Psalms 6:8, 9 (KJ21)
Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity, for the LORD hath heard the voice of my weeping. The LORD hath heard my supplication; the LORD will receive my prayer

Psalms 6:8, 9(NAS)
Depart from me, all you who do iniquity, For the LORD has heard the voice of my weeping. The LORD has heard my supplication, The LORD receives my prayer

Psalms 6:8, 9 (NIVUS)
Away from me, all you who do evil, for the LORD has heard my weeping. The LORD has heard my cry for mercy; the LORD accepts my prayer.

Psalms 6:8, 9 (NLT)
Go away, all you who do evil, for the LORD has heard my crying. The LORD has heard my plea; the LORD will answer my prayer.

Most people, who face adverse circumstances, believe that this is their lot in life. They do not realize that in many instances they can take authority over these situations, especially if they are believers in the Lord Jesus Christ.

As a child of the Most High God, you can tell those who commit wickedness and iniquity to depart from you. Those who afflict you and cause you sorrow must leave you alone. You can decline the mischief that they do against you, for Jehovah the Lord has heard your weeping and has seen your tears. He has heeded the voice of your lamentations, complaints, and wailings.

You have cried and entreated the Lord your God for favor and grace. He has graciously stooped down to bestow His kindness and mercy on you. He has granted your requests and supplications. Jehovah has accepted your prayers and has sent you the answers, for He cares for you as His dear child. He reserves special regard for you.

5-19-06 Ezekiel 33:7

Ezekiel 33:7 (KJ21)
So thou, O son of man, I have set thee as a watchman unto the house of Israel. Therefore thou shalt hear the word at My mouth and warn them from Me.

Ezekiel 33:7 (NAS)
Now as for you, son of man, I have appointed you a watchman for the house of Israel; so you will hear a message from My mouth, and give them warning from Me.

Ezekiel 33:7 (NIVUS)
Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; so hear the word I speak and give them warning from me.

Ezekiel 33:7 (NLT)
Now, son of man, I am making you a watchman for the people of Israel. Therefore, listen to what I say and warn them for me.

When God Almighty adopts someone into His family, He intends that he build and not destroy the lives of others. You are a son who has been called to build the family name and to repair that which was broken. You have been appointed as a watchman to peer into the distance. You are to observe and to wait on the Lord, for you are a steward and prince in the ruling house of Adonai.

You, therefore, listen attentively for Jehovah's words. Everything that the Lord speaks from His mouth you declare to others. When He commands, you are obedient. You are diligent to listen and give ear to the Most High's advice and counsel. Whether you hear words of blessing or judgment, you proclaim what the Lord your God says. You report on His promises and provision for you, but you also give warning if that is due. Your purpose is to enlighten, admonish, and teach others of God's will and His ways.

Psalms 89:19 (KJ21)
Then Thou didst speak in a vision to Thy holy one and said, "I have laid help upon one that is mighty; I have exalted one chosen out of the people.

Psalms 89:19 (NAS)
Once Thou didst speak in vision to Thy godly ones, And didst say, "I have given help to one who is mighty; I have exalted one chosen from the people.

Psalms 89:19 (NIVUS)
Once you spoke in a vision, to your faithful people you said: "I have bestowed strength on a warrior; I have exalted a young man from among the people.

Psalms 89:19 (NLT)
You once spoke in a vision to your prophet and said, "I have given help to a warrior. I have selected him from the common people to be king.

Adonai speaks in many ways. He declares, converses, commands, promises, warns, threatens, or sings. He prophesies and gives you new vision. Through these means, you receive perception and provision, for you are the Lord's faithful and godly saint, one who is kind and good.

The Almighty has revealed to you that He sent One to help, support, and succors you. This One is strong, mighty, and brave, who helps you to prevail and be strong. Daily you become more like Him, as He levels your life and smoothes your way.

The Most High God has lifted and exalted Him. He raised Him up out of what was rotten and wormy. Now He is seated on high with the Almighty. He is God's chosen and elect Son, who has raised and uplifted you. He has caused you to grow. He has abolished all that has held you down and you stand tall and erect. He always contributes to your well-being, for you are of His people and nation

5-17-06 Habakkuk 2:3

Habakkuk 2:3 (KJ21)
For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak and not lie. Though it tarry, wait for it, because it will surely come; it will not tarry.

Habakkuk 2:3 (NAS)
For the vision is yet for the appointed time; It hastens toward the goal, and it will not fail. Though it tarries, wait for it; For it will certainly come, it will not delay.

Habakkuk 2:3 (NIVUS)
For the revelation awaits an appointed time; it speaks of the end and will not prove false. Though it linger, wait for it; it will certainly come and will not delay.

Habakkuk 2:3 (NLT)
But these things I plan won’t happen right away. Slowly, steadily, surely, the time approaches when the vision will be fulfilled. If it seems slow, wait patiently, for it will surely take place. It will not be delayed.

The Lord your God has prophesied and given you a vision. He has already provided everything for it to come to pass. What you see now as a dream, you soon will experience as reality, for Adonai has appointed it to happen. The time is fixed. Its fulfillment is sure and will not be cut off. God has breathed on it and given it life. It is not a lie that will deceive you. It will not fail nor disappoint you.

Wait for it patiently. Do not continuously ask, “Why am I not seeing it or how long will this take?” It will come, for Jehovah is bringing it to pass. It is near. It will not hesitate nor delay in its coming. Look expectantly!

1 Chronicles 29:12 (NLT)
Riches and honor come from you alone, for you rule over everything. Power and might are in your hand, and it is at your discretion that people are made great and given strength.

There are wealthy men and women around the world, but even the richest of them do not have unlimited resources. There is someone, however, who does. Adonai, the Most High God, is abundant in wealth and riches that never run short. He is glorious in splendor and should always be honored and revered. From Him, you receive all that you could ever need or want.

Jehovah the Lord rules and reigns over all. In His hand alone is great strength and power. It is full of all of the abundance that will keep you satisfied and complete. He arms you to prevail against your enemies. When you grow tired and weary, His strength and might will uphold you.

Through the hand of the Lord, you become great and important. As you grow, He is the One who promotes you. With Him you will fulfill, accomplish, and complete everything that He has put in your hand to do. Others will praise and magnify the Lord your God for the great things that you do.

Therefore, be strong and courageous. In the Lord God, you are firm and resolute. He has caught you fast and made you secure. He will sustain, encourage, and make you bold, for He has repaired your life.

Jehovah, the Lord God, is great, distinguished, and important. He is the head, the chief, and the sum total of all things good. He is powerful and magnificent. He is strong and mighty. Bravery and valor easily describe your God.

When you look to Adonai, the Most High, you only see glory, splendor and beauty. The finest jewels and raiment cannot compare to Him. He is adorned with eminence and majesty. He is bright and excellent. The Lord's rank and renown is worthy of honor. In Him you have everlasting victory and enduring life.

Everything in the heavens above and the earth beneath belong to Almighty God. He is the sovereign King who has dominion over all. He is exalted and lifted up. He reigns from the beginning and forever. And He supports and aids you always.
