Are we living lives of spiritual emptiness, thinking we are fully immersed in the Gospel? As we face the days ahead, we must be able to recognize when the church has shifted from being the DWELLING PLACE GOD DESIRES to a structure shaped by the hands and ideas of men.

Even more importantly, we must ask ourselves a crucial question and answer it with honesty: "Is my own life divided by a desire for worldly modification, leaning toward humanism as a substitute for the Gospel, or is it truly bent toward GOD, being daily prepared as a temple for Him?"

Join us this morning to realign your soul with what it truly needs to be made whole: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZIoc-2grDsuHtyEj8z4j_Rz-HgZy267bhQJ #/registration

Understand the concept of church modification.
Identify the "MODERN DAY ATHENS" within us that has infiltrated the church.
Equip yourself with the tools to recognize deception.
Choose to separate yourself from these influences (Rend your hearts, reclaim your righteous mind).

Are we still standing in the CITY OF THE UNKNOWN GOD? Is this why so many LEADERS TODAY are finding themselves STEPPING DOWN due to moral failure, a corrupt Gospel?

Have we modified the structure for ourselves or ARE WE CONTENDING FOR WHAT is everlasting? Join The Scribal Conservatory Arts & Worship Center this morning at 11:30AM as we continue to disrupt and dismantle the church that man has built IN US and reclaim our RESURRECTION with Christ.

I am excited to announce that The School of the Scribe and The Scribal Conservatory will celebrate the life of Apostle Bernard Boulton on Sunday, July 28th at 11 AM here in the metro Atlanta area.

We will remember our friend and brother with a joyful celebration and a powerful reflection on his life and ministry. He was a founding member of the School of the Scribe and a pillar to our scribal family.

The Lord has honored so many of His people throughout the years who honored His word and pronounced it to the people. Apostle Bernard loved biblical parables, discussing parables in dreams, and revealing parables about legacy and fathering others.

The Lord said to me, "We remember the legacy of others in the faith because He has chosen to remember them." Therefore, we will remember (Z***R) what God accomplished through Apostle Bernard's life as his life touched ours.

Psalm 78 ESV says:
"Give ear, O my people, to my teaching; incline your ears to the words of my mouth! I will open my mouth in a parable; I will utter dark sayings from of old, things that we have heard and known, that our fathers have told us. We will not hide them from their children, but tell to the coming generation the glorious deeds of the Lord, and His might, and the wonders He has done."

Join us. Celebrate with us. Let's speak of the Lord and His goodness as we remember our brother and friend and establish a remembrance for him. We will be setting up a book scholarship program in his name through The School of the Scribe. Our first scholarship will be awarded in 2024 to help first-time authors launch.

SACRIFICE. It took me a while, but I grew to love this biblical term.

For a long time I couldn't appreciate it because I always saw it from the connotation of giving up something I wanted. I saw it in context of "obedience is better than sacrifice"... which can be viewed in a very begrudging way.

I had to grow in knowing that to obey God, means you are walking in place where sacrifices are IMMEDIATELY dealt with because you trust God. To MAKE A SACRIFICE is to decide to obey God, but there is a death and sometimes a whole process that takes us to a place where we are in obedience.

Abraham took God at His word with Isaac. It's this type of sacrifice that we all need. Let me explain.

The word sacrifice is often used ONLY in terms of what "we have had to give up." If our understanding is solely based on a dictionary meaning, this makes sense... and is partially a part of it. But it IS NOT the context of the biblical word that gives us its core foundation (which we must dig to discover and trust Holy Spirit to reveal.)

Genesis 3:21 is actually the FIRST USE of this word in the scriptures. Remember, the first blood sacrifice was not made by a man, but BY GOD himself. And that sacrifice, spoke to God's desire to reclaim humanity despite humanity's rejection of Him.

Read the scripture, I won't place it here. Study the passages leading up to it and finish the chapter.

When you read it, it might not LOOK LIKE "a sacrifice" at first it is... AND God was the first person to shed "the blood of animal" to cover the "nakedness" of humanity. The beauty in this is simple: God's chosen people were forgiven from the beginning.

A blood sacrifice was made and the first humans probably weren't even aware of what was happening in the midst of their shame.

THIS FIRST MENTION reveals something powerful to us about GOD and the back-drop of this word: qorbān” (קרבן). It IS a Hebrew word, directly from the language of God (the language HE DELIBERATELY CHOSE to introduce to us concerning his laws and precepts). The language itself is a tremendous unfolding mystery in its design, actual meaning and revelation to the chosen.

After study, you will find that the word is covenental in nature, not just an act or a deed that says "look what I have given up for my Father, my Lord." For the saint, it is a call to the altar, a declaration of NEARNESS OR CLOSENESS to God. In context to God, it means to draw near for the purpose of transformation, change. EVERY BLOOD SACRIFICE in scripture was a call to communion, covenant... restoration.

SACRIFICE is a declaration of of action, decision in the context of this post.... and a determining to be close to God, and we already know God is a consuming fire.

As believers of Jesus Christ and his way, we love talking about the sacrifices we make in our journey with Him. Now, when you look at those "actions"... what you should see is HOW THEY CAUSED YOU TO BECOME CLOSER TO HIM. If you can see that from the perspective of a trasformative life, then you have really made a sacrifice worthy of the Father and will continue along that path.

We should see what was BURNED AWAY in the fire of His Spirit and what was TRANSFORMED IN OUR LIVES... AND CONTINUES to be transformed.

Transformation is all about SACRIFICING as God sees it. It is more about not having a will except His, not just giving up our will. There is a difference.

This perspective is far better than bragging from a place of works and ritual. We should know better than anyone elsemhow powerful this action is. But I tell you, it gives us no bragging rights.

Jesus said this in HIS FIRST USE OF THE WORD (which mirrors God's actions with the skins): “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.” The command, "follow me," is a CALL of sacrifice. There are so many CALLS to sacrifice after this pattern in God's word.

Matthew 16:24-25 is another call for the biblical concept of sacrifice. Jesus said, “If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me and for the gospel will save it.”

From now on, when we see commands and concepts like this from Genesis to Revelation, we should see them through the eyes of the Father.

We should be encouraged in knowing that EVERYDAY we have the opportunity to know THIS WAY BETTER, because in truth, many of us fall short here... as we rend our works instead of our hearts, our minds.

My prayer today is that we embrace what sacrifice really means from its depths. That we covenant its meaning in our hearts... and see the "verb" take root... not just the "adjective"....

I pray we understand what the altar looks like and why the blood is just as much a conversation today... as it was on THAT DAY when God was the first to shed blood and cover humanity -- wrapping us in the promise of the man-made altar and burnt offerings... and now how this translates through Christ and the covenant within us.

God does not operate on Websters dictionary or human contrived ideas about love. He makes room for our emotional state of being as we grow, but he is never the author of emotionalism. This is human force that, without the power of the Spirit, will become a deceptive force in our lives and give way to the double mind, chaos, confusion, etc.

The term “ahavah” - Hebrew word used to define the God kind of love - most accurately reflects what this word means. It is a part of the language of God from the original scriptures.

It is THE WORD I use to speak of God and His love for us. It is also a word I encourage those I lead to hold on to and study deeply.

It does not compete with “agape” but is actually where we get the concept of “God is love.” “Ahavah,” as sons have taught it over the years from Greek perspectives. It foes, however give us the original meaning which never changes: “marriage covenant.”

His banner over us IS A COVENANT OF ETERNAL MARRIAGE. IT IS BASED ON HIS LIKENESS AND IMAGE, NOT WHAT WE CONE UP WITH.

God has covenanted with us in a marriage covenant. REST THERE IN THE WORD.

Just as when God says "hate," it is not our human understanding of despising something. It literally means He has no covenant with that thing or that He has broken covenant. MARRY WHAT I LOVE AND UNCOVENANT WHAT I DO NOT COVENANT.

KINGDOM LANGUAGE, not humanistic.

This is why disobedience, rebellion, idolatry, divorce, etc., are problems to God. It is all about legal covenant from an eternal perspective, not our ideas and dictionary meanings.

Covenant to God is about eternal agreement when He makes covenant. Think of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, etc. Marriage has never been an earthly covenant to God, who is a Spirit. It has always been of the Spirit.

Every legal and binding agreement—natural or spiritual—in the eyes of God is spiritual. It is what makes our agreement with Him activate provision in us.

Anyway, this has been years of study for me at deep levels for many, many reasons.

The point of this post is simple: When we say God loves us, we are acknowledging His eternal marriage covenant with us.

Covenant to God is not based on anything we feel but on how we covenant back to Him. He made it simple too. John 14:15 says, “If you love Me, keep My commandments.”

All scripture is about His expectations of “keeping covenant” as He sets it forth. Remember the mass divorce? Remember the issue of idols and yoking with unbelievers? Remember the blotting out of people? Remember the conversation about separating wheat from tares, goats from sheep, wolves from sheep?

It is to protect His covenant, not our human-formed ones.

“Ahavah” is a concept the body really needs to grasp. Why? Because when we say God loves us, we are declaring that “He covenants” and that “that thing” is going into eternity and is now eternal.

With this clarity, we won’t take this word so lightly.

Think about that. Study for yourself. I am not just talking or trying to sound deep. It is what scripture teaches when you dig for purity.

God said, “For I have loved you with an everlasting love!” The question is WHAT ARE WE COVENANTING in our own hearts? What are we trying to make fit into His eternal Kingdom?

@ THE HOUSE OF JONATHAN provides a powerful vision of a “A HOUSE WITHIN A HOUSE.”

Saul reigned in revellion for 42 years under the great frace and mercy of God. Yet, he never learned how to please Him. The scriptures tell us that it was God’s intent that SAUL’S KINGDOM REIGN FOREVER. But he threw it all away in pursuit of His own will.

WITHIN SAUL’S HOUSE, there was another HOUSE BEING BUILT. The “House of the Lord” in His son Jonathan, who was faithful as Saul’s DNA son, but who grew to be loyal TO GOD as he watched his eradict and unstable father live from a double-mind.

Jonathan learned TO PLEASE GOD, he understood birthright, legacy and was a man of war like his DNA father. But when he learned that Saul was reprobate and another King would take his place, HE DID NOT BECOME OFFENDED OR ANGRY! HE WAS NOT OFFENDED! He did not question the loss of his birthright or legacy.

He understood that GOD, his true Father, would have a righteous King. THIS SON was so humble that robed DAVID himself - after they met, built relationship and he understood God’s plan.

IN HIS DNA FATHER’S HOUSE, he chose to protect God’s chosen son and stand with the Kingdom instead of blood.

JONATHAN WAS A HOUSE OF THE LORD (A DEELLING PLACE FOR GOD) INSIDE THE HOUSE OF SAUL )A REJECTED KING). And as he covenanted David (even at the expense of his relationship with his DNA father who was King, over the army, etc) HE COVENANTED GOD…

THE HOUSE OF JONATHAN provides a powerful vision of “A HOUSE WITHIN A HOUSE.”

Saul reigned in rebellion for 42 years under the great grace and mercy of God. Yet, he never learned how to please Him. The scriptures tell us that it was God’s intent that Saul’s kingdom would reign forever. But he threw it all away in pursuit of his own will.

WITHIN SAUL’S HOUSE, there was another house being built. The “House of the Lord” was in his son Jonathan, who was faithful as Saul’s biological son but who grew to be loyal to God as he watched his erratic and unstable father live from a double mind.

Jonathan learned to please God; he understood birthright, legacy, and was a man of war like his biological father. But when he learned that Saul was reprobate and another king would take his place, he did not become offended or angry. He was not offended! He did not question the loss of his birthright or legacy.

He understood that God, his true Father, would have a righteous king. This son was so humble that he robed David himself—after they met, built a relationship, and he understood God’s plan.

In his biological father’s house, he chose to protect God’s chosen son and stand with the kingdom instead of blood.

Jonathan was a house of the Lord (a dwelling place for God) inside the house of Saul (a rejected king).

And as he covenanted with David, he covenanted with God…

THE DOUBLE-EDGED SWORD OF THE WORD

Heb 4:12 NKJV, For the word of God (JESUS CHRIST) is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of JOINTS AND MARROW and is A DISCERNER of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

This is a powerful scripture. Literal words COULD NEVER do this except we understand that this passage is ABOUT JESUS, THE LIVING WORD… NOT JUST A BOOK WITH WORDS ON IT.

We know that is true because vs 13 says it: “13 And there is no creature hidden from HIS SIGHT, BUT ALL THINGS ARE NAKED AND OPEN TO THE EYES OF HIM to whom we mist give an account.”

I want you to know that THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT IS “THE HOW” WE ARE CONTINUOUSLY PURIFIED AND IT IS “THE WHY” WE READ, MEMORIZE AND Z***R THE WORD. People can say what they want, but the ENTRANCE OF THE WORD in us is the initiation of everything.

The posture of RECEIVING becomes the catalyst for eternal change, the Potter’s Wheel position.

How can we say this? Well the WORKING OF THE WORD is about ABIDING IN THE WORD which is THE CHRIST. WE CAN SEE THE DOUBLE EDGES SWORD CLEARLY HERE AS IT BECOMES “JUDGE IN US” BY PRONOUNCEMENT OF CHRIST & HOLY SPIRIT.

This is critical because daily OUR HOUSES become the TEMPLE OF GOD’S VERY SPIRIT. WE ARE BEING MADE INTO HIS DWELLING PLACE.

Therefore, the Living Word is our constant catalyst.

John 15:1-4 NKJV says, “15 I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. 2 Every branch IN ME that does not bear fruit He [a]takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit. 3 YOU (those growing under CHRIST’S TEACHING whom he could testify) ARE ALREADY CLEAN BECAUSE OF THE WORD WHICH I HAVE SPOKEN TO YOU. 4 ABIDE IN ME, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me.”

JESUS as the WORD (in person as he spoke, literal in reading and rhema within us) was making judgments… from the persecutive of THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT.

THE DOUBLE EDGE (1) CONVICTS & BEARS FRUIT; (2) PIERCES INTO THE DEPTHS AND HEALS; (3) DIVIDES WHEAT FROM TARES, SONS FROM GOATS/WOLVES; (4) MAKES THE DOUBLE MIND ONE MIND WITH GOD; (5) IDENTIFIES AND EVICTS THE STRONGMAN AND SO FORTH.

Never let anyone tell you that THE SCRIPTURE IS TOO OLD, OUT DATED, IRRELEVANT, ETC. BECAUSE IT IS THE RESURRECTED JESUS, KING IF KINGS AND LORDNOF LORDS WITHIN US.

Acts 17:28 NKJV, “For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.”

JESUS SAID THIS: “But Jesus replied, “IT IS WRITTEN and forever remains written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, BUT BY EVERY WORD that comes out of the mouth of God.’”

REMEMBER, It is GOD WHO BUILDS THE HOUSE… and He uses HIS SWORD OF THE SPIRIT, ITS DOUBLE EDGE TO MAKE HIMSELF A DWELLING PLACE… within us.

Read THE word.
Study THE word.
Speak THE word.
ABIDE IN THE WORD.
DO NOT GROW WEARY IN THE WORD.
FOLLOW TEACHERS “OF THE WORD.”

End the battle of a strangers voice in your ear.

In due season, THE WORD will bear fruit as it IS JESUS AT WORK IN YOUR HEARING if you HUMBLE YOURSELF and are postured to receive.

Perseverance is another one my favorite words. I see this word as a "making" word. It is one of those verbs that bring outcomes to their fulness - especially when we are pushing through adversity and trusting God in the process.

It describes the posture of an overcomer. It speaks to those who believe that victory is belongs to them and who will not be denied its rewards.

Perseverance is a critical mind-set. Period. Without it, people are quick to quit, give-up or just let things happen. Perseverance continuously fortifies ENDURANCE, establishes a system of beliefs within us that pronounce victory before victory is visible.

Every soul the Lord shapes has it innately built on the inside of them if that soul can tap in. And when tapping in with the understanding of Christ, it is amplified in this imple understanding: "We can do all things through Christ who strengthens us."

Perseverance is a perpetual word. It grows with IN STRENGTH within us.
