The Lord executes righteousness And justice for all who are oppressed. He made known His ways to Moses, His acts to the children of Israel. The Lord  is merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abounding in mercy. Psalms 103:6‭-‬8 NKJV Father in the Name of Jesus, may we be a people who know your acts and walk in your ways. The Acts of God Pt9 He made everything that was made in the heavens and the earth. He reigns. He will judge in righteousness and in truth. A fire goes before Him and burns up His enemies. The mountains melt like wax in His presence. He preserves the souls of His saints. He delivers them out of the hand of the enemy. He has gained victory by His right hand and holy arm. He haa made known His salvation. He remembers His mercy and faithfulness. (My goodness, somebody ought to shout that God can forget our sin but remembers His mercy!) He has established equity and executed justice and righteousness. He answers. He speaks. He gave us His word.

For the Lord  is great and greatly to be praised; He is to be feared above all gods. Psalms 96:4 God is.... Pt7 He is judge of the earth. He is my God the rock of my refuge. He is the Rock of our salvation. The Lord is the great God. He is a great King above all gods. The Lord is great. He is greatly to be praised. He is to be feared above all gods. Honor and majesty are before Him. Strength and beauty are in His presence. Glory is due to His name. He is coming. ( My goodness, can I take a 15 second commercial break? The King is coming, Jesus, the Bridegroom God is coming. I am going to say it loud this time for the people on the back row. Jesus is coming. Be ready. Be full of the Spirit. Be watchful. Be prayerful. Be about the Father's business .) He is coming to judge the earth. Clouds and darkness surround Him. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne. His lightnings light the world. Heavens declare His righteousness. People see His g

Oh, that men would give thanks to the Lord  for His goodness, And for His wonderful works....Let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, And declare His works with rejoicing. Psalms 107:21‭-‬22 Part 8 The Acts of God! My heart is overflowing with thanksgiving to God as I am continuing this journey through Psalms discovering the works of God. He does wondrous things. He helps and comforts us. The Lord loves us. He establishes His faithfulness in the very heavens. He establishes the seed...... He rules the raging sea. He stills the sea. He scatters His enemies. He founded the world. He created the North and the South. He exalts our horn by His favor. He speaks to us. He gives to us. He finds us. He strengthens us. He defeats all our enemies. He continues to be faithful and merciful. He will not stop loving us. He will not fail us. He will not break covenant with us. He will not change His Word. He will not lie to us. (Somebody ought to shout about

Acts 13:43 Now when the congregation had broken up, many of the Jews and devout proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas, who, speaking to them, persuaded them to CONTINUE in the GRACE of God. The same grace we started with is the same grace we must continue in. Beloved get back up today and stop listening to the lies of satan. Stop walking in guilt, shame, and condemnation the GRACE of God is available no matter what you've done, what you're in, or how you feel. God's grace is abounding, sufficent, and more than enough from beginning to end. I encourage you to keep standing in grace by faith. God is able and will finish what He has started in your life. May the grace of God abound more and more in your life, in the name of Jesus Christ!

When the apostles heard of the revival in Antioch they sent Barnabas.... Acts 11:23 When he came and had SEEN the GRACE OF GOD, he was glad, and encouraged them all that with purpose of heart they should continue with the Lord. Those who receive the grace of God are always changed and empowered in their walk with the Lord. You will always SEE the effects of GRACE upon a believer. Those who truly encounter the grace of God turn from darkness to light, from sin to the Jesus Christ. Grace empowers and teaches us to live holy and to deny our flesh. Push somebody and tell them, "Grace empowers me, grace changes me!" May the grace of God abound more and more in your life, in the name of Jesus Christ!

Acts 14:22 The apostles, strengthening the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and saying,  “We must THROUGH many tribulations enter the kingdom of God.” The grace of God always keeps us, some times it is the grace that keeps us from troubles, tribulation, and temptation. But many times the grace of God keeps us THROUGH the troubles, tribulation, and temptation. Hold on to the God of all grace. He has promised to never leave, fail or forsake you. Hold on as the grace of God takes you through the mountain. Through the sickness, through the hurt, through the pain....You've heard it said before but what ever God brings you to the grace of God will take you through. May the grace of God abound more and more in your life, In the name of Jesus Christ!

But You, O Lord, are a God full of compassion, and gracious, Longsuffering and abundant in mercy and truth. Psalms 86:15 NKJV Part 6 God is.... Discovering God through the book of Psalms. He is great. He alone is God. He is full of compassion. He is gracious. He is longsuffering. He is abundant in mercy. He is abundant in truth. He is geeatly to be feared. He is mighty. Who is like Him? He is faithful. The heavens are His. The earth is His. His hand is strong. His right hand is high. Righteousness and justice are Hos foundation. Mercy and truth go before Him. He is the glory of our strength. He is faithful and merciful. He is my Father. He is the rock of my salvation. He is holy. His lovingkindess is sure. He is our dwelling place. He is beautiful. He is our refuge, fortress, and my God. His works are great. His thoughts are deep. He is on high forevermore. He is upright. There is no unrighteousness in Him. He is clothed with majesty.

For You have been a shelter for me, A strong tower from the enemy. I will abide in Your tabernacle forever; I will trust in the shelter of Your wings. Selah Psalms 61:3‭-‬4 God is....Pt5 He is my rock, my salvation, my defense. He is my strength, my refuge. His lovingkindess is better than life. His right hand upholds me. His power is great. He is awesome. His name is YAH (LORD) He is a father to the fatherless. He is a defender of the widows. He is God the Lord. He is the God of salvation. He is among us. He is a strong refuge. He is God very high. No one is like Him. He is good. He is the strength of my heart. He is my portion forever. He is my King. The day is His. The night is His. His name is near. He is the judge. He is known. His name is great in the earth. He is more excellent and glorious than the mountains. He is awesome in the earth. No god is so great a God as our God. He is the God who does wonders. He is our rock. He is the Most High

We give thanks to You, O God, we give thanks! For Your wondrous works declare that Your name is near. Psalms 75:1 NKJV Part 7 The Acts of God. He guides us with His counsel. He destroys all who desert Him for harlotry. He redeems. He works salvation in the midst of the earth. He divided the sea by His strength. He broke the heads of sea serpents in the water. He broke open the fountain and the flood. He dried up mighty rivers. He prepares the light and the sun. He has set all the borders of the earth. He made summer and winter. He will judge uprightly. He set up the pillars of the earth firmly. He puts down one and exalts the other. He gives ear to us. He has declared His strength among the people. He has redeemed people with His arm. He leads His people. He establishes our testimony. He appointed the law in Israel. He commands us to make Him known to our children and for the generation to come. In the land of Egypt He did marvelous things.... He divid

So prepare your minds for action and exercise self-control. Put all your hope in the gracious salvation that will come to you when Jesus Christ is revealed to the world. So you must live as God’s obedient children. Don’t slip back into your old ways of living to satisfy your own desires. You didn’t know any better then. But now you must be holy in everything you do, just as God who chose you is holy. 1 Peter 1:13‭-‬15 NLT Have you prepared your mind today for action? Are you ready to exercise self control? Beloved if you are not prepared and ready to live for God. You will find your self slipping back into old patterns and habits of living. As believers we are called to live as Christ lived. We are called to walk in holiness. This doesn't and will not happen by accident. You have to purpose in your heart and mind to be prepared and ready to live for God. Three ways you can daily prepare your heart and mind to exercise self control. Read, Memorize, and Apply the Wor

Five Things God will Not Do! He will not take away His lovingkindess from His people. He will not fail you. He will not break His covenant. He will not change His Word. He will not lie. Nevertheless My lovingkindness I will not utterly take from him, Nor allow My faithfulness to fail. My covenant I will not break, Nor alter the word that has gone out of My lips. Once I have sworn by My holiness; I will not lie to David: Psalms 89:33‭-‬35

His name shall endure forever; His name shall continue as long as the sun. And men shall be blessed in Him; All nations shall call Him blessed. Blessed be the Lord God, the God of Israel, WHO ONLY DOES WONDROUS WORKS , And blessed be His glorious name forever! And let the whole earth be filled with His glory. Amen and Amen. Psalms 72:17‭-‬19 Part 6 The Actions of God. Let me remind you one more time, whether you see Him or not God is working on your behalf. The Word of God says, Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever. If He did it then, He will do it now. God is not just a then God. He is God, then, now and later. He rides on the clouds. He sets the solitary in families. He brings outs the bound into prosperity. (Somebody ought to shout, dance, and do a Holy Ghost Gig right there) He sent a plentiful rain. He confirms His inheritance. He provides His goodness for the poor. He gave the word to cause the enemies to flee. He will dwell forever.
