Our Shield - Psa. 84:9

Psalms 8:1-9 

 1LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens.

²Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.

³When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;

⁴What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?

⁵For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.

⁶Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:

⁷All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;

⁸The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.

⁹O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!

Psalm 9:1,2

¹I will praise thee, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will show forth all thy marvellous works.

²I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou most High.

God Thinking XXVII - Getting To Know God Better 3

"God is pleased every time you come to know Him better. 

God has visited you every time you have come together to praise and worship Him.

 

I want to testify of a truth.  I would rather praise God and worship Him in His presence, with His gentle and loving, caring and teaching Spirit, than to be anywhere with any number of people where there is strife and confusion and a heavy hand.

 

You , the body of Christ, are not in competition with anybody.  Do you believe that?  You are not at odds with any Church, organization, denomination or non-denomination.  You are at peace with the whole body of Christ.  It would really help you to believe this. You may not feel it but you are at peace with the whole body of Christ.

 

I have noticed a few things that I think is peculiar, (in a good sense) about the body of Christ; something I hope never changes - something you can build on - something you can take a genuine pride in being a part of - something that God is pleased with - something unusual - something worth telling others about.

A few things to be commended for:

• You have the opportunity to love one another.
• You do not have to be fake - you can be yourself - no put ons - no aires - no false I’m better than you are - no (you mean you haven’t been ??????????????
• You do not have to be condemning.
• You are growing spiritually. 
• You really do have something to tell the world about. 

 God meets you and purifies you, cleanses you and refreshes you.  God teaches you and trains you and lifts you up and makes things clear.  God has been leading and you have been following.  Are you OK with that? 

God is pleased and you need to know it.

God is pleased with you because God is.

There is nothing you can do about it.

This is an essential truth that you must believe to getting beyond a religious relationship with God and moving into a personal relationship with God.
Have people been making you feel inferior or wrong or insinuating that you do not measure up or that you are not as spiritual as they are.  That is the human way, not the God way."

God Thinking XXVII - Getting To Know God Better 2

"You have seen God move in your family.

You have seen God renew relationships.

You have seen God heal the sick and take away pain.

You have seen God visit you.

You have seen God change you.

You have seen God grow you.

You have seen God empower you.

You have seen God teach you.

 

God has blessed you.

 

God thinking teaches you to take time and worship and adore your heavenly Father.

Get it straight:

God loves you

You are beautiful

You are cleansed

You are powerful

You are free
You are anointed
You are honored
You are chosen of God
You are heirs with Christ

Your praise and worship please God so much that God has provided every kind of blessing that I have mentioned and many, many more."

God Thinking XXVII - Getting To Know God Better 1

"God Thinking teaches you to think about God.  God thinking teaches you to think high and lofty thoughts about God.

 

God thinking says that God is:

Wonderful

Marvelous

Great

Holy

Awesome

Majestic

 

Along the way you have learned many things that help you.  You have learned many truths that help you to love your spouse more and to be more tolerant with your children; and you have learned to seek the face of God more often and to take seriously the counsel of God.

 

God has drawn you nearer.  You have drawn nearer to God.  You seek God earlier than you used to.  You have begun to bring God into everything you do.

Note: I'll bet you think it uncanny that this describes your current feelings toward God.

 

You have received tools to make you better:

Tools to raise your children

Tools to fight against your enemy

Tools that help you to grow; spiritual, emotionally, financially, even physically.

Tools that empower you

 

You have received blessings, one after another.

 

You have spent moments with God; for some of you, you have spent more quality time and quantity time with God this year than ever before in your life.

You have seen the lost, found.

Each of you has many things to thank and praise and worship God, for. 

It would be quite a shame if you took for granted the many wonderful blessings that God has given you."
