Judgment – Part 1

Jul15

But the Lord abides forever; He has established His throne for judgment,
Psalms 9:7 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.9.7.NASB1995

which He will bring about at the proper time—He who is the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords,
1 Timothy 6:15 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/1ti.6.15.NASB1995

This is the judgment, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the Light, for their deeds were evil.
John 3:19 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/jhn.3.19.NASB1995

Jesus is the only way through which someone is saved from judgment.

“Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.
John 5:24 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/jhn.5.24.NASB1995

🌹He is Lord of lords and King of kings, and those who are with Him are the called and chosen and faithful.”

Is God Still Speaking?

Jul12

“The Spirit of the Lord spoke by me, And His word was on my tongue.
2 Samuel 23:2 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/2sa.23.2.NASB1995

The Holy Spirit is a gift given to the those saved in Christ Jesus. So the saved in Christ will be filled with joy and peace. The Holy Spirit speaks in and through the surrendered believer.
Acts 2:38/Romans 15:13/Mark 13:11

And He lives in you, believer.

Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own?
1 Corinthians 6:19 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/1co.6.19.NASB1995

The Holy Spirit is our helper.

But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you.
John 14:26 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/jhn.14.26.NASB1995

“All that I have said to you” He will bring to remembrance. This is where the Bible plays a very, very important part in our walk with the Lord. We need to read – eat, digest – the Word of God so the Holy Spirit who lives in us will bring to remembrance His holy word when we need to speak it. The Spirit of God spoke and His word was on my tongue.

Is the Spirit of the Lord speaking through you?

🌹for the Holy Spirit will teach you in that very hour what you ought to say.”
Luke 12:12 NASB1995‬

Mankind Versus God

Jul11

Mankind:
Surely I am more stupid than any man, And I do not have the understanding of a man. Neither have I learned wisdom, Nor do I have the knowledge of the Holy One.
Proverbs 30:2-3 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/pro.30.2-3.NASB1995

Versus God:
Who has ascended into heaven and descended? Who has gathered the wind in His fists? Who has wrapped the waters in His garment? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is His name or His son’s name? Surely you know!
Proverbs 30:4 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/pro.30.4.NASB1995

Do you know?

Jesus says:
No one has ascended into heaven, but He who descended from heaven: the Son of Man.
John 3:13 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/jhn.3.13.NASB1995

The Lord rules over everything.

Whatever the Lord pleases, He does, In heaven and in earth, in the seas and in all deeps. He causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth; Who makes lightnings for the rain, Who brings forth the wind from His treasuries.
Psalms 135:6-7 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.135.6-7.NASB1995

For thus says the Lord, who created the heavens (He is the God who formed the earth and made it, He established it and did not create it a waste place, but formed it to be inhabited), “I am the Lord, and there is none else.
Isaiah 45:18 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/isa.45.18.NASB1995

Do you know who God is? Do you KNOW Him?

🌹The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.

I Will Still Praise Him

Why are you in despair (sunk down),      O my soul?
And why have you become disturbed within me?

The help of my countenance and my God.
Psalms 42:5,11d NASB1995‬

Hindering Unbelief

Jul8

And He (Jesus) did not do many miracles (works of power) there because of their unbelief.
Matthew 13:58 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/mat.13.58.NASB1995

Do we hinder the work of God by our unbelief?
Do we believe He is able to do the impossible through us? In us? For us?

And Jesus said to him, “ ‘If You can?’ All things are possible to him who believes.”
Mark 9:23 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/mrk.9.23.NASB1995

Shout, Serve, Come, Know

Shout joyfully to the Lord, all the earth. Serve the Lord with gladness;
Come before Him with joyful singing.

Know the God you have been shown. God is real, believer, so know He is God and there is no other.

You are loved.

Blessed Are Those Who Long

Jul4

just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and blameless before Him. In love He predestined us to adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the kind intention of His will,
Ephesians 1:4-5 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/eph.1.4-5.NASB1995

‭Therefore the Lord longs to be gracious to you, And therefore He waits on high to have compassion on you. For the Lord is a God of justice; How blessed are all those who long for Him.
Isaiah 30:18 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/isa.30.18.NASB1995

Believers are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to walk in good works. Jesus reconciled the believer in order to present us holy, blameless and beyond reproach. Jesus came to open the eyes of the blind and the ears of the deaf – those lost in darkness and deaf to God’s word. God will guide our feet in the way of peace. The Lord longs to be gracious to you.
Ephesians 2:10; Colossians 1:22; Isaiah 32:3, 30:21; Luke 1:79

The Veil

Jul3

but whenever a person turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.
2 Corinthians 3:16 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/2co.3.16.NASB1995

The veil that separates man and God.
The temple had a veil that separated the Holy place from the Holy of Holies.  Once a year the High Priest would meet with God in the Holy of Holies with a blood sacrifice for himself and for the sins of the people. Hebrews 9:6-7

When Jesus died on the cross, He being the final sacrifice – the sacrifice of the Holy of Holies for all – the veil of separation was torn from top to bottom. Access to the Holy of Holies was open to all who desired access.

Individuals still walk with the veil of separation. Separation from the Holy of Holies, God. Through Jesus the veil is removed. Jesus was the final sacrifice that removed the veil.

And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing,
2 Corinthians 4:3 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/2co.4.3.NASB1995

but whenever a person turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.
2 Corinthians 3:16 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/2co.3.16.NASB1995

Are you ready to have your veil removed?

🌹But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit.

My Own Know Me

Jul2

Good and upright is the Lord; Therefore He instructs sinners in the way. He leads the humble in justice, And He teaches the humble His way. All the paths of the Lord are lovingkindness and truth To those who keep His covenant and His testimonies.
Psalms 25:8-10 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.25.8-10.NASB1995

Nevertheless, the firm foundation of God stands, having this seal, “The Lord knows those who are His,” and, “Everyone who names the name of the Lord is to abstain from wickedness.”
2 Timothy 2:19 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/2ti.2.19.NASB1995

The saddest, most devastating words a person who believes they are saved could hear are, “I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness.”

“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness.’
Matthew 7:21-23 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/mat.7.21-23.NASB1995

For Your name’s sake, O Lord, Pardon my iniquity, for it is great.
Psalms 25:11 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.25.11.NASB1995

Do you know, that you know, that you know Jesus personally?

🌹I am the good shepherd, and I know My own and My own know Me,
