ARISE and WALK
Jesus said it to the man with palsy...HE COMMANDED HIM TO...ARISE AND WALK
Luke 5:23-25 (King James Version)
23Whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Rise up and walk?
24But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power upon earth to forgive sins, (he said unto the sick of the palsy,) I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy couch, and go into thine house.
25And immediately he rose up before them, and took up that whereon he lay, and departed to his own house, glorifying God.
ARISE AND WALK? BUT HOW?
TO ARISE IS TO GET UP AND OUT OF SOMETHING.
MANY ARE IN NEED OF GETTING OUT OF THEIR BONDAGE TO SIN.
WALK IS TO WALK BY THE SPIRIT. ARISE FROM THE BONDAGE AND WALK IN THE LIGHT. A SPIRITUAL WALK. WALKING IN THE LORD.
Psalm 25 A GREAT AND WONDERFUL PSALM
UP LIFTING – ARISE UP
1Unto thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul.
LET ME NOT BE ASHAMED
2O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me.
3Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed: let them be ashamed which transgress without cause.
LET THEM BE ASHAMED…
SHOW ME, TEACH ME, LEAD ME, I WANT YOU
4Shew me thy ways, O LORD; teach me thy paths.
5Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.
6Remember, O LORD, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses; for they have been ever of old.
7Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness’ sake, O LORD.
DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO, WHERE TO GO, HOW TO LIVE?
8Good and upright is the LORD: therefore will he teach sinners in the way.
9The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way.
10All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.
HE FORGIVES THAT WE MAY GET OUT FROM UNDER THE LOAD
11For thy name’s sake, O LORD, pardon mine iniquity; for it is great.
THE LORD GUIDES THOSE WHO FEAR AND REVERENCE HIM
12What man is he that feareth the LORD? him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose.
REST FOR THE WEARY AND HEAVY LADEN
13His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth.
A SECRET PLACE?
14The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant.
MY RESCUE. KEEP LOOKING UP
15Mine eyes are ever toward the LORD; for he shall pluck my feet out of the net.
HELP FOR THE DEEPEST TROUBLES
16Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me; for I am desolate and afflicted.
17The troubles of my heart are enlarged: O bring thou me out of my distresses.
18Look upon mine affliction and my pain; and forgive all my sins.
19Consider mine enemies; for they are many; and they hate me with cruel hatred.
KEEP AND DELIVER ME. I PUT MY TRUST IN YOU
20O keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I put my trust in thee.
21Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on thee.
22Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.
1In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in thy righteousness.
2Bow down thine ear to me; deliver me speedily: be thou my strong rock, for an house of defence to save me.
3For thou art my rock and my fortress; therefore for thy name’s sake lead me, and guide me.
1I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.
2My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad.
3O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together.
