Littlestone heard a Voice speaking of Psalm 2:
Why are the [a]nations in an [b]uproar [in turmoil against God],
And why do the people devise a vain and hopeless plot?
The kings of the earth take their stand;
And the rulers take counsel together
Against the Lord and His Anointed (the Davidic King, the Messiah, the Christ), saying,
“Let us break apart their [divine] bands [of restraint]
And cast away their cords [of control] from us.”
He who sits [enthroned] in the heavens laughs [at their rebellion];
The [Sovereign] [c]Lord scoffs at them [and in supreme contempt He mocks them].
Then He will speak to them in His [profound] anger
And terrify them with His displeasure, saying,
“Yet as for Me, I have anointed and firmly installed My King
Upon Zion, My holy mountain.”
“I will declare the decree of the Lord:
He said to Me, ‘You are My Son;
This day [I proclaim] I have begotten You.
Ask of Me, and I will assuredly give [You] the nations as Your inheritance,
And the ends of the earth as Your possession.
‘You shall break them with a rod of iron;
You shall shatter them [in pieces] like earthenware.’”
Now therefore, O kings, act wisely;
Be instructed and take warning, O leaders (judges, rulers) of the earth.
Worship the Lord and serve Him with reverence [with awe-inspired fear and submissive wonder];
Rejoice [yet do so] with trembling.
Kiss (pay respect to) the [d]Son, so that He does not become angry, and you perish in the way,
For His wrath may soon be kindled and set aflame.
How blessed [fortunate, prosperous, and favored by God] are all those who take refuge in Him.
Littlestone always remembered scriptures as ASK….
Ask and keep on asking….
Seek and keep on seeking…..
Knock and keep on knocking……. Our God is good, he thought, and He will always show His goodness in the land of the living…..
Do you have an eye after Him to see?
Do you have an understanding of Him to know His hand?
Do you have an ear to hear His footsteps approaching at our time?
So in thinking along this line….. KISS the Son……
Keep it simple stupid came to Littlestone’s mind.
Yes, foolish is the one who would lift their fist against the King of all.
Kiss and bow before the One now that all knees will bow now and forever….
Bow now and know His goodness and mercy.
Bow now and experience His great love and power.
Bow now and hear His voice.
Bow now and walk through His storms.
Bow now and live in His joy.
Bow now and walk in His blood and be cleansed.
Bow now and be free in Him to be all He has planned for you to be.
Bow now and see His face.
Bow now and know His secrets that are coming to light.
Bow now and sit at His feet and learn of the One who loves us without end.
Bow now and do not be foolish and ignorant of God’s Son and live your own way.
Colossians 1:9-29 is where Littlestone sat and read and studied these verses:
For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you.
We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit give,
so that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God,
being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience,
and giving joyful thanks to the Father, who has qualified you[f] to share in the inheritance of his holy people in the kingdom of light.
For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, 14 in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.
For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him.
He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.
And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy.
For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross.
Once you were alienated from God and were enemies in your minds because of[g] your evil behavior.
But now he has reconciled you by Christ’s physical body through death to present you holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation—
if you continue in your faith, established and firm, and do not move from the hope held out in the gospel.
This is the gospel that you heard and that has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven, and of which I, Paul, have become a servant.
Now I rejoice in what I am suffering for you, and I fill up in my flesh what is still lacking in regard to Christ’s afflictions, for the sake of his body, which is the church.
I have become its servant by the commission God gave me to present to you the word of God in its fullness— the mystery that has been kept hidden for ages and generations, but is now disclosed to the Lord’s people.
To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.
He is the one we proclaim, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone fully mature in Christ.
To this end I strenuously contend with all the energy Christ so powerfully works in me mightily.
How foolish is a man who walks in dark deeds and assumes God will not hold him or her accountable.
How foolish is man or woman who thinks they may stop a fire with their own hands.
How foolish is a man or woman who thinks they may stop a storm with their own hands….. or even think they may start the rain or tell the wind to blow in a way.
Can we start the rain?
Can we start the wind?
Bow and Kiss the Son who has been given to us from our great God. Are you His?
Is He yours?
For this reason we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding that we may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God, (Colossians 1:9-10).
