Life from whom all living things derive their viability and existence only comes from the Lord above. And as the Body of Believers, we not only receive life and breath from the Father, but we also are given the Holy Spirit to reside within us.

Psalm 88: 1-2 “O Lord, the God who saves me, day and night I cry out before You. My prayer comes before You; turn Your ear to my cry.”
When our prayers rise to heaven, the Lord hears. When He hears, He answers. When He answers, He always acts on our behalf…according to His perfect Will.
Acts 24:16 ” So I strive always to keep my conscience clear before God and man.”
A clean conscience is free from guilt…it knows the difference between right and wrong and tries hard not to offend. In Daniel 6:4 the Administrators and satraps of the government were trying to find grounds for charges against Daniel in his conduct of governmental affairs, but they were unable to do so…they could find no corruption in him, because he was trust worthy and neither corrupt nor negligent in his dealings. Daniel was a man of integrity before God and man.
Matthew 5:17 ” Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.”
Jesus Christ came into this world to fulfill every prophecy of the coming Messiah. By His actions and sufferings each prophecy came to fruition. But Jesus also came to perform perfect obedience to the Law of God…thus satisfying the requirements of said Law.
Psalm 25: 12 ” Who is the man that fears the Lord?”
The Psalmist says we are to be obsessed by God. Not by the world…not by other people…not by anything other than the Lord. We are to be totally dependent and devoted to God and to God only. Like a tiny child’s awareness so absorbed in his mother, that even if she’s out of sight, his mind is ever set on her. And if a problem arises, he looks immediately to her for help.
II Chronicles 5:14 ” Then the Temple of the Lord was filled with a cloud, and the priests could not perform their service because of the cloud, for the glory of the Lord filled the Temple of God.”
The Levitical Priests were the Ministers of Worship in the Temple. When the empty Temple was filled with the presence of God, the glory cloud was so thick with His majesty, they couldn’t see. Oh, to have that kind of glory cloud descend into every Church…God’s presence filling every available space…His glory breaking forth in a magnificent display.
I Corinthians 2: 6-7 ” We do, however, speak a message of wisdom among the mature, but not the wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing. No, we speak of God’s secret wisdom, a wisdom that has been hidden and that God destined for our glory before time began.”
The principles and judgment of this day and age are totally opposed to God’s wisdom. The absurdity and foolishness people look to as sage advice are laughable in the eyes of the Lord. True Godly wisdom is hidden naturally to mankind and unknown to human reasoning. It is only made known to the Believer by Godly revelation.
Proverbs 25: 9-10 ” If you argue your case with a neighbor, do not betray another man’s confidence, or he who hears it may shame you and you will never lose your bad reputation.”
The old saying goes something like…Loose lips sink ships. Integrity, honesty, and good moral character are foundational traits for a good reputation. How people view our position and standing demonstrates who we are as a person. A good reputation is easy to lose and very hard to get back.
Galatians 4: 7 ” So you are no longer a slave, but a son; and since you are a son, God has made you also an heir.”
You are a child of God. You are loved and cherished as a precious son or daughter. And with that comes the right to be an heir, and joint heir with Jesus Christ.
Isaiah 59: 1-2 ” Surely the arm of the Lord is not too short to save, nor His ear too dull to hear. But your iniquities have separated you from your God; your sins have hidden His face from you so that He will not hear.”
Sin separates us from God…for God can not look upon it. It’s not that the Lord can’t help, it’s because He won’t. For in John 9:31 it says, ” We know that God does not listen to sinners. He listens to the godly man who does His will.”
