Never put God in the box of religion, His ways are not ours.

As I was reading the story about Joseph again, I realized something. Another story came to mind about Abram and Sari. 

 Who, after the covenant with God, their names were changed from Sarai, to Sarah, and Abram to Abraham. 

 Genesis 17:5
"No longer shall your name be called Abram, but your name shall be Abraham; For I have made you a father of many nations.

 Notice the H in their new names, could this now mean that the Holy Spirit is present to help produce nations?

 Just a thought! God is certainly with them now.

 I asked myself, if there had not been an Ismael, then there would not have been Ismaelite's to buy Joseph and take him to Egypt? God's plan?

 God said, His ways are not our ways, His ways are higher. 
Had Sarai, not encouraged Abram to take Hagar her maid, things might have been different. But God!

 Genesis 16:4
So he went in to Hagar, and she conceived.  And when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress became despised in her eyes.

 All the stories in the bible have a connection if we will study and look for them. 
It is fascinating to me, how the Lord works and who He chooses to work through, and why.

 Yes, His ways are far higher than ours. Never put Him in a religious box, He is our great God!!

 Read the linage of Jesus.  Read each name and the story connected to that name. wow! what an eye opener.
Both Jew and Gentiles are in His bloodline, from Mary's side.

 God has given us a blueprint in how He does things and the way that He does things, if we will  apply ourselves to study and seek answers, they are all there, but you must have a seeking mind, in order to find.

 God Bless your day
Jesus loves you

 Love in Jesus
Joy

DOES IT MATTER WHO PREACHES THE GOSPEL, AS LONG AS THE GOSPEL IS PREACHED?

 G O S P E L= GOD'S OWN SON PROVIDED ETERNAL LIFE. This is the true gospel,  the good news!! What are we to conclude about this matter? Paul makes it clear, that whoever preaches Christ and the gospel, it doesn't matter, as long as the Gospel gets preached. Philippians 1:15-16 Some indeed preach Christ even from envy and strife, and some also from goodwill.  The former preach Christ from selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my chains, but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the Gospel. What then? Only that in everyway, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is preached; and in this I rejoice, yes and will rejoice. Beloved, there are all kinds of preachers out there, but their motives are not our business. Those that are preaching for all the wrong reasons, could later repent, and start preaching for the right reasons.  We have seen this through the years. We are to listen for the truth of God's word. I h...

SCIENCE AND THE BIBLE.

Science proves that God's word has it right for sustaining our life. Science says, that we need   four basic elements to sustain life and survive. We need air, water, food, and light. We have it all in Jesus, if we have received Him as our Lord. Science is right. It has proven God's word is true. Acts 17:25 (Paul was speaking about the Unknown God to the men in Athens) Nor is He worshipped with men's hands, as though He needed anything, Since He gives to all life, breath, and all things. We need air in order to breathe. When we receive Jesus we have His breath, breathing through our lungs. When we breathe, we speak the name of God. Just speaking His name, we inhale YAH and exhale WEH.   YHWH means breath of life. Our Jewish brothers and sisters know the name of God means breath of God. This is an interesting fact that we believers need to know. We also need light. John 8:12 Then Jesus spoke to them again, "I am the light of the world; He who follows Me shall not walk...

JESUS IS NOT A GLORIFIED BUTLER, HE IS THE SON OF GOD.

SOME BELIEVERS THINK THAT JESUS IS A GLORIFIED BUTLER.  Whatever they ask for they will have, whether it is right or wrong. JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD!!  YOU ARE NOT TO COMMAND HIM,  YOU ARE TO ASK HIM, HONOR HIM, AND RESPECT HIM AND HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM.  I have heard some believers young in their faith and understanding, say that they have prayed for such a thing and God will give it to them. They are trusting in their faith, not their faith in God. (Works of the flesh, which is witchcraft) Witchcraft is attempting to manipulate your environment or circumstances. (SELF) Works of the flesh. Rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. (1Samuel 15:23) Galatians 5;19-20 NOW THE WORKS OF THE FLESH ARE EVIDENT, WHICH ARE: Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions , jealousies, outburst of wrath , selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, and revelries, ...
