Daily Devotional – Behold my Hands and my Feet

Why are ye TROUBLED? and why do THOUGHTS arise in your HEARTS? Behold my HANDS and my FEET, that it is I myself: HANDLE me, and SEE; for a SPIRIT hath not FLESH and BONES, as ye SEE me have. Have ye here any MEAT? And they GAVE him a PIECE of a broiled FISH, and of an HONEYCOMB. And he TOOK it, and did EAT before them. Text from: (Lk 24:38-39, 41-43)

Did you know that flesh and blood cannot enter the kingdom of God? That you must be born again? “Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.” (1 Cor 15:50) “But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.” (Rm 8:9-11) “For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.” (1 Cor 15:53-54)

Daily Devotional – This is the Record

This is the record God has given to us, eternal life. There are 3 that bear witness in earth of this record: Spirit, water, blood. There are 3 that bear record in heaven of this record of eternal life God has given us: Father, Word, Holy Ghost. These three are one God who’s name is Jesus.

“And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.” (1 Jn 5:11) “And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.” (1 Jn 5:8) “For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.” (1 Jn 5:7) “Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.” (Mt 1:23) “Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one Lord:” (Deut 6:4) “And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.” (Jn 17:26) Eternal Life fulfilled in Acts 2:38 “Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.”

Daily Devotional – But he was Wounded for our Transgressions

He is DESPISED and REJECTED of men; a man of SORROWS, and ACQUAINTED with GRIEF: and we HID as it were our FACES from HIM; he was DESPISED, and we ESTEEMED him not. Surely he hath BORNE our GRIEFS, and CARRIED our SORROWS: yet we did ESTEEM him STRICKEN, SMITTEN of God, and AFFLICTED. But he was WOUNDED for our TRANSGRESSIONS, he was BRUISED for our INIQUITIES: the CHASTISEMENT of our PEACE was upon HIM; and with his STRIPES we are HEALED.” (Isa 53:3-5)

Did you know that when Adam and Eve sinned in the Garden of Eden that the devil gained the power of death over mankind? Did you know that was what Christ came to take back? “Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.” (Heb 2:14-15)

Daily Devotional – Neither wilt thou Suffer thine Holy One to see Corruption

I have SET the LORD always BEFORE me: because he is at my RIGHT hand, I shall not be MOVED. Therefore my HEART is GLAD, and my GLORY REJOICETH: my FLESH also shall REST in HOPE. For thou wilt NOT leave my SOUL in HELL; neither wilt thou SUFFER thine Holy One to see CORRUPTION. Thou wilt SHOW me the PATH of LIFE: in thy PRESENCE is FULNESS of JOY; at thy RIGHT HAND there are PLEASURES for EVERMORE.

When Jesus died and was buried, did you know that his body did not see corruption? “For David speaketh concerning him, I foresaw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved: Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope: Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance.” (Acts 2:25-28) “And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he said on this wise, I will give you the sure mercies of David. Wherefore he saith also in another psalm, Thou shalt not suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption: But he, whom God raised again, saw no corruption.” (Acts 13:34-37)

Daily Devotional – I will put ENMITY between THEE and the WOMAN

And the LORD God said unto the SERPENT, Because thou hast done this, thou art CURSED above all cattle, and ABOVE every BEAST of the field; upon thy BELLY shalt thou go, and DUST shalt thou EAT all the days of thy LIFE: And I will put ENMITY between THEE and the WOMAN, and between thy SEED and her SEED; it shall BRUISE thy HEAD, and thou shalt BRUISE his HEEL. (Gens 3:14-15)

Did you know this is the first prophecy of the coming of the Messiah? Did you know that God had an eternal purpose in Christ? “According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord:” (Eph 3:11) Jesus the Christ was this hostility or enmity between satan’s seed, which were the children of disobedience, and the woman’s seed, this being the virgin Mary and the children of obedience that followed after the gospel of Jesus Christ. “But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us; Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace; And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:” (Eph 2:13-16)

Daily Devotional – The Gentiles shall see thy Righteousness

The Gentiles shall see thy RIGHTEOUSNESS, and all KINGS thy GLORY: and thou shalt be called by a NEW NAME. Thou shalt also be a CROWN of GLORY in the hand of the LORD, a ROYAL DIADEM in the hand of thy God. Thou shalt no more be termed FORSAKEN; neither shall thy land any more be termed DESOLATE: but thou shalt be called HEPHZIBAH, and thy land BEULAH: for the LORD DELIGHTETH in thee, and thy land shall be MARRIED.

This prophecy will find it’s fulfillment in the thousand year reign of Jesus Christ. We were told that they would “no more be termed Forsaken”, yet Jesus said unto them “Behold, your house is left unto you desolate. For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.” (Mt 23:38-39) The Prophet Isaiah in chapter 60 prophesies of this New City saying “Violence shall no more be heard in thy land, wasting nor destruction within thy borders; but thou shalt call thy walls Salvation, and thy gates Praise. The sun shall be no more thy light by day; neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto thee: but the LORD shall be unto thee an everlasting light, and thy God thy glory. Thy sun shall no more go down; neither shall thy moon withdraw itself: for the LORD shall be thine everlasting light, and the days of thy mourning shall be ended. Thy people also shall be all righteous: they shall inherit the land for ever, the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, that I may be glorified. A little one shall become a thousand, and a small one a strong nation: I the LORD will hasten it in his time.” (Isa 60:18-22) Notice this is the same thing prophesied concerning the New City in Revelation “And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof. And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it. And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there. And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it. And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb’s book of life.” (Rev 21:23-27) And in Isaiah 60 again, “Therefore thy gates shall be open continually; they shall not be shut day nor night; that men may bring unto thee the forces of the Gentiles, and that their kings may be brought. For the nation and kingdom that will not serve thee shall perish; yea, those nations shall be utterly wasted.” (Isa 60:11-12)

Daily Devotional – They shall Look upon Me whom they have Pierced

And I will POUR upon the house of DAVID, and upon the INHABITANTS of JERUSALEM, the SPIRIT of GRACE and of SUPPLICATIONS: and they shall LOOK UPON ME WHOM THEY HAVE PIERCED, and THEY SHALL MOURN FOR HIM, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn. (Zec 12:10)

Did you know that when the battle of Armageddon is being fought the nation of Israel that is left in Jerusalem will run to their Messiah as he comes with all of his saints to the Mount of Olives? (Zec 14:1-6) Did you know that the Jewish people are still looking for the Prophet Elijah to come? “Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD: And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.” (Mal 4:5-6) When they see their Messiah come they will know that it is Jesus of whom they pierced and realize that they missed the time of their visitation. “Behold, your house is left unto you desolate. For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.” (Mt 23:38-39

Daily Devotional – Then shall the LORD go Forth, and Fight against those Nations

Then shall the LORD go FORTH, and FIGHT against those NATIONS, as when he fought in the DAY OF BATTLE. His FEET shall STAND in that day upon the MOUNT of OLIVES, which is before JERUSALEM on the east, the MOUNT of OLIVES shall CLEAVE in the MIDST thereof TOWARD the east and TOWARD the west, and there shall be a very great VALLEY; half of the mountain shall remove TOWARD the north, and half of it TOWARD the south. (Zech 14:3-4)

Did you know that at this time that God fights against the nations of the world at the battle of Armageddon to save Israel and Jerusalem that it is also at this time that the vail that is spread over the nations will be lifted and they will know there is only one God and Israel is his chosen people and nation. “And in this mountain shall the LORD of hosts make unto all people a feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the lees, of fat things full of marrow, of wines on the lees well refined. And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering cast over all people, and the vail that is spread over all nations. He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the LORD hath spoken it.” (Isa 25:6-8)

Daily Devotional – Not Forsaking the Assembling of Ourselves Together

“Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.” (Heb 10:25)

How can you be a blessing to the body if you aren’t there? How can you edify the body if you aren’t there? How can you be edified by the body if you aren’t there?

02 The LORD shall roar out of Zion

Romans 1:20
20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them. (Psalms 139:15-16)

But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; and the fowls of the air, and they shall tell thee: Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee: and the fishes of the sea shall declare unto thee. Who knoweth not in all these that the hand of the LORD hath wrought this? (Job 12:7-9)

Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise: Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler, Provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest. (Proverbs 6:6-8)

There be four things which are little upon the earth, but they are exceeding wise: The ants are a people not strong, yet they prepare their meat in the summer; The conies are but a feeble folk, yet make they their houses in the rocks; The locusts have no king, yet go they forth all of them by bands; The spider taketh hold with her hands, and is in kings’ palaces. (Proverbs 30:24-28)

The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge. (Psalms 19:1-2)

He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names. Great is our LORD, and of great power: his understanding is infinite. (Psalms 147:4-5)

Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion? Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons? Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven? canst thou set the dominion thereof in the earth? Canst thou lift up thy voice to the clouds, that abundance of waters may cover thee? Canst thou send lightnings, that they may go, and say unto thee, Here we are? (Job 38:31-35)

Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they. (Hebrews 1:3-4)

At this also my heart trembleth, and is moved out of his place. Hear attentively the noise of his voice, and the sound that goeth out of his mouth. He directeth it under the whole heaven, and his lightning unto the ends of the earth. After it a voice roareth: he thundereth with the voice of his excellency; and he will not stay them when his voice is heard. God thundereth marvellously with his voice; great things doeth he, which we cannot comprehend. For he saith to the snow, Be thou on the earth; likewise to the small rain, and to the great rain of his strength. He sealeth up the hand of every man; that all men may know his work. Then the beasts go into dens, and remain in their places. Out of the south cometh the whirlwind: and cold out of the north. By the breath of God frost is given: and the breadth of the waters is straitened. (Job 37:1-10)

Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it brake forth, as if it had issued out of the womb? When I made the cloud the garment thereof, and thick darkness a swaddlingband for it, And brake up for it my decreed place, and set bars and doors, And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further: and here shall thy proud waves be stayed? Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days; and caused the dayspring to know his place; That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, that the wicked might be shaken out of it? (Job 38:8-13)

Thus saith the LORD, which maketh a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters; (Isaiah 43:16) “Hast thou an arm like God? or canst thou thunder with a voice like him?” (Job 40:9)

Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever. Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment: the waters stood above the mountains. At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away. They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys unto the place which thou hast founded for them. Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; that they turn not again to cover the earth. He sendeth the springs into the valleys, which run among the hills. They give drink to every beast of the field: the wild asses quench their thirst. By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their habitation, which sing among the branches. He watereth the hills from his chambers: the earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works. He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth; And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread which strengtheneth man’s heart. The trees of the LORD are full of sap; the cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted; Where the birds make their nests: as for the stork, the fir trees are her house. The high hills are a refuge for the wild goats; and the rocks for the conies. He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going down. Thou makest darkness, and it is night: wherein all the beasts of the forest do creep forth. The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their meat from God. The sun ariseth, they gather themselves together, and lay them down in their dens. Man goeth forth unto his work and to his labour until the evening. O LORD, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches. (Psalms 104:5-24)
