EXTRA EXTRA READ ALL ABOUT IT

God created the heavens, the earth and put a rainbow in the sky!

Heard the strangest speaking on a god channel over the week-end. This gentleman said to his church that we are not to read the Old Testament. That is has nothing to do with today since Jesus as come and was resurrected and we are to only view the New Testament. The only teaching is to be the New Testament only!
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!

No Dripping Nonsense

Voice of Prayer

Proverbs 15:1-2   Message Bible    A gentle response defuses anger, but a sharp tongue kindles a temper-fire. Knowledge flows like spring water from the wise; fools are leaking faucets, dripping nonsense.

Have you ever had a faucet leaking just enough to keep you awake at night? No, it is not a "good" thing to hear all through the night when one is to rest.

I really like this that knowledge flows like spring water from the wise.

How wonderful to be the "wise" and wise in heart, to keep God before us and remember His ways and thoughts are higher than ours!

But the opposite here is: leaking faucet, dripping nonsense!

What might we see of this when we look into God's word? On one hand we could be the wise, acting responsible, being mature enough to receive authority as to those in leadership: say like the White House, the President and Vice-President! We must be mature enough to receive authority and act accordingly to that authority that is in place.

Was thinking on this while reading and remembering of the Vice President Pence to give a speech at such and such university the third weekend in May and remembered that some of the educated walked out. Sad, but true and in turn the whoever they were, will do doubt desire to have favor and have a voice but won't because of the seeds they have sown into rejecting authority that day in May 2017. Even if they get to a place of having a job that is a good one bringing some sort of honor to them, it will not last, because at some point the seeds sown in May and in rejecting authority, they too will be the rejected. Yikes!

Not sure what happened to this country we call home, but in the last forty years, it surely has changed. I remember a day when "kid's" had to obey their parents and those in leadership as to those serving within the community like: police, your school teachers and especially God!

There is one such rejection of authority in the book of Galatians. And the "foolish Galatians" were not receiving the authority that Paul had and was given him by Jesus Christ. In their not being wise, yes not having that really mature mindset, they moved into foolishness......and the nonsense became evident! They became "dripping nonsense"!

Rejecting any authority is a clear sign of "immaturity".  We find in Galatians 1:6 the group from Galatia were moving away from the grace of Christ, their teaching was in the form of a different Gospel.

Galatians 1:6  I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel, 7 which is not another, but there are some who trouble you and to pervert the gospel of Christ.

Galatians 3:1,3  O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you that you should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed among you as crucified? 3 Are you so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are you now being made perfect by the flesh?

Yes, there is no one made perfect by the flesh...........anything like foolishness is not good and will bring harm to the person acting in that regard to another person. And acted out, degree or no degree is still a sad situation for the individual.

Galatians 4:9 But now after you have known God, or rather are known by God, how is it that you turn again to the weak and beggarly elements to which  you desire again to be in bondage?

It was noted that the Gentile Galatians were observing those certain days, months, seasons, etc.

In doing so, their idol worship had nothing to do with observing God's holy days ( Galatians 4:10 You observes days and months and seasons and years.

Verse 11, it is Paul who declares: "I am afraid for you, lest I have labored for you in vain."

He had taught them the Gospel that Jesus commanded him to preach and teach.

Matthew 28: 19-20  NKJV  19 "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age. Amen."

What Jesus had given to the disciples who later became the apostles of which Paul was one, the Galatians had the early onset chose to disregard his authority. That was a really bad place to be. For a person to reject the authority like Paul, these Galatians were rejecting authority of the one who sent him and that was Jesus Christ!

It is Peter who reminds us in 2 Peter 3;11-8 (amplified Bible) 17 Let me warn you therefore, beloved that knowing things beforehand, you should be on your guard, lest you be carried away by the error of lawless and wicked [persons and] fall from your own [present] firm condition [your own steadfastness of mind]. 18 But grow in grace (undeserved favor, spiritual strength and recognition and knowledge and understanding of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ (the Messiah)

Peter wanted to warn those believer's that to follow others who are in "error" of lawless and wicked persons.......was not a good thing to do!

In Peter' words, each person was to be consecrated, with holy behavior, devout with godly qualities. (2 Peter 3:11) (amplified bible)

In receiving any such rewards as the diploma or degree matters little when the one acquiring has no regard to loving their neighbor. It is their actions that spoke loudly and will in turn come back to them in a harvest of rejection as well.
In my thinking or thought process, as a person who hires those coming into the fields of work, would I desire to hire one who walked out on the authority like the vice-president or like those foolish Galatians we read about. For if they walked out that easily, they will probably not obey the authority of those who would be hiring them. Just a little for thought to those who have businesses and truly want to hire the wise in heart!

Might we keep in step with the Lord and heed His warnings so that we will walk the path of honor, to see His purpose for our lives be manifested that will be to His glory and not to man. It is in His light that we see light and the darkness cannot remain. May we remain in Him and remain to be wise within His sight walking in His wisdom all the days of our lives! Amen!
