REALLY? How bold are you?
Shout out to… Those who want to live the fulness of the revelation of God’s word!
Lately I’m thinking… God’s ways thankfully are not our ways!
Currently reading… Hebrews Chapter 10:17-22
This is really interesting… God knew that we had no way into the holiest place lst he’d make it for us!
The soapbox: God has made a way for us to fulfill the royal priesthood (1 Peter 2:9) he has called us in holiness (2 Timothy 1:9) unto! By way of sacrificing his own flesh and blood! Now we must enter with boldness into the most holiest place by a new and living way through the veil, HIS flesh, AFTER being washed by HIS blood! But remember the order of God in this matter! A living SACRIFICE FIRST (Romans 12:1), THEN the BLESSING! It is the strategy of the enemy to do things backwards! You must understand the major concepts of the Lord’s supper (1 Corinthians 11:23,24 & 26), SACRIFICE and BLESSING, in their cycle which is being taken, blessed, (blessing) broken, and passed out (sacrifice) by God in any given circumstance of the Christian life!
Right on God! Write on!
Shout out to… Those who really understand what God has put into their hearts and written in their minds!
Lately I’m thinking… How grateful I reaaly am that God has looked beyond my faults and still choes to supply my needs!
Currently reading… Hebrews Chapter 10:16
This is really interesting… God promises to perform the supernatural occurance of taking his word off of the page and putting it into our hearts!
The soapbox: Consider Hebrews 10:16. God has made a covenat with us which can only be broken by death! if our heart driven desire is to do his will specifically in the area of wanting to be the kind of sacrifice he desires of us to be, He will “put” his law-WORD- into our hearts! Furthermore, He “write” his WORD in our minds! Our part in his “covenant” to us is to learn how to sacrifice the new testament way! Mortify the deeds of the body throught the Spirit as Romans 8:13 instructs you to. “Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth” says Colossians 3:5! Sacrifice those things in your conscience that purify it and clean it for the honor and glory of God! Its time that you enjoy the promises of the covenant! Let the poeple of God say so! Pastor Greg
Do YOU wanna be first?
Shout out to… Those who wonder why the last shall be first and the first shall be last!
Lately I’m thinking… Even the details of creation confirm the word of God!
Currently reading… Hebrews Chapter 10
This is really interesting… God knew what had to be made READY, SET into place so we could actually GO forward in him!
The soapbox: Look at Hebrews 10:1. Can you “see” that the writer wants you to “perceive a bigger picture”? The old testament sacrificial commandments were only “a shadow of good things to come”! The new testament commandments are “the very image of the things”! Having the right perception of what you thought you saw often times determines the nature of our response. We must learn how to properly discern “spiritual images” from the “spiritual shadows” God has shown us! The “shadow” of the old testament sacrifices could not accomplish what the “image” of new testament sacrifices do! Compare verses 1 through 4; 7 through 10; 11 and 22. The “hearts” that are “sprinkled from an evil conscience” are what shall be accepted by God first! Pastor Greg
