Righteousness Produces Great Joy

The woman with the alabaster box took time to minister to the Lord. We can’t stop ministering to the Lord in turbulent times. They were getting ready to crucify Jesus, and life appeared to be soo uncertain as the days progressed. Now think about his ministry as things are transpiring today. He did what he did so that we could come through our trials and live. For through the years, he has been our help, our comfort, our strength, our wisdom, our joy, our peace, our preservation. Let’s not turn and become callous, through tribulations, but earnestly look at what he has done. Let’s minister to the Lord.

Mark 14:3-9
3 And being in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at meat, there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment of spikenard very precious; and she brake the box, and poured it on his head.
4 And there were some that had indignation within themselves, and said, Why was this waste of the ointment made?
5 For it might have been sold for more than three hundred pence, and have been given to the poor. And they murmured against her.
6 And Jesus said, Let her alone; why trouble ye her? she hath wrought a good work on me.
7 For ye have the poor with you always, and whensoever ye will ye may do them good: but me ye have not always.
8 She hath done what she could: she is come aforehand to anoint my body to the burying.
9 Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, this also that she hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her.

A Covenant Or Contract, has blessings attached to it, but the same Covenant Or Contract has curses attached to it as well. People that go into Covenant Or Contract naturally are very aware of the advantages associated with compliance, and what takes place if the Covenant Or Contract is violated or broken. Some think, and I did too for a while, that Our loving God has know limits to his forgiveness. That only applies if your working to making corrections. Many Ministries have disregarded the whole Gospel and have caused the sheep to grow up crookedly. Then when things occur that violate their form of teaching, the sheep have become confused, and many fall away. You hear Christians make statements like, “ I am going to fix this problem myself and then ask God’s forgiveness.” Or “ I am going to lay my religion down and fight with you, then I will pick it up again, God will forgive me.” This is so unfortunate because many are reaping the error of theirs ways right now, but there is hope if you will change your direction and become a student of God’s word for yourself.

Hebrews 10:26

26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, 27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries. 28 He that despised Moses’ law died without mercy under two or three witnesses: 29 Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace? 30 For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people. 31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

God is a Love God, and he requires trust, or “Faith.” That’s what Faith is. When you were a baby, naturally your parents took care of you because you were helpless without your parents. A new born baby Christian is like this, provided there is proper nurturing of the more mature around them. But that baby Christian has an advantage if it cleaves to God in its infancy stage, for God can get that baby Christian to the right places if it will cleave to the God of love. The same God that saved can keep if he is trusted. Now, as a natural child grows and develops the trust for his parents, “talking about everything being equal,” the child trusts that parent because the parent has always taken care of him, or her. There is a solid trust and because of this there is a solid love. So when we talk about love and trusting God, if that baby Christian doesn’t cleave to God as a natural child does it natural parents, trust will break up.

Our Father God has said that there was an enemy out to stop us, and if we would keep close to Him in fellowship, and obedience to His word, then nothing could harm us. Our Faith or trust would be as the natural child’s toward his or her parents. Nothing in between, nothing to injure, because we stay in His arms through his word and fellowship. But there is GREAT MERCY.

If we have experienced great loss and tragic events, God is reaching out to us and showing us the way back into a secure place. Many years ago, I learned this lesson. God said to me, I will help you, I will build you back up, I will strengthen your mind, I will keep you. I will be with you in trouble, deliver and honor you. Once I was able to relax and trust him again, He has never ceased to fulfill those words in my life. God my Father is Gracious. He want to be gracious to you.

Dwelling in the secret place is a full commitment to diligence, let’s start again, let’s begin.

Psalms 91

1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty

Would God ask us to do something he was unwilling to do himself? Think about this, Peter asked Jesus, “how many times shall my brother sin and I forgive him till seven times? Jesus answer was starting and astounding. Jesus reply was till 70 times 7 in a day Matthew 18:22, but wait a minute, you have to look at that in both directions. That means if you miss the mark and sin, how many times will God the father forgive you? Would he require something that he himself was unwilling to do? The answer is no. Take this to heart and go free. Don’t let the devil lie to you and say God will not forgive you anymore. Most of the time we’re in a growth process. No, go ahead and serve the Lord without that condemnation. ( there is another group of people that could care less, we are not talking about those who would play roulette with God.) You can jump forward, and get well and succeed if you never let this truth depart. What he did in the Old Testament, he does more through Jesus our Lord.

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. 2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: 3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; 4 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; 5 Who 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.

1 John 1: 9
9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

 

Receiving a gift is not difficult, you reach forth your hands, and take hold of what’s presented. Naturally if thieves and robbers are alerted that your receiving a gift, they plot to take away from you what you get or try to intercept it before it reaches your hands. If you are not properly prepared, they may prosper and keep the gift. The spiritual realm is no different. God has given unto us the abundance of Grace and the gift of Righteousness. But if you are unaware and unprepared, then Satan will catch you in a snare, and shake not only what was given away, but cause you to live in depravity and dismay. But if a thief be caught the scriptures say, he must pay back sevenfold.

Proverbs 6:31

Yet if he is caught, he must pay sevenfold, though it costs him all the wealth of his house

Prophetic Utterance

In the highways, across the seas, through the thoroughfares, In hamlets and cottages, in high places, seeking. Seeking for those who have arrayed themselves with garments of meekness and humbleness of heart, that we may bestow upon them the inheritance promised their fathers and show great mercy to their seed in their generation.

Psalms 37:11

“But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace

Matthew 5:5
5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth
◄ 2 Chronicles 16:9

For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him.

Tribunal-A court of justice. Standing before a tribunal of the land could be a great thing if they are operating under God’s Hand. That’s a safe place, a place of proper recompense, a place where that which was stolen can be replaced. That’s a place where the people rejoice, for therein lies quietness and assurances forever. What a wonderful place that could be. If you are in the family of God, learn about God’s Tribunal. It supersedes all else when your versed in it.

Psalm 19:7-14

7 The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple.
8 The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes.
9 The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.
10 More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
11 Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.

Ohhhh, the peace, the unashamed heart. The confidence, the free following fellowship, that simply turns to hear what the Father says. Nothing hindering, no hesitation, a continuous communion, with the God of Power and Might. This is the testimony of those who chose a life outside of strife.

1 John3:18-22

18 My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.
19 And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him.
20 For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.
21 Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God.
22 And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.

He is moving all around the earth. Visiting hungry hearts, filling them to capacity with his joy. For being born again is the way to enter in. Jesus Saves, Jesus Saves! The announcement has been made. Would you like your hungry heart to be filled? God is moving by His Spirit upon your life right now. Say Jesus, come into my heart, I make you the Lord of my life. Forgive me of my sins. I turn from them.

There is no greater joy than knowing that Jesus is inside of your heart. You will radiate peace.

Hebrews 7:25

Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them
