ROBERT’S OPEN DECLARATION!”
My position in presenting these postings is done not as a pastor, minister, or teacher of God’s words. They are brought forward as messages to be discerned by those receiving them and choosing personally how to react. Scriptural foundation for their delivery Ezekiel 33:9
Nevertheless, if thou warn the wicked of his way to turn from it; if he do not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.
It is with great love for all given to me by Yeshua that you are receiving them. Luke 10:16
[16]He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you despiseth me; and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me.  And all of God’s children say Amen and Amen

SPIRITUAL FOUNDATION!

Deuteronomy 9:6 KJV
Understand therefore, that the Lord thy God giveth thee not this good land to possess it for thy righteousness; for thou art a stiffnecked people.

COMMENTARY!

Moses represents the strength of the enemies they were now to encounter. This was to drive them to God, and engage their hope in him. He assures them of victory, by the presence of God with them. He cautions them not to have the least thought of their own righteousness, as if that procured this favour at God’s hand. In Christ we have both righteousness and strength; in Him we must glory, not in ourselves, nor in any sufficiency of our own. It is for the wickedness of these nations that God drives them out. All whom God rejects, are rejected for their own wickedness; but none whom he accepts are accepted for their own righteousness. Thus boasting is for ever done away: see Ephesians 2:9,11,12.

The Ecclesia of today would be wise to ponder this knowledge and begin searching and assessing their walks.  When we abide as his children, hell and death have no place in our lives. I ponder how many understand what to abide in Yahewa’s blessings means, in order to claim and reap the payment Yeshua made available to us? “Oh, brother’s and sister’s, my soul is saddened, so many are unaware of the path their journey is leading them on and their ultimate destination.

The Israelites might have no pretense to think that God brought them to Canaan for their righteousness, Moses shows what a miracle of mercy it was, that they had not been destroyed in the wilderness. It is good for us to often remember  to a.ssess ourselves, with sorrow and shame, of our former sins; so we may see how much we are indebted to free grace, and may humbly own, that, we never merited anything but wrath and the curse at God’s hand. For so strong is our affinity to pride, that it will creep in under one pretense or another.

We are ready to fancy that our righteousness has got for us the special favour of the Lord, though in reality, our wickedness is more plain than our weakness. But when the secret history of every man’s life shall be brought forth at the day of judgment, all the world will be proved guilty before God.

At present, One pleads for us before the mercy-seat, who not only fasted, but died upon the cross for our sins; through whom we may approach, though self-condemned sinners, and beseech for undeserved mercy and for eternal life, as the gift of God in Him.

Let us refer all the victory, all the glory, and all the praise, to Him who alone bringeth salvation. Have no pretence to think that God brought them to Canaan for their righteousness, Moses shows what a miracle of mercy it was, that they had not been destroyed in the wilderness. It is good for us often to remember to assess ourselves, with sorrow and shame, our former sins; that we may see how much we are indebted to freedom thtough grace, and may humbly own that we never merited anything but wrath and the curse at God’s hand.

For so strong is our propensity to pride, that it will creep in under one pretence or another. We are ready to fancy that our righteousness has got for us the special favour of the Lord, though in reality, our wickedness is more plain than our weakness. But when the secret history of every man’s life shall be brought forth at the day of judgment, all the world will be proved guilty before God.
