Pastor's April 2024 Letter

We love you,

Pastor Ron and Betsy



Dear Beloved of Faith Family Fellowship,

 

           Greetings in the Name of the Lord.  This month I would like to share with you on the subject of Walking in the Counsel of God.

    Let’s look at the Four Aspects of Jesus we are to Behold –

           I would like to begin this study by giving some of the background of Psalm One.  This Psalm is classified under the heading known as the “Wisdom Psalm.”  It is considered one of the Teaching and Instruction Psalm.  Psalms One is also under the category known as the “Psalm of Righteousness” or the “Psalm of the Righteous.”

            This particular Psalm outlines two types of Counsel:

            1. The Counsel of God - God's System

            2. The Counsel of the Ungodly - the World's System

  1. The Counsel of God – God’s System

  1. The Counsel of God – God’s Syste

            We are not going to walk in both counsels at the same time.  We must make a choice as to what counsel we are going to walk in.  For we are going to walk in one or the other.  The counsel of the world is following after the world’s advise and plans.  The counsel of God is following after God’s will, plan, and purpose.  The world’s counsel is sense knowledge.  It is unstable, unreliable, and undependable.  The counsel of God is revelation knowledge from God’s Word.  It is stable, reliable, and dependable.  Psalm 33:11 says, “The counsel of the Lord stands for ever.”  Isaiah 33:6 says, “Wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy times and strength of salvation.”

            In verses 1-2 there are listed five conditions with promise that must be met:

            1. Walketh - This is our vital position - our outward life & conduct.

            2. Standeth - This is our present position - our being established in the present Truth - and attitude and position of authority.

            3. Sitteth - This is our legal position - our legal position seated in Christ - an attitude and position of security and confidence.

            We will continue on this subject next month.We will look at the fourth and fifth conditions to walking in the Counsel of God.Walking in the Counsel of God will keep you walking in God’s wisdom, His ability and His strength. And the blessing and promises of God’s Word will be the fulfillment of your life!

   

 

               

     

               

  1. Happiness: is outward or external.
