Highlights:


Time mark: 00:30

Psalm 119:132 Look thou upon me and be merciful unto me as you do unto those that love Thy name.

Psalm 119:133 Order my steps in Thy word and let not any iniquity have dominion over me.

We must pray and act accordingly, "Lord, deliver me!" so that we are not giving our self over to iniquity, bad habits, bad people, bad things. Nothing should cause for us to be seperated from our heavenly father.


Time mark: 6:11

Psalm 119:134 Deliver me from the oppression of man so will I keep Thy precepts.


Time mark: 9:10

Psalm 119:135 Make Thy face to shine upon Thy servant and teach me Thy statutes.


Time mark: 11:17

Concluding verse in this passage:

Psalm 119:136 Rivers of waters run down my eyes, because they keep not Thy law.

Check yourself and say, "Is this because others keep not God's law, or are my eyes always swollen up because I'm not keeping the law of the Lord, because I'm not adhering and obeying to what the Spirit is saying to me?"

There are times when we sit in places and cry because we have been disobedient. We know who God is, how great He is, we know what God has done for us, but we may be choosing foolishly, doing what we want to do, operating in our flesh, and not operating in the Spirit of the law that God has created for us to live an enriched life.


Time mark: 16:16

Don't ever think a blessing just happen, just to happen. Somebody does something. Blessings are the reaction of someone's action. You got to put in some work and you've got to be disciplined.


Time mark: 16:39

I will follow the precepts of the Lord because there are blessings to being obedient. There are blessings to being disciplined. There are blessing to making the choice to say, "I yearn after the commandments that God has for my life so that I can be blessed and highly favored."
