Let the Word Go Forth Psalm

The Battle is the Lords
by Dana G Smith
~~~

Let the words go forth, let my testimony speak thusly,
In the times of distress and persecution, will I seek thee O Lord God.
Awaken, Oh my soul, know this…
The Way of Man is Futile, seek it not,
But the Way of the Lord, yea, it brings forth righteousness.
~~~

For such as be blessed of him shall inherit the earth; and they that be cursed of him shall be cut off. The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand. I have been young and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.
(Psa 37:22-25)
~~~

As rain upon the ground, so is the Way of the Lord.
It refreshes and bringeth forth plenty.
Oh man, will you understand that vanity dieth,
Each age after its own, behold, it is no more.
Yea, know this; The Lord is plenteous in Mercy,
He alone is everlasting, from everlasting to everlasting, he is God
His Way is perfect; all those who seek him are wise.
All those who seek him shall feed on His goodness, yea his mercy.
~~~

And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know. Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way? Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
(Joh 14:3-6)
~~~

The Lord delivers the righteous, yea; he delivers the saints.
Those who trust in him, they shall know his defense.
In the days of evil, the Lord is the stay,
In these days, the righteous shall find safety,
During the days of God’s wrath, he shall hide his own, those who trust in him.
In the day of trouble I will seek thee, O Lord God, Most High.
~~~

And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
(Mat 28:18-20)
~~~

In thee and thee alone do I trust my God, my deliverer?
While the wicked encompass me about, I will trust in my defense, who is my God.
I do not look to man, the son of flesh for my strength.
I do not trust in the arm of flesh, the vain ways of man.
But I look to the Lord of Hosts,
~~~

Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD. For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited. Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is. For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.
(Jer 17:5-8)
~~~

He alone is my Salvation…
He alone is my Defense…
He alone is my Stay…
He alone is my God…
Blessed be the Lord, who is my banner, I shall never be moved.
Blessed be the Lord, In whom I trust, I shall never be removed from his sight

For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.
(1Co 15:53-58)

Finale “He Alone is God”!
*
Let the wicked forsake his way,
Let the righteous flee to their God,
And as for me, I will trust in the Lord, the Lord God of Hosts,
Yea, it is he who maketh war on my behalf.
This is the Lord, mighty, Strong, and greatly to be feared.
He alone is God, full of Grace, full of Mercy.
Ready to save, yet able to judge and send his judgments upon the earth
This is the Lord, the governor of the nations, yea I say, fear ye the Lord.
For this is the beginning of Wisdom.

The Furnace of the LORD
by Dana G Smith
~~~

The Lord will go through the land,
With a sword will he cut deeply,
Yea, the righteous and the wicked will be affected,
Yea, the day the Lord sends the ‘slayer’.
Cut off! Cut off!
Anguish in the hearts,
Feeble in the knees,
Panic in mind, heart, and soul.
~~~

And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
(Rev 19:13-16)
~~~

For on this day,
All will know the Lord has done this!
This is the day He sent judgment to cut off those in the land.
Weep, howl as others have done.
In ancient times, the Lord had done this,
Yea, upon Israel, Babylon, Sodom, and others.
Will ye know why?
Can you understand?
~~~

And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
(Rev 20:4-6)
~~~

For the Lord cuts off the idols,
Yea he destroys the wickedness in the land,
For the day is come.
Let the prophets howl in anguish,
Let the righteous prepare themselves,
For the terror has come upon the land.
Will you escape?
Where would you go?
~~~

He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still. And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.
(Rev 22:11-15)
~~~

For the Lord knoweth your plans!
Behold he rises,
The sword is loose in the land,
The ‘day of vengeance’ is come.
The iniquity has reached her end.
For the fire of the fury of the Lord
Is poured out upon the land,
Look too, ye nations,
Prepare yourselves all ye rich,
Turn too all ye proud,
For it is poured out.
It will burn all,
It will purge out,
It will bring to an end thy ways,
Yea, thy ways Oh harlot are come to an end.
~~~

And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven. And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight: If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister;
(Col 1:20-23)
~~~

Let the righteous seek their God
Let the wicked be confused.
Let the nations tremble.
For the Lord God has done this,
Behold he is preparing his Kingdom,
The rule is begun upon the lands of men.
~~~

Finale: He shall Reign for ever and ever!
*
Let all the earth Praise ye the Name of the LORD,
Almighty, Truth, Full of Justice, Full of Mercy,
Redeeming those who are his,
Purifying, refining, and establishing the Rule of the Lord God Eternal.
Revelation 11:15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.
