The printed Word IS a wellspring of life to those who hunger and thirst after righteousness, whose source is the Spirit of God. To those who do not seek righteousness within the printed Word, it is a “well of opinion” from which they are the source.

Recent events
We have been away for a bit trying the spirits to see if they are of God or not. My return to this site and blog hopefully will include more of thoughts from the Spirit of Truth that leads and guides to all truth.

The league or covenant, which the Lord makes with His
people, is the agreement that rests upon conditions—conditions of support and
protection on His part, and of fidelity and obedience on theirs. (Works of
faith and labors of love) This league is made before Jehovah, when the Church,
individually or collectively, acknowledges the Divinity of the Lord in His
Humanity.
It is eternally absolute of our Lord’s character to be
supportive and provide protection. (Deut
32:11 & 12, Ruth 2:12, Psalms 17:8, 36:7, 57:1, 63:7, and 91:4)
It is with our faithful heart service of fidelity and
obedience. In other words our will,
affections and desires have to be involved in actions (works) according to the
thoughts we have. (Proverbs 24:12, Jer.
25:14, Matt 16:27, Rev 2:23, 20:12 & 13)
Paul indicates in Romans 10:6-17 how we acknowledge the
Divinity of our Lord in His Humanity and it is not with lip service that we
should come to acknowledge Him. (Isa.
29:13, Eze. 33:31, Matt. 15:7-9)
Those thoughts come from hearing the word of God. (Rom
10:17) My sheep hear my voice, I know them and they do follow; they that hear
the voice of the Son of God shall live. (John 10:27, 5:25) Who hears His voice
initially are those that are dead and sleeping. What those that hear choose to
do with it are another matter. Some fail
in their choice to understand and it is removed, (Matt 13:19) some with stony
hearts have no will, affections or desire to support the word. (Matt 13:20
& 21) Others are so involved in
choosing the love of the world and love of self they prevent or suppress the
word’s growth within them. (Matt
13:22) Then there are those with whom
their heart (will, affections and desires) see and perceive, hear and
understand with their heart, bringing forth the fruit of the Spirit. (Matt
13:23, Gal 5:22 & 23, Eph 5:9-11)
