We Don’t Have To Be Happy!

The Best of the Feast Jun. 30, 2016 – Ezra - 6 We Don’t Have To Be Happy!   clic aquí en español   Please join with us sharing God’s Word daily. We spend about fifteen minutes a day praying and reading every word in God’s Word in approximately three years. Return to Admenu – Admenu’s Alternate Site   Dear Saints,   Today we prayerfully Feast in Ezra 6 .  God touched the heart of King Darius. He told the ones who hindered rebuilding that the people of God were working under his authority.  Hence the work was finished and the people were joyful and they celebrated the Passover.   “20 For the priests and the Levites had purified themselves together; all of them were clean. So they slaughtered the Passover lamb for all the returned exiles, for their fellow priests, and for themselves. 21 It was eaten by the people of Israel who had returned from exile, and also by every one who had joined them and separated himself from the uncleanness of the peoples of the land to worship the Lord, the God of Israel.”  Ezra 6:20-21, English Standard Version (ESV).  People and governments may do things that make us unhappy.  Don’t fret over those things instead pray about and for them. They may hinder our happiness but they can’t hinder our joy! Our happiness depends on happenstance while our Joy is in Jesus. “17 The Lord your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save; he will rejoice over you with gladness; he will quiet you by his love; he will exult over you with loud singing.” Zephaniah 3:17, ESV.  Our service to Jesus is with joy. We gladly and joyfully serve Jesus obeying God’s holy instructions. If the Lord is willing I will send and post the Feast again tomorrow.   Is Jesus is calling out to you?  Do you hear that small voice calling; sinner com home?  Do you want to choose good over evil?

By Whose Authority?

The Best of the Feast Jun. 29, 2016 – Ezra - 5 By Whose Authority? clic aquí en español   Please join with us sharing God’s Word daily. We spend about fifteen minutes a day praying and reading every word in God’s Word in approximately three years. Return to Admenu – Admenu’s Alternate Site   Dear Saints,   Today we prayerfully Feast in Ezra 5 .  Here we see that God has mercy on his people.  God sent a prophet to let his people know it was time to rebuild the temple.   Satan is quick to influence someone to try and stop the people of the Lord from any good work.  “ 3 At the same time Tattenai the governor of the province Beyond the River and Shethar-bozenai and their associates came to them and spoke to them thus: “Who gave you a decree to build this house and to finish this structure?” 4 They also asked them this: “What are the names of the men who are building this building?””  Ezra 5:3-4, English Standard Version (ESV).  The enemy is quick to confront the saints and ask them by whose authority they are proceeding with good works.  It is somewhat intimidating when somebody says; “What is your name?” “19 and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his great might 20 that he worked in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places, 21 far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come. 22 And he put all things under his feet and gave him as head over all things to the church,” Ephesians 1:19-22, ESV.  This s the answer saints; Jesus is the head of the church!  Those that have accepted Jesus are the body of the Church.  Therefore when you are doing a good work and someone says; “By whose authority are you doing this?”  You can simply lovingly reply; “Jesus”! If the Lord is willing I will send and post the Feast again tomorrow.   Is Jesus is calling out to you?  Do you hear that small voice calling; sinner com home?  Do you want to choose good over evil? If the answer is yes please click the following link;  admenu.com/calling.html.  Today’s Verse; “8 The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me;     your steadfast love, O Lord, endures forever.     Do not forsake the work of your hands.” Psalm 138:8, ESV.  God Bless You, Brother Mike   Links That Inspire me |Click Here| http: //www.admenu.com https://admenu.wordpress.com

To Stand Against The Enemy!

The Best of the Feast Jun. 28, 2016 – Ezra - 4 To Stand Against The Enemy! clic aquí en español   Please join with us sharing God’s Word daily. We spend about fifteen minutes a day praying and reading every word in God’s Word in approximately three years. Return to Admenu – Admenu’s Alternate Site   Dear Saints,   Today we prayerfully Feast in Ezra 4 .  This is where we see Satan waging war against God’s people.  Whenever the Lord’s people aspire to good works the enemy attempts to stop them.  “23 Then, when the copy of King Artaxerxes' letter was read before Rehum and Shimshai the scribe and their associates, they went in haste to the Jews at Jerusalem and by force and power made them cease. 24 Then the work on the house of God that is in Jerusalem stopped, and it ceased until the second year of the reign of Darius king of Persia.”  Ezra 4:23-24, English Standard Version (ESV).  Saint you can be assured that Jesus is always going to be victorious over Satan.  We need to read God’s Word and pray to be ready when the enemy attacks.  The Holy Spirit will bring God’s Word to our remembrance when we need it.  “15 Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.”  2 Timothy 2:15, ESV.  This is one of the reasons we try to read every word in God’s Word.  We need to nourish ourselves in the Word of God to stand in the battle. “11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil.” Ephesians 6:11, ESV.  Take your stand with Jesus!  Please share the Feast with others so that they can be prepared to stand against the enemy.

This Is Amazing Truth!

The Best of the Feast Jun. 27, 2016 – Ezra - 3 This Is Amazing Truth!   clic aquí en español   Please join with us sharing God’s Word daily. We spend about fifteen minutes a day praying and reading every word in God’s Word in approximately three years. Return to Admenu – Admenu’s Alternate Site   Dear Saints,   Today we prayerfully Feast in Ezra 3 .  This book tells us that the people gathered as one man to Jerusalem.  As one man they were successful in their efforts; “…And all the people shouted with a great shout when they praised the Lord, because the foundation of the house of the Lord was laid. 12 But many of the priests and Levites and heads of fathers’ houses, old men who had seen the first house, wept with a loud voice when they saw the foundation of this house being laid, though many shouted aloud for joy, 13 so that the people could not distinguish the sound of the joyful shout from the sound of the people’s weeping, for the people shouted with a great shout, and the sound was heard far away..”  Ezra 3:11-13, English Standard Version (ESV).  I believe that if we all yield to the Holy Spirit, join together as one body with Jesus as the head; we will do great things and shout for Joy. “4 For whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, that through endurance and through the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope. 5 May the God of endurance and encouragement grant you to live in such harmony with one another, in accord with Christ Jesus, 6 that together you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.”  Romans 15:4-6 ESV.  This is the amazing truth; that thru the grace of God we can become one in Jesus.  We must understand that we must love one another in Jesus. Love the brothers, sisters and sinners and hate the sin!  This is because there is no room for sin in the Church.  Live to build up the body of our Christ, let your light shine! If the Lord is willing I will send and post the Feast again tomorrow.   Is Jesus is calling out to you?  Do you hear that small voice calling; sinner com home?  Do you want to choose good over evil?

We All Have One!

We spend about fifteen minutes a day praying and reading every word in God’s Word in approximately three years. Return to Admenu – Admenu’s Alternate Site   Dear Saints,   Today we prayerfully Feast in Ezra 1 & 2 .  As we continue our course to read thru every word in God’s Word in about 3 years.  We start in the book of Ezra with two chapters.  Here is an overview of the book of Ezra; “The history of this book is the accomplishment of Jeremiah’s prophecy concerning the return of the Jews out of Babylon. From its contents we especially learn, that every good work will meet with opposition from enemies, and be hurt by the misconduct of friends; but that God will make his cause to prevail, notwithstanding all obstacles and adversaries. The restoration of the Jews was an event of the highest consequence, tending to preserve religion in the world, and preparing the way for the appearance of the Great Deliverer, the Lord Jesus Christ.”  Matthew Henry’s Concise Commentary (MHCC).  Reading this overview made me think about our walk with Jesus. How we strive to partake of this feast for a few minutes every day; “…that every good work will meet with opposition from enemies, and be hurt by the misconduct of friends; but that God will make his cause to prevail…”, MHCC.  How great is our relationship with Jesus that in him we overcome all obstacles. “33 I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.”  John 16:33, ESV.  Today I want to address one more thing.  That is Mothers; we all have one!  It’s about those of us whose mothers were faithful to keep us in prayer.  It’s about our wives who work to make a home and raise Godly children.  For these faithful mothers we say; Thank You Jesus! “10 An excellent wife who can find? She is far more precious than jewels… 27 She looks well to the ways of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness. 8 Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: ” Proverbs 31:10, 27-28, ESV.  May God bless our mothers every day.   If the Lord is willing I will send and post the Feast again tomorrow.   Is Jesus is calling out to you?  Do you hear that small voice calling; sinner com home?  Do you want to choose good over evil?

Guard against those who do not walk in the love of God; “22 If anyone has no love for the Lord, let him be accursed. Our Lord, come! 23 The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you. 24 My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.” 1 Corinthians 16:22-24, English Standard Version (ESV).  Early on in this chapter he encourages the Saints to be strong in the Lord.  Paul is asking the Corinthians to have compassion for those in need.  Those who are wealthy in the Lord need to be charitable in their actions.  “32 Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.” Ephesians 4:32, ESV.  We will be known for our actions.  If we are charitable, forgiving and loving with our brothers and sisters we are walking with Jesus.  Help each other show the same grace Jesus gave us in our dealings with others.  We should let the light of God shine in every area of our lives.   If the Lord is willing I will send and post the Feast again tomorrow.   Is Jesus is calling out to you?  Do you hear that small voice calling; sinner com home?  Do you want to choose good over evil?

If he listens to you, you have gained your brother.” Matthew 18:15, ESV.  If you observe another saint perverting the Word of God; in word or deed show them their error in God’s Word.  After all God doesn’t want any to fail.  “1 Therefore we must pay much closer attention to what we have heard, lest we drift away from it. 2 For since the message declared by angels proved to be reliable, and every transgression or disobedience received a just retribution, 3 how shall we escape if we neglect such a great salvation?

Presenting Jesus the Christ!

The Best of the Feast Jun. 22, 2016 – 1 Corinthians -14 Presenting Jesus the Christ! clic aquí en español   Please join with us sharing God’s Word daily. We spend about fifteen minutes a day praying and reading every word in God’s Word in approximately three years. Return to Admenu – Admenu’s Alternate Site   Dear Saints,   Today we prayerfully Feast in 1 Corinthians 14 .  This feast teaches us that all things should be done decently and in order. If any one takes offense to these words they are offended by God, not men.   “37 If anyone thinks that he is a prophet, or spiritual, he should acknowledge that the things I am writing to you are a command of the Lord. 38 If anyone does not recognize this, he is not recognized.39 So, my brothers, earnestly desire to prophesy, and do not forbid speaking in tongues. 40 But all things should be done decently and in order.” 1 Corinthians 14:37-40, English Standard Version (ESV).  God’s Word frees us from condemnation.  We who are freed from sin have an obligation to share God’s Word.  “[Life in the Spirit] 1 There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. 2 For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death.” Romans 8:1-2, ESV.  Once we are free from sin and sealed by the Holy Spirit, we love the Word of God.  We share God’s Word with grace and love and if any person is offended by what we say they are offended by God.  If we try to change the meaning of what God’s Word, to the gospel light; we are lying.  We would be sending people on the path to Hell!  We also will be repaid with the wages of sin, death and eternal punishment.  If we carry God’s message forward with love and no malice, we will be repaid with the wages of a Saint, life everlasting in the kingdom of God. So let’s present Jesus in love, decently and in order with the Word of God.  If the Lord is willing I will send and post the Feast again tomorrow.   Is Jesus is calling out to you?  Do you hear that small voice calling; sinner com home?  Do you want to choose good over evil?
