5 - On The Apostolic Cutting Edge God puts us on the stretch.

A letter to those in my Fathers Business.

God wants to be understood and then believed.

David understood God.

Take a look at what David saw.

The David of the 23rd Psalm, after saving a sheep from a lion and another one from a bear, understood God. He said, The Lord is my shepherd. Do you see that David understood it was God taking care of him?

Could you preach a sermon, The Lord is my shepherd. Is He yours?

You cannot believe what you do not understand. First you must read the Bible for understanding. Once you get the picture you must believe it. The goal is to read for understanding so you can have faith in God. That is one goal not two.

To read for understanding only is to understand the Law knowing you are breaking it. 90 mph is too fast. You had better slow down. That light you are going through is red so look in your rear view mirror to see if a policeman saw you. Natural laws and spiritual laws are made to keep. A person who is serious with God will study His word to become a better person. There is no end to it.

The rule is: Study to show yourself approved unto God.

2 Tim 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

To be approved unto God is the highest honor a person can get. It is a rewarding, rich, exciting form of existence that only a believer can have.

Living on The Apostolic Cutting, where God is continually pouring out His Spirit, requires a keen awareness of His presence. Be aware that God is always there urging you. Being out ahead of the pack is an awesome responsibility. We need to walk worthy of our calling.

Until the next time,

Peace be with you !
