Dear God, creator of Heaven and Earth, please help me write this well and according to your will!
The Bible Presents a problem
Jesus gave a parable in Matthew 13:19 When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart.
If we go back to verse 4 we have more insight about the parable that states 4 ...the fowls came and devoured them up:
Them being the seeds of the word of the kingdom.
Billy Graham said in his sermon titled "The Devil and Demons", "...but the demons will bother you, and irritate you, and harass you, and work on you night and day!--And the moment you receive Christ as Saviour, you'll know the devil is very much alive!"
In Revelations 12:17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
Thus, from scripture, we can have reason for a strong belief that-- there is an invisible to our naked eye, enemy out there-- that does not want individuals to progress on their quest to seek the Kingdom of God and his righteousness.
Remember Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle....against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Fowls make their nests high, and spirits are of the breathe of God, for which we cannot see but we know we are giving a breathe and taking in air (with exception of when its cold outside). We also know that turning on a black light can reveal stains on our mattress or bathroom walls that our naked eye cannot detect.
The Bible Also Offers Solutions:
PROVERBS 6:20 My son, keep thy father's commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother:
21 Bind them continually upon thine heart, and tie them about thy neck.
22 When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee: and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee
PROVERBS 3:1 My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments:
2 For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.
3 Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart.
PROVERBS 7:1 My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with thee.
2 Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of thine eye.
3 Bind them upon thy fingers, write them upon the table of thine heart.
DEUTERONOMY 6:8 And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes.
9 And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates.
Some Thoughts:
Okay; so remember with all thy getting get understanding! (Proverbs 4:7) When we read these verses in the past, they may not have made sense to us because we didn't know the problem we were facing. Thus, if we understand that there is an enemy out there in an invisible to our eye form, that is specifically set upon removing the scripture from our hearts and planting tares while we sleep, it will make more sense why we should write them on our homes, our gates, our bodies, and the tables of our hearts.
I believe the spirit essence of the solution-- is to put the scripture in places that will continually remind us in order to have a chance to survive the attacks upon us.
Many of us are totally unaware of what is happening to us while we sleep, and thus Proverbs 6:20 wouldnt make sense to us until we were able to believe and understand there is something out there attacking us in our sleep, and thus, we do have a need to be kept "while we sleep".
We need to constantly be re-seeding the word within ourselves which can happen as simply as seeing it when you look at the wall where you framed it, or wrote it.
For me personally, I tried to write the most important instruction to life according to the Bible, which is to Love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy Soul, and with all thy might. I also wrote DEUTERONOMY 28:47 because we are told to remember to have a good time following after God. On another wall I wrote DEUTERONOMY 6:13 because it seemed like a request from God, even though it didn't make so much sense to me at the time, it reminds me of what God wants and helps open my eyes when I look through scripture regarding "Fear of the LORD" and how important the instructions say that is, and even how it is a fountain of life, and the beginning of wisdom and knowledge.
That one about the fear of the LORD is based on a chance in Faith, for which Jesus also says is 1 of the 3 weightier matters of the law, along with Mercy and Judgement. So I also have "Mercy not Sacrifice" written.
HEBREWS 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him:...
Please remember how good it feels to have others believe in you!!
I hope all reading this are God-Blessed and will remember the instructions in LUKE 21:36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shll come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
Deuteronomy 28:47 Remember to have fun :)
