Yet they would not hear… Isaiah 28:11-12 11 For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people. 12 To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear. …yet they would not hear. This prediction still holds as the acceptance of tongues is still rejected even in the Church. Notice: Acts 2:5-6 5 And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven. 6 Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language. However: Acts 2:13 13 Others mocking said, These men are full of new wine. This was predicted in Isaiah 28. Isaiah told the drunkards that they would be taught as deserved by stammering lips (Hebrew: jester, mocker) that it basically would sound like gibberish to them. ..yet they would not hear. This also was shown in Acts 2. The devout men of every nation WERE GIVEN understanding by God as to what was said. Others, Acts 2:13 mocked this saying they were drunk. Why, because they were hearing stammering lips. Those interested in the things of God will hear His voice. There will also be those who mock who will not be given revelation. This also would prove they were not speaking any known tongue because EACH devout man heard EACH speaker in his native tongue. This corresponds with scripture that it would not be a known tongue: 1 Corinthians 14:2 2 For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries. To the mockers, it sounded like nonsense. Same as today. Very abundant here: Matthew 13:12 12 For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath.

My mother, daughter and mother-in-law and a great message from my wife, Lori! Happy Mother’s Day!

The Anointing that breaks all yokes… Isaiah 10:27 And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing. Compare this to New Testament: 2 Thessalonians 2:8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: His ‘Brightness’ is the anointing! As we see the anointing, His brightness will destroy the antichrist, Father God let your Brightness be poured out in greater measure over your Church today for a greater harvest of souls in these last days. Amen!

A Multitude of Sins…. A devotional from Lori devote2day.com/blog/a-multit…

The Hiding Place Psalms 32:7 Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah. Psalms 119:114 Thou art my hiding place and my shield: I hope in thy word. As we see in our Book of Instructions, let us find that hiding place in the Rock that is Christ (1 Cor 10:4) and be a doer of that Word: Matthew 7:24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: Let us hide ourselves in the Word of God and let His praises from our lips bring songs of deliverance and we will find ourselves here: ‘He hideth my life in the depths of His love, And covers me there with His hand’ Colossians 3:1-3 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. Jesus Christ, our Hiding Place!

Sound the loud timbrel o'er Egypt's dark sea! Sound the loud timbrel o'er Egypt's dark sea! Jehovah has triumph'd -- His people are free! Sing -- for the pride of the tyrant is broken, His chariots, his horsemen, all splendid and brave, How vain was their boasting! -- the Lord hath but spoken… -Poem by Thomas Moore based on Exodus 15, Miriam’s Song We see Israel confronted by the real, physical impending doom by a vast Egyptian army. However there was another, more powerful reality - The Lord had SPOKEN Israel’s victory. We also are given our example in Romans 4. Abraham ‘considered not’ the deadness of his body nor the deadness of Sarah’s womb - both real, physical mountains to prevent childbirth (verse 19 King James Version) Why did he ‘consider not’? There was a more powerful reality - The Lord had spoken! He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; And being FULLY PERSUADED that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform. Do we forget ALL of His benefits the we are commanded not to forget: Psalms 103:2-5 Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s. If we are to ‘consider not’ those things that are contrary to God’s Word, what should we ‘consider’? Hebrews 3:1 Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, CONSIDER the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus; Jesus Christ, the Living Word, the sword of the Spirit which is a more powerful reality than the real problems that confront us daily. Let us take this approach literally: Proverbs 4:20-22 My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh. Praise The Lord for He has spoken!

There is freedom when... A devotional from Lori devote2day.com/blog/there-is…

Forever settled. Psalms 119:89 Forever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven. Matthew 4:23 And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people. We see that in Jesus’ ministry teaching and preaching preceded the healing because faith only comes by hearing God’s Word. Romans 10:17

…and would have passed by them. Mark 6:48 And he saw them toiling in rowing; for the wind was contrary unto them: and about the fourth watch of the night he cometh unto them, walking upon the sea, and would have passed by them. Jesus tells us to ‘watch’ as well as pray. In the midst of turmoil, trial and test, if our eyes are only on the circumstance, will we miss the Savior who is actually present to deliver? Let’s keep our eyes on the Living Word, Jesus and His written Word for our deliverance from the storms of life. Psalms 107:29-31 He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still. Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he bringeth them unto their desired haven. Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!

The Red Sea - devotional by Lori devote2day.com/blog/the-red-…

Psalms 40:6-8 Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required. Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me, I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart. Would we know this is a Messianic prophecy without the revelation given in Hebrews 10:5-9?

John 1:16-17 And of his fullness have all we received, and grace for grace. For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.

This is great! Call upon the name of the Lord and be saved!!! “He brought me up… out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings. And he hath put a new song in my mouth… (Ps. 40: 2,3). Here we find a man crying to God out of “a horrible pit.” A pit of horrors, indeed, for the original implies a place of “chaos, confusion, conflict, noise, tumult, dimness, darkness, disorder, despair, death, and destruction.” Rotherham translates it “the destroying pit,” so all in it are doomed by the mere fact that they are there.”… “The bait was the knowledge of good and evil. The prize was won but at what a cost! For Adam and Eve fell into the pit; and all their progeny, from that day to this, were born there. And from the pit there is no human way of escape. Men have sought out many inventions, embellished their pit dwellings with magnificent works of art, perfected systems of philosophy, even erected retaining walls, and laid down paving stones of ethical culture to prevent people from sinking deeper in the mire; but no man has ever been able to find a way out. In other words, with all the genius manifested by pit dwellers, there is no power in the pit to extricate anyone from its depths.” “As there is no power in the pit to deliver, it is evident that if anyone is to escape eternal doom, aid must come from above, and that is precisely what happened. One day, while heaven resounded with anthems of praise, Jesus Christ, the effulgence of the Father’s glory and the expression of His substance, rose–“ and the light in heaven grew dimmer as He left His father’s side”—and came, down, down, DOWN, from the rainbow-circled throne on the sapphire pavement, down from the adoration of the living creatures who cease not day nor night crying, “Holy, holy, holy!” Down from the glory, which He had with the Father before all worlds. Down past whirling planets, burning suns, and rotating systems, to this dark world, to the very verge of the noisome pit, crying: …Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me… to do thy will, O my God… (Ps. 40: 7,8). Plunged into the deepest depths of that awful abyss of darkness, a voice was heard from heaven proclaiming: …Deliver him from going down to the pit: I have found a ransom (Job 33: 24).” — His Healing Power: Four Classic Books on Healing, Complete in One Volume by Lilian B.

Ecclesiastes 12:1 Remember now thy Creator… “This is a positive command and therefore very important. But, why did not God say remember your keeper, provider, preserver, benefactor, or God? He is to us all these blessed names signify, but He bids us remember Him as Creator because we need to be created in Christ. One says—“ I was created in Christ when I was born again.” True, but have you all of Christ that you desire to have? Can you not see things in Christ that you lack? If you cannot, perhaps others do and by a careful, honest comparison of yourself with Christ, I believe you will find things in Him that you lack. God took great pains to tell us how He created natural things so that we might have great confidence in His creating in us the needed spiritual things.” — The Life of Faith by Cornelia Nuzum
