EVIL HIDDEN WEEDS - by DianaDee Osborne

PARABLE:
Beautiful green blades shooting up in friend's yard look like lush grass.
I
learned long ago that they're nasty sharp BURRs
that spread "like crazy"
if ignored.
So I warned her--
and now it's up to her whether to pull
them out.
SO WHAT ??
God calls us to LEARN truth --
SO WHAT ??
God calls us to LEARN truth --
& then HELP others.
And to be humble enough to
(1) step back if person disagrees, and to
(2)
LISTEN when others take time to to teach us what THEY've learned.
We
can always research for ourselves-- like the Bereans did for all of
Paul's sermons about Jesus being Messiah. (Acts 17:11).
WE MUST BEWARE OF EVIL WEEDS EVEN IN "CHURCH"
("synagogue" = "gathering together place")
And pray for God's WISDOM to know which people are like EVIL BURRS, and which speak Truth.
What does LORD God say ?? -- ACTS 17 EVIL WEEDS IN the "church"
What does LORD God say ?? -- ACTS 17 EVIL WEEDS IN the "church"
After hearing about Jesus as Messiah ....
Prayer:
LORD God who is named YHWH (You said in Isaiah 42:8 Hebrew),
5 But the Jews who were not persuaded, becoming envious,[OTHERS IGNORING THEM]
took some of the evil men from the marketplace, and
gathering a mob,
set all the city in an uproar and attacked the house of Jason,
and
sought to bring them out to the people. 6 But
when they did not find them, they dragged Jason and some brethren to
the rulers of the city, crying out,
“These who have turned the world
upside down have come here too. >>>
[THEN THESE "EVIL WEEDS" LIED: ]
7 Jason has harbored them, and these are all acting contrary to the decrees of Caesar,
saying there is another king—Jesus.”
8 And they troubled the crowd and the rulers of the city when they heard these things....
10 Then
the brethren immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Berea.
When they arrived, they went into the synagogue of the Jews.
11 These
were more fair-minded than those in Thessalonica, in that they received
the word with all readiness, and
searched the Scriptures daily to find out whether these things were so.
12 Therefore many of them believed, [those within the synagogue - vs 10]
and also not a few of the Greeks, prominent women as well as men.
13 But
when the Jews from Thessalonica learned that the
word of God was
preached by Paul at Berea, they came there also and stirred up the
crowds.
Prayer:
LORD God who is named YHWH (You said in Isaiah 42:8 Hebrew),
Help me to know TRUTH.... Help US to know TRUTH.... to know which people are like
EVIL THORNY WEEDS seeking to destroy or hurt us.... Just because they want to.
We pray James 1:5 for wisdom. We run from lies and TO You, God: James 4: 7-8.
