Removing Things

As a result of the school shooting in Florida that took the lives of 17 people people are seeking answers. Those who have been trying to remove guns from people are wanting to take guns away as an answer to the problem. The problem is a sin problem.  A killer will find a gun or some other way to kill. People need Jesus and the Ten Commandments. Jesus is God's  Son. The Ten Commandments are a moral guide for people to obey God.  The spiritually blind allow atheists and others to remove the Ten Commandments from public places. This is an open invitation for demons of violence to enter the minds and hearts of our young people.

Deu 4:29  But if from thence thou shalt seek the LORD thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul. 

Psa 138:2 ...for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name. 

We must never turn from God or his word. Jesus is the Word of God come in the flesh. He died on a cross, shedding His blood for the removing of our sins. Billy Graham preached Jesus and the cross. Now that Billy has been removed from preaching, we must keep the name of Jesus before the people. Preach Jesus for the removal of our sins and bring back the Ten Commandments as an answer to godless violence. Will we follow God or the godless people? I will follow Jesus.

Spiritual wealth

Act 3:6  Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk. 
Act 3:7  And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength. 
Act 3:8  And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God. 
Act 3:9  And all the people saw him walking and praising God: 

Peter gave the lame man a great gift; the healing of God. Not many have the gift of healing, but the Spirit of God in every born again believer does meet needs. We love God and His love flows to us to be given out to others. There are many lonely people that need a touch of God. Perhaps he can touch people through our fingers and our words?  

I visited the local Senior Center today. There were almost a dozen people there. It was Valentines day and as I talked to the people, I learned that most were living alone and needing to be with another "alive" person. Most of the people through conversations I learned were Christians. It is good to be around other people, and even better is the fellowship with others of the family of God. Hey? I even got a hug from an older sister in the Lord; how special is that? 

DAY OF ATONEMENT

Lev 16:34  And this shall be an everlasting statute unto you, to make an atonement for the children of Israel for all their sins once a year. And he did as the LORD commanded Moses.

My calendar has on it "the day of atonement", the day is still a holy day for the Jews, although they have no temple to make a sacrifice for their sins.

When AOL was the portal to the Internet I would talk to many people in the chat rooms and on Instant messages.  Through these encounters many were brought out of bondage in body and in soul. Human trafficking has been a sin going on in our nation that many know nothing about. Runaway kids are being captured and forced into prostitution. For a few years our ministry helped many young women and men to escape bondage. One young lady who was freed, was a Jewish girl. Not by accident, the day of her freedom from bondage was on the calendar "Day of Atonement".  Isaiah spoke of setting captives free and Jesus in his ministry spoke that through him, this prophesy was fulfilled.

Isa 61:1  The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; 
Isa 61:2  To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn; 
Isa 61:3  To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified. 

The freed men and women were cared for and given the word of God. Most everyone who was freed also believed in Jesus for the atonement for their sins. Many found jobs and were restored to personal freedom. Those who continue, being filled with the Holy Spirit are the adopted sons and daughters of God.

Joh 8:36  If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.

STRANGE FIRE

Lev 10:1  And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took either of them his censer, and put fire therein, and put incense thereon, and offered strange fire before the LORD, which he commanded them not. 

Lev 10:2  And there went out fire from the LORD, and devoured them, and they died before the LORD. 

Nadab and Abihu had barely entered their ministry as priests when they made a fatal mistake. They were to enter into the holy place of the sanctuary with fire from the altar, but they made their own fire another way, denying the holy way authorized by God. My first thoughts were that this could be applied to a lot that is happening in the name of God today. People who make their own doctrines, could be strange fire. The over whelming thirst for the "supernatural" has opened up things that are not of God to the naive seekers. Trickery, slight of hand, smooth talking messengers with their own thoughts of success and prosperity. Just as in the time of Jesus, many followed him to see the miracles and to eat the food, but they did not know him or wish to follow him in difficult times. Today we must follow truth by first trusting Jesus as Lord and savior and being filled with the Holy Spirit of truth. By the spirit are signs and wonders and discernment to know what is truly of God. The Spirit isn't necessarily an emotional frenzy, he may bring quiet and peace as well as joy and yes,  long suffering. May we serve him in holiness.

Eph 4:22  That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; 

Eph 4:23  And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; 

Eph 4:24  And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
