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
