The
Useless Vine
Please join with

Dead!
“6 If you do
not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such
branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned.”
John 15:6
Dear
Saints,
“Jerusalem like an
unfruitful vine.
- If a vine be
fruitful, it is valuable. But if not fruitful, it is worthless and useless, it
is cast into the fire. Thus man is capable of yielding a precious fruit, in
living to God; this is the sole end of his existence; and if he fails in this,
he is of no use but to be destroyed. What blindness then attaches to those who
live in the total neglect of God and of true religion! This similitude is
applied to Jerusalem. Let us beware of an unfruitful profession. Let us come to
Christ, and seek to abide in him, and to have his words abide in us.“ -
Matthew Henry Concise.
God’s Word came
to Ezekiel; concerning Jerusalem no longer producing fruit (see
Ezekiel 15) it can only be
used as firewood, once the ends are burnt and its middle is charred, it can’t be
used for anything. That nation as a
whole no longer glorifies God; “6 I, the Lord God,
promise that just as the wood of a grapevine is burned as firewood, 7 I will
punish the people of Jerusalem with fire. Some of them have escaped one
destruction, but soon they will be completely burned. And when that happens,
you, Ezekiel, will know that I am the Lord. 8 I will
make their country an empty wasteland, because they have not been loyal to me.
I, the Lord God, have spoken. ” Ezekiel 15:6-8 English
Standard Version (ESV). God’s Word makes the future clear (see
Matthew 3:10) for the person or nation who stops glorifying our Lord. God has given each believer gifts with which
to glorify God; “6 Having gifts that
differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, in
proportion to our faith; 7 if service, in our serving; the one who teaches, in
his teaching; 8 the one
who exhorts, in his exhortation; the one who contributes, in generosity; the one who leads, with zeal; the one who does acts of mercy, with cheerfulness.”
Romans 12:6-8 ESV. Whatever gifts the Holy Spirit has
blessed you with (see
1 Corinthians 13:1-3) use that gift of God tempered with love for
God’s glory. It is not enough to Just
know who Jesus is; (see
James 2:18-20) each of us must
repent, ask Him in and lovingly produce good fruit.
Listen! Can you hear
Jesus calling you? Are you ready to
answer His call? Do you want to find true happiness, peace and
purpose in your life? If the answer is
yes to any of these questions please click the following link;

Turn Back to the Lord
|
Today’s Feast
July 28, 2014-Ezekiel 14
Turn Back to the Lord
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. Gods Not Dead!
“13 Go
and learn what this means, 'I desire mercy, and not
sacrifice.' For I came not to call the righteous, but
sinners."” Matthew
9:13
Dear
Saints,
Today
we prayerfully continue our Feast by reading the book of Ezekiel Chapter 14;
“Threatenings against hypocrites. (1-11) God's
purpose to punish the guilty Jews, but a few should be saved. (12-23)“
- Matthew
Henry Concise.
The Word of God came to Ezekiel; I am the Lord God.
Stop worshiping idols and come back to me, (see Ezekiel
14:1-11) stop destroying yourself with sin, and return back to me. When an entire nation sins against God, its people
and livestock will starve to death (see Ezekiel
14:12-23) they will know it is the Lord God who punishes them; “22 But behold, some survivors will be left in it, sons
and daughters who will be brought out; behold, when they come out to you, and you
see their ways and their deeds, you will be consoled for the disaster that I
have brought upon Jerusalem, for all that I have brought upon it. 23 They will console you,
when you see their ways and their deeds, and you shall know that I have not done
without cause all that I have done in it, declares the Lord GOD."”
Ezekiel
13:22-23 English Standard Version (ESV). God’s Word tells
us there is no reason
that a whole nation will
be punished (see
2
chronicles 7:14) if the people turn to God in prayer and deed that nation
can be healed. No matter what the
world does we must push forward honoring Jesus; “14 I press on toward the goal for the
prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.”
Philippians
3:14 ESV. Each person is responsible to accept
or reject (see John 3:16) the
loving gift of God for themselves. We
can’t be double minded (see James
1:6-8) each of us must make and stand with our own choice. Decide today while there is still time to put
off the sins of idolatry (see Hebrews
3:7-11) so that you may enter into God’s rest!
Is Jesus is calling you? Are you ready to choose to God’s love today
so you can enter in to His rest? Do you want to find true happiness, peace
and purpose in your life? If the
answer is yes to any of these questions please click the following link; http://www.admenu.com/calling.htm
The Feast is intended to encourage Saints to pray and
read every word in the bible! Let me

Founder and Perfecter of Our Faith ] Therefore, since we are
surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every
weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the
race that is set before us,” Hebrews 12:1 ESV.

Did God Really Say It?
|
Today’s
Feast
July 27,
2014-Ezekiel 13
Did God
Really Say It?
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. Gods Not
Dead!
“22 For false
christs and false prophets will arise and perform signs and wonders, to lead astray,
if possible, the elect.” Mark
13:22
Dear
Saints,
Today we prayerfully continue our
Feast by reading the book of Ezekiel
Chapter 13; “Heavy judgments against lying
prophets. (1-9) The insufficiency of
their work. (10-16) Woes against false
prophetesses. (17-23)“ -
Matthew Henry Concise.
The Word of God
came to Ezekiel saying; Condemn the false prophets who say they speak in my name
(see
Ezekiel 13:1-9) I will
punish those lying prophets. False
prophets will go to great lengths to sound good (see
Ezekiel 13:10-16) they will
fail like a well painted car with no coolant a long steep grade. Condemn women
who use magic charms and preach messages that come from their own imagination;
(see
Ezekiel 13:17-23) they lie
to good people and encourage them to do wrong; “22 Because you have disheartened the righteous falsely, although I
have not grieved him, and you have encouraged the wicked, that he should not
turn from his evil way to save his life, 23 therefore
you shall no more see false visions nor practice divination. I will deliver my
people out of your hand. And you shall know that I am the
LORD."” Ezekiel 13:22-23 English
Standard Version (ESV). God’s Word tells us to test the prophets
(see
Deuteronomy 18:22) if what they prophesy is wrong (even one
time) they can’t be our God’s Prophet. “[ Jesus, Founder and Perfecter of Our Faith ] Therefore,
since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside
every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the
race that is set before us,”
Hebrews 12:1 ESV. Once more I would ask each of you
join us in the harvest field (see
James 2:14) sharing Gods love as we continue to follow Jesus. Don’t be carried away by everyone (see 2 Corinthians 11:13-15) who claims to have a new message from God.
Pray and study God’s Word; so you won’t
be carried away or persuaded (see
Galatians 1:6-9) by a new, strange or
different Gospel.
Do you think Jesus is
calling you? Do you want to hear God’s
plans for your life? Do you want to find true happiness, peace and
purpose in your life? If the answer is
yes to any of these questions please click the following link;
