Things appearing genuine on the outside, are surely known as we live from our hearts, (or spirits), and not just our heads, ( or minds). God is a Spirit and we were created in his image, even though we have a physical body, and a mind or ( intellect). As you pray and become quiet before the Lord, he will witness to your heart the legitimacy of a situation. This is so powerful, we can be accurate continually, always making proper decisions.
Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come John 14:13
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.
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.
6 The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed.
Yours for His. Approaching God he’s asked, what’s that in your hand? It is an astonishing fact that God uses what we already possess to minister strength to us and to the nations. We have his Holy Word, and his word requires us to wait upon Him; meaning “to serve him”. As we pray for others, speak words of encouragement, give to the poor Proverbs 19:4, then strength becomes an active part of our inheritance.
Isaiah 40:31 King James Version (KJV)
31 But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
Isaiah 60 King James Version (KJV)
60 Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee.
2 For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.
Early on in the lives of those that the Lord has so chosen, he refines, he sharpens, he prepares them for the monumental tasks ahead. If you find yourself in this category rejoice! Now stay in position for your on the launching pad. You shall be sooo elated as to where your are going from here.
John 3:21 King James Version (KJV)
21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God
Shipmen are guided safely both day and night, by trusting the navigational devices on board or in sight. The Word of his righteousness in which you possess, keeps your gaze, and will deliver you in many ways.
Isaiah 32:17
King James Bible
And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever
Ohh yes these guys, (Angels) are real, and they are big. I have seen them on several occasions, working on my behalf and on the behalf of others. On one such occasion, I was in the presence of one who had an angry violent spirit. That individual began to speak very abrasively to me. One of these angels appeared to my side. He had a sword that was in his hand. It was pointed towards the ground it had the writing on it, “Salvation.” It was interesting because the sword appeared to be blunt or squared off instead of pointed or sharp. Seconds after his appearance, the individual tuck his head and walked away. I can imagine the Apostles reaction when released from that prison and the angels said, “go stand in the temple and preach all the words of this life.” Acts 5:20.
Brothers and Sisters, live in right standing with God, and believe his word. These are not just fables and stories of yesteryear. God is the same and his words will never fail.
Psalms 91:10-12
10There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
11For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
12They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
For the one who is maturing understands, that if those people could see behind the scenes, what manner of spirit was driving them into darkness, they would flee from it’s influence and embrace the King. The maturing believer will pray and intercede, and petition God for their souls. Did you know God is able to pull back the curtain and show the sinner his ways? Sure, He’s depending upon you and me to so maneuver in gentleness that he can reach them before it’s too late.
Love becomes gentle when dealing with those dangling over a precipice. You may be the one that is responsible for them hearing clearly the message of our Lord and escaping an undesirable end.
Colossians 3:12 New International Version (NIV)
12 Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.
Ahh, from the very beginning of time, It was God’s greatest desire to dwell with his man. But the sin of man separated him from his purposes. Ohhh but because of our Precious Lord and Savior, the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, not only does he dwell among us, he makes his tabernacle within the hearts of men. Hallelujah!
But wait! It gets better. Soon he will move his physical (spiritual) residence and dwell in the midst of his people.
And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God Revelation 21:3
