DAILY BREAD OF LIFE

(KJV.)  ISAIAH 29:13-15

(13)  Wherefore the Lord said,  Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men:
(14)  Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous work among this people, even a marvellous work and a wonder:  for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid.
(15)  Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the LORD, and their works are in the dark, and they say,  Who seeth us?  and who knoweth us?

HAVE THE RIGHT TOUCH!

Brethren, Prophet Isaiah spoke the words of our Father to his children; saying,  (i)  Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me,  that is to say, believers pray and sing songs of praises to our Father, but not from their hearts;  therefore, when we do such things, let us do them wholeheartedly, and not habitually, as daily rituals, but without any spiritual or emotional connections to our Father through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior;  when we pray, we may or may not feel our Father's presence; while other times, we feel the resurrection power of the Holy Spirit's presence in and around our souls;  no matter how we feel on our knees before him, our Father, Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior is always present with humanity, but, we have to have one one one relationship with him, set a time to commune with him everyday, whether in the mornings or evening, be faithful to times and hours set asides for him; he will definitely show up; for he yearns to have relationship with his children and to be present anytime we call upon him:  he is more closer to us than we can imagine; but we have to have the right touch into his throne of grace; everyone has their own ways to approach him, it does matter, so long as we humble ourselves and seek his face; he will definitely hear our prayers in Jesus Holy Name.  Amen!  (ii)   but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men:  this is a true statement, many times, we join congregations to worship our Father, sing songs of praises, hear sermons; but right after worship services, we find it difficult to recall what the preaching was all about;  because, maybe we were not paying attentions to words of our Father, or our hearts were not in tune with the Holy Spirit to receive anything from him; or because our carnal minds have taken control of our hearts, as a result, we were not able to spiritually assimilate his words, we go home emptiness of his words, without spirits of reverence of our Father; however, at times, we go home with spiritual emptiness, because the truth and knowledge of his words was not spoken to touch hearts of believers. but what believers heard from pulpits are philosophical and theologically matters:  so, regardless of how we worship our Father, let us search the scriptures, know truthfulness of matters ourselves and have one on one relationships with him through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior.

Prophet Isaiah said;  (iii)  Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous work among this people, even a marvellous work and a wonder: our Father performs miracles, signs and wonders at all times; he speaks his words and performs actions through his words;  for example, when Balaam rose up in the morning and went with princes of Moab to curse his children, our Father's anger was kindled because he went, and the angel of the Lord stood in the way as an adversary against him; in a nutshell, it is written, "And the ass said unto Balaam,  Am not I thine ass, upon which thou hast ridden ever since I was thine unto this day?  was I ever wont to do so unto thee?  And Balaam said, Nay.";  (Numbers chapter 22);  what happened in this phenomenon?;  the ass spoke, not only that, but our Father opened up Balaam's eyes and he saw the angel of the LORD standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand, and he bowed down his head, and fell flat on his face, while the angel of the LORD spoke with him:  also, we read about his miracles, when he parted the Red Sea, to allow children of Israel to walk through the Red Sea on dry ground to safety, away from Pharaoh and his army; (Exodus 14);  therefore, if we are his children, let us not fear persecutors, our Father deals with them in his own ways; etc... this are miracles, signs and wonders of our Father, let us not doubt what he can do to our haters, he is capable to do all things, change negative things around for the sake of his beloved children;  (iv)  for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid. therefore, regardless of our human mentalities, personal characteristics that enable us to know and apply spiritual truths, and to distinguish wise from unwise choices;  when we sleep in death, our wisdom, thought processes perish with the wind, that aspect of our being vanishes forever;  however, the wisdom our Father, is unsearchable, and is forever and evermore.

Therefore, Prophet Isaiah said;  "Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the LORD, and their works are in the dark, and they say,  Who seeth us?  and who knoweth us?"; beware! there is nothing hidden from our Father!;  Jesus said;  "For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad." (Luke 8:17): therefore, let us be careful whom we receive counsels from in this world of darkness, make sure that the enemy is not using his vessels of evil to derail our pathways in life;  the only one that can truly help humanity is our Father through his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior;  therefore,  let us pray our troubles and heart desires unto him through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, Provider, Protector, Victory and Eternity; let us put our trust in him, fear and worship our Father alone, and not follow multitudes to do evil, for our Father, and his Son Jesus Christ sees, knows all things both physically and spiritually in his sovereignty; we may fool the entire world, but we cannot fool him; he created and knows all things of this world, and without him we cannot do nothing by ourselves.

CONCLUSION:

Dearly beloved, we may asked ourselves, what is the point of the lesson of today?;  the point is, let us reverence, worship our Father with pureness of hearts, souls, and bodies; search the scriptures for truthfulness of his words; seek his face, have one on one relationship with him and experience his miracles, signs and wonders; be careful not to join hands directly or indirectly with evil doers, for it is written in the book of 1 Peter 3:12: saying, "For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers:  but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil."; beware Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior is watching over the souls of his believers forever and evermore.  Beware!  Jesus is coming back again soon!  Amen and Amen!
