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.

PRELUDE: It is my desire to bring forward this information. Please note that the Commentary offered are quotes by Matthew Henry (1662-1714) Book of Commentary.

The Observations offered are from Robert (1945 – current), offering his commentary as Yeshua’s Watchman (Ezekiel 33:9).

SPIRITUAL FOUNDATION!

Romans 8:7 KJV
Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.

Romans 8:14
[14]For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

COMMENTARY!

Believers may be chastened of the Lord but will not be condemned with the world. By their union with Christ through faith, they are thus secured.

What is the principle of their walk; the flesh or the Spirit, the old or the new nature, corruption or grace? For which of these do we make provision, by which are we governed? The unrenewed will is unable to keep any commandment fully.

The law, besides outward duties, requires inward obedience. God showed abhorrence of sin by the sufferings of his Son in the flesh, that the believer’s person might be pardoned and justified. Thus, satisfaction was made to divine justice, and the way of salvation opened for the sinner. By the Spirit the law of love is written upon the heart, and though the righteousness of the law is not fulfilled by us, yet, blessed be God, it is fulfilled in us; there is that in all true believers, which answers the intention of the law.

OBSERVATION!

The favour of God, the welfare of the soul, the concerns of eternity, are the things of the Spirit, which those that are after the Spirit do mind. Which way do our thoughts move with most pleasure? Which way go our plans and contrivances?

Are we most wise for the world or for our souls? Those that live in pleasure are dead, 1 Timothy 5:6. A sanctified soul is a living soul; and that life is peace. The carnal mind is not only an enemy to God but enmity itself. The carnal man may, by the power of Divine grace, be made subject to the law of God, but the carnal mind never can; that must be broken and driven out.

We may know our real state and character by inquiring whether we have the Spirit of God and Christ, or not, Ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit.

Having the Spirit of Christ, means having a turn of mind in some degree like the mind that was in Christ Jesus, and is to be shown by a life and conversation suitable to his precepts and example.

Romans 8:5
[5]For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.

Now, wait a minute here. Are you saying that concerning myself with providing for my family is off limits and being worried about our home and all of our possessions is having a carnal mind. Now you’ve gone too far with this carnal and spiritual mind talk. It is my duty as the head of this family to produce and provide.

You are absolutely right. However, there is a provision that goes with that thought.

The things of the world may be desired and possessed for the uses and purposes which God intended, and they are to be used by his grace, and to his glory; but believers must not seek or value them for those purposes to which sin abuses them.

COMMENTARY!

If it be our care to act under the guidance and power of the blessed Spirit, though we may not be freed from the stirrings and oppositions of the corrupt nature which remains in us, it shall not have dominion over us. Believers are engaged in a conflict in which they earnestly desire that grace may obtain full and speedy victory.

And those who desire thus to give themselves up to be led by the Holy Spirit are not under the law as a covenant of works, nor exposed to its awful curse.

OBSERVATION!

Your hatred of sin and desires after holiness show that you have a part in the salvation of the gospel. The works of the flesh are many and manifest. And these sins will shut men out of heaven. Yet what numbers, calling themselves Christians, live in these, and say they hope for heaven!

Stop using your carnal thinking and remove it from  your life and replace it with the Holy Spirit’s teachings and gain the fullness of salvation on the spiritual level. Yeshua is waiting for you.

Philippians 3:10 KJV
That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;

This knowledge can only be had on a spiritual level discerned by those seeking spiritual knowledge and using the gift of discernment to be found by the renewed mind!

Philippians 3:14 KJV
I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

Our journey through the valley of death must be spiritual as a pilgrim totally dependent on Yeshua for all thing’s knowing, those things of the world may be desired and possessed for the uses and purposes which God intended, and they are to be used by his grace, and to his glory; but believers must not seek or value them for those purposes to which sin abuses them.

Philippians 3:19 KJV
Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.

We are shown the truth in Ezekiel 33:9 that having been shown the errors of our ways it is our responsibility to make a choice which path we will follow having this knowledge the consequences of our choice belongs to us.

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