Jesus, the way, the truth and the life

" The Lord shall fight for you "    Ex  14 :10-20

The children of Israel, facing many challenges and trials had left Egypt but now  started complaining to God on their journey to the promised land.

Life is not fair. Have you heard this statement? I know that you all have  heard it many times when you turn on the news . We hear so many sad stories about young and old people  in  many difficult life situations looking for help and miracles from God. We may pray about a situation and God doesn't seem to answer us and we question what is going on !.

Where are you God? Are you even there? In Exodus 14: 11  And they said to Moses, "is it because there are no graves in Egypt that you have taken us away to die in the wilderness? Why have you treated us this way and brought us out of Egypt?" Moses told the people "Fear not, stand still and see the salvation. For the Egyptians you have seen today you shall never see again."

The Lord is commanding us today  to stop our complaining , the Lord will fight for us and the Lord will divide all the seas which we are facing today.The Lord will control our enemy, the Lord will confront our enemy and the Lord will conquer our enemy, so let us fight the battle with devotion and determination .

The Lord has a purpose for our life journey and the purpose  is for us to inherit that heavenly place and to occupy the land in that journey.  Any
hinderance we  may face,  will be removed by God.

PRAYER

Renew our strength, Lord. Fill us with Your supernatural power to overcome each obstacle in our path. You are our rock and our salvation and we run to You today believing that You will lift our heavy burdens from us. In Christ name we pray. Amen

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
Do not be afraid, nor dismayed because of this great multitude, for the battle is not yours, but God's.   (  2 Chron. 20:15 )

  Constant, patient and welcoming love of God   St. Luke 15: 11-32  V.21: And the son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight, and am no longer worthy to be called your son.’ The parable of the ‘Prodigal son’ is one of the most frequently quoted parables that Jesus told His disciples. The parable contains the rich mine of human virtues and emotions. This parable is lived and re-lived in progressing civilizations from time immemorial and continuing. It brings out in vivid detail the pathetic depth of human sinfulness and the glorious heights of God’s forgiveness.      As a story of human nature, fathers are generally merciful to their children in any circumstance. They are very protective and are eager to provide for and secure the lives of their offspring. Jesus is telling this parable to underscore the superlative love of God to His children. The nature of such love is reiterated by Jesus in Matthew 7:11. Humankind who are evil by nature, give good gifts t

PRIESTHOOD: THE ANOINTED MINISTRY Exodus 40:12-16 Bring Aaron and his sons to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting... wash them with water. Then dress Aaron in the sacred garments, anoint him and consecrate him so he may serve me as priest (Exodus 40: 12-13). Priesthood among the people of God was a divine command and initiation. God wanted some people to be separated for the special ministry among his people. God appointed Aaron and his descendants to take up this kind of ministry among the people of God. Priests are always separated and appointed as channels that connect God with his people. All throughout the history of Israel, priests played an important role in connecting people with God and to lead and guide them in the statutes of God. But there are incidents in the Bible where the priests failed in their duties and that led the people to go away from God. So the priests have a special and significant ministry to perform in this world among his people. Two important things

Revelation for Liberation Acts 27:18-26 Sherine Thomas Long Island MTC, NY 20  When neither sun nor stars appeared for many days, and no small tempest raged, all hope of our being saved was at last abandoned. “After winter comes the summer.  After night comes the dawn.  And after every storm, there comes clear open skies” so said a Scottish clergyman from the 1600s. It’s been said, that hope can sometimes be the most dangerous weapon.  However, it’s sometimes the hardest weapon to carry when you’re living with the loss of a loved one, something that almost feels like a terrible nightmare that’ll never go away.  It’s a weapon difficult to carry when day in and day out no one seems to hear or see those tears that are shed or silent cries that are made during a heartfelt prayer. It’s a weapon difficult to carry as you see your loved one lying on that hospital bed.  It’s a weapon difficult to carry as you search and seek out answers to tell a child as to why they’ve been a
