Perfect Agreement with The LAW+ of TRUTH





ADVENT MEDITATIONS # 3
2016

JESUS CHRIST / Y'SHU+ the M'SHIKHA+
The Law Incarnate

... versus …

[ "Now I'm saved; I can sin all I want to." ]

GOD FORBID!

+  +  +

But the hour cometh,
( is bringing itself about )
and now is,
when the true worshippers
shall worship The FATHER

in SPIRIT and in TRUTH+:

for The FATHER seeketh such
to worship HIM+.

The Words of Our LORD
John 4:23


+  +  +
These Words of Life were spoken by Our LORD to the woman at the well in Samaria. These Words were not given in the FORM of a law, but they are a LAW of GOD , nonetheless.

How do we KNOW
that John 4:23

is a LAW of GOD ?

We know and are assured that John 4:23 is a Divine Law ... because the LAWS of GOD cannot be broken.   That is, the person who goes against that law will be broken instead, for the Divine Law STANDS; it is not able to be diminished.  

That person will be the person onto whom the Divine Rock of Truth crushes and grinds to powder ... unless he repents and applies The TRUTH+ to his own heart. 

JESUS /Y'SHU+ saith unto them,

Did ye never read in the scriptures,

The STONE+
which the builders rejected,
the SAME+
is become
the Head of the corner:

this is the LORD'S doing,
and it is marvellous in our eyes ?

Therefore say I+ unto you,
The Kingdom of GOD
shall be taken from you,
and given to a nation
bringing forth the fruits thereof..

And
whosoever shall fall
on This STONE+
shall be broken:

but on whomsoever
IT+ ( The STONE+ ) shall fall,
IT+ will grind him
to powder.

The Words of Our LORD,
Matthew 21:42-44

Every single person is held to a truly DIVINE LAW, regardless of status, understanding, or even agreement with it.  A " Law of GOD" applies without exception to every person on this earth.

Thus, true worshippers MUST INDEED worship a certain way:  in SPIRIT and in TRUTH+.  No other way will be accepted … and that is a Divine Law of The ELOHIM of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

No excuses are accepted. Nothing else works. That is when we KNOW we have encountered an ACTUAL Law of GOD and not a law of man. 

DIVINE Laws are immutable --- i.e., unchangeable ---  as well as applicable to every single person. HE requires worship in SPIRIT and in TRUTH+.

THAT IS HIS LAW.

The TRUTH+ is given in JESUS / Y'SHU+. John 1:17


JESUS / Y'SHU+ saith unto him,

I+ am The WAY,
The TRUTH+,
and the LIFE:

no man
cometh unto The FATHER,
but by ME+.

The Words of Our LORD,
John 14;6.

+  +  +
Let us pray:

Dear Heavenly FATHER,

Hallowed be Thy Name, O HOLY FATHER, and the Name of Thy HOLY SON+ , The LORD JESUS / Y'SHU+ the M'SHIKHA+. 

O Righteous Law-Giver, I confess as sin the times and areas in my life I have pushed away Thy Truth+. I know that THOU dost require TRUTH+ in the inner man.

Help me not to grieve Thy HOLY SPIRIT with guile, thinking that THOU would be satisfied with my half-hearted obediences. Forgive me for my reluctance to obey THEE, for not being quick-of-ear to hear Thy Words of correction to me. 

Make me as pure of heart as Thy SON+... and then I shall see GOD.

This I pray in the Name of Our LORD JESUS CHRIST / Y'SHU+ the M'SHIKHA+, the Law INCARNATE+. Amen.


+  +  +

In the Name of The FATHER,
Who created us;
And HIS HOLY SON+ JESUS / Y'SHU+ ,
Who+ saves us;
And The Blessed HOLY SPIRIT / RUACH ha KADOSH,
Who sanctifies us.

NOT to Destroy But to FULFILL ...







ADVENT MEDITATIONS # 2
2016

JESUS CHRIST / Y'SHU+ the M'SHIKHA+
The Law Incarnate

… versus …

[ "Now I'm saved; I can sin all I want to." ]

GOD FORBID!


+  +  +
Think not that I+ am come
to destroy The Law, 
or the Prophets:
I+ am not come 
to destroy,
BUT TO FULFILL.
+
Words of Our LORD 
Matthew 5:17

+  +  +
Our LORD JESUS / Y'SHU+ spoke clearly and plainly about His+ Mission. After His+ great trial of temptation by the devil in chapter 4 of Matthew, HE+ emerged victoriously to establish the Kingdom of GOD on earth.


Leaving Nazareth, HE+ moved beside the Sea of Galilee, to Capernaum in the districts of Zebulan and Naphtali ( Mt. 4:13-17), thus FULFILLING Isaiah 9:1-2.


Nevertheless
the dimness shall not be 
such as was in her vexation,
when at the first 
HE lightly afflicted
the land of Zebulun 
and the land of Naphtali,
and afterward 
did more grievously afflict her
by the way of the sea,
beyond Jordan, 
in Galilee of the nations.


The people that walked in darkness have seen a Great LIGHT+:
they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death,
upon them hath The LIGHT+ shined.
Isaiah 9: 1-2

The LORD JESUS / Y'SHU+ the M'SHIKHA+ preached repentance and called His+ first disciples to Him+ . 

HE+ healed the sick and great crowds from the surrounding areas flocked to HIM+.  HE began teaching them in the Sermon on the Mount, chapter 5.

Think not 
that I+ am come
to destroy The Law, 
or the Prophets:
I+ am not come 
to destroy,
BUT TO FULFILL.
Mt. 5:17

The LORD honored The LAW. 

HE+ spoke often of its abuses and mis-applications by men, but The Law itself HE+ honored. It revealed His+ own Divine Character and the character of His+ Heavenly FATHER. HE+ was in agreement with it.

In fact,
The LORD JESUS / 
Y'SHU+ the M'SHIKHA+
 expanded   
The Law !


As the MESSIAH / M'SHIKHA, HE+ explained how the keeping of The Law was to GO DEEPER than the Jews' observance of it.


The Law was to be kept in the MOTIVES and inside the hidden places of the heart, where no-one could see ... except GOD. 


HE+ explained this when teaching about lusting after another was ALREADY an act of adultery in the eyes of GOD.


GOD'S standard of right vs wrong did not CHANGE at the advent of CHRIST / the M'SHIKHA+. 


The LORD JESUS 
/ Y'SHU+ the M'SHIKHA+ 
came
to restore GOD'S Law
... in Spirit, this time,  
and in Truth.
+  +  +


Let us pray:


Dear Heavenly FATHER,


Hallowed be Thy Name, O HOLY FATHER, and the Name of Thy HOLY SON+ , The LORD JESUS / Y'SHU+ the M'SHIKHA+. 


I thank THEE+ for Thy Law, for giving forth the Divine Standard of Right, for teaching me what is wrong, and that Thy Standard does not change.


I confess , O LORD, that I am ashamed for the times I have hid sins in my heart, thinking no-one could see me. 


Please forgive me and cleanse me by the BLOOD of Thy Precious SON+. Make me pure through-out. Amen. 
+  +  +


In the Name of 
The FATHER,
Who created us;
And HIS HOLY SON+
JESUS / Y'SHU+ ,
Who+ saves us;

And The 
Blessed HOLY SPIRIT 
/ RUACH ha KADOSH,
Who sanctifies us.
