David’s New Cart (6)

It happened, as the ark of the covenant of the Lord came to the City of David, that Michal, Saul’s daughter, looked through a window and saw King David whirling and playing music; and she despised him in her heart.
1 Chronicles 15:29 NKJV

David’s New Cart (6)
Perhaps you will find somebody who will despise you, as here we find Michal despising David. Never mind that; I would rather be an obedient David than a despising Michal. God has given to you and me an opportunity, in the absence of the Lord Jesus Christ, to be faithful to His truth.

We have the knowledge that the Holy Spirit is still in the Assembly on the earth, and some of us have by God’s grace learned the truth as to His Assembly, and what it is to be gathered to the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Well, if we have that truth, let us be true to it, and let us walk in the liberty of the truth. There were those who would not have Paul’s heavenly line of things, and turned away from him. I think it is a great privilege, a great favor from God, if He has given us to see and seek to act on recovered truth and light. I believe we have it by God’s grace. Should it puff us up? God forbid! It was grace that called us as sinners, and if God has given us the light and truth of the Assembly, and what ministry really is, and what it is to be gathered to the Lord’s name, it is an immense favor.

God give us grace to be true to what the Lord has taught us. Because you can be sure, “whoever has, to him more will be given; and whoever does not have, even what he seems to have will be taken from him” (Lk. 8:18). If people do not cherish the truth God has given them, by and by their vision becomes dull, and in time they become the most determined opponents of the truth they once prized. That is an awful thing. The Lord help us to be true to Himself for His name’s sake!

BROKENNESS

In your relationship with God, one place you need to get to is the place of brokenness. To be broken is to have some form of injury that makes the object less than a whole. In spiritual parlance, it is to break or subdue the flesh in order to be more profitable to the kingdom of God. Why do you need to be broken?...More

DELIVERANCE: DIVINE ASSURANCE

When God speaks, that settles it. He reigns forever. When He gives a decree, it is forever. When He says "surely", it means surely. When He says surely, it will be well with me, nobody can change it. He says surely, by His stripes I am healed, and nobody can change this. He says surely, everything I do shall...More
