God Wants

 “ God wants exuberant, chaste, virtuous souls who testify of His reality, and live with remarkable freedom in the power of the new life, because they have acknowledged that in the old life there is no man good, no not one. ”   Art Katz  “David’s Cry For Mercy” 

Years ago a friend coined the term “wage mercy”.  As I read Art’s words about the beautiful Psalm 51, it seems to me we have only one job, to give away the mercy that has been given to us.

This will involve real spiritual warfare in the coming days when showing mercy to a Jew could cost you your life.

Let’s practice, look for opportunities to wage mercy.

Israel Will Become Teachers of the Gentiles of the Mercy of God

From the Treasury of David by Spurgeon, specifically Psalm 51 comes this quote.


  " I cannot doubt the prophetic bearing of this Psalm upon the nation of Israel. In the latter day they shall consider their ways: repentance and self loathing will be the result. Blood guiltiness heavier than that of David has to be removed from that nation. They will become the teachers of the Gentiles, when first the iniquity of their own transgressions has been purged away." Arthur Pridham.


Wow. 


This guy gets it.


He has read Zechariah 12-14 and takes it literally.


Psalm 51 applied to the Jewish nation in its entirety!


All Glory to the Mercy and Faithfulness of our God.  One God, One family, One plan of salvation through One Messiah by the Holy Spirit.
