Jewish Interpreters

We’ve had brilliant examples in our textbook describing how scripture can be misinterpreted or misunderstood and believed. “Old testament prophesies concerning the coming of the Messiah reveals that there were two streams of thought. One stream spoke of the deity of Christ, while the other spoke of the humanity of Christ. The Jewish interpreters of the Old Testament could not reconcile these streams. They could not understand how the Messiah could be divine, and yet also human. Thus they erred in understanding and missed the very Messiah that their Scriptures prophesied would come.” They missed the Messiah because they had a pre-conceived idea of how it would happen or what it would look like. We need to be careful when we have faith and believe for something that we don’t plan how God will do it. We pray and believe for it to come to pass and leave the details up to God.

Proof it shall be

Last night someone said God told her and her husband to fast and give an offering. If God gives you a plan/instruction isn’t that proof its going to happen? Here’s the map and the treasure is here. Isn’t it as though God is saying, “If you do this I will bless you?” If God is telling you HOW to win then all that is required is your obedience. Right?

Hope / Faith

I had two people tell me last week, “It’s not good to expect or be so optimistic, you’ll only be disappointed.” WHAT! This bothered me and I realized that people are lowering their level of expectation/hope or having none at all as a means of protection – so they don’t get hurt. How sad this makes me and must make God. What is it that GOD gave you in a dream/desire? Believe and pray for it to come to fruition. If you don’t believe for anything how can He move on your behalf in your life? We are to believe and hope for something, pray and trust God for the outcome. The bible clearly states, “Without faith it is impossible to please God.” “We can” and “We will” need to be on your lips. When GOD is in your life anything is possible through prayer, trusting and believing in Him. GOD is an omnipotent GOD, and He knows how, where, and when to FULFILL HIS WORD to you. All we need is to allow GOD to do HIS PERFICT WILL in us. Keep believing, keep hoping.

Prosper in famine

The industry I’m in brings daily news of the financial woes of this time we are living in. We have to guard ourselves against the negative voices in the earth realm. God wants us to prosper whether there is a famine or not. He will provide for you. Keep believing, keep praying.
