OMBS7/ Put the Word into Action.

PRAYER - "Prayerlessness, Even In The Face Of Judgment" God afflicted Israel in Isaiah's day for countless years of backsliding. God reminded them repeatedly that his arm was outstretched to them, to show them mercy. But nobody sought the LORD. It is tragic when God has to send calamity to wake people up to righteousness, yet they fail to move! Don't wait until God sends dreadful woes. Seek Him now! Isaiah 9:12-13 - "For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still. For the people turneth not unto him that smiteth them, neither do they seek the LORD of hosts." PRINCIPALS - "God's Throne Was In Jerusalem" In a vision, Isaiah saw it. So did Ezekiel (10:9). God's throne sat inside the Temple in Jerusalem. Apparently, it came from heaven the day Solomon dedicated the Temple, and remained until God wearied of Israel's backsliding, and drove them out of Jerusalem. God will again have His throne in Jerusalem when Jesus reconquers the city, the nation and the world (Zechariah 6:13) at Armageddon. Isaiah 6:1 - "In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple." PRINCIPLES - "Hell Hath Enlarged Herself" A reprobate is a depraved, unprincipled or wicked person. In a scriptural context, it is someone who believes that right is wrong and wrong is right. People who abandon godly morals and virtues and give themselves to riotous living are a stench in the nostrils of God. "Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it." Isaiah 5:20 - "Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness." PROPHECIES - "Jesus - Everlasting Father" The prophets ascribed seemingly contradictory titles to Messiah - King and Prince, Father and Son, God and man. That is because Jesus has a dual nature. He is both God and man. The Spirit is the Father. The human is the Son. Same person. The divine nature is King. The human nature is Prince. The throne of God in heaven seats only one. God and the Lamb - the invisible Spirit and His incarnation, Jesus. Isaiah 9:6 - "...and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace." I was Healed Put the Word Into Action

Whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock. – Matthew 7:24

If you want your deeds to be blessed, if you want to see supernatural results in your life, you’ll have to do more than simply read the Word of God. You’ll have to put it into action. That’s what I did. Years ago when I realized that God was the One who had the answers to all my problems, that He was the One who could supply all my needs, I committed myself to do everything His Word told me to do. I made a quality decision to step out in faith on every command I saw there. When I found out, for example, that God’s Word instructed me to tithe, Sis A  and I were already trying to stretch what little money we had further than it could possibly go. We were up to our necks in debt! We couldn’t possibly afford to give away 10 percent. But, we did it anyway. We stepped out on faith and kept our commitment to do every command we saw. Before long we began to see financial increase. We’ve been increasing ever since. Keep on reading and studying the Bible. Listen to teaching tapes. Go to church and hear the Word preached. But don’t stop there. Go one crucial step further by taking the Word you’ve heard and put it into action!
