Series 2_#16

 

January 16, 2004

The voice of praise shall not cease because many do not love in their times of trouble and misunderstanding. God has a people who will praise him at all times and whose praises shall continually be in their mouths. I choose to be a part of those who have understanding and not with those who abide in ignorance and pride. The pride of the foolish shall bring them to shame and destruction, but the thankful and the wise shall abide in the courts of life with adornments of victory. I choose to abide with the victorious people of faith, for the Lord's household shall rally in the face of defeat and impossibility. The household of faith is precious in his sight; therefore, I do good unto them as I have the opportunity. I cast my bread upon the waters of their lives, and I do not fear criticism and rejection. I have been wounded in the past because of the ignorance of men; however, I will not allow past hurts to become walls and barriers that prevent me from sharing the good word of faith that I bear. God has chosen this hour to present many things unto those hungry for righteousness. I determine to allow the word of life and the word of God’s grace to flow unto the mouths of those who are opening their hearts unto his expression in this hour. I will not allow misunderstanding or presumptuousness to be my guide, neither will I allow them to monitor my thoughts for the evidence of direction. The Lord has not sent these enemies to instruct me in any way, for he is understanding and victory.

 

 

Hebrews 10:22 - 23

Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)

 

Ephesians 2:8-9

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.
