 Are We Ventriloquists in Our Prayers?

OR (Insincere Prayers are to False God's-Satan's Copy)
4-25-13

1 Choronicles 10: 10, 13, 14

10And they put [Saul’s] (asked, demanded, desired, required)armor (prepared; article, vessel, implement, utensil; to complete, prepare, consume) in the house of their gods and fastened (to blow, clap, strike, sound, thrust, give a blow, blast; to become bondsman by handclasping) his head (head, poll, skull; to roll, roll away, roll down, roll together; commit; run down, seek occasion, trust, wallow) in the temple of Dagon. (corn; a fish; as prolific, timid; in the sense of squirming, that is, moving by the vibratory action of the tail; to spawn, that is, become numerous: - grow; to be anxious)

REWRITE: Satan tries to exhaust us by putting prayers/thoughts in us that contain many words that mean nothing because they aren't sincere. (He makes a COPY of prayer that is to 'false god's of insincerity' by using us. These are what were created to be ONLY JEHOVAH- GOD'S) Exhaustion, then, becames the bondsmen of the mind. Our prayers then exhaust our mind without using our heart and our prayers became anxious.

13 So Saul  died for his trespass (falsehood) against the Lord [in sparing Amalek (a people who lick up)], for his unfaithfulness in not keeping (guard, protect, attend to; observe, give heed) God’s word, and also for consulting [a medium with] a spirit (a familiar spirit; water skin bottle (from its hollow sound); a mumble, necromancer (ventriloquist, as from a jar); father through the idea of prattling a father’s name) of the dead to inquire (to follow for pursuit or search; to resort to, seek, seek with care, enquire, require; to worship; to seak deity in prayer and worship; to practice, study, follow, seek with application) pleadingly of it,

REWRITE: So 'prayers to Jehovah' were dead because they became insincere and fake toward Jehovah (were used instead toward exhausting God's people). In not being faithful in protecting, heeding, observing and attending to God's Word and for asking and inquiring from a 'fake voice/necromancer' (a fake 'god' with no life) "prayers to Jehovah' died.

14And inquired (to follow for pursuit or search; to resort to, seek, seek with care, enquire, require; to worship; to seak deity in prayer and worship; to practice, study, follow, seek with application)  not so of the Lord [in earnest penitence]. Therefore (as a result) the Lord slew (to die prematurely by neglect of wise moral conduct) him and turned (to revolve, surround or border; to turn, turn about or around or aside or back or towards, go about or around, surround, encircle, change direction) the kingdom (something ruled, that is, a realm) over to David (The Beloved/Believer) son (builder of the house of...; seed) of Jesse. (gift; oblation; "I possess"; to stand out or exist; being, existence, substance, there is or are)

REWRITE: Don't ask God in prayer if you aren't sincere. If you do, the result is that your prayers will die/not be heard/be nothing and the 'realm of prayer' will be handed to 'The Beloved/the TRUE Believer' who is the builder of the 'house' that DOES LIVE, is ALIVE and SINCERE. He/She petitions with sincere prayers that come from the HEART and are ALIVE with SUBSTANCE! THEY WILL STAND OUT TO JEHOVAH-GOD!

"Obedience Brings Growth, Safety and Direction from God" OR

"Dwelling in Praise & Worship in the 'Forest of Hareth'"

4-19-13

S. 1 Samuel 22:5 Then the prophet Gad (a band, a troop; attack, invade, overcome)said to David (The Beloved/Believer), Do not remain in the stronghold  (This was in "Moab" which means: "Of his father" a descendant of Lot, a dweller of Sodom) ("stronghold"=a net; from: to lie alongside (that is, in wait); by implication to catch an animal figuratively men); leave, and get into the land of Judah (PRAISE & WORHSIP. So David left and went into the forest (the verdure/thick vegetation or growth) of Hareth ('to engrave/impress deeply; to form by incision).


S.   1 Samuel 22:5 Then the prophet Gad said to David, Do not remain in the stronghold; leave, and get into the land of Judah. So David left and went into the forest of Hareth.

 

"FOREST OF HARETH"=thick growth that has been engraved/impressed deeply


O.   After David left his parents in a safe place, the prophet Gad came to him with a warning and instructions from God; David, the 'Beloved', must leave the stronghold and the trap of Moab ("Of his father" a descendant of Lot, a dweller of Sodom). Because of God's warning that came with directions, David went to the forest of Hareth in the land of Judah to find safety; his reward of an extended life. ('Honor your father and your mother, as the LORD your God commanded you, that your days may be long,...' Deut. 5:16)

 

A.   When I obey God's commandments/instructions as David did (i.e. "Honor your parents") then God gives me a safe place to dwell, spiritual growth and peace of mind. I need to keep my spiritual ear close to God's lips and my mind/heart set on obedience in times of trouble or confusion. (ESPECIALLY places of fear or worry!) Not only will He warn me, but He'll give me the instructions I need to find peace, safety and NEW SPIRITUAL GROWTH!


P.   Father, You amaze me! I love the way You keep watch over me. Help my ear to always be close to Your lips so that I may hear every personal warning and instruction for my life. Thank You for the reward/growth at the end of each obedient act. May I always turn that back into praise to You.

1 Samuel 14:

25And all the people of the land came to a wood, (to thicken with verdure; a copse of bushes; hence a forest; hence honey in the comb (as hived in trees) and there was honey (to be gummy; honey (from its stickiness); by analogy syrup) on the ground. (to spread out; a field as flat)

REWRITE: And all the people of the land came to a place of thick growth. In that place there was the sweet Word of God spread out on a wide and 'unstoppable' place.

26When the men entered the wood, (to thicken with verdure; a copse of bushes; hence a forest; hence honey in the comb (as hived in trees) behold, the honey ((to be gummy; honey (from its stickiness); by analogy syrup)was dripping, (a journey, that is, (by implication) a wayfarer; also a flowing; journey, go, walk, come; to die, live, manner of life) but no man tasted it, (to 'reach' his 'power, means, direction' in the means of 'speach' or 'to scatter into corners' or to 'to cleave in pieces, break into pieces, shatter') for the men feared (to fear, reverence, honour, respect, be awed) (#853 AS A SIGN FROM GOD) the oath. (the 'curse' would become 'completed')

REWRITE: Humanity entered this place of thick growth. Pay attention! The Word of God was flowing in the 'manner of life/living', but NO human reached out his powers, means or direction to SPEAK it in order to shatter it, break it and scatter it to the four corners of the Earth. Humanity feared and were in awe of the 'curse/death', fearing that it would be completed.

27 But Jonathan (Given of God) had not heard when his father charged the people with the oath. (the 'curse' would become 'completed') So he dipped (TO PLUNGE; to send away, to let go, to stretch out, extend, direct) (#853 AS A SIGN FROM GOD) the end of the rod ("the whole, end, mouth, extremity; to cut off/scrape off" of the "a branch (as extending); figuratively a tribe; also a rod, whether for chastising (figuratively correction), ruling (a sceptre), throwing (a lance), or walking (a staff; figuratively a support of life, for example bread)...as to 'stretch out' or 'spread out') in his hand (strength/power/direction) into a honeycomb (to thicken with verdure/growth) and put it to his mouth,  (returned his 'power, strength, direction, to his 'speach')and his [weary] eyes (as showing mental qualities; of mental and spiritual faculties) brightened. (enlightened/become luminous/to be or become light/to shine)

REWRITE: But JESUS had not heard this,...that Father God had charged people with a curse of death. So he extended His Words, spreading the out to support LIFE (BREAD OF LIFE). He used His strength, power and direction to thicken the growth of the spiritually and mental weary and enlighten them...making them LIGHT, LUMINOUS and SHINNING!

SATAN TRIES TO MESS WITH BELIEVER 'S SPIRITUAL VISION

4-11-13

1 Samuel 11:1 AND NAHASH (serpent/snake; from its hiss; to practice divination) the Ammonite (tribal/associate/nation; to huddle together; to dim, darken, grow dark) went up (excell, be superior; to go up, ascend, climb) and besieged (to decline by slanting rays of evening/the time when shadows fall/sorrow, weakness comes and hope has faded...changing the 'light'; abide (in tents), camp, dwell, encamp, grow to an end, lie, pitch (tent), rest in tent) Jabesh-gilead (dry heap of testimony); and all the men of Jabesh (dryness/confusion/shame/disappointment) said to Nahash (serpent/snake), Make ((destroy, consume; to cut, cut off, cut down, cut off a body part, cut out, eliminate, kill, cut a covenant) a treaty (covenant, alliance, pledge ) with us, and we will serve you. (serve as subjects, enslave) 2But Nahash (serpent/snake) the Ammonite (tribal/associate/nation; to huddle together; to dim, darken, grow dark) told them, On this condition (on these conditions, herewith, thus provided, by, through this, for this cause, in this matter; from: a lamb/sheep/a flock being pushed, ruined and desolated out to graze/eat food/food of the spirit) I will make (destroy, consume; to cut, cut off, cut down, cut off a body part, cut out, eliminate, kill, cut a covenant) a treaty (covenant, alliance, pledge) with you, that I thrust out (dig, pick out, pierce, put (thrust) out) all your right (the stronger and more dexterous; the place of honor; the strength to do something; personal intercession; natural strength; strength of man or power of God revealed through man; natural change)  eyes ( as showing mental qualities; of mental and spiritual faculties) and thus lay disgrace (reproach resting upon condition of shame; to expose as by stripping) on all Israel. (God's people)

Rewrite:

And satan, the one that causes darkness in the world/nations, excelled and became superior in how God's people perceived the times; increasing their sorrows, weaknesses and hopelessness. And satan abides in the 'Dried up and Withered Testimony of God's ; the place of shame, confusion and disappointment. This made God's people weaker, changing their spiritual vision and their point of a view of negativity.

God's people then said to satan, " Make a truce with us; a bond, a connection with us. Then we will be enslaved to you and serve as your subjects."

Satan told them, "This is what you will have to do: As a flock of sheep, I will push you out to graze on this 'spiritual food'. I will cut off a part of you to make this alliance with me. The part of you that I will cut off, dig out and pierce is your 'spiritual vision' the part that 'sees' with your mental and physical faculties, your thoughts. This will be a condition of shame on God's people, exposing them by stripping off God's protection and covering that protects their mind and thoughts."

 

11The next day Saul put the men in three companies; and they came into the midst of the enemy’s camp in the [darkness of the] morning watch and slew the Ammonites until midday; and the survivors were scattered, so that no two of them remained together.

Rewrite:

In a future time, after 'asking', the men's thoughts and mind were superior; completed and matured they severed the place where satan had tried to 'change their spiritual vision'. They overcame the 'slanting' of light that had changed their spiritual vision. They became watchful and awake. The people of God killed the place of where 'darkness merges with the world/nations'. What remained of the 'darkness' was dashed in pieces and dispersed so that no unity was left for this 'merging of darkness and nations'. It could no longer remain united...it was 'disjointed', and weakened.

"Watching for Growth During Winnowing"

4-9-13

Psalm 72:16 (AMP) There shall be abundance  (expanse, fulness, plenty; from: to disperse, that is, (intransitively) disappear: - cease) of grain (to clarify/examine by winnowing) in the soil (to be firm) upon the top (head, top, summit, upper part, chief, total, sum, height, front, beginning; to shake the 'head') of the mountains (meaning to loom up; type of promotion or problem) [the least fruitful places in the land]; the fruit (grow, increase) of it shall wave (make afraid; to undulate as the earth, the sky, etc.; also a field of grain, particularly through fear; specifically to spring as a locust) like [the forests of] Lebanon (white; purity) , and [the inhabitants of] the city (a place guarded by waking or a watch; excitement, anguish; from: idea of opening the eyes) shall flourish (to blossom; to show self) like grass (meaning to glisten or be green/i.e. growth; tender shoot, herb) of the earth. (to be firm)

REWRITE:

There shall be unseen fullness and plenty...an inner-man stretching...by examination and clarification in winnowing/testing in order to get rid of what is undesirable inside of us. This is done by the use of fluxuation and change. What is foundational and firmly set in our thinking will be sifted to the top and loom up/become large...revealing promotion or problems. What is inside of us will be shaken by fear by what is Truth. We are to watch in excitement and maybe even anguish (extreme pain, distress). We are to watch with our spiritual eyes, and 'see' what will show itself and blossom. Watch for the tender 'shoot', the growth, of what is foundational/firm within ourselves.
