Receive His Mercy

Psalms 136:10-16




"To Him who struck Egypt in their firstborn,
    For His mercy endures forever;
11 And brought out Israel from among them,
    For His mercy endures forever;
12 With a strong hand, and with an outstretched arm,
    For His mercy endures forever;
13 To Him who divided the Red Sea in two,
    For His mercy endures forever;
14 And made Israel pass through the midst of it,
For His mercy endures forever;
15 But overthrew Pharaoh and his army in the Red Sea,
    For His mercy endures forever;
16 To Him who led His people through the wilderness,
    For His mercy endures forever."

God made us, we didn't make Him.  We are not allowed to tell God, He only has so much power to bring us out and situate us in the heavenly places.  Why?  Because this is His world, which operates under His authority, and He knows all the ends and outs to make His word true.  Verse 12 says, With a strong hand, and with an outstretched arm, For His mercy endures forever.  God knows what we're up against, weather we believe it or not, demons.  Only by His mercy will even accept us at His throne, in a time of need.  Meaning, we must come to our senses, and admit, only God can situate us with peace, love, and prosperity.  He says, Without Him we can do nothing.  I believe we do that daily, with our thoughts and actions, and the crying out for Him to do something.  God says, Faith without works are dead.  (Jeremiah 17:9-10)  "The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked;
Who can know it? 10 I, the Lord, search the heart, I test the mind, Even to give every man according to his ways, According to the fruit of his doings."  (Galatians 6:7-8)  "Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life."  satan plays many tricks on our flesh, and can have us looking pretty awful in the sight of God.  God's commandments are for this purpose.  He also says, Resist the enemy and he will flee.  However, satan is so much more cunning, baffling, and  wiser than us, that we don't believe we've been captured by his mirage.  We have our flesh and we have our spirit, and anyone who comes to God, must come to Him in spirit.  This enables Him to send us power through the spirit that we may deny the flesh and walk in the promises.  We can do all things through Christ Jesus Who strengthens us.  (Luke 16:13)  "No servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.”  God says, We have become slaves to righteousness, because of His Son's and our Brother's act upon the cross.  Receive His mercy.  

(Lamentations 3:22-23)  "Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed, Because His compassions fail not.23 They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness."

Blessings to all who treasures the mercies from God,
