New Revelation Knowledge for 2013: How
to receive God’s blessings?
(January 19, 2013)
We have been taught in the modern
charismatic church to ask God for whatever we need, and that is certainly
something that we can find in the word. “Ye have not because ye ask not.”
(James 4:2)
There is however a translation
problem that leads to a perception problem. The English word pray is
derived from a root word meaning “to beg or to entreat,” while the Hebrew word להתפלל (hitpallel) comes from a verb meaning “to judge or
correct
oneself.”
The bible mostly mentions this (“to
judge or correct oneself”) as the correct approach to God. David refers to it
repeatedly in his
psalms.
“Who can understand his errors,
cleans thou me from secret faults.” Psalm 14:12
“Let the words of my mouth and
the meditation of my heart be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord my strength and my
redeemer.” Psalm 14:19
“Search me, oh God, and know my
heart, try me and know my thoughts, and see if there be any wicked way in me,
and lead me in the way everlasting.” Psalm 139:23-24
So, the self correction thinking
is more in line with the early (Hebrew cultured) church thinking. This thinking
has also more humility, as opposed to the thinking, or mind-set, of blaming God
or the devil for our problems. It is also not to be confused with
self-condemnation or
self-accusation which is unscriptual. (Romans 8:1)
Paul writes (by the Spirit) about
the importance of self examination and self correction in connection with
taking communion.
“But let a man examine himself,
and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.” (1 Corinthians 11:28)
The problem is not to get God to
do something for us, but rather to correct and align our lives so we can
receive that which he has already provided for us.
God has already blessed us with all spiritual blessings in
heavenly places in Christ Jesus. (Ephesians 1:3)
Constantly asking God, without
self-correction, is an error and robs us of God’s best!
“Examine yourselves, whether you
be in the faith, prove your own selves,” (2 Corinthians 13:5)
So, when we pray we must first
examine our hearts in the light of the Word and let the Spirit of God correct
us. Then we can really call upon the Lord in faith, and he will surely answer
us according to his word. (Jeremiah 33:3)

THE TRUMPET by BILL
BURNS:
Tell the people to get themselves untangled in
their position of life, says the Lord. Untangle yourselves one tangle at a time
with understanding that as you finish the process everything will be in order.
Do not leave tangled messes in your life. For, if you do so you will be caught
in them and taken captive by them.
SMALL STRAWS IN A SOFT WIND by
MARSHA BURNS:
I am bringing
you through a time of testing and adjustments. There are corrections to
be made to your path of life, and those corrections will begin to bear fruit as
soon as you let go of the things that have been a distraction and a hindrance
to your progression. You will now be able to see with greater clarity and
understanding, says the Lord, as you walk in the Spirit.
Proverbs
10:17 He who keeps instruction is in the way of life, but he who refuses
correction goes astray.
