May 30, 2006 Psalms 119:172 My tongue shall speak of thy word: for all thy commandments are righteousness. There is he that speaks about the Word. Another one explains the Word. Each one presents his or her own surmising, explanation, interpretation, logical deduction. Oh, how it must frustrate the heart of the Father of the Words; how it must sadden Him. Here He gave us the Fountain of the Water of Life and yet so many scientifically dissect it and merely talk about its greatness. Here, He has given it to water-bearers to satisfy the thirst of the throngs and multitudes, and all they can do is display it and proclaim its good qualities. Oh, yes it is honored and adored, but unless that water is absorbed, taken in, to become not only part of our nature, but our nature itself, it will not have the desired effect. So many are appointed as “Waterbearers”. They present the Water to the multitude as the solution to their problems, the healing for their diseases. They hold it up, and then go on philosophizing about the water. The multitudes come, they learn about the Water of Life, and yet they go away thirsty. We are told to “preach the Gospel” (Mark 16:15); to “preach the Word” (2 Tim 4:2), and it must be His Word, not our own. Let us therefore fill ourselves of the righteousness of His Words so that they will naturally flow out of mouths to refresh the thirsty multitudes that are deceived by the mirage of the devil’s wisdom. Let us not only give them the Word as coming from a source outside of ourselves, but give them the Word become flesh, coming out of our “flesh”, or our heart; this is their only chance. 1Co 2:4 And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: Mark 16:15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
