OUR REVELATION IN THE PSALMS

-

Psalm 85:13

Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set [us] in the way of his steps.


When we read the Psalms we see more than just the singing of songs, or rhymes to poetry or writings. It is not just the memory of the experiences of the people of Israel or the happenings to David or the other kings of those times.


We see revelation born out of true worship, praise and intercession to our Heavenly Father. The greatest of all being the prophesy of the revelation of the Messiah and the great things He will do for all people.


This is why, the Messiah the Christ quoted from there, so did Paul and Peter and others who wrote. The old testament fulfilled in its revelation by the very Spirit of God, the Spirit of prophesy. For all scriptures testify of the Messiah, Jesus the Christ. Halleluyah.


John 5:39

Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.


In Psalm 85 we see the declaration of God's mercy, forgiveness of sins and cleansing.


Psalm 85:2

Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people, thou hast covered all their sin. Selah.


1John 1:7

 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.


Psalm 85:7

Shew us thy mercy, O LORD, and grant us thy salvation.


2 Corinthians 5:18

And all things [are] of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;


Psalm 85:9

Surely his salvation [is] nigh them that fear him; that glory may dwell in our land.


We are not perfect/changed yet, for it has to be in His coming:


1John 3:2

Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.


However He did not leave us alone, He made us a part of His kingdom, we are joint heirs with Christ Jesus, though we are not yet there, we live as citizens, we are the extension of His kingdom here on earth. He gave us His Holy Spirit as a seal and witness.


We see the revelation of God's kingdom, yes the release of His Spirit:


Psalm 85:10

Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed [each other].


Yes that is the revelation of God's kingdom:


Romans 14:17

For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.


Glory to God, yes we were brought into God's kingdom.


We must also be careful that we do not loose that which has been given. How can we have such a great salvation and then turn back to foolishness?


Psalm 85:8

I will hear what God the LORD will speak: for he will speak peace unto his people, and to his saints: but let them not turn again to folly.


Hebrews 10:38-39

Now the just shall live by faith: but if [any man] draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.

But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.


A great thing the Lord has done for us, we will not take it for granted. We will take full advantage of this sonship, we will fulfill purpose, we will bring Him glory. Halleluyah


Let all the earth give Him praise, for He will yet make all things right again.


Psalms 85:11-13

Truth springs up from the earth, and righteousness smiles down from heaven.

Yes, the Lord pours down his blessings. Our land will yield its bountiful harvest.

Righteousness goes as a herald before him, preparing the way for his steps.


We are the benefactors of these great revelations. Let us give praise to Him who made us worthy.


He calls us blessed.


Love

DO YOU STILL SEE?

Habakkuk 2:3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, it will not tarry. It may have been easy when we first believed, to visualize the promises. We reach out with zeal, loving God, seeking to do exploits. That was when we first believed, just as Jesus said: John 3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." When we become born again we see God's kingdom, our spirit man is reborn and we count the flesh as nothing. Then time passes by, we are in the world, all its distractions, temptations, responsibilities, challenges and so on begin to reveal themselves. The question then is: * Can we still see heaven? John 3:3 * Are we still zealous? John 2:17 * Are we continuing in those things? Acts 2:42 * Are we walking in love? 1John 4:7 or Has the cares and worries of life and service ta

DO UNTO OTHERS . . .

-
Matthew 7:12 "Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. It is hypocritical of us to expect people to stand with us when we are experiencing challenges yet when we see others face their own challenges, we begin to imagine what they must have done wrong or maybe they annoyed God or did one evil or the other instead of reaching out to help as we would desire others to do for us. The same thing goes for prosperity, when the Lord opens a door for us and we have abundance of wealth or a breakthrough we expect others to rejoice with us, more so, some would even find it hard to give to others. What is our reaction when someone else gets this breakthrough, do we get suddenly suspicious without reason. Do we expect the person to reach out to us? It is better to stay on the side of encouragement than to sit as a judge or prosecutor. Jesus said, Matthew 7:2 "For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the same

MY YEAR OF FULFILMENT

-
Psalms 57:2 I cry out to God Most High, to God who will fulfill his purpose for me. We just finished the book of 1Samuel, in this book we see the cry of Israel for a king and how God raised Saul to rule them. We also saw how Saul disobeyed God and lost kingship for himself and his generation. He did not stop there, he went on to seek for the death of David, whom he saw as the next heir of the throne. In chapter 31, the last chapter, we see how Saul and all his sons and men were killed, it was tragic, however it was as a sign of relief for David. We could go on counting all the struggles and difficulties we faced in the past year. No, we should not, we should begin to look at all the positives, remembering all the good things God has done for us. If He promised it, He will do it and that is what we hold onto as we go through this year. Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise. This is the year of fulfilment, and
