Obedience

 (Better than Sacrifice)

In scripture we learn that our Savior is our sacrifice before men and died for the sins of the House of Israel (Matt. 15:24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel). According to my understanding we are no longer required to give sacrifice after the Messiah’s life and death and life again in the Holy Spirit! However, we can give alms (offerings) and we are still commanded to be obedient to the word, the will and the way of The Most High Power “God”. The law is not done away with, your Pastor has lied to you so that he can keep his worldly ways while leading the sheep astray. Christ (Jesus) came not to change the law but to show us that it can be kept through love (Matt. 5:17). In order to experience a 2nd Exodus we have to become obedient NOW!

Family the only way to The Most High is by being obedient, believing in the Deliverer and keeping His commandments (Deuteronomy 5) that He has said to keep FOREVER over and over again. There are 613 laws in the whole Bible and despite the number we are to do our best because our Father knows our hearts. Many people try to overrule the old testament with the new but the Bible is a complete writing of our prophets and ancestors through the inspiration of our Creator; minus the books that were taken out. How can one choose what they will keep in the word and what they will throw away? The new testament lets us know that if we have love for our brothers and sisters then keeping the commandments will not be burdensome to us but a way of life. Keep it all or throw it all away…don’t straddle the fence or The Great I AM will spew you out of His mouth. I remind myself of Revelation 22:14 all the time, memorized the “big 10” and posted Deuteronomy 6:4-5 on the walls of my dwelling. If you are a spiritual being then you can feel that the end of this world is near and Heaven on earth is at the door (there is no rapture according to Matthew 6:10). Save your soul by repentance, being obedient now in the land given to satan for a season so that you can live eternally in the presence of our King and the glory of our Father. Our lives have a purpose and a plan to give glory to our Father, disobedience throws everything off course and gives the enemy glory…rebellion is witchcraft (1 Samuel 15:23).

Matt. 5:48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

Deuteronomy 4:40 (KJV) Thou shalt keep therefore his statutes, and his commandments, which I command thee this day, that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee, and that thou mayest prolong thy days upon the earth, which the LORD thy God giveth thee, for ever.

2 But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.

3 And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the Lord of hosts.

6 And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.

1 Kings 2:3 (KJV) And keep the charge of the Lord thy God, to walk in his ways, to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his judgments, and his testimonies, as it is written in the law of Moses, that thou mayest prosper in all that thou doest, and whithersoever thou turnest thyself:

James 1:22 (KJV) But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.

Matthew 7:24 (KJV) Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:

Malachi 4 (KJV)

1 For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the Lord of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.

2 But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.

3 And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the Lord of hosts.

4 Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments

5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord:

6 And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.

Woe Unto You

Stop Leading The Sheep Astray!

Jeremiah 23:21-27 (KJV)

21 I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied.

22 But if they had stood in my counsel, and had caused my people to hear my words, then they should have turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings.

23 Am I a God at hand, saith the Lord, and not a God afar off?

24 Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? saith the Lord. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the Lord.

25 I have heard what the prophets said, that prophesy lies in my name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed.

26 How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies? yea, they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart;

27 Which think to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbour, as their fathers have forgotten my name for Baal.

Prayer and Fasting

Support and Invest! Every donation is appreciated.


Prayer and fasting is defined as voluntarily going without food in order to focus on prayer and fellowship with God. Prayer and fasting often go hand in hand, but this is not always the case. You can pray without fasting, and fast without prayer. It is when these two activities are combined and dedicated to God’s glory that they reach their full effectiveness. Having a dedicated time of prayer and fasting is not a way of manipulating God into doing what you desire. Rather, it is simply forcing yourself to focus and rely on God for the strength, provision, and wisdom you need.

Prayer and Fasting – What the Bible Says:
The Old Testament law specifically required prayer and fasting for only one occasion, which was the Day of Atonement. This custom became known as “the day of fasting” (Jeremiah 36:6) or “the Fast” (Acts 27:9). Moses fasted during the 40 days and 40 nights he was on Mount Sinai receiving the law from God (Exodus 34:28). King Jehoshaphat called for a fast in all Israel when they were about to be attacked by the Moabites and Ammonites (2 Chronicles 20:3). In response to Jonah’s preaching, the men of Nineveh fasted and put on sackcloth (Jonah 3:5). Prayer and fasting was often done in times of distress or trouble. David fasted when he learned that Saul and Jonathan had been killed (2 Samuel 1:12). Nehemiah had a time of prayer and fasting upon learning that Jerusalem was still in ruins (Nehemiah 1:4). Darius, the king of Persia, fasted all night after he was forced to put Daniel in the den of lions (Daniel 6:18). 

Prayer and Fasting – What Does it Accomplish?:
Spending time in prayer and fasting is not automatically effective in accomplishing the desires of those who fast. Fasting or no fasting, God only promises to answer our prayers when we ask according to His will. 1 John 5:14-15 tells us, “This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us – whatever we ask – we know that we have what we asked of him.” In the prophet Isaiah’s time, the people grumbled that they had fasted, yet God did not answer in the way they wanted (Isaiah 58:3-4). Isaiah responded by proclaiming that the external show of fasting and prayer, without the proper heart attitude, was futile (Isaiah 58:5-9). 

How can you know if you are praying and fasting according to God’s will? Are you praying and fasting for things that honor and glorify God? Does the Bible clearly reveal that it is God’s will for you? If we are asking for something that is not honoring to God or not God’s will for our lives, God will not give what we ask for, whether we fast or not. How can we know God’s will? God promises to give us wisdom when we ask. James 1:5 tells us, “If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.”
