Happy Feast of Unleavened Bread Day 2 Tuesday…
Thank You FATHER for this NEW DAY. HELP US to live aware, to choose wisely, to stay close to You, and “PASSOVER” FROM our old lives of SIN AND DEATH into Your New Life for us, and INTO YOUR TRUTH. Help us to be as YOUR LIVING “UNLEAVENED BREAD” that represents YOUR SON & OUR KING and His SINLESS, PERFECT Life. Thank You for YOUR GREAT LOVE AND MERCY! Thank You that You SANCTIFY US, and You DELIVER US as represented in Your Passover Meal. We come to You TODAY, choosing to walk in YOUR PRESENCE AND LIGHT. In YESHUA, JESUS CHRIST’s Name we pray. AMEN! Learning from Our Messiah is one of the most glorious honors we will ever get. Yeshua, Jesus Christ, is perfect, sinless, always right, merciful, mindful, and The One Example we can ALWAYS count on to be correct. Tomorrow we will get into some of the lesser known treasures of Passover, but today let's let Our King give us some examples of Living and praying in The Way. May we constantly be reminded of Our King and Savior’s Way… The Way. God Bless everybody, have a wonderful "unleavened" day, and may revelation of Our Father and Savior's Word abound with you today. Shalom! “Therefore, my dear friends, since we have these promises, let us purify ourselves from everything that can defile either body or spirit, and strive to be completely Holy, out of reverence for God.” 2 Corinthians (2 Co) 7:1 CJB - The Passover... EVERYTHING (Part 2): Our Unleavened (Sinless) Perfect Example In honor of Our Passover Lamb and First Fruits Yeshua, let's take a few moments to look at Him, Our Perfect Example, when it comes to following and obeying Our Father. Today we will look at some of the prayers and actions of Jesus in the gospels of Matthew and Mark. As we read The Word today and see how Jesus prayed, what Jesus prayed for, and where He addressed Our Father, let us examine our own prayer life and let the words of Our Savior Strengthen Us. May we all be not only strengthened by His Words, but may His Words also soften our hearts toward our brethren and help us to pray for our enemies. Today we will be using both the CJB and NKJV for clarity purposes. Prayer: Father God, we ask You to open our hearts and minds today so that we may understand the words of Your Son in His Prayers to You. Help us to see what is really being said and not just what is "on the surface" Father. As we read Your Word we ask You to move inside us, light a fire, and let it burn continually. We love You, thank You, and praise You all the days of our lives. In Yeshua, Jesus Christ's Mighty Name we pray. Amen. The Prayers and Fruit (Actions) of Yeshua: “It was at that time that Yeshua said, “I thank You, Father, LORD of Heaven and Earth, that You concealed these things from the sophisticated and educated and revealed them to ordinary folks. Yes, Father, I thank you that it pleased You to do this.” Matthew 11:25-26 CJB “At that time Jesus answered and said, “I thank You, Father, LORD of Heaven and Earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and prudent and have revealed them to babes. Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in Your Sight.” Matthew 11:25-26 NKJV “After He had sent the crowds away, He went up into the hills by Himself to pray. Night came on, and He was there alone.” (Matthew) 14:23 CJB “And He took the seven loaves and the fish and gave thanks, broke them and gave them to His disciples; and the disciples gave to the multitude.” Matthew 15:36 NKJV “Now in the morning, having risen a long while before daylight, He went out and departed to a solitary place; and there He prayed.” Mark 1:35 NKJV “And when He had sent them away, He departed to the mountain to pray.” Mark 6:46 NKJV “Then they came to a place which was named Gethsemane; and He said to His disciples, “Sit here while I pray.” And He took Peter, James, and John with Him, and He began to be troubled and deeply distressed. Then He said to them, “My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and watch.” He went a little farther, and fell on the ground, and prayed that if it were possible, the hour might pass from Him. And He said, “Abba, Father, all things are possible for You. Take this cup away from Me; nevertheless, not what I will, but what You Will. ” Then He came and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, “Simon, are you sleeping? Could you not watch one hour? Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” Again He went away and prayed, and spoke the same words.” Mark 14:32-39 NKJV What can we take from these passages?: Yeshua was alone most of the time when He went to prayed. "He often withdrew to lonely places and prayed."(Luke 5:16) 1.) Pray alone when seeking Our Father - Yeshua, Jesus tells us: “But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in The Secret Place; and your Father Who Sees In Secret will reward you openly.” Matthew 6:6 NKJV 2.) Our Father In Heaven reveals to His innocent, ordinary followers with childlike faith and Yeshua thanks Him for this. - Believe in Our Father in Heaven like a young child believes their father on earth... wholeheartedly and without doubt. A good child listens, and obeys. Be innocent and blameless, following the example of our Messiah. Our Father will use us where we are, we don’t have to be the extraordinary, we just have to be available. “For you see your calling, brethren, that not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called. But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty; and the base things of the world and the things which are despised God has chosen, and the things which are not, to bring to nothing the things that are, that no flesh should glory in His Presence.” I Corinthians 1:26-29 NKJV 3.) When Yeshua was with people, He fed them. - We should be feeding others The Word of God A.K.A. The Bread of Life 4.) When He was alone He pleaded with His Father, but still submitted to His Will. - We can share with Our Father in Heaven our fears, and make our requests, but we must realize His Will is ALWAYS better than ours. 5.) When He was with His disciples they stayed awake, when Yeshua left, they fell asleep. - Stay focused on Yeshua. Praise God for His Beautiful Message in The Life of Yeshua (Salvation), Jesus Christ! May we all glean from The King. God Bless each and everyone of you on the other side of this screen. Have a great God-Filled day and continue to be a Light of Our Father through Yeshua. A Christ-centered life is like a good watch: open face, busy hands, pure gold, and full of good works. ~Unknown Please leave any questions, comments, insights, Biblical Nuggets, encouragement, prayer requests, or thoughts in the comments below.
