#Bless the Lord,#Praise,

While studying in Psalms 145, the Word of the Lord plainly lets it be known that the Saints of God are to praise the Lord daily. Verse two states specifically, "Every day will i bless thee, and I will praise thy name fore ever and ever".  Oh, Amen!  What a joy to bless the Lord.

This Psalm continues on to say how the Lord is great and greatly to be praised.  But, when you get to verse 4 the Word of the Lord is giving instruction.  This verse states, "One generation shall praise thy works to another, and shall declare thy mighty acts".

We hear alot today about some of the things the Church and the people of God do are 'old'.  But, it this scripture is telling us to pass on from one generation to another praise for the works of the Lord, then the ways of the Church do not get old!!  If you study this verse and references, you will find that the children of Israel would pass on by word of mouth the things the Lord did for them when He delivered them out of the hand of Pharaoh or when He sent the death angel into the camp to kill the first born.  But, the children of Israel were spared from this because they obeyed the Lord and placed the blood of an unspotted lamb along the lintels of their doors.  Praise the  Lord for obedience.

The Saints of God will praise the Lord.  The Saints of God will tell their children testimonies  how the Lord brought them out of sin or healed their body or made a way when there seemed to be no way.    Praise is comely to the Saints.  The blood bought, Jesus Name baptised believer will bless the Lord.  He or she will sing of His goodness.  The Saint of God will rejoice in the Lord.

There is a Church saying that says, "when I think of the goodness of Jesus, and all He has done for me, my soul cries out hallelujah.  Thank God for saving me".

What does your soul say?  Will you bless the Lord at all times?  Will His praise continually be in your mouth? Will  you proclaim that you will bless the Lord?

Just something to think about.

#Run the Race Right,#Win,

Many start, but do not finish. Many once ran well, but now have allowed that which is contrary to scripture to run their lives. The scriptures bear this out in Galatians chapter three. "O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, " Galatians 3:1 "Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye n ow made perfect by the flesh?" Galatians 3:3 The Lord is calling the roll. Are you ready? Revelations 16:15  "Behold, I come as a thief.  Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame." steadfastapostolic.com

#Call Jesus,#Cry out,#Jesus, Deliverer

If you call Jesus right, he will hear you and come see about you.  Ask blind Bartimaeus. The scriptures says in St. Mark 10:46-52 that Jesus, His disciples and a great number of people were leaving Jericho.  Blind Bartimaeus heard that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by.  Blind Bartimaeus could not see.  He did not know what Jesus looked like.  He only knew what he heard. Blind Bartimaeus began to cry out to Jesus, "Jesus, thou son of David have mercy on me".  When the people tried to stop him, he cried out the more so, "Thou son of David, have mercy on me".  He did no let people keep him from calling on the Lord.  He must have heard about the miracles, healing, deliverance that took place at the hand of the Lord. Jesus heard the cry of Blind Bartimaeus.  It was the sound of the cry that revealed to the Lord that Blind Bartimaeus was calling out in a blind state, but yet believing something would happen if he could get the attention of Je...

#A Lot of Singing,#Shouting,#Tongue Talking,#Playing

Music was one of the things that drew me to want to go to Church when I was not saved.   I use to love to hear and 'feel' the spirit of the songs.  Back then, the singers would sing unto the Lord.  They were not paid to sing.  They were not seeking recording contracts.  They would sing unto the Lord.  The would sing about the Lord.  So, when one went to hear the singers, your soul got touched whether you wanted it to or not. I can remember going to the Holiness Churches.  The praise was different too.  When the Saints praised God back then, it was real.  When the Saints did dance 'in the Spirit', it was real.  You could feel it.  There was always this 'presence' in the Holiness Church that I could not explain....then.  But that presence kind of held you captive, whether you wanted it o or not.  And, sometimes Church would go on for hours, but no one cared.  And, if one of the Saints said something to you that t...
