Jesus Talk

I'm still on the subject of fellowship with the Spirit from Phil 2:1.

What we talk about constantly is an indicator of what we have been thinking about. So before you go opening your big mouth again....well let me say it like this. When someone ELSE shoots off their mouth, NOW you'll know EXACTLY what they have been thinking about. Notice what people say when they are put under a little bit of pressure. Uh-huh. You'll know where the phrase 'Open mouth insert foot' comes from. The mouth is just the overflow of your thought life. Change your thought life and you change your mouth and actions.

Heb. 12:2, let's look at Jesus. He talked some kind of talk, but He also walked some kind of walk. That's because 'the words of His mouth and the meditations of His heart' were acceptable to God. Jesus gave satan His life plan when satan tempted Him in the wilderness. The Henry version of what Jesus told him is this, "I am going to live by every Word that comes out of my Father's mouth, unlike what you did you loser."

It is evident satan chose to meditate on and act in disobedience to God's Word. Look what it got him. Don't you know that Jesus' words were a dig into satan's soul. And very well they should have.

Long story short, when Jesus had fellowship with the Father, He always brought up the death, burial and resurrection. On the mount of transfiguration, He talked to Moses and Elijah about his resurrection. Very early in His ministry, He began to teach the disciples about His death, His burial and His resurrection. What did Jesus wind up with? He was crucified, just like His Father said. He died and He was buried just like His Father said. He rose from the dead just like His father said. There's a message there somewhere.

Psalm 19:14--David must have had a clue to fellowship with the Father when he wrote, "Let the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be acceptable in Thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer." When David QUIT thinking in line with God's Word and STARTED meditating on things he shouldn't have---POOF--there was Bathsheba. 

'Nuff said. But, saints, we have NOT been vigilant  enough in meditating and walking in the Word. That is what we have in common with the Holy Spirit. Fellowship with Him in accordance to God's Word strengthens our relationship with Him and one another. It also straightens our path.
