Have you been washed by the blood of the LAMB? Then REJOICE!!!

MAY THE SAINTS BEGIN TO RISE UP IN JOY and PEACE!!!!

IN JUDGMENT or IN BEAUTY.. 

CREATION will REVEAL HIS MAJESTY!!!

Are things getting worse?  Absolutely they are..

But for those that are walking righteously before the LORD, with clean hearts and clean hands, our HOPE, our strength and our power IS IN HM.

EP 4: 17  This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind

We must NOT allow this these things to become a strong- hold in our lives as though we have NO HOPE and NO JOY.  The EVILS of tomorrow will be forever before you.

I want to ENCOURAGE YOU AGAIN and AGAIN, for it will bring HEALTH, revival to your SPIRIT and health to your  BODY!!!

As we say in the SOUTH, you can take this to the bank!!!

Cast down your fears and LOOK UP for YOUR REDEEMER LIVES, HE knows every hair on your head!!! He Knows EVER need that you have. By worrying "all" the time you are not going to add one extra day to your life!!

THIS IS THE TIME to TESTIFY of HIM!!
THIS Is the time to DRAW NEARER to YOUR LORD!!

HE WILL FILL YOUR WITH AN OVERWHELMING SPIRIT OF JOY, and PEACE...

Then when they/the world ASK YOU:

"WHAT HOPE DO YOU HAVE?"
"WHAT BRINGS YOU THIS PEACE and JOY?"

I WILL TESTIFY to the LORD!!!!

Our JOY is not tied to the circumstances of this old world but the KINGDOM to COME.

RISE UP IN YOUR JOY, it will be the best thing you will do for yourself during these days!!

TESTIFY, that the LORD is good, worthy to be praised and is our HOPE!!!

ENCOURAGE YOUR FAITH, instead of being discouraged and down casted by the world around you!!

SING, Make a joyful noise, call upon HIM for your deliverance, and HE will give a testimony of HIMSELF!!!

PSALMS 91: 1  O come, let us sing unto the LORD: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation.

Have you sinned?  CONFESS, seek repentance, that you can be forgiven.

Once that is done.. THEN WALK in ASSURANCE, in JOY, in HARMONY with the SPIRIT OF THE LORD.

Testifying that HE IS WHO HE SAYS HE IS and HE IS GOING TO DO EXACTLY as HE SAYS HE IS GOING TO DO.

HAVE CONFIDENCE:

HE LOVES THOSE THAT LOVE HIM!!!!

IN CHRIST ALONE:

CONCLUSION:

CHOSE what path you will take today?

Will you be a testimony of PRAISE? or a testimony of worry and down casting?

Are you going to continue worrying everyday, having your spirit cast down about what tomorrow will bring?  

That is NOT in harmony with the SPIRIT Of the LORD!!!   That is NO way to LIVE, or to testify of HIS GOODNESS or of your faith IN HIM..

RISE UP CHURCH reveal your MAKER, that is your reasonable service. The LEAST you can do!!!

IF the PROPHETIC EVENTS are going to happen there is NOTHING that we can do to stop them.  

However, individually we can LIVE, have hope, peace and in comfort and in HIS PRAISE!!!

SEEK the LORD and REJOICE, have peace, be in Harmony with the SPIRIT? For that is YOUR HOPE, HIS GLORY!!!

For those that stand righteously before the LORD, with a clean heart and clean hands; for those that LOVE HIM:

There is nothing that is going to come upon us that the LORD does not allow.  

If we die, let us die abiding IN HIM, PRAISING HIM, TRUSTING HIM!!!

CALL UPON HIM IN YOUR TROUBLE and HE WILL DELIVER THEE. HE will answer thee.. HE WILL TESTIFY to HIS GOODNESS!!!!  AMEN

Psalms 81: 1- 16

Vs 1.Sing aloud unto God our strength: make a joyful noise unto the God of Jacob.

2. Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel, the pleasant harp with the psaltery.

3. Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day.

6.  I removed his shoulder from the burden: his hands were delivered from the pots.

7. Thou calledst in trouble, and I delivered thee; I answered thee in the secret place of thunder: I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. Selah.

Vs 8  Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto thee: O Israel, if thou wilt hearken unto me;

VS 9  There shall no strange god be in thee; neither shalt thou worship any strange go

VS 10  I [am] the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.

________________________________________________________

FOR THOSE THAT REFUSE and REJECT HIM, for those that will NOT live in HARMONY with HIS SPIRIT:

  

PSALMS 81: 11 But my people would not hearken to my voice; and Israel would none of me.

PSALMS 81: 15 The haters of the LORD should have submitted themselves unto him: but their time should have endured for ever.

HE WOULD have satisfied you, fed you with the finest wheat and honey.

DON'T REJECT HIS GOODNESS.

PSALMS 81: 16  He should have fed them also with the finest of the wheat: and with honey out of the rock should I have satisfied thee

LIVE IN THE POWER OF HIS LOVE: ALLOW HIM TO RENEW YOUR MIND, BODY and SOUL!!!  AND I WILL SOAR WITH YOU, YOUR SPIRIT LEADS ME ON IN THE POWER OF YOUR LOVE!!!

DO YOU TRULY BELIEVE that the LORD IS A GIVER???

I TRULY WANT TO ENCOURAGE YOU TODAY, as I have been ENCOURAGED!!! 

With all the hoopla over the FALSE PROPHETS these days are you REJECTING the "GOOD" of the LORD???

BELIEVE for HE IS "WORTHY TO BE PRAISE" and ALL good things are in HIS HAND and AT HIS COMMAND!!!


PSALMS 84: 11 For the LORD God [is] a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good [thing] will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.


MATT 6: 13 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.  


I must be honest here, I have taken a bit of a NEW Turn  in my life.

HE IS BETTER THAN I DESERVE,   HE IS GOOD and TRULY WORTHY TO BE PRAISED.

The LORD has been SO VERY GOOD to me, I literally SHAKE and TREMBLE at HIS GOODNESS these days. And I want to bring MORE PRAISE to HIS NAME than I ever have before..

Sometimes, when good things have came to my life in the past,  

I would WONDER or even doubted it was from HIM. But this SCRIPTURE truly was brought to LIFE In me RECENTLY... Why is it that I could DOUBT a CREATOR Of ALL things HIS GLORY or HIS ABILITY to bring "GOOD" things to my life... HE IS the "ALL IN ALL".... AMEN

PSALMS 84: 11 For the LORD God [is] a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good [thing] will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.

I am not talking about "RICHES", but a PROSPERITY that can't compare to HIM and ALL of HIS PROMISES!!!!

MATERIAL things just don't even compare to the TWO of these things. 


TRULY, there REALLY isn't anything better than GOOD HEALTH in this old world, that is of course ONLY SECOND to LORD'S  HOLY PRESENCE in our life.


LET THE WORLD go... 

What PRAISE? WHAT GLORY do  we offer HIS NAME in our constant worries, hiding ourselves away, NEVER TESTIFYING to HIS NAME or HIS GLORY!!...

BE A LIGHT TO HIS GLORY and HIS GOODNESS!!!

LET us DECLARE, TESTIFY, LET us PROCLAIM to HIS FAITHFULNESS,  that no matter where we are, or what is happening, HE IS THERE and HE IS ABLE!!!

If I die, I shall die IN HIM, and LIVING as a VESSEL of  HIS GLORIOUS PRAISE.

 

HAVE ASSURANCE:  IF YOU CAN "HEAR HIS VOICE" you can have the confidence that HE will lead and direct you to SAFETY or the POWER to endure...



I REALLY want to encourage you today..

SEEK HIM FIRST and FOREMOST in your LIFE.

ABIDE IN HIM!!!!

BRING HIM THE PRAISE that HE DESERVES. REVERENCE HIM for "WHO HE IS and WHAT HE IS ABLE TO DO"...

ENCOURAGE YOUR FAITH with WORSHIP of HIM, REACH toward HIS HEART, plead HIS MERCY with ALL YOUR MIGHT, BREATH HIS PRESENCE, HAVE a HEART of GRATITUDE no matter where you are in LIFE.

YOU WILL RECEIVE your JOY and PEACE, the world will become strangely deem place.. The SEASON OF SPRING will come to your life in a hurry....

HE is FULLY ABLE to BRING "LIFE" to our dead bones, but NOT until you TRULY BELIEVE HE IS "WHO HE SAYS HE IS"..


YOU TRULY WILL RECEIVE an OVERWHELMING PRESENCES of HIM IN YOUR LIFE and HEALTH to YOUR SPIRIT and  GOOD HEALTH added to your bones.



PRAISE HIM, PRAISE HIM.... WORSHIP HIM FOR "WHO HE IS"..

OUR REDEEMER is ALIVE AND WELL.. AMEN 

LIBERTY is CALLING.. WILL YOU BE AMONG THOSE that RECEIVE IT????

ALLOW HIM TO TOUCH YOUR LIFE with salvation and healing.. AMEN

PSALMS 91: 2 I will say of the LORD, HE is my refuge and my fortress: my GOD: in HIM will I trust.

MERCY: THROUGH HIS MERCY I SHALL BE SAVED and CARED FOR, TRUSTING that HIS THRONE is BUILD upon JUSTICE and RIGHTEOUSNESS:

PSALMS 85: 7 Shew us thy mercy, O LORD, and grant us thy salvation.

PSALMS 86: 3 Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto thee daily

PSALMS 86: 4 Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.

PSALMS 86: 5 For thou, Lord, [art] good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.  

PSALMS 84: 11 For the LORD God [is] a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good [thing] will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.

GIVE GLORY TO HIS NAME: 

I WILL REVERENCE HIS HOLY NAME, HEAR HIS VOICE, and walk according to HIS WORD.

FOR PEACE and RIGHTEOUSNESS are MET TOGETHER and HAVE KISSED.

Psalms 85: 8  I will hear what God the LORD will speak: for he will speak peace unto his people, and to his saints: but let them not turn again to folly.

85: 9 Surely his salvation [is] nigh them that fear him; that glory may dwell in our land.

85: 10  Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed [each other].

IN JESUS NAME, AMEN and AMEN (let it be so)

HE was FAITHFUL in HIS DEATH, even WHILE HE WAS TORMENTED, 

HE SHALL BE FAITHFUL TO RETURN

MY DELIVERER is COMING

DEU 7: 9  

Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he [is] God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations

DELIVERER

MAJESTY: I am empty handed, but ALIVE IN HIS HAND.. AMEN

LYRICS to HERE I AM:

Here I am humbled by your Majesty
Covered by your grace so free
Here I am, knowing I'm a sinful man
Covered by the blood of the Lamb

Now I've found the greatest love of all is mine
Since you laid down your life
The greatest sacrifice

Majesty, Majesty
Your grace has found me just as I am
Empty handed, but alive in your hands
Majesty, Majesty
Forever I am changed by your love
In the presence of your Majesty

Here I am humbled by the love that you give
Forgiven so that I can forgive
Here I stand, knowing that I'm your desire
Sanctified by glory and fire

Now I've found the greatest love of all is mine
Since you laid down your life
The greatest sacrifice

WE CRY OUT

PRAY that YOU will be among the MEEK!!!

A REVELATION... 

I FEEL like I have been TOUCHED by the SPIRIT of the LORD, for I have FOUND the FOUNDATION of my PEACE, REST and the JOY OF MY SALVATION through HIS LOVING TOUCH!!! HALLELUJAH, AMEN.

I ALSO believe that I have gain a bit of a NEW REVELATION through all of this, and I would like to seek/try to OFFER it to you as well..

That you MAY may be touched with the same JOY OF YOUR SALVATION and be COMFORTED, and that ALL YOUR HOPES and CONFIDENCE will be in HIM, AMEN.

GIVE as it has been GIVEN TO YOU FREELY.. AMEN 



MY PRAYER:  

OH LORD let me be among the MEEK!! For it is TRULY the MEEK that have the confidence and trust in THEIR REDEEMER that is so needed within YOUR BODY!!!

LORD, make me a vessel of HUMILITY and MEEKNESS before YOU!! 

That I can be a testimony before YOU and OF YOU to a LOST WORLD!!

The MEEK are truly blessed and are the most likely to be used as living vessels by the LORD!! For the MEEK will understand their LIMITS and that HE IS LIMITLESS. The MEEK will understand it is not all about THEM, but about a BODY of BELIEVERS and the HIGHER CALLING of GOD.

It is the MEEK that have the broken and anguished heart over their personal sins.

In the end, it shall be the MEEK that shall be saved. For the MEEK will be READY and WILLING to surrender their LIVES for the TESTIMONY of JESUS CHRIST.

THOSE that LOOK to HIM for salvation, in confidence and assurance of HIS ABILITY and HIS PROMISES.

It shall be the MEEK that BOW their HEADS and HEARTS and say.. THOU WILL BE DONE....For their SECURITY will be in HEAVEN!!!

Those that have LIVED as a TESTIMONY TO HIM/JESUS CHRIST. Those that are willing to carry their cross, to the end of the road, as HE DID,  

OBEYING as HE CALLS, in true humility with assurance that HE is ABLE, that HE can even if HE doesn't save us from the fire, temptations, trials, or death...

_____________________________________________________________

IN TRUTH, you can not make MEEKNESS happen.

MEEKNESS is an ATTITUDE and a DISPOSITION from a manifestation of the "KNOWLEDGE OF JESUS CHRIST", THROUGH a REVELATION of  "WHO HE IS". 

It is about REVERENCE and ASSURANCE!!

MEEKNESS before the WORLD begins with HUMILITY before HIM.

It is an attitude and a disposition of a surrendered soul before HIM.

MEEKNESS has nothing to do with being surrendered to the world or a door mat to the WORLD, NOR does it require COMPROMISE with the world, but instead is a Manifestation/ a WITNESS and a TESTIMONY to the WORLD of a SURRENDER, SUBMISSIVE SOUL that has complete TRUST and CONFIDENCE in the ONE WHO IS ALL THINGS:

MEEKNESS is Manifested/revealed/disposition by the ONE that has an intimate relationship, personal relationship with  JESUS CHRIST of having “TRUE FAITH” in HIM and IN HIS ABILITIES.

MEEKNESS and GENTLENESS is REVEALS/gives witness as a TESTIMONY TO THE WORLD, from one that has all CONFIDENCE and ASSURANCE in the LORD’S ABILITY, CHARACTER, and PROMISES:

I believe it MUST begin with a “Humble heart before the LORD”:

THEREFORE it must begin with a TRUE REVELATION of

“WHO HE IS”.

MATT 11: 9  Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

         

LEARN OF HIM:

The “BLESSINGS” of a TRUE REVELATION of   “WHO HE IS”:

2 Chr 7: 14   If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

“HUMILITY”

BEGINS with a TRUE REVELATION OF HIS GLORY:  HIS HOLINESS, HIS MIGHTINESS, HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS, HIS JUSTICE, HIS MERCY, GRACE and HIS DESIRE.

IT is a revelation of HIS GRACE and MERCY, towards an UNDESERVING and WAYWARD PEOPLE, that are in great NEED of saving and deliverance..

HE is PREFECT and ALL KNOWING.

THEN: 

ONE, can begin to walk in CONFIDENCE and TRUST that HE is in control of ever situation.

We understand that HE CAN, even if HE doesn't.

We understand that though  "we" are LIMITED, HE is LIMITLESS in power and ability.

We understand that NOTHING is beyond HIS CAPABILITY

AND that NO ONE or NOTHING can twist or direct the ARM OF THE LORD.

IT CREATES within us a COMPASSIONATE and MERCIFUL HEART, towards HIS PEOPLE and a LOST WORLD, a PASSION to becoming a vessel of SACRIFICE working  from HIS DESIRE and NOT from our own.

Creating not only a compassionate and MERCIFUL HEART of giving,  but a heart that has ETERNAL INTEREST in a lost world

a.     We begin to Understand HIS DESIRE to REVEAL HIMSELF to HIS CREATION above all things.

b.    A PASSION to share about HIS sacrifice and HIS ability to SAVE.

c.     That HE DOES NOT “DESIRE” condemnation, but RESTORATION to HIM and to HIS WORD/commands.

IT is TESTIMONY OF JESUS CHRIST:

THE JOY OF OUR SALVATION!!!

THEN we can walk MEEKLY upon the EARTH with GLADNESS, PEACE, JOY, and REST. And a HOPE of the PROMISES of GOD, BEING a TESTIMONY OF our confidence that we have in JESUS CHRIST!!!… AMEN

The MEEK shall be BLESSED:

A. Shall find REST

B is of a GREAT PRICE to GOD

C. Shall eat and be satisfied

D. Shall be guided and taught by the LORD

E. Shall live in peace

F. Shall be made beautiful

G. Shall inherent the earth.

MEEK:  mildness of disposition, gentleness of spirit, meekness

Meekness toward God is that disposition of spirit in which we accept His dealings with us as good, and therefore without disputing or resisting. In the OT, the meek are those wholly relying on God rather than their own strength to defend against injustice. Thus, meekness toward evil people means knowing God is permitting the injuries they inflict, that He is using them to purify His elect, and that He will deliver His elect in His time (Isa 41:17, Luk 18:1-8). Gentleness or meekness is the opposite to self-assertiveness and self-interest. It stems from trust in God's goodness and control over the situation. The gentle person is not occupied with self at all. This is a work of the Holy Spirit, not of the human will (Gal 5:23).

 MATT 11: 9  Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

1 Pet 3: 4  But [let it be] the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, [even the ornament] of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.

PSALMS 22: 6  The meek shall eat and be satisfied: they shall praise the LORD that seek him: your heart shall live for ever.

Pslams  25: 9   The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way.

Psalms 37:   But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.

Psalms 76: 9 When God arose to judgment, to save all the meek of the earth. Selah

Psalms 147: 6  The LORD lifteth up the meek: he casteth the wicked down to the ground.

Psalms 149: 4  For the LORD taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation.

CONCLUSION:

A. SEEK to KNOW HIM!!!

B. PRAY for a REVELATION of “WHO HE IS”.

THEN we can truly walk as a TESTIMONY to JESUS CHRIST in TRUE MEEKNESS before the world, with confidence, trust, peace, HOPE, and rest, in HIS PROMISES!!!

MANIFESTING a “MEEK and gentle SPIRIT upon the EARTH, as a vessel that is a LIVING SACRIFICE, with confidence in OUR REDEEMER!!!!

SHOW ME YOUR GLORY!!!!

CARRY MY CROSS, LET US CARRY OUR CROSS as HE DID!!!

lyrics TO CARRY MY CROSS

"Carry My Cross"

As long as I remember 
I've been walking through the wilderness 
Praying to the Father 
And waiting for my time 
I've come here with a mission 
And soon I'll give my life for this world 

I'm praying in the garden 
And I'm looking for a miracle 
I find the journey hard but 
It's the reason I was born 
Can this cup be passed on 
Lord, I pray your will be done 
In this world 

So I'll carry my cross 
And I'll carry the shame 
To the end of the road 
Through the struggle and pain 
And I'll do it for love 
No, it won't be in vain 
Yes, I'll carry my cross 
And I'll carry the shame 

I feel like I'm alone here 
And I'm treated like a criminal 
The time has come for me now 
Even though I've done no wrong 
Father, please forgive them 
They know not what they've done 
In this world 

Three more days and I'll be coming back again 
Three more days and I'll be coming back again

added bonus to yesterdays post..THE SUFFERING SYMBOL

They grew tired of bread form heaven
And of Moses and of God
They longed to live the life of slavery once again
So they muttered and they grumbled 
And they wimpered and they whined;
With each faithless word, sank deeper into sin

He took the pen of pain once more
To write upon their hearts
The lesson they had been so slow to learn
But writing in the sand, the firey serpents came to call
With a holy message and a bite that burned

Chorus:
Lift up the suffering symbol
And placve it high upon a pole
Tell the children to look up and be made whole

So Moses made a metal snake, 
And nailed it to a pole
Sent out the saving word so they would know
That the symbol of their suffering was now the focus of their faith
and with a faithful glance, the healing power would flow

In time the brazen serpent became an idol in the land
And they left the living God to worship clay
When they forgot their suffering
Soon true faith had disappeared
So some idolize a brazen cross today

Chorus(X4)

Tell the children to look up and be made

Be STEDFAST in your FAITH, JOY, PEACE and HARMONY WITH THE SPIRIT!!

HE IS THE LORD, and HE IS WORTHY of ALL PRAISE NO MATTER WHAT WE GO THROUGH!!!

 I SHALL NOT DWELL IN THE DARKNESS... for HE IS HOLDING ONTO ME!!!

PSALMS 78: 8 And (that they) might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation; a generation [that] set not their heart aright, and whose spirit was not stedfast with God.

PSALMS 78: 22  Because they believed not in God, and trusted not in his salvation.

READ PSALMS 78:

What really got my attention about Psalms 78 was the over all account of Israel’s time in the wilderness and their RESPONSE to the LORD.

It seemed the more GOOD that the LORD brought into their life the more they sinned. The less they trusted HIM, the more they tempted HIM, the more they lusted etc.

The thing that I found most interesting about this account of Israel’s time in the wilderness was that REQUIRED that the FATHER had to chastise, bring judgment upon them to get their attention FOCUSED back on HIM.

PSALMS 78: 3 When HE slew them, then they sought HIM: and they returned and inquired early after GOD..

ARE WE LIKE THAT TOO?

 IS that what it is going to take to get our ATTENTION focused on HIM?

The Father had REVEALED HIMSELF to them many times, giving them DELIVERANCE and HEALING:

HE was able to pour manna from heaven, part a sea, guide them by day with a cloud, by fire at night gave them water from a rock, heal them of the snakes, plagues  etc.

ODDLY the more GOOD and Deliverance HE brought into their LIVES the more they seemed to sin and doubted HIM.

PSALMS 78: 17 they sinned more against HIM by provoking the MOST HIGH in the wilderness.

PSALMS 78: 34  When he slew them, then they sought him: and they returned and enquired early after God.

Or you RECEIVING the GOOD HE offers and gives into your LIFE with PRAISE and WORSHIP or are you “DOUBTING” or even worse spending your time FOCUSED and concerned on the ENEMIES/snakes WORK in the WORLD??

Really what can you do when the World is gone to hell or the serpents begin to bite at your heels?

You can prepare till your monies are run out

You can worry till all you have is anxiety

You can run till your life is destroyed

All of which STRIPS the very peace and joy out of your life.

None of which truly brings any form of PEACE or COMFORT to your soul or life:

NUMBERS 21: 8 And the LORD said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live.

While the WORLD is snipping at your heels, LOOK UP and be DELIVERED!!!

LOOK UP UPON the SERPENT on the POLE, stop focusing on the snakes around you, that are snipping at your heels, have CONFIDENCE, TRUST, PEACE and HARMONY with the LORD.

Give your worries, anxieties and concerns to the LORD, and proclaim GOD IS GOD, for in ALL YOUR TROUBLES and TRIALS HE is ABLE to deliver and heal.

I CHOOSE to live in peace and harmony with the SPIRIT Of the LORD, stedfast and secure in my faith… AMEN

DECLARE!!!

MY deliverance is coming one day by death, by life, or by rapture.

Psalms 78: 1 Give ear, O my people, [to] my law: incline your ears to the words of my mouth.

MY HOPE IS IN GOD, the ONE THAT CAN!!!

HAVE WE FORGOTTEN THE MARVELOUS THINGS HE CAN DO??

PUT YOUR "HOPE" in GOD, and not forget HIS MIGHTY WORKS...

Psalms 78: 7 That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments:

PSLAMS 78: 10 They kept not the covenant of God, and refused to walk in his law;

Psalms 78: 11 And forgat his works, and his wonders that he had shewed them.

Psalms 78: 12 Marvellous things did he in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, [in] the field of Zoan.

Psalms 78: 13  He divided the sea, and caused them to pass through; and he made the waters to stand as an heap.

Psalms 78: 14n the daytime also he led them with a cloud, and all the night with a light of fire.

Psalms 78: 15 He clave the rocks in the wilderness, and gave [them] drink as [out of] the great depths.

Psalms 78: 16  He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers.

CONCLUSION: 

SPEND TIME, ENCOURAGING YOUR OWN FAITH, BELIEF, TRUST in HIM, through reading the WORD, offering HIM PRAISE and WORSHIP, have a HEART Of GRATITUDE!!

Take your eyes off the world for awhile.

Look up from the bites of the serpent and PRAISE HIM that you may live in JOY, PEACE and HARMONY with the SPIRIT of the LORD.

TURN OFF THE WORLD and TURN ON YOUR PRAISE!!

CONNECT to YOUR GOD through MUSIC in your HOME, open your DOOR, and TAKE a DEEP BREATH, INHALE HIS PRESENCE and then take a good look at HIS CREATION. 

WHO could create such an AWESOME WORLD but our MIGHTY CREATOR!!!

DEATH is going to come to us one way or the other. Do not spend all your time focused on the works of the enemy.

BE a sweet smell in the nostrils of the FATHER and the LORD JESUS:

SING PRAISE SONGS, WORSHIP HIM, Spread your joy, peace, your hope and your confidence in HIM and what HE can do.

Spending this time LOVING your family and be a TESTIMONY to JESUS CHRIST!!!

YOU WILL BE BETTER FOR IT!!!! AMEN..

FOR HE IS ABLE!!!!!

YOU HAVE TO DECIDE to "COME TO THE TABLE"!!!

IF I STAND

The STUFF OF EARTH COMPETES for the ALLEGIANCE, I owe ONLY TO THE GIVER OF ALL GOOD!!!

SO IF I STAND, LET ME STAND ON THE PROMISE, that "YOU" will pull me through!!! AMEN and AMEN…

Who is your GOD? Where is HIS GLORY among us?

In times like this, the Psalmist has often Pleaded for GOD to remember HIS people, His covenant, and His sheep etc.

Are you drawing near? Are you seeking HIM out? Or are you too busy seeing out the work of the enemy and giving the enemy the Glory that belongs to the LORD.

For without the LORD, man has NO HOPE, NO SAFE HAVEN, NO MERCY, NO Rain, NO Sun, NOTHING GOOD.  etc.

There is only darkness, desolation, destruction etc.

A PLEA to the LORD from the Psalmist:

Psalms 74: 1 [Maschil of Asaph.]] O God, why hast thou cast [us] off for ever? [why] doth thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture?

Psalms 74: 2  Remember thy congregation, [which] thou hast purchased of old; the rod of thine inheritance, [which] thou hast redeemed; this mount Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt.

Pslams 74: 3  Lift up thy feet unto the perpetual desolations; [even] all [that] the enemy hath done wickedly in the sanctuary.

This Psalmist had spiritual eyes to see that the “ENEMIES” were in the midst of the congregation and they were SETTING up their “ensigns”

Very interesting the meaning of ensigns/signs. Do you see the correlation?

Psalms 74: 4  Thine enemies roar in the midst of thy congregations; they set up their ensigns [for] signs.

Probably from אוֹת (H225) (in the sense of appearing)

1) sign, signal

a) a distinguishing mark

b) banner

c) remembrance

d) miraculous sign

e) omen

f) warning

2) token, ensign, standard, miracle, proof

Psalms 74: 7 They have cast fire into thy sanctuary, they have defiled [by casting down] the dwelling place of thy name to the ground.

Psalms 74: 8 They said in their hearts, Let us destroy them together: they have burned up all the synagogues of God in the land

Psalms 74: 9 We see not our signs: [there is] no more any prophet: neither [is there] among us any that knoweth how long.

Psalms 74: 10 O God, how long shall the adversary reproach? shall the enemy blaspheme thy name for ever?

The CREATOR of the UNIVERSE that knoweth all things:

PSLAMS 74: 12-23 ( the MIGHTINESS OF HIS PRAISE)

PSALMS 74: 12  For God [is] my King of old, working salvation in the midst of the earth.

Psalms 74: 13  Thou didst divide the sea by thy strength: thou brakest the heads of the dragons in the waters.

Pslams 74: 14  Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces, [and] gavest him [to be] meat to the people inhabiting the wilderness.

Psalms 74: 15  Thou didst cleave the fountain and the flood: thou driedst up mighty rivers.

Psalms 74: 16 The day [is] thine, the night also [is] thine: thou hast prepared the light and the sun.

Psalms 74: 17  Thou hast set all the borders of the earth: thou hast made summer and winter.

GIVE GLORY TO THE LORD!!!!!

Where it BELONGS.. For you are at HIS MERCY!!!   AMEN

The Covenant I have with my LORD began with HIM LOVING ME, even before I knew HIM.

Through a revelation of WHO HE is, I acknowledge HIM for WHO HE is and LOVE HIM and obey HIM in return!!! 

GOD LOVES ME, what else could I possibility need!!!

I am REDEEMED!!!! . 

because of HIM I am a sweet scent in the nostrils of MY FATHER 

ABBA!!!!
