Where Does The Truth Come From?

Today’s Feast Mar. 2, 2016 – 2 Kings 4 Where Does The Truth Come From? 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. “10 But he knows the way that I take; when he has tried me, I shall come out as gold. 11 My foot has held fast to his steps; I have kept his way and have not turned aside.”  Job 23:10-11, English Standard Version (ESV) Return to Admenu – Admenu’s Alternate Site Dear Saints, Today we prayerfully read our Feast in 2 Kings, Chapter 43; “Elisha multiplies the widow's oil. (1-7) The Shunammite obtains a son. (8-17) The Shunammite's son restored to life. (18-37) The miracle of healing the pottage, and of feeding the sons of the prophets. (38-44)” - Matthew Henry Concise. Today we are prayerfully reading, 2 Kings 4.  In this chapter we see faith in God working in several instances. None of them are simple or small just acts of faith working for the faithful.  I really want this kind of faith!  Where does it come from?  Let’s look at the last example in this chapter; “42 A man came from Baal-shalishah, bringing the man of God bread of the firstfruits, twenty loaves of barley and fresh ears of grain in his sack. And Elisha said, “Give to the men that they may eat.” 43 But his servant said, “How can I set this before a hundred men?” So he repeated, “Give them to the men, that they may eat, for thus says the Lord, ‘They shall eat and have some left.’” 44 So he set it before them. And they ate and had some left, according to the word of the Lord.” 2 Kings 4:42-44, ESV.   What kind of faith is at work when a man with twenty loaves of barley and fresh ears of grain, has to feed a hundred men with leftovers?  It is the faith of the servant with the bread and Elisha the prophet of God. Does this mean if they wished really hard together that God would fulfill the word of the prophet?   No, Elisha believes God because he saw God showing miracles through Elijah and himself in the past.  Elisha simply believed God because he had seen God coming through in every circumstance.  He has never heard of God failing to be true to His Word. Does the man with the bread have some kind of super faith that the 20 loaves of barley should feed 100 men with leftovers?  No he simply heard that God’s words to Elisha’s are true.  All right so what do I have to do to have this kind of faith in God?  The truth comes in hearing and knowing whom you are hearing from.  “16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed what he has heard from us?” 17 So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.” Romans 10:15-17, ESV.  Just hearing is only the first step, it is necessary that we hear from the Word of God.  In doing so we believe that the bible we are reading is the true Word of God.  This is what the Feast is about, hearing every word of God.  Believing that God’s words are true, sharing the gospel and keeping the first thing first. That is salvation through the blood of our Lord Jesus.  It starts with Jesus giving you, the Saints his Word and you reading and believing God’s word.  That is where true faith is going to come from.  When you receive this faith you will let your light shine as a testament to God’s love.  If the lord is willing I will post and send the Feast again tomorrow.    You’ll find the praise and prayer list at; http://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 more information; admenu.com/calling.htm .  God Bless You, Brother Mike Links That Inspire me |Click Here| http: //www.admenu.com https://admenu.wordpress.com ….................the small print................................

Would You Trade Your Gavel?

Today’s Feast Mar. 1, 2016 – 2 Kings 3 Would You Trade Your Gavel? 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. “25 Whom have I in heaven but you? And there is nothing on earth that I desire besides you. 26 My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.”  Psalm 73:25-26, English Standard Version (ESV) Return to Admenu – Admenu’s Alternate Site Dear Saints, Today we prayerfully read our Feast in 2 Kings, Chapter 3; “Jehoram, king of Israel. (1-5) War with Moab, The intercession of Elisha. (6-19) Water supplied, Moab overcome.(20-27)” - Matthew Henry Concise. Today we are prayerfully reading, 2 Kings 3.  People in Satan’s service do despicable things; these are an abomination to the Christian; like the king of Moab’s sacrificing his son. Have nothing to do with evil acts; we are not the Judges allow God’s Word to pronounce the judgment; “26 When the king of Moab saw that the battle was going against him, he took with him 700 swordsmen to break through, opposite the king of Edom, but they could not. 27 Then he took his oldest son who was to reign in his place and offered him for a burnt offering on the wall. And there came great wrath against Israel. And they withdrew from him and returned to their own land.” 2 Kings 3:26-27, ESV.   It would be our nature to hate and condemn the king of Moab, because his sin made him an abomination.  God will judge the sinner that doesn’t repent.  We are here as a light to the world.  Our job is to let them know God’s plans are the best plans.  Remember Jesus died for us while we were still sinners.  “[The Golden Rule] “12 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, ESV.  God’s purpose for the believer is to carry the good news to a dying world; in doing so we keep the first thing first. That is salvation through the blood of our Lord Jesus.  Show the sinner that they can enjoy a better life with Jesus.  We are to carry the good news; God will judge and convict all persons that are living in sin, without repenting.  Let your light shine and trade your gavel for the cross Saints!  If the lord is willing I will post and send the Feast again tomorrow.    You’ll find the praise and prayer list at; http://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.

Purposeful Direction!

Today’s Feast Feb. 29, 2016 – 2 Kings 2 Purposeful Direction! 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. “120 In my distress I called to the Lord, and he answered me.”  Psalm 120:1, English Standard Version (ESV) Return to Admenu – Admenu’s Alternate Site Dear Saints, Today we prayerfully continue our Feast in 2 Kings Chapter 2; “Elijah divides Jordan. (1-8) Elijah is taken up into heaven. (9-12) Elisha is manifested to be Elijah's successor. (13-18) Elisha heals the waters of Jericho, Those that mocked Elisha destroyed. (19-25)” - Matthew Henry Concise. Today we continue in 2nd Kings by prayerfully reading, 2 Kings 2.  Another miracle from the prophet Elijah, he divides the Jordan River.  Elisha stays with Elijah until he is taken up into heaven. Elisha sees Elijah depart in God’s chariot so he is manifested to be Elijah’s successor.   Elisha heals the waters of Jericho, by placing salt in it as directed by God. Those that mocked Elisha were destroyed; “23 He went up from there to Bethel, and while he was going up on the way, some small boys came out of the city and jeered at him, saying, “Go up, you baldhead! Go up, you baldhead! ”23 He went up from there to Bethel, and while he was going up on the way, some small boys came out of the city and jeered at him, saying, “Go up, you baldhead! Go up, you baldhead!” 24 And he turned around, and when he saw them, he cursed them in the name of the Lord. And two she-bears came out of the woods and tore forty-two of the boys. 25 From there he went on to Mount Carmel, and from there he returned to Samaria.” 2 Kings 2:23-25, ESV.   God called Elisha to follow Elijah.  In spite of being urged to turn back Elisha kept on track holding fast to the path God called him to walk.  He was rewarded for his persistence.  Listen Christians God called us to follow his son, Jesus. Stay on track in the race and God has more rewards for us.  God called us for a purpose, beyond going to church twice a week.  “13 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, ESV.  God has a purpose for us; it is up to us to stay on track. Live a Christ centered life and depend on Jesus for the strength and the Holy Spirit for direction to keep the first thing first. That is salvation through the blood of our Lord Jesus.  God gave us freedom to serve and love him.  If we are true to him our lives will be filled with purposeful direction.  If the lord is willing I will post and send the Feast again tomorrow.  You’ll find the praise and prayer list at; http://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.

Who Do We Consult?

Today’s Feast Feb. 28, 2016 – 2 Kings 1 Who Do We Consult? 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. “7 for God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.”  2 Timothy 1:7, English Standard Version (ESV) Return to Admenu – Admenu’s Alternate Site Dear Saints, Thank you for joining us, as we prayerfully continue our Feast in 2 Kings Chapter 1; “The revolt of Moab-Sickness of Ahaziah, king of Israel. (1-8) Fire called from heaven by Elijah-Death of Ahaziah.(9-18)” - Matthew Henry Concise. Today we begin our feast in 2nd Kings by prayerfully reading, 2 Kings 1.  Ahaziah, king of Israel revolts against God causing the revolt of Moab and sickness. Because Ahaziah called on a false God fire is called from heaven by Elijah on the high-minded officers and troops.  Ahaziah dies because he called an a false god named Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron and not our God.  “17 So he died according to the word of the Lord that Elijah had spoken. Jehoram became king in his place in the second year of Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, because Ahaziah had no son. 18 Now the rest of the acts of Ahaziah that he did, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?” 2 Kings 1:17-18, ESV.   We are to love God with all our hearts. Christians never read the stars, call on Necromancers or consult false gods.   That is like saying God does not exist.   “14 Do all things without grumbling or disputing, 15 that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and twisted generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world, 16 holding fast to the word of life, so that in the day of Christ I may be proud that I did not run in vain or labor in vain.” Philippians 2:14-16, ESV.  Our God loves us, Jesus paid for our sin.  The Holy Spirit dwells with us we have no need for horoscopes, familiar spirits, mediums.  If we need anything we take it to God in prayer, in the name of our savior Jesus.  We keep the first thing first. That is salvation through the blood of our Lord Jesus.  Maintain our walk and talk (relationship) with our God, Jesus is our deliverer. If the lord is willing I will post and send the Feast again tomorrow.  You’ll find the praise and prayer list at; http://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.

What Is God’s Message?

Today’s Feast Feb. 27, 2016 – 1 Kings 22 What Is God’s Message? 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. “18 Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth.”  1 John 3:18, English Standard Version (ESV) Return to Admenu – Admenu’s Alternate Site Dear Saints, Thank you for joining us, as we prayerfully continue our Feast in 1 Kings Chapter 22; “Jehoshaphat makes a league with Ahab. (1-14) Micaiah predicts the death of Ahab. (15-28) Death of Ahab. (29-40) Jehoshaphat's good reign over Judah. (41-50) Ahaziah's evil reign over Israel. (51-53)” - Matthew Henry Concise. Today we finish1st Kings by prayerfully reading, 1 Kings 22.  Ahab’s prophets, use of the name of Jehovah to please Jehoshaphat, he falls in company with Ahab. Micaiah in order to serve God and give Ahab the truth predicts his death.  Ahab dies just as predicted by Micaiah. Jehoshaphat has a good reign over Judah. Ahaziah’s reign over Israel is evil. “51 Ahaziah the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria in the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and he reigned two years over Israel. 52 He did what was evil in the sight of the Lord and walked in the way of his father and in the way of his mother and in the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin. 53 He served Baal and worshiped him and provoked the Lord, the God of Israel, to anger in every way that his father had done.” 1 Kings 22:51-53, ESV.   The truths in the scripture ring true.  All men have the potential to do evil.  Saints, need to tell people the truth if there is any chance of them being favored by God.    “[Keep in Step with the Spirit] 6 But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.” Galatians 5:16, ESV.  Walk with God no matter where you walk.  What Jesus knows is more important than what men think.  Let’s continue to keep the first thing first. That is salvation through the blood of our Lord Jesus.  If God’s will directs your life, presenting salvation, will be more important than looking good to men.  If we don’t carry God’s message who will?  Our word could save a soul from hell.  Our desire to please men could allow a soul to go to hell. If the lord is willing I will post and send the Feast again tomorrow.  You’ll find the praise and prayer list at; http://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.

How Can We Pay For Sin?

Today’s Feast Feb. 26, 2016 – 1 Kings 21 How Can We Pay For Sin? 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. “9 In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him.”  1 John 4:9, English Standard Version (ESV) Return to Admenu – Admenu’s Alternate Site Dear Saints, Thank you for joining us, as we prayerfully continue our Feast in 1 Kings Chapter 21; “Ahab covets Naboth's vineyard. (1-4) Naboth murdered by Jezebel. (5-16) Elijah denounces judgments against Ahab. (17-29)” - Matthew Henry Concise. Today we prayerfully read, 1 Kings 21. Ahab is guilty of sin the moment he covets another man’s property.  Jezebel helps Ahab obtain land by killing the owner.  Because a man is the head of the house and is one in with his wife in God’s eyes, God condemns Ahab and his family to death.  Elijah delivered the judgment to Ahab, and Ahab repents; “27 And when Ahab heard those words, he tore his clothes and put sackcloth on his flesh and fasted and lay in sackcloth and went about dejectedly. 28 And the word of the Lord came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying, 29 “Have you seen how Ahab has humbled himself before me? Because he has humbled himself before me, I will not bring the disaster in his days; but in his son’s days I will bring the disaster upon his house.”” 1 Kings 21:27-29, ESV.   Look at Ahab’s position; he is guilty of murder and larceny.  He is responsible for the crime committed by Jezebel.  Then he truly repents and turns to God for mercy.  God is true to forgive him!      “[The Truth Will Set You Free] So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed him, “If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”” John 8:31-32, ESV.  When you sin or your dependents sin you are obligated to take appropriate action, repent and ask God for forgiveness. Remember sin is cancer to our lives with Jesus. That is why we keep the first thing first. That is salvation through the blood of our Lord Jesus. When you repent and ask Jesus to forgive you, if you are truly repentant His is true to forgive you. You can’t pay for one sin; Jesus paid the price for all sin. If the lord is willing I will post and send the Feast again tomorrow.  You’ll find the praise and prayer list at; http://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.
