God Bless us.
My brother. As iron sharpens iron we should know how to work with our tools, and yield our weapons and the true purposes of armor.
Psalms 1:1-3
[1]Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
[2]But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
[3]And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
So as someone that comes into the faith, we wanted to be the blessed that we have been blessed to be. And it says first, is to not walk in the counsel of the ungodly. That means we do not look for counsel on how to obey God from anyone but God, and we have the prophets and priests that heard from God and wrote to us about who is Godly. Jesus said that no man knows God but the son and the son is Jesus. And he said power is in his name. His name is Salvation. So the counsel we are to seek from God is about salvation.
And our happiness should come from the law and we should meditate on it. That means to study for insight into the Word. Not look for things to know about the bible or how to see signs, but how to keep the commandments that work towards salvation.
Psalms 19:7-12
[7]The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.
[8]The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.
[9]The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.
[10]More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
[11]Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.
[12]Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults.
And we know even Jesus told the disciples. John 16:7-11
[7]Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.
[8]And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
[9]Of sin, because they believe not on me;
[10]Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;
[11]Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.
And then after His death and resurrection the disciples and apostles spoke of how they then understood, once the holy ghost was upon them and then they did the work of God.
2 Peter 2:1-2
[1]But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
[2]And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.
And this is standing in the way of sinners. Not following the way laid out for us when we hear it, but wanting to stay in our own understanding. Which does not bring completion.
2 Peter 1:1-11
[1]Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ:
[2]Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,
[3]According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:
[4]Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
[5]And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;
[6]And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;
[7]And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.
[8]For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
[9]But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.
[10]Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:
[11]For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
By these things. We dont sit in the seat of the scornful. Which is being the mockery of unbelievers because we fusd and are divided amongst ourselves and stay in that state.
Have I strayed from a narrow path? Each said they speak the same thing and that which continues in prophesy is what we are to pay attention to.
