GET TO KNOW YOUR FATHER IT IS WRITTEN: PSALMS 68 ~ NKJV Let God arise, Let His enemies be scattered; Let those also who hate Him flee before Him. As smoke is driven away, So drive them away; As wax melts before the fire, So let the wicked perish at the presence of God. But let the righteous be glad; Let them rejoice before God; Yes, let them rejoice exceedingly. Sing to God, sing praises to His name; Extol Him who rides on the clouds,[a] By His name YAH, And rejoice before Him. A father of the fatherless, a defender of widows, Is God in His holy habitation. God sets the solitary in families; He brings out those who are bound into prosperity; But the rebellious dwell in a dry land. O God, when You went out before Your people, When You marched through the wilderness, Selah The earth shook; The heavens also dropped rain at the presence of God; Sinai itself was moved at the presence of God, the God of Israel. You, O God, sent a plentiful rain, Whereby You confirmed Your inheritance, When it was weary. Your congregation dwelt in it; You, O God, provided from Your goodness for the poor. The Lord gave the word; Great was the company of those who proclaimed it: “Kings of armies flee, they flee, And she who remains at home divides the spoil. Though you lie down among the sheepfolds, You will be like the wings of a dove covered with silver, And her feathers with yellow gold.” When the Almighty scattered kings in it, It was white as snow in Zalmon. A mountain of God is the mountain of Bashan; A mountain of many peaks is the mountain of Bashan. Why do you fume with envy, you mountains of many peaks? This is the mountain which God desires to dwell in; Yes, the Lord will dwell in it forever. The chariots of God are twenty thousand, Even thousands of thousands; The Lord is among them as in Sinai, in the Holy Place. You have ascended on high, You have led captivity captive; You have received gifts among men, Even from the rebellious, That the Lord God might dwell there. Blessed be the Lord, Who daily loads us with benefits, The God of our salvation! Selah Our God is the God of salvation; And to GOD the Lord belong escapes from death. But God will wound the head of His enemies, The hairy scalp of the one who still goes on in his trespasses. The Lord said, “I will bring back from Bashan, I will bring them back from the depths of the sea, That your foot may crush them[b] in blood, And the tongues of your dogs may have their portion from your enemies.” They have seen Your procession, O God, The procession of my God, my King, into the sanctuary. The singers went before, the players on instruments followed after; Among them were the maidens playing timbrels. Bless God in the congregations, The Lord, from the fountain of Israel. There is little Benjamin, their leader, The princes of Judah and their company, The princes of Zebulun and the princes of Naphtali. Your God has commanded[c] your strength; Strengthen, O God, what You have done for us. Because of Your temple at Jerusalem, Kings will bring presents to You. Rebuke the beasts of the reeds, The herd of bulls with the calves of the peoples, Till everyone submits himself with pieces of silver. Scatter the peoples who delight in war. Envoys will come out of Egypt; Ethiopia will quickly stretch out her hands to God. Sing to God, you kingdoms of the earth; Oh, sing praises to the Lord, Selah. To Him who rides on the heaven of heavens, which were of old! Indeed, He sends out His voice, a mighty voice. Ascribe strength to God; His excellence is over Israel, And His strength is in the clouds. O God, You are more awesome than Your holy places. The God of Israel is He who gives strength and power to His people. Blessed be God! Why are you running from place to place and person to person looking for love? Have you not heard? He has speaking to you through your circumstance. He is the One you need when life has wounded you and you have fallen from your RESTING PLACE like a bird. It is His hand that catches the falling soul. Then He carries it to the wind and commands it to fly again. It is a shame that we as Believers have moved so far away from the Masterful Plan of Salvation. We need to teach again the Marvelous plan of salvation~~not just the recipe of salvation, the repeat-after-me recipes that soon become canned and cold. We need to teach the chemistry of salvation. An eternal God chose YOU before you were ever born. His hand-picked bride~~that is what YOU ARE. YOU HAVE BEEN SELECTED~~NOT WILL BE. YOU ARE SELECTED. YOU ARE NOT running for office. You are chosen. YOU NEED TO KNOW YOUR FATHER. YOU KNOW so much about THE CHURCH, and that is great. The Church is the other who held you in her womb and carried you with her grace. She has fed you the sincere milk from her breast. The milk of the Word has caused you to grow (see 1Peter 2:1-3). That is wonderful, but I am concerned because raised up too many children in the Kingdom who know so much about their mother. And worse, there are too many in this generation who know nothing and are not concerned because they are being schooled by others, the streets, and TV; because they have never been taught or carried to the Church. Those who have been know when to worship; they know when when to sit and when to stand. They know all about the social order and politics. They are full of church history and programs but they know nothing of their Father. If the church is your mother, as glorious as she is, you still need to know your Father. HE IS THE ONE WHO produced the seed of HIS WORD that caused YOU to come into being. It is HIS NAME YOU INHERIT, and YOUR CALLING upon HIS NAME opens up ALL OF HEAVEN. It is HE who CARRIES YOU and DELIVERS YOU. If you are insecure, it is because you have spent so much time nestled near your mother tenderness that YOU HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED your Fathers strength HE IS strong and mighty. HE IS YOUR FATHER, and the devil CANT STOP HIM!!! AMEN!!!
