Dear Father in Heaven: I love You and I appreciate all the prayers You answer for all of us. Thanks for going to the cross for us and shedding Your blood for me and others who ask to be saved and covered with Your still flowing blood. Thanks again for this line and I ask that You protect it from evil and attackers. Please always help me to use it to promote You, dear Lord. Please help me now with the message and then please help me to get the message dispatched. Lord, please help us on this day we call Salvation Wednesday to work hard to lead the lost to You. In Jesus' Name, I pray. Amen.
My dearest brothers and sisters, thank you for all your prayers and concerns as we are going through some health issues. I have been cleared for surgery which is to happen this coming Monday at the Holy Spirit Hospital. It is to be outpatient and it is for a hernia. I have several of them but only one is being worked on at this time. I will keep you posted as to how things are going. Today, brothers and sisters, it is Wednesday and as always that means it is Salvation Wednesday on this line and the day we work extra hard to lead in the lost to be saved by our Lord Jesus. The Lord has pointed me to the book of Psalms and I just want to look to see what all this book tells us about Salvation. With that said, let us get started with what I am going to call Psalms of Salvation.
Salvation Wednesday: September 30, 2015: Psalms of Salvation (Day One)
Psalm 9:13 - O Lord, see how my enemies persecute me! Have mercy and lift me up from the gates of death, 14 that I may declare Your praises in the gates of the Daughter of Zion and there rejoice in Your Salvation. (NIV)
How often have you been placed under attack by your enemies and felt like you might be standing near the gates of death? Maybe your enemies might have even been of your own doing, and as an example I will use the over-use of credit cards. Maybe you had a debt load so bad you were thinking the only way out was your own death. You had debt collectors calling you all hours, at work, at home, all the time. Maybe your enemies were more real and maybe they came in a bottle of booze or a handful of pills even those given to you by doctors. You could see no way out, so you did what you know you should have done before. You called upon God and asked Him to have mercy on you and help you so that you might rejoice in His Salvation. Maybe it is one of those times when people say when all else fails, call on God.
Well, Praise God, Praise God, Praise God, for when you call on Him, He will be there ready to help you and then you can rejoice in His Salvation as pointed out in Psalm 9:14.
Psalm 13:5 - But I trust in Your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in Your Salvation. (NIV)
Brothers and sisters, you know His love is unfailing, but do you trust in His unfailing love? Are you really rejoicing in His Salvation? The Salvation that Jesus gave all of us when He died on Calvary? If you are rejoicing in His Salvation, will you just sing this with me right now, knowing each day with Jesus is better than the one before.
Every Day with Jesus (Robert C. and Wendell P. Loveless)
Every day with Jesus is sweeter than the day before.
Every day with Jesus I love Him more and more.
Jesus saves and keeps me and He's the One I'm waiting for.
Every day with Jesus is sweeter than the day before.
Every day with Jesus is sweeter than the day before.
Every day with Jesus I love Him more and more.
Jesus saves and keeps me and He's the One I'm waiting for.
Every day with Jesus is sweeter than the day before.
Well, that was some fine singing. Let us look at another Psalm of Salvation.
Psalm 14:7 - Oh, that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion! When the Lord restores the fortunes of His people, let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad! (NIV)
Are you praying for the people of Israel? Our Jewish brothers and sisters? Brothers and sisters, Israel is our homeland. If you are indeed a Christian, a real follower of Jesus, then you know we must support our homeland, the homeland of our Lord Jesus Christ. Israel is surrounded by their enemies and with our current president we do not know where he stands on supporting Israel. I know I will pray for the Salvation of Israel, my question is will you?
Psalm 18:2 - The Lord is my Rock, my Fortress and my Deliverer, my God is my Rock in whom I take refuge. He is my Shield and the Horn of my Salvation, my Stronghold. (NIV)
Look at all those good names our Lord God, our Lord Jesus is to us. He is our Rock, Fortress, Deliver, God, Shield, Horn, Salvation, and He is our Stronghold.
Out of all those things mentioned in just this one verse, Rock, Fortress, Deliver, God, Shield, Horn, Stronghold, and Salvation, which one is the best of the best? To me Salvation is, for without Salvation, without Jesus going to the cross for us, we would have nothing. Accept the gift today, the free gift of Salvation and then share it with others. Will you sing this one with me and believe it also?
He's all I need, He's all I need.
Jesus is all I need.
He's all I need, He's all I need.
Jesus is all I need.
He's real tome, He's real to me.
Jesus is real to me.
He's real to me, He's real to me.
Jesus is real to me.
He's all I need, He's all I need.
Jesus is all I need.
He's all I need, He's all I need.
Jesus is all I need.
Dear Father in Heaven, you are indeed real to me, because You are real and You are alive. I pray today for the lost and that You would use us who are saved to bring in those lost sheep so that You might save them. Give us the wisdom, knowledge, and understanding to get this job done for You. In Jesus' Name, I give thanks that I am saved and I ask in the Name of Jesus for You to help me leading others. All glory and honor is Yours this and every day. In Jesus' Name, I pray. Amen.
Now go forth and please serve Jesus. Love ya.
Pastor Dan
