"He trains my hands for battle, So that my arms can BEND a bow of bronze. 2 Samuel 22:35
He the Most High God “trains” my hands. He gives me certain skills that come through suffering and tribulation and these skills form me into the image of His Word.
To have good wine the grapes must be mature and when they are mature the grapes must be pressed for the juice to flow forth for the wine. Sons of His will be the pressed out ones that His river of Life shall flow out to all nations. It is this time of pressing that the sons will no longer desire their will but only to do His.
They will see there is no hope, no value or any thing worth dying for BUT HIS ENDLESS LIFE!
They will act upon the Living Word that has lighted their path in knowing that "God is not a man, that He should lie; neither the son of man, that He should repent: hath He not said, and shall He not do it? or hath He spoken, and shall He not make it good? Behold, I HAVE RECEIVED COMMANDMENT TO BLESS: and He hath blessed; and I cannot reverse it” Numbers 23:19-20
Love is the seen image of His sons and to follow that is “Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven. Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again” Luke 6:37-38
Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them. Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep.
Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty [conceited, self-important, exclusive], but associate with humble people [those with a realistic self-view]. Do not overestimate yourself.
Never repay anyone evil for evil. Take thought for what is right and gracious and proper in the sight of everyone.
If possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.
Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave the way open for God’s wrath [and His judicial righteousness]; for it is written [in Scripture], “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord.
But if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him a drink; for by doing this you will heap burning coals on his head.”
Do not be overcome and conquered by evil, but overcome evil with good. Romans 12:14-21
These ones that live by His Power to be His sons are the ones trained for battle.
BLESSED to BE A BLESSING!
The working of His POWER and WILL, will be the transformation that takes place in His sons minds. It is an attitude change that needs to take place. From beast to son, from darkness to Light, from death to Life, from cursing to blessing, from taking to giving!
As a song goes “To tear off the mask, see the art of your face.” For once one sees his own face they will cry out in repentance for change!
The Most High God is an image changer!
He desires each of us to be conformed to His image, changed into His mind and to be partaker of His nature in the here and now!
For as ye have drunk upon my holy mountain, so shall all the heathen drink continually, yea, they shall drink, and they shall swallow down, and they shall be as though they had not been.
But upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness; .... Obadiah 1:16, 17
One of a pure heart can be a blesser.
For the Life of God shall flow from one that is not conformed to this world or the image of the beast; But is one that has allowed the Word of God to develop them unto spiritually mature sons in that they desire nothing else but to be the blesser rather than the bless me!
So, beloved, since you are looking forward to these things, be diligent and make every effort to be found by Him spotless and blameless, in peace [that is, inwardly calm with a sense of spiritual well-being and confidence, having lived a life of obedience to Him]. And consider the patience of our Lord [His delay in judging and avenging wrongs] as salvation [that is, allowing time for more to be saved]; .... 2 Peter 3:14,15
And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Thessalonians 5:23
We see that Abraham blessed Melchizedek with a tenth of the spoils of war. In this world we have much we can gain from, but it is only the spoils of war. For we need to fight to get it, we need to till the ground to receive it, and we need to step upon another to have it.
Let the mature sons of God see that the spoils of war are worthless and have no profit and be as the blessed Son and saying unto the Most High God “I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart.” Psalm 40:8
And verily they that are of the sons of Levi, who receive the office of the priesthood, have a commandment to TAKE TITHES of the people according to the law, that is, of their brethren, though they come out of the loins of Abraham: But he whose descent is not counted from them RECEIVED TITHES of Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises. Hebrews 7:5,6
Abraham was not under any law and as so FREELY gave unto Melchizedek. Melchizedek did not make any commandment to give a tenth, but graciously RECEIVED Abraham’s blessing.
Do we see the opposite operation in the religious world of today?
There are they that demands tithes and them that takes tithes and they preach this as if they have a right to do so.
As a baby in Christ one of the first doctrines that the religious world baptized me in was TITHING!
One with truth will surly understand this rebuke to Simon the sorcerer, “But Peter said to him, “May your money be destroyed along with you, because you thought you could buy the free gift of God with money! You have no part or share in this matter, because your heart (motive, purpose) is not right before God. So repent of this wickedness of yours, and pray to the Lord that, if possible, this thought of your heart may be forgiven you.
For I see that you are provoked by bitterness and bound by sin.” Acts 8:20-23
So many today are harvesters of money rather than harvesters of souls.
I won’t step across this line in judgement for I know the Most High God sees and as so He will judge!
My heart as His, desires to see the sheep feeders rather than themselves feeders. Preachers who think show and tell sells the people the fact that God is with them. High class shoes fit the man that only exalts himself to a level where he wears expensive clothing, drives a luxury automobile, yet has pride so deep within, that his heart is puffed up with bitterness and sin.
Stooping to GUILE in using the world’s methods to do God’s will!
When the Son of man shall come in his glory, ... he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left ... say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you ... For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or thirsty, a stranger and took thee in, naked and clothed thee, sick or in prison and came unto thee ... say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. Matthew 25:31-40
The sons of God in this hour are the BLESSERS on the right hand of the Son of man!
Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: FREELY ye have received, FREELY give. Matthew 10:8
Just as Abraham received the blessing of bread and wine from Melchizedek so he in return FREELY gave to the blesser .... “ Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. Matthew 25:40
"I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.
And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take of the water of life FREELY" Revelation 22:16-17
Let the sons of God rest upon Matthew 6 knowing that the Most High God CAN SUPPLY ALL THEIR NEEDS. Time the called out gave knowing that the blessing came before the giving and in return the body shall have the needs met.
"freely you have received, FREELY GIVE!"
