Topic: Clarify (10/15/15)
Clarify.
To clarify is to make a matter clear and unambiguous. To leave no area of doubt in anyone's mind about what you are saying. To also be concise and to the point, and Jesus did just that.

Isaiah in chapter 51. verse 1. Did some very straight talking when he warned the nation of Israel. To listen to me you who pursue righteousness, who seek the Lord.
Look to the rock from which you were hewn. And to quarry from which you were dug. This message was very clear and in fact to bring in a modern term. Isaiah was taking no prisoners.

All the prophets up to the time of the ministry of Jesus. Told it as it was given them by God, Nothing added and nothing taken away.

We find in Luke chapter 13. verses 31-32. Just at that time some Pharisees approached Jesus, saying to him. 31. Go away, leave here for Head wants to kill you.
Listen to the reply that Jesus gave them. 32. Go and tell that old fox, behold I cast out demons and perform cures today and tomorrow. And the third day I will reach my goal.
That was plain enough it could not be misunderstood. This was message being sent to an earthly king. In the natural you do not speak about a king like that.

But this was the king of Kings, the Lord of Lords speaking with clarity. Neither Herod or these pharisees had the spirit of God and were blind to this.
This is the trouble with the church and sometimes ourselves. We are not in the power of the Holy spirit and we see a situation and people in the natural realm.

Revelation Chapter 22. verses 18-19. Spells it out in no uncertain terms.
18. I testify to anyone who hears the words of the prophesy of this book. If anyone adds to them. God will add to him the plagues which are written in this book.
19. And if anyone takes away from the words of this book of prophesy. God will take away his part from the tree of life. And from the holy city, which are written in this book.
Plain enough? Well I reckon so, it is clarified!.

These thought are good for us to think about.

Spell check does not always work: Go away, leave here for Head wants to kill you.
