Psalm 14

There are two distinctly different systems of life at work in the earth today; only two. All of our thoughts, opinions, likes or dislikes, attitudes, beliefs, associations, and relationships come from the acknowledgements we embrace from God or Satan. Even the fact that you may have read the preceding sentence with doubt of God or Satan’s existence is proof that it is so!

If you take one day in your life and force every thought or action to align its origin with God or Satan, what would the majority of your acknowledgements be? As Christians we wrap up all of our thoughts and actions up into a nice little package held together with this statement, “I believe in God!” I do not want to unwrap the illusion of your belief system, or tarnish the halo of your superior Christianity, but I though you should know; the Bible states that even the demons believe in God and it makes them tremble. (James 2:19)

What you and I truly believe is being applied to our lives throughout the daily existence we enjoy through acknowledgements. The dictionary defines acknowledge as the act of showing or expressing recognition or the realization of something. What we believe in we acknowledge through our choices and actions. There is a difference between God’s system of faith, and Satan’s system of fear. You and I acknowledge it through everything we do.

Psalm 14:1-7, identifies the difference between those who acknowledge God, and those who do not. Look at the words of David here, “The fool says in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt, their deeds are vile; there is no one who does good. The LORD looks down from heaven the sons of men to see if there are any who understand, any who seek God. All have turned aside, they have together become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one. Will evildoers never learn—those who devour my people as men eat bread and who do not call on the LORD ? There they are, overwhelmed with dread, for God is present in the company of the righteous. You evildoers frustrate the plans of the poor, but the LORD is their refuge. Oh, that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion! When the LORD restores the fortunes of his people, let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad!”

Make this affirmation with me by inserting your name where you see mine: Greg Manuel is no fool! Pastor Greg Manuel knows who God is and refuses the corrupt and vile as his company of counsel. Greg Manuel seeks God and His understanding. Pastor Greg Manuel will do good and live free from the depression of dread. Greg Manuel is made righteous by the Blood of Christ and is an invited guest into the presence of God to see the mysteries of God and receive His revelation. Pastor Greg Manuel takes refuge in the Lord. Salvation is coming to Greg Manuel!

Blessings and peace be upon you today.
