1 | Why don't you know for sure? | Eccl 11:6 | keynam | 100056 | ||
One thing you must realize is that you are reading the Old Testament. I believe that He left us alone for so long because we were not following the laws that He handed down to Moses. Once Jesus came and died God sent us the Holy Spirit. We are living in a time of Grace and Mercy which was not available to those in the Old Testament days. I'm going to research more of the scriptures but wanted to answer this best to my knowledge as we just went over this in my bible school. To answer the second half of your question once Adam and Eve ate of the forbidden fruit God gave us freedom to make or own choices. He wants us to choose Him but instead we turn away and do what we want. | ||||||
2 | Are you quite sure about that? | Eccl 11:6 | Aixen7z4 | 100133 | ||
So why is there that little doubt in your mind? When Jesus was here he had no doubt. He said he knew the father was always with him. He never had that little doubt. He did always the things that please the Father. But you do not. Sometimes you do not know whether you do or not. That's the truth. Please don’t say it’s because Jesus was or is God. Please read on. When Jesus directed his disciples in fishing he told them to cast their nets on the right side of the ship; not the left, or front, or back. When they needed money to pay the tax he directed them to the fish with the coin in its mouth. Does he direct you, directly, like that? Please don’t say it’s because Jesus was here in person. Please read on. When the Lord spoke through Ezekiel, the prophet said, “The spirit entered into me, and set me upon my feet, and spake with me, and said unto me, ‘Go, shut thyself within thine house. And I will make thy tongue cleave to the roof of thy mouth, that thou shalt be dumb, and shalt not be to them a reprover. But when I speak with thee, I will open thy mouth, and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD’”. Would you not like to be clear about God’s will as that? Please don’t say that was the Old Testament. Read on. It happened in the life of Paul the Apostle. After they were come to Mysia, they assayed to go into Bithynia: but the Spirit suffered them not. And they passing by Mysia came down to Troas. And a vision appeared to Paul in the night; There stood a man of Macedonia, and prayed him, saying, Come over into Macedonia, and help us. And after he had seen the vision, immediately they endeavoured to go into Macedonia, assuredly gathering that the Lord had called them for to preach the gospel unto them. Wouldn’t you like it if the Lord led you as definitely as that? But now he says sow the seed, though some may fall on bad ground. Preach the gospel even if it is the wrong season. Come to think of it, Jesus spoke to the people even when some had no ears to hear. Ezekiel was to speak whether the people would listen or not. Paul preached in Macedonia and got put in jail. And some of you are reading this and asking what’s the point. And some of you have an answer, mingled with doubt. You say God never leaves us alone and you forget that he sometimes does that “for a small moment” (Isa 54:7). You are not sure that he does not do that for a longer period of time. Are you confident he has given you the answer you are about to give? |
