Call out to me, I will answer!

Psa 91:15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.
KJV

Thus sayeth the Lord
Because you have given me your love, I will take you out of danger: I will put you in a place of honour, because you have kept my name in your heart.
When your cry comes up to me, I will give you an answer: I will be with you in trouble; I will make you free from danger and give you honour.
Long life will be your reward; and you will see my salvation.

The kingdom of God is not in word, but in power

1Co 4:20 For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.
KJV

Christ is the power and the wisdom of God. 1)1Co 1:24 But to those of God’s selection, Jews and Greeks, Christ is the power and the wisdom of God.
And I am dependent on the power of the Spirit to make this clear to you in my preaching 2)1Co 2:4 And in my preaching there were no honeyed words of wisdom, but I was dependent on the power of the Spirit to make it clear to you: of the good news, because the good news is the power of God giving salvation to everyone who has faith. 3)Rom 1:16 For I have no feeling of shame about the good news, because it is the power of God giving salvation to everyone who has faith, to the Jew first, and then to the Greek.
The Kingdom of God is not in things of the flesh but in faith that receives righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. 4)Rom 14:17 For the kingdom of God is not food and drink, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit
So I give the good news of Jesus Christ in the Power Of The Holy Spirit. 5)Rom 15:19 By signs and wonders, in the power of the Holy Spirit; so that from Jerusalem and round about as far as Illyricum I have given all the good news of Christ;
And the weapons that I use are not of this world, but they are the Power Of God to destroy strongholds. 6)2Co 10:4 For the arms with which we are fighting are not those of the flesh, but are strong before God for the destruction of high places;
Ending all discussion of unimportant things and bringing down everything and everyone under the authority of Jesus Christ. 7)2Co 10:5 Putting an end to reasonings, and every high thing which is lifted up against the knowledge of God, and causing every thought to come under the authority of Christ;
We give the good news not as entertainment, but in Power and in the Holy Spirit, so that you may know the truth, Just like you know our love. 8)1Th 1:5 Because our good news came to you, not in word only, but in power, and in the Holy Spirit, so that you were completely certain of it; even as you saw what our behaviour to you was like from our love to you.

Judgement By God Is Important

But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man’s judgment: yea, I judge not mine own self.
1 Corinthians 4:3 – KJV

Let us be judged as servants of Christ, and as those who are responsible for the secret things of God.
And it is right for such servants to be true in Christ.
But it is a very small thing to me that I am judged by you or by man’s judging; I am not even a judge of myself.
For I am not conscious of any wrong in myself; but this does not make me clear, for it is the Lord who is my judge.
For this reason let there be no judging before the time, till the Lord comes, who will make clear the secret things of the dark, and the designs of the heart; and then will every man have his praise from God.
The kingdom of God isn’t just talk, but also power.

The wisdom of this world is foolishness before God

1Co 3:19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.
KJV

Let no man have a false idea. If any man seems to himself to be wise among you, let him become foolish, so that he may be wise.
For the wisdom of this world is foolish before God. As it is said in the holy Writings, He who takes the wise in their secret designs:
And again, The Lord has knowledge of the reasonings of the wise, that they are nothing.
So let no one take pride in men. For all things are yours;
Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours;
And you are Christ’s; and Christ is God’s.

How blessed are those who have never seen Jesus and yet have believed!

Joh 20:27 Then he said to Thomas, Put out your finger, and see my hands; and put your hand here into my side: and be no longer in doubt but have belief.
Joh 20:28 And Thomas said in answer, My Lord and my God!
Joh 20:29 Jesus said to him, Because you have seen me you have belief: a blessing will be on those who have belief though they have not seen me!

But these are recorded, so that you may have faith that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and so that, having this faith you may have life in his name. 2)Joh 20:31 But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.

Children, an Heritage and Reward

Psa 127:3 Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.
KJV

If the Lord is not helping the builders, then the building of a house is to no purpose: if the Lord does not keep the town, the watchman keeps his watch for nothing.
It is of no use for you to get up early, and to go late to your rest, with the bread of sorrow for your food; for the Lord gives to his loved ones in sleep.
See, sons are a heritage from the Lord; the fruit of the body is his reward.
Like arrows in the hand of a man of war, are the children of the young.
Happy is the man who has a good store of them; he will not be put to shame, but his cause will be supported by them against his haters.
