    I do it. You do it. At times we all worry about the provision we NEED on this earth. After Jesus taught on the foolishness of choosing to value earthly property over Heaven's treasure(s), He scatters our worries! Our lives here are provided for by His hand. If you've time watch the birds even in this frozen ground they swoop down and eat without a worry:

Luke 12:22 (KJV) "And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on.

    23 The life is more than meat, and the body [is more] than raiment.

    24 Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls?" 

Forgive my worries Father for You are Sovereign!

  He [Jesus] came unto His own and they received Him not. Promised from Genesis chapter 3, foretold of Moses, prophetically promised by the Prophets, of whom were killed, Jesus came to save His own (Israel and the Gentiles-as promised by God to Abraham), because of agape-non emotional, unconditional love.  This love and sacrifice was and is rejected by Israel and Gentile people alike.  Hear Jesus' words about His heart for His people, yet they rejected Him still:

Luke 13:34 (KJV) "O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent unto thee; how often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen [doth gather] her brood under [her] wings, and ye would not!"

  In the below passage, that are the last three verses of Luke 12, Jesus refers to judgement, adversary, and Magistrate. Since we can only repent and "TRUST" on Jesus for salvation, when Yah'veh or God draws us to Jesus by His Holy Spirit,  the final Magistrate in eternity-Jesus is pleading settle with your adversary (God since you're lost) and have to face the Magistrate (Jesus) in eternity; however, if God has saved you, Jesus will not judge you to condemnation! He will be your Mediator or Advocate in eternity! 

Luke 12:57 (KJV) "Yea, and why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right?

   58 When thou goest with thine adversary to the magistrate, [as thou art] in the way, give diligence that thou mayest be delivered from him; lest he hale thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and the officer cast thee into prison.

   59 I tell thee, thou shalt not depart thence, till thou hast paid the very last mite." #Repentance_is_a_Gift

"Commanded To Go And Share The Gospel With Nothing But Faith And A Command"

    It seems so unnatural many times to do what God tells us individually to do. These passages are an example. Take nothing with you, stay where the Gospel is accepted, and shake the dust off your feet where it is rejected as for a testimony, to their condemnation, to hell for rejecting the Gospel:

Luke 9:2 (KJV) "And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.

   3 And he said unto them, Take nothing for [your] journey, neither staves, nor scrip, neither bread, neither money; neither have two coats apiece.

  4 And whatsoever house ye enter into, there abide, and thence depart.

  5 And whosoever will not receive you, when ye go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet for a testimony against them.

  6 And they departed, and went through the towns, preaching the gospel, and healing every where."

"Worry Can Only Destroy Me"

    "Worry Can Only Destroy Me"

    My most sincere apologies in absence of writing the last 27 months.  I have been through some medical trials and tribulations.  Three heart attacks (four since 2011) on 10/31/15, 11/08/15, and 9/23/16.  I know have diabetes type two enhancing every imaginable problem.  I have PTSD and anxiety disorder from the Marine Corps and the severe health problems that hit all at once in less than a year.  This past year I suffered an atrial aneurism back in August and discovered to diabetic damaged heart arteries that are damaged.  I have incurred glaucoma, and three eye glass rx changes  in less than a year, and had a hernia surgery on my birthday in November on birthday, was to be out patient; however, my kidneys went in complete renal failure for the third time since 201, I developed congestive heart failure, and pneumonia during the surgery.  I have been writing tons of devotions for the blog, and have decided to start publishing them for our mutual edification.  Sorry for the last 27 months, but I shall attempt to daily publish again!

   I can't add one inch to my height by worrying or dwelling on it. I can't make my heart disease or congestive heart failure disappear by worrying about it; however,  I can hasten its end result by worrying and stress. I can, as a Christian pray, be thankful, and ask the concern of any burden I have be carried by Jesus! Only His shoulders are wide enough:

  Luke 12:25 KJV "And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit?

   26 If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest?

   27 Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these." 

Bless you all and pleas share if the Holy Spirit so leads you.  

 

In Christ, brother Jason

A Wise Separation of Power

I.)Isaiah 33:22 (KJV) 22 For the LORD [is] our judge, the LORD [is] our lawgiver, the LORD [is] our king; he will save us.

  1.) Notice Who is able to handle what or Founding Fathers knew that a government of men could not handle. In this passage we see the driving verse that set in motion the separation of powers in our United States Constitution. At the Constitutional Convention, in which Honorable General George Washing chaired as president, and men who were mostly trained in what we call Ivy League schools today, we're originally seminary or Bible Universities to train clergy. No doubt many of these men had their training in these schools. The above verse no doubt was known toWashington, Adams, Mason, Madison, Hamilton and the likes of such, for they learned to read, by the Holy Scriptures and were intimately acquainted with them.  

  2.) Yahweh is able to handle all three branches because of His omnipotence and perfect Holiness, men however; are not so capable. See reader, the three distinct offices? Righteous Judge, perfect and fair lawgiver, and omnipotent brave King and Leader.  The old adage is that power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
II.) Obviously the LORD is the Supreme Judge of the universe, the One Whom dictates Providence, both are  "John Locke" philosophical terms used by Honorable Thomas Jefferson used in the Declaration of Independence, which is the backbone, lens, or glass we view and interpret the Constitution through Beloved! The birth certificate of our nation's independence that gave birth to the codex laws of restraining Federal power in view of thirteen sovereign states united.  Since, God is justly, He is a faithful Judge and will do so justly.  Our Founders knew that men are fallible, biased, and apt to make willful and honest mistakes.  So they made a separate branch the Supreme Court, of more than one man to judge by the paradigm, of a nation of laws and not men!  That's it, not make laws, not set political agenda, and most definitely NOT strike down the chains that restrain the Federal government from over stepping sovereign authority of the states united, in the Constitution, for the LORD is the only fair and impartial judge, hence human justice is to be blind and not biased.
III.) "The Lord is the ONLY One Whom can make just laws, ever since Mount Sinai, He gave us ten simple laws that are the litmus test of four laws which determine whether we are right before Him, then six to show how we relate to each other as citizens.  Since the same paradigm of power in one man's hand,  another separation of power, a two house legislature with vested with the Constitutionally limited power to make laws, with all money bills coming from the Congress or House of Representatives directly elected by the people with a wise two year term limit since the may disobey the people's will.  This is taken from the above verse and from Exodus where God instructed Moses to choose representatives to help him govern: "And the Lord said unto Moses, gather unto me seventy men, elders of Israel, whom thou knowest to be elders of the people, officers over them; and bringest them to the tabernacle of the congregation, that they may stand there with thee." Numbers 11:16 (KJV) distributing the responsibility and accountability amongst the people.
IV.) Lastly, there is only ONE true KING of kings Who can govern just and righteously.  The Founding Fathers had the Christian and father of the nation George Washington in mind when they developed this the Executive branch.  Honorable General Washington said, "It is impossible to rightly govern without God and the Bible." This quote isn't found in his writings yet reported amongst those who served and fought with him. I 'll take their words over a Phd, who's based his work off another Phd.  Needless to say, going by the verse in Isaiah "A Wise Separation of Powers" is a design of God, He has these three distinct offices, yet, in man these offices were separated to form a Republic the likes of which earth never saw before, until this time of history.  Knowing the background of history helps us as a plumb line helps us see how far off we from the designer's plans.  And this my friends is the crux of the governmental problems in America, whereas the crux of the spiritual problems is the "IF My people will humble themselves..." the church in America.  God Bless and Godspeed.

Give Us Barabbas!

I.)Who is the Son of Man?
    A.) The promise- In the beginning we were and are promised a deliverer from the Serpents sting. In the third chapter of Genesis we see God already had provision for or fall in place, in His unique timing, His precise timing! "And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel." (Genesis 3:15 KJV) the first prophecy of the Christ Who would and did come, and is yet to come again! Just more evidence that our Father is the personal involved God!
   B.) The Prophecy- God, centuries later in a time of hopelessness, during the Babylonian captivity for violating the Sabbaths, and gross idolatry, would speak through perhaps on of His most courages and effective prophets Daniel. "I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him. And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed." (Daniel 7:13-14 KJV) Even in the valley God is GOOD and involved in what seems like hopeless situations! Notice the details in this prophecy, they are two fold: already partly filled and to be fulfilled! Glory!
   C.) The Provision- Let us just let the Scripture speak on this point: "At that time Jesus went on the sabbath day through the corn; and his disciples were an hungred, and began to pluck the ears of corn, and to eat. But when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto him, Behold, thy disciples do that which is not lawful to do upon the sabbath day. But he said unto them, Have ye not read what David did, when he was an hungred, and they that were with him;How he entered into the house of God, and did eat the shewbread, which was not lawful for him to eat, neither for them which were with him, but only for the priests? Or have ye not read in the law, how that on the sabbath days the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are blameless? But I say unto you, That in this place is one greater than the temple. But if ye had known what this meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless. For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day." (Matthew 12:1-8 KJV) Jesus provides the physical need for hunger in this passage, paints the illustration of being spiritually fed, and notifies the Pharisees of the Sanhedrin exactly Who He is, in His provision!

II.) What did the Son of Man do?  
   A.) He entered our world of human history- At an exact planned moment of time, Christ entered our world, fully God, fully human, for a fulfilled promise! "But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.  And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father." (Galatians 4:4-6 KJV)  Friends, Beloved, Christians, brethren and sisters... read that passage again! Look, Behold! the promise, the provision, the prophecy fulfilled that the Holy Spirit had Paul write in three verses of Galatians! Glory! Thank God in heaven He entered our world!
   B.) He entered the "PAID IN FULL" stamp in God's ledger of justice:  "Tetelestai" is the Koine Greek from the original text of the Gospels and a language that would be used commonly by educated Hebrews, Hellenistic Jews, and Rome in the their foreign territories... It is an accounting term, it also means "IT IS FINISHED." Yes, Jesus said this on the cross! And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." (John 3:14-16) 

III.) Was Jesus sold into bondage?  In all actuality, yes, for the price of a common slave.  Thirty pieces of silver, which Judas Iscariot would throw back at the Sanhedrin before taking his own life and entering Hell.  Jesus the Son of Man would be sold for thirty pieces of silver, and an exchange for a common rebel, thief, and murderer whom Rome had finally caught and had in custody! The nam Barabbas means sons of men.  The Child of heaven in exchange for the sons of men and thirty pieces of returned silver; however, this only fulfilled the many promises and prophecies in the Old and New testament, going all the way back to Genesis 3:15.

Have you accepted your payment in full in God's ledger of justice? He's paid it in full friend! Happy Friday and Godspeed my friends! In Christ, Jason!
