2 Samuel 23:4

"SON" RISE

"He is like the light of the morning at sunrise on a cloudless morning, like the brightness after rain that brings the grass from the earth."  The Lord Jesus Christ is the bright and morning star; He is the fragrance after the rain; He is LORD!  He watches over all the Nations and especially Brazil this week, like a "Son" Rise!

"The path of the righteous is like the first gleam of dawn.

shining ever brighter till the full light of day."

(Proverbs 4:18)

He that the "Son" sets free is free indeed!  Righteousness means "in the fear of God."  Speaking of a Ruler who rules in righteousness, such as our Lord Jesus Christ, Gill's exposition says it this way, "he is the light and glory of his people, who guides and directs them, makes them cheerful and comfortable; his administrations are pleasant and delightful, and promise a growing and increasing happiness to them, like the morning light and rising sun..."  The JOY of the LORD is our strength!  

This is what the Lord says to me: "I will remain

quiet and will look on from my dwelling place,

like shimmering heat in the sunshine, like a

cloud of dew in the heat of harvest."

(Isaiah 18:4)

It's Harvest time!  The Lord is spreading wings like the eagle over the face of the earth in waving winds of love to every Nation.  As the dew settles over beautiful Brazil, we send our prayers, and the Lord Jesus Christ sends His angels, His heavenly Angels and His earthly Angels ...  the Pastors of Churches are called Angels in the Book of Revelation  ...  PromiseLand Church in Austin sends its Angel, Pastor Kenneth Phillips to Brazil this week  ...  He brings love, power and Glory to the precious people of Brazil!

"For the LORD God is a sun and shield;

the LORD bestows favor and honor; no good

thing does He withhold from those whose

walk is blameless."

(Psalm 84:11)

What a promise!  Another translation says, "No good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly before Him."  You say, "Nobody can be perfect."  Matthew 5:48 says, "Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly father is perfect."  The word commonly means, "finished, complete, pure, holy."  None of us 

can do this within ourselves, but by the Spirit of Jesus Christ our Lord, we "can" be holy and complete.  When we are baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and we receive the Holy Ghost, and speak with tongues as the Spirit of God fills us, we are on the road to completeness, becoming perfectly complete; all the guilt, shame, hurt, heartache, fears, and sins are washed away!  Perfect means "whole."  Before we receive the Son of God, Jesus Christ our Lord, as our Savior, we are splintered, torn, and broken, but He takes us in His loving arms and makes us New and Whole once again; we are reborn by the Spirit of God!

May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ rise upon you and give you peace; may His face shine upon you and direct your path.  Underneath are His everlasting arms; give Him your cares, your troubles and your woes; make Him your Lord and Savior and He will calm your storms.  May His Spirit abide within you, His name wash you clean in baptismal waters, and His love carry you until He comes again in clouds of Glory!  Amen and Amen!

Let the "SON" Rise in your heart and soul today!
