See, Taste, Hear, Smell, Touch

Heb. 5 v 14....But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil....

As Christians we must use all of our five senses to discern between good and evil. We must be mature in our senses. In other words we can not stay on milk like new Christians but rather we need every Word of God to help us to grow and mature. We need to get back to the basics and quit making something so simple, so difficult as to how we are to live our lives as Christians.

I am just going to give a few verses to show you what I mean, the direction I am trying to go with this and then you can take it from there and open up your Bible and get the instructions for yourself. Feed on His Word. AMEN!

Matthew 5 v 8...Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.....

1 Sam 16 v 7....But the Lord said to Samuel, do not look at his appearance or at his physical stature, because I have refused him. For the LORD does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart......

We being children of God should now be able to see with our hearts, and with the compassion of Christ and not with our natural sight. AMEN!

Ps. 34 v 8...Oh taste and see that the LORD is good; Blessed is the man who trusts in Him...

PS 119 v 103... How sweet are Your Words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth....

We are blessed who taste of His word. AMEN. How can we taste of the sweetness and then allow bitterness in ourselves?

PS 85 v 8....I will hear what God the LORD will speak, for He will speak peace to His people and to His saints;.......

Ephe. 4 v 29.....Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers....

This verse includes you as being one of the hearers of what you say.

Gal. 3 v 2...This only I want to learn from you; did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?.....

Rom 10 v 17...So then faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God....

Without the Word, we might as well not hear. If all you hear is what is going on around you, and you are not in the Word of God daily hearing what He has to say, you would be better off not hearing. AMEN!

2 Cor. 2 v 15....For we are to God the fragrance of Christ among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing....

Ephes. 5 v 1-2....Therefore be imitators of God as dear children. And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet smelling aroma.....

We want to always be a sweet smelling aroma to God, and we can only be that by following His Word. AMEN!

Acts 8 v 17...Then they laid hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit....

2 Tim. 1 v 6....Therefore I remind you to stir up the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands.....

God's word is full of instructions on how to live day by day, we are called to be ambassadors of Christ, we need to be out there exercising our senses, and using them for the LORD. Please read and study the Word on each of your senses. Notice the Word will tell us what to not look upon, what not to taste, what not to listen to and who to stay away from so that life will go well for us. AMEN!

Ephes. 5 v 3-10....But fornication and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as is fitting for saints; neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor coarse jesting, which are not fitting, but rather giving of thanks. For this you know that no fornicator, unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolator, has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God. Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. Therefore do not be partakers with them. For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the LORD. Walk as children of light for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness, and truth, finding out what is acceptable to the LORD.......

We want all the fruits of the Spirit. AMEN!

Stay in the WORD!
