Faith comes from where? – Romans 10

Faith comes from where?  – Romans 10   March 17, 2013 - Romans 10 Return to Admenu Home Dear  Saints, Today we prayerfully continue our Feast in Romans 10.  The Jews tried to build on the wrong foundation. They seek to be saved by the law and works.  The foundation we are trying to build on is righteousness and faith in Jesus.  Jesus doesn’t differentiate between Jews and Gentiles in justification and salvation.  The Jews might gain understanding from Old Testament prophecies; (18-21)  “20 Then Isaiah is so bold as to say, “I have been found by those who did not seek me;     I have shown myself to those who did not ask for me.” 21 But of Israel he says, “All day long I have held out my hands to a disobedient and contrary people.”” Romans 10:20-21, English Standard Version (ESV).  Our faith is in Jesus not in the law or tradition.  If we expect to live by faith we must continue to feast in God’s Word; “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 10:16-17, ESV.  We shall endeavor to keep the first thing first; salvation and righteousness thru Jesus.  There is no other way by which we might be saved.  No other name than Jesus; by which we might be saved.   Bless you for Feasting in God’s word; where faith comes by hearing the Word!  Praise God! Our righteousness is in Jesus!  Amen? The following quote is from; “THE HOLY SPIRIT IS CALLING        03/1713 # 523” Shared by R.L. Waters ”… In all churches there are arguments. We as servants of Christ Jesus must not take part. We are to teach the church about the love that Jesus has for them so they may get to know Him as their Lord and saviour. As a Christian you are to pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace so the church can and will know Jesus is within you. So I say walk in love for your fellow man…” The Feast Sun, March 17, 2014, Romans 10, - “The apostle's earnest desire for the salvation of the Jews. (1-4) The difference between the righteousness of the law, and the righteousness of faith. (5-11) The Gentiles stand on a level with the Jews, in justification and salvation. (12-17) The Jews might know this from Old Testament prophecies.

Saved by tradition? – Romans 9

Saved by tradition?  – Romans 9   March 16, 2013 - Romans 9 Return to Admenu Home Dear  Saints, Today we prayerfully continue our Feast in Romans 9.  When I went into the military at the age of eighteen, the process by which we were inducted was like an assembly line.  There we had lines for clothing, haircuts, physicals, shots, etc… We were organized by groups and as we went through the induction process we stayed in our place just as we were organized.  The one person making my dog tags said to me; “Religion?”  To which I replied; “What are the choices?”  He looked up at me and said; “Are you Catholic?”  When I answered no he said; “Protestant” finished my dog tags and put them in my hands.  The reason I remember this I was a Christian by tradition.  Had the man said are you a Christian I would have said yes!  I knew that everyone in my family were Christians therefore so was I.  Not because of faith in Jesus however, it was because of family tradition.  “32 Why? Because they did not pursue it by faith, but as if it were based on works. They have stumbled over the stumbling stone, 33 as it is written,   “Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense;     and whoever believes in him will not be put to shame.”” Romans 9:32-33, English Standard Version (ESV).  It was ok because I thought Christianity, Jesus and heaven were more like a story told to keep people in line.  Along those lines I thought that it was a good tradition and therefore I was a Christian by birthright.  I didn’t have a relationship with Jesus that would lead to life, faith and salvation.  I was lost and it didn’t bother me because I thought I was saved by tradition, a good man. “Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience,” Colossians 3:12 ESV.  As a traditional Christian not only wasn’t I saved but I had none of the qualities mentioned in this verse.  Praise God! I didn’t die in combat; I lived until I was convinced what a miserable condition I was in. When I realized that I needed Jesus, he was there holding out his arms for me.  The truth is some treat the Church like a club that you can join if you’re invited.  If you measure up to the standard of the current club members.  There may be fellowship without faith in Jesus.  Without faith in Jesus there is there is no hope or love and no future. There is no salvation in tradition or the law.  No one is saved without a personal relationship with Jesus.  The Feast Sat, March 16, 2014, Romans 9, - “The apostle's concern that his countrymen were strangers to the gospel. (1-5) The promises are made good to the spiritual seed of Abraham. (6-13) Answers to objections against God's sovereign conduct, in exercising mercy and justice. (14-24) This sovereignty is in God's dealing both with Jews and Gentiles. (25-29) The falling short of the Jews is owing to their seeking justification, not by faith, but by the works of the law.

Dressed for victory! – Romans 8

Dressed for victory!  – Romans 8   March 15, 2013 - Romans 8 Return to Admenu Home Dear  Saints, Today we prayerfully continue our Feast in Romans 8.  Saints we are among the believers who are separated in Jesus from condemnation.  We share in the privileges as the children of God through Jesus.  We who know Jesus and have faith in Him. We have hope through Jesus when under attacks of the world.   The Holy Spirit gives us peace and guides us in prayer. The love of God is in our interest as we serve Jesus.  We hold on to the promise that through Christ we will have victory over worldly things.   “37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38 For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 8:24-25, English Standard Version (ESV).  Not only do we have faith in Jesus we rejoice in the power of His might.  God prepares us for whatever duty He gives us!  “let it be known to all of you and to all the people of Israel that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead—by him this man is standing before you well. And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” ” Acts 4:10, 12 ESV.  Our Lord died so that we would have victory over whatever the world challenges us with.  God dresses us and the Holy Spirit supports us for victory in Jesus (see 1 Thessalonians 5:7-9 ESV).  In God’s army we are clothed in God’s armor. The following quote is from; “THE HOLY SPIRIT IS CALLING 03/10/13 # 516” Shared by R.L. Waters ”… We are to live in peace and with a humble heart with our fellow man and to spread the word of God. When you are with others bring up your faith in Jesus but be ready to give an answer to why you believe. Be humble and compassionate and loving not condemning. Let them see the love of Jesus within you. Just be ready with an answer…” The Feast Fri, March 15, 2014, Romans 8, - “The freedom of believers from condemnation. (1-9) Their privileges as being the children of God. (10-17) Their hopeful prospects under tribulations. (18-25) Their assistance from the Spirit in prayer. (26,27) Their interest in the love of God. (28-31) Their final triumph, through Christ.

Constant battles – Romans 7

Constant battles  – Romans 7   March 14, 2013 - Romans 7 Return to Admenu Home Dear  Saints, Today we prayerfully continue our Feast in Romans 7.  Saints we are united to Christ Jesus, to go forth gathering good fruit unto God.  The law is excellent in its functioning as it tells us how to live.  There is no salvation in God’s law because it is used to shed light on our sinful nature in the flesh. The spiritual battle rages between our  corrupt flesh and God’s grace while we live in the flesh. “24 Wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? 25 Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself serve the law of God with my mind, but with my flesh I serve the law of sin.” Romans 8:24-25, English Standard Version (ESV).  We must have faith in Jesus to overcome this battle between our spirit and flesh. “For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue, and virtue with knowledge, and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with steadfastness, and steadfastness with godliness, and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love. For if these qualities are yours and are increasing, they keep you from being ineffective or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.” 2 Peter 1:5-8 ESV.  We have the need to nurture our faith in Jesus?  Is this possible can we grow our faith in Jesus?  The answer is a resounding yes (see Romans 10:17)!  In order to be effective and fruitful we must feast in the Word God gave us regularly.  God gave us the Word that we may have life abundantly.  A sin free life is an abundant life. Give God all the glory for our righteousness is in Jesus and not of ourselves.  If Jesus is calling you right now see the following quote from; The Feast, “The down side? – Romans 5” use it as  a guide to ask Jesus to free you from a sinful life; ”… from your heart to Jesus; "Heavenly Father, have mercy on me, a sinner. I believe in you and that your word is true. I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of the living God and that he died on the cross so that I may now have forgiveness for my sins and eternal life. I know that without you in my heart my life is meaningless. I believe in my heart that you, Lord God, raised Him from the dead. Please Jesus forgive me, for every sin I have ever committed or done in my heart, please Lord Jesus forgive me and come into my heart as my personal Lord and Savior today. I need you to be my Father and my friend.  …”  If you don’t know where to turn or what to do next, please send Pastor Glen Aycock an email right now!  His email address is; pastorglenaycock@gmail.com.  He will feel blessed to point you to a bible believing church.
