What should we speak: what we learned years ago or what Jesus reveal to us now?

[Leonardo Von]

What should we speak: what we learned years ago or what Jesus reveal to us now?

•    Pro 18:4  -> “The words of a man's mouth are deep waters; the fountain of wisdom is a bubbling brook.”.

Deep waters are full of contamination and pollution. After all, when we let the water stopped, all the dirt is deposited in the deep. Likewise, everything that the human being speaks, suffers influence of their past experiences (or, at least, it is influenced by it). 

At first, someone could think that this is good. The problem is that the Creator is a God of renovation:

1 – He renews His mercies:

•    Lam 3:22,23 -> “The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.”.

2 – He clean us, carrying out His washing of renegeration and renewal:

•    Tit 3:4-6 -> “But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior,”.

3 – He dressed us of the new “self” which is being always renewed in order to be able to know Him better (2Cor 4:16):

•    Col 3:10 -> “and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its creator.”.

4 – Our mind needs to be renovated: 

•    Rom 12:2 -> “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.”.

5 – Our days should be renewed:

•    Lam 5:21 -> “Restore us to yourself, O LORD, that we may be restored! Renew our days as of old”.

6 – Our strength ought to be renewed waiting in Jesus (Ps 37:4,7):

•    Isa 40:31 -> “but they who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.”.

7 – The Creator renew the face of the ground with His spirit:

•    Psa 104:30 -> “When you send forth your Spirit, they are created, and you renew the face of the ground.”.

8 – It is He who renews our youth:

•    Psa 103:2,5 -> “Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits, who satisfies you with good so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.”.

9 – The rectitude in our spirit needs to be renewed:

•    Psa 51:10 -> “Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.”.

Not to mention that “the fountain of wisdom” (Jesus – Col 2:3) is a bubbling brook, whose waters always renew.

Hence Paul said:

•    Php 3:13,14 -> “Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.”.

Although we ought to fill our mind with Jesus’ ken and wisdom, if the Holy Spirit didn’t vivify all of this with His presence, everything will be dead, useless.

So, with many things to show about Jesus and His wisdom, have a good day going every day to His throne of grace (Heb 4:16) in order to have, always, something new of Him to reveal and manifest to the world. Don’t stay held in your past. Remember that:

•    2Co 3:5,6 -> “Not that we are sufficient in ourselves to claim anything as coming from us, but our sufficiency is from God, who has made us sufficient to be ministers of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit. *For the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life* .”.

The basic message is Jesus saves.      That does not change.

 

the next message is stay in a close relationship with Jesus.

All other messages are varriations of these two.

 

              So keep telling the Old, Old story.

[JohnPaul88]

I believe we should speak what we have learned through Christ opening our eyes to the truth and what he reveals to us today, for indoctrination of the past and its Churches sometimes preach false teachings that we must let go of.

[Ani Tefillah]

"What should we speak: what we learned years ago or what Jesus reveal to us now?" 

If what I learned years ago is right according to the sum of the Holy Word, I will hold fast to it, and also what the Lord reveals to me today. 

Thank you for the share, as always!

What should we speak: what we learned years ago or what Jesus reveal to us now?     Whichever is the truth.
