7th Year 11-12 Edition 3 – Jud 15-17
l The Feast l
Aug 31-Sep 2_2012 Judges 15-17
Dear Saints,
This weekend we prayerfully Feast in Judges 15 - 17. We see a practical application of holding people up to the Word of God. When Micah meets a young man, a Levite, he becomes his patron. “10 And Micah said to him, “Stay with me, and be to me a father and a priest, and I will give you ten pieces of silver a year and a suit of clothes and your living.” And the Levite went in. 11 And the Levite was content to dwell with the man, and the young man became to him like one of his sons. 12 And Micah ordained the Levite, and the young man became his priest, and was in the house of Micah. 13 Then Micah said, “Now I know that the Lord will prosper me, because I have a Levite as priest.”” Judges 17:10-13, English Standard Version (ESV). We've said that we need to keep our eyes on God not on people. Micah is not a wise man, he is religious but his relationship with God is in bad shape. We know that because he makes Idols and worships strange gods. His delusions make him think that God is pleased with him and he thinks God sent the young Levite to him. The truth is the only way Micah could please God is to turn from his idolatry and stop worshiping false god. We all need to live our lives pleasing God. “9 And so, from the day we heard, we have not ceased to pray for you, asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, 10 so as to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God. 11 May you be strengthened with all power, according to his glorious might, for all endurance and patience with joy,” Colossians 1:9-11 ESV. God's Word tells us how we should live. In His Word we find the things that are pleasing and important to God. “28 And one of the scribes came up and heard them disputing with one another, and seeing that he answered them well, asked him, “Which commandment is the most important of all?” 29 Jesus answered, “The most important is, ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. 30 And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ 31 The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”” Mark 12:27-31 ESV. Try to love God and our fellow man while keeping the first thing first. That's salvation through the blood of Jesus. I am not an educated nor am I a theologian so if you want to see something changed 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.

Where will we turn and where are we going? Do you know that you are made in the image of God? You are an eternal being, where you spend eternity depends on your relationship with God? If you want to be sure, turn from sin and just say this simple prayer; “Dear God, I am a sinner and need forgiveness. I believe that Jesus Christ shed His precious blood and died for my sin. I am willing to turn from sin. I now invite Christ to come into my heart and life as my personal Saviour.“ If you said this prayer inviting Jesus into your heart. Now turning from sin, and seek fellowship just as we do. We worship and fellowship in a Church (group of believers) that strives to measures up to God’s Word. You need a Bible believing body of believers (church) to worship and pray with. 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 (turn from sin) and accept Jesus. If you have trouble finding a good bible believing church in your neighborhood send me an email and I’ll see if I can help; mlitew8@yahoo.com or if you want a pastor email Pastor Glen; evangelistglen@yahoo.com
God Bless you,
Brother Mike
