OMBS7/ Hit Him With the Rock

PRAYER - "We Seek To Be Justified" Paul contrasted the difference between the Law and Grace. He had an impeccable education in the Law by Gamaliel, the great Hebrew scholar. He was tutored in Grace by revelation of Jesus Christ. Paul knew that keeping the Law cannot save you; but neither does Grace allow you to continue in sin. Seek to be justified. Turn from sin. Galatians 2:17 - "If, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid. For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor." PRINCIPAL - "This Body Is The Seed For The Body That Shall Be" We will be resurrected from the dead, and will spend eternity either in Heaven or Hell. "How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come?" The mortal body will perish forever. Saints will rise with new, immortal bodies. 1 Corinthians 15:36-38 - "That which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die: And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other grain: But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body." PRINCIPLE - "Having And Showing Love Exceeds All Other Virtues" According to these verses, having love is more important than speaking like an angel, understanding all mysteries, or having all knowledge and all faith. Having love is more important than being able to move a mountain, or giving everything to feed the poor, or even giving my body to be burned. The grand conclusion is that love is more important than all other virtues. What is love? A choice to do the highest good for someone. Love creates a bond of perfectness - perfect glue. Love holds everything together.  1 Corinthians 13:3 - "[If I] have not charity, it profiteth me nothing." PROPHECY - "The Gift Of Healing" There is no natural, inherent human ability to indiscriminately heal anybody, anywhere at anytime. Only by a supernatural gift can any man lay hands on the sick and they recover. Otherwise, it is inexplicable. With that awesome gift, a believer may lay hands, anoint with oil, or merely speak the word in the name of Jesus, and blind eyes see, deaf ears hear, the lame walks, and diseases disappear. You will never explain it, but have no doubt - it is real! It has happened for countless multitudes.  1 Corinthians 12:9 - "...to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit."

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. - Psalm 23:1-2

Have you ever thought about David and wondered how a shepherd boy could become a man after God's own heart—a man so strong in spirit that God chose him to be king of Israel? I have. In fact, I asked God about it, and He showed me that revelation was what turned David into such a spiritual powerhouse—revelation that came to him through hours of thinking about the things of God. I imagine the day he wrote Psalm 23 he was just sitting and singing praises to God and meditating on His goodness. Just fellowshipping with Him when suddenly the anointing of the Lord came upon him and he said, "The Lord is my Shepherd!" Suddenly he thought about the sheep he watched over as a boy, I faced death for those sheep. I led them where pastures were green and waters were cool, clean, deep, and peaceful. He kept on meditating on that until it started to thrill him. When the lion and the bear came, didn't He prepare a table before me in the presence of those enemies? He gave me victory. My God! My God will fight for me. The Lord is my Shepherd! I shall not want! That revelation welled up in David so strong that the devil couldn't beat it out of him. So when Goliath tried to make a fool out of Israel, David went after him. Goliath was able to scare off everyone else, but he couldn't shake David because he had a revelation inside him that said, Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for my God is with me. That revelation enabled David to say, "I come against you in the name of the Lord of Hosts" and to send a rock sailing into that giant's brain. Is the devil out to destroy you? Do what David did. Meditate on God and His Word. Sing praises to your King. Fellowship with Him until the revelation of who He is in you starts to thrill your soul. Then tell the devil, "You're not going to kill me. The Lord is my Shepherd!" Hit him with the rock of revelation knowledge, and you'll knock him flat every time.

Say this everyday. I am healed by the stripes of Jesus. (1 Peter 2:24)  For this is true.
