Was waiting with such excitement over today’s reading. No, its not because I wanted to read about blood and slaughter! But such deep symbolism of the ultimate deliverance that was to take place with the Lamb of God. The power of the deliverance in exodus evoked weeping and wailing never since heard, according to the Word. Yet, it was a mere shadow, a foretaste perhaps of the ultimate power of deliverance and victory that was beheld at Calvary. At Calvary, only a few stood watching as the Lamb drew his last breath on the cross. Yet the power over sin and death, resonated from the present and reached into the far reaches of the past and then into the distant future. wiping clean and making a way! AWESOME!
The Lord initiated a brand new year for the Jews with the deliverance aka Passover being the primary focus of the new year that was to be passed down to all generations. I am not planning to turn “jewish” but I do believe it is pertinent that the Lord required the start of every year to commence with a time of REMEMBRANCE of the deliverance. I believe its important that all believers (gentiles-hear hear!) to start their year remembering the blood of Jesus that bought their salvation has given us all the purpoose to live! Because He lives, I live too!
What to do in between miracles? Renember. (Daily Walk Bible)
I did some remembering. Realised that no matter what I face this year… His miracles of yesterday prove that He can still work miracles today!
Oh Dear this is getting to be a long post! But I simply had to share about last night’s amazing start to the Mission Weekend. This pastor was a devout Muslim. In his own words, A Muslim amongst Muslims! (sounds familiar ehh?!) He had long seasons where he read the Quran cover to cover every 10 days! He memorized chunks of it! Makes me so shy that we are trying to read the bible in one year and even that is a challenge to the average person! *convicted*
His supernatural conversion and encounter…not once but many times revealed a personal living life transforming and forgiving Father God. It was not hard facts that won him over. Not grand gestures of miracles (aka parting of the red sea), but it was the love of the Father that never gave up! Without this love that never gives up, we can so easily give up any call to the Great Commission. Its easy to let our prayers and efforts for our loved ones fizzle out when the love gives up. Our human love will give up. God’s love in us is another matter altogether
More WORD and MORE PRAYER will yield a transformed live that overflows with His LOVE, that never gives up!
Missions started out with receiving the Love of the Father. Brilliant start. No guilt giving people.
Love giving. Love praying. Love going.
