Dear
Brothers & Sisters - Saved and Unsaved
Since no one emailed me to teach additional topics in my
Book, I guess whatever I do will be alright with you. Should you want another topic that confuses
you, or you’d like to understand better – let me know – I’m here for you.
There are 2 Scriptures that many interpret not to it's fullness,
that really drives me nuts…so I thought I’d share them with you.
Have you ever done something, since you became a Christian
– and feared Jesus or Abba would be mad at you?
Peter, wanted to do what Jesus did, but screwed up? Why?
Because he looked at his circumstances and figured he was a goner –
there was no hope for him except for Jesus – and he was right. I’m sure Peter thought “I’m in trouble now”
and probably thought oh well; sinking is what I deserve – BUT…Our Lord doesn’t
let people sink.
Don’t let the world let you think Jesus is letting you
sink. That’s the enemy’s position; to
kill, steal and destroy NOT Abba’s.
Jesus saved Peter when he asked for HELP and He will for you too.
Many Pastors use this scripture for a FAITH Topic; it is,
but there is so much more here – at least to me. I was a sinner who screwed up many times in
my younger years. Including after I became a Christian, because of my lack of
knowledge mostly.
[Matthew 14:28-31 NASB] 28 Peter said to
Him, "Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on
the water." 29 And He said, "Come!" And Peter
got out of the boat, and walked on the water and came toward
Jesus. 30 But seeing the wind, he became frightened, and
beginning to sink, he cried out, "Lord, save me!" 31
Immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and took hold of him, and
said to him, "You of little faith, why did you doubt?
Jesus first of all, gave Peter permission to do what Jesus
was doing – shocking right! No, the
lesson here is that WE CAN DO WHAT JESUS DID.
And we're suppose to walk in His ways, to continue His works on
earth until His return for us. Personally, I have not walked on
water – yet! But then, I’ve had no need
to either. My second point is that the
first thing Jesus did was to save Peter, and probably placed him in the boat
first to get Peter’s attention, so He could ask him “why did you doubt?” Jesus didn’t scream, rant or rave at Peter,
because Peter did walk on the water for a minute or two. He knew Peter looked at the storm, rather
than at Jesus, and that’s why He started to sink.
But always remember 1st, Jesus saved Peter, and
then told him what he did wrong. He does
the same for us when we goof.
My 2nd verse is when Jesus asks His disciples
“gee guys who do the people say that I am”? [I paraphrased that, could you
tell?
[Matthew 16:13-18 NASB] 13 “Now when Jesus
came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, He was asking His disciples,
"Who do people say that the Son of Man is?" 14 And they
said, "Some say John the Baptist; and others, Elijah;
but still others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets."
15 He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?" 16
Simon Peter answered, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."
17 And Jesus said to him, "Blessed are you, Simon
Barjona, because flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but My Father
who is in heaven. 18 "I also say to you that you are
Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church; and the gates of Hades
will not overpower it.”
The part that gets me here is many take this wording “upon
this rock [Peter?] I will build My church” was Jesus saying upon
Peter, who’s name means rock? Or did
Jesus mean, the only way Peter could give the right answer was because Abba
[Spiritually] gave Peter the answer.
Therefore, the answers from Abba or the Holy Spirit will give us the
answers to what the Bible and Jesus say in the Word. And upon our understanding the Church will be
built? I guess you already figured out
it’s our understanding, not Peter, Jesus was talking about. Jesus only told them not to reveal Him as the
Christ [meaning Messiah] because until He died was buried and arose again – He
wouldn’t fulfill His place as our Savior.
Do you realize; 7 times Jesus bled for you with a purpose? On His head; the crown of thorns so we could
have the mind of Christ. His back, anyone
who died on a tree/wood, was cursed, but with His blood covering the wood –
Jesus broke the curse Eve and Adam created on all future children. His 2-hands, so we no longer have to work for
our salvation, it’s a free gift now. And
his 2-feet; like the hands, we can walk in and with Abba now, boldly into His
Throne Room as the Word says. When Jesus
bled on the back, it was to remove any curses and this covered the past, their
present and our future.
When you take communion, were told to “Keep Him in
remembrance” don’t remember Jesus on the cross, but what He accomplished for
ALL – if you chose and claim/receive it for yourself.
Blessings to all who read the blog and keep the Faith being
AMAZED of how much more He has for you, as you seek new goals for
2018. I promise you, there is so much more the Holy Spirit wants to
reveal to you thru His Word. I pray for ALL of you nightly.
Here’s a prophecy for 2018 that you may like – I do! It’s
only 10 minutes enjoy and REJOICE!
