Psalm 84
(Psa 84:2) My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the LORD: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God. This is how we would feel if we let days go by without prayer and seeking out the will of God in our lives. If we neglected to read and study the word and our church attendance fell off, we would begin to feel dry and would be in need of a touch of God's spirit. We should long for God's presence daily; for without Him we have no strength against the worldly influence around us. (Psa 84:3) Yea, the sparrow hath found an house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, even thine altars, O LORD of hosts, my King, and my God.(Psa 84:4) Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be still praising thee. Selah. Dwelling in the house of the Lord would be like dwelling in His presence. When we consider His word, follow after His righteousness and be partakers in His holiness, it is the same as dwelling in His house. (Psa 84:5) Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; in whose heart are the ways of them.His ways are all we have left folks. He is the only truth and absolute foundation that we have. Many are ignoring, turning aside and have already forsaken the word of God. They have set grievous paths with no way out and no where to go. I cry out for the United States of America. I plead for her sins. Help us Lord to get back on the right path. I pray for the leaders of the churches to pray without ceasing and get direction from God for many have lost their way. Evolution has been taught in our schools as a fact instead of the theory that it is. When we see how a baby is born, the way the kidneys work, the heart, the brain etc. How can we think it all happened by accident? Yet many assume it is true without even considering a God that created human beings. The teaching of evolution gets us away from the appreciation of life and the eternal soul. When human life is thought of as a product of evolution, it loses its value. When we no longer consider ourselves made in the image of God, we lose our importance. Hitler thought that the mentally ill had no place in society, so he eliminated them. If one believes in evolution and the survival of the strong and healthy, we begin to pick and choose who lives and who dies. Human life becomes less important. This is why we now have abortion on demand and society does not consider it to be murder. Innocent life is being taken and they do not consider that a precious human being made in the image of God is being destroyed. If it is a product of evolution than it is not yet become a perfect human being, so its all right to kill it. However, if that child is a created being made in the image of God, the value goes up and it is now murder to kill the child in the womb of its mother. Our society got worse in its attempt to deny God and allow evil to be called good and good to be called evil. Those that object to abortion and try to correct this awful mistake that was made in 1973 are called evil by attempting to deny a woman's right to choose. Those that fight for a woman's right to choose to kill her unborn baby are considered good. Prayer and bible reading were removed from the public schools in 1963. Abortion became permissible in 1973 ten years after the removal of prayer and bible reading. Now homosexuality is considered normal and we who warn against it are considered bigots. God made each part of our bodies for a purpose. If we abuse our bodies and use them for any other purpose than which it was created for, we will suffer harm. Thus we have aids and other diseases caused by misuse of our bodies. However, if we teach evolution then nothing matters. I look for the United States to be eliminated from existence if we don't turn away from this nonsense and get back to our creator and holiness. You might wonder how. You might wonder how can we live holy when our nature wants to sin. That is what Jesus is all about folks. God sent Jesus to save us from sin and give us a new spirit that takes the desire to sin away from us. The Holy Spirit will abide with us and keep us from sin if we let Him. First we must repent (turn from) sin and believe fully in Jesus Christ as our savior from sin. God will then send the Holy Spirit to abide with us. We still will be tempted to sin but if we resist and trust in Jesus Christ, we will have power over sin and can live holy as He is holy. We have no strength without Jesus Christ. Our will power will fail sooner or later if we try to live holy on our own. (Psa 84:6) Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain also filleth the pools.(Psa 84:7) They go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion appeareth before God. (Psa 84:8) O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer: give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah. (Psa 84:9) Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of thine anointed. (Psa 84:10) For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness. Truly one hour in the presence of the Lord is better than a lifetime in the this wicked world. (Psa 84:11) For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.Take one step toward the Lord and He will take several steps toward you. He wants to save not destroy. Destruction only comes when we continually reject God and desire our own ways. The enemy comes in like a flood when we reject God and His protection is withdrawn. (Psa 84:12) O LORD of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.America needs to get back to God. Without Him there is no salvation. Our armies are weak without His protection. We think we are so mighty but without the fear of God, we will fall. If we continue in abortion, sexual immorality, denying God's existence, and mocking the written word, we will perish. The enemy waits for God's protection to be removed so that he can move in and destroy us. This enemy is Satan who will kill, steal and destroy our country. He wants us to lose our souls and enter eternity in hell with no way out. From the beginning of the creation of man, the enemy has wanted to destroy God's creation. This is why he brought in homosexuality and abortion. If everyone gave in to these desires, the human race would die out. This is why the enemy raises up dictators, despots and evil rulers that want mass destruction of human beings. He wants to eliminate the human race and we sit and let him do it. God has a remnant who believes in Him. God sent Jesus to save and destroy the power of the enemy. We can accept Jesus Christ or reject Him but God sent us His only Son to save us and we can be free if we choose His way of righteousness instead of going our own way and doing our own thing. John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.Joh 3:17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. Joh 3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. Joh 3:19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. Joh 3:20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. Joh 3:21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. ©2008 Old Paths Lighthouse |
