O Give Thanks Unto the Lord

Psalm 105:1-45 (King James Version)


1O give thanks unto the LORD; call upon his name: make known his deeds among the people.
2Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him: talk ye of all his wondrous works.
3Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD.
4Seek the LORD, and his strength: seek his face evermore.
5Remember his marvellous works that he hath done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;
6O ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye children of Jacob his chosen.
7He is the LORD our God: his judgments are in all the earth.
8He hath remembered his covenant for ever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations.
9Which covenant he made with Abraham, and his oath unto Isaac;
10And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant:
11Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance:
12When they were but a few men in number; yea, very few, and strangers in it.
13When they went from one nation to another, from one kingdom to another people;
14He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes;
15Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.
16Moreover he called for a famine upon the land: he brake the whole staff of bread.
17He sent a man before them, even Joseph, who was sold for a servant:
18Whose feet they hurt with fetters: he was laid in iron:
19Until the time that his word came: the word of the LORD tried him.
20The king sent and loosed him; even the ruler of the people, and let him go free.
21He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all his substance:
22To bind his princes at his pleasure; and teach his senators wisdom.
23Israel also came into Egypt; and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.
24And he increased his people greatly; and made them stronger than their enemies.
25He turned their heart to hate his people, to deal subtilly with his servants.
26He sent Moses his servant; and Aaron whom he had chosen.
27They shewed his signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham.
28He sent darkness, and made it dark; and they rebelled not against his word.
29He turned their waters into blood, and slew their fish.
30Their land brought forth frogs in abundance, in the chambers of their kings.
31He spake, and there came divers sorts of flies, and lice in all their coasts.
32He gave them hail for rain, and flaming fire in their land.
33He smote their vines also and their fig trees; and brake the trees of their coasts.
34He spake, and the locusts came, and caterpillers, and that without number,
35And did eat up all the herbs in their land, and devoured the fruit of their ground.
36He smote also all the firstborn in their land, the chief of all their strength.
37He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and there was not one feeble person among their tribes.
38Egypt was glad when they departed: for the fear of them fell upon them
39He spread a cloud for a covering; and fire to give light in the night.
40The people asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
41He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out; they ran in the dry places like a river.
42For he remembered his holy promise, and Abraham his servant.
43And he brought forth his people with joy, and his chosen with gladness: 44And gave them the lands of the heathen: and they inherited the labour of the people;
45That they might observe his statutes, and keep his laws. Praise ye the LORD.

GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST



As the holidays approaches lets us remember the true meaning of Christmas. We must not forget that it is Jesus birthday ? God doesn’t want you to be unhappy, alone, sad or depressed this Christmas.

Don’t be stressed out about lack of money to buy gifts; when God has already given us the biggest gift of all:
       

                          Luke 2:10-11


     10And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.


      11For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.



Help Me To Understand
What It Means To Except Jesus As My Savior
Sin separates us from God (Rom 3:23). God demonstrated His Love for us. While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. (Rom 5:8) . We are saved by asking God to forgive us of our sins; if you forgive others their sins, your Father will forgive you. ( Matthew 6:14-15)


If you declare with your mouth “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. (Romans 10:9-10)
• "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."[Rom. 10:13]
• God gives eternal life because Jesus Christ atoned for our sin: "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."

The Lord is Upright

The Lord is My Source


Psalm 92:12-15

12The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.

13Those that be planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God.

14They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing;

15To shew that the LORD is upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.

The True Meaning of the Fear of God

The True Meaning of the Fear of God

Prov 14:27

The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.


Proverbs 1:7

7The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

Just as the force of the current in a flowing stream of water washes away all obstacles in its paths so to; the fear of God will remove all the snares of death from a person.

The fear of God warns a person to turn away from sins and transgression which are the snares of death. Fear of God results in wisdom, through which a person can attain eternal life. Needless to say if the snares of death are removed, then certainly the fear of God will protect one from lesser pitfalls and obstacles as well.

If there is any weakness in a building’s foundation, the slightest stress will place the entire structure in danger of collapse. So, too, if a person is weak, even the slightest doubt will confuse him causing his faith to collapse and overturn his entire belief system.

Fear of God is the belief in Him and the questioning acceptance and fulfillment of His dictates. Shnas-chayim regards this statement as the motive for proper conduct.

To know about God and as a result of this knowledge to subordinate ourselves to Him is what is meant by the Fear of God, and the beginning of all knowledge.

One who lacks fear of God and does not worry about avoiding sin will not attain wisdom even after repeated study. His success in attaining correction is unimportant to him. Let him not become frustrated by the over-whelming effort needed. Let him rather continue to apply himself ever so diligently ….until slowly but steadily he attains it.

The people who lack fear of God, these people are doubtors, skeptical about wisdom and fear of God. Their skepticism does not allow them to accept teachings of wisdom and discipline, which are predicted on recognition and fear of God and which allow man to be open and responsive to His wisdom.

The fear of God will increase days, someone who fears God will merit additional days of life beyond those normally allotted to him, for Divine Providence will protect him from happenings that would have caused his death, but the wicked ones their years will be shortened. (Prov 10:27-28)

Be Ye Reconcile to God

Romans 3:23-26

3:24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:

3:25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;

3:26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.

Jesus Christ redeemed us; we have been reconciled to God and our sins has been blotted out. No more guilt, shame oe condemnation.

The blood alone has done everything. The sinner who turns from his sins to God needs only faith in the blood. Through faith one knows that he is fully reconciled to God; He is able to pour out the fulness of His Love.
Through faith in His blood he becomes partakers of all the blessings which the blood has obtained for him from God. Jesus Christ himself as a reconciliation through faith in His blood He is the reconciliation for our sins.

2 Cor 5:19-20

19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.

5:20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.

Reconciliation means to exchange, restoration, favor, and atonement.

Rely on Jesus Christ as having already covered your sin or that His blood was the exchange for your sins; He gave His blood and took your sins.

So therefore Jesus Christ and the shedding of His blood washed away all your sins. Now the living Christ and the powerful effects which the blood has done will be increasingly manifested in your heart.

If you have not received Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savor ask Him now to be your Savior. Repent of your sins and desire to be delivered from sins power and bondage, exercise your faith in the blood. Open your heart and the blood can deliver you this moment. The blood restores you immediately into His Presence.


Footnotes:

He is a Faithful God means to foster as parent, to trust or believe, to buid up, assurance, stedfast

Hebrews 11:1

Faith- persuasion, credence, moral conviction, truth, truthfulness of God, especially reliance upon Christ for salvation, assurance, belief

Bring God's People Home to Israel

Bringing God's People home to Israel

The nation of Israel Reborn

Ezek 36:8-11

8 But ye, O mountains of Israel, ye shall shoot forth your branches, and yield your fruit to my people of Israel; for they are at hand to come.

9 For, behold, I am for you, and I will turn unto you, and ye shall be tilled and sown:

10 And I will multiply men upon you, all the house of Israel, even all of it: and the cities shall be inhabited, and the wastes shall be builded:

11 And I will multiply upon you man and beast; and they shall increase and bring fruit: and I will settle you after your old estates, and will do better unto you than at your beginnings: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.


When Israel reappeared as a nation in May 1948, it was no surprise - the event was prophesied

Isaiah 11:12

And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.

The Hebrew language restored

Zeph 3:9 For then will I turn to the people a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of the LORD, to serve him with one consent.

It was a prophetic word that prepared us for the restoration of the Hebrew language.

The Third Temple Will Be Built

Isaiah spoke of a temple in the latter days.

Isaiah 2:2-3

2 And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD's house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.

2:3 And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.

Israel will be surrounded by enemy nations

Psalms 83:4-5

4 They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.

5 For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee:

Many nations and kingdoms have planned to wipe out Israel but they will not succeed.

Zech 12:2-3

2 Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem.

3 And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.

The nations that come against Jerusalem shall all be destroyed according to Zech 12:9 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.

Abundance will come out of the desert

Isaiah 35:1-2

1 The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose.

2 It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing: the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon, they shall see the glory of the LORD, and the excellency of our God.

God has said Israel will survive and His people will be restored.

Isaiah 49:16-17

16 Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me.

(49:17) Thy children shall make haste; thy destroyers and they that made thee waste shall go forth of thee.

Join me in pray today for financial help for Jewish people to return home safely to Israel.. Today, we will say Lord "we will rescue your people"

Thank you Lord you rescued me and now by Your grace given unto me many others will be saved by Your grace through faith in Jesus Christ. Amen
