TUESDAY'S POST


Shalom,


Psalm 150 closes out the book of Psalms with the highest praise! Praise is mentioned 13 times and we are commanded to praise Him! We are told to praise Him everywhere, with every type of praise, for everything He's done and for all that He is! Every time "praise" is mentioned, it is the Hebrew word "halal", which means: to be of clear sound; to shine; to make a show; to boast; to rave; to celebrate; to be clamorously foolish; to stultify (to cause to appear foolish); to act like a madman. This also involves shouting and jubilation! Do you get the very energetic and noisy picture here? Have you done this lately? Remember, it IS a command! Verse 6:


6 Let everything that has breath and every breath of life praise the LORD! Praise the LORD! (Hallelujah!)


In Revelation 6 we see the first of the seals broken. This is the time that the antichrist will be revealed. The rider on this white horse is NOT Jesus THE Christ, but the one who will pose as the Him! The truly sad thing about this is that the very people who should have recognized the REAL Christ when He came, will also be fooled into believing that this impersonator, liar, murderer, thief, evil one actually is the One they have been waiting for! Verse 2:


2 And I looked, and saw there a white horse whose rider carried a bow. And a crown was given him, and he rode forth conquering and to conquer.


This "crown" is a victor's crown, but it is NOT the crown the King of kings will wear! HIS is the diadem, which is the Kingly crown and only the True Son of God will wear that crown! We will not be on earth for these happenings, but it is interesting to study! 


In Jeremiah 37-38 we see King Zedekiah seek the counsel of Jeremiah 4 different times and all 4 times he rejected the Word!  He even allowed Jeremiah to be beaten and imprisoned because he was too weak willed to stand up to anyone. It seems that sometimes God will allow weak and terrible men to rule a land in order to wake the people up to what is right and Godly! Does that sound at all familiar to you? We need to continue to be DOERS of 2 Chronicles 7:14 so that God Himself can heal OUR land! AMEN! 


Let this song from Hillsong get inside you today and cause you to rise up and BE all that the One, True God has planned for you to be! It is called "Rise":

Shalom in Him!
