The Glory 2020... The Joy!
There is in 2020....Joy!
The joy that is in the Glory!
We have come to on the calendar; Atonement, the feasts... Tabernacles... feasts of joy! Precious feasts to remember and celebrate!
The joy is not over. It has hardly gotten started! Here I am sharing how we get to that joy, what its made up of, what it does, though first why it wains or seems distant. Given to share, though not until now on a few subjects leading to joy... offense, integrity, honor and joy!
Let all things be done in love!
Offense...a sin sick, wounding, all that holds back incredible blessings, the thing that will rob you of your heart's desire, derived not in heaven, healing available to the contrite spirit.
But if you cause one of these little ones who trusts in Me to fall into sin, it would be better for you to have a large millstone tied around your neck and be drowned in the depths of the sea.
Matthew 18:6
Offense... a scandal, to scandalize, to entrap, trip up, stumble, entice to sin, apostasy, displeasure, to make to offend. It is the bait of the enemy, a trap stick.Think of a bent stick that holds open the trap to catch an animal and just when caught, the stick no longer has use. In other words, the enemy has accomplished the feat to offend at that very moment. The same is so with offense. Don't take the bait! You are far greater treasure than an animal. God does not desire to trap you, though rather bless you! It is a snare to your relationship with God and people. There is your bent; your call toward, your being led there will always be found this bent bait stick that will entice you to be entrapped and make emotional decisions that are led of offenses and not of God. Know that a true bent staff is not a stick that wills to cause harm. Pay attention.
We know that battles are not with flesh and blood though fleshly ones take on offenses. In this day where offenses are rampant, you must also know God cannot bless offense. Look about at all of the storms of the sea that have raged of late.
Offenses are not something everyone has been taught on or studied about and is not the popular message. It requires depth and love. Look at the following verses...
For the terrible one is brought to nothing. The scornful one is consumed, And all who watch for iniquity are cut off— Who make a man an offender by a word and lay a snare for him who reproves in the gate and turn aside the just by empty words.
Isaiah 29:20-21
Those who erred in spirit will come to understanding, and those who complained will learn doctrine.
Isaiah 29:24
A vacation, one of only a few in my lifetime taken this year turned to less than planned due to a raging hurricane. Every place considered was affected down to the bridge on the way. Visions are how I see often what message to share with you, some here, some specific and others that need shared in person in order to bring the blessing.
Consider the times and the seasons of late. Look at both the strength and the shelter provided as I seen an angry ocean raging, filled with offense, an incredible spiritual battle and it was happening.
For You have been a stronghold for the helpless, A stronghold for the poor in his distress, a shelter from the storm, a shade from the heat; For the breath of tyrants is like a rainstorm against a wall.
Isaiah 25:4
For He satisfies the longing soul and fills the hungry soul with goodness.
Psalm 107:9
...because
...those who seek the Lord shall not lack any good thing.
Psalm 24:10
I know also, my God, that You test the heart and delight in uprightness and integrity. In the uprightness of my heart I have willingly offered all these things . So now with joy I have seen Your people who are present here, make their offerings willingly and freely to You. O Lord , God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, our fathers, keep forever such purposes and thoughts in the minds of Your people, and direct their hearts toward You;
1 Chronicles 29:17-18
The building up of 'Glory To His Name' Church with integrous joy! The ingedient in the anointing I know so very well that shall bring glory to God!
These are those with a heart of integrity... possessors of great joy!
....who may abide in Your tabernacle? Who may dwell in Your holy hill? He who walks uprightly, And works righteousness and speaks the truth in his heart; He who does not backbite with his tongue, Nor does evil to his neighbor, nor does he take up a reproach against his friend; in whose eyes a vile person is despised, but he honors those who fear the Lord ; he who swears to his own hurt and does not change; he who does not put out his money at usury, nor does he take a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things shall never be moved.
Psalms 15:1-5
For the mountains shall depart and the hills be removed, but My kindness shall not depart from you, Nor shall My covenant of peace be removed,” says the Lord, who has mercy on you. “O you afflicted one, Tossed with tempest, and not comforted, Behold, I will lay your stones with colorful gems, And lay your foundations with sapphires. I will make your pinnacles of rubies, Your gates of crystal, And all your walls of precious stones. All your children shall be taught by the Lord, and great shall be the peace of your children. In righteousness you shall be established; you shall be far from oppression, for you shall not fear; and from terror, for it shall not come near you. Indeed they shall surely assemble, but not because of Me. Whoever assembles against you shall fall for your sake. “Behold, I have created the blacksmith who blows the coals in the fire, who brings forth an instrument for his work; And I have created the spoiler to destroy. No weapon formed against you shall prosper and every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord and their righteousness is from Me,” Says the Lord .
Isaiah 54:10-17
Be washed in the very things that wants to linger of the flesh, of hurts and don't let these take hold of your heart, mind, soul or spirit!
And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity. The tongue is so set among our members that it defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire by hell.
James 3:6
...neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor coarse jesting, which are not fitting, but rather giving of thanks.
Ephesians 5:4
...not worthless insults, cutting jokes. Let Thanksgiving be your dialect. This is the message full of great joy!
The fear of God means hating evil, whose ways I hate with a passion— pride and arrogance and crooked talk. Good counsel and common sense are my characteristics; I am both Insight and the Virtue to live it out.
Proverbs 8:13
Think on these!
So keep your thoughts continually fixed on all that is authentic and real, honorable and admirable, beautiful and respectful, pure and holy, merciful and kind. And fasten your thoughts on every glorious work of God, praising him always.
Philippians 4:8
Same verse...much joy!
You love him passionately... but through believing in him you are saturated with an ecstatic joy, indescribably sublime and immersed in glory.
1 Peter 1:8 TPT
...whom having not seen you love... yet believing, you rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory.
I Peter 1:8 NKJV
...you believe and trust in Him and you greatly rejoice and delight with inexpressible and glorious joy.
1 Peter 1:8 AMP
...with laughter and singing. Because you kept on believing, you’ll get what you’re looking forward to; total salvation.
1 Peter 1:8-9 MSG
In the house of the righteous there is much treasure...
Proverbs 15:6
God desires you, implores you, beseeches you to hear what the Spirit says to the churches! It was never about one, but about all... a city, a region, a state, then many, the Nation and many Nations!
And there is a key in the Glory in 2020...The Joy!
