Why Communicate ?
By Peter James from: www.peterjamesx.com
The very first
thing, which we need to carefully consider,
is that communication
consists of two parts.
We have to
listen, and we have to speak.
We should do one
of these things at a time.
Pretty basic is
it not?
Let me define
listening.
Listening does
not mean keeping quiet, and waiting for the
other person to
shut up, so that you can pour forth,
what you wanted
to say in the first place.
In my experience,
sometimes the other person asks me,
to explain the
very thing, that I had just explained
over many
minutes, as soon as I had finished speaking.
They just had not
listened.
They
equated keeping quiet, with listening.
This is not only
a problem with individuals.
It is also a
national problem, for the leaders of most nations.
Our leaders just
do not listen to, or consider what the leaders
of other nations
are saying.
They foolishly
believe, that they do not have to listen at all.
As they are
exceptional, they can do exactly what they like,
and they can make
up the rules as they go along.
This course of
action will inevitably lead to tears,
and weeping and
gnashing of teeth, without any doubt whatsoever.
In fact in the
present condition of the world,
it can very
easily lead to a world war!
I have worked
with computers for over 40 years.
I have had to
give advice to others, in order to resolve even simple problems.
The reality is
that people just would not listen.
They often want
to show me their intelligence.
The reality is
that, I was minding my business,
and quite at
peace, and enjoying what I was doing,
when they called.
When I said how I would resolve their problems,
I was given a
lecture, that they had tried that already, and it did not work.
I could waste an
awful lot of time, trying to explain what I was going to do.
I would spend
many hours trying to explain to customers,
why they should
not attempt to do, whatever it was they wanted to do,
on their
computers. The arrogance was amazing to behold.
So I installed
software (Teamviewer to be precise), which
enabled me to
take complete
control of their computer, in any part of the world.
The resut was
that I spent a fraction of the time,
which I used to
waste.
I also realised,
when I was in business,
that I was not
being very wise, spending hours trying to stop people
making silly
mistakes. Therefore I stopped doing that.
I would simply
say once, what you would like to do, will not work,
but since you
would like me to do it, I will do it anyway.
I would go away,
and write the program, and turn up with it,
say a couple of
weeks later.
At a board room
meeting, with many people present,
I would start the
program on the computer,
and ask the
accountant, to please explain to us how it was going to work,
because I did not
have any idea, how it would work.
I should add,
that in arrogance, I had been told quite firmly,
that they would
tell me precisely what they wanted,
and they were
adamant,
that I was not to
change anything at all.
This totally
absurd conduct, enabled me to get contracts,
which kept me
busy for years, as I replaced the work of computer
departments, by
providing solutions working on my own,
which did work,
and did what was needed, without the fuss,
and confusion of
the computer department.
They were so
accustomed to having disasters, which cost them money,
because of lack
of communication that I would be invited to go and
visit one of
their computer companies, and speak to them,
and return to the
company who made the request to me,
and tell them in
simple English what was going on.
Communication
was zero.
I never did do
that particular job although I would have been paid
very well.
Instead, alone, I ended up writing a whole suite of programs,
for the company. They
had brought in a graduate to write the specifications
for the programs,
at great expense.
The end result
was that I finished the assignment,
but the programs
were never used, because the programs, which I had
written in the
first place were much simpler and better, than the
programs which
had been specified by the graduate.
The two lessons
are first of all communicate,
and be content,
with what you have.
I should also
point out that the arrogance, with which I had to deal was
quite unbelievable.
After these demonstration disasters, I would be asked
can it be fixed?
As the whole concept was wrong, it could not be fixed.
Of course, I
could rewrite the program, but they would have to pay me,
for
my work on the nonsense specification, that they gave me,
and
the rewritten program.
In two instances,
I made quite a bit of money from companies,
where the
management would not listen.
The lesson I
learned, was that I could give advice,
but it was futile
to try to make people listen, even for their own good.
I also learnt
human beings only seem to understand pain,
and this can
often be very costly.
Even today on my
website, I do not argue with a single person.
Today I am much
wiser, and I have explained in great detail,
that the problem
is a heart problem, and not a mind problem.

I do not claim to
be an expert in any field whatsoever.
In fact, I hated
it, when company managers introduced me as a computer expert.
People need to
humble themselves, and accept,
that it might
just be possible, that another person, who has invested over 40 years
in the computer
business, might just know a little bit about computers.
It is a saying of
mine, that the Eternal God is not going to ask me,
how did Jack or
Jill treat me?
but He is most
assuredly going to ask me, how did you treat Jack or Jill?
The question,
which I always ask myself,
is this, did I
please the Eternal God or not?
Everything else
is irrelevant.
If I please the
Eternal God, ultimately all the people will be blessed,
whether they can
see it or not at the beginning of the process.
For quite a long
time, I have been encouraging everyone to communicate.
As I have said, I
am also fully aware of how very busy everyone is.
It is my
experience, that communication is critical on several levels.
It should not be
a burden, and a chore, and I will explain precisely what I mean.
Many years ago,
some felt that it is a pity that we do not live
near to one
another, as it would make communication so much easier.
In fact this is
not true at all.
I
have people who live near to me, who do not communicate,
but at the very
same time, I can communicate with people thousands of miles
away, with
absolutely negligible effort.
I should add,
that we have all been put into the strategic places,
for His assigned
purposes, which will in time become clear to us.
In the meantime,
we should not grumble and belly ache.
The Eternal God responded
to this feeling, of many wanting of us, all to be neighbours,
by telling us,
that He had provided the means, for us to communicate with each other.
In essence, this
is what He told us.
He had given us
home phones, mobile phones, computers, and letters,
so we had no
excuse, therefore we should get on with communicating,
and stop
complaining.
In essence, we
did not, and even now know very little about
the exact plans
for each of us, at this time.
I think, that the
Eternal God is quite aware, of how very busy we are,
however, He told
us to communicate.
He would not have
told us to do so, if it was not important to do so.
Why
would He tell us to do so?
I have said this
many times.
Most people
believe, that the purpose of their lives is to enjoy
their lives to
the maximum.
This is not the
case at all.
The
primary, and whole purpose of our existence,
is
to give pleasure to the Eternal God.
Revelation
4:11 Thou art
worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power:
for thou hast created
all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.
The blessings, which we crave, comes by obedience ,
and so does joy, pleasure and success,
in absolutely all
areas of our lives,
and in everything
that we set our hands to do.
Deuteronomy
chapter 28 verses 1 to 13 gives the incredible detail.
Read all of it
for yourself and see.
The system is in
place for each one of us to be blessed.
So this means,
that all the fussing, worrying, and frustration,
is quite
unnecessary. Does it not?
Deuteronomy
28:1 ¶ And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken
diligently
unto
the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments
which
I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high
above
all nations of the earth:
Deuteronomy
28:2 And all these blessings shall come on thee,
and
overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God.
Here
are the direct benefits of communication.
How
can you get counsel if you do not communicate?
The
simple answer is you cannot.
Proverbs
11:14 Where no counsel is, the people fall: (perish) but in the multitude
of counsellors
there is safety.
This
applies to physical and spiritual warfare.
Proverbs
24:6 For by wise counsel thou shalt make
thy war:
and in multitude
of counsellors there is safety.
Notice
the apostles came together to share their thoughts on the situation.
Acts
15:6 ¶ And the apostles and
elders came together for to consider
of this matter.
The
Eternal God said that He considers communication a sacrifice,
which
pleases Him.
Hebrews
13:16 But to do good
and to communicate
forget not:
for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.
We know, that we
are accountable for our every thought, word and deed,
I have written
about this in detail.
I am often saying
that we have mouths, and this means,
that we can say absolutely anything at all.
It
does not have to be true.
However, the
reality is that we will give account, of all of our thoughts,
words and deeds.
We do not have a choice in this.
It
is an immutable law.
Revelation
20:12 And I saw the dead,
small and great, stand before God;
and the books were opened: and another
book was opened,
which is the book
of life: and the dead were judged out
of those things (our thoughts, words, and deeds)
which were
written in the books, according
to their works. (our thoughts, words, and deeds)
Here is a big
surprise for everyone.
Above we are told,
that the books were opened.
So there are
several books,
and we are then
told, that another book was opened.
It seems that one
of these books is called ‘The Book Of Remembrance’.
What is this book
of Remembrance?
We are told, that
this is what happened to those who feared the LORD.
The LORD listened and heard what they
said,
and uur words are
being recorded in ‘The Book of Remembrance’.
I believe that this
is saying, that our speaking often one to another
is being
recorded, in this Book of Remembrance.
The Eternal God is not having this book written for His
benefit.
It will be a
teaching tool, just as the bible is a teaching tool for us today.
People will be
able to study, what has been said and done,
by the people of
God. Hopefully
we will be positive examples.
If you are a
person, who has been called by the Eternal God,
you will feature
there.
You and I, will be exposed warts and all.
The
impact that you have had on the Body of Christ,
and
how you coped with everything, which was thrown at you,
will
be there for all to see, and hopefully learn from it.
I have
explained, that there are three books in the New Testament,
which
are incomplete, the book of James, the third
epistle of John,
and the Acts of
the Apostles. None of
these books finish with Amen,
which signifies
their completion.
Therefore, it is
most likely, that it is this book of Remembrance,
which will be
used to update the book of Acts, for the period of time,
which has passed,
and will pass, until Christ returns,
and even up to
the end of the millenium.
Note
that this book of Remembrance is not for the world at large.
It
is specifically for those that.
(1) feared the LORD, and
(2) thought upon His
name
(3) spake often one to
another
Malachi
3:16 Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another:
and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of
remembrance was
written before
him for them that feared the LORD,
and that thought upon his name.
The above people
are not just ‘believers’.
They are in a
very special category.
The LORD of hosts
said
(1) They are mine
(2) They are My jewels
(3) They will be spared as His faithful son,
from disaster.
Malachi
3:17 And they shall be mine, saith the
LORD of hosts,
in that day when
I make up my jewels;
and I will spare them,
as a man spareth his own son that serveth him.
You might well
have to change your priorities,
in order to do as
we have been commanded.
You do not have
to spend hours on the phone.
Short
communications will suffice.
These discussions
should include matters of substance, when possible,
and not just trivia.
We have to
understand, that our whole lives, are a body matter.
Whatever we do,
will affect the whole body, whether it is positive or negative.
We are affecting
even the body members, that you do not know
on the other side
of the world.
Just think of
your own physical body.
If one part of
your body is hurting,
your whole body
will be under the weather.
Do you
still think that communicating is not an important thing?
I suggest that
you carefully think again?
As always you
have to choose.
