Gods Angels

God's angels protect you without you even realizing.

[Billy Graham]

Luke 4:10 ...  For it is written, He shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee:

Psalm 34:7 ... The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.

Daniel 6:22 ...  My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions' mouths, that they have not hurt me: forasmuch as before him innocency was found in me; and also before thee, O king, have I done no hurt.

Matthew 18:10 ... Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven. ❤

"That's My King" by Dr. S.M. Lockridge

Take a moment and listen ...

 

Amen.

Psalm 74:12 ... For God is my King of old, working salvation in the midst of the earth.

The Yoke of The Pharisees

Jesus tells all who are weary and burdened to come to Him for rest. He isn’t speaking of physical burdens. Rather, it was the heavy burden of the system of works that the Pharisees laid on the backs of the people that Jesus was offering to relieve. Jesus rebukes the Pharisees for laying heavy burdens on the shoulders of the people. (Matthew 23:4) 

Jesus was saying that any kind of law-keeping is burdensome and amounts to a “heavy yoke” of oppression because no amount of law-keeping can bridge the gap between our sinfulness and God’s holiness. God says through the mouth of the prophet Isaiah that all of our righteous deeds are like a “polluted garment,” (Isaiah 64:6) and Paul reiterated to the Romans that “no one will be declared righteous in his sight by observing the law.” (Romans 3:20) 

The good news is that Jesus promises to all who come to Him that He will give them rest from the heavy burden of trying to earn their way into heaven and rest from the oppressive yoke of self-righteousness and legalism. 

Jesus encourages those who are “heavy laden” to take His yoke upon them, and in so doing they will find rest for their souls. The yoke of Jesus is light and easy to carry because it is the yoke of repentance and faith followed by a singular commitment to follow Him. What makes Jesus’ yoke easy, and His burden light is that in Jesus’ own active obedience His perfect fulfillment of the Law of God, He carried the burden that we were meant to carry. His perfect obedience is applied (imputed) to us through faith, just as His righteousness was exchanged for our sin at the cross, (2 Corinthians 5:21) 

Our obedience to Jesus then becomes our “spiritual worship.” (Romans 12:1) Furthermore, we are indwelt by the Holy Spirit who works in our lives to mold us into the image of Christ, thereby making the yoke of Jesus easy and His burden light. The life lived by faith is a much lighter yoke and a much easier burden to carry than the heavy and burdensome yoke of self-righteousness under which some continually strive to make themselves acceptable to God through works. 

[GotQuestions]

  

Matthew 11:28-30 ... Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.  Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.  For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing

Jesus sought me when a stranger, 

Wandering from the fold of God; 

He, to rescue me from danger, 

Interposed His precious blood! 

 O to grace how great a debtor, 

Daily I'm constrained to be! 

Let Thy goodness, like a fetter, 

Bind my wandering heart to Thee! 

 Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it, 

Prone to leave the God I love; 

Here's my heart, O take and seal it, 

Seal it for Thy courts above! 

 O that day when freed from sinning, 

I shall see Thy lovely face; 

Clothed then in blood-washed linen 

How I'll sing Thy sovereign grace! 

 [Robert Robinson]

Isaiah 53:6 ...  All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. ❤

The Lion and The Lamb.

He's coming on the clouds, Kings and kingdoms will bow down. And every chain will break, as broken hearts declare His praise. Who can stop the Lord Almighty?

Our God is the Lion, the Lion of Judah. He's roaring with power and fighting our battles. And every knee will bow before You. Our God is the Lamb, the Lamb that was slain for the sin of the world. His blood breaks the chains, and every knee will bow before the Lion and the Lamb.

Oh, every knee will bow before the Lion and the Lamb. So, open up the gates. Make way before the King of kings. Our God who calls to save is here to set the captives free. Who can stop the Lord Almighty?

Our God is the Lion, the Lion of Judah He's roaring with power and fighting our battles. And every knee will bow before You. Our God is the Lamb, the Lamb that was slain For the sin of the world His blood breaks the chains. And every knee will bow before the Lion and the Lamb. Oh, every knee will bow before the Lion and the Lamb.

Who can stop the Lord Almighty? Who can stop the Lord Almighty? Who can stop the Lord Almighty.  Oh, who can stop the Lord Almighty? 

Our God is the Lion, the Lion of Judah. He's roaring with power and fighting our battles. And every knee will bow before You. Our God is the Lamb, the Lamb that was slain For the sin of the world. His blood breaks the chains And every knee will bow before the Lion and the Lamb. Oh every knee will bow before the Lion and the Lamb.

The True Meaning of Christmas

On December 9, 1965 CBS debuted a Charlie Brown Christmas by Charles M. Schulz.

Charlie Brown: I guess I really don't know what Christmas is all about.  Isn't there anyone who knows what Christmas is all about?

Linus: Sure, Charlie Brown. I can tell you what Christmas is all about. Lights please ...

 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.

And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.

And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.

For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.

And this shall be a sign unto you;  (Luke 2:8-14)

Linus: That's what Christmas is all about, Charlie Brown.

Yes, Jesus loves me.Yes, Jesus loves me.Yes, Jesus loves me.For the Bible tells me so.

John 3:16 ...  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. ❤

I Love To tell The Story

I love to tell the story Of unseen things above, 

Of Jesus and His glory, Of Jesus and His love; 

I love to tell the story Because I know ’tis true; 

It satisfies my longings As nothing else can do. 

I love to tell the story! 

‘Twill be my theme in glory To tell the old, 

old story Of Jesus and His love.

WE, The People...

What you are currently seeing unfold is biblical. We, the People, are dismantling a debased, global establishment rooted in corruption. Sustained by media fraud, deception and propaganda. No more. You are witnessing a changing of the guard. Patriots are in control.

We, the People, are making the world a better place. We, the People, are defending what we know is right and true. No one person or race is above another. No more senseless wars. We, the People, are restoring the Constitution. We the People, are defending the greatest nation ever to exist on this earth. Peace and Love are the answer. God bless the United States of America and God bless Donald Trump.

Psalm 33:12 ... Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.❤

He Reigns

Nothing under God's control is ever out of control.

 

Psalm 103:19 ... The Lord hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all. ❤

I Come To The Garden Alone

I come to the garden alone,

While the dew is still on the roses;

And the voice I hear, falling on my ear,

The Son of God discloses.

And He walks with me, and He talks with me,

And He tells me I am His own,

And the joy we share as we tarry there,

None other has ever known.

He speaks, and the sound of His voice

Is so sweet the birds hush their singing;

And the melody that He gave to me

Within my heart is ringing.

I'd stay in the garden with Him

Tho' the night around me be falling;

But He bids me go; thro' the voice of woe,

His voice to me is calling.

[C. Austin Miles]

Proprietorship

What a sweet title, "My people!" What a cheering revelation, "Their God!"  How much of meaning is couched in those two words, "My people!"  Here is specialty. The whole world is God' heaven, even the heaven of heavens is the Lord's, and He reigns among the children of men. But of those whom He has chosen, whom He has purchased to Himself, He calls them especially, "My people".

In this word there is the idea of proprietorship. In a special manner the "Lord's portion is His people." All the nations upon earth are His, and the whole world is in His power yet His people, His chosen people, are more especially His possession, for He has done more for them than others; He has bought them with His precious blood; He has set His great heart upon them; He has adopted them into His redeemed family; He has loved them with an everlasting love, a love which many waters cannot quench, and which the revolutions of time shall never suffice in the least degree to diminish.

Dear friends, can you, by faith, see yourselves in that number? Can you look up to heaven and say, "My Lord and my God mine by that sweet relationship which entitles me to call You Father mine by that hallowed fellowship which I delight to hold with You when You are pleased to manifest Yourself unto me as You do not unto the world?"

Can you read the Book of Inspiration, and find there the evidences of your salvation?  Can you read your title written in His precious blood?  Can you, by humble faith, lay hold of Jesus' garments, and say, "My Christ"?

If you can, then God says of you, and of others like you, "My people!" for, if God is your God, and Christ is your Christ, the Lord has shown special, particular grace to you then you are the object of His choice, accepted in His beloved Son!

[Charles H. Spurgeon]

Among The Wonders

The first wonder is that we shall see so many there, whom we did not expect to see.   The second is that we shall miss so many there, whom we did expect to see.  But the third wonder will be the greatest wonder of all to see ourselves there!

And can it be, that I should gain, an interest in the Savior's blood?  Died He for me, who caused His pain? For me, who Him to death pursued?

~ Amazing love! how can it be, That Thou, my God, should die for me?  Amazing love! how can it be, That Thou, my God, should die for me?

Tis mercy all, immense and free For O my God, it found out me! Amazing love! How can it be, That Thou, my God, should die for me? ~

At the Feet of Jesus

As we know Martha wherever we see her by her diligent, eager serving; so we know Mary by her posture at the feet of Jesus. Only three times she is seen in the Gospel story and each time she is at her usual place.  First, we find her sitting at Christ's feet as a learner, eagerly listening to His words. "She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet, and listened to His teaching." (Luke 10:39) At the feet of Jesus is the place of discipleship, where one learns the lessons the Master has to teach, where one's soul receives the blessings He has to give.

Every believer should learn the lesson that there can be no beautiful Christian character for him, no sweet influence pouring out from his life, no blessed ministry giving comfort and joy to others unless he first sits at Christ's feet as a learner. He must receive before he can give. This is a vital principle in Christian life. We can give out to others only what God has first given to us.

You see a beautiful rose bathed in the summer sunshine and pouring forth its sweetness. "I would have my life like the rose!" you say. Yes, but where did the rose get its loveliness and its fragrance? Down out of the sky, did it not? It looked up and opened its heart and the sun poured his warm beams into the flower's bosom. Out of the air at night came the gentle dew and crept into the flower's folds, and the beauty burst out and the sweetness flowed forth.

Would you have your life like the rose? You must commune with Christ. Your heart must receive the warmth of His love. You must take His words into your soul. He must fill you with His own blessed life. All you can bring to Christ is your own emptiness, the emptiness of penitence, of humility, of a thirsty soul.

A poet speaks of Mary's eyes as "homes of silent prayer." Her eyes of prayer told of a great heart-hunger. She did not talk in Christ's presence. She had nothing to say. She wanted Him to speak to her. And any word He spoke went down deep into her heart and became a blessing there, pouring its sweet influence through all her life.

Here we get the first lesson from Mary. You must sit at Christ's feet as a learner, as a receiver. Let Him teach you. Let Him pour His own life and love into your heart.

The first thing is, not what you shall do for Christ but what Christ shall do for you; not what you shall give to Him but what you shall receive from Him. Keep all the windows of your soul open toward Him, that the light from His face may shine into the very depths of your being. Take His words into your heart and ponder them with love and prayer until they fill you with their own life and spirit.

Says Henry Drummond: "Ten minutes spent in Christ's presence every day, yes, two minutes, if it is face to face and heart to heart will make all things different. Throughout the whole day, your actions, down to the last detail, will do homage to that early vision."

[J.R. Miller]

Clarity

Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger held disturbing views on eugenics and population control. Her legacy birthed America's biggest abortion chain, which commits over 320,000 abortions every year.

Clarity is good.   Especially when killing innocent babies in the womb is supported by most Liberal Democrats.

Habakkuk 2:2 ... And the Lord answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.❤

In Evil Long, I Took Delight

In evil long I took delight,

Unawed by shame or fear,

Till a new Object struck my sight,

And stopped my wild career!

I saw One hanging on a tree,

In agony and blood,

Who fixed His languid eyes on me,

As near His cross I stood.

Surely, never to my dying breath,

Can I forget that look;

It seemed to charge me with His death,

Though not a word He spoke.

My conscience felt and owned the guilt,

And plunged me in despair,

I saw my sins, His blood had spilt,

And helped to nail Him there!

Alas! I knew not what I did,

But now my tears are vain;

Where shall my trembling soul be hid

For I, the Lord have slain!

A second look He gave, which said,

'I freely all forgive;

This blood is for your ransom paid;

I die, that you may live!'

Thus while His death, my sin displays

In all its blackest hue,

Such is the mystery of grace,

It seals my pardon too!

With pleasing grief and mournful joy,

My spirit now is filled;

That I should such a life destroy,

Yet live by Him I killed!

Romans 3:26 ... To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.

We Shall Behold Him

My endless, blissful theme is ever new; Jesus and His salvation will never wear out. I would never have any sit down satisfied, but still press on after fuller revelations of Jesus; for there are heights and depths in the love of Christ of which the most favored have no conception, and there are beauties and glories in His person which none have yet beheld.

Oh! I would have none rest short of the revelation of His person, though His benefits are all precious. Things of earth often repeated grow stale, but the same view of a precious Jesus a thousand times over is ever new. When Jesus shows Himself again to us, is He not as a lamb newly slain; and is not His sacrifice, as an odor of a sweet smell, as fragrant as though but just offered without spot unto God? Oh, yes, He is ever the same without sameness, and will be to all eternity. The glories, beauties, and excellences of His person are infinite; and from these boundless sources our finite minds will be feasted forever and ever.

The Greatest Line Ever Written In A Song

It sounds so simple it fools the wisdom of this world. It seems to the elite of this world without power. It seems to the rich of this world so poor. It seems to the scoffers of this world foolish. It changes lives like no other line. While it is appreciated by the children of God it too often is over looked as simplistic and yet it's depths are not fully known to men or angels:

JESUS LOVES ME THIS I KNOW, FOR THE BIBLE TELLS ME SO.

Ephesians 3:17-19 ...  That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,  May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.

John 15:13 ... Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.❤

Come to Jesus!

Weak and wounded sinner
Lost and left to die
O, raise your head, for love is passing by

Come to Jesus
Come to Jesus
Come to Jesus and live!

Now your burden's lifted
And carried far away
And precious blood has washed away the stain, so

Sing to Jesus
Sing to Jesus
Sing to Jesus and live!

And like a newborn baby
Don't be afraid to crawl
And remember when you walk
Sometimes we fall...so

Fall on Jesus
Fall on Jesus
Fall on Jesus and live!

Sometimes the way is lonely
And steep and filled with pain
So if your sky is dark and pours the rain, then

Cry to Jesus
Cry to Jesus
Cry to Jesus and live!

O, and when the love spills over
And music fills the night

And when you can't contain your joy inside, then

Dance for Jesus
Dance for Jesus
Dance for Jesus and live!
