Jesus replied, “It’s written, People won’t live only by
bread, but by every word spoken by God.”“

New
King James Version (NKJV).
Dear
Saints,
Thank
you for joining us, as we prayerfully continue the Feast in Mark
Chapter
11;
“Christ's
triumphant entry into Jerusalem. (1-11)
The barren fig-tree cursed, The temple cleansed. (12-18)
Prayer in faith. (19-26)
The priests and elders questioned concerning John the Baptist.
(27-33)”
- Matthew
Henry Concise.
Today
we prayerfully continue our Feast in Mark Chapter
11,
God has blessed us Saints, he overcame death and now we have the
pleasure to serve the living God. Here in Mark Jesus says we need
faith to serve him; “22
So Jesus answered and said to them, "Have faith in God. 23
For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Be
removed and be cast into the sea,' and does not doubt in his
heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he
will have whatever he says. 24 Therefore I say to you, whatever
things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and
you will have them.”
Mark
11:22-24,
NKJV. Our loving God is faithful in his relationship with us; “9
Therefore know that the Lord your God, He is God, the faithful God
who keeps covenant and mercy for a thousand generations with those
who love Him and keep His commandments;”
Deuteronomy
7:9,
NKJV. 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 substance of things hoped for, the evidence of
things not seen.”
Hebrews
11:1,
NKJV. Just knowing who Jesus is isn’t enough, we need a faith
based relationship with Him. “6
But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes
to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those
who diligently seek Him.”
– Hebrews
11:6,
NKJV. Even Abraham’s works were done in faith; “22
Do you see that faith was working together with his works, and by
works faith was made perfect? 23 And the Scripture was fulfilled
which says, "Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to
him for righteousness." And he was called the friend of God.”
– James
2:22–23
NKJV. In establishing our relationship with Jesus we become God’s
friend just as father Abraham did. “22
Do you see that faith was working together with his works, and by
works faith was made perfect? 23 And the Scripture was fulfilled
which says, "Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to
him for righteousness." And he was called the friend of God.”
– John
15:13-15
NKJV. 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
knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but by
faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, that
we might be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of
the law; for by the works of the law no flesh shall be justified.”
Galatians
2:16
NKJV. “Justified”; Just as if I never sinned. 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,
NKJV. We are building our relationship with Jesus right now, do
not wait while you try to change anything.
God
Bless You,
Brother
