A Threat Against Loyalty

Defining Loyalty Will be Found in Our Character: Luke 14:26-27 NKJV 26 "If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple. (27) And whoever does not bear his cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple.
1. Loyalty to Christ is found in these 2 verses

2. Entering into the New covenant, our loyalty should be toward Him

3. Peter confirmed this word: Acts 5:29 We ought to obey God rather than " men.”

4. Our character will determine where we go in life and find what rules it!

At the beginning of our conversion usually during counseling for baptism, we are asked to consider this passage seriously. Verses 26-27 are particularly important because loyalty to Christ is the issue in this context. Jesus makes it plain that, after entering into the New Covenant, our highest loyalty is to Him.

This is extremely important because the character of every life is determined by the loyalty that rules it. Peter confirms Jesus' words in Acts 5:29, saying, "We ought to obey God rather than men." He made this affirmation following Jesus' crucifixion. Persecution was imminent against the fledgling church. However, we must understand that the world is always a threat against our loyalty to Christ.

Heard on the news where the new mayor of New York refused to mention anything of Jesus as the ultimate sacrifice. We have to have that "sacrifice" God ordained.

Loyalty to Jesus Who Rules

Ephesians 4:17-24 …..NKJV….17 This I say, therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you should no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles walk, in the futility of their mind, 18 having their understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart; 19 who, being past feeling, have given themselves over to lewdness, to work all uncleanness with greediness. (dealing deceitfully) 20 But you have not so learned Christ, 21 if indeed you have heard Him and have been taught by Him, as the truth is in Jesus; 22 that you put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts, (like living with big egos)……23 and be renewed in the spirit of your mind, 24 and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in righteousness and holiness.

Lewdness: ( from v.19) one who has the characteristic nature to act out his arrogance & contempt in public. ( We see ignorance and that contempt in public when people refuse Jesus.)

Every person has character, and the character of every life is determined by the loyalty that rules it.

Slaves of Sin No More : Romans 6:12-23 NKJV……12 Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts. 13 And do not present your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God. 14 For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace.

15 What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Certainly not! 16 Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one’s slaves whom you obey, whether of sin leading to death or of obedience leading to righteousness? 17 But God be thanked that though you were slaves of sin, yet you obeyed from the heart that dorm of doctrine to which you were delivered.

18 And having been set free from sin, you became slaves of righteousness. 19 I speak in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh, For just as you presented your members as slaves of uncleanness, and of lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves of righteousness for holiness. 20 For when you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness. 21 What fruit did you have then in the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those thins is death. 22 But now having been set free from sin, and having become slaves of God, you have your fruit to holiness, and the end, everlasting life. 23 For the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Alignment with God into His Presence : Romans 5:6-11 NKJV.......6 For when we were still without strength in due time Christ dies for the ungodly. 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die. 8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ dies for us. 9 Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him. 10 For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life. 11 And not only that we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.

From Romans 5: 11 we also rejoice in God because we have a present fellowship with God through Jesus. We are to understand and know that the two: Sanctification and justification are not the same.

Each has a different process but within the same pattern God has provided to us. His purpose is they both began at the same point of salvation. In that profession and confession of our faith in Jesus, we are the forgiven, the justified and sanctified.

But it is Justification that aligns us with that standard of God’s law. It is that God activated card that brings us into His presence.

AND Sanctification is that inward spiritual work that Jesus Christ works in us.

Jesus confirmed that word when He spoke this: John 14:18: "I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.”

As our High Priest, He continues that work in us after our justification. He not only washes us of our sins by means of His blood, but He also labors to separate us from that which is of the natural love of sin and the world.

Jesus said this: John 5:17 NKJV 17 But Jesus answered them, “My Father has been working until now, and I have been working.”

Philippians 1:6 NKJV Being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Christ Jesus.

This good work: Philippians 1:6..is in physical and moral sense. It conveys that of producing benefits.

God in His mercy sent Jesus. In HIM, we have the benefit of life eternal. He made us holy. In that work which is continuing, it is possible for us to be the godly witness before men.

If God's only purpose was to save us, He could end the salvation process with our justification. Certainly, His purpose is to save us, but His goal is to save us with character that is the image of His own.

PATTERNS: Spirit –filled relationship with Jesus..Acts 3:13 Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated and untrained men, they marveled. And they realized that they had been with Jesus.

Acts 4:29-31 Now Lord look on their threats and grant to Your servants that with all boldness they may speak Your word, 30 by stretching out Your hand to heal, and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of Your holy Servant Jesus. 31 And when they had prayed, the place where they were assembled together was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and they spoke the word of God with boldness.

Boldness: parrhesia (par-rah-see-ah) unreserved, freedom of speech with frankness, candor, and cheerful courage. It is divine enablement that comes from the Holy Spirit and not by man!

Jesus reminded them in John 8:31-32 this: Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word you are my disciples indeed. 32 And you shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free.

Abiding in Jesus makes us free continually when we abide in Him continually. We are to know His word and repeat it in our speaking!

He was speaking that which you will know from Him as truth is that which sets you free. It is abiding in His presences and makes one free. It also represents that we stay within His boundary being active within that pattern He has divinely produced. It does not happen in one moment but many moments of our lives.

Our giving time to Him and His presence is a costly thing. It is an investment not to be taken lightly. Within God and His pattern for life is abiding, then pressing forward in that once given freedom through His son Jesus. Jesus did this all the way to the grave. He kept reaching out to His Father and in that Resurrection with great light would bring Him forth unto the new DAY! In that day of rest, we are new, living out in the light and truth of God and not by some word of a liberal!

If we can discipline ourselves to work at a job, then we certainly can discipline ourselves to be active in reading about, and pursuing Jesus. It is not “hey God, I will catch you up on my leisure time.”

Was thinking of the young woman who had been kidnapped at birth and raised by another woman. The whole of this young teen now is based on a lie. Even though she had seen what she thought was a good life, still all of it is based on the false which is a lie.

We start each day either that which is based on God and His Word or of the other. If our lives are dealing with us in the middle, and the choice is only us then we have no hope. Our only hope is in Jesus Christ! Truly Jesus is the Son of God. Truly He has risen to give us life abundantly.

Jeremiah 10:23-24 says that the way of man is not in him to direct his steps.

We have to understand that, when we come to God, we are admitting to Him through repentance that our salvation is not internal—it is not something we can produce. In the same vein, the right way to live is not within us. It must come from outside, and that "outside" is God. Thus, we ask God to direct our steps. At baptism, we are asking God to make us into the image of Christ and to rid us of the perversions of human nature that have produced this world.

Psalm 101:7 NKJV……He who works deceit shall not dwell within my house; He who tells lies shall not continue in my presence.

That continue means: shall NOT BE ESTABLISHED…

Matthew 26:57-60 NKJV…………….57 And those who had laid hold of Jesus led Him away to Caiaphas the high priest where the scribes and the elders were assembled. 58 But Peter followed Him at a distance to the high Priest’s courtyard. And he went in and sat with the servants to see the end. 59 Now the chief priests, the elders and all the council sought false testimony against Jesus to put Him to death, 60 but found none. Even though many false witnesses came forward, they found none. But at last two false witnesses came forward 61 and said, “this fellow said, “I am able to destroy the temple of God and to build it in three days.” 62 and the high priest arose and said to Him, “do you answer nothing? What is it these men testify against You?” 63 But Jesus kept silent. And the high priest answered and said to Him, “ I put You under oath by the living God: Tell us if You are the Christ, the Son of God!” 64 Jesus said to him, “It is as you said. Nevertheless; I say to you, hereafter you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Power, and coming on the clouds of heaven.

Sacrificial love toward other people will be decreasing, but the real cause is that the relationship with God is cooling off. People want more sin and more freedom in that sin!

Matthew 24:9-13 NKJV 9 “Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will hated by all nations for My name’s sake. 10 “And then many will be offended, will betray one another and will hate one another. 11 “Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many 12 and because lawlessness will abound, and the love of many will grow cold. 13 But he who endures to the end shall be saved.

In Closing: Philippians 4:8 to think on that which is true and noble not fantasy…

Finally brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy ----meditate on these things.

Proverbs 25:19 instructs us, "Confidence in an unfaithful man in time of trouble is like a bad tooth and a foot out of joint." Faithfulness always indicates a person who deals truthfully; he can be trusted. Yet, dealing with unfaithful people is usually painful because one never knows whether they will come through. Or if you truly will see them in your need. Thus, our evaluation of ourselves comes down to this question: How can God trust us if we are not striving to be honest now? More want to be entertained and the very thought of work is just terrible for them to handle.

Whatever may be going on in your neighborhood or community, Jesus and His Strength will be required. We must remain in Him and His peace to take the next step through a darkened path. He will set us on His straight and narrow and see we have all the light we need to get to end of days. His truth is every lasting!

Chaos

What degree of chaos do we look to see where we reside? What decides that amount of chaos? Is it of God or the enemy?

Chaos is found in the first chapter of Genesis. This is not that which God makes over by rebuilding and making new. This is when studied has the nature of two beings. Chaos: Genesis 1:1-2 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 The earth was without form and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. and the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.

In the Dake's Study Bible: in the Hebrew the word is tohu va bohu meaning a waste and empty ( Jeremiah 4:23) The earth was not created tohu in the beginning ( Isaiah 45:18) but became tohu because of sin. Satan was cast out of heaven. So here between verse 1-2 we find Holy Spirit hovering. He was regarding the blackness of sin.

In truth chaos began here. In this we call the Bible should be referred to as the War Manual written by God Himself! If you have time to search out these two verses you will find that the Hebrew words were not submitted but held back. In this without form and void is one beast of the system and the second is marked as the darkness. But this is an evil darkness here. And the One who can rid this world of it is a Shepherd with a staff!

This darkness is evil and is filled with confusion, hate, and anger! In this we find Leviathan and Behemoth. The spirit of Leviathan attempts to keep us from entering the Holy of Holies, into the very presence of God. No man could go there except Moses and the High Priest; and then only once a year. This is the third veil, and Leviathan does not want us there. This third veil was rent when Jesus died on the cross. This was the veil between the Spirit-filled realm and the very presence of God. Here Leviathan stands to block entrance.

The spirit of Leviathan attempts to snuff out the lamps (knowledge and understanding); cut off the bread (the manna); and he tries to keep us from offering up daily incense (prayer in the Spirit). He does not want us to move in the Holy Spirit; to have words of knowledge, speak in tongues, or any other spiritual gift. He will choke us off with spiritual deafness and blindness, causing us to be tongue-tied. Leviathan will imitate the Holy Spirit and cause false gifts, healings, and even miracles to manifest in the believers.

Out of his nostrils goes smoke, as out of a seething pot or caldron (His nostrils belch forth smoke, thick as the fumes of a seething pot.). Job 41:20

The smoke from Leviathan nostrils is false prayer and false worship at the altar of incense, and he is commissioned to counterfeit the genuine Pentecostal experience. Because the person is so bound up with pride, he cannot really praise God. He is too important, too bound up in himself, to give any real praise and worship to God.

His scales are his pride, shut up together as with a close seal (His arrogance and haughtiness stems from the tight sealed scales covering his body.). Job 42:15

Leviathan's scales are so close one to another that no air can come between them. The scales are joined one to another and cannot be pulled apart. In scripture; air, breath, and wind are synonymous with the Holy Spirit.

The reason many people get so shut in is because of the effects of Leviathan's tight coils around them, inhibiting the moving of the Holy Spirit. They cannot hear or discern the Holy Spirit, and they say they never get a word from the Lord or move in the gifts. The reason is that no air of the Holy Spirit is able to get in because this demon has such a strangle hold.

The spirit Leviathan wants us to have the counterfeit; and if we get that and are satisfied with it, he has us. Leviathan in the pastor, teacher, evangelist, etc. charms or hypnotizes the people, and they are deceived and seduced into believing they are operating through the Holy Spirit. Today, many are experiencing counterfeit gifts. Many are requiring deliverance from false, error filled ministries. Increasingly, deliverance ministries are having to cast out spirits of false tongues.

One of Leviathan's chief jobs is to mock, come against, and block deliverance and/or deliverance ministries. Most people who fight the deliverance ministry have powerful leviathan demons; and are, therefore, rarely delivered. Many of the ministers who refuse to open up to the ministry of deliverance are being controlled by a leviathan spirit.

The reason pastors, teachers, evangelist, etc. accept leviathan's lies is because they refuse to believe that they may have demons and are in need of deliverance. It's not a 'shame' to have demons, the shame is not acknowledging, repenting, and getting rid of it through deliverance. Instead, they teach the people 'Christians cannot have demons'.

The 'true' deliverance of God is casting out demons according to Mark 16:17- 18:

And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; . . . they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. Mark 16:17-18

The Bible says that if we do not love the truth, God will cause us to believe a lie. The only way to get rid of the demonic influence of Leviathan is to 'cast him out in the Name of Jesus'.

Leviathan stops spiritual growth in people. They cannot pray or read their bible. They go to sleep during services. Whenever there are severe problems with bible study; concentration on spiritual goals; restrictions and bondages which hinder worship or just about anything which is genuinely spiritual and of the Lord; there you will find Leviathan operating.

Depending upon how much control Leviathan exerts over an individual, he can and will hinder and/or stop bible study, genuine edification of praying in the Spirit with understanding, heartfelt praise and worship, fellowship with the Lord's people, and any revival movements.

One of the immediate blessings resulting from the expulsion of Leviathan is a radical apparent in outlook and the whole approach to the spiritual growth process. Many report a clearing of confusion and a great increased ability to read and retain the Word.

His heart is as firm as a stone; yea, as hard as a piece of the nether millstone (His heart is as hard as a rock; solid and unyielding as a nether millstone.). Job 41:24

Leviathan's heart is said to be firm as a stone, hard as a piece of nether millstone. Here, hard and cold heartedness are tied to Leviathan. There is no compassion, grace, or mercy.

In his neck remaineth strength, and sorrow is turned into joy before him (Strength dwells in his neck and terror dances before him.). Job 41:22

The neck speaks of the will. Are you known to have strong-will? Stiff-necked pride and stubbornness are with Leviathan. Sometimes strength in the neck can be a negative thing, because Jesus spoke of the stiff-necked and uncircumcised heart. The bowing of the neck is rebellion, which brings us back to pride.

The flakes of his flesh are joined together: they are firm in themselves; they cannot be moved (The folds of his flesh close in on each other, firmly and immovably cast upon him.). Job 41:23

We are descended from Adam; and therefore, easily affected by pride. This is why Leviathan is so strong, powerful, and deeply rooted in us. The fascination with the forbidden, feeds Leviathan who wreaths himself tightly in the old self.

Can thou draw out leviathan with a hook? Or his tongue with a cord which thou lettest down (Can you draw out the wreathed sea-serpent, the dragon, with a fishing hook? Or his tongue with a rope snare)? Job 41:1

Out of his mouth go burning lamps, and sparks of fire leap out (Flames shoot forth from his mouth, bright as a burning torch). Job 41:19

His breath kindleth coals, and a flame goeth out of his mouth (His very breath will set coals aflame, and fire leaps forth from his mouth). Job 41:21

Tongue problems are rooted in Leviathan. When he gets in the church and looses some of that fire, he sets the whole place ablaze.

And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell. James 3:6

The Leviathan spirit carries the very nature and works of the accuser of the brethren. The first way that this spirit will attack is with his tongue. The lying, critical tongue: this spirit attacks out of his mouth with lies, gossip, accusation, criticism, faultfinding, and slander. He wants to slander your character and bring reproach on your name.

Leviathan is working today through the body of Christ; and we see many churches, ministers, and organizations bringing accusations against one another. There is a critical, faultfinding spirit at work in churches today judging and speaking against moves of God, ministries, and denominations different from one another. If you're a quarreler, contentious, always arguing with people, your problem is pride and the spirit of Leviathan.

He maketh the deep to boil like a pot: he maketh the sea like a pot of ointment (He makes the deep to boil like a pot: he makes the sea foam like a pot of ointment). Job 41:31

Leviathan makes the deep to boil like a pot: and the sea foam like a pot of ointment. This brings us back to self again. The deep is where the real you is located. There is a deep in me, and I'm very careful about who I let in there.

The Leviathan spirit will cause that deep to boil. There will be a restlessness and turmoil, a constant agitation, deep inside. Sometimes you cannot sleep well because there is something moving around, boiling in there. When we get down to the real, true self, we are where Leviathan has his stronghold. Also, note that this boiling is not only in you; but that it also stirs up other people around you (the sea).

Leviathan can come in to strangle your experience in God in such a way that you can slumber for years without notice. Many in the church today are asleep spiritually; and God says, "It is time to wake up"!

Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light. Ephesians 5:14

Another area where Leviathan works is in causing a variety of learning difficulties for youngsters, especially reading problems. Leviathan is the source of confusion and lack of ability to retain things we hear and/or see.

Often pains, stiffness in the neck and shoulder region, and headaches located in the back of the head have been traced to Leviathan. Although this is not the only source for such discomfort, for problems of this nature, check for Leviathan.

Behemoth is found in the book of Job! He eats grass like an ox. His strength is in his loins. ( chapter 40 verse 16) He is slow moving creature found in Job 40. You cannot as man snare him. Jesus is the righteous who does this. And it is coming soon for all to know about! Only God's sword will take him out!

Submit yourself therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. James 4:7

You can resist the devil all day long, but there must first be submission to God if you are really going to be free. You must say, "God, I'm going to have to break out of this pride and become submissive to You. I humble myself before you and ask for your help." This is the starting place to overthrow pride.

Seems like so many things are happening at once: like the fire taking out most of Nebraska. It has burned almost a million acres. How about the Meteor ( 7-ton) hitting Ohio? Viewed from a dash camera, you can see this size of this burning rock coming to earth? How about flooding in Hawaii not one but twice in a week? They are getting what amounts to three months of rain in a day! 52 inches of snow fell in Michigan. Eight tornadoes in Illinois and earthquake in South Carolina. Or how about the meteor that broke the sound barrier in Houston Texas falling into a person's home? Talk about fire and ice....wind with snow making for those whiteouts!

The Good News is that Jesus is both the Answer and the Deliverer. We know that there is no condemnation in Christ Jesus. May we all humble ourselves before God and root out all pride for the destruction of Leviathan in the Name of Jesus.

Lawlessness

Lawlessness promotes divisiveness & bitterness

1 Timothy 6:3-5 NKJV If anyone teaches otherwise & does not consent to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ & to the doctrine which accords with godliness, 4 he is proud knowing nothing, but is obsessed with disputes & arguments over words, from which come envy, strife, reviling , evil suspicions, 5 useless wranglings of men of corrupt minds & destitute of the truth, who supposes that godliness is a means of gain. From such withdraw yourself.

Lawlessness promotes ungodliness: 2 Timothy 2 :15-16 NKJV Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 16 But shun profane and idle babblings, for they will increase to more ungodliness. Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners nor sits in the seat of the scornful.

Lawless= Sin: 1 John 3:4-6 Whoever commits sin also commits lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness. 5 And you know that He was manifested to take away our sins, and in Him there is no sin. 6 Whoever abides in Him does not sin. Whoever sins has neither seen Him nor known Him.

1. Lawlessness is rebelling against God’s word and ways

2. What John has given here is a correction to a false teaching that had appeared.

3. Evidently sin was disregarded and John is addressing it….

4. Any deed in opposition to God and His nature is sinning against Him

5. Romans 4:7 quotes Psalm 32:1…..7-8…NKJV 7 Blessed are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven, & whose sins are covered.

6. Numbers 14:18 makes a connection between sin and Acts of lawlessness..The LORD is long-suffering and abundant in mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression; but He by no means clears the guilty visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and the fourth generation.

7. From the Dake’s study Bible: whoever sins against God, him God will blot out of His book ( Exodus 32:33)

8. Refusing to repent, is refusing God’s means of salvation

9. Until they turn to Him, He punishes…..accordingly for their sins: John 3:16……verse 19 and this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, & men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. & v 21 but he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.., Luke 13:1-5 (repent or perish), Romans 10:9-10, 1 John 1:9

Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners nor sits in the seat of the scornful. Today we choose!

Allegiance to His Coming Kingdom: Born into this world and living within the United States, we are to be the good citizens who appreciate those privileged and many opportunities that have come to us from the forefathers who settled this nation as a constitutional Republic, not a democratic society. It is aligning ourselves with the one true God. Battles have been fought, and conflicts remain, still we are to submit to the nation’s laws and regulations as long as they do not conflict with the command of Almighty God, that is His word! (we are seeing some parts out of control) Yes, the lawless are appearing!

His doctrine is of truth for a righteous life lived out in a conduct that is loving others but is also obeying that which is written in His word. We must look through the lens of eternity and know that without discipleship under His leadership we come to the end of ourselves, have lives not worthy for spit.

In Closing: Living for God, is living life in abundance that Jesus came to give us. It is following that doctrine He set in place before His crucifixion. We should be seeking that radical world that is coming & as He calls out His followers, we understand the evil that remains is against that coming new world where Jesus is King.

YOU can recognize them today. They neither acknowledge nor teach the narrow way to life that is subject to persecution. Jesus certainly was persecuted as was Paul, Peter, James and John. They found life in Jesus and found the narrow way where the believer does not back down or move from adversity when it is against God’ s truth.

In our speaking, do we reveal Jesus, is eternity on our minds…..for God would certainly NOT bring that gift of eternity to him who chases after fleshly things. They will never be found in the presence of God .

Jesus gave us His peace.. …. John 14 : 27 Peace I leave with you, MY peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners nor sits in the seat of the scornful. Today we choose!

Psalm 1: Blessed (happy, fortunate, prosperous and enviable) is the man who walks and lives not in the counsel of the ungodly [ following their advice, their plans & purposes] , nor stands [submissive & inactive] in the path where sinners walk, nor sits down [to relax & rest] where the scornful & the mockers gather. 2 But his delight and desire is in the law of the LORD and on His law (the precepts, the instructions, the teachings of God) he habitually meditates (ponders and studies) by day & by night. 3 And he shall be like a tree firmly planted and tended] by the streams of water, ready to bring forth its fruit in its season, its leaf also shall not fade or wither; & everything he does shall prosper [& come to maturity].

4 Not so the wicked [those disobedient & living without God are not so]. But are like the chaff [worthless, dead, without substance] which the wind drives away. 5 Therefore the wicked [ those disobedient and living without God] shall not stand [justified] in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous [ those who are upright and in right standing with God.

6 For the LORD knows and is fully acquainted with the way of the righteous, but the way of the ungodly [ those living outside God’s will ] shall perish ( end in ruin and come to naught).

1. The righteous one has substance: the word of God

2. They rehearse His words day and night

3. The chaff is blown around by adversity

4. A godly life is birthed out of a godly relationship with God

5. It is only through Him do we see real change in lives

Walking in Him is real change: denoting activity involvement with movement; Godly counsel is needed in our activity in movement involving others as your work place, in family gatherings, in sports activities, more closely seen with your spouse, your child, maybe a friend. Living out of the godly account…..
