PSALM 30            MY TEARS HAVE BEEN MY SORROWFUL MEAT
I WILL EXTOL THEE, O LORD; FOR THOU HAST LIFTED ME UP, AND HAST NOT MADE MY FOES TO REJOICE OVER ME.
O LORD MY GOD, I CRIED UNTO THEE, AND THOU HAST HEARD ME.
O LORD, THOU HAST BROUGHT MY SOUL FROM THE GRAVE: THOU HAST KEPT ME ALIVE, THAT I SHOULD NOT GO DOWN TO THE PIT.
SING UNTO THE LORD, O YE SAINTS OF HIS, AND GIVE THANKS AT THE REMEMBRANCE OF HIS HOLINESS.
FOR HIS ANGER ENDURETH BUT A MOMENT, IN HIS FAVOR IS LIFE; WEEPING MAY ENDURE FOR A NIGHT, BUT JOY COMETH IN THE MORNING.
PSALM 126:
THEY THAT SOW IN TEARS SHALL REAP IN JOY.
HE THAT GOETH FORTH AND WEEPING, BEARING PRECIOUS SEED, SHALL DOUBTLESS COME AGAIN WITH REJOICING, BRINGING HIS SHEAVES WITH HIM.
O thanks be to God for his holy word of encouragement! I have heard so many times, let the weak say they are strong and don’t let anyone see your tears.
However, King David cried unto God in rejoicing because the Lord protected him and would not allow his adversaries to triumph  or gain an advantage although there were many liers in wait. My heart was broken. I was distraught and I cried out unto the Lord and he healed me and delivered me from all my fears, In him have I put my trust, though my adversaries sought for my life and kick me while I was down, the Lord Jesus delivered me from the pit. My Father was angered and some of my decisions and transgressions, but he favored me with life. He remembered his promises towards his daughters and stretched out his hand of mercy toward me. He restored my soul. He healed my brokenness. The poor man cried and the Lord answered him. By His Spirit all things are possible and I will not be moved.

John 6:44 & 6:63
No man can come to me except the Father which hath sent me draw him, and I will raise him up at the last day.
It is written in the prophets, and they shall all be taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me.
It is the Spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
But there are some of you that believe nit. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they are that believeth not, and who should betray him.
And he said, therefore I said unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father.
Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Grace, peace, and love be multiplied. I would like to testify of an encounter that I had once with a fellow disciple in Christ. I had re-dedicated my life to Jesus for the thousandth time and this person that I was working with seemed to have it all together outwardly. They weren’t proclaiming the gospel or claiming to be Christian, they hadn’t invited me to church. There was just a drawing to approach them and talk to them. The had a mystery about themselves and they were different. When I approached them with a biblical question about if they went to church or not, they began to make known that they had a call on their life, but they laid it down. They said they couldn’t take it anymore the things which they saw in the church. They had seen too much hypocrisy. They have seen too much sin. They knew too much about what was going on in the lives of others around them. Therefore, because of the knowledge and revelation, and mysteries revealed of other church goers, they decided to walk away from it all. After hearing such things, I was somewhat puzzled. I knew we all had gifts and talents and the Lord used people so mightily. I would just stand on the sidelines often intimidated by the move of the Spirit of God. I was in awe if His glory. However, I never looked so closely at the life of someone else as to find fault or to find a reason to search for sin. Seek the Kingsdom of God and all of its righteousness is what the word had instructed. Although I really wasn’t that seasoned in the Lord has Spirit imparted that much. It seemed like with each encounter with someone the Lord within me would search the heart and when he found (Himself) his purified love there, He permitted His Spirit to pour what was lacking in the faith. That was how he had moved in me.So, when I encountered this person who ran because of other people, it didn’t make sense to me spiritually of naturally. Then some time passed and the Lord had shaped me somewhat and I had grown leaps and bounds in ministry. The Lord draws us by His Spirit and even as he is drawing us, he is drawing others around us just as well. He said, if He be lifted up, He would draw all men. Not some, He said he would draw all men unto himself. When the Holy Spirit began to teach the very deep things and the simple just as well, stated He is the bread of life. Eat of Him and live. He is referring to the word of truth. He said, you simply believ then you will never die. If you believe, you will never hunger or thirst. All that the Father gifve to me shall come to me and in no wise will he cast away. When he began to address the unbelief many began to turn away when he told them to eat his bread, eat the whole loaf. Believe and you shall have eternal life. If my Father sent you it is to receive his Holy Spirit. If my Father sent you, it is to have life and have it more abundantly. If my Father sent you, it is so that you would be healed. If he drew you, it is to come out of darkness into the marvelous light. Hold fast to the truth no matter the circumstance or the situation. His Spirit does the drawing. We must eat the whole scroll. Stay the course and finish the race. Do not let anyone else make your choice for you. His sheep hear his voice. He is the good shepherd.  He is gentle. He is patient. He is kind. He has tender mercies. He loves you. He is a helper that we may boldly say I will not fear what man shall do unto me. He is the way. I will follow after him. #followhim #dohiswill #watch #pray #ask #seek #knock

​II Corinthians 2:14
Now thanks be to God which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place.
For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish.
To the one we are the savour of death unto death; and to the other the savour of life unto life.
And who is sufficient for these things?
For we are not as many, which corrupt the Word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God in the sight of God speak we in Christ.
The Lord is giving a friendly reminder that the spirits are subject to His Holy Spirit. We set the standard for peoples’ lives just as Jesus Christ has also come and set the standard for us. He has had us to walk by the Spirit so that we do that which pleases our Father in Heaven as he has. Therefore, knowing God we manifest his love everywhere we go. He has always caused us to triumph and because of such victory in Him many will flow to the holy mountains and cry, “what must I do to be saved?” In the presence of those that are saved we are a savory confirmation of the Lord’s Holy word that in him his promises are yea and amen, but to the one’s who walk in unbelief there is the taste of death unto death.
Ezekiel 2:7
And thou shalt speak my words unto them, whether they will hear or whether they will forbear: for they are most rebellious.
But thou, Son of man, hear what I say unto thee; Be thou not rebellious like that rebellious house.
Open thy mouth; and eat the that I give thee;
And when I looked, behold a hand was sent unto me, and lo, a roll of a book therein;
And he spread it before me and it was written within and without: and there was written therein lamentations, and mourning, and woe.
We must eat the whole loaf because some won’t . It tastes sweet as honey going iinto the mouth but when we start to walk by the spirit  and live by the spirit we start to activate the scroll which is the word. Some can’t stomach it. Some can’t process it. The wages of sin is death, the gift of God is eternal life thorugh Jesus Christ. Therefore, to some te savour of death is unto death to them that perish. We have a choice to accept the gift of God or reject the Gift. Taste and see that the Lord is good and his mercies endure forever. Blessed is the man that trusteth in him. Let us take hold of this precious gift  and run the race that has been set before us..for it is not given to the swift or to the strong but to those that endure to the end. We will finish the course. We will eat the whole loaf in sincerity and in truth. Therefore, know that you are my letter written with the purified love of Christ until we come into the perfect unity of holiness in fullness stature as one body in Christ Jesus. #DON'T GIVEUP #CALLUPONHISNAME #JESUS #WATCH #PRAY

​ ZECHARIAH 1:1-5
THE GOD WHO REMEMBERS
In the eighth month, in the second year of Darius, cam ethe word of the Lord unto Zechariah, the son Berechiah, the son of Iddo the prophet, saying,
The Lord hath been sore displeased with your fathers.
Therefore, say unto them, thus saith the Lord of hosts; turn ye unto me, saith the Lord of hosts, and I will turn unto you, saith the Lord of hosts.
Be ye not as your fathers, unto whom the former prophets have cried, saying, thus saith the Lord of hosts, turn ye now from your evil ways, and from your evil doings: but they did not hear, ot hearken unto me, saith the Lord.
Your fathers, where are they? And the prophets, do they live forever?
The children of Israel had already been led into captivity. King Cyrus of Persia made a decree releasing the children to return and begin to rebuild. Darius, the great, begins reigning and the Lord moves his Holy prophet Zechariah to speak pleading with the remnant to repent. He mentions their fathers were not pleasing in his sight. Although they are a chosen people, He is not pleased with the standard of righteousness that has been set. The Lord commands that the hearts of the people return unto him. Draw near unto me and I will draw near unto you, he has said. Do not do those things that the prophets of old have cried against. Harden not your heart, but hear what the spirit of truth has to say. Your forefathers did not prosper in their way. Where are they? The prophets will not be there perpetually and continually speaking the same thing; judgment will come forth.
6-10
But my words and my statutes, which I commanded my servants the prophets, did they not take hold of your fathers? And they returned and said, like as the Lord of hosts thought to do unto us; according to our ways, and according to our doings, so hath he dealt with us.
Upon the four and twentieth day of the eleventh month which is the month Sebat, in the second year of Darius came the word of the Lord unto Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo the prophet, saying,
I saw by night, and behold a man riding upon a red horse, and he stood among the myrtle trees that were in the bottom; and behind him were there red horses, speckled, and white.
Then said I, O my Lord, what are these? And the angel that talked with me said unto me, I will shew thee what these be.
And the man that stood among the myrtle trees answered and said, these are they whom the Lord hath sent to walk to and fro through the earth.
The Lord God remembers is the meaning the name Zechariah. Although he was a holy prophet, he is also from a household of priests in a day when the Lord God started bringing restoration to a people who had been in captivity. Although many of the Israelites had been exiled, not all of them were unrighteous in the sight of God. Remember the rain falls upon the just as well as the unjust. He remembers their need for his love. He remembers their need for his righteousness. He remembers their need for his salvation. He remembers the need for his instruction. He remembers a people who are his inheritance, a chosen priesthood. He remembers a people sanctified unto himself who he hath set his seal unto the day of redemption. The Lord gives a vision to the prophet who sees a man upon a red horse and then he sees him standing among the myrtle trees. The man is an angel and the color red is symbolic of the blood of the lamb and the love of Christ toward his chosen. He sees angels whom the Lord God has given charge in the earth to go forth as watchers. The eyes of the Lord are everywhere beholding the good and as well as the evil. He has instructed through his prophets to warn the people to repent and draw near and the angels are giving report to the Lord that the heathen are at ease. The Lord answered the angels concerning this with words of comfort. The Lord says He is jealous for our sake. He is remembering our enemies and the tares that have been sown in the midst to partake of our peace and prosperity. I will perform my jealousy against the heathen, the Lord has said and he will return with the sure mercies toward Jerusalem.

 1 John 1:1-4
That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon and our hands have handled, of the word of life, (For the life was manifested amd we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that hath eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;)
That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his son Jesus Christ.
And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.
I have seen Him take a life that meant nothing to my parents and make purpose with what seemed to have no purpose. I have seen Him take an empty and broken vessel, fill it with His Holy Ghost and put a work back on the potter’s wheel to make it over again. Then He said, I’ve designed you to be unshakeable, unmoveable, and to abound in my purified love. The flesh was laid down an dth eHoly Ghost caused me to rise above circumstance. This deliverance was for fellowship with the saints as well as with our Father in Heaven. I heard Him say, finish this time. Don’t give up. Pas the test this time. I heard him say overcome, stay the course. I’m with you, praise your way thorugh it this time. Overcome the pain. You’ve been equipped for this circumstance. We desire that the impartation be in the fullness of his joy.

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.

​PSALM 55:12
FOR IT WAS NOT AN ENEMY THAT REPROACHED ME; THEN I COULD HAVE BOURNE IT. NEITHER WAS IT HE THAT HATED ME THAT DID MAGNIFY HIMSELF AGAINST ME; THEN I WOULD HAVE HID MYSELF FROM HIM:
BUT IT WAS THOU, A MAN MINE EQUAL, MY GUIDE, AND MINE ACQUAINTANCE.
WE TOOK SWEET COUNSEL TOGETHER, AND WALKED WITH UNTO THE HOUSE OF GOD IN COMPANY.
Grace and peace be multiplied in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. It is needful to give a word of encouragement in times such as these when the adversary is presenting himself like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour and attempting to weary the saints of the Most High. These are the days that we must be diligently watchful and pray.
Seek after the spirit of God and allow the truth to reign in our lives. As the Lord spoke with his Holy prophet Jeremiah, he warned not to worry about the faces, meaning the outward appearance. Beware of the flattering tongue. These people speak great swelling words but their hearts have another intent. They have deceiving spirits. Therefore, turn your hearts towards the Lord Jesus completely with a true surrender. Folks come and go wanting to learn how you work and to obtain knowledge only to do their exploits. King David cried to the Lord stating it wasn’t his enemy that reproached him. These are people who have heard your testimony. These are people who have fasted and prayed with you. These have prophesied by the Holy Ghost. These are those that have caused us hurt and pain because we have loved them with the love of Jesus Christ. We have counseled them. Yet, they take advantage of the privilege of being called and chosen. Do not take the abuse as a sign that Jesus does not love you or that you have come short of the glory of God. The word is alive and mustn’t return void. Therefore, arise and elevate above these circumstances and situations. Arise above these ones that have a form of godliness denying the power of God. Elevate above those ever learning never coming to the knowledge of the truth. Leave all those behind with the sorceries that have shown they have no intent to grow in the grace of God. Seeds planted…seeds fall where they may. Do not give in the slaughter and the cares of this world. Guard your heart and lean not to your own understanding. Jesus Christ loves his chosen. He cares for you. He adores you. You are the apple of his eye. Stay surrendered. Do not doubt. Do not fear. Do not waver. Do not compromise for the adversary or for sin. Remember, to whom much is given, much is required. Wait on the Lord and be of good courage.
GOD SHALL HEAR, AND AFFLICT THEM, EVEN HE THAT ABIDETH OF OLD. SELAH.
BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO CHANGES, THEREFORE THEY FEAR NOT GOD.
 

​EXODUS 3:1-7
Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro, his Father-in-law, the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the backside to the mountain of God, even to Horeb.
And the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush and he looked and behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.
And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burned,
And when the Lord saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here I am.
And he said, draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.
Moses is standing in the position of an under shepperd. He has been keeping the flock of his father-in-law who is a priest. Moses who had been given up to be raised in the house of Pharoah, having taken justice into his own hands at one point, has fled in the wilderness and submitted himself under the priest of Midian. He begins leafing the flock to the backside of the desert, out of sight. There he led them to a place where they weren’t customed to going. It ws uncharted territory. This place is hidden, it is isolated. The meaning of the name Horeb is defined as a waste. Yet, the Lord calls this place the mountain of God. We can find ourselves “down in the dumps”. We can go day to day doing a job and work and wind up in a dirty, waste place. You are called, you are chosen, you are gifted, you are operating in the midst of the priesthood and come to a desert place. Yet, spiritually it is the residence and high place established unto God. Moses got to this appointed place. And there he was met by the angel of the Lord. The angel didn’t appear as a man, but he appeared as a flame of fire, yet instead of running for cover; He begins to  look with wonder how is this bush burning. But it is not consumed…we’ve got to see how Jesus have from us from wasted places to the place of his throne. Consider, look and turn your heart toward Jesus. Consider how we are not consumed by our present circumstance. It’s not because of anything we’ve done but because o f his grace and mercy that we are not consumed. Consider how he brings us to a mountain of his beauty and majesty and splendor. When the Lord saw Moses had turned to see what the spirit was willing to do on our behalf …the first thing we want to do when we see miracles, signs, and wonders is draw a little closer…I must behold this thing…When we behold the beauty of the Lord and begin to inquire in his temple…we want more. The Lord begins to call Moses, twice for spiritual and natural and Moses answered him. The Lord said, draw not near yet. Take off your shoes form your feet to signify the authority. Come out of your own authority and submit yourself unto my holiness. I’m placing you in holiness. The Lord God then introduces himself  and said that he had come down from his throne because of the cries of his afflicted people. He wanted to partner with Moses in the spirit of deliverance…
