PART 4 PSALM 138 PROPHETIC KINGDOM BUSINESS ONGOING BIBLE STUDY

PSALM 138:3
FIRST: Please read the entire Psalm 138 (but we only discuss verse 3 on this posting)
1.I will praise thee with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise unto thee.
2 I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.

TODAY 3 In the day when I cried thou answeredst me, and strengthenedst me with strength in my soul.
4 All the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O Lord, when they hear the words of thy mouth.
5 Yea, they shall sing in the ways of the Lord: for great is the glory of the Lord.
6 Though the Lord be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly: but the proud he knoweth afar off.
7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me.
8 The Lord will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, OLord, endureth for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands.”KJV

VERSE 3 STUDY:
PSALM 138: 3: In the day when I cried thou answeredst me, and strengthenedst me with strength in my soul.
SO our only reason for REPEATING it, is that it is a WORD FROM THE LORD for the national body of Christ, along with Amos 3:7 DUE to what we all truly know is NEEDED: Body wide, local, persona, church, and ministry, kingdom business FAMILY produced REALLY REAL income. (but not meaning fly by night, kooky or UNSOUND).
And this is WHY we are repeating it. For it will require EACH OF US “mingling each of OUR OWN faith” with God’s real PROMISES.
“For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.” Hebrews 4:2
SO PRAYERFULLY YIELD, MENTALLY ACCEPT and ” BELIEVE” but all try to peruse the OTHER PSALM 138 previous Bible study, as I am not repeating, it, however, I remember that in VERSE 3 I did a LOT of expounding, which I prefer NOT to have to do again here, BUT will do a BRIEF ONE, yet do not want YOU to miss out on any of what was written before.
PSALM 138: 3: In the day when I cried thou answeredst me, and strengthenedst me with strength in my soul.

“in the day when I cried” implies don’t just be overly HEROIC and have “pull yourself up with your own tough minded boot straps forced thinking.” Rather, go to the LORD and REALLY get REAL. Make a list of all of YOUR cares, fears, real worries and the heavy burdens, then CAST THEM over onto the LORD: and let them remain there.

“in the day when I cried YOU answered ME”

This means that the LORD hears and answers YOU the very DAY, HOUR, MINUTE when YOU pray, call out, or ask. YET, there is a TIME PERIOD (long or short, whatever GOD understands is for YOUR OWN BEST) when the answer occurs, is made MANIFEST.The IN BETWEEN TIME is the “faith and patience inherit the promises” TESTING, SPIRITUALLY MATURING time.
And it may be hours, days, many weeks, even years, as God has a Higher Goal in His Eternal Leader Mind. It is not only about YOUR REWARD (which of course is in the Bible, is very pleasant, even needed and He wants us to have “our heart’s desires” …yet God has a higher PLAN to get YOU to truly know HIM and to see if YOU will really love HIM even if HE doesn’t give YOU everything YOU really believe that YOU want and surely DESERVE.

Admittedly, this is the TRUE FAITH and PATIENCE MEANING in each one of our over all maturing true process yet broken down in 2 -3 sentences…

“In the day that I called, YOU ANSWERED ME and strengthened me with strength in my soul.”

YOU cry out to Him, HE responds ASAP, yet NOT in earthly visible manner, IT is INVISIBLE, but while he is getting our conditions, including our HEARTS right, and directing us every STEP along what needs to be HIS NARROW WAY,we are given something to maintain us, to make us enduring, and filled with HOPE…He imparts to us for FREE, at the very time we call to Him (in prayer). and ANSWERS US.

IN A NON PEANUTTY NUT SHELL:
• We call
• He answers and has the end product ready but is going to teach us some ETERNAL BIBLE PRINCIPLES and also WORK ON EACH OF OUR OWN CHARACTERS, MINISTRY CALLINGS.
• So, God appears to supernaturally exert His wonder working power and Lordship, and (for unknown by myself OVERSEER reasons) He mysteriously keeps us in suspense until just the right appointed Time. YET, the Heavenly God is continually working both on US and behind the scenes to get it and US really ready.
• Thus, when by the time the answer is ready to be made manifested, God will have worked on OUR HEARTS, repeatedly tested our faith and patience and will have spotted both good and also needy spiritual/moral character, lifestyle, significant places which HE has seen that HE wants us to really learn about: How to really LOVE, Forgive, Have required Endurance, Real Patience , and a lot more.

And all of the above equally tie in deeply with God’s LEADER/FOLLOWER ANOINTING and our need for MATURITY in self governing over it.
So we will need to wait, and be patient (continually) and , to follow His every clear direction, to yield to His Word and to make His praises well known.

And after the time between “I SEE IT” and”THERE IT IS” we will look back to see how God used the invisible testing and waiting time to ENRICH US with the invisible, intangible types of things which NO AMOUNT OF MONEY or PEOPLE or BUSINESS/MINISTRY Kingdom Business Position, Power,Prestige or HUMAN SUCCESS that MAKING MORE MONEY could ever buy.

That’s all for now.

Almighty blessings!
