Sing to the Lord with All your Heart!

God presides in the great assembly; he renders judgment among the “gods”:

“How long will you defend the unjust and show partiality to the wicked?

Defend the weak and the fatherless; uphold the cause of the poor and the oppressed. Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked.

“The ‘gods’ know nothing, they understand nothing. They walk about in darkness; all the foundations of the earth are shaken.

“I said, ‘You are “gods”; you are all sons of the Most High.’ But you will die like mere mortals; you will fall like every other ruler.”

Rise up, O God, judge the earth, for all the nations are your inheritance.

"This is a Psalm of Asaph and it speaks of those that think they are like gods, on this earth. This is speaking of mere mortal men, liars, and thieves that desire to be exalted above God. Please remember that the wise are slow to anger and wrath, God Himself even said be angry and do not sin. Do not let the sun go down on your wrath, lest you give a foothold to the devil. Satan was a murderer from the beginning, and those who are the Lord's have come to destroy the works of the Devil. I hope you are His eternally. Please show mercy and compassion to others, and be wise enough to know that the God of heaven and earth will repay you for your kindness beyond this present world. I desire that you live an upright life during your time on this earth before God and men.

And please count me as your friend at the end of the day. God is merciful and He knows all things, His Spirit searches the thoughts and intentions of the heart. He created all things, day and night, and the Light dwells with Him. How blessed to be considered a child of the day, and a son of the Light, a son of God, an heir and co-heir with Christ. He became the reproach that I could never become before God to justify anyone in His sight."

Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.

This is how we know that we live in him and he in us: He has given us of his Spirit. And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in them and they in God. And so we know and rely on the love God has for us.

"Please remember that repentance is necessary to inherit everlasting salvation, and He has all power. He is the only road to everlasting life. He speaks and there is thunder, He rebukes the nations, and He will help you with His righteous right arm to live a noble life in His sight, a life that is spiritual.

Jesus the Son of God died upon the cross, He was buried, and He rose again on the third day. He ascended into Heaven and He is seated at the right hand of God. He will fulfill His word. He is coming back quickly. I hope you are found in Him. There is still time for those who have not yet heard. Please let Him lead you into all truth.

If you have looked upon Him for everlasting salvation, your prayers are not a common thing in His sight, they are precious and they are as precious as the death of His godly ones, they are as precious as His own blood. Your labor is never in vain, if the Spirit of God dwells in you. Please always love His words more than mine."

Then Elijah said to Ahab, “Go get something to eat and drink, for I hear a mighty rainstorm coming!”

So Ahab went to eat and drink. But Elijah climbed to the top of Mount Carmel and bowed low to the ground and prayed with his face between his knees.

Then he said to his servant, “Go and look out toward the sea.”

The servant went and looked, then returned to Elijah and said, “I didn’t see anything.”

Seven times Elijah told him to go and look. Finally the seventh time, his servant told him, “I saw a little cloud about the size of a man’s hand rising from the sea.”

Then Elijah shouted, “Hurry to Ahab and tell him, ‘Climb into your chariot and go back home. If you don’t hurry, the rain will stop you!’”

And soon the sky was black with clouds. A heavy wind brought a terrific rainstorm, and Ahab left quickly for Jezreel. Then the Lord gave special strength to Elijah. He tucked his cloak into his belt and ran ahead of Ahab’s chariot all the way to the entrance of Jezreel.

When Ahab got home, he told Jezebel everything Elijah had done, including the way he had killed all the prophets of Baal. So Jezebel sent this message to Elijah: “May the gods strike me and even kill me if by this time tomorrow I have not killed you just as you killed them.”

Elijah was afraid and fled for his life. He went to Beersheba, a town in Judah, and he left his servant there. Then he went on alone into the wilderness, traveling all day. He sat down under a solitary broom tree and prayed that he might die. “I have had enough, Lord,” he said. “Take my life, for I am no better than my ancestors who have already died.”

Then he lay down and slept under the broom tree. But as he was sleeping, an angel touched him and told him, “Get up and eat!” He looked around and there beside his head was some bread baked on hot stones and a jar of water! So he ate and drank and lay down again.

Then the angel of the Lord came again and touched him and said, “Get up and eat some more, or the journey ahead will be too much for you.”

So he got up and ate and drank, and the food gave him enough strength to travel forty days and forty nights to Mount Sinai, the mountain of God.

Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing psalms. Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain; and it did not rain on the land for three years and six months. And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth produced its fruit.

Brethren, if anyone among you wanders from the truth, and someone turns him back, let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save a soul from death and cover a multitude of sins.

"All of the spiritual gifts spoken of in His word are available to you today, the gifts and callings of God are irrevocable. Please do not ever consider me as someone great in the kingdom of heaven. I am blessed just to have access to His written word. He is merciful." Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses. I urge you in the sight of God who gives life to all things, and before Christ Jesus who witnessed the good confession before Pontius Pilate, that you keep this commandment without spot, blameless until our Lord Jesus Christ’s appearing, which He will manifest in His own time, He who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings and Lord of lords, who alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen or can see, to whom be honor and everlasting power. Amen.

"Please pray for those that are kings, those that God has given authority. Please ask that He would grant them mercy. I need His mercy every day.

The Lord Jesus Christ is Holy. He alone works wonders, miracles, signs, heals, restores, and gives people the ability to speak or write. There is no one like Him. All spiritual things are His, all things are His. Jesus is Lord, and He loves you today.

Please always remember that Jesus Christ conquered the grave. If you are not willing to repent and believe that Jesus is the Son of God, you will be accursed eternally. There is no escape from everlasting destruction and it is worse than you can comprehend. God takes absolutely no pleasure in the death of the wicked. Please pray that God would show mercy to those who have not yet heard, to those who have not yet repented, and to those that are out there living foolishly. He is the Good Shepherd, and He is faithful."
