Micah The Prophet

Micah 3:8-11

But me—I'm filled with God's power,

filled with God's Spirit of justice and strength,

Ready to confront Jacob's crime

and Israel's sin.

The leaders of Jacob and

the leaders of Israel are

Leaders contemptuous of justice,

who twist and distort right living,

Leaders who build Zion by killing people,

who expand Jerusalem by committing crimes.

Judges sell verdicts to the highest bidder,

priests mass-market their teaching,

prophets preach for high fees,

All the while posturing and pretending

dependence on God:

"We've got God on our side.

He'll protect us from disaster."

I agree with Micah, "I am filled with The Spirit, speaking to myself, in Psalms, Hymns, and spiritual songs... Making melody in my heart to The Lord..." Really that is what he was saying in his day he had The Holy Spirit on him because of a called out place in The Lord... He was seeing things through the Eyes and Heart of God... The injustice of his day and ours is no different, also It was no different for Micah then you are I, except that he was filled by and on; We are filled In And Throughout of The Spirit of God Through Christ Jesus!

I Want To Visit With You

Philemon 1:21-25:

"I write to you [perfectly] confident of your obedient compliance, knowing that you will do even more than I ask.

At the same time prepare a guest room [in expectation of extending your hospitality] to me, for I am hoping through your prayers to be granted [the gracious privilege of coming] to you.

Greetings to you from Epaphras, my fellow prisoner here in [the cause of] Christ Jesus (the Messiah),

And [from] Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, my fellow workers.

The grace (blessing and favor) of the Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah) be with your spirit. Amen (so be it)."

Paul said to his friend that his hope was that, "I can come and visit you... Praying I can... You pray I can..." Wow don't you love how much he knew they would want him.... Being a prisoner of Christ with a Bro like Paul would be awesome to me!

His Voice Makes Me Glad

Psalms 29:3-6

"The voice of the Lord is upon the waters; the God of glory thunders; the Lord is upon many (great) waters.

The voice of the Lord is powerful; the voice of the Lord is full of majesty.

The voice of the Lord breaks the cedars; yes, the Lord breaks in pieces the cedars of Lebanon.

He makes them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion (Mount Hermon) like a young, wild ox."

His Voice makes me dance for joy, laugh out loud... Spin around again and again... Because I know His Voice and hear Him Clearly!

Peter Made It Out

Acts 12:5-12

"All the time that Peter was under heavy guard in the jailhouse, the church prayed for him most strenuously.

Then the time came for Herod to bring him out for the kill. That night, even though shackled to two soldiers, one on either side, Peter slept like a baby. And there were guards at the door keeping their eyes on the place. Herod was taking no chances!

Suddenly there was an angel at his side and light flooding the room. The angel shook Peter and got him up: "Hurry!" The handcuffs fell off his wrists. The angel said, "Get dressed. Put on your shoes." Peter did it. Then, "Grab your coat and let's get out of here." Peter followed him, but didn't believe it was really an angel—he thought he was dreaming.

Past the first guard and then the second, they came to the iron gate that led into the city. It swung open before them on its own, and they were out on the street, free as the breeze. At the first intersection the angel left him, going his own way. That's when Peter realized it was no dream. "I can't believe it—this really happened! The Master sent his angel and rescued me from Herod's vicious little production and the spectacle the Jewish mob was looking forward to."

Still shaking his head, amazed, he went to Mary's house, the Mary who was John Mark's mother. The house was packed with praying friends."

Peter Made it Out of his bondage by 1.) Prayer of the saints; 2.) The Lord sent an angel to assist in the escape; 3.) he obeyed the Angels orders...

Then going to the house of John Mark's momma, where the saints were, and testifying of God's goodness... These are our "faith Examples," with Our Lives Hid with Jesus In God Our Father.

James' The Tongue Talker

James 1:12-14

"Blessed (happy,to be envied) is the man who is patient under trial and stands up under temptation, for when he has stood the test and been approved, he will receive [the victor’s] crown of life which God has promised to those who love Him.

Let no one say when he is tempted, I am tempted from God; for God is incapable of being tempted by [what is] evil and He Himself tempts no one.

But every person is tempted when he is drawn away, enticed and baited by his own evil desire (lust, passions)."

James kept his preaching and teaching a long the same lines as Jesus did when He was with them... Watch what you say about Jesus... He never will lead you anywhere, or to say anything but Truth...

The Beloved of Jesus'

Jude 1:1-3

"JUDE, A servant of Jesus Christ (the Messiah), and brother of James, [writes this letter] to those who are called (chosen), dearly loved by God the Father and separated (set apart) and kept for Jesus Christ:

May mercy, [soul] peace, and love be multiplied to you.

Beloved, my whole concern was to write to you in regard to our common salvation. [But] I found it necessary and was impelled to write you and urgently appeal to and exhort [you] to contend for the faith which was once for all handed down to the saints [the faith which is that sum of Christian belief which was delivered verbally to the holy people of God]."

The beloved called, Saint...please content with your faith in the finished Work of Christ Jesus!

Righteous Rule

Double Hearted

"Psalms 12:2-5

To his neighbor each one speaks words without use or worth or truth; with flattering lips and double heart [deceitfully] they speak.

May the Lord cut off all flattering lips and the tongues that speak proud boasting,

Those who say, With our tongues we prevail; our lips are our own [to command at our will]—who is lord and master over us?

Now will I arise, says the Lord, because the poor are oppressed, because of the groans of the needy; I will set him in safety and in the salvation for which he pants."

The Lord will tell us what He wants to do with these who oppress the poor, and needy. This could be their spiritual neediness of Him. 

Double hearted, double minded and double in speech.

4. Awaken to a Miracle

For with God, Promises of His, Is Yes So Be It

2 Corinthians 1:20

For as many as are the promises of God, they all find their Yes [answer] in Him [Christ]. For this reason we also utter the Amen (so be it) to God through Him [in His Person and by His agency] to the glory of God.

When the conditions that He required was met, we can be assured that they are done. God Is not a lying person, but A Truth Filled God.
