Brother Gary Wednesday Evening 7/8/15

Mat 21:12  And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves,

Mat 21:13  And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.

It is so wonderful to know about worship, praising, thanking, and beseeching God. 

Mat 21:14  And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple; and he healed them.

It is wonderful how God, His Son, and the Holy Spirit work even in the situations that are not that great in the onset.

Mat 21:15  And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the Son of David; they were sore displeased,

Hosanna is an exclamation of great joy.  The children felt the presence of God.  They were not involved with the things of the world as unfortunately some were in the temple and they responded, “Hosanna to the highest.”

Mat 21:16  And said unto him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus saith unto them, Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?

Where can we begin praising God tonight?  In our individual lifetime God has been so good to us.  Before we were here, God in his mercy prepared a way that we could be saved.  As natural Gentiles we were not in line to be saved.  It is wonderful that God opened it to all of us that we could be saved and sanctified. 

The beautiful song, “I’ve been to Calvary,” is a beautiful song.  Thank God that He has deeper depths and higher heights and the light keeps shining to a brighter and a more perfect day.

We see a vision of heavenly things:

Rev 4:1  After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.

Rev 4:2  And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.

Rev 4:3  And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald.

God on His throne with a rainbow around the throne, representing all the promises of God.  Everyone here tonight is challenged.  Most of us recognize our challenge.  We want to remember that God is still on the throne.  All the promises in Him are yea and amen.

Rev 5:1  And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals.

Rev 5:2  And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?

Rev 5:3  And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon.

Rev 5:4  And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.

Rev 5:5  And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.

Rev 5:6  And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.

The Spirit of God is still working in this dispensation of time.  He worked in the past, and He is still working today.  He is not only working with the lost, He is working with me and with you.  He is working with the church, “Take two steps forward.”

Rev 5:7  And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne.

Rev 5:8  And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints.

Rev 5:9  And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;

Let us remember why we are saved, it is not so that we can have a good life or miss hell, we are saved to be servants of God the Father, Jesus the Son, and the Holy Spirit of God. 

Isn’t it wonderful to be redeemed?  Isn’t it wonderful to be redeemed back to God?

Rev 5:10  And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.

God wants us to reign over everything.  He doesn’t want you to be moved by the pressures of life.  He doesn’t want something to move in and disrupt your devotion to God, to the saints, or to revival. 

He wants us to be a king over everything.  He wants us to be a priest in that we can offer up spiritual sacrifices.  We can work through tabernacle worship and get back to the Holiest of Holies where God works with His people. 

He wants us to be there where Aaron’s rod that budded is.  If there is something going on in your life, get before God and say, “What are your plans?” 

All of us will be buffeted about the revival.  The world will move in with opportunities that are ‘once in a lifetime’.  This revival is more than just once in a lifetime.  It will mark eternity for souls.  It may mark eternity for our sons in law. 

Whenever you get ready to have revival, it never fails, all sorts of things begin to transpire.  Anything to hinder you in your prayer life, in your schedule, expect someone to call that you haven’t heard from in a long time.  Don’t lose your focus.  There is no one like you when it comes to being where God wants you to be. 

He has made us a priest.  We can have Him say to us, “I have some good things to show you.”  If you come here hungry, it will have a profound effect on your soul and on the meeting.

God says, “I’m going to lead you two steps.”  God leads in such beautiful ways.  You don’t need to have any fear about God leading.  You need to fear lest you should mess up His leading.

I was determined that no matter how I felt, “I’m going to have the joy of the Lord.”  There are days that I don’t feel good.  If I would give into it then I would be a grouchy old sour-puss.  There are days that look black.  It only looks black.  We have to reign.

Rev 5:11  And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands;

Rev 5:12  Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.

Can you hear that host in heaven worshipping and rejoicing?

Rev 5:13  And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.

Give God the blessing.  Thank God for what He has done.  Thank God for what He is doing.  Give Him honor.  Hallowed be thy name!

Rev 12:10  And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.

Don’t you love it when you hear a voice, “Now is come salvation, strength, and the kingdom of our God: righteousness, peace, and joy.”

He is right there to show Himself strong on our behalf.  Don’t think that there won’t be hills to climb or besetments.  Remember the power of God. 

The accuser of our brethren is cast down.  During the revival often the voice of the accuser has come.  Know the voice of God and know the voice of the accuser.  When you hear that certain thought come from darkness accusing you, “They overcame them by the blood of the lamb.”

Remember the blood on your mind.  Claim the blood encircling you.  In that blood is life, power to resist the enemy, it is salvation, consecration, and sanctification. Thank God for the blood of Christ.

The word of their testimony:  I know that I got saved.  When the devil comes say, “You want to talk so I want you to listen to me.”  I’ve listened to him long enough, it is time for him to listen to me:  “I know I got saved and I know that I have the Blood of the Lamb on my heart.” 

They loved not their lives unto the death.

When you tell God, “I am yours no matter what.  I will never go back to sin.  I will not take two steps back for the sake of ease.  I’ll not go back for the battle.  I am going to take two steps forward.” 

Rev 12:11  And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.

Rev 12:12  Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.

Therefore rejoice oh heavens!
