Search the scriptures

Search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and they are they which testify of Me. John 5:39
It is striking that those who knew the Scriptures the best, the Pharisees, were the very ones who looked Jesus in the face and missed God completely. The veil on their hearts, which could only be taken away by turning to Christ, had blinded them.
Paul goes on to tell Timothy in 2 Timothy 3:15:
and that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
There is benefit in knowing the Scriptures. They are not salvation in themselves but are able to make you wise unto salvation. Jesus is salvation and it is the revelation of Christ in the Scriptures that is needed. I like to say it like this:
Read where it is alive, pray where it is alive, worship where it is alive. When you read a Scripture, the life that reaches and quickens you is the Christ you experience. The Scriptures paint the picture in your heart, but the Person is the presence and expression.

The always coming one!

THE ALWAYS COMING ONE: Revelation-1-4 John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto u, and peace, from him WHICH IS, and WHICH WAS, and WHICH IS TO COME; and from the Seven Spirits which are before the Throne: God always wants to start in the now, present perspective, then show us the what was of the past, then bring us , move us, toward our future that is manifested in the Christ. These Three perspectives are very important, John is told to write in this same perspective, except when he writes there is a slight Order change Revelation-1-19 write the things thou hast seen, write the things which are because of what you have seen done, then write the future things, u need to see past done, finished things, that are established, it is done, it is a finished thing, because Christ finished what it was, then they are, they become a Reality, not something that is not done, but a finished reality to bring about something that is, then write about the future things.

A graveyard mentality

A GRAVE YARD MENTALITY; Exodus-14-11 And they said unto Moses, because there are no graves in Egypt, hast thou taken us away to die in the wilderness? Wherefore hast thou dealt thus with us, to carry us forth out of Egypt? One of the only reasons church goers go to, or stay in certain churches, is that there is where all their family is buried, and that they want to have a grave yard to be buried in. The children of Israel were no DIFFERENT, than a lot of believers of our day, they were more concerned with where they were going to be buried, than they were with deliverance, and a full life in the land of MILK AND HONEY, THE PROMISE LAND WAS NOT ENGRAINED IN THEIR THINKING, THEY HAD DYING AND BEING BURIED IN THE GRAVEYARD ON THEIR MINDS. After Jesus arose, some of the disciples came to the tomb, to the graveyard, after seeing the stone rolled away and a empty tomb, they were asking where have you laid him, so we can come and take him, The Angel messengers said, WHY SEEK YE THE LIVING A...
