Calvary Chapel Deming

Today… God’s design for us is to focus on today. If you will hear His voice It is interesting that God does not say “if you hear”, but “if you will hear”. God is speaking, God will speak…if you will hear. Do not harden your hearts…in sin …don’t let sin harden your heart!

Please Obey the Voice of the LORD! Sadly, knowing and doing, are not the same thing. King Zedekiah knew the LORD made our souls…yet he failed to follow and listen to God. Please Obey the Voice of the LORD…it is for our good, it is where our soul finds life… Trust and Obey

Set your heart to seek the LORD - that is always good advice - always! - in confusing situations - such seeking can guide your steps Set your heart to seek the Lord And let that take your feet where it may 2 Chronicles 11:16

Worship is meant to be prophetic! That is that worship is meant to declare, proclaim, consider and exalt the truth, God’s Word. Worship is not primarily an emotional thing or a feely thing…it is meant to be truth proclaimed and celebrated. 1 Chronicles 25:3 Colossians 3:16

Hard lesson-the Right Thing done the Wrong Way is Wrong David wants to do the right thing - to have God’s presence at the center of life! David does this unanimously, enthusiastically, unbiblically It goes badly, God disciplines The right thing, done the wrong way…is wrong

As we find our days racing towards the end… The Wise Understand and are being purified in these difficult times, made white and refined. The Wicked do not Understand and just continue to do wickedly. O LORD….I want to be found among th Wise

Resolved to serve God! I serve God I do not serve the false gods of this world I will not, by God’s help and enabling grace Daniel 3:17-18 ….our God whom we serve is able to deliver us… let it be known to you, O king, that we do not serve your gods, nor will we worship….

The Church…is God’s, it is His house He is alive and well His church is a pillar of truth in a world of lies. So God gets to tell us how to conduct ourselves in His church! So, straight up, I am thrilled with the Southern Baptist convention’s upholding this yesterday!

The LORD is there! The key theme has been: that they might know that the LORD is God. Thus, in this final phrase found in this book, we look forward to eternity with God...and the best thing of everything that we can look forward to is this...The LORD is there!

Life grows wherever the river flows This powerful, life-giving river in Ezekiel is a prophetic promise that is yet to come! Yet, it also forms a picture for me of God’s blessing, the Work of the Spirit of God in our lives O God, bring me into this life - abundant life in You

Pay attention...sometimes, we need God to tell us that...how easily distracted we can be…I can be. Lord help us...help me... To look with my eyes... To hear with my ears... To fix my mind and focus... To hear what God would say and show me that I can live by it and declare it.

Can these live? God alone knows what He has for us… God alone can breath life into what He has for us… O LORD God…what You know You have for us…will You cause Your breathe to breathe life into it! Ezekiel 37:3-5
