We are Destined to Triumph in Praise

Ivan Pattison, Australia

 

 

Mat 6:9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.   Mat 6:10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as [it is] in heaven.

 

Num 23:19 God [is] not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do [it]? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?

 

God meant this when He said, that He wanted HIS WILL done on earth as it is in heaven. God made guide lines so we would have a much more of a contented and healthier life style. God the Father gave us authority over satan, and most do not use this authority, either through laziness, or don't understand it.   Wouldn't we be much happier if we followed the guidelines, in doing His will.  God gave us laws so to keep us safe, and if kept would give us life.

 

Luk 6:23 Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward [is] great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets.

 

When I read the topics to write about for the month of March, a JOY, a PRAISE, swelled up within me.

 

NO BONDAGE, that means no bondage of sickness, poverty, and the overcoming sin in all shapes and forms, then why are we not living in this freedom that Jesus went to the cross to gain for us.

 

Why are we not triumphing in the Cross, and in the Freedom that Jesus has won for us!!!  The reason is, that we are following the world in its ways, instead of following the Word of God, that is The Holy Bible!!   We eat the way, the world eats, we watch on TV what the world watches, we spend our money the way the world spends their money.   When we should be Triumphing, we are singing Poor Me, Woe is Me!! Instead of Praising and Rejoicing, and going on from Victory to Victory!!

 

Let us from this day on, Praise God in all things, and in ALL things give Praise to the One Who deserves the Praise!!  We should be setting the example to the World, instead of the World setting an example for us to follow, and of course when we follow the world, we reap what the world reaps.  We then wonder why we become sick, and worse still why we stay sick.

 

Why would any one of those in the world want what we are favoured with, when we walk in their paths, we certainly are not walking in the path God has set before us, so we are not that much different to what they have in the world anyway. Let Us Triumph in victory.  Sure satan will put things on us, and our family, but WE DO NOT HAVE TO ACCEPT IT!!!  We do not have to keep what satan puts on us, so we. We should triumph in the Cross, and in the Resurrection our LORD JESUS CHRIST!!! We should be Rejoicing because our names are written in heaven, isn't that something to rejoice about, HALLELUJAH, HALLELUJAH, HALLELUJAH!!!

 

Luk 6:23 Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward [is] great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets.

 

Hbr 13:15 By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of [our] lips giving thanks to his name.

 

Yes let us give thanks continually, rejoice continually, let us be a blessing to God our Father, and to our Lord Jesus Christ, Who deserves all of our Praise, all of our time. ALL of our Worship. God says have NO other gods before HIM, so why do we have other gods, why do we put things of this world, in higher esteem than we put our God!!  In these last days, we are seeing where those who have put houses, cars, and other material things above God, are being destroyed, their world, for some, is falling apart, and for others their world will fall apart in days to come.  Let us not be in that position, that we have put material things above God our Father of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.  If our land, our abode, our transport, means more to us than does our worship of our God, and the love for others, then we are empty. Our life is then similar to a sounding gong!!

 

1Cr 13:1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not Love, I am become [as] sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.

 

Do we really want to be as a sounding brass, and a tinkling cymbal, yet many are, we see them almost every day.  Come on fellow Christians, let us triumph in the Glory of God our Father, Who gave us His Son so we can have Freedom!!!  Let us glory in that freedom, let us be overwhelmed in that Glory!!!

 

Psa 150:5 Praise him upon the loud cymbals: praise him upon the high sounding cymbals.

1Th 5:16 Rejoice evermore.

1Th 5:17 Pray without ceasing.

1Th 5:18 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

 

Whatever is happening in your world, praise God in it!!!

 

Isa 63:15 Look down from heaven (O God), and behold from the habitation of thy holiness and of thy glory: where [is] thy zeal and thy strength, the sounding of thy bowels and of thy mercies toward me? are they restrained?

 

Wouldn't it be lovely for God the Father to look down on us, and see the habitation of His Holiness, and His Glory on, and around us, and Him knowing that His people are walking in His statutes. How pleasing, and a blessing it would be to Him, and knowing He could give us, the desires of our heart, without us misusing them.

 

Eze 7:7 The morning is come unto thee, O thou that dwellest in the land: the time is come, the day of trouble [is] near, and not the sounding again of the mountains.

 

In these last days we are going to need to know, and have more of His Word in our mind and in our heart, because that will be our ROCK, in these last days, and without His Word in us, we will fail.

Ivan has Love, because Jesus has set his love upon me, by His Grace, In His Strength, and For His Glory!
