Sunday 19 July 2015 - Lawrence Kirby's Notes

http://bible.com/111/psa.27.1-6.niv The Lord is my light and my salvation— whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life— of whom shall I be afraid? When the wicked advance against me to devour me, it is my enemies and my foes who will stumble and fall. Though an army besiege me, my heart will not fear; though war break out against me, even then I will be confident. One thing I ask from the Lord , this only do I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the Lord and to seek him in his temple. For in the day of trouble he will keep me safe in his dwelling; he will hide me in the shelter of his sacred tent and set me high upon a rock. Then my head will be exalted above the enemies who surround me; at his sacred tent I will sacrifice with shouts of joy; I will sing and make music to the Lord .

1 Chron 22 - David's declaration about house of the Lord - It will be a House of rest and peace not of war, bloodshed, striving, self-effort or self-righteousness.

We need to build in our hearts a House for the Name of Jesus - atmosphere / environment of peace and rest / where we lack nothing (Psalm 23)

When we live out of this centred House of the Lord the following things result:

• Confidence
  
• Safety
  
• Security
  
• Success
  
• No fear
  
• Joy
  

The Lord is my Shepherd, I lack nothing....let's be people who are building a house for the Lord in our secret place in our hearts and who live out of that peace and rest!
