Serve God Willingly

Deuteronomy 4: 41-49


Then Moses set apart three cities on this side of the Jordan, toward the rising of the sun, ⁴² that the manslayer might flee there, who kills his neighbor unintentionally, without having hated him in time past, and that by fleeing to one of these cities he might live: ⁴³ Bezer in the wilderness on the plateau for the Reubenites, Ramoth in Gilead for the Gadites, and Golan in Bashan for the Manassites.
⁴⁴ Now this is the law which Moses set before the children of Israel. ⁴⁵ These are the testimonies, the statutes, and the judgments which Moses spoke to the children of Israel after they came out of Egypt, ⁴⁶ on this side of the Jordan, in the valley opposite Beth Peor, in the land of Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt at Heshbon, whom Moses and the children of Israel defeated after they came out of Egypt. ⁴⁷ And they took possession of his land and the land of Og king of Bashan, two kings of the Amorites, who were on this side of the Jordan, toward the rising of the sun, ⁴⁸ from Aroer, which is on the bank of the River Arnon, even to Mount Sion (that is, Hermon), ⁴⁹ and all the plain on the east side of the Jordan as far as the Sea of the Arabah, below the slopes of Pisgah.




Our merciful God who judges us by the intents of our minds and hearts.  Three cities set apart for His children who kill without intent.  However, if we don't learn the word of God and sit back and watch it work, we to will find ourselves fighting with the enemy without a place of refugee to hide.  Lands and businesses satan has built on our ignorance to God's word, and God wants we His children to right this wrong, and sit in our rightful positions.  We are heirs to the throne of Jesus Christ and He has given us the Holy Spirit to wreck havoc on His enemy, satan.  (Matthew 11:12)  " And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force."  We must learn these testimonies that are written within our bible and use them to gain the advantage over satan.  Only by learning these statues, judgments, and fruits of the spirit, will we be led out of darkness to please God.  (Romans 12: 1-3)  "I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. ² And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
³ For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith."  satan blinded and deceived kings, how much more easier it is for him to blind us?  Luke 4: 5-8)  "Then the devil, taking Him up on a high mountain, showed Him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. ⁶ And the devil said to Him, “All this authority I will give You, and their glory; for this has been delivered to me, and I give it to whomever I wish. ⁷ Therefore, if You will worship before me, all will be Yours.”
⁸ And Jesus answered and said to him, “Get behind Me, Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve.’ ”  Lets humble ourselves to our Lord and serve God willingly. 


(Titus 3:4,6-7)  "But when the kindness and the love of God our Savior toward man appeared, ⁵ not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, ⁶ whom He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior, ⁷ that having been justified by His grace we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life."

Entertain This In Our Heart

Deuteronomy 4:32-40


"For ask now concerning the days that are past, which were before you, since the day that God created man on the earth, and ask from one end of heaven to the other, whether any great thing like this has happened, or anything like it has been heard. ³³ Did any people ever hear the voice of God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as you have heard, and live? ³⁴ Or did God ever try to go and take for Himself a nation from the midst of another nation, by trials, by signs, by wonders, by war, by a mighty hand and an outstretched arm, and by great terrors, according to all that the Lord your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes? ³⁵ To you it was shown, that you might know that the Lord Himself is God; there is none other besides Him. ³⁶ Out of heaven He let you hear His voice, that He might instruct you; on earth He showed you His great fire, and you heard His words out of the midst of the fire. ³⁷ And because He loved your fathers, therefore He chose their descendants after them; and He brought you out of Egypt with His Presence, with His mighty power, ³⁸ driving out from before you nations greater and mightier than you, to bring you in, to give you their land as an inheritance, as it is this day. ³⁹ Therefore know this day, and consider it in your heart, that the Lord Himself is God in heaven above and on the earth beneath; there is no other. ⁴⁰ You shall therefore keep His statutes and His commandments which I command you today, that it may go well with you and with your children after you, and that you may prolong your days in the land which the Lord your God is giving you for all time.”


We need to embrace and understand that we have been placed on earth to serve God, and God alone.  Moses, wanted us to get this into our brains and hearts, that God lives and there is no other.  He says, ask from one end of heaven to the other, whether any great thing like this has happened, or anything like it has been heard. Did anyone ever hear the voice of God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as they have heard and live? Verses 32-33.  Great and mighty things our God wants to show us today, signs, wonders, and miracles are the works He would like to perform before our earthly eyes.  However, this can only be done with a direct obedience to His word.  As we've read from the terrors satan and God placed upon Egypt, God hardening Pharos heart, showed He has the last word.  If God be for us, who can come against us.  The wars and terrors that are going on today are unnecessary.  God wants His children free from the hands of satan, and the lifting of hands to Him.  We are in our own cities and countries, divided against one another and it's heartbreaking.  Most of our world is moving to its own beat and God is showing His vengeance, against His children who wont obey.  This is God's world, not ours to destroy and come against another as strangers.  There are statues, commandments, and fruits of His Spirit that we are to learn to bring peace to ourselves.  We are to be multiplying peace and love to prolong our days on earth.  Wealth and success from Him should be taking up our time until He comes back for us.  Verse 39, "Therefore know this day, and consider it in your heart, that the Lord Himself is God in heaven above and on the earth beneath; there is no other."  Entertain this in our heart. 


(Ephesians 6:14-15 Amp:)  "Stand therefore...having shod your feet in preparation (to face the enemy with the firm-footed stability, the promptness, and the readiness produced by the good news) of the Gospel of peace." 


Blessings to all who put God in their hearts,

Obey His Voice

Deuteronomy 4:15-31




“Take careful heed to yourselves, for you saw no form when the Lord spoke to you at Horeb out of the midst of the fire, ¹⁶ lest you act corruptly and make for yourselves a carved image in the form of any figure: the likeness of male or female, ¹⁷ the likeness of any animal that is on the earth or the likeness of any winged bird that flies in the air, ¹⁸ the likeness of anything that creeps on the ground or the likeness of any fish that is in the water beneath the earth. ¹⁹ And take heed, lest you lift your eyes to heaven, and when you see the sun, the moon, and the stars, all the host of heaven, you feel driven to worship them and serve them, which the Lord your God has given to all the peoples under the whole heaven as a heritage. ²⁰ But the Lord has taken you and brought you out of the iron furnace, out of Egypt, to be His people, an inheritance, as you are this day. ²¹ Furthermore the Lord was angry with me for your sakes, and swore that I would not cross over the Jordan, and that I would not enter the good land which the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance. ²² But I must die in this land, I must not cross over the Jordan; but you shall cross over and possess that good land. ²³ Take heed to yourselves, lest you forget the covenant of the Lord your God which He made with you, and make for yourselves a carved image in the form of anything which the Lord your God has forbidden you. ²⁴ For the Lord your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God.
²⁵ “When you beget children and grandchildren and have grown old in the land, and act corruptly and make a carved image in the form of anything, and do evil in the sight of the Lord your God to provoke Him to anger, ²⁶ I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that you will soon utterly perish from the land which you cross over the Jordan to possess; you will not prolong your days in it, but will be utterly destroyed. ²⁷ And the Lord will scatter you among the peoples, and you will be left few in number among the nations where the Lord will drive you. ²⁸ And there you will serve gods, the work of men’s hands, wood and stone, which neither see nor hear nor eat nor smell. ²⁹ But from there you will seek the Lord your God, and you will find Him if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul. ³⁰ When you are in distress, and all these things come upon you in the latter days, when you turn to the Lord your God and obey His voice ³¹ (for the Lord your God is a merciful God), He will not forsake you nor destroy you, nor forget the covenant of your fathers which He swore to them."


Verses 15-16 says, We are to take careful heed that we don't make God out of an liar, or to take male, female, or any animal that is on this earth and make an carved image of these things, that we might act corruptly.  We're already there and have taken the likes of these things and made them our god's.  Sculptures, artifacts, jewelry, and every other type of metal or wood have been carved into different works to strengthen our bank accounts and to please our flesh.  Verse 19 says, That we are to also take heed that we don't lift our eyes to the heavens and begin to worship the stars, moon, or sun.  Astrology, psychics, physicist, and so on, have been building their careers off these works from God since generations gone by.  God wants to be our everything and in everything we are to be giving Him the glory.  He says, everything in our world is His and everything is for His glory and honor.  We have let our ancestors determine our out look on life and not God Almighty.  Verse 20 says by doing this, we are leaving ourselves in an iron furnace to be misused and abused by man.  Remember, God says, Our worlds wisdom is foolishness to Him and we will be burned in the lake of fire with the head leader of this mirage, satan.  God has ordained for us an inheritance, however, after the people crossed over into the promised land, all these forbidden things were done and continues.  We are killing, stealing, and deceiving one another for any material gain and believe me, God is angry.  Moses has called heaven and earth as an witness against us, that we might be destroyed if we're not giving God His due honor.  God is also acting upon this curse handed down until all His enemies have become His footstool.  We can see and hear this misery everywhere, but verse 29 says, If we will seek the Lord, we will find Him, I did with all my heart, mind, body, and soul.  We must humble to the word of God.  He asks us, not to think of ourselves more highly than we ought too.  Obey His voice. 


(Philippians 4:6-7)  "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; ⁷ and the (peace) of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus."

Go Posess The Land

Deuteronomy 4:7-14
“For what great nation is there that has God so near to it, as the Lord our God is to us, for whatever reason we may call upon Him? ⁸ And what great nation is there that has such statutes and righteous judgments as are in all this law which I set before you this day? 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, ¹⁰ especially concerning the day you stood before the Lord your God in Horeb, when the Lord said to me, ‘Gather the people to Me, and I will let them hear My words, that they may learn to fear Me all the days they live on the earth, and that they may teach their children.’
¹¹ “Then you came near and stood at the foot of the mountain, and the mountain burned with fire to the midst of heaven, with darkness, cloud, and thick darkness. ¹² And the Lord spoke to you out of the midst of the fire. You heard the sound of the words, but saw no form; you only heard a voice. ¹³ So He declared to you His covenant which He commanded you to perform, the Ten Commandments; and He wrote them on two tablets of stone. ¹⁴ And the Lord commanded me at that time to teach you statutes and judgments, that you might observe them in the land which you cross over to possess."


We ask and complain why God hasn't done something about this terrible situation we find our nations in today.  Our reading here explains it.  We are not aligning are laws to biblical standing.  We are not setting the bar high enough for ourselves, in order to attain God's statues and orders to see His results.  Verse 8 says, "And what great nation is there that has such statues and righteous judgments as are in (all) this law which I set before you today."  God has given us dominion over His earth.  However, He has also given us a book of orders in how to establish it and make it an success.  If our world lays under the sway of satan, and we are not seeing the signs, wonders, and miracles God says we will witness, if we will abide by His laws, who are we letting run the show?  This is why God asks, that we work out our salvation with fear and trembling.  He says, if one of His sheep are lost, He will extend His hand in order to help us.  We must reach out our hand to God and show Him we want His assistance, by working His laws into our character daily.  God says, Draw near to Me and I will draw near to you.  He tells us all through His word how He delights in righteousness.  Verse 9 states, Only take heed to ourselves and diligently keep ourselves lest we forget the things our eyes have seen, and lest they depart from our hearts all the days of our lives.  I know this verse pertains to me especially, by all the signs, wonders, and miracles, He's done for me.  Our God says, He is a jealous God and it is an terrible thing to fall into the hands of the living God.  We must put God's words into our hearts today and learn to fear Him, as we walk His earth.  Verses 13-14 says, We are to perform these laws in our matters each day as we walk with Him, that we might observe them in our cities to go and possess the land.  


(Psalms 112:1-4)  "Praise the Lord! Blessed is the man who fears the Lord, Who delights greatly in His commandments.  His descendants will be mighty on earth; The generation of the upright will be blessed.  Wealth and riches will be in his house, And his righteousness endures forever. Unto the upright there arises light in the darkness; He is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous."


Blessings to all who seek God and His lands righteously,

Learn Gods Commands

Deuteronomy 4:1-6




Now, O Israel, listen to the statutes and the judgments which I teach you to observe, that you may live, and go in and possess the land which the Lord God of your fathers is giving you. ² You shall not add to the word which I command you, nor take from it, that you may keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you. ³ Your eyes have seen what the Lord did at Baal Peor; for the Lord your God has destroyed from among you all the men who followed Baal of Peor. ⁴ But you who held fast to the Lord your God are alive today, every one of you.
⁵ “Surely I have taught you statutes and judgments, just as the Lord my God commanded me, that you should act according to them in the land which you go to possess. ⁶ Therefore be careful to observe them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the peoples who will hear all these statutes, and say, ‘Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.’




The story continues, Abraham left us an inheritance and God intends on fulfilling His promise to our forefathers.  If we will begin to look deeper into God's word and line our plans up with His plans, our lives can become successful.  satan has taken a lot of God's property because we won't adhere to God's statues, judgments, and commands.  Most of us are looking for quiet, successful lives and are coming up short, by trying to assert our plans for success instead of God's.  God's word is good yesterday, today, and forever.  Until we embrace this truth and join along side God in righteousness, we will not live out our full years in peace or abundance.  God asks, that we not add to His word nor take away from it, for our protection.  We must understand it is more to life then just ourselves, and our families happiness.  God plays a universal part in our plans for peace, happiness, and riches, and if He's not happy, we won't be either.  The only way to make sense of our world and God's plan for it, is to study to show ourselves approved.  We must be sick and tired of being sick and tired of unrighteousness all around us.  God says, love Him with all our heart, mind, body and soul, and love our fellowman as we love ourselves.  Love, true love for God and all His works will unlock His beauty and mystery for our lives..  So be prepared to fight the good fight of faith to succeed and learn God's commands.


(Proverbs 16:3 Amplified)  "Roll your works upon the Lord(commit and trust them wholly  to Him, He will cause your thoughts to become agreeable to His will, and) so shall your plans be established and succeed."


Blessings to all who learn Father God's plan for success,

Pray For Life

Psalms 143:1-6


Hear my prayer, O Lord,
Give ear to my supplications!
In Your faithfulness answer me,
And in Your righteousness.
² Do not enter into judgment with Your servant,
For in Your sight no one living is righteous.

³ For the enemy has persecuted my soul;
He has crushed my life to the ground;
He has made me dwell in darkness,
Like those who have long been dead.
⁴ Therefore my spirit is overwhelmed within me;
My heart within me is distressed.

⁵ I remember the days of old;
I meditate on all Your works;
I muse on the work of Your hands.
⁶ I spread out my hands to You;
My soul longs for You like a thirsty land. Selah"

David's heart was in tuned with our Lord's heart.  David had learned God's laws and commandments for life each day, and humbled himself before the Lord, to tell God it was enough.  God runs this world, along with His council, judges, and elects.  He also has an army of Angles to keep His orders in motion.  When we seek God's laws and commands daily, and begin to implement them in life.  We will soon see our fight is not against flesh and blood, but truly against powers and principalities in the heavens.  This also means, if we have not chosen God to be our rescuer and deliverer, the fight will be enormous and only the grace of God can help us win.  God has set orders, boundaries, and commands for His children to save our lives.  He had to do this remembering, we come from dust.  However, satan's not in lined with Father God's laws, so if we're not, it's all fair game between the both of them. We know by David's past, he did an number of the things that went against God's commands.  I believe in these verses, Father God is reprimanding him for it.  God wants us, His children home.  He made us, designed us, and tailor fitted us to serve His church, Him. The I Am, the Alpha and Omega, The jealous God, The one who said, we will serve no other god's but Him.  Our  whole world lays under the sway of satan, and our powers are no match for him, without God.  We are being judged each day by our walks, and actions, by God and His council of elects.  God is truly at spiritual war with satan.  The things I see, learn, and hear from our words, tells me there's an war going on inside of us. This war that is now seeping into our communities, and we're killing one another, mind, body, and spirit.  We must go back as David did, remembering the days of old.  He went back in His spirit  and knew God was with him from the beginning of life.  He even mused and delighted himself in God' wonderful works, to keep his mind from going insane.  We must return back in our spirits to innocent children and approach Father God, like the Dad, He says He is.  Then pray for life.  

(1 Corinthians 14:20)  " Brethren, do not be children in understanding; however, in malice be babes, but in understanding be mature."

Give The Lord Praise

Psalms 115:12-18




The Lord has been mindful of us;
He will bless us;
He will bless the house of Israel;
He will bless the house of Aaron.
¹³ He will bless those who fear the Lord,
Both small and great.

¹⁴ May the Lord give you increase more and more,
You and your children.
¹⁵ May you be blessed by the Lord,
Who made heaven and earth.

¹⁶ The heaven, even the heavens, are the Lord’s;
But the earth He has given to the children of men.
¹⁷ The dead do not praise the Lord,
Nor any who go down into silence.
¹⁸ But we will bless the Lord
From this time forth and forevermore.

Praise the Lord!

Ask yourself today do you really fear the Lord?  Are we really watching our words and actions each day to please our Father God who's up in heaven?  Our bible says, it is an terrible thing to fall into the hands of the living God.  Would it be safe to say, that our world might be in the situation it is in today, because we're really not fearing God who made heaven and earth?  God asked in the beginning, that we take ourselves male or female and join together as one, and multiply love and peace across His lands in every living creature.  This is not being done today and so we are reaping what we sow.  Verse 12 says, the Lord has been mindful of us, so He has no alternative but to give us what we deserve.  Remember, God chastens those He loves.  We are to be going from glory to glory God says in HIs word, if we'll abide by His commands.  Blessings are to be chasing us down as we wait patiently on our Lord.  We gentiles have been adopted into a royal dynasty, and we treat it as if it is an hoax.  God will bless those who fear Him, both small and great verse 13 states.  We are to be walking out our salvation with fear and trembling to make this dream come true.  God tells us everything we need to do in His word to please Him, and be blessed.  I've yet to see someone really working the blessing.  Unless we really take the time to engulfed ourselves in His miracles, wonders, and visions, praising Him like no other for this blessing.  We will sit watching satan build God's lands and not the children of God.  Give the Lord praise. 

(Psalms 143:8)  "Cause me to hear Your lovingkindness in the morning,
For in You do I trust;
Cause me to know the way in which I should walk,
For I lift up my soul to You."

(Luke 2:13-14)  "And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying:

¹⁴ “Glory to God in the highest,
And on earth peace, goodwill toward men."

Blessings to all who praise our Lord in peace and love,
