#Afflictions, #Righteous,#Trials of Life,#Faith in God

Psalms 34:19 says, "Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all."  This is a scripture with promise.

Afflictions are going to come to those that walk up right.  The Saint has to know that tribulation worketh patience and patience experience, and experience and hope and hope maketh not ashamed.  The Bible says it like this, "And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; And patience, experience, and experience hope: And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us."  Romans 5:3-5.

Trials come to make the believer strong.  Strong in what?  Strong in faith towards the Lord.  For the Bible says without faith it is impossible to please God.

The Lord wants to bless His people and make ways for them.  The people of God must have faith not just when things are good, but when it's time to go through.  According to the scriptures, the Lord will deliver His people out of their afflictions.  And, not some of the afflictions, but all the afflictions.  The Word says, 'but the Lord delivereth him out of them all'.  Oh, praise God!  This is good news.

David said it like this, "It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy statues."  Psalms 119:71.  When the believer goes through with the Lord, he or she learns the ways of the Lord.  The believer will learn how to let patience have its perfect work.  The believer will learn to trust in the Lord.  And this is a good thing.

In Psalm 120:1 it says, "In my distress I cried unto the Lord, and he heard me".  Praise the Lord.

To the believer, keep on believing.  Do not allow the afflictions of life to make you stop trusting in the Lord.  The Lord will deliver you ON TIME.

What does the song say, "can't nobody do me like Jesus, can't nobody do me like the Lord, can't nobody do me like Jesus, He's my friend".

Be blessed.

#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...
