Are you a Saul, that God is calling, in spite of who and what you have been, to be used as a mighty messenger of Jesus? Rise up now, and heed the call, in spite of your circumstances and your opinion of who you are. Let God,through Jesus do the work

Arw27

“Now Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest, and asked for letters from him to the synagogues at Damascus, so that if he found any belonging to the Way, both men and women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem. As he was traveling, it happened that he was approaching Damascus, and suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him; and he fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?” And he said, “Who are You, Lord?” And He said, “I am Jesus whom you are persecuting, but get up and enter the city, and it will be told you what you must do.””

Injustice & Idolatry – The Final decade of Israel’s Southern Kingdom.

Will you stop what you are doing………and follow Jesus. What is holding you back?

Arw27

If you’re not in it Lord, I don’t want it.

Arw27

We like sheep have gone astray!

Arw27

Lord, forgive us, when follow after man’s wisdom and not seek you. You are the author of all wisdom and seek to have relationship, with us, and walk the path before us. Help us not to look back, but keeping our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of the race. HE is our example, fully human and fully God. May our paths be directed by you and you alone. Amen.

A warning from God, through the Old Testament prophet, Habakkuk. Not so common in the US, but we have our own objects or things we do, that we can call idols. Let’s hear from you, on what they are.

Arw27

““What profit is the idol when its maker has carved it, Or an image, a teacher of falsehood? For its maker trusts in his own handiwork When he fashions speechless idols. Woe to him who says to a piece of wood, ‘Awake!’ To a mute stone, ‘Arise!’ And that is your teacher? Behold, it is overlaid with gold and silver, And there is no breath at all inside it. But the Lord is in His holy temple. Let all the earth be silent before Him.””
‭‭Habakkuk‬ ‭2‬:‭18‬-‭20‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬

What does GOD, require of Man?

Arw27

Even when we don’t see him, he’s working, even when we don’t feel him, he’s working, He never stops, He never stops working. He is……Way maker, Promise keeper, light in the Darkness, My God, that is Who You Are!

Arw27

We will find no condemnation, under the Old Testament Law and covenant, for those under the New Covenant of grace, we find freedom from the bondage of sin. Do I hear a Hallelujah?

Arw27

17 the Lord is the Spirit. Yahweh of the OT is the same Lord who is saving people in the New Covenant through the agency of the Holy Spirit. The same God is the minister of both the Old and New Covenants. there is liberty. Freedom from sin and the futile attempt to keep the demands of the law as a means of earning righteousness (cf. Jn 8:32–36; Ro 3:19, 20). The believer is no longer in bondage to the law’s condemnation and Satan’s dominion.
