STIFF NECKED…IMCOMING SALVO…12 MAY A.D. 2023

BLESSINGS TO THOSE MAKING ROOM FOR THE GOOD SHEPHERD,

Perhaps you are like me and all your life you have heard stiffnecked as relating to the Jews.
Here are some Bible quotes,
Now do not stiffen your neck like your fathers, but yield to the Lord and enter His sanctuary which He has consecrated forever, and serve the Lord your God, 
A Jewish Brother directed me to these two chapters of the Bible:
7 Adonai said to Moshe, “Go down! Hurry! Your people, whom you brought up from the land of Egypt, have become corrupt! 8 So quickly they have turned aside from the way I ordered them to follow! They have cast a metal statue of a calf, worshipped it, sacrificed to it and said, ‘Isra’el! Here is your god, who brought you up from the land of Egypt!’” 9 Adonai continued speaking to Moshe: “I have been watching these people; and you can see how stiffnecked they are. 10 Now leave me alone, so that my anger can blaze against them, and I can put an end to them! I will make a great nation out of you instead.” Exodus 32:7-10 CJB

51 “Stiffnecked people,[q] with uncircumcised hearts and ears![r] You continually oppose the Ruach HaKodesh![s] You do the same things your fathers did! 52 Which of the prophets did your fathers not persecute? They killed those who told in advance about the coming of the Tzaddik, and now you have become his betrayers and murderers! — 53 you! — who receive the Torah as having been delivered by angels — but do not keep it!”

54 On hearing these things, they were cut to their hearts and ground their teeth at him. 55 But he, full of the Ruach HaKodesh, looked up to heaven and saw God’s Sh’khinah, with Yeshua standing at the right hand of God. 56 “Look!” he exclaimed, “I see heaven opened and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God!”  Acts 7:51-56 CJB


The term stiffnecked may be something we see that Jews exhibited rejecting relationship with The Almighty when things were not to their own liking, but stiffnecked applies to us all when we resist and turn away from the Holy Spirit's calling for relationship with The Lord.

Counting it all joy WHEN WE RECEIVE THE SPIRIT'S CALLING,
