Brother Gary Kelly Wednesday Evening 2/27/13

Psa 65:4  Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach unto thee, that he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, even of thy holy temple.

Four things we see in this scripture: 

Blessed is the man that is called to approach God.  We are blessed to feel called to the place of prayer.  We are blessed when we feel the words of that song, “Alone With God.”  We are blessed when the still small voice tell us that we are called to seek God and find out what He has to say.  We are blessed to be given thoughts and hear the thoughts that God has given others.

We are blessed to know about worship, about reality, about something past friendship: fellowship.  We are blessed to know about edification, to be edifying one to another.  It is not just left to the minister, but we are all to be edifying and edified of one another.

We are blessed to be called to worship.  It brings a satisfaction with the goodness of His courts, the Church of God.  Worship brings the effects of being satisfied with the word of God, with the communion with God, and the Holy Ghost.

1Pe 2:9  But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:

Being a purchased possession:  We are a chosen generation…  a peculiar people.  This phrase means “a purchased possession.”  It is wonderful to be purchased, to realize that we are not our own.  It is wonderful all that goes into the thought that we are not our own but belong to God.  We are to glorify God in our body and in our spirit which is God’s.

We are to show forth His praises.  We are very blessed this evening to be called.  We are blessed that we answered the call.  Many are called but few answer the call.  In order to be chosen you must answer the call.

Rev 17:14 it is a real battle against the eighth beast and everything that is gathering itself together in the eighth beast.  The eighth beast shall make war with the Lamb.  You can rest assured that if you have Jesus on the inside, you will have others on the outside that are warring with you. 

Karen and I walked into a place where the man that was supposed to greet us had no greeting.  He literally expressed disgust or hatred to us and we had some money to spend.  There was nothing different about us other than we had Jesus.  The Lamb will still overcome.  It doesn’t matter who rises against you or the little tender one, the Lamb will overcome.

God inspired John to tell us that the Lamb is Lord of lords and King of kings.  He is the High God.  This is the true God; this is the one that sent His son that gave His blood that makes an atonement for our sin and even of the sprinkling of blood for healing. 

It is a marvelous thing tonight to think of one perfect lamb that came upon the scene that paid the price for all sin and all carnality.  The life that was in that blood overcame death and gives life and life more abundantly.

Those that are with the Lord of lords and King of kings are the called.  They are the ones that have answered the call.  They are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood.  Not only are they the called and chosen, they will be faithful. 

Sis Griffin speaks of going into the room of Sister Etta Faith Stewart.  This sister had a heartache from being expelled from India.  This dear sister found an altar somewhere and got a hold of this true God.  She knew that she was a part of the chosen generation and of the royal priesthood.  She knew that she had been moved out by an unholy movement.  She knew that she had been bought with a price and she got a hold of God. 

She came back to the states, pastored a bit at Anderson Indiana and then began to pray, “God I need a better mission field than this place.”  She came to camp-meeting and prayed that God would lead her.  She told someone that she would go as far south as you can in the USA and then go to the first island that she found.  They said, “You are going to Cuba.” 

She knew the King of kings, the Lord of lords.  She was one that was called, chosen, and faithful.  The church of God is still reaping from her efforts. 

Blessed is the man whom thou chooses and causes to approach to thee:  kings and priests worshipping God.  We are blessed to have the wonderful pattern of Tabernacle Worship.  Every once in a while we need to remind our self to go back to Tabernacle worship and make sure that we are covering everything.

The brazen altar is where we are delivered from sin.  I saw a picture of DO Teasley the other day.  A fine looking young man so gifted and used of God.  He didn’t stay with Tabernacle worship, but died with a cigarette in his mouth and said, “I am lost forever.”

We don’t need to be afraid of the laver.  God whatever you want to wash away, I want you to wash.

Jesus is the door.  Once you get inside the door, you find the table of shew bread.  On it there is olive oil to dip the bread in.  There are some herbs in it to make it taste good.  He gives us bread every night and whenever we need, the wonderful Word of God.

The pillar is the overcoming brethren.  Yet I believe that it is more than that.  When you are fighting unbelief then get in and get a hold of the golden pillar, buy gold tired in the fire, the precious faith of God.

The candlestick:  You can get there and ask God to shine His light on the inside of you, on the outside of you, and on everything that you have.

It is wonderful to present yourself a living sacrifice on the golden altar.  We can go there and say, “God it is still there.”  We can go there with the blood of Christ and say, “anything that you want to purge away I want purged.”

You can go into the holiest of holies and find perfect love, perfect communion with God.  There is a place where no other voice can be heard. 

There is a lot of noise in the world.  Life is like the waves hitting upon the rocks.  Sometimes we can feel the waves hitting on the rocks, feel the tempest. 

There is a place where the storm clouds cannot hit.  We can have perfect hearing, perfectly hearing what the Spirit has to say to the church, and perfect communion with Christ in the Holy Spirit.

We are so blessed.
