THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD I SHALL NOT WANT.....PSALM 23:1.

BAR CODES OR BIBLE FAITH?

I want to get back onto this word........faith.......a word so often used by many people but how many really know what it means and how many actually walk by faith and how many only think they walk by faith and how many simply just use the word....faith....like dangling a carrot before the hungry and the ambitious?........2 Peter 2:1-3.

Bar codes and bible faith have no seemless connection that I can find within the writings of the holy bible, then again I have only meditated upon the writings of my Lord Jesus for around sixteen years......Acts 17:11.

Bar codes are those little things that you find on articles in department stores, shops and places that require a certain amount of monies in exchange for that particular item. Bar codes can also be found on the backs of books, videos, audios etc. I want to make mention of a particular man who told of the great faith that a certain man had and some of his faith filled journeys and when he passed me one of this faith man's books, the first place I went to was the back cover.

And what did I find there?........a bar code.On seeing this I instantaniously saw that this so called faith man was yet another minister selling the fables of men and women. Real faith, bible believing faith would be ashamed to put a bar code, price tag on a revelation from God.................2Corinthians 2:17.

How many so called greats of the faith have just blinded the religious world with their fast talk and table manners while they have deceived the gullible church goers into believing that they walk on this........seemingly high level of faith....yet the simple bar code test exposes them to have no more faith in God almighty than those of the world........................Galatians 6:12.

A simpleton could understand that if a man or a woman is going to spruik about how much trust they have in God for their provision, protection, prosperity and fulfilment of their calling, they can by no means place bar codes, price tags and red light specials on their products, least they contradict themselves and be found liars......1Timothy 6:20, 21, 2Timothy 3:9.

Where abouts in the holy bible do you find any of the holy men and women of God selling the revelations of the almighty saviour?.........Matthew 10:8.

Faith is men and women surrendered to God. Fear is men and women thinking that they will lack even though God, the God they say they know so well and trust so much has told them time and time again........the lord is your shepherd you shall not want / lack. There is no place to hide when the light of his truth shines upon your life. Father has said that their folly will be made manifest to all.

Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus just to take him at his word just to rest upon his promise just to know......... thus says the lord!...........

Amen.
