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...

Out Of The Ashes

Isaiah 61:3 Ashes are not seen as useful substances. Ashes are waste that's thrown away. Ashes are what is left after a substance is burnt out. Your life may seem like ashes right now but something good and beautiful can come out of it when it's given to God. You may feel like an ash yourself. You may be feeling burnt out from unpleasant experiences of the past, the previous week, the last Month , or the the last year and life's battles may have left you burnt out. Know that out of your ashes can come beauty! God is the one who gives us beauty for ashes. God can make you and your life beautiful! Don't make the ashes your permanent state. God can make your season of ashes work out into a season of glory for you. Romans 8:28 The phoenix is a mystical and fictional bird that burns out after living for about six centuries. After burning itself out it rises from it's ashes renewed, youthful and revitalized to live through another life cycle. Like the p...
