Speak of The Lord God

I Will Put A Song In Your Mouth

Aug24

Sing to the Lord a new song; Sing to the Lord, all the earth. Sing to the Lord, bless His name; Proclaim good tidings of His salvation from day to day.
Psalms 96:1-2 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.96.1-2.NASB1995

I am a person who enjoys singing. From the time my eyes open in the morning until I close them in sleep I am either humming or singing the words of old and new hymns and contemporary Christian songs. It helps me to keep my focus on the one true God. Most times I’m singing praise songs.  The Lord has put a song in my heart. It helps me to handle situations that pop-up with more grace and love. The attitude of praise pours over into the interactions I have throughout my day. Do others see Jesus in me? If I am more approachable I am less of a threat to others and just maybe opportunity to plant seeds may arise. 

šŸŒ¹He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God; Many will see and fear And will trust in the Lord.

Are We Seeing, Hearing & Obeying?

Aug20

Woe to her who is rebellious and defiled, The tyrannical city! She heeded no voice, She accepted no instruction. She did not trust in the Lord, She did not draw near to her God.
Zephaniah 3:1-2 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/zep.3.1-2.NASB1995

But this is what I commanded them, saying, ā€˜Obey My voice, and I will be your God, and you will be My people; and you will walk in all the way which I command you, that it may be well with you.ā€™
Jeremiah 7:23 NASB1995

But this people has a stubborn and rebellious heart; They have turned aside and departed.
Jeremiah 5:23 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/jer.5.23.NASB1995

Jeremiah 7:24 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/jer.7.24.NASB1995

O Lord, do not Your eyes look for truth? You have smitten them, But they did not weaken; You have consumed them, But they refused to take correction. They have made their faces harder than rock; They have refused to repent.
Jeremiah 5:3 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/jer.5.3.NASB1995

Because they did not believe in God And did not trust in His salvation.
Psalms 78:22 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.78.22.NASB1995

My prayer is that all nations on earth would seek, obey, and accept correction from the Lord God.

Entrance to The Kingdom

Aug18

Jesus answered, ā€œTruly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
John 3:5 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/jhn.3.5.NASB1995

Salvation is much more than walking an aisle in church, saying a prayer, and then being dunked in water.
Salvation is a decision to live a whole new lifestyle with Jesus at the helm, head, steering wheel, etc. It is placing Jesus on the throne of your heart.
As John 3:5 states, you must be born of water. What does that mean? Jesus, having mercy on us, cleanses us from all filthiness, sin in our lives. That is being born of water. (Ephesians 5:26)
Baptism symbolizes a washing of regeneration, a transformation of our soul for the glory of God. This means sin has been washed away, and our lives are now centered on living in and for the kingdom of God.
Salvation is not only the cleansing, but also comes to us with the blessing of the Holy Spirit who is richly poured out on us through Jesus Christ, our Savior, residing in us. That is being born of the Spirit. (John 3:6)
We are being renewed, transformed into the image of our Lord by the Spirit of God living in us. (Titus 3:5-7; 2 Corinthians 3:18)

šŸŒ¹Then I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse you from all your filthiness and from all your idols. Moreover, I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; and I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will be careful to observe My ordinances.

God IN You?

Aug17

We have come to know and have believed the love which God has (in) for us. God is love, and the one who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.
1 John 4:16 NASB1995

John 6:68 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/jn.6.68.NASB1995

No one has seen God at any time; if we love one another, God abides in us, and His love is perfected in us. By this we know that we abide in Him and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit. We have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son to be the Savior of the world. Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.

1 John 5:4 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/1jn.5.4.NASB1995

šŸ™Yours, O Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, indeed everything that is in the heavens and the earth; Yours is the dominion, O Lord, and You exalt Yourself as head over all. Both riches and honor come from You, and You rule over all, and in Your hand is power and might; and it lies in Your hand to make great and to strengthen everyone.
Now therefore, our God, we thank You, and praise Your glorious name.
