Salvation of God

6 Replies

But Moses said to the people, “Do not fear! Stand by and see the salvation of the LORD which He will accomplish for you today; Exodus 14:13

Are you faced with a great obstacle today? Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt, out of the bondages slavery, only to be faced with the Red Sea. In front of him was the Red Sea and behind him was the Egyptian army looking for revenge.

But notice what Moses says , Do not fear! Many people always try to portray Moses as desperate or hopeless when he called out to God to part the Red Sea. But Moses was confident, he knew how great our God is and he will never forsake us.

Notice also Moses said , “see the salvation of The Lord today” we can see the salvation of God today also through his only begotten Son , Jesus Christ. . The name “Yeshua” which is the Hebrew name of Jesus means “Salvation of God”

Later God responds to Moses saying “Why are you crying out to me? Tell the sons of Israel to go forward “ (Exodus 14:15-16) God is saying why are you even hesitating or doubting me?  If our faith is strong, we know exactly what God is capable of doing and he will deliver us.

Just as with Jesus it says “Anyone who calls upon the name of The Lord shall be saved” (Romans 10:13) Jesus is your salvation from God. Do you need to be saved today? Call upon him and he will part your “Red Sea”, he will calm your storm in Jesus Name Amen

That Defiles You

“But the things that proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and those defile the man. Matthew 15:18

The religious leaders tried to condemn Jesus for not practicing there rituals, but Jesus teaches us its what comes from your heart and mind that defiles you. We all heard of the term “Garbage in , garbage out”. This is practical for our own lives. When we continiually listen and watch evil things , its plants the seed in our own minds and hearts and grows lawlessness.

Set your mind on the things above, not on the things that are on earth. Colossians 3:2

When we set our minds on holy things, we are planting the see for righteousness. Our goal is to live like Christ. When we follow Jesus we are setting ourselves free from the bondages of this world.

So what thought and words are coming from your heart and mind? Are you defiling yourself with profanity and blasphemy? Or are you speaking words of faith , hope , and love? Its important we watch the words we speak, as they have power.

Remember God breathed life into our bodies,(Genesis 2:7) the breathe we speak is essentially the Spirit of God.  Are you defiling yourself with your words and actions or are you speaking life?

Then when lust has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and when sin is accomplished, it brings forth death.  James 1:15

Your thoughts and actions gives birth to sin which equals death. Its important we control what we allow to be put into our minds and hearts. Don’t defile yourself with the birth of your sin. Set your mind and heart on God in Jesus name Amen

Lent Season

3 Replies

Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. Matthew 4:1

What is Lent season all about? Although the Bible doesn’t mention the word Lent, the season is based off the 40 days Jesus spent in the wilderness and was confronted by Satan.  Jesus displays how to overcome our temptations by turning to God

 

And the tempter came and said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.” But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘MAN SHALL NOT LIVE ON BREAD ALONE, BUT ON EVERY WORD THAT PROCEEDS OUT OF THE MOUTH OF GOD.'” Matthew 4:3-4

Many times in life we worry most about our physical needs and not our spiritual needs. Just as Jesus said, we can’t live off just food alone, it may satisfy a temporary need, but our souls are eternal. We need to feed our souls the Word of God, the Bread of Life Jesus Christ.

 

and said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down; for it is written, ‘HE WILL COMMAND HIS ANGELS CONCERNING YOU’; and ‘ON their HANDS THEY WILL BEAR YOU UP, SO THAT YOU WILL NOT STRIKE YOUR FOOT AGAINST A STONE.'” Jesus said to him, “On the other hand, it is written, ‘YOU SHALL NOT PUT THE LORD YOUR GOD TO THE TEST.’  Matthew 4:6-7

Is it our will or Gods will? Many people want to test God, for him to prove himself. But its Gods will be done, not ours. Stop trying to tempt God, allow him to reveal his glory in due time.

 

and he said to Him, “All these things I will give You, if You fall down and worship me.” Then Jesus said to him, “Go, Satan! For it is written, ‘YOU SHALL WORSHIP THE LORD YOUR GOD, AND SERVE HIM ONLY.'” Matthew 4:9-10

As humans we have an ego problem, we want others to praise and magnify us. But there is only one God and he is the only one worthy to be praised. Those who humble themselves will be exalted by God.

So are you reflect this Lent Season, what temptations is Satan challenging you with? Draw near to God and he will draw near to you in Jesus Name Amen

Is Ash Wednesday Biblical?

Leave a reply

“Whenever you fast, do not put on a gloomy face as the hypocrites do, for they neglect their appearance so that they will be noticed by men when they are fasting. Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full. Matthew 6:16

Is Ash Wednesday Biblical? Many Christians around the world and from many denominations will practice the ritual of “Ash Wednesday”, where they will put ashes on their forehead, but is this really Biblical?

Jesus taught us when we fast, not to let anyone know about it. Don’t neglect your appearance or put on a gloomy face so people will recognize you. Christianity always comes down to the heart, are you doing this to please God or to please man?

“But you, when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face Matthew 6:17

Jesus goes on to teach us to wash your face and anoint your head with oil not ashes.. Most importantly “Ash Wednesday” or even “Lent” is nowhere mentioned in The Bible and are man-made traditions. Should Christians follow these practices? We must remember the root of Jesus teachings. Praying and Fasting are not to be public spectacles to prove our righteousness. They should be done in private with your personal relationship with God

so that your fasting will not be noticed by men, but by your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you. Matthew 6:18

God knows everything we do, in public or secret. If your participating in customs like “Ash Wednesday” make sure it’s not to be noticed or prove your holiness. So is “Ash Wednesday” Biblical? No. Although I respect everyone’s proclamation to display their faith in Christ, I think we need to be careful not to be hypocrites and doing it for the wrong reasons. Ultimately its everyone personal decision between them and God to make.
