{LX 591-19}
DECLARATION
For
[we are not] ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of
God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and
also to the Greek. For therein is the righteousness of God revealed
from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
{ Rom 1:16-17 KJV}
Sabbath Meditations
"TAZRIA/METZORA" (She conceives/Infected One )
Lev 12:1-15:33; 2Kings 4:42-5:19, 7:3-20; Luk 5:12-31
Then Adonai spoke to Moses saying: (2) “Speak to Bnei-Yisrael, instructing: If a woman conceives and bears a male child, then she will be unclean for seven days, as in the days of her niddah she will be unclean. {Lev 12:1-2 TLV}
SUNDAY MESSAGE
"MY WILLING IS PRESENT"
"MY DOING IS NOT!"
Rom 7:18
For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh; for the willing is present in me, but the doing of the good is not. {Rom 7:18 NASB}
OPENING PRAYER
Almighty Father, Lord Jesus, what capricious creatures we are. The moniker as sheep we wear is accurate to the hurt of our own selves. As our Creator, Shepherd and Master, my soul tells me that we can be a most frustrating lot. Dreamers with stiff necks, and a propensity to wander into trouble in the blink of an eye. Thank You Lord for loving and guiding us on this journey with Jesus the Christ, AMEN
MESSAGE
The Bible leads me to accept that even the Lord God Almighty has experienced epochs and seasons where, what we understand as FRUSTRATION, raises it ugly head! Certainly the Garden of Eden was perfect in the beginning but soon, evil crept in and Adam wandered into darkness. Then Cain killed his brother Abel.
Just as our opening Romans verse conveys, we all know how to do right, but more often than not, we choose not to do what is necessary to accomplish God's will!
Case in point; at home, I suffer from an affliction called Minute-itis. The condition will often obscure my better judgment and I fall short of delivering on a completed job or task. Here is an example; My darling bride, Linda says, "Gary, will you do such and such? To which I reply, Yes, IN A MINUTE! Several hours go by and Linda reminds me, and again SORRY...I'll get it in a MINUTE!
When it comes to our duty to our God, do we respond quickly and accomplish the task at hand or.. Do we silently say to ourselves, IN A MINUTE, LORD! ?
I'll get back to answer this question in A FEW MINUTES!
In Rom 7:15-25 -The scripture reads as if Paul was having a conversation with himself. That is nothing unusual in my thinking. We can often discover solutions that we might have missed in silent meditation, but by speaking out loud to your self; hearing our own voices as someone else might hear us. Some would be quite surprised how quickly a solution can be vetted through the process of talking to yourself!!
There is a lot of scripture so I will be paraphrasing the following monologue the Apostle Paul was having; For what I am doing, I do not understand; for I am not practicing what I would like to do, [instead] I am doing the very thing I hate.
(16) In verse 16; Paul continues--But if I do the very thing I do not want to do, I agree with the Law, confessing [through my own actions] that the Law is good.
(17) So now, no longer am I the one doing it, but sin which dwells in me.
(18) For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh; for the willing is present in me, but the doing of the good is not. For the good that I want, I do not do, but I practice the very evil that I do not want.
(20) [Paul says]; But if I am doing the very thing I do not want, I am no longer the one doing it, but sin which dwells in me. (The DEVIL Made Me Do IT!)
(21) I find then the principle that evil is present in me, the one who wants to do good, but I see a different law in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner. {of the influence of Sin}
I suppose it could be said that, for many of us, "OUR GET UP AND GO, HAS GOT UP AND GONE" The sadness comes when we finally realize that when we say IN A MINUTE to the Lord, that Holy opportunity to do HIS will may not return.
SUMMARY
The Apostle Paul experiences an Epiphany and reaches a startling discovery;
Wretched man that I am! Who will set me free from the body of this death? Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord!
So then, on the one hand I myself with my mind am serving the law of God, but on the other, with my flesh the law of sin. Let me ask the same question from earlier in this message; When it comes to our duty to our God, do we respond quickly and accomplish the task at hand or.. Do we silently say to ourselves, IN A MINUTE, LORD! ?
CLOSING PRAYER
O' Awesome Creator of all that there is, through Your Word open our eyes to a path that leads us away from fleshly sin, secret sin of lust, and all manner of sinful thought and behavior. When you, Lord, places someone in need in our path and we have a solution, don't wait, just act. Let God use you immediately to bring a kind word or a helping hand providing comfort in the name of Jesus the Christ, AMEN.
DOXOLOGY
Praise God, from Whom all blessings flow;
Praise Him, all creatures here below;
Praise Him above, Ye heaven-ly host;
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost
Amen
THE CALL
If you have never invited Jesus to be your Lord and savior, or, if you have in the past yet remain unsure of salvation and forgiveness of sin, Please pray with me now: Lord Jesus I need to fill a hole in my life that follows me where ever I go. I am a long-time Sinner and I CONFESS and REPENT of all my sins. I believe that You JESUS are the Lord, that you were hung on a cross and died. I believe that you were raised back to life by God, Your Father, ascended into heaven and presently sit at the right hand of The Almighty. Please come into me, clean me, take me and make me Yours and let me serve from this day forward and forever, Thank-You Jesus, AMEN
If you sincerely prayed with me, your salvation has been assured. {Rom 10:9 KJV} -That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
Waste no time in finding like minded folks, to fellowship with, who also know the lord Jesus. Be introduced to a church that preaches the BIBLE. Email me. Begin the journey that you will never tire of; the discovery of the Majesty, Beauty and loving Power of Jesus the Christ. Welcome to the family!
