“‭Have you not known? Have you not heard? The everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, does not faint or grow weary; there is no searching of His understanding.” God does not get tired. In the bible it says, He rested on the seventh day of creating mankind and the restructuring of earth, because it was with our form and empty before mankind arrived (Genesis 1:2). This doesn’t mean He was tired, He just stepped back from His works of creation to observe and appreciate His handy work, and He said, it was good. God does not faint or grow weary like us. We must recharge from time to time by sleeping and or eating. We must have time to recover from all the busyness of life. When we try to keep going day after day with very little sleep or eating properly, we get our body and mind into trouble. Our decision making becomes impaired, and our body feels like extra unnecessary weight to carry around. Our spiritual edification is also vitally important to stay fit on every level of our make-up. Our new recreated human spirit must meditate on the word of God to stay nourished, healthy and energized for strong faith battles. As we are connected to the Vine, who is the Lord Jesus Christ, we as branches draw our spiritual sustenance for healthy survival, strength, and much productivity in purpose and destiny (John 15:5-7). As long as we are getting proper sleep, exercise, and eating properly, our connection with God will do the rest. We are made in God’s image and likeness but unlike the Lord, we get worn out from life’s difficulties. God does not faint or grow weary, so stay connected to Him at all costs.

“‭Who is [He then] this King of glory? The Lord of hosts, He is the King of glory. Selah [pause, and think of that]!” The King of glory is the Lord God all mighty. He deserves all the glory for the things He has done. He created everything and everyone. Not one thing living, has its existence without the King of Glory giving it life. He is to be glorified because of His mighty exploits dealing with mankind in the past and today. He caused us to be translated from a death doomed position in eternity, to becoming the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus, unto everlasting life with Himself forever. This alone should make Him the King of glory in our eyes. He is also the Lord of hosts, which means, He’s the God of battles. Our existence on planet earth is nothing less than a war zone for christians. Our enemy, Satan, has a malicious intent to get even with God for kicking him out of heaven. We are God’s most precious creation, being made in His image and likeness (Genesis 1:26-27). We have also taken the devil’s position of praise and worship leaders for God’s church (Ezekiel 28:13-15). Lucifer, being his name before he fell out with God, was the praise and worship leader in heaven (with instruments built in him), before getting booted out down to the earth. The devil hates us now. You’re in a battle whether you know it or not. We’re on the side of the God of battles. He is almighty and we are in Christ, positioned for victory.

“‭Yet the Lord is faithful, and He will strengthen [you] and set you on a firm foundation and guard you from the evil [one].” Because God is faithful, He will strengthen us, and protect us from the evil one. The Lord sets us on a firm foundation as we trust in Him. The enemy knows when we are trusting in God for help. Our demeanor would be that of a calm posture full of faith believing. Our words will always give us away if we are not trusting in God. We may initially pray about a situation and right after we say amen, the next words out of our month are, I don’t know what I’m going to do. You never believed God was gonna help you or you would have trusted in the prayer you prayed. Our confession must line up with what we’ve prayed for. We thank God for answering our prayer even if things look worse after praying. Through faith and patience we obtain the promises of God (Hebrews 6:12). While you’re waiting for your prayers to be answered you must stay faithful to what you’ve prayed about. Many times God is about to manifest the answered prayer and then you decide this doesn’t work. That’s called weak faith, you didn’t wait long enough. One thing I’ve learned in dealing with the Lord, if you decide to wait forever for answered prayer, it won’t take that long at all. He always comes through on His time table not ours. The Lord is faithful.

“‭Praised (honored, blessed) be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah)! By His boundless mercy we have been born again to an ever-living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead…” Because of the boundless mercy of the Lord we have a living hope. We have a living hope because of His sacrifice at Calvary. Jesus is the hope of glory having been raised from the dead, He bought us freedom from our sin nature, and has provided hope for us to live victorious lives. Hopelessness comes to all who live in constant fear, or doubt, and without any direction in life. Our purpose is what drives us, it’s what gives us reason to live. Your destiny is fueled by your God given purpose. Once we understand our purpose and have a clear direction on how to proceed, you will not be a hopeless somebody. Hopelessness is an internal yearning for the fellowship and communion of the Lord. Most of us are so lost in hopelessness there’s no way we can naturally get out of it. God must be involved in some way for you to get delivered. Once we have the revelation of what cavalry has truly provided for us, that’s all the hope in the world we need to go forward in life. God is for you, no one can be against you successfully (Romans 8:31).

“‭But the Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, Standby), the Holy Spirit, Whom the Father will send in My name [in My place, to represent Me and act on My behalf], He will teach you all things. And He will cause you to recall (will remind you of, bring to your remembrance) everything I have told you.” The Holy Spirit is a part of the Godhead. He, the Spirit, was the power behind creation. He is our advocate, our teacher, our standby, and He processes all the deep things of God the Father. Jesus being another part of the Godhead, came to walk the earth to get a one on one experience in understanding the fallen state of man on our level. The Holy Spirit overshadowed Mary, the mother of Jesus to provide the seed to Father Jesus in this natural realm. Without the Holy Spirit’s presence in the earth, the evil would run more rampant than it is now. Once the Holy Spirit is taken up out of the earth, the rapture will have occurred and evil will have full reign for the anti-christ to perform his miracles talked about in scriptures (2 Thessalonians 2:9 AMP). The precious Holy Spirit is how God is able to be omnipresent. He’s everywhere at the same time. The Holy Spirit is our teacher of the deep things of God. Going to church or bible studies should be for the purpose of confirming that which we’ve learned at home having studied and receiving revelation knowledge from the Holy Spirit speaking to our human spirit. This is for the deeper life in God but it should be the normal level of seeking the Lord. We have been given so much help that pertains to life and godliness (through the scriptures) that we are without excuse not to grow in Christ. To be taught ALL things should be understood as the highest level of what is most valuable, concerning everything and anything in this life. To understand what makes life tick is an accomplished goal of the rarest kind. Allow the Comforter to do His job.

“‭BLOW THE trumpet in Zion; sound an alarm on My holy Mount [Zion]. Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble, for the day of [the judgment of] the Lord is coming; it is close at hand–”. This verse was written back in old testament times way before Jesus walked the earth. This is the call for God’s family to come home. It’s when the rapture takes place and the family of God is swept up into the next life to be with the Lord forever. It is that time when all those who have not received Jesus as Lord and Savior of their lives will perish. The sound of the trumpet will be heard all over the world. Judgement day is not far off looking at current events in the world. This battle Israel is going through today is the last major battle before the return of Christ which is talked about in the bible. Once we have transitioned into the next life from these earth body suits, the real you continues to live on. If you have not received Jesus before your soul leaves your body, it’s too late. Judgement will take its rightful position concerning your previous life on earth. You may have accomplished the greatest humanitarian works, and helped little old ladies across the street everyday, you’ll still wind up in hell forever without Jesus. He is the way, the truth, and the life. Let all who live in the land tremble, for the day of the Lord is coming.

“‭And He went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and preaching the good news (Gospel) of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every weakness and infirmity among the people.” Jesus’ job or assignment, was to spread the gospel. And while He was spreading it, He was fulfilling the prophecy concerning Himself in doing so (Luke 4:16-21). The great commission given to all Christians is to spread the good news of the gospel. God is aware of the life struggles we deal with in this world today. He understood the horrors connected to His people Israel when they were enslaved by the Egyptians. He made a way for their escape, and He’s made a way for us to escape the things that hold us back in life as well. The Kingdom of God is within us (Luke 17:20-21 NKJV) and can be utilized for living above the evil in this world. Our job as christians is to help others understand there’s another way to live in this world without unnecessary problems. We will all experience hardship and mind blowing challenges in this world, but He made a way out of no way for us all. Many people don’t want to hear about Jesus or the gospel. Satan has released a dampening evil spirit in this world that makes you uncomfortable talking about religion of any kind. The devil plays totally unfairly. We cannot live about the evil he has created on earth without the word of God in our hearts and minds. The gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ is the only way to beat Satan at his own game. The sleep walkers in this life need to wake up to the reality of this world’s back story. There’s evil and good, by not choosing good (the gospel), you have already chosen evil. There’s no in between with God (Revelation 3:16).

“‭Your kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” If God’s will was done on earth as it is in heaven, all the world’s problems would be put to bed. Peace on earth would be experienced by everyone. People wouldn’t be at each other’s throats over trivial things. In God’s kingdom there’s a different mentality and order for living in this present world. Once we put into action the rules of the kingdom we will always come out on top of things victoriously. Through the Lord’s teachings and precepts we find wisdom, and strategies on how to deal with opposition, stress, lack, disorder, and every known life problem there is here on earth. Sounds too good to be true. It is too good to be true for the doubters of His word. But by unlocking or unleashing our faith in trusting the Lord, all things are possible to him or her that believe. The kingdom of God works by “faith demands”. The confession of a faith filled believer of God’s word is unstoppable even by Satan himself. The only thing that responds to evil opposition, lack, disorder, stressful situations, is God’s living word off the lips of the christian who knows their authority in Christ. The Lord’s kingdom is within us now for the fortification of the god-given purpose in his children (Luke 17:20-21NKJV). If we never tap into that resource, which was provided in advance by God, we live way below our potential in life. There’s a time coming in the near future based on current events in the world, that God will set up His physical Kingdom on earth. But today we still have work to do before the return of Jesus.

“And now, Lord, what do I wait for and expect? My hope and expectation are in You.” Our hope and expectation is in the Lord. What we should look for is always in Him. Whatever we are to become is in the Lord. When our hope is in the Lord our desires and needs are met according to His riches in glory. We have an inheritance in God. He said, the earth is the Lord’s and the fullness there of (Psalm 24:1). We are joint heirs with Christ, so our material needs are already provided for, and our financial stability is in Him. Our confident favorable expectations are never left unfulfilled when we put our faith behind it. Hope is the for runner of our faith, because faith is the substance of things hoped for. Without our faith in believing there’s nothing to bring manifestation to our desired outcome. Hope is connected to our desired outcome, or you can say, it is our confident favorable expectation which causes inevitable manifestation of what we want, when held steady. The word of God tells us, “But my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory.….” (Philippians 4:19). But without faith and hope in this scripture, we will not profit from its truth. We make statements like, “I’ve given up hope on that”, and the worst confession from our lips is, “This is hopeless”. These programmed negative statements we’ve picked up over time are crippling declarations that block God’s help. Our hope must be in God no matter what things look like. As long as God breathes your situation is not hopeless.

“‭A friend loves at all times, and is born, as is a brother, for adversity.” A friend loves at all times. Does your friend show their love when you’ve publicly made an embarrassing mistake. The word is out all over town what “so and so” did. A close friend will help walk you through that self inflicted trouble you’re dealing with. But those who keep smiling in your face and talk about what you did like dog, they’re not your friend. They are an acquaintance, a shady acquaintance I might add. A friend who loves at all times will keep you lifted up in prayer and physically be there as a sounding board for you to express the issue. They won’t judge you because of your offensive behavior or down right mean or insensitive, very messed up actions. We all can fall into various temptations but when we yield to that temptation, it becomes sin. The accuser of the brethren, who is Satan, will see to it that your sin is broadcast throughout the land, that’s his job. Thank God for (1John 1:9), it was written to christians when we miss the mark through wrong doings. We are not exempt from still sinning because of the sin nature still in our bodies. The more we get our flesh under control, the less we will be prone to mess up. Take control of yourself on every level of your makeup. Your new recreated human spirit should be the captain of your ship. Your soul takes orders from your spirit, and your body carries out the action. If your body is in control, sin is at the door.
