6-28-08 Psalm 37:11 Be Gentle and Lowly and You Will Possess the Land

Psalm 37: 11(NAS)
But the humble will inherit the land, And will delight themselves in abundant prosperity.

Psalm 37: 11 (NLT)
Those who are gentle and lowly will possess the land; they will live in prosperous security.

The spirit of the world teaches you to fight for your rights; however, the Kingdom of God shows you a different way of acting. Adonai encourages you to be gentle, humble, and meek. You must maintain a submissive attitude towards God. Through this you prove that you are a true saint of the Lord.

Adapting and maintaining this attitude brings you more blessing from the Lord than the more belligerent one does. Although it seems that others gain by obnoxious, grasping methods, in the final outcome you, and not they, will be the true heir of the earth. Adonai will cause you to possess by faith what others were striving for through their own strength. You will occupy the land, for the previous tenants will be driven out and disinherited. You will have success.
You will then have great delight, for you will find yourself living a luxurious life. God will abundantly provide health and prosperity. Through the Lord's favor, you will have increase. Your goods and possessions will accumulate as the rain drops in a shower. You will also live in perfect peace, rest, and safety. In the end, you will be full and have plenty.

6-22-08 Jeremiah 33:6, 7 God Will Restore Your Fortunes and Rebuild Your Cities

Jeremiah 33:6, 7(NAS)
Behold, I will bring to it health and healing, and I will heal them; and I will reveal to them an abundance of peace and truth.And I will restore the fortunes of Judah and the fortunes of Israel, and I will rebuild them as they were at first.

Jeremiah 33:6, 7 (NLT)
Nevertheless, the time will come when I will heal Jerusalem's damage and give her prosperity and peace. I will restore the fortunes of Judah and Israel and rebuild their cities.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
It has never been Adonai's wish to cut anyone's life short; instead He desires to lengthen and extend your life. He wants to bring you into a state of perfection, restoring you to wholeness and soundness. He wants you to ascend and to arise. Your life should always be as fresh as the breaking of a brand new dawn. You should always be experiencing increase, recovery and restoration. The Lord Jesus has the medicine and the cure for whatever may be hurting or harming you. He longs to deliver you and mend your heart. Where you are weak and feeble, He wants to make you strong and overcoming.

After He has healed and repaired you, the Lord God will reveal and show you His abundance, that He has laid up for you. He is not ashamed to open up His treasuries to you, for He wants to multiply peace to you. In His peace, you will find happiness, health, prosperity, and wholeness. You will be safe and secure in your mind, body, and estate.

God will also disclose the abundance of His truth. You will see how faithful and trust-worthy He is and that will stabilize you and your faith. The truth of His word will build you up, establishing and supporting you. As you learn to trust Adonai more, you will become firm and permanent. You will rest in the quiet assurance that only the Lord God can give you.

Sometimes, even if you are a true worshiper of God or have the power of a prince of Israel,you can be taken captive and held as a prisoner by the enemy. Your former state may have been one of prosperity, but you were driven into a state of exile. However, even here, you need not despair, for the Lord your God will bring you back to the place where you started. He will repair and restore you. He will surely set you up securely again. He will reverse the curse that came upon you and give you great rewards.
