How Can I be Saved
Author Guardian
Psalm 47-49,
Jerusalem was under attack and armies marched unto Jerusalem ready to take
it as their own and although vast armies marched upon Jerusalem, the Lord
God protected His people
He caused the enemies to come against themselves and they were destroyed
And we come to Psalms 47,48 and 49 now
But firstly we look to Psalm 48 as we see Jerusalem under attack
And we note that the armies Of Gods people marched towards the enemy,
they did not run away, but they marched towards the enemy and they came up
against the enemy with spear and weapon but they did not have to use these
"gifts" weapons
Instead they put men of the levite tribes in front praising God, marching
towards the enemy ( note ) marching towards the enemy praising God
Is'nt it strange how the concepts of the Christian Kingdom are so opposite
to our normal way of thinking ?
Would you go towards a vast army of men wielding swords and javelin singing
praises to God ?
would you put a tribe of people in front of your armies
to praise God as you go to what might be death ?
Well the last thing at times you might want to do when faced with danger
is to start singing ? is that correct ?
So many times I have faced difficult times and I have moaned and groaned
and complained and grumbled but you know inside that song goes on
Sometimes my flesh is weak but the song that God has put in my heart goes on
through
At times the last thing we might want to do in times of trouble is to start
praising God, this kind of goes against our natural way of thinking does'nt it ?
At times when everything seems to go against us its only natural to want
to grumble and complain and as the world might say to us
" Let it all out ...its good for you "
Now we are not saying that we should surpress what is in us, we are not saying
we should keep our lips sealed and surpress our feelings
But what we are looking at here is the opposite of what we might feel like
doing
Sometimes its easy to pray when all is well with our souls but we might find
it harder to praise and pray to God when things are not going quite to
plan
We noted in our last message that David was exiled far from Jerusalem and that
his own son had sought to take the throne and that at this time when David was
exiled from His own kingdom that it just happened to be the time of Festival
when the people of God were to remember Gods goodness to them
Leviticus chapter 23.
And so at the time when David was alone and rejected and despised and a man
of sorrows this was the time to remember Gods goodness
At the very time when we are confronted with the enemy in fact we use the
weapon of great power, this is the weapon of praise
The enemy will run a mile at the sound of praise
Many a spiritualist , medium fortune teller or persons involved in the
occult will not be able to stand the sound of praises to God for very long
The enemy hates praise and he hates the sound of people praising God
He will run until the dust is seen no more
But we follow in the dust of our Rabbi who is Jesus and we have the
song of salvation upon our lips and in our hearts this new song that is
implanted within us
When we are confronted with danger and the enemy we about turn and march towrds
the fear and foe and we praise God
Have you ever wondered how silly this may seem to those who are invading?
"hahhaa look at them...what kind of army is that ?
they have people singing,"
But although people may mock and scorn and jeer and persecute and laugh this
is no more than they did to Jesus
The Church praises God and is a house of God that is there to glorify God
The Church glorifies God, that is its purpose...to glorify God
It directs people to God, the Church should point to God,the Church should
glorify God
Here we have an army of Gods people glorifying God and singing praises to God,
an army ready for war and what are they doing ?
Singing praises to God ...of course
What greater weapon in warfare ? to praise God and to have a Church that
sings and marches into battle
And there is a time to listen to Gods word , to listen to God speak, to hear
God speak , to meditate on his word , to read and listen to His word
To be transformed and renewed into the people and army that God wants us to be
An army of people who make the enemy run for his death
This vast army of univeral believers around the world praising God and marching
on ....gifted and armed at the ready to fight the good fight
O death where is thy sting ?
death is swallowd up in victory,
Who is this that rose like the dawn ?
as strong as an army ?
as an army with
banners ? it is the Church in the eyes of the Lord , the Bride of Christ
awaiting for her King
The message last week at Church ( although I was upstairs leading sunday school)
and doing a lesson on trusting God) , just happened to be about Peter and the storm
The waves and troubles and praising God in the storm
Its not an easy thing to about turn and put on our praise, this is within us,
The natural thing is to mumble and moan and the enemy will put all kinds of thoughts
into our heads
We must at these times confront the enemy with the sound of praise to our God
However foolish this may seem , praise is a great weapon and is a weapon
used throughout Gods word
After the battle the men of the City would go around the outskirts of the City
and inspect the walls of the City and see what damage had been caused
They would make sure the defenses of that City were not weakened, if the City
walls had been damged or weakend then those City walls would be repaired and
restored and ready
Always take time to prepare and to look upon those defenses, always make
