​A PRAYER OF A GOD CHASER
The thoughts of my heart seem to have no means by which to speak O’ Lord. The zeal after thine heart is shut up and cannot come forth. The words of a ready writer are withheald and yet well known. I tell myself it is done. It is enough. I will not speak. I will not utter the thoughts that have been etched upon the tablet of my heart. I said that I would shut my mouth. I will hide myself and be as I was before when I knew you not; when I had no encounter; when I was without understanding. Yet to understand is to comprehend the fact that your love has no end and the beginning cannot be placed and yet we know that you have always been there. Why have you chosen me to pour your love so zealously? How have you stirred up such a gift in me? For what purpose do you pour and stand afar off? My heart’s desire is for you to be glorified. Why O’ Lord is my heart in such a passionate pursuit after the heart of yours that you hide from me? Pieces, pieces, pieces of you…you have given with a desire for more. How can I obtain that which you have designed me to crave? The presence of you…the unity of your spirit…the oneness...I’m driven within to seek the spirit…the very deep things just to be closer. You said at once, if it was simply to behold you and if so then you would withhold. Yet to behold your work is not my heart’s only desire. The ways by which the heart desperately desires to cling to your spirit cannot be uttered in a perfect way. You are the originator of all glory, majesty, and splendor. This life that you have spoken in me is not about seeing, hearing, tasting, touching, or just feeling you only, but the comprehension to fathom our very being in the midst of you...within you…as one. Greater love hath no man than one who laid down his life for a friend and yet I ask why you died for such a one as myself whom you find unworthy to be in your presence? You have created the flesh and then you say that it cannot please you. You have done the creating for your good pleasure. How can so great a love be so hard to grasp? You say that we stand afar off. Are not we your heritage O’ Lord? Make us over O’ Lord. Teach us to do your righteousness. Take these pieces of clay and make a righteous body unto yourself. You are the king of Glory, Reign! Lo, it is written in the volume of the book to do thy will O’ Lord. It is written to love one another as you have loved us. It is written to seek the Lord while he yet may be found. It written of us to love the Lord thy God with al thine heart. The word has a course and it must perform the will of God. It is written for the Lord’ purpose and the word must come forth and be fulfilled.

​It’s Just Time to Believe
It’s just time to believe
I am not slack with my coming. You must believe that I am a healer. You must believe that I am a deliverer. You must believe that I am a waymaker. My works are not the works of old, they are works might even for today. Go forth like you know these things to be true. Many still seek after signs and no signs shall be given. The signs have come and gone. Many did not believe. Believe in me. Believe only and know that I am God and will do just what I said I would do. Remember my promises of old. Remember my prophesies of old. Believe in me when I say I will do it. The more you believe, the more you will see the revelation of my word clearly. See with the eyes of your heart and you will know. It’s just time to believe. My words will not fall to the ground. I am a God of my Word. I will do just what I said I would do. Revisit my Words of old, for they shall surely come to past.

PSALM 12
Help, Lord; for the Godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men.
They speak vanity every one with his neighbor: with flattery lips and a double heart do they speak.
The Lord shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things, who have said, with our tongues we will prevail; our lips are our own: who is Lord over us?
For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith the Lord; I wil set him in safety from him that puffeth at him.
The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
Thou shalt keep them, O Lord, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever. The wicked shall walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted.
Thank God the words of truth that are irrefutable and cannot change. The word transcends time. Thank God for being our lively hope and that He ever liveth to make intercession for us.
King David cries unto God to intercede because it SEEMED that he was surrounded by men that were wicked, unfaithful and that he was outnumbered.
Sometimes our circumstance can SEEM devastating and discouraging to say the very least especially when others around you appear to have a lifestyle that compared to that of a heathen all the while they do what they do and they prosper in their way. They steal the words of the true priests and prophets. They source the virtue of the true disciples that will humble themselves at the feet of God, and all the while it seems like the life of holiness you attempted to lead is nothing in the sight of God. They come with wrong intent and flattering word to get access and to find fault, not to edify, but to devour. It seems like the Lord doesn’t see and it seems like the Lord is tarrying, but He is there. His angels are encamped about and have been given charge over you. For years you can remember that David ran from his mentor, Saul. He was a warrior. Then some time later he also runs from his own son who attempts to overthrow the kingdom. As we endure these end times it is needful to teach sanctification and simply to maintain holiness with the children. The adversary is crafty and the prophetic books of the bible tell us that the adversaries are inventors of wicked things, be aware of the devices of the adversary. The days are becoming like unto Sodom and Gomorrah, yet remember these things are not natural, they are spiritual. The bible states that although Noah, Daniel, and Job petitioned him concerning these people they would be delivered according to their own righteousness. Therefore we must teach the children how to be servants of righteousness beyond the walls of the church and to fear the Lord with their whole heart. They must have their own foundation of faith. They must get their wisdom from on high and not operate according to man’s wisdom. Many are coming as wolves in sheep’s clothing…sometimes not even in sheep’s clothing attempting to manipulate and control the Lord’s saints and their destiny. The Lord says here that they will be cut off. Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be envious of workers of iniquity. Know the voice of the Lord for he speaks pure things, righteous things. He chastens whom he loves, but it IS in love and you recognize it in edification. His words are divine, they build, they glorify, they magnify, they cleanse, they heal. He is a good Sheppard. Therefore, repent and accept him in his fullness of joy. Do not be deceived. All will come to the knowledge of him from the least to the greatest. Supp with the truth while you yet have the chance. Surely, he is coming and his reward is with him.
Isaiah 57:1-2
The righteous perisheth, and no man lay it to heart: and merciful men are taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil to come.
He shall enter into peace: they shall rest in their beds, each one walking in his uprightness.

​PSALM 27:13-14
I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.
Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait I say on the Lord.
Hallelujah! Praise be unto the Most High who sits high, looks low, and swears on Himself! I thank God for life, health, and strength victory over the enemy and over sin. Thank God for being my redeemer and my lively hope. There are times in this spiritual warfare and this journey when you want to give because of the consequences of just attempting to do righteousness. Sometimes you can be so zealous after God’s own heart…you want to know Hima and others to know him…you want to be the vessel used to draw others to Christ. Those things require complete surrender, experience, and endurance. Like Peter, many of us have put our feet out of the boat to walk on water to Jesus not realizing that we are not as strong or faithful as we think we are. The adversary comes to play on our weakness and shortcomings as you well know and attempt to kick you while it seems that you’re down. They want you to give in to the cares of the world and leave the truth behind. Weariness often comes because we look at ourselves too much attempting to justify the accusations of the adversary instead of standing in the Sonship authority. Jesus is our righteousness that’s it, that’s all. There is no debate. He must believer that there is non righteous…none. The adversary is leading many to heap their own teachers and preaching by worldly wisdom instead of standing in the divine power of God in truth. The just shall live by faith. There is no condemnation in Christ. I must admit I have encountered several false brethren and false prophets and witnesses who have attempted to source me for my gifts and talents, and use what they have stole from me to kick me while I’m weak. All the while I still wanted the Lord’s will for them to prosper and be in good health. The purified love of Christ still had me wanting to pray for them and bless them. Love covers a multitude of sins. I sowed the truth and all the while they fed me lies. Therefore, the Lord says be not weary in well doing, for you shall reap if you faint not. Guard your heart. Love the Lord thy God with all your heart and He will strengthen you with the word of truth. He is the truth. When all hell breaks lose and you seem like the trials of Job are encompassing you all you can do is what Jesus has equipped you to do. Put on your whole armor, watch and pray, praise and worship, then stand still and see the salvation of the Lord. I am reminded of an account that comes to mind of the three Hebrew boys stated that if the Lord doesn’t deliver… I still know that He’s God and He’s able. The purified love of Christ casts out all fear. Therefore, whether I lay my bed in Heaven, thou art there, and if I lay my bed in hell even lo, thou art there. Lo thou art with me always even until the end of days O’ Lord I will wait upon you, my strength and my redeemer.
Isaiah 40:28
HAST THOU NOT KNOWN? HAST THOU NOT HEARD, THAT THE EVERLSTING GOD, THE LORD, THE CREATOR OF THE ENDS OF THE EARTH, FAINTETH NOT, NEITHER IS WEARY? THERE IS NO SEARCHING OF HIS UNDERSTANDING.
HE GIVETH POWER TO THE FAINT; AND TO THEM THAT HAVE NO MIGHT HE INCREASETH STRENGTH.
EVEN THE YOUTHS SHALL FAINT AND BE WEARY, AND THE YOUNG MEN SHALL UTTERLY FALL:
BUT THEY THAT WAIT UPON THE LORD SHALL RENEW THEIR STRENGTH; THEY SHALL MOUNT UP WITH WINGS AS EAGLES; THEY SHALL RUN, AND NOT BE WEARY; AND THEY SHALL WALK, AND NOT FAINT.

​PSALM 11
IN THE LORD PUT I MY TRUST: HOW SAY YE TO MY SOUL, FLEE AS A BIRD TO THE MOUNTAINS?
FOR, LO, THE WICKED BEND THEIR BOW, THEY MAKE READY THEIR ARROW UPON THE STRING, THAT THEY MAY PRIVILY SHOOT AT THE UPRIGHT IN HEART.
IF THE FOUNDATIONS BE DESTROYED, WHAT CAN THE RIGHTEOUS DO?
THE LORD IS IN HIS HOLY TEMPLE, THE LORD’S THRONE IS IN HEAVEN: HIS EYES BEHOLD, HIS EYELIDS TRY, THE CHILDREN OF MEN.
THE LORD TRIETH THE RIGHTEOUS: BUT THE WICKED AND HIM THAT LOVETH VIOLENCE HIS SOUL HATETH.
UPON THE WICKED HE SHALL RAIN SNARES, FIRE AND BRIMSTONE, AND AN HORRIBLE TEMPEST: THIS SHALL BE THE PORTION OF THEIR CUP.
FOR THE RIGHTEOUS LORD LOVETH RIGHTEOUSNESS; HIS COUNTENANCE DOTH BEHOLD THE UPRIGHT.
Greetings in the name of our precious Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Peace and mercy be multiplied. I thank God for the victory over the adversary and for victory over sin. I thank Him for new mercies and strength in the inner man. This is the day that Lord has made and I will rejoice and be glad in it. O taste and see that the Lord is good and his mercies endureth forever. Thank God that Jesus sits on the throne and being that there is none greater He has sworn on himself! He is the first and the last. The beginning and the end, a rewarder of them that diligently seek after Him. He is the great I am.  A heart fixer and mind regulator!
When the Lord begins to do a work of deliverance in your life after being oppressed for so long by strongholds, it is not easy to trust anyone. You don’t want them to have access to your life. You don’t want them to have an advantage. When the Lord Jesus allows the trials by fire to begin to purify you; it hurts. It is painful to see the filth and the wretchedness as a spiritual shifting and cleansing begin to take place. You want to guard what’s left of the shaking. However, we must trust our lives completely in the hands of our redeemer. Jesus Christ paid the price with his blood. When you look at how Holy He is and how you have come so short of his glory time and again circumstances make you want to just flee to a mountain as a bird where you can hide yourself in him. However, the Lord says he’s here to shape, make and mold you. He will be a comforter if you allow him to be. He desires to do a work in you. Don’t be so hasty to jump off the potter’s wheel. He liveth to make intercession for us. He will heal your brokenness. He is in his Holy temple, the true tabernacle not made with hands and even reigning in our hearts. He feels our weakness and our infirmities and has placed them on the cross. From him flows our healing. No matter how the wicked bend their bows and shoot their fiery darts of accusations and hypocrisies we must guard our heart. Seek to please the Lord and dwell in his manifest presence…to behold him that died and rose for you. A broken and contrite spirit, he will in no way despise. Yet, the wicked he will recompense with fire and brimstone. Jesus loves you and is a mender of brokenness. Trust him with your heart completely and he will do the work. His ways are not our ways and his thoughts are not our thoughts. Yet, he knows the plans that he has for us, that they are good and not of evil. Hold fast to the truth of His Holy word. Bind it around the tablet of your heart.

​Galatians 1:1-8
PAUL, AN APOSTLE, (NOT OF MEN, NEITHER BY MAN, BUT BY JESUS CHRIST, AND GOD THE FATHER, WHO RAISED HIM FROM THE DEAD;)
AND ALL THE BRETHREN WHICH ARE WITH ME, UNTO THE CHURCHES OF GALATIA.
GRACE BE UNTO YOU AND PEACE FROM GOD THE FATHER, AND FROM OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST.
WHO GAVE HIMSELF FOR OUR SINS, THAT HE MIGHT DELIVER US FROM THIS PRESENT EVIL WORLD ACCORDING TO THE WILL OF GOD AND OUR FATHER.
TO WHIM BE THE GLORY FOREVER AND EVER AMEN
I MARVEL THAT YE ARE SO REMOVED FROM HIM THAT CALLED YOU UNTO THE GRACE OF CHRIST UNTO ANOTHER GOSPEL;
WHICH IS NOT ANOTHER; BUT THERE ARE SOMETHAT TROUBLE YOU AND WOULD PERVERT THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST.
BUT THOUGH WE, OR AN ANGEL FROM HEAVEN, PREACH ANY OTHER GOSPEL UNTO YOU THAN THAT WHICH WE HAVE PREACHED UNTO YOU, LET HIM BE ACCURSED.
Paul introduces himself to the Galatians as an apostle. He mentions this so that the people can know and understand he is not coming in his own authority. He is a pioneer and a foundation layer. The authority is not given to him of man, but by Jesus Christ whom he confirms has quickened him from the dead. Paul at one point persecuted the church, killing several of believers. He even thought he was doing God a service. Yet, in his zeal the Lord encountered him and set him on the path of righteousness. For he had a zeal without knowledge and in his ignorance the Lord gave room to repent and quickened him by his spirit to a place of righteousness.
He writes a letter to the Galatians who have recently be converted and taught the truth of the Lord Jesus Christ. He greets in Jesus’ name to confirm he’s coming to them in peace and love from on high and also re-confirms to the brethren the reason that Jesus came was to give himself for us and to be a deliverer from this world and the evils thereof. He came to do the will of our Father in Heaven. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. It is easy to get distracted and discouraged of the mission of your calling when being surrounded by adversaries who send paratroopers to accuse and contradict your walk in Christ. Remember, we are first partakers of the word the Lord uses us to speak. Here Paul is used by God to state that they were moved so quickly to take down and second guess their call of grace in the gospel. He states the gospel is not another but they are troubled by those who have perverted what we have already known to be the truth. Paul is revealing some spiritual warfare and the way we receive communications. If there be a brethren or a ministering angel that present themselves speaking from Heaven or wherever, if they give a word other than what you have been taught by the Holy Spirit, believe it not and let them be accursed. Meaning, we must put certain things in the hand of the Lord. He says lay aside every weight and sin that so easily besets us and place it at his feet, no other. So not allow these folks to have you second guess what you are called to be or the operations of the Spirit of God in your life. Lo, it is written in the volume of the book to do thy will O Lord. God is not the author of confusion. The adversary is crafty and he’s been a liar from the beginning. Beware of the flattering tongue. Watch and pray. Allow the Lord’s quickening spirit to keep you. Keep your heart after God and know his heart toward you. He loves you. Do not fear the consequence of man. Do not leave your hedge of protection for intimidation and falsehood. Jesus said to love the Lord thy God with all of the heart. Commit your way unto Him and He will direct your path. He is the way, the truth, and the life. He is the good Sheppard. He will NOT lead you on a deceptive path. Trust in the Lord and just do good. I say again, do not allow anyone, principality, power, or ruler to separate you from the love of Christ with lies, deception, and perversion of the truth. God is not mocked. He will handle those that trouble you. #trustyourredeemer #Helives
 
 
 

NOW OF THE THINGS WHICH WE HAVE SPOKEN THIS IS THE SUM: WE HAVE SUCH AN HIGH PRIEST, WHO IS SET ON THE RIGHT HAND OF THE THRONE OF THE MAJESTY IN THE HEAVENS;
A MINISTER OF THE SANCTUARY AND OF THE TRUE TABERNACLE, WHICH THE LORD PITCHED AND NOT MAN. FOR EVERY HIGH PRIEST IS ORDAINED TO OFFER GIFTS AND SACRIFICES. WHEREFORE IT IS OF NECESSITY THAT THIS MAN HAVE SOMEWHAT ALSO TO OFFER.
FOR IF HE WERE ON THE EARTH, HE SHOULD NOT BE A PRIEST, SEEING THAT THERE ARE PRIESTS THAT OFFER GIFTS ACCORDING TO THE LAW:
WHO SERVE UNTO THE EXAMPLE AND SHADOW OF HEAVENLY THINGS, MOSES WAS ADMONISHED OF GOD WHEN HE WAS ABOUT TO MAKE THE TABERNACLE: (FOR, SEE, SAITH HE, THAT THOU MAKE ALL THINGS ACCORDING TO THE PATTERN SHEWED TO YOU IN THE MOUNT.
-WISDOM BUILDS THE HOUSE
-OBEDIENCE BUILDS THE HOUSE
EXODUS 19:5-6
YE HAVE SEEN…
NOW THEREFORE, IF YE WILL OBEY MY VOICE INDEED, AND KEEP MY COVENANT, THEN YE SHALL BE A PECULIAR TREASURE UNTO ME ABOVE ALL PEOPLE: FOR ALL THE EARTH IS MINE.
AND YE SHALL BE INTO ME A KINGDOMOF PRIESTS, AND A HOLY NATION. THESE ARE THE WORDS WHICH THOU SHALT SPEAK UNTO THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL.
The Lord sums up things for us to consider concerning our role in the body as a royal priesthood. We have a high priest that is our assurance that liveth to make intercession for us. He sits on the right hand of God.
There is a spiritual sanctuary of a true tabernacle where the spirit of God lives, and reigns that was made by Gid in Heaven and not man.
For every high priest is appointed to offer gifts and sacrifices. Not some, all. The Lord God being our high priest has been given all things.
Colossians 1:16-17
BY HIM WERE ALL THINGS CREATED, THAT ARE IN HEAVEN, AND THAT ARE IN EARTH, VISIBLE AND INVISIBLE, WHETHER THEY BE THRONES, OR DOMINIONS, OR PRINCIPALITIES OR POWERS: ALL THINGS WERE CREATED BY HIM, AND FOR HIM AND HE IS BEFORE ALL THINGS AND BY HIM ALL THINGS CONSIST.
Therefore, having been head of all that is and even of the worlds to come, surely having been given all things of the father; He has gifts to offer unto God in the true tabernacle. Wherefore it is necessity for him to have something to offer seeing he has been given all things.
 Nevertheless, if he were on earth, he should not be a priest. At least we mist likely wouldn’t recognize him or credit him as such seeing that earthly priests offered gifts according to the law, yet he under grace and compassion.
WHEREFORE WHEN HE COMETH INTO WORLD, HE SAITH, SACRIFICE AND OFFERING THOU WOULDEST NOT, BUT A BODY HAST THOU PREPARED ME.
THE LORD HAS SIMPLY STATED THAT HE DESIRETH A LIVING SACRIFICE, HOLY AND ACCEPTABLE UNTO GOD AND HOLY WHICH IS OUR REASONABLE SERVICE.
He gave himself back to God, His father, His redeemer. He was the heritage of God and we are his inheritance. He is our exceedingly great reward (Gen 15:1)
LO, IT IS WRITTEN IN THE VOLUME OF THE BOOKTO DO THY WILL O LORD.
The Lord God commanded Moses to establish a tabernacle in the earth and to do it after the pattern that was revealed to him in the mount (in the spirit).
The pattern in Heaven established things by wisdom, knowledge, and understanding.
The pattern established was a pattern of holiness. It was not after the laws but by grace and purified love.
We are that tabernacle (temple) built unto God, by His Spirit and not with hand of man.
ACTS 15:15-18
AND TO THIS AGREE THE WORDS OF THE PROPHETS; AS IT IS WRITTEN, AFTER THIS WILL I RETURN, AND BUILD AGAIN THE TABERNACLE OF DAVID, WHICH IS FALLEN DOWN; AND I WILL BUILD AGAIN THE RUINS THEREOF, AND I WILL SET IT UP.
THAT THE RESIDUE OF MEN MIGHT SEEK AFTER THE LORD, AND ALL THE GENTILES, UPON WHOM MY NAME IS CALLED, SAITH THE LORD, WHO DOETH ALL THESE THINGS.
KNOWN UNTO GOD ARE ALL HIS WORKS FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE WORLD.

​

BUT CALL TO REMEMBRANCE THE FORMER DAYS, IN WHICH AFTER YOU WERE ILLUMINATED, YE ENDURED A GREAT FLIGHT OF AFFLICTIONS;
PARTLY, WHILST YE WERE MADE A GAZINGSTOCK BITH BY REPROACHES AND AFFLICTIONS; AND PARTLY, WHILST YE BECAME COMPANIONS OF THEM THAT WERE SO USED.
FOR YE HAD COMPASSION OF ME IN MY BONDS, AND TOOK JOYFULLY THE SPOILING OF YOUR GOODS, KNOWING IN YOURSELVES THAT YE HAVE IN HEAVEN A BETTER AND ENDURING SUBSTANCE.
CAST NOT AWAY THEREFORE YOUR CONFIDENCE WHICH HATH GREAT RECOMPENSE OF REWARD.
FOR YE HAVE NEED OF PATIENCE THAT, AFTER YE HAVE DONE THE WILL OF GOD, YE MIGHT RECEIVE THE PROMISE.
FOR YET A LITTLE WHILE, AND HE THAT SHALL COME WILL COME, AND WILL NOT TARRY.
Greeting in the name of our Lord and Savior, the author and finisher of our faith. Grace and peace be multiplied. It is interesting that the Lord has been consistently stating in many ways that he is delivering and calling a people who will do his will and purpose and who has established a holy pattern after the heavenly things so that we can know and understand his will for his disciples in these end times. First the Lord states remember the days when you were first encountered with the revelation of His Spirit. Most people who initially receive Christ as their Lord and savior do so because of a situation or circumstance bring forth revelation of the need to surrender to your Lord and Savior and to acknowledge that your redeemer lives. When You first got saved there were afflictions, These were to draw you nearer to Christ. They were learning lessons, teaching tools, and to all around confirm His word and to glorify Himself within us. Throughout these times of testing and trials that were to purify us and to place us in readiness to endure hardness as good soldiers we were made an example to others, objects of ridicule and reviling, all the while these afflictions were taking place in the midst of our own companions who are so used to bring for these afflictions. Therefore, the Lord says remember that we have received compassion from him and were compassionate to endure because of his bonds, including the loss of things and earthly goods because of the knowledge and assurance that our heavenly substance is much greater. Zeal after God’s own heart is a powerful thing. In fact, it is testified in the gospels that the zeal of thine house hast eaten me up. That is to say that to have a desire to please the Lord, to do his will and perform his word is what drives our spirit man to passionately pursue and seek with a seemingly unquenchable fire. All the while loosing seemingly all for his name sake, and wanting desperately for the works of faith to be performed; signs, miracles, and wonders. Then it is needful to ask how to tame such a passion as this with the fruitful gifts of the spirit know as self-control. Therefore, we convince ourselves to hold thy seek in the midst of these afflictions for surely you are zealously reaching beyond measure and that substance in you which cannot be contained (though you call it standing in your most holy faith) has been called by those very companions of yours, vanity. Yet the Lord says in all of these things so not allow these contradictions and afflictions to have you cast away the confidence which surely, will bring forth the increase. Allow patience to have a perfect work in you. Wait to see the Lord by His Holy Spirit will do as the prophet Habakkuk has reminded. Stand unshakeable, unmovable in your assurance and in the word of truth. Your savior is not slumbering. He that shall come will come and will not tarry. Stand in the gift of faith and he who began a good work in you will perform it. #WAIT #WATCH #PRAY #PRAISE

PSALM 7
 
O LORD MY GOD, IN THEE DO I PUT MY TRUST: SAVE ME FROM ALL THEM THAT PERSECUTE ME, AND DELIVER ME:
LEST HE TEAR MY SOUL LIKE A LION, RENDING IT IN PIECES, WHILE THERE IS NONE TO DELIVER.
O LORD MY GOD, IF I HAVE DONE THIS; IF THERE BE INIQUITY IN MY HANDS;
IF I HAVE REWARDED EVIL UNTO HIM THAT WAS AT PEACE WITH ME;(YEA, I HAVE DELIVERED HIM THAT WITHOUT CAUSE IS MINE ENEMY:)
LET THE ENEMY PERSECUTME MY SOUL, AND TAKE IT; YEA, LET HIM TREAD DOWN MY LIFE UPON THE EARTH, AND LAY MINE HONOR IN THE DUST.
ARISE O LORD, IN THINE ANGER, LIFT UP THYSELF BECAUSE OF THE RAGE OF MINE ENEMIES: AND AWAKE FOR ME TO THE JUDGMENT THAT THOU HAST COMMANDED.
SO SHALL THE CONGREGATION OF THE PEOPLE COMPASS THEE ABOUT: FOR THEIR SAKES THEREFORE RETURN THOU ON HIGH.
THE LORD SHALL JUDGE THE PEOPLE: JUDGE ME, O LORD, ACCORDING TO MY RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND ACCORDING TO MINE INTEGRITY THAT IS IN ME.
OH LET THE WICKEDNESS OF THE WICKED COME TO AN END; BUT ESTABLISH THE JUST FIR TGE RIGHTEOUS GOD TRIETH THE HEARTS AND REINS.
MY DEFENCE IS OF GOD, WHICH SAVETH THE UPRIGHT IN HEART.
​
The word given by the Spirit of truth is sometimes all we need to get a true praise and then the Lord moves mountains because of our faith that we hold fast to the fact that He is more than able and in fact He is willing to do it. So we stand down as the weaker vessel and allow for the Lord Jesus to give the increase.

​Habakkuk 1:1-5
 
The burden which Habakkuk the prophet did see. O Lord, How long shall I cry, and thou wilt not hear! Even cry out unto thee of violence, and thou wilt not save! Why dost thou shew iniquity, and cause me to behold grievance? for spoiling and violence are before me: and there are that raise up strife and contention. Therefore the law is slacked, and judgment doth never go forth: for the wicked doth compass about the righteous; therefore wrong judgment proceedeth. Behold ye among the heathen, and regard, and wonder marvellously: for I will work a work in your days, which ye will not believe, though it be told you.
 
The prophet Habakkuk cries out to the Lord while also being used to confirm the words of Jeremiah the prophet as well. The prophet is among a people who the Lord will soon deliver to judgment. They will go into captivity. However, there is still a remnant of those who have not given to abomination and idolatry. There is corruption everywhere amongst the children of God. There are workers of iniquity that seem to prosper in their way and the prophet crying out on behalf of the righteous. It seems that the longsuffering of the Lord is taken for slackness and as if the Lord is not attentive to what's going on but he does see. He hears. He knows all things concerning His chosen. Sometimes the Lord's mercy can be taken for slack because He is abundant in mercy and tender loving kindness. There are times we are “crushed” in spirit, but the Lord says that a broken and contrite spirit He will in no ways cast away.
 
The prophet Habakkuk gets on his knees and begins to cry to the Lord in prayer concerning the injustice that he sees among the children of God. His heart's cry was one that provokes the Lord to speak through him prophetically. He said “Behold” you among the heathen. The Lord is saying “Look” you who are the midst of the unbeliever. Pay attention I will do a work that is going to be marvelous. These people wouldn't believe it even if it were told them. I have something prepared for the wicked, sayeth the Lord. The Lord shares with the prophet that He is raising up an enemy and this enemy will not take pity. They are terrible and dreadful. These wonders that will be performed cannot be fathomed. Even if the Lord could explain they are so full of unbelief they couldn't comprehend such revelation without experiencing for themselves. The Lord will use this enemy to devastate them in such a way the Lord doesn't put it into words.
 
12
Art thou not from everlasting, O Lord my God, mine Holy One? We shall not die. O Lord, thou hast ordained them for judgment; and, O mighty God, thou hast established them for correction.
 
The Lord confirms that some folks are set in place for the sake of judgment. There are tares that grow in the midst of the wheat. However, there will be an appointed time when the reapers will do the separation and the just shall be severed from the wicked.
 
Jude 4
 
For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus.
 
We cannot fret ourselves because of evildoers or be envious of those who seem to prosper in their way. They shall be cut down as the grass and become no more. Some think that the Lord worked signs, miracles, and wonders only in the form of healings or to cure someone of disease. However, He works signs for the edification of the spiritual part of us. Sometimes that involves building and establishing a reverent fear of the living God. When the Lord allowed pharaoh to come against the children in Egypt He was able to show His strength and might as a deliverer. When the Amelekites came against the children of Israel the Lord commanded Moses to hold up his hands until they were defeated. When he put his hands down they would gain ground. This gesture of obedience was symbol of praise. When we praise the Lord through circumstance and in the midst of our afflictions we overcome. When we let our hands down our enemies can gain ground. The Lord said that He will do a work among the heathen and they will wonder marvellously. His wonders will be unbelievable. Nonetheless, He will make it clear that He is King of Kings and Lord of Lords. There is no other besides Him. He is the righteous judge, though, with our natural eye it seems that truth and justice tarry long.
