But you, when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face, so that you do not appear to men to be fasting, but to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly. (Matt 6:17-18)

 

Last Wednesday was our Monthly day of Prayer and Fasting, but you can do it anytime. We’re all busy, but what can we give up from our schedule and spend time with the Lord instead? Is it lunchtime? Surfing the internet? An hour of sleep? The point of fasting is to show the Lord that fellowship with Him is more important than our daily activities. It also strengthens our self-discipline, and that’s a good thing.

So what can you give up this week to focus more on the Lord Jesus Christ and your relationship with Him? He is worth it.

Her children rise up and call her blessed; Her husband also, and he praises her: "Many daughters have done well, But you excel them all." Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing, But a woman who fears the LORD, she shall be praised. Give her of the fruit of her hands, And let her own works praise her in the gates. (Proverbs 31:28-31)

 

Next Sunday, May 14th, is Mothers day.

            How can we thank God enough for the amazing Christian Ladies in our lives? These blessed souls carried us close to their heart for nine months, nurtured, fed, and loved us, and helped us learn how to live in the world.

I’ve said it before and it’s still true today, that the greatest expression of the Love of God on earth is the love of a Mother. And we have all had other great ladies in our lives that have invested in our raising, and helped us in innumerable ways.

So to our moms, grandmothers, aunts, Church ladies, teachers, and all the other women God has blessed us with, we all want to say THANK YOU, may God bless you, and we appreciate you more than words can say.

We all rise up and call you “Blessed”.

God bless,

Happy Mothers Day

From the Cross to Heaven's Temple: Good Friday message

Today is Good Friday, the day we commemorate the Lord's death on the cross.

FROM THE CROSS TO HEAVEN’S TEMPLE

(Excerpt from “For the Love of GOD: His Heart, Our Purpose”)

 

Wood creaked, tendons popped, raspy lungs filled with air, and the Lamb of God pushed against the nails and lifted Himself up on the cruel cross one last time.

“IT IS FINISHED! He cried in triumph.

 

And when Jesus had cried out with a loud voice, He said, “Father, into Your hands I commit My spirit.” Having said this, He breathed His last. (Luke 23:46)

 

This day, in the realms of time and eternity, our Savior will go where no one else on earth or in Heaven can go, and will do for us what no one else can do. He is our High Priest, and this is our Day of Atonement.

He sacrifices Himself on the all-consuming altar of the cross, for He is Christ our Sacrifice.

From His spear-pierced side flows water as well as blood for He is Christ our Sanctification, our Living Water.

Passing through the Holy Tabernacle of His life and ministry, He is the golden lampstand, Christ our Light.

Like showbread, He is our Bread of Life, and as incense, He is our Intercessor, the Mediator of the New Testament.

He is also the Veil, the Way into the Presence of the Father for us.

So in His final act of ultimate sacrifice, Christ tears Himself away from His body, and sends His Spirit Godward.

 

Then, behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and the earth quaked, and the rocks were split…

(Matthew 27:51)

 

Yonder in the portals of glory myriad legions of holy Cherubim with gazes fixed on their Lord of Hosts, finally hear the word they have been longing to hear from the Father.

“Go!”

Instantly they spread their wings, leap from Heaven’s precipice, and cascade downward in a celestial waterfall toward that wretched hill.

Their King is coming Home.

Like guided missiles they plummet through the sky, bearing down on the awful scene, guided by the brilliant Light of the Spirit of the Lord Jesus Christ, now separated from His body.

In a holy hurricane of glory, they swarm around him, scattering darkness and sending demons scurrying for cover. Billowing clouds of His faithful ministers hail the conquering King, the Lord of Hosts, and prepare to act as escort for the triumphal entry of the Spirit of Jesus into Heaven.

Through the sky above Jerusalem they escort Him, beyond the sun and stars they go, to the Celestial City they accompany Him. Up the sides of the Holy Mountain of fire they shout His return, and into the very Temple of Heaven itself they announce His arrival.

There is Jehovah the One True God, sitting upon the Throne, high and lifted up. Surrounded by an emerald rainbow, He is attended by the billowing clouds of a hundred million angels shouting “Holy! Holy! Holy! Lord God Almighty!”

And there now stands the Son, Beloved of the Father, the very Heart of Heaven. He has finished the godly task and completed the work His Father had set before Him. He has drained the Cup, paid the ultimate price, and claimed the ultimate victory.

How true ring the words of Heaven’s fantastic creatures in their adoration of this Christ, our Savior:

 

“…Worthy is the Lamb who was slain to receive power and riches and wisdom, and strength and honor and glory and blessing!”

(Revelation 5:12…)

 

But even now, in this moment of glory and triumph, His thoughts and actions are not for Himself, for He has Priestly work, intercessory work to perform.

 

For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands…but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us… (Hebrews 9:24)

 

It is there in the true Holy of Holies, before the real Mercy Seat, under the radiant gaze of His loving Father, that Christ presents His offering.

 

Not with the blood of goats and calves, but with His own blood He entered the Most Holy Place once for all…who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God… (Hebrews 9:12, 14)

 

Blood of Man, blood of God, blood of Heaven, is presented in Heaven for us by our High Priest for God’s consideration.

We the fallen, hold our breath.

Will God accept our High Priest? Will He accept the Sacrifice? Will it be presented well enough; will it be good enough; will it be enough? Will atonement be made and accepted that our sins be forgiven?

The Ancient of Days gathers Himself in clouds of celestial glory, amid the Mercy Seat of His Throne, attended by innumerable angels. He looks upon our High Priest standing before Him in perfect righteousness, and examines the Blood of the Sacrifice, Blood of Christ.

And He is satisfied!

Christ our High Priest is accepted, His intercession effective, the Blood of the Lamb is found to be more than sufficient for the forgiveness and cleansing of all sin.

God is well please, our sins are forgiven, and it is forever well with our souls.

And so, with the piercing of His side, and the tearing of the Veil of His flesh, the Way into the Holy of Holies is thrown open wide for us.
