Being Righteous
Not many people know what being righteous means but this word is mentioned throughout My Word so I AM bringing it up as I want to call attention to it. First I want to share what it means. For Abraham believed ME when I told him that he would have a son~his own flesh and blood and then My Word says that Abram believed the Lord and he credited it to him as righteousness. (Genesis 15:16) For righteousness takes faith to a whole new level~into the impossible realm. For Abraham was old and Sarah was too but Abraham had built a strong relationship with ME and he knew My Voice and he knew that what I say Becomes A Reality! So His Righteousness, meaning His Faith in ME to produce a miracle caused and brought forth Issac. But I Also tested his perseverance as he waited twenty-five years to experience the fulfillment of My Promise! Righteousness also means being in a right standing with ME~holy and pure, actively obeying ME in word and deed; being faithful to ME and not worshipping any other gods. Then the Word also describes ME as being righteous as found in Psalms 7:9 ‘Bring to an end the violence of the wicked and make the righteous secure-you the righteous God who probes minds and hearts.’ For My Righteousness comes from My Being Holy and Perfect and I AM a Perfect Judge of Character for man looks at the outward appearance but I Look at the Heart. (I Samuel 16:7) So now that I have described to you its meaning, let ME share reasons why to be righteous—Whoever pursues righteousness finds life, prosperity and honor (Proverbs 21:21) and Righteousness guards the person of integrity, but wickedness overthrows the sinner. There are many more but I want you to focus on this verse-James 5:16 ‘Therefore confess your sins to one another and pray for one another that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power in its effects. For this is the longing of My Heart for you that your prayers have Great Power and will take effect against your enemy!
