Cows

COWS


We are going to talk about cows and what are cows? Cows are herbivore plant eating animals. Another name for a plant eating animal is the word “ruminant” (Roo ma nant) which is any animal of a variety of hoofed, usually horned mammals, such as cattle, sheep, and deer, meaning having divided stomach and chewing a cud. Now you are properly wondering why I am talking about cows, just be patient I will soon show you. Ruminant is an even toed animal that regurgitates and masticates its food after swallowing. Most of these animals have four stomachs and you are properly wondering why I am still talking about cows, give me a chance to explain.

What I am taking about regurgitates, and masticating of food from these animals is because I am always saying as in the natural realm so it is in the spiritual realm, so I am going to use these animals to share with you how you should study the Word of God, or anything for that matter. To be come a great teacher of the Word of God, you must masticate and regurgitate the Word of God in order to bring forth the sincere milk of the Word of God for the babes in Christ.

1 Peter 2:2 King James Version
As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word that ye may grow thereby:

Mothers have to be careful what their babies drink, especially right after birth, mothers must give their babies sterile milk, milk that has no germs, and no bacteria, breast milk is the best type of milk to give a baby, in order for that baby to grow and be able to fight off diseases, because the immunities of the mother is in the breast milk of the mother. As in the spiritual realm so it is in the natural realm. A pastor must give a message to the church or babes in Christ that is pure and sterile no bacterial in the milk.

Again, cows are called “herbivore” because they have to digest the cellulose which is a tough plants material. However, herbivores show many adjustments; they are animals that are built physically for ingestion and digestion of plant food. A man or woman of God should be build for the ingestion and digestion of the Word of God; therefore they are able to give to the babes in Christ the pure Word of God.

However, cows and sheep possess a four-chambered stomach housing microorganisms that is able to break down the cellulose into a more digestible form, obtaining food and shelter in the stomach in return. In other words the cow or sheep will keep chewing and chewing and chewing until the plant is digestible for the babies. In addition, what ever the mother eats it will be in her milk.


Now I want you to understand this ok, most herbivores eat a variety of plants, but some herbivores are restricted to only one type of plant food and known as mono phagous herbivores. There are a lot of preachers and teachers that get their information about God from a lot of different sources, however, the minister of God must get his or her information from only one source that is the word of God and the word of God only and it must come from their own breast milk.

Spiritual Milestones Number Two - Develop Humility

Develop Humility Introduction
For the last couple of weeks I have been doing a teaching called “Spiritual Milestones”. I have been teaching this topic out of the booklet called, “Spiritual Milestones of Alcoholic Anonymous”. In addition, I have been explaining to my listeners, that Milestones were brick markers set along side of the road, with the emperor of that region name on the marker, letting a traveler know how many miles, they have travel on the kings highway.

If you listen to the archives or read any of the teachings, on this subject that I have taught, on BlogTalkRadio or Talkshoe, then you will know, that I also mention that we are all moving through space and time to a spiritual destination, and we need to have some spiritual milestones in place. After all we are all going into the spiritual realm whether we want to or not, because we are all living in dying bodies. Therefore, whether we want to accept this fact or not, the realities of life in the natural realm of living, is that we are born physically to die, and born again in the spirit to live. Last week we talked about eliminating sin from our lives. Our second, milestone is to “develop humility”.

Many in Alcoholic Anonymous cannot understand the spiritual aspect of A.A. program. However, to be able to understand the spiritual aspect of the program you must understand God, and in order to be able to understand God, you must be born again.


John 3

1. There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:
2. The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.
3. Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
4. Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?
5. Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
6. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
8. The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
9. Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be?
10. Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things?
11. Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.
12. If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?

You must be born again in order to be able to understand spiritual things; you must be born again in your heart, by the power of the Holy Spirit. However, before I go on, I must explain to you what the word “humility” means, I believe, we will be able to understand what God is saying through His Word, if we know the definition of certain words. Therefore, please be patience with me, while I try to explain to you what this word “humility” and what it means in the natural then what it mean accordingly to the Word of God.

The Little Booklet
In the little booklet called, A.A. Spiritual Milestones the authors of this book says, that the word “humility” is an abstracted in nature, and that humility is hard to pin down. The word “abstract” has four senses. However, we are going to talk about only two of the senses. 1. abstract -- (consider a concept without thinking of a specific example; consider abstractly or theoretically) if I had this viewpoint, it would be hard for me to be able to understand the spiritual aspect A.A. myself.

Therefore, we see that to the unspiritual, humility is an abstract idea, that humility is not something that they believe in because they cannot believe humility is tangible.


First “humility” is having a teachable spirit. It is the willingness to learn. It is keeping an open mind. Second, it is an inner feeling of unworthiness in the sight of God. Then the writer of this little book then speaks about what Paul stated to the church of Corinth.

I Corinthians 15:9-10 King James Version
9. For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.

10. But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.

In this portion of scriptures, we hear Paul talking about the grace of God bestowed upon him. Therefore, we learn that humility is grace given to us by God. Therefore, again we learn that the Bible considers humility in a person life, as the child of God, having a dependence on God, and who has learn to have respect for others.

Listen to the teaching of part one of “Spiritual Humility”.

The Beauty of the Breast-Plate of Righteousness

Ephesians 6:14 King James Version
14. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;

The breastplate was made of either bronze or brass. A brass breastplate with its golden color, when it was out in the sun it would shine and sparkles, God wants our hearts in Him to shine and sparkle. When a scrape or something rubs up against it, it would cause the breastplate to have a beautiful luster.
The beauty of the breastplate was always enhanced by the using of it, and in the walking in it. (Walking also means conduct).

In other words, the more scrapes that it got in the battles, you had fought in, when wearing it, the more elegant, the more refine and the more the breastplate would shine. This is how a believer in Christ Jesus should shine, because we have seen, God fight our battles and give us the victory therefore our righteous should shine, shine and shine.
