We believe, so we receive. We believe and so we rejoice. Faith is an act. How would you act when you have the things you ask for? Act that way even now.
Smith Wigglesworth was a man through whom several people were raised from the dead by the Holy Ghost. Lester Sumrall once asked him how he remained energetic and full of strength even up till his eighties, and he said his key was rejoicing before the Lord.
Smith Wigglesworth kept a routine of high speed vigorous dancing before the Lord every morning. Rejoicing before the Lord and giving thanks to Him for the grace is a great rewarding spiritual adventure.
David danced before the Lord. He said, “I will humble myself before the Lord.” Rejoicing before the Lord is humbling yourself before Him.
Michal, David’s wife, mocked him for ‘making a fool of himself’, but David told her it was not by human effort or the hand of man that he had been made a king. It was the doing of the Lord, and therefore he said “I would be even more vile before the Lord.” Michal became barren from that day on.
Galatians 3:13 “Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law…” All Jesus did for us now works for us by the working of the Holy Ghost. We are blessed.
To be ‘redeemed’ means that Jesus Christ purchased our freedom and that all we have received in the finished work of Christ are now activated by the Holy Spirit.
Be blessed! The blessing enables, enriches and empowers.
