  1. There is no way to understand God apart from understanding and accepting the truth of His perfect righteousness. AS we humble ourselves before Him, he reveals himself to us in all His purity and holiness. All we can do is immerse ourselves in Scripture, declare the Word of God with power as the Spirit leads and pray much.
  2. He is afraid for His life, for he believes that anyone who sees God will surely be put to death. And of course, wow, I am sure even God's very appearance frightened him when he first saw it since he had never seen anything like it in his whole life. It must have been awesome beyond words. God makes Isaiah holy by sending an angel to touch his lips with a live coal from off the altar. I'll bet he never forgot that again. I probably left a scar for life. It symbolized the holiness of God, and the cleansing of Isaiah's own body and life from sin in the eternal forgiveness of God. And set him apart from His service. He obediently responded: Here am I, send me." Oh, God that I might get just a glimpse of Your holiness and respond as obediently as he did. I have seen enough that I have not excuse now. " I believe. Help my unbelief."

  4. oops incomplete answer. We Christians are born in sin with a rebellious and hardened heart. Just as the clay we cannot speak and dare not deny our maker. Total compliance, obedience, and a soft and pliable heart before Him.
  5. Because it is impossible for an inanimate object to complain to its maker. And it is just a ridiculous for a believer to rebel against her Lord. And utterly unspeakable impossibility in any and every sense of the Word.
  6. David knew that He knew that God could go anything and was not afraid to tackle the giant. When we know who God really is, we are not afraid to tackle the enemies He allows across our paths. God is a fearsome and holy God and in His wrath against sin He is a consuming wrath. We do well to be on God's side and against His enemies. PTL, He has called me to Himself.
  7. God is letting Moses know that of all things He is the impossible beyond man's conception, a God of all eternity. He has always been, there was never a time when He came into being, and He will always and forever be who He is without change. What a awesome truth. One can only ever believe this by the faith that God gives because the human mind cannot conceive of eternality or understand it at all. Nothing man has ever known has been eternal. Gods were understood and beieved to be what they were by their names. No idol could ever have been honestly called eternal with any kind of believability because never would man have thought that something could exist forever. Man would never make up a name like Yahweh for a god. So they have to know just by the Name that this God is the King of all Gods and even truly alive unlike any god that could be made by a man out of a piece of wood. Praise His Holy Name. This is God HImself our personal, loving, all powerful God, worthy of all worship and praise and beyond our human conception.
  8. It seems that the Lord in His death, burial and resurrection is our whole life. As we look to Him, we are led step by step in a walk of faith in the battle we face. There is peace and joy in the midst of the storm. It is about trust and obedience to the prompting of God. It means courage in the face of our human weakness; the courage and boldness of the Spirit Fo God and it means waiting in Him for His timing. When there is sin in our lives, at one level we do not trust of care if He is fighting our battles or not. We are not thinking of Him. If we know Him He is doing what He does, but we do not have the peace and assurance that He is.

  15. A signal pole, usually a flag would be erected on the top of a hill. It was to call the troops to gather and begin war. In this case, the Amalekites were coming to war against the armies of Israel. Moses stood on the top of a hill and held his hands up in the air. In that situation, the Israelites perceived this to be the sign that it was time to gather for war. God had told Moses to do this. When they looked up and saw Moses, they won the battle as long as his hands were up. When they would become discouraged they could look it and it encouraged their heart. It was Moses that God used to give the victory. But it was the men who had to fight. We too are engaged constantly in war. It is an unseen spiritual battle with the forces of evil. The Lord Jesus Christ through His crucifixion and resurrection secured the victory. When we keep our eyes on Him, we will our battles and when we get our eyes off of Him we lose our battles. It is the same thing. He is our Moses, or our banner of victory and protection.

  17. Jesus died alone on the cross. He was forsaken by all including God the Father. This is one battle He had to fight alone. When he does call on them, the whole host of heaven's army are at His disposal, immediately there and totally obedient. He is the Lord God of Warrior Hosts.
  18. Elisha's servant was afraid because of the huge army that was waging war against them. The difference between he and Elisha was that God had opened Elisha's eyes supernaturally to see all the spiritual heavenly host that surrounded them.. God must supernaturally open our eyes in some way, for us to see what He wants us to see that He is doing for us. Knowing that the One who is in us as believers, God almighty Himself, is more powerful than any enemy in our world, seen or unseen, should deliver us from all fear of ever doing anything we feel God may be calling us to do. It enables us to step out courageously in any situation we are faced with. It should enable, empower, encourage me to pray that whatever God wills, I will do it and ask Him to lead me into HIs battles for me. Then I know that I will be victorious in all circumstances. I am so weak that I need to fear doing anything apart from surrender to my Lord and that type of praying.
  19. Because that was the wrong question. It was not the issue. The real question is not whether God is on my side, but whether I am on God's Side. Joshua would have been at first frightened and then prone to listen carefully. And at the end he must have felt empowered by God. For He obeyed implicitly all that was said without further question. He realized that He had seen and heard God HImself in one form or another... it matters not which. And He was prepared to obey Him and did indeed obey Him.
  20. Who is the King of glory? The LORD, strong and mighty, the LORD, mighty in battle! Lift up your heads, O gates! and be lifted up, O ancient doors! that the King of glory may come in. Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, a.he is the King of glory!" (Psalm 24:7-10) He is the King of Glory. He has all power. He rules over all. I must submit my all to Him. Your will, my Lord: nothing more, nothing less, nothing else. He is to be worshiped, feared, adored, honored and obeyed. My life should be one of worshiping and adoring and fixing my mind and heart on Him day and night without ceasing. He is the King of Glory. Hallelujah! He is set apart, Holy other. And yet as my Father, He loves me and makes Himself known to me. As the Father of Glory, the Father of all fathers from whom Fatherhood takes its Name, He is to be worshiped, feared, adored and obeyed. b. As we gaze upon our King of Glory, our Father of Glory, by His Spirit, His glory comes to fill our lives. Praise His Name forever!
  21. I am thinking of at least two other Scriptures. One is Is. 6: 5 And I said: “Woe is me! For I am lost; for I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts!” And the other one is in Rev. 4. 11 “Worthy are you, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they existed and were created.” To Him I owe my life, my breath, all that i am and all that I have. He is the eternal God of the Universe. The one and only God. Every breath I take, I owe to Him. I need to glorify Him all the time with my thoughts, my words and my deeds. Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God... But God. Praise His Name.
  22. He is the Most High God, supreme over the Universe. It means I owe Him my worship and adoration. It means I need to fear Him in the biblical sense of the word: awe, wonder, worship, respect, adoration. He is the King of kings. He is the Lord of lords. There is no God but our God Most High. I owe Him my life and must obey Him joyfully and sacrificially in all that I think, say and do. He must be the King and Lord of my life. He must increase and I must decrease.
  23. They believed He was the God above all gods. They believed Him to be a personal God, willing to be involved in their lives and powerful enough to conquer their enemies. They worshiped Him and Him alone. They worshipped and and I believe incorporated in that, they feared Him with that healthy fear of God that embodies respect, worship, adoration and total obedience.
