Peter Roselle: I Will Rejoice in the God of My Salvation (Habakkuk 3:18)
Peter speaks at King of Kings Worship Center on November 21, 2021. Quotes: “In 2 Corinthians 6:9, Paul said, "We're treated as dying and yet we live as punished and yet we're not executed. Though we're sorrowful, we continually rejoice as the poorest of the poor, we bring richness to all and though we have nothing, we possess all things." When you've got the Spirit of God in you and you know the Word, God will give you downloads of what it means in the New Covenant.”

Be blessed.
Remember: you have been “blessed to be a blessing.” (Genesis 12:2)

Hebrews 10:35 "Don't lose your bold, courageous faith for you' are destined for a great reward.
You need the strength of endurance to reveal the poetry of God's will." You've heard that expression, "The rug was pulled out from under me?" That's a real graphic description of how it is emotionally. The whole rug of your life just gets yanked out from under you and you have no idea how you're even going to stand up again emotionally because it's such a trauma. And yet, there was poetry - it wasn't that she wasn't grieving. She had another source of strength that I didn't have, that would be very hard to put into words. The Poetry of God's will.

"For soon and very soon, the one who's appearing will come without delay." "And he also says," in Habakkuk 2:3-4, this is quoted right in the book of Hebrews. "My righteous ones will live from my faith." Isn't that awesome? Any righteous ones sitting here? He's referring to people who live by faith. This is a very famous verse in the reformation. The just shall live by... works? No, the just shall live by faith.

"My righteous ones will live from my faith, but if fear holds them back, my soul is not content with them." That would be an easy verse to gloss over and think, can't we just stay on the just shall live by faith? Well, no, because Habakkuk said be careful, you can't let fear come in. And fear has been rampant in America. That is not meant to shame anybody - but it's not a good symptom if I'm operating in a lot of fear, I should be getting prayer for that.

You don't make good decisions when you're operating out of fear, you're emotionally hijacked. And the peace of God passes all understanding – which allows us to hear the Lord better. And you might've heard me quote, John Paul Jackson. He said, "Peace is the potting soil of revelation." So, if you want to hear from the Lord, your spirit has to be at peace, not emotionally hijacked.

"We are certainly not those who are held back by fear and perish." In Jesus' name, that's true for all of us. "We are among those who have faith and experience true life." That's the voice version, Hebrews chapter 10, right in the thirties there, if you want to go back and look at it. 

Habakkuk 3:17-18
"Though the fig tree should not blossom, nor the fruit beyond the vines,
the produce of the olive fail, and the fields yield no food.
The flock be cut off from the fold, and there'd be no herd in the stalls,
yet I will rejoice in the Lord.
I will take joy in the God of my salvation.”

Some of you need to read that verse, it gives us strength. It's part of that immune system. How can we as the church be a strong immune system for the culture if we don't have a strong spiritual immune system in our own lives? Well, one way is we do it together - what's lacking in me – that gap will be filled by you - we need each other.

Humans are obsessed with power and political prominence as a means to influence the culture. Christian citizens have an obligation, according to the word of God, to strive for justice and freedom through the transforming power of the Spirit in people's lives. Meditate on that for a minute. The Lord is saying, you don't just keep this for yourself. You be a witness, living an example in the way you're living your life.

"We have an obligation," this author says, "to strive for justice and freedom through the transforming power of the Spirit in people's lives." Rather than this temporal power, the real work of the Kingdom often thrives under fierce attack and opposition." That's the commentary from John 16. In this world, you will have trouble, but fear not for I have overcome the world.

In 2 Corinthians 6:9, Paul said, "We're treated as dying and yet we live as punished and yet we're not executed. Though we're sorrowful, we continually rejoice as the poorest of the poor, we bring richness to all and though we have nothing, we possess all things." When you've got the Spirit of God in you and you know the Word, God will give you downloads.
