The King's Countenance (3)

 Matthew 17:2

On the Mount of transfiguration Peter, James, and John looked upon the countenance of Jesus Christ.

For a while, they saw Jesus in His heavenly divine image- His face was as bright as the sun and His raiment was white as light!

The divine being that Jesus Christ is can be trusted.

Look to Him.

Young (baby) birds look to their mothers to feed and nurture them.

Newborn birds look to the face of their mothers for survival.

The mother bird makes arrangements to feed her young, she's often ready, she's done some hunting and gathered some food; as her babies behold her countenance to survive she puts meat or worms in their young mouths/beaks.

These baby birds look to the countenance of their mothers out of trust.

The way young birds look to their parents (usually mothers) to survive and out of trust, that is how we must look to the countenance of our King for our survival and due to our trust in Him.

Psalm 34:10

When we look to the countenance of God our king our faces will not be ashamed.

When we behold God's countenance we are made radiant.

Psalm 34:5

When we look to the countenance of our King, we are not disappointed.

When we behold our King's countenance we are made glad.

Psalm 89:15

When our gaze is on our King's countenance we receive empowerment- the blessing!

Jeremiah 17:7-8

What we trust in is what we look to.

Whoever we trust is the person we focus on for help.

Looking to our King's countenance is evidence that we trust Him.

It is evidence of our faith in Him.

We cannot look to our King and not get something from Him.

Blind Bartimeus looked to Jesus and he got his sight (eyes) miraculously.

Mark 10:46-52

Those around him thought he was wasting his time calling out to Jesus.

There are people around us, just as it was with blind Bartimeus, who think you're wasting your time serving God, going to church, and praying.

They think you're wasting your time because it seems like things haven't worked out for you.

They might be telling you not to bother with spiritual things anymore, just like blind Bartimeus who was told not to bother Jesus.

Perhaps it's not people who are telling you such things but the voice of the enemy in your mind saying so.

Be encouraged. 

If you keep looking to the countenance of the King you will get your miracle from the King!

Your Father Hears

Matthew 6:5,6 Prayer should be directed to the Father. Jesus showed this when He taught His disciples the Lord's prayer. It should be a great comfort to you to know that the creator and God of all hears you when you pray. This should encourage you to pray and keep praying. In our day to day relationships with people our communication will reduce towards those who don't pay attention when we're talking to them. The good thing about God is that He is never distracted. Know you have His attention when you pray . He can be communicated with. He hears, He created the ears. Psalm 94:9 Jesus encouraged prayer. Matthew 26:40 Jesus taught prayer. Luke 11:1,2 If Jesus prayed, you will need to pray. Why Should You Pray? *Pray because prayer brings God's intervention. Isaiah 38:5,6 *Pray because that's how you are authorized to communicate with God. 1 Thessalonians 15:16-18 *Pray because it is a major way of birthing God's will on earth. 1 Kings 18

Navigating A New Year

 Isaiah  42:16 Our text passage above shows us God is the one who shows us the path to take and leads us in new directions. Your path matters to God. The way you you choose to take is important to God. Your steps are seen by God and ordered by God. Psalm 37:23 The year ahead of you matters to God too. Luke 13:8-9 Each year God has given you the grace to witness, experience, and journey through is another opportunity to be fruitful for God. God wants you to make the most of the year ahead of you to His glory. Human beings do not always know the way and path to go, we can be limited in wisdom. History shows we do not always make the best choices. The year ahead of us will require knowing the way to go, having the wisdom to make the best decisions and choices. Deuteronomy 30:19 To successfully navigate the year we need to stay in God.. To navigate is to find your way through, it is following the right path to a specific destination. Car drivers either buy a GPS/Navigation device system or

The Importance Of The Anointing

Acts 10:38 The anointing is the presence of the Holy Spirit with a person. The anointing speaks, the anointing directs, and the anointing teaches people what they need to know and do. 1 John 2:27 You need the anointing. You can grow in the anointing. It is also possible to depart from the anointing. The anointing won't depart from you but you can depart from the anointing. You should remain in Him. It is worth it investing time to understand the your anointing, growing in your anointing and obeying the anointing. As you get to know a person better by spending time with them, so it is with the anointing in your life. With the anointing, you can't go wrong. The anointing strategically positions you in God's kingdom and in life. Jesus was full of the Holy Spirit. Colossians 2:9 Jesus had the anointing when He was here on earth. Jesus is our example of what our life can be when we have the anointing. Hebrews 12:2 Jesus knew His purpose. Luke 2:49 Jesus
