We have been looking into the make up of our ability to be an effective of Christ, the Godhead in man which is taken from the question of Matthew 11:28-30 as it was asked of me back on August 14th of 2007. For it is from this stand point that I must draw strength from because of what the LORD showed me concerning Galatians 2:20 some time later in October of that same year. This being true we are now looking into our being witnesses with a true an accurate testimony of the risen Christ within us.
How and Where to be given:
(( 1Chronicles 16:8 of 7-36 "On that day David first appointed that thanksgiving be sung to the LORD by Asaph and his brothers. Oh give thanks to the LORD; call upon His name; make known His deeds among the peoples! Sing to Him, sing praises to Him; tell of all His wondrous works! Glory in His holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice! (Ephesians 5:19) Seek the LORD and His strength; seek His presence continually! Remember the wondrous works that HE has done, His miracles and the judgments HE uttered, O offspring of Israel His servant, children of Jacob, His chosen ones! He is the LORD our GOD; His judgments are in all the earth. Remember His covenant forever, the word that HE commanded, for a thousand generations, the covenant that HE made with Abraham, His sworn promise to Isaac, which HE confirmed to Jacob as a statute, to Israel as an everlasting covenant, saying, "'To you I will give the land of Canaan, as your portion for an inheritance.'" When you were few in number, of little account, and sojourners in it, wandering from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people, HE allowed no one to oppress them; HE rebuked kings on their account, saying, "'Touch not My anointed ones, do My prophets no harm!'" Sing to the LORD, all the earth! Tell of His salvation (H3444, freedom from troubles) from day to day. Declare His glory among the nations, His marvelous works among all the peoples! For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised, and HE is to be feared above all gods. For all the gods of the peoples are worthless idols, for the LORD made the heavens. Splendor and majesty are before Him; strength and joy are in His place. Ascribe to the LORD, O families of the peoples, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength! Ascribe to the LORD the glory due His name; bring an offering and come before Him! Worship the LORD in the splendor of holiness; tremble before Him, all the earth; yes, the world is established; it shall never be moved. Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice, and let them say among the nations, "The LORD reigns!" Let the sea roar, and all that fills it; let the field exult, and everything in it! Then will the trees of the forest sing for joy before the LORD, for HE comes to judge the earth. Oh give thanks to the LORD, for HE is good; for His steadfast love endures forever! Say also: "Save us, O God of our salvation (H3468, to save), and gather and deliver us from among the nations, that we may give thanks to Your holy name and glory in Your praise. Blessed be the LORD, the GOD of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting!" Then all the people said, "Amen!" and praised the LORD."
Psalm 60:4 of 1-5 "O God, You have rejected us, broken our defenses; You have been angry; oh, restore us. You have made the land to quake; You have torn it open; repair its breaches, for it totters. You have made Your people see hard things; You have given us wine to drink that made us stagger. You have set up a banner for those who fear (H3373, have dread of) You, that they may flee to it from the bow. Selah. That Your beloved ones may be delivered, give salvation (H2502, to deliver) by Your right hand and answer us!"
Psalm 107:2 of 1-3 "Oh give thanks to the LORD, for HE is good, for His steadfast love endures forever! Let the redeemed (H1350, to restore one to his original position or avenge his death.) of the LORD say so, whom HE has redeemed from trouble and gathered in from the lands, from the east and from the west, from the north and from the south."
Isaiah 12:4 of 1-6 "You will say in that day: "I will give thanks to You, O LORD, for though You were angry with me, Your anger turned away, that You might comfort me. "Behold, GOD is my salvation (H3444); I will trust, and will not be afraid; for the LORD GOD is my strength and my song, and HE has (is) become my salvation (H3444)." With joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation (H3444). And you will say in that day: "Give thanks to the LORD, call upon His name, make known His deeds among the peoples, proclaim that His name is exalted. "Sing praises to the LORD, for HE has done gloriously; let this be made known in all the earth. Shout, and sing for joy, O inhabitant of Zion, for great in your midst is the Holy One of Israel." ))
Unceasingly,
Isaiah 62:6 of 6-9 with Jeremiah 51:10 "On your walls, O Jerusalem, I have set watchmen; all the day and all the night they will never be silent. You who put the LORD in remembrance, take no rest (1Thessalonians 5:17 of 12-22), and give Him no rest until HE establishes Jerusalem and makes it a praise in the earth. The LORD has sworn by His right hand and by His mighty arm: "'I will not again give your grain to be food for your enemies, and foreigners shall not drink your wine for which you have labored; but those who garner it shall eat it and praise the LORD, and those who gather it shall drink it in the courts of My sanctuary.'"
Jeremiah 51:10 of 5-10 "Israel and Judah have not been forsaken (made a widow) by their God, the LORD of hosts, but the land of the Chaldeans is full of guilt against (before) the Holy One of Israel. "Flee from the midst of Babylon; let every one save his life! Be not cut off (made silent or made as lifeless) in her punishment (penalty for iniquity), for this is the time of the LORD's vengeance, the repayment HE is rendering her. Babylon was a golden cup in the LORD's hand, making all the earth drunken; the nations drank of her wine; therefore the nations went mad. Suddenly Babylon has fallen and been broken; wail for her! Take balm for her pain; perhaps she may be healed. We would have healed Babylon, but she was not healed. Forsake her, and let us go each to his own country, for her judgment has reached up to heaven and has been lifted up even to the skies. The LORD has brought about our vindication; come, let us declare in Zion the work of the LORD our God."
In the Home,
Matthew 5:18-19 of 14-20 (Jesus is speaking) "'You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father Who is in heaven (G3772, the region above the sidereal heavens, the seat of order of things eternal and consummately perfect where GOD dwells and other heavenly beings). Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill (bring them to their appointed close, to consummate) them. For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished. Therefore whoever relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.'"
Empowered by the Holy Spirit,
Acts 1:8 of 6-11 "So when they had come together, they asked him, "Lord, will You at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?" He said to them, "'It is not for you to know times or seasons that the Father has fixed by His own authority. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.'" And when HE had said these things, as they were looking on, HE was lifted up, and a cloud took Him out of their sight. And while they were gazing into heaven as HE went, behold, two men stood by them in white robes, and said, "Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into heaven? This Jesus, Who was taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same way as you saw Him go into heaven."
In the Assembly of the Saints,
Ephesians 5:19 of 15-21 "Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will (plan and purpose) of the LORD is. And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery, but be (being) filled with the Spirit, addressing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the LORD with your heart, giving thanks always and for everything to GOD the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, submitting to one another out of reverence for (the anointing as) Christ."
Without Shame or Fear,
2Timothy 1:8 of 8-14 "Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony about our LORD, nor of me His prisoner, but share in suffering for the gospel by the power of GOD, who saved (G4982, to preserve one who is in danger of destruction, to save or rescued as in redeemed, the cancelling of our debit) us and called us to a holy calling, not because of our works but because of His own purpose and grace, which HE gave us in Christ (the anointing in) Jesus (the second Adam) before the ages began, and which now has been manifested through the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus, Who abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel, for which I was appointed a preacher and apostle and teacher, which is why I suffer as I do. But I am not ashamed, for I know Whom I have believed, and I am convinced that HE Is; able to guard until that Day what has been entrusted to me. Follow the pattern of the sound words that you have heard from me, in the faith and love that are Christ Jesus. By the Holy Spirit Who dwells within us, guard the good deposit entrusted to you."
Constant Readiness for,
1Peter 3:15 of 8-12, 13-22 "Finally, all of you, have unity of mind, sympathy, brotherly love, a tender heart, and a humble mind. Do not repay evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary, bless, for to this you were called, that you may obtain a blessing. For (taken from Psalm 34:12-16) "Whoever desires to love life and see good days, let him keep his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking deceit; let him turn away from evil and do good; let him seek peace and pursue it. For the eyes of the LORD are on the righteous, and His ears are open to their prayer. But the face of the LORD is against those who do evil."
Now who is there (who is the one who) will to harm you (taken from Psalm 16:7) if you are zealous for what is good? For even if you should suffer for righteousness' sake, you will be blessed. Have no fear of them, nor be troubled, but in your hearts honor Christ the LORD as Holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect, having a good conscience, so that, when you are slandered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ may be put to shame. For it is better to suffer for doing good, if that should be GOD's will, than for doing evil. For (the anointing) Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, that HE might bring us to GOD, being put to death in the flesh but made alive in the (our) spirit, in which HE went and proclaimed to the spirits in prison (this is seen in Matthew 27:51-54 and Paul's witness), because they formerly did not obey, when GOD's patience waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was being prepared, in which a few, that is, eight persons, were brought safely through water. Baptism, which corresponds to this, now saves (G4982) you, not as a removal of dirt from the body but as an appeal to GOD for a good conscience, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, Who has gone into heaven and is at the right hand of GOD, with angels, authorities, and powers having been subjected to Him."
