Deliver For Him

Malachi 1:6-8



"A son honors his father,
And a servant his master.
If then I am the Father,
Where is My honor?
And if I am a Master,
Where is My reverence?
Says the Lord of hosts
To you priests who despise My name.
Yet you say, ‘In what way have we despised Your name?’

⁷ “You offer defiled food on My altar,
But say,
‘In what way have we defiled You?’
By saying,
‘The table of the Lord is contemptible.’
⁸ And when you offer the blind as a sacrifice,
Is it not evil?
And when you offer the lame and sick,
Is it not evil?
Offer it then to your governor!
Would he be pleased with you?
Would he accept you favorably?”
Says the Lord of hosts."

This is our  salvation we are fighting for, eternal life.  God's commandments, must be obeyed to defeat the enemy and obtain life.  God is our Father, Who never sleeps or slumbers.  Always ready to stand in battle with us, to keep satan under our foot.  However, if we can't renew our minds to God's promises and blessings.  Believing in faith that He's here, the race can't be won.  He commands and deserves honor and glory from us.  Praise and worship, for all that He's done, doing, and about to do for us.  We are to stand for what He stands for, righteousness and justice for all.  We have to clean up our minds and hearts.  And stand as children of God.  Verse 6 says, "A son honors his father, And a servant his master. If then I am the Father Where is My honor? And if I am a Master, Where is My reverence? Says the Lord of hosts To you priests who despise My name.  Yet you say,

 ‘In what way have we despised Your name?"  We despise God's name in so many things we say and do.  Our church is not standing and pushing the fact, that we are up against demons.  Or that their are Angels here to protect, love, and guide us. As the church teaches us how to correctly fight these demons.  This is true love for God and man, when we walk in His truth.  Love that helps us clean up our spirits, and destroy our sinful habits.  Drawing us closer to God, as He will draw closer to us.  Hello's, good mornings, and thank you, are what tug at God's Heart.  Smiling, loving, and sharing, as we strive for His peace.  Gives God honor and praise.  And gives us the authority to represent God, as His children and ambassadors.  Verses 7-8 says, "You offer defiled food on My altar, But say, 'In what way have we defiled You?’ By saying,‘The table of the Lord is contemptible.’And when you offer the blind as a sacrifice, Is it not evil? And when you offer the lame and sick, Is it not evil? Offer it then to your governor! Would he be pleased with you? Would he accept you favorably?” Says the Lord of hosts."  Our world is completely out of control and God's will.  We do and say what we want.  Believing there are no consequences behind our acts.  Our churches rally up with our world, hoping to bring man's peace and not God's peace.  I've even been lied to in my face, from men of the cloth.  And they go on with no apology, as if a sin had not been committed.  So are the blind really seeing and cripple walking ?  There's no way God can bless this, or our unions together.  He's 100% real in all He says and does. And we must embrace this and represent Him that way.  Because we are in the world, but not of it.  We're a peculiar people.  With God's awesome powers ready to deliver and be delivered.  Deliver for Him.

(Deuteronomy 4:9)  "Only take heed to yourself, and diligently keep yourself, lest you forget the things your eyes have seen, and lest they depart from your heart all the days of your life. And teach them to your children and your grandchildren."

(Deuteronomy 6:7-9)  "You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up. You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates."

Blessings to all who wrap their hearts around God's commands,
