Receive Life

Psalms 136:17-26




"To Him who struck down great kings,
    For His mercy endures forever;
¹⁸ And slew famous kings,
    For His mercy endures forever—
¹⁹ Sihon king of the Amorites,
    For His mercy endures forever;
²⁰ And Og king of Bashan,
    For His mercy endures forever—
²¹ And gave their land as a heritage,
    For His mercy endures forever;
²² A heritage to Israel His servant,
    For His mercy endures forever.

²³ Who remembered us in our lowly state,
    For His mercy endures forever;
²⁴ And rescued us from our enemies,
    For His mercy endures forever;
²⁵ Who gives food to all flesh,
    For His mercy endures forever.

²⁶ Oh, give thanks to the God of heaven!
    For His mercy endures forever."

Our steps have been ordered by the Lord, so how can a man know his way, the bible tells.  God formed us in the womb, and we have been spoken over, to do great things and succeed.  There is nothing God won't do, if He sees us giving up this worlds life, to find our ordained ones.  God knew, if ever the demons were to get loose, He shaped, formed, and built us in a way, that we could connect to His strength, by His word.  God says, His word will not come back to Him void.  He says, He can change His mind, any time He pleases over our lives, to humble us, or, to make us succeed.  Verses 17-18 says, "To Him who struck down great kings, For His mercy endures forever;  And slew famous kings, For His mercy endures forever."  God says, The only thing different between the rich man and poor, is that He made them both.  (Isaiah 40:28-30)  "Have you not known? Have you not heard? The everlasting God, the Lord, The Creator of the ends of the earth, Neither faints nor is weary. His understanding is unsearchable. He gives power to the weak, And to those who have no might He increases strength.  Even the youths shall faint and be weary, And the young men shall utterly fall."  His mercy endures forever.  God tells us, That one day, is as a thousand years to Him, and a thousand years, as one day.  God has 7 billion children to care for, rebellious ones and all.  Therefore, He doesn't have time for our skepticism in His power.  The power is in the blood, and the blood ignites, when the word is fed properly.  The Bible is here on earth to run the earth.  It is an guide to conquer all God stands for, not satan.  It is here for God's children, who get lost or confused, and want to make proper sense of their universe.  (Isaiah 40:31)  "And those who wait on the Lord Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint."  We have a heritage, we've been adopted into an royal dynasty, by the blood of Christ.  We've been placed on earth to do great deeds and mighty acts of love, to lift and honor the name of God.  His mercy endures forever.  Receive life.

(Colossians 1:12-14)...' giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light. ¹³ He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, ¹⁴ in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins.'   

Blessings to all who receive life through the loving blood of Christ,
