PSALM 100

ENTERING GOD’S THRONEROOM

Psalm 100 is a good one to memorize. It says, “Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands. Serve the LORD (Jehovah) with gladness. Come before his presence with singing. Know ye that (Jehovah) he is God (Elohim). It is He that hath made us, and not we ourselves. We are His people, and the sheep of His pasture. Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise. Be thankful unto Him, and bless His name. For the LORD is good. His mercy is everlasting. And His truth endureth to all generations.”

This psalm gives the key to the most rewarding and intimate communication (prayer) with Him. Most Christians have never learned this. They recite written or learned prayers, or they simply begin to pray by asking requests (petitions) of God.

Psalm 91:1 speaks of “dwelling in the secret place of the Most High.” It is a place of intimacy where you enter (in spirit) into God’s throne room. There is where you dwell in His presence. Thanksgiving and praise are the keys.

We enter into the gates of heaven by giving thanks to Him for all His goodness. Once there, we enter into His courts by praising His attributes and holiness. We are entering the court of the King; not everyone is allowed in a King’s court. Entry must be properly gained and granted.

Based on the “entering in” of verse 4, I follow it when I have set aside a time of prayer to commune with Him. I begin with thanksgiving. I thank Him for His grace and for His never-ending mercy. I thank Him for His creation and for His pan of redemption, and many other things.

Then I praise Him. I praise Him for He is holy, good, righteous, and all His various attributes. I uplift and magnify His name. The thanksgiving and the praises probably go for ten to twenty minutes. Then I pause for a while and quietly “listen” for His Spirit. I may not hear anything I can audibly detect or have a specific understanding of, but I know He is “downloading” into my spirit.

Afterwards, I will pray for other people or specific needs. These petitions only are put forth before Him in His heavenly throne room.

I would suppose most professing Christians fail to ever spend this quality time with Him. However, the benefit of it is an increase of power in the Holy Spirit such that when a specific need arises at a specific time, I can call on Him in prayer and get an almost immediate answer.

Read Psalm 100 over and over until it takes root. Then learn to do what it says in verse 2, “come before His presence” to live and walk as a Psalm 91 Christian.

FLESH FLASH

In Galatians 2:20 it says, “I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless, I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.”

What does this mean? It means when we are born again, we are a new spiritual being, changed from the inside out. It means that our old nature upon receiving Christ as our Savior has been put to death with Christ, and our new nature is a changed person. It lives for Christ, and not for self.

In spite of this awesome transformation, we often slip back into the old nature, with what I would call a “flesh flash.” We are to keep our old nature crucified daily, but often, we don’t do that, and we walk in the flesh. The flesh always wants its own way. It is all about self, and not about others. It always plays the blame game. It whines and cries when it is disciplined but it is absolutely necessary that it is disciplined and crucified daily if we are to walk in victory.

How do we stop these “flesh flashes”? We must be led by Holy Spirit and do as it says in James 1: 19 where it says, “…let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath.” By doing this, we control our flesh which seldom listens to others, is quick to speak and quick to wrath.

Each of us have this battle my friends. This message is not a message of condemnation. We make the choice to not hear. First of all, we must make an all-out effort to listen to others. They just might have something to say that would benefit us. Second, we have to learn to refrain from speaking idle hurtful words which are not led by the Spirit. Many troubled relationships are caused by words that should have not been spoken, led by our “flesh flashes.” Thirdly, we must be slow to anger. We have to make an effort to not let offenses get to us or we will be walking in the flesh continuously. We must forgive quickly, and not allow our flesh to control us.

Jesus is our example. When he was reviled, he reviled not. When he was beaten, he took it. When he was crucified, he forgave them. This is not easy, but it can be done. Flesh flash? Let’s crucify that old nature and not let it resurrect and our lives will be much better.

PROPHETIC WORD

HALTING BETWEEN TWO OPINIONS

I would say that this is the hour that you halt between two opinions. Would you go one way or would you go the other, for there is much to come about in the days ahead. I would say that there will be a shaking unlike any shaking that has ever taken place saith the Lord. People will be shaken to the core. Faith will be stretched beyond anything it has ever seen. Would you be of the opinion to be hot, or would you be of the opinion to be cold? Those that stay in the middle will surely be spit out of my mouth. The lukewarmness of my church has come into my nostrils and it is not a smell that I want to smell. It is a stench beyond all stenches. You have been given opportunity after opportunity to repent, and the hour is at hand where you will make your final choice. Behold, I will blow a wind upon your nation and upon this earth like a wind that has never blown. I will blow away protection from those that have turned away from me, and it will blow away things that looked like they were permanent. But I would say that I raise up and I bring down. I am in the wind, and it shall do a work, but also there shall be a wind of revival that will stir up the embers of the fire that has waned. There will be a stirring and the flames will grow brighter for those that have chosen to be hot for me saith the Lord. They shall rise up from the embers and shine like they have never shone. They shall go forth and do great exploits for I am in the wind of revival, and I am in the wind of destruction of those things that I have allowed but now am disallowing them. I would say, choose this day which side that you are on. You cannot serve two masters. You are either for me all the way, or you are against me all the way. There is no longer any middle road, for the things of darkness will grow darker, and the things of light will grow brighter. Choose wisely for this is the hour that I have said would come. It is at the door and is being released saith the lord.

God still speaks through his prophets.

PROPHETIC EXHORTATION

Satan will always try and abort the will of God in one’s life. He does this in order to try and keep you from Gods appointed destiny for your life. The truth is there are many aborted dreams, visions, miracles, ministries and blessings...All because someone GAVE UP just before their Word was PERFORMED! Jeremiah 1:12 says "God watches over his word to perform it". PERFORM means to accomplish, carry out or fulfil. Could it be that you’re giving up just one day before your Word was to be PERFORMED...Accomplished, Carried Out or Fulfilled? Think about it...And determine in your heart to hold onto your promise; As you sit back and by faith watch God PERFORM all that He has promised you.
