TODAY'S MESSAGE:
I Am Full Of The Fury Of The Lord!
On this glorious Sunday of our Righteous Lord Jesus I want to emphasize what the Prophet Jeremiah proclaimed in Jeremiah 6:11 that: “I am full of the fury of the Lord!” This is an extremely important scripture for everyone to know because so many Christians today just do not understand how to fully serve our Lord during their lives. So many have allowed worldly people corrupted by evil to tell them how to serve God instead of listening to God Himself. The prophet Jeremiah shows us the level to which we should all be serving our God by being full of the same “fury” towards evil that God Himself possesses.
Of course the forces of evil want Christians to not oppose them and to instead tolerate whatever evil they perpetrate in the world however that is not the way of the Lord. In Isaiah 9:19 we can see the kind of fury that the Lord unleashes upon evil: “By the wrath of the Lord Almighty the land will be scorched and the people will be fuel for the fire; they will not spare one another.” Again in Psalm 34:16 we see how severely God deals with evildoers: “the face of the Lord is against those who do evil, to blot out their name from the earth.” And we only need to remember Sodom and Gomorrah (Genesis 19:24) to see what may be the greatest example of how severely God has dealt with people who have perpetrated evil in our world.
What we need to first understand is what causes God to have such fury and the Bible gives us some specific examples of what God hates starting with Proverbs 6:16:
“There are six things the Lord hates, seven that are detestable to him:
haughty eyes,
a lying tongue,
hands that shed innocent blood,
a heart that devises wicked schemes,
feet that are quick to rush into evil,
a false witness who pours out lies
and a person who stirs up conflict in the community."
We also find in Hosea 9:15: "Because of all their wickedness in Gilgal, I hated them there. Because of their sinful deeds, I will drive them out of my house.” In Psalm 5:4 David says about God: “For you are not a God who is pleased with wickedness; with you, evil people are not welcome. The boastful shall not stand before your eyes because you hate all evildoers.” And in Psalm 11:5 we are also told that: “The Lord examines the righteous, but the wicked, those who love violence, he hates with a passion.”
To be full of the fury of the Lord means to hate evil with the same passion that God hates evil. When St. Joan of Arc was on trial she was asked whether the Heavenly Beings that counseled her hated her English enemies. She replied simple that: “They love what our Lord loves, and hate what He hates.” David writing in Psalm 139 is much more explicit in detailing the kind of hatred he had for those that hate God: “Do not I hate them, O Lord, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee? I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies.” David calls his hatred “perfect hatred” which shows that hating what God hates is not only right but is actually part of being perfect in the eyes of God.
Ultimately what David says in Psalm 97:10 sums up how everyone who loves God should be: “Let those who love the Lord hate evil!”
Which the Apostle Paul restated in Romans 12:9 to challenge us to: "Let [our] love be genuine. Abhor what is evil!"
Many years ago I wrote a short poem based upon Proverbs 6:16 that asks the question whether it is truly wrong to hate in any way as the worldly people want everyone to think it is. The poem is below and should help everyone to always remember how important it is for us to passionately hate what God hates because Christians that are full of the fury of the Lord are exactly what is so desperately needed in our world today to overcome all the evil! Amen!
Is it Wrong to Hate?
There are many today that say that it is always wrong to Hate.
But is it not true that God Hates?
God Hates,
Haughty eyes.
God Hates,
A lying tongue.
God Hates,
Hands that shed innocent blood.
God Hates,
A heart that devises wicked schemes.
God Hates,
Feet that are quick to rush into evil.
God Hates,
A false witness that pours out lies.
God Hates,
A person who stirs up conflict in the community.
God Hates,
All that is wicked and evil!
Should we not try to be like God, then, and Hate what God Hates?

Really awesome and powerful message. Right now I am asking God for His blessings on the 12 junior high youth in our group I teach and pray and share with on Weds nights. Challenging us to get a "firm grip" and reliance on Him and on the "Sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God", and in Prayer....these are two offensive weapons God has given us to fight His battles and find victory and fruit in our lives.
Week 8 - Aid Yourself And God Will Aid You!

Week 9 - Jesus†Maria!
Good message. Thanks!
Another famous battle banner that heralded victory for the “first Christian Emperor of Rome” (Byzantine), was the Chi-Rho cross banner that Constantine I was given in a vision by God before a major battle in the 3rd Century. This banner is depicted on small bronze Roman coins of the time. Constantine’s mother, Helena, was a devout Christian who went to Jerusalem on a mission journey and reportedly found a piece of the true cross.

Good one, Ben.
Having been through the valley of the shadow of death with the loss of my daughter, and nearly with my wife and son, I did cry out to God, and felt forsaken for awhile. But He showed me enough of His light to keep me faithful to Him and to trust Him with all my heart and soul.

Thanks Ben. I am enjoying these!

Awesome poem and lesson. My favorite movie where this verse was preached and "owned" by Scottish gold medalist Eric Liddell, Chariots of Fire. Waiting on you Lord, Grant me steadfastness in my waiting!
Week 37 - I Can Do All Things Through Christ Who Strengthens Me!
..."then you better stay focused on Jesus". So true. The times I stopped fixing my eyes and heart on Him were the lowest points in my life. My fav verse in all the Bible goes right with your message today...Heb 12: 1 - 4:
"Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart. "
Thanks!
