Yahusha's Word is Abstractly Discerned
UNDERSTANDING SCRIPTURE
So you've just realised that Yahusha is Alahim and now you want to get to know Him - what He requires, how He feels about certain behaviours, what went down with the history of His people? Yes it's all there in the Scripture, but it's a huge book and there's a few simple tools you should know before tackling it, so you can get all the juicy life out of every page. Even if you've read it before while in religion, you're about to experience something completely different now that you have the inspiration of Yahusha's Spirit ...... it ain't just ink on a page!
CONTEXT
Yahusha wants us all to be (and live) 'in context' with His Scripture, looking at things the way He sees them. He said “take My yoke upon you for My burden is light”. He doesn't strain our minds with confusion, but lines everything up in order for us, with ease.
CONTEXT: the parts of a written or spoken statement that precede or follow a specific word or passage, usually influencing its meaning or effect.
So let's see how to correctly discern Yahusha's Living Word in a fool proof-way, which is such an exciting step with lots of variation.
CHERRY-PICKING
We must never cherry-pick a verse and hold it up to support a point, but instead, always CHECK THE CORRECT CONTEXT of the Scriptures as we read. We do this by looking at the surrounding chapters (before and after) of whatever verse we've been direct to. Then ask yourself :
* Who is the verse is talking to (us or them)?
* What was the purpose of the Instruction given?
* Is it cultural or behavioural, temporary or for all generations?
* Is this how the verse should be behaved today in the 21st Century?
ABSTRACT
The most encouraging thing for us to know is that we need no man or woman to show us how to live or interpret Scripture, for Yahusha will teach us by His Spirit through His Word. Yes the same Spirit of life that inspired many people to write the 66 Books of Scripture (plus others) is the same being Who breathes life into us as we abstractly discern for ourselves, what we are reading. We do this by understanding that TO GET THE FRESH UNDERSTANDING FROM YAHUSHA WE OFTEN HAVE TO `READ BETWEEN THE LINES' OF THE INK ON THE PAGE. Does this mean we just make stuff up with no accountability? Of course not! Yahusha's voice is so important to us and if we consciously listen to Him while we're reading, he will REVEAL BIZARRE, ABSTRACT TRUTHS to us. He does this all day long if we're listening. he doesn't speak to us in chapter and verse, or require us to memorise chunks of Scripture to communicate with Him. He's close and real and intimate, meeting us right where we are to love us.
2 EASY STEPS
Anyone immersed in Yahusha's Name can unlock the truths in the Scriptures for themselves and break them down into simple daily behaviours by following The Behaviour Revolution's 2-Easy-Steps for Studying:
If you are feeling something, or stuck in a situation, a worry or problem, or maybe you just come across something in Scripture (or life) that you don't really understand - try and BREAK IT DOWN INTO ONE WORD (Yahusha will usually give you the word, so listen to him). Then look up that word :
1. GET THE HEBREW UNDERSTANDING
All Scripture was spoken and written in Hebrew (and at one point all the earth spoke this language too). It is the inspired language, so looking up your word in a Hebrew Lexicon will really show you Yahusha's mind on what it means.
2. GET THE SCRIPTURAL UNDERSTANDING
Yahuah's Word is divinely inspired also, so once we have our chosen word looked up in the Hebrew Lexicon, it's time to find out what Scripture says about it ... but it's a big book - so where do we look to find our topic? Just ask Google!! Do a search and lots of Scripture references will come up for you to look at. Most of the verses on the internet will be from bad translations with the wrong names in them, but you can still use the references to look the verses up in the BYNV or any other Yahusha-inspired Scripture translation.
THROUGH YOUR HEBREW & SCRIPTURAL UNDERSTANDING, YAHUSHA WILL GIVE YOU THE ANSWER TO YOUR PREDICAMENT AND ABSTRACT DISCERNMENT OF THE WORD YOU LOOKED UP .
IT WILL ALWAYS BE ABOUT BEHAVIOUR
(that is why The 3 Rules are so helpful)
THIS SYSTEM LIBERATES YAHUSHA'S PEOPLE AWAY FROM ALL THE CARPET-BAGGING TEACHERS, PREACHERS, PASTORS AND RABBIS WITH THEIR INTELLECTUALISED KNOWLEDGE, ALLOWING HIS SHEEP TO HEAR HIS VOICE AND BE PERSONALLY LED AND TRAINED BY THEIR BRIDEGROOM !
HERE'S A BIG SECRET THAT YAHUSHA HAS GIVEN US TODAY IN THE 21st CENTURY AND IT'S ACTUALLY THE KEY TO UNDERSTANDING ALL SCRIPTURE - THE TEMPLE IS BEING BUILT ANEW IN THESE LAST DAYS:
