Talyah

the day of pentecost in Acts is reminiscent of the Mt. Sinai experience. The thunder and lightning. The voice of God. The sharing of His word to all those who were present. The significance of the sound of the wind is the voice of the LORD who leads one into all Truth The flames is likened to the new sacrificial way of life. Before the sacrifices were laid upon the altar. NOW, the altar is the heart/mind. Romans 7:14-23, 1 John 5:3, John 14:21, John 14:15, Romans 12:1-2 One aspect of being a living sacrifice is the sacrifice of praise. Hebrews 13:15 defines it as “the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name.” This harkens back to Hosea 14:2, where the prophet painted the memorable word picture of offering “the sacrifices [literally, bull calves] of our lips.” Becoming a living sacrifice is one of the costs that observing Passover should recall to our memories, giving us substance for sober reflection aimed toward revitalizing our understanding of the significance of this important day.

This joy from the Father is deep and is hard to put into words. It can only be experienced from the intimate relationship with the creator. This joy does not come from an outside visible source but from an inside unseen force. And usually accompanies deliverance from a situation that one had sought the King for an answer from

Yes, the circumstances caused me to seek the creator. His deliverance followed along with joy and increased faith

His part: keeping safe the inheritance in the eternal realm. My part: trust The promise of His protection and deliverance is activated by my genuine trust.

Just as Yeshua told the woman who was accused of adultry to go and sin no more, he tells each one who accepts his grace (the work of the cross- His covering) to go and sin no more. What is sin? It is transgression of the law. What law? The law as written in the first five books of the bible. Each one was born into sin. Each one falls short/misses the mark of glorifying the King here in this present homeland. One should continuously investigate oneself for sin and discover what is the good and pleasing way to the King.

To me a person who regards this present homeland more than the kingdom of God is one who does not understand truth. Yes, I have been in that position before. Now, this does not give me priveledge to judge. For my level of truth to one who has a better understanding of truth might look to them as one who values the present more than the future homeland. However, the kingdom of God is at hand and one should expediently get to that understanding quickly.
