But unto the Son He saith,
Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever:
a sceptre of righteousness is the
sceptre of Thy kingdom. Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity;
therefore God, even Thy God, hath
anointed Thee with the oil of gladness above Thy fellows.
Anointed with the oil of gladness, and calling us
His friends, for He has made known to us what the Father has shown Him. It is time to rejoice, both now and forever!Monday, February 18, 2013

Latter and Former Rain
Hosea 6:3
Then shall we know, if
we follow on to know the LORD: His going forth is prepared as the morning; and He
shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and
former rain unto the earth.
During the millennium and beyond we shall know, as
we follow on to know Him, for He Who is perfect will be revealed and we shall
be changed to perfection. He is the Sun of Righteousness, Whose way is prepared
as the glorious sunrise. The former and latter rain will usher in the coming of
the King of kings and Lord of lords. The Holy Spirit is about to be poured out
on all flesh, as a glorious witness of the Prince of Peace for eternity.Saturday, February 16, 2013
He Will Raise Us Up
Hosea 6:2
After two days will He revive us: in the third day He
will raise us up, and we shall live in His sight.
Here is a picture of the coming resurrection. The
Lord Jesus was two days in hell before He led captivity captive. He was raised
up on the third day. Since the cross it has been two thousand years, which is
as two days to the LORD. During this time He has purposed to revive humanity.
Now we are in the third day when He will raise up mankind. Make straight paths
for your feet, He is even at the door. The time is at hand when the faithful
shall live in His sight for eternity, even as He purposed from the foundation
of the world.

He Will Heal Us
Hosea 6:1
Come, and let us return unto the LORD: for He hath
torn, and He will heal us; He hath smitten, and He will bind us up.
The LORD corrects according to His ways of judgment:
righteously, and always on the side of His truth. There are no grey areas with
God, only unbelief by men. Consider this: if one ignores God’s law of gravity
and steps off a cliff, there are consequences. So when this passage describes
tearing and smiting, this is His faithfulness to His judgment. When it
describes healing and binding up of wounds, it is His abundant mercy when we
return to Him.

Grace Unto the Hearers
Ephesians 4:29
Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth,
but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto
the hearers.
Corrupt communication is rotten,
worthless, or empty. It ministers vanity or deception, and the world is full of
it these days. As believers, we are to build one another up, keeping in mind
that God gave each of us wonderful gifts that we did not deserve, and would
have been unable to receive otherwise.

Revealed Unto Children
Luke 10:21
In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I
thank Thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that Thou hast hid these things
from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so, Father;
for so it seemed good in Thy sight.
It is essential that we humble ourselves as
children before the LORD. The difficulty only arises when we think we know more
than we do. Become like a child before Him, and receive His revelation of
redemptive authority. This is the power that transforms our lives and shapes us
in His image.

Freely Given To Us
1 Corinthians 2:12
Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but
the Spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given
to us of God.
