INSIGHTS & NOTES FROM
Insights From "Church, Read The Book Of Acts, & Get Ready!" by Donnie Swaggart - Chapter 211/15/2021 "THE RIVER"
Psalms 46:1 - 4 "...it is possible that it was written by the prophet Isaiah during the siege of Jerusalem by the Assyrians (II Chronicles, Chapter 23; II Kings, Chapter 18; Isaiah, Chapters 36-39)." "...it pertains to the siege of Jerusalem by the Antichrist (Zech. 14:1-13) when the Lord will defend Jerusalem & defeat the Antichrist in a great victory." "TROUBLE" "...we as believers face trouble in our own lives. In the Hebrew the word trouble means 'distress, a situation of extreme discomfort, affliction, or anguish.'" "There is no such thing as a life of ease & comfort as a believer, though we can have peace in the midst of trouble. Still, trouble & affliction are going to come our way." I Peter 4:12. "We are in a spiritual war, & Satan is not going to let up. His attacks cover every aspect of one's life & living - spiritual, physical, financial, emotional & domestical." "...our biggest problem is us. We make foolish decisions; we listen to people with their bad advice. We don't seek the Lord, & we let our flesh rule, but believe me, the flesh must be fed, & it's never good." "The Lord also allows trouble to come our way to teach dependence, trust & faith, & even more so to teach us how fallible we are. Deuteronomy 8:2." "'With the believer, everything is a test. How will we acts? How will we react?" "REFUGE" "The word refuge means a 'place of safety & protection, security & a place of hope.' He is the one; we are to run to Him, & we are to place our trust in Him. His refuge is complete & secure. His refuge provides for us everything we need during the time of trouble." "STRENGTH" "Strength in the Hebrew means 'power & might,' & the greatest expression of His power & might was His victory over Satan on Calvary's Cross & His glorious resurrection." "A VERY PRESENT HELP" "...the Lord is our help now. He is a now God:
"WE WILL NOT FEAR" "...we need not fear, for the Lord is working for us, fighting for us, providing for us, & interceding for us." "THE RIVER OF GOD" "This river is the river of God. It refers to the great river that will flow out from under the sanctuary in the coming kingdom age." "The river is a type of the Holy Spirit, of which water represents the Holy Spirit as life." "The only true life there is, is the life which flows from the Holy Spirit. The river will sustain you, the river will bring joy & gladness of heart, & the river can take that which is barren & bring forth life." "The river - the Holy Spirit - is the strength & power of the believer & the church. We must get into the river, & we must let the river get into us, for that is where we find true life." Church, Read The Book Of Acts, & Get Ready!, by Donnie Swaggart, pgs. 161 - 167.
