Happy Feast of First Fruits and Resurrection Sunday Everybody!!!
Father thank You for this NEW DAY. We THANK YOU for continuing YOUR GOOD WORKS yesterday, today, and forevermore. May we continually thank You for Your Salvation YESHUA, OUR RESURRECTED SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST, and being OUR GOD!!! - His Peace He Has Given Us It may seem strange when in John 14 Yeshua (Jesus) talks about His Peace. We can only imagine it was the last thing on the disciples mind. Our Savior had just told them that He would no longer be with them. Although this must have been a confusing moment for the disciples, they would soon understand what The Teacher was saying and they would rejoice. What Yeshua, Jesus, did tell them though is that they, regardless of His temporary departure, would have Peace. Now Our Savior wasn't speaking about a peace that would come from anything in this world. He wasn't speaking about a peace that we get from a great retirement, a steady job, or the peace we can have when everything is "going our way," but instead He was speaking about a peace that we could possess even in the most difficult of circumstances. In fact, Our Savior was speaking about a Peace that surpasses all understanding. Let's take a look at The Word: “But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you. Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” John 14:26-27 “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:6-7 When we read Exodus 12 we see Our Father explaining to Moses and Aaron how God's People were to celebrate Passover. They were suppose to apply The Blood of The Lamb to their doorposts and then gather inside for a family meal. Today, we commonly call this a Seder (Order) Service. The families and neighbors would apply The Blood of The Lamb to the doorposts, and then they could eat with peace and safety as death "passed over" them. Praise Our Father in Heaven He gave us this foreshadowing, because now we can understand in a more full way how Yeshua, Jesus Christ, Our Savior allows us to enter into His Peace because of His Blood. After all, He Is The Passover Lamb. Through His blood we are "sealed" and allowed to be in a full relationship with Our Father. Our Father offers us favor, protection, saving power, and most importantly His Presence. Because of His kind and merciful sacrifice we get these wonderful benefits...Free! HalleluYah! Right? 😎🙌🔥 We have been going through the series "David: The Anointed King of Israel," lately. Let's see how the genius poet wrote about Our Father's Heavenly Presence: “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over.” Psalms 23:4-5 Something To Think About: Our Father's Word tells us... “Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, “Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down. And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.” Revelation 12:10-11 When we feel troubled, afraid, anxious, or are hurting, may we all remember that The Blood Of The Lamb, Our Savior Yeshua, Jesus Christ's Blood, is painted upon the doorposts of our lives. May we all rejoice in Him! Prayer: Dear Father God, please accept our first fruits of praise and work. Father, please put inside us a desire to give ourselves completely to You and to be more like Our Perfect Example, Your Son Yeshua, Jesus Christ. Help us to understand with a more full understanding just how amazing it is that which You have done for us. As we observe Your Holy Week of Passover, where You gave The Greatest Sacrifice ever known to man, Yourself, we ask You with humble and contrite hearts to soften us and help us to offer You our very best. Help us to be more humble and meek like Your Son, The Passover Lamb, Our Eternal and Mighty Savior Yeshua, Jesus Christ. We ask You for all these things in His Mighty and Perfect Name. Thank you, Bless You, and We Love You. Amen! God Bless Everybody and have a Wonderful, First Fruits, Perfect Passover Lamb-Filled Day! Due to a schedule conflict there will be no devotion sent out tomorrow. We will pick back up on Passover Tuesday. Until then, may we all do as Our Brother Peter wrote in God's Word: “Honor all people. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor The King.” I Peter 2:17 He Is Risen! 😃🙌🔥
