PSALM 105
3. Glory in His holy name; let the heart of those rejoice who seek and require the Lord as their indispensable necessity.
4. Seek, inquire of and for the Lord, and crave Him and His strength (His might and inflexibility to temptation, seek and require His face and His presence continually) evermore. Amp.
We are continually told to seek the Lord and His presence. What is the one key that stops His presence? The answer is sin. People just will not pay the price the Lord requires. So, His Church is desolate, empty and dry.
I have seen too much suffering of the people from Maui. The suffering they are experiencing is tragic and tremendously difficult to endure. But what is the true reason for their painful plight?
We are to obey the Word of God. If we choose our own way, if we continue in the flesh, if we do our own will and do not come out from this world and separate ourselves from the contaminating influences of this world, we will reap disaster.
We must choose His will for us. What does that mean? I know what it has meant for me! I have known the Lord for over 40 Years. He has taken my life and changed it inside and out.
He has taken me by the hand and said, “If you give Me this, I’ll give you this.” My life has a been a continual stage of giving Him this and giving Him that. He did it all while I was on a Daniel Fast that lasted a very long time. But it was a wonderful time that He drew near, and I would not trade it for anything this world could possibly offer.
He took many things away that I see others hanging onto. And then I see them living without the things I have been given. Then I see them go down to the altar and try to pray their troubles away. Not repent their troubles away or come out from this world and be separate or make the needed changes. They are hanging onto Jesus with one hand and the world with the other. It will not work. The Lord will be all because He is worthy. He must have first place.
They want family, career, TV, eating and drinking their favorite foods and Jesus and in that order.
What will happen when the government and the people who really run things decide to make your city a “Smart City.” What will happen when they micro\wave its people and neighborhoods but first send their children off to be sex slaves. This is the future of those who do not require Jesus as their indispensable necessity.
What is your Indispensable Necessity?
Who is your Refuge?
Who is your First Love?
Who do you serve?
Who do you pay homage to?
