ELYONE

MOST HIGH

Lamentations 3:38

Do not both adversity and good come from the mouth of the Most High?

Job 2:10

"You speak as a foolish woman speaks," he told her. "Should we accept from God only good and not adversity?" In all this, Job did not sin in what he said.

Isaiah 45:7

I form the light and create the darkness; I bring prosperity and create calamity. I, the LORD, do all these things.

The LORD GOD MOST HIGH Is Supreme. He is above all, over all and His throne is so far from us as to be beyond our sight. The LORD GOD MOST HIGH Is Omnipresent (everywhere at the same time), Omniscient (knows all, sees all) and Omnipotent (all powerful).

The Omnipresent God:

Psalm 139:7 Where shall I go from your spirit? or where shall I flee from your presence?

Proverbs 15:3 The eyes of the LORD are in every place, beholding the evil and the good.

The Omniscient God:

1 Chronicles 28:9 And you, Solomon my son, know you the God of your father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind: for the LORD searches all hearts, and understands all the imaginations of the thoughts: if you seek him, he will be found of you; but if you forsake him, he will cast you off for ever.

Romans 11:33 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!

The Omnipotent God:

Psalm 90:2 Before the mountains were born or You brought forth the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting You are God.

Psalm 93:2 Your throne is established from of old; You are from everlasting.

JEHOVAH CHECED

The LORD Is My Steadfast Love

Psalm 144:2

He is my steadfast love and my fortress, my stronghold and my deliverer. He is my shield, in whom I take refuge, who subdues peoples under me.

Steadfast Love: goodness of God, lovingkindness

Micah 7:18-19

Who is a God like You, who pardons iniquity and passes over the transgression of the remnant of His inheritance—who does not retain His anger forever, because He delights in Loving Devotion?

He will again have compassion on us; He will vanquish our iniquities. You will cast out all our sins into the depths of the sea.

This is my God. The God Who forgives sins and forgets sins. 

Isaiah 43:25

I, yes I, am He who blots out your transgressions for My own sake and remembers your sins no more.

Hebrews 8:12

For I will forgive their iniquities and will remember their sins no more.

The LORD Is My Steadfast Love.

 JEHOVAH GAAL

The LORD Redeemer

Isaiah 48:17

Thus says the LORD your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: "I am the LORD your God, who teaches you for your benefit, who directs you in the way you should go."

Psalm 32:8

I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you [who are willing to learn] with My eye upon you.

Psalm 73:2

You guide me with Your counsel, and later receive me in glory.

ELOHIM MACHSEH OZE

God Is Our Refuge & Strength

Psalm 46:1

For the choirmaster. 

Of the sons of Korah. 

According to Alamoth. 

A song. 

God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in times of trouble.

Deuteronomy 4:7

For what nation is great enough to have a god as near to them as the LORD our God is to us whenever we call on Him?

Psalm 32:6

Therefore let all the godly pray to You while You may be found. Surely when great waters rise, they will not come near.

EL YAAQOB

THE GOD OF JACOB

Psalm 146:5-6

Happy is he that has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God, the Maker of heaven and earth, the sea, and everything in them. He remains faithful forever.

Psalm 71:5

For you, O Lord, are my hope, my trust, O LORD, from my youth.

Mercy of God

 

1 Chronicles 16:34

O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever.

Mercy: Lovingkindness, Loving Devotion

What is the Mercy which God which God extends to people?

1. Redemption from enemies and troubles. We should Trust in it; Rejoice in it; Hope in it..

2. Preservation of life from death.

3. Quickening of spiritual life.

4. Redemption from sin.

5. Covenant-keeping

These things, this Mercy of God, is for ever. For us it is while we have breath, this life we have been given. The decision to believe God and follow Christ must be made on this side of eternity. You can't change your mind after you die. It'll be too late then. 

  

James 4:13-14

Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business, and make a profit.”  You do not even know what will happen tomorrow! What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.

2 Peter 3:9

The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

Applying The Word -- The Word of Salvation

 Romans 10:9

I confess with my mouth (speak out loud) that Jesus is LORD. I believe in my ❤️ that God raised Him from the dead, and I am saved.

Romans 10:13

I am a whosoever. I have called on His Name and He has saved me.

Applying The Word -- Living A Life Worthy

 Philippians 1:27-29

I am to live a life worthy of the gospel, to stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel.

I will not be terrified by those who come against me, which to them is an indication of their destruction, but to me of salvation, which is of God.

For to me is given on the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on Him, but also to suffer for His sake.

Applying the Word to Our Lives - Living The Living Word

     

      It's funny, isn't it, how when we read the word, 'you', we know it applies to us, but when we pray regarding a verse, we apply it to others but not ourselves? But the Bible is meant to be applied and lived in our lives every single day. 

     So, I've been doing this thing on Facebook every few days, where I post a Scripture that I apply to my life as if it had been written to me personally, which of course, it is now. Though Paul was writing to the churches at the time of his writings, he also writes to me, for I am the church in my time, because I am a Christian, a Christ follower.

I am accountable for more than what I say and what I do and what I think. I am accountable for what I read and how I use what I read in my life. Therefore, I will be accountable to my heavenly Father, for how I applied His Word to my life.

     I must read Scripture and read it into my life. The Holy Spirit compels me to get into the Word and to get God's Word into me, that He might use the Word to shape me into a usable vessel for God's glory. 

August 12: Colossians 1:21-23

Once  I was alienated from God, and hostile in my mind, engaging in evil deeds. But now God has reconciled me by Christ's physical body through death to present me holy, unblemished and blameless in His presence --- if, indeed, I continue in my faith, established and firm, not moved from the hope of the gospel which I have heard, which is proclaimed to every creature under heaven.

August 14: Today's WORD 

I declare that Jesus Is LORD and believe in my ❤️ that God raised Him from the dead, therefore I am saved. For it is by believing in my ❤️ that I am made right with God, and it is by openly declaring my faith that I am saved. 

Romans 10:9-10

For by grace am I saved through faith, not of anything I have done, but it is the gift of God, not by works that I have done.

Ephesians 2:8-9

Why do we need to be saved? And what are we being saved from?

John 3:16, 17

"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved." 

Unbelief determines destination after death. 

John 3:18-21

"Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. 

And this is the verdict: The Light has come into the world, but men loved the darkness rather than the Light because their deeds were evil.

Everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come into the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed.

But whoever practices the truth comes into the Light, so that it may be seen clearly that what he has done has been accomplished in God."

Revelation 21:8

But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.

Galatians 5:19-21

The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity, and debauchery; idolatry and sorcery; hatred, discord, jealousy, and rage; rivalries, divisions, factions, and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

1 John 1:7-9

If we say we have fellowship with Him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.  But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin. If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Galatians 5:22-23

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

August 15: As I have therefore received Christ Jesus the LORD, so do I walk in Him: rooted and built up in Him, established in the faith, abounding herein with thanksgiving. 

Colossians 2:6-7

August 16: Colossians 2:8-14

I must see to it that no one takes me captive through philosophy and empty deception, which are based on human tradition and the spiritual forces of the world rather than on Christ.

For in Christ all the fulness of the Deity dwells in bodily form.

And I have been made complete in Christ, who is the head over every ruler and authority.

In Him you were also circumcised, in the putting off of your sinful nature, with the circumcision performed by Christ and not by human hands. (cf. Ezekiel  36:26 )

 Having been buried with Him in baptism, I was raised with Him through my faith in the power of God, who raised Him from the dead.

When I was dead in my trespasses and in the uncircumcision of my sinful nature, God made me  alive with Christ. He forgave me all my trespasses,

having canceled the debt ascribed to me in the decrees that stood against me. He took it away, nailing it to the cross!

August 17: Philippians 2:12-16

I continue to work out my salvation with fear and trembling. For it is God who works in me to will and to act on behalf of His good purpose. 

I am to do everything without complaining or arguing, that I may be blameless and pure, a child of God without fault, in a crooked and perverse generation, in which I shine as a light in the world as I hold forth the Word of life.

And while these past few days are posted all at once today, I'll try to post the new applications here when I post them on other social media. I'm trying to stay organized, on top of things. 

I Declare

 I declare that Jesus Is LORD and believe in my ❤️ that God raised Him from the dead, therefore I am saved. For it is be believing in my ❤️ that I am made right with God, and it is by openly declaring my faith that I am saved. 

Romans 10:9-10

Ephesians 2:8-9

Why do we need to be saved? And what are we being saved from?

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

Risen And Resurrected

 Risen and Resurrected are two different events.

Luke 24:6-7  "He is not here; He has risen! Remember how He told you while He was still in Galilee: ‘The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and on the third day rise again.’ ”

Matthew 28:6 "He is not here; He has risen, just as He said! Come, see the place where He lay."

Mark 16:6 "But he said to them, “Do not be alarmed. You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here! See the place where they put Him."

John 20:10-18 Describes what happened after Jesus rose from the dead (risen) and walked out of the grave (resurrected). 

Risen means to wake up, to stand. Generally speaking it means to awaken from sleep or death. Risen is to call the dead to life, as Jesus does when he speaks to Lazarus in John 11:33-34, "After Jesus had said this, He called out in a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!” The man who had been dead came out with his hands and feet bound in strips of linen, and his face wrapped in a cloth. “Unwrap him and let him go,” Jesus told them.

Resurrection is Jesus. He tells us this Himself in John 11:25 "Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live." 

Resurrection is to rise again, to stand again. It is a repeat of what has already happened, to wit: He is risen. But now being the Resurrection He is also resurrected! Praise The LORD!!
