" WHY SHOULD YOU BE STRICKEN ANYMORE? YE WILL REVOLT MORE AND MORE; THE WHOLE HEAD IS SICK, AND THE WHOLE HEART IS FAINT." Isaiah 1:5).
We serve a longsuffering Elohiym (God)!!! Have you ever paid close attention to that word? Just that fact that he has to suffer with us ought to tell us something. He suffers when he sees us suffer. Now its one thing when we are decieved as Eve was or manipulated. Buts its a whole other ball game when we do it to ourselves.
It is said that the back of our heads harbor the area of the brain that can be stimulated by our emotions. Its from this area where the first thought to respond to something comes from. Therefore its a vital area! Then why would we continue to let the enemy hit us in the back of the head? Sadly to say he does'nt have any control over us, we give it to him. How?
" CONFESS YOUR FAULTS ONE TO ANOTHER, AND PRAY ONE FOR ANOTHER, THAT YE MAY BE HEALED. THE EFFECTUAL FERVENT PRAYER OF A RIGHTEOUS MAN AVAILETH MUCH?" James 5:16).
What is the "fault" we confess? Fault-(greek)-paratoma=a lapse or a deviation from truth and uprightness. Its not easy for all of us to see this as sin, which too is a deviation, to step away from righteousness.We must realize first that we all have sinned and fall short of the glory of the Adonai. Yes we have faults, even though we might not mean to. The Elohiym knew alot of these things would take place, one because of the enemies attacks, and two because we just don't know yet.
" IN ALL THY WAYS ACKNOWLEDGE HIM AND HE WILL DIRECT THY PATHS" Proverbs 3:6
Yes there are alot of religions that teach that once we are Messiahs we don't have anymore faults, but this is not biblical!!! Yes he did take all these sins, these faults upon himself so that there would be a way to be cleansed of them, acknowledging them cleanses us from them. He is our Savior from sin and death. Faith carries us into a wonderful place,,, that place is called grace. Grace says okay I know you did'nt know, and now you know the truth, now you can have a better walk, fight a better fight, and run a good race.
" IF WE SAY WE HAVE NO SIN( to err, be mistaken) WE DECIEVE OURSELVES, AND THE TRUTH IS NOT IN US. IF WE CONFESS OUR SINS (errors and mistakes), HE IS FAITHFUL AND JUST TO FORGIVE US OUR SINS, AND CLEANSE US FROM ALL UNRIGHTEOUSNESS." 1 John 1:8-9).
This was so important to Elohiym (God) that he makes the illustration, that these unconfessed sins (mistakes) are like recieving untended wounds.
In the 1st chapter of the books of Isaiah verse 6, he describes these bruises, wounds, and pure open sores, that are untreated. Can you imagine? When we sin we know that is not from the Adonai (Lord) for he is good, he alone is all knowing! Instead we let the enemy shoot us with a dart, because we got shot,, we respond. What are some of the words that come to your head when you say for instance stub your toe real hard or slam your finger in a door??? This is what the enemy waits for!!! Once we respond in the wrong manner, then he comes every now and then and slaps us in the back of the head in the same area, (our emotions) this keeps the wound fresh. He knows that eventually any untreated wound will become infected and start to ooze,,,, yuck! We must learn to care for our spiritual body the same way we would tend to our physical body. The Adonai has the ointment, the cleansing and the healing for this. Cause he knows left unattended we end up in the same situation Israel was in the beginning verse! None of us will leave a wound unattended? Why? because after a time physically they cause pain. This went on so long that unconfessed sin affected the whole of the head, and the whole of the heart!!! Thats alot of pain!
" FROM THE SOLE OF THE FOOT EVEN UNTO THE HEAD, THERE IS NO SOUNDNESS IN IT; BUT WOUNDS AND BRUISES, AND PUTRIFYING SORES; THEY HAVE NOT BEEN CLOSED; NEITHER BOUND UP, NEITHER MOLLIFIED WITH OINTMENT. " Isaiah 1:6
Can you imagine being in this condition and not know it?? Our Adonai came with gauze, and the ointment. He came with the healing, aquainted with these sorrows from these wounds caused by our faults or that of the enemies luring. Every affliction known to man he has dealt with. All he wants us to do is look at the wound! I know it's gotten ugly, it may take our peace for just a moment. But in the twinkling of an eye your healing is nigh! Don't let it get any worse, give it to him, show it to him, let him know that it hurts. He is the great physician, whatever it is it's his specialty. Did'nt he prove that on the cross?
Does'nt that feel better already, even thinking about it starts to relieve its pain and it's pressure, he's listening don't stop now!!!
Now the last part of the information is vital! How do we not get anymore wounds?
" ABOVE ALL TAKING THE SHIELD OF FAITH, WHEREWITH YE SHALL BE ABLE TO QUENCH ALL THE FIERY DARTS OF THE WICKED. " Ephesians 6:16
By faith we confess,
By faith we show it to him
By faith we know he will heal it
By faith he prepares us that the enemy will never again be able to afflict that wound.
By faith our emotions are entrusted to our spirit that belongs to our Adonai.
By faith they are tamed, by the Word of Elohiym (God)
By faith we use our shield not even allowing the enemies dart have access to us.
By faith,,,,, we know longer have to keep getting hit in the back of the head (the emotions).
" AND TAKE THE HELMET OF SALVATION, AND THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT, WHICH IS THE WORD OF ELOHIYM (GOD).
See he's a Elohiym (God) of all wisdom, he has in his infinite wisdom made all preparations for our sins, faults and confessions. And we love him for loving us so. Our wounds are healed , our head is covered with saving grace, theres no more pain, the word of the spirit defeats all the weapons of the enemies that causes us pain, even those things that we ourselves err in and make mistakes.
Be healed
Be safe
Be at liberty!!! now move unto glory! The glory thats in the love of the only begotten, Jesus our Messiah. Walk in the beloved cleansed and whole! Finish the race, your paths been once again cleared!!!
