Behold The Father's Care
Contributed by James May on Nov 28, 2017 (message contributor)
Summary: God, our Father, watches over His children and will not suffer them to be lost but will speedily come to their rescue when they cry out to Him.
Cherubims - those mighty angels of God’s army who are at His beck and call
A cherubim stood with a flaming sword at the entrance to the Garden of Eden
Cherubims stood with their wings outstretched over the mercy seat in the tabernacle to keep Satan from bringing up the sins of the people that were covered by the mercy of God
Cherubims were stitched into the curtains before the veil of the Holy of Holies as a symbol of the awesome power of God to any who would dare approach Him
Cherubims were in Ezekiel’s vision of the wheel in the middle of the wheel, whereupon the glory of God rode.
My Father, at my cry, will ride on that cherubim, and fly swiftly, with the Holy Spirit as the wind beneath the wings of that cherubim, to bring instant help to my calamity.
My Father will bring darkness around him so that my enemies cannot tell from which direction God will bring judgment upon them. He will ride in a cloud as great and powerful avenger who hides His actions in a smoke screen. My troubles won’t know where He is or what He is doing, but all the while my Father will be coming against them to protect and deliver me.
God will thunder out of heaven, His voice shall speak, and the earth will tremble and those that trouble me will quake in their boots because of the fear that shall strike them like hot coals of fire out of the mouth of my Father. His arrows, or words, shall pierce to their heart and strike fear and dread into their minds.
God knows His own children. His mark is upon us. He will look down upon the waters (all people) and shall know us among them all and instantly pinpoint our position.
My father will draw me out from among them and deliver me with His mighty power.
He is my Deliverer, in Him will I trust.
My Father, the God of Heaven, will place my feet on the Rock and He will not let me be moved.
He will give me a place of honor, place his angels around me for protection and then dare any enemy to come near.
WHY DOES GOD DO THIS FOR ME?
Because God delights in me. I’m His child, I’m his adopted son. I am an heir and joint-heir to everything that God owns and God will not let me be harmed or defeated because of His love for me.
My Father will give me a “large” place. His provision for me is without end. He is Jehovah Jireh, my provider, He is MY:
· Elohim (God)
· Jehovah/Yahweh (the self-existent one: I AM)
· Jehovah-jireh (the Lord will provide)
· Jehovah-rapha (the Lord who heals)
· Jehovah-nissi (the Lord our banner)
· Jehovah-Shalom (the Lord our peace)
· Jehovah-ra-ha (the Lord my shepherd)
· Jehovah-tsidkenu (the Lord our righteousness)
· Jehovah-shammad (the Lord is present)
· Jehovah-Elohim (the Lord God)
· Jehovah Sabaoth (the Lord of hosts)
· El Elyon (the most high God)
· Adonai (our master)
· El Shaddai (Almighty God, the strength giver)
· El Olam (everlasting God)
Psalms 18:28-29
28 For thou wilt light my candle: the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness.
29 For by thee I have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped over a wall.
Jesus is the light of my live. He is the one who lights my fire. He is the one who will bring light into my dark world. He is my source, He is my Everything!
