Rise up, warrior!





Hello!

The Lord God Almighty is a warrior [Exodus 15:3 NIV ; Revelation 19:11 NIV]!

The most well known warrior of all times was King David [1 Chronicles 11, 12, 28 NIV]!

We are called to be 'a warrior,' too [Judges 6:12 NIV ; Judges 11:1 NIV ; 1 Samuel 16:18 NIV ; 2 Samuel 20:7 NIV , 2 Samuel 23:8 NIV ; 1 Chronicles 5:24 NIV ; 1 Chronicles 7:40 NIV ; 1 Chronicles 8:40 NIV]! "The great day of the Lord is near - near and coming quickly. The cry on the day of the Lord is bitter; the Mighty Warrior shouts his battle cry [Zepaniah 1:14 NIV]!" "The Lord your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves. He will take great delight in you; in his love he will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing [Zephaniah 3:17 NIV]!"

We are to be strong and mighty, as a warrior! "But the Lord is with me like a mighty warrior; so my persecutors will stumble and not prevail. They will fail and be thoroughly disgraced ; their dishonor will never be forgotten [Jeremiah 20:11 NIV]!" We do so by getting in His presence every chance we get!

Apostle Paul admonishes us to put on the full armor of God, that we may be able to stand in these last and evil days, in Ephesians 6:10-19 NIV. He also encourages us to pray in the Spirit, for the church and for each other, always...

We war by ---

1)  Casting down strongholds, breaking bondages, and destroying yokes:  with the words of our mouths! Strongholds are ways of thinking inconsistent with the Word of God. A bondage is  enslavement to a way of being or doing things that are not His! Yokes are those things which are at cross purposes with the Kingdom of Heaven. They can hinder us...

2)  Speaking light, and life into situations with His authority and power! We proclaim His Word as He has given it to us in the bible! We share His revelation knowledge; too, as revealed by the Holy Spirit!

Know this:  we cannot war effectively without both steps!

FEAR NOT to put on the mantle of God, doing His bidding! In our homes, in our neighborhoods, and in our workplaces! Wherever we are, and in whatever we do! For whatever is lost for His sake and the gospel's shall be returned 100 times over in this lifetime [Mark 10:30 KJV]! And; then, there is the eternal reward too!

Go, now! Ain't no words like the words to yourself! Just saying...

God loves, loves, loves you!

"Happy Today, and Happy Weekend!"

Shalom!

The King of our hearts





Hello!

Israel asked for a king like all of the other nations, rejecting God as their king [1 Samuel 8 NIV]. Samuel warned them; solemnly, that the king would want to "claim his rights!" The people refused to listen. God said, "Give them a king." Before King Saul was anointed as king, God worked through priests, prophets [Judges 4 NIV] or other leaders who ministered before the Lord on behalf of the people as needed. Each was able to do that which was right in the sight of the Lord. He was "the king of their hearts!"

I have often wondered what Israel would have become if they had continued on 'in the way of the Lord!'  God still wants to be "the king of our hearts!"

1)  "But if from there you seek the Lord your God, you will find him if you seek him with all your heart and with all your soul [Deuteronomy 4:29 NIV]!"

2)  "I love those who love me, and those who seek me find me [Proverbs 8:17 NIV]!"

3)  "You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart [Jeremiah 29:13 NIV]!"

4)  "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you [Matthew 7:7 NIV]!"

5)  "So I say to you:  ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you [Luke 11:9 NIV]!"

6)  "For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened [Luke 11:10 NIV]!"

7)  "God did this so that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us [Acts 17:27 NIV]!"

Through the highs and the lows, seek Him! Through thick and thin, seek Him! We will find Him! There is no substitute, for there is none like Him! If we stumble, let us right ourselves, and keep going - through Him! If we fall, let us get up, shake the dust off of our feet, and keep going - through Him! Giving up is not an option!

God loves, loves, loves you!

"Happy Today, and Happy Weekend!"

Shalom!

Truth, and nothing but!





Hello!

[The print in this blog is not the same in size, or boldness throughout as usual. I am not sure why, and I have not been able to correct it. I hope that it will not be too much of an inconvenience for you. Thank you for reading Even Greater Things...]   

Who is truth?

Our precious Lord & Savior Jesus Christ is truth! 

Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me [John 14:6 NIV]!"

What is truth?

Truth is the Spirit of God [the Holy Spirit], and freedom! 

"Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth is come, he will guide you into all truth:  for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak:  and he will shew you things to come [John 16:13 KJV]!"

"This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth [1 John 5:6 KJV!"

"And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free [John 8:32 KJV]!"

When does truth come?

Truth comes when the Comforter [the Holy Spirit] comes and dwells in us, and when we study the word of God! 

"But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me [John 15:26 KJV]!"

"Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth [2 Timothy 1:15 KJV]!"

Where does truth come from?

The truth dwells in us the believers, and we get it through the anointing! 

"Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you [John 14:17 KJV]!"

"But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him [1 John 2:27 KJV]!"

How does the truth come

Truth comes through God's saving grace, through the word as spoken and found in our precious Lord & Savior Jesus Christ, through scripture, and in worship!

"Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth [1 Timothy 2:4 KJV]!"

"If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus [Ephesians 4:21 KJV]!"

"And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father), full of grace and truth [John 1:14 KJV]!" 

"Sanctify them through thy truth:  thy word is truth [John 17:17 KJV]!"

"God is a Spirit:  and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth [John 4:24 KJV]!"

God loves, loves, loves you!

"Happy Today!"

"Happy Weekend!"

Shalom!
