May We Go Up to the Mountain of The LORD Together!
Good morning.
We must not ever lose our Praise and Worship to The LORD!
This message today is to the Church. The True Church is still alive and well, by the way!
Here is one of my favorite songs. It should get our blood a pumping.
Should not we praise Him, the King of All Glory?
We must give Him the sacrifice of Praise even in trying difficult times!
We know The Bible does warn us that the heart is desperately wicked.
Still also The Word of God says that the pure in heart shall see God.
So, how do we get there?
The answer is by ‘heart checks’ every single day. I have heard it put that way, and I so agree.
As Christians we need to repent of any ‘little foxes’ that will definitely try to get in.
It is by choosing to die daily to self that Christ might live in us!
When we judge and examine ourselves, it won’t allow for any ‘holier than thou’ attitudes.
When we ask sincerely, we can have a clean heart . Along with that we must ask for a right spirit.
Soon, I wish to continue with a follow up about entering the ‘Holy of Holies’.
Closing with scriptures to tie this all together.
God bless you all.

It is a heart issue every single day and living with two families in my house, there are so many times I have walked back to my bedroom and said LORD help me lol but the thing that God has always done is we talk through it and pray. So we do have to Praise in difficult times and repent. The song was beautiful. Blessings
Thank you for sharing that with all of us Pamie. It did my heart good to read how you pray ‘Lord help me’. With that being first (as we all need to do), it opens the door for repentance and prayer. I am glad with two families there you can work things out in a Godly fashion! So many times it seems like some dont want to repent and pray together. You are a blessing to others Hugs ❤️
