8/21/2015 ESTER CONTINUED, COMMENTARY

PURIM, 14 & 15 OF ADAR ESTABLISHED

TWO DAYS OF CELEBRATION FOR THE JEWS

WRITTEN AND SENT OUT BY MORDECAI THE JEW

PURIM WAS TO BE CELEBRATED BY ALL JEWS THROUGHOUT THEIR GENERATIONS

1. On the twelth month December, Adar 14 & 15 Purim was an established days of celebration.

2. The Jews won their freedom from death by rising up and defending themselves under the order of the King.

3. Ester 9:20-22 And Mordecai wrote these things and sent letters to all the Jews, near and far, Who were in all the Provinces of the King Ahasuerus, to establish among them that they should celebrate yearly the 14 and 15 days of the month of Adar, on the days on which the Jews had rest from their enemies, as the month that was turned from sorrow to joy for them, and from morning to a holiday; that they sould make them days of feasting and joy, to sending presents to one another, and gifts to the poor. So the Jews accepted the Custom as Mordecai had written them and unto this day PURIM are two day of celebration each year for the Jews.

2.The King showed off his glory and riches of his kingdom for 6 months.

3. After the 6 months show off., he gave a seven day feast in the court garden.

ONE THE SEVENTH DAY OF THE FEAST THE KING WAS GOING TO SHOW OFF THE BEAUTY OF HIS WIFE, VASH-TI

1. Vashti, the King's wife would not respond to his call.

2. All the wise men were called in to the Kings to search an answer for this problem.

3. They could not have their wives rejecting them so they made a law.

5. Ester was called and chosen by the King to be Queen instead of Vashti.

6. Vashti did not reveal her identity she was a Jew.

THE PLAN FOR ALIENATION OF THE JEWS 

1. Hanan who was an Agagite who the King permoted to a position where all his servants has to bow to him.

2. Mordecai the Jew would not bow to Haman and because of this Haman had a plan to kill all Jews.

3. 1Sam. 15:3 Samuel spoke to King Saul and said, now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay bothe man and worman, infant and suckling, ox, sheep, camel and ass. If Saul had obeyed the Lord;  Haman would not have been living.
4.Haman's evil report on the Jews to the King got him the authority to have all the Jews killed in all 127 Provences of Babylon. Wrote the degree and sealed it with the King's ring.

HAMAN'S PLAN FOR DESTRUCTION OF THE JEWS

WHAT HANMAN DID NOT KNOW.

WHAT SATAN DOES NOT KNOW.

1. Haman did not know that was a little Jewesh Queen that sat beside the King.

2. Haman did not know that just the man he wanted to kill held the authority of God in his faith.

3. Haman did not know that the God of Heaven would fight for His people Israel.

4  Haman did not know the Jews were just serving time in captivity because of their disobedience.

5. All of this makes it a bad day for those who are not aware of whom they are trying to destroy today.

6. They will eventually come to the same fate of Haman.

ESTER 4:15B........For who knows whether you have come to the Kingdom for such a time as this?

THE VERDICT WAS CHANGED

12. Another decree was made of the King for a diliverance for God's people, but this time they would have the authority to stand up against their enemy and defeat them and clain their victory.

                                                                                                                                                                                   

ONE YEAR BIBLE READING, 8/18/15

NEW TESTMENT READING

1 CORENTHIANS 11:1-34

Paul is teaching the Church in two areas of doctrine.

1. The divine order of God's aurthority.

2. The proper way to take the Lord's Supper.

Co. 11:3 The head or authority of Christ is God.

               The hear of man is Christ.

               The head of woman is man.

God is a God of divine order and he has set a order for man to follow, if a man will obey God's order, he will prosper and be blessed if not he will have problems which man will not be able to solve without going back to God's order. A. Christ is man's covering and man cannot properly address God unless he is covered with Christ or the ANOINTING, which means Christ. The woman must be covered and her covering is man and she is not properly covered unless she is in subjection to man. She should have hair on her head, Paul does not specify how long her hair should be but long enough to cover her hear. She must not preach or prophesy without a covering. Man is not required to have a natural covering because the ANOINTING OF THE CHRIST is his covering and he cannot properly preach or minister without this covering of Christ.

2 THE PROPER WAY OF RECEIVING THE LORD'S SUPPER OR COMMUNION.

This  ordinance was a reminder of the death of our Lord Jesus Christ until he returns, also it takes us back to the very first Passover Feast that Israel partook of the night they were delivered from Egypt's bondage and started them towards the Promise Land  that God had given them by Promise. The bread represented the body of Jesus and the wine was a type of the blood of Jesus. The broken and bruised body of Jesus prepared a new and living way for us to enter into the presence of God and the blood was give in the cup of wine which represented the new covenant of the New Testament. If you can receive it every new testament promise that was given is included in the CUP OF WINE and in the broken bruised body of Jesus secures the healing of our body. 

Now Paul states that if we partake of the bread and cup unworthily not discerning the body of Jesus we are subject to sickness, weakness or even an early death, so before to partake of the communion we need to pray and recognize the reason for taking the Lord's Supper and to be able to discern His Body. (My concept) to discern the body of Christ is not only to understand and believe that by Jesus body we were delivered from sin and sickness and death but we must also discern the many membered body, who make of the body of Christ in the Church.)

To those who visit our blog, we will alternate from day the recordings of ONE YEAR BIBLE READING from the New Testament to the Old Testament.

EARLY MORNING MANNA

John 14:6

6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

John 17:17

17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.

NOTE: Let’s define TRUTH, In John 14:6 Jesus says I am TRUTH that is bottom line that alone defines truth, you may find many descriptive words but you will not find one as pure and correct as, Jesus is TRUTH. Now let’s go to John 17:17 sanctify them through TRUTH, THY WORD IS TRUTH. Jesus and his word is synonymous, the very same, so, Jesus is truth and his word is truth. Now we will be sharing with you for the next few days just how important truth is to all of us in the day we live, hope you can visit EARLY MORNING MANNA each day to explore with us, the word TRUTH. Amen

Truth is the first piece of armor required for a Christian Soldier, the belt or the girdle hold the flowing robe tight around the man so he is free for warfare.

EARLY MORNING MANNA
Psalms 145:8-13
8 The LORD is gracious, and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy.
9 The LORD is good to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works.
10 All thy works shall praise thee, O LORD; and thy saints shall bless thee.
11 They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom, and talk of thy power;
12 To make known to the sons of men his mighty acts, and the glorious majesty of his kingdom.
13 Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and thy dominion endureth throughout all generations.
NOTE: A little lengthy but I could not stop copping His Word today, it describes the Lord so well that I felt like we had to see all of this together. I am awe stricken as I read this and share it with my friends, the greatness of our God and the love and compassion He has for us, please try as I did to receive this picture of his great Love. Amen

My First Message----from Fields of Grace

THE CHURCH HAD BEEN BLOWN OFF ITS BLOCKS

I shall always remember my first message, that stormy night when we reached the church we discovered that a wind storm had came through that day and blown the building off it blocks, to most people that would have presented a major problem but not to this group, we marched in prayed, sang our songs and I preached, preached in a building that one side was on the ground while the other side was still on its foundation, up in the air. That made no difference to me, I took my text out of Exodus 12 where Moses delivered Israel out of Egypt, stretched forth his rod out over the Red Sea and it rolled back its waters for Israel to cross. Faith was running high in those days and not many things could stop us and few could hinder us.

John 17:3
3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.
NOTE: Think with me just a moment and then give praise to Father God, THIS IS LIFE ETERNAL. To know the only true God and Jesus Christ is life eternal. The Lord has made the way to life eternal so clear that none need not miss it, just come to know God and His son Jesus and you will live forever. Amen

ISAIAH 43:2

2 When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.

God has us in mind when He mad these promises so don't let them slip!
