Are You In?

The Lord asked me this morning: ARE YOU IN?

"Are You In? Cast Your Lot In With Me… Completely! Cling Tighter To Me! Dig Your Roots Deeper In My Kingdom! Because there is a storm coming of great magnitude and if you are not In, Completely In with Me… you will be swept away! Are You In?"

 

So, the next Presidential Debate (that is next week) lets pass the word that while it plays outloud for the nation, we pray outloud for the nation… Are You In?

 

I woke up this morning with this Psalm 58 on my heart and knew the Lord wanted me to look at it, that He wanted to say something to me this morning... and after I read it I was stunned because it is not your usual thing to wake up to… but I felt God whisper in that still small voice:

"This is exactly a picture of how I feel about all your heart corrupted American Politicians who thought they could do business as usual without Me… and by the way… everyone is part of the whole of it. Repent! Bow Before Me And Make Me First! Are You In?"

Psalm 58:1-5 A David Psalm

Is this any way to run a country? Is there an honest politician in the house? Behind the scenes you brew cauldrons of evil, behind closed doors you make deals with demons. 3-5 The wicked crawl from the wrong side of the cradle; their first words out of the womb are lies. poison, lethal rattlesnake poison, drips from their forked tongues— Deaf to threats, deaf to charm, decades of wax built up in their ears.

This psalm does not get much better from there on… read it for yourself and see… OHHHHH interesting!! The thing that does put a catch in my heart this morning is that if we all our tired, very tired of all the lies, the bashing the staged and scripted debates we have been subjected to in this election for way over a year now, I wonder how God feels? Words spoken where after they are spent, there is not much that is said that is truth, plain truth! Facts that are being stretched, spun, taken out of context, whitewashed or straight out untrue! If we are so very inwardly disturbed by it all… again… think of how God feels!! Selah!!!

I think this Psalm 58 will give you a tiny view of His righteous anger. I don't think of God much in that way, because He is so good and that goodness is so prevalent all around me in so many ways. He is truly an amazing Creator, Provider, Friend and Lord! He does have that side of His personality that is slow to anger, yet I have seen by the testimonies of our fore-fathers that when He does decide to erratic sin… look out!! He does it and He does it completely, swiftly and finally!

Ezekiel 18:30-33

Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways, says the Lord God. Repent and turn from all your transgressions, lest iniquity be your ruin and so shall they not be a stumbling block to you. 31Cast away from you all your transgressions by which you have transgressed against Me, and make you a new mind and heart and a new spirit. For why will you die, O house of Israel? 32For I have no pleasure in the death of him who dies, says the Lord God. Therefore turn (be converted) and live!

I know… very sobering thoughts this morning! Yes, it also took me completely off guard too and maybe that was His Purpose at work in me, taking off some blinders… because as I can see for a long, long time the Lord has been very patient with us and has not really judged harshly all the foolishness that has been going on over the past years…. but now… could it be the end of such patience?

 

Ahhhh… we truly need to not just say let's humble ourselves and pray, we need to do it. So the next Presidential Debate, lets pass the word that while it plays out, we pray out… we cry out to God, we beg for forgiveness and we raise up from that prayer turned to fully face the wind of our generation and stand in the visage of that spinning airstream of untruths, deceptions and unreality with God's New Courage and His Renewed Confidence in our hearts, on our lips and through our lives. Yes! Grasp the Mighty Right Hand of God with a heart engaged in His Passion and expending a New Tenacity, His Resolve! A renewed steadfastness that is completely, wholeheartedly Impassioned by God's Spirit by a Bold Righteousness that Glows His Glory in our all in all ! Let's begin to HOPE BIG in the POWER OF ALMIGHTY GOD and stop putting our trust in the casket of human ability! We can't let them take our honesty from us, rationalize our Truth and make it a matter of cultural relevancy instead of Relationship In Obedience To Our God! Are You In? Are You In With The Only One True Voice Of Truth! Listen To Him! He Is The True Message, A Different Story Than The One We Are Hearing Today! Choose To Listen To Jesus! Cast Your Lot In With Him!

Job 6:26-32

Are you trying to correct what I'm saying? You are treating the words of this hopeless man like nothing but wind. 27 You would even cast lots for those whose fathers have died. You would even trade away your closest friend. 28 "But now please look at me. Would I tell you a lie right here in front of you? 29 Stop what you are saying. Don't be so unfair. Think it over again. You are trying to take my honesty away from me. 30 Has my mouth spoken anything that is evil? Do my lips say things that are hateful?"

New International Reader's Version (NIRV) Copyright © 1996, 1998 by International Bible Society

Are You In? Cast Your Lot In With Almighty God!

Psalm 55:20-23

[My companion] has put forth his hands against those who were at peace with him; he has broken and profaned his agreement [of friendship and loyalty]. 21The words of his mouth were smoother than cream or butter, but war was in his heart; his words were softer than oil, yet they were drawn swords. 22Cast your burden on the Lord [releasing the weight of it] and He will sustain you; He will never allow the [consistently] righteous to be moved (made to slip, fall, or fail).(A) 23But You, O God, will bring down the wicked into the pit of destruction; men of blood and treachery shall not live out half their days. But I will trust in, lean on, and confidently rely on You.

I think and I hope that this political funk that this country is in must stop affecting our lives with its discouragement right now! Take Heart, guard Your heart with the Living Truth of God's Word and position yourself squarely aligned with His Grace in a Holy Alliance with His Spirit! No… stop this foolishness that has gone on way too long! Our lives can't be centered around an election where nothing is based on truth or genuine hope, be found head-on in the Presence Of Christ Jesus!

Jesus is saying to us today: "The words of these politicians are just fluff, empty words that enlightened human expectancy without heavenly return!"

Proverbs 16:27-33

Mean people spread mean gossip; their words smart and burn. 28 Troublemakers start fights; gossips break up friendships. 29 Calloused climbers betray their very own friends; they'd stab their own grandmothers in the back. 30 A shifty eye betrays an evil intention; a clenched jaw signals trouble ahead. 31 Gray hair is a mark of distinction, the award for a God-loyal life. 32 Moderation is better than muscle, self-control better than political power. 33 Make your motions and cast your votes, but God has the final say.

The Message (MSG) Copyright © 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 2000, 2001, 2002 by Eugene H. Peterson

Come on! Are You In? We need to get back into living in the reality of spoken words that prove to be 100 percent accurate… God's Words! We need to live out of the center of His will not the dead ended hopes of political speeches full of words that are old news, dull, boring spin of yesterday's made up imaginations!

Proverbs 1:13-15

We shall find and take all kinds of precious goods [when our victims are put out of the way], we shall fill our houses with plunder; 14Throw in your lot with us [they insist] and be a sworn brother and comrade; let us all have one purse in common-- 15My son, do not walk in the way with them; restrain your foot from their path;

Amplified Bible (AMP) Copyright © 1954, 1958, 1962, 1964, 1965, 1987 by The Lockman Foundation

 

God says to you today: "Are You In? Are You In For A Hope That Is True? Throw in your lot with Me! Turn away from the untruths, the spin and do not walk on this path. Return To Me! Walk With Me! Cast Your Lot In With Me? Are You In?"

How many of you are sick to death of "spin"! God is too! His desire is for His Life to be lived out in a renewed American Legacy of His Spirit and Complete Truth! He is the only Solution that leads to a Living Legacy that stands the test of time from here to there unto forever!

Are you In? I am… I am totally In With God! I am In? Are You In? Are You Casting Your Lots In With God's Purposes, God's Intents, God's Hopes, God's Dreams becoming a reality in our Nation, in all our hearts?

 

Are You In? Well… hang on because this is going to be a wild ride because God is about to circumcise the heart of America and cut out the corrupt section, the sick path that dysfunction spin has created and turn this Nation in a new direction of the Fullness of His Spirit And Truth! Are You In? Hang On!!!! Cling Tight To God, Dig Your Roots Deep In His Love! He is about to uproot some things in this world, so make sure your roots are deeply rooted in His Kingdom!! Just Do It! Be Rooted IN With Jesus! Are You In? Do It Now! Just Do It!

 

God Wants To Know: Are You In For The Ride Of Your Life?! He wants you to Believe In Him Completely, Turn Your Eyes On The Horizon Of His Kingdom And Keep Them There Or Else…. You Might Just Get A Bit Sea Sick Because This Is Going To Be A Stormy Ride… Are You In? Then Know…Know… He will finish what He starts… and He WINS!!!!!!!

 

Are You In?

Isaiah 32:19-21

But it [the wrath of the Lord] shall hail, coming down overpoweringly on the forest [the army of the Assyrians], and the capital [a]city shall be utterly humbled and laid prostrate. 20Happy and fortunate are you who cast your seed upon all waters (ARE YOU IN?) [when the river overflows its banks; for the seed will sink into the mud and when the waters subside, the plant will spring up; you will find it after many days and reap an abundant harvest], you who safely send forth the ox and the donkey [to range freely].

Dig Deeper…. Pray Deeper….Live Deeper….Just Do It!!

matthew henry commentary from psalm 58

Matthew Henry Commentary: Psalm 58

Wicked judges described and reproved.

When wrong is done under the form of law, it is worse than any other; especially it is grievous to behold those who profess to be children of God, joining together against any of his people. We should thank the Lord for merciful restraints; we should be more earnest in seeking renewing grace, more watchful over ourselves, and more patient under the effects of fallen nature in others. The corruption of their nature was the root of bitterness. We may see in children the wickedness of the world beginning. They go astray from God and their duty as soon as possibly they can. And how soon will little children tell lies! It is our duty to take pains to teach them, and above all, earnestly to pray for converting grace to make our children new creatures. Though the poison be within, much of it may be kept from breaking forth to injure others. When the Saviour's words are duly regarded, the serpent becomes harmless. But those who refuse to hear heavenly wisdom, must perish miserably, for ever. (Ps 58:6-11)

A prayer that they may be disabled, and their ruin predicted.

David prayed that the enemies of God's church and people might be disabled to do further mischief. We may, in faith, pray against the designs of the enemies of the church. He foretells their ruin. And who knows the power of God's anger? The victories of the Just One, in his own person and that of his servants, over the enemies of man's salvation, produce a joy which springs not from revenge, but from a view of the Divine mercy, justice, and truth, shown in the redemption of the elect, the punishment of the ungodly, and the fulfillment of the promises. Whoever duly considers these things, will diligently seek the reward of righteousness, and adore the Providence which orders all thing aright in heaven and in earth.

Psalm 58

For the director of music. To the tune of "Do Not Destroy." A miktam of David.

Do you rulers really say what is right? Do you judge people fairly? 2 No, in your heart you plan evil; you think up violent crimes in the land. 3 From birth, evil people turn away from God; they wander off and tell lies as soon as they are born. 4 They are like poisonous snakes, like deaf cobras that stop up their ears 5 so they cannot hear the music of the snake charmer no matter how well he plays. 6 God, break the teeth in their mouths! Tear out the fangs of those lions, Lord! 7 Let them disappear like water that flows away. Let them be cut short like a broken arrow. 8 Let them be like snails that melt as they move. Let them be like a child born dead who never saw the sun. 9 His anger will blow them away alive faster than burning thorns can heat a pot. 10 Good people will be glad when they see him get even. They will wash their feet in the blood of the wicked. 11 Then people will say, "There really are rewards for doing what is right. There really is a God who judges the world."

Selah …pause, and calmly think of this!

Psalm 62:5 My soul wait only upon God and silently submit to Him; for my hope and expectation are from Him . Listen…Matthew 11:27 (MSG) "The Father has given me all these things to do and say. This is a unique Father-Son operation, coming out of Father and Son intimacies and knowledge. No one knows the Son the way the Father does, nor the Father the way the Son does. But I'm not keeping it to myself; I'm ready to go over it line by line with anyone willing to listen. Write… Isaiah 30:8 (MSG) 8 So, go now and write all this down. Put it in a book So that the record will be there to instruct the coming generations.

 

Selah!

Psalm 51:10-12

Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right, persevering, and steadfast spirit within me. 11Cast me not away from Your presence and take not Your Holy Spirit from me. 12Restore to me the joy of Your salvation and uphold me with a willing spirit.

Psalm 27:8-10

You have said, Seek My face [inquire for and require My presence as your vital need]. My heart says to You, Your face (Your presence), Lord, will I seek, inquire for, and require [of necessity and on the authority of Your Word]. 9Hide not Your face from me; turn not Your servant away in anger, You Who have been my help! Cast me not off, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation!
