“Shield and Answerings”

August 31, 2019

“Shield and Answerings”

Blessings folk!

David continues to give thanks to the Lord.
He continues to detail what the Lord had/has done for him.

2 Sa 22:36

“You have also given me the shield of Your salvation,
And Your help makes me great.

David’s shield?
Our shield?
The salvation of the Lord!
The Lord saves.
The Lord protects.

Then this…

The “help” of the Lord makes us great.
“Help” can also be translated “answering”.

It is the Lord that is the source of our knowledge.
It is the Lord that gives enlightenment, illumination…answers.

Eph 1:17-19

that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory,
may give to you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of Him.

I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened,
so that you will know what is the hope of His calling,
what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,

and what is the surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe.

Wisdom.
Revelation.
Knowledge.
Enlightenment.
Hope.
Riches.
Greatness of His power toward us who believe.

That is true greatness.
His power moving through Believers.

This is how we should be living.

“For Who Is God…”

August 30, 2019

“For Who Is God…”

Blessings folk!!

Who is like the Lord?
There is none.

David continues his song of deliverance.

Note Who the Lord is.
Note what He did for David.
Note what He will do for us.

2 Sa 22:32-35

“For who is God, besides the LORD?
And who is a rock, besides our God?

“God is my strong fortress;
And He sets the blameless in His way.

“He makes my feet like hinds’ feet,
And sets me on my high places.

“He trains my hands for battle,
So that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.

God is our Lord.
God is our Rock.
God is our Fortress.
God sets us free…at liberty…in our/His way.
God makes our feet like hinds’ (deer) feet…light and agile as a doe.
God sets us on the high places.
God trains our hands for battle…so as to bend the bow.

God, our Rock, does all this.

Why fear?
Why fret?
Why be consumed with anxiety?
Why give heed to the lying spirit of insecurity?

Walk in the boldness of The Rock!!

“Blameless. Tested. Shield"

August 29, 2019

“Blameless. Tested. Shield"

Blessings folk!

David rejoiced in what the Lord had done for him.
David acknowledged that God was his lamp, the illumination for his life and path.

David continues…

2 Sa 22:31

“As for God, His way is blameless;
The word of the LORD is tested;
He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him.

David turns from “what God has done” to “who God is”…His character.

God’s way is blameless.
God’s Word is tested.
God is a shield…to all who take refuge in Him.

Blameless…means “complete”, “having integrity".
Tested…His Word will never fail. It has been proven repeatedly. Carries the idea of the refiner’s fire.
Shield…”protector”…also refers to alligator hide! You get the idea.

Why would we trust in any other - person or situation?
Why do we turn to our own way rather than to the Lord?

David knew.
David understood.

Rest.
Live. In the power of the Lord and His protection.

“Lamp. Leap”

August 28, 2019

“Lamp. Leap”

Blessings folk!

David learned the truth.
David knew the truth.
David proclaimed the truth.
David lived the truth.

2 Sa 22:29-30

“For You are my lamp, O LORD;
And the LORD illumines my darkness.

“For by You I can run upon a troop;
By my God I can leap over a wall.

David knew and proclaimed that the Lord is our lamp.
The Lord illumines the darkness about us.
He lights the way.
He reveals.

Psa 119:105
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.

David knew and proclaimed that it is by the Lord that he had the strength to “run upon” - “crush” - a troop of men.
David knew and proclaimed that is was by God that he could leap over a wall.

(The first “superman”…leaping over tall buildings? Happy )

It is by the Light and Strength of the Lord that we as true believers can do anything.

Let us live by the Lord and that which He provides.

“The Lord Has Rewarded Me…”

August 25, 2019

“The Lord Has Rewarded Me…”

Blessings folk!

David’s great psalm of deliverance by the Lord in 2 Samuel 22 contains many interesting truths.

The next few verses are enlightening…and confusing?

Watch what the Lord did.
Watch what David says as to the reason.

2 Sa 22:21-22

“The LORD has rewarded me according to my righteousness;
According to the cleanness of my hands He has recompensed me.

“For I have kept the ways of the LORD,
And have not acted wickedly against my God.

The Lord had rewarded David…
The Lord recompensed David…

  • According to David’s righteousness
  • According to the cleanness of David’s hands

Huh?

We are immediately reminded of the various sins of David revealed in the Word.

Yet, David states…
  • I have kept the ways of the Lord
  • I have not acted wickedly against God

David acknowledged his sins.
David confessed.
David repented.
Then he moved on in the power of the Lord.

Forgetting what was behind…he pressed on…

“He Delighted in Me”

August 24, 2019

“He Delighted in Me”

Blessings folk!!

David continues the long word of thanks and praise unto the Lord.

The Lord had rescued David.

The Lord did more.

Learn…

2 Sa 22:20

“He also brought me forth into a broad place;
He rescued me, because He delighted in me.

The Lord brought David into a broad place…wide expanses…figuratively it means a place of freedom, a place free from stress and anxiety.

The Lord brought peace.
The Lord brought freedom.
The Lord rescued.
The Lord brought victory over enemies.

Why?

Because He delighted in David.

Why did the Lord delight in David?
Did David “do everything right”?
Was David “perfect”?

If you know anything about David, then you know he was not perfect.

Yet, the Lord delighted in Him.

We will see why.

Does the Lord delight in you?

August 23, 2019

“The Lord - Our Support”

Blessings folk!

We continue with David’s great song of the Lord’s deliverance…

2 Sa 22:17-19

“He sent from on high, He took me;
He drew me out of many waters.

“He delivered me from my strong enemy,
From those who hated me, for they were too strong for me.

“They confronted me in the day of my calamity,
But the LORD was my support.

Note David’s situation.

It was a day of calamity.
A strong enemy had come against him.
An enemy too strong for him.
An enemy who hated.
An intense confrontation.

What did the Lord do?

He “sent from on high”.
He took David.
He drew David out of many waters…a picture of chaos, fear.
He delivered David.

The Lord will do the same for those who are His.

He will deliver.

As He was with David, He is our support.

“The Rebuke of the Lord…”

April 22, 2019

“The Rebuke of the Lord…”

Blessings folk!!

David cried to the Lord.
The Lord heard.
The Lord responded.
The Lord rescued.

We continue to see the things the Lord did.

Consider…

2 Sa 22:16

“Then the channels of the sea appeared,
The foundations of the world were laid bare
By the rebuke of the LORD,
At the blast of the breath of His nostrils.

The Lord parted some water on the behalf of David?
Perhaps.
We know God had done it before…Moses…Joshua.

As Jesus revealed, the Lord controls all the He created.
Weather.
Sea.
Land.
Foundations of the world!

There is more to the “foundations of the world” than we know…more than we likely want to know.

Know this, all bow before the Lord.

Why fear?
Why worry?
Why fret?

Do not.

The Lord is for us.

“He Sent Out Arrows…”

August 21, 2019

“He Sent Out Arrows…”

Blessings folk!

David continues his declaration of what the Lord had done for Him…a lengthy rejoicing in the power of the Most High God.

A good reminder in the “dog days of summer”… Happy Happy

2 Sa 22:13-15

“From the brightness before Him
Coals of fire were kindled.

“The LORD thundered from heaven,
And the Most High uttered His voice.

“And He sent out arrows, and scattered them,
Lightning, and routed them.

As we have wondered…
Literal?
Metaphor?
Poetic?

Yes!

Apparently the Lord used the weather to bring a defeat to the enemy.

He sent arrows to scatter them.
The “arrows” are described as lightning.

The Lord thundered from heaven.

David is telling us that the very creation speaks forth the utterance of the voice of the Lord.

Rejoice in this.
Rest in this.
Remember, the Lord will fight for those who are His.

We continue with how…

2 Sa 22:11-12

“And He rode on a cherub and flew;
And He appeared on the wings of the wind.

“And He made darkness canopies around Him,
A mass of waters, thick clouds of the sky.

God rode on a cherub and flew.
Really?
God appeared on the wings of the wind.
Really?

God made darkness canopies around Him.
Really?

God made darkness a mass of waters…thick clouds of the sky.
Really?

Yes!

God used nature/weather to help David.
God used divine beings to help David.

He will do so for those who are His and who call upon Him.

“He Was Angry…”

Blessings folk!

God responded when David cried out to Him…

2 Sa 22:8-10

“Then the earth shook and quaked,
The foundations of heaven were trembling
And were shaken, because He was angry.

“Smoke went up out of His nostrils,
Fire from His mouth devoured;
Coals were kindled by it.

“He bowed the heavens also, and came down
With thick darkness under His feet.

God…

  • Caused the earth to shake/quake
  • Caused the foundations of heaven to tremble/shake
  • Was angry
  • Brought smoke from His nostrils
  • Brought fire from His mouth to devour
  • Bowed the heavens
  • Came down with thick darkness under His feet.

Literal?
Figurative?
Metaphor?
Etc.?

David’s account in 2 Samuel 22 is lengthy.

Let us continue to read…consider…seek…search.

Know this.

The Lord will act for those who are His.

“God Responded…”

Blessings folk!

We have seen the previous couple of days that David was in distress.

…wave of death encompassed me
…torrents of destruction overwhelmed me
…cords of Sheol surrounded me
…snares of death confronted me

Enemies were about and after him.

We saw what David did - He cried out to God.

Now…we continue…

2Sa 22:7
“In my distress I called upon the LORD,
Yes, I cried to my God;
And from His temple He heard my voice,
And my cry for help came into His ears.

David…

  • Called upon the Lord
  • Cried to God

God’s response?
  • He heard…from His temple
  • David’s cry for help came to His ears.

How do you think God responded?

2Sa 22:8
“Then the earth shook and quaked,
The foundations of heaven were trembling
And were shaken, because He was angry.


God was angry.
He shook the earth…it quaked.
The foundations of heaven were trembling.

“Saved From My Enemies”

August 17, 2019

“Saved From My Enemies”

Blessings folk!

David called upon the Lord.
David declared that…
The Lord is my Rock.
The Lord is my Fortress.
The Lord is my Deliverer.
The Lord is my God.
The Lord is my Rock/Refuge.
The Lord is my Shield.
The Lord is my Salvation.
The Lord is my Stronghold.
The Lord is my Savior.
The Lord is my “Saver” from violence.

God delivered.
He saved David from enemies.

2 Sa 22:4
“I call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised,
And I am saved from my enemies.


The Lord is worthy to be praised.

What was David’s situation/problem?

2 Sa 22:5-6
“For the waves of death encompassed me;
The torrents of destruction overwhelmed me;

The cords of Sheol surrounded me;
The snares of death confronted me.

Look at each phrase.
…wave of death encompassed me
…torrents of destruction overwhelmed me
…cords of Sheol surrounded me
…snares of death confronted me

Evil enemies sought to destroy David.
David was confronted and encompassed about by death.
Torrents of “Belial” - worthlessness, destruction, ruin, wickedness - overwhelmed…terrified him.
Cords of Sheol - the nether world - surrounded him.

David was in extreme danger.
He cried to the Lord.
The Lord answered.

The Lord will do the same for those who believe and call upon Him.

Encompassed?
Overwhelmed?
Surrounded?
Confronted?

Fear not.
The Lord thy God is with thee!

Deu 31:6
Be strong and of a good courage,
fear not,
nor be afraid of them:
for the LORD thy God, he it is that doth go with thee;
he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.

2Sa 22:1-3

And David spoke the words of this song to the LORD in the day that the LORD delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul.

He said,
“The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer;

My God, my rock, in whom I take refuge,
My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold and my refuge;
My savior, You save me from violence.

David had been delivered from the hand of his enemies.
David had been delivered from the hand of Saul.

“Hasten Lord, Do Not Delay”

August 15, 2019

“Hasten Lord, Do Not Delay”

Blessings folk!!

We saw yesterday that those who “love Your salvation” are to magnify the Lord continually.

We are to rejoice.
We are to be glad in the Lord.

We saw the context of the complete Psalm, written by David.

Read again…

Psa 70:1-5

For the choir director. A Psalm of David; for a memorial.
O God, hasten to deliver me;
O LORD, hasten to my help!

Let those be ashamed and humiliated
Who seek my life;
Let those be turned back and dishonored
Who delight in my hurt.

Let those be turned back because of their shame
Who say, “Aha, aha!”

Let all who seek You rejoice and be glad in You;
And let those who love Your salvation say continually,
“Let God be magnified.”

But I am afflicted and needy;
Hasten to me, O God!
You are my help and my deliverer;
O LORD, do not delay.


Note the Psalm is a “memorial”.

David was crying to the Lord.
For deliverance.
For help.
Hasten…now…hurry!

Some were seeking his life.
He asked the Lord to bring shame and humiliation upon them.

Some delighted in hurting him…saying “aha, aha”.
He asked the Lord to turn them back, to dishonor them.

David was afflicted.
David was needy.

He declared the Lord to be his help.
He declared the Lord to be his deliverer.

He asked the Lord to hurry…to hasten…to not delay.

Do as David did.

When undergoing such trials, cry unto the Lord.

He is our help.
He is our deliverer.
He will come in His perfect time.

“Seek. Rejoice. Be Glad. Magnify.”

“Seek. Rejoice. Be Glad. Magnify.”

Blessings folk!

The Love of God!
God loves us.
We are to love Him.

Psa 70:4

Let all who seek You rejoice and be glad in You;
And let those who love Your salvation say continually,
“Let God be magnified.”

Seek Him!
Rejoice!
Be glad in Him!
Love His salvation!
Declare “let God be magnified!”

This is a strong verse of encouragement and exhortation.
Of joy.
Of love.

But, check the context of the entire Psalm…

Psa 70:1-5

For the choir director. A Psalm of David; for a memorial.
O God, hasten to deliver me;
O LORD, hasten to my help!

Let those be ashamed and humiliated
Who seek my life;
Let those be turned back and dishonored
Who delight in my hurt.

Let those be turned back because of their shame
Who say, “Aha, aha!”

Let all who seek You rejoice and be glad in You;
And let those who love Your salvation say continually,
“Let God be magnified.”

But I am afflicted and needy;
Hasten to me, O God!
You are my help and my deliverer;
O LORD, do not delay.

Not exactly the “feel” and context we might have expected?

We will continue…

For today…
Seek
Rejoice
Be glad
Love His salvation
Magnify the Lord

“Keep Yourselves in the Love of God”

August 13, 2019

“Keep Yourselves in the Love of God”

Blessings folk!

We - true believers - are to keep ourselves in the love of God.
Unbelievers and fake believers/religionist can not do so.
They have not the love of God.

Jude 1:20-21

But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit,

keep yourselves in the love of God,
waiting anxiously for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to eternal life.

Verse 20 begins with “but”…
It is in reference to worldly minded folk who cause division…those void of the Spirit…”creepers”. Many are found in the organizational church.

We - the Beloved - are to build ourself up…on our most holy faith.
We are to pray in the Holy Spirit.
We are to keep ourselves in the love of God.
We are to wait anxiously…not in fretting, in anticipation…for the mercy of our Lord to eternal life.

Look at the action…
Build - ourselves up
Pray - in the Holy Spirit
Keep - ourselves in the love of God
Wait - for the mercy of the Lord to eternal life

Looks a like a plan to me…especially in dealing with “creepers”…and false believers.

Jude 1:4
For certain persons have crept in unnoticed, those who were long beforehand marked out for this condemnation, ungodly persons who turn the grace of our God into licentiousness and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.

Have mercy on those who are doubting.
Save others from the fire.
Have mercy with fear.

Jude 1:22-23
And have mercy on some, who are doubting;

save others, snatching them out of the fire;
and on some have mercy with fear, hating even the garment polluted by the flesh.

“You Are…”

Blessings folk!

Be reminded of who you are as a true believer.
If you are not a believer…
If you are a false believer… a religionist…
This could be you…

You are an overcomer.

1 Jo 5:4

For whatever is born of God overcomes the world;
and this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.

Our faith in the Lord overcomes the world.
Those that are truly born of God overcome the world.
This is who we are!

You are a partaker of the divine nature.

Now…and not yet.
Much more is yet to come…

2 Pe 1:4

For by these He has granted to us His precious and magnificent promises,
so that by them you may become partakers of the divine nature,
having escaped the corruption that is in the world by lust.

You are a child of God.
We will be like Him.

1 Jo 3:2

Beloved, now we are children of God, and it has not appeared as yet what we will be.
We know that when He appears, we will be like Him, because we will see Him just as He is.

There is much, much more.

Rejoice in this!
If you do not truly believe…today is the day of salvation.
Call upon the Lord.

For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments;
and His commandments are not burdensome.

“Believe That Jesus Is the Christ”

Blessings folk!

It really is amazing how much the Lord loves us.
We see how much in His Word.
We see through creation.
We see in our lives.

1 John reveals much in many ways.

We continue…

1Jo 5:1-2

Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God,
and whoever loves the Father loves the child born of Him.

By this we know that we love the children of God,
when we love God and observe His commandments.

If you believe…really, truly, authentically…that Jesus is the Christ…
Then you are born of God.

If you love the Father…
Then you love will the child born of Him.

How do we know when we have true love of the Father for OneAnother?
When we love God.
When we keep His commandments.

When we love God and keep His commandment we will love OneAnother.

If we do not love OneAnother, then we are not loving God nor keeping His commandments.

“Hate Your…”

August 9, 2019

“Hate Your…”

Blessings folk!

We - true believers - love because God first loved us.

1Jo 4:19
We love because he first loved us.

So, how should we live?
Who should we love?

We love everyone.
Believer.
Unbeliever.

But especially the brother…fellow believer.

One would think that such would be easy, but often it is not.

We do not live in the Love of the Lord.
We live in the desires of our flesh.
We “want what we want”.
We think not of our brother, but of ourselves.

Give heed to the Word of the Lord.

1 Jo 4:20-21

If anyone says, “I love God,” and yet hates his brother or sister, he is a liar.
For the person who does not love his brother or sister whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen.

And we have this command from him:
The one who loves God must also love his brother and sister.

Simple.
Forthright.
If you say “I love God”, yet you hate your brother or sister in the Lord, you are a liar.
You cannot love God.
You have not seen God.

If this is your pattern and practice of behavior, then you are not truly saved.
You are a deceived religionist.
You will have your part in the lake of fire.

Rev 21:8
“But for the cowardly and
unbelieving and
abominable and
murderers and
immoral persons and
sorcerers and
idolaters and
all liars,
their part will be in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone,
which is the second death.”

Examine yourself.
Do not rest on religious activity.
Seek the Lord.
Allow Him to convict and direct.
Confess.
Repent.
Be saved.

Then, love in the Love of the Lord.

“He First Loved Us”

August 8, 2019

“He First Loved Us”

Blessings folk!

We have seen that the Love of God…
  • Is perfected in the true believer
  • Gives us confidence in the day of judgment
  • Casts out fear

Read the next verse…

1 Jo 4:19
We love, because He first loved us.

The love that we have comes from the One Who loved us first.

The Most High God initiated His love…before the foundation of the world.

This is not the love of man.
This is not the love of the flesh.
This is not the love of emotion and desire.

It is the Love of God manifest through His Body - the Church.
It is the Love of God in every true Believer.
Father.
Son.
Spirit.
Living/Loving in and through us.

Rejoice!
Love!
Because He first loved us.

“There Is No Fear In Love”

August 7, 2019

“There Is No Fear In Love”

Blessings folk!

God’s love is perfected in us - in true believers.
Not in unbelievers.
Not in religionists.
Not in false-professors.

1 Jo 4:17
By this, love is perfected with us, so that we may have confidence in the day of judgment; because as He is, so also are we in this world.


We have confidence in the Lord related to the day of judgment.
We do not fear.

Now, read the next verse…

1 Jo 4:18
There is no fear in love;
but perfect love casts out fear,
because fear involves punishment,
and the one who fears is not perfected in love.

There is no fear in the Love of the Lord.
His perfected Love in us casts out fear.
Fear involves punishment.
Believers will not be punished.

But…

The one who fears in not perfected in Love.
They are not truly saved.

This speaks of the day of judgment in the context of the passage.
It also applies to other things.

Far too many who profess to be believers are consumed with fear and anxiety.
Their lives are driven/motivated/consumed by fear of the unknown, fear of the dark (seriously), fear in all its forms.
Such is not of the Lord.

If fear and anxiety exist/rule your life, then turn to the Lord.
Examine yourself to see if you are of the faith…

2 Co 13:5
Test yourselves to see if you are in the faith; examine yourselves!
Or do you not recognize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you—
unless indeed you fail the test?


He will set you free.

Remember what Jesus said…

Mat 6:33-34

“But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.

“So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself.
Each day has enough trouble of its own.

“As He Is, We Are…”

August 6, 2019

“As He Is, We Are…”

Blessings folk!

Let us look closer at the Love of God as revealed in 1 John.
So much here.
So much to learn.
So much to understand.
So much to live.

Read slowly.
Read closely.

1 Jo 4:16-17

We have come to know and have believed the love which God has for us.
God is love, and the one who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.

By this, love is perfected with us, so that we may have confidence in the day of judgment; because as He is, so also are we in this world.

God is love.
The one who abide in love abides in God.
God abides in that one.

Now…the next verse.

It is by this…the abiding of the Love of God in us and our abiding in Him…that love is perfected (completed) within us.

Why is His love perfected/completed within us?

So that we may have confidence in the day of judgment!

Our confidence is not in the flesh.
Our confidence is not in our ability.
Our confidence is the Lord.
He perfects His love in us.

Then, the last phrase…
We have confidence…
Because as He is , so also are we in this world.

Huh?
LOL

God is love.
We are His imagers in this world.
Believers are redeemed imagers that manifest the Love of God in a dark world.
As He is, we are.
Wow…

“We Know…Because He Has Given the Spirit"

August 4, 2019

“We Know…Because He Has Given the Spirit"

Blessings folk!

How do we know that the Love of God is in us?

 1 Jo 4:13-14

By this we know that we abide in Him and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit.

We have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son to be the Savior of the world.


We know that we abide in Him…
We know that He abides in us…
Because He has given us His Spirit.

A true believer has the Spirit of the Lord.

A false professor/believer does not have the Spirit of the Lord.

John had seen and testified that Father has sent the Son to be the Savior of the world.

A true believer will profess this also.

There are many…many!… religious people who think they are in correct relationship with God, yet they are not.

Their “profession” is false.
They have not truly believed.
Oh, they are religious.
They partake of communion.
They have been baptized, either by their volition or someone else’s.
They are “active” in their religious organizations,

Yet, they are not saved.

They have not the Spirit.
They have not fruit of the Spirit.
This makes them visible to those who will see.

“His Love Is Perfected…”

August 3, 2019

“His Love Is Perfected…”

Blessings folk!

God loves us.

What is our response?

We love Him because He first loved us…

1 Jo 4:19
We love, because He first loved us.



We love OneAnother…

1 Jo 4:11-12
Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.

No one has seen God at any time;
if we love one another, God abides in us, and His love is perfected in us.

Loving OneAnother is evidence that God abides in us and we are abiding in Him.

His love is perfected…completed…in us as we love OneAnother.

Allow the Love of the Lord to manifest.

Don’t have the Love?

“He Loved Us - Propitiation For Our Sins”

August 2, 2019

“He Loved Us - Propitiation For Our Sins”

Blessings folk!

The Love of God.
The Lord tells us much about His Love.

We continue…

1 John 4:10
In this is love,
not that we loved God,
but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

As to our relationship with God, it is not that we loved Him first.
We did not initiate.
He did.

How?

In so many ways.
By creating.
By sending His Son.
By being the propitiation for our sins.

“Propitiation”?

According to Zodhiates it means…

"To make reconciliation for the sins of the people," which means to pay the necessary price for the expiation and removal of the sins of the people. This was parallel to that which the high priest did, but it was perfect and a far better sacrifice in that it was permanent and unrestricted.

He became the sacrifice He required…in the wondrous mystery of the Godhead.

Such is the Love of God.
He loved us.
He loves us.
He lives in every true believer.
He removed our sins.
We have the fullness of His love.
It is His love that we manifest.

Eph 3:19
And to know the love of Christ,
which passeth knowledge,
that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.


Do we?

“Love of God Manifested In Us”

August 1 2019

“Love of God Manifested In Us”

Blessings folk!

The Love of God!

Here is the ultimate manifestation of the Love of God…

1 Jo 4:9
By this the love of God was manifested in us,
that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world so that we might live through Him.

Think on this.

The very Love of God Himself was/is manifest in us.

Not only “to” us.
In us.

Why?

To change and transform us.
So that we can image Him as He desires

How did/does God do this?

By sending HIs “only begotten” Son into the world.
His unique Son.
His one-of-a-kind Son.

Why?

So that by faith and belief in what He…Father and Son…has done we might live.

We live through Him.
They…Father, Son, Spirit…live in us.

Amazing.

Act 17:28
for in Him we live and move and exist,
as even some of your own poets have said,
‘For we also are His children.’

The ultimate manifestation of God’s Love.
He in us.
We in Him.
