Many believers are divided today by doctrine and tradition, however the subject that causes the greatest divide is that of searching for the original meaning and context of the Bible. When a believer begins to question a denominational doctrine or tradition they often find themselves persecuted by their friends and family. Psalms 86:11, “Teach me Your way, O LORD, that I may walk in Your truth. Give me an undivided heart, that I may fear Your name.” All of Psalm 86 is David’s prayer for guidance as he searched for meaning and understanding as he was being persecuted for following his Creator.

Prayer -- Day 21

Drink

“If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink”. (John 7:37)

Sometimes unsatisfied longings well up within us. We may seem to have everything our hearts desire and ought to be perfectly satisfied, but still these vague dissatisfactions diminish our happiness. When you feel unsatisfied, try saying this verse a few times. Try to imagine how Yeshua looked when He said these words: the kindness, the understanding, the peace on His face. Try picturing yourself as receiving from Him a drink of cold water; symbolic of the water of life that completely satisfies thirst so that one never thirsts again.

You may be wondering why I'm posting a definition like this on Truth Social. It's because apparently there's a slander going around which says that the word "Goyim" is a slur invented by the Rabbis against gentiles. While I don't know how they use it in the Talmud, we know that the word is much older than the Rabbi's commentary and is used by God Himself.

"Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall observe and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven."

Mt 5

"He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, his prayer also shall be abomination." Pr 28

It is interesting that this comes so near before a giving of the Gospel:

"He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy." Pr 28

The prayer which is an abomination could be a praying of the sinner's prayer; it could also be any psalm of praise.

Before you dare open your mouth to praise, open your ear to the Law.

The devils tremble at God's glory - God cares nothing for it. When they threw themselves down before Christ, proclaiming him to be the Holy One, did he have any need of that? He silenced them and cast them out of his presence.

Is this you? Is this you, falling down on your knees, lifting your hands on high, trembling in every joint, in deep sincerity proclaiming the holiness and godhead of Christ - silenced and cast out of Christ's presence because you weren't even curious at the very least to listen to his commandments?

It is said that we should be in church to worship.

"...when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood."

Even if your hands are not full of blood, Christ says that if thy brother has anything against you,

"leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift." Mt 5

Anything amiss, and God says to forget about worship. To obey is better than sacrifice.

"herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void of offence toward God, and toward men." Acts 24

This is the prerequisite. Only saints can offer worship.

"golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints" Rev 5

If you do not have the desire even to know what God has commanded much less to keep it, songs of praise are not for you to sing.

"Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil; learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow." Isa 1

Be in church to search your soul, to repent of anything contrary to God's Law, to take responsibility for obedience as God truly desires - then, and only then, to worship.
