Foundational Scripture:
Deuteronomy 31:6 in the
Amplified Bible, “ be strong, courageous and firm; fear not nor be in terror
before them, for it is the Lord your God Who goes with you; He will not
fail you or forsake you.”
The courageous do not have to pretend. They have this
undaunted courage. These people are going into the Promised Land…there is the
“new” before them. All they must do is walk in ………, right?
They ARE TO HAVE no
fear, THEY ARE TO HAVE NO discouragement. They are armed with the Presence of
God!
Told
our righteousness is revealed is seen
faith to faith….. Romans
1:16-17 NKJV…….For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ,
for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew
first and also for the Greek. 17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed
from faith to faith, as it is written, “The just shall live by faith.”
• It is active
and readily seen in a true worshiper of God.
• It is from a
willing heart
Living a Life that is Strong and Unflinching ….in
this Habakkuk speaks about this burden he sees and talks with the Lord. In
Chapter 1….and verse 1-2 he sees and cries out at the violence in the streets.
He sees justice as a joke….And Habakkuk asks God why He is silent right now at
the moment this is all appearing.
Habakkuk
2:1-4 Amplified Bible….1
Oh, I know, I have been rash to talk out plainly this way to God! I will [in my thinking] stand upon my post of observation and station
myself on the tower or ..fortress,( not
in street traffic, but in a quiet place) and will watch to see what He
will say within me and what answer I will make [as His mouthpiece] to the
perplexities of my complaint against Him.
Habakkuk 2:2 And the Lord answered me and said, Write the vision and engrave it so plainly upon tablets that everyone who passes may [be able to] read it easily and quickly as he hastens by. 3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time and it hastens to the end[ fulfillment]; it will not deceive or disappoint. Though it tarry, wait [earnestly] for it, because it will surely come; it will not be behindhand on its appointed day. 4 Look at the proud; his soul is not straight or right within him; but the [rigidly] just and the [uncompromisingly] righteous man shall live by his faith and in his faithfulness.

God has given us faith to live as Jesus did………and He has
given us His Holy Spirit to not fear. He
has given us power, love, and a sound mind to prevail in all situations. (2 Timothy 1:7) Righteousness of God
is revealed from faith to faith…..
Deuteronomy
31:6-17 Amplified
Bible 6"Be
strong, courageous, and firm; fear not nor be in terror before them, for it is
the Lord your God Who goes with you; He will not fail you or forsake you. 7)
And Moses called to Joshua and said to him in the sight of all Israel, Be strong, courageous, and firm, for you shall go
with this people into the land which the Lord has sworn to their fathers to
give them, and you shall cause them to possess it. 8) It is the Lord Who goes before you; He will [march]
with you; He will not fail you or let you go or forsake you; [let there be
no cowardice or flinching, but] fear not, neither become broken [in spirit,
depressed, dismayed, and unnerved with alarm]. Also read Joshua 1:6,7,9,18;
10:25.
Don’t be alarmed at what is being spoken in the streets! (we possess what we have in Jesus Christ)
Amplified Bible 1 And when Rehoboam came to
Jerusalem; he assembled of the house of Judah and Benjamin 180.000 chosen
warriors to fight against the [ten rebellious tribes of] Israel to bring the
kingdom again to Rehoboam. 2 But the word of
the Lord came to Shemaiah the man of God sayng, 3 Say to Rehoboam son of
Solomon king of Judah, and to all Israel in Judah and Benjamin, 4 Thus says the
Lord: You shall not go up or fight against your brethren. Return every man to his house, for this thing is
from Me. And they obeyed the Lord and returned from going against Jeroboam. 5
Jeroboam dwelt in Jerusalem and built cities for defense in Judah.
11
He fortified the strongholds and put captains in them, with stores of food, oil
and vintage fruits. 12 And in each city he put shields and spears and made them very strong. So he held Judah and Benjamin 13
And the priests and the Levites who were in all Israel came over to Rehoboam
from wherever they lived. 14 For the Levites left their suburbs and their
possessions and came to Judah and Jerusalem, for Jeroboam and his sons had cast
them out from executing the priest’s office to the Lord. 15 And he appointed
his own priests for the high places and for the [idols, of demon] he-goats and
calves he had made. (1 Kings 12:28)
16 And after
them out of all the tribes of Israel there came to Jerusalem those who set
their hearts to seek the Lord, the God of their fathers. 17 So they
strengthened the kingdom of Judah and upheld Rehoboam son of Solomon for 3
years; for they walked in the ways of David & Solomon for three years.
Verse 17 says, "So they strengthened the kingdom of Judah
and upheld Rehoboam for three years; for they walked in the ways of David and
Solomon for three years." As long as they sought after the Lord and walked
in His ways they were able to keep the city.
God spoke in this: for this is from Me. And they obeyed the Lord and returned from going against Jeroboam. Rehoboam fortified the cities, the people who obeyed they stored food, oil and vintage fruits, also they put in the strong shields and spears and made them very strong, having Judah and Benjamin on his side. The priests and the Levites who were in all Israel took their stand with him. They left their common lands and their possessions and came to Judah and Jerusalem, for Jeroboam and his sons had rejected those from serving as priests to the LORD.
Jeroboam was appointing for himself priests for the high places for the demons, and the calf idols which he had made.
The church cannot sanctify something of the world and make it a part of that which is done in God! They tried that in the Catholic Church. That will not work. You cannot sanctify what God has not sanctified! The Catholic Church has Jesus as the son of Mary and states it as Mary the Mother of God! We know Him as in truth the SON of GOD!
We have come to our homes to hear Him and obey Him. We are strengthened in the secret place to obey His heart and not the many voices of men! When we go out of the secret place, we are to openly obey Him and not take to us things of the world to serve Him!
We prepare our homes with that which is needed and expect the Lord to direct our way through any "perfect storm" or circumstance. God is our sufficiency!

Psalm 71: 1-3 Amplified Bible In You, O Lord, do I put my
trust and confidently take refuge, let me never be put to shame or confusion! 2
Deliver me in Your righteousness and cause me to escape; bow down Your ear to
me and save me! 3 Be to me a rock of refuge in which to dwell and a sheltering
stronghold to which I may continually resort, which You have appointed to save
me, for You are my Rock and my Fortress.
Luke 10:19-20 Amplified Bible 19"Behold,
I have given you authority and power to trample upon serpents and
scorpions, and [physical and mental
strength and ability] over all
the power that the enemy [possesses]; and nothing shall in any way harm
you." 20 Nevertheless; do not rejoice at this, that the spirits are
subject to you, but rejoice that your names are enrolled in heaven.
It was about salvation……..and receiving that salvation by
faith…..In that Jesus rules.
·
It is a spiritual walk of faith: that is to obey and hear God
speak
·
Anything done in the flesh is taxing to our strength
·
Done in God, we are not exhausted………the Lord never leaves us
without strength
Deuteronomy 31:6 in the Amplified Bible, “ be strong,
courageous and firm; fear not nor be in terror before them, for it is the Lord
your God Who goes with you; He will not fail you or forsake you.”
·
Our sphere of authority comes out of the place we first seek God
face to face….is by prayer, by teachings…and is in
worship…..Jesus was seen at
age 12 and in Jerusalem….
Remember: Moses authority came at the place
he was tending sheep in the wilderness and it grew from there..Exodus 3…. He
met Jethro there and his wife…..Zipporah …Exodus 4
·
We
are not just the “saved ones, but those who have the indwelling Holy spirit who
empowers us to do exploits.
·
Come
to a place that is with God and away from T.V. cell phones and other voices. Come, and notice God's presence and not a mere man!
Pray Our Father, who is Heaven hallowed be
your name, your kingdom come, Your will be done on earth, in earth, in me in
Jesus name.
Allow His peace to
strengthen and allow His peace to help you root out that which must be removed.
Remember anything that even represents a work of darkness is meant to keep
God’s kingdom from advancing.
·
Wait on Him, receive instruction and move forward.
Wait in humbleness of heart………be not the proud…….but truly seek
His face and His voice and write what He gives you.
In closing: By faith in Him, we have
our identification with His Son.
And to be with the Son is to be
rejected by human nature. For you and I reside in a spiritual kingdom by
faith. It is fasting and praying. It is reading God’s Word and casting out
demons, not setting them up to reign!
Matthew
7:13-14 NKJV….(13)
"Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that
leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. (14) Because narrow
is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who
find it. NKJV
Matthew
7:13-14 Message Bible…..13
Don’t look for shortcuts to God. The market is flooded with surefire, easygoing
formulas for a successful life that can be practiced in your spare time. Don’t
fall for that stuff, even though crowds of people do. The way to life---to
God----is vigorous and requires total attention.
Psalm
118:19-29 Amplified Bible….19
Open to me the [temple] gates of righteousness; I will enter through them, and I will confess and praise the
Lord. 20 This is the gate of the Lord; the [uncompromisingly ] righteous shall
enter through it. 21 I will confess, praise and give thanks to you, for You
have heard and answered me; and You
have become my Salvation and Deliverer. 22 The stone which the builders
rejected has become the Chief Cornerstone. 23 This is from the Lord and is His
doing; it is marvelous in our eyes. 24
This is the day which the Lord has brought about, we will rejoice and be
glad in it.
25 Save now, we beseech You, O Lord;
send now prosperity, O Lord, we beseech You, and give to us success! 26 blessed
is he who comes in the name of the Lord; we bless you from the house of the
Lord[ you who come into His sanctuary
under His guardianship .] 27 The Lord
is God, Who has shown and given us light [He has illuminated us with grace,
freedom and joy]. Decorate the festival with leafy boughs and bind the
sacrifices to the be offered with thick cords [ all over the priest’s court,
right up] to the horns of the altar. 28 You are my God and I will confess,
praise and give thanks to you; You are my God. I will extol You. 29 O give
thanks to the Lord, for He is good; for His mercy and loving-kindness endures
forever.
Of this day and time in 2020 (May 3) the word I keep hearing and is mentioned daily is " being conditioned"...but, we are not to be conditioned to the things of this world, but conditioned in that which is Christ Jesus, where heaven is our home, we are but pilgrims passing through...to that which God intended....Hebrews 11:13-16 NKJV 13 these all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off were assured of them, embraced them and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.14 For those who say such things declare plainly that they seek a homeland.15 And truly if they had called to mind that country from which they had come out, they would have had opportunity to return. 16 But now they desire a better, that is, a heavenly country. Therefore God is not ashamed to be their God, for He has prepared a city for them.
Matthew 5:4 Amplified Bible 4 blessed and enviably happy [with a happiness produced by the experience of God's favor and especially conditioned by the revelation of His matchless grace] are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. Matthew 5:8 Blessed ( happy, enviably fortunate, and spiritually prosperous---possessing the happiness produced by the experience of God's favor and especially conditioned by the revelation of His grace; regardless of their outward conditions) are the pure in heart, for they shall see God!
Meaning is: if you tell lies, you are not the pure in heart! Psalm 24 3-4 Who shall go up into the mountain of the Lord? Or who shall stand in His Holy Place? 4 He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who has not lifted himself up to falsehood or to what is false, nor sworn deceitfully. You cannot be tuned into those who "give false news" and expect to walk in truth! You cannot expect to remain with those who give truth, if you yourself swear to truth but only speak and give false testimony!
If you require someone to rescue you today when you have Jesus, then you have totally missed Him! For life in Him is a trust. It is a place secure and not a place where the world hands you something and tell you to be secure in it. No, we are to be conditioned, that trained for war, battle ready, in that we pray and seek His plan above all else that what the world may speak or can promise. Are you battle ready? The temple gate is Jesus in us, so we are victors entering with praise, giving thanks for salvation through Jesus Christ.

That which had been the rejected is being rejected today,
but we knew this would happen. THIS not happenstance. This is God’s Work and
it is marvelous in our eyes. Oh God this
is all for YOUR glory….. God has acted…and we pray for those in leadership all over
this land and around the world will heed the counsel of God, not mourn over that which was only things of the world, but come out armed with God's word and prayer to see the the justice of God prevail.
We
are thankful for Jesus, thankful for the life of God, thankful for the
blessings of the Lord which makes rich and He adds no sorrow with it! We rejoice, we
know God is good and is the One true God. O Lord YOU have bathed us in Your
glorious Light. You have brought us onto freedom of that liberty in Jesus
Christ. He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face
of the earth, and has determined their pre-appointed times and the boundaries
of their dwellings 27 so that they should seek the Lord, in the hope that they
might grope for Him and find Him, though he is not far from each one of us; 28
for in Him we live and move and have our being, as also some of our own poets
have said, ‘For we are also His offspring. 29 Therefore, since we are the
offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is gold or
silver or stone, something shaped by art and man’s devising. 30 Truly, these
times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to
repent. Salvation is a place : 1. The place we dwell is a place of life. It is
the place of son-ship. It is not a place of fear but the place where God’s
children reside. It is the place we share in Jesus Christ as co-heirs…..2. It
is a place of citizenship with our names recorded in a book of Life…..3. It is
a place where light dispels darkness; where fruit grows that is of
righteousness and justice…..4. It is a place where there is only one true God,
one doctrine, one Savior, one Helper, the Holy Spirit, ……5. It is a place that
has the presence of God: His peace and His love…….6. It is the place Jesus told
us about and that He went to prepare. Tonight we are not to allow our hearts to
be troubled. For you and I, have followed the “…the way, the truth, and the
life. No one comes to the Father except through Jesus.
2
Corinthians 13:14 May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God,
and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen!
