DAY 301 - THREE HUNDRED AND ONE DAYS STAYING COMMITTED AND CONVICTED BY THE HOLY, PROPHETIC WORD OF GOD! I DONT KNOW WHAT YOU CAME TO DO - BUT I CAME TO PRAISE THE LORD! PS 148:1 Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord from the heavens! Praise him from the skies! 2 Praise him, all his angels! Praise him, all the armies of heaven! 3 Praise him, sun and moon! Praise him, all you twinkling stars! 4 Praise him, skies above! Praise him, vapors high above the clouds! 5 Let every created thing give praise to the Lord, for he issued his command, and they came into being. 6 He set them in place forever and ever. His decree will never be revoked. 7 Praise the Lord from the earth, you creatures of the ocean depths, 8 fire and hail, snow and clouds,[a] wind and weather that obey him, 9 mountains and all hills, fruit trees and all cedars, 10 wild animals and all livestock, small scurrying animals and birds, 11 kings of the earth and all people, rulers and judges of the earth, 12 young men and young women, old men and children. 13 Let them all praise the name of the Lord. For his name is very great; his glory towers over the earth and heaven! 14 He has made his people strong, honoring his faithful ones— the people of Israel who are close to him. WOW! SO PROFOUND! USE YOUR WORDS WISELY - LET YOUR WORDS CHANGE THEM - DONT CHANGE YOUR WORDS TO SUIT THEM! JEREMIAH 15:19 Use words truly and well. Don’t stoop to cheap whining. Then, but only then, you’ll speak for me. Let your words change them. Don’t change your words to suit them. I’ll turn you into a steel wall, a thick steel wall, impregnable. They’ll attack you but won’t put a dent in you because I’m at your side, defending and delivering.” God’s Decree. “I’ll deliver you from the grip of the wicked. I’ll get you out of the clutch of the ruthless.” FOR THOSE WHO TRUST IN GOD.... JEREMIAH 17:7-8 “But blessed is the man who trusts me, God, the woman who sticks with God. They’re like trees replanted in Eden, putting down roots near the rivers— Never a worry through the hottest of summers, never dropping a leaf, Serene and calm through droughts, bearing fresh fruit every season. I LOVE IT WHEN PEOPLE SAY GOD KNOWS MY HEART .... JEREMIAH 17:9-10 “The heart is hopelessly dark and deceitful, a puzzle that no one can figure out. But I, God, search the heart and examine the mind. I get to the heart of the human. I get to the root of things. I treat them as they really are, not as they pretend to be.” YOURE IN THE ARMY NOW!!! NOT UNCLE SAM - BUT FATHER GOD! 2 TIMOTHY 2:1-7 So, my son, throw yourself into this work for Christ. Pass on what you heard from me—the whole congregation saying Amen!—to reliable leaders who are competent to teach others. When the going gets rough, take it on the chin with the rest of us, the way Jesus did. A soldier on duty doesn’t get caught up in making deals at the marketplace. He concentrates on carrying out orders. An athlete who refuses to play by the rules will never get anywhere. It’s the diligent farmer who gets the produce. Think it over. God will make it all plain. THIS IS A SURE THING! 2 TIMOTHY 2:10 This is a sure thing: If we die with him, we’ll live with him;If we stick it out with him, we’ll rule with him; If we turn our backs on him, he’ll turn his back on us;If we give up on him, he does not give up—for there’s no way he can be false to himself. IF YOUR WORDS ARE NOT BACKED UP BY A GODLY LIFE, THEY ACCUMULATE AS POISON IN THE SOUL!!! 2 TIMOTHY 2:14-18 Repeat these basic essentials over and over to God’s people. Warn them before God against pious nitpicking, which chips away at the faith. It just wears everyone out. Concentrate on doing your best for God, work you won’t be ashamed of, laying out the truth plain and simple. Stay clear of pious talk that is only talk. Words are not mere words, you know. If they’re not backed by a godly life, they accumulate as poison in the soul. MAKE ME YOUR VESSEL OF HONOR OH GOD - YOUR VESSEL OF HONOR OH GOD! PURIFIED, HOLY, SO I MIGHT BE YOUR VESSEL OF HONOR OH GOD! 2 TIMOTHY 2:19 Meanwhile, God’s firm foundation is as firm as ever, these sentences engraved on the stones: God knows who belongs to him. spurn evil, all you who name God as God. 20-21 In a well-furnished kitchen there are not only crystal goblets and silver platters, but waste cans and compost buckets—some containers used to serve fine meals, others to take out the garbage. Become the kind of container God can use to present any and every kind of gift to his guests for their blessing. BE PATIENT - YOU NEVER KNOW HOW OR WHEN GOD MIGHT SOBER THEM UP WITH A CHANGE OF HEART AND A TURNING TO THE TRUTH, ENABLING THEM TO ESCAPE THE DEVILS TRAP.... 2 TIMOTHY 2:22-26 Run away from infantile indulgence. Run after mature righteousness—faith, love, peace—joining those who are in honest and serious prayer before God. Refuse to get involved in inane discussions; they always end up in fights. God’s servant must not be argumentative, but a gentle listener and a teacher who keeps cool, working firmly but patiently with those who refuse to obey. You never know how or when God might sober them up with a change of heart and a turning to the truth, enabling them to escape the Devil’s trap, where they are caught and held captive, forced to run his errands. GOD GIVES HIS PEOPLE STRENGTH! PS 28:6 Praise the Lord! For he has heard my cry for mercy. 7 The Lord is my strength and shield. I trust him with all my heart. He helps me, and my heart is filled with joy. I burst out in songs of thanksgiving. 8 The Lord gives his people strength. He is a safe fortress for his anointed king. 9 Save your people! Bless Israel, your special possession.[a] Lead them like a shepherd, and carry them in your arms forever. THERE IS A REWARD FOR THOSE WHO LIVE FOR GOD! PS 58:11 “There truly is a reward for those who live for God; surely there is a God who judges justly here on earth.” GIVE THANKS TO THE LORD - FOR HE IS GOOD - HIS FAITHFUL LOVE ENDURES FOREVER!!! PS 118:1 Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good! His faithful love endures forever. 2 Let all Israel repeat: “His faithful love endures forever.” 3 Let Aaron’s descendants, the priests, repeat: “His faithful love endures forever.” 4 Let all who fear the Lord repeat: “His faithful love endures forever.” 5 In my distress I prayed to the Lord, and the Lord answered me and set me free. 6 The Lord is for me, so I will have no fear. What can mere people do to me? 7 Yes, the Lord is for me; he will help me. I will look in triumph at those who hate me. 8 It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in people. 9 It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in princes. 10 Though hostile nations surrounded me, I destroyed them all with the authority of the Lord. 11 Yes, they surrounded and attacked me, but I destroyed them all with the authority of the Lord. 12 They swarmed around me like bees; they blazed against me like a crackling fire. But I destroyed them all with the authority of the Lord. 13 My enemies did their best to kill me, but the Lord rescued me. 14 The Lord is my strength and my song; he has given me victory. 15 Songs of joy and victory are sung in the camp of the godly. The strong right arm of the Lord has done glorious things! 16 The strong right arm of the Lord is raised in triumph. The strong right arm of the Lord has done glorious things! 17 I will not die; instead, I will live to tell what the Lord has done. 18 The Lord has punished me severely, but he did not let me die. 19 Open for me the gates where the righteous enter, and I will go in and thank the Lord. 20 These gates lead to the presence of the Lord, and the godly enter there. 21 I thank you for answering my prayer and giving me victory! 22 The stone that the builders rejected has now become the cornerstone. 23 This is the Lord’s doing, and it is wonderful to see. 24 This is the day the Lord has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it. 25 Please, Lord, please save us. Please, Lord, please give us success. 26 Bless the one who comes in the name of the Lord. We bless you from the house of the Lord. 27 The Lord is God, shining upon us. Take the sacrifice and bind it with cords on the altar. 28 You are my God, and I will praise you! You are my God, and I will exalt you! 29 Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good! His faithful love endures forever. NOW A WORD TO THE WISE - GODLY WISDOM FROM PROVERBS 28: PROVERBS 28:1The wicked run away when no one is chasing them, but the godly are as bold as lions. 2 When there is moral rot within a nation, its government topples easily. But wise and knowledgeable leaders bring stability. 3 A poor person who oppresses the poor is like a pounding rain that destroys the crops. 4 To reject the law is to praise the wicked; to obey the law is to fight them. 5 Evil people don’t understand justice, but those who follow the Lord understand completely. 6 Better to be poor and honest than to be dishonest and rich. 7 Young people who obey the law are wise; those with wild friends bring shame to their parents.[a] 8 Income from charging high interest rates will end up in the pocket of someone who is kind to the poor. 9 God detests the prayers of a person who ignores the law. 10 Those who lead good people along an evil path will fall into their own trap, but the honest will inherit good things. 11 Rich people may think they are wise, but a poor person with discernment can see right through them. 12 When the godly succeed, everyone is glad. When the wicked take charge, people go into hiding. PROVERBS 28:13 People who conceal their sins will not prosper, but if they confess and turn from them, they will receive mercy. FEAR OF GOD IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE!!!! PROVERBS 28:14 Blessed are those who fear to do wrong, but the stubborn are headed for serious trouble. 15 A wicked ruler is as dangerous to the poor as a roaring lion or an attacking bear. 16 A ruler with no understanding will oppress his people, but one who hates corruption will have a long life. 17 A murderer’s tormented conscience will drive him into the grave. Don’t protect him! 18 The blameless will be rescued from harm, but the crooked will be suddenly destroyed. 19 A hard worker has plenty of food, but a person who chases fantasies ends up in poverty. TRUSTING THE LORD LEADS TO PROSPERITY! PROVERBS 28:20 The trustworthy person will get a rich reward, but a person who wants quick riches will get into trouble. 22 Greedy people try to get rich quick but don’t realize they’re headed for poverty. 25 Greed causes fighting; trusting the Lord leads to prosperity. 21 Showing partiality is never good, yet some will do wrong for a mere piece of bread. 22 Greedy people try to get rich quick but don’t realize they’re headed for poverty. 23 In the end, people appreciate honest criticism far more than flattery. 24 Anyone who steals from his father and mother and says, “What’s wrong with that?” is no better than a murderer. 25 Greed causes fighting; trusting the Lord leads to prosperity. 26 Those who trust their own insight are foolish, but anyone who walks in wisdom is safe. 27 Whoever gives to the poor will lack nothing, but those who close their eyes to poverty will be cursed. 28 When the wicked take charge, people go into hiding. When the wicked meet disaster, the godly flourish.
