Psalm 59

"I was glad when they said to me "Let us go up to the House of the Lord"


9 V9 I will wait for You, O You [e]his Strength;
For God is my [f]defense.


In verse 9, Psalms says I will wait.
In Verse 17, To You, O my strength, I will sing praises.

The waiting time is often the toughest time in a person's life.
A youngster who gradates and waiting for a job, the waiting is tough.
A young woman who gets married and waits for a blessing of child, the waiting is tough.
A sick person waiting to have deliverance from the sickness, the waiting is tough.

Waiting is not easy.
Waiting brings the best and the worst in a person.
A person who has selfish ambitions , in their waiting , their worst will show up.

The people in this world wait for some luck to happen, things to turn around.
But for you and me, We don't wait on things like luck, charm, etc. but we wait on God. 

When you wait on God - means not taking shortcuts, not going out of the Gods will.
Waiting on God is only one option - wait on God.
But God doesnt work according to our timings our clock our expectations.
But He wants us to come on line with His timings, His clock, His Will, His Ways.

Many of us like Mary and Martha would want God to show up before lazarus died, But the Lord follows His own clock and shows up 4 days after lazarus was buried.

Isaiah 40:21
But those who wait on the Lord
Shall renew their strength;
They shall mount up with wings like eagles,
They shall run and not be weary,
They shall walk and not faint.

During the process of waiting,  what usually people does is Complaining.
James 5:7
7 Therefore be patient, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, waiting patiently for it until it receives the early and latter rain.

The farmer sows the seed and waits for it grow.
Some people don't sow the seed, but still waits.

Usually - In waiting people tend to grumble, Complain
Your grumbling or complaining makes the Waiting longer and longer.

Not only that some make idols during waiting.
Why God Hates Idols.
Definition of Idol is an image for God to use an object of worship. The problem with that you start worshiping the object instead of God. But you will never know God.

Now when Moses went up to the mountain and people saw the Moses delayed coming down,
they could not wait any longer and said make idols?

While you have waited for this time,
32 Now when the people saw that Moses delayed coming down from the mountain, the people gathered together to Aaron, and said to him, “Come, make us [a]gods that shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him.”


As you Wait - what we should do is V17 Worship

So what should we do while we wait, we worship.
The more you worship in waiting, you are reducing your wait time

17 V 17 To You, O my Strength, I will sing praises;
For God is my defense,
My God of mercy.

Psalm 105:

17 He sent a man before them—
Joseph—who was sold as a slave.
18 They hurt his feet with fetters,
[a]He was laid in irons.
19 Until the time that his word came to pass,
The word of the Lord tested him.

Miracles of Christ 06/13

Key verse : John 20: 30,31

30 And truly Jesus did many other signs in the presence of His disciples, which are not written in this book; 31 but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name.

1. If Jesus had never performed a miracle. what would be impact on His ministry?

2. Would He draw the same kinds of crowds and responses

3. Why Jesus performed miracles throughout His ministry?

1. Why did Jesus perform miracles?

   Miracles bring glory to God

   Miracles prove that Jesus is Gods Son

  Miracles lead people to eternal life

  Miracles shows Jesus's compassion

2. Why do we need miracles today?

Spiritual Immunity

One thing that has been doing the rounds is those who have good immunity were able to withstand the virus even though they were contacted with it.

Immunity is something that is required to withstand any effects that comes from outside virus, cough, cold, seasonal changes.

one thing that doing rounds is D vitamin.

another is have lemon

Another is Garlic.

so many things.

We are careful about boosting our physical body immunity.

But when it comes to Spiritual Realm, not many of us think about boosting our spiritual immunity.

Why do we need Spiritual Immunity

Many of the problems that we see outside in our relationships, health, jobs, finances, -- everything is related to your spiritual immunity.

We try to cover up on outside, but we don't go to the root.

We  work reverse way 

Physical -> Soul -> Spirit

But actually it should be other way

Spirit -> Soul -> Physical

Boost it at the root : example of a tree.

How Can we boost Spiritual Immunity.

      a) Positioning: Child of God.

                  1) No Condemnation

                  2) Free  from Law of sin and death

                  3) Righteous requirements of Law are fulfilled because of Spirit.

               4) The Faith that you have is not just some magic words you say, but is because you are born of Spirit

John3:8

 8 The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it 

comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.”

Romans8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. 

                  5) I am a Child of God - led by the Spirit of God. You are consciously involved in the leading of the Holy Spirit. Your choices, your thoughts, your actions towards others - everything you are led by the Spirit of God. 

You are declaring Child of God is not just by your faith, confession, but even by your daily life.

                  Includes Rejecting negative talk, negative thoughts, feeling shame, feeling rejected. Reject who you are not.

      b) Worship: You are declaring  who God is above all your situations. the grace flows. Humility is revealed in your dependence. Gods presence flows down to the heart that worships.

            1) Reputation increases with Worship before godly men.

  2 kings 3:14

Jehoshaphat has a reputation that no other king has before the prophets.

Elisha says to Jehoram,king of Israel, that if it is not for Jehoshaphat.

Worship , his reputation increases. 

   c) Prayer and Praying in tongues

26 Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession [g]for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. 27 Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

              1) man gets weakened because of situations, reports, and so many other things.

But when we are weak, to pray is also very difficult, but when we spend time in His presence, and Spirit helps in weakness. He prays for us. He makes intercession for us.

Spirit knows the will of God.

A persons prayer - releases the strength, that goes in to mind, and that even goes into physical body.

That is why when you are burdened, when someone prays for you , you get so much encouraged. you get so strengthened.

and when Spirit Himself prays, there is great strength.

      c)  Exercising Godly attributes.

Fruit of the Spirit: 

 Love - 

Joy -

Peace -  these are all attributes, Fruit of the HolySpirit . when you get connected to the Spirit, and the Spirit leads you, and you obey and see that you are purposefully pursing the 

The Word says the Joy of the Lord is our Strength.

So your immediate immunity is the fruit of the HolySpirit - Joy pursuing it.

Exercising the Godly attributes willfully can greatly strengthen your immunity.

Renewal of mind: Peace

David -  Speak to himself- Psalms, hymns,

Isaiah 26:3

You will keep him in perfect peace,
Whose mind is stayed on You,
Because he trusts in You.

      

for we know we have the mind of Christ ( 1 Corinthians 2:16)

 For “who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct Him?” But we have the mind of Christ.

Take your thoughts captive  - Mind

Philippians 4:8

8 Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.

Cooking Man

Numbers 11: 7,8

 Now the manna was like coriander seed, and its color like the color of bdellium. 8 The people went about and gathered it, ground it on millstones or beat it in the mortar, cooked it in pans, and made cakes of it; and its taste was like the taste of pastry prepared with oil.

The people went about and gathered it.

Ground it on millstones or beat in the mortar

Cooked it in pans

made cakes of it. , Prepared with oil.    

This seed manna has everything that needed.

WE should know that this Word of God has everything that needs for you to sustain.

Your finances - This has it

Your Blessing - this has it

Your Health - this has it

Your destination - this has it

Your relationship = this has it

Your deliverance from your problmes - this has it

1) Gathering:

So Israel has to gather it.

To eat food, we have to gather. We all gather. We goto groceries.

Gathering the food is so important activity  in filling the stomach. Without which you will hungry and even your family will be hungry.

How about Gathering the food

Are you starving your spirit with out the food?

You might be doing many thing, but do you gather?

People who searched the Word

King Josaiah was looking for Word

David says Blessed is the one who delights in the law of the Lord.

Chuch at Berea

Acts 17:11

 11 These were more [d]fair-minded than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness, and searched the Scriptures daily to find out whether these things were so

2)   Ground it on millstones or beat in the mortar

Beating on the millstone -

you dont buy the coriander seed and eat it directly.

It should be digestable. 

You have to beat.

Beating is the part of meditation of the Word.

The Word that goes into the Soul - and gets connected to your Spirit.

It is the place where you sit and think about the Word.

It is the place where you beat what you get and break it into parts so you will feed your Spirit.

Many people hear the Word, but they dont process it. 

If you dont take time to beat the seed, it will not be powder.

If not powder, you cannot eat it.

3) Cooked it in pans

You get the Word , You meditated on it.

Then the cooking is basically , you are praying for the Word that has Come.

I received the Word, what is your will for me in this Word.

Waiting on the Lord - makes thing clear.

and it helps to see the Will of God clearly.

Do you have that life - where you gather and then you beat it and then do you pray for the Word.

Suppose on a Sunday morning , you hear the sermon - you gathered your food, and you meditated on it , and then do you pray about that Word?

Cook yourself in prayer.

4) Prepare with Oil - 

Make it as cakes.

you dont just give the powder to your family to eat.

But you use that powder and make it like a dough and then use the dough and make the cakes that can be eaten.

Whenever you toast the bread, you apply some butter, oil. and thats what makes the bread so beautiful.

It is the presence of HolySpirit that leads you and makes that Cake that you prepared beautfiul

Are you feeding your family?  or Are you making your family starve?

Cook for your family and let the family be nourished because the man of the house cook.
