GOD’S THOUGHTS ARE NOT OUR THOUGHTS

Seek the Lord while He may be found, Call upon Him while He is near.

Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts;

Let him return to the LORD, and He will have mercy on him; and to our GOD, for He will abundantly pardon.

“For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” says the LORD.

“For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts.”

For the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, and do not return there, but water the earth, and make it bring forth and bud, That it may give seed to the sower and bread to the eater.

So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall Accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.

Isaiah 55: 6-11

WHAT IS PASSOVER ?

The actual in-depth meaning for Passover is that the LORD passed over all of the House of Israel. The LORD GOD executed His judgment between Egypt and Israel. Many are taught that Passover symbolizes Israel being freed from the slavery of Egypt 430yrs…… Let take a look on what the bible says….

Now we must always remember that the House of Israel consist of 12 tribes of different groups of people, for God’s purpose.That the Lord does not just recognize one group of peoples. Rev 7:3-9

Trivia note: Ex 2:1 Moses was the son of a Levite family that lived in Egypt in Africa. Levi is the name of one of the12  tribes of the people of Israel. They are known as the priests.

Ex 12:5-14 For I will pass thru the land this night and smite all first born in the land man and animals  and against all the gods of Egypt. I will execute Judgment: I am the LORD. And the blood shall be as a token on the houses where you are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you. ( the destroyer passed over His children) you shall keep it as a feast by ordinance forever.

So let’s recap…Ex 12:23-27 The Passover is kept as a memorial feast to the LORD  to remember forever how the LORD passed over and spared those of the House of Israel.

Ex 12: 31- 38 After these events occurred, Pharaoh told Moses and Aaron to take Israel and  go and serve the LORD as you requested. And bless me by leaving Egypt.

The whole purpose of them leaving Egypt was so they can go and serve the LORD. Ex7:15, 8:20

 

 

 

Long Winded Preaching Causes Death

This passage of Scripture puts a warm smile into my heart  every time I read it.

How many people have been to  church where it appears that the Minister goes on and on  and on? Well, The same thing happened to a young man named Eutychus in a passage of the Bible in the book  called  Acts: 20:9-12.

And on the first day of the week when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart the next day. And he continued his speech until midnight.

And there were many lights in the upper chamber (a lot of people there) where they were gathered together.

And there sat in a window a certain young man named Eutychus, being fallen to sleep due to Paul’s long preaching. Eutychus sunk down with sleep, and fell out the window from the third story loft, and died.

And Paul went down and fell on him, and embracing him saying, trouble not yourselves; for his life is in him.

When life returned to Eutychus,  he broke  bread, and had eaten. And Paul continued to talk a long while, even til the break of day. (Dawn) And Paul departed.

And they brought the young man alive,  but the people were disturbed.

Leave a comment and let’s talk about it!
