Listening To The Teaching Of God-Lisa Patterson


Isaiah 28:23 says to give ear and hear my voice. Listen and hear my speech. Does the plowman keep plowing all day to sow? Does he keep turning his soil and breaking the clods? When he has leveled it's surface does he not plant the wheat in rows, the barley in it's appointed place? For he instructs him in right judgement. His God teaches him.
The Lord of host is wonderful in counsel and excellent in guidance. Isaiah 28:14 says scornful men are worse than fools, beyond choosing what is bad, they despise what is good.
Isaiah 28:16 is a Cornerstone in Zion. "Therefore says the Lord God, behold I lay in Zion a stone for a foundation. A field stone, a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation." Who believes will not act hastily. Also I will make justice the measuring line and righteousness the plummet. The hail will sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters will overflow the hiding place. Your covenant with death will be annulled. And your agreement with Sheol will not stand.
You were made to be controlled by God, not man or the enemy. We were only made for God and for His pleasure alone. If you go the way of the Egyptians, you will be controlled by the devil. Give your whole life to Christ or you will not be completely happy. You may do this or that for a while, but then you will have to come back to what he's called you to do. Your agreement with Egypt will not stand. For the bed is too short to stretch out on. And the covering so narrow that one cannot wrap himself in it.
The Lord will rise up and he will do his work, His awesome work, and bring to pass his act, his unusual act. Do not be mockers. lest your bonds be made strong. Do what the Lord says. Let him dominate your life. You will be miserable without Him. Do not let the devil lead you astray. He will intimidate and harden your heart! Your conscious will no longer bother you as your heart continues to harden. Then you will fall into his trap. It's a dangerous thing to harden your heart. There may not be another time to come to Him. You can't "fit or belong" except in Him. The time to come to Him is now. You must surrender your heart, will and mind to Him and then you'll have his best. This is Lisa Patterson with the Good News that Jesus loves you and wants you now.
