THE NOTION OF DIVINE CONTROL

"How much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask Him?" - Matthew 7:11

Jesus (Yashua) is laying down rules of conduct for those who have His Spirit.

By the simple argument of these verses He urges us to keep our minds filled with the notion of God's control behind every thing, which means that the disciple must maintain an attitude of perfect trust and an eagerness to ask and to seek.

Notion your mind with the idea that God is there. If once the mind is notioned along that line, then when you are in difficulties it is as easy as breathing to remember -Why, my Father knows all about it! It is not an effort, it comes naturally when perplexities press. Before, you used to go to this person and that, but now the notion of the Divine control is forming so powerfully in you that you go to God about it. Jesus is laying down the rules of conduct for those who have His Spirit, and it works on this principle - God is my Father, He loves me, I shall never think of anything He will forget, why should I worry?

There are times, says Jesus (Yashua), when God cannot lift the darkness from you, but trust Him. God will appear like an unkind friend, but He is not; He will appear like an unnatural Father, but He is not; He will appear like an unjust judge, but He is not. Keep the notion of the mind of God behind all things strong and growing. Nothing happens in any particular unless God's will is behind it, therefore you can rest in perfect confidence in Him. Prayer is not only asking, but an attitude of mind which produces the atmosphere in which asking is perfectly natural. "Ask, and it shall be given you."

    From MY UTMOST FOR HIS HIGHEST - by Oswald Chambers

And so begins TRUE Hebrew Theology, That Yahweh, the Everliving God is in control. There is no aspect of our lives that is not under His careful scrutiny. Even when nothing seems to make sense, if I am submitted to my Heavenly Father and His Commandments, He is at work, refining me through the fire, purifying me. 
Trust is what it all boils down to. Why do we obey His law and commands? Because we trust that our Father Yahweh knows better than we what is good for us. When we make Him our True focus, we begin to see Him at work, even in the worst of circumstances, and then we like Paul can say,"And the peace of God which transcends all understanding will guard your hearts and your minds in Yashua the Messiah." Philippians 4:7.

Many people claim to believe in the One True God, but how many actually TRUST Him, TRUST Him enough to simply OBEY Him? Remember the words of James,"You believe that there is One God? Good! Even the demons believe that-and shudder."James 2:19. The demons however, DO NOT trust Yahweh God, thus they disobey and are rebels, bound for destruction. 

Let our study of Hebrew Theology start here, with faith and trust in the perfect nature and character of our heavenly Father, for the more we trust in him, the more we will obey Him.

HalleluYah!
