“Laboring In Vain”

Reference: Psalms Chapter 127

If any work is done not by the Spirit of God through a man or woman, it’s a labor in vain.

John 14:10-11 “Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. [11] Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake.”

It was the Spirit of the Father working through the body of His Son.

So must it be for men and women in the image of God, born of the Spirit of God through Christ.

Philippians 2:13-16 “For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. [14] Do all things without murmurings and disputings: [15] That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world; [16] Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.”

The Spirit of the Father works through the body of His children to help the needy, lift up those down, heal the sick, and bring salvation to the lost.

Any work not initiated by the Spirit of God is a work of the flesh, a labor in vain.

The Psalmist writes.

Let’s read:

Psalm 127:1-2 “Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain. [2] It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep.”

The Spirit of God knows all things. The children of God are led by the Spirit of God to do the works of God.

Romans 8:14 “For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.”

Vanity is work initiated by the flesh, and not by the Holy Spirit.

We conclude our reading:

Psalm 127:3-5 “Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward. [4] As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth. [5] Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.”

Children raised in the knowledge of Jesus Christ, who receive the Spirit of God, are a great resource to the earthly parents and the Heavenly Father. For the Father shall shake the gates of hell through them.

Let the Spirit of God do fruitful work using your body. BELIEVE and confess Christ the Word as we’ve revealed Him from the First Adam. The Father does the fruitful work, through His children, in Christ!

“Bearing Precious Seed”

Reference: Psalms Chapter 126

The Word of God is a seed. To the woman, the Seed will bruise the head of Satan.

Genesis 3:15 “And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.”

To Abraham, the Seed multiplied as the stars of heaven, and possessed the gate of His enemies.

Genesis 22:17 “That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies.”

To David, the Seed is the Eternal King.

John 7:42 “Hath not the scripture said, That Christ cometh of the seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was?”

To mary, the Seed is the Son of the Highest.

Luke 1:31-35 “And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. [32] He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: [33] And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. [34] Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? [35] And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.”

To the believer, the Seed is his substitute on the Cross.

Colossians 2:14-15 “Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; [15] And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.”

He is the dead and resurrected Seed.

Luke 24:1-3 “Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them. [2] And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre. [3] And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus.”

He is the Seed that is poured from that day of Pentecost.

Acts 2:33-38 “Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear. [34] For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, [35] Until I make thy foes thy footstool. [36] Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ. [37] Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do? [38] Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.”

The Word of God is this Seed. This Seed is Christ.

Galatians 3:16 “Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.”

When the Word is sown in the heart of an individual, it manifests.

The Seed manifests salvation.
The Seed manifests healing.
The Seed manifest love, peace, gentleness, faith.
The Seed manifest life eternal.

The Psalmist declares, those who sow the Seed returns to reap in joy.

Let’s read:

Psalm 126:1-5 “When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream. [2] Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: then said they among the heathen, The LORD hath done great things for them. [3] The LORD hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad. [4] Turn again our captivity, O LORD, as the streams in the south. [5] They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.”

The Seed was sown in tears of many.

Luke 2:34-35 “And Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel; and for a sign which shall be spoken against; [35] (Yea, a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also,) that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.”

The Seed was sown In tears of the Seed.

Matthew 27:46 “And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?”

The Seed is always sown in tears of the sower but great rejoice in harvest.

We conclude our reading:

Psalm 126:6 ‘He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.”

The Seed was sown in tears but we reap Him today in great joy.

Revelation 1:18 “I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.”

What a Seed!

Let the Seed find a soil of faith in your heart. BELIEVE and confess Christ the Seed of God as we’ve revealed Him from the First Adam. The Seed of life, looking for a heart to lodge, in Christ!

“The LORD Surrounds His People.”

Reference: Psalms Chapter 125

He was God over His people. Then He came down as Emmanuel (God with us). He then ascended into Heaven in the bodily form, and sent His Holy Spirit to be in us, and to surround us.

John 14:16-17 “And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; [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.”

Today, we know He surrounds us, and He is in us.

John 14:20 “At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.”

He was the same Hedge around Job.
He was the same Hedge around Abraham.
He was the same Hedge around Moses.
He was the same Hedge around Joshua.
He was the same Hedge around David.

He is the same Hedge around those in Christ.

The Psalmist writes, He surrounds His people.

Let’s read:

Psalm 125:1-2 “They that trust in the LORD shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever. [2] As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the LORD is round about his people from henceforth even for ever.”

He is the Hedge around His people not for a day, a year or a hundred years, but forever.

We continue our reading:

Psalm 125:3 “For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity.”

Nothing gets through the Hedge of protection around the believer.  No demon, no devil, no sickness, not even death has a chance.

In Christ every disease, demon, and even death is defeated.

We conclude our reading:

Psalm 125:4-5 “Do good, O LORD, unto those that be good, and to them that are upright in their hearts. [5] As for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, the LORD shall lead them forth with the workers of iniquity: but peace shall be upon Israel.”

The unbeliever has no Hedge of protection.The unbeliever is exposed to all the elements. The unbeliever has no answer to demons, no answer to disease,and no answer to death.

Let Him hedge you in. BELIEVE and confess Christ the Hedge as we’ve revealed Him from the First Adam. He is the Hedge of protection around His children, in Christ!

 

“Our Help Is In The Name Of The LORD”

Reference: Psalms Chapter 124

He came from Heaven to Earth for one purpose. To help us, to help the world. He is the only one who could help man. For man had self destructed.

No creation could redeem man. No angels, no spirits, no blood could redeem man.
Man is blood and it would take blood to redeem blood.

R Revelation 5:1-4 “And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals. [2] And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof? [3] And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon. [4] And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.”

Man was sealed for destruction. Man was sealed for death. Man was sealed for eternal separation from God. No creation in heaven, earth, or under the earth could help man.

Revelation 5:5 “And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.”

Our help is in the Name of the LORD.. His Name is Jesus Christ. He is the Lamb of God that was slain from before the foundation of the world.

David declares our help is in the name of the LORD.

Let’s read:

Psalm 124:1-5 “If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say; [2] If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us: [3] Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us: [4] Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul: [5] Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.”

If it wasn’t for redemption, the waters of hell would have swallowed every soul. But thank God for redemption.
Jesus Christ slain for my redemption, for your redemption, locking us back in oneness with God.

Now, we cannot be destroyed just as God cannot be destroyed. We cannot die just as God cannot die.

We continue our reading:

Psalm 124:6-7 “Blessed be the LORD, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth. [7] Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.”

 We escaped destruction because of the slain Lamb.

Revelation 5:6-9 “And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth. [7] And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne. [8] And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints. [9] And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;”

That’s why He is our Song, He is our Redemption. He is our Salvation . He is our Life.

We conclude our reading:

Psalm 124:8 “Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.”

He is our only Help. His Name is Jesus Christ the slain Lamb of God.

Let Him become your Help. BELIEVE and confess Christ the slain Lamb as we’ve revealed Him from the First Adam. Your only help, in Christ!

“Praying In Faith”

Jesus Christ The House Of The LORD ”

Reference: Psalms Chapter 122

God used to dwell in the Holy of Holies in Solomon’s temple. This was a temporal dwelling where the High Priest could come in once a year.

Hebrews 9:3-8  “And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of all; [4] Which had the golden censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid round about with gold, wherein was the golden pot that had manna, and Aaron's rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant; [5] And over it the cherubims of glory shadowing the mercyseat; of which we cannot now speak particularly. [6] Now when these things were thus ordained, the priests went always into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the service of God. [7] But into the second went the high priest alone once every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the errors of the people:”

It was only a shadow of Jesus Christ the true House of God.

Hebrews 9:8:11 “The Holy Ghost this signifying, that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing: [9] Which was a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience; [10] Which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation. [11] But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building.”

Jesus Christ is the building of God not made with hands.

Jesus Christ is the Temple of God.
Jesus Christ is the Tabernacle of God.
Jesus Christ is the Embassy of God.
Jesus Christ is the House of God.


The Psalmist was glad to go to the house of God.

Let’s read:

Psalm 122:1 “I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD.”

If going to a temporal building made with hands would make the Psalmist glad, how much more should it excite the man or woman who has entered Jesus Christ the true eternal Temple of God?

He is the Temple we walk in and are immediately cleansed by His Blood.

He is the Temple we walk in and immediately has answer to prayer.
He is the Temple we walk in and immediately restored into the image of God.

Solomon’s temple could not do that. Only the True Temple of God, Jesus Christ can did that.

Jesus Christ is the substance to the shadow of Solomon’s temple.
Jesus Christ is the substance to the whole law.
Jesus Christ is the substance to the whole Old Testament.

Hebrews 10:1 “For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.”

Jesus Christ was the good thing to come. He is the image of God. He has now come to restore man to God in perfection. We have a perfect union with God through Jesus Christ.

Jesus Christ is the image of God and the image of man. God made man in His image, to be a place that God will dwell. That image of man is displayed in Jesus Christ.

Today, those in Christ has become the dwelling place of God. We have become the temple of God.

1 Corinthians 3:16 “Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?”

Today, those in Christ are the image of God, the true temple of God.

We continue our reading:

Psalm 122:2-4 “Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem. [3] Jerusalem is builded as a city that is compact together: [4] Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, unto the testimony of Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the LORD.”

Today, we give thanks not to a building or locality made with human hands but that we have entered in Christ the House of God.

Hebrews 10:19-21 “Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, [20] By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh; [21] And having an high priest over the house of God.”

We have been united with God the Creator of Heaven and Earth through Christ.

We conclude our reading:

Psalm 122:5-9 “For there are set thrones of judgment, the thrones of the house of David. [6] Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee. [7] Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces. [8] For my brethren and companions' sakes, I will now say, Peace be within thee. [9] Because of the house of the LORD our God I will seek thy good.”

Every good thing for man is found in Jesus Christ the House of God.

He is the answer to poverty.
He is the answer to sickness.
He is the answer to sadnes

“The Lord Redeems And Preserves You”

Reference: Psalms Chapter 121

To redeem something is to bring it to its original form. God has redeemed the believer to the original form of Adam.

To preserve something is to keep it in its original form. God preserves the believer in oneness with Him.

John 14:17,20 “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. [20] At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.”

The work of Christ on the Cross was the believer’s redemption.

The Spirit of God in the redeemed man or woman is their preservation.

Ephesians 4:30 “And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.”

The believer is preserved with the seal of the Holy Spirit where no devil or demon can break through.

Job 1:9-10 “Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, Doth Job fear God for nought? [10] Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.”

Job was surrounded by the Holy Spirit. Today, the Holy Spirit is with the believer, and in the believer.

“The Lord preserves me” says the Psalmist.

Let’s read:

Psalm 121:1-6 “I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. [2] My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth. [3] He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber. [4] Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. [5] The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand. [6] The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.”

There are no surprises when preserved in unity with God.

No condition, devil, disease or even death shakes the believer in oneness with God.
The preserved believer has passed from death unto life. What is it more to fear?

Jesus Christ has defeated the devil, bore all our diseases, and passed the believer from death unto life.

John 5:24 “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.”

What can the devil, disease or even death do to the preserved believer?

Nothing.

We continue our reading:

Psalm 121:7 “The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.”

The Lord preserves the believer by becoming one with him or her. By dwelling in the believer, and surrounding the believer.

The evil one has no chance.

We conclude our reading:

Psalm 121:8 “The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.”

His oneness with the redeemed is not time limited. It’s for eternity. Praise God!!

Let the redeemed of the Lord rejoice. BELIEVE and confess Christ the Redeemer and Preserver as we’ve revealed Him from the First Adam. He preserves what He redeems, in Christ!

“The Lord Hears, Sees, and Delivers”

Reference: Psalms Chapter 120

He hears and sees every cry of His children. He delivers them all.

He heard and saw the affliction of Hagar.

Genesis 16:11 “And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Behold, thou art with child, and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael; because the LORD hath heard thy affliction.”

He delivered her.

He heard and saw the affliction of Israel.

Exodus 3:6-7 “Moreover he said, I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon God. [7] And the LORD said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows.”

He delivered them.

He heard and saw the affliction of Hannah.

1 Samuel 1:9-11 “So Hannah rose up after they had eaten in Shiloh, and after they had drunk. Now Eli the priest sat upon a seat by a post of the temple of the LORD. [10] And she was in bitterness of soul, and prayed unto the LORD, and wept sore. [11] And she vowed a vow, and said, O LORD of hosts, if thou wilt indeed look on the affliction of thine handmaid, and remember me, and not forget thine handmaid, but wilt give unto thine handmaid a man child, then I will give him unto the LORD all the days of his life, and there shall no razor come upon his head.”

He delivered her.

He heard the affliction of Jonah

Jonah 2:2 “And said, I cried by reason of mine affliction unto the LORD, and he heard me; out of the belly of hell cried I, and thou heardest my voice.”

He delivered him.

He heard and saw the affliction of Christ.

Matthew 27:46 “And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?”

He delivered and crowned Him.

Philippians 2:8-11 “And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. [9] Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: [10] That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; [11] And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”

He heard and saw the affliction of Paul and Silas.

Acts 16:23-26 “And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast them into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely: [24] Who, having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks. [25] And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them. [26] And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's bands were loosed.”

He delivered them.

He hears and sees the affliction of you in Christ.

Colossians 1:23-24 “If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister; [24] Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body's sake, which is the church:”

He has delivered us through His finished work of the Cross.

The Psalmist declares God heard his cry, and delivered.

Let’s read:

Psalm 120:1 “In my distress I cried unto the LORD, and he heard me.”

He does not just hear and see but delivers His children. The greatest deliverance is from the hands of Satan through His finished work of the Cross.

We continue our reading:

Psalm 120:2-6 “Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips, and from a deceitful tongue. [3] What shall be given unto thee? or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue? [4] Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper. [5] Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, that I dwell in the tents of Kedar! [6] My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace.”

Satan, the enemy of our soul, hates peace. He hates peace in our spirit, and peace in our body. But the Lord has delivered us from him by taking on our griefs and sorrows in exchange for His peace.

Isaiah 53:4-5 “Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. [5] But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.”

We conclude our reading:

Psalm 120:7 “I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war.”

We war no longer with the enemy. He is already defeated if we remain steadfast in the finished work of Jesus Christ.
Faith in His blood sacrifice, making us one with Him, overcomes the enemy, even death.

He hears and sees your afflictions. BELIEVE and confess Christ the Deliverer as we’ve revealed Him from the First Adam. He delivered all His children through the Cross, in Christ!

“Your Word Is Life”

Reference: Psalms Chapter 119

Your Word, Your precepts, Your commandments, and Your law is life.

The Psalmist draws from the deep well of the Word of God.

Let’s read:

Psalm 119:1-9 “Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the LORD. [2] Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart. [3] They also do no iniquity: they walk in his ways. [4] Thou hast commanded us to keep thy precepts diligently. [5] O that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes! [6] Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect unto all thy commandments. [7] I will praise thee with uprightness of heart, when I shall have learned thy righteous judgments. [8] I will keep thy statutes: O forsake me not utterly. [9] Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word.”

We are cleanse by the Word.

We continue our reading:

Psalm 119:10-11 “With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander from thy commandments. [11] Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.”

The unbeliever sins because they believe not. We overcome sin by the Word in our heart (faith),

We continue our reading:

Psalm 119:12-28 “Blessed art thou, O LORD: teach me thy statutes. [13] With my lips have I declared all the judgments of thy mouth. [14] I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies, as much as in all riches. [15] I will meditate in thy precepts, and have respect unto thy ways. [16] I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will not forget thy word. [17] Deal bountifully with thy servant, that I may live, and keep thy word. [18] Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law. [19] I am a stranger in the earth: hide not thy commandments from me. [20] My soul breaketh for the longing that it hath unto thy judgments at all times. [21] Thou hast rebuked the proud that are cursed, which do err from thy commandments. [22] Remove from me reproach and contempt; for I have kept thy testimonies. [23] Princes also did sit and speak against me: but thy servant did meditate in thy statutes. [24] Thy testimonies also are my delight and my counsellors. [25] My soul cleaveth unto the dust: quicken thou me according to thy word. [26] I have declared my ways, and thou heardest me: teach me thy statutes. [27] Make me to understand the way of thy precepts: so shall I talk of thy wondrous works. [28] My soul melteth for heaviness: strengthen thou me according unto thy word.”

His Word is our strength. The strength of God is His Word. The strength of man is the Word of God in him.

God is His Word. The Word of God in a man or woman is God in the man or woman. That is Strength.

We continue our reading:

Psalm 119:29-50 “Remove from me the way of lying: and grant me thy law graciously. [30] I have chosen the way of truth: thy judgments have I laid before me. [31] I have stuck unto thy testimonies: O LORD, put me not to shame. [32] I will run the way of thy commandments, when thou shalt enlarge my heart. [33] Teach me, O LORD, the way of thy statutes; and I shall keep it unto the end. [34] Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy law; yea, I shall observe it with my whole heart. [35] Make me to go in the path of thy commandments; for therein do I delight. [36] Incline my heart unto thy testimonies, and not to covetousness. [37] Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity; and quicken thou me in thy way. [38] Stablish thy word unto thy servant, who is devoted to thy fear. [39] Turn away my reproach which I fear: for thy judgments are good. [40] Behold, I have longed after thy precepts: quicken me in thy righteousness. [41] Let thy mercies come also unto me, O LORD, even thy salvation, according to thy word. [42] So shall I have wherewith to answer him that reproacheth me: for I trust in thy word. [43] And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth; for I have hoped in thy judgments. [44] So shall I keep thy law continually for ever and ever. [45] And I will walk at liberty: for I seek thy precepts. [46] I will speak of thy testimonies also before kings, and will not be ashamed. [47] And I will delight myself in thy commandments, which I have loved. [48] My hands also will I lift up unto thy commandments, which I have loved; and I will meditate in thy statutes. [49] Remember the word unto thy servant, upon which thou hast caused me to hope. [50] This is my comfort in my affliction: for thy word hath quickened me.”

His Word is our comfort. The Word is a quickening Spirit. The Word is Christ the Second Adam

1 Corinthians 15:45 “And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.”

We continue our reading:

Psalm 119:51-89 “The proud have had me greatly in derision: yet have I not declined from thy law. [52] I remembered thy judgments of old, O LORD; and have comforted myself. [53] Horror hath taken hold upon me because of the wicked that forsake thy law. [54] Thy statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage. [55] I have remembered thy name, O LORD, in the night, and have kept thy law. [56] This I had, because I kept thy precepts. [57] Thou art my portion, O LORD: I have said that I would keep thy words. [58] I intreated thy favour with my whole heart: be merciful unto me according to thy word. [59] I thought on my ways, and turned my feet unto thy testimonies. [60] I made haste, and delayed not to keep thy commandments. [61] The bands of the wicked have robbed me: but I have not forgotten thy law. [62] At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto thee because of thy righteous judgments. [63] I am a companion of all them that fear thee, and of them that keep thy precepts. [64] The earth, O LORD, is full of thy mercy: teach me thy statutes. [65] Thou hast dealt well with thy servant, O LORD, according unto thy word. [66] Teach me good judgment and knowledge: for I have believed thy commandments. [67] Before I was afflicted I went astray: but now have I kept thy word. [68] Thou art good, and doest good; teach me thy statutes. [69] The proud have forged a lie against me: but I will keep thy precepts with my whole heart. [70] Their heart is as fat as grease; but I delight in thy law. [71] It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy statutes. [72] The law of thy mouth is better unto me than thousands of gold and silver. [73] Thy hands have made me and fashioned me: give me understanding, that I may learn thy commandments. [74] They that fear thee will be glad when they see me; because I have hoped in thy word. [75] I know, O LORD, that thy judgments are right, and that thou in faithfulness hast afflicted me. [76] Let, I pray thee, thy merciful kindness be for my comfort, according to thy word unto thy servant. [77] Let thy tender mercies come unto me, that I may live: for thy law is my delight. [78] Let the proud be ashamed; for they dealt perversely with me without a cause: but I will meditate in thy precepts. [79] Let those that fear thee turn unto me, and those that have known thy testimonies. [80] Let my heart be sound in thy statutes; that I be not ashamed. [81] My soul fainteth for thy salvation: but I hope in thy word. [82] Mine eyes fail for thy word, saying, When wilt thou comfort me? [83] For I am become like a bottle in the smoke; yet do I not forget thy statutes. [84] How many are the days of thy servant? when wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me? [85] The proud have digged pits for me, which are not after thy law. [86] All thy commandments are faithful: they persecute me wrongfully; help thou me. [87] They had almost consumed me upon earth; but I forsook not thy precepts. [88] Quicken me after thy lovingkindness; so shall I keep the testimony of thy mouth. [89] For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.”

His eternal Word. Earth and even Heaven will pass away but His Word.

We continue our reading:

Psalm 119:90-105 “Thy faithfulness is unto all generations: thou hast established the earth, and it abideth. [91] They continue this day according to thine ordinances: for all are thy servants. [92] Unless thy law had been my delights, I should then have perished in mine affliction. [93] I will never forget thy precepts: for with them thou hast quickened me. [94] I am thine, save me; for I have sought thy precepts. [95] The wicked have waited for me to destroy me: but I will consider thy testimonies. [96] I have seen an end of all perfection: but thy commandment is exceeding broad. [97] O how love I thy law! it is my meditation all the day. [98] Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies: for they are ever with me. [99] I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies are my meditation. [100] I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts. [101] I have refrained my feet from every evil way, that I might keep thy word. [102] I have not departed from thy judgments: for thou hast taught me. [103] How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth! [104] Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way. [105] Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.”

His Word is the only Light of the World. Darkness is simply the absence of the Light, the absence of Christ.

We continue our reading:

Psalm 119:106-166 “I have sworn, and I will perform it, that I will keep thy righteous judgments. [107] I am afflicted very much: quicken me, O LORD, according unto thy word. [108] Accept, I beseech thee, the freewill offerings of my mouth, O LORD, and teach me thy judgments. [109] My soul is continually in my hand: yet do I not forget thy law. [110] The wicked have laid a snare for me: yet I erred not from thy precepts. [111] Thy testimonies have I taken as an heritage for ever: for they are the rejoicing of my heart. [112] I have inclined mine heart to perform thy statutes alway, even unto the end. [113] I hate vain thoughts: but thy law do I love. [114] Thou art my hiding place and my shield: I hope in thy word. [115] Depart from me, ye evildoers: for I will keep the commandments of my God. [116] Uphold me according unto thy word, that I may live: and let me not be ashamed of my hope. [117] Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe: and I will have respect unto thy statutes continually. [118] Thou hast trodden down all them that err from thy statutes: for their deceit is falsehood. [119] Thou puttest away all the wicked of the earth like dross: therefore I love thy testimonies. [120] My flesh trembleth for fear of thee; and I am afraid of thy judgments. [121] I have done judgment and justice: leave me not to mine oppressors. [122] Be surety for thy servant for good: let not the proud oppress me. [123] Mine eyes fail for thy salvation, and for the word of thy righteousness. [124] Deal with thy servant according unto thy mercy, and teach me thy statutes. [125] I am thy servant; give me understanding, that I may know thy testimonies. [126] It is time for thee, LORD, to work: for they have made void thy law. [127] Therefore I love thy commandments above gold; yea, above fine gold. [128] Therefore I esteem all thy precepts concerning all things to be right; and I hate every false way. [129] Thy testimonies are wonderful: therefore doth my soul keep them. [130] The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple. [131] I opened my mouth, and panted: for I longed for thy commandments. [132] Look thou upon me, and be merciful unto me, as thou usest to do unto those that love thy name. [133] Order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me. [134] Deliver me from the oppression of man: so will I keep thy precepts. [135] Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; and teach me thy statutes. [136] Rivers of waters run down mine eyes, because they keep not thy law. [137] Righteous art thou, O LORD, and upright are thy judgments. [138] Thy testimonies that thou hast commanded are righteous and very faithful. [139] My zeal hath consumed me, because mine enemies have forgotten thy words. [140] Thy word is very pure: therefore thy servant loveth it. [141] I am small and despised: yet do not I forget thy precepts. [142] Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and thy law is the truth. [143] Trouble and anguish have taken hold on me: yet thy commandments are my delights. [144] The righteousness of thy testimonies is everlasting: give me understanding, and I shall live. [145] I cried with my whole heart; hear me, O LORD: I will keep thy statutes. [146] I cried unto thee; save me, and I shall keep thy testimonies. [147] I prevented the dawning of the morning, and cried: I hoped in thy word. [148] Mine eyes prevent the night watches, that I might meditate in thy word. [149] Hear my voice according unto thy lovingkindness: O LORD, quicken me according to thy judgment. [150] They draw nigh that follow after mischief: they are far from thy law. [151] Thou art near, O LORD; and all thy commandments are truth. [152] Concerning thy testimonies, I have known of old that thou hast founded them for ever. [153] Consider mine affliction, and deliver me: for I do not forget thy law. [154] Plead my cause, and deliver me: quicken me according to thy word. [155] Salvation is far from the wicked: for they seek not thy statutes. [156] Great are thy tender mercies, O LORD: quicken me according to thy judgments. [157] Many are my persecutors and mine enemies; yet do I not decline from thy testimonies. [158] I beheld the transgressors, and was grieved; because they kept not thy word. [159] Consider how I love thy precepts: quicken me, O LORD, according to thy lovingkindness. [160] Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever. [161] Princes have persecuted me without a cause: but my heart standeth in awe of thy word. [162] I rejoice at thy word, as one that findeth great spoil. [163] I hate and abhor lying: but thy law do I love. [164] Seven times a day do I praise thee because of thy righteous judgments. [165] Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them. [166] LORD, I have hoped for thy salvation, and done thy commandments.”

His Word is Knowledge.
His Word is Understanding.
His Word is Wisdom.
His Word is Salvation.
His Word is Jesus Christ.

We conclude our reading:

Psalm 119:167-176 “My soul hath kept thy testimonies; and I love them exceedingly. [168] I have kept thy precepts and thy testimonies: for all my ways are before thee. [169] Let my cry come near before thee, O LORD: give me understanding according to thy word. [170] Let my supplication come before thee: deliver me according to thy word. [171] My lips shall utter praise, when thou hast taught me thy statutes. [172] My tongue shall speak of thy word: for all thy commandments are righteousness. [173] Let thine hand help me; for I have chosen thy precepts. [174] I have longed for thy salvation, O LORD; and thy law is my delight. [175] Let my soul live, and it shall praise thee; and let thy judgments help me. [176] I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek thy servant; for I do not forget thy commandments.”

His Word finds the lost.

 Let the Word of God find you. BELIEVE and confess Christ the Word as we’ve revealed Him from the First Adam. His Word is from everlasting to everlasting, in Christ!

“The Rejected Stone”

Reference: Psalms Chapter 118

Rejected by friends.
Rejected by enemies.
Rejected by man.
Rejected by God.
Rejected by earth.
Rejected by Heaven.

The rejected Stone was the Cornerstone.

The Psalmist declares.

Let’s read:

Psalm 118:1-22 “O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: because his mercy endureth for ever. [2] Let Israel now say, that his mercy endureth for ever. [3] Let the house of Aaron now say, that his mercy endureth for ever. [4] Let them now that fear the LORD say, that his mercy endureth for ever. [5] I called upon the LORD in distress: the LORD answered me, and set me in a large place. [6] The LORD is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me? [7] The LORD taketh my part with them that help me: therefore shall I see my desire upon them that hate me. [8] It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man. [9] It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes. [10] All nations compassed me about: but in the name of the LORD will I destroy them. [11] They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about: but in the name of the LORD I will destroy them. [12] They compassed me about like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in the name of the LORD I will destroy them. [13] Thou hast thrust sore at me that I might fall: but the LORD helped me. [14] The LORD is my strength and song, and is become my salvation. [15] The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tabernacles of the righteous: the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly. [16] The right hand of the LORD is exalted: the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly. [17] I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD. [18] The LORD hath chastened me sore: but he hath not given me over unto death. [19] Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will go into them, and I will praise the LORD: [20] This gate of the LORD, into which the righteous shall enter. [21] I will praise thee: for thou hast heard me, and art become my salvation. [22] The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner.”

Israel rejected Him to their peril.

Jesus Christ is rejected to the peril of the man or woman.

For God so loved men and women that He gave Jesus Christ so no man or woman would perish.

He is the Cornerstone of life. Without the cornerstone, the house falls apart.
Without Jesus Christ our lives fall apart.

We continue our reading:

Psalm 118:23-26 “This is the LORD'S doing; it is marvellous in our eyes. [24] This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. [25] Save now, I beseech thee, O LORD: O LORD, I beseech thee, send now prosperity. [26] Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the LORD: we have blessed you out of the house of the LORD.”

The Cornerstone is salvation.
The Cornerstone is joy.
The Cornerstone is prosperity.
The Cornerstone is the blessing of God to the world.

We conclude our reading:

Psalm 118:27-29 “God is the LORD, which hath shewed us light: bind the sacrifice with cords, even unto the horns of the altar. [28] Thou art my God, and I will praise thee: thou art my God, I will exalt thee. [29] O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.”

The Cornerstone is the Light of God to the world.
The Cornerstone is the blood sacrifice of God for the world.
The Cornerstone is the Mercy of God to the world.

Give thanks unto the LORD for His Mercy endures forever.  BELIEVE and confess Christ the Cornerstone as we’ve revealed Him from the First Adam. His Mercy endures forever, in Christ!

“Praise The Lord All Ye Nations”

Reference: Psalms Chapter 117

Revelation 15:2-4 “And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God. [3] And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints. [4] Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only art holy: for all nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest.”

All nations (the Jew and the Gentile) sing about the marvelous work of the Lamb. For He has clothed us with the garment of Salvation, and the robe of righteousness.

Isaiah 61:10-11 “I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels. [11] For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.”

He has cause praise to spring forth from our garment of Salvation.

Praise Him, the Psalmist declares.

Let’s read:

Psalm 117:1 “O praise the LORD, all ye nations: praise him, all ye people.”

We are saved from sin. Praise Him.

We are saved from Disease. Praise Him.

We are saved from Death. Praise Him.

We are saved from hell. Praise Him.

Praise Him the Lord!

We conclude our reading:

Psalm 117:2 “For his merciful kindness is great toward us: and the truth of the LORD endureth for ever. Praise ye the LORD.”

He has given us His life, and has given us His Word.

Through Him we have eternal life, and His eternal word.

Praise ye the Lord!

Let all nations praise the Lord. BELIEVE and confess Christ the Lord as we’ve revealed Him from the First Adam. Let His praises be continually in our mouth, in Christ!

“Therefore Will I Call on Him As Long As I Live”

Reference: Psalms Chapter 116

“Glory To Thy Name”

Reference: Psalms Chapter 115

The Creator of the world was in the world but they knew Him not.

John 1:10 “He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.”

The Name is Jesus Christ.

Philippians 2:10-11 “That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; [11] And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”

He is the Glory of God.

1 Corinthians 2:7-8  “But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: [8] Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.”

There is no name in Heaven or Earth greater, of things present, or to come.

Ephesians 1:20-21 “Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, [21] Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:”

Unto Thy Name give glory, declares the Psalmist.

Let’s read:

Psalm 115:1 “Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy mercy, and for thy truth's sake.”

Jesus Christ is God’s Mercy.
Jesus Christ is God’s Truth.

John 14:6 “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”

Jesus Christ is God’s ONLY way.

We continue our reading:

Psalm 115:2-11 “Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is now their God? [3] But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased. [4] Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands. [5] They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not: [6] They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not: [7] They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat. [8] They that make them are like unto them; so is every one that trusteth in them. [9] O Israel, trust thou in the LORD: he is their help and their shield. [10] O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD: he is their help and their shield. [11] Ye that fear the LORD, trust in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.”

Jesus Christ is the Help and Shield around the believer.

Proverbs 30:5 “Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.”

Jesus Christ is the Word of God, the Shield of faith quenching every fiery dart.

Ephesians 6:16 “Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.”

Faith in His complete work of His Cross quenched every dart of the wicked one.

We conclude our reading:

Psalm 115:12-18 “The LORD hath been mindful of us: he will bless us; he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron. [13] He will bless them that fear the LORD, both small and great. [14] The LORD shall increase you more and more, you and your children. [15] Ye are blessed of the LORD which made heaven and earth. [16] The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD'S: but the earth hath he given to the children of men. [17] The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down into silence. [18] But we will bless the LORD from this time forth and for evermore. Praise the LORD.”

He has blessed those that believe Him, both small and great.

Let the Lord increase you. BELIEVE and confess Christ the Word as we’ve revealed Him from the First Adam. The Glory of God, in no other Name, in Christ!

“Separation”

Reference: Psalms Chapter 114

When God calls a man or woman, He separates them from their surrounding, from the things they are familiar with, from the kingdom of the world into the kingdom of God.

Ephesians 2:12-13 “That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: [13] But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.”

Abraham was separated unto God from his kindred.

Genesis 12:1 “Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee.”

Israel was separated unto God from Egypt, a type of the world.

Let’s read:

Psalm 114:1-4 “When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language; [2] Judah was his sanctuary, and Israel his dominion. [3] The sea saw it, and fled: Jordan was driven back. [4] The mountains skipped like rams, and the little hills like lambs.”

When a man or woman is obedient to the separation by God, nothing will stand in their way.  Red seas and Jordans must open.

Nothing could stand in the way of Abraham to be the father of nations.
Nothing could stand in the way of Israel to the Promised Land.
Nothing can stand in the way of the believer who acquiesces to the separation by God.

We continue our reading:

Psalm 114:5-7 “What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, that thou wast driven back? [6] Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams; and ye little hills, like lambs? [7] Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob.”

For He leads the way when we are separated unto Him. The miraculous becomes the norm for those separated unto God. They have become His responsibility.

2 Corinthians 6:17-18 “Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, [18] And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.”

We are His children when we heed the call to separate from our world, by heeding His Word.

We conclude our reading:

Psalm 114:8 “Which turned the rock into a standing water, the flint into a fountain of waters.”

The separated ones will walk on seas, heal the sick, and manifest God to their world.

Mark 16:15-18 “And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. [16] He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. [17] And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; [18] They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.”

He separated them unto Himself, then He sent them to manifest God to the world.

Let the Word of God separate you unto Himself. BELIEVE and confess Christ the Word as we’ve revealed Him from the First Adam. He separates those He’s called, in Christ!

“The Humility Of God”

Reference: Psalms Chapter 113

The Creator of man took on the body of man to serve man.

Jehovah born among sheep.
Jehovah walking on the streets of Nazareth, playing with children.
Jehovah hungry.
Jehovah tired.
Jehovah standing to be judged by men.
Jehovah slapped on the face.
Jehovah spat on.
Jehovah hanged by men.

No wonder the sun refused to shine on that day.

Luke 23:44-45 “And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour. [45] And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst.”

The Psalmist declares, who is like unto you oh Lord.

Let’s read:

Psalm 113:1-6 “Praise ye the LORD. Praise, O ye servants of the LORD, praise the name of the LORD. [2] Blessed be the name of the LORD from this time forth and for evermore. [3] From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the LORD'S name is to be praised. [4] The LORD is high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens. [5] Who is like unto the LORD our God, who dwelleth on high, [6] Who humbleth himself to behold the things that are in heaven, and in the earth!”

There is none like Him. Blessed be the Name of the Lord.

He took the position of the sinner so that the sinner could take His position of righteousness.
He endured death so that the believer will endure eternal life.
He endured poverty so that the believer will enjoy riches.

Who is like unto Jesus Christ?

We conclude our reading:

Psalm 113:7-9 “He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth the needy out of the dunghill; [8] That he may set him with princes, even with the princes of his people. [9] He maketh the barren woman to keep house, and to be a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the LORD.”

This is why His praises is continually in our mouth.

Let’s take up our cross and follow Him in humility. BELIEVE and confess Christ the Humble Servant as we’ve revealed Him from the First Adam. He humbled Himself even to the death on a cross, in Christ!

“The Generation Of The Upright Shall Be Blessed”

Reference: Psalms Chapter 112

God always has a witness on earth. Adam was God’s first witness.

Genesis 1:27 “So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.”

Adam failed but God found a witness in Seth, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Israel, and ultimately Jesus Christ, the last Adam.

Today, God has a Witness on earth. His Name is the Holy Spirit.

The Holy Spirit is the Witness of God through men and women.

Acts 1:8 “But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.”

He was the Witness through the Disciples, Paul, Stephen, Silas, and all the men and women who reflected Christ on earth.

Today, He will be the witness of God through those who will accept Him.

Their generation shall be blessed. The Psalmist declares

Let’s read:

Psalm 112:1-2 “Praise ye the LORD. Blessed is the man that feareth the LORD, that delighteth greatly in his commandments. [2] His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.”

The generation of Enoch was blessed because Enoch witnessed God to them.
The generation of Noah was blessed because Noah witness God to them.
The generation of Abraham was blessed because Abraham witnessed God to them.
The generation of Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, Joshua, Caleb, Samuel, and David were blessed because they witnessed God to their generation.
The generation of Jesus Christ was blessed because He witnessed God to them.

Men and women who have received the Holy Spirit are a blessing to their generation because they are witnessing God to them.

We continue our reading:

Psalm 112:3 “Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever.”

The righteousness of the upright is forever because Righteousness is a Person.

The righteous man or woman is the one indwelled by Jesus Christ the Righteous one through the union of His blood. This relationship is a forever relationship.

We continue our reading:

Psalm 112:4 “Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.”

He is the Light in darkness. He is gracious and full of compassion. His Name is Jesus Christ the only Righteous one.

We continue our reading:

Psalm 112:5-8 “A good man sheweth favour, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with discretion. [6] Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance. [7] He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD. [8] His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he see his desire upon his enemies.”

On the Cross, He fulfilled His desire for the enemy. He bruised the head of the enemy just as promised.

Genesis 3:15 “And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.”

Today, those who have received Christ have their eyes fixated on Him. They have no fear of evil tidings for they know all power in Heaven and Earth is in Christ, the one Who dwells in them.

1 John 4:4 “Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.”

We conclude our reading:

Psalm 112:9-10 “He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honour. [10] The wicked shall see it, and be grieved; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.”

Be a witness of God to your generation. BELIEVE and confess Christ the Witness as we’ve revealed Him from the First Adam. The generation of every witness of God is blessed, in Christ!

“He Sent Redemption To His People”

Reference: Psalms Chapter 111

For something to be redeemed, it must first be lost. Man was stolen by unbelief in the Garden of Eden, and man must be redeemed by faith on the mountain of Calvary.

Redemption has a name. His Name is Jesus Christ.

The Psalmist declares wisdom begins with fearing God.

Let’s read:

Psalm 111:1-2 “Praise ye the LORD. I will praise the LORD with my whole heart, in the assembly of the upright, and in the congregation. [2] The works of the LORD are great, sought out of all them that have pleasure therein.”

His great work was creation. His greatest work is the redemption of His creation. The redeemed cannot help but be joyful. Redeemed from the bloodline of disease and death to the blood line of health and eternal life.

We continue our reading:

Psalm 111:3 “His work is honourable and glorious: and his righteousness endureth for ever.”

The work of creation by the Word of God was marvelous. But creation fell into the hands of the enemy.
The work of the Cross was glorious and honorable. It has eternal consequences. The work of the Cross endures forever.

We continue our reading:

Psalm 111:6 “He hath shewed his people the power of his works, that he may give them the heritage of the heathen.”

The work of the Cross is the power of God.

1 Corinthians 1:18 “For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.”

The Cross is the redemptive power and wisdom of God. Jesus Christ received the heritage of the world including the heathen through His redemptive work on the Cross.

Revelation 7:9-10 “After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands; [10] And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.”

We continue our reading:

Psalm 111:7-9 “The works of his hands are verity and judgment; all his commandments are sure. [8] They stand fast for ever and ever, and are done in truth and uprightness. [9] He sent redemption unto his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and reverend is his name.”

His Covenant Name is Jesus Christ.

Isaiah 9:6-7 “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. [7] Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.”

God promised it, and He fulfilled it. The believing of this God is the beginning of wisdom.

We conclude our reading:

Psalm 111:10 “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever.”

The redeemed (those who have believed and received God through the Cross) will forever praise Him. For they have experienced the greatest transformation of being born again.

He sent us Redemption. BELIEVE and confess Christ the Redeemer as we’ve revealed Him from the First Adam. Redemption is here, in Christ!

“Every Enemy Under Your Feet”

Reference: Psalms Chapter 110

The Enemy of unbelief is under the feet of the believer who is one with Christ.
The Enemy of sin is under the feet of the believer who is one with Christ.
The Enemy of sickness and disease is under the feet of the believer who is one with Christ.
The Enemy of death is under the feet of the believer who is one with Christ.

Every enemy is under the feet of the believer who has crossed over from the bloodline of Adam to the bloodline of Christ.

This was the promise made to David.

Let’s read:

Psalm 110:1 “The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.”

He made His enemies His footstool on the Cross.

Colossians 2:14-15 “Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; [15] And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.”

In our identification with Christ, we triumph over the enemy in our new bloodline.

Revelation 12:11 “And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.”

For we have given up our old bloodline of Adam for a new bloodline in Christ.

We continue our reading:

Psalm 110:2-4 “The LORD shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies. [3] Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew of thy youth. [4] The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.”

He is the Rod of Zion. The Forever Priest. Has no beginning and no end, after the order of Melchizedek.

Hebrews 5:5-10 “So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee. [6] As he saith also in another place, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec. [7] Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared; [8] Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered; [9] And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him; [10] Called of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec.”

An Eternal High Priest!

We continue our reading:

Psalm 110:5-6 “The Lord at thy right hand shall strike through kings in the day of his wrath. [6] He shall judge among the heathen, he shall fill the places with the dead bodies; he shall wound the heads over many countries.”

Jesus Christ is the Right Hand of God. He shall judge all nations.

John 5:21-22 “For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will. [22] For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:”

Jesus Christ the Son of God is our judge. He shall soon judge me and you.

We conclude our reading:

Psalm 110:7 “He shall drink of the brook in the way: therefore shall he lift up the head.”

We can only drink with our heads lifted. Jesus Christ is lifted far above every name, person, position, and place.

Ephesians 1:19-22 “And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, [20] Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, [21] Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: [22] And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church.”

The Church, the body of Christ, those who have been born into Christ, have all things under their feet.

1 Corinthians 12:13 “For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.”

Be born into the body of Christ. BELIEVE and confess Christ the Judge of all as we’ve revealed Him from the First Adam. All enemies under our feet, in Christ!

“Condemnation Of The Wicked”

Reference: Psalms Chapter 109

The wicked is the unbeliever. The wicked is hateful, steals, lies, and oppresses the poor because they believe not. By not believing, they are becoming like their father the devil.

The righteous is loving, kind, gentle, meek, honest, and generous because they believe. By believing, they are becoming like their Heavenly Father.

The wicked or unbeliever is already condemned. Their end is with their father the devil.

Mark 16:16 “He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.”

David prays for judgement upon the wicked.

Let’s read:

Psalm 109:1-7 “Hold not thy peace, O God of my praise; [2] For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against me: they have spoken against me with a lying tongue. [3] They compassed me about also with words of hatred; and fought against me without a cause. [4] For my love they are my adversaries: but I give myself unto prayer. [5] And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love. [6] Set thou a wicked man over him: and let Satan stand at his right hand. [7] When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer become sin.”

Today, we do not have to pray against the wicked. We pray for the wicked to turn to God in faith. For God does not want any person to perish.

2 Peter 3:9 “The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.”

And we should not want anyone to perish because we are becoming like Our Heavenly Father.

We continue our reading:

Psalm 109:8-20 “Let his days be few; and let another take his office. [9] Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow. [10] Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek their bread also out of their desolate places. [11] Let the extortioner catch all that he hath; and let the strangers spoil his labour. [12] Let there be none to extend mercy unto him: neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children. [13] Let his posterity be cut off; and in the generation following let their name be blotted out. [14] Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the LORD; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out. [15] Let them be before the LORD continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth. [16] Because that he remembered not to shew mercy, but persecuted the poor and needy man, that he might even slay the broken in heart. [17] As he loved cursing, so let it come unto him: as he delighted not in blessing, so let it be far from him. [18] As he clothed himself with cursing like as with his garment, so let it come into his bowels like water, and like oil into his bones. [19] Let it be unto him as the garment which covereth him, and for a girdle wherewith he is girded continually. [20] Let this be the reward of mine adversaries from the LORD, and of them that speak evil against my soul.”

God does not need our help in condemning the wicked. He needs our help in representing His Love toward the wicked, the unbeliever.

Matthew 5:44-45 “But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; [45] That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.”

We are children of God when we Love our enemies.

We conclude our reading:

Psalm 109:21-31 “But do thou for me, O GOD the Lord, for thy name's sake: because thy mercy is good, deliver thou me. [22] For I am poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within me. [23] I am gone like the shadow when it declineth: I am tossed up and down as the locust. [24] My knees are weak through fasting; and my flesh faileth of fatness. [25] I became also a reproach unto them: when they looked upon me they shaked their heads. [26] Help me, O LORD my God: O save me according to thy mercy: [27] That they may know that this is thy hand; that thou, LORD, hast done it. [28] Let them curse, but bless thou: when they arise, let them be ashamed; but let thy servant rejoice. [29] Let mine adversaries be clothed with shame, and let them cover themselves with their own confusion, as with a mantle. [30] I will greatly praise the LORD with my mouth; yea, I will praise him among the multitude. [31] For he shall stand at the right hand of the poor, to save him from those that condemn his soul.”

Today, we know there is no condemnation to those in Christ.

Romans 8:1 “There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.”

Satan cannot condemn the man or woman walking after the Holy Spirit.
Man cannot condemn the man or woman walking after the Holy Spirit.

The challenge is to walk after the Holy Spirit. We walk with Him in our identification (oneness) with Christ through justification,sanctification, and baptism with the Holy Spirit.

Condemn no one. Love everyone.  BELIEVE and confess Christ the Word as we’ve revealed Him from the First Adam. The believer loves even his or her enemy, in Christ!

“A Fixed Heart”

Reference: Psalms Chapter 108

We do not walk with God with our minds, we walk with God with our hearts.
God deals with the heart while the devil deals with our mind. I

f we will fix our heart on the Word of God, the devil stands no chance.

If Eve had fixed her heart on the Word of God, the Serpent had no chance.
If Eve had responded to the Serpent that she believed the Word of God alone, the Serpent would have had to walk away.

Jesus Christ with all His power defeated Satan not with power but with the Word of God. In every attempt, Jesus responded to Satan that “it is written.”

Matthew 4:4,7,10 “But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. [7] Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. [10] Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.”

Eve could have defeated the Serpent with the Word just as Christ.

That means the Believer can defeat Satan with the Word at any time, place or arena by fixing their heart on the Word, no matter what comes on their mind.

We fix our eyes on Christ and our heart on the Word. This is the Believer’s perpetual victory.

The Psalmist has his heart fixed on God, and cannot help but praise Him.

Let’s read:

Psalm 108:1-3 “O God, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise, even with my glory. [2] Awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early. [3] I will praise thee, O LORD, among the people: and I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.”

Fixing our heart on God means to believe His Word alone. We are not moved by the Words of men and women but the Word of God.

The doctor says you are sick but the Word of God says you are healed.

The doctor says you are barren but the Word of God to ninety-year-old-Sarah is you shall conceive a year from now.

The devil says he will kill you but the Word of God says in Christ, you shall never die.

John 11:25-26 “Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: [26] And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?”

We fix our heart solely on the Word of God because it’s only the Word of God that cannot lie.

We continue our reading:

Psalm 108:4-7 “For thy mercy is great above the heavens: and thy truth reacheth unto the clouds. [5] Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: and thy glory above all the earth; [6] That thy beloved may be delivered: save with thy right hand, and answer me. [7] God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.”

The Word of God is Holy. It cannot lie. For the Word of God is God.

John 1:1 “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”

God cannot lie. That’s what makes Him God. His Word says even Heaven and earth shall pass away.

Luke 21:33 “Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.”

The Word of God is God, and God cannot pass away. This is why we fix our heart on the Word of God alone no matter what comes on our mind,

We continue our reading:

Psalm 108:8-12 “Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver; [9] Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe; over Philistia will I triumph. [10] Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom? [11] Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our hosts? [12] Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.”

The help of man is vain. Man cannot help man for the problem of man is unbelief, doubt, and sin. All the help man needs is in Christ the Word of God.

Fixing our hearts on the Word of God will take care of unbelief, doubt, and sin.

We conclude our reading:

Psalm 108:13 “Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.”

Take God at His Word and see what happens.

The Believer has already overcome the enemy through God and His Word.

Fixed your heart on the Word of God. BELIEVE and confess Christ the Word as we’ve revealed Him from the First Adam. Help has come from God, only in Christ!


 

“The Redeemed Cannot Help But Give Thanks”

Reference: Psalms Chapter 107

The Redeemed is the person who has crossed over from Adam’s bloodline to the bloodline of Jesus Christ.
We cross over through death with Him, burial with Him, resurrection with Him, ascension with Him, reigning in Heavenly places with Him, and Him now in us in the Person of the Holy Spirit.

The redeemed cannot help but sing praises to the Lord.

Let’s read:

Psalm 107:1-2 “O give thanks unto the LORD, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever. [2] Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy.”

Man is blood and spirit. When Adam sinned, the curse of disease and death affected his whole bloodline. This was the hand of the enemy (Satan).

We are redeemed from the bloodline of Adam into the bloodline of Jesus Christ. From the body of Adam into the body of Christ.

We continue our reading:

Psalm 107:3-8 “And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south. [4] They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no city to dwell in. [5] Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them. [6] Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses. [7] And he led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation. [8] Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!”

If the world will only recognize what God has done through the bloodline of Jesus Christ, to cross them over from Adam, they will forever praise Him.

We continue our reading:

Psalm 107:9-10 “For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness. [10] Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron.”

The bloodline of Adam is the shadow of death. This bloodline ultimately leads to a body of death.
The bloodline of Jesus Christ leads to eternal life, a glorified body.

We continue our reading:

Psalm 107:11 “Because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the counsel of the most High:”

Rebelling against the Word of God is the definition of unbelief. It started with man in the Garden of Eden and is the same problem in the world today.

We continue our reading:

Psalm 107:12-20 “Therefore he brought down their heart with labour; they fell down, and there was none to help. [13] Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses. [14] He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and brake their bands in sunder. [15] Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men! [16] For he hath broken the gates of brass, and cut the bars of iron in sunder. [17] Fools because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted. [18] Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat; and they draw near unto the gates of death. [19] Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saveth them out of their distresses. [20] He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.”

They turned to the Lord at the gate of death, and He healed and delivered them.
We don’t have to wait until we are so deep in trouble to seek His face. He stands at the door of our hearts, and will come in if we will believe Him.

We conclude our reading:

Psalm 107:21-43 “Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men! [22] And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works with rejoicing. [23] They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters; [24] These see the works of the LORD, and his wonders in the deep. [25] For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof. [26] They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted because of trouble. [27] They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wits' end. [28] Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses. [29] He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still. [30] Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he bringeth them unto their desired haven. [31] Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men! [32] Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the assembly of the elders. [33] He turneth rivers into a wilderness, and the watersprings into dry ground; [34] A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein. [35] He turneth the wilderness into a standing water, and dry ground into watersprings. [36] And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a city for habitation; [37] And sow the fields, and plant vineyards, which may yield fruits of increase. [38] He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; and suffereth not their cattle to decrease. [39] Again, they are minished and brought low through oppression, affliction, and sorrow. [40] He poureth contempt upon princes, and causeth them to wander in the wilderness, where there is no way. [41] Yet setteth he the poor on high from affliction, and maketh him families like a flock. [42] The righteous shall see it, and rejoice: and all iniquity shall stop her mouth. [43] Whoso is wise, and will observe these things, even they shall understand the lovingkindness of the LORD.”

Oh that men and women will praise the Lord for His redemption.

Let the redeemed of the Lord sing so. BELIEVE and confess Christ the Word as we’ve revealed Him from the First Adam. He has redeemed us from the bloodline of death to the bloodline of eternal life, in Christ!

“They Believed Not His Word”

Reference: Psalms Chapter 106

Unbelief was the problem with the biological Church (Isreal). Unbelief is the problem with the Spiritual Church today.

Nevertheless He heard their cry.

The Psalmist proclaims praise the Lord for His everlasting mercies.

Let’s read:

Psalm 106:1-7 “Praise ye the LORD. O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever. [2] Who can utter the mighty acts of the LORD? who can shew forth all his praise? [3] Blessed are they that keep judgment, and he that doeth righteousness at all times. [4] Remember me, O LORD, with the favour that thou bearest unto thy people: O visit me with thy salvation; [5] That I may see the good of thy chosen, that I may rejoice in the gladness of thy nation, that I may glory with thine inheritance. [6] We have sinned with our fathers, we have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly. [7] Our fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt; they remembered not the multitude of thy mercies; but provoked him at the sea, even at the Red sea.”

Today, we understand not what He did for us on the Cross. We understand not His Mercies.

We continue our reading:

Psalm 106:8 “Nevertheless he saved them for his name's sake, that he might make his mighty power to be known.”

He saved Isreal for His Name sake. That they may manifest His power to the then world.

Today, He saved us for His Name sake. That we may manifest His power to this world.

We continue our reading

Psalm 106:9-13 “He rebuked the Red sea also, and it was dried up: so he led them through the depths, as through the wilderness. [10] And he saved them from the hand of him that hated them, and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy. [11] And the waters covered their enemies: there was not one of them left. [12] Then believed they his words; they sang his praise. [13] They soon forgat his works; they waited not for his counsel:”

They believed Him, and He responded to them in Love. Yet they soon forgot and returned to unbelief.
God cannot work with unbelief. Without faith (believing), it’s impossible to walk with God.

We continue our reading:

Psalm 106:13-21 “They soon forgat his works; they waited not for his counsel: [14] But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted God in the desert. [15] And he gave them their request; but sent leanness into their soul. [16] They envied Moses also in the camp, and Aaron the saint of the LORD. [17] The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the company of Abiram. [18] And a fire was kindled in their company; the flame burned up the wicked. [19] They made a calf in Horeb, and worshipped the molten image. [20] Thus they changed their glory into the similitude of an ox that eateth grass. [21] They forgat God their saviour, which had done great things in Egypt.”

Like Israel of old, the Church has forgotten their Savior. The One who said He will be with us until the end of the age. They call His Cross an offense. The only thing that can save the lost is rebuked by the Church.

We continue our reading:

Psalm 106:22-24 “Wondrous works in the land of Ham, and terrible things by the Red sea. [23] Therefore he said that he would destroy them, had not Moses his chosen stood before him in the breach, to turn away his wrath, lest he should destroy them. [24] Yea, they despised the pleasant land, they believed not his word:”

It always starts with unbelief. Unbelief leads to sin. Like Adam and Eve, sin distances us from God.

We continue our reading:

Psalm 106:25-44 “But murmured in their tents, and hearkened not unto the voice of the LORD. [26] Therefore he lifted up his hand against them, to overthrow them in the wilderness: [27] To overthrow their seed also among the nations, and to scatter them in the lands. [28] They joined themselves also unto Baal–peor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead. [29] Thus they provoked him to anger with their inventions: and the plague brake in upon them. [30] Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment: and so the plague was stayed. [31] And that was counted unto him for righteousness unto all generations for evermore. [32] They angered him also at the waters of strife, so that it went ill with Moses for their sakes: [33] Because they provoked his spirit, so that he spake unadvisedly with his lips. [34] They did not destroy the nations, concerning whom the LORD commanded them: [35] But were mingled among the heathen, and learned their works. [36] And they served their idols: which were a snare unto them. [37] Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto devils, [38] And shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan: and the land was polluted with blood. [39] Thus were they defiled with their own works, and went a whoring with their own inventions. [40] Therefore was the wrath of the LORD kindled against his people, insomuch that he abhorred his own inheritance. [41] And he gave them into the hand of the heathen; and they that hated them ruled over them. [42] Their enemies also oppressed them, and they were brought into subjection under their hand. [43] Many times did he deliver them; but they provoked him with their counsel, and were brought low for their iniquity. [44] Nevertheless he regarded their affliction, when he heard their cry.”

Through it all,  He heard their cry. The Mercies of God.
He hears the cry of His children today. If we will repent and believe His Word.

We conclude our reading:

Psalm 106:45-48 “And he remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to the multitude of his mercies. [46] He made them also to be pitied of all those that carried them captives. [47] Save us, O LORD our God, and gather us from among the heathen, to give thanks unto thy holy name, and to triumph in thy praise. [48] Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from everlasting to everlasting: and let all the people say, Amen. Praise ye the LORD.”

He remembered His Covenant with Israel which He promised to Abraham and His seed.
Today, He remembers His Covenant (New Covenant) with the  Church which He promised in Christ.

Mercy calls you by name. BELIEVE and confess Christ the Savior as we’ve revealed Him from the First Adam. His mercies are from everlasting to everlasting, in Christ!

“ God is Faithful”

Reference: Psalms Chapter 105

God was faithful to Abraham.
God was faithful to Israel.
God is faithful to Christ,
God is faithful to every believer in Christ.

Genesis 15:13-14 “And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years; [14] And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance.”

The Psalmist recounts every step of this promise in thankfulness.

Let’s read:

Psalm 105:1-8 “O give thanks unto the LORD; call upon his name: make known his deeds among the people. [2] Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him: talk ye of all his wondrous works. [3] Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD. [4] Seek the LORD, and his strength: seek his face evermore. [5] Remember his marvellous works that he hath done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth; [6] O ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye children of Jacob his chosen. [7] He is the LORD our God: his judgments are in all the earth. [8] He hath remembered his covenant for ever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations.”

The Lord keeps His Covenant. His Word cannot fail. He fulfilled His Covenant with Abraham and his biological seed.
He is fulfilling His Covenant with the spiritual seed of Abraham in Christ.

He brought the biological seed of Abraham (Israel) to the Promised Land. He has brought the spiritual seed of Abraham the Promised Spirit (the Holy Spirit).

We continue our reading:

Psalm 105:9-15 “Which covenant he made with Abraham, and his oath unto Isaac; [10] And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant: [11] Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance: [12] When they were but a few men in number; yea, very few, and strangers in it. [13] When they went from one nation to another, from one kingdom to another people; [14] He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes; [15] Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.”

His warnings are the same today as it was then. Touch not His anointed, and do His prophets no harm. He is the same God yesterday, today, and forever.

We continue our reading:

Psalm 105:16-17 “Moreover he called for a famine upon the land: he brake the whole staff of bread. [17] He sent a man before them, even Joseph, who was sold for a servant:”

He sent Joseph before them to prepare a place for Israel.
Today, He has sent Jesus Christ before us to prepare a place for the Church.

John 14:2-3 “In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. [3] And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.”

He is the same promise keeping God.

We continue our reading:

Psalm 105:18 “Whose feet they hurt with fetters: he was laid in iron:”

Like Christ on the Cross, Joseph’s feet were bruised. A butler to his left, and a baker to his right. One was saved and the other was killed.

Jesus Christ on the middle cross had two thieves next to Him. One to His right hand and the other to His left hand. One thieve repented and was saved,, the other died in unbelief.

He is the same God revealing Himself in His promises.

We continue our reading:

Psalm 105:19-41 “Until the time that his word came: the word of the LORD tried him. [20] The king sent and loosed him; even the ruler of the people, and let him go free. [21] He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all his substance: [22] To bind his princes at his pleasure; and teach his senators wisdom. [23] Israel also came into Egypt; and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham. [24] And he increased his people greatly; and made them stronger than their enemies. [25] He turned their heart to hate his people, to deal subtilly with his servants. [26] He sent Moses his servant; and Aaron whom he had chosen. [27] They shewed his signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham. [28] He sent darkness, and made it dark; and they rebelled not against his word. [29] He turned their waters into blood, and slew their fish. [30] Their land brought forth frogs in abundance, in the chambers of their kings. [31] He spake, and there came divers sorts of flies, and lice in all their coasts. [32] He gave them hail for rain, and flaming fire in their land. [33] He smote their vines also and their fig trees; and brake the trees of their coasts. [34] He spake, and the locusts came, and caterpillers, and that without number, [35] And did eat up all the herbs in their land, and devoured the fruit of their ground. [36] He smote also all the firstborn in their land, the chief of all their strength. [37] He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and there was not one feeble person among their tribes. [38] Egypt was glad when they departed: for the fear of them fell upon them. [39] He spread a cloud for a covering; and fire to give light in the night. [40] The people asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of heaven. [41] He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out; they ran in the dry places like a river.”

The Same Rock was stricken on Calvary’s cross to quench the thirst of the world.

John 7:37-39 “In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. [38] He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. [39] (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified).”

The Holy Spirit Who was received on the Day of Pentecost is the thirst quencher for the Believer.

We conclude our reading:

Psalm 105:42-45 “For he remembered his holy promise, and Abraham his servant. [43] And he brought forth his people with joy, and his chosen with gladness: [44] And gave them the lands of the heathen: and they inherited the labour of the people; [45] That they might observe his statutes, and keep his laws. Praise ye the LORD.”

For He remembers His Holy Promise to Abraham and his seed.

Receive the Holy Promise of His Spirit. BELIEVE and confess Christ the Seed of Abraham as we’ve revealed Him from the First Adam. He is a  promise keeper, in Christ!

“Heaven And Earth Declares His Riches”

Reference: Psalms Chapter 104

No man or woman has an excuse not to recognize the Lord Jesus Christ.

Romans 1:18-20 “For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; [19] Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. [20] For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:”

He is the image of God. He created all things in Heaven and Earth, and In Him does the whole earth functions.

Colossians 1:15-17 “Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: [16] For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: [17] And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.

The Psalmist declares His Power, Glory, and Majesty.

Let’s read:

Psalm 104:1-4 “Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty. [2] Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain: [3] Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind: [4] Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire.”

He made Angels to be ministering spirits. Angels are not His children. They are not in His image.

Men and women who have received Christ are in the image of God. We are children of God. Far above even angels. This is why we bless His Name with all our soul.

We continue our reading:

Psalm 104:5-7 “Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever. [6] Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment: the waters stood above the mountains. [7] At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away.”

At His rebuke the Red Sea opened. At the voice of His thunder every disease in His child has to flee.

We continue our reading:

Psalm 104:8-24 “They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys unto the place which thou hast founded for them. [9] Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; that they turn not again to cover the earth. [10] He sendeth the springs into the valleys, which run among the hills. [11] They give drink to every beast of the field: the wild asses quench their thirst. [12] By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their habitation, which sing among the branches. [13] He watereth the hills from his chambers: the earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works. [14] He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth; [15] And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread which strengtheneth man's heart. [16] The trees of the LORD are full of sap; the cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted; [17] Where the birds make their nests: as for the stork, the fir trees are her house. [18] The high hills are a refuge for the wild goats; and the rocks for the conies. [19] He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going down. [20] Thou makest darkness, and it is night: wherein all the beasts of the forest do creep forth. [21] The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their meat from God. [22] The sun ariseth, they gather themselves together, and lay them down in their dens. [23] Man goeth forth unto his work and to his labour until the evening. [24] O LORD, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches.”

The earth is full of the riches of Jesus Christ. The birds sing it, the sun shines it, and  His children declare it.

We continue our reading

Psalm 104:25-32 “So is this great and wide sea, wherein are things creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts. [26] There go the ships: there is that leviathan, whom thou hast made to play therein. [27] These wait all upon thee; that thou mayest give them their meat in due season. [28] That thou givest them they gather: thou openest thine hand, they are filled with good. [29] Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled: thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust. [30] Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the face of the earth. [31] The glory of the LORD shall endure for ever: the LORD shall rejoice in his works. [32] He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth: he toucheth the hills, and they smoke.”

Sin, disease, and even death trembles at His look. The same power that raised Jesus Christ from the dead dwells in the child of God.

Romans 8:11 “But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.”

He is the believer’s Power over sin, sickness, and death.

We continue our reading:

Psalm 104:33-34 “I will sing unto the LORD as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being. [34] My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the LORD.”

The child of God,indwelled by the Spirit of God, cannot help but declare God to their generation. The Psalmist did as long as he lived, and so should we.

We conclude our reading:

Psalm 104:35 “Let the sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless thou the LORD, O my soul. Praise ye the LORD.”

Men and women have no excuse. The ignorance of every unbeliever is intentional.

Declare the glory of God. BELIEVE and confess Christ the Image of God as we’ve revealed Him from the First Adam, All things in Heaven and Earth consist, in Christ!

“Who Has Forgiven All Your Iniquities.,Healed All Your Diseases”

Reference: Psalms Chapter 103

God cannot do what He has Already done.

He has forgiven every sin, and has healed every disease when He hanged on the Cross. It is up to the Believer to accept it.

Salvation was complete in the atonement, and so was healing. When Christ hanged on the Cross, He atoned for every sin, and healed every disease. The moment the believer receives this revelation, they are saved. The moment the sick receives this revelation, they are healed.

Many are waiting for God to save them.
Many are waiting for God to heal them.

God has already saved the world when He hanged on the Cross. Whosoever believes it is saved.

John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”

God has already given His Son on the Cross for the salvation of the world . It’s up to the Believer to accept it.
God has given His Son on the Cross for the healing of every disease. It’s up to the Believer to accept it.

With this knowledge, the Believer can bless the Lord with all his soul.

David writes.

Let’s read:

Psalm 103:1-4 “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.”

He has forgiven all our iniquities, healed all our diseases, redeemed us from the path of death to the path of eternal life, by changing our bloodline.

We continue our reading:

Psalm 103:5 “Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's”

By entering the bloodline of Jesus Christ, our youthfulness is renewed. We are in a bloodline that has no sickness or disease. The bloodline leads to a glorified body and not this body that dies from the bloodline of Adam.

Romans 8:30 “Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.”

We are justified and glorified by entering the bloodline of Jesus Christ.

Ephesians 1:5,7 “Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, [7] In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace.”

He said if He be lifted up on the Cross,He will draw all believers through His blood.

John 12:32-33 “And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me. [33] This he said, signifying what death he should die.”

He has already been lifted up. Forgiven every sin and healed every disease. It’s up to the man or woman to accept it. This is Mercy. This is Grace.

We continue our reading:

Psalm 103:6-12 “The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed. [7] He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel. [8] The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy. [9] He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever. [10] He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. [11] For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him. [12] As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.”

On the Cross, He removed sin from the believer as far as the East is from the West. On the Cross, He removed every disease from the believer as far as the East is from the West.

The believer simply has to accept what Christ has already done.

We continue our reading:

Psalm 103:13-16 “Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear him. [14] For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust. [15] As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth. [16] For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more.”

The man or woman in the bloodline of Adam is like a flower that soon dies.

But the man or woman in the bloodline of Jesus Christ cannot die just as Christ cannot die.

John 11:25-26 “Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: [26] And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?”

The man or woman in the bloodline of Jesus Christ can never die.

We conclude our reading:

Psalm 103:17-22 “But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children; [18] To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them. [19] The LORD hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all. [20] Bless the LORD, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word. [21] Bless ye the LORD, all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure. [22] Bless the LORD, all his works in all places of his dominion: bless the LORD, O my soul.”

The man or woman in the bloodline of Jesus Christ can bless the Lord with all his or her soul.

Enter the bloodline of Jesus Christ. BELIEVE and confess Christ the Redeemer as we’ve revealed Him from the First Adam. He has saved and healed all who will believe, in Christ!
