01-04-2020 Seventh Day Baptist Edgewater Pastor Keith “Pray and Listen” Psalm 25:1-5

 

Listening to the voice of God. We have to hear, pay attention and listen to what God says to us. Our scripture says show me, teach me and lead me to the Lord.  The psalmist is saying to God to lead and show us the best way to go. In the past God spoke to his people through the prophets and/or individual signs like visions to certain people He wanted to speak to. But today God speaks to us through His Son Jesus Christ and His Word.

Jesus is God’s message to us. Jesus is the Word. Jesus’s character is how we should try to be. Jesus is the Word of God made flesh. God raised up Jesus to be a Word for us to follow. Also, the Lord sent us the Holy Spirit to lead and guide us.  God said He will put His law in our hearts and minds. God will open doors for us to go through and He will never leave us or forsake us. God will sometimes open the window but close the door.

We must trust God and Jesus ALWAYS!! We should do what the Lord says and walk by FAITH. How do we determine God’s will today? We do what the apostles did. Pray and Pray and Listen and Listen and then Pray and Pray. Then move on to do what the Lord said to do. The Bible says “Ask and you shall receive, Seek and you shall find, Knock and the door shall be opened”. Pray until you get the answer from God. If you want to know the will of God, READ HIS WORD!! But you must also take your needs to the Lord in prayer. Mean it when you pray it. Do whatever God says even when it’s not what you really wanted.

The Holy Spirit will lead you to the way that God and Jesus want you to go. The Holy Spirit will push you toward one way and stop you from going another way. This is what happened to Paul when he was traveling and preaching. The Holy Spirit told him to go to Macedonia but not to go to Asia. LISTEN to the Spirit!! Spiritual guidance may not always be the easiest way but we are to do the P= U= S= H.  Pray Until Something Happens.

AMEN

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
