NOW: PART 5 PSALM 138 PROPHETIC KINGDOM MARKETPLACE BUSINESS
FIRST: Please read the entire Psalm 138 (but we only discuss verse 4 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.
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.
VERSE 4: “All the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O Lord, when they hear the words of thy mouth.”
Asking first: Just WHO are “all the kings” mentioned in this verse?
I would picture Ruler David interacting with real life ruling kings, who were used to marching into battle, resolving big conflicts and living in crucial, even dire, certainly life and death, heightened pressure filled (many) situations.
Let us also understand that true KINGS need to rule, to establish a KINGDOM DOMINION (spiritual/natural authority governing /house Rules, leader boundaries and a business propriety turf, sphere of regional influence, to make it well KNOWN that they are not going to allow themselves to be taken over from WITHOUT (by opposing equal mighty ,many time demonic, kings) OR from undermining opposing, many times natural, usurping forces from WITHIN.
Next, try to picture a Dignified, Ruling, Powerful Leader, be they in marketplace business or in senior pioneering apostolic ministry. The forces that attempt to block them from taking God’s Kingdom Dominion, be it poverty, other human accusative troublesome persons or even anti them spiritual or governmental, i.e.natural, real forces, all will, after a time, try to take a toll on the real true HUMAN PERSON who lies way deep inside the Outer Ruler’s Mentally Tough, Appearing to be Strong, Forward, Brave exterior.
Maybe this is why mentioning the example of a KING or QUEEN has a sober serious dignity that comes to mind when one pictures a ruling monarch.
Surely, a real earthly monarch, has been bred under great rules of required decorum, which adds big applied pressure to measure up to “royal high standards.” And add to that (now in media focus days) the ruling dignitary also is fully aware that that the (entire) world is watching.
But, doing business, taking God’s Kingdom dominion, especially way back on pioneering King David’s turf, in his time, is akin to how a regular, business person, senior minister or entrepreneur may actually feel.
They live where the rubber meets the hard,unyielding, twisting, turning Road.
Grass roots: full of hardened loveless mortal souls, each of our own natural, family real cares, heavy burdens, plus also the big pressure of temptation to feel stressed, heavily PRESSURED to conform to live up to the NATURAL or the SPIRITUAL proverbial JONESES.
And each of us may have a family given expectation to live up to, to progress toward, to fashion OURSELVES into, so as to indeed “Measure Up.” And ALL of the leader above, and a lot, lot more, tend to drain, dry up, sober, and soon wear way down, the natural, still very human, Kingdom Marketplace, Weekday Warrior, be they King or Queen.
This can explain why mentioning the word marketplace KING brings to mind a mental picture of a dignified, sober ,even somber, type of judge.
However, it’s not because these KINGS are angry, bitter or mean, it is just do to living under so much relentless mental, emotional, even moral, spiritual BIG UNYIELDING PRESSURE.
THUS all of THIS requires SOMETHING that can break off the big pressure.
WHAT CAN GIVE A BUSINESS KING a real reason to SETTLE WAY BACK, to UNWIND to have PEACE and JOY, even during what appears to be a never ending attack or enemy trial?
Thus, we return to VERSE 4:
” All the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O Lord, when they hear the words of thy mouth.
“All of the kings of the earth….” King David realized the SECRET to replace the joy, the peace and what could even bring a SOMBER,SOBER DIGNIFIED Ruling King a reason to praise the Lord? Perchance to really SMILE?
Both of these can only come about in the absence of big overwhelming mental pressure.
Yet David realized that there was one type of thing that would effect every KING /QUEEN in every land around the entire ruling, business, real life world. He deeply understood, that not ALL ruling Kings /Queens would accept it, no matter how free and available it was.
“all of the kings of the earth….shall praise Thee….”
Again, there is a big Something which will bring even a tiny smile, to the lips of EVERY HUMAN natural or spiritual Kingdom Business King…
…..and whatever this mysterious Substance or Item IS, will be able to penetrate that invisible soul/emotional/spirit dividing big line and create a spiritual barrior akin to insulation, to declutter, to destress, and to detox, the deep problematic NATURAL HUMAN SUPERNATURAL LEGAL, INVISIBLE, manifesting in appropriate Time in VISIBLE real realms…
…..but the answer is not in any FORMULA or any BUSINESS/MINISTRY “THING” it is in knowing the LORD personally and fully enough to GET A REAL WORD STRAIGHT FROM HIM!
“All the kings of the earth shall praise then, O Lord, when they hear the words from thy mouth.”
Remember, if God can part the Waters to let prophet Moses and the children of Israel pass through, HE can certainly part (open up) Time in YOUR often over BUSY ENDLESS DAYS to press in to the Secret Place of the Most High (Psalm 91) aka the Prophetic Cave of Elijah (I Kings 19:9) in order to ISOLATE yourself to be FREE from cells, media, human real persons.
Then, once you ABIDE THERE (as in not checking your watch continually but views this a First Leader Love which is His Time Set Time APART) then when GOD is ready, He will begin to communicate back.
HOW: there is no rule on the WAY the Lord may communicate. It may be each or some of the following:
Bible verses pop up in your spirit. Over all positive, peaceful PERCEIVED impressions, (have to conform to the fruit of James 3:17, I Tim 1:7 to be TRUE), spiritual pictures of ideas, plans, persons, guidance.
OR if you put on worship music, He may comfort you, send new realms of discerned, perceived REST, COMFORT or CALM.
AND if YOU do not go to any corporate place of “fellowshipping with the (nonlegalistic) saint” HE may instruct YOU to find one as the CORPORATE WORSHIP ANOINTING is much stronger than ONE PERSON ALONE even with the MIGHTY HOLY SPIRIT.
Reason: 1. 1 puts 1K to flight, 2, 10K (Kingdom TaveauCreativeLeadership in House translation of Deuteronomy 32:30 “One puts a thousand to flight, two ten thousand.”
AND the Bible teaches us that there is “supernatural applied faith and power of agreement” “where 2 or more are gathered in My Name I am there.” (so if 2 have a supernatural power of corporate/common spiritual agreement, then imagine how 200 can even have much more)
And if YOU live ,move and have YOUR natural being around, in the midst of GIANT, GRAVE, EXCEEDING, EXTREME adversity, you must perceive and discern WHEN “worship before the Throne alone” is not enough and when God is telling YOU to leave the comfort of YOUR own Prophetic Cave and find the power of fellow like minded TRUSTWORTHY ACCEPTING REAL BELIEVERS.
TAVEAU CREATIVE LEADERSHIP PENCIL ILLUSTRATION: One pencil alone can withstand but so much pressure. Too much pressure will cause it to snap in half.
But MANY pencils, all together, are nearly impossible to snap, no matter how great the pressure is.
That’s all for just now.
We’ll continue with VERSE 5 shortly.
PART 6 will be posted sometime tomorrow
