Counting of The Omer (Counting The 50 Days or 7 Sabbaths Biblically Until Pentecost/Shavuot (Feast of Weeks): Day 33 Thank you to Brother Will for being the conduit through which Our Father used to inspire this message. I praise God Almighty for My Brothers and Sisters! - An Acronym: B.R.O. - Believe, Repent, Obey. From The Beginning, The Holy Pattern It is a common trap of the enemy that, as our faith grows, he tries to build our pride in what a "good person" we have become. We must Beware! We all know the verse in Peter about the devil walking around "like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour" and we must always be on "the watch." Just as Our Father can take the bad and use it for His Good, also the devil will try to use this good thing, our faith and good deeds, for his nefarious purposes. One of the enemy's favorite sins is pride and he wants nothing more than to tempt us into pride in ourselves, or judgement of others who seemingly "aren't as good as we are." It is a prudent thing for us to remember the words of Our Father written through Paul in Romans 3:20 and 3:23: “Therefore by the deeds of the law (good works) no flesh will be justified in His sight,...” Romans 3:20 NKJV “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,” Romans 3:23 NKJV As we can see in Our Father’s Word, it doesn't matter how "good" we are, Our Father still sees us the same. In fact, let's take a look at what Our Savior says: “So Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God.” Luke 18:19 NKJV There you have it... "No one is good"... but God Alone. So what is it that we do? How do we continue to operate in God's Goodness if we aren't good? I believe God's Word answers the questions above. From the beginning, Our Father has given us a message about the pattern we must follow. Remember, Abraham was considered "righteous by faith" and we must have faith in order to operate in God's Goodness. Let's take a look at this pattern Our Father has laid out for us in His Word. Our Father used a close Brother of mine to share this pattern with me and that seed grew. Here is the acronym and the pattern that we must follow as given in The Word. The acronym is BRO (how fitting, right?) 1.) B - Believe - Believe in God Our Father to do Good and Believe in Our King and Savior Yeshua Jesus Christ. “But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.” Hebrews 11:6 NKJV 2.) R - Repent - Let go of the pride, lust, wanting, and other things that are not good for you and turn back to God. He Will Do The Work Inside Of You if He sees you turning back to Him. It has always been Him doing the good things in us from the first time we came to Him, so all we need do is "turn back" and let Him Continue His Good Work In us. “and saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand!” Matthew 3:2 NKJV “if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.” II Chronicles 7:14 NKJV 3.) O - Obey - Listen to what God is saying to you in His Word, His Commandments, and His Stories on falling and redemption. Put your faith into action. Be kind and generous to others. Most importantly "Love God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength and love your neighbor as yourself." “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?” Jesus said to him, “ ‘You shall love The LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.” Matthew 22:36-40 NKJV Believe, Repent, Obey. From the beginning, The Holy Pattern. In the end our goodness or righteousness doesn't come from us being good, but by God Our Father, and His Son Yeshua, being good enough for all of us. God allowed us a way through Yeshua, Jesus Christ, to be forgiven. This forgiveness, this cleansing, this rejuvenated state of being brought to us through Our Savior and by God Our Father, is the beginning of the process to one day complete “The Good Work Our Father Began in us.” “I thank my God upon every remembrance of you, always in every prayer of mine making request for you all with joy, for your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ; just as it is right for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart, inasmuch as both in my chains and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel, you all are partakers with me of grace. For God is my witness, how greatly I long for you all with the affection of Jesus Christ.” Philippians 1:3-8 NKJV Dear God, Abba Yah, Our Father In Heaven, forgive us for the wrong we have done. Help us to stay in Your Grace and not become prideful and judgmental of others in whom we can't see Your Work being done. We know that if it was up to us ourselves... we would be doomed. Thank You Father Almighty for sending Yeshua Your Son for us. Because of Jesus you see us as righteous, You Forgive Us, You Give Us Communion With You, and You help us to walk in that which is right, Your Way. Thank You Father for Yeshua Jesus! We Praise You, We Worship You, We Bless You, and We Love You! It is in Your Son, The King and Savior's Name, Yeshua Jesus Christ we pray. Amen!
