Who Provides?



JEHOVAH-JIREH

In Hebrew “JEHOVA-JIREH is defined as “The LORD my Provider”.  The word “provider” as used here isn’t a given.  The item being provided must be believed to be authentic and is capable of doing what is promised.

Until one believes God [But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Heb 11:6] no spiritual and little physical profit is gained.  First then, what must one believe? That God is and what He says to an individual is important, is truth,  [Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. John 17:17].


Next, that He is faithful to do as promised [God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord. 1 Cor 1:9        There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. 1 Cor 10:13]  

As pertaining to; the item being provided must be believed, be authentic and is capable of doing what is promised.”  [In hope of eternal life which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began; Titus 1:2;      That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us: Heb 6:18]’  

What is being provided [For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, Titus 2:11] to all humankind and how is it to be received? [For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith. Rom 1:17] “And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;  to wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.”  
2 Corinthians 5:18-19.  That reconciliation is received by faith plus nothing.  

Sidebar:  I’m so glad its received by faith, none of me and all Him, He’s faithful, I’m surely not.  Him being God knew that from before the foundations of the world, what I was and what I’d do and made provision for me in weakness, “And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly, therefore, will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.”
 2 Corinthians 12:9.


To you that are (thinking) so spiritual what would you do if left to your own devices? [In those days there was no king in Israel: every man did that which was right in his own eyes. Judg 21:25].  God being love [for God is love. 1Jo 4:8b] and at the same time all knowing, all powerful, everywhere all the time, but also being righteousness, just and the justifier [to declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus. Rom 3:26]   Does what?  read it again:  [believeth in Jesus] believeth that one has sinned, agreeing with God [for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Rom 3:23]. And that all is needed is provided by God in Christ Jesus saying;  “Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;  by which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.  For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;  and that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:”  1 Corinthians 15:1-4.

 "For if when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son,  much more being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life"  Romans 5:10 


Just believe, He has provided all  "JEHOVAH-JIREH"

Was he saved? How?

  “The heart  is  deceitful above all  things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?”J eremiah 17:9   “ He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.” Psalm 24:4   All scripture references are taken from the Authorized (King James) Versions unless other wise noted. There was a man who once lived alone, he was what is often called a hermit a vagabond.   He had never been told of God, Jesus or the gospel as given from the Bible. He knew in his heart, that there was something, something outside himself, something was needed to make himself complete.   Several years previously while scrounging and looking for anything useful he discovered a Bible.   He put it away, safely where he lived and forgot about it.   Some years later there was a harsh winter storm, frozen deep snow had completely shut him in.   Although secure in his abode and safe from the destructive winter he would survive.   He had no electricit

Concluding then?

 I  have been doing these on this platform for now on 4 years.  Before I used other platforms since 2010 or thereabouts.  I have never had one question and only one comment in all those years.  I did have one correction when one reader observed that I had referenced 1 Corinthians when actually I should have used 2 Corinthians, that was about six or seven years ago.    I now place my thoughts and understandings on Facebook  In His service;   James Brown

Why the "authorized" KJV?

"Wherefore art thou  red in thine apparel, and thy garments like him that treadeth in the winefat."  Isaiah 63:2 [in context read 63:1-6]  " A certain man planted a vineyard, and set a hedge about it , and digged a place for the winefat,"  Mark 12:1b and c.   While listening to a recent TV minister I observed what I thought at the time a miss-spelling in the text of the Bible I currently use, in which I have found several.  It's a King James Version "Authorized", and have often wondered what's the difference between the given as "authorized" and the other not.   After some research and consideration, I saw this.  Thinking it was a textural error I checked several other KJV authorized and non-authorized finding they all used the word winevat.  But the authorized used both "vat" and "fat".  So why the disparity in the spelling and only used in those two places in scripture? To me, it was getting interesting.  I have lear
