Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given...

[orbiter]

Peace in Christ.

The Lord comes to open up the Scriptures in the voice of the Spirit of God sent from Heaven to our hearing ears and we are to take heed on how we hear as more (knowledge) shall be given.

Man must not rail at what he hears so that he will be given it. If he does not have faith in it, then what he thought he had will be taken from him. He will not be able then to believe in what he hears....faith will be taken away from him.

Whosoever has faith (by manifesting it outwardly by our good works) in the hearing of His voice, His revealed knowledge shall be given to them and will be able to enter in to know all of His knowledge.

Luke 8:18-21 KJV
(18) Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have.

We cannot enter in to His knowledge when we speak multiple words of unbelief (the “press”…the multitude) against the hearing of His words. Like His mother and His brothers, we can not come to Him because of the multiple number of words spoken at the hearing of His voice.

(19) Then came to him his mother and his brethren, and could not come at him for the press.

They “stood without”. Outside His knowledge will be those who can not come to Him because of the multiple of unbelieving words (the “press”).

(20) And it was told him by certain which said, Thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to see thee.

Only those who will hear the true Word of God and will keep His commandments shall be able to enter in to understand the full knowledge of God….the “true sayings of God”.

(21) And he answered and said unto them, My mother and my brethren are these which hear the word of God, and do it.

Scripture must be God-breathed to be profitable…..in other words, interpreted by the Spirit of God. We then are made complete by the good works that are done towards the hearing of His interpretation of them in the Spirit of God.

2Ti 3:16-17 KJV
(16) All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
(17) That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works

The word of men that preaches the Scriptures in his own earthly understanding is not profitable. They wrest the Scriptures to their own destruction.

He begets us with the Word of Truth (vs the “word of men” that is being preached by those who do not have the Spirit).

We are to be “swift to hear” and slow to speak, slow to wrath.

Jas 1:18-20 KJV
(18) Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.
(19) Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:
(20) For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.

When He opens His mouth to teach us ….interpreting the Scriptures from Heaven (the “mountain” that He sits in for judgment)…blessed (HAPPY) are those who are poor in “spirit”…that is, poor in breath….as they will keep their words few. They will be able to enter in to know the mysteries of the kingdom. They will be able to REJOICE in what they hear. Happy are the poor in spirit....poor in words spoken by their breath.

Mat 5:1-3 KJV
(1) And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him:
(2) And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,
(3) Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Yet, there will be many who will not keep their mouths shut at the hearing of His voice from Heaven.

The “sacrifice of fools” are those who will speak a multitude of words against what they hear rather than be ready to hear. A fool’s voice is known by the multitude of his words in contention of what he hears.

Ecc 5:1-3 KJV
(1) Keep thy foot when thou goest to the house of God, and be more ready to hear, than to give the sacrifice of fools: for they consider not that they do evil.
(2) Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be hasty to utter any thing before God: for God is in heaven, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few.
(3) For a dream cometh through the multitude of business; and a fool's voice is known by multitude of words.

They will not bridle their tongue but will speak out with many words and will say to the messenger sent out by Him to speak His words to them that what he preaches is an “error”.

Ecc 5:6-7 KJV
(6) Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin; neither say thou before the angel, that it was an error: wherefore should God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thine hands?

But we are counseled to FEAR GOD. Fearing God is to keep His commandments. Those who do His commandments (which is manifesting their faith in Him) will be able to enter in to His knowledge. More shall be given to them.

(7) For in the multitude of dreams and many words there are also divers vanities: but fear thou God.

He that will keep his mouth, keeps his life. But he that opens up wide his lips shall have destruction.

Pro 13:3-4 KJV
(3) He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction.

The soul of the sluggard (those who will be slack in doing His commandments) will have nothing. They will not have His knowledge as even what he thought he had will be removed from him.

Yet, the diligent will be made fat as they will be able to eat of the meat of the Word of Truth.

(4) The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.

A wise man will hear His voice …..and more knowledge shall be given (increase learning). A man of understanding will attain wise counsels. They will be able to understand the parables….the interpretation of them by His opening up of the Scriptures to their hearing ears (and closed mouths). They will be able to enter in to His knowledge as He shall reveal to them all of the mysteries of the kingdom via the interpretation of the Scriptures.

Pro 1:5-7 KJV
(5) A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:
(6) To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings.

The fear of the LORD is the BEGINNING of knowledge. We are to fear Him and keep His commandments.

But fools will despise what they hear. They will not keep their mouths shut and will shun doing His commandments. They will not enter into His knowledge but will be “without”…outside of it.

(7) The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

Many will seek to defend their church handwritings of church ordinances in the face of hearing the Spirit of Truth. They will speak multiple words against what they hear.

They will seek to defend their “own righteousness” as dictated by the keeping of their church teachings and commandments of men.

But as Saul/Paul, we are to lose those things for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus the Lord.

Paul did not go about defending his “own righteousness” which was of the law (for him). Instead, he did lose those things and was found of Him having faith…believing what He heard Christ saying in the revelation. He was not disobedient towards the heavenly Voice.

Likewise, we are to lose our own religious things and not go about seeking to defend our own righteousness which is by the church handwritings of ordinances. His thoughts and ways are higher than our own religious thoughts (of what we thought was biblically true) and ways.

Php 3:8-11 KJV
(8) Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,
(9) And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:
(10) That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;
(11) If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.

The church who is found having brotherly love (the meaning of “Philadelphia”) towards those messengers that are sent out by Him will hear His voice and will keep their mouths shut towards the hearing of the open mouth that preaches the Word of Truth.

They will hear His words of the Holy One spoken in the Spirit by His messenger and know that they are TRUE: “these things that He says is holy and He is true”.

That will be their thoughts written within the hearts of the church in Philadelphia when they will hear His interpretation of the Scriptures.

Rev 3:7-8 KJV
(7) And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth;

They will hear the open door of utterance before their hearing ears that no man can shut and will use “little strength” in their response. They will speak few words….being poor in “spirit” ….in their breath. We use our breath to speak words. They will keep His word that they will hear and will not deny His name….His authority…as they will have brotherly love as He commanded us to do.

(8) I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.

He shall sprinkle many with the Word of Truth….and “kings” shall shut their mouths at Him when they will hear His words. What they had not been told before they shall see….to discern. What they have not heard before they shall consider.

Isa 52:15 KJV
(15) So shall he sprinkle many nations; the kings shall shut their mouths at him: for that which had not been told them shall they see; and that which they had not heard shall they consider.

Let brotherly love continue. Do not forget to entertain strangers….be hospitable towards strangers…as some will be entertaining His messengers sent out by Him to speak His words.

Heb 13:1-2 KJV
(1) Let brotherly love continue.
(2) Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.

All that are in their “graves” will hear His voice as He comes to interpret the Scriptures in the heavenly knowledge of God.

We are currently “dead” in trespasses and sins in the “churches” of men who fight and war with each other over their respective “interpretations” and commandments of men as written in their church handwritings of ordinances (dogmas).

His interpretation is the “true sayings of God” in contrast to the “word of men” who preach their “private interpretations” of the Bible. Let God be true and every man a liar when it comes to hearing His interpretation of the Scriptures.

When we hear His revelation of the Word of Truth, we must not go about seeking to defend our own “righteousness” which is done by the keeping of our church handwritings of ordinances.

This then will be the time of our judgment depending on how we respond to the hearing of His voice.

Those who hear His Word and BELIEVE on Him will stand up to everlasting life. Believing is DOING His will towards the hearing of His voice. Believing is manifesting our faith outwardly by doing good towards the hearing of His voice. We shall come forth....either manifesting our faith with outward good works....or come forth with evil deeds and be judged. As He hears, He judges us in response to the hearing of His voice that will interpret the Scriptures in our hearing ears.

Joh 5:24-29 KJV
(24) Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
(25) Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.
(26) For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;
(27) And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.
(28) Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
(29) And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.

We must manifest our faith in Him by the “good works” that we shall do towards the hearing of His voice in the Spirit. We are to hear what the Spirit says to the churches….the called out…and show forth our faith in Him.

We are to respond to the hearing of His voice: “these things that He says” He says in the fullness of the Spirit of God (the 7 Spirits of God). He sends out His messengers (He has the 7 stars) to the churches…the called out.

Yet, many will deny His name….His authority…as they will not believe in what they hear His messengers say in the Spirit of Truth.

We will be judged by our “works”. We must manifest our faith outwardly towards those messengers sent out by Him to speak His words in the Spirit of Truth. Let brotherly love continue.

The “dead” church does not manifest their faith through their good works…but they are counseled to do so. The wrath of man does not WORK the righteousness of God.

Their works are found not complete ("perfect”) by what they do towards the hearing of His voice as spoken through His messengers sent out to speak to them by Him.

Rev 3:1-2 KJV
(1) And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead.

We are to be “watchful”…that is, to wake up…to doing His righteousness which manifests our faith.

(2) Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God.

Our good works done toward the hearing of His voice completes our faith . Our works are made compete before God

Jas 2:22 KJV
(22) Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?

But we are a “dead” church if we do not manifest our faith in our good works toward the hearing of His voice.

Jas 2:19-20 KJV
(19) Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.
(20) But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?

 

[orbiter]

Peace in Christ.

God gives us His wisdom bountifully…..but man must not “upbraid” what he hears. It is man who must not defame….belittle…what he hears in response to the hearing of His wisdom. If he does not defame it, it shall be given to him.

Jas 1:5-7 KJV
(5) If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

But those who do not have faith in what they hear shall waver and is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. The “wind”….the hearing of the Spirit…drives him to “foam” out his own shame by responding with evil towards what he hears the Spirit saying to him.

(6) But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.
(7) For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.

Those who will behave in such fashion against the hearing of His Word of Truth (as they are like raging waves of the sea as they speak out in their wrath of what they hear and “waver”) foaming out their own shame…will not be able to enter in to understand as they will be like wandering stars to whom the “blackness of darkness”….not understanding… is reserved for them. The wicked shall not understand.

Jud 1:13 KJV
(13) Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.

They will not receive His knowledge when they will hear it. They will speak evil of those things which they know not.

Jud 1:10 KJV
(10) But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves.

Those who will behave in ungodliness towards what they hear the Spirit (the “wind”) saying are like the chaff which the “wind” drives away. They shall not be able to stand in the judgment of them. They are driven to speak evil when they will hear the Spirit (the “wind”) speaking to them.

Psa 1:4-6 KJV
(4) The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.
(5) Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
(6) For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

Some will hear the revealed Word of God but will speak many words against it. The “fowls of the air”….WORDS that fly out of their mouths into the air where we hear…shall come and devour what was sown in by the “way side” as they will not let it grow within their hearts. It is immediately taken away from them as they will speak many words in their wrath of what they hear.

Mar 4:2-4 KJV
(2) And he taught them many things by parables, and said unto them in his doctrine,
(3) Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower to sow:
(4) And it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up.

When they hear the Word of Truth, Satan comes immediately and takes away the Word that was sown in their hearts. They become Satan’s “messengers” speaking his words through their mouths…letting sin rule over them. They become “devil’s advocates” in contention of what they hear.

They let their mouths be used to speak many evil words (the “fowls of the air”) against what they hear and so the Word never is able to take root within their hearts and so is removed. The fowls of the air come and devour it up.

Mar 4:15 KJV
(15) And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts.

Believe in the light that is dawning in the heart when we hear the voice of the Son.

If we are angry at what we hear, we are not to give place to the devil in our mouths so that we let sin rule over us by the speaking of evil words. We must be found overcoming….resisting the devil.

Do not give place for the devil by letting him use our mouths for evil speaking against the Word of Truth.

Eph 4:26-27 KJV
(26) Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:
(27) Neither give place to the devil.

In our wrath of what we hear, we will be tempted to speak out with evil words. But we must overcome. If we do well towards what we hear, we shall be accepted by Him.

If we do not well, sin lies at the “door” of our mouths. Sin wants to rule over our mouths…..giving place to the devil. Sin must not have dominion over us and so must overcome it.

Gen 4:6-7 KJV
(6) And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen?
(7) If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.

We must believe in the light while we have it. Don’t let the sun go down in our wrath of what we hear. We must overcome. Who shall believe the report? The light shall become darkness if we do not believe in what we hear as Jesus departs and did hide Himself from them. Don't let the sun go down on our wrath.

Joh 12:36-43 KJV
(36) While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light. These things spake Jesus, and departed, and did hide himself from them.
(37) But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him:
(38) That the saying of Esaias the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?

Those who will not believe in what they hear will be judged. Faith shall be taken away from them so that they CANNOT even believe.

(39) Therefore they could not believe, because that Esaias said again,

The wicked shall not be able to believe….nor will they be able to understand as the “eyes” of their understanding shall be “blinded”. Their heart shall be able to understand.

(40) He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.
(41) These things said Esaias, when he saw his glory, and spake of him.

Even though many will believe on Him, they will be fearful of what others in their churches (synagogue = gathering) will do to them if they confess Him (who speaks to them the Word of Truth) before others.

They will be fearful of being put out of their denominational churches….their gatherings for confessing the Lord and His word. "Pharisees" = separatists = church denominations of men.

(42) Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue:

For many, they will love the “praise” of men…that is, the GLORY OF MEN more than the glory of God.

(43) For they loved the praise (GLORY) of men more than the praise (GLORY) of God.

We are to OVERCOME so that we may enter in to know the mysteries of the kingdom.

Outside will be those who will behave in evil. In their judgment, Their tongues shall become a fire that shall not be quenched in their evil speaking of what they hear and of those who will receive it. Their own tongues shall bring torment upon them and will not understand.

Rev 21:7-8 KJV
(7) He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
(8) But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

“Brimstone” = divine. It is a righteous thing with God (brimstone) to recompense tribulation to them that trouble us with their evil speaking.

2Th 1:4-9 KJV
(4) So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye endure:
(5) Which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer:
(6) Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you;
(7) And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,

They show that they do not know God as they will not DO His commandments. They do not “obey”….that is, TO HEAR subordinately (to hear under) the good news as they will not believe in what they will hear.

(8) In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey (HEAR SUBORDINATELY) not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
(9) Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;

 

[orbiter]

Peace in Christ.

The preaching of the Scriptures as breathed by God (preached through the Spirit of God) is LIVING and powerful and sharper than any two-edged sword. The true Word of God is the “true sayings of God” vs. the sayings of men (the word of men).

Heb 4:12 KJV
(12) For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

The “true sayings of God” are mighty THROUGH GOD to the pulling down of strongholds...

2Co 10:4-6 KJV
(4) (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds)

…casting down man’s imaginations….his computations…of what he thought was biblically true. The true Word of God casts down every high thing (the church handwritings of church ordinances …dogmas) that exalts itself against the knowledge of God.

The weapons of our warfare bring into captivity every thought to the “obedience” …that is, to the HEARING UNDER of Christ.

We are to hear subordinately and not give heed any longer to fleshly man’s earthly understanding and preaching of the Scriptures.

We are to lose those things for the excellency of the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ who opens up the Scriptures to our hearing ears…..and we are to take heed on how we hear (to hear subordinately).

(5) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience (HEARING UNDER) of Christ;
(6) And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.

Those who will speak His words (the true sayings of God) are not like those who “corrupt”…that is, RETAIL, merchandise…the Word of God. They speak it as of “sincerity”…that is, in CLEARNESS….in purity of motive. In the sight of God they speak in Christ.

2Co 2:17 KJV
(17) For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ.

The good news (gospel) is hid to them because they handle the Word of God deceitfully for unjust gain. The “god of this world”….their belly…blinds the minds of those who do not really believe.

2Co 4:2-5 KJV
(2) But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.
(3) But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:
(4) In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

They preach only themselves and not Christ Jesus the Lord.

(5) For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake.

It has been “night” unto those who retail the Word of God. There is no understanding of the Scriptures. They do not have "vision" as they cannot understand the Scriptures which are "dark" unto them. They cannot understand the Prophets.

Mic 3:5-6 KJV
(5) Thus saith the LORD concerning the prophets that make my people err, that bite with their teeth, and cry, Peace; and he that putteth not into their mouths, they even prepare war against him.
(6) Therefore night shall be unto you, that ye shall not have a vision; and it shall be dark unto you, that ye shall not divine; and the sun shall go down over the prophets, and the day shall be dark over them.

They only preach things for money’s sake….in order to get their earthly needs met.

Mic 3:11 KJV
(11) The heads thereof judge for reward, and the priests thereof teach for hire, and the prophets thereof divine for money: yet will they lean upon the LORD, and say, Is not the LORD among us? none evil can come upon us.

Their “god” is their belly….preaching in order to meet their earthly needs (minding earthly things).

Php 3:18-19 KJV
(18) (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ:
(19) Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)

They retail the Word of God making merchandise of those who hear them. Why continue to feed those who are only feeding themselves and who are not feeding us with the Bread from Heaven (the true sayings of God)?

Why spend money on that which is not bread…the Bread from Heaven…which comes from the voice of the Lord as He opens up the Scriptures to our hearing ears?

We are to hear diligently unto Him and eat that which is good (the true Word of God) and let our soul delight in what we hear.

Isa 55:1-3 KJV
(1) Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.
(2) Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.

We are to subordinately hear….incline our ear…and come unto Him who speaks to us from Heaven the true sayings of God. Our souls shall live….that is, we shall hear and REJOICE in the hearing of His words.

(3) Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.

The “true sayings of God” that we are to partake of is the “marriage supper” of the Lamb. Happy are those who called unto it as they will confess that these are the “true sayings of God” that they hear.

Rev 19:6-9 KJV
(6) And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.
(7) Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.
(8) And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.
(9) And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.

We are to remember to do good when we hear the revelation (disclosure) of Jesus Christ who comes to give us the “true sayings of God”.

1Pe 1:13-15 KJV
(13) Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;

We are to be as “obedient”…that is, ATTENTIVELY HEARING…children when we hear His revelation (disclosure of the Word of Truth). We are not to be found behaving in envy, strife, wrath in response to the hearing of His Truth. We behaved in these things/lusts in our former “ignorance”…NOT KNOWING… of the Truth as we did not hear it before.

(14) As obedient (ATTENTIVE HEARING) children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:
(15) But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;

Happy are those who are found of Him remembering to do well….having our lights burning and the loins of our minds girded.

Luk 12:35-37 KJV
(35) Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning;
(36) And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately.

Happy are those servants whom the Lord finds “watching” (awake to righteousness) when He comes to open up the Scriptures (the revelation of Jesus Christ) to their ears. They will be able to sit down to meat…the meat of the Word of Truth. He shall give us His understanding.

(37) Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them.
