But Wait . . .

I think you should read Exodus 12 today.  Not because I did but because of what it says.

Let me stir us up today.

GOD kills people.

When was the last time you heard that preached?

12 For that night, I will pass through the land of Egypt and kill all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both men and animals; and I will execute judgment against all the gods of Egypt; I am Adonai. source

But I am not a proponent of taking Scripture out of context which is why I am urging you to always read in context.

GOD kills people.
As I made that note in my journal, I thought the first thing people are going to say is that was the Old Testament.  Yes. It is. But wait.
Acts 5 is in the New Testament.  Check it out.

Back to Exodus.

Would you agree we need to know what would cause GOD to kill someone?
Scripture is where we can gather that knowledge.  Exodus 12 is an excellent place to start.
Albeit, we would need to read more than Exodus 12 to learn all the evil rebellions done by Pharoah and his people. How familiar are you with the story given to us in the Book of Exodus?
It is well worth your time to read it.

What else is in Exodus 12?

There is verse 13.

13 The blood will serve you as a sign marking the houses where you are; when I see the blood, I will pass over you — when I strike the land of Egypt, the death blow will not strike you.  source 

Please, please don’t miss this: when I see the blood, I will pass over you.

This is GOD talking!
When I see the blood, I will pass over you! 

When GOD looks at YOU does He see the BLOOD of JESUS applied to YOU as the blood of the Passover Lamb was applied to the doors of those houses in Egypt?

The Hebrews of Old applied that blood to the doorposts. See verse 7.
doorThey obeyed and applied the blood because GOD told them to.
They heard the words of Moses given to him from The Father and they obeyed what they heard.
Sound familiar?  Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the Word of GOD? See Romans 12:17

So I must ask again – Is the BLOOD of JESUS The CHRIST applied to you?
When GOD moves in judgment will He pass over you?
seder-e1394248396864Look again at verse 12.
He was executing JUDGMENT when He killed all the firstborns not protected by the blood of the Passover Lamb.
Are you protected?

And if you read Acts 5, you will see not pagans being killed but church people.
There are sins unto death for church people.  See 1 John 5.

I began by saying I was going to stir us up?
Did I?

Do You See What I See?

Luke 7 

I hope you are reading the Gospel of Luke this month. 

Allow me to share just one of the treasures in this chapter. 
In all the Gospels as you read, I urge you to look, listen, and see JESUS. Look how He answers, see how He handles everyday life. 

John. We have come to refer to him as John the Baptizer was in prison for confronting an Official with the Truth. 
John was born about 6 months or so before YESHUA. When John came of age he began to proclaim the Messiah is here. The One the Prophets told us would come. 

And here in Luke 7 from the dungeon, John is overwhelmed and he begins to wonder . . . did I get this wrong? So he sends two of his disciples to ask JESUS: 

20 When the men came to him, they said, “Yochanan the Immerser has sent us to you to ask, ‘Are you the one who is to come? Or should we keep looking — for someone else?’”   source 

I missed for years how wonderfully YESHUA answered him. 

He assured and comforted John with the very Word John had proclaimed.  When He told John’s disciples to tell John what they saw; when He told John the blind were seeing, the lame were walking, leapers were being cleansed, the deaf were hearing, the dead were being raised, the GOOD NEWS was preached to the poor; He was calling to John’s memory the Sacred Writings John had read, the message he had preached. 

He assured John with Scripture! Just like He does you and me! 

I hope you will check out Isaiah 35:5-6, 26:19; 61:1. 

As you read these passages you will see JESUS was before their very eyes fulfilling the Scriptures.
He is indeed The Messiah! 

This was a total delight and a thing of beauty to me this morning! 

Invest well today my Friends.

Here we Go!

Here we are dear Ones. 
December 1.
The world has officially kicked off the countdown to December 25. 
There will be parties, rivalry, and debauchery, and on a lighter side — hot chocolate, trees, candy canes, tons of movies, and gifts galore – this is what the world calls Christmas.

I think the only reason it has not been renamed already is it would reduce the circulation of currency – Christians would balk.

We have to keep CHRIST in Christmas.

If we only knew!

I am not Jewish  – Orthodox or Messianic but I have a Menorah and enough candles for 8 days of honoring Yeshua Ha’Mashiach.

You see JESUS was not born on December 25 – just about everyone knows that. Just about everyone knows He likely came forth to His mother’s arms around the time of Sukkot – September/October-ish.
And if that is the case (and I think it is) the time of Hanukkah would have been the time GOD incarnate moved into the womb of Mary – to grow and in 9 months come forth in the Town of Bethlehem – House of Bread.

Oh, there is so much! So much wonder! So much glory to be seen and believed.
So many reasons to worship and rejoice that The SEED of the woman came to us. (See Genesis 3:15)
HE is The LIGHT of the World. A world in complete darkness.
There are not enough LEDs on the planet to light our way to  HIM.

I hope you will read this research, click HERE –– if you do, you just might get a glimpse of why I am so good with not celebrating the global event called Christmas.
