The New is Here!

If then, perfection came through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people received the law), what further need was there for another priest to appear, said to be in the Oder of Melchizedek and not of the order of Aaron? For when there is a change of the priesthood, there must be a change of the law as well. For the One these things are spoken about belonged to a different tribe. No one from it has served at the altar. Now it is evident that our Lord came from Judah, and Moses said nothing about that tribe concerning priests.
And this becomes clearer if another priest like Melchizedek appears, who did not become a priest based on a legal command concerning physical descent but based on the power of an indestructible life. For it has been testified:
'you are a priest forever in the Oder of Melchizedek.' Hebrews 7:11-17

I don't know about you but I am grateful that the new came in the shape of Jesus Christ. Struggling under the law would have been a heavy burden indeed. Jesus came and took our load. He said: ' My burden is easy, My yoke is light!' The reason His burden is easy is we are free from the burden of the law and can now enter into eternal life through His sacrifice. By offering Himself He satisfied the requirement of the law. A perfect life was slain and that perfect life's blood was spilled for our sins. We are free, in Him. As I walk in Him I am delivered from all law and all sin. Amen! What freedom is mine!

As His voice I must not put people under the law, I cannot judge them but rather allow Him to change them. Amen! The Lord is giving me more and more territory to reach and I am loving it. As He pours His love into my heart for them I rejoice at what He is doing on their behalf.

I am somehow connected to a group on Facebook in the remote parts of Australia, perhaps I liked their page. However, yesterday I saw a post that showed He had begun to work in them and I began to rejoice and pray and join in the conversation.

Last night I noticed another group responding to another line and I joined in, knowing He was there. I am now praying for that thread. Who says Facebook is a waste of time, look for Him and take love there. Amen! Don't get preachy! Love people!

Who Rules?

The princes of Judah are like those who move boundary markers, I will pout out my fury on them like water. Hosea 5:10 World leaders of church and state are now all highly visible. When they are not open to consultation or do not listen they make judgements that are judged as foolish by both God and man. In Australia we just celebrated Australia Day and at this time various people are honoured for their contribution to society. Our Prime Minister, Mr Abbott, without consultation, conferred a knighthood on the Queen of England's husband, Phillip. Almost to a person, Australians judged this to be foolish. Even supporters have now distanced themselves. Imagine what it is like when church leaders follow their own emotions or the emotions of their people and change what is acceptable to God. For example, no longer considering adultery something that precludes a man from ministry. We might think we are clever, but actually going with a sinful flow. Where is God in all this? My emotions ar...

Know Your Sword!

So he took Him to Jerusalem, had Him stand on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to Him, "if you are the Son of God, throw Yourself down from here. For it is written: 'He will give His angels orders concerning You, to protect you, they will support You with their hands, so that you will not strike Your foot against a stone.' And Jesus answered him, "it is said: 'do not test The Lord your God." And the Devil had finished every temptation, he departed from Him for a time. Luke 4:9-11 In this third test Satan quoted scripture but Jesus knew His scripture and was not going to be deceived by his enemy twisting the truth. I am amazed at what Satan tempted Jesus with. He did not know Christ. He had succeeded in tempting the first Adam yet he was thwarted in this attempt. Jesus had lived 30 years and been tutored in godliness with contentment, he was prepared, baptised in the Spirit and sold out to the Father's purpose. Every time our enemy comes against us we ...

Little Things Grow

The boy's mother said to Elisha, "as The Lord lives and you yourself live, I will not leave you. So he got up and followed her. 2 Kings 4:30 The Shunamite woman had travelled to Mt Carmel to find Elisha after the death of her son. Although Elisha had sent his servant Gehazi to the boy with his staff the woman had come to find Elisha and was not leaving without him. I like this lady's spirit. I am sure The Lord God Almighty also valued her heart. She had a heart for God and made room for Him in her world. Now, having lost her son she knew what to do: find Elisha and not let him go until he came to restore her son. What made the Shunamite woman believe that Elisha could raise her son? Was it the same faith that made her provide him a place to stay in her home? I believe it was God working in her life. I am grateful for her faith, I can read and be encouraged. We do not know her name yet her story lives in scripture. What a little thing it was to feed Elisha and then provide ...
