Background
I will like to encourage God’s people.
Scripture
Proverbs
Proverbs 10
- 16 The labor of the righteous leads to life,
but the gain of the wicked brings punishment. - 18 The one who conceals hatred has lying lips,
and whoever spreads slander is a fool. - 19 When words are many, sin is unavoidable,
but he who restrains his lips is wise. - 22 Link
- The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich,
And he addeth no sorrow with it. - The blessing of the LORD enriches,
and He adds no sorrow to it.
- The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich,
- 25 When the whirlwind passes, the wicked are no more,
but the righteous are secure forever. - 32 The lips of the righteous know what is fitting,
but the mouth of the wicked is perverse.
Healing, Redemption, Defense
Lord, only you can cleanse and heal each of us from the sins that so easily covets, entraps, and ultimately defeats us.
I know many are dealing with the multiple layers of sins, lies and perversions that Satan and his minions plant and water daily.
God may you step into the lives of your creation and heal our brokenness, defects, blindness, and deafness.
Father God, your word clearly and authoritatively bears witness to eternal damnation that awaits those who plant, peddle, and profit from these lies.
When asked as to who can be saved, your word has an important anchor, a qualifier:-
- If those days had not been lightened, no one would survive, yet for the sake of the elect
Matthew 24:22 ( Link ) - Listen to the words of the unjust judge.
Will not God bring about justice for His elect who cry out to Him day and night? Will He continue to defer their help?
I tell you, He will promptly carry out justice on their behalf.
Matthew 18:7 ( Link ) - Those who heard this asked, “Who then can be saved?”
But Jesus said, “What is impossible with man is possible with God.”…
Luke 18:26 ( Link ) - Whoever accepts His testimony has certified that God is truthful.
For the One whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God gives the Spirit without limit.
John 3:33 ( Link )
Your Son indemnifies your Word.
Each time asked, he answers that outside of you, all is lost.
Yet he promises you will act in just.
As for you, the plainness of just is joy.
Father God, may you be the redeemer and defender of the poor, the contrite in spirit, and the broken hearted.
Father God, give us a love for you, your son, and your spirit.
May we be bonded and branched into you alone.
Partaking of your indwelling.
Never aside, never outside.
Ever grafted.
Ever knowing of your love and you sainthood.
Beloved
If God is truth.
Let every man be a liar.
Yet, if man is truth.
Then let Father God be the Lie.
