Apr 16_2012 Mark 11
Dear Saints,
Thank God it is Monday, I pray you all had a blessed weekend. Today we prayerfully continue our Feast in Mark 11. God blessed us Saints, he overcame death and now we have the pleasure to serve the living God with you. Here in Mark Jesus says we need faith to serve him; “22 Jesus replied to them, “Have faith in God. 23 I assure you: If anyone says to this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him. 24 Therefore I tell you, all the things you pray and ask for—believe that you have received them, and you will have them.” Mark 11:22 - 24, Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB) Our loving God is faithful in his relationship with us; “9 Know that Yahweh your God is God, the faithful God who keeps His gracious covenant loyalty for a thousand generations with those who love Him and keep His commands.” Deuteronomy 7:9, HCSB. You see knowing who Jesus is and trying to live for him is not enough. It really takes a personal faith based relationship with Jesus. So what is faith? “1 Now faith is the reality of what is hoped for, the proof of what is not seen.” Hebrews 11:1, HCSB. Just knowing who Jesus is isn’t enough, we need a faith based relationship with Him. “Now without faith it is impossible to please God, for the one who draws near to Him must believe that He exists and rewards those who seek Him.” - Hebrews 11:6, HCSB. Even Abraham's works were done in faith; “22 You see that faith was active together with his works, and by works, faith was perfected. 23 So the Scripture was fulfilled that says, Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him for righteousness, and he was called God’s friend.” - James 2:22 - 23 HCSB. In establishing our relationship with Jesus we become God’s friend just as father Abraham did. “13 No one has greater love than this, that someone would lay down his life for his friends. 14 You are My friends if you do what I command you. 15 I do not call you slaves anymore, because a slave doesn’t know what his master is doing. I have called you friends, because I have made known to you everything I have heard from My Father” - John 15:13-15 HCSB. Lets continue to faithfully Saintly Serve our Lord! Keeping the first thing first which is salvation a gift from the Father paid for in the blood of Jesus, in which we are sealed by the Holy Spirit. “16 know that no one is justified by the works of the law but by faith in Jesus Christ. And we have believed in Christ Jesus so that we might be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law, because by the works of the law no human being will be justified.” Galatians 2:16 HCSB. I’m not educated nor am I a Theologian so if I’m mistaken in the Feast or you want something added or changed on the prayer list http://www.admenu.com/am/praise.html. please write mlitew8@gmail.com. To correspond with a pastor email Pastor Glen; evangelistglen@yahoo.com If the Lord is willing I’ll send and post the Feast tomorrow.
Don’t get caught up in “religion”, it is about a relationship. Our salvation depends completely on God! We are the Saints that Jesus sacrificed his life to pay in full for our sin, when we repent and accept Jesus. He will come to get every Saint; “…But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only.” Matthew 24:36. We are building our relationship with Jesus right now, do not wait while you try to change anything.
The Feast
God Bless you,
Brother Mike
