Shalom,
Proverbs 11:14:
14 Where no wise guidance is, the people fall, but in the multitude of counselors there is safety.
"Wise guidance" here is the Hebrew word "tachbulah", which means: direction, guidance, wise counsel, good counsel. We MUST be led and guided by the Spirit of God and the Word of God in order to NOT fall and fail in this life! The second half of this verse isn't speaking about just ANY counselors, but it is referring to the "wise counselors" of the first half! The wisest counselors that I know, after the Father, Jesus and the Holy Spirit of course, are the 66 books that make up the Bible! Hide the Word of God in your heart daily and you will be well established to stand strong against ALL the wiles of your enemy! Thank You, Jesus! Another verse we need to look into is verse 24-25:
24 There are those who [generously] scatter abroad, and yet increase more; there are those who withhold more than is fitting or what is justly due, but it results only in want. 25 The liberal person shall be enriched, and he who waters shall himself be watered.
This makes absolutely NO SENSE to the world we live in today! Their idea is that in order to have more, we must hide away and store up everything and give nothing away! That is the total opposite of the nature of our Almighty God! We are told to give, and it WILL be given to us (Luke 6:38)! We MUST sow good seed if we want to reap a good harvest! This applies to every area of life, not just finances! See about meeting the needs of others and GOD will see to the meeting of yours! Amen!
In Revelation 17 John begins to describe the victory of Jesus over the "beast", and the false religious system. Again, though this is all very interesting, I would much rather concentrate on what we can do RIGHT NOW to fulfill the plan of God for our lives! By doing our parts NOW, we will ensure that we will take many more with us! Amen!
The theme for the book of Zechariah is God's jealous concern for Israel, Jerusalem, and the Jewish people. In chapter 1 He calls them to repentance (changing your thinking to agree with God), and then encourages them to trust in Him! Zechariah 2:10-11:
10 Sing and rejoice, O Daughter of Zion; for behold, I come, and I will dwell; in the midst of you, says the LORD. 11 And many nations shall join themselves to the Lord in that day and shall be My people. And I will dwell in the midst of you, and you shall know (recognize and understand) that the Lord of hosts has sent me [His messenger] to you.
We know that we are living in such a time as this verse suggests! The greatest revival that has ever occurred in the history of the Church of Jesus Christ is taking place all over the entire world right at this moment! People everywhere are learning to know, recognize, understand and realize that the One, True, Most High, Living, Almighty God of the Bible is the ONLY TRUE God! Hallelujah! Soon, and very soon! Come quickly, LORD Jesus! In the meantime, here again is Robin Marks with Days Of Elijah!
Shalom in Him!
