Psalm 64 speaks of the wicked and evil doers and their works. Believers in Jesus of Nazareth have always called out to God for deliverance from evil people. If we would only meditate on who we are in Christ Jesus, we would never do that again! Out problem is NOT the enemy! Jesus has given us HIS authority over ALL the power of the enemy! We need to meditate on that until we BELIEVE it! Then we can act on it and get ourselves out from under the enemies thumb! Verses 9-10:
9 And all men shall [reverently] fear and be in awe; and they will declare the work of God, for they will wisely consider and acknowledge that it is His doing.
10 The [uncompromisingly] righteous shall be glad in the Lord and shall trust and take refuge in Him; and all the upright in heart shall glory and offer praise.
In Mark 8 Jesus is again concerned about the multitudes who have come to hear Him teach and be ministered to by Him. He tells his disciples that He wants to feed the crowd again. Do YOU remember when He last did that? Well, The disciples didn't! This is their response to Him in verse 4:
4 And His disciples replied to Him, How can anyone fill and satisfy [these people] with loaves of bread here in [this] desolate and uninhabited region? How could they forget SO SOON? Jesus did the same thing with the 4,000 people that He had done with the 5,000! Then later, in the boat, Jesus was warning them about the Pharisees and the Herodians and their teachings. The disciples, who had forgotten to bring bread thought He was talking about food! Jesus responded in verses 17-21:
17 And being aware [of it], Jesus said to them, Why are you reasoning and saying it is because you have no bread? Do you not yet discern or understand? Are your hearts in [a settled state of] hardness? [Isa 6:9,10; Jer 5:21.] 18 Having eyes, do you not see [with them], and having ears, do you not hear and perceive and understand the sense of what is said? And do you not remember? 19 When I broke the five loaves for the 5,000, how many [small hand] baskets full of broken pieces did you take up? They said to Him, Twelve. 20 And [when I broke] the seven loaves for the 4,000, how many [large provision] baskets full of broken pieces did you take up? And they said to Him, Seven. 21 And He kept repeating, Do you not yet understand?
For anyone who has ever said, "I wish I could have walked with Jesus like the disciples did!", you need to realize that they were NOT born again when Jesus ministered! It wasn't until after Jesus ascended to Heaven that the believers could receive the infilling of the Holy Spirit. THEN they were able to KNOW the Word! You and I are in a much more blessed position right now! There has never been a more exciting time to be alive as a believer than right now! Bible prophecy is being fulfilled right before our eyes and on an almost daily basis! Get in the Word more than ever before so that YOU will recognize things when they happen! GLORY TO GOD!
In Exodus we see Bezalel completing all of the things required for the Tabernacle worship. We have already showed pictures of several of the items. here are the Ark of the Covenant and the Altar of Incense:
They are already for the building of the Third Temple in Jerusalem! I am SO glad that WE are ready for the appearing of Jesus of Nazareth and our Resurrection bodies! How about you?
Shalom in Him!
