I
recently sent you all an article that had to with
being guarded by Jahuwah when we keep our mind
stayed on Him. Isaiah 26:3-4 in the King James
version reads:
Thou
wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is
stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. Trust
ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH
is everlasting strength:
I
wanted to understand more fully exactly what this
means in order that the people I tell about it
and myself can better understand both what is
required of us to obtain the ·peace·
referenced and what is promised when we meet the
conditions. I looked up every word and incorporated
the meanings of the words and here is what I arrived
at after turning this into a prayer:
I
thank you Father that You adhere to or
abide by your covenant with me and keep me in
perfect and constant completeness, peace, safety,
health, prosperity, tranquillity, and contentment
since my mental images are continually on You,
because I pledge or obligate myself to You,
I lean on You; I believe on You and Your abilities.
I trust You forever; for Jah Jahuwah is the
edge of the sword unchanged over time.
Here
are some self examination test questions designed
to increase your understanding and help you obtain
the promises of Jahuwah's Covenant that include
perfect and constant completeness, peace, safety,
health, prosperity, tranquility, and contentment.·
1. Do
you feel that the Father is observing His Covenant
with you?
2. Are
you enjoying ·perfect and constant completeness,
peace, safety, health, prosperity, tranquility,
and contentment?·
3. Are
your mental images continually on Jahuwah?
4. Have
you pledged or obligated yourself to Jahuwah?
5. The
word ·lean· means to rely upon
for assistance or support. Do you really (don·t
let your heart deceive you now) rely upon Jahuwah
for assistance or support?
6. Do
you really (don·t let your heart deceive
you now) believe on Jahuwah and His abilities?
7. Do
you really (don·t let your heart deceive
you now) believe that Jahuwah remains unchanged
over time?
One
day I was reading Jeremiah 17:9 which says in
my own version, ·The mind, knowledge, thinking,
reflection, and memory is deceitful above all
things in a manner that is working or spreading
in a hidden and injurious way, and it is exceedingly
directed away from what is right or good; perverted;
obstinately persisting in an error or fault; wrongly
self-willed or stubborn and corrupt and severely,
mortally sick! Who can find this out and discern
it?· The day I read this for the umpteenth
time the Father spoke to me regarding this Scripture,
He said, ·It tells you that you·re
doing all right.·
It
really doesn·t matter what we think about
how we are doing. This is especially true when
our own hearts deceive us telling us that we are
doing all right. What really matters is what the
Father thinks about our hearts/minds. What we
are experiencing in our lives is a true reflection
of what is going on in our minds; remember, Jahuwah
the Father is the One who controls everything.
If
we are not enjoying ·perfect and constant
completeness, peace, safety, health, prosperity,
tranquility, and contentment;· Jahuwah·s
kind of life that only He can give and maintain,
then, there is only one conclusion that can be
deduced, Jahuwah has not seen us:
1. Pledge
or obligate ourselves to Him. Remember, in Psalms
119:106 David said, ·I have sworn [an
oath] and have confirmed it, that I will keep
Your righteous ordinances [hearing, receiving,
loving, and obeying them].· My buddy
Robert has a whole revelation on the concept
that ·sworn· here means to ·seven
oneself.· Since I can·t remember
the whole teaching, suffice it to say that David
meant business; he obligated himself. When Jahuwah
sees in our minds that we mean business He will
adhere to or abide by His Covenant. That is
good news for us!
2. Lean
on Him. I see this every day. People take a
Babylonian job that both breaks all kinds of
Jahuwah·s laws, statutes and judgments;
AND causes them to personally break Jahuwah·s
laws statutes and judgments and then the heart/mind
that is referred to in Jeremiah 17:9 kicks in
and tries to justify not leaning on Jahuwah.
In John 6:27 we are commanded, ·Stop
toiling and doing and producing for the food
that perishes and decomposes [in the using]
(for those of you that are a little more dense,
he is talking about your secular/Babylonian
job), but strive and work and produce rather
for the [lasting] food which endures [continually]
unto life eternal; the Son of Man will give
(furnish) you that·· In John 4:35-37
Jahushuwah says, ·Do you not say, It
is still four months until harvest time comes?
Look! I tell you, raise your eyes and observe
the fields and see how they are already white
for harvesting. Already the reaper is getting
his wages·· All I saw were these
two Scriptures and realized, if I work in Jahuwah·s
harvest he will pay me! That was more than
15 years ago and this revelation has proven
true; Jahuwah has seen to it that I am and have
been paid for my labors in His harvest way better
than I ever was when I labored in Babylon. If
we refuse to lean on Jahuwah with respect to
our sustenance, choosing instead to lean on
a Babylonian job, why are we any better than
the wicked, lazy and idle servant in Matthew
25:24-26 who accused Jahushuwah of being a harsh
and hard man, reaping what he did not sow (a
Torah violation), and gathering where he had
not winnowed (another Torah violation)? Only
in the case of a modern day man or woman laboring
in a Babylonian job, their accusation would
be, ·I had to work in the Babylonian
job because I was afraid Jahuwah would not pay
me if I worked in His harvest!· In
Deuteronomy 24:14-15 Jahuwah commands, ·You
shall not oppress or extort from a hired servant
who is poor and needy, whether he is of your
brethren or of your strangers and sojourners
who are in your land inside your towns. You
shall give him his hire on the day he earns
it before the sun goes down, for he is poor,
and sets his heart upon it; lest he cry against
you to Jahuwah, and it be sin to you.·
Hey! Babylonian workers! Yes, you; the ones
who say that Jahuwah the Mighty Creator is your
King; does Jahuwah violate His own laws?? In
Matthew 20:1 Jahushuwah starts out the story/parable
by saying, ·For the kingdom of heaven
is like the owner of an estate who went out
in the morning along with the dawn to hire workmen
for his vineyard.· Most of you know that
the owner of the estate hired three different
courses of laborers throughout the day and in
verse 8 is it recounted, ·When evening
came, the owner of the vineyard said to his
manager, Call the workmen and pay them their
wages,·· In Jahuwah·s Kingdom
every day is payday! Yes, even the Sabbath (rest
and recharge being the payment). I have been
leaning on Jahuwah for my sustenance like I
am describing for more than 15 years and I have
a stack of testimonies about how Jahuwah has
seen to it that I be paid for my labors. You
can also start compiling those testimonies when
you ·lean· on Him and trust Jahuwah
to pay you. Because of Jahuwah·s great
promises, there has never been any need to work
at a Babylonian job, or, to be self-employed
either for that matter.
3. Believe
on Him and His abilities;
4. Trust
Him;
5. Recognize
and understand that He is the edge of the sword;
6. Recognize
and understand that He remains unchanged over
time. That means that Jahuwah was paying His
laborers daily when Deuteronomy 24 was written;
He was paying them daily when Matthew 20 was
recorded; and, since He remains unchanged over
time, He is still paying laborers that enter
His harvest daily today.
7. With
our mental images continually on Him. This is
a big one! I am standing at the sink doing dishes
and a secular song is playing in my head on
a cycle; over·and over·and over.
I realize, you know what, that secular song
is not going to cause the Father to adhere to
or abide by His covenant with me; it is not
going to keep me in perfect and constant completeness,
peace, safety, health, prosperity, tranquility,
and contentment. I like to watch Boston Legal
and Gray·s Anatomy. I start thinking
along the lines of Isaiah 26 and I realize you
know what; both of those programs cause my mental
images to be consumed with something other than
Jahuwah for most of an hour and sometimes two!
I am a guy that wants to lead the pack. I want
to push the envelope. I want to enjoy blessing
resulting from my obedience that few have ever
seen. I want to point out that the word continually
means not interrupted; steady. If I watch Boston
Legal and Gray·s Anatomy two hours a
week and allow my attention to be focused on
those shows without disciplining myself to keep
my mental images uninterrupted and steadily
on Jahuwah I will partially disqualify myself
from even writing this email; AND, partially
disqualify myself from enjoying the fullness
of the promise that the Father will adhere to
or abide by His covenant with me and keep me
in perfect and constant completeness, peace,
safety, health, prosperity, tranquility, and
contentment. I say partially because I have
Scriptural proof that the Father is fair and
that He metes out adherence to His covenant
and completeness, peace, safety, health, prosperity,
tranquility, and contentment based upon how
well we perform; 1 John 2:5 reflects this gradation,
·In practice, the more a man learns to
obey Jahuwah's laws the more truly and fully
does he express his love for him.· So,
if the Father, who sees in secret, sees me either
cut those two programs out, or, sees me watch
those programs while keeping my mental images
continually on Him, then, I will see the promise
more completely fulfilled in my life. I am learning
more how to obey Jahuwah·s laws. People
that do not understand and implement what I
am setting forth here will never have the joyful
experience of seeing Jahuwah adhere to His covenant
with respect to themselves, nor will they enjoy
completeness, peace, safety, health, prosperity,
tranquility, and contentment.
Hopefully,
if you have read this far you are asking, how
do I keep my ·mental images· steadily
and without interruption on Jahuwah? I have the
answer. Jahuwah·s Word creates ·mental
images· of Him in our mind when we speak
it. When I catch the secular song playing in my
head, to drive those thoughts out and replace
them with the right mental images I simply speak
Jahuwah·s Word. If I feel that I can watch
Boston Legal and Gray·s Anatomy again,
I will make it a point to speak Jahuwah·s
Word while I am watching. I will mute the commercials
and speak Jah·s Word during the commercials.
At www.legalbears.com, scroll down to Bear·s
Prayers. I explain in the article there why we
should speak the Word out loud and it is there
that you can download my ·prayers·
which is really nothing more than the Scriptures
that I have converted into first person, present
tense, possessive prayers. I recommend that you
print this out, put them in a stack and read them
out loud to yourself three times a day just like
Daniel did. If you get in the habit of doing this
it will not be long and you will have some great
promises memorized that you can speak ·while
you are in the way· as Scripture says,
and while you are doing dishes etc. When you do
this you will be well on your way to seeing Jahuwah
adhere to His covenant and provide you with completeness,
peace, safety, health, prosperity, tranquility,
and contentment.
There
is a commercial on TV that the punch line is,
·What·s in your wallet?·
The punch line for this email is·what·s
in your mental images? Bear
