Live 4 The LORD

The wicked are allowed to do wicked

We all have a choice to listen and obey, or not

There is enough grace sufficient for them to turn

If they do not repent their destiny is to be destroyed forevermore 

Psalm 92:7

When the wicked sprouted up like grass

And all who did injustice flourished,

It was only that they might be destroyed forevermore.

God Reigns

God is Majestic 

He has established the world

God’s Throne is established from eternity

Fear nothing except not being with Him

Psalm 93:1-2

The LORD reigns, He is clothed with majesty;

The LORD has clothed and encircled Himself with strength.

Indeed, the world is firmly established; it will not be moved.

Your throne is established from of old;

You are from eternity.

Human thoughts are not his ways

We must train in his word

Psalm 94:11

The LORD knows human thoughts,

That they are mere breath.

Discipline is love

The law heals our hearts

Obeying the law grants relief from grief

Do not fight the discipline 

The wicked will be destroyed 

Choose the path of healing not destruction 

Psalm 94:12-13

Blessed is the man whom You discipline, LORD,

And whom You teach from Your Law,

So that You may grant him relief from the days of adversity,

Until a pit is dug for the wicked.

If God chooses to use his saints to use his name for healing and intercession, who are you to say he cannot. 

Maybe letting others pray for you is humbling. 

Do not put God in a box, he can do as he pleases. 

The saint is not the one with the power to heal

It is not their power or godliness

It is the Faith in His Name

It is the Name of Jesus that heals

It is the Faith that comes through Jesus 

Acts 3:12, 16

But when Peter saw this, he replied to the people, “Men of Israel, why are you amazed at this, or why are you staring at us, as though by our own power or godliness we had made him walk? 

And on the basis of faith in His name, it is the name of Jesus which has strengthened this man whom you see and know; and the faith which comes through Him has given him this perfect health in the presence of you all.

Repent and return to God

Your sins will be wiped away

You will be able to be in His presence

He will refresh your soul in his presence

Jesus will be sent to you

Jesus is appointed for you (all blessings are in him)

You must listen to Jesus

If you do not listen to Jesus you will be utterly destroyed 

All people will be blessed through him. 

God raised up from the dead Jesus for you!

He sent Jesus to bless you by turning you from your own wicked ways. 

The blessings are not about this life (For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world.)

If you are asking for these blessings you are missing the point! It is about becoming a new person. (Turned away from evil and becoming Holy) living in communion in his presence. You must listen and obey (belief is not enough-obedience is proof of belief and love)

Acts 3:19-26

Therefore repent and return, so that your sins may be wiped away, in order that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord; and that He may send Jesus, the Christ appointed for you, whom heaven must receive until the period of restoration of all things, about which God spoke by the mouths of His holy prophets from ancient times. Moses said, ‘THE LORD GOD WILL RAISE UP FOR YOU A PROPHET LIKE ME FROM YOUR COUNTRYMEN; TO HIM YOU SHALL LISTEN regarding everything He says to you. And it shall be that every soul that does not listen to that prophet shall be utterly destroyed from among the people.’ And likewise, all the prophets who have spoken from Samuel and his successors onward, have also announced these days. It is you who are the sons of the prophets and of the covenant which God ordained with your fathers, saying to Abraham, ‘AND IN YOUR SEED ALL THE FAMILIES OF THE EARTH SHALL BE BLESSED.’ God raised up His Servant for you first, and sent Him to bless you by turning every one of you from your wicked ways.”

I John 2:16

For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world.
