The Lord has been taking me through a season of obedience training....I guess that would be the best way to put it. At least that is how I am feeling about it. I guess you could say it is a sort of officer's training camp. I have already been through boot camp; when I enlisted ( gave my heart to the Lord about 36 years ago) Now I have been promoted and I am being sent to officer's training. Boot camp ALL over...Officer Style!...I keep getting this... sense of Déjà vu...as if I have already been through this and then that's when the Lord let's me know thing's are just a "little different" this time around.
And they truly are...It's all about obedience...in the small and the big things.
Obedience I have learned and now am being tested on....is the TRUE measuring stick of our FAITH and TRUST in our Lord.
Yes'em...If we can learn to be "obedient" in ALL things that the Lord has set before us...in HIS WORD....great and small...(and here is the key)...and with a peace that passes understanding, not having to work at it, being it second nature...we will glide through this life like a hot knife through cheese cake.
I wanted to share this word that the Lord shared with me...I thought it was a word that many would benefit from...I also posted the scripture from Deuteronomy 28:1-14 where the Lord speaks directly about the blessings that will come from being obedient to his law.
It is my prayer that all who look upon these words are blessed!
Shalom in Yeshua HaMashiach
Obedience
In this season, obedience is everything for you. You need to heed my voice.
Listen and obey. Others may not understand ~ that’s okay ~ they may tell you otherwise ~ as what I say for you to do ~ but you must learn to obey my voice.
Do not be moved by your emotions. Obedience is far better than sacrifice.
Where I am taking you, you will need to be able to hear my voice and obey it without hesitation or wavering.
This is a season of the spirit man.
A season to see with your spirit eyes and to hear with your spirit ears ~ a season to walk in the spirit.
Remember ~ the power of my Holy Spirit abides in you to my glory ~ the very power that rose me up from the grave and took me to my Father’s side in Heaven.
Obedience, sheer, obedience.
Deuteronomy 28
Blessings for Obedience
1 If you fully obey the LORD your God and carefully follow all his commands I give you today, the LORD your God will set you high above all the nations on earth. 2 All these blessings will come on you and accompany you if you obey the LORD your God:
3 You will be blessed in the city and blessed in the country.
4 The fruit of your womb will be blessed, and the crops of your land and the young of your livestock—the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks.
5 Your basket and your kneading trough will be blessed.
6 You will be blessed when you come in and blessed when you go out.
7 The LORD will grant that the enemies who rise up against you will be defeated before you. They will come at you from one direction but flee from you in seven.
8 The LORD will send a blessing on your barns and on everything you put your hand to. The LORD your God will bless you in the land he is giving you.
9 The LORD will establish you as his holy people, as he promised you on oath, if you keep the commands of the LORD your God and walk in obedience to him. 10 Then all the peoples on earth will see that you are called by the name of the LORD, and they will fear you. 11 The LORD will grant you abundant prosperity—in the fruit of your womb, the young of your livestock and the crops of your ground—in the land he swore to your ancestors to give you.
12 The LORD will open the heavens, the storehouse of his bounty, to send rain on your land in season and to bless all the work of your hands. You will lend to many nations but will borrow from none. 13 The LORD will make you the head, not the tail. If you pay attention to the commands of the LORD your God that I give you this day and carefully follow them, you will always be at the top, never at the bottom. 14 Do not turn aside from any of the commands I give you today, to the right or to the left, following other gods and serving them.
