  MID-WEEK MANNA FROM PASTOR NAT’S DESK:
  August 7, 2024

  The Third Person of the Godhead Series – Part 22

  CHANGES THE HEART OF ThE INDIVIDUAL IN THE NEW COVENANT

  For a more accurate and comprehensive context of verses 26, 27, I quote here for the convenience of the reader Ezekiel. 36: 16-27, KJV. After reading all, close with 1 Sam. 10: 6, 9 which clearly reveals the efficiency, office, and work of the Holy Sprit since the very beginning to the close of earth’s probation in the sealing of the saints of the church triumphant! Now this (all emphasis and bracketed words mine]:

    “Moreover the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, son of man, when the HOUSE OF ISRAEL dwelt in their own land [the Promised land, earthly Canaan], they DEFILED it by their OWN way and own doings: their ways was before Me as the UNCLEANNESS OF A REMOVED WOMAN. 
  
   “Wherefore I poured My FURY [divine righteous indignation and enmity against sin] upon them for the BLOOD THAT THEY SHED UPON THE LAND, and for their IDOLS, wherewith they had POLLUTED it [the promised land]. 
  
   “And I scattered them among the heathen, and they were dispersed  through the countries: according to their WAY and according to their DOINGS I JUDGED THEM [cause/reason of the desolation and diaspora].”
  
   “And when they entered unto the HEATHEN, whither (wherever) they went, they PROFANED MY HOLY NAME, when they [Israel] said to them [the heathen countries/nations], these [referring to themselves] are the PEOPLE OF THE LORD, and are gone forth out of His hand.
  
  “But I [God says] HAD PITY FOR MINE HOLY NAME, WHICH THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL HAD PROFANED AMONG THE HEATHEN, WITHER THEY WENT. 
  
  “Therefore say unto the house of Israel, ‘Thus saith the Lord God; I DO NOT DO THIS FOR YOUR SAKES, O house of Israel, BUT FOR MY HOLY NAME’S SAKE, which ye have profaned amount the heathen, wither ye went. 
  
  “And I will SANCTIFY MY GREAT NAME, which was profaned among the heathen, which wad profaned AMONG the heathen, which ye have profaned in THE MIDST of them; and the HEATHEN SHALL KNOW THAT I AM THE LORD, saith the Lord God, when I SHALL BE SANCTIFIED IN YOU BEFORE THEIR EYES.
  
   “For I will take you FROM AMONG the heathen, and gather you out of all the countries  [as in, ‘come out from among them’] and I will bring you into your own land [the final Promised land of the heavenly Canaan of the ‘earth made new’]. 

  Here is the true preparation included in the complete and comprehensive plans of redemption in order to finally enter and inherit—no longer the restless, turbulent, and bloodied earthly Promised land of fallen, sin-cursed earth—but the eternal Promised Land of Paradise restored in the earth made new:

   “Then I will sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean from all your FILTHINESS, and from all your IDOLS, and I will cleanse you.
  
  “A NEW HEART also will I give you, and a NEW SPIRIT will I put within you: and I will take away the STONY HEART out of your flesh [yet mortal flesh nature], and I will give you an HEART OF FLESH [in contrast to stone-cold, carnal, stubborn heart]. 
  
  “And I will put My [Holy] SPIRIT within you, and [The Holy Spirit will] CAUSE [convict; convince; empower] YOU TO WALK IN MY STATUTES [no longer ‘after the flesh’ Rom. 8:1-16], and ye shall KEEP MY JUDGEMENTS, AND DO THEM [‘Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God and have the faith of Jesus,’ Rev. 14:12].” 

  Now compare the foregoing with Heb. 8. 6-12; 10: 15, 16. Note that in the prophetic language of “sprinkling with clean water;” water, as in the former and latter rain, is one of the other symbols of and/or manifestations, works, and fruits of the Holy Spirit, which are: the dove, oil, and wind.

  To be continued next MWM, God willing. Bless all, NMF.

  The Third Person of the Godhead Series – Part 21: HIS EFFICIENCY: COMFORTS, STRENGTHENS COMPREHENSION, UNDERSTANDING, MEMORY
  by Pastor Nathaniel Fajardo

  MID-WEEK MAMNA FROM PASTOR NAT’S DESK;
  July 31, 2024

  The Third Person of the Godhead Series – Part 21

  HIS EFFICIENCY: COMFORTS, STRENGTHENS COMPREHENSION, UNDERSTANDING, MEMORY

  Read John 14:26 and 16:13, 14 first. Now this from the inspired pen (all emphasis and bracketed words supplied):

   “At all times and in all places, in all sorrows and afflictions, when the outlook seems dark and the future perplexing, and we feel helpless and alone, the COMFORTER will be sent in answer to the PRAYER OF FAITH. Circumstances may separate us from every earthly friend; but NO circumstances, no distance, CAN SEPARATE US FROM THE HEAVENLY COMFORTER [the Third Person of the Godhead]. 
  
   “The disciples still FAILED TO UNDERSTAND Christ’s words in their SPIRITUAL SENSE, and again HE explained His meaning. By the [Holy] Spirit, He said, He would MANIFEST HIMSELF to them. ‘The Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in My name, He shall TEACH you all things.’ NO MORE will you say, I cannot comprehend. NO LONGER will you ‘see through a glass (mirror)  darkly.’ [1 Cor. 13: 12]. You shall be able TO COMPREHEND with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; and to KNOW THE LOVE OF CHRIST, which passeth knowledge.’ Eph. 3:18,19. 
  
  “The disciples were to BEAR WITNESS to the life and work of Christ. Through THEIR WORD He was to SPEAK to all people on the face of the earth. BUT in the humiliation and death of Christ they were to SUFFER great trial and disappointment. That AFTER this experience their word might be ACCURATE, Jesus promised that the Comforter should ‘bring all things to REMEMBRANCE, whatsoever I have said unto you.’ 
  
  ‘I have yet SO MANY THINGS to say unto you,’ He continued, ‘BUT YE CANNOT BEAR THEM NOW. Howbeit, when HE, THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH, IS COME, He will guide you into ALL TRUTH: for He shall NOT speak of Himself; but whatsoever He shall He HEAR, that shall He SPEAK; and He will show you THINGS TO COME. He shall GLORIFY Me: for He shall RECEIVE of Mine, and shall SHOW it unto you.’ (John 16:13,14). 
  
   “Jesus had opened before His disciples a VAST TRACT OF TRUTH. But it was MOST DIFFICULT for them [and us, too!] to keep His lessons DISTINCT from the TRADITIONS AND MAXIMS of the scribes [Jewish religious scholars] and Pharisees. They [the first disciples themselves] had been EDUCATED to accept the teachings of the rabbis as THE VOICE OF GOD, and it still HELD A POWER OVER THEIR MINDS, and MOLDED THEIR SENTIMENTS. EARTHLY IDEAS, TEMPORAL THINGS, still held a large place in their thoughts. 
  
   “They did NOT UNDERSTAND the SPIRITUAL NATURE OF CHRIST’S KINGDOM [how about us today?] though He had SO OFTEN explained it to them. THEIR MINDS HAD BECOME CONFUSED. [Such is the soul-destroying results of the doctrinal Babylonian confusion warned of in Revelation!] 
  
   “They did NOT COMPREHEND THE VALUE of the Scriptures Christ presented. [even much worse today]. Many of His lessons seemed ALMOST LOST upon them. 
  
  “Jesus saw that they did not lay hold of the REAL MEANING of His words. HE  COMPASSIONATELY PROMISED that the HOLY SPIRIT SHOULD RECALL THESE SAYINGS TO THEIR MINDS. 
  
   “And He had LEFT UNSAID MANY THINGS that could not be comprehended by His disciples. THESE ALSO WOULD BE OPENED TO THEM BY THE [Holy] SPIRIT. The Spirit was to QUICKEN ThEIR UNDERSTANDING, that they might have an appreciation of HEAVENLY things.” - E. G. White, Desire of Ages, pp. 669-71, Pacific Press Publishing Asso., New Ed., Thirteenth Printing, April, 1950. 

  To be continued next MWM, God willing. Plead for the daily baptism of the Holy Spirit, with fire! For “Wherever sin is, our God is a consuming fire!” Bless all, NMF.
