Psalm 145 & 146

            "Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom and Thy dominion endureth throughout all generations." Christian life when it is fully developed comes to this state of praising God always. One feels in his heart that this is an everlasting kingdom. He feels that freedom in his heart. No sin rules over him. He feels so secure in God. He feels he is following eternal principles and they give him the security he needs. Psalm 30:4 "Sing unto the Lord, O ye saints of His and give thanks at the remembrance of His holiness."

            Hosea 7:14 "And they have not cried unto me with their heart, when they howled upon their beds, they assemble themselves for corn and wine and they rebel against me." Psalm 145:18. 'The Lord is nigh unto all them that call upon Him, to all that call upon Him in truth." We have to cry to God with all our heart. There is forgiveness with God always. As you search yourself, you see you are in need of prayer. It is not others' sins that matter. If you get right with God, all around you will become right. As you study the Word and dig deep into your nature and allow the divine nature to come into you, you will be free. You belong to an eternal kingdom. The destines of the kingdom are eternally established by the death and resurrection of Jesus. Joseph was a slave but he was free in his heart. Soon he was the highest man in Egypt.

            God will be with you and turn your defeats into victories. Be conscious that you belong to a fallen race. Let His words abide in you. His words will abide in you to the degree you obey them. We are imprisoned in our self. Our self must die at the cross. Then you will be free. Then wherever you go, the powers of darkness will recognise you and say, “Here is a man who has the mark of God on his forehead! He cannot be opposed." People may lord it over you but you are the real master. A clear conscience before God gives you a strong position of confidence in Him. Do not lose this. This confidence does not create pride. It is meek. The Master's nature is seen in your humility. You are the greatest when you are the humblest. You are following the principles of that eternal kingdom. You must build your life in such a way that you are never defeated. Do not swerve in your principles of purity. Don't yield an inch of ground in this area. For a while there may be battles. Fill your heart with heavenly ambition. Proverbs 22:17&18 "Bow down thine ear, and hear the words of the wise and apply thine heart unto my knowledge, for it is a pleasant thing if thou keep them within thee. They shall withal be fitted in thy lips." The Word of God is the counsel of God. It is full of authority. Proverbs 30:5 "Every Word of God is pure, He is a shield unto them that put their trust in Him" When you are constantly filling yourself with the Word of God, there will be harmony in the emotional life within you. True religion will bring harmony within and perfect balance in your emotional life. Do not give up even if it looks as if defeat is imminent. Claim victory. You will get it. You will feel the victory in you. No doubt our nature is sinful. But we bring it before God. When we discover more of it, we still continue to put it before God. When you obtain God's righteousness, you will feel free. When it spontaneously flows out of your life and even through your very eyes, you will enjoy beautiful freedom. When the spirit takes hold of your tongue, you will speak absolutely wonderful things.
