WHY DO WE GO BACK TO TAKING THE CREDIT?

OPEN MY EYES-OPEN MY EARS-OPEN MY HEART TO RECIEVE FROM YOU LORD REMOVE VEILS, MELT WAX, MAKE MY HEART TENDER TO YOU HOLY SPIRIT. 

It is pride when we take credit for something that Yeshua did for us.  Yeshua is the only one who gets the credit.  That`s why the Word says our righteousness is as filthy rags.  Yet why do we still wrap ourselves with those filthy rags.  Somehow our human nature just likes to get the credit for something.

When someone is redeemed it means that someone paid a PRICE for you. You did nothing and you cannot do anything to make yourself good enough to keep your redemption.  Either you are REDEEMED or you are NOT REDEEMED.  Does a piece of clothing that you bought at Kohls this week boast as it sits in your closet of what it did to get you to buy it?  Or did it give you a reason to buy(pay price) it?
No, you desired it and so you paid for it.  This is a little like what Yeshua has done, only were made in His image and His desire is to be in relationship with us.  He desires for us to know Him as He knows us.

Do we believe and have Faith in what Yeshua has done for us or do we have more FAITH in what we have done for Him?  Meaning, the things that we think make us pretty good to God(our righteous acts).  Or humanly we say, "I measure up."

The moment you allowed Yeshua to take over your live, you received SALVATION, you became as righteous as you will ever be.  Righteousness comes from Him and Yeshua does not half enter into your heart.  In Salvation Messiah is IN you the Hope of Glory.  THEN, WE ARE CHANGED FROM GLORY TO GLORY IN MESSIAH.  We go from Revelation to Revelation in Messiah.
Let us give our King the credit today, for what He died for.  Let us give Him all the Glory due Him. 

THE PERFECT COVENANT OF MESSIAH

OPEN MY EYES-OPEN MY EARS-OPEN MY HEART TO RECIEVE FROM YOU LORD REMOVE VEILS, MELT WAX, MAKE MY HEART TENDER TO YOU HOLY SPIRIT.

Their seems to be a question amongst believers today about the blood of the everlasting Covenant.  The new covenant  that the Father would make with the House of Israel,  when He would send His Son(Jer. 31:31).  This Son`s death would cause the believer to have Holy Spirit(the Mark of God-Ezek. 9, and Ephes 1) to be written upon our hearts and upon our minds-it says we will all know the Lord, from the least to the greatest(Jer. 31:34).  The written Law was fulfilled in Messiah.  Messiah(Christ), now has a BLOOD, EVERLASTING COVENANT with every one of us.  Praise God!
Do you go back to your A B Cs when you read and write now as a mature, grown adult?  No, I do not even think of my A B Cs when I read.  It was my foundation, so I would know how to read.  The same is with the Law, it taught me right and wrong.  But now the Law has been fulfilled in Messiah.  Messiah`s blood has made a New EverLasting Covenant that CANNOT be Destroyed.  Yeshua took back the Keys of Authority.  The enemy was destroyed in the Authority of the Blood Shed by Messiah.  Do we believe it, like the thief that died with Yeshua(Jesus)?

Hebrew 13:20-21 states,
Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant.  Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is well pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom [be] glory for ever and ever. Amen.
Here is the Greek interpretation of the Blood Everlasting Covenant.

BLOOD - EVERLASTING - COVENANT

Blood = hai ma = seat of life-=(today`s heme(blood) groups are derived today.)

Everlasting =  aiōnios
1) without beginning and end, that which always has been and always will be
2) without beginning

3) without end, never to cease, everlasting

Covenant = diathēkē
1) a disposition, arrangement, of any sort, which one wishes to be valid, the last disposition which one makes of his earthly possessions after his death, a testament or will(Yeshua`s death inaugurated the New Covenant-think about this; when a new president is inaugurated, does the old president still have authority?)

2) a compact, a covenant, a testament

a) God's covenant with Noah, etc.

*He has made you PERFECT through His blood!
Not of us-lest we could boast.  It is a GIFT without PRICE!
 
The word perfect=katartizō

1) to render, i.e. to fit, sound, complete

a) to mend (what has been broken or rent), to repair

1) to complete

b) to fit out, equip, put in order, arrange, adjust

1) to fit or frame for one's self, prepare

c) ethically: to strengthen, perfect, complete, make one what he ought to be


So today, do you know the ONE who paid the price for you?  Do you communicate and speak with the Holy Spirit?  Are you in RELATIONSHIP with the ONE who gives you LIFE, spiritually?
Draw near to Him, and He will draw near to you.
Abide in Him and He will abide in you.
You are connected to the ONE who is perfect.  His blood runs through your veins, making you perfect, changing you into His image, day-by-day.

CHAMBER OF HEWN STONE

The place where Yeshua was condemned by the Sanhedrin was in a place called The Chamber of Hewn Stone or Promenade of the High Priest.  In the same place years earlier Abraham had offered his Son Isaac on Mt. Moriah.  This area was where the Sanhedrin would meet to conduct their affairs and pass judgments.

Now the Temple was destroyed by Titus in 70 A.D.  In year 30 A.D. was the year of Yeshua`s crucifixion. When Yeshua died their was a great earthquake causing the Temple floor to crack by the enormous Lintel that held the curtain in front of the HOLY of HOLIES.

Matt. 27:45-52 Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour.  And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?   And some of them stood there, when they heard it, said, This man calleth Elijah.  And straightway one of them ran, and took a sponge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink.   And the rest said, Let be; let us see whether Elijah cometh to save him.  And Jesus cried again with a loud voice, and yielded up his spirit.  And behold, the veil of the temple was rent in two from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake; and the rocks were rent;  and the tombs were opened; and many bodies of the saints that had fallen asleep were raised;  and coming forth out of the tombs after his resurrection they entered into the holy city and appeared unto many. Now the centurion, and they that were with him watching Jesus, when they saw the earthquake, and the things that were done, feared exceedingly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.
   
According to Jewish history there was a huge lintel of stone weighing 30 tons and 30 feet in length sitting above the Veil, in front of the Holy Place.   When the earth quaked at Yeshua`s death this stone lintel fell upon the curtain in front of the Holy Place, splintering the curtain(veil) from top to bottom.  Thus cracking the very foundation of the Temple, causing The Chamber of Hewn Stone, which was 40 yards away from the entrance to the Holy Place, to be unsafe.  The Sanhedrin abandoned this place in 30 A.D.
The Talmud says, “Forty years before the destruction of the Temple, the Sanhedrin was BANISHED (from the Chamber of Hewn Stone) and sat in the trading station (on the Temple Mount)” - (Shabbat 15a).
This beautiful promenade of the High Priest (Chamber of Hewn Stone), was never used in Condemning anyone ever again.  Yeshua`s took all of are condemnation when He stood condemned, though He was innocent.  Physically ,the Father saw to it that His precious Son`s blood was not shed in vain.  The physical Temple had become unsafe thus unihabitable, because the earthly structure was uninhabited.  Literally Yeshua`s body(symbolic of the Temple) was nailed to the cross.  His Spirit(had to leave His torn physical body/temple) to enter the Heavenly Tabernacle where His blood was placed (as a COVERING), once for ALL TIME and ALL MANKIND, upon the Mercy Seat in the Throne Room before the Father. Blood is physically very sticky and very hard to remove once it has dried.  It stains whatever it is placed upon. 

There is therefore NOW, NO CONDEMNATION to those who are in Christ Jesus to those who walk not after the flesh but after the Spirit.
When the Law against adultery was thrown at the woman.  Yeshua said, “Neither do I condemn you, go and sin no more.”
Col. 2:14-15
14 having canceled the charge of our legal indebtedness, which stood against us and condemned us; he has taken it away, nailing it to the cross. 15 And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross.

HALLELUJAH!!

THE FATHER SENT HIS FAVORITE/BELOVED SON

This well in Shechem is also the place that the Father Jacob sent His FAVORITE SON Joseph to see how his brothers were faring.   Joseph was the beloved son of His Father.  Genesis 37:3-4 says, now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he [was] the son of his old age: and he made him a coat of many colors.  And when his brethren saw that their father loved him more than all his brethren, they hated him, and could not speak peaceably unto him.
Here is the account:
 Gen. 37:12-17 And his brethren went to feed their father's flock in Shechem.   And Israel said unto Joseph, Do not thy brethren feed [the flock] in Shechem? come, and I will send thee unto them. And he said to him, Here [am I].   And he said to him, Go, I pray thee, see whether it be well with thy brethren, and well with the flocks; and bring me word again. So he sent him out of the vale of Hebron, and he came to Shechem.    And a certain man found him, and, behold, [he was] wandering in the field: and the man asked him, saying, What seekest thou?   And he said, I seek my brethren: tell me, I pray thee, where they feed [their flocks].  And the man said, They are departed hence; for I heard them say, Let us go to Dothan. And Joseph went after his brethren, and found them in Dothan.

This well of Shechem was in a well watered, fertile valley.  This well was where even today very pure water is found.  Joseph(the beloved Son), arrived in Shechem (*meaning in Hebrew-back or part that holds the shoulder together-see below), at the Well that His Father had dug, Joseph did not find His brothers.  Joseph did not know where they had gone.  Joseph stumbled upon a man who said his brothers were seen in Dothan(meaning in Hebrew- two wells).

Jacob is a type or parallel  of God the Father, and Joseph is a type or parallel  of Yeshua.  The brothers are a type or parallel of the Jewish people.  When the Father asked the Son to go to His brethren, He surrendered and said “HERE AM I.” The Word says that Yeshua, was submissive, even unto death. (Phil. 2:8) The Father sent his Son to His brethren, to the place of  pure water that the Father had dug/provided.  The Father thought this was where Yeshua would find His brothers(drinking from the WATER of LIFE).  As Yeshua came for His Jewish brethren, many of them would not receive Him.  Yeshua wept over Jerusalem.  He said, He wished to have gathered them, as a mother hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but they were not willing.(Matt. 23:37)   Many had veils upon their eyes so that Salvation, and a people(the Gentiles), not beloved or called God`s people could be saved. (Rom. 9:25) 

Joseph`s coat of many colors is symbolic of the Messiah being the Savior for ALL the nations of the world.

Could it be that Dothan`s 2 wells are symbolic of people who love the Lord and the world?  Could it be people who are double dipping? Are we drinking pure and polluted water?  We are to be people in the world but not of the world.  Lets make sure we are ONLY drinking of the well of Shechem.   The 1 well with pure and living water.  “Come out and be separate, touch not the unclean thing.”
