Untitled Sermon (54)

Psalm 103:1-2 (KJV) 1. Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. 2  Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:

INTRO: WHEN WE BLESS OR WORSHIP THE LORD WITH EVERYTHINCG THAT IS WITHIN US; IT REMINDS US OF WHO HE IS, AND WHAT HE IS TO US AND ALL THE BENEFITS THAT ARE ATTACHED TO HIM. COL 1:12-13  GIVING THANKS unto the FATHER, which hath MADE US MEET ( OR QUALIFIED US) to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: 13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:

what are the benefits

New mercies every day

HE is a TROUBLE TRACKER: HE trouble tracks HIS people.  2 Chron 16:9 9 For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him. Herein thou hast done foolishly: therefore from henceforth thou shalt have wars .Psalm 46:1 (KJV) God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. God is aware of all your troubles and HE shows up when HE knows that our troubles have become so troubling that WE have become TROUBLED AND ASSURES US IN 1 COR 10:13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. HE MAKES US ESCAPE ARTIST. JESUS IS THE ESCAPE ARTIST SUPREME, TALK ABOUT JESUS

WHO MAKES US ESCAPE ARTIST SUPERB. TALK ABOUT PETER

  GOD KNOWS EXACTLY WHERE WE ARE, EVEN WHEN WE ARE LOST AND CONFUSED.(KJV) JOB REALIZED THIS BENEFIT WHEN HE DECLARED in JOB 23:8-10 8. Behold, I go forward, but he is not there; and backward, but I cannot perceive him: 9  On the left hand, where he doth work, but I cannot behold him: he hideth himself on the right hand, that I cannot see him: 10  But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.

1 Corinthians 10:13 (KJV) 13  There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

He's a promise keeper. 2 COR 1:20  For all the promises of God IN HIM are yea, and IN HIM Amen, unto the glory of God by us. ( GOD CANNOT BE SEPARATED FROM HIS PROMISES, THEY ARE IN HIM.

John 14:13 (KJV) 13  And whatsoever ye shall ask IN MY NAME, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

John 14:14 (KJV) 14  If ye shall ask any thing IN MY NAME I will do it.

GOD’S PROMISES DEMANDS HIS PERFORMANCES: Numbers 23:19 (KJV)   God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?

ISA 55:11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: It shall not return unto me void, But it shall accomplish that which I please, And it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

THE BENEFITS ARE RENEWED DAILY: LAM 3:22-23 22’ It is of the LORD’s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.

23  They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. Psalm 68:19 (KJV) 19  Blessed be the Lord, who DAILY loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah.

HE is our defence mechanism even from the NUCLEARMONIC attacks of satan.

Isaiah 54:17 (KJV) 17  No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.

THE BENEFITS WORK BY FAITH

PSALMS 27:13 (KJV) 13  I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.

THERE'S BENEFITS IN HIS LOVE, JAMES 1:12

THERE'S BENEFITS IN HIS BLOOD,

AND THERE'S BENEFITS THAT WE CANNOT EVEN THINK OF, Ephesians 3:20 (KJV) 20  Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, MAT 9:36-38 36 But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd. 37 Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; 38 Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.

HOWEVER There is a BENEFIT BREAKER:

Talk about my bumper to bumper warranty, that covered ever thing on the car by the MANUFACTURER

As long as I complete the scheduled maintenance the warranty is good. But when I neglect scheduled maintenance the BUMPER TO BUMPER benefit was in jeopardy.

( TALK ABOUT SCHEDULED SPIRITUAL MAINTENANCE )

But the minute you take your car to the neighborhood hack the warrany does not apply BECAUSE YOU DID NOT KEEP THE WORDS OF THE CONTRACT. When anything go wrong with my car, it would be repaired as I took it to a manufacturer's shop to worked n by a manufacturer trained and appointed mechanic. Who is very familiar with the causes of the break downs.

James 5:14 (KJV) 14  Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:

The problem could just be an OIL change.
