Or:  “Help me get this beam out of my eye!”

I am a Right Wing, Spirit Filled, Conservative Christian.  I have spent the last 5 years in a church that loves the Lord but doesn’t believe the things of the Spirit are  for today.

They believe :
“Jesus died for me, saved me from eternal hell fire, but lied about the Gifts of the Spirit,  Signs, Wonders and Miracles being for me.”

Why do they believe this instead of what the Bible clearly states?   
What they have been taught, seen and heard all their lives.  PERSONAL EXPERIENCE.

mightily grew the word of God: The Fix-it Shop-Filling Station

Acts 19:20
“So mightily grew the word of God and prevailed.”

Is the Word growing mightily in you?  Is the Word truth?  Is the Word winning the fight between the Carnal and Spiritual man within?

In my life the Carnal man gets the victory all too often.   Why?

My Carnal man lacks nothing,  I supply almost all it desires and deny  it very few pleasures.  It is the side of me I am concerned about, pay attention to, I treat it like a crying baby.

Meanwhile my Spiritual man is starving.  I go to church once a week, I don’t read the Bible regularly.   I only pray when in crisis and wonder why my prayers only reach the ceiling.

The problem is not God or His Word.

It is the lack of both,  that allowed the Carnal man to control and  lead me astray.

The Word  can grow mightily and prevail. 

It will when I feed it, love it and watch over it .

Psalm 84:11-12

King James Version (KJV)

” For the Lord God is a sun and shield: the Lord will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.  O Lord of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.”

The final phrase:

“O Lord of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.”

     》O Lord of Hosts:
He is no longer telling us who and what the Lord God is and does.  Now he is speaking  to the Lord Himself.  Letting Him know that the Psalmist recognized the blessings of God, that are available to those who trust Him.

     》Blessed is the man:
Blessed,  happy, fortunate, to be envied is the man, the individual, that knows the Lord enough to trust Him.

     》Trusteth in Thee:
O Lord,  that we would learn to trust, to rest in You, to believe You are and You are a rewarder of them that diligently seek You.

Lord, I thank You for Your Blessings,  Your provision, Your Mercy and Grace.

A Sun and Shield: Psalm 84:11-12 – 3 -The Fix-it Shop-Filling Station

Psalm 84:11-12
King James Version (KJV)
“For the Lord God is a sun and shield: the Lord will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.  O Lord of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.”

The Lord God IS:

I believe this to be  one of the biggest stumbling blocks, we have as the body of Christ.  We Believe the Power, Salvation, Sanctification, Word of Christ,  was and will be but isn’t for today.

When we learn and sing a song like this, we encourage ourselves in the Lord,  we become stronger as we sing of His Glory.

Today let’s look at :

“no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.”

     》No good thing:
Is there a definition of Good Things?

Philippians 4:8
“Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.”

I believe good things are those things that cause us to seek a closer walk with God.

Psalm 34:10
“The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the Lord shall not want any good thing.”

Psalm 92:1 (another great song of prsise)
“It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord, and to sing praises unto thy name, O Most High:”

Romans 7:18
“For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not”

Some may think getting a big blessing of money would be wonderful,  and it would, if we could handle the money correctly.   Would you?

We  inherited, for us a good sum of money,  it only took us ten years to fritter it away, did we invest, nope,  spent on daily needs and desires.

It could have been a wonderful blessing, longterm.    Instead it is gone.  

We should be looking for Spiritual blessings, instead of worldly.  Good things for eternity.   That Iines up with the rest of this thought.

“no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.”

     》from them that walk uprightly.

Always a catch, I love you, you must love Me.  How do we do that?  By walking uprightly,  in Him, in His Yoke.  Doing His will and touching those He has chosen.

Do not cast your Pearls before swine, but be ready to share Gods love as He directs.  Sometimes a single word, of His, will bring results where our Words sounded hollow,  empty.

We must be instant in season and out, ready to explain our love and trust.

King James Version (KJV)
“For the Lord God is a sun and shield: the Lord will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.  O Lord of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.”

One of my favorite songs and Psalms.   Lively, upbeat, hopeful, the Word. Truth, for today.

Do you believe it?  Today let’s look at what the Lord has promised us.

“the Lord will give grace and glory:”

A Sun and Shield: Psalm 84.11,12-1 – The Fix-it Shop-Filling Station

“For the Lord God is a sun and shield: the Lord will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.   O Lord of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.”     Psalm 84:11-12

This scripture  has been my recurring song of  praise the last few months. 

Such a promise, a beautiful tune…it tells what God is, what the Lord gives, His promise of all good things to those who walk uprightly, (in His ways).  He blesses those who trust in Him.
