The Opening

In Matthew chapter 5:

1 And seeing the multitudes, He went up on a mountain, and when He was seated His disciples came to Him.

2 Then He opened His mouth and taught them, saying:

​3 ​​“Blessed are the poor in spirit, ​​For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

4 ​​Blessed are those who mourn, ​​For they shall be comforted.

5 ​​Blessed are the meek, ​​For they shall inherit the earth.

6 ​​Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, ​​For they shall be filled.

7 ​​Blessed are the merciful, ​​For they shall obtain mercy.

8 ​​Blessed are the pure in heart, ​​For they shall see God.

9 ​​Blessed are the peacemakers, ​​For they shall be called sons of God.

10 ​​Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, ​​For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”

And in Matthew chapter 7:

7 “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.

8 For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.

9 Or what man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone?

10 Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent?

11 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!”

FATHER is willing and eager to teach us by HIS Holy Spirit all Truth found in HIS Word.  Jesus was not reluctant to share the Gospel to those who sought Him out.  To knock means “a request to gain entrance”.  When Jesus opened His mouth, He was essentially welcoming those who had ears to hear to gain entrance into the Kingdom of GOD.  Those who are willing to be taught by Our Lord Jesus Christ will be given the opportunity to become His disciples and spread the Gospel to the uttermost parts of the earth.  Each of us must be willing to hear when The Holy Spirit opens the line of communication in order to lead us and guide us throughout each day.  We must not allow the “opened” mouths of carnal men to sway us into believing their doctrines and opinions which are contrary to FATHER’S Word.  In our society today, “fake news” is rampant and the truth is rarely expressed in a pure manner.

The world is a very complex place because mankind has caused it to be so.  No man or group of men can possibly sustain a society where all men and women are blessed and live in peace.  Only Our Heavenly Father has the capacity to restore peace on earth and goodwill toward all mankind.  This is why we must listen to and be led by THE SPIRIT.  There is no other solution to the problems we face today.  When FATHER opens HIS mouth to speak to us, let us receive HIS Words in spite of what man would have us believe.
