Ed,
Let's see this
PATTERN too, if we both can agree -
again!!!
THE HOLY BIBLE said:
Num 20:7-8
7 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
8 Take the rod, and gather thou the assembly together, thou, and Aaron thy brother, and speak ye unto the rock before their eyes; and it shall give forth his water, and thou shalt bring forth to them water out of the rock: so thou shalt give the congregation and their beasts drink.KJV
Yes, we are TO SPEAK TO JESUS FOR OURSELVES AND FOR THE BENIFIT OF OTHERS AS
THE PATTERN SHOWS.
WE ARE BOTH IN AGREEMENT ON THIS!
Now,........that we see
this PATTERN IN THE NEW TESTAMENT,.....HOW IS THIS FULFILLED IN NEW TESTAMENT BELIEVERS.
What
was Moses to say, God didn't give Him words to speak.
So what was Moses to say anyway? Scripture answers that.
So, was Moses just to speak to Jesus (The Rock) to simply start out by addressing God -- possibly?
THE PATTERN OF SPEAKING IN THE NEW TESTMENT:
Mark 14:36
36 And he (JESUS) said, Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee; KJV
Rom 8:15
15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
KJV
Gal 4:6
6 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.KJV
Is that as simple as it really needed to be. YES.
BUT THE STORY (THE PATTERN) IS NOT FIISHED:
Now, God tells Moses that He didn't believe
to sanctify Him (God) before the eyes of the children of Israel.
We read:
]Num 20:12
12 And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron, Because ye believed me not, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel,KJV
What is the Holy Spirit's work in a new believer and in those who endure till the end?
----->HE SANCTIFY'S THEM when they believe, THROUGH THE hearing of WORD'S OF GOD THROUGH THE SPIRIT OF GOD.
Won't they obtain sanctifcation through our Mercy unto them? Yes.
[qote]Rom 11:31
31 Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy.
Rom 11:32
32 For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all.

So what do we do with this now.......do we just float on our holy-clouds now?
No. ---------------> Where others aren't believing you have Mercy now for them where God might be Sanctified in their eyes. Speak to the Rock of your own Salvation and want Salvation for the rest of THE OLIVE TREE - those who are to come in.
Believe God's goodness for others. Stand with your Rod (don't know what this is yet---I do have somewhat of a Revelation though)for without Faith it is impossible to Please God.
Because Moses didn't believe God (where it came to Israel) he didn't get to go into the Promised Land. We must Believe God's goodness (for also remanent of the Children of Israel) lest we too, come short of entering the Rest of God.
GOD'S PATTERNS ARE RIGHT ON.
GOD'S PATTERS SURE TODAY!!!!!
DON'T MISS THEM!!!
ALL BE MADE WHOLE,
