II Samuel 6:12-16; 20-23 When Gods people brought the Ark of the Covenant back to Jerusalem (Ark represents God’s Presence), King David danced with great praise, worship and joy with all his heart, his wife hated it and scorned him, but David said, “I will worship God and NONE shall keep me bound.”

Psalm 51:12 King David said alone with repentance, create in me a clean heart, O God, and restore a right spirit in me, and restore unto me the joy of my salvation.
Isaiah 55:12 You shall go out with joy and be led forth with peace.
Nehemiah 8:10 The joy of the Lord is our strength.
Psalm 16:11 In God’s presence is fullness of joy.
Isaiah 21:3 With joy we draw living water out of wells of salvation.
I Peter 1:8 It is joy unspeakable and full of glory.

Symptoms of joy, praise, worship, glory are in the Holy Spirit. What it produces, the effects and manifestations, is: Bright, cheerful and happy, singing, dancing, pleasure, praise for life, glee, shouts of joy and laughter. Like cheerleaders before their team, all win-win.

Praise action is as a trumpet, ear piercing, eye catching, atmosphere catching JOYFUL JUBILEE, Holy Spirit Led praise and worship.

Psalm 132 Let the saints shout for joy
Isaiah 52:9 Break forth into singing

Pray until you move into praise. Praise until you move into worship. Worship until you move into the glory.

Psalm 100:4 Enter God’s gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise.
Hebrews 13:15 Offer sacrifice of praise.


The Israelites came joyfully with their sacrifice. It was a blessed pleasure. We need to learn what they knew….how to bring a free will offering with joy.

Isaiah 57:19 God creates the fruit of our lips.

We are Yours God, create the praise, and worship in us.

Psalm 89:1 I will sing of the mercies of the Lord forever with the sacrifice of my lips.

We can refuse the spirit of Egypt. (Grumbling and complaining, doubt and discord.)

Matthew 6:10 Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.

God said in Heaven, the praise is holy, holy, holy, Hallelujah, amen, amen.

If we want it, say it, sing it, praise it, dance it.

In God it is a jubilee of glory.

Isaiah 62:6 You that make mention of My name, don’t keep quiet.

If God’s people cannot praise, worship or sing aloud, then bondage, fear and pride resides there.

II Chronicles 20 Jehoshaphat prayed for God to deliver Israel, then went into praise, letting his faith loose and saw God’s glory defeat their enemy!
Psalm 8:2 Out of the mouths of babes I will perfect praise.
Isaiah 54:1 Sing O barren woman (church, nation) let everything that has breath praise the Lord.
I Peter 2:9 God desires His royal priesthood, chosen generation, holy nation to show forth the praises of Him that called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.

Psalm 50:20 The people of God, who respond to restore true worship, glorifies God.
Psalm 150
A mighty appeal to praise the Lord.
A mighty command to praise the Lord.
A mighty invitation to praise the Lord.
Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.
John 11:40 Believe, obey and see the glory of God.

Approach God and God’s Word by prayer and joy in His Word before Him, then after prayer, offer praise for answers. Enter into worship and bask in God’s glory.

Believe

Luke 1:45 tells us:
"Blesed is she who believed, for there will be a fulfillment of those things which were told her from the Lord."

Of course this was speaking about Mary, after she was told by the angel of the Lord that she would conceive and bear a son named Jesus, by the Holy Spirit...if she would believe.

I wonder how many other young women God approached with the same offer, and they did not believe.

While looking at that Scripture I kept thinking....Blessed is she, we, he, you, I, us, ME who believed, for there will be a fulfillment of those things which were told...

We are told a lot of things in God's Word, He's given us many, many promises. Am I going to believe them, because there WILL be a fulfillment of those things which we're told....if I believe.

Just above that passage in verse 37 it says:
For with God nothing will be impossible.

Matthew 24:35 says:
"Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away."

Wow, that's a sure deal. We can't find such a deal, as that, on this planet. We need to quit being intimidated by things that are around us, calling to our spirit, soul and body, and BELIEVE what God has told us.

Mark 9:23, 24 tells us of a man that had a son with a mute spirit:
23 Jesus said to him, "If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes."
24 Immediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears, "Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!"

Even this fellow saw that he needed to BELIEVE what Jesus told him. He was so desperate, that he asked the Lord to HELP HIS UNBELIEF. Are we desperate for God and His Word?
We need everything that He's promised us. He knew what we would need, and sent His Son Jesus to make provision for it, with His broken body and His shed Blood. That covenant is just as powerful today as it was the day it was cut for us.

FATHER GOD,

I BELIEVE,

HELP MY

UNBELIEF,

in Jesus' Name.

You Cannot Quit - Go On To Perfection

Hebrews 6:1: Therefore, leaving the discussion of the elementary principles of Christ, let us go on to perfection, not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God.

No matter how bad things are in the world, nations, family, church, YOU CAN NOT QUIT - GO ON.

One more mile, one more day, one more prayer, one more victory, FOR REAL.
We live in perilous times, grim times, fearful times, painful times, hardships, physical, financial, emotional struggles. Bad reports, children overwhelmed by the satanic onslaught of sin, filth, lies, deception, seducing sex bound environment or hell bound society - DESPAIR, FEAR, DEVASTATION will fill our minds, hearts, souls and spirits UNLESS we fill our mind, hears, souls and spirits with the Word of God.

Psalm 78:40-42 says: How they provoked Him in the wilderness and grieved Him in the desert. Yes, again and again they tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel. They did not remember His power: The day when He redeemed them from the enemy.

They limited the Holy One of Israel and lost . We can limit the Holy One of Israel or we can be a zealous praying, obeying, bold, anointed, sanctified army of God, assaulting the gates of hell, till we hear the trumpet sound and the Words, “Come up hither.”

God is not limited by: drought, inflation, sickness, disease, poverty, hate, investments collapses, cheaters, adulterers, fornicators, liars, murders, atheists‘, He is limited by DISBELIEF.

The same power that raised Jesus from the dead is the SAME POWER that is AVAILABLE to us. When we can lay aside our “gods” long enough to PRAY, FAST, SEEK HIM.

I pray Gods Holy Ghost Power rocks the pulpits and the pews. God did not send Jesus to ENTERTAIN the world, He came to SAVE lost, hell bound souls, ladened with sin. There’s only one saving Gospel, REPENT AND BE SAVED IN JESUS’ Name.

Pretending vs. Believing -The Power and Promise of God's Word

Paul wrote this in Romans about Abraham....."as it is written, 'I have made you a father of many nations; in the presence of Him whom he believed - God, who gives life to the dead and calls those things, which do not exist as though they did'" Romans 4:17

The notations in my Bible says this:
Pretending vs. Believing, Power and Promise of God's Word.
Biblical faith involves a balanced perspective; believing God's Word in the face of one's circumstances, while not ignoring circumstances or pretending no problem exists. Faith recognizes the problem, then presents it to God, acknowledging Him in the face of that problem and declaring His truth and promise as the greater "word" on the subject.

Abraham is used here as an example. He did not deny his or Sarah's natural condition, but rather believed God's ability to change circumstances by calling those things that did not exist as though they did. Notice, this verse does not say God calls things that are, as though they do not exist; but rather, that God calls those things, which do not exist as though they do exist. Thus we see that authentic faith does not deny the obstacle at hand, but declares that God is greater than the obstacle. Faith does not deny that a sickness is in the body, but declares Jesus' ability to heal the body (see Mark 5:23). Faith does not deny financial need, but acknowledges Jesus' ability to meet our needs (See Matthew 17:24-27).

Romans 10:9 tells us:
that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.

This is the most foundational lesson in the importance and power of faith's confession found anywhere in the Bible. The principle is established at the very beginning of our life in Christ. Just as salvation (God's righteous working in our behalf) is appropriated by heart belief and spoken confession, so His continuing working in our lives is advanced by the same means.

The word "confess" (Greek homologeo) has the connotation of (a binding public declaration by which a legal relation is contractually established" So, as our words "contract" from OUR side the salvation God has fully provided from HIS by Christ's saving work and power, so we have a principle for all of life. Beginning in the spirit of SAVING faith, we're to grow in ACTIVE faith - believing in God's power for all our needs, speaking with our lips what our hearts receive and believe of the many promises in His Word.

LET'S ACCEPT GOD'S "CONTRACTS" FOR ALL OUR NEED BY ENDOWING THEM WITH OUR CONFESSED BELIEF - JUST AS WHEN WE WERE SAVED.

Father, HELP US to receive Your Promises into our lives with the same belief and confession that brought us to become part of YOUR family. Help us to simply turn and believe, and trust You. You will never disappoint anyone who is leaning on, and trusting You. In Jesus' Name.

Because We Are Warned, We Escape, If We Sin Not

This message came to us this week, and after receiving it, I chose to post it here.


Ezekiel 3:21 - Nevertheless If thou warn the righteous man that the righteous sin not, and he sins not, he shall surely live because he is warned, also the one giving the warning has delivered their soul.

We as ministers, prophets, pastors, have an obligation, a mandate, a responsibility to the world of souls, we are to lead them to God, God’s Word, Gods Way. Make no mistake, the soul that sinneth, it shall die. God so loved us He sent Jesus to die for us that we will not go to hell, if we receive Him as our forgiver, savior, Lord.

People, hell rides across our nations, homes, and churches. Demons on the prowl seducing, deceiving, snaring weak, sin laden souls. I will not water this down. Satan’s time is short. Jesus is coming back, soon. The Jaws of hell are sucking souls every moment of every day, gone forever, never to return.

Today is the day of Salvation. People have set up their gods and left God out. Judgment will come against us if we leave God out. People worship sex, flesh, filth, demons, sorry unclean living. Sin takes it’s toll. It’s death. God doesn’t lie, sin is a killer. Please set your lives in order, your homes, and children. God cries “I have no pleasure in death.” Today lay your sin aside forever! Today decide to escape hell. Heaven/Hell, which shall it be? Only two places to go when we leave this life. Heaven or Hell?

Matthew 6:24 No man can serve two masters, either you will hate the one and love the other, or else will hold to the one and despise the other. (You cannot serve God and Satan if you are a Christian.)

I Corinthians 3:16 Know you not that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? If any man defile the house of God, him God will destroy. For the temple of God (our Bodies) is holy, which temple you are.

I Corinthians 6:17-20 But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him. Flee sexual immorality (adultery and fornication). Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality (adultery and fornication) sins against his own body. (The temple of God) Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you are purchased with the Precious Blood of Jesus, that flowed from His wounded body to free us from sin and hell. Therefore Glorify God in YOUR body and in YOUR spirit, which are Gods.

God has never overlooked sin, God will never over look sin. Sin is a killer, sin is death, sin is a fatal wound. It separates us from God. Only Jesus Christ could come free us from the claws, and chains of hell!!!

Prayer and Repentance is what God CAN move on. Repentance and obedience, God receives. Look to Jesus and Live.
