God delivers messages to the people through Moses, HIS prophet

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...

Exodus 19

 

1 In the third month, when the children of Israel were gone forth out of the land of Egypt, the same day came they into the wilderness of Sinai.

2 For they were departed from Rephidim, and were come to the desert of Sinai, and had pitched in the wilderness; and there Israel camped before the mount.

3 And Moses went up unto God, and the LORD called unto him out of the mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel;

4 Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles' wings, and brought you unto Myself.

(It is good for each of us to think on those things which God has done in our lives.)

5 Now therefore, if ye will obey MY voice indeed, and keep MY covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto ME above all people: for all the earth is Mine:

6 And ye shall be unto ME a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. 

These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel.

Today, God speaks directly to each of us, HIS children, through the Holy Spirit of Jesus who lives in each born again person who is the elect of God.

 

Hebrews 1:2-3  God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,

2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by HIS Son, WHOM HE hath appointed heir of all things, by WHOM also HE made the worlds;

1 Peter 2

 

1 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.

4 To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious,

5 Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.

(spiritual sacrifices: seeking God's will; giving up our own ways and fleshly desires in order to go in HIS ways; following the ways shown us by HIS Spirit.)

6 Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on HIM shall not be confounded.

7 Unto you therefore which believe HE (Jesus Christ the Word) is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner,

8 And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.

9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; 

(God chose each of us by opening our understanding to the Word, making us HIS own.  After we understood we chose Him, HIS way.  But first HE, God caused us to see, caused us to understand the truth of the Word.  Thus God chose us.  We did not choose God until after God revealed HIS own truth to us.)

 

that ye should shew forth the praises of HIM who hath called you out of darkness into HIS marvellous light:

(We praise God and exalt God each time we share with other people that which God has done for us.)

10 Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.

 

(God chose us having mercy on us.  Romans 9:16-18  So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy. For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew MY power in thee, and that MY name might be declared throughout all the earth.  Therefore hath HE mercy on whom HE will have mercy, and whom HE will he hardeneth.)

 

God chose us and revealed HIMSELF to us, not of any goodness in us but because of goodness in HIM.  Therefore we are continually grateful to God for our salvation!

God opened our eyes to believe in Jesus, The Word.  And God gave us HIS Holy Spirit to teach us and guide us and to remind us of everything The Word has said to us.

 

John 14:26  (Jesus said)  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.

 

John 16:13  Howbeit when HE, the Spirit of truth, is come, HE will guide you into all truth: for HE shall not speak of HIMSELF; but whatsoever HE shall hear (from God), that shall HE speak: and HE will shew you things to come.

 

I Corinthians 2

 

9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love HIM.

10 But God hath revealed them unto us by HIS Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.

11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.

12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.

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.

14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

I John 4

 

4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is HE that is in you, than he that is in the world.

5 They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.

6 We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. 

Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

The Holy Spirit of God brings to our mind scriptures and concepts to show us what to do as we deal with the problems of this present life.  As we go in the way shown us by the Holy Spirit, we produce the fruits of the Holy Spirit by our actions and we do the will of God as we do that which the Holy Spirit shows us to do and to say.

 

Galatians 5:22-23  But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance:

 

Romans 8:1   There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

 

14  For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
