Good morning and welcome to church on the net..hope all are well and happy this fine fall day.. please continue to pray for one another as you know God loves to answer prayers..
Father we thank you for your Word and i pray we receive a blessing from it today... in Jesus name i pray, amen..
22And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.
23It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.
24For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:
25Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others;
26For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.
27And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
28So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. Hebrews 9:22-28 kjv..
You can rst assured that He will come a second time. At this time he will not suffer for sin. Instead, he will come to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him. He will not be sending a limo or a bus for his blood bought born again believers but He will come as He left when He ascended into heaven..the trump will sound and we, in a moment in a twinkling of ane eye will meet him in the clouds and the the great marriage supper of the LAMB will take plaxe Oh what a glorious day that will be GLORY TO GOD
Many of the world want to be on right terms with God, but they want it on their terms and not God's. a good example is Cain, he wanted to bring what his hand had done and not according to what God required of Cain and we see our first murder in the bible.
Then we move through the nation of Israel and see how God has laid out plans for them and these plans include the shedding of blood to cover sins. Until Jesus came, this was the ritual of the nation of Israel. Covering their sins, but never really having them removed. Then Jesus, the Lamb of God, comes and lays out before men what the Father has for them and becomes the perfect sacrifice for all. Now it is not what men wanted and especially of the family of Abraham. They are living in subjection to Rome, though as we read the Scriptures, we read such things as "We have never been slaves to anyone!", yet what were they doing with Rome within their couhat's what is going o today.. people are living as if it feels good do it..but it does not work that way according to Go's plan and ther will be aFather we thank you for your mercy and love toward us as under deserving as we are yet you love us.and as always Father if there is one reading this that is not born again may thy sweet Holty Spirit speak to their heart and they will ask you to come into their heart and save them and they too can enjoy that abundant life..I ask these things in Jesus name and for Christ sake, Amen.. pay day someday..homosexuality,fornication and the list goes on are sins and God hates sin.. Yes, man will work many different angles and attempt many different things, but God has laid out the plan through His Son that we each might have life and have it more abundantly. i am 79 years old, and ys i have all kinds of health problems, but God has been good to me and i enjoy serving him more now than ever before.. God has a plan and it touches each of us where we are and what we are doing right here today and into the future. Learn from the Scriptures and allow the Spirit of God to speak to your heart and guide on the path that will honor Him...i know that you will have a more abundent life if you just trust in Him..what a wonderful Saviour we serve.have a great week-end and tell someone about Jesus..
Father we again thank you for your precious Wod, a lamp unto our feet, that we would follow the path thou has planned for us.. and as usual Father if there is one here who don't know you as their lord and Saviour, may this be their day of salvatiion..i pray and ask this in Jesus name and for Christ sake amen..
