Part 46 of: The truth and nothing but the truth

As we of the leadership team of Grace Message Church Ministries, send out unto every follower, a warm heart felt greeting! Yet, we pause for the moment, just to inform every reader or studier of this here food for thought, if thou desire to be blessed, there is a video in which we have posted on Grace M Church Facebook page, and its inscription is: in this video, which speaks concerning the adoption of us who were once sold into bondage by first Adam. And the Buyer was the devil. But last Adam bought us back, and the Spirit of God has adopted us into the family of God. If you would do yourselves a favor, by taking time out to watch this video; we reiterate, you will be blessed. That statement is true, you will be blessed!!!! Now, if you would turn your focus back unto the 20th chapter of the First book of Samuel; in verses 1-18 we are able to see two true friends squared off; one friend being totally anointed, and the other friend knows that his friend is anointed and highly favored of God. But the anointed friend name David, he makes a strange request of his friend Jonathan. But first David said; I thought you said, you could trust your own judgement concerning your father’s decisions, or you were able to read your father like a book in which you grew up reading for years, knowing when the hidden punch lines were coming? Notwithstanding, it has turned out that your father has taken notice of our relationship, not being just mere brother-in-law, but close knitted friends, as being in a blood covenant; and the blood is mine, thought David, and his thoughts were right. Jonathan, in case you did not know, your father Saul has determined, that there’s nothing in which my son will not do for the promoting of his friend to my throne. Stop for a moment, and don’t just read what has been said; lets take time out and feel what has been said; and allow what is going on to roll around in our thoughts for the moment. For there are many mixed emotions taking place here, among Saul, among Jonathan and among David; and all are feeling as they are the victim. In reality, Saul represented our body, while Jonathan represents our soul, and David represents our spirit, which is newly young born-again man, Selah!!! We see the symbolic picture of our body named Saul, he was thinking or feeling as everyone else was evil, other than himself. When in fact, the Bible only shows that an evil spirit was sent to him, or that part of the tri-part of man. Just think about it for a moment, those who are operating under the guidance of an evil spirit, they always feel as everyone else is out to steal their recognition, in which we would say, to steal their thunder: keep in mind that we are painting this picture as all of this is taking place in one person. But the flesh realization of feeling jealous took place in verses 5-9 of the 18th chapter of the First book of Samuel in these words: and David WENT OUT WHITHERSOEVER SAUL SENT HIM, and behaved himself AS IF HE WERE AN EXPERT, in which the Bible calls wisely: and Saul set him over the men of war, and he was accepted in the sight of all the people, and also in the sight of Saul's servants. And it came to pass as they came, when David was returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, that the women came out of all cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet king Saul, with tabrets, with joy, and with instruments of musick. And the women answered one another as they played, and said, Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his tens of thousands. And Saul was very wroth “because his symbolic born again part was successful” and the saying displeased him: who was the symbolic part known as the flesh” and he said, they have ascribed unto David tens of thousands, and to me they have ascribed but thousands: and what can he “symbolically the spirit man” have more but the kingdom “as is predicted in the 3rd verse of the 3rd chapter of the book of John in these words: verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God?” And Saul “or the flesh” eyed David “symbolic of the spirit man” from that day and forward. Yes, your own flesh is jealous of the success of your spirit man; as is shown in these words from verses 18-24 of the 7th chapter of the book of Romans: for I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. I find then a law or principle, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. For I delight in the law or principle of God after the inward man: But I see another law or principle in my members “BKA my tri-part being” warring against the law or principle of my mind BKA soul, and bringing me into captivity to the law or principle of sin which is in my members “tri-part being.” O wretched or miserable human being that I am “seeing that all of this is going on in me!” Who shall deliver me from the body “or enslavement” of this death “so we know that Saul being a symbolic picture of the body or flesh, he must die, with our emotions BKA our souls from our desires and line ourselves, souls with God’s Word, as was commanded from the beginning when man was recognized as a living soul? In case you missed it; here’s the jealousy of the flesh; when Saul said: the women who were symbolic pictures of churches, they with one accord have bestowed unto David or the spirit man tens of thousands “victories” and to me, the king, they have bestowed but a thousand “victories” and what can David have more but my kingdom? For Saul was only one, and one, that’s without God in his life; he was only able to chase a thousand, as is stated in the 30th verse of the 32nd chapter of the book of Deuteronomy. Now, David, being himself under the Spirit of God’s guidance, it made David two, and qualified to put ten thousand to flight; as is stated in that same 30th verse of the 32nd chapter of the book of Deuteronomy. What we have pointed out, is where most Christians and immature saints take notice of the tides turning negative for David; when in fact, it began before here the 20th chapter of the First book of Samuel; it actually began with the young symbolic picture of the born-again man David, defeating Goliath in the presence of Saul, BKA the flesh and the flesh whole army. This caused Saul to build up hostility toward David, and Saul’s hostility nurtured the flesh jealousy, and when a person nurtures anything, it means that you are feeding it, and it will grow larger no matter what, and one day its growth would make you ask yourself, how is this larger than I??? This nurtured Jealousy of Saul’s, it was nutrition only for the evil spirit in which dwelt within Saul. Let’s dive deeper, the Word of God is nutrition in which the Spirit of God that covers us dines upon. For the Word of God, if followed, He produces fruits in our lives, and our husbandman, who is our heavenly Father; He prunes us: as is stated in verses 1-2 of the 15th chapter of the book of John in these words: I “the Word of God” am the true vine “which is the support and producer” and my Father is the husbandman. Every branch in me that beareth not fruit He taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, He purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. So truly ask yourselves and be honest once in a life time with yourselves, who are you feeding; because that part of you will take over the rest of you??? This face to face confrontation between David and Jonathan, we never saw coming “just the spirit man was confronting his soul” just as there may arise a confrontation between you and your knitted friend, in whom your knitted friend knows that the Lord is with thee. In other words, if you have never confronted your soul, and if it never seemed as if your soul had lied to you, then something is already wrong with you; for we know that the woman soul in the garden, lied to her from the beginning and we are that woman which was a symbolic picture of the first church. From the moment we accepted the Lord as our Saviour we have allowed some lies to have been imbedded in us even as Saul of Tarshish did. But as we grew in the Lord we counted those things as dung and began to think differently. Get this, these types of confrontations within yourself, they are good for friendship; because they prove where a person’s heart truly lies. For hear the words of David unto his friend Jonathan; if there is any deception in you Jonathan, in you misleading me and setting me up for my destruction at thy father’s hand; Jonathan, please just kill me yourself? These words are spoken in the 8th verse of the 20th chapter of the First book of Samuel in this manner: therefore thou shalt DEAL KINDLY with ME AND ME BEING DAVID, WHO AM thy servant, THY BEING JONATHAN; for thou, Jonathan hast brought me, David, thy servant into a covenant of the LORD with thee “as is recorded in the 3rd verse of the 18th chapter of the First book of Samuel.” David continues by saying, notwithstanding, if there be in me iniquity, Jonathan I beg of thee, slay me thyself; for why shouldest thou bring me to thy father? In other words, David was asking Jonathan, if you see anything in which I have acted against the Word and purpose of God; be merciful Jonathan to me; and slay me yourself. But do not bring me before YOUR father BKA family member, or flesh, who sees me as his greatest threat. David understanding that Saul desires were to make a spectacle out of him; by brutally beating him before the same women who once gave him praise. As if that wasn’t an embarrassment enough; then Saul would have beheaded David, even as David beheaded all of carnal Israel’s greatest threat, named Goliath. In doing so, it would have been said of Saul; that Saul beheaded the giant killer; this type of reputation would have pushed Saul’s ratings from the women, through the roof. This is what’s happening in the households of prayer around the world today in the 2018th year; so much is this true, that the congregations of the Lord, they are having battles of the choirs; just to see whose choir is the best. Excuse us, for we never ever studied these types of battles in God’s Word; we never saw where the true men of God battled to see who preached better than the other. In fact, it was the church in Corinth, who began the battles of the apostle, as is written in verses 3-5 of the 3rd chapter of the First book of Corinthians in these words: for ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men? FOR WHILE ONE SAYS, I AM OF PAUL; AND ANOTHER SAY, I AM OF APOLLOS; are ye not carnal, and have not the Holy Spirit? Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man? So, we see preachers robbing the people, and convincing them to send their money only to their congregation, because they are convincing the people that they are the only ones who have good grounds. But Paul continues in verse 21-23 of the 3rd chapter of the First book of Corinthians by saying: therefore, let no man glory in men. For all things are yours, family of God; WHETHER PAUL, OR APOLLOS, OR CEPHAS, do not glory in the world, or in life, or in death, or in things present, or in things to come; for all are yours; and ye are Christ's “which created you” and Christ is the supreme Divinity, the Bible calls God. So, David was saying unto Jonathan, if I lay down my life in thy hands, thou would be merciful unto me and would not make an open show of me. Each reader, we ask that you would ask yourselves this grand question, are you blessed and highly favored? Are you able to lay down your life into the hands of someone who loves you, and allow them to take your life; even as David was willing to do with Jonathan. And as Isaac did with his father Abraham, and as Yhowshua did with YHWH, His heavenly Father??? Because it will cost you something, if you agree or not!!!! Here is where we will pause for the moment, for enough has been said to make you go hmm. We will speak with you at a later date, that’s if it’s the Lord’s will, sayonara!!!!
