Evening Meditation 1-3-20

I will establish his line forever,
    his throne as long as the heavens endure.

30 “If his sons forsake my law
    and do not follow my statutes,
31 if they violate my decrees
    and fail to keep my commands,
32 I will punish their sin with the rod,
    their iniquity with flogging;
33 but I will not take my love from him,
    nor will I ever betray my faithfulness.
34 I will not violate my covenant
    or alter what my lips have uttered.
35 Once for all, I have sworn by my holiness—
    and I will not lie to David—
36 that his line will continue forever
    and his throne endure before me like the sun;
37 it will be established forever like the moon,
    the faithful witness in the sky.” Psalm 89: 29-37

What do verses 30-34 teach us about the New Covenant?

My Hiding Place

This show is gripping. Please consider having Brenda in to your church

joseph elon lillie's avatarNotes From the Vicarage

When last we spoke, one of the things I told you was that Brenda was put on sabbatical after her conferences in August. Her leadership told her she needed to take off through the end of October. I was relieved because she was emotionally and spiritually exhausted (and anyone who has ever done the work of full time ministry knows how difficult spiritual exhaustion can be).

During her time away from the itineration trail Brenda sought spiritual guidance and spent a lot of time praying. The Lord led her during that time to write a one woman show based on the life of Corrie TenBoom one of the 20th century’s great heroes of the faith. Corrie Tenboom’s name rises to the level of Graham, Bon Hoeffer, Elliot and Mother Theresa.

That show is almost ready to go up. The first production will be on January 10th. I have sat through…

I will set his hand over the sea,
    his right hand over the rivers.
26 He will call out to me, ‘You are my Father,
    my God, the Rock my Savior.’
27 And I will appoint him to be my firstborn,
    the most exalted of the kings of the earth.
28 I will maintain my love to him forever,
    and my covenant with him will never fail.
29 I will establish his line forever,
    his throne as long as the heavens endure. Psalm 89:25-29

What is the covenant God has made with and through Jesus?

29 I will establish his line forever,

OK so verse 25 does not sound like He is talking about King David anymore. Who do you think God is talking about here?

Evening Meditation 1-2-20

Once you spoke in a vision,
    to your faithful people you said:
“I have bestowed strength on a warrior;
    I have raised up a young man from among the people.
20 I have found David my servant;
    with my sacred oil I have anointed him.
21 My hand will sustain him;
    surely my arm will strengthen him.
22 The enemy will not get the better of him;
    the wicked will not oppress him.
23 I will crush his foes before him
    and strike down his adversaries.
24 My faithful love will be with him,
    and through my name his horn[f] will be exalted. Psalm 89:19-24

Why do you think evil keeps on trying to win when it is sure to lose in the end?

Give me some examples of God strengthening people.

How Truth Sets You Free

Posted on by under Pastor Wrinkles

This word came to me in prayer this morning. I felt led to share it with you.

God is the holder of our true identities. We can never really know who we are or who we were made to be until we come to Him. Until then we put on half true faces to match the tenor of the world around us. Even when we do come to Him, though, we find that our false selves still cling to us. It is only in the relating to God that those false selves begin to strip away and we come to ourselves. It is for this reason the world, the flesh and the devil work so hard to keep Christians from doing the very things which most deeply connect them to God. You see, in the connecting we become truly ourselves and all the interior spaces we once gave to our false selves is taken up by truth, and as you know the truth will set you free!
