Hi everyone God bless you.....
Genesis 11: 1-10
Hello ...welcome to the Open Table...today we will be discussing the Tower of Babel..and being Spiritual.....
Although these scripture cover the Tower of Babel ..they dont tell much of what was really going on at the time.....it must of been an amazing thing as God came from His Abode in Heaven...to confound their languages..and spread them across the earth...
And they said one to another..let us build us a city and tower, whose top may reach unto the heavens...let us make a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth...
As we know as Christians our walk is built with Christ as the Foundation Stone, the Building Stone..Blocks...and the Capstone.....now the bible tells us this is how we follow in the footsteps of God...by making our house solid in the beginning with our Trust and Faith in Jesus Christ as our foundation and building blocks and of course our Cap Stone...the meeting of us with Jesus, the end of things as we know them...Redemption...Perfection of Sin ....the Wonderful Capstone..God...the Trinity.....For Eternity...Awesome God we Serve........As we follow in the footsteps of God we become the Spiritual and the Physical of God... combined making us the Image of God....A Christ Mind...Renewed and Clean....
Now when we read these scriptures they dont mention the Lord God as being the stones upon which we must build...this was of humankind...who decided without the help of God ....to build a tower becoming Spiritual on a level not of God...
So I believe this is where humankind uses the wells of the devil...building upon his house towards heaven ...with the pride that destroyed His walk with God in the first place...I believe we need to be careful who we choose to follow and with God as the Lead ...learn to discern what is of God and what isnt ...as we keep our walk with God......We do know the walk of the enemy is very easy...do as we want...take what we want...use what we want...etc...this is the Spiritual being built up from the Foundation Stone of satan...not loving our neighbours ...you know you are going down the wrong path...when your hatred of others surfaces.....hold on lets get it together and start the path off right...the bible tells us very clearly Jesus is the Way, the Truth, the Light....Yes with Faith as our Foundation Stone...it is where we begin our Spiritual Walk...building the Right Tower so to speak...
Where do we find the Faith to begin ....well the Will of God clearly states the Word of God is Beginning of all Wisdom and Knowledge...and this is not an easy task...why do you suppose Gods keeps saying over and over ...seek and I shall be found of you......knock and door will be opened...finding God is not easy..when you dont know where to begin...I believe we need to Start by Building Ourselves up in the Word...is it not amazing that it was the words..the language God uses to tear down the wall of the enemy at the Tower of Babel ...if they cannot speak the same words ....how can they continue on the wrong path they are persuing.....
At the Tower of Babel was it a time when humankind could speak with the dead..use black magic...being Spiritual without the guidance from God...it does mention in these Scriptures the imagination....wow that can cover a lot of things in life....have you ever used your imagination to see the things you want in life..I used to years ago before I learned about God ...today we use our imaginations for the wrong things....movies, video games, the porn industry...the list can go on...we know this is the wrong road...when our imaginations can be used for such things..
.To over come this we must start with the Word of God...God does not tell the Truth.....I believe He is the Truth...without any doubt in my Mind...I know it is God ...the Creator...God of Wise Counsel...the God of all Humankind...who show us the way...and He gave us the Gift of Imagination to follow Him on the Journey to Redemption...The Lamb as the Foundation Stone for purity and becomeing as White as Snow ....do we think this is out of reach..? not at all it is the Word of God that Starts the process to Begin this cleaning so to Speak...if we read and meditate on the word..using the Imagination with our Faith, Christ shows us how to use His Word to tear down the things of the emeny and shows us how to replace that with the Renewal of Our Minds...Imagination ...just one of the Ways...
Humankind was allowed to see and feel the Ways of God back at the Tower of Babel but , did not start building from the Foundation Stone of God..they chose the other way...how many of us ...want to go the easy way......I find so often I have to call upon God to renew my Strength , because I have been torn down by the enemy...(it is not flesh and blood we fight)..do you think I am crazy...well your not alone...many people who follow God are accused of just this....Is there anywhere a person can Speak up and say Praise the Lord ...even in churches...we will get kind of weird looks from true believers...and being uncomfortable ...cause us to shut down the Spiritual Worshipping inside us...not so loud ...even in the Presence of God we are told to quietly worship and praise...is it not a wonder why we have a hard time following God...it leaves us open to such abuse , even from Christians who say they believe...
As we Read , Learn and Grow in the Word it teaches us how to begin building the Proper House with the Foundation Stone , God...it is the word that teaches us how to defeat the enemy and learn to grow in Wisdom and the Knowledge of God...it is the Word that teaches us to use Christ's Authority, Blood and Name with the Prompting of the Holy Spirit nudging us in the Right Direction....
At the Tower of Babel , humankind used their imaginations to build the Tower upon the foundation of the enemy...still today..the enemy leads us to build the Tower without Christ...this cannot be done...if we do not have ourselves grounded in Christ...the House will not last...the ememy will tell you and show you the wonders of His beautiful house ...filled with gold , silver, precious stones...material worths of this world....his houses can be very beautiful and seem forfilling but it is all a dream......reality escapes the enemy....
If you want to start the Journey with a Spiritual God and learn the Power of the Spiritual Christ whom we follow it all begins with the Word of God...
Use your imagination to imagine the Blood of Jesus "Christ over the a Sick person in Your Life....use the Authority of Jesus name to pray and bless other in your life...these are the Building Blocks given to us by God when we use our Imagination the Proper way.....
Make God the Foundation Stone, the Building Blocks and the Capstone...this is the kind of House I try my best everyday to build...and yes I can sometimes get side tracked by the gold, jewels and glitter that make my house look wonderful..but in the end we know it will come Tumbling Down ............
As did the Tower of Bable........Amen and Amen...
Thankyou Lord God with Your Wisdom and Knowledge that I use the Right Building Materials to Build My House...and thankyou for Your Glory Upon My House..You are Worthy to be Praise and Worshipped...
Praise the Lord God...He is the Truth, the Way, the Light
