Walk!

The call for all believers today is to walk this world, worthy of the call of God on your lives. The main objective is to live a life of holiness, in a world whose operating manual is not, the Holy Bible.



Psalms 116:8-9 (NIV)
For you, O LORD, have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling, that I may walk before the LORD in the land of the living.

Open Book

Gracious Father, through the ministry of your Holy Spirit help my life to be an open book, before you and the world. That others my read and observe your love and compassion through my life. Amen


Romans 2:12-16 (NIV)
All who sin apart from the law will also perish apart from the law, and all who sin under the law will be judged by the law. For it is not those who hear the law who are righteous in God's sight, but it is those who obey the law who will be declared righteous. (Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature things required by the law, they are a law for themselves, even though they do not have the law, since they show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts now accusing, now even defending them.) This will take place on the day when God will judge men's secrets through Jesus Christ, as my gospel declares.

Trust in the Lord

The Word of God is powerfully accurate!

As I observe the destructiveness displayed in the lives of people today, it seems to be a tightening spiral of a world almost ready to implode.

Psalms 36:2 (NIV)
For in his own eyes he flatters himself too much to detect or hate his sin.

The remedy is expressed!

Psalms 37:3-7 (NIV)
Trust in the LORD and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture. Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him and he will do this: He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn, the justice of your cause like the noonday sun. Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him; do not fret when men succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes.

Prophets

Jeremiah 23:18 (NIV)
But which of them has stood in the council of the LORD to see or to hear his word? Who has listened and heard his word?

Jeremiah 23:22 (NIV)
But if they had stood in my council, they would have proclaimed my words to my people and would have turned them from their evil ways and from their evil deeds.


It is time for the Prophets to be accountable to God.

Psalm 2 ~ Meditation

Psalms 2:1-12 (NIV)
1 Why do the nations conspire and the peoples plot in vain? 2 The kings of the earth take their stand and the rulers gather together against the LORD and against his Anointed One. 3 "Let us break their chains," they say, "and throw off their fetters."

Why indeed? Not only Israel with it’s rich history of deliverance by God’s direct intervention, but all other nations to today, continue to abandon the Divine Plan.

4 The One enthroned in heaven laughs; the Lord scoffs at them. 5 Then he rebukes them in his anger and terrifies them in his wrath, saying, 6 "I have installed my King on Zion, my holy hill."

Who is the King? Saul, David, or Jesus?
God’s anointed is the King!

7 I will proclaim the decree of the LORD: He said to me, "You are my Son; today I have become your Father. 8 Ask of me, and I will make the nations your inheritance, the ends of the earth your possession. 9 You will rule them with an iron scepter; you will dash them to pieces like pottery."

A response from the King, “Ask of me.”
Are the Nations to be ruled by His subjects, when the earth is restored?

10 Therefore, you kings, be wise; be warned, you rulers of the earth. 11 Serve the LORD with fear and rejoice with trembling. 12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry and you be destroyed in your way, for his wrath can flare up in a moment. Blessed are all who take refuge in him.

Blessed are His people!
Are these the people whose names are in the Lamb’s Book of life? Revelation 20:15 (NIV)
If anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.

Evaluate

How do you see your fellow humans?
What are the criteria you use for evaluating people?

We can see people as those who have more than us financially. Or possibly having more acceptable looks, or stature than us. Perhaps even a better quality of employment. This would have us following the ideas of perfection that the media industry, perpetrate on an unsuspecting public each day. So it is easy to fall into the trap of believing that the information packed ideas are the truth.

Psalm 1:5 (KJV)
Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

The criteria the God uses, is simply those who have a personal relationship with Him, and those who do not. This is truly a case of the haves and the have nots, but on a spiritual scale.

The Battle is ON!

I want to use this Blog, as a more select group of people read it.

This afternoon, a man came to the office. He had been to our night meeting last Sunday, and arrived in an agitated state, and left with a calmness that was very evident. It was my privilege to sit in the meeting with this man. At times a breath of fresh air would have been appreciated also. I have seen glimpses of a beautiful person inside this man, who has put up many and varied barriers to the spiritual things of life. I believe that God is beginning to do some amazing things, and today I was able to pray over him, for the protection of this special man. There is a real battle going on, and he has a physical part to play, in this spiritual battle.
The battle has been going on for many years, but the signs at present are indicating a crisis, or culmination.

Holy Spirit, come, with more power!



Ephes. 6:12 (KJV)
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.


Rev. 3:20 (KJV)
Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
