Finishing up Proverbs 1. Thank you for taking a look †
(Proverbs 1:31-33) "Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices.
They are of course those who reject God's Word and ways, standards. Knowledge, wisdom, understanding. Turned their backs on God's correction, doing so stuck up their noses and become mockers, scorners. This is a decision they made. Of course, they do not fully understand the consequences of it. Seen here, also, satan's oldest trick in the book concerning consequences. You will not die he says. Forget the evil, your good deeds you do for self are sufficient. Exactly, what satan wants one to think. You are quite boring satan, and easy
Matthew 7 here. Remember satan was the tree of knowledge of good and evil with that evil fruit from a corrupt tree, from the very beginning? Just like you don't take in the fruit of false teachers, or anyone for that matter. They are figures of speeches to what first seems good to senses in pleasantness drawing in (looks being a big one) know there are consequences but turn a blind eye, like in the garden of Eden. Surely, garden variety there
(Genesis 3:6) "And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat."
Remember satan was not a literal talking tree. But another role he played in the garden as he was himself. Christ = The tree of life. Just like Matthew 7 they took in the fruit wholly being deceived. Not literal fruit. Flattery, words, what satan had to dish out.
Eating one's own fruit, a statement to show what fruit one dishes out comes right back on them.
Where else can I read satan was himself in the role of the tree?
(Ezekiel 31:8-9) "The cedars in the garden of God could not hide him: the fir trees were not like his boughs, and the chesnut trees were not like his branches; nor any tree in the garden of God was like unto him in his beauty.
9I have made him fair by the multitude of his branches: so that all the trees of Eden, that were in the garden of God, envied him."
To even understand Scripture we have to understand satan's names/roles. Christ roles first and foremost to understand satan's roles. Shown to give us characteristics of course. Just like in life we have many roles.
To Proverbs 1:32,
32For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.
(Now check this out. The simple we have been through. They are easily persuaded just like the garden of Eden, but now seen from this fad to that fad. This belief to that belief, this philosophy to that philosophy to suit their needs, purpose, flesh, at that given time. Never on solid ground, and ground with Gospel shoes on as well. But all these world philosophies are the same in comparison to Christianity. How is that? God in the flesh never came in any them, paid the price for you for free to give eternal life. They all require you do something to be accepted. Showing the distinct difference in the love of God, and man's fallacies in illusion through satan what can be made up in vain in a chase of love distorted to flesh that can never be reached. In that way, consider love the carrot on the stick. While Christ has already given the carrot and we refuse to eat. Like little babies pushing it away.
Time to get healthy.
You see when you have to do something to be accepted you never know how much, no guidelines. Just look at a relationship you been in. Always looking for that acceptance but never knowing. False hope, false security. So are false gods in idolatry of the flesh and flesh serving, co dependent. But this codependency is a figment of the imagination, but is really happening. And that is satan's tricks seen in the garden. Because he is a liar. A mirage maker. A complete fraud. Long on promise, no delivery (those who follow him do the same). Jesus = my deliver/savior Christ/Messiah = the anointed one).
God calls that mindless. Wanderers with no purpose, no hope. Remember they have turned their back on counsel here = Hope with purpose. They have false hope just as satan gives as well, seen in the garden. NO Consequences come with it. The very fact one does feel guilty and shame deep down are the condemning consequences.
Prosperity of fools = Seeing physical gain in the name of God so it deceives others. Thinking it is auto Godly. They are very simple. No thought but money and the flesh, serving it. The consequences never really taken thought. the consequences not even thought of while they are chasing. Because that is how hungry the flesh is in this world, without the Holy Spirit.
Slay in the sense of being murdered Spiritually by the sword, the very word of God does it. They shall fall by the edge of the sword. Yes, you need to be picking that sword up, the sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God.
Remember after the fall? Genesis 3:22? Christ in the garden of Eden with the swinging sword? No access to it, as Christ is the word of God. Because God prophesies in Genesis 3:15 our way out, and the cross, the crucifixion to then for us to have access to the tree of life and it's fruit, filling the fruit of our ways through Christ. Hope, purpose, satisfaction, contentment in life while we're here, able to live that and be truly thankful. Not complainers of things, murmurs, and the misery associated.
33But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet (be at peace) from fear of evil.
No noises, fear is buried (cast to ground just like satan, and buried. Make no funeral service for it either.
With that protection/security/great sense of well-being' confidence through faith being under Christ and that tree of life; Hebrews 2:14-15, now from there learning His ways in sincerity. Complete love (commandment one, commandment two, hence the fruits of the Holy Spirit there forth).casts our fear, thus bitterness beginning at the forgiveness of sins = Compassion; mercy; forgiveness = love.
Beginning at the cross and complete surrender not fighting the LORD no more. Surrender of our bitter walls of defensiveness against Him.
You want to be fruity-licious.
Let's therefore conclude if it was one's self in the garden of Eden and you serve the flesh, worship the flesh, self. satan has already talked you into it?
Don't we all say no Eve, Adam, don't go for it? Like watching a train wreck, but after the fact?
Now speak to yourself, see yourself.
