Acts 10:19 While Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said unto him, Behold, three men seek thee. 20 Arise therefore, and get thee down, and go with them, doubting nothing, for I have sent them. 21 Then Peter went down to the men which were sent unto him from Cornelius.
In very many instances, where true humility led persons to obey God’s word, we notice that explanations and reasons were only found out later, while the persons were in the process of actually obeying, and thus, like the mighty cherubs and Seraphim in Ezekiel’s vision, those who received God’s word were to go “straight forward” not turning as they went.
This is exactly what The Lord is looking for in our day as He prepares His army of spiritual soldiers to take on the behemoth of the beast and its systems that are soon to engulf all of humanity. Quick, unquestioning obedience is the first, and foremost prerequisite, and in lieu of this, we should ow be cultivating habits of ready obedience to any and everything God says.
Those hesitations, questionings, deliberations, and delays of former years, the clamor for explanations before we move on God’s word, and those scientific data, analysis and research that too often preempts obedience, would have to be resolutely put away. And instead, a primitive kind of godliness which acts quickly on all of God’s commands would need to be the rule rather than the exception, as it currently is in too many cases today.
Philippians 2:12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. 13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
