Say So! 7/27/16
Say So! 7/27/16




Genesis 8:20-22 (KJV)
20  And Noah builded an altar unto the LORD; and took of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.  

21  And the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done.  

22  While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.

I call to your attention this PROMISE God made to mankind AFTER the Great Flood:

Genesis 8:22 (KJV)
22  While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.  

" SEEDTIME AND HARVEST, COLD AND HEAT, SUMMER AND WINTER, AND DAY AND NIGHT.............................

SHALL NOT CEASE!!!!"

I was struck last night with a comment made by a Presidential aspirant.

They said, concerning the economy, "that it ALWAYS bounces back AFTER a recession/depression!"

Does not OUR Bible declare:

Ecclesiastes 3:3 (KJV)
3  A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;  

There IS a "time to break down, AND a time to BUILD UP!"

I well remember a few, short YEARS ago-right after the GREAT RECESSION began-having lunch with a dear friend/brother/ member.

He is a well educated and successful executive and because of the recession had lost his employment and was forced to moved to another state.

As we shared a cup of coffee, he wisely asserted "that someday soon enough these rough and tumultuous economic years will be forgiven and forgotten!"

We will THEN be able to LOOK BACK with a wry smile on our faces, futures AGAIN bright and promising.

" THE SUN WILL COME OUT TOMORROW

BET YOUR BOTTOM DOLLAR

THEY'LL BE SUN!

TOMORROW, TOMORROW, I LOVE YOU TOMORROW

YOU'RE ONLY A DAY AWAY!"

God PROMISED Job, AFTER all the time and pain:

Job 42:10 (KJV)
10  And the LORD turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before.

GOD gave Job "TWICE AS MUCH as he had BEFORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

OUR God IS a "MERCIFUL GOD!"

Deuteronomy 4:31 (KJV)
31  (For the LORD thy God is a merciful God;) he will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which he sware unto them.

MERCIFUL-from <H7355> (racham); compassionate :- full of compassion, merciful.
Strong's Talking Greek & Hebrew Dictionary.

TODAY as you face yesterday's tomorrow, quote these Verses to yourself:

Romans 8:38-39 (KJV)
 
38
 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,  

39  Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Deuteronomy 28:1-14 (KJV)
 
1  And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD
 thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth:  

2  And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD
 thy God.  

3  Blessed shalt thou be  in the city, and blessed shalt  thou be
 in the field.  

4  Blessed shall be
 the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep.  

5  Blessed shall be
 thy basket and thy store.  

6  Blessed shalt thou be  when thou comest in, and blessed shalt thou be
 when thou goest out.  

7  The LORD
shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways.  

8  The LORD shall command the blessing upon thee in thy storehouses, and in all that thou settest thine hand unto; and he shall bless thee in the land which the LORD
 thy God giveth thee.  

9  The LORD shall establish thee an holy people unto himself, as he hath sworn unto thee, if thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD
thy God, and walk in his ways.  

10  And all people of the earth shall see that thou art called by the name of the LORD
; and they shall be afraid of thee.  

11  And the LORD shall make thee plenteous in goods, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, in the land which the LORD
 sware unto thy fathers to give thee.  

12  The LORD
shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow.  

13  And the LORD shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the LORD  thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them
:  

14  And thou shalt not go aside from any of the words which I command thee this day, to the right hand, or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them.

In closing, (PLEASE forgive the LENGTH of today's sermon), I was touched and affected by words from Joel Osteen, who quoted this Verse:

Psalm 107:2 (KJV)
 
2  Let the redeemed of the LORD say so
, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy;  

" Let the redeemed of the Lord SAY on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

" SAY SO!!"

Not "think so/hope for/PRAY for, but "SAY SO!!!!!!!!!!!"

TODAY, as you PRAY/PLAN/ACT, "SAY SO" that you ARE "THE REDEEMED OF THE LORD" AND the Scriptures "SAY SO!!!!!"

AMEN!!??

GOD BLESS YOU!
