Before you eat place a small drip of honey on every one's finger, have them taste the honey.
Eat
Study begins
It is great getting to know one another. I love the time we have in coming together and eating. It is a wonderful opportunity to get closer to our fellow sisters, but that is not the point of the night. I hope that we have come together to learn more about God and to fall madly in love with him.
Repeat after me:
Hear O Israel,
The Lord is our God, the Lord alone.
LOVE the Lord your God
With all your Heart
With all your Soul
With all your Might
Amen
Who are you and what are you doing here?
Really, who are you and why are you here?
Listen to me. The only reason we are here is so, that the world may know there is a God.
Isaiah 41
“I have placed you in this land that you may be my witnesses. That the world may know that I am God.”
In the Jewish custom, the Rabbi will come in, the first day of kindergarten and teach the children "The taste of God." He will take a small sheet of wax paper, place a small drop of honey on the paper. Then ask the children to dip their little finger in the honey and lick it off.
The bible is written so that you can see, smell and taste our Lord. He is real and he is here.
Now take your little finger, dip it in the honey, and lick it off your finger. Don’t ever forget, THAT IS WHAT GOD TASTES LIKE!
Honey is a metaphor for the sweetness of God.
Palm 81
“I would feed you with the best of foods. I would satisfy you with wild honey from the rock.”
There is enough of God in every rock, on every path of life, to help you take another step. It is often that God is the most intense during the toughest times. This is when he is the sweetest!
Honey is God. So what are we supposed to be?
You are the salt of the Earth.
What does this mean? What is the salt of the earth and how is it used.
NIV
Mark 9:49ff
Everyone will be salted with fire. Salt is good, but if it loses its saltiness, how can you make it salty again? Have salt in yourself, and be at peace with each other.
Luke 13:34
Salt is good, but if it loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is fit neither for the soil nor for the manure pile; it is thrown out and trampled by men.
Salt was mixed with the manure. Yes, you are to mix with the foulest of the world. But you are the reason the fire burns hot. The salt would make the fire burn hot. Every time the fire would burn out they would scrape the salt out then mix it again. After a while the salt would loose its saltiness, its ability to make the fire hotter. It would be thrown out. If you are not burning hot for God, you are more worthless than the manure itself. He will throw you out.
If the fire in your soul is not saying, “what ever I do, if it is not at its core, my way of showing the world there is a God.”
Have you lost your saltiness? Are you burning hot for God?
To keep the passion, you have to speak the word.
Stop reading only silently.
Talk about God. TELL, TELL, TELL
Psalm 103
Capture your heart.
Many people have God in their head. But their heart is a stone. Capture the FIRE in your soul so that you want to fill your head with the knowledge of God.
The way to a persons head is through their heart. Not the way to a person’s heart is through their head. If I can reach your heart, I can reach your head.
Let this word become a fire in my chest.
Revelation 10:9-10
“So I approached him and asked him to give me the scroll. “Yes, take it and eat it,” he said. “At first it will taste like honey, but when you swallow it, it will make your stomach sour!” So I took the little scroll from the hands of the angel, and I ate it! It was sweet in my mouth, but it made my stomach sour.”
If the word does not make you fall in love with God, what or who are you in love with?
Proverbs 16:24
“Kind words are like honey-sweet to the soul and healthy for the body.”
Proverbs 24:13-14
“My child, eat honey, for it is good and the honeycomb is sweet to the taste. In the same way wisdom is sweet to your soul. If you find it you will have a bright future and your hopes will not be cut short.”
When did the honey taste the best, before or after you were full? God’s word is the same. If you are hungry you will cherish what you read. Even the correction will be sweet to your spirit.
Proverbs 27:7
“Honey seems tasteless to the person who is full, but even bitter food taste sweet to the hungry.”
Do you find the sweet taste or are your experiences sour.
Psalm 19:10
“The laws of the Lord are true; each one is fair. They are sweeter than honey, even honey dripping from the comb.”
Listen to these beautiful words. Fall in love with your Lord.
Psalm 119
Oh how your Lord wants to sing for you. Do you know that he loves you? He wants to sing to you, his Bride. Can you feel him, can you hear him?
Zephaniah 3:17
“The Lord your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing.”
If you will let him he will sing to you the most beautiful love song you have ever heard. He desires for you to be his bride, his lover. I am in love with my Lord, my love. This is a call of lovers. He is in love with you. Are you in love with him?
