He Is Ransom

From the writing of Psalm 55

He ransoms me and keeps me safe

    from the battle waged against me,

    though many still oppose me.

19 

God, who has ruled forever,

    will hear me and humble them. Interlude

For my enemies refuse to change their ways;

    they do not fear God.

He which is enemies who dwell over me from the battle which is waged against the inner and outer being of who I am in spirit and in physical bodies through men and God still have oppositions against the Father and the good of men which includes in me

God, who has ruled authorities over nations and worldwide forever,

    will hear me in his works he has shown many and performed though his servants and humble them. Interlude

For my enemies refuse to change their ways;

    they do not fear God. The draw pleasure in the wrongs they do in being servants of the world and unruly sin not in a faith walk with God living a godly rule

What Does Psalm 55:6 Mean? ►

I said, “Oh, that I had wings like a dove! I would fly away and be at rest.

Psalm 55:6(NASB)

Verse Thoughts

David is the author of Psalm 55, and he bemoans the shocking fact that his own familiar friend, whom he loved and trusted, betrayed him. A trusted companion, with whom David had enjoyed hours of sweet fellowship turned on him and was unimaginably disloyal. David and his bosom companion had spent much time together, in one another’s company. They had communed together, fellowshiped together, and walked together in the house of God. No wonder David’s heart was in such anguish.

It was not simply a difference of opinion that cause these two friends to go their separate ways. It was not life’s circumstances that had caused them to be detached from the close bond that had anchored them together in spirit. This was not a parting of the ways, due to the ebb and flow of life, that so often happens when circumstances dictate that two kindred spirits are separated from one another. 

This was a deliberate, premeditated betrayal of a trusted friend, that caused David to cry out, “My heart is in anguish within me. The terrors of death have fallen upon me. Fear and trembling has come upon me. Horror has overwhelmed me.” It is no surprise that David cried out in great dismay and deep distress, “Oh, that I had wings like a dove! I would fly away and be at rest.”

This man of God longed that he could escape the terrible situation and distressing betrayal of his beloved friend. So shocking was this soul-mate’s disloyalty that David would have fled to the desert to find solace. I wonder if David’s thoughts travelled back to the wilderness wanderings of the children of Israel, when God provided the comfort and strength his forefathers needed, as they trudged around the desert for 40 years.

I wonder if his thoughts travelled back to the ark of Noah, after the grueling experience of the flood, when a little dove was released through the window of the ark and was the only bird that brought comfort and hope back to Noah and his family, as they waited for the waters of judgement to subside. Perhaps David’s mind retreated to the sacrificial offering of two turtledoves that Israel was commanded to perform, on certain high days and holy days. 

I wonder if David considered the dove as a symbol of peace, as he reflected on the Spirit of God, Who brooded over the dark waters, in the beginning, and brought order out of chaos… as God spoke the world into being and sustained His creation by the might of His power. I wonder if David had an understanding that the dove would become the most familiar symbol of God’s sustaining power, grace, and comfort in the body of Christ.. or if at that moment he simply saw a little dove, fluttering into his courtyard.

I wonder if David knew that the Psalm that he was writing was Messianic. I wonder if he knew it was a signpost that points us to Jesus, and His familiar friend and beloved disciple – Judas Iscariot, who would betray the Lord of Glory for thirty pieces of silver. I wonder if David knew that the Psalm he was writing in his deep distress would be a peculiar pointer to great David’s greater Son – God’s Anointed Saviour, Who would be despised and rejected of men – a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief – so that the fallen race of man could be redeemed by faith.

David wanted to run away from the dire circumstances that caused such deep despair. He wanted to flee far from the person who had caused him such anguish of heart. He wanted the horrors of life that surrounded him, at that time, to be removed far away… but David had to learn that you can’t run away from the circumstances of life, you can’t escape from those that would do you harm, you can’t live in this world and be free from trials and tribulations, you can’t fly away to a deserted place and be at rest, for we live in a fallen world, we inhabit a fallen body and we live among a fallen race of fallen creatures.

No! The only place to run is into the arms of Jesus. The only escape is to be positioned in Christ, by faith, and empowered by His Holy Spirit. The only way to be at rest is to abide in Christ and to have Him abiding in us, every moment of the day – as we walk in spirit and truth, as we trust in the Lord with all our heart, as we keep self nailed to the cross, and as we die to self and live for Him.

For turning to the deform world to the vision of God is like turning to a pastor and saying do you know God? Knowing that a Pastor needs a specific calling and guide and guidance. To be trained with the knowledge to speak brave in the word of God you can not just claim to be a pastor or healer it needs proof of the assessment and assignment that was given

Then once you have provided your case and showed your proof against you to state your case your claim and your theory without any of that you have no validation of theory, and case or even your own story you’re trying to share with other in point run to the father and claim his gift of love In who he is in all he does and in his walk in faith beside God in honor of God and respect of love he showed by sending us his son to that of the cross

We ALL Are Citizens Of Heaven

But we are citizens of heaven, where the Lord Jesus Christ lives. And we are eagerly waiting for him to return as our Savior.

Philippians 3:20 NLT

But there’s far more to life for us. We’re citizens of high heaven! We’re waiting the arrival of the Savior, the Master, Jesus Christ, who will transform our earthy bodies into glorious bodies like his own. He’ll make us beautiful and whole with the same powerful skill by which he is putting everything as it should be, under and around him.

Philippians 3:20 MSG

We live at the title Citizen in many aspects the most important of these and most honorable one is that we are citizens of heaven.

What is Heaven?

Heaven is often described as a “higher place”, the holiest place, a Paradise, in contrast to hell or the Underworld or the “low places”, and universally or conditionally accessible by earthly beings according to various standards of divinity, goodness, piety, faith, or other virtues or right beliefs or simply the will …

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heaven_in_Christianity

Where we reside(live) we are citizens

Jesus resides in heaven our most honorable title of being a residing citizen is in our place in heaven with Jesus in his kingdom. This is what he promised us when he gave his life for all.

So much evil works and bad knowledge is going on in our work right now and making some loose their thoughts, focus and paths; while it is redirecting the focus to Christ in much stronger ways, bringing those people from the lost into the truth.

Many of us have fallen away from the focus of God in being a citizen of heaven and have held steadily to being a citizen of the town,state,country, group whatever it is that we have become a citizen of and pronouncing it as a big importance to who you are. Many of us sometimes even believers and followers of Christ have also forgotten what true citizenship is being a citizen of heaven. You wouldn’t be had God not thought of you, but he did and he gave you a forever place in heaven for you to call your home, thus making you a citizen of heaven.

A lot of what’s going on in the world currently where we of all mankind live was written that these things must happen in the Bible by God long before they ever cam about.

However when it was taught to us a promise was made that Christ would come back once these things took us lace and that he would give us all a place set just for us in heaven this we were promised new life with him and an everlasting eternal life giving us citizenship into heaven. This being the greatest of all.

Many of us who have journeyed to knew heights and realms in new focus from our travel with Christ have refocused on the senses that the way things are these things must play out however evil and hard they are to be a part of by the world and have come to be closer with God in hope of finding that peace he gave us. Seeing the works of the end times when Christ promised his return.

This is where he has given us citizenship to heaven and we eagerly and earnestly await his return to earth and taking us home as our savior. That is when our role of being a citizen will go into full affect. You can only be a citizen of heaven through Jesus.

Our current happenings we see going on around us are bringing some to Jesus while working support stronger into believers of the lost making us eager about awaiting Christ’s return.

Though this is NOT the rapture, what fear and discomfort we feel now and things we have trouble taking in that are upsetting and hard to see will only be so much more times worse when rapture hits so widen your knowledge in his word and his glory and be ready it won’t be mentally settling more than what we are going through now. However it will put into affect our honor of being that citizen of heaven.

“Jesus is our Redeemer. To redeem something is to pay a price to win it back. Slaves were redeemed (or ransomed) when someone paid for them to be set free. Because of the original sin of our first parents, we were slaves. We had lost the right to be children of God and heirs of heaven. Sin and death held us in bondage. Jesus set us free by paying the price of his own blood shed on the cross. Through his obedience and suffering he brought us back to God, to God’s grace and life. We say he made atonement for our sins. In other words, he made us to be “at one” with God again. He repaired our friendship with God. Now we can overcome sin and share divine life eternally with God in heaven. This is the hope of all who call Jesus Savior.

Jesus was able to be Savior because he was fully divine and fully human. As God, he was the only one powerful enough to make up for the offense of the human race. As a human being, he was able to represent us. So Jesus freely took on himself the sins of the world and ransomed us by his sacrifice.

Through faith and baptism we are united with the death and resurrection of Jesus. At each Eucharist we celebrate that Jesus has set us free. During Mass he makes his saving actions present again, and we are able to enter into them. Each year during the seasons of Lent and Easter, we recall and celebrate God’s saving acts.

The cross, once the instrument of torture and death, has become a symbol of God’s love for us. We set it on buildings, display it on walls, and wear it around our necks. We bless ourselves with the sign of the cross.

Someone expressed what Jesus means to us this way: “In Jesus all broken lines unite; in him all scattered sounds are gathered into harmony.”

Who is Jesus Our Saviour?

No question about it. He is Savior. Then in Romans 10:9, Scripture declares that our salvation is secured by our confession that Jesus is Lord: “If you declare with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.”

JESUS CHRIST OUR SAVIOR

Taken from Author: Ron Graham

Jesus Our Saviour

—Justification, sanctification, redemption

2 Jesus our Saviour Makes us Right with God

We call Jesus our Saviour because he justifies us. Our “justification” or “righteousness” means being counted by God as righteous, even though we have sinned. This is made possible by virtue of the vicarious suffering which Jesus Christ endured on the cross. The term “vicarious” means “taking the place of another to be a substitute”. God accepts Christ’s punishment instead of ours, and this sets us right with God again.We are “justified” or “made righteous”.

3 Jesus our Saviour Cleanses All Our Darkness

We call Jesus our Saviour because he sanctifies us. Our “sanctification” or “holiness” means being made holy and clean when we were unholy and unclean in God’s sight. But there is only one thing that can cleanse us: “The blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin” (1John 1:7). This statement is made in this context: “God is light and in him there is no darkness at all” (1John 1:5). If there is any darkness in us, we cannot have fellowship with God. Jesus “sanctifies” us and purges all our darkness away so that we are only light. We are “sanctified” or “made holy”.

4 Jesus our Saviour Paid the Price for Our Freedom

We call Jesus our Saviour because he redeems us. Our “redemption” is understood when we look back at our ruined lives all marred by sin. We can see that we no longer belonged to God, but to Satan. We must say with Paul, “I am carnal, sold under sin” (Romans 7:14). The term “carnal” means “of the flesh”. Of course, God did not sell us, we sold ourselves like the people of old who “sold themselves to do evil” (1Kings 21:20, 2Kings 17:17).

If we were not properly regarded as belonging to Satan, why should God have determined to send us into the eternal punishment “prepared for the devil and his angels” (Matthew 25:41)? Why should we share Satan’s destiny if Satan did not own us? And why should God’s Son die on the cross for us? Indeed, we became Satan’s possession when we sinned. God recognises that, and so should we.

If we belonged to Satan, we would be punished with him, unless God provided for our rescue and escape, and unless we accepted that way and reached out to God for it. But God would not steal us from Satan, and if God was to take us back, a price had to be paid.

This was not to satisfy Satan, but to satisfy God. God would not pay evil for evil. God would not pay evil for good. But he would pay good for evil, that evil might be overcome. This payment for our rescue is called “redemption” or “purchase”.

5 He is Our Only Saviour

We conclude our lesson by stating that Jesus our Saviour is our only possible saviour, justifier, sanctifier, and redeemer.

Only Jesus our Saviour was able to rescue us from slavery to sin and from the wrath to come. God saw no other thing but the blood of his only begotten Son, as sufficient price and sacrifice to justify our salvation from sin. Yet God in his goodness so loved us, that he gave us his one and only Son (John 3:16). Therefore the gospel says, “You have been bought with a price” (1Corinthians 6:20, 7:23), and “God purchased the church with his own blood” (Acts 20:28).

The heavenly song praises Jesus, “You purchased for God with your blood men from every nation” (Revelation 5:9). As Jesus our Saviour faced his own death, he spoke of his “blood… shed for many for the remission of sins” (Matthew 26:28). Nobody else could have done that.

The Bible says, “Behold the kindness and the severity of God” (Romans 11:22). God’s severity demands that a price be paid. But God’s kindness pays the price that we could not find. And such a price! The blood of his only Son. Our freedom from slavery has been purchased. We have been “redeemed” by the precious blood of Jesus our Saviour (1Peter 1:18-19).

The True Reason He Was Sent

God sent his Son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through him.

John 3:17 NLT

For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.

John

For God did not send his Son into the world to be its judge, but to be its savior.

John 3:17 GNT

“This is how much God loved the world: He gave his Son, his one and only Son. And this is why: so that no one need be destroyed; by believing in him, anyone can have a whole and lasting life. God didn’t go to all the trouble of sending his Son merely to point an accusing finger, telling the world how bad it was. He came to help, to put the world right again. Anyone who trusts in him is acquitted; anyone who refuses to trust him has long since been under the death sentence without knowing it. And why? Because of that person’s failure to believe in the one-of-a-kind Son of God when introduced to him.

John 3:17 MSG

The lord is our strength and beginning in new life he walks a along side us even when we falter and stray in sin. Believers wait eagerly for Christ’s return as he had promised at death on the cross. He brings us to salvation through his death upon the cross and gives us new lives of no sin and renewals that we may rise above ourselves once again.That we move forward in faith and building of a relationship with him knowing that we are safe and not grow tired and worn within ourselves from the sin of the world and of life that we know we are safe to walk along with him in faith and not fall sick or faint that we shall remain in a new life like a newborn baby just into the world for he has given us new life in him.

Christ didn’t have a normal journey in life, not any one of us do there is no normal. However Christ had the hardest. In his life he had to find a small group of people he truly could confide in these people were his friends who later became his deciples. On this journey we all get lost in our mistakes and falling short in sin. Though for Christ he had the knowledge that he was meant to die on the cross to save everyone in mankind and give the only thing he had to give, his very own life.

2 Corinthians 5:14-15 New King James Version (NKJV)

14 For the love of Christ compels us, because we judge thus: that if One died for all, then all died; 15 and He died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again.

He had no true full understanding at first about the reasons of his father however he knew he couldn’t disrespect him and back out, that this was something that he must do for not only his father and himself but for all the human race.

He died to save all mankind from their own wrong doing and sin so that they may build a relationship with him and live for him sharing the news of his salvation with all they journey with in their very own life.Christ died for our sins, just as the Scriptures said. He was buried, and he was raised from the dead on the third day, just as the Scriptures said.

Jesus told us that he would rise in three days after he was hung that he died to bring salvation to all man kind as the scriptures have prophesied of Jesus own words of that of what God his father spoke to him in his final hours before his death. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. For God did not send his Son into the world to be its judge, but to be its savior.God knows not of judgments he is not a judging person but that of a very loving person. He doesn’t like boasting or mockery or haters as we as humans falter and do. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.

“This is how much God loved the world: He gave his Son, his one and only Son. And this is why: so that no one need be destroyed; by believing in him, anyone can have a whole and lasting life. God didn’t go to all the trouble of sending his Son merely to point an accusing finger, telling the world how bad it was. He came to help, to put the world right again.He came to be our salvation giving us peace and freedoms and be our savior.
