Thought For The Day (July 13, 2012): YHWH’s Provision Involves Our Heart

We need to take care of our heart because receiving YHWH’s provision involves our heart.

Genesis 22:14 (NKJV) reads:
14 And Abraham called the name of the place, The-LORD-Will-Provide (YHWH-Jireh); as it is said to this day, “In the Mount of the LORD it shall be provided.”

Psalm 24:3-4 (NKJV) reads:
3 Who may ascend into the hill of the LORD? Or who may stand in His holy place?
4 He who has clean hands and a pure heart, Who has not lifted up his soul to an idol, Nor sworn deceitfully.
5 He shall receive blessing from the LORD, And righteousness from the God of his salvation.

Psalm 15:1-2 (NKJV) reads:
1 LORD, who may abide in Your tabernacle? Who may dwell in Your holy hill?
2 He who walks uprightly, And works righteousness, And speaks the truth in his heart …

Hebrews 12:22-24 (NKJV) reads:
22 But you have come to Mount Zion [the Mount of YHWH] and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, to an innumerable company of angels,
23 to the general assembly and church of the firstborn who are registered in heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect,
24 to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than that of Abel.

We have an appointed place in the MOST HIGH GOD, positioned under the shadow of the ALMIGHTY.

Psalm 91:1 (NKJV) reads:
1 He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

We access this position by faith in GOD through His SON, the WORD of GOD. The Witness of YESHUA alive in us, by the HOLY SPIRIT, qualifies us to operate in this position (see Romans 8:2).

1 John 5:10, 7-8 (NKJV) reads:
10 He who believes in the Son of God has the witness in himself; he who does not believe God has made Him a liar, because he has not believed the testimony that God has given of His Son. …
7 For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one.
8 And there are three that bear witness on earth: the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and these three agree as one.

This reality is part and parcel of the fulfillment of the Law and the Prophets.

Genesis 28:10-13, 16-17 reads:
10 Now Jacob went out from Beersheba and went toward Haran.
11 So he came to a certain place and stayed there all night, because the sun had set. And he took one of the stones of that place and put it at his head, and he lay down in that place to sleep.
12 Then he dreamed, and behold, a ladder was set up on the earth, and its top reached to heaven; and there the angels of God were ascending and descending on it. [See also John 1:51, 47-51.]
13 And behold, the LORD stood above it and said: “I am the LORD God of Abraham your father and the God of Isaac; the land on which you lie I will give to you and your descendants. ……
16 Then Jacob awoke from his sleep and said, “Surely the LORD is in this place, and I did not know it.”
17 And he was afraid and said, “How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven!”

We are the house of GOD and the gate to heaven is the Witness of JESUS CHRIST in us. This Witness arises from a circumcised heart of flesh. Amen!
