The "Ark" of Today

King David had a passion to retrieve the Ark of the Covenant which represented the very presence and power of God. On they way back King David took the ark to a man named Obed-Edom. The Ark of the Covenant for us today is the Holy Ghost which is the presence and power of the living God Jesus Christ. Let's look at what happen to Obed-Edom when the ark was at his house. The ark changed Obed-Edom home life. His house and all that was in it was blessed. It changed his priorities. When King David came back for the Ark Obed-Edom could not part from it. He became whatever the ark needed. He was a singer, doorkeeper, minister before the ark and gatekeeper. Also, since Obed-Edom was willing to do whatever and be faithful the bible says he had 62 descendants follow his footsteps.

The power and presence of God resides in our hearts today through the Holy Ghost. Just as Obed-Edom we can have our home lives change. Our house and all that is in it will be blessed. Our priorities will be changed if we allow the Holy Ghost lead us. We are the singers, doorkeepers, ministers, and gatekeepers of the POWER AND PRESENCE of the living God Jesus Christ. You might be the only one in your family, your job, and your community that is willing to become whatever the "ark" needs today. The bible says that the Holy Ghost will lead you into ALL truth.

Make a vow to be a Obed-Edom of today!!! And watch people follow!!!

People of Praise

Praise Elevates us into the Lord's presence and power. Remember Paul and Silas who was beaten and threw into prison for doing the Lord's work. The bible tells us at midnight they began to pray and sing praises unto the Lord. The result of them doing this was A POWERFUL MOVE OF GOD. In fact it was describe as a earthquake that shook the foundations of the prison. Paul and Silas knew the secret of how to lift their hearts above the troubles at hand. They enter into the presence and power of God by praise and worship. Psalms 22:3 tells us that God inhabits the praises of his people. He dwells in the atmosphere of His praise. Remember child of God that praise is the "gate-pass" which allows you and I access to the sacredness of His glory. The psalmist wrote " Enter into his gates with thanksgiving and into his courts with praise."

If we stay a people of praise we will see great benefits from our pursuit of praise.

1. It will change our lifestyle

2. It will send the enemy running

3. See many "earthquakes" in our life

4. "Midnight" will not scare us

The Mighty Sword

Ephesians 6:17 " And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God."

The sword of the Spirit is a mighty weapon in spiritual warfare. Child of God remember that the Word of God is powerful and strong and is available to us everyday. In fact the bible describes the Word of God as QUICK, POWERFUL and sharper than any two-edged sword. Cutting into the soul and spirit of a man. David said I have hid thy word in my heart. We need to keep the Word in us through the power of the HOLY GHOST! War has been declared upon our souls from our enemy. We have been called to be warriors. The only way to fight is to "STAND" for what is RIGHT AND HOLY. We cannot win this battle for our soul by accident. No man has ever been HOLY by chance. We do not have the order to be quiet and take matters easy but rather to pray always and watch constantly. Remember the enemy is like a roaring lion seeking whom he may defeat. Defeat, must not be an option for us. TAKE THE SWORD! TAKE THE SWORD! TAKE THE SWORD! The captain's voice is saying TAKE THE SWORD AND USE IT! Let the Word of God come forth in this generation. Child of God use the weapon the Lord has given you TODAY!
