My Thoughts As I Read The Word Of God! This One’s For You Valerie! I Love You Sis!

Acts 17:11 Notes:

And the people of Berea were more open-minded than those in Thessalonica, and they listened eagerly to Paul’s message. They searched the Scriptures day after day to see if Paul and Silas were teaching the truth.

As I reflect on this I realize the importance of not seeking out others to teach me. I have to rely on God’s Word and His Word alone. It is ok to hear others speak however when it becomes of me to start to ask everyone other than God for revelation I might not get the truth!

John 1: 1-5

In the beginning the Word already existed. and the Word was with God. and the Word was God. He existed in the beginning with God. God created everything through him, and nothing was created except through him. The Word gave life to everything that was created,and his life brought light to everyone. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it.

What I am gathering of this is the Word is God. And the Word has always existed. God created everything through (Him) Jesus and nothing was created except through (Him) Jesus. The Word spoke everything into existence and even so Jesus was the sacrifice and paid the price of our sins and transgressions so that we could receive the free gift of Salvation! Everything around (Him) Jesus was brought into light and no amount of darkness can ever put out that light.

Hebrews 4 12-13

For the Word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires. Nothing in all creation is hidden from God. Everything is naked and exposed before His eyes, and He is the one to whom we are accountable.

Definition of joint: A place or part at which two or more things are joined. A point of articulation between two or more bones, especially such a connection that allows motion.Definition of Marrow: The inmost, choicest, or essential part; the pith. Strength or vigor, vitality marrow /mar·row/ (mar´o) bone marrow; the soft organic material filling the cavities of bones, made up of a fiber-rich meshwork of connective tissue, the meshes being filled with marrow cells, which consist variously of fat cells, large nucleated cells or myelocytes, and megakaryocytes.
Reflecting on this.. is very profound. I looked up the definiton as I felt to get better understanding not in a medical sense but in God sense! WOW!

What a revelation when you ponder on these truths.. The Word of God exposes our innermost thoughts and desires! the deep things within us that are connected, joined together.. the material filling the cavities of our spirits and our souls!

What I think about is when we give ourselves away… becoming fragmented pieces… But Thank the Lord He is re-newing our hearts our minds For He knows what is done in secret… He knows our motives… And we all are accountable to God!

The Word fills our hearts our minds our souls our spirits with truth that is alive and breathing it is sharper than the sharpest sword. (cutting between soul and spirit! between joint and marrow! and exposes us!) God is putting back together the fragmented pieces of my life!

My life as well as many others are like puzzles that are in pieces and God is putting us back together again… Filling us with His Spirit! His Power! His Anointing! His Love! His Joy! His Peace! He wants us free and the only way to freedom is to expose these hidden sins in our lives! Allowing God to wash us clean.. Renouncing and Repenting our wrong motives our wrong desires our hidden sins! How are we to be effective for the Kingdom of God if we are in Bondage?

Reflecting on the Words the Lord had spoken to me.. This came to mind.. when He spoke to me: “I know your thoughts, yes, you have many obstacles but your love for Me is real” “The more you seek Me, the more I will teach you My ways.” “Nothing pleases My Fathers Heart more than for you to admit your weaknesses, to admit your need for Him!” “Your willing heart pleases Me. For I can teach a willing child” “Your heart is in a healing mode, the more time you spend with Me, the more your heart will open up to Me and the healing process can begin.” “There are so many deep roots in you I must pull out..and I know what to work on at the present.”

I understand God is working on healing my most innerparts. I am thankful. Humbled. This will take time. I know but as this process takes place I need to focus on God and only God. You see my testimony has been posted. Yes, all is true. However when the Lord spoke Words unto me the first time, He stated to me: “I did not pull you out of the fire, so your testimony could be hidden, I pulled you out of the fire so others could see MY GLORY!”

To be honest, to myself and everyone else. My past is to painful to speak out all that has happened. Not at this time. For I am not ready. I am so ashamed for what I did. I am truly embarrassed. I know one day I will speak all for I know God will grant me courage. But right now I know and He knows I am not ready.

I lay naked before Him. Asking Him to give me strength as my heart hurts. God did not say it would be easy, but He has said He is with Me as I go through this healing process. Simply put we are all (the saved) going through this to some degree or another. We simply need to spend time and allow Him to pull the Deep Roots out. It will hurt, but it will be so worth it.

2 Tim 3:16 All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It (the Scripture) corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right.

So anytime we have a question, a problem, when we are wondering, thinking, being attacked, We must we have to seek God first! We must seek the

Word… for it is True. For it will show the error of our wrong ways. It will guide us into all understanding. We should never seek out others opinions

without FIRST seeking God! For God is perfect and mans ways are not!

1 Peter 1 22-25

Through Christ you have come to trust in God. And you have placed your faith and hope in God because He raised Christ from the dead and gave Him great glory. You were cleansed from your sins when you obeyed the truth, so now you must show sincere love to each other as brothers and sisters. Love each other deeply with all your heart. For you have been born again, but not to a life that will quickly end. Your new life will last forever because it comes from the eternal, living Word of God! As the Scriptures say: “People are like grass, their beauty is like a flower in the field. The grass withers and the flower fades, But the Word of the Lord remains forever!”

Trust has always been one of my biggest enemys…For many have mis-treated me leaving me my heart to die. But God has went out of His way to show me How wide, How deep His love is for me.. as I still yet to have grasped fully this amazing truth! I remember the Lord saying to me: “When I saved you, Did I wash you clean? Or did I wash you partly clean?”

That hit me again as I was writing this down. I need to allow the Lord to work these deep roots out of me so that I may be completely free… He says to me: I love you with a perfect love, and those He loves He chastens. We are not able to Love ourselves and others until we are able to receive His love first. I love Him because He first loved ME!

Be Blessed!

    I Praise God, I lift up His Holy Name for He has answered you exceedingly! The word says Isiah 61:3 (last part)They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of HIS splendor” You are the glory of God, the display of his splendor. Psalm 1:1-4 Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked ways or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers. But His delight is in the law of the Lord, on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yield its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers. Jer 17:8 He will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit. God has called us out of the pit to stand firm on His word and love like a mighty oak tree, right now we are but a tender shoot Is 60:21 Then will all your people be righteous forever, they are the shoot I have planted, the work of my hands for the display of my splendor” God is raising you up and in Him you will grow strong and become a beautiful tree bearing the fruit of His love.
