BE LIFTED

-

Psalms 30:11-12

You have turned my mourning into joyful dancing. 

You have taken away my clothes of mourning and clothed me with joy, that I might sing praises to you and not be silent. 

O Lord my God, I will give you thanks forever!


Sometime ago while listening to a clip of one of our revival ministers he said: "No one who cried Lord help me, is ignored"(paraphrased)


I thought deeply about it for a while and in meditation it was obvious that Christ said it:


John 6:37

However, those the Father has given me will come to me, and I will never reject them.


Joel 2:32a

But everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved, 


Romans 10:13

For “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”


Can we see the key word:


Everyone!


The Lord's compassion is on everyone and He desires everyone to be saved. The Lord's greatest salvation of all, is the salvation of one's soul, then we could consider all other things that we need salvation for.


Mark 8:37

Is anything worth more than your soul?


Matthew 6:33

Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.


This is why people wonder why they have not received somethings, one reason is that your soul is being preserved. For if the Lord just releases all things to us as we ask, the whole universe will be in chaos.


Look at that wonderful miracle that occured when Joshua, asked that the sun should stand still. If at the swift of every emotion or threat we begin to command and speak to the sun, moon and the four winds of the earth, by this time with the type of unknowledgeable and sometimes arrogant people who have flocked into ministry the whole earth would have been in total annihilation.


So, the Lord wants to deliver you and lift you up. Listen, He pleasures in your prosperity.


Listen again, when God made us humans, He placed us in an already prosperous place, everything was already in place for us to enjoy. Even when it seemed man was lonely, He extended man by bringing out of Him his feminism to have a help meet. So truly God wants us to prosper, however never at the expense of our soul.


So He will lift you up. Don't ever think for a moment that He pleasures in any pain or difficulty you are going through. For even most things we call troubles may just be challenges we need to pass to enable us move to the next level. Why should the Lord deny you of that?


For long ago, it was prophesied:


Jeremiah 29:11-13

For I know the plans I have for you,” says the lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.

In those days when you pray, I will listen.

If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me.


So brethren - Stay lifted.


He calls us blessed.


Love

MAINTAIN A GODLY MARRIAGE

-
Judges 13:2-3,6,10 In those days a man named Manoah from the tribe of Dan lived in the town of Zorah. His wife was unable to become pregnant, and they had no children. The angel of the Lord appeared to Manoah’s wife and said, “Even though you have been unable to have children, you will soon become pregnant and give birth to a son. The woman ran and told her husband, “A man of God appeared to me! He looked like one of God’s angels, terrifying to see. I didn’t ask where he was from, and he didn’t tell me his name. So she quickly ran and told her husband, “The man who appeared to me the other day is here again!” We live in times when the institution of marriage is being destroyed from in and out of the church. Divorce rate is high and many are in a marriage but are not happy therein. What is the problem? God has been taken out of the equation. How? Jesus said: Matthew 19:8 Jesus replied, “Moses permitted divorce only as a concession to your hard hearts, but it was not what God had origina

Remember: God is in control.

As we go through the 11th month of this year of accomplishment, let us be reminded. When it seems to hurt so much, or it all looks quiet and alone, when it appears not to work out. Please don't give up, God is still in control Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. My dear it is not about how you feel, and not about what it seems, it is about what He Has promised and He who promised is sure to keep His Word. Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:12 " Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you." God is in control and His plans for you are good. He has already done it. Romans 4:21 " and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform." Have a

NEEDLESS BATTLES

-
Judges 12:1-4 Then the people of Ephraim mobilized an army and crossed over the Jordan River to Zaphon. They sent this message to Jephthah: “Why didn’t you call for us to help you fight against the Ammonites? We are going to burn down your house with you in it!” Jephthah replied, “I summoned you at the beginning of the dispute, but you refused to come! You failed to help us in our struggle against Ammon. So when I realized you weren’t coming, I risked my life and went to battle without you, and the Lord gave me victory over the Ammonites. So why have you now come to fight me?” The people of Ephraim responded, “You men of Gilead are nothing more than fugitives from Ephraim and Manasseh.” So Jephthah gathered all the men of Gilead and attacked the men of Ephraim and defeated them. When the Lord does not lead you, you become prone to minding and walking with unnecessary things, like fighting unnecessary battles and stirring evil sentiments. I have always said that devices like racism, tri
