Silence of Disobedience

SILENCE OF DISOBEDIENCE

Silence is golden, or so it has been said. When the Lord is silent with one or many of His children, it is all but golden. The word, the will and the way God has set for us is no secret. It has existed in all ages. God is Love and that never changes. Ordinances, statutes and laws may become fulfilled and void of the necessity of keeping; it was already designed from their inception. Jesus told those concerned about his teaching contrary to the Mosaic Law that He “came not to destroy the law but to fulfill it.” There are supernatural laws mandated by God they require recognition and obeying. When Gods chosen become disobedient in any of His plan based guidelines, they won’t hear his voice until repentance, forgiveness and cleansing is accomplished to His satisfaction; that is by established and published guidelines. Keeping God’s commandments amounts to living a life style that displays LOVE in your life and great LOVE from His throne unto you. Disobedience of any commandment is a refuting of all commandments, even God. If God has become quite in your prayer time, check your calendar of events and locate any shortcoming recorded there; fix it. God looks upon the heart. Nothing is hidden from him. He leaves those who claim a perfect relationship with Him without keeping His commandments. In silence they may listen for His voice, seek His counsel and repent. The length of silence equals the length of discovery and repentance. He is quick to forgive and restore the communication lines between the faltering child and His seat in Heaven. He never leaves a faltering child but it is easy to fall into the trap of unbelief set by the devil.

If silence fails to draw our repentance, sterner measures will be taken. The Lord chastises His children whom He loves. Hebrews: 1 Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip. 2 For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward;3 How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him; 4 God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own willWe, chosen of God, enjoy a great privilege, we are made partakers of Christ, that is, of the Spirit, great Love, graces, and life of Christ. Thus we house a great and concentrated interest in all Christ’s attributes. The same spirit with which Christians set out in the ways of God, they should maintain unto the end; wavering not. Perseverance in faith and obedience is the best evidence of the sincerity of our Love for the Lord and His acceptance of Us; His Love. Hearing the word and gaining faith leads to conversion and maintains salvation, yet, if not hearkened to, it will expose more to the Divine wrath when silence has failed to produce repentance. Our happiness of being partakers of Christ lies within His interaction with us in Loving peace and assurance. Unless we keep our first love spotless so we have complete salvation, we need have no fear of God's wrath and eternal misery! Knowing this should stir us up to persevere ourselves in the life of obedient faith. Let us strive to be among true believers who enter heaven, when all others fail because of unbelief. As our obedience follows according to the power of our faith, so our sins and want of care are according to the prevailing of unbelief in us. Unbelief is a sin producing silence and unless corrected will earn the wrath of God. Hebrews 3: 10 Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known my ways. 11 So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest. 12 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.13 But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. 14 For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end; Know God, know peace. Amen. 03-07-2020 BLL
