Varnacular
Vernacular

Its origin is profound to say the least. Vernacular comes from the root word which means “a slave born in the master’s house, rather than abroad.” Keeping this root meaning in mind will then bring greater illumination and spiritual significance to the definition of vernacular. It describes the normal, common, or native language spoken in a province. It’s the vocabulary of the national or domestic language, as opposed to foreign words. In the world of architecture, vernacular refers to buildings that have domestic functions. Now let’s blend these high concepts together so we can extract the spiritual significance. Even if born a slave, it is completely natural to learn and adopt the language of the master or the culture; it is the functional choice. For what master would have his servant learn any language other than that which fosters perfect understanding of all that the master requires? Consider who your Master is, and then ask yourself: “What language am I speaking?”
You were born-again into the Yahweh’s house. Before that time you were separate from the Messiah, excluded from citizenship of Israyl and foreigners to the covenants of the promise. You were far removed until the shed blood of the Messiah made you a citizen. Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens of Israyl and also members of Yahweh’s household (Ephesians 2:12-13, 19). You were once bound to a different master and spoke a different language. Your new Master uses Kingdom vocabulary and speaks the language of Heaven when He communicates with you. Your redemption requires that you learn this new language, the native tongue that the Master uses to rule His domain (province). When you become a citizen who speaks the native tongue, foreigners will struggle to understand you. You will appear to them to be very peculiar (Deuteronomy 14:2; 1 Peter 2:9).
Be not dismayed that you all-of-a-sudden seem strange to these aliens. You are not being sent to a people of obscure speech and strange language, but to the people of Israyl. (Ezekiel 3:5) You are being sent to those who speak the same vernacular, slaves born again into the Master’s house who now speak the King’s language. Was this not precisely Yahweh’s instruction to Yahshua? But He answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israyl. (Matthew 15:24) The sheep being sought after have a name; it is Israyl! Whether born in the house and separated at birth, or a slave grafted in (read Romans 11), the language of Heaven is for those the Father calls Israyl!
The vernacular of the Kingdom of Heaven was never meant to be understood by the masses loved one; it was, however, meant to rule the masses. Behold, a king will reign in righteousness, and princes will rule with justice. (Isayah 32:1) Come out from among the nations; leave Babylon (differing tongues leading to inner confusion) behind (Revelation 18:1-4). Learn the language of Heaven. And if you are destined to rule, it is your work to perfect the vernacular. Perhaps then, “Thy Kingdom come” will be “Thy Kingdom has come!”
What language are you speaking?
Love’s Attributes (6) Love does not behave rudely
Love’s Attributes (6)
(#160 from Suffer Well Devotional Series©)

“Love does not behave rudely!” (1 Corinthians 13:5)
Love does not behave rudely, and therefore, Yahweh is not rude!
Everything in Yahweh’s Kingdom repeats in patterns loved one, and therefore, in your life as well. Through these patterns we can deduce many things about what our minds are saying and what our thoughts really mean. If you tend to be thinking rude thoughts towards someone, you do not “love” them! If you claim otherwise, either you or Yahweh is a liar. And last we checked, “Yahweh is not a man, that He should lie.” (Numbers 23:19) If you are indeed having rude thoughts, what are they really saying?
Is this not the whole crux of the matter? What does your rudeness say to Yahweh? You would do well to decipher this and walk it out to its end. “If you think rude thoughts, who are you truly bothered with?” If you let the Spirit prevail in the declaration that “He must increase, but you must decrease” (John 3:30), you will always discover that all of your rude thoughts and “mind issues” are with Yahweh Himself. The carnal mind is always at enmity against Yahweh! (Romans 8:7) And do not be deceived loved one; rudeness is carnal! Yahweh is the Creator of every aspect of your conscious and subconscious mind. Please understand that acknowledging the truth of what He has told you about yourself is essential on your path to whole-mindedness! And whole-mindedness is your path to perfect love.
This sixth pillar of love needs much work; for as you claim to love, and yet have rude thoughts, you remain steeped in your carnal lies. And these lies are the worst kind because you are lying to yourself!
I give you a new commandment: that you should love one another. Just as I have loved you, so you too should love one another. By this shall all [men] know that you are My disciples, if you love one another [if you keep on showing love among yourselves]. (John 13:34-35)
Halloween Beware
There is absolutely no way any other day of the year you would let your children knock on strangers doors, or open your door to people in costumes, and surly not let your children play hangout and play with them. But on this crazy wicked day people don’t think twice about letting these things happen. Be warned!!!
1 Samuel 29
1 Samuel 29
The Philistines Reject David
1 The entire Philistine army now mobilized at Aphek, and the Israelites camped at the spring in Jezreel. 2 As the Philistine rulers were leading out their troops in groups of hundreds and thousands, David and his men marched at the rear with King Achish. 3 But the Philistine commanders demanded, “What are these Hebrews doing here?”
And Achish told them, “This is David, the servant of King Saul of Israel. He’s been with me for years, and I’ve never found a single fault in him from the day he arrived until today.”
4 But the Philistine commanders were angry. “Send him back to the town you’ve given him!” they demanded. “He can’t go into the battle with us. What if he turns against us in battle and becomes our adversary? Is there any better way for him to reconcile himself with his master than by handing our heads over to him? 5 Isn’t this the same David about whom the women of Israel sing in their dances,
‘Saul has killed his thousands,
and David his ten thousands’?”
6 So Achish finally summoned David and said to him, “I swear by the Lord that you have been a trustworthy ally. I think you should go with me into battle, for I’ve never found a single flaw in you from the day you arrived until today. But the other Philistine rulers won’t hear of it. 7 Please don’t upset them, but go back quietly.”
8 “What have I done to deserve this treatment?” David demanded. “What have you ever found in your servant, that I can’t go and fight the enemies of my lord the king?”
9 But Achish insisted, “As far as I’m concerned, you’re as perfect as an angel of God. But the Philistine commanders are afraid to have you with them in the battle.10 Now get up early in the morning, and leave with your men as soon as it gets light.”
11 So David and his men headed back into the land of the Philistines, while the Philistine army went on to Jezreel.

A Father’s Exhortation: Acquire Wisdom
8 My child,[a] listen when your father corrects you.
Don’t neglect your mother’s instruction.
9 What you learn from them will crown you with grace
and be a chain of honor around your neck.
10 My child, if sinners entice you,
turn your back on them!
11 They may say, “Come and join us.
Let’s hide and kill someone!
Just for fun, let’s ambush the innocent!
12 Let’s swallow them alive, like the grave[b];
let’s swallow them whole, like those who go down to the pit of death.
13 Think of the great things we’ll get!
We’ll fill our houses with all the stuff we take.
14 Come, throw in your lot with us;
we’ll all share the loot.”
15 My child, don’t go along with them!
Stay far away from their paths.
16 They rush to commit evil deeds.
They hurry to commit murder.
17 If a bird sees a trap being set,
it knows to stay away.
18 But these people set an ambush for themselves;
they are trying to get themselves killed.
19 Such is the fate of all who are greedy for money;
it robs them of life.
Wisdom Shouts in the Streets
20 Wisdom shouts in the streets.
She cries out in the public square.
21 She calls to the crowds along the main street,
to those gathered in front of the city gate:
22 “How long, you simpletons,
will you insist on being simpleminded?
How long will you mockers relish your mocking?
How long will you fools hate knowledge?
23 Come and listen to my counsel.
I’ll share my heart with you
and make you wise.
24 “I called you so often, but you wouldn’t come.
I reached out to you, but you paid no attention.
25 You ignored my advice
and rejected the correction I offered.
26 So I will laugh when you are in trouble!
I will mock you when disaster overtakes you—
27 when calamity overtakes you like a storm,
when disaster engulfs you like a cyclone,
and anguish and distress overwhelm you.
28 “When they cry for help, I will not answer.
Though they anxiously search for me, they will not find me.
29 For they hated knowledge
and chose not to fear the Lord.
30 They rejected my advice
and paid no attention when I corrected them.
31 Therefore, they must eat the bitter fruit of living their own way,
choking on their own schemes.
32 For simpletons turn away from me—to death.
Fools are destroyed by their own complacency.
33 But all who listen to me will live in peace,
untroubled by fear of harm.”
