What God Commissions To Be Done CAN Be Achieved
The Book of Romans is already a tough read. I was told by Dr. Ray Shelton (Professor, Melodyland School of Theology) that a theologian's Bible will automatically, by wear, fall open to Romans 5:12. He did his whole doctoral dissertation on it, and showed that the King James translation is understood 180 degrees from what it actually says: we do not die because we sin, we sin because we are dead.
So anyway, I was reading the Book of Romans in Victor Alexander's translation from the ancient Aramaic, and came upon a useful idea. Romans 4:21, which please let me introduce using Psalm 37:1-11:
"1 Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity. 2 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb. 3 Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. 4 Delight thyself also in the LORD: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. 5 Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass. 6 And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday. 7 Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass. 8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil. 9 For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth. 10 For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be. 11 But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace" (emphasis mine).
Evildoers, workers of iniquity, and the wicked are our flesh thoughts, the influence of the outer man. The world of those thoughts will be cut down, eliminated. You, the INNER MAN, trust in Jesus, the goodness of God's nature in YHWH, his action, and do good. Delight in Him AS AN OBJECTIVE REALITY (this is what Romans is about), and He will give you the desires you sense in your heart. & etc.. What desire God gives you is your commission, no? Maybe you can only pray it through, but you are to put forth the effort.
I read in Alexander’s Romans 4:21, "And he (Abraham before he was named Abraham) upheld that what Allaha (God) commissioned him to do could be achieved" (parentheses mine). Faith. At this point, Abram believed unto righteousness. WHAT was belief unto righteousness? That what Allaha (God) commissioned him to do could be achieved. Where do you get your commission to do anything? God gives you the desires of your heart--his desires in your heart for you to manifest: "I want you to do this." THOSE desires, your commission, can be achieved. Inherit the earth. Believe it.
