Turn to See the Voice

 

In listening, that hearing God speak, do we know Him in that silence? What about hearing His authority and strength while He speaks? In verse 10 of Revelation 13..the call is for endurance and faith of the saints. Faith is required ….it should be a knowing of the past faith walk in Him, that although He is neither chaotic nor is He haphazard, but the end times have been orchestrated by Him. It is you and I who are to walk like a beautiful song on a stormy day, to live in harmony with God seated in heavenly places while hell is breaking loose….on earth!

Revelation 1:12 Then I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. and having turned I saw seven golden lamp-stands, 13 & in the midst of the seven lamp-stands  One like the Son of Man, clothed with a garment down to the feet & girded about the chest with a golden band. 14 His head & hair were white like wool, as white as snow, & His eyes like a flame of fire; 15 His feet were like fine brass, as if refined in a furnace, & His voice as the sound of many waters; 16 He had in His right hand seven stars, out of His mouth went a sharp two-edged sword, and His countenance was like the sun shining in its strength.

1.         The sun is a star that will burn out; in the new earth/new heaven, the only light will be from God Himself/Son of Man: Jesus clothed with a garment down to the feet /had a breastplate on….He is the Judge in His righteousness / faithfulness as a Priest/…Jesus is described as His head & hair white like wool/ as white as snow; Dressed in eternity as the Ancient of Days ;He carries wisdom & purity in His judgments/His eyes flames of fire; that His perfect knowledge has infallible insight /reveals nothing escapes His scrutiny… His feet like fine brass, refined in a furnace; brass consistent with judgment based on His work finished on the Cross, He sees who obeyed Him/who resisted Him.  (Voice: sound of many waters: majestic/strong & with authority)

Rev. 1:17& when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead. But he laid His right hand on me saying to me, “Do not be afraid; I am the First & the Last. 18 I am He who lives & was dead, and behold I am alive forevermore. Amen. & I have the keys of Hades & of Death. 19 Write the things which you have seen, & the things which are, & the things which will take place after this.” 20 “The mystery of the seven stars which you saw in My right hand, & the 7 golden lamp-stands: The 7 stars are the angels of the 7 churches,& the 7 lamp-stands which you saw are the 7 churches.

1.         “Do not be afraid; I am the First & the Last. I am He who lives and was dead, & behold I am alive forevermore. Amen”……John fell out under the Spirit of God, but Jesus told him not to fear……Judgment will begin at the “house of God” 1 Peter 4:17 For the time has come for judgment to begin at the house of God; & if it begins with us first, what will be the end of those who do not obey the gospel of God? 18 Now “if the righteous one is scarcely saved, where will the ungodly & the sinner appear? “19 Therefore let those who suffer according to the will of God commit their souls to Him in doing good, as to a faithful Creator.

2.         7 stars are seven messengers/ they are sent to 7 churches to encourage the church to shine for God amid the darkness of the world

3.         Churches will be judged with purpose of purification and reward

4.         The world will be judged with the purpose of punishment

5.         Christ in all His perfections is the supremely qualified to judge the seven churches which are the lamp-stands and the seven stars represent those messengers delivering this message. Some say they were angels others say they would be the pastors of those churches.

John Has the Vision of the Son of Man: clothed with a garment down to the feet & girded about the chest with a golden band. 14 His head & hair were white like wool, as white as snow, & His eyes like a flame of fire; 15 His feet were like fine brass, as if refined in a furnace, & His voice as the sound of many waters; 16 He had in His right hand seven stars, out of His mouth went a sharp two-edged sword, and His countenance was like the sun shining in its strength.

1.         This is the glorified Christ

2.         Christ touched him, He placed His hand on John and assured him that he would not die

Christ Shares His divine Glory with His followers: John 17:5-6 & v. 22 NKJV 5 and now, O Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was. 6 I have manifested Your name to the men whom You have given Me out of the world, they were Yours, you gave them to Me, and they have kept Your word. 22 And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one.

1.         Lives of Christians being transformed into the glorious image of God: 2 Cor. 3:18 NKJV But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord. 

2.           Believers fully glorified at the end of time in God's heavenly presence: Ro 5:2 through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, & rejoice in hope of the glory of God; Col. 3:4 NKJV When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory.   The glory of God will be seen everywhere :Rev 21:23 The city had no need of the sun or of the moon to shine in it, for the glory of God illuminated it. The Lamb is its light.

His praise will be heard/ God’s glory will be honored as well as that audible praise will be heard seen in Rev. 5:12-13. “Worthy is the Lamb who was slain to receive power & riches and wisdom, & strength and honor, & glory & blessing!” 13 And every creature which is in heaven & on the earth & under the earth & such as are in the sea, & all that are in them, I heard saying: “Blessing & honor & glory & power be to Him who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb, forever and ever!”

The Voice of the LORD:3 The voice of the LORD is over the waters; the God of glory thunders: Psalm 24:7-10 Lift up your heads, O you gates! And be lifted up, you everlasting doors! And the King of glory shall come in. 8 Who is this King of glory?               

The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle. 9 Lift up your heads, O you gates! Lift up, you everlasting doors! And the King of glory shall come in. 10 Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, He is the King of glory. Selah

Psalms 24:7 Who is this King of glory? Psalm 24:8, 10 Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle. 10 who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, He is the King of glory.

He is Warrior— He is the King of glory/ He is strong Lord, He is mighty Lord of battle,/the Lord of hosts: Ex 15:3  The LORD is a man of war; the LORD is His name.; Zech 14:3 Then the LORD will go forth & fight against those nations, as He fights in the day of battle. 4 & in that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, Which faces Jerusalem on the east. & the Mount of Olives shall be split in two, from east to west, making a very large valley.  The same Jesus in Rev. 1 is going to step foot on earth! Majesty, mighty,  / strength. Greatness, authority and honor. GLORY! 

In Closing: The Voice as the Sound of Many Waters is with us. He tells us to not fear! His fire will only bring a refining for us to become as clear as amber in His sight!  In His tender love, we are not to fear for 2021 is coming!   2 Thess. 1:7-10  NKJV  7 & to give you who are troubled rest with us when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with His mighty angels, 8 in flaming fire taking vengeance on those who do not know God, & on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 These shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord & from the glory of His power, 10 when He comes, in that Day, to be glorified in His saints and to be admired among all those who believe, because our testimony among you was believed.    In the first chapter of Rev. we begin to see an unveiling of Jesus Christ, when He removes man from governing the earth & takes that responsibility to Himself. It is the fulfillment of the gospel message that He brought.  When Christ is revealed, the Glorified Son in the Kingdom of God will be at hand. Like Jesus, John will reveal that sword. This is good news because it contains a zealous righteous goodness! A pursuit that is active for good to mankind ,a deliberate good to bring a force of love & a justice to an entire creation when the present principalities, powers, & broken governments of men are replaced with a King who will powerfully impose all that is good upon a sin-sick world. Matured to see with spiritual eyes the brightness of His coming, His eyes of fire, & His voice heard as of many waters. For He leads us on…. into eternity! Christ is the source and donor of every gift. For that which is heard is seen…..for in Him there are over-comers indeed!

An OMG Moment

I know those acronyms have to be used at times, but in doing it throughout the day, are we shorting ourselves with actual contact with another. If we use it while texting, then Facebook, are we using in conversations with others as well?

Was thinking on this the last few days. Energy seemed to exit my body and I taking my right and reinforcing my words of strength from God's Word like strength in Psalm 27.

Psalm  27:1-3
The LORD is my light and my salvation;
Whom shall I fear?
The LORD is the strength of my life;
Of whom shall I be afraid? 
2 When the wicked came against me
To eat up my flesh,
My enemies and foes,
They stumbled and fell.
3 Though an army may encamp against me,
My heart shall not fear;
Though war should rise against me,
In this I will be confident.  NKJV

God has given me things to do and it requires lots of strength. He has things for you to do and it requires hearing Him and having strength to do it!

Numbers 24:8-9
8 "God brought them out of Egypt;
they have the strength of a wild ox.
They devour hostile nations
and break their bones in pieces;
with their arrows they pierce them.
9 Like a lion they crouch and lie down,
like a lioness--who dares to rouse them? NIV

Delivered out of Egypt, we too were delivered .......and the Savior is Jesus. The above mentions they came out with the strength of a wild ox.

Brought out to live in God and be free from slavery.

THE WORD OF GOD

The Word of God is God’s witness to the believer (1 John 5:11-13). The Greek text includes the article with the word “life.” Salvation in Christ is not just the gift of life, but of “the life,” the one which comes only through faith in God’s unique Son Declaring Him in Scripture is one who believes in Christ’s as Son and Savior and work on the cross as God’s provision for his sins!

IN  Eternal life, we must read, know and speak to others:John 3:36 The one who believes in the Son has eternal life. The one who rejects the Son will not see life, but God’s wrath remains on him.

1 John 5:11-13 And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. The one who has the Son has this eternal life; the one who does not have the Son of God does not have this eternal life. I have written these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life.

WE declare that Forgiveness of all sin is available in Him.

Acts 10:43 About him all the prophets testify, that everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name.

Colossians 2:13 And even though you were dead in your transgressions and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, he nevertheless made you alive with him, having forgiven all your transgressions.

NO longer slaves we are free In HIM......and that is Freedom from condemnation.

John 5:24 “I tell you the solemn truth, the one who hears my message and believes the one who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned, but has crossed over from death to life.

Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

AND TO BE JUSTIFIED......THAT Justification (declared righteous by God) LOOKS AND SOUNDS LIKE: Romans 5:1 Therefore, since we have been declared righteous by faith, we have peace with GOD THROUGH our LORD JESUS CHRIST.

Romans 4:1-6 What then shall we say that Abraham, our ancestor according to the flesh, has discovered regarding this matter? 2 For if Abraham was declared righteous by the works of the law, he has something to boast about—but not before God. 3 For what does the scripture say? “ Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.” 4 Now to the one who works, his pay is not credited due to grace but due to obligation. 5 But to the one who does not work, but believes in the one who declares the ungodly righteous, his faith is credited as righteousness. 6 So even David himself speaks regarding the blessedness of the man to whom God credits righteousness apart from works:

Romans 4:25 He was given over because of our transgressions and was raised for the sake of our justification.

It is by grace that we are saved through faith, and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God and it is not from works, so that no can boast. We have become His children. 

John 1:12 But to all who have received him—those who believe in his name—he has given the right to become God’s children

Romans 8:14-17 For all who are led by the Spirit of God are the sons of God. 15 For you did not receive the spirit of slavery leading again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption, by whom we cry, “Abba, Father.” 16 The Spirit himself bears witness to our spirit that we are God’s children. 17 And if children, then heirs (namely, heirs of God and also fellow heirs with Christ)—if indeed we suffer with him so we may also be glorified with him.

How can anyone text God? They can't! How can they possibly e-mail Him or send an Instragram......and yet He is ever watching, and ever faithful to waiting on His children to come to Him. It is not in an OMG moment!

In Job 18:7....the verse tells us ...that the steps of his strength are shortened, and his own counsel casts him down.

If I flag communication as bad and deem it necessary to write acronyms, could I be hurting myself? We must speak with our own words that which God has given us to speak. We are to sound much like Jesus.........I and My Father are one!

The Message Bible speaks this of Job 18 ..."Here's the rule: The light of the wicked is put out. Their flame dies down and is extinguished. Their house goes dark------every lamp in the palce goes out. Their strong strides weaken, falter, they stumble into their own traps. They get all tangled up in their own red tape, Their feet are grabbed and caught, their necks in a noose. They trip on ropes they've hidden, and fall into pits they've dug themselves.

Yeah that OMG Moment might just plummet one into total darkness for ever. What we say with our mouths we can surely have.

Maybe I should have titled this: "What you SAY is WHAT you Get"!

In a TESTIMONY of FAITH

I had written earlier this year HIGH RISK! In it was the choice of choosing God's plan for my healing or man's. And in all that, my husband worked with me in reciting, and confessing of what I have in God's Word that pertains to my healing (and yours)!
It was always a step, with another test, with another report and separating fact from the truth of God's Word. In seeing my hemoglobin go from a 4.6 to almost 15 and then fall back to below 10 in late summer was a blow indeed. But I did not take it lying down. No, I pulled those military boots on, and kept the Word flowing, speaking to the symptoms. There were some days I called out faith from bed again, but I stayed the course. Then a word came of a specific infusion that could and would cure the "ill". It was 4 infusions to be exact and a sitting in one chair from 3 up to 7 hours. Questioning my own ability, and not being able to sit still for more than thirty minutes, I gave it again to God. I like being up and doing, studying the Word, cleaning, or putting some new meal for dinner in the Crock Pot!
I sent out emails to those prayer warriors and those who have stood with me in the past. And off we went for the infusions in September. There were no side-effects!
In all this, I am cured today. My hemoglobin is 15.4. Yes, God is good and my belief is that my times are in His Hands. (You know that when the hemoglobin goes anywhere below the 4 and hits zero, that is it, life done, game over!)
My testimony of faith is that I am alive today because God loves me, and because I have faith that He will come through for me. I have that kind of rallying family and friends who care to pray for me and to see what God has planned. I have true love and mercy that comes from those who will pray no matter what, and believe with me for the best God has.

In this time of THANKSGIVING, I am the thankful. I am soaring as our daughter would confess for her mother. I am not the "snoring" and hoping God will come through, but am the one who shouts, "Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world."
Where we stand right now and what we experience is what we believed for yesterday and confessed. We must quiet those voices from the outside that represents the world and the five senses. We should readily receive and accept what we have today in Jesus. We are to be the free! Battle scars, probably, tear stained pillows, likely, but putting one foot in front of the others is a choice I make ( and you make every day). Today, I celebrate those men and women who have kept the faith, and walked to see another day of life in Jesus Christ. Today, I rise and speak out that the Lord lives, and is mighty. He is mighty to save. He is in our midst whether we make our bed in hell or not. The Holy Spirit is loosed into our lives, and may He truly have His way in our lives for today and for all our tomorrows.

Ephesians 1:17-23

 17 I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give me  the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that I may know him better. 18 I pray also that the eyes of my heart may be enlightened in order that I may know the hope to which he has called us, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, 19 and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength, 20 which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, 21 far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. 22 And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, 23 which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way. NIV

All things are under His feet and He lives in me (and you). To Him Who has given us life in abundance I say Amen. To Him Who created us with a plan and purpose for our lives I say Amen. So be it, Lord, so let it be established. Father, the possessor of the heavens and earth, You are the Everlasting God, the Faithful God and the Merciful God. You are truly truth, justice, righteousness and perfection. Ahh, yes, You are perfection. YOU FATHER HAVE A PERFECTED LOVE FOR US!

Father, I pray for those who have come through trials, tribulations, fires and overflowing waters that might have seemed impossible to pass, but God You are more than enough. You are our sufficiency. Where we are weak YOU are strong. It is You Who have put gladness in our hearts. It is YOU Who lead us into straight paths and surrounded us with favor as with a shield.
We are ever thankful for Jesus and His work at the Cross. Today we expect to prosper in Your Word. Because we have Jesus, the precious Lamb sacrificed for our sins, we rise out of mediocrity and give praise to the King forever. He is the Radiant Light leading us ever forward to the full light of day. He is ever leading us toward eternity where Jesus rules over all! It is Your Love enduring, awesome in splendor, Cornerstone, First and Last, Son of God, King of Kings, the Great "I am" in our midst.

I vow to give You praise and ask that everyone who reads this might come to the place of knowing they are not alone. That YOU care for them deeply and want to be apart of their lives. I pray they would be willing to give YOU all the glory for all that You do in and through them. I pray that as we start the new year of 2016, that we would desire that nothing would inhibit our praise to YOU: not circumstances, not finances, nor troubles, nor even successes or things, but that we would be willing to give You all the praise. May we be thankful everyday of the year and not just Thanksgiving Day. For if it had not been for You O'Lord, where would I be now? Today our gladness is being alive, being able to reach others with the love of God. Please interrupt our lives when You must, and keep us ever awake to Your voice. and may Your Word be the light that ever leads us by Wisdom that comes only from God. We desire not to abide in confusion where a "terror" grips the soul. Thank You for new eyes to see and hearing ears to move forward. For we are forever grateful of the mercy You have extended to us.

When our soul melts from heaviness, strengthen us according to Your Word. ( Psalm 119:28) Our soul is comprised of our mind, will and emotions. That  "living" and "breathing" part of us is that which is born as a man, woman or child. Any heaviness is that which is of a closed off heart, that inward part of us. But God delights to clothe us in a garment of praise for all the heaviness of our soul.

Isaiah 61:3.... to grant [consolation and joy] to those who mourn in Zion----to give them an ornament ( a garland or diadem) of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, the garment [expressive] of praise instead of a heavy, burdened, and failing spirit----that they may be called oaks of righteousness [lofty, strong and magnificent, distinguished for uprightness, justice and right standing with God], the planting of the Lord that He may be glorified.


God desires to upset the devil. He desires to show the devil His family and how He cares for His family.
God wants to interrupt our lives and bring us out of confusion and torment. He does not want us ruled by the FIVE! That is, He does not want us to be ruled by what we feel, what we can touch, what we can see, what we can taste, what we can hear like in sound and what we smell.

Our making decisions should not be a "spur" of the moment? Basing any decision, any judgment on anything like that on our senses is pure folly. True knowledge comes from the Father of Lights where that is no shifting shadows.

James 1:17-20, 22
Every good gift and every perfect (free, large, full) gift is from above; it comes down from the Father of all [ that gives] light, in [shining of] Whom there can be no variation [rising or setting] or shadow cast by His turning [as in an eclipse]. 18 And it was of His own [free] will that He gave us birth [as His sons] by [His] Word of truth, so that we should be a kind of firstfruits of His creatures [ a sample of what He created to be consecrated to Himself. ] 19 Understand [this], my beloved brethren. Let every man be quick to hear [ a ready listener,] slow to speak, slow to take offense and to get angry. 20 For man's anger does not promote the righteousness of God [wishes and requires].

22 But be doers of the Word [ obey the message], and not merely listeners to it, betraying yourselves [ into deception by reasoning contrary to the TRUTH]
Amplified Bible

If we are reasoning, then we are using the FIVE, senses that is! We are to have freedom moving at His Word and not throwing a blanket of confusion over ourselves so to speak as in being gripped with some "terror". When we will not rely on God's Word, we become the driver of any situation.

You can see small children needing that "security" blanket when going anywhere. I remember seeing it with our grandchild. She had to have it when going to bed, going to the table, going for a ride and even at church. She had to have her "security", something she could see, touch, smell.........yeah she had fulfilled her sense knowledge.
But being led by our senses, that shifting our own gears to go forward, we are moving out of control, steered by emotions (the big FIVE). Yes, it is the place called FALSE EVIDENCE AVENUE. We do not want to do that. We are to turn from wrong sources for answers and success. We should not want to be a "driver" who will forcefully drive further into darkness and confusion making any decision. Our confidence is to be in God Who will preserve you and me and deliver us from the way of evil, from the man who speaks the perverse things.

Psalm 46:1
God is our Refuge and Strength [mighty and impenetrable to temptation], a very present and well-proved help in trouble. 2 Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change and though the mountains be shaken into the midst of the seas, 3 Though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble at its swelling and tumult. Selah [pause and calmly think of that!]

Any trouble is anxiety of the heart. In it, one finds if their trust is truly in God or in themselves. When trouble comes to trouble, we have the "force" of God's word and praise that will fight the good fight of faith.  It is what we hold in our heart today and dominates that will bring to life and light of where we walk tomorrow!

Oh Father, may we not be those who look for the quick way out, that microwave religion, but truly look for the abiding that comes in and through having a relationship with You. We desire not to live by our five sense but live in the wisdom of God and revelation knowledge of Your Word. Today we desire to have strength which is of vigor, and it is substantial and it is wealth to us. Help us to see the importance of abiding and revering You. Help us to know that by seeking You daily, we are seeking Your strength that brings us to another vantage point. It is not remaining in the 'pit', but remaining close to You that no harm will befall us. All things have come under the feet of Jesus. Whatever can be named is named here:_______________________ and it cannot rise up against us. Lord, thank You for commanding Your angels concerning us to guard us in all our ways of obedience and service to You. There will be no sudden death or destruction that will surprise us, a thousand can fall at our side and then thousand at our right hand, but is shall not come near us. Only a spectator shall we be ourselves...... inaccessible in the secret place of the most High as we witness the reward of the wicked. Lord today we set our love upon You, and set You on high. We are thankful for Your love, mercy and kindness to us. We know that You will answers us when trouble appears, for You shall deliver us and honor us, and it is with long life that You will satisfy us and show our Your salvation. Be glorified and magnified for You are good to us Lord. You are our Light and our Salvation, whom shall we fear. Amen and Amen.

In This I will Be Confident

Psalm  27:1-3.........The LORD is my light and my salvation;
Whom shall I fear?
The LORD is the strength of my life;
Of whom shall I be afraid?
2 When the wicked came against me
To eat up my flesh,
My enemies and foes,
They stumbled and fell.
3 Though an army may encamp against me,
My heart shall not fear;
Though war should rise against me,
In this I will be confident.    NKJV

In salvation, we have moved from the desolate to the blessed. We become those who come to the good in the Lord. We come to a place of blessings that God planned for His family. In this Psalm and Psalm 91, we see the particular safety, a great protection, when we abide in the Lord. When we abide in His word it will deliver.
From the above scripture passage, it says, "in this I will be confident", confident in what? He is confident because he has known the light and salvation. He leads us out of trouble, out of that which brings chaos. So there should be "no fear". The Lord becomes our strength, when we abide in those scriptures that lead us to strength.

Like in Psalm 119:28.....My soul melts from heaviness; strengthen me according to YOUR word.

This strength is for the our soul..........our mind, our will and emotions. It is about the "breathing part" of me. That which is born as a person. And that heaviness of soul......is.....the closed off heart.......that which is inward.......and concerned for what is interrupting our life. But God delights to clothe us in a garment of praise for that heaviness of soul. He wants to bring us out of that secrets of heaviness we hold for ourselves and wants us to express the joy of heart .........gladness to being alive......and.....not governed by the five senses.
Five Senses: are feel, what I can touch, what I see with my eye, taste in my mouth, sound, and smell.

These make for bad "masters" for us to be ruled by, ever!
Have you ever made a decision on the "spur" of the moment? Did you afterward feel like your body was an earthquake all by itself? Not a good place to be! Basing any decisions on our senses is folly, indeed! Without that true knowledge, we fall as a victim to those five senses. Making any decision on that fear factor, we move to a place of confusion. Father God is to be our light with His knowledge leading us by His wisdom, but do we choose to blanket ourselves in that confusion where a "terror" grips our souls? When we will not rely on God's word, we become "the driver" of any situation. When we shift the gears to go forward, we are acting on fear based emotions that have taken the command and lead. This place is called "FALSE" EVIDENCE AVENUE!   Our trust is to be in God. We are to have knowledge of the Holy One.
When we seek that gladness, and put on praise......we can see differently. We can actually see with new eyes, that life includes God. Not reflecting on how bad the economy, or what the government leaders are speaking!  Some lead by what was done yesterday or last year. We are to turn from wrong sources for our answers and success. God has not given us a spirit of fear, but He has given power, love and a sound mind. (2 Timothy 1:7)  Staying in God and His knowledge, teaches us His wisdom and will keep us out of the "fear factor" camp! It is imperative to have light of God's truth shining in on the "thing" or the "man" who has set out to harm us! We certainly saw this in the 2007-2008 Global Crisis when so many lost in the stock exchange fiasco and many lost because they believed the bankers who wanted to lend money on homes that people could not afford. I remember seeing a documentary not soon after all that about Las Vegas and all the brand new homes that stood empty. There was no one living there because all those who had bought could not afford that "new home".

I do not want to be that driver, who will forcefully drive further into darkness and confusion to make a decision. We can be confident that God will preserve you and me and deliver us from the way of evil, from the man who speaks perverse things.
When the enemy appears, we can have courage in our hearts to defeat him with light and truth that is found in God and in Him alone!

Psalm 46:1...God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Well, trouble comes to hassle you, It comes bringing inconvenience, much worry and concern. Yes, trouble is  ANXIETY! In it, one finds if their trust is in God, or in themselves. When trouble comes to trouble us, then we have the "force " of praise to fight against that which would want to dominate our thought life!

Isaiah 40:31...But those who wait on the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint. NKJV

But they who will look to the LORD, look upon HIM, shall renew their strength.  This strength is "koach" meaning of firm, with vigor......a force.....that will produce fruit.......a substance. even wealth.

Like eagles, those who look upon the LORD move to another vantage point in looking. They gain their strength by looking into that perfect law of liberty. Keeping our focus on God the Lord, brings a substance........something tangible. We experience that "good" that adds and multiplies us and does not take away from us.

People with strength of the Lord will be noticed by others. When adversity strikes, those people will lead others out of the "problem". That walking is not only a leading others out, but it is a "marching"......a confident trust in the Lord. They can say with confidence, "This is mine, the Lord has given it to me..........and no devil can take it from me.".........type of attitude! This person is one who will be running to the "situation" and taking care of it with the wisdom of God and not running from it. They have kept their eyes on Him and not on things, people, or the world. They keep their focus always!

Psalm 27:1........the Lord is the strength of my life.....of whom shall I be afraid?

I have run to the "Rock" of my salvation. 

Isaiah 26:4............4 Trust in the LORD forever, for the LORD, the LORD, is the Rock eternal. 

NIV

Psalm 27:2..............2 When the wicked came against me 

To eat up my flesh,
My enemies and foes,
They stumbled and fell.
3 Though an army may encamp against me,
My heart shall not fear;
Though war should rise against me

The wicked, the mischief maker, the person who sows discord, those wicked that try to devour the righteous, those who are out for financial gain by speaking lies, those enemies and foes stumble and fall. Though an army encamps against you, the heart shall not fear and even  in war.......but the LORD IS OUR CONFIDENCE!

We are the confident that the Lord will direct us through and lead us on to victory.

.....though war should rise against me...........IN THIS I WILL BE CONFIDENT!

Father, in Jesus' name we pray today for this confidence......that strength, which is of vigor, it is substantial and it is wealth to us.

May we stand today in readiness to receive Your word of truth, that Light and Salvation to us. I pray that each who read this will seek You daily, seeking that strength that brings us to another vantage point. That in worship, that praise of our lips brings us to a joy of heart. I pray that we would be those who would not want to remain in that "secretness" of our own wishes and closing ourselves off to do our own thing, but seek to be part of the secret place in You from Psalm 91:1-2. Dwelling in that secret place with YOU........abiding in Your Word and plan...........and by making YOU the Most High our dwelling, no harm will befall us. No kind of disaster will come near our homes. Lord thank YOU for commanding Your angels concerning us to guard us in all our ways, and that You rescue us. (verse 14) Thank You that YOU protect us, because we acknowledge Your name. And that when we do call on YOU, YOU will answer. We believe to be those who have a long satisfied life. Be glorified and magnified for YOU are good to us Lord. You are our Light and our Salvation. Amen and Amen!
