5For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.

Prayer: By The Power Of The Comforter, The Holy Ghost, The Spirit Of Truth. Yes, GOD Our/Father, The King Messiah, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS. We Thank You, Father/Yehovah Elohim/Yeshua Ha Mashiach! The Son Of The Living God YHVH Our LORD And Precious Saviour, Jesus Christ, you have been our dwelling Place in all generations, For Reconciliation And Salvation.

Our Father, grant us that our faith should stand in the power of your Holy Spirit. Teach us good judgement and knowledge according to your word of truth and show us the path in which we should go.

Please guide us and open our eyes to your spiritual truths and cause our ears to take heed of what we hear that more may be given us.

We are grateful for the gifts of life and health, and all the wonderful things that you see fit to do for us, and the treasures that you reveal to us out of your law and testimony.

Bless your holy name. We are the people of your pasture and the sheep of your hand, gathered together in your name. We pray these things in Yeshua holy name. Amen.

Living Sacrifices

(1 Corinthians 3:16-18; 1 Corinthians 6:18-20)

1I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.

2And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

3For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.

Please, LORD, Give Us The strength Needed To Hear And Do Each Task Pleasing In Your Sight, And We Thank You in Yeshua's Holy and Righteous Name, Jesus Christ, Amen.

2 Corinthians 5:18 "All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation".

Notice that the reconciliation is "through Christ".

And How did He do it?....as its completed 2000 yrs ago.

A.) = Christ offered His Blood to God, as the "New Covenant".. between Himself and God, on our Behalf.
So, "by His Blood" we are able to be "reconciled to God"......by FAITH and not by works or water baptism.

Reader a Christian is "Blood bought".

"(Our) FAITH is counted by God as RIGHTEOUSNESS"...... , exactly as "Abraham believed God and it was counted to Him as Rightesouness"..
This means that when we give God our Faith in Christ....= God reconciles us to Himself through the shed BLOOD of Jesus that is the Blood Atonement that is the New Covenant.

Most Christians dont realize that they are already become an Ambassador for Christ, they are already "in the Ministry".
They are not understanding that the MOST VITAL Ministry of God, is not found inside the church walls,.. its outside them in the real world where sinners need God's Reconciliation.
Saint, you dont have to worry about "getting sinners to Jesus" in the local church.. if your Pastor- Priest - Minister, is doing His Job, as He'll be be offering the congregation God's offer of Salvaiton, all the time inside the Church Walls.
If He's not doing that all the time, then hes just playing the role of a religious Therapist.
What God needs is not more people with a microphone, wearing a Blue suit... standing behind a pulpit...... God needs us to see the world as His outreach and each of us as His unique and special method to lead the LOST to Jesus.

I haven't spoken to my father for 17 years but wrote several letters. Just wrote him another letter, inspired by the song Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen.

Some years ago my Pastor made an axiomatic observation during a sermon that whenever she hears that family aren't talking, she doesn't need to know the details; it's a lack of grace. You can't get blood from a stone.
