Word in Season, and from God to me
Psalm 42 – Getting out of my season of discouragment
Do not give up, I are at the brink of my miracle, I am a winner.
1. Do not lose my desire for God.
2. Do not listen to my detractors.
3. Do not focus on what ungodly people or taunters say.
My season change has now come.
My breakthrough has come for my home and family.
In spite of how things seem, GOD will turn things around on time.
Job 7: 19How long wilt thou not depart from me, nor let me alone till I swallow down my spittle?
20I have sinned; what shall I do unto thee, O thou preserver of men? why hast thou set me as a mark against thee, so that I am a burden to myself?
21And why dost thou not pardon my transgression, and take away my iniquity? for now shall I sleep in the dust; and thou shalt seek me in the morning, but I shall not be.
Job 8
1Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,
2How long wilt thou speak these things? and how long shall the words of thy mouth be like a strong wind?
3Doth God pervert judgment? or doth the Almighty pervert justice?
4If thy children have sinned against him, and he have cast them away for their transgression;
5If thou wouldest seek unto God betimes, and make thy supplication to the Almighty;
6If thou wert pure and upright; surely now he would awake for thee, and make the habitation of thy righteousness prosperous.
7Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should greatly increase.
Expect Him to show up
Psalm 3 1/25/10
1Lord, how are they increased that trouble me! many are they that rise up against me.
2Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. Selah.
3But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.
4I cried unto the LORD with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah.
5I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me.
6I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about.
7Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God: for thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone; thou hast broken the teeth of the ungodly.
8Salvation belongeth unto the LORD: thy blessing is upon thy people. Selah.
This says it all, no need to explain. God is in control.
The Word from God 1/24/10
God spoke so clearly about the reason for our marriage has had so many issues. This was during the song “I wont let the rocks cry out in my place” (Antioch).
“from the beginning I have held on to things Barbara has done and then I do things to either get even or to protect me from my fears. Then she does something else because of how I handled things and the repetition continues.
I must now take the high road and forgive and forget all she has fone and FORGET IT. Do not let her return bring up anything she has done now come up as an issue.
I must lead by example and not let things go on and on.
If you obey me, you will go from strength to strength” says God.
The word from God 1/19/10
As I prayed, the Lord said “All tools are provided for my use so use them.”
Sounds simple, but Lord, please show them to me and show me how to use them.
Just figured out the “FIRST TOOL”…that is Prayer.
Supporting Family and friends to use the tool of prayer to repair and restore. Aunt Olga, Aunt Peggy, Joy, Colin, Tricia, Nuseve, Jewett
Psalm 21:1-3, 7-8, 11-12 1/15/10
1The king shall joy in thy strength, O LORD; and in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice!
2Thou hast given him his heart’s desire, and hast not with holden the request of his lips. Selah.
3For thou preventest him with the blessings of goodness: thou settest a crown of pure gold on his head.
7For the king trusteth in the LORD, and through the mercy of the most High he shall not be moved.
8Thine hand shall find out all thine enemies: thy right hand shall find out those that hate thee.
11For they intended evil against thee: they imagined a mischievous device, which they are not able to perform.
12Therefore shalt thou make them turn their back, when thou shalt make ready thine arrows upon thy strings against the face of them.
Rejoice in God’s strength and His grace and He will give me my heart’s desire for my marriage. He will provide blessings for me and lift me up give me understanding and because I trust in Him, I cannot be moved but the enemy.The enemies and those that hate me will be found out and none of their evil and mischievous plans and schemes will come to pass. They will have to run from me and cannot face me when God returns fire. Dem lose again, yeah, satan lose.
Psalm 19:7 1/13/10
7The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.
God’s law about marriage is perfect, (We are forever ONE) therefore it will convert, transform and revive our minds to believing and acting accordingly. His testimony will bring clarity and wisdom to those who did not understand.
WORD FROM GOD 1/4/10
Word concerning fast and us…see Notes to B
Isaiah 42
22But this is a people robbed and spoiled; they are all of them snared in holes, and they are hid in prison houses: they are for a prey, and none delivereth; for a spoil, and none saith, Restore.
Isaiah 42
1But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine.
God is saying that when everything is going wrong I have tried everything except going to God and asking Him to RESTORE the situation. In other words, I must go to Him for Him to RESTORE my marriage and stop trying to fix it myself..
Then, in Isaiah 43:1 God says BUT NOW, so in spite of my short comings DO NOT FEAR, because He has redeemed me and I am His.
So, don’t worry, in spite of me not going to Him at first, He says “BUT NOW” do not fear, all is well, all will be well because I am His.
Malachi 2:16
“For I hate divorce” says the Lord, the God of Israel, “and (I also hate) him who covers his garment with wrong,” says the Lord of hosts. “So take heed to your spirit, that you do not deal treacherously.”
Psalm 7:1 (First Scripture for 2010)
O LORD my God, in thee do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me:
So as I trust God and put all my trust in him He will save me from my persecutors and He will deliver me from all situations.
I now have a new level of trust, total confidence and expectation that God is coming through.
You cannot depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus. -Mark Twain
Stop letting my imagination cause me to believe things that do not exist. Calm down and trust God to bring us through and trust Barbara knowing that she is honorable and decent and faithful.
Job 42:10
10And the LORD turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before.
as I pray for others God will turn things around and make my situation twice as good for me.
Proverbs 24:17 My Enemies can hinder my breakthrough
17 Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth:
Matthew 18:34-35
34And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him.
35So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.
I have to make sure that no hatred resides in me for my enemies. That way, I cannot be happy or get satisfaction when my enemies fall or stumble.
Instead, forgive them and pray for them and God will free me of any torment and pain.
WORD FROM GOD 12/18/09 7am
What did I do Lord, and what should I do (about the situation)?
“This is not for you (to fix), this is for me. Trust me” said God.
It is so hard for me to trust Him when everything seems to be going downhill, when Barbara seems to have totally let go and is gone, and when she is numb towards me, but God said that He has to fix it and I must trust Him so I have to believe that he is working behind the scenes and fixing things for Barbara and myself.
Trusting is hard so it is time to walk the talk, all the talk of knowing God is being tested in the most intimate way. I only have Him to hold on to so I am holding on, trusting Him and see Him work for us.
Romans 14:19: 12/18/09
19Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another. KJV
19Let us therefore make every effort to do what leads to peace and to mutual edification. NIV
Follow this principle as I look for resolutions, reconciliation and progress in our marriage. Make sure that in whatever I do, my aim is for both of us to learn some good lessons from this experience.
Psalm 139:7-10 12/11/09 Aunt Olga
7Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?
8If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.
9If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;
10Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.
In this time I wonder where you are God. Where are you?
Now I know, now I know that you are here with me, regardless of where I have placed myself. Thanks for not giving up on me Lord.
2 Corinthians 5:17-20 12/6/09
17Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
18And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;
19To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
20Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God
God has made the change in me and now it is being manifested.
I know who I am and the NEW me, the changed me is being seen.
Now that there is a new me, a changed me, then comes reconciliation to God and in my marriage.
Trust in the Lord God Almighty and Go……Mundy
Psalm 118:8: 12/2/09
8It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.
This scripture came is here just in time. For me and for Barbara, God is saying that we must truct him.
I have been saying that we should be wanting to be in God’s perfect will and I know that his perfect will for our marriage and all marriages is that we be one forever. But this scripture says even more. This verse is the center of the bible, and the bible is God’s word and His will, therefore at the center of His will is trust in Him.
Now we must trust him to keep us as one.
Hebrews 11:1-6
1Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
2For by it the elders obtained a good report.
3Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
4By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.
5By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.
6But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
I am pleasing God as I have and excercise my faith expecting to see the thing I need to see and believing that He is God and he will reward me for my faith in Him.
Ezekiel 22:29-31
29The people of the land have used oppression, and exercised robbery, and have vexed the poor and needy: yea, they have oppressed the stranger wrongfully.
30And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none.
31Therefore have I poured out mine indignation upon them; I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath: their own way have I recompensed upon their heads, saith the Lord GOD.
God always expects that someone to stand in the gap to make representation for the oppressed and wrongfully accused.
He doesn’t take kindly to folks who will not take a stand, so the expected person or persons will feel his wrath and will repay them with the same treatment they giving to others.
1 Peter 3:7
Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.
Psalm 53:4-5
4Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread: they have not called upon God.
5There were they in great fear, where no fear was: for God hath scattered the bones of him that encampeth against thee: thou hast put them to shame, because God hath despised them.
As long as I Keep being God’s “my people” , he will despise them and scatter their bones or scatter them if and when they come against me and I will put them to shame.
Keep close to Him and trust Him to do it as He has done before.
Matt 21:22 11/18/09
And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.
I pray and expect to see our marriage totally restored and to realize total happiness as God does his miracle in our lives.
from Moments with You for Couples 5/31/10
Pray for the grace to walk through trials with a faith strong enough to still be speaking long after the situation has come and gone. Can you pray, “We cannot, Lord, Thy purpose see, but all is well that’s done by Thee”?
Surrender and receive fresh rain… Ps 63:1. 5/31/10
O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;
“Pastor Benny said, “When you are completely surrendered you begin to feel fresh rain to touch the dry grounds of your soul.”
