Friday, June 22, 2001
PHI 4:5 “Let your supergrace mental attitude be known to all men. The Lord is near.”
JER 29:13 “And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.”
HEB 11:6 “And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him.”
PRO 28:5 “Evil men do not understand justice, But those who seek the Lord understand all things.”
Once God is allowed to touch those who diligently seek Him, He gives those believers an instinct to be united with Him as never before.
Turn to REV 2:1-4
2PE 2:22 “It has happened to them according to the true proverb, A dog returns to its own vomit, and, A sow, after washing, returns to wallowing in the mire.”
To instinctively know that the dryness can be from the Lord and continue to follow Him, even in the dry places.
PHI 4:5 “Let your supergrace mental attitude be known to all men. The Lord is near.”
PHI 4:5 “Let your forbearance be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand.” ASV
PHI 4:5 “Let everyone see that you are unselfish and considerate in all you do.” TLB PHI 4:5 “Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near.” NIV
The type of individual in this passage has an extraordinary relationship with divine providence.
Turn to 1CO 2:14
PSA 19:12 “Who can understand his errors? Acquit me of hidden faults.”
The believer who has an intimacy and the nearness of the Lord, has capacity without limitations.
