Working with the Scripture ...........
PROVERBS 9:32-36
32) AND NOW, LISTEN TO ME, YOU CHILDREN, FOR BLESSED ARE THEY WHO GUARD MY WAYS.
33) "LISTEN TO DISCIPLINE AND BECOME WISE, AND DO NOT REFUSE IT.
34) "BLESSED IS THE MAN WHO LISTENS TO ME, WATCHING DAILY AT MY GATES, WAITING AT THE POSTS OF MY DOORS.
35) "FOR WHOEVER FINDS ME SHALL FIND LIFE, AND OBTAIN FAVOUR FROM YAHUAH,
36) "BUT HE WHO SINS AGAINST ME INJURES HIMSELF; ALL WHO HATE ME LOVE DEATH.
We must not forget that Yahuah has "SANCTIONS" upon whom He chooses to bestow His love and “FAVOUR." Yes He loves all of mankind but only those who want to be obedient to His will, get to be deserving of His favour. Most Scripture is about our behaviour - TURAH means instruction and we are instructed to walk our lives in His ways (not our own).
Yahusha gives us His Ruach (our own personal taser) so that we know His mind about all our endeavours. If we do or say things that are worldly behaviours we can expect to be "zapped." This is one of the sanctions if you read the Scriptures above, because it says in "33) DO NOT REFUSE IT."
We need to be eagerly listening, watching and waiting at His gates to be blessed, and ready in obedience as He takes our lives into His service daily. We need to surrender our lives just as Yahusha did, then we will find "life and favour" from Yahusha. The sanctions are for our own help and good. Obviously if we are not willing to surrender all, this shows our status.
A GOOD GUIDE IS NOT TO SAY OR DO ANYTHING HURTFUL TO THOSE AROUND US. People notice this self-control and try to mimic your behaviour, however when they realise they can't master themselves; you may have an opportunity to present the Ruach which gives power over evil. Be patient and you will see amazing things happen. But if we do not want to walk in His ways, there will be no favour for us. All we will do is injure ourselves.
Take some time to contemplate these Scriptures from the wisest man ever to live.
