Are you SINCERE?

1 Corinthians 2:13

King James Version

13 Which things also we speak, 

not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, 

but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; 

comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

Blame it on my hearing.

Which latched on to the word "sincere".

All because I heard a sermon using that word.

And here's how it sounded.

Go check.

Didn't that sound like:

sin-seer?

Honestly?

It sounded that to me.

The playful mind GOD gave me, thought a thing.

Wouldn't it be nice if we are seers with our own sins?

That we can clearly see, and acknowledge our sins?

Since we're full of it, anyway.

I know GOD doesn't like seers.

Leviticus 19:31

King James Version

31 Regard not them that have familiar spirits, 

neither seek after wizards, 

to be defiled by them: 

I am the Lord your God.

But for the purpose of this article, I chose the other  definitions Merriam-Webster gave out.

"Seer" is:

-- one that sees

-- a person credited with extraordinary moral and spiritual insight

I am not referring to those practicing divination.

Only GOD sees.

Only His SPIRIT sees.

And He calls our attention to it.

If you're born again, a Bible-believing person, you will surely hear the LORD.

You will see as GOD wants you to see.

Especially with the issues of sin.

And you will pay attention.

SEAR that sin, through the FIRE of the HOLY SPIRIT:

2 Corinthians 7:1

King James Version

7 Having therefore these promises, 

dearly beloved, 

let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness 

of the flesh and spirit, 

perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

So, are you sin-seer?

SPIRIT and STOCK knowledge

 

Isaiah 61:11

King James Version

11 For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, 

and as the garden causeth the things 

that are sown in it to spring forth; 

so the Lord God will cause righteousness 

and praise to spring forth before all the nations.

Do we have the SEEDS to know the HOLY SPIRIT?

Even before we became born again?

Even if we're not yet born again?

Even if we don't know GOD yet?

Even if we're not believers yet?

For sure!

For we were given the GIFT of LIFE.

Check what Scripture has to say:

GOD's BREATH of LIFE is in us.

Genesis 2:7

King James Version

7 And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, 

and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; 

and man became a living soul.

Job 33:4

King James Version

4 The spirit of God hath made me, 

and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life.

By the very breath of life GOD gave us, we became a living soul.

Why, then, do we follow the ways of the world?

Why can't we honor our bodies, as temples of His SPIRIT, when GOD's SPIRIT dwells in us?

1 Corinthians 3:16

King James Version

16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, 

and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

We are buds waiting to fully bloom.

Unless we are born again in CHRIST, we have "stuck knowledge".

Only the SPIRIT of GOD can get us to full bloom.

Only He can activate us, in His service.

John 14:26

King James Version

26 But the Comforter, 

which is the Holy Ghost, 

whom the Father will send in my name, 

he shall teach you all things, 

and bring all things to your remembrance, 

whatsoever I have said unto you.

Romans 8:11

King James Version

11 But if the Spirit of him 

that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, 

he that raised up Christ from the dead 

shall also quicken your mortal bodies 

by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.

John 6:63

King James Version

63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; 

the flesh profiteth nothing: 

the words that I speak unto you, 

they are spirit, 

and they are life.

We ALL have that POTENTIAL to blossom in CHRIST.

1 Corinthians 12:13

King James Version

13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, 

whether we be Jews or Gentiles, 

whether we be bond or free; 

and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.

There can never be stuck knowledge when SPIRIT's around.

He will teach us about JESUS.

John 15:26

King James Version

26 But when the Comforter is come, 

whom I will send unto you from the Father, 

even the Spirit of truth, 

which proceedeth from the Father, 

he shall testify of me:

ROE versus WADE

 

Genesis 1:20

King James Version

20 And God said, 

Let the waters bring forth abundantly 

the moving creature that hath life, 

and fowl that may fly above the earth 

in the open firmament of heaven.

Why the constant debate about Roe versus Wade?

The abortion issue.

It's all water anyway.

Roe, fish roe.

Wade, wade in the river.

Babies in the womb were protected by amniotic fluid.

It's all water.

LIFE is all about GOD.

For His presence was like warm sea foam in an old dream I had.

Creating comfort and reassurance in my heart.

He is the LIVING WATERS.

In case you think I'm being flippant about things, I shall write another article SPIRIT's been guiding me to.

"WHEN did LIFE begin?"

The things man fight about needs the TRUTH of GOD in it.

But we took GOD out of the courts.

What can we expect?

The debates continue.

While millions of babies have died.

GOD was clear:

Exodus 20:13

King James Version

13 Thou shalt not kill.

Leviticus 18:21

King James Version

21 And thou shalt not let any of thy seed 

pass through the fire to Molech*, 

neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God:

 I am the Lord.

We need GOD, more than ever.

One day, it will all be water, under the bridge.

For the bridge is JESUS.

The MEDIATOR.

Ephesians 2:18

King James Version

18 For through him we both have access 

by one Spirit unto the Father.

The tree GOD hates

 

Romans 1:25

King James Version

25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, 

and worshipped and served the creature 

more than the Creator, 

who is blessed for ever. 

Amen.

Idola-TREE.

That makes GOD's blood boil like anything.

Man has serious learning disability, a very short attention span, and a deeply ungrateful heart, as he keeps turning to idolatry.

Observe why SPIRIT and I call idolatry, idola-TREE:

Jeremiah 10:1-4

King James Version

10 Hear ye the word 

which the Lord speaketh unto you, 

O house of Israel:

2 Thus saith the Lord, 

Learn not the way of the heathen, 

and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; 

for the heathen are dismayed at them.

3 For the customs of the people are vain: 

for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, 

the work of the hands of the workman, 

with the axe.

4 They deck it with silver 

and with gold; 

they fasten it with nails 

and with hammers, 

that it move not.

GOD is The LIVING GOD.

He is the FOUNTAIN of LIVING WATERS.

He is alive, vibrant, and powerful.

It is right God rages at all our abominations.

Early on, the LORD commanded:

Exodus 20:1-6

King James Version

20 And God spake all these words, 

saying,

2 I am the Lord thy God, 

which have brought thee 

out of the land of Egypt, 

out of the house of bondage.

3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, 

or any likeness of any thing 

that is in heaven above, 

or that is in the earth beneath, 

or that is in the water under the earth.

5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, 

nor serve them: 

for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, 

visiting the iniquity of the fathers 

upon the children 

unto the third 

and fourth generation of them 

that hate me;

6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them 

that love me, 

and keep my commandments.

I serve the LIVING GOD.

I am a child of the LIVING GOD.

Whose child are you?

BORN AGAIN's 3Rs

 

John 14:26

King James Version

26 But the Comforter, 

which is the Holy Ghost, 

whom the Father will send in my name, 

he shall teach you all things, 

and bring all things to your remembrance, 

whatsoever I have said unto you.

Learning from SPIRIT is fun.

I learned the 3Rs:

RIDDING

Getting rid of anything ungodly.

1 Peter 2:1-3

King James Version

2 Wherefore laying aside 

all malice, 

and all guile, 

and hypocrisies, 

and envies, 

and all evil speakings,

2 As newborn babes, 

desire the sincere milk of the word, 

that ye may grow thereby:

3 If so be 

ye have tasted that the Lord 

is gracious.

RIGHTING 

Getting right with God.

Mark 1:15

King James Version

15 And saying, 

The time is fulfilled, 

and the kingdom of God is at hand: 

repent ye, 

and believe the gospel.

RHYTHMETIC

Walking in step with God.

Galatians 5:16

King James Version

16 This I say then, 

Walk in the Spirit, 

and ye shall not fulfil 

the lust of the flesh.

When taught by the SPIRIT of GOD, as born again, you will automatically drop things that are not of GOD.

That's when true education begins.
