THEY WHO ARE IN FEAR

PSALMS 14:5
"THERE THEY ARE IN GREAT FEAR, FOR GOD IS WITH THE GENERATION OF THE RIGHTEOUS."

The first part of Psalms 14 states; "The fool has said in his heart, 'There is no God.' they are corrupt, the have done abominable works, there is none who does good."

Where are we staying on this Word? What is our part? Can we cast the wicked, hard in heart into hell? Can we open heavens gate and let anyone in? Who is it that God uses to punish the wicked?

I ask these question to the preacher who is the one that speaks to men. "The Lord looks down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there are any who understand, who seek God," Psalm 14:2.

The Lord said in Psalms 14:3; "They have all turned aside, they have together become corrupt; there is none who does good, no, not one."

WE are all gone astray, each one to his own way of destruction....

Isaiah 53:6; "All we like sheep have gone astray; We have turned, every one, to his own way; And the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all."

The teachin today is do we fight back, when the people come to destroy us because of our love of the Word, the joy of Salvation, our hope of eternal glory, our faith in Christ Jesus, His Blood, and Name.

"He was oppressed and He was afflicted, Yet He opened not His mouth; He was led as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before its shearers is silent."

Bless the Lord, He has done it all, Bless His Holy Name, Jesus our Christ.

WORK HARD

BE READY:

In the ministry of evangelism, you have three positions;

1.) Start: This is all the great prepping that goes on to begin any hard work. You will get every opposition to your even wanting to care. You will have every one around you telling you why it will be hard. You will convince yourself even that you are not quailified for the position. The ones that you are preparing all this for will look to you as "hopeless ones."

2.) Asking For God's Help: Sometimes just as a human, you do hard things just for His sake. Because you know it is a "Better Way." It's hard to position yourself with just one goal in mind, and that is; that Jesus is Lord and you are dead in Him...

3.) Doer: "Do all things as unto Christ Jesus, do not deny the Lord, you have not because you ask not, ask and ye shall receive, if any man...open the door, I will come in to him, but as many as received Him...He will give...power to become sons, be ye doers of the Word."
