24-1111P_GOD IS MINDFUL OF US PT-2 (TRUSTING UNTO GOD)

Psa 18:30  As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him. 

Psa 18:31  For who is God save the LORD? or who is a rock save our God? 

Psa 18:32  It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect. 

Pro 3:5  Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 

Pro 3:6  In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. 

Pro 3:7  Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil. 

Pro 3:8  It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones. 

Pro 3:9  Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase: 

Pro 3:10  So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine. 

Ecc 12:1  Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them;

 

Ecc 12:2  While the sun, or the light, or the moon, or the stars, be not darkened, nor the clouds return after the rain: 

Ecc 12:13  Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. 

Ecc 12:14  For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil. 

Isa 55:6  Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: 

Isa 55:7  Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. 

Php 2:2  Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. 

Php 2:3  Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. 

Php 2:4  Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. 

Php 2:5  Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 

Php 2:6  Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 

Php 2:7  But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: 

Php 2:8  And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. 

Php 2:9  Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 

Php 2:10  That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 

Php 2:11  And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. 

AND WE ARE LIKENED UNTO GOD'S LAMBS.

LAMB.AND.DOVE_  YAKIMA.WA  FRIDAY_  60-0805

  E-23    Now, the lamb... Now, the dove puts out a oil to keep hisself clean, and the lamb has lanolin to keep the weather off of him. And we are likened unto God's lambs.

I want you to notice what kind of a Lamb this was. This lamb... A lamb has to be led, and this precious Lamb that we're thinking about, He was led. "Not My will, but Thine be done." Led to the slaughter... Sometimes they...

Someone said, "Why was Jesus led to the Calvary?" You know the Bible said they led Him away, put a rope around His neck, and led Him away. Why? He was a Lamb of God. Why, was He borned in a manager? Because He was a Lamb. He had to be born in the barn. He was a Lamb, borned a Lamb, and led to the slaughter.
 
*THAT'S THE WAY THE DEVIL DOES IT. HE'S ALWAYS TRYING TO LEAD GOD'S PEOPLE TO THE SLAUGHTER

LAMB.AND.DOVE_  YAKIMA.WA  FRIDAY_  60-0805

  E-24    Did you ever go around a slaughter pen? When they go to slaughter sheep, what leads them up the to the slaughter block? A goat. They have a goat there that'll lead these sheep till it gets right up there at a certain place, till he will jump off and let the sheep go on in. That's what always been; that's what led Him to His slaughter, the goat. And the... Well, if you ever come time to slaughterer's has told me, the butchers, that butchered them, said, "They had to kill the goat, then he really kicked up a fuss." But he wants to lead the sheep, always to the slaughter.

That's the way the devil does it. He's always trying to lead God's people to the slaughter, the roadhouse, the nightclub, somewhere.
 
*BUT GOD'S GOT ONE LEADER FROM HIS--FOR HIS CHURCH, AND THAT'S THE DOVE, THE HOLY SPIRIT, IS THE LEADER OF GOD'S PEOPLE, THE LEADER.

LAMB.AND.DOVE_  YAKIMA.WA  FRIDAY_  60-0805

  E-25    Want you to notice, not only that, but He was a willing Lamb, a willing Lamb. A lamb only has one thing, and that's his fur, wool on him. But he--he's a willing lamb, all that he's got, he's willing to forfeit that. He forfeits his wool. That's the only thing that he has, but yet, for your sake and my sake, he forfeits what he's got.

Now, if we call ourselves, lambs, lambs of God, we're willing to forfeit our ideas to follow God. We are willing to. But oh, we are Americans can't be led. No. "Aw, sir, we went away to school, and we learned how to lead. We can't be led. We learned our Ph.D., and double L.D., and so forth, and we know all about it, and we know how to lead, so the dove can't lead us." When we've got that kind of an attitude, why, we can't be led. "We've got to lead the people." But God's got one Leader from His--for His church, and that's the Dove, the Holy Spirit, is the Leader of God's people, the Leader.
 
*AND YOU FORFEIT EVERYTHING OF THE WORLD, NO MATTER HOW GOOD IT LOOKS… YOUR VIRTUE IS WHAT YOU'RE COUNTED BY

CORINTHIANS.BOOK.OF.CORRECTION_  JEFF.IN  SUNDAY_  57-0414

E-53   …..And you forfeit everything of the world, no matter how good it looks, how pretty it looks, and how fascinating it looks.
 

CORINTHIANS.BOOK.OF.CORRECTION_  JEFF.IN  SUNDAY_  57-0414

  E-54    Your virtue is what you're counted by. You don't say "Oh, hallelujah, I--I know I got it because I did this. Hallelujah," and enough temper to fight a buzz saw.
 
 
*YOU'VE GOT TO FORFEIT YOUR IDEA.

LAMB.AND.DOVE_  YAKIMA.WA  FRIDAY_  60-0805

  E-26    But when we get to know so much, we know so much theology, then the lamb can't lead us, because it's against our ideas, and we just won't put up with it. You've got to forfeit your idea.
 
E-49    Dove and Lamb... While you're listening, the most outstanding Scriptures, one of them, that I can think of, when Jesus said, "Father (think of it), Father, for their sake I sanctify Myself." Think of it. "Father, for their sake I sanctify Myself." What was He doing? Setting the example; He was a Lamb. What did He do? He had a right to a home; He was a Man. He had a right to be married; He was a Man. He had a right to good clothes; He was a--a Man. But He sanctified Himself; He forfeited. He could've--He could've come down the corridors of glory, a full statued man, with an Angelic band. Sure. But He sanctified Himself.

He could've at least been born in a nice clean bed somewhere, but He was born in a manger over a manure pile, in a borrowed manger. But He sanctified Himself. Why? He was the Lamb. See, friends, we got to back to assembly line religions and so forth, and all these things we're getting away from the real things. Humble yourself. Keep humble: "Lord, sanctify me."
 
SO HE LIVED A SANCTIFIED LIFE, AND FORFEITED EVERY WORLDLY PLEASURE FOR THEIR SAKE.

LAMB.AND.DOVE_  YAKIMA.WA  FRIDAY_  60-0805

  E-50    Jesus was training some men that was going to take the gospel to all the world, twelve men. So He lived a sanctified life, and forfeited every worldly pleasure for their sake. We ought to forfeit our worldly dressing, and our worldly pleasures, and things like that, for the sake of the people we're trying to lead to God, the outside world. Let the Dove come in tonight. Sanctify yourself, that the Dove of real faith will come in and take His abode.

Php 2:11  And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Psa 37:5  Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass. 

Psa 37:6  And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday. 

Psa 37:7  Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.

Psa 37:9  For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth. 

Psa 37:10  For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be.
