A Man crippled since birth

 

A Lame Man Healed

3 Now Peter and John went up together to the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour. 2 And a certain man lame from his mother’s womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to [a]ask alms from those who entered the temple; 3 who, seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, asked for alms. 4 And fixing his eyes on him, with John, Peter said, “Look at us.” 5 So he gave them his attention, expecting to receive something from them. 6 Then Peter said, “Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.” 7 And he took him by the right hand and lifted him up, and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength. 8 So he, leaping up, stood and walked and entered the temple with them—walking, leaping, and praising God. 9 And all the people saw him walking and praising God. 10 Then they knew that it was he who sat begging alms at the Beautiful Gate of the temple; and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.

Be amazed at my power and authority over all things 

Both invisible and visible 

For I am the Creator and Sustainer of all things 

I have granted my children the authority to use the power of my name 

For my name is above every other name.

Whenever you use my name power shall flow 

As from the hem of my garment 

Faith shall move mountains

I have given the power 

I have granted my children the right to use my name 

Look for every opportunity and do not look away or delay till tomorrow 

For power is given in the moment called now 

Yesterday is gone and tomorrow may never arrive

Declare my name today this very moment

I provide the day 

I provide the means 

I provide the power 

I provide the faith 

I provide the opportunity 

So take advantage of everything I have provided 

Do not not be so wrapped up in things that have little value 

But store up your treasure in heaven 

The blind man given sight 

The lame give mobility 

The deaf given hearing

The pauper fed and clothed 

The dirty made clean 

Do these things and build up heavenly treasure 

I am not lacking in my provisions to you 

For I am the the God of Abundance and Blessing 

Be amazed at the outpouring from my hand this very hour 

I am within arms reach 

Lift up your hands to take hold of mine 

And I shall guide you into your best outcome  

These days shall be amazing for those that know me 

For I shall be in their midst guiding, blessing, providing, healing and saving.

Amen   

He protects his loyal ones

 ‭Psalms 31:23-24 NLT‬[23] Love the Lord, all you godly ones! For the Lord protects those who are loyal to him, but he harshly punishes the arrogant. [24] So be strong and courageous, all you who put your hope in the Lord!https://bible.com/bible/116/psa.31.23-24.NLT

I am the Lord thy God

I have always loved my creation

My wrath is never for long even then it is for your good

For I am rich in love and abounding in joy 

Become aware of my abiding presence and know that my peace is abundant and plentiful.

I shall protect those who are loyal to me

Be amazed at my outpouring in the days to come the arrogant shall feel me like never before

I shall make myself known

Every knee shall bow before me

Come you who are called by my name let us declare peace and joy and protection in the Holy Ghost.

Be amazed at what I shall accomplish through my faithful ones.

They shall be a force in the world of darkness for they shall declare my light to a dying world.

Amen

The Lord is more than enough everything you need

 

I am the LORD ALMIGHY Come to me and be healed in body 

Mind and spirit 

 

Surely I can do this for you 

Tomorrow is the day when all thing shall be resolved 

Psalm 103 He will grant favor to His People

Psalm 103

 

 

Of David.

 

1 Praise the Lord, my soul;

    all my inmost being, praise his holy name.

 

2 Praise the Lord, my soul,

    and forget not all his benefits—

 

3 who forgives all your sins

    and heals all your diseases,

 

4 who redeems your life from the pit

    and crowns you with love and compassion,

 

5 Who satisfies your desires with good things

    so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

 

6 The Lord works righteousness

    and justice for all the oppressed.

 

7 He made known his ways to Moses,

    his deeds to the people of Israel:

 

8 The Lord is compassionate and gracious,

    slow to anger, abounding in love.

 

9 He will not always accuse,

    nor will he harbor his anger forever;

 

10 he does not treat us as our sins deserve

    or repay us according to our iniquities.

 

11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth,

    so great is his love for those who fear him;

 

12 as far as the east is from the west,

    so far has he removed our transgressions from us.

 

13 As a father has compassion on his children,

    so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him;

 

14 for he knows how we are formed,

    he remembers that we are dust.

 

15 The life of mortals is like grass,

    they flourish like a flower of the field;

 

16 the wind blows over it and it is gone,

    and its place remembers it no more.

 

17 But from everlasting to everlasting

    the Lord’s love is with those who fear him,

    and his righteousness with their children’s children—

 

18 with those who keep his covenant

    and remember to obey his precepts.

 

19 The Lord has established his throne in heaven,

    and his kingdom rules over all.

 

20 Praise the Lord, you his angels,

    you mighty ones who do his bidding,

    who obey his word.

 

21 Praise the Lord, all his heavenly hosts,

    you his servants who do his will.

 

22 Praise the Lord, all his works

    everywhere in his dominion.

 

Praise the Lord, my soul.

 

 

Let my inmost being praise his name for He is the forgiver of sins and the healer of diseases

 

He is the redeemer and lifter of my soul

 

He crowns with love and compassion 

 

He gives hope and satisfies my desires so my strength is renewed 

 

He speaks His Word into my heart and I am blessed because of it 

 

Listen to me. 

 

I am the God of all comfort 

 

It is I who loves you beyond measure.

 

I supply all things for am Creator and sustainer of all 

 

By my breath, all things have their being

 

I spoke and light was made 

 

I spoke and darkness was cast down

 

It has always been my desire to bless all creation.

 

Yet do not despair at your hardships and trials

 

For my best soldiers have come through many battles    

 

I am the God who grants peace and favor to the faithful and resilient 

 

Those who persist and persevere through hardship shall not be forgotten 

 

For I am the God who delights to grant good things to those who belong to me

 

Come to me and see if I do not bless you with an abundance you can not contain.

 

He is the God who sustains His people: those who believe in Him.

 

He is majestic and righteous 

 

He is abounding in compassion 

 

He is slow to anger

 

He is the God who grants abundantly to those who revere His name 

Amen

Psalm 132 Faith

Psalm 132

A song of ascents.

¹ Lord, remember David
    and all his self-denial.

² He swore an oath to the Lord,
    he made a vow to the Mighty One of Jacob:
³ “I will not enter my house
    or go to my bed,
⁴ I will allow no sleep to my eyes
    or slumber to my eyelids,
⁵ till I find a place for the Lord,
    a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob.”

⁶ We heard it in Ephrathah,
    we came upon it in the fields of Jaar^.
7 “Let us go to his dwelling place,
    let us worship at his footstool, saying,
⁸ ‘Arise, Lord, and come to your resting place,
    you and the ark of your might.
⁹ May your priests be clothed with your righteousness;
    may your faithful people sing for joy.’”

¹⁰ For the sake of your servant David,
    do not reject your anointed one.

¹¹ The Lord swore an oath to David,
    a sure oath he will not revoke:
“One of your own descendants
    I will place on your throne.
¹² If your sons keep my covenant
    and the statutes I teach them,
then their sons will sit
    on your throne for ever and ever.”

¹³ For the Lord has chosen Zion,
    he has desired it for his dwelling, saying,
¹⁴ “This is my resting place for ever and ever;
    here I will sit enthroned, for I have desired it.
¹⁵ I will bless her with abundant provisions;
    her poor I will satisfy with food.
¹⁶ I will clothe her priests with salvation,
    and her faithful people will ever sing for joy.

¹⁷ “Here I will make a horn grow for David
    and set up a lamp for my anointed one.
¹⁸ I will clothe his enemies with shame,
    but his head will be adorned with a radiant crown.”

 

Tell me 

Where is fervent prayer found? 

I tell you 

The most fervent prayer that men utter unto God is found in the trenches during warfare

So why don't we visit the trenches during war to seek a meaningful encounter with God 

I tell you if only you knew  how desperate and urgent the salvation of souls was to God

Move your heart O Christian and become a seeing soul who feels as God feels

Never before in history have souls been more important to God than Now 

Only Father God  knows the day and the hour of completion.

When the final trumpet sounds.

 

Tell me 

Where do you go if you want to meet those with supernatural experiences

I tell you 

It is in the mental wards 

They themselves will tell you of their visions and dreams

They have entered the supernatural realm through an unguarded demonic backdoor 

We however, do not seek supernatural experiences outside the framework of the Word of God.

I tell you 

We need to be open to the things of God

So I tell you 

Develop a healthy sanity and stability around your faith.

 

O for a heart moved with compassion and a sound mind founded on the love of His Christ  

AMEN

 

  

 

 

Jesus is Lord of earth and heaven

Col 2:15

15 And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross.

 

think Matilda Wormwood and the Trunch bull

think eggs, rotten tomatoes, cabbage

and being paraded through the streets for all to see  

 

 

 

 

 

 The comparision is a valid one but has some theological issues

Whenever the roman armies defeated a foe. Their Kings and Notable people where paraded through the streets 

The whole nation would have known the enemy had been defeated once and for all.

Defunct of any power or authority

No longer able to mount any form of attack 

The only future they had was of one in chains and bondage with no hope of rescue  

Psalm 130 God is working out your Redemption

 Psalm 130

A song of ascents.

¹ Out of the depths I cry to you, Lord;
²     Lord, hear my voice.
Let your ears be attentive
    to my cry for mercy.

³ If you, Lord, kept a record of sins,
    Lord, who could stand?
⁴ But with you there is forgiveness,
    so that we can, with reverence, serve you.

⁵ I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits,
    and in his word I put my hope.
⁶ I wait for the Lord
    more than watchmen wait for the morning,
    more than watchmen wait for the morning.

⁷ Israel, put your hope in the Lord,
    for with the Lord is unfailing love
    and with him is full redemption.
⁸ He himself will redeem Israel
    from all their sins.

 

 

 

Be sure I am working out your redemption

Be as a night watchman waiting for the morning 

The light will dawn and will arise on you and you shall be redeemed.

Put your Hope in me says the Lord 

For I am able to do more than you ask or imagine 

Be still and  know that I am God Almighty 

Put your hope in me says the Lord 

For I am more than able 

Indeed, It is I that am the enabler of men

Be sure I shall deliver you from bondage 

You shall be redeemed.

I shall cause you to rise 

You shall be the head and not the tail 

I shall carve out the road ahead 

I shall remove obstacles and make rough roads smooth 

Be confident says the Lord of lords and King of kings 

Put your hope in Him 

For He is the beginning and the ending  

Your sins will not have mastery over you

For I have given you my Holy Spirit

 AMEN 

Psalm 129: Perseverance staying the course

Psalm 129

A song of ascents.

¹ “They have greatly oppressed me from my youth,”
    let Israel say;
² “they have greatly oppressed me from my youth,
    but they have not gained the victory over me.
³ Plowmen have plowed my back
    and made their furrows long.
⁴ But the Lord is righteous;
    he has cut me free from the cords of the wicked.”

⁵ May all who hate Zion
    be turned back in shame.
⁶ May they be like grass on the roof,
    which withers before it can grow;
⁷ a reaper cannot fill his hands with it,
    nor one who gathers fill his arms.
⁸ May those who pass by not say to them,
    “The blessing of the Lord be on you;
    we bless you in the name of the Lord.”

 

I am the God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob 

May you come to know me as Friend and the author of your Salvation 

See you have stayed the course 

You enemy has not prevailed 

O God, thwart the bread basket of those who hate you

Let their crops fail, in shallow ground let them sow their seed

where none can reap or harvest.

Let those that despise the living God be cursed with failure upon failure

Let none grant them a good report 

Let none speak comfort or blessing but let them be cast down to shame

 

I am the God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob 

See, I have made a new covenant with my people 

No longer shall you curse your enemy 

But see, now I tell you

Seek the best of your fellow man whether he is good or bad.

For I have bought back man's dominion with a heavy price 

Now, Friend of God most high

Seek the best for your enemy and do good to those who hate you 

Amen 

 

 

 

Psalm 126 Those who sow in sorrow shall reap in joy

Psalm 126

A song of ascents.

¹ When the Lord restored the fortunes of Zion,
    we were like those who dreamed^,
2 Our mouths were filled with laughter,
    our tongues with songs of joy.
Then it was said among the nations,
    “The Lord has done great things for them.”
³ The Lord has done great things for us,
    and we are filled with joy.

⁴ Restore our fortunes, Lord,
    like streams in the Negev.
⁵ Those who sow with tears
    will reap with songs of joy.
⁶ Those who go out weeping,
    carrying seed to sow,
will return with songs of joy,
    carrying sheaves with them.

 

It's time to reflect on your journey.

Ask yourself some serious questions 

Have you grown in faith?

Are you more forgiving? 

Are you a kinder person?

Are you more resilient?

What overall lesson can be learned through your struggle?

It's time to take stock 

What do you need to change to change the way its headed?

 

 

Listen to me says the Lord 

I am the God of surprises!

Surely my best future, planned for you since the dawn of time shall come to pass

Come near and let me speak with you

You are my beloved and I have seen fit to bestow great things upon you  

I shall reveal my plans to you says the Lord.

Submit to me and my judgements says the Lord 

For I am Holy and Righteous 

I am the Judge who seeks the best for you and your household.

 

Psalm 124. Help from the Lord in times of need

 

Psalm 124

A song of ascents. Of David.

¹ If the Lord had not been on our side—
    let Israel say—
² if the Lord had not been on our side
    when people attacked us,
³ they would have swallowed us alive
    when their anger flared against us;
⁴ the flood would have engulfed us,
    the torrent would have swept over us,
⁵ the raging waters
    would have swept us away.

⁶ Praise be to the Lord,
    who has not let us be torn by their teeth.
⁷ We have escaped like a bird
    from the fowler’s snare;
the snare has been broken,
    and we have escaped.
⁸ Our help is in the name of the Lord,
    the Maker of heaven and earth.

 

Surely, I am your help in time of need, says the Lord

I shall remember you, says the Lord

I shall defend you.

For I am your God and salvation in time of need

Do not be fearful of the times that have come upon the earth 

For I am Lord of all and every knee shall bow before my throne 

I am from everlasting to everlasting 

Surely, I shall bring my plan to completion, says the Lord

Surely, I shall bring the full number of those I have chosen into my Kingdom.

Come to me says the Lord 

Make me your Lord and King 

And I shall move in the heavens to assist you 

Surely my angels shall come to your rescue 

They shall fight on your side 

A great multitude shall come to your defence

Amen  

 

Psalm 120. Living in a difficult place

 

Psalm 120

A song of ascents.

¹ I call on the Lord in my distress,
    and he answers me.
² Save me, Lord,
    from lying lips
    and from deceitful tongues.

³ What will he do to you,
    and what more besides,
    you deceitful tongue?
⁴ He will punish you with a warrior’s sharp arrows,
    with burning coals of the broom bush.

⁵ Woe to me that I dwell in Meshek,
    that I live among the tents of Kedar!
⁶ Too long have I lived
    among those who hate peace.
⁷ I am for peace;
    but when I speak, they are for war.

 

Be sure, I shall answer you when you call on me, says the Lord 

Those around you shall see the arrow of the warrior and the coals of the fire 

I shall move in your midst says the Lord 

For too long has discord and deceitful lips been found among the nations 

I shall silence the foe and the avenger no more shall they persist in their spite

For I shall put an end to their dealings with men 

The nations and kingdoms around you shall be brought to compliance with the kingdom of God or face everlasting ruin, says the Lord

For My kingdom is an everlasting kingdom 

And My throne an everlasting throne 

Tell me O Christian. Who is he that is seated with Me on My throne?

See, I have made you a prince in my Kingdom, says the Lord.

Submit to me says the Lord and see your enemies flee from you

Watch as I move in your midst.

 Amen   

 

God's will doesn't come about by chance. Play your part in bringing Heaven to earth

 

Psalm 103:20-22.

 

20 Bless the Lord, you His angels,

Who excel in strength, who do His word,

Heeding the voice of His word.

21 Bless the Lord, all you His hosts,

You ministers of His, who do His pleasure.

22 Bless the Lord, all His works,

In all places of His dominion.

Bless the Lord, O my soul!

 

Psalm 35:27.

27 Let them shout for joy and be glad,

Who favor my righteous cause;

And let them say continually,

“Let the Lord be magnified,

Who has pleasure in the prosperity of His servant.”

 

Psalm 35

 

Tell me, who is his servant?

 

It is the one who comes into covenant agreement with the Father through Christ the Son

 

It is the one who has committed to developing the Mind of Christ

 

To operate by His eternal values and qualities

 

It is the one who knows as stated by Psalm 103 that his angels do the will of God by the voice of his Word

 

It is the one who speaks in faith and knows the fulness of God's Word in his heart

 

Consider the law courts. A person who knows their rights under the Law is in a better position to argue 

their case before the judge.

 

Tell me, who is the servant of God?

 

It is the one who obeys and puts their knowledge of God's Word into practice

 

Tell me, who is the servant of God?

 

It is the one who honours His name and can sing a song of praise to God regardless of circumstance.

 

It is the one who lives an uncompromising holy life free from any kind of iniquity

 

So I tell you

 

Come into a covenant agreement with Jesus Christ

 

Read the scriptures and know it in your heart

 

Know his angels take no heed of man's emotion or pleas or entreaties but only obey the voice of His Word 

 

Worship and praise the living God

 

Speak the words of God over your life and the life of your loved ones and watch as His angels that are with you move in power in your midst

 

AMEN
