“Glory to the Precious name of our Lord Jesus Christ”

Hebrews 4: 12

For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen

Hallelujah 

God sends his word into us and analyses us to see how the salvation of our soul, the bride, the church is and he chooses those who unite with him.

My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, in the portion of the Bible that we meditated upon in the past days, we meditated that if God remembers us, the bride, the church then surely, he will save us and we meditated regarding this.

Next, what we are meditating is that 1 Samuel 2: 1 – 10 And Hannah prayed and said: “My heart rejoices in the Lord; My horn is exalted in the Lord. I smile at my enemies, because I rejoice in Your salvation.

“No one is holy like the Lord, For there is none besides You, nor is there any rock like our God.

“Talk no more so very proudly; Let no arrogance come from your mouth, for the Lord is the God of knowledge; and by Him actions are weighed.

“The bows of the mighty men are broken, and those who stumbled are girded with strength.

Those who were full have hired themselves out for bread, and the hungry have ceased to hunger. Even the barren has borne seven, and she who has many children has become feeble.

“The Lord kills and makes alive; he brings down to the grave and brings up.

The Lord makes poor and makes rich; he brings low and lifts up.

He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the beggar from the ash heap, to set them among princes and make them inherit the throne of glory. “For the pillars of the earth are the Lord’s, and He has set the world upon them.

He will guard the feet of His saints, but the wicked shall be silent in darkness. “For by strength no man shall prevail.

The adversaries of the Lord shall be broken in pieces; from heaven He will thunder against them. The Lord will judge the ends of the earth. “He will give strength to His king and exalt the horn of His anointed.”

When we meditate upon the above-mentioned verses, God saved Hannah and she prayed and said: “My heart rejoices in the Lord; My horn is exalted in the Lord. I smile at my enemies, because I rejoice in Your salvation. In this manner, our soul which has been saved, the sound that praises God we must open our mouth and glorify God. After she made the sound of her praising God in this manner be heard, Elkanah went to his house at Ramah. But the child ministered to the Lord before Eli the priest. Now the sons of Eli were corrupt; they did not know the Lord. And the priests’ custom with the people was that when any man offered a sacrifice, the priest’s servant would come with a three-pronged fleshhook in his hand while the meat was boiling. Then he would thrust it into the pan, or kettle, or caldron, or pot; and the priest would take for himself all that the fleshhook brought up. So they did in Shiloh to all the Israelites who came there.

My dear people, the reason why God is showing this as a pattern is that after our soul has come into the happiness of salvation, Christ from within us will always rejoice in the Lord and the horn of praise to the Lord will be risen up always in us. Also, his mouth will always be with testimony of the Lord. Also, he will be preaching to the people. Those who fight with him will be broken in pieces. Our Lord God will thunder from heaven. He will judge our deeds of the earth and anoint Christ within us and make that strength to increase and from him through our tongue the praise that praises God will rise up always. In this manner in our life holiness will be manifested. Our soul will stay with Christ and we will do service unto the Lord. Then the earth will leave us one by one. Also, when we are offering sacrifice to the Lord how God accepts this is that by the word of God of the triune God he analyses us. That is, when he sends his word into our soul, it pierces us as one that goes deep and pierces and that weapon which pierces us deeply is the word of God and those who receive that word he analyses them, knows them and gathers them towards himself. 

In this manner, he chooses the Israelites. Let us submit ourselves in this manner.

Let us pray. May the Lord bless you all abundantly.
