Topic: Life in the Pot
Greetings Sons of God:
So in the previous message we examine how we
can tell whether we are dead by 6 methods.
Now these are not the only 6 there are others but these are prominent
and should be made aware to the Body of Christ.
Let’s conclude this study!
2 Kings 4:41:
But he said, Then bring meal. And
he cast it into the pot; and he said, Pour out for the people, that they may
eat. And there was no harm in the pot.
In the previous message we saw that the man
of God, Elisha who is also a picture of the sons of God tells them to put on a
pot of pottage. I did not notice that Elisha told them to “go out” and get
anything but simply put the pottage on.
Well of course in times of famine, people are desperate and unfortunately
will eat anything. Apparently the one
who went out into the field picked a vegetable for the pottage that made the
food inedible and poisonous hence the
phrase “There is death in the pot”. We
know from the previous message that the field represents the world, the gourds
represent the “food” or doctrine of the world, and death is simple separation
from God. Now here we go!
Elisha admonishes the sons of the prophets to
bring meal and he cast it in the pot and the meal makes the pottage
edible. Elisha representing the sons of
God and the meal is the Word of God. So
it is the sons of God in the midst of the famine that are the provision for the
people who are hungry because they carry the meal, the bread of heaven, the
bread of life, that has victory over death and nourishes those who are a
hunger.
We know in Scripture the power of the Word of
God let’s examine:
1 Samuel 3:1: And the child Samuel ministered
unto the Lord before Eli and the word of the Lord was precious in those days;
there was no open vision
Proverbs 29:18: Where there is no vision, the
people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he
Psalm 119:105: Your word is a lamp unto my
feet and light unto my path
John 6:63: It is the spirit that quickeneth
(gives life); the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you,
they are spirit, and they are life.
The Word of God is life, it gives life and
has victory over death. When we put the
Word of God in our life and activate it by our obedience death has no
power. We as the sons of God cannot
just eat any doctrine. There is a wisdom
from above and a wisdom from the earth, which is devilish and carnal. We must stay clear of the wisdom from the
earth because it is carnal and devilish and produces death!
Peace, Love and Grace,
