God created the heavens, the earth and put a rainbow in the sky! |
I looked at my husband and gasped! What?
In Genesis, God created. So without reading about God creating, what do you have. And not everyone has read the Bible through and through. All I could ask the Lord was this: "does this man have the Holy Spirit?" He has a church named his church the "contemporary" yet where is God of the Bible in that?
Jesus was always pointing back to the Father. And Jesus had a relationship with the Father WHO sent Him on "assignment"!
How will people have the Oneness like Jesus did with the Father when they know nothing about it? Jesus came not to do His own will, but He came to do the will of the Father.
Mark 14:36 Amplified Bible 36 And He was saying, Abba [which means] Father, everything is possible for You. Take away this cup from Me; yet not what I will, but what You [will].
Jesus said this in John 17:14 NKJV I have given them Your word; and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.
In John 17:24 He said this: 24 "Father, I desire that they also whom You gave Me may be with Me where I am, that they may behold My glory which You have given Me; for You loved Me before the foundation of the world."
John 17:26 "and I have declared to them Your name, and will declare it , that the love with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them.
John 20:17 Jesus said to her, "Do not cling Me for I have not yet ascended to My Father but go to My brethren and say to them, I am ascending to My Father, and your Father and to my God and your God."
Ephesians 2:18 For through Him we both have access by one Spirit to the Father.
In understanding Jesus is that Open Door and we have access by one Spirit to the Father, how or why would one ignore the Father, ignore what He created in the Beginning?
Genesis 1:1 In the Beginning GOD created the heavens and the earth. He created out of chaos and called in His peace. He sculpted a world that was without form and brought forth a world of beauty that is of His heart!
The Old Testament is "not filler"! Each book is there for the same reason that Bible holds them, it is for our benefit.
God is a God of strategy. Even Paul the Apostle recounts the inspiring account of Joseph and the divine protection that took place for the people of God in Egypt. Well, we have become the children of God. We have been grafted in and it would behoove us to know the God of Israel and find what His heart desires.
READ all about Him from Genesis to Revelation. Know the God of creation, Know HIS WAYS, bask in that beauty, and relish His truth because without it and HIM we are not going anywhere! Being conformed to His image is taking on that which is totally God. It comes by obedience and by resting in Him as the power and glory forever and forever.
Unless we know Him, and His perfect will, we will be receptive to only receiving death, disease,discord, and disaster and these come because of sin. But the perfect Lamb was given, as we behold the crucified Christ and the Tomb is empty.
The Spirit of the living God, the Holy Spirit brought Jesus out of the place of death and dying to the place of living, of life and of God!
All that Word God spoke from the beginning, given to His Son was wrapped up in power released to do the impossible! Just like in Genesis, it was the Holy Spirit of God who went into chaos into religion of pharisees, into prideful kings, and leaders who held their position in religious ceremonies greater than knowing the real king of the Jews and changed their glory for shame!
Jesus was always about making peace, but it came by exposing motives of others first and foremost!
As Jesus
awaited his impending suffering and death, he stepped aside in isolation to
pray. Opposition caused Jesus to feel sorrowful and troubled, overwhelming his
soul to the point of death.
We find this in Matthew 26:36-39 Amp. Bible: 36 Then Jesus went with them to a place called Gethesemane, and He told His disciples, Sit down here while I go over yonder and pray. 37 And taking with Him, Peter, and the two sons of Zebedee, He began to show grief and distress of mind and was deeply depressed. 38 Then He said to them, My soul is very sad deeply grieved so that i am almost dying of sorrow. Stay here and keep awake and keep watch with Me. 39 And going a little farther, he threw Himself upon the ground on His face and prayed saying, My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass away from Me; nevertheless, not what I will [not what I desire], but as You will and desire.
Jesus, fully God yet fully man, He still needed his Father. Three times in Gethsemane, Matthew says he “fell with
his face to the ground and prayed, ‘My Father, if it is possible, may this cup
be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will’” This found in verses 39, 42, 44).
Life should spring forth when we have kept company with God the Father and His Son. Life will spring and it has everything to do with God and His strategic plan for your life and for mine.
May you and I come alive NOW with
the life of God that propels us into the greatest move of God for this time, for
you and your family never to be the same in Jesus' name!
Jesus
accomplished what He came to do for us! He came to tell us of the love the Father has for us.
May we not be afraid to read of all the goodness the Father has for us! May we read and know without a doubt and then go tell others what great things God has done for us! We need our Father!
