Inspiration - How Great Is Love

"How Great Is Love"

Once upon a time, there was an island where all the feelings lived:
Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge, and all of the others including

LOVE.

One day it was announced to the feelings that the island would sink,
so all prepared their boats and left the island. LOVE was
the only one who stayed behind. You see, LOVE wanted to wait
until the last possible moment before leaving.

The island was almost sunk, and LOVE decided to ask for help.
Richness was passing by LOVE in a grand boat. LOVE said
"Richness, can you take me with you?" Richness answered,
"No, I can't. There is a lot of gold and silver in my boat.
There is no place for you."

LOVE decided to ask Vanity who was also passing by in a beautiful vessel,  "Vanity, please help me!" I can't help you LOVE. You are all wet and might damage my boat," Vanity answered.

Sadness was close by so ... LOVE called to Sadness for help,
but Sadness answered ... "LOVE, I am so sad that I need to be by myself!"

Happiness passed by LOVE too; Happiness did not hear the cry for help for Happiness was so happy.

Suddenly, there was a voice, "Come LOVE, I will take you":
It was an Elder's name. When they arrived at dry land,
the Elder went on Its way. 
LOVE realizing how much it owed the Elder
asked Knowledge, another Elder, "Who helped me?"

"It was Time", Knowledge answered. "Time?" asked LOVE,
"But why did Time help me?"
Knowledge smiled with deep Wisdom and answered,
"Because only Time is capable of understanding how
"GREAT LOVE IS."

Spiriitual Sharing - Jews For Jesus

"Jews For Jesus"

During my 18 months stay in Virginia, one Sunday in our Church, the Minister invited a gentleman named David Brickner to speak to the congregation.

David Brickner is the head of "Jews For Jesus" which is headquartered in San Francisco with offices throughout The World. What he shared with us was very enlightening and touched me in the depths of my soul.


"Jews For Jesus" are the children of Israel who have accepted Beloved Almighty Lord Jesus Christ as Their Messiah. 

In doing so they experience:

• Often times being disowned by their family.
• Unable to attend The Temple.
• Unable to be buried in a Jewish cemetery
• Being spit upon and threatened with bodily harm by other Jews during there Evangelistic work.

The above are only some of the things our Jewish Brethren endure. But there reward is bringing another of our Brethren "Home" into "Our Beloved Holy Body of Christ".

I was so touched with what David shared with us that I have been supporting their work every since. I receive beautiful handwritten "Thank you"postcards from the recipients of my sharing. They are so uplifting, they always seem to arrive at just "the right time".

They have held a campaign called "Behold Your God" in the United States which was very successful and now they have the same campaign in Israel. In October they will hold "Behold Your God -Galilee".

I am so excited, I am actually through our Brethren seeing "The Bible" unfold in living color. "The Word" manifesting in The Earth in a good and positive way.

Please Visit The Website: "Jews For Jesus"

They have a wonderful free informative introductory packet through the mail. They publish a "Newsletter" monthly filled with enlightening information that you can receive by mail or Email.


Thank you for allowing me to share a very special part of my life.

Who Are We As Christians? Part 7

Our Beloved Almighty Lord Jesus Christ As Our Great High Priest Part 6:

Hebrews Chapter 7:

11. "If therefore perfection (everything was complete)were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron?"

12. "For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law."

13. "For he of whom these things are spoken pertaineth (belong) to another tribe, of which no man gave attendance at the altar."

14. "For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda; of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood."

15. "And it is far more evident: for that after the similitude (likeness) of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest,"

16. "Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment (legal requirement), but after the power of an endless life."

17. "For he testifieth, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec." (Psalm 110:4)

18. "For there is verily a disannuling (setting aside) of the commandment going before the weakness and unprofitableness thereof."

19. "For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh (near) unto God."

20. "And inasmuch as not without an oath he was made priest:"

21. "(For those priests were made without an oath; but this an oath by him that said unto him, The Lord sware and will not repent [change his mind], Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec:)" (Psalm 110:4)

22. "By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament."

23. "And they truly were many priests, because they were not suffered (allowed) to continue by reason of death:"

24. "But this man, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood."

25. "Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them."

26. "For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;"

27. "Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this he did (has done) once (once for all), when he offered up himself."

28. "For the law maketh men high priests which have infirmity (are weak); but the word of the oath, which was since the law, maketh (appoints) the Son, who is consecrated (perfect) for evermore."

Hebrews Chapter 8:

1. "NOW of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens;"

2. "A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man."

3. "For every high priest is ordained (appointed) to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is of necessity that this man have somewhat also to offer."

6. "But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises."

7. "For if that first covenant (agreement) had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second."

Inspiration - Pleasing The Father

I Received This Message by Email.

"This is My Beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased." Matthew 3:17

When Jesus stepped into the River Jordan to be baptized by John, He was stepping into the fullness of God's purpose for His Life.

Have you ever stopped to think that when Jesus walked into those waters they were teeming with the sins of mankind?

John had baptized multitudes there, their sins figuratively passing from them into the Sea of God's forgetfulness just as the waters of the Jordan end up in the Dead Sea.

Now you might think: "How awful! Jesus is wading into sin." But Jesus was doing so to fulfill the purpose of God - redemption for you and me. Jesus was exactly where God wanted Him to be, doing precisely what God wanted Him to do.

That is why Heaven announced: "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."

Don't expect God to speak up for you or cause others to see you for who you really are, until you are willing to step into the place He has called you to.

And that may mean stepping into some muddy waters!
But when you do you won't have to speak up for yourself, fight for yourself or demand anything of others.

God will command whatever forces are involved to yield to you, give to you, honor you, listen to you and obey you.

You will not have to grope for the right answer or wonder if something is right or wrong for you.

God will give you the ability and resources you need.

Why?

Because you are where He wants you to be, doing what He wants you to do!

Spiritual Sharing - How I Study

Years ago I was guided to "study" from "The Book of Psalms" daily. Upon finishing "The Book of Psalms" to continue on to "The Book of Proverbs. Upon finishing "The Book of Proverbs" to continue on to "The Book of Ecclesiastes" and finally to complete The Sequence with "The Book of The Song of Solomon".

I obeyed. I study at least 3 Psalms or 3 Chapters of "Proverbs" or 3 Chapters of "Ecclesiastes" or 1 Chapter of "Song of Solomon per day. I also study Psalm 119 "Meditations On The Law" daily. Studying 3 to 6 of them per day and then begin again. They are The Hebrew alphabet.

Each time I complete the above and begin again, I am moved to a new level of understanding.

They are very comforting on days when everything seems to be going wrong. It is a source of upliftment for me to see "The Promises" of God and to speak them out loud.



Thank you for continuing to study with me.

Who Are We As Christians? Part 6

Beloved Almighty Lord Jesus Christ As Our Great High Priest Part 5

Hebrews Chapter 5:

1. "FOR every high priest taken from among men is ordained (appointed) for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins:"

2. "Who can have compassion on the ignorant, and on them that are out of the way; for that he himself also is compassed with infirmity (surrounded by weakness)."

4. "And no man taketh this honour unto himself, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron."

5. "So also Christ glorified (exalted) not himself to be made an high priest; but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, to-day have I begotten thee." (Psalm 2:7)

NOTE: Psalm 2 is about our Beloved Lord and Saviour Jesus. We will examine It later. A clear understanding of Psalm 2 will allow you to see through "The Veil". Humbly ask our Beloved Almighty Lord Jesus Christ to reveal "The Mystery" of Psalm 2 to you, according to Luke 11:9-10: "And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you." "For everyone that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened."

6. "As he saith also in another place, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Mechisedec." (Psalm 110:4)

7. "Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared;"

8. "Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered.;"

9. "And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him:"

10. "Called of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec."

12. "For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles (truth) of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat."

13. "For everyone that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe."

14. "But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised (trained) to discern both good and evil."

Hebrews Chapter 6:

8. "But that which beareth thorns and briers is rejected, and is nigh (near) unto cursing; whose end is to be burned."

9. "But, beloved, we are persuaded (convinced) better things of you, and things that accompany (belong to) salvation, though we thus speak."

10. "For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name in that ye have ministered to (served) the saints, and do minister."

11. "And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence (high purpose) to the full assurance of hope unto the end:"

12. "That ye be not slothful (slow), but followers (imitators) of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises,"

13. "For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself."

15. "And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise."

17. "Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel (the permanent character of His word), confirmed it by an oath:"

18. "That by two immutable (unchangeable) things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:"

19. "Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast (fixed), and which entereth into that within the veil;"

20. "Whither the forerunner (first one) is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec."
