Behold the Good

 'Behold, how good and how pleasant it is

For brothers to dwell together in unity!

It is like the precious oil [of consecration] poured on the head,
Coming down on the beard,
Even the beard of Aaron,
Coming down upon the edge of his [priestly] robes [consecrating the whole body].

It is like the dew of [Mount] Hermon
Coming down on the hills of Zion;
For there the Lord has commanded the blessing: life forevermore.' Psalm 133 (AMP)

For the thing that I can behold is something that I can see. It is an amazing thing when my God commands it for He will bring it to pass. Wasn't unity even one of the last things that our Lord prayed for, 'That they may be one.'

The image of the oil in church brings about visions of the anointing. Even during the consecration service when the priests were set apart, the oil was used in a type of Holy Spirit anointing. See it being poured onto the head of the one that will be representing God to the people.

And we can read and in our minds eye see it being applied very liberally, flowing down, nothing lacking, from top of the head to the feet, every part of the body is covered and healed. We know that the oils they used were a special combination of ingredients, a God ordained ointment, to help the body with amazing fragrances and healing properties. Both medicinal and spiritual.

And we have faith in doctors today, along with our faith in the Holy Spirit that God will heal us. We see him bringing us together, all like minded brothers and sisters, to dwell in the place where the Lord has commanded the blessing of life eternal. The place of abundance and where the dew is refreshing us and renewing us daily. The place of abundance and love. Love for one another. Unity is just such a place.

And the Church is just such a place where we can come together and be like-minded in love and in peace. Our pastor, God's representative to us and he guides us and shepherd's us through life as he sets the example and keeps us focused on God's Truth of what is good and pleasant and profitable. We, the people, also the saints and anointed ones being called, likewise, to do the good work.

God brings us all together, the rich, the poor, and all different types come together weekly and work together and pray together and we get along. The believers that live in love and peace also live with the God of love and peace with them. What else is more profitable to a man? Holy Spirit we pray for one another and we pray for forgiveness and that we forgive one another and come together in peace and unity. Goodwill is God's will.

The Day of the Lord Approaches

Image
' not forgetting to gather as a community, as some have forgotten, but encouraging each other, especially as the day of His return approaches.' Hebrews 10:25 (VOICE) Days of future trials are coming and yet are here. Last days. The day of His return approaches. No one knows the hour. So we are told to be even more diligent in our calling. We should be always watching, praying and bringing a word of encouragement to one another through the power of God. For what signs and wonders happen in the House of the Lord! Oh so amazing. The Miraculous. God provides the Fire. The battle is the Lords. We are told not to fret but only to enjoy the ride as we thank Him. So as I pray I want to thank you Lord. I am totally devoted to You. Equip me to preach the gospel. Now is the time and I will not forget my mission. As I arise I will not forget to put on my Full Armor of God. I will cling to your Bible. I am committed to carry it with me. I will hold it up as a sword in the town ...

Mixing Oil and Water

 ' Behold, how good and pleasant it is     when brothers dwell in unity! It is like the precious oil upon the head,      running down upon the beard,   upon the beard of Aaron,      running down on the collar of his robes! It is like the dew of Hermon,      which falls on the mountains of Zion! For there the Lord has commanded the blessing,      life for evermore. Psalm 133:1-3(RSV) Unity? Unity is what God sees and demands of us because He loves us. Uniformity is what men wrongly try to force on one another and try to do to one another and to those things around them. Uniformity leads to chaos. It's a challenge to try to live together in unity when we see the things around us as they really area, different. It's a lot like trying to mix oil and water. There truly are so many things to deal with in life, all of various sizes and shapes and colors and purposes....

The Look

Image
' Looking straight into their eyes, Jesus replied, “Humanly speaking, no one, because no one can save himself . But what seems impossible to you is never impossible to God!”' Matthew 19:26 (TPT) So if the poor deal with envy and the rich with pride, who then can get in? Who can be saved? None, except through the grace of God. Only God can save us. Only God can change the hearts and minds of men. Nothing is impossible to Him.  Dear Father Thank you for loving us and sending us Your Son Jesus our Savior even while we were yet sinners. When we were sinners You pursued us and turned our hearts toward You.  With just one look You could see into our souls. You knew what we needed. You did what needed to be done. You did the thing that seemed impossible to man. You perfected a Way for us to be reconciled to You and even with our sinful natures. You made converts out of us. It's nothing we could have done on our own without You. We could never doubt You. You cleaned us ...
