Our Help is in the Name of the Lord

It has been a long time since I put up one of Mother Wilson’s teaching from her book “Hidden under the Shadow.” Mother Wilson was one of my mentors when I was a young and very inexperience evangelist. Mother Wilson has been gone to be with the Lord since 2005 and I truly do miss her.

However, I want to share with you her book that she gave me, 20 years ago, long before internet. No one really read her book; however, I believe it was of God that I should share her work with you. I hope that this will be blessing to you as it has been for me.




OUR HELP IS IN THE NAME OF THE LORD
Chapter 6


“If it had not been the Lord, who was on our side, now my Israel say: The our enemies would have swallowed us up quick. When their wrath was kindled against us, Then the Waters, had overwhelmed us, the stream hand gone over our soul. Blessed be the Lord, who hath not given us as prey to their teeth. Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowler. The snare is broken and we are escaped. Our Help is in the name of the Lord, who made Heaven and earth.”


We are on a journey in life. Sometimes we do not understand that God has ordered our life from the time of birth, or I should say, From the beginning of time, we were there. So He knows, Thank you Jesus. We have to learn how to follow Him. God has a purpose in everything He has provided to help us walk with Him. Sometimes of discouragement sets in and we ask: Why has God let men rise up against us, when we were walking with Him, and doing all we know how to do? Hear me well today: God Let’s them. If it had not been the Lord who was on our side, when men rose up against us and their wrath was kindled against us. They could have destroyed us, but they didn’t and it was because the Lord was on our side. Read Psalms 102. I know I have asked: What did I do wrong, how these things happen to me? If God is on My side, how can the wrath be kindled against Me? I feel good today, knowing that He was always there with me and still is. Everyday when the sun rises, find your place under the Shadow, and know without a doubt, that Wings are wrapped around you, protecting you, gently guiding you, into regions not of your own understanding. I know we look at the mess we sometimes get ourselves into, but know that your soul is escaped like a bird from the snare that the enemy sets for both you and I.


We are not suffering, because we have sin in our lives, but because we have a made-up mind to walk with the Lord. He will destroy our enemies; He is going to make a way, out of what we see as no way out. For His Glory, Our help is in the Name of the Lord. He is the same yesterday, today and forever, Heb. 13:8. Trust Him when everything is going well, trust Him when you have no friends, when you have no food, trust Him. When we cry our in distress, He covers us with His Shadow. Jesus has broken the snare, we can look back on our snare, and know that No one could have gotten us out of that except it be the Almighty. Our trust is in the Lord, for He has done great things, whereof we are glad.

So try not to justify yourselves, don’t try to make people understand what is going on, God knows and He cares, He has heard our cries. There is no doubt in my mind, that the snares are broken and we are escaped.
“HOLD FAST TO THAT WHICH THOU HAST, AND LET NO MAN TAKE YOUR CROWN.” Rev.3:11. The Lord Jesus is standing before you saying: “I AM ALPHA AND WHICH WAS, AND WHICH IS TO COME. THE ALMIGHTY.” Rev. 1:8. God is on your side, and always has been, Trust and believe and you shall receive. Even so Lord Jesus, come! A-MEN

Musical Instruments in the Bible

Yesterday I told you that musical instruments recorded in the Bible were one of the earliest things in the Bible documented. Then I gave you Genesis 4:21. I personally feel that in order to know how to be a minister of music, I must have a great knowledge, of the Word of God, concerning music. I have often notice that most Christian who are ministers of music; do not know the importance of what God has called them forth to do, if they did, they would see the importance of their craft and would pursue their ministry for the Lord with passion.

As I mention yesterday the earliest kinds of musical instruments were the tabret, which is a string instrument (which was the beginning of the harp), the cymbal and the pipe. From these instruments, later inspirational work of art began in the creation of the type of instruments that we enjoy listening today.

Some of these instruments were made of wood for example II Samuel 6:5 King James Version
4. And they brought it out of the house of Abinadab which was at Gibeah, accompanying the ark of God: and Ahio went before the ark.
5. And David and all the house of Israel played before the Lord on all manner of instruments made of fir wood, even on harps, and on psalteries, and on timbrels, and on cornets, and on cymbals.

However, Uzzah death, cause by the Lord, stopped the merry making around the ark and cause the worship in church, to be cut short because they were not handling the ministry of the Ark properly. Uzzah had place his hand on the ark and the Ark was being transported in a wagon. Therefore, God took Uzzah up out of here and there laid Uzzah dead by the Ark of the Covenant.

What does this show us?
It shows us that a person had better learn proper ways in which to worship when it comes to God. Therefore, a wise minister of music and one who loves the Lord will make it a point to study the Word of God, in the way he or she should worship God.
Why should we take the time to Study the Word of God?
So there will not be a death-feeling atmosphere during the worship service. Now that is an Encouraging Word! Selah, “Think About That!”
