THE HOLY SPIRIT HAS SEALED US FOR THE DAY OF REDEMPTION.

We have an inheritance in Christ Jesus our Lord, because we have been sealed by he Holy Spirit.

A seal is a stamp of authority that we belong to God. The owner of that seal will open it one day.

Jesus Christ our Lord, He is the owner.

Ephesians 1:13

In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise.

This is proof of the Holy Spirit's presence in your life. 

He is working in your heart to produce the desire for repentance when needed and to develop the fruit of the Spirit.

Galatians 5:22-23

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness,  faithfulness, gentleness, self -control, Against such there is no law.

When we have a passion for prayer, praise,  and want to show God's love to people, this is evidence that the Holy Spirit has renewed our heart and that we are sealed by Him.

We can be confident and live out our lives in joy, and peace.

Notice LOVE comes first.

Beloved, there are so many wonderful things awaiting us.  Things we could never imagine when we see Jesus face to face. It is beyond anything here on this earth.

The time will come when the tribes of Israel will receive the seal of God.

Revelation 7:2-3-4

Then I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God.  And He cried with a loud voice to the four angels to whom it was granted to harm the earth and the sea.

Saying, do not harm the earth, the sea, or the trees till we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads. And I heard the number of those who were sealed.  one hundred and forty-four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel were sealed.

These are the tribes of Israel that were sealed and what their names mean.

JUDAH- means PRAISE.

REUBEN- means BEHOLD A SON.

GAD-means FORTUNE- GOOD

ASHER- means -HAPPY AND JOYFUL.

NAPHTALI-means MY RESTING PLACE.

MANASSEH-means -ONE WHO FORGETS.

SIMEION- means- HEARING.

LEVI-means JOINED.

ISSACHAR-means MAN ON FIRE.

ZEBULUN- means HABITATION.

JOSEPH- means MAY GOD ADD.

BENJAMIN means SON OF MY RIGHT HAND.

Ephraim and Dan were not included as they became the center of idolatry.

Beloved, every Pastor or leader should have someone on staff that fits those names.

Church would be a place that people would run to, feeling loved and safe and accepted.

Remember you are sealed also. 

A seal being something to be opened and the contents read.  Our Almighty God will read the contents one day. No one but God can open those seals.

This should give us confidence in all we know of our Lord.

Ephesians 4:29-32

Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers.

Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice.

And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as god in Christ forgave you.

Beloved, remember you are already sealed by the Holy Spirit of promise.

When you read the stories of these different tribes of Israel, remember their names and you will have a better understanding of their life and who they are.

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.

WHY DOES GOD ALLOW OFFENCES TO COME INTO OUR LIFE? PART 2

How do we deal with offences that we have experienced? Proverbs 17:9 He who covers a transgression seeks love, but he who repeats a matter separates friends. So, how do we deal with an offence, we cover it with the grace of God and love. Just as God does for us when we are  displeasing to Him. When we cover an offence with God's grace we overlook it and choose to give something of value to ourselves, Peace and rest for our soul. Beloved, our security is in Jesus not in other peoples opinions of us. We must die daily to self, as self is our worst enemy.  Stop trying to measure up to others.  Your journey is about you and Jesus.  Others journey is different from yours.  There are hidden things in their life that only God knows about. 2 Corinthians 10:12 For we dare not class ourselves or compare ourselves with those who who commend themselves.   But they, measuring themselves, by themselves and comparing themselves among themselves are not wise. If an offence comes, pass it on to Jes

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 i
