Part 6 of: Come take a walk on the Control side.

Just to inform you; yes you, if this is your first time joining us in this study; there are two epistles in which you missed that are very important and it’s beneficial unto your spiritual understanding. That’s if you desire to take the time out and read them; but we prefer you would study them by searching them out in the Word of God; before attempting to fully understand this very food for thought which is before you on this day, being 4/10/18, which makes today a Tuesday. The reason why we are pointing these things out, we really do not have the time, nor the space in this epistle to rehash all in which was said earlier. After saying this, we of the leadership team of Grace Message Church Ministries ask that you would turn your Word of God unto verses 5-7 of the 1st chapter of the First scroll of Samuel: in those scriptures there is a conversation between two women “who are really symbolic pictures of churches” and these women were married to the same man; their husband’s authority and character was: God has obtained, or God of the zealous; which is, the zeal of God. This man’s name was Elkanah, and his wives name were fruitful or we know her as being Peninnah “and by her being fruitful unto him, she was considered as being a precious stone, a pearl and he loved to see her face: that’s according to the meaning of her name from the Hitchcock’s Bible Names Dictionary; Which made it seem as this church was booming.” Elkanah’s other wife, her name was Hannah “and in spite of it all, she was her husband’s, favored: that’s according to the meaning of her name from the Strong’s Concordance of the Bible” nevertheless, this wife, or favored symbolic church; the LORD had shut up her womb, that she was deprived by the supreme Divinity in that manner of not being prosperous to the naked eye. This temporary depriving, it made her seem as if she was deprived for a good reason; as if she would have had her priorities not in proper order; at least that’s the way Peninnah perceived it; because she had children and thought that her children would make her husband love her the best. This sounds just like Leah and Rachel; as can be read in the 34th verse of the 29th chapter of the scroll of Genesis. How many of us know, when we have to seek the LORD diligently in order for Him to loose what He has been holding back from us for years; we will treat that answered prayer with the upmost respect, which is in the order and plans towards pleasing God? But that dog gone woman named Peninnah, her being Hannah’s adversary, ONLY because of jealousy; so, she provoked Hannah sore, to the point that Hannah was fret “which is Hannah being troubled, or irritated in her soul, that she roared like thunder in her anger toward Peninnah; and her wondering of why God has withheld from her.” Nevertheless, year by year, went Hannah up to Jerusalem to pray and worship God; but Peninnah was right there also; that’s when Hannah continually wept at a time of celebration, as is seen in the 8th verse of that same 1st chapter of the First scroll of Samuel. We are able also to see, that Hannah’s husband, Elkanah, he was desperately trying to comfort his unfruitful favored wife with these words: why weepest thou Hannah “I believe, that’s when Hannah looked at him as in, what do you mean?” Elkanah continued by asking why eatest thou not “Hannah thinking within herself, like you don’t know the answer?” Elkanah also asked her, why is thy heart grieved “Hannah thinking within herself a second time; like you don’t know this reason either?” Now Elkanah asking this VERY wrong question: AM NOT I BETTER TO THEE THAN TEN SONS? O LORD, somebody help the brother out!!!! Because the brother’s rap game is weak, seeing that the main issue was no children of her own; so, why would he mention or remind her of not having children together which are involved in their marriage. Please do not over look this fact, Peninnah had children first, before Hannah had one; now a very important scripture, being the 46th verse of the 15th chapter of the First scroll of Corinthians reads: howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual. Peninnah was not a spiritual mother, nor was she equipped to train up a child in the way he should go; for her actions were not genuine, to the pleasing of her husband; her actions were more geared toward the; lets’ see how bad I could aggravate my husband’s other wife; by acting as if I’m pleasing my husband with these many children. What Peninnah failed to realize, being occupied with torturing her sister; for she was to busy causing drama in the home; and not being focused on being pleasing to the LORD God, by showing mercy and compassion unto the less fortunate. In spite of it all, their husband, he was a faithful worshiper of the God of Israel; Selah!!! We reiterate, though Peninnah went up year after year with her husband to Jerusalem which was the right location of worshiping; but her going up, it was to keep an eye on Hannah; which means her eyes were never of the LORD, though she was given sacrifices to offer. Hannah was trying, but Hannah had to get out of her failing to cheer her up, husband’s face, as is shown in the 9th verse of the 1st chapter of the First scroll of Samuel; for she ran to the temple and prostrated herself in prayer there, because of the bitterness of her soul. When a person reaches that point, she/they would vow a vow unto the LORD of hosts; WOW!!!!!!!! The scripture did not say, she vowed a vow unto the LORD God or the LORD God of Israel; the 11th verse of the 1st chapter of the First scroll of Samuel clearly shows: her vow was unto the LORD of Armies; as if to say: if I don’t stand by my vow; send your hosts/your armies after me and avenge Yourself. Once again, we say; WOW!!!!! Peninnah, she would not have ever vowed a vow like this. So, in making that type of vow; Hannan specifically asked for a man child in her prayer. As if that wasn’t enough, then Hannah vowed to give her finally received man child back unto the LORD, after she has nursed him and weaned him from the youth of her milk; as was the case with Moses mother with Pharaoh’s daughter. This step is done at an early age, in order that the child would not be to contaminated with carnal doctrine from that household in which he was nurtured before being weaned; Selah!!!! Get this revelation people of God; your man-child is selected and dedicated at a young age and even before then; which is a confirmation of what has just been said, Selah!!! For God said unto Jeremiah in the 7th verse of the 1st chapter of the scroll of Jeremiah: say not, I am a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak; so this is what Hannah’s man child did also. Hannah kept up her part of the vow, and she turned her weaned only at the time son over into the hands of Eli. From that point on in Samuel’s life, Eli became Samuel’s spiritual parent; even while Samuel’s physical father and his physical mother were still alive. And as strange as it may seem, Hannah’s husband was on board; would your husband be??? Which brings to pass, the 10th verse of the 27th chapter of the scroll of Psalms which states: when my “physical” father and “physical” mother forsake me “in teaching me God’s ways” then the LORD will take me up. And place me with someone whose competing in the same event at this spiritual track-meet; or someone who’s equipped in all areas of the games; as is stated in the 5th verse of the 2nd chapter of the Second scroll of Timothy in these words: if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully. So, if I’m to run the five hundred meters for my team, I cannot train with someone who only knows the long jump, nor can I train with someone who only knows the pole vault, neither a person who’s only equipped in the high jump, neither a person who’s only skillful in the shot put, though we all are in the same games and on the same team. So, it’s the LORD God who will place me/you and teach me His way and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies; and that’s done by being placed with someone who’s training and running your exact race, or who is skilled in them all. For, our first physical parents were only skilled in carnal things for our survival; but when we are born again of the spirit; we will be guided to the correct spiritual parents who are to take over from that point in our growth in the Lord, and this spiritual parent will aggravate you like your physical parents did. This parent, or parents, they will be equipped with Words which are spirit, truth and life; which are foreign to your physical being. As is easily seen in the 63rd verse of the 6th chapter of the scroll of John in these words: when Yhowshua/Jesus said, the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. And it is the spirit that quickens/which is to make a person alive in the Lord. This transfer of parents, it is clearly seen in verses 19-20 of the 1st chapter of the scroll of Mark which points out: and when Yhowshua/Jesus had gone a little further thence, after calling Peter and his brother Andrew, Yhowshua/Jesus saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the ship mending their nets “which was being about what their physical father could teach them; but their existence was higher than where they were, and where they were did not seem bad at all.” But straightway Yhowshua/Jesus called them: “WATCH THIS” THEY LEFT THEIR PHYSICAL FATHER ZEBEDEE IN THE SHIP OF THE FAMILY’S BUISNESS with the hired servants, and James and John went after their new born-again training parents. Those spiritual parents, being the Word of God and the Holy Ghost, which lighten upon the Word of God; Selah!!!! This spiritual equipping was not a job nor calling for Zebedee; his work was over in his sons lives!! Sad to say, as most saints of today, when they are offended, as all eleven of the disciples were, when Yhowshua/Jesus was crucified and laid in a tomb; they went back to what their physical parents taught four of the disciples and those four were Peter and his brother Andrew and James and John: and that backward steps was a fishing; because things did not turn out the way they thought it would. Please don’t miss this, the Holy Ghost is training disciples to become teachers; for a student is not above his master, but when his physical spiritual master is taken away, as Elijah was taken from Elisha; Elisha has now become the teacher. Even as it was in the disciples lives, when Yhowshua/Jesus was taken away; Selah!!! Yhowshua/Jesus said it this way: 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. So, as long as Elisha’s teacher remained there, he could not get totally and more of what his teacher had; we understanding that even Yhowshua/Jesus said; greater works than these shall you do, because I go unto the Father. In turning our focus again, we see the LORD God instructing Jeremiah in verses 1-2 of the 18th chapter of the scroll of Jeremiah. And if you desire to see where this is going; tune into our next food for thought; for enough has been said to make you go hmm!!! We of the leadership team of Grace Message church ministries, we will speak with you at a later date, that’s if it’s the Lord’s will, until then, sayonara!!!!
