The Voice of the Lord

 

Psalm 29:1-11 KJV
[1] Give unto the Lord , O ye mighty, give unto the Lord glory and strength. [2] Give unto the Lord the glory due unto his name; worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness. [3] The voice of the Lord is upon the waters: the God of glory thundereth: the Lord is upon many waters. [4] The voice of the Lord is powerful; the voice of the Lord is full of majesty. [5] The voice of the Lord breaketh the cedars; yea, the Lord breaketh the cedars of Lebanon. [6] He maketh them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young unicorn. [7] The voice of the Lord divideth the flames of fire. [8] The voice of the Lord shaketh the wilderness; the Lord shaketh the wilderness of Kadesh. [9] The voice of the Lord maketh the hinds to calve, and discovereth the forests: and in his temple doth every one speak of his glory. [10] The Lord sitteth upon the flood; yea, the Lord sitteth King for ever. [11] The Lord will give strength unto his people; the Lord will bless his people with peace.
God desires you to hear His voice…
1. This picture declares the glory of God - here at Camp Joy they desire to give God the glory in all they do. This Psalm promotes God’s glory and unhindered beauty. We are experiencing all this in many ways at Camp Joy.
2. There’s a strong emphasis on the Power of the Word of the Lord within this Psalm - here at Camp Joy we have been experiencing the power of God’s Word through preaching, and we are trusting God’s Word to continue in power with the result of each life surrendering and submitting to giving God the glory!
3. We conclude with the Lord’s endurance forever, strength inconceivable, and peace that’s so refreshing - here at Camp Joy there’s a continuation of promoting the eternality of God, the power of God’s strength to overcome the hardest of hearts through the Word, and a peace that passeth all understanding when one willfully comes to the easy yoke of Christ.
May we rejoice in all that God is doing here at Camp Joy. May we harness their fervor for the Lord. May we revel in the glory of God! May we submit to the clarity & power of God’s Word! Time is short!
Blessed beyond measure,
Pastor Justyn Smith (at Camp Joy)

A Surprise Alaska Trip

Image
A somewhat last minute trip to Alaska came up and we jumped on the opportunity. This whole trip was designed to surprise a youth pastor in Fairbanks, Alaska for faithfully serving for 20 years as a youth pastor. My girls couldn’t go due to how fast the trip and turn around times were, but it was a blessing to get to visit Alaska again so soon. Here are some pics to recap the trip: Denali and view from the air! A beautiful Alaskan day in the valley. On my way to Glennallen from Palmer to preach God‘s word! One of the games we played to surprise the Youth Pastor was called “the price is exactly right.” He is sitting on one of the gifts the people blessed him with! Another beautiful Alaska travel day! I had the privilege of going to the Alaska State Fair with my sister-in-law, my niece and my two nephews! I enjoyed laying the dining room floor flowing from the kitchen that was remodeled in July. I also got to install a sink and a dishwasher at another location. It was a busy but blessed t

An Audio Witness

  An Audio Witness Attention Pastors, Evangelists, and Teachers of the Word! Start being an  audio witness  of what God has engraved within your heart! It's easy, and It doesn't take much time to establish. On average, I typically spend 1/2 an hour a day/6 days a week establishing my daily audio witness called  "The Preacher's Push."  This name was birthed in my mind and heart during evangelism. However, it's influence never came into full swing until this past year. The reason I am posting this blog is to simply show others (who have inquired) how I do what I do that they may establish a similar setup to "exhort one another daily" from the Word of God! First,  PRODUCING  - there are 3 different setups I have used in the past to establish an audio witness. Knowing that there are plenty of other excellent options for your consideration, I'll spend my time here with what I do know. (The following are just examples of this preacher experimenting wit
