Psalm 44:4-8
You are my King, O God; Command victories for Jacob. Through You we will push down our enemies; Through Your name we will trample those who rise up against us. For I will not trust in my bow, Nor shall my sword save me. But You have saved us from our enemies, And have put to shame those who hated us. In God we boast all day long, And praise Your name forever. Selah
Yes, Selah. Pause and take in the Word of the Lord!
I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me!
Victory is assured because the Master in Command has gone forth! He has defeated the enemy, every enemy you can muster up! Behold, the Lord cometh out of His abode! He comes with fierce anger and wrath upon our enemies. He will tread them underfoot! He will destroy them with the Spirit of His mouth!
TERRIBLE! Yes, terrible is the Day of the Lord!
Now, let's cross-analyze. Your present situation, BEHOLD, the Lord cometh!
Surrounded on every side, BEHOLD, in His name shall we conquer. By Him we shall overcome!
Your circumstances would love to weigh you down, but this BOOK says, "But GOD!" Every time the words are put together, be expecting.
Why do you stress? Why do you pout? The battle is not yours, the battle is the Lord's!
So, really, what I'm saying is this:
In His name, by His authority, we are powerful because of His blood, power, and might! The power and authority has been issued forth from God that we might be where He is. Walking on the water with JESUS!
Envied, hated, reviled, rejected, and all that good stuff. BUT, notoriously victorious!
WE WILL PRAISE HIS NAME FOREVER, the BORN-AGAIN BELIEVERS in JESUS' NAME!

Clarity of His Severity
Romans 11:21-22
For if God did not spare the natural branches, He may not spare you either. Therefore consider the goodness and severity of God: on those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you continue in His goodness. Otherwise you also will be cut off.
God is good! But, don't misread into His goodness! To be plain and clear, YOU CAN GET CUT!
Don't ever stop to believe that God will keep you if you're not even holding on. Every trial that comes your way is to test the trust that you have in this God. John 15 says, you can get cut!
Fire is the trial that the Lord uses. There's a fiery trial that God has in plan for this world. A lot will be cut off! The earth will be utterly shaken! Don't ever start to think that God cannot cut you off of His remnant. Listen folks, its all about Him! There's nothing else out there. All the religions of this world is nonsense if Jesus isn't recognized as the Christ, the Messiah, the Anointed One! He is the supreme manifestation of God. Revealed to us in the flesh and we MUST behold His glory!
That Man of Nazareth, though He is exceedingly merciful, His whole essence bears SEVERITY! He speaks as One with authority! Who is He? He is GOD and THAT'S that! Simple!
Don't ever stop to think that He can't cut you! If you're not holding to Him, it's only a matter of time before He let's go of you!
Here's wisdom, He cut Israel off, those are His own people! They're His regardless of what they think or say! If He's done it to them, He'll do it to you!
The same God that's beautiful is also biblically described as TERRIBLE!
Believers BEWARE: Draw near to God and He'll draw near to you. Same goes that if we hold on to Him, He'll also hold on to us!
This is CLARITY of the LORD'S SEVERITY.
This walk is serious...

Behind Enemy Lines
"So the Philistines fought, and Israel was defeated, and every man fled to his tent. There was a very great slaughter, and there fell of Israel thirty thousand foot soldiers. Also the ark of God was captured; and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, died."
The Philistines were mighty men with a mighty fear. They heard the children of Israel shouting for the Ark of God had entered the camp. They were unintelligible concerning the things of the God of Israel, but they did know one thing; His fame. They knew that God or whoever Israel's gods were were the ones or One that plagued Egypt. God's fame was spread throughout all of Israel and beyond its borders.
But, despite their knowledge, they continued on with the process of defeating Israel... or they thought they did. The Philistines had the audacity to capture the Ark.
This was a time of sorrow for all of Israel, but little did they know what God was in the midst of doing. To Israel, the glory had departed, but to God, the glory was coming back. Israel lost the battle but God fought the good fight and won the battle behind enemy lines!
The Ark was captured and brought before Dagon, the Philistine god. They placed it there that the God of Israel might be found worshiping the god of the Philistines. This was a very foolish move.
After day one, the Philistines came in their temple to find Dagon face down on the ground before the Ark of God. Do they not know? Worship the LORD all ye gods!
Therefore, they set Dagon back up. After day two, they found Dagon on the ground once more! This time, both palms of his hands and his head were broken before the Ark of God!
Listen folks! The battle is not yours, the battle is the Lord's! He does the job a lot better than we can! Israel failed but the God of Israel sure didn't! Perhaps, He got the job done!
The Ark traveled behind enemy lines and fought Israel's battle. Once again, the Lord is proven victorious!
Ever wonder why we fail sometimes? IT's God's platform to be Victorious and Glorious in our trauma.
Also, Jesus proves to be God manifest in the flesh. According to the Gospel accounts, He entered death, hell, and the grave and conquered all.
Our God is the God that fights our battles behind enemy lines!

Agreed!
Amos 3:3
"Can two walk together, unless they are agreed?"
Simple question with a simple answer. They can't!
But, many accomplishments can be dealt with if they are agreed upon.
As Bro Arnold says, "The Miraculous Power of Oneness!" But, oneness was meant to be in unity with one another. A house divided cannot stand, but a house united will stable a fall.
To agree means to have the same views or to harmonize in opinion or feeling. Truth is, God's greatest need for His people is to agree. Jesus said, "Where two or three agree, I am in their midst."
If you want God to touch down on your world, grab a brother or sister's hand and agree!
The Church is a community in which the presence of the Most High resides. If His people don't agree, His hands are tied. You cannot expect miraculous power in your midst if you are not in agreement.
The prison doors would not have been opened if Paul and Silas did not join their voices in singing praises to God.
There is great power in agreement! The key reason for the growth of the Apostolic Church from Acts 2 and on was that they agreed! They continued steadfastly in the apostles' doctrine. They were in constant fellowship with eachother. But, most of all, they were in agreement!
The Bible says in Acts 2:44: "All the believers were together and had everything in common."
They agreed! Thus, to conclude, here's the reason for the ministry that God has ordained. God has always sought for a vessel to use for His work. Jesus, is the ultimate vessel for the Bible says, "Sacrifice and offering You did not desire, But a body You have prepared for Me." Hebrews 10:5
But, that body has been resurrected and serves as the express image of the invisible Spirit that works all in all!
Here's revelation! As soon as that body, the Man Jesus, ascended into Heaven, He left the Promise of the Spirit in several men and women to continue the work that He began. His Promise, the promise of His presence, goes with us wherever we go. We are the church!
To continue, God has ordained the five-fold ministry for a particular purpose.
And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ— from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love. -Ephesians 4:11-16
All God really wants is for His people to be AGREED!
