SPIRITUAL FOUNDATION

Acts 19:39 KJV
But if ye enquire any thing concerning other matters, it shall be determined in a lawful assembly.

OUR PRAYER!

Heavenly Father, I come before you in humility thanking you for the words you have inspired me to share with your children. I ask Father you rain discernment unto all so they may know understand and share what they have gleaned from your warning. I pray you will fill their spirit with determination and fervor to stand against whatever evil presents itself. I further pray Father you will send the Holy Spirit to nurture and strengthen their minds that it might reflect your light into this dark world as a Beacon. Through the discernment bring knowledge for sharing as those who are drawn to their light may come to you through that experience and example. I pray, this Father in your name and in the name of Yeshua and all of God’s children say Amen and Amen.

COMMENTARY!

Those who are thus careful to distinguish themselves from the servants of Christ now and are afraid of being taken for them, shall have their doom accordingly in the great day.

One, having authority, at length stilled the noise. It is a very good rule at all times, both in private and public affairs, not to be hasty and rash in our motions, but to take time to consider; and always to keep our passions under check. We ought to be quiet, and to do nothing rashly; to do nothing in haste, of which we may repent at leisure.

The regular methods of the law ought always to stop popular tumults, and well-governed nations will do so. Most people stand in awe of men’s judgments more than of the judgement of God. How well it was if we would thus quiet our disorderly appetites and passions, by considering the account we must shortly give to the Judge of heaven and earth!

And see how the overruling providence of God keeps the public peace, by an unaccountable power over the spirits of men. Thus, the world is kept in some order, and men are held back from devouring each other. We can scarcely look around but we see men act like Demetrius and the workmen. It is as safe to contend with wild beasts as with men enraged by party zeal and disappointed covetousness, who think that all arguments are answered, when they have shown that they grow rich by the practices which are opposed.

Whatever side in religious disputes, or whatever name this spirit assumes, it is worldly and should be discountenanced by all who regard truth and piety. And let us not be dismayed; the Lord on high is mightier than the noise of many waters; he can still the rage of the people.

Robert a humble obedient servant to Yeshua and his Father in heaven Yahewa. And all of God’s children say Amen and Amen.
