Continuing to Reason Together, Our Emphasis Remains on the Spirit of GOD.
REMINDER ANNOUNCEMENT:
There are a few basic questions that are essential for you to ask when studying a passage of scripture. They will prove themselves vital in your ability to rightly divide the Word of Truth.
Always ask yourself…
(1) Who is speaking?
(2) Who are they speaking to?
(3) Who or What are they speaking about?
(4) Who else (If anyone) is a party to the conversation, discussion, admonition, instructions, etc? Focus on the context.
(5) Does the statement make sense ‘collectively’? e.g., “and the Spirit of GOD hovered over the face of the waters.”
Are there any questions that should be asked here? Does anything stand out? Am I reading that as if I have complete understanding? Am I assuming I have complete understanding?
Is this poetry or prose? What exactly is meant by “hovered?” Is scripture just saying the Spirit of GOD loomed over the waters? Why is GOD suddenly introducing a Spirit? His Spirit? Why is He saying it that way?
If GOD had said, “…and I hovered over the face of the waters”, that would be expected, right? Being that He created the heavens and the earth, it just stands to reason that He hovered over the face of the waters, right?
Why is He talking as if His Spirit is separate from Him? Why is He deliberately and intentionally expressing Himself that way? Do I keep reading and act like I understand? assume I understand?
The study of Torah is about asking questions. The study of the Bible is not necessarily about asking questions. It depends on who you’re studying with and how you study. Typically speaking, a good amount of Christians, along with our loyal opposition read the bible as if they are reading a bible story.
I say that knowing completely, that this is how we are all brought up reading the scriptures… like a bible story. As if we are just reading a newspaper, or some ancient document that no longer applies to us. Hence, “Old Testament.” Which is another reason, I have observed, that we blackout on it’s message. Causing all the wisdom in it, to zip right over our heads.
For Christians reading this series, everything you want to know about GOD and Holiness, His Kingdom and how to operate in it, is in this Bible. While GOD does not author confusion, our approach to the knowledge of GOD can definitely cause confusion.
Which is why Torah study is predicated upon asking questions.
Asking GOOD QUESTIONS. The kind of questions that reflect an objective to understand the author’s intent of the the message. When we understand the author’s intent, we understand the prophetic agenda; and vice versa…
When we know the prophetic agenda, then we know the authors intent.
(6) What is the Authors Intent? What is the Prophetic Agenda of the Passage?, the Book?, the Chapter? etc.
The above is a list of some of the basic questions that you need to ask yourself every time you pick up a bible to study.
Answering these 5 basic questions every time, will help guide you in your ability to rightly divide the Word of GOD.
ARE YOU READY TO ASK A FEW GOOD QUESTIONS?
Take a look at these five scriptures from the Book of Ezekiel.
I’ve added a few bold highlights and indentations to help guide your focus on the passages of scripture below. Using the initial investigative questions listed above, make an analysis of the passages.
What information is revealed within each verse?
What pattern and/or message is revealed?
Is GOD referring to His Spirit separate from Himself?
Is GOD indicating that His Spirit has the ability to operate separate from Himself?
Is GOD speaking of His Spirit having a separate assignment?
And the Spirit entered into me when He spake unto me, and set me upon my feet, that I heard Him that spake unto me.
And I will put My Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in My statutes, and ye shall keep My judgments, and do them.
The hand of the Lord was upon me, and carried me out in the Spirit of the Lord, and set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of bones,
And shall put My Spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I shall place you in your own land: then shall ye know that I the Lord have spoken it, and performed it, saith the Lord.
Neither will I hide my face any more from them: for I have poured out My Spirit upon the House of Israel, saith the Lord God.
