Words of Wisdom: Have Mercy On Me Lord
Consecration and Scripture Reference:
Teachings:
My life has been a roller coaster of trials and tribulations over the last few months. The last 7 days have proven to be worse yet. All these things have been allowed by God to teach me how to trust and love Him more. All that I teach, I must first live. When I live it, it then becomes my testimony and no one can alter or cause me to deny that which I have personally endured. I am grateful to God for being my friend. In the midst of all matters of life, I still find the teachings of God to be true and everlasting. If you follow the truths below, you will ALWAYS prevail over darkness. As I endured the darkness that was before me, I followed the steps below which I now pass on to you. Study the scriptures and make them your own. Amen.
Always repent before the Lord…daily. When you pray, assume that you have sinned in some manner, even if you do not know the specifics. This cannot be a routine that is not genuine. It cannot be half-hearted. God will read your heart to see if your repentance is genuine. See the words of Psalm 51 below. Use this as your daily guide with the goal of God restoring a “Clean Heart” within you.
Worship God in spirit and in truth. God is Spirit and is all “Truth.” There is no evil or darkness within Him. God does not need us constantly begging for stuff and things in life. All we need to do is “honestly” Worship Him! See the scriptures below. When we worship God, darkness cannot remain in our lives. True worship is a product of true love.
- 1 Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions. 2 Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. 3 For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me. 4 Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest. 5 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me. 6 Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom. 7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. 8 Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice. 9 Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities. 10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. 11 Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me. 12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit. 13 Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee. 14 Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation: and my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness. 15 O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise. 16 For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou delightest not in burnt offering. 17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise. 18 Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: build thou the walls of Jerusalem. 19 Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering: then shall they offer bullocks upon thine altar. (Psalms 51:1-19)
- 23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. (John 4:23-24)
- 17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. (John 14:16-17)
- 13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, 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. 14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you. 15 All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you. (John 16:13-15)
