CONTINUE WITH PSALM 23 THE LADY SPEAKS

 Our words are like a silkworm's cocoon; you know, you can say some things, it really does not make that much difference, but we continue to say some things over the length of our lives. Those words come up like a silk cocoon and bind us up.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

All the time, we are spinning a cocoon like a silkworm; you will have what you have been speaking, good or bad.

 

You say that is not fair. Fair or not, it is a spiritual principle that you violate, and consequences are built into the violation.

 

Like gravity, you violate the law of gravity, suffer consequences, and hit the ground with a big splatter. Now gravity did not hate you, but you violated the LAW OF GRAVITY, and a consequence was built into the violation.

 

There are spiritual laws God has in place; you violate them, and the consequences are built in. You abuse your body; it will dilapidate on you. Speak negative, and you will have negative.

We speak a few things, and we can break out of that, and a few more weeks; after months, we find we cannot break out what we have been speaking.

 The Scripture says you are snared by the words of your mouth, and it does not happen overnight; it occurs throughout time.

We are going to look at Psalm 23 in a different light. We will not look at it like a prayer they say at funerals, but we will look at it as David's confession, his mouth confession of life in life as a King, And he became a King.  

 

Not just a King but the greatest one, Israel ever had. He was a shepherd boy who found out some things on the backside of the desert, and it catapulted him into a KING!

 

What do you want in your life?

 You can have it if you will follow these principles from King David. All the time, we are spinning a cocoon-like silkworm; you will have what you have been speaking, good or bad. The Scripture says you are snared by the words of your mouth, and it does not happen overnight; it occurs throughout time.

 

ANSWERS THESE QUESTIONS:

 

PONDER THESE AND ANSWER TRUTHFULLY.  

CAN YOU RECALL THE WORDS YOU HAVE BEEN SPEAKING?

IS THERE ANYTHING YOU CAN CHANGE IN YOUR WORDS?

Immediately?

 

DO YOU NOT WANT YOUR LIFE TO WORK?

 

GOD CREATED YOUR LIFE TO WORK, BELIEVE IT, AND CHANGE.

CHAPTER TWO

EPIPHANY NEEDS TO HAPPEN

 

David did not have Mark 11:23 "Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them."  NKJ

 

David did not have the New Testament but spent his early life on the backside of the desert, singing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs.

Getting to know God intimately. They that know their God shall do exploits.

Exploits mean

A deed or act; more significantly, a heroic act; a deed of renown; a great or noble achievement

 

As recorded in Daniel 11:32-45 King James Version.

 

Three ideas are contained in this verse.

 

There is the thought

of knowing God, being strong, and doing exploits. God's people are characterized by

 

What they know,

What they are. What they do.

Believers (Christians) differ from worldly and unconverted People in these three respects – knowing, being, and doing.

Notice that these three characteristics of the child of God are related, for only as we know God can we be strong.

 And only as we are strong Can we Undertake exploits in the name of the Lord?

If we are not doing exploits for God, it is because we are not strong; and if we are not strong, it is because we do not know God well enough. Looking at King David's life, we can take from Daniel in the Bible as David most assuredly did, and we today can.

 

IT IS UP TO YOU TO LEARN AND DO.

 

This is the reason David could come down and fight

Goliath when the men of Israel could not.

An exploit is:

" A heroic deed of achievement,"; an incredible and daring feat.

The Bible contains illustrations of men and women who did exploits for God.

Think of Gideon and his 300 (Judges 7:19-23).

Samson (Judges 14:5-6);

 

Elijah on Carmel (1 Kings 18:36-39).

And see God's picture gallery of the heroes of Faith in Hebrews 11

 

Think of the apostles and the early Christians who put their very lives in peril to share Jesus, the Gospel, and the good news with mankind! Their lives for the name of the Lord (Acts 15:26) and turned the world upside down (Acts 17:6)!

If we really know God and are thereby made strong in Him, we also shall do exploits, and we shall do them in two ways:

 

1.    By prayer. We shall find ourselves walking in the footsteps of great men and women of God who, by prayer alone," moved the arm that rules the world."

 

2.    By Witnessing. We shall find ourselves walking in the footsteps of the early Christians, whose hearts were so full of The love of Christ that their lips were constantly filled with the message of the Gospel as they went from place to place, seeing the power and grace of God.
