Good morning all. God is good all the time, all the time God is good. TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!!!
A thought - You cannot return if you never leave! Think about this for a moment.
Ivrim in Hebrew means "the one who crosses over". The children of
Israel crossed the Jordan River to Israel, but prior to that they
crossed the Red Sea to exit the land of Egypt.
Before we can
enter NEW territory, we have to leave the old territory. Is this not
what Jesus Christ is about. We have to leave the Old man before we can
become the NEW man in Christ.
God told Abram to leave his
country, NEW name Abraham, and blessings would come his way. So,
leaving, or getting out is or can be a Holy Act. Jesus, the Messiah,
called his disciples to come out of/leave their boats. If we want to
move ahead spiritually, we must step out or leave the physical realm we
tend to hang on to and move to the spiritual. If we want to be in a
better place spiritually we need to leave where we are now and move to
that better spiritual place.
Genesis 12:1-3
The Lord had said to Abram, “Go from your country,
your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you.2 “I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you;I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. 3 I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.”
2 Corinthians 5:
17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!
Ephesians 4:
22 You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; 23 to be made new in the attitude of your minds; 24 and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.
Thoughts: Where do you need to go? What promised land has
God called you to enter? What must you first leave? Is today your day
of Exodus. Love you all.
In Christ's Love and Grace
