"THE SOUND OF PROMISE"

"My Ears Are Filled With The Sounds Of Promise." Psalms 11b MSG

 In your quest for obtaining great faith there will be moments when you have to put your foot on the neck of what you hear. I promise you that you will hear a lot of discouraging words and accusations. The enemy will always try to get in our ear, whispering for us to quit, give up, you can't make it, you can't do that, it will never happen, you will always be broke, you will always be sick, they don't like you, your not beautiful, you don't measure up, your not special, your not talented, there is no reason to live, no one loves you, your going to die, I can go on with the endless lies that the devil deposits on a daily basis. The sad part about it is that so many believers are used to this sound!

You cannot allow these fake statements of the enemy rob you of your faith. In this portion of the Psalm vs. 6-11 the writer is declaring that God's people shall overcome. And the promise of God to defeat their enemies and the witness of their malicious detractors going down. God's promises are declared that His people will prosper for they are like palm trees that grow tall like the tress of Lebanon. They are transplanted to the Lord's house, they flourish in the presence of God and always remain vital and green (full of life, vigor, beneficial, fresh, new, characterized by the presence of verdure.)

Who and what is in your ear? When we hear God's word and His promise and do not take heed to it we deceive our own selves. What we know about God should stimulate a sound that can only be heard by those who trust Him. His promises to us are sure, that He will never leave us or forsake us, that anything we ask in Jesus name shall be given to us, that He is a very present help in the time of trouble, He promises us His favor, His mercies that are brand new everyday, His grace, long life, satisfaction, peace, joy, it never ends. Paul said in 2nd Corinthians 7:1 "With these promises ringing in our ears, dear friends, let us keep clear of anything that smirches body or soul." Let us prove our reverence for God (that we hear the sounds) by consecrating ourselves to Him completely."

Today I challenge you to consecrate your ears, let nothing defile or defect your hearing. Keep your ears clean, that they will continually be filled with the sounds of promise!

UN-DO!

S.E.E.D. For Today: Scripture: "Undo The Heavy Burdens" ( Isaiah 58:6 ) Example: There was a great deal of injustice in the land and with the rich exploiting the poor and the rulers using their authority only to make themselves richer. It was a conflict between truth and lies, just like in our land today. The people of God were no different in operating under the same system as this. But God called them out and wanted them to understand that their fasting was in vain if they did not undo the heavy burden they placed on others while still outwardly devoting themselves to religion or as they thought to God. Exercise: Let's invite the Holy Spirit to solve problems and aid us in lifting loads and overcome barriers that keep us and our loved ones from walking joyfully in the Lord. In self-denying love and care for others, let's undo any heavy burden or untie any yoke that we may have placed upon friends, family, associates or even employees. Devotion: Lord toda

The State of Unity

As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit— just as you were called to one hope when you were called— one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. Ephesians 4:1-6 Last night the president gave his state of the union address. This year with a different look, not one of division but of unity. The idea is to bring the country together as one so that the unity of the state would result in a better America. Unity is a major issue, especially in Christianity. The idea for the two parties seating arrangements stem from division that became more than many Americans could stand. It is the same way for us in the church, the reasons that keep the body of Christ so divided are more than s
