GOD KNOWS ALL ABOUT YOU

GOD KNOWS ALL ABOUT YOU

PSALM 139 is said to be one of the greatest Psalms written of King David. In this Psalm, David writes of the ever present (Omnipresent) and the all knowing God (Omniscient). More specifically, it gives and account of how well God knows each of us individually, even better than we know ourselves. 

Before we were even fashioned or formed God, knew every component of our being; physical and spiritual. Our very souls were created with carefulness and precision. Nothing that we are, is a mistake or a mishap, because everything God created was deemed marvelous and “good” in His sight.

Because God took such great care in forming each of us, like any other Artist, God monitors and takes note of us and of everything that pertains to us. And, even in our imperfection, his thoughts of us are only good. Who wouldn’t want to KNOW and SERVE a God like that? Such a loving steward and caretaker is He.

Psalm 139
1 O lord, thou hast searched me, and known me.

2 Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off.

3 Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways.

4 For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O Lord, thou knowest it altogether.

5 Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me.

6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.

7 Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?

8 If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.

9 If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;

10 Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.

11 If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me.

12 Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.

13 For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.

14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.

15 My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.

16 Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.

17 How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!

18 If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.

DO YOU KNOW GOD

Apostle Peter wanted new converts to know God, as in getting to know Him through a relationship with Him through Christ.  Until Christ, even the Jews, as well as the Gentiles with their numerous gods, obtained only a knowledge of God through tradition and religion.  
Because of our faith in Christ, we can obtain this knowledge and become partakers of all the things that Divinity offers. Only through this intimate knowledge, can we become partakers of the exceeding great and precious promises and power of God.  

Accept Christ today, get to know Him for yourselves, so that you too can be afforded the peace,  etc., that comes with knowing God.

2 Peter 1:Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ:2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,3 According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.5 And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;6 And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;7 And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.8 
For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

COME ... SPEAK ... AWAKEN

COME ... SPEAK ... AWAKEN 

IN LUKE 13 VS 10-13 JESUS FINDS A WOMAN IN THE SYNAGOGUE, WHO WAS BENT, BOWED AND BROKEN. LIKE THAT WOMAN, THERE ARE SOME OF US WHO ARE IN THE KINGDOM, YET WE ARE BROKEN. MIRACLES, SIGNS AND WONDERS HAPPENING ALL AROUND US, YET WE REMAIN THE SAME. SOME ARE IN LEADERSHIP. HEALING OTHERS, AT THE SAME TIME IN NEED OF HEALING. 

THREE THINGS OCCURRED ON THAT DAY THE WOMEN WAS HEALED. FIRSTLY, SHE RESPONDED WHEN HE BID HER TO COME. GOD IS SPEAKING TO US ALL THE TIME. WE MUST QUIET OUR SOULS. PRAY AND THEN LISTEN AND RESPOND TO HIS WORD. WHAT IS GOD SAYING TO YOU TODAY?

SECONDLY, HE SPOKE THE WORDS, “WOMAN THOU ART LOOSED”! JESUS WAS THE WORD OF GOD MADE FLESH AND WHEN HE DIED FOR OUR SINS, WE NOW HAVE JESUS, THE WORD ON THE INSIDE (GAL 2:20 “I am crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but it is Christ who lives in me.” ALLOW THE SPIRIT TO CAUSE THAT WORD ON THE INSIDE TO COME OUT AND MANIFEST FRUIT. (Proverbs 18:21. Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.) EAT THE WORD, SPEAK THE WORD AND ENJOY THE FRUIT THEREOF.

FINALLY, BECAUSE WE HAVE RECEIVED CHRIST AS OUR SAVIOR, WE ALREADY POSSESS THE INHERITANCE OF THE KINGDOM. EVERYTHING THAT PERTAINS TO LIFE AND GODLINESS IS ALREADY OURS. NOTICE THAT JESUS DID NOT SAY TO THE WOMEN, BE MADE WHOLE, INSTEAD HE TOLD HER WHAT SHE ALREADY WAS, “WOMEN THOU ART LOOSED”. WHEN WE BEGIN TO SEE OURSELVES AS JESUS SEES US, SPIRITUAL AWAKENING WILL OCCUR. THEN, WE WILL REALIZE WE ARE ALREADY ... … …

THE SCRIPTURE IN LUKE 13 SAYS, THAT THE LAST THING JESUS DID BEFORE THIS WOMAN WAS HEALED WAS TOUCH HER. SPIRITUALLY AWAKENING OCCURS WHEN WE ALLOW JESUS TO TOUCH US; LAY HANDS ON US AND TAKE HOLD OF OUR VERY SOULS. NO BETTER IMPARTATION THAN THAT FROM THE LORD OF OUR LIVES. ALLOW JESUS TO ARREST AND RESURRECT YOU, YOUR SITUATION, AND YOUR VERY LIFE.

SO, I SAY TO YOU TODAY PEOPLE OF GOD, “YOU ARE LOOSED!”
