The Free Gift of the Passover Lamb

Do we make up a formula on our own strength or see something that worked for someone and say; "This is how it is?" This is religion.  It is me telling someone that this is what works apart from God.
 You can`t make a new cart and place the presence of God on the cart and carry it where you want to take it.  The Presence is carried within every believer. It resides within every one of us, convicting and maturing us at every turn. King David in the Bible made a new cart for the Presence of God, then He tried to bring the Ark up to Jerusalem.  Uzzah (which means human strength),  was operating in His own strength, he reached out to steady the ark of the covenant, touching the Ark, Uzzah dies.  God wanted them to know it was not the strength of man that protected His Presence. Adonai(God), is all-powerful and does not need our help, He wants us to serve him.  Thus, in doing so we proclaim His Name for his Glory and not our own glory.  There is never a time when we are without sin as long as we live, till we will reach glory.  Don`t be depressed when I say that.  God has provided the Passover Lamb.  The perfect Lamb without spot or blemish.  His only Son.  We just have to apply the Blood to the doorpost of our hearts, just as the Israelites had to paint the blood of the Lamb on the doorposts of their houses, we symbolically ask for the blood of the slain Lamb (Yeshua) to be placed on the door-posts of our hearts.  The angel of death will pass over us and we will live eternally.  The awesome thing is that this blood was ALWAYS for anyone who believed. In Egypt, if an Egyptian placed the blood on their doorposts that night-there was no death in that house.  The same is today, whether we are Jew or Gentile the same Blood of the Lamb applies for all mankind.  If you are Jewish, you can read the predicted crucifixion of the Jewish Messiah in Psalms 22.  Yes, the crucifixion story Is in the Jewish Scriptures.  It is a story of the father giving His only Son to redeem the the human race.  Just as He brought the Israelites out of Egypt with an OUTSTRETCHED arm and signs and wonders; Yeshua performed signs and wonders when He came and with outstretched arms He gave His life freely for us that the angel of death would pass us by.   The Passover lamb was to be roasted whole-not a bone in the body was to be broken.  The same way Yeshua died, before the soldiers could brake His legs He died(not a bone in His body was broken).   As He was breathing His last breath-He spoke "It is finished" the sacrifice was completed.  These are the exact words according to history that the High Priest said when the offering was completed.  Nothing happens by chance, every little detail happened according to what God had laid out for the Jewish people.  Yeshua was even placed on the cross the time of the morning sacrifice and died at the time of the evening sacrifice.  See, there were always 2 sacrifices every day that were offered.  Yeshua had to fulfill both of them.  He died exactly when the High Priest was offering that Passover Lamb.  God was trying to get the message to us.  It was His will that Yeshua die.  It was the plan from the foundation of the world.  He is the Bridge that takes us over the chasm that sin causes to again be in right standing with our Father, Adonai.
Today the important question is;
Is the Blood of the Lamb covering your heart?  All we need to do is ask and Yeshua (Jesus) removes all sin, guilt and pain.  I ask you today to give Him your heart, your pain, your hurt, whatever has been done to you, hand it over to your Dad, He loves you with an ever-lasting love.
Do you believe Him?
He offers this free gift for ALL, none of us are without sin and we all are in need of a Savior.
He is our Savior, let Him in, He will/has already done the perfect work, sacrificing HIS LIFE for YOUR LIFE.
Blessings in Yeshua.

What is Agape LOVE?

This word does not refer to anything religious in nature, but has been used in the New Covenant.   This word represents divine, unconditional, self-sacrificing, active, volitional(on purpose action), and thoughtful love. 
It is a love where you actively lay down your life for others.  It is the only kind of LOVE that will draw someone to Jesus, sacrificial love.  It is the Love that Jesus demonstrated when He laid down His life for us.   This is the same love we demonstrate when we are truly acting in love.  
Agape love is also the Love of Surrender, giving up what we want to the Lordship of our King, Jesus.  This can be on behalf of another person or on a personal level.  What have we given up of our flesh today for the Glory of our King?

Hannah`s Prayer/Vow Changed History

There is a story in 1 Samuel 1-2 of a woman who was distraught, for you see she was barren.  She was married to a prominent man(Elkanah), from the tribe of Levi. 
According to the genealogical tables, Elkanah was, a Levite, a fact otherwise not mentioned in the books of Samuel.

It is also mentioned that Elkanah was a gatekeeper for the Ark.

 

Hannah was the loved wife but again as in the story of Leah and Rachel, she was barren.  Her rival wife(Peninah), taunted Hannah as Penninah had many children.
Even Elkanah said to her, "Is not my love for you better than ten sons." Almost annoyed at her for being so sorrowful over the barrenness of her womb. 
Every year they would go to Shilo (the place of the Tabernacle), to offer sacrifice and burnt offerings to the Lord.
Here is the rest of the story:
1 Sam. 1:9
So Hannah rose after they had eaten and drunk in Shiloh. Now Eli the priest was sitting on his seat beside a post of the temple (tent) of the Lord.
    ¹⁰And [Hannah] was in distress of soul, praying to the Lord and weeping bitterly.
    ¹¹She vowed, saying, O Lord of hosts, if You will indeed look on the affliction of Your handmaid and [earnestly] remember, and not forget Your handmaid but will give me a son, I will give him to the Lord all his life; no razor shall touch his head.
    ¹²And as she continued praying before the Lord, Eli noticed her mouth.
    ¹³Hannah was speaking in her heart; only her lips moved but her voice was not heard. So Eli thought she was drunk.
    ¹⁴Eli said to her, How long will you be intoxicated? Put wine away from you.
    ¹⁵But Hannah answered, No, my lord, I am a woman of a sorrowful spirit. I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but I was pouring out my soul before the Lord.^{(A)
    16}Regard not your handmaid as a wicked woman; for out of my great complaint and bitter provocation I have been speaking.
    ¹⁷Then Eli said, Go in peace, and may the God of Israel grant your petition which you have asked of Him.
    ¹⁸Hannah said, Let your handmaid find grace in your sight. So [she] went her way and ate, her countenance no longer sad.
    ¹⁹The family rose early the next morning, worshiped before the Lord, and returned to their home in Ramah. Elkanah knew(INTIMACY) Hannah his wife, and the Lord remembered her.
    ²⁰Hannah became pregnant and in due time bore a son and named him Samuel [heard of God], Because, she said, I have asked him of the Lord.
    ²¹And Elkanah and all his house went up to offer to the Lord the yearly sacrifice and pay his vow.
    ²²But Hannah did not go, for she said to her husband, I will not go until the child is weaned, and then I will bring him, that he may appear before the Lord and remain there as long as he lives.
    ²³Elkanah her husband said to her, Do what seems best to you. Wait until you have weaned him; only may the Lord establish His word. So Hannah remained and nursed her son until she weaned him.
    ²⁴When she had ^[a]weaned him, she took him with her, with a three-year-old bull, an ephah of flour, and a skin bottle of wine [to pour over the burnt offering for a sweet odor], and brought Samuel to the Lord's house in Shiloh. The child was growing.
    ²⁵Then they slew the bull, and brought the child to Eli.
    ²⁶Hannah said, Oh, my lord! As your soul lives, my lord, I am the woman who stood by you here praying to the Lord.
    ²⁷For this child I prayed, and the Lord has granted my petition made to Him.
    ²⁸Therefore I have given him to the Lord; as long as he lives he is given to the Lord. And they worshiped the Lord there.
    Hannah made a VOW to the Lord and she kept it.
 Do you know that Samuel was probably 3 years old when Hannah gave Samuel to the Lord?
He was a tiny little toddler.  But Hannah made a VOW to the Lord and she kept it.
How many times do we make promises to the Lord based on a desire of our hearts and then we fail to keep the VOW?  Can you imagine giving up your toddler of 3 years old to leave him with a man who was old and whose sons were very ungodly? 
Hannah could not drive to see Samuel when she missed him.  She saw him once a year and brought him a beautiful coat each time.
But it was this very act of Faith that changed history-for you see it was a very Dark time for Israel and they were not following after God.  But it took the PRAYER/VOW of one woman to ACT and keep her VOW to God to change the nation of Israel and bring them back to God.
She believed her God, no matter what her present situation.
Are you believing God today, no matter what situation of circumstance is present in your life?
Are you going to be a History changer because of your UNWAVERING FAITH in your God-THE MOST HIGH GOD-the only true God-Adonai?

SHUT AWAY WITH GOD.

Worship is YOU shut away with God. You can be in a crowded room, but its just you and God.
Do you suppose that this is what the woman with the issue of blood was feeling as she pressed herself close to the Master Yeshua? Do you suppose she forgot about those who were around her telling her she was UNCLEAN? Do you suppose she allowed fear to enter her mind, to keep her from accomplishing her goal? No, she accomplished her goal.  The goal was to be healed, by touching the Messiah of the world. This woman accomplished her goal.
Today, the question to us is, what is the desire of your heart that is in accordance with the will of God?
Are we willing to not care what others are shouting around us? Are we willing to press through till we see Yeshua-the Glory Cloud?
It is all about touching His garments and knowing who HE is and the power that imitates from Him.  When you touch someone you have contact with them.  We rarely touch someone we do not know.
Speak these words from scripture over your life and your families lives by putting your names into the scripture. We must speak forth words of FAITH. The spoken word then activates the things that are unseen.
Ephesians 1 says;
¹⁷[For I always pray to] the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, that He may grant you a spirit of wisdom and revelation [of insight into mysteries and secrets] in the [deep and intimate] knowledge of Him,
    ¹⁸By having the eyes of your heart flooded with light, so that you can know and understand the hope to which He has called you, and how rich is His glorious inheritance in the saints (His set-apart ones),
    ¹⁹And [so that you can know and understand] what is the immeasurable and unlimited and surpassing greatness of His power in and for us who believe, as demonstrated in the working of His mighty strength,
    ²⁰Which He exerted in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His [own] right hand in the heavenly [places],
    ²¹Far above all rule and authority and power and dominion and every name that is named [above every title that can be conferred], not only in this age and in this world, but also in the age and the world which are to come.
