BURNING QUESTION 1 (MAN & LAW)


When I look at the laws of Moses which was straight from the Lord’s mouth and the Holy Bible; both are meant to guide mortal steps with the leading of the Holy Spirit.

Matthew chapter 12 and John 4 struck a chord in me.

1.       Jesus’ disciples were acting contrary to the law and Jesus said “it’s alright”. Does this mean that;

·         The law laid down by God himself from Moses does not matter here?

·         They have not done contrary to the will of God?

·         Things are not as it seems?

 
2.       Let’s look at when the adulterous woman was brought to him also; the Lord says “Neither do I condemn you..” From that moment ALL her sins have been forgiven her!

·         If she will pass by your husband and you “keep an eye” on her…YOU ARE THE SINNER.

·         If she preach the gospel to you and you scoff at her…. YOU WILL BE CONDEMED


3.       By the well with the Samaritan woman when Jesus says “the man you now have is not your husband….” Does this mean that..

·         Where the world sees her as being a wife the 5th time, Christ saw her as a single woman?

·         So, where God says “I hate divorce” does not apply to her because she can leave her current “husband” and God will not mark her books that she is divorced!

·         If a man is to be directed to her from heaven, will the man be told that she never had a husband?

These three instances tell us that “Judgment is mine.. says the Lord”!!!  That woman/man you think it’s glaring is a sinner might not be; while you who are pointing the accusing finger have sinned. Remember that Christ spoke about those who will be tod "depart from me.... i know you not..."

The word of God says Christ’s crucifixion has stopped the curse of the law from being a curse for us. It is written that cursed is he that hanged on a tree. But from that “hanging”, redemption came to mankind. 

That is why we.. who are lawful captives can be set free from all curses, from all debts (known or unknown).
JUDGE NOT! HOLY SPIRIT… TEACH US. 

 SHALLOM!!!

NEW


The end and the beginning of a year signify many things to many people.  We “take stock”, thinking of where we are coming from, where we are, where we are going and how we get there and we make resolutions. I have stopped tagging them resolutions a long time ago but I have things I want to do in a new year and this year is no different. I need to make a move on some things as soon as possible and I have started making the move on others.

We do resolutions to do some things differently, to do some new things and/or to stop old habits. A lot of us got new things for ourselves as the year was rounding up and if we are the selfless type, we also bought for friends and/or family.

God is also giving and doing new things. “See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.” Isaiah 43:19

Do you need to key into this scripture for the new things expected for this year? Those seemingly impossible things you want?  Those “pipe dreams” you talk yourself out of? Those "way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland" dreams? It's time for it to come true.
 

Please sit up, take action and key into the new things God is prepared to do because He has more than enough to go round.
