Standing On The Rock...🙏🌿🌼🕊

Standing on the Rock

Jesus reinforces this truth in His parable about the wise man that builds his house on the rock. It’s not only important to have the right foundation; we need the right materials like faith, hope, and love—materials that He provides us. Will your house stand? By repenting and believing that by Christ’s blood we are innocent, we can be counted worthy for His sake—and be left standing.

We Christians have some trials ahead. The last thing we need is our church becoming complacent during a time when our lamps should be trimmed. And we need to have something genuine; we need to know Him to stand. We need to be able to sing like Jehoshaphat’s choir, singing God’s praises and standing still in His salvation.

Let’s look again in our Bibles. Revelation 14:1 says, “And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount [Zion], and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father’s name written in their foreheads.” But if we’re going to be able to stand with Him then, we need to stand in faith now. I want to be among those. How about you? I want to stand before the Lord, clad in His armor and covered by His blood.

There may be some of you who realize that your foundation is made of the wrong stuff and today you’d like to begin building on Christ. So I’d like to end on this last promise, found in

1 Thessalonians 3:8: “For now we live, if ye stand fast in the Lord.”

Will You be left Standing?

Who Is Worthy To Stand?...🙏🌿🌼🕊

How could this woman, which many believe to be Mary Magdalene, stand under those circumstances? She broke the commandments. She was unworthy. But what does Christ say to her? “Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?” She answers, “No man, Lord.” And Jesus replies, “Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.”

Christ also said, “Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man” (Luke 21:36). Notice that Jesus doesn’t say you will be worthy—He says that you will be counted worthy. Mary was guilty of sin, but did He count her guilty? No, He gave her mercy. She stood in grace because He would take her penalty.

Who is going to be left standing? The one who loves the Lord. The ones who have faith and stand in grace. The ones not afraid to stand alone with Jesus—they will be left standing. But you might be thinking, “I fall all the time. How can I know I’ll stand in the end?” Well, Proverbs 24:16 says, “For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again.” Jesus cast seven demons from Mary; she fell into her old patterns several times. But as often as she sincerely repented of it, He genuinely forgave her. The righteous might fall, but they can still stand in the judgment if they have the righteousness of Christ.

So even though you may not be Samson, Eleazar, or David, just remember that they didn’t stand in their own strength. God helped them stand, and He can give you the strength too. Someone once asked Moody if he had enough faith to be tortured for Christ without denying Him. He answered, “Not now I don’t, but when that day comes I trust He’ll give me the strength.” The Lord promises, “As thy days so shall thy strength be” (Deuteronomy 33.25)

Standing Before The Son...🙏🌿🌼🕊

A wonderful story found in John 8 perfectly illustrates this picture. The religious leaders caught a woman in adultery, and they brought her before Jesus to receive the death decree. With self-righteous indignation, they stood pointing accusing fingers, ready and eager to snuff out her life under a hail of stones.

They pressed their question, “What do you say?” But He ignored them. Instead, He stooped down and began to sketch in the dust on the temple floor as though they were not there. Then He stood up and said to the woman who was caught in adultery those immortalized words: “He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.”

And then Jesus knelt down again and waited. Ashamed and bewildered, the leaders pondered their next move. 

Then the accusers began crawling away one by one. “And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest even unto to the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst” (John 8:9).

Her accusers were gone; they fell, but she was face to face with Jesus—STANDING!

What is Dependable? God’s Word; it is going to Stand...🙏🌿🌼🕊

So if we stand up for God’s Word, the truth—even though it’s not popular—we’ll be left standing. Some truth that’s accepted today will become increasingly unpopular as time ends. You need to decide now if you’re going to retreat with everybody else or if you’re going to stand, fighting back to back with Jesus, the son of David. He will not ever leave you nor forsake you (Hebrews 13:5).

Will you be able to Stand?
