Mama wakes us up early because today is the day were moving. Again. I knew it was coming soon because Pop and the tribal leaders had been stirring like always.

Instead of pictures on our walls, there were boxes. Those ugly brown boxes. They meant goodbye. I knew better then to make friends with the local children. My tribal friends have no mind state for true friendship just alliances.

Pop is packing the camels, the horses, and the mules and Mamas quietly making sure he does it right. Read more…

If you really think about it, the Cross of Christ shows us that we could not possible save ourselves. Romans 3: 21-31 spells out how we are justified by faith. We can not do anything other than accept what Christ Jesus did for us at the Cross of Calvary. He paid the price of the Sin Debt that we owed to GOD.

Abraham was known as the Altar Builder, because he was a sinner. Yes, the Patriarch Abraham, the Father of Faith was a sinner. Why do you think he built so many altars because he was so good? He believed that God was able to preform and that belief called Faith was reckoned to him for righteousness.

The question is; Does the Cross of Christ offend you? None of our church attendance adds to your salvation. We have a book shelf full of Christ centered books, nothing. We go to revivals, conventions, missionary meeting all of this merit us nothing at the Throne of GOD. You can call yourself Dr. Bishop Apostle and have 100,000 members at your church, and this holds no weight when you are at the Cross. Jesus came to save all that would humble themselves at that Ole Rugged Cross.

The question still stands; Does Christ & Him Crucified make you feel helpless towards your own means of Salvation?

Intertestamental Period is not just the point of time that God was not directly talking to Israel, but it is also the time when we as Christians don’t hear for the Spirit of the Lord. Sometimes we think that we have done something to anger God, but it’s just time when God has already told us to do something and we don’t want to do it. Yeah, in all of our ‘sanctification’ we get disobedience in the commands of the Lord. The main reason why God is not talking to us is because He has nothing more to say to us about this matter.

I was in this space of time and it really frustrated for me. All the fasting, praying, laboring in the Spirit, and trying to get some fresh manna weren’t going to make God move on my account. The last Word I got still remained, “Wait right here, I’ve be back.” Even though I was ready to move to the next place, the place wasn’t ready for me.

It’s like being told to be at a dinner party at 8 sharp, and you arrive at 6:30. None of the place setting is on the table, most of the food is still being prepared, and the hosts are half dressed. You are left to walk around the house looking crazy until the on-time guest show up. You can be a little early but not too early because you are just the guest and not a part of the set-up crew. God was still preparing me for what He had for me. He knew that I would like it, but He also knew that I would not want it if my mind wasn’t ready to accept it. Baby formula is expensive but it’s cheaper than cleaning up after a baby’s ‘stomach’ when you give them regular food.

“Be still and know that I am GOD.” Psalm 46: 10 was the only thing God would say other then “Wait”. I also had to remember how Abraham walked with the Lord GOD. Faithfully. Romans 4: 20, “He (Abraham) staggered not at the Promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in Faith, giving Glory to God; and being fully persuaded that, what He (God) had promised, He (God) was able also to perform.”KJV The last Word from God still stands. God has not changed His Mind, and until you do what God said He would finish what He started.

Read Romans 6 & 7

Okay let’s get this straight from Jump Street, since we are in the very likeness of Christ’s death and in the likeness of His resurrection then we are free from the Law. If you are in the Law you are dead, remember all the Law can do is say that you are guilty or innocent. And since we ALL come horrible short of the Glory of the LORD, then we are all worthy of death. Get it down plain and straight, stop thinking that you can do something that God will look at and say okay to. Jesus said, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life, no man comes to the Father but by Me.” The way is the Cross, the truth is you got to die, and the life is He resurrected life, period. Galatians 3: 11, is clear, ‘no one is justified by the Law before God for the Just shall live by Faith.’ Not Law but Faith, you want God to say that you are justified then live in the Liberty of Christ.

All this talk about circumcision, if you thinking cut the foreskin of your Jimmy off makes you Holy, then cut the whole ’thing’ off and be real Holy, Galatians 5: 12. The custom of circumcision was for the Children of Israel to mark themselves for the rest of the mankind. And it WAS a shadow of Christ where as in He will cut off the part of all man that is not useful and from where dirt and disease, from the Flesh, can kill what is useful to make our future. Was that plain enough?

Before you go around telling people that we need the Law understand that the Law shows us how far we fall short of God’s Glory. But Christ, Who is the Glory of the Lord, shows us the way to God.

Hebrews 10: 1-18, spells out in beautiful language in which all can understand. Or if you are really dense; Christ Jesus on the Cross summed up 4000 years of the Levitical System of Worship. There are only two lines at the end of this existence we call life; you will be the line of the LAMB for your reward(Crown of Glory) or you the line of the White Throne of Judgment. Please for the love of God read Revelation 20: 11-15.
