thinking, because God said
that “As a man thinketh, so is
he.” My speaking, because
the words, I speak or desire to
speak is from God who is the
Word. My hearing, because
when we know the Lord, His
Spirit does, and will speak to
us and we should have ears for
hearing what the Spirit says to
us. My seeing, because God
has given unto us eyes to see
Spiritual things and we are not
to look at unspiritual things
and my taste, “O taste and see
that the Lord is good.” Ps.
34:8. Know in our inner man
the things of God.
Let's be wise in all of
life's ways - the things we
think, speak, hear, see, and
taste. God is waiting for us to
obey His will, as is done in
Heaven. Why not practice it
here and now. They tell me
that practice makes perfect
and who is our perfector?
(God), so first receive Him as
Lord and Savior of your soul.
Be still, and know Him by
allowing you to receive the
perfecting work He has to do
in your life, to prepare you for
the Pureness of Heaven itself.
