Today’s Feast
Jan. 19,
2016 – Acts 11
Get Past Religion
And Tradition!
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.
“[ The Golden Rule ] “So whatever you
wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and
the Prophets.” Matthew 7:12, English Standard Version (ESV)
Dear Saints,
Thank you for joining us, as we prayerfully continue our Feast in
Acts Chapter 11; “Peter's defence. (1-18) The
success of the gospel at Antioch. (19-24) The
disciples named Christians, Relief sent to Judea. (25-30)”
- Matthew Henry
Concise.
Peter had to defend himself from those that would put tradition
or works in front of God’s Grace. The reason for the success of the gospel at
Antioch was it was Gods will, His grace. There in Antioch is where the
disciples were first called Christians. Acting as true believers they sent
relief to Judea. “27 Now in these days prophets came down from Jerusalem to
Antioch. 28 And one of them named Agabus stood up and foretold by the Spirit
that there would be a great famine over all the world (this took place in the
days of Claudius). 29 So the disciples determined, every one according to his
ability, to send relief to the brothers living in Judea. 30 And they did so,
sending it to the elders by the hand of Barnabas and Saul.”
Acts
11:27-30, ESV. In
the beginning of this chapter, the first Christians wanted to live by
religious tradition rather than share God’s grace. Once the believers got past their religion
and tradition, God’s grace spread like fire. Jesus was accepted as the
Messiah by Jew’s and gentiles alike. “I am the good shepherd. I
know my own and my own know me, just as the Father knows me and I know the
Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep.” John
10:14-15, ESV. We the sinners in this world is who Jesus laid down his
life for. Road blocks are for catching law breakers! Jesus is for saving all
sinners from their transgressions! Keep the first thing first, that is salvation through our
Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus laid
down his life for all people, those who will accept God’s grace are sealed
with the Holy Spirit. Jesus cleans his fish after he catches them!.
If the Lord is willing I’ll send and post
the Feast again tomorrow
You’ll find the praise and prayer list at; admenu.com/prayer.html. Prayer request or Praise reports can be
sent to brother Mike at; mike@admenu.com
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, 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

Unhappy With This World?

Today’s Feast
Jan. 18,
2016 – Acts 10
Unhappy With
This World?
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.
“No temptation has overtaken you that is not common
to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your
ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that
you may be able to endure it.” 1 Corinthians 10:13, English Standard Version (ESV)
Dear Saints,
Thank you for joining us, as we prayerfully continue our Feast in
Acts Chapter 10; “Cornelius directed to send for Peter. (1-8) Peter's
vision. (9-18) He goes to Cornelius. (19-33) His
discourse to Cornelius. (34-43) The
gifts of the Holy Spirit poured out. (44-48)”
- Matthew Henry
Concise.
Up
to this point in God’s Word the Jews were the only ones baptized in the name
of Christ, Cornelius directed to send for Peter. God sends Peter a vision and
in Peter’s vision, God told him not to call unclean what God makes clean. He
goes to Cornelius, a centurion, an upright and God-fearing man. Cornelius
tells Peter how an angel directed him to Peter. Then the gifts of the Holy
Spirit poured out; “44 While Peter was still saying these things, the Holy Spirit
fell on all who heard the word. 45 And the believers from among the
circumcised who had come with Peter were amazed, because the gift of the Holy
Spirit was poured out even on the Gentiles. 46 For they were hearing them
speaking in tongues and extolling God. Then Peter declared, 47 “Can anyone
withhold water for baptizing these people, who have received the Holy Spirit
just as we have?” 48 And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of
Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to remain for some days.”
Acts
10:44-48, ESV. Saints
these gifts are still for believers today, the key is belief in Jesus. There
a no less reasons for you and I NOT to
harvest faithfully for the kingdom of God. “7 So
Jesus again said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the
door of the sheep... 9 I am the door. If anyone enters
by me, he will be saved and will go in and out and find pasture. 10 The
thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may
have life and have it abundantly.” John
10:7, 9-10, ESV. Yes we are the sheep and Jesus is the only way in to the
kingdom. We are saved by Jesus as God’s Word says. We too are sealed with the
Holy Spirit. We are to keep the first thing first,
that is salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ. Some of us are not happy with the state of
this world; Jesus told us it would be worse before he returns. I for one
think we need to win all the souls we can before Jesus returns for us.
