Until We Come To The Measure

May the Lord put in you the worshiping, warring heart of David; may He put in you the determinate fortitude of Daniel; may He put in you the wisdom of Solomon; may He stir in you the loving loyalty of John and may He put in you the compassionate, selfless, mission-accomplishing heart of His Son. May the Lord bring a parting of ways with people, thoughts and actions what would prevent those values and qualities from rising to the top and may He bring to you His ordained, Scriptural relationships that would build-in and re-enforce them — “until we come to the measure and stature of Christ” (Eph.4:11-16).

Going Out Among Them

No doubt some of the distressed, heart-broken and captives will be ministered to as we gather for worship for that is when “God sits down among his people” (Ps. 22:3).  And you can count on the fact that when God Sits down among his people something will happen!  But most of those who will be ministered to by this fellowship of believers will first be ministered to by those of us who come to worship, receive encouragement from the Word, are edified and then go out among them and allow what God has done in our lives to touch their lives.

Truth Contradicts the Snakes

Protesting is getting louder and nastier but the truth still contradicts those who despise it. The truth will never go away and it will never be compromised. Truth will never be put on the auction block. The longer the representatives of God’s truth stand in “Pharaoh’s court” and speak truth, the greater the number of “snakes” will manifest themselves. But God’s rod in Aaron’s hand swallowed up Pharaoh’s undesirable, intimidating snakes. (Ex.7:8-12 and Matt.10:26) We will see even more and nastier snakes manifest before all this is over. But they must manifest before they are swallowed up in authoritative truth.

September is For Hearing God

The month of SEPTEMBER IS FOR HEARING GOD in moments and in settings we have not cognizantly expected to hear Him in in the past. We shall hear Him and know how to best relate to people, know which path to take and be able to discern the times that we may act expeditiously.  “If you go the wrong way—to the right or to the left—you will hear a voice behind you. It will say, ‘This is the right way. You should go this way.’” (Isa.30:21, ICB)

Praises and the All-sufficiency of God

The praises of God bring us to the all-sufficiency of God:  “Ask…seek…knock.  If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children how much hand knocking at doormore will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!” (Mt. 7:7-11).  They show us the holiness of God which is unattainable by works:  “But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light” (1Pe. 2:9).  They draw us to the compassion of God which calls us even closer than we have been before:  “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.  Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.  For my yoke is easy and my burden is light” (Mt. 11:28-30).

Placing Lively Stones

As the people of God assemble today may their distractions and differences divide not at all. But may each one yield to the Builder’s Hand that He might lay each lively stone into the place where they might best serve His purposes in the body of Christ, being cemented together by the Word and the Holy Spirit and stabilized on the only Rock that can hold the building. “In Him [and in fellowship with one another] you yourselves also are being built up [into this structure] with the rest, to form a fixed abode (dwelling place) of God in (by, through) the Spirit.” (Eph.2:22, Amp; also 1Pe.2:5)

If It Can Be Shaken

God promises to shake everything that can be shaken. It is His solemn word and something that He will not do half-heartedly. We have an unshakeable kingdom because we have an unchanging Person, Jesus. The religious systems and practices of the church are being shaken. The kingdom cannot be shaken. The authority and power of God to act sovereignly through His people cannot be shaken. His truths and redemptive government that releases the captive cannot be shaken. But the systems of misbelief and the systems that sustain the agendas of men are most definitely being shaken. (Heb.12:27)

His Sufficiency Overwhelming My Insufficiency

“I didn’t feel near this good when I got here!”  Haven’t you heard someone say that just after a worship service where it seemed as though the joyful bliss of heaven touched the pain of present earth for a couple of hours?  Normally when I have felt like that was after an evening of being in the presence of God, lost in his loving touch.  Though I was in the middle of a crowd of people who were appreciating his divine presence, I was not cognizant of their praises, their position or their voices.  On one such an occasion, in a home Bible study, about twenty of us had been standing in a circle, holding hands and offering up worship and prayer at the end of the teaching period. Suddenly, as I was releasing praises of adoration, proclaiming the character and attributes of Father God, I realized who and what I was before the awesomeness of God.  Forty-five minutes later, while on my face in the middle of the room, I suddenly became aware of the others who were present that night.  But for forty-five minutes the praises of God witnessed to my heart my great need for God on that particular night.  I realized that for all I wasn’t, and that for all I lacked, God was sufficient.  At that very moment, though it had been a long and trying week, I was rested from the weariness and apprehension that had beset me because I was insufficient for all the requirements upon me.
