Rest and get going

Gal 6:9  And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

I think a lot of God's people are weary but we are to find rest for our bodies and stay in the spirit for it is the spirit of God that overcomes the spirits of the world. Putting on the armour of God is putting on the weapons of the spirit.

Eph 6:11  Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
Eph 6:12  For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

We wrestle with spirits. Wrestling takes energy and stamina. I remember the story of Jacob wrestling with the angel all night until he received a blessing. We may wrestle with satan's angel all night, but there is one sure way to overcome. Speak out loud the name of JESUS.

I heard a talk about organized crime and how they seek power in order to enrich themselves. What higher power than in government? The highest powers on earth can not overcome the power of God. We are overcomers in Christ Jesus. So we are not to be weary, we are to keep going and to do good.

Gal 6:10  As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.

Stay in the Spirit, get rest and get up again and do good. Seek to make as many disciples as possible for Jesus, this is our purpose.

Psalm 6

If I am made aware that I have failed in a some way, my first thought is to make things right. I suppose I fail at many things and the LORD will show me my weaknesses in His loving way. Often things happen to make us aware of our failings, for he already knows them all. We may feel rejected, betrayed, unloved...take it all to the LORD. Another feeling that comes is not from the LORD. It is the fear that comes from the enemy of our soul. He will try to block any good thing of the LORD; we keep going, we go through the spiritual battles and live in victory.

 

Psa 6:1  To the chief Musician on Neginoth upon Sheminith, A Psalm of David. O LORD, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.
Psa 6:2  Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I am weak: O LORD, heal me; for my bones are vexed.
Psa 6:3  My soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O LORD, how long?
Psa 6:4  Return, O LORD, deliver my soul: oh save me for thy mercies' sake.
Psa 6:5  For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks?
Psa 6:6  I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears.
Psa 6:7  Mine eye is consumed because of grief; it waxeth old because of all mine enemies.
Psa 6:8  Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for the LORD hath heard the voice of my weeping.
Psa 6:9  The LORD hath heard my supplication; the LORD will receive my prayer.
Psa 6:10  Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed: let them return and be ashamed suddenly.

 

If you walk with the Lord, your enemies are his enemies. If we are at fault, then we need to do some repenting and correcting.

 

1Pe 2:19  For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully.
1Pe 2:20  For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God.
1Pe 2:21  For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:
1Pe 2:22  Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:
1Pe 2:23  Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously:
1Pe 2:24  Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.
