On GLORIFYING GOD

Psalm 29:2

King James Version

2 Give unto the Lord the glory due unto his name; 

worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness.

The HOLY SPIRIT gave me the beautiful verse above the other day.

We ended our article,  "The LORD's VOICE", with it. 

But today, we give full honor to this same verse.

It almost created this article, all on its own.

Simply, it tells us how to glorify GOD:

"worship the Lord 

in the beauty of holiness".

And there's more.

The whole Bible expounds on it.

Today, SPIRIT directed me to these particular verses --

The BEST example is from His Son, JESUS:

John 12:44-45

King James Version

44 Jesus cried and said, 

He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, 

but on him that sent me.

45 And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me.

John 12:48-50

King James Version

48 He that rejecteth me, 

and receiveth not my words, 

hath one that judgeth him: 

the word that I have spoken, 

the same shall judge him in the last day.

49 For I have not spoken of myself; 

but the Father which sent me, 

he gave me a commandment, 

what I should say, and what I should speak.

50 And I know that his commandment 

is life everlasting: 

whatsoever I speak therefore, 

even as the Father said unto me, 

so I speak.

John 15:8

King James Version

8 Herein is my Father glorified, 

that ye bear much fruit; 

so shall ye be my disciples.

John 17:1-3

King James Version

17 These words spake Jesus, 

and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, 

Father, the hour is come; 

glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee:

2 As thou hast given him power over all flesh, 

that he should give eternal life 

to as many as thou hast given him.

3 And this is life eternal, 

that they might know thee the only true God, 

and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.

John 17:4

King James Version

4 I have glorified thee on the earth: 

I have finished the work 

which thou gavest me to do.

John 17:6-7

King James Version

6 I have manifested thy name 

unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: 

thine they were, and thou gavest them me; 

and they have kept thy word.

7 Now they have known that all things 

whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee.

John 17:8

King James Version

8 For I have given unto them the words 

which thou gavest me; 

and they have received them, 

and have known surely that I came out from thee, 

and they have believed that thou didst send me.

John 17:9

King James Version

9 I pray for them: 

I pray not for the world, 

but for them which thou hast given me; 

for they are thine.

John 17:12

King James Version

12 While I was with them in the world, 

I kept them in thy name: 

those that thou gavest me I have kept, 

and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; 

that the scripture might be fulfilled.

John 17:14

King James Version

14 I have given them thy word; 

and the world hath hated them, 

because they are not of the world, 

even as I am not of the world.

John 17:22

King James Version

22 And the glory 

which thou gavest me 

I have given them; 

that they may be one, 

even as we are one:

John 17:24

King James Version

24 Father, I will that they also, 

whom thou hast given me, 

be with me where I am; 

that they may behold my glory, 

which thou hast given me: 

for thou lovedst me 

before the foundation of the world.

John 17:26

King James Version

26 And I have declared unto them thy name, 

and will declare it: 

that the love wherewith thou hast loved me 

may be in them, and I in them.

Apostle Paul tells us how to glorify GOD, too:

1 Corinthians 10:31-32

King James Version

31 Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, 

or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.

32 Give none offence, neither to the Jews, 

nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God:

King David wrote a whole psalm:

Psalm 96

King James Version

96 O sing unto the Lord a new song: 

sing unto the Lord, all the earth.

2 Sing unto the Lord, bless his name; 

shew forth his salvation from day to day.

3 Declare his glory among the heathen, 

his wonders among all people.

4 For the Lord is great, and greatly to be praised: 

he is to be feared above all gods.

5 For all the gods of the nations are idols: 

but the Lord made the heavens.

6 Honour and majesty are before him: 

strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.

7 Give unto the Lord, O ye kindreds of the people, 

give unto the Lord glory and strength.

8 Give unto the Lord the glory due unto his name: 

bring an offering, and come into his courts.

9 O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness: 

fear before him, all the earth.

10 Say among the heathen that the Lord reigneth: 

the world also shall be established 

that it shall not be moved: 

he shall judge the people righteously.

11 Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; 

let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof.

12 Let the field be joyful, and all that is therein: 

then shall all the trees of the wood rejoice

13 Before the Lord: for he cometh, 

for he cometh to judge the earth: 

he shall judge the world with righteousness, 

and the people with his truth.

Now you see why we need to be "born of the Spirit".

We need GOD's SPIRIT to teach us.

How to know Him -- through Scripture, and JESUS.

Only through SPIRIT can we know what pleases GOD.

And the LORD JESUS showed us how.

Pray to be born of water, and of the SPIRIT.

John 3:5-8

King James Version

5 Jesus answered, 

Verily, verily, I say unto thee, 

Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, 

he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; 

and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, 

Ye must be born again.

8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, 

and thou hearest the sound thereof, 

but canst not tell whence it cometh, 

and whither it goeth: so is every one 

that is born of the Spirit.

BEING on TRACK

 The LORD GOD commanded:

Exodus 20:3

King James Version

3 Thou shalt have no other gods 

before me.

GOD was clear.

We are not to worship other gods.

But why is that so hard for others to accept?

Hasn't GOD shown enough of His love, through JESUS?

What makes man so unfaithful to our LORD?

Why is man swayed to worship other gods?

Especially the gods of gold, silver, and self.

Causing many of us to sin, stumble, and perish.

It is actually a puzzle to me, all this disobedience in man.

The hardness of the heart, the stubbornness of the soul.

The wily will, the rebellious reasoning, the envious ego.

When GOD made me born again, I made that 180-degree turn.

There was no question about following GOD, totally.

In complete love, joy, and faithfulness.

Aiming to learn all about His laws.

Dedicating each day to Him.

The next step was purging my heart, home, and work, of all things not of GOD.

Then I turned to JESUS, the Bible, and SPIRIT.

All HOLY Three started teaching me what pleases GOD.

In the same manner, I got to know what displeases GOD.

It just follows, I turned away from things that displeased Him.

This approach is almost childlike in its simplicity.

Why would I want the LORD to grieve, unnecessarily?

Now that I know His laws, why would I want to sin again?

JESUS already offered His life, for us.

Hebrews 10:26

King James Version

26 For if we sin wilfully 

after that we have received 

the knowledge of the truth, 

there remaineth no more sacrifice 

for sins,

SPIRIT keeps me on track.

He is MASTER TEACHER.

The One JESUS prayed for.

To guide us each day.

Until He returns.

Without SPIRIT, I wouldn't understand the Bible at all.

It is SPIRIT that makes things clear, simple, and easy for me.

I value His presence each moment, so I don't stray.

And it's so delightful being taught Scripture by SPIRIT.

He opens so many doors each time I inquire.

He knows when your heart is true.

He will give you TONS of answers.

Which only Scripture can provide.

Scripture holds GOD's laws, and commands.

It is SPIRIT Who makes things plain.

It's a wonderful way to live -- by the Bible.

You know your purpose.

And destiny.

The Bible tells us everything we need to know about GOD.

Everything about JESUS, repentance, and salvation.

Everything about prophecies, the Rapture, and Tribulation.

Everything about prophets, apostles, and disciples.

Everything about being born again.

Everything about the New Jerusalem.

All our blogs tell you more.

For the hungry soul, the BREAD of LIFE that is JESUS, will fill our hearts with His TRUTH.

For the thirsty spirit, the LIVING WATERS that is GOD, will make us thirst no more.

For the confused mind, the CHRIST MIND clarifies everything.

It is easy being on track, through SPIRIT.

He gives you discipline, order, heart, awareness, and gratitude.

He organizes your life, work, and Scripture studies.

He teaches you to love, as JESUS did.

He teaches you awareness, for the LORD's commands.

He teaches you gratitude, for GOD's love, mercy, and kindness.

All make sense when you are with SPIRIT.

Even as He actually lives in you -- as a child of GOD.

SPIRIT and I walk together.

And this is what happens:

Galatians 5:16-18

King James Version

16 This I say then, 

Walk in the Spirit, 

and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.

17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, 

and the Spirit against the flesh: 

and these are contrary the one to the other: 

so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.

18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, 

ye are not under the law.

Galatians 5:22-23

King James Version

22 But the fruit of the Spirit 

is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, 

gentleness, goodness, faith,

23 Meekness, temperance: 

against such there is no law.

Galatians 5:24-26

King James Version

24 And they that are Christ's have crucified 

the flesh with the affections and lusts.

25 If we live in the Spirit, 

let us also walk in the Spirit.

26 Let us not be desirous of vain glory, 

provoking one another, envying one another.

Make that choice now.

To belong to JESUS.

To be taught by SPIRIT.

And to really know GOD, through Both.

The Rapture awaits the saved.

Eternal life awaits the believer.

The choice is really pretty easy.

The VERSES that SHAPED my WORK

 

JESUS said:

Matthew 5:6

King James Version

6 Blessed are they which do 

hunger and thirst after righteousness: 

for they shall be filled.

If there's something we remember, it's how we all started working.

What changed our life.

What got us in the right path.

What gave us peace, love, and joy.

What gave us true knowledge.

What gave us real work.

And for no pay.

I remember mine.

The day GOD made me born again.

And opened Scripture to me.

Letting His SPIRIT teach me easily.

To this day -- four years after -- I remark at how easy it all was.

Maybe because I was in need of truth.

And truly hungered for it.

Plus, I was always childlike with GOD.

I'd speak to Him, as a daughter would.

With no fear, but only a great desire to learn.

And to know His truth.

And yet, I always take great care I understood precisely.

And gave the reverence due GOD.

But here's how it all began.

Starting with these THREE sets of verses.

Which SPIRIT led me to, along the way.

Ringing a bell loudly in my heart:

John 3:30-35

King James Version

30 He must increase, 

but I must decrease.

Mark 10:18

King James Version

18 And Jesus said unto him, 

Why callest thou me good? 

there is none good but one, 

that is, God.

Matthew 23:8-12

King James Version

8 But be not ye called Rabbi: 

for one is your Master, even Christ; 

and all ye are brethren.

9 And call no man your father upon the earth: 

for one is your Father, which is in heaven.

10 Neither be ye called masters: 

for one is your Master, even Christ.

11 But he that is greatest among you 

shall be your servant.

12 And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; 

and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.

These verses were EXACTLY what I needed to know.

And GOD gave it early on.

Serving as foundation for the work He wanted me to do.

Zeroing in on GOD's truth -- which the world hides from you.

Just three sets of powerful, revealing verses.

And GOD gave them to this persistent child.

After that, all came easily.

Judging by the volume of blogs SPIRIT and I wrote.

And 91 blogs were born, as of this writing.

I couldn't stop.

And wouldn't want to.

We need to get GOD's WORD out to you.

For these are urgent times.

10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: 

for the Spirit searcheth all things, 

yea, the deep things of God.

Right from the start -- the day GOD made me born again 27 months ago -- the HOLY SPIRIT had been teaching me.

He is a GIFT from GOD, prayed for by JESUS, and I am most grateful for His Presence.

SPIRIT, through SCRIPTURE, taught me these things:

1 Corinthians 12:3

King James Version

according to the scriptures:

King James Version

He taught me why the BIBLE matters.

2 Timothy 3:16-17

King James Version

thoroughly furnished unto all good works.

He taught me that JESUS baptizes us with SPIRIT and with FIRE.

Matthew 3:11

King James Version

11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance.

and with fire:

He taught me to serve the LIVING GOD.

Hebrews 9:14

King James Version

5 Not that we are sufficient of ourselves 

to think any thing as of ourselves;

not of the letter, 

but of the spirit: 

for the letter killeth, 

but the spirit giveth life.

He taught me that the SPIRIT of GOD LIVES in me.

1 Corinthians 3:16-17

King James Version

which temple ye are.

Ye must be born again.

He taught me how to LIVE as CHRIST would.

John 16:7-11

King James Version

7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; 

It is expedient for you that I go away: 

for if I go not away, 

the Comforter will not come unto you; 

but if I depart, 

I will send him unto you.

8 And when he is come, 

he will reprove the world of sin, 

and of righteousness, 

and of judgment:

9 Of sin, 

because they believe not on me;

10 Of righteousness, 

because I go to my Father, 

and ye see me no more;

11 Of judgment, 

because the prince of this world is judged.

He taught me THINGS to COME.

John 16:13

King James Version

13 Howbeit when he, 

the Spirit of truth, 

is come, 

he will guide you into all truth: 

for he shall not speak of himself;

that shall he speak: 

and he will shew you things to come.

He taught me what is to come in the LATTER DAYS.

1 Timothy 4:1-2

King James Version

4 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, 

that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, 

giving heed to seducing spirits, 

and doctrines of devils;

having their conscience seared with a hot iron;

He taught me that ALL GLORY BELONGS to GOD alone.

John 16:14-15

King James Version

14 He shall glorify me: 

for he shall receive of mine,

that he shall take of mine, 

and shall shew it unto you.

He taught me the UNFORGIVABLE SIN.

Mark 3:28-29

King James Version

28 Verily I say unto you, 

All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, 

and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme:

29 But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost 

hath never forgiveness, 

but is in danger of eternal damnation.

Matthew 12:31-32

King James Version

31 Wherefore I say unto you, 

All manner of sin and blasphemy 

shall be forgiven unto men: 

but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost 

shall not be forgiven unto men.

32 And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, 

it shall be forgiven him: 

but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, 

it shall not be forgiven him, 

neither in this world, 

neither in the world to come.

He taught me WHAT that UNFORGIVABLE SIN was.

Mark 3:30

King James Version

30 Because they said, 

He hath an unclean spirit.

P.S. It was with great difficulty I tried sharing the verses, ESPECIALLY on the "LATTER DAYS", and the "UNFORGIVABLE SIN".

It is very early in the morning, and the enemy tries to hinder my writing this article, with technical difficulties, and all.

But GOD ALWAYS WINS.

Romans 8:31

King James Version

31 What shall we then say to these things? 

If God be for us, 

who can be against us?

JESUS has already CONQUERED.

John 19:28-30

King James Version

28 After this, 

Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, 

that the scripture might be fulfilled, 

saith, 

I thirst.

29 Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: 

and they filled a spunge with vinegar, 

and put it upon hyssop, 

and put it to his mouth.

30 When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, 

he said, 

It is finished: 

and he bowed his head, 

and gave up the ghost.

John 16:33

King James Version

33 These things I have spoken unto you, 

that in me ye might have peace. 

In the world ye shall have tribulation: 

but be of good cheer; 

I have overcome the world.

Romans 8:26

King James Version

26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: 

for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: 

but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us 

with groanings which cannot be uttered.

Does the HOLY SPIRIT of GOD speak?

For sure!

When the LORD JESUS ascended back to heaven, He promised us a COMFORTER, who will "reprove" the world of sin.

To "reprove" means to reprimand, or to censure someone.

John 16:7-11

King James Version

7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; 

It is expedient for you that I go away: 

for if I go not away, 

the Comforter will not come unto you; 

but if I depart, 

I will send him unto you.

8 And when he is come, 

he will reprove the world of sin,

 and of righteousness, 

and of judgment:

9 Of sin, 

because they believe not on me;

10 Of righteousness, 

because I go to my Father, 

and ye see me no more;

11 Of judgment, 

because the prince of this world is judged.

The HOLY SPIRIT will not speak of Himself, according to JESUS.

13 Howbeit when he, 

the Spirit of truth,

he will guide you into all truth: 

for he shall not speak of himself; 

but whatsoever he shall hear, 

that shall he speak: 

and he will shew you things to come.

When the HOLY SPIRIT descended upon JESUS, GOD spoke:

Luke 3:21-22

King James Version

21 Now when all the people were baptized, 

it came to pass, 

that Jesus also being baptized, 

and praying, 

the heaven was opened,

22 And the Holy Ghost descended 

in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, 

and a voice came from heaven, 

which said, 

Thou art my beloved Son; 

in thee I am well pleased.

The Bible has more such proof that the HOLY SPIRIT speaks.

Whether by Himself, or THROUGH us.

Marvel at these:

Joel 2:28-29

King James Version

28 And it shall come to pass afterward, 

that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; 

and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, 

your old men shall dream dreams, 

your young men shall see visions:

29 And also upon the servants 

and upon the handmaids in those days 

will I pour out my spirit.

Hebrews 3:6-8

King James Version

6 But Christ as a son over his own house; 

whose house are we, 

if we hold fast the confidence 

and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.

7 Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, 

To day if ye will hear his voice,

8 Harden not your hearts, 

as in the provocation, 

in the day of temptation in the wilderness:

1 Corinthians 14:21

King James Version

21 In the law it is written, 

With men of other tongues and other lips 

will I speak unto this people; 

and yet for all that will they not hear me, 

saith the Lord.

That Corinthians verse above came from this Isaiah proclamation.

Isaiah 28:9-12

King James Version

9 Whom shall he teach knowledge? 

and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? 

them that are weaned from the milk, 

and drawn from the breasts.

10 For precept must be upon precept, 

precept upon precept; 

line upon line, 

line upon line; 

here a little, 

and there a little:

11 For with stammering lips 

and another tongue will he speak to this people.

12 To whom he said, 

This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; 

and this is the refreshing: 

yet they would not hear.

Acts 2:1-4

King James Version

2 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, 

they were all with one accord in one place.

2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven 

as of a rushing mighty wind, 

and it filled all the house where they were sitting.

3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, 

and it sat upon each of them.

4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, 

and began to speak with other tongues, 

as the Spirit gave them utterance.

Acts 2:38-39

King James Version

38 Then Peter said unto them, 

Repent, 

and be baptized every one of you 

in the name of Jesus Christ 

for the remission of sins, 

and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

39 For the promise is unto you, 

and to your children, 

and to all that are afar off, 

even as many as the Lord our God shall call.

Acts 10:44-46

King James Version

44 While Peter yet spake these words, 

the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.

45 And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, 

as many as came with Peter, 

because that on the Gentiles also 

was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost.

46 For they heard them speak with tongues, 

and magnify God. 

Then answered Peter,

Acts 13:2-4

King James Version

2 As they ministered to the Lord, 

and fasted, 

the Holy Ghost said, 

Separate me Barnabas and Saul 

for the work whereunto I have called them.

3 And when they had fasted and prayed, 

and laid their hands on them, 

they sent them away.

4 So they, 

being sent forth by the Holy Ghost, 

departed unto Seleucia; 

and from thence they sailed to Cyprus.

Acts 19:6

King James Version

6 And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, 

the Holy Ghost came on them; 

and they spake with tongues, 

and prophesied.

2 Peter 1:17-18

King James Version

17 For he received from God the Father honour and glory, 

when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, 

This is my beloved Son, 

in whom I am well pleased.

18 And this voice which came from heaven we heard, 

when we were with him in the holy mount.

2 Peter 1:20-21

King James Version

20 Knowing this first, 

that no prophecy of the scripture 

is of any private interpretation.

21 For the prophecy came 

not in old time by the will of man: 

but holy men of God spake 

as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.

1 Corinthians 12:3

King James Version

3 Wherefore I give you to understand, 

that no man 

speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: 

and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, 

but by the Holy Ghost.

1 Corinthians 14:1-6

King James Version

14 Follow after charity, 

and desire spiritual gifts, 

but rather that ye may prophesy.

2 For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue 

speaketh not unto men, 

but unto God: 

for no man understandeth him; 

howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.

3 But he that prophesieth 

speaketh unto men to edification, 

and exhortation, 

and comfort.

4 He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; 

but he that prophesieth edifieth the church.

5 I would that ye all spake with tongues 

but rather that ye prophesied: 

for greater is he that prophesieth 

than he that speaketh with tongues, 

except he interpret, 

that the church may receive edifying.

6 Now, brethren, 

if I come unto you speaking with tongues, 

what shall I profit you, 

except I shall speak to you either by revelation, 

or by knowledge, 

or by prophesying, 

or by doctrine?

1 Timothy 4:1

King James Version

4 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, 

that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, 

giving heed to seducing spirits, 

and doctrines of devils;
