ANALYSIS:
1. "My Son, keep MY WORDS and store up my COMMANDS within you"
~ Proverbs 7 v. 1
What are God's words?
Are they strictly words written in the Bible or Q'oran or can they be revealed to those that keep a clean heart and a right spirit?)
What are God's Commands?
Are they encoded only in holy books and can they also be revealed?
2. "Above all else, GUARD your HEART, for it is the wellspring of LIFE"
~ Proverbs 4 v. 23
The HEART is not the dual-pump organ that pumps pumps blood around the body to get it re-oxygenated, but rather it is one's MIND or even SOUL, as even before one physical heart was formed, there was a HEART BEAT after conception and that is THE SOUL. It is one's subconsciousness, one's operating system and the latter needs to be guarded from presumed friends, lovers, religious zealots and other impostors.
3. "May my HEART be BLAMELESS toward your decrees that I may not be put to shame"
~ Psalms 119 v. 80
Without GOD CREATING in us a CLEAN HEART and RENEWING in us a RIGHT SPIRIT (as asserted in Psalms 51) one cannot have a BLAMELESS HEART to start with. The latter requires an understanding of God's DECREES and COMMANDS and their contextualized APPLICATIONS. There are many amazing theologians and pastors that still struggle with understanding the concept of a BLAMELESS HEART... Forgiving all, exhorting each other to sin less without judging. It is easier said than done! We are all sinners and we all fall short of God's grace, yet it is ONLY through grace (not our own holiness) that we can all be truly saved!
4. "For these COMMANDS are a lamp, this TEACHING is a light, and the CORRECTIONS of DISCIPLINE are the way to LIFE"
~ Proverbs 6 v. 23
Those that don't know or understand GOD'S COMMANDS are lost and have no STORED TOOLS that they can use to help them request the creation of a clean heart and the renewal of a right spirit ESPECIALLY DURING DIFFICULT TIMES.
5. "When you go through deep waters, I'll be with you... when you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not be drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you. "
~ Isaiah 43 v. 2
I USED to be MILITANT, IMPATIENT, INTOLERANT, but GOD has given me PATIENCE, TOLERANCE, JOY, FAITH, HUMILITY and PEACH that surpass ALL UNDERSTANDING.
When I went through deep waters, God was with me... when I went through rivers of difficulty, I did not drown. When I walked through the fire of oppression, I did not get burned up; and the flames did not consume me.
God can do the same for you... many are SO LOST out there... many have forgotten that ONLY GOD can walk them through the FIRE OF OPPRESSION... and only GOD can prevent such fires from consuming them! More than ever before, PEOPLE NEED GOD!
Thank you Mother... I miss and love you!
