Fire on the Altar

BE STILL, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth! Psalms 46:10 Blessed are those who dwell in Your house; They will STILL BE praising You. Selah Psalms 84:4 Those who learn how to BE STILL are ones that STILL BE praising. Be still, and know God so that even when storms of life come you will still be praising. Be still, and know God so that even when the fiery trials come, you will still be praising. Be still, and know God so that even when all hell breaks loose, you will still be praising God. Be still, and know God so that even when others give up, grow weary, and faint you will still be praising God. Be still, and know God so that even when persecution comes, you will still be praising God. Be still, and know God so that even when the enemy of your soul is attacking, you will still be praising God. Be still, and know God so that even when others speak evil of you, you will still be praising God. Be still, ...

He only is my rock and my salvation; He  is my defense; I shall not be greatly moved. Psalms 62:2 Jesus is our Rock. He is the foundation from which we should build our life. No other foundation is sure and solid. Matthew 7 gives us a picture of two houses, they were both built beautifully, both were very valuable houses. Both went through the same circumstances of life. But only one house stood. We all face difficult times. We all face storms of life. We all go through seasons we would not choose for ourselves. The difference is not the circumstances. What makes the difference is..Have we built our life on Rock? Do we know Jesus Christ? I am continuing this journey of who God is through the book of Psalms. This is part 4 of God is..... Before reading any further. I encourage to ask yourself this question. Do I know God?  Here is the litmus test for that question. When we know God, we love and obey Him. God is my Rock. He is my salvation. He is my defense. He i...

O Lord my God, you have performed many wonders for us. Your plans for us are too numerous to list. You have no equal. If I tried to recite all your wonderful deeds, I would never come to the end of them. Psalms 40:5 NLT I am blown away by my God. He is awesome. His name is excellent. He is worthy of all our praise. There is no one or nothing that can compare to Him. His works are too many to number. This is part 5 in my journey through the book of Psalms on the actions of God. I feel like the apostle John when he wrote, "And there are also many other things that Jesus did, which if they were written one by one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that would be written. Amen. John 20:25" The culture, world, even church growth folks, say a sermon series can't be more than four messages because people get bored with the same subject. They want to hear something new and fresh. I pray you will continue this journey with me. Because Go...

Many, O Lord my God, are Your wonderful works Which You have done; And Your thoughts toward us Cannot be recounted to You in order; If I would declare and speak of  them, They are more than can be numbered. Psalms 40:5 NKJV This is part 4 of the acts of God. He  has numbered our days. He inclined to us. He heard our cry. He brought us up out of a horrible pit. He set our feet upon a rock. He established our steps. He put a new song in our mouth. He opens our ears. He knows all. He thinks upon us. He will deliver out of trouble. He will preserve life. He will strengthen us on our bed of illness. He will sustain us on our sucked. He upholds us in integrity. He commands His lovingkindness. His song shall be with us at night. He makes wars to cease to the end of the earth. ( The war/ battle you can't seem to overcome. You can trust God to bring complete victory in Jesus name!) He will subdue the enemy under your feet. He will choose our inheritance. H...

You are my King, O God; You, command victories for your children. Psalms 44:4 I have been going through the book of Psalms looking for verses that reveal who God is, and also what God does on our behalf. This study has impacted every area of my life. I have a new passion for the Word and my prayer life has been impacted in a powerful way. In order to walk with God we must know who He is. When we realize who He is, and all He is doing on our behalf of His people, our faith is expanded to believe that He is, will, can, and will continue to do the same for us. This is part 3 of God is...Many of these things are repetitive. I started to not share things that are repeated but if it seem good to the Holy Spirit as He inspired the writers of Psalms I believe it is good for us. **If you are anything like me you can be hard headed sometimes and need things repeated. jk lol** I pray this blesses you and encourages you in your walk with the Lord. He is the Lord, my God. He is my help...

But now, thus says the Lord , who created you, O Jacob, And He who formed you, O Israel: “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; You are Mine. When you pass through the waters, I will  be with you; And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, Nor shall the flame scorch you. For I am the Lord your God, The Holy One of Israel, your Savior; I gave Egypt for your ransom, Ethiopia and Seba in your place.   I shared earlier this week on  Nine Reasons You Can Trust God  from these three verses. In part 2 of You can trust God. We are going to begin in verse 4.  Since you were precious in My sight,  You are precious. Precious is prized and valuable, you have been appraised and stamped valuable, priceless, esteemed, and costly. In His sight ,  The world, culture, and others around you may have said negative, mean, angry, and hurtful...

Repentace is a changing of direction from sin to Jesus Christ. This change is founded in a change of thinking. Change in the way you view/ think about sin. Change in the way you view/think about God. Real Repentance will always reveal itself in real life change. If nothing has changed. You have not repented. God loves you. He sees you. He can and will forgive you when you repent. Believe the Gospel of Jesus Christ and Repent of your sin.
