LEAVEN OF THE PHARISEES AND SCRIBES
My Precious Child,
After Jesus taught the first parables to the disciples and believers in the crowds, He left that district and came to His own home town where He taught in the synagogue in such profound ways that people questioned his wisdom and powers. They knew his earthly parents, could not believe His authenticity and so they did not accept Him. He was not able to do many miracles there because of their unbelief.
Later He went to another district and multiplied the loaves and fishes because there was great belief in those people. The atmosphere was spiritually charged and Jesus went to spend time in prayer alone, His disciples were in a boat and they were battling a rough sea. Jesus walked on the water toward the boat. Peter told Jesus Christ to order him to walk on the water toward Jesus. Jesus told Peter to come to him. Peter started walking on the water but when the waves became strong, he became afraid and started to sink. Jesus held His hand out to Peter and asked him why He doubted.
They all got in the boat and went to a place where faith was high and the people brought their sick to Jesus begging Him to let them touch the fringe on His coat. All who touched it were healed. (Matthew 14:22-36)
The scribes and Pharisees came and began to question Jesus, challenging His lack of obedience to their laws. They asked Him why His disciples ate without washing their hands when they ate food, which was against their religious traditions. Jesus answered them with a question, asking why they break My commandments for the sake of their own tradition. He reminded them that I told them to do their duty to their father and mother. The Law also said that anyone who curses his father and mother would be put to death, which was a human addition to the Law. Jesus told them that when their parents are in need of something, that the scribes and Pharisees tell their parents that they cannot help the financial needs of their parents because they have already dedicated their finances to Me so they are exempt from their duty to their parents. He compared them to the writing in Isaiah that says that their hearts are far from Me because they only give lip service to Me so their worship is worthless and the doctrines they teach are only human regulations. (Matthew 15:1-9; Isaiah 29:13)
Then Jesus called the crowds to Him and began teaching a related parable to them, speaking about what the Pharisees and scribes used to test Him. He told the believers to listen and to understand that it's not what goes in the mouth of a person that makes him unclean, but instead it's what comes out of a person's mouth that makes him unclean. He told the crowds of believers that any plant that is not planted by Me will be pulled up by its roots. He said to leave the Pharisees and the scribes alone, that they are blind men leading the blind and they would both fall into a pit eventually. (Matthew 15:1-20) In talking about a plant being pulled up by its roots, He was referring to the demons who were influencing the Pharisees and scribes to do evil, that those demons would, under My new covenant of the Holy Spirit when My kingdom of heaven came to live in My children and surround them, those demons would be pulled up and sent into the blazing fires of hell. (Matthew 13:36-42)
Peter asked Jesus to explain the parable to them, to which Jesus chided him, asking if even Peter didn't understand. Then He explained the parable to them, saying that what goes into the mouth of a person passes through the stomach and is discharged into the sewer, but what comes out of the mouth of a person is what causes the person to be unclean. He told them that from a person's heart comes evil intentions, murder, adultery, fornication, theft, perjury, slander and others, which are the things that make a person unclean. (Galatians 5:16-22) He emphasized that to eat with unclean hands does not make a man unclean. He was speaking about the words of the Pharisees and scribes, that they speak and teach in words that reveal that their hearts were unclean. (Matthew 15:10-20) The politicians, who are the Pharisees and scribes of your day, have never changed. They still speak in words that reveal their uncleanness.
It was on many occasions that Jesus Christ cautioned His disciples and other believers to be on guard to discern the speech, attitudes and actions of the Pharisees and scribes, the politicians of that time. Jesus knew that they were planning to have Him executed for blasphemy against religious laws and they were endeavoring to tempt Him to deny the importance of the religious laws. The Pharisees and scribes had made idols of the laws, placing them before My children and their efforts to be saved and healed. Many of My children have been killed for the very purpose that Jesus Christ was crucified, the politicians of your day have placing human traditions before My words of guidance.
Jesus had already taught that a man is either justified or condemned by his own words. (Matthew 12:36-37) James wrote that a person's words are set on fire by hell itself when the people bless Me but still curse his or her brother or sister. (James 3:1-12)
I created your world with My words. Your life and your personal world is created by your words. The positive ones bless you and your future and the negative ones curse you and your future. Your words of judgment because of religious traditions will return and curse you just like Jesus told His believers about the words of the Pharisees and scribes, that they will eventually fall into the pits that they have created for themselves by their words.
This parable is an important key of My kingdom of heaven once you enter into it. You must judge your own words before you speak them so that you will only speak words that which bring grace to the hearer. You must also judge the words of the Pharisees and scribes, the politicians of your day. Discern their words and their actions, whether they are from My heaven or from the devil's hell. If you accept them without reservation, you will end up falling into the pit along with them.
I came to earth to bring life. Follow the guidance of My words and you will inherit 100 fold of My blessings in this life and also in the world to come because you will have lived in My kingdom of heaven while you walk in the earth. (Mark 10:26-31)
Judge every word that comes from the mouths of religious politicians or you will fall into the pits they have created for themselves. My words bring life. Their words bring curses and death. The devil has his emissaries whom he sends to deceive you. More deception has come through religious/political mouths than through any other outlets because My children are reluctant to discern the spirits operating in their leaders. Remember that through a person's words he or she is either justified to be My child or they are condemned because they have chosen to become children of the devil by their lack of love and kindness. By the fruit of their mouths their true identities are revealed. (Ephesians 3:8-14)
My keys OF the kingdom of heaven as taught by Christ Jesus open to My children who follow My guidance every benefit that I have set aside for your inheritance while you live in the earth.
YOUR FATHER OF THE KEYS OF DISCERNMENT
