That's what I call it. The other seers at the little church call them auras. I don't like to call this glow what psychic mediums call it. That is the demonic counterfeit of this gift. Mediums also see it on anyone. The true gift seems to be only judging a teaching, because I didn't see anything during song service, or announcements - only the teaching.
I've been able to hear God's voice for 47 years. So that is the ear though it is actually heard in my mind. And now I have the gift for the eyes.
1 Corinthians 2:9-10
9 But as it is written:
“Eye has not seen, nor ear heard,
Nor have entered into the heart of man
The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”
10 But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.
The Bible has a term for that. Judgmentalism and self-righteousness.
Also He spoke this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others: (Lk. 18:9 NKJ)
Try this prayer instead:
And the tax collector, standing afar off, would not so much as raise his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying,`God, be merciful to me a sinner!' (Lk. 18:13 NKJ)
Legalism is "more general" because the rules one puts above Messiah may be from places besides Mosaic law. Some legalists may insist on
kashrut, worshipping on Shabbat, or keeping other parts of the Torah as meritorious for achieving righteousness with God. Less rare, however,
are New Covenant legalists, those who believe that you must contradict
torah since you are free in Messiah. They might spy out our liberty,
shocked that we do not eat a pork chop! They might insist that Sunday is now mandatory Shabbat, or say that the resurrection must be
celebrated with Easter, and certainly not to be identified with Passover. Such New Covenant legalists have worked contrary to the Scriptures,
contrary to the plan of God, and in effect hide the Good News from the eyes of the Jewish people. This is not to be condoned. These legalists
would put you into their own form of bondage, thinking it "Christianity" When witnesses of a so called Good News assert that for a Jew to
believe in Jesus, the Messiah of Israel, they should abandon their Jewish heritage, this is wicked legalism. Many such groups in reality have
a different Jesus, a different Spirit, and a different Gospel!
To rebut the claim that real believers must come under any legal system to be made righteous before God. Paul says "listen to the Law!"
In so doing he places disagreement in the historical context of Mosaic
torah itself (Genesis 21:8-14; Galatians 4:21). Paul says in Galatians
4:4-5
But when the fullness of the time came, God sent forth His Son; born of a woman, born under the Law, so that He might redeem
those who were under the Law, that we might receive the adoption as sons.
Messiah born under this good system redeemed those of us born under the same system. Do you wish to be under that system? If so,
then listen to it and learn. Mosaic
torah does not teach you to be under law, but points in a different direction----to cling to Messiah and
the promise fulfilled in Him. To think we are to place ourselves under mere rules and regulations rather than under Messiah is neither
the teaching of the New Covenant nor the Mosaic
torah.
It was for freedom that Messiah set us free; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery. (Galatians 5:1)
We are free according to God's promise. God's grace, the power of the Holy Spirit and truth of God's word will make us more than
conquerors in Messiah, and able to honor God in all our ways. So be resolute in the pardon of Messiah and turn away from trusting
in mere regulations.
Thus,
torah comes full circle, making application of the original instructions to Moses, by the inspired words of Messiah Himself. May God
help us to yield our lives completely to Him., and to learn to truly care for others, May we find rest in our Lord, and proclaim the Good News
of Messiah's triumphant work in His death and resurrection. Faith in Yeshua, His love, sacrifice and grace, is the true bridge to Heaven, and
the key to living a heavenly life here on earth!
Shalom
