Power in the Psalms

Psalms 91:1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. 2Thessalonians 3:3 But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep [you] from evil. When we read the psalms and other prophetic books of the scriptures we should remember: Colossians 2:17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body [is] of Christ. Hebrews 8:5 Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, [that] thou make all things according to the pattern shewed to thee in the mount. The potency of these books is still certain today as it was in old times. God respects His inspired word and that was why Jesus declared himself from these scriptures: Isaiah 61:1&2 The Spirit of the Lord GOD [is] upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the capti...

YOUR HEALING

Malachi 4:2 But to you who fear My name the Sun of Righteousness shall arise with healing in His wings; and you shall go out and grow fat like stall-fed calves. Our Loving Father The desires that we should be in good health. When we talk of healing it goes also includes emotion, mental and psychological healings. For many walk around looking strong yet they carry the burden of depression, hurts, traumas and many more aftermath of unpleasant experiences and betrayal. The healing of the Lord covers all that. Jesus was announced as: Luke 4:18-19 “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, for he has anointed me to bring Good News to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim that captives will be released, that the blind will see, that the oppressed will be set free, and that the time of the Lord’s favor has come.” It was Christ reading Isiah 61 letting all know why He came. The earth consists of things which could make our natural body weak and fall to sickness. Some ailments were from birth, some dev...

GOD STAYS AWAKE FOR US

Psalm 121:4&5 Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. The LORD [is] thy keeper: the LORD [is] thy shade upon thy right hand. A song by Don Moen reads: Our God is able. He is mighty. He is faithful. And He never sleeps He never slumbers He never tires of hearing our prayer When we are weak He becomes stronger So rest in His love and cast all of your cares on Him. That is a clear explanation of God's love for us. He stays awake for us! It takes a loving Father to sacrifice so much to take care of His children. All glory to His name. John 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, [even] to them that believe on his name: It is in Christ Jesus that we enjoy the fruit of the covenant for He is the fulfilment of the covenant. Halleluyah. 2 Corinthians 1:20 For all of God’s promises have been fulfilled in Christ with a resounding “Yes!” And through Christ, our “Amen” (which means “Yes”) ascends to God for his glory. We th...

GOD SHOWS UP

Luke 8:43-44 And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed of any, Came behind [him], and touched the border of his garment: and immediately her issue of blood stanched. This woman had been going through this pain for twelve years. She had visited places, she had spent so much money. All hope seemed lost, but God showed up! Glory. What we preach today is that, as believers who enjoy grace, God dwells in us by his Holy Spirit. 1Corinthians 6:19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost [which is] in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? Revelation 3:20 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. John 14:17 [Even] the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. ...

WHY SERVE THE LORD?

1 Corinthians 15:58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord. Never in vain, yes, however some may begin to ask, why was this person or that person not blessed and yet they served the Lord.  Well, we never truly know the circumstance of a person from a distance, we need to get close. All is not always what it seems. One truth is sure though, the Lord does not disappoint, He doesn't fail. 1 Peter 5:10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle [you]. Some would ask: how do I serve the Lord, is it by joining church activities? Yes, that is part of it but serving the Lord goes beyond just the gathering and activities. It entails our everyday life.  Our family Our job/work/business Our neighborhood Our communities Our nation What do...

BE GOOD, IT IS WORTH IT.

1 Corinthians 15:58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord. It is not strange to get tired of doing good. We understand that the world we live in cannot be described as good because of the system operating in it. We therefore need to look beyond it to see the reason for continuing in good works. 1 Corinthians 15:19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. Most who walk in wickedness or unrighteousness either do not believe in the life after or have chosen to ignore or blur it out of their minds. Therefore, when they think that it ends here, it is almost as if they say "there is no God". 1 Timothy 4:2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; However, we know that it goes beyond here, our spirit bears us witness that this world is not all there is, we will yet live after here and ...

WE TESTIFY

Psalms 71:7-8 My life is an example to many because you have been my strength and protection. That is why I can never stop praising you; I declare your glory all day long. We cannot afford to speak only of the difficulties, trials and temptations we face. Even some who do not speak out show it in their expression and attitude. We ought to learn to testify of His goodness. How Our attitude. Psalm 18:49 Therefore will I give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the heathen, and sing praises unto thy name. For those who receive good also give out good. Those who receive evil are expected to also show forth its attitude. Matthew 5:16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. Luke 6:36 Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful. We show forth the character that displays the home we come from. Thus if we have been reborn, gotten the new birth, we testify of the heavenly. There is no excuse, we live in times wh...
