YOUR ROBE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS

_________________

I have no righteousness in the human body of flesh. Without righteousness, I am doomed for hell. What is my solution so that I may escape or avoid an eternity in hell?

Good news! I am righteous. But it is not my nature or characteristic. It is what I have received from Jesus Christ because of my faith upon Him and His shed blood.

Romans 3:21-22 says, “But now the righteousness of God…is manifested…even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and UPON all them that believe.”

It says, “upon all that believe.” Jesus’ righteousness being “upon” us means that we are CLOTHED in HIS ROBE of righteousness. And God, our Heavenly Father, looks upon us and what He SEES is a robe of righteousness around us, enveloping us. The Father does not see our sin or faults or imperfections. He sees the “Jesus” around us.

Is our robe white like those in heaven? I do not know. Regardless of what color it may be, it is a robe of righteousness. Righteousness means a “right standing” before God the Father.

Just as Jesus is every part of our body armor as seen in Ephesians 6, so also is Jesus, our robe of righteousness, before Father God (Jahh).

Let us keep our robe clean and righteous before the LORD.

THE WATER BROOK

_____________________

Psalm 42:1-2 reads, “As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God. 2 My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God?”

The Amplified Version helps with the understanding, “As the deer pants [longingly] for the water brooks, So my soul pants [longingly] for You, O God. 2 My soul (my life, my inner self) thirsts for God, for the living God. When will I come and see the face of God.?”

When we are dry and thirsty, there is nothing so refreshing as water for any of us, including animals. We can live without food for many days, but a person cannot survive more than three days to a week without water.

What these verses are saying is simply this: We cannot live without God. We thirst for [long after] Him and wait for Him to speak. Do you have that kind of relationship with the Lord? Do you thirst for him? Is he your “water brook”? Are you drinking daily from his cup? 

Psalm 23:2-3 says, “…he [God] leadeth me beside the still water” [water brook] “and restoreth my soul.” Verse 5 says, “my cup runneth over” or overflows.

Just being in the presence of God [our water brook] satiates the dry, thirsty soul. That is where we find the living waters that refresh us. That is where our cup is filled to overflowing. That is where we find our source of life.  

Many spend no time with the one that gives us the living water. If a human body cannot survive without water for a week, then surely our soul and spirit need the living water to stay alive too.

If you aren’t longing after God’s water brook, then it is time that you make a decision daily to do just that. Your life will become refreshed, and you will never regret it. Your cup will overflow!

Prophetic Exhortation

God made each of us unique. No one has your fingerprints but you. Even your eye is one of a kind. Never discount your value to God. You are so precious that if you were the only person that ever lived God would have given you hope through Jesus Christ. Now, wipe those tears of discouragement and know that God loves you!

APOSTLE PAT MURRAY

PROPHETIC EXHORTATION

It’s time for you to get up, look up and be assured that the POWER and the PRESENCE of God WITHIN you…Are so much GREATER than the PRESSURES, STRUGGLES and the FAILURES of life that are AROUND you now or ever will be. So stay encouraged my friend as you read these words from 2 Corinthians 4: 8-9. “We sometimes suffer, but we’re never crushed. Even when we don't know what to do, we never give up. In times of trouble, God is with us, and when we are knocked down, we get up again.” Now I decree the blessing of the Lord that makes rich, And He adds no sorrow to it according to Proverbs 10:22 is on you now and will continually be yours as you daily walk in the power of our Lord and His victory; For it IS yours today and everyday in Jesus Name. 

 Born to Die! HCC

Look up and know, yes, this Jesus was born,

Born and then to die for you.

Only a Savior would love you that much.

Only a Savior would give his everything

For you and me. His heart is in me and

His love is in the whole World.

The Creation is his!

Do you understand this God of Heaven?

Not completely, but reading his Word, his Bible,

Will enlighten your mind, brighten your days.

And determine your Destiny, your Eternity.
