Ascribe to the Lord the Glory Due His Name (193) - May 13 2023

LISTEN TO THIS PODCAST Focusing on Numbers chapter 20 this week and the incident at the Rock with Moses, Aaron and the Assembly of the Children of Israel. How important it is to be obedient to the Lord’s commandments, and be led by His voice within our conscience. The importance of acknowledging the Lord for all good things in our witness to others, especially the lost as well as the saved that…

"THAT CONTAINER IS LYING ABOUT ITS CONTENTS"

Matthew 7:15, “Be on your guard against false prophets; they come to you LOOKING LIKE SHEEP on the OUTSIDE, but on the INSIDE they are really like wild WOLVES.” (GNT) My two favorite seasons are Winter and Fall! Winter, because I love Christmas, snow, carols, decorations and the like. And Fall, because I love the colors, Thanksgiving, the start of the scent of fireplaces, but most of all,…

[honeysurge]

Yo. No one can take you from Gods hand or separate you from His love. We got life through Him. He loves you, and I do too. I hear Him saying “rest in my promises” because someone out there needed to hear that.

Harmony

“He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear the LORD and put their trust in him.” Psalm 40:3 I am sure many of us have witnessed two distinct ways of singing a song and playing an instrument; and one appears to be more of a gift or an acquired gift than the other. There is the soloist and musician who studies the notes and practices methodically until the…

Stare Yourself Deaf | Eric Gilmour [2 Corinthians 13:5]

The more attention we give to JESUS the higher HE will become in our lives—if you look at Acts 1 this is the ascension of JESUS.

Though this physically took place, HE actually ascended in front of them. There is a spiritual implication, I believe we can pull from this for our daily lives

     v.9 it says that after HE had said these      things, HE's lifted up while they were      looking at HIM. They were looking at      HIM & HE was lifted up..

     HE was lifted up while they were look      -ing at HIM, I'm trying to tell you that      as we keep our attention & our gaze

     fixed upon CHRIST, HE will rise higher      & higher & higher in our lives higher      than all the things around us

     higher than all the things going on in      our government or in our nation—      higher than ourselves & others..

This is what is the greatest need is

     for CHRIST to be above everything      else including ourselves in our hearts

   •  we don't trust ourselves for guidance    •  we don't trust ourselves for obedience    •  we don't obey ourselves

We let CHRIST be lifted higher than us & others

This is happening in the heart that continually looks unto JESUS. Moses endured seeing HIM WHO was unseen.

1.]  Focus on JESUS, HE becomes Supreme

      So number one JESUS is lifted by staring at       HIM, the LORD said to me a couple months       back, HE said stare yourself deaf.

      I didn't know that a tumult & a torrential       downpour of voices from the enemy would       come to me & surround me.

      it felt like they were in me & above me &       around me—I didn't even know that was       coming. But JESUS said before this enemy       voice attack in my life,

      HE said stare yourself deaf

      We can look at JESUS so intently that we       can't hear the voice of the enemy, and I       would say also—the more we remove       our attention from the LORD JESUS, the       more we will hear the voice of the enemy

And as David says

      My soul is restless because of the voice       of the enemies. Let us stare ourselves       deaf — this means giving CHRIST the       highest place above everything.

That's going on everybody, around us & express it & especially above ourselves that's the one because the presence of GOD is experienced by those who are not focused on themselves!

In other words, consciousness of GOD's presence

Praise GOD! Consciousness of GOD's presence comes when we're no longer conscious of our -selves

     —we forget ourselves that we might see      HIM, oh in order for the bride to come out      of herself—she must forget herself

     O looking unto JESUS

2.] Long For HIS Return

But look what happens next v.10 & as they were gazing intently at the LORD—as they are gazing intently, they hear of the 2nd coming.

The Angels say,

     “This JESUS, WHOM has been taken up      into Heaven will come just in the same      way as you've watched HIM go.”

In other words, they receive a revelation of the coming of the LORD by staring at the LORD!

I want to submit to you that the more intently we gaze upon CHRIST—not only will HE be lifted higher than everything else in ourselves

—but also we will feel HIS second coming!

Maranatha pumps through the veins of those who stare at the KING, if the KING has all our attention then we expect anticipate & long for HIS coming! Praise GOD!

3.] Union with CHRIST Intercede for Others

Lastly v.14 when they return home from gazing intently upon the LORD, it says they continually devoted themselves to prayer!

They continually devoted themselves to prayer

So I feel like the life of prayer

     a life that is bathed in prayer literally      overwhelmed in unbroken conscious      union with the LORD & soaking other      things in prayer whatever we do

     we're doing it all with thanksgiving      unto the LORD & offering it to the      LORD & bathing everything in prayer

     it comes from a heart set & fixed upon      the MAN CHRIST JESUS & feeling the      fact that HE is returning

............................................................................. I would say that we are not a people of prayer to the degree we don't recognize HE's returning &

we are not a people of prayer to the degree HE's not lifted above everything around us & ourselves by gazing intently at HIM. .............................................................................

Those who pray are the ones who are looking unto JESUS, is in the life of prayer.

I've defined prayer often as conscious union just literally conscious of my union with HIM established by HIM, sustained by HIM.

I read in valley vision this morning that HIS work is everything--mine is to cling to HIM WHO is everything..

So all this to say:

     if we will look unto JESUS & stay fixed      steady staring, we will stare ourselves      deaf! HE will be lifted high above all      other things

We will feel & tremble with the expectation & anticipation of the return of the LORD & this'll make us a people of prayer!

Yes communion with GOD first & communion with GOD is the heart but also intercession praying for those that GOD has entrusted to us--it's just the highest delight!

I've often said that the essence of intercession is when the tears of CHRIST in Heaven come through my eyes on the Earth

or when the voice of the great intercessor in Heaven is echoed in the Earth by our lips!!!

4.] Closing Prayer

So FATHER thank YOU so much for the simplicity of this--that we can look unto JESUS & be saved & live in salvation & experience this wonderful & glorious salvation!

I praise YOU LORD!

I pray LORD, that YOU do something fresh; & every viewer show us where our gaze has been deviated or inconsistent & LORD show us the liberty & joy & peace & fulfillment that comes from just looking at YOU!

In YOUR precious Name, amen

P.S. You know one more thing just popped up in my       mind in 2 Corinthians 13, Paul says this amazing       thing he says examine yourselves!

      to see if you're in the faith, he's literally just       said you can look on the inside & see whether       or not you are born again.

      He says right here in v.5 test yourselves to see       if you were in the faith, examine yourself..

      •  think & look at your own life       •  look at your internals       •  look at what you are

      Then he says this or do you not recognize this about       yourself that JESUS CHRIST is in you. He is showing       us that the evidence of having been born again is       the recognition of CHRIST's Presence!

      O the recognition of CHRIST's presence that is not       only salvation itself because HE saved us from a       life apart from HIMSELF,

      But it is HIM WHO is salvation!

      possessed

      This is something that is perceived, we perceive       our possession of HIM WHO gave HIMSELF to us       that is the evidence & the anchor of our faith.

      The MAN CHRIST JESUS, not just theologically       but actually! Praise GOD! Thank YOU LORD for       this in the HOLY GHOST, I pray that those of you       that are watching that you would sense & feel       this reality. JESUS CHRIST is in you!

      Praise GOD, hey join us on Tuesday nights at 7 p.m       we sit together & we read the Scriptures & wait on       the LORD & we've been going through Psalm 119

      it's been incredible marked by the presence of the       LORD. Join us, I'll put a link down below if you want       to become one of our patreon supporters & joined       the mentoring group. GOD bless you guys

[2 Corinthians 13:5; 2 Peter 1:10-11]

   •  2 Corinthians 13:5 | Examine yourselves to        see whether you are in the faith; test your        selves. Can’t you see for yourselves JESUS        CHRIST is in you—unless you actually fail        the test?

   •  2 Peter 1:10-11 | Therefore, brothers, be        all the more eager to make your calling        & election sure. For if you practice these        things you will never stumble,¹¹ & you will        receive a lavish reception into the eternal        Kingdom of our LORD & SAVIOUR JESUS        CHRIST.

Eternal Assurance: Trusting in Christ Alone

Back in the early 90’s I faced a crisis as I held to a works-based salvation and constantly lived in fear of my eternal destiny. I had no assurance of my salvation because I never knew if I’d performed enough good works to validate my salvation. It was a terrible place to be. The solution came when I began to study the Scriptures carefully, stopped looking at myself, and fixed my “eyes on Jesus,…

Unaffected, Unmoved, Unavailable

When God created man, he made him in the likeness of God. Genesis 5:1 I will greatly rejoice in the Lord; my soul shall exult in my God, for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation; he has covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decks himself like a priest with a beautiful headdress, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.

"THE IMPORTANCE OF UNDERSTANDING AND KNOWLEDGE"

THE HOLY SPIRIT’S WORK IN JEREMIAH: God’s call and anointing upon Jeremiah’s life as a prophet began in the womb. God reveals to Jeremiah, “Before I formed you in the womb I knew [and] approved of you [as My chosen instrument], and before you were born I separated and set you apart, consecrating you; [and] I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.” (Jeremiah 1:5 AMPC). This reveals that the…

“The Scriptures say, “The earth and everything in it belong to the Lord.” —1 Corinthians 10:26 (CEV)

“But if I were you, I would appeal to God; I would lay my cause before him. He performs wonders that cannot be fathomed, miracles that cannot be counted.” —Job 5:8‭-‬9 (NIV)

EVERYTHING belongs to God, because He created everything. God's power is limitless (Job 36:22, Jer 31:35), it cannot be measured or understood by the human mind. He can perform wonders and miracles (Deut 10:21, Job 5:8-9) and makes a way where there is no way (Isa 43:19).

Friend, when you need help with ANYTHING, large or small pray to the One who created everything and knows everything. When you need a miracle and a way made where there is no way, ask the Way Maker. He alone has the power to help you, because He made you. God loves you. Amen! 🙌
