Eyes On Jesus Not Men?

Today’s Feast Oct. 10, 2015 – Judges 12 Eyes On Jesus Not Men? clic aquí en español Please join with us sharing God’s Word daily. We will spend about fifteen minutes a day praying and reading every word in God’s Word in approximately three years. “20 Listen to advice and accept instruction, that you may gain wisdom in the future. 21 Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand." Proverbs 19:20-21, English Standard Version (ESV). Return to Admenu – Admenu’s Alternate Site Dear Saints, Thank you for joining us, as we prayerfully continue the Feast in Judges Chapter 12; “Ephraimites quarrel with Jephthah. (1-7) Ibzan, Elon, and Abdon judge Israel. (8-15)” - Matthew Henry Concise. We see a few of the judges who lead Israel come and die in today’s Feast. First we see Jephthah supported by God even when men wouldn’t help him. “2 And Jephthah said to them, “I and my people had a great dispute with the Ammonites, and when I called you, you did not save me from their hand. 3 And when I saw that you would not save me, I took my life in my hand and crossed over against the Ammonites, and the Lord gave them into my hand. Why then have you come up to me this day to fight against me?”” Judges 12:2-3, ESV. Now if we accept the gift of salvation and follow our Lord can the world stand against us? I think not! Jesus said that he will never give us a burden that we can’t carry! He assures us his commands are not burdensome. “5 Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God, and everyone who loves the Father loves whoever has been born of him. 2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and obey his commandments. 3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome. 4 For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith. 5 Who is it that overcomes the world except the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:1-5, ESV. When anyone tries to load you down with more than God asks don’t accept it. Always check God’s Word and prayerfully ask God for direction. Look to the bible for the Word of God not Pastors, men or women. “4 They tie up heavy burdens, hard to bear,[a] and lay them on people's shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to move them with their finger. 5 They do all their deeds to be seen by others. For they make their phylacteries broad and their fringes long,“ Matthew 23:4-5, ESV. Keep your eyes on Jesus not men including kings and politicians. God gave you everlasting life and he will guide you in your relationship with Him. “29 Jesus answered them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent.”” John 6:29, ESV. Let’s keep the first thing first. That would be salvation through the blood of Jesus. 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; “36 “But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son,[a] but the Father only.” Matthew 24:36, ESV. We are building our relationship with Jesus right now, do not wait while you try to change anything. Click this link for more information; admenu.com/calling.htm .
