Why Feast? Numbers 24

7th Year 11-12 Edition 3Mar15-NUM 24 l The Feast l May 14_2012 Numbers 24 Dear Saints, Today we prayerfully continue our Feast in Numbers 24. Today’s Feast reminds us how easy and insightful it seems to read God’s Word. “2 And Balaam lifted up his eyes and saw Israel camping tribe by tribe. And the Spirit of God came upon him, 3 and he took up his discourse and said, “The oracle of Balaam the son of Beor, the oracle of the man whose eye is opened, 4 the oracle of him who hears the words of God, who sees the vision of the Almighty, falling down with his eyes uncovered:” Numbers 24:2-4, English Standard Version (ESV). It’s inspiring, insightful, full of wisdom and encouragement. So why do we have “The Feast”, a daily guide that takes us through every word in the Bible about every three years. The first thing I think of it’s nice to study together, in an organized manner and we have a shared prayer list. That however would just scratch the surface. “And he humbled you and let you hunger and fed you with manna, which you did not know, nor did your fathers know, that he might make you know that man does not live by bread alone, but man lives by every word that comes from the mouth of the LORD.” Deuteronomy 8:3 ESV. That’s as example of the importance of reading God’s Word from the Old Testament. As we continue our Feast we see the Old Testament agrees with the New; “3 And the tempter came and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command these stones to become loaves of bread.” 4 But he answered, “It is written, “‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’” 5 Then the devil took him to the holy city and set him on the pinnacle of the temple” Matthew 4:3-5 ESV. We learn how the law points to sin but it doesn’t pay for it. It’s paid for in blood by Jesus for our sin debt. “16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.“ John 3:16 ESV. The Feast serves to constantly build our Faith; “So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.” Romans 10:17 ESV. We never ask for money, Jesus is our reward, and this only begins to scratch the surface of why the Feast. “For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well.” Psalm 139:13-14 ESV. I send the Feast out as the Holy Spirit inspires me. 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@yahoo.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.
