"Therefore,..Even Though"

"God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble.  Therefore...." (Psalm 46)

There are four "even though's" to follow in the text.  It is a given that if, "God is our refuge and strength," then whatever follows the, "Therefore," is only dependent on Him Being, "our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble."  Yes, "Therefore," there will be trouble, and many "even though[s]," we all have accumulated in our life time.  But the Holy Spirit keeps taking us back to the Subject line, "God is our refuge and strength."

Jesus stood on Planet Earth over 2000 years ago and made, what was to most, outlandish claims.  "I Am................"  Every, "I Am," claim of Jesus Christ reinforces our text today.  "I am the Bread of Life....I Am from Him....I Am He....Before Abraham was, I AM....I am the Light of the world.  He who follows me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life....I am the Door....I am the Good Shepherd....I Am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:  and whosoever liveth and believeth in Me shall never die.  Believest thou this?"!!??

Now, you can have all the, "Therefore," and, "even though," the world and Satan can throw at you.  "Therefore we will not fear," as MLK declared, "any man or anything.  'Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord.'"

Father, in Jesus' Name, You are greater than any, "Therefore," and, "even though," life can threaten.  Amen.

By the way, some have asked about my "YouTube" address.  It is similar to an old football buddy of mine and a little "incognito."  In 1958, the Johnstown High School Trojans won the WPIAL State Championship title.  My number was 23.

Open Eyes, Ears, and Hearts

"Thus the LORD said to me: 'Go...to the Euphrates...." (Jeremiah 13)

The video devotional today is different from this one, but, hey, that's the limitless reach of the, "Words of God."  

Our text was particularly interesting to me today because of all the planning for the upcoming mission to Berlin---- "praying on site with insight."  The Word of God told Jeremiah to go some place, do something, and make an observance.  There is just some praying which cannot be done anywhere but where the Lord Jesus Christ leads.  No, wait; maybe there is nowhere we can pray if we are not "where" Jesus Christ is.

You are there, now.  Look around.  Okay, maybe "just" the house, the kitchen, or, maybe an office cubicle, school, Iphone on the highway (Oh, yea, be very careful about that), wherever.  It is a prayer closet, full of things to see, literally, and in the Holy Spirit.  Open eyes and hearts see and hear, "what the Spirit is saying to the churches"----------------- and to the nations.

Father, in Jesus' Name, give me eyes to see, ears to hear, heart to obey.  Amen.

"Redeemed...From the Curse of the Law"

"Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us for it is written, 'Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree.')," that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Holy Spirit through faith." (Galatians 3:13, 14)

My Bible reading recently had me in Deuteronomy 28.  If you are familiar with that passage, you remember that it is full of blessings and cursings.  A very scary reality is that the promise of blessings only require 14 verses; the curses require 54 verses!  

As I was walking around the neighborhood last evening and listening to the Deuteronomy passage, our text came to mind.  It "surfaced" during the Charismatic Renewal in the 1960's.  But last evening, what a great joy came to me to realize that of all the curses I would be under, because of all my sin, rebellion, etc., "Christ has redeemed [me] from the curse of the law, having become a curse for [me]."  No more, "curse of the law."  

Caution:  Romans 6 tells us, "What shall we say then?  Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound?  Certainly not!  How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it?  Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death?  Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life."

 Father, in Jesus' Name, help me today to come into a greater living of, "Christ has redeemed us from he curse of the law."  Thank You.  Amen.

"Looking unto Jesus"

Hebrews 12:2

"I Will Go About YOUR Altar, O LORD"

"I do not sit with false persons, nor fellowship with pretenders; I hate the company of evildoers and will not sit with the wicked.  I will wash my hands in innocence, and go about Your altar, O LORD, that I may make the voice of thanksgiving heard and may tell of all Your wondrous works." (Psalm 26:4-7, Amplified Bible)

One former Republican Primary Candidate and most so-called "conservative" leaders are revealing themselves to be "conservatives," but are not thinking or acting like people of the Kingdom, "of our Lord and of His Christ," Jesus.  They are politicians.  The last I heard, most conservatives still can't make up there minds as to whom they are going to support for the Republican Party's Presidential Nominee. I read this morning an article which stated that in the Nevada Caucuses last Saturday, Romney won "self-identified conservatives, tea party supporters, evangelical Christians, and all income groups except those making less than $30,000 a year."  There is no candidate whose positions reflect the teachings of Jesus Christ more than Rick Santorum.  Yet even so-called "evangelical christians," are still vacillating on support.  They spend too much time in, "the company of evildoers...and with the wicked," or, as the NKJV says, "have...sat with idolatrous mortals."  Dear reader, I can say with absolute certainty: The GOP, even Fox, has plenty of both.

Anytime I pray for anything or anyone, my prayers are Bible Prayers, which are, "God-Breathed," prayers, not Republican or Democrat or Libertarian or Socialist or Communist or Capitalist or, or.  Now some would say, "Pray your own prayers."  Bible prayers are "my own."  The only, I repeat, only antidote for wrong thinking is, "sound doctrine," which can only be found in the Bible.  The alternative to, "sound doctrine," is unsound doctrine.  I submit that if those who name the Name of Jesus Christ would become a serious Bible student, they would not be fooled, duped, deceived by politicians or anyone else for that matter.  I don't vote "party;" I vote Kingdom.

In our text, King David makes a vow while he is praying.  He realizes that there is only one way to walk in blessing.  "Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful; but his delight is in the law of the LORD, and in His Law he meditates day and night."  Maybe a little less 'Fox," and a lot more, "in His Law."

Father, in Jesus' Name, "Keep Me Near the Cross," because, "In the cross, be my glory ever," in You, Jesus, in You, Holy Spirit, in, "the faith of Jesus," Your "God-Breathed," Words.  Amen.

Hebrews 12:2

Antipas Prayer Force, Weekend Edition

"Behold, He who keeps Israel (and you) shall neither slumber nor sleep.  The LORD is your keeper; the LORD is your shade at your right hand....The LORD shall preserve you from all evil; He shall preserve your soul.  The LORD shall preserve your going out and your coming from this time forth, and even forevermore." (From Psalm 121)

I read the article below last evening and thought, Jesus does things His way-----

marvelous, wondrous ways.  If we take our text, not just as a promise to individuals, but see the reality of this to the Nation of Israel and the Church of Jesus Christ, who in his right mind could argue with the faithfulness of God here?  Israel is still here; the Church is still here------ and so are you, and so am I, and so we will always be, "Because I live, you will live also" (Jesus).  "And thus we shall always be together with the Lord" (Paul).

Father, in Jesus' Name, thank You for Your Word Who goes way, way beyond my very, very limited understanding.  Amen.
