Where should I look?

Where should I look?       April 8, 2013 - 2 Chronicles 16-17     Return to Admenu Home           Dear  Saints,   Today we prayerfully, continue to Feast in a double portion in 2 Chronicles 16-17.  in chapter 16 we see the end of King Asa’s reign and the results of his lack of faith in God.  In chapter 17 his son Jehoshaphat is off to a good start with God.  “3 The Lord was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the earlier ways of his father David. He did not seek the Baals, 4 but sought the God of his father and walked in his commandments, and not according to the practices of Israel. 5 Therefore the Lord established the kingdom in his hand. And all Judah brought tribute to Jehoshaphat, and he had great riches and honor. 6 His heart was courageous in the ways of the Lord. And furthermore, he took the high places and the Asherim out of Judah.” 2 Chronicles 17:3-6 English Standard Version (ESV). Those of us, who have a good start with our faith in the Lord Jesus, should keep faith to the end.  “For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life.” Romans 5:10 ESV.  Jesus died for our sin while we were still sinning.  Because he pulled us up out of our worldly ways, we should keep faith in Jesus until God calls us home.    As long as we hold onto our faith we will never fall.  “29 “Come,” he said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. 30 But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!”” Matthew 14:29-30 ESV.  Keep your eyes on Jesus, not the condition of the world around us.  Look to Jesus the author and finisher of our faith.   Do you feel that Jesus is reaching out to you?  If the answer is yes please click the following link;   http://www.admenu.com/calling.htm           The Feast   Mon, April 8, 2013,  2 Chronicles 16 -17, - “Asa seeks the aid of the Syrians, His death.” – “Jehoshaphat promotes religion in Judah, His prosperity.”  – Matthew Henry Concise                       Pastor Glen’s complete Devotional Series |Click Here|   See Destiny by Sandra Lee |Click Here|   The Holy Spirit Is Calling by R.

What are you holding on to?

What are you holding on to?       April 7, 2013 - 2 Chronicles 15     Return to Admenu Home           Dear  Saints,   Today we prayerfully, continue to Feast in 2 Chronicles 15.  When God’s people found themselves suffering they turned to the Lord, and sought him, God heard them.  The people make a solemn covenant with God.  “17 But the high places were not taken out of Israel. Nevertheless, the heart of Asa was wholly true all his days. 18 And he brought into the house of God the sacred gifts of his father and his own sacred gifts, silver, and gold, and vessels. 19 And there was no more war until the thirty-fifth year of the reign of Asa.” 2 Chronicles 15:17-19 English Standard Version (ESV). We know the grace of God is sufficient for all he asks of us.  If an earthly father can love unconditionally despite a child's mess, how much more does our heavenly Father love us regardless of our uncleanness?  “I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.” Galatians 2:20 ESV.  Jesus died for us that we would be free from sin.  Look around Saints, we have the one thing that none of the false religions have.  All the religions that are following false gods have one thing in common.  Their followers have been told that they must make the sacrifice to be saved.  Besides Jesus I know of no other god that paid the full price for the salvation of their followers.  I know there is no other name under heaven, by which we are saved than Jesus.  We are justified because of the faith we hold on to in Jesus.   Do you feel that Jesus is reaching out to you?  If the answer is yes please click the following link;   http://www.admenu.com/calling.htm           The Feast   Sun, April 7, 2013,  2 Chronicles 15, - “The people make a solemn covenant with God.” – Matthew Henry Concise                       Pastor Glen’s complete Devotional Series |Click Here|   See Destiny by Sandra Lee |Click Here|   The Holy Spirit Is Calling by R.

What does my life reveal?

What does my life reveal?       April 6, 2013 - 2 Chronicles 14     Return to Admenu Home           Dear  Saints,   Today we prayerfully, continue to Feast in 2 Chronicles 14.  In the Feast for today we read about Asa's piety.  He tore down the places where false gods were worshiped.   He even removed his own mother as Queen because she worshiped false gods.  Because King Asa loved the Lord with all his heart and might God strengthened his kingdom.  “12 So the Lord defeated the Ethiopians before Asa and before Judah, and the Ethiopians fled. 13 Asa and the people who were with him pursued them as far as Gerar, and the Ethiopians fell until none remained alive, for they were broken before the Lord and his army. The men of Judah carried away very much spoil.” 2 Chronicles 14:12-13 English Standard Version (ESV). God lifts up and even defends those whose lives demonstrate their love for God.  “By this we know love, that he laid down his life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers.” 1 John 3:16 ESV.  I guess the question is; what does my life reveal about me.  Is my life as a Christian a smoke screen to cover my true love?   God can see my heart; he knows what I struggle with in my flesh.  Do I really love and appreciate what Jesus means to me?  Do I give God the glory when I avoid sin?  Do I truly repent when I sin (yes I still do) and turn to my Lord for love and forgiveness.  God knows my heart and if the answer is yes; He will continue to bless me.   If you would prefer to view or print these blogs with a plain background go to http://feastable.blogspot.com/     Do you feel that Jesus is reaching out to you?  If the answer is yes please click the following link;   http://www.admenu.com/calling.htm         The Feast   Sat, April 6, 2013,  2 Chronicles 14, - “Asa's piety, He strengthens his kingdom.” – Matthew Henry Concise                       Pastor Glen’s complete Devotional Series |Click Here|   See Destiny by Sandra Lee |Click Here|   The Holy Spirit Is Calling by R.
