Belshazzar Had God's Stuff

Daniel 5:23-30

"And you have lifted yourself up against the Lord of heaven, and the vessels of His house have been brought before you, and you and your lords, your wives, and your concubines have drunk wine from them; and you have praised the gods of silver and gold, of bronze, iron, wood, and stone, which do not see or hear or know; but the God in Whose hand your breath is and Whose are all your ways you have not honored and glorified [but have dishonored and disgraced].

Then was the part of the hand sent from the presence of [the Most High God], and this writing was inscribed.

And this is theinscription that was written, MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN—numbered, numbered, weighed, divisions.

This is the interpretation of the matter: MENE, God has numbered the days of your kingship and brought them to an end;

TEKEL, You are weighed in the balances and are found wanting;

PERES, Your kingdom and your kingship are divided and given to the Medes and Persians. [Foretold in Isa. 21:2, 5, 9.]

Then Belshazzar commanded, and Daniel was clothed with purple and a chain of gold put about his neck, and a proclamation was made concerning him that he should be the third ruler in the kingdom.

During that night Belshazzar the king of the Chaldeans was slain,"

Belshazzar was using God's Vessels for a party to show off his power over God's People who had been concerned by Nebuchadnezzar his father. 

This caused a "Hand of God, Written Note," on the king's wall....

Daniel, a man of God's, was called, The Holy Spirit spoke the interpretation of what He wrote through him...

That night "The Word of Lord," came to pass....

Fellow Bondsman

Philemon 1:16-25

"Not as a slave any longer but as [something] more than a slave, as a brother [Christian], especially dear to me but how much more to you, both in the flesh [as a servant] and in the Lord [as a fellow believer].

If then you consider me a partner and acomrade in fellowship, welcome and receive him as you would [welcome and receive] me.

And if he has done you any wrong in any way or owes anything [to you], charge that to my account.

I, Paul, write it with my own hand, I promise to repay it [in full]—and that is to say nothing [of the fact] that you owe me your very self!

Yes, brother, let me have some profit from you in the Lord. Cheer and refresh my heart in Christ.

I write to you [perfectly] confident of your obedient compliance, knowing that you will do even more than I ask.

At the same time prepare a guest room [in expectation of extending your hospitality] to me, for I am hoping through your prayers to be granted [the gracious privilege of coming] to you.

Greetings to you from Epaphras, my fellow prisoner here in [the cause of] Christ Jesus (the Messiah),

And [from] Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, my fellow workers.

The grace (blessing and favor) of the Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah) be with your spirit. Amen (so be it)."

I love the sound of this part of Paul's letter to his brother in Jesus...

Paul is writing a letter to smooth over the feelings of Philemon about his slave who was captured and put in the stock yard with Paul while he was in jail for the sake of the gospel of Christ Jesus. The need for this new convert was great... The knowledge of his Being now even more valuable to him in that he can now join in the army of faithful to Jesus' Work

And to their work in His Name!

"Who do you value in This Army of Faith?"

Which Is Better To Rule Over You

Judges 9:1-14

Judges 9

"NOW ABIMELECH son of Jerubbaal (Gideon) went to Shechem to his mother’s kinsmen and said to them and to the whole clan of his mother’s family,

Say, I pray you, in the hearing of all the men of Shechem, Which is better for you: that all seventy of the sons of Jerubbaal reign over you, or that one man rule over you? Remember also that I am your bone and your flesh.

And his mother’s kinsmen spoke all these words concerning him in the hearing of all the men of Shechem, and their hearts inclined to follow Abimelech, for they said, He is our brother.

And they gave him seventy pieces of silver out of the house of Baal-berith, with which Abimelech hired worthless and foolhardy men who followed him.

And he went to his father’s house at Ophrah and slew his brothers the sons of Jerubbaal, seventy men, on one stone. But Jotham, the youngest son of Jerubbaal, was left, for he hid himself.

And all the men of Shechem gathered together and all of Beth-millo, and they went and made Abimelech king by the oak (terebinth) of the pillar at Shechem.

When it was told to Jotham, he went and stood at the top of Mount Gerizim and shouted to them, Hear me, men of Shechem, that God may hear you.

One time the trees went forth to anoint a king over them, and they said to the olive tree, Reign over us.

But the olive tree said to them, Should I leave my fatness, by which God and man are honored, and go to wave over the trees?

Then the trees said to the fig tree, You come and reign over us.

But the fig tree said to them, Should I leave my sweetness and my good fruit and go to wave over the trees?

Then the trees said to the vine (grapevine), You come and reign over us.

And the vine (grapevine) replied, Should I leave my new wine, which rejoices God and man, and go to wave over the trees?

Then all the trees said to the bramble, You come and reign over us."

Soon Jesus Is Coming to get me.... I can't speak for anyone but myself, in I know where my alleged heart of thoughts lie... We, are all called to rule over our own spirits... When we do team things for Jesus Name, that He has asked for us to do for His Sake, then we are the responsible one to obey....

This story ran amuke, because one guy wanted power over all...

He Has Purified Me

Titus 2:10-15

"Nor to steal by taking things of small value, but to prove themselves truly loyal and entirely reliable and faithful throughout, so that in everything they may be an ornament and do credit to the teaching [which is] from and about God our Savior.

For the grace of God (His unmerited favor and blessing) has come forward (appeared) for the deliverance from sin and the eternal salvation for all mankind.

It has trained us to reject and renounce all ungodliness (irreligion) and worldly (passionate) desires, to live discreet (temperate, self-controlled), upright, devout (spiritually whole) lives in this present world,

Awaiting and looking for the [fulfillment, the realization of our] blessed hope, even the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Christ Jesus (the Messiah, the Anointed One),

Who gave Himself on our behalf that He might redeem us (purchase our freedom) from all iniquity and purify for Himself a people [to be peculiarly His own, people who are] eager and enthusiastic about [living a life that is good and filled with] beneficial deeds.

Tell [them all] these things. Urge (advise, encourage, warn) and rebuke with full authority. Let no one despise or disregard or think little of you [conduct yourself and your teaching so as to command respect]."

He has purified me, He has purchased me from all iniquity, and has made me to be a peculiar person of Great Interest to Him...

Because of The Blood of Jesus running throughout my life, He has groomed me into a teaching machine.

So has He "You," If you have given Him your all...

What is your All:

1.) spirit =Holy Spirit has quickened and tabernacles there

2.) soul = and includes 3)will, 4)intelligence, 5)imagination, 6)emotional 

7.) body-brain functions 

7 ways He will lead you by His Word/Faith/Righteousness 

And scattering ALL your enemies in those listed above...

Who Is Speaking Against You

Romans 8:33-34

"Who shall bring any charge against God’s elect [when it is] God Who justifies [that is, Who puts us in right relation to Himself? Who shall come forward and accuse or impeach those whom God has chosen? Will God, Who acquits us?]

Who is there to condemn [us]? Will Christ Jesus (the Messiah), Who died, or rather Who was raised from the dead, Who is at the right hand of God actually pleading as He intercedes for us?"

Jesus is Asking for things for us to our Father...

We are Asking The Father for things In Jesus' Name...

The Father Says in His Word; "Romans 8:32

He who did not withhold or spare [even] His own Son but gave Him up for us all, will He not also with Him freely and graciously give us all [other] things?"

He is Wanting to give us, with Jesus,  "All Things."

I am Asking The Father In The Name Of Jesus For;....

Covered You With My Skirt

Ezekiel 16:8

"Now I passed by you again and looked upon you; behold, you were maturing and at the time for love, and I spread My skirt over you and covered your nakedness. Yes, I plighted My troth to you and entered into a covenant with you, says the Lord, and you became Mine."

A prophetic Word Jesus spoke to Israel in the day of Ezekiel was to deliver Her from dying at Birth... She was not tended to, and was still there in blood. But, The Lord noticed Her passed by and Said to Her blood, Live!

Then She Matured lovely... He Passed By again...

He covers Her With His Skirt... Makes A Covenant...

He Covers Us With His Eternal Royalty now by His Blood...

David's Last Standing Words

2 Samuel 23:1-7

"NOW THESE are the last words of David: David son of Jesse says, and the man who was raised on high, the anointed of the God of Jacob, and the sweet psalmist of Israel, says,

The Spirit of the Lord spoke in and by me, and His word was upon my tongue.

The God of Israel spoke, the Rock of Israel said to me, When one rules over men righteously, ruling in the fear of God,

He dawns on them like the morning light when the sun rises on a cloudless morning, when the tender grass springs out of the earth through clear shining after rain.

Truly does not my house stand so with God? For He has made with me an everlasting covenant, ordered in all things, and sure. For will He not cause to prosper all my help and my desire?

But wicked, godless, and worthless lives are all like thorns to be thrust away, because they cannot be taken with the hand.

But the man who touches them arms himself with iron and the shaft of a spear, and they are utterly consumed with fire on the spot."

King David of the tribe of Judah, son of Jesse, King over all the nation of Abraham, and the anointed sweet psalmist.

He said that The Spirit speaks by him, His Words are on his tongue, and The God of all Israel has spoken to him...

"When one rules justly over men, ruling in the fear of the Lord God, He dawns on them like the morning light, like a shining sun with no clouds involved.... Just like rain which gives the grass prosperity.

His Face I Seek

Psalms 27:8

"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]."

The authority we have of His Word, Name and Blood, has been given by the dead, burial and resurrection of Christ Jesus. He Said; "Seek Me, I Am Now Living and want to live Inside you! You Will find Me In My Word, By My Spirit Alive! Ask For Me and My Father Will give you Me!

God Will Bless

Psalms 41:2

"The Lord will protect him and keep him alive; he shall be called blessed in the land; and You will not deliver him to the will of his enemies."

The Said; "He Will Protect me!"

He Said; "I would be Called Paula Blessed!"

He Said; "He Would Not let my enemy's will make Him turn me over to them..."
