Kingdom Vessels

Jesus is being set up at a feast with a guest who had dropsy or fluid retention issues. He heals him and shuts their mouths. He confronts the guests conduct and the hosts, full of self. He delineates parables about feasts, excuses, building, going to war to help them see themselves. He wants a FULL HOUSE but it has its costs Luke 14:35

This delineation of exchange of negative for positive IN MY ESTIMATION commences with the birth of the Christ child and continues throughout our generations. It is not just for the Second Coming in my view.

Whatever your situation or circumstance GOD HAS NOT FORGOTTEN & will DELIVER YOU. like He prepared Moses, Esther, Joshua, David, Deborah and Jesus. He will bring you out.

Paul’s unabashed, unmitigated love and 6 prayers for the church at Philippi despite the fact of his bondage.

We are in the midst of Hanukkah, preparing to crossover into the nativity and Gregorian New Year but issues like variants keep popping up. Keep your feet 👣 in His pathway. You will not fail or do without. Ps. 17:5; 37:23; Jer. 10:23; Isaiah 30:21; Psalm 1; John 14:17, 16:13, 10:9. No fear of the arrow by day nor the moon by night nor the pestilence that walks in darkness .Psalm 91

The body, the heart, the mind, the soul, the Spirit, the land, the earth require rest like God did on the 7th day. Gen.2:2; Ps116:7; Job 3:17; Jer. 6:16; Matt. 11:28; Lev. 25:5. Rest heals, restores, enlightens, heightens creativity, precludes burnout and diseases, makes intimacy with God readily accessible.

Why he and his household were blessed of God

The ark: Familiarity brings contempt; Though David was anointed appointed accepted and a type of Christ, God is no respecter of persons; watch how you handle God, His possessions, His people. See Part 2 next

Remember during the holiday season that many are hurting, broken, do not know and have not received the Christ Who set us free. Let’s protect our liberty while introducing them to their. The love of Christ constrains us.

Saul had been ordered to rid the land of every aspect of the grievous sin of Amalekite King Agag but hid the spoils. The prophet Samuel had to come down and complete the work. Saul’s rejection of God’s Word cost him his kingdom and his life.

God wants the table full, His house full and is not willing that any should perish. All invited rejected the invitation with ONE CONSENT (v.18) the reverse of Pentecost “one accord”. The very things He blessed them with, they used to deny Him !!!

Philippians 3:9; Titus 3:1; 2 Cor. 3 God’s long suffering will see you through the what I was in your life and project you into what you shall be though it doth not yet appear…

Comparative analysis of “the dead”. Those Jesus preached to in Luke 2:49; were no different than the imprisoned souls of 1 Peter 3:19 and both the products of dead worship, leadership, tradition characterized in Matthew 23. Jesus and Isaiah 61 proclaimed a new day.

God is faithful regardless what we see or experience that appears contrary. He not only “will do” BUT ALREADY HAS DONE just what Hd said in His Word What’s new is New to us but to Him there is nothing new under the sun bc He calls the end from the BEGINNING!

“All Israel” returned to Jerusalem under Zerubabel, Joshua, Nehemiah and Ezra including the Nethinim, hewers of wood and carriers of water as servants of the temple Its time to return and rebuild with passion and commitment. Fascinating servants 1 out of every 50 of every tribe. Not all Israelites who were exiled chose to return!

The disciples are ready to use force, flesh, to throw down at every turn while others are full of excuses. One extreme hot and overzealous. Other extreme lukewarm verging on cold . Neither Kingdom Conscious = Love

The earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea. It is His Presence. He is love. Love is that Glorrrrry. Love is what will cause use to fulfill the Go ye therefore to all nations mandate to the uttermost parts of the earth. We must be as HE IS…loving!
