Contemplation of the Week: Psalm 56:1-13
Text: Isaiah 40: 25-41
Title of the Word: Victorious life in the power of the Holy Spirit

Through the prophet Isaiah the servant of  God once again declared who He is to the world:

” To whom then will ye liken me, or shall I be equal? saith the Holy One.

26Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these things, that bringeth out their host by number: he calleth them all by names by the greatness of his might, for that he is strong in power; not one faileth. “(Isaiah 40: 25-26)

He also said that when heaven and earth, which he created, are called in due time, they all stand together:

” Mine hand also hath laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand hath spanned the heavens: when I call unto them, they stand up together..” (Isaiah 48:13)
The heavens and the earth, which are circling the orbits created by Himself so far, will stand up when He calls, and we cannot imagine what will happen at that time.

He has spoken to Jacob, who says that he has been n , losing heart, lost his ways, and that God’s judgments for them have passed by. It is also the word for Christians who are discouraged at the end time.

The eternal God who created the ends of the earth reminded them once again that no matter how much time passes, He faints not, neither is weary, and there is no searching of his understanding. He said that He gives power to the faint; and to them that have no might  he increases strength/

As He has promised, he  is still adding strength to the children of Israel as well as to the children of God’s Church. However, the carnal people, no matter how young they are, they will be tired, tired, and totally fall. God said that all flesh would be like a grass and would be withered.

But those who wait upon the Lord renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

The word, “waiting upon the Lord”  is to firmly believe the Lord for his coming to judge the world, and  establish his kingdom in heaven and earth.

God sometimes makes us understand his words through natural revelation. We know that there is a great amount of fire in the center of the earth, which is used as a material of our body.  The magnetic field is generated from the fire, and the magnetic field surrounds the whole earth, even if any harmful radio waves from the universe attack the earth, the magnetic field becomes a shield, and the earth still not faints and not  be weary
to fall.

Those who have received the Holy Spirit through believing in Jesus Christ are to be protected by the power of the Holy Spirit in spite of anything harmful coming from the world, because the Holy Spirit abides in the body of the earthen vessel, In the spiritual power, we hope and expect only the day of Christ coming.

If there is any of the Christians who suffered nearly as Jesus, the Apostle Paul may be the one of them.. In his confession, we are able to receive the power of the Spirit   and hear the secret of keeping faith while running to the end.

” But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.

8We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;

9Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;

10Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.

11For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.

12So then death worketh in us, but life in you.

We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak;

14Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you.

15For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God.

16For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.

17For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;

18While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal. ” (2Cor.4: 7-18)

Apostle Paul testified that the treasure in him is the Holy Spirit in his body, like a pottery. Through the Spirit of the Creator God, who is greater than the magnetic field surrounding and protecting the whole earth,  he could finish all ministries in this world by renewing the strength eagles not faints and not weary.

” I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:

8Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.. . “(II Timothy 4: 7-8)

Those who wait upon the  appearing of  the Lord are those as the prophet Isaiah testified.. Also, those who are looking forward the Lord’s coming shall not only be able to live by the power of the Holy Spirit while living on the earth, but will also receive crown of righteousness as the rulers as joint heirs with Christ ruling with him when Christ appears.

Because of this, Jesus said of believing in Him and receiving the Holy Spirit:

” And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.

10For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

11If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent?

12Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?

13If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him? “(Luke 11: 9-13)

According to the scientist, the magnetic field that protects the earth is gradually decreasing, which may lead to a crisis in the future. Likewise, do not quench  the Holy Spirit to end in us, but be filled with the Holy Spirit. Apostle Paul also testified that this is God’s will in Christ Jesus for us:

” Rejoice evermore.

17Pray without ceasing.

18In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

19Quench not the Spirit.

20Despise not prophesyings.

… Rejoice evermore.

17Pray without ceasing.

18In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

19Quench not the Spirit.

20Despise not prophesyings.

” (1 Thess 5:  16-19 … Ephesians 5:18)

In order to be filled with the Holy Spirit, we must hold on to the Word of God by trusting in the Word of God, which is the sword of the Holy Spirit, and believing on the promise of God, It is also necessary to live a life of meditating on the Word of God day and night. When Apostle Peter wrote unto them that are the children of God through the sprinkle of the blood of Jesus Christ, he testified saying   ” Who are kept by the power of God through faith “(1Peter 1:5)  Apostle Paul also gave the same testimony saying,
I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.“(Phil 4:13).

Amen! Hallelujah!
