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"

Fear of death, no fear but faith prevails

2 Corinthians 5:8 (KJV):   “We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.” True life experience.   While out, I came across an acquaintance I had been with in a fellowship some time back.   His name is Bob, he reported that his wife of nearly fifty years had passed.   He explained his sorrow in her passing and then went on to say this.   The personnel in the hospital knew by Bobs witness that they were both in Christ, believers of the gospel.   She, his wife was kept heavily sedated and was most always comatose.   Just before she passed, with in minutes of her departure she became totally, fully awake, an elated smile came over her face with an unnatural glow and then passed.   I have always thought that when death comes those in Christ at that moment of passing experience the rapture.   They are removed from the bonds of time and are advanc...

Which Body?

  2 Corinthians 5:10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things  done  in  his  body, according to that he hath done, whether  it be  good or bad. Ephesians 4:4 There is  one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; The word “body” has many definitions.   In 2 Corinthians 5:10, Strong’s #4983 defines body as “used in a very wide application”. First look at 2 Corinthians 5:10, and remove the italics.   Italics are not scripture but an addition made by the King James translators to make the flow of or the reading of easier.   So, without the italics;   “ For we must all appear before the judgement seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things in body, according to that he hath done, whether good or bad.   My question was how do I define this word “body”.   Is it the physical body or as per Ephesians 4:4a; “...
