You want to celebrate all things that come forth from our Lord. For in the celebration of what he has provided, the Lord hears it. You know he enjoys your celebration. It becomes to him a memorial in your honor. And the more you celebrate, the more he goes behind you to set up more opportunities that will cause you to burst forth into praise and adoration. Friends, let’s celebrate the strength that he has provided for us. Philippians. 4:13 I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me.
Malachi 3:16-18
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. 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. 18 Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not.
Can it be, is it possible that a structure could withstand the torrents Of rain and the gusts of wind that damage the houses in its vicinity? What cause that structure to stay in tact? Many Saints have made their stand upon the promises made to them by God. There are numerous testimonies around the world of God’s keeping power. Jesus gave us a key to understanding how to get God to keep your house. Luke 6:47-49
47 Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like:
48 He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock.
49 But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that without a foundation built an house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great.
One of God’s greatest dreams is that you would turn your attention to him. You see he loves you soo much, he yearns to show you his great love. Some have met him but even they are going to be surprised at how he blesses them as they fix their gaze on his loveliness through the word. He designed everything pleasant that you see with you in mind, in hopes that you would look to him and you and he together could make beautiful the things of your life. And even before you call on him, he already had a plan. He sent Jesus to aid you so that when you extend your hand he could reach out and take you in his arms a share with you why life is worth living with him. John 3:16
When I recall the Lord’s gentle and merciful ways towards me, it reminds me that when I see others staggering and stumbling, to speak meekly and humbly to them. My my, you don’t know how a word spoken in season would have an affect upon them. That word especially spoken with tender concern can cause them to take a second look at what was said. For if in this life, I’m left to fend alone, for all comfort has departed and encouragement is gone, I could still achieve you see, but compassion and mercy would grant grace to me.
Eph. 4:30-32
30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. 31 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: 32 And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.
In the Old Testament, the dignitaries would sit in the gates. Archeologists have unearthed some of the of Solemonic gates at Gezer, Hazor, Meggido. Men would approach the city, but they had to stop at the gate and request permission to enter. You must realize that you sit at the gate of your own soul. To have a fortified soul you must remain sober, and diligent to guard the entrance with an undeminishing resolve, to ward off anything that would compromise your stand on the word of God. Then the mind remains strong and so does your life.
1 Peter 5:8,9
8 “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:” 9 “Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.”
We’re familiar with our surroundings, because we were privileged to have viewed them initially in the light. So when night comes, or a light is switched off, we can still generally maneuver around our familiar settings with little to know effort. However, when your born into the Kingdom Of God, Through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the light needed to navigate successfully in his Kingdom is found in the written word of God. Commit to the study, and analyzation of the scriptures. You have become a citizen of an immovable Unshakable Kingdom.
I pray this prayer over you found in Col. 1:9-14. ………, I do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;
10 That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;
11 Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness;
12 Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:
13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:
14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:
If you haven’t as of yet asked Jesus to come into your heart, do so now. Say Jesus, I invite you to come into my heart and be the Lord of my life. I turn away from my sins. Thank you for hearing my prayer and receiving me into the family of God. In Jesus, amen.
To those who look into the perfect law of liberty, and continue, there in, (the keys is to continue and not allow the wicked one to corrupt the text in your thinking,) this man or woman will be blessed, that is empowered to prosper in his deeds. James 1;25 That includes living until your satisfied.
Not to long ago, the devil challenged me on this part of the word. I had been preaching for the missionary evangelist group that I am a part of. I came home and found my dad, who was 86 at the time, lying in the floor in a pool of blood. He was conscious and I called EMSA and had him immediately taken to the hospital. While I was cleaning up that blood, there was so much all over the floor, the devil said I’m going to kill him. I said no your not! Jesus shed his blood for my Dad, so his blood will replace this blood devil! I LOCKED INTO THE PERFECT LAW OF LIBERTY. I Declared the word of God, night and day. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you and your house shall be saved, that includes my dad, Acts 16:31, With long life will I satisfy him and show him my salvation Psalms 91:16 that’s my dad, he’s not satisfied neither am I. We have the New Testament and Old Testament blessings amen? No weapon formed against me shall prosper and every tongue, ( that includes Satan’s) that rises up against me shall be condemned. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord. (Because I walk under covenant protection Isaiah 54:19. )Well he tried to fight my mind, but I countered him with the word of God, I didn’t cast out God’s word and begin to look at something else. My brothers and sisters, my Dad walked away from that hospital, he just had his birthday January 10th. My God is faithful to me, because I am faithful to his word. I have authority in my household, you can have it too. But begin to build these truths into your heart. It will take time, but it’s well worth the effort.
Psalms 103:1-6.
1{A Psalm of David.} Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.
2Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:
3Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;
4Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;
5Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
6The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed.
What does the Lord require of you? If your willing to obey, he will rend the heavens on your behalf so that lack, and the word of God being so obscure in your Land, will be replaced by torrents of Blessings to your people, and he will put you at the helm of the ship. You will be his under captain.
Luke 5 King James Version (KJV)
5 And it came to pass, that, as the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret,
2 And saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing their nets.
3 And he entered into one of the ships, which was Simon’s, and prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the land. And he sat down, and taught the people out of the ship.
4 Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught.
5 And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net.
6 And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake.
7 And they beckoned unto their partners, which were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink.
Are you called into the military? Then grace be your wonderful equipment. Are you a teacher? Then grace be your wonderful equipment. Are you called upon to sing before the masses? Then grace be your wonderful equipment. Invest yourself into the industry, throughly immersing your whole being. Ahhhhhh, now you understand what it takes to operate in grace.
1 Cor. 15:10. But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.
If someone doesn’t except deliverance that means it was offered, and they declined.
When we read in the book of Hebrews, concerning those who were utterly shielded by God, the author also takes note of those who refused to accept deliverance. Make sure that you understand, that it was not because God didn’t offer it. And so in your life, you make the decision whether to be a recipient of his protection in this life or not.
Hebrews 11 :35
King James Version (KJV)
Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection:
Hebrews 1:14 King James Version (KJV)
14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation
Hebrews 2:1-5 King James Version (KJV)
2 Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.
2 For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward;
3 How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him;
4 God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will?
