Topic: The Great Love of Christ Towards Us

Praise and Worship: Today's the Christmas service and we all sang Christmas carols. The stage was an awesome sight with wonderful setup and decorative props. As I happened to sit in the front few rows, I managed to snap some pictures (kind of secretly)! Will be sharing some wonderful pictures in this blog entry :)

Praise and Worship commences!

 Song item by three teenagers with wonderful voices.
 Here comes Pastor Prince on stage.


Christ is born King of the Jews. He did not come as a prince. This King loves children. We live in a fallen world. In the midst of these, God gave us His Son.
Isaiah prophesied many things but one thing he prophesied, he said in Isaiah 9:6.
A Child is born and unto us a Son is given.
Pastor goes on to sing this verse as a song.

Pastor went on to sing another song titled "Love Has Come Down":
================================================
By Galilee Emmanuel walked
And to the broken and humble He talked
In streams of beauty men could not see
Angels of Glory watched over thee
Love had come down
Love had come down
Oh the joyful sound
Love had come down

Oh gentle Saviour, so kind and good
We took and nailed you to a cross of wood
You prayed for me, I pierced your side
You took a thief to Paradise
Love had come down
Love had come down
Tell it all around
Love had come down

You went away back to your home
But you had said we would never be alone
You sent your Spirit down from above
Your gentle Spirit, Spirit of love
Love has come down
Love has come down
Oh the joyful sound
Love has come down
================================================

In an instant, God can heal you if the doctors tell you that you have a chronic condition. God is not bounded by time and space. Men may have good intent but men is limited. In God there are no limits.
John 17:24
Verse 24: "... for You loved Me before the foundation of the world."
Long before you and I were there, Christ was already there.

The bible tells us that God has emotions. God loves men. How much you hate the cancer is how much you love the child. God loves you and He can kill the sinner and the sin. He can create another creation but He did not because He loves you deeply.
Everything after creation has fallen. That is why we need to be born again.

John 3:16-17
Verse 16: Don't you love the word "so"? This verse is actually for Nicodemus. It's not just for the Jewish people. It's for the world. He was sent as a physical person to die for the world. If man can save himself, God would have said "Do you best."
The name Jesus means Saviour. He will save you from you sins, guilt, situation and even in your temporal needs. He does not know but to save. He cannot but save.

Majority of the stars in the universe are bigger than earth. Our earth can fit into one star and still have lots of room. This is not exaggerated but calculated.
God treats everyone unique. That is why everyone don't have the same fingerprint. He loved us long before He sent Jesus.

Love comes with a price. God literally came to our level and kissed us, sent His Son to die for us.

Apostle Paul says if God is for you, what can be against you?! If He is for you, what is your enemy? The question is, we have this doubt. Majority of mankind have bad thoughts about God. It take preachers to preach the truth. The bible tells us God is for us. It must be a man for a man. Sin starts in the blood. When a person dies, the first place that decays is the blood. That's where destruction begins. And hence, there is a need for virgin birth. A fetus does not receive blood from the mother. All the blood comes from the Father. It is royal blood, divine blood. That blood was shed at Calvary and one drop shook the earth. God was for us even when men were against Him. God sent His Son unasked.

Why didn't God just let us perish?
Romans 8:31-32
Verse 32: This is called divine logic. When God reasons, it is always for us. The Son is the best of heaven. If God gave you a gift that is eternal, then what temporal need is? God wants you to have confidence in His love. The devil will always come to you to make you lose confidence. If God does the greater, will He not give us the lesser? Clothings, material needs are deemed as the lesser. Do you think He will not give it to you?

Matthew 6:30
Verse 30: Jesus said, if God takes care of grass, will He not much more clothe you? What is grass to God? Notice the "much more"?
Matthew 7:11
Verse 11: Jesus said, if you being evil, knows how to give good things to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!
These are examples of divine logic.

Romans 8:31-32
Verse 32: God that spared not His own Son. Is this the Son whom God loved? You might think you are a face in the crowd but Jesus loves you. This verse tells us that He cares for our temporal needs. You'll never know how much God loves you until you know how much God loves His Son.

"... for us all," God is for you. Knowing God's love is so vital. God must really love us to sacrifice His Son.

".. shall.." Shall is future tense. Both now and forever and ever, God will supply freely all things that you'll ever need. How shall He not, the divine logic.

"... freely..." Freely means you cannot merit it, cannot buy it and cannot earn it. God cannot give it to you freely if you can earn it. It becomes a necessity. It is under-served and unmerited.

Do you know why you cannot buy God's blessings?
You are far too poor to buy His blessings and;
God is far too rich to sell you His blessings.

Friend, it's a simple message. When God says it, believe it. Judge God's love by His Son, His sacrifice on the cross. Prince Ernest will never forget his mother's love demonstrated by her kiss.

Do you know God raise Jesus from the dead? Death comes from sin. But Jesus took our sins. The moment the price is paid, He died. He gave Himself to death because the wages of sin is death. Death is behind Him and so He rose from the dead. There is no fear of death for believers. To believers is just a sleep. If there is one speck of sin in you, Jesus cannot be on the Father's right hand today seated. He is there because He has removed every sin and not even one speck of sin is on you.

If you were to die tonight, do you have a shadow of a doubt you will have an eternal home in heaven. We are not talking about having plenty of money. We are talking about the abundant life. Christ is my Lord, God I believe you are a good God and is for me. If that is you, say, as your word declares, God dies for sinners. I qualify all of your blessings and I believe you love me. You sent your Son to die for me. I thank you for the blood you shed cleanse me from all my sins. You raised Jesus from death and I believe I am highly favored, deeply loved. Amen.

 We ended the service with additional great Christmas songs!

16 November 2014

Praise and Worship:

- Awesome God


- In you I live


- In Jesus Name


- Refuge (New song)
We sang a new song today. Not sure if this is the first time we're singing it cause it's my first time hearing it. Didn't manage to locate the lyrics on the Internet. In fact, I've also forgotten the tunes to this song. Maybe at a later stage we should have something on this song!


Topic: How God Sees The Tenth

Pastor shared that he has started to see snippets of how 2015 would look like. He shared that there will be a financial earthquake this coming year. There will be lots of shaking in the banking and economy of the world. Just last month, Jesus began to speak to Pastor for our church to be ready for this coming year. Every time that the world experiences a downturn, God's children will experience an upturn.

There is a teaching about rest for Israel. Israel's new year sometimes is in September or October. Lately since 2001 and 2002, there was a great financial crisis. The next financial crisis was in 2008. And that year was Israel's year of rest. As it looked like a trend, Israel is expecting another financial earthquake in the coming year.

One thing for sure, nothing catches God by surprise.
In the bible, the Egyptians gave Israel their gold and silver due to the back pay towards the Israelis. At that time, Egypt was in a financial crisis. So it depends on whether you want to be an Israeli or a Egyptian today. If you are an Israeli, now is the best time to receive your blessings.

Hebrews 5:1
Verse 1: Pastor believes that Apostle Paul is the author of Hebrews though his name is hidden in the book of Hebrews. Paul wrote about the high priest.
The high priest is not a prophet. The function of the high priest is, He receives gifts and offers to God. We know there is no more sacrifices but we still bring gifts to God; our praise and worship. God is well pleased when you are generous. God says that in Hebrews 13.
If the priest is good, God receives the whole nation. The high priest is the one who receives the people's prayer.

Prayer puts God in the place as Giver. It puts us in place as the Receiver.
When we pray, we are activating our covenant. We need to pray for our child, not just expecting he will grow up blessed.

Hebrews 5:10-11
Verse 10: This verse is quoted from Psalm 110:4. Melchizedek is only mentioned three times in the bible; the books of Genesis, Psalm and Hebrews.
Verse 11: We have much to say about Melchizedek but you have become dull of hearing. If you can understand the truth of Melchizedek, you have matured as a believer. Dull of hearing means they are not open hearing more.
Melchizedek brought bread and wine, the communion. Jesus is our Melchizedek. We are blessed with the blessings of Abraham. Salvation is literally coming to God with nothing in your hands.

Abraham defeated four armies and came back with all the gold and silver. Melchizedek brought bread and wine to strengthen him. Abraham then gave one tenth to Melchizedek.
God is always looking out to bless you. Rich people doesn't mean they are generous. Wealth and generosity does not go together. 

Luke 11:42
Verse 42: Jesus says to the Pharisees to tithe. He says have some justice to the poor. Focus on the love of God but don't leave tithing undone.

Melchizedek and Abraham were not under the law, so why did they give a tenth of their money?
Hebrews 7:1-10
Verse 1: King of Salem is King of Peace.
Verse 4: What in the world has the tenth got to do to declare how great the person is?
God puts Melchizedek in the prime books. 

If love is there, you would like to respond or serve. Some believers may become lazy to the point they do not want to go to church, or even if they are in church, they do not sing or raise their hands believing that it is not through their own works. It is true but they do not know we still need to respond. Just imagine your wife kisses you and you stand there like a wooden block. You need to respond isn't it.

The last time Pastor preached a sermon of tithing was six years ago. Some Pastors preach on that every month but not in our church. For the Miracle Seed Sundays, only four times were conducted. Pastor shared that the church has not ever received a cheque of one million for any Miracle Seed Sundays. How the church is only left with 10% today, no one knows how it's done. It has to be God.

The way we demonstrate how great God is is through the tithe. It's part of your worship. We all have to learn how to worship. Worship is literally coming close to kiss God. A deep intimacy with God, your spirit combines with God and a birth is born.

Verse 5: Now this is talking about the Levitical priesthood. We are no more under the tithing of the law. We are under the tithing of Melchizedek. Pastor ever hear a preacher shared that Abraham tithed only one time. That's funny because would we want every paragraph in the bible saying that Abraham tithed? Abraham brought Issac up the mountain and when God spared him, he was so appreciative that he tithed that month. Yes?

Verse 8: Bread and wine is to proclaim the death of Jesus Christ. Tithing is to proclaim that Jesus lives and keeps on living. He died and rose again. He asked for one tenth and with that tithe, take some time to remember the love of God. 

Genesis 45:26-28
Verse 26: Jacob's heart stood still. He does not believe that his son Joseph is alive. Today, Israel believes that Jesus is a historical figure and He is dead. One day, they gonna look and say, "My God, Jesus is alive."
Verse 27: In other words, faith comes by hearing.
Verse 28: Then Israel believed.
The truth of the tithe will make unbelievers see the goodness in your life. Through the mercy shown to us, it will provoke the Israel to jealousy. It will provoke them when they see the wagons of Christ in your life. When Israel sees us, they know Jesus is alive.

Back to Hebrews 7,
Verse 9: Levi was the great grandson of Abraham. Levi receives tithe from his brethens, paid tithes. They are trying to compare tithing to Melchizedek and through Abraham. Tithing blesses you all the way down to your generations.

Even George Muller says we should give our tenth to God.
James L. Kraft, head of Krate Cheese says the only investment he has made is the consistently increasing dividends to the Lord.

Revelation 22:3
Verse 3: The things you touch in this world is cursed. Everything that comes from the ground in cursed. Even money, it is made from the bark of the trees. And trees come from the earth, which is cursed.
God never says He will curse you in Malachi. In the very same chapter, he is saying about tithing. God's storehouse today is the church. God says bring your tithes to the storehouse. The first mention of "Windows of Heaven" was during the Noah's flood. It flooded the earth forty days and fourth nights. So today if you tithe, God pours down blessings to you for forty days and forty nights.

Romans 11:16
Verse 16: God is saying all things are cursed. Set apart a tenth to Him and it will become blessed.

Genesis 24:10
Verse 10: The servants took ten of his master's camel, and all his master's goods were in his hand. What does "all" means here? It means God regards ten as all (a whole).
The world is cursed, put your worship to the priest. The priest is not your pastor.

1 Corinthians 15:23
Verse 23: When you take the communion, it reminds God of His beloved son. Every time there is an offering, God is reminded.

Why are there ten commandments? To God, that is all of God's commandments. With one commandment that is broken, all is broken. That is the logic of the tenth. When you bring a tenth to Him, He blesses all (every part) of you.

But Pastor, why does God likes to be reminded on the death of Christ?
It is like when you are under the weather or feeling down, watching a video of your child will always bring a smile to your face.

When Joseph sent the wagons, the command came from Pharaoh.
Genesis 45:19-20
Verse 19: The command is given.
Verse 23: He sent ten donkeys, ten female donkeys,, grain, bread and food. The good things of Egypt. So why ten? Why not fifty donkeys? Ten represents the whole.

Ezekiel 44:1-3
Verse 2: Jesus rode a donkey and went through the gate of the sanctuary. Jesus went in to Jerusalem via the eastern gate. Who would have thought this will be predicted.
Verse 3: This chapter talks about the future temple. It never ends. Holy communion will end only when Jesus comes in the second coming.

Genesis 28:20-22
Verse 22: Jacob said to God that of all that He gives him, he will surely give a tenth to God.
Refer to Genesis 31:13, God did not forget the vow made to Him. God says He is the God of Bethel and He remembered the vow Jacob made to Him.

In closing, Pastor shared a great man of God,

John D. Rockefeller:
This man would have worth $336 billion today. He was a baptist. He said he tithed every dollar God has entrusted to him. He was a oil magnet. Oil wasn't popular back then but God gave him the idea. The tithe is a picture of Jesus Christ and is an ongoing thing. No matter what happens to the world's economy, you will not be shaken. Don't have pride in your tithing, instead have a love for Christ. Under the new covenant, you don't have to tithe, you get to tithe.

November 2014 Updates!

It has been almost three months since I last stepped into church. How I missed church to be honest. I must say, I'm currently in the most eventful time of my life.

Denise and I have a new addition to the family and God has blessed us with heaven's best by bestowing to us an angel, Sarah Zoe. We decided to give Sarah a middle name, because the word Zoe comes from John 10:10. 

Jesus says, "I come that they might have life, and that they might have [it] more abundantly." In other words, this Zoe life is the God-kind of life, in abundance. Similarly, it acts as a reminder to me that God has given me this God-life after going through an uneventful accident mid of this year, everytime when I look at Sarah.

Sarah is now 12 weeks old and it's such an enjoying process to watch her grow bit by bit each day. Maybe I'm Christ-bias, but we do see that she's set apart from the world, the parenting process is easy-going and taking care of her is not mind-wrenching as most makes it out to be. Like you would remind me, it is Christ who is doing the work for us.

Am reminded of a verse, Jesus says, "For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." in Matthew 11:30. A beautiful promise of Jesus in our lives!

Creation is such an amazing thing when I witnessed how she came into this world on Day 1. I truly believe it surpasses one's imagination when a non-believer invites Christ into their life. It should be an explosion in the unseen realm.
Quoted from 2 Corinthians 5:17, "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!" Time to embrace the new and enjoy every little moment, like us!

Sharing some pictures of Sarah Zoe with my beloved readers.. hope you enjoy the pictures!

 Sarah says, "Hello!"

Sarah smiles at you!

Sarah poses!

Blog entry titled "16 November 2014" will be up soon!

27 July 2014

Praise and Worship: Today worship was led by Bob Fitts. We sang some oldies and it felt like I was in Praise Kids in my younger days. Here you go!

Topic: Continuation of Psalm 91 series

We will be continuing the series for Psalm 91.
Yesterday, Pastor saw the news reporting the Ebola virus hitting Nigeria. Today, it is known to be a deadly virus that spreads very fast.

What you should not suffer is because of Jesus who died for you.

Jesus tells us to leap for joy and tells us how great is our reward in heaven. It literally means our rewards are made in heaven.

Job 5:19
Verse 19: Sometimes we get into trouble and we ask where is the protection. Don't ask where is the protection. God wants to deliver you out of the trouble. Pastor believes that we are coming into the seventh day.

Psalm 91
Verse 1: Most High (Elyon). Every time Elyon is mentioned, it talks about the Lord's supper.
Verse 3: The snare of the fowler is a picture of a trapped bird. It means God will deliver you from the traps from the devil. Pestilence means open pestilence, like SARS.
Verse 4: Now we see God as a picture of an eagle. Sheild is a large shield that covers your front. Buckler is a shield that goes around a person. To live under Psalm 91, you need to be under grace. Grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. Grace and truth is one. 

Deuteronomy 32:11-13
Verse 11: This is a song of Moses before he passed on.

Exodus 20 is where you find the ten commandments.

Exodus 18:3-4
Verse 4: God wanted them to keep the covenant of Abraham. God is saying from Egypt to Mount Sinai is the period of eagles' wings. God will bear you on eagles' wings. This period of pure grace is now permanent for us.

God wants you to come close to Him. It's not how many times you read Psalm 91. It's the relationship.

Matthew 23:27-39
Verde 37: Only when Israel says this verse then Jesus will come in a bang!

John 17:25-26
Verse 26:  A beautiful verse of God's love.

Genesis 22:1-2
Verse 2: Think about it. Abraham has two sons. Why did God say to Abraham to bring his only son? God is referring to Hinself. Jesus says no one knows the Father except the son.

Genesis 24 is the longest chapter in Genesis. It talks about a bride for the servant. The story of Rebecca is a story of the church. 

In closing,

The first mention of love is father's love for the son. The second mention of love is the love for the bride.

God knows it was hard on Abraham but knows he's a man of faith.

Genesis 22:6-8
The son asked where is the lamb? Abraham said God will provide the lamb. God spared Abraham's son but did not spare His own son.

20 July 2014

Topic: God's Divine Protection in Psalm 91

In Ezekiel 38,  it mentions that Russia will come down to invade Israel. Russia is mentioned in the bible. We know that Russia has this capability with missiles. Russia will come down from the north to God's people in Israel. The Lord says he will be our protector. The church is not a place to learn religion. It is a place to learn how to parent, a place to learn about this wonderful God who created the heavens and the earth. It is a place to learn about Jesus, a place to learn about grace.

The scripture says to grow in grace in the knowledge of Jesus Christ. We grow in grace. Only when we grow in grace that we will steward the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. Not the other way round.

The pulpit is not a place for you to abuse. It is to serve. Some people are called to do mission work. Take it from someone to be called to be a pastor.

Pastor asks us to stand up to recite Psalm 91 as a church. He says something happens when we recite this Psalm because in verse 2 it says, "I will say of the Lord". This psalm works by saying. He is our refuge and fortress. "In Him I will trust" is the same as Hebrews 2:13.

Before you board the plane, take P91 and have the card nearby. During a turbulence, you can quote Psalm 91.

Verse 5: This arrow is talking about missiles. Pestilence is disease.

First of all you need to acknowledge that God is not entirely in charge of earth. God wanted the kingdom to be established in Israel. Israel failed time and time again. Now we are in the midst of Israel rule. We are in the days of the revival of the Roman empire.

Your reasoning is not going to help you in reality.
God will not violet your free choice. Men blame God when their fingers are burnt. But God was already telling them that fire burns.

Proverbs 18:10
Verse 10: If there's no evil, the word "safe" makes no sense.

Back to Psalm 91:5-6
Fitness and health are two different things. You see terror, arrow, day, pestilence, darkness, destruction and noonday. It doesn't really matter. God says He'll be there to be your protection.

Hitler hated Israel and exterminated 6 million of them. When Jesus came riding on a donkey, He looked at Jerusalem and wept. That is frightening. He cannot force His protection on them. The devil attacked them and is still doing that.

Psalm 91:1-2
In these two verses, you can see the name of the Lord mentioned twice. To know the name, is to know Him. The Most High is Elyon which is God's name. Almighty is Shaddai. Lord is Yahweh. My God is Elohim. In Chapter 1 of Genesis, creation is just one chapter. When it comes to Jesus, it is more important than the entire creation. It has got to do with your protection. The death of Jesus is where forgiveness is received. It matter all to God.

The secret place of the most high was mentioned first time in the bible in the story of Melchizedek.
Genesis 14:18-20
Verse 18: God Most High (El Elyon).
Verse 19: God is a Possessor of heaven and earth.
Verse 20: Tithing is involved when the Most High is mentioned. When Abraham responded with a tithe, health was given to him. Tithing was before the law.

When was Shaddai first mentioned?
In between El Elyon and Shaddai from Psalm 91:1, you will find the secret place of the Most High.
Genesis 17:1
Verse 1: God is Almighty God (El Shaddai).

In Genesis 14, El Elyon is first mentioned. In Genesis 17, El Shaddai is first mentioned. So what's in between the two chapters?

In Genesis 15:5-6,
In order to be at the secret place of the Most High, you must believe you are righteous apart from works.

Genesis 16: It is about whether you are through with the law? Do you think Sarah (grace) can do a better job than Hagar is raising the child? We are still confused today but thank God in the church we know who can do a better job. Hagar cannot dominate the household.

El Shaddai means all supplying. God has brought us high above all might and dominion. God says humble yourself and He will exalt you. When God raises you up, you cannot fall. In practical life, you put yourself low. Whatever you argue, does God cause your words to stick? At the end of the day, you don't give your time to people like that. It's God who makes it stick with credibility.

In closing,

You are now in the Most High. All the blessings in Deuteronomy 28, it says to position first then the blessings come to you. Be humble, listen to teachings and corrections.

Children should not be watching wrestling when they are young. It is dangerous. Protect your family. Put them in the sacred place of the Most High. 

Always have the naked feeling when you leave house. You always have time to do what you should go.

I'm taking this chance to share with you these songs and I hope they accompany you this week too!
(Listed down in my order of preference)

13 July 2014

Praise and Worship: Today we sang a new song by Chris Tomlin which I thought was really nice. Great song!

1) Hillsong - God Is Here
Link to blog entry titled "18 August 2013"

2) Freely Forgiven
Link to blog entry titled "6 July 2014"


3) Whom Shall I Fear - Tomlin (Video comes with guitar chords)


4) Anthem of Grace
Link to blog entry titled " 6 April 2014"

5) I stand in worship

 

Kenneth E. Haggin shared many years ago that the secret to living long is to forgive fast and repent fast.
If we do not adopt that, it is like drinking poison and hoping the other person dies first.

Hebrews 11:21
Verse 21: That's the only account of Jacob's entire life. Blessing your children is a great thing to God. To God, that's the greatest thing you did that day.

Hebrews 11:20-21
Verse 20: Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come.

No one can satisfy your heart with a thing. We are only satisfied by a person. Peace is always based on His finished work. Joy is based on keeping Jesus in your mind always.

There no such thing as a grace message. It is the real gospel. The real gospel is controversial. The gospel has come and Christ fulfilled all the laws. Under the law, it is full of judement. Why? Because Christ has not come. Judgment happens because of love.

Hebrews 12:14-29
Verse 14: This is the word of God. Once we are justified by faith, we have peace with God. This peace is peace with all people. This verse is talking about the revelation of God. We want this in our family. We want holiness so that we can have a fresh revelation of the Lord everyday.
Verse 15: When a root of bitterness springs up, the person goes around defiling many. He goes around blogging, sharing with others. When you read it, you are indulging the other person's bitterness.
Verse 16: "Fornicator" is referring to sexual scene outside marriage. In other words, Esau lived for his body.

Genesis 25:27-28
Verse 27: Esau is a man's man. Jacob is a mummy's man. One is very performance oriented. Esau is trying to gain his father's blessings. It is not the quantity of your actions, it is the quality of your actions.

Back to Hebrews 12:18-29,
Verse 20: This mountain is Mount Sinai, where the law was given. But in verse 18, it says we have not come to this mountain. God has moved mountains.
Verse 22: But we have come to Mount Zion. God is mentioned her for the first time. Angels are also mentioned. Plenty of angels, uncountable are mentioned here. Do you know when you step into a plane, angels follow you.

Law is all about demand. Mount Zion is where the holy spirit descended and the church was born. Grace is all about supply. Law demands righteousness. For law to be law, if it cannot find righteousness, it must curse. Grace suppliws to you what you need. Law demands perfect righteousness. God clothes you with His grace.

On Mount Sinai, God demands. On Mount Zion, God asks people who are heavy laden to come to Him and He will give them rest. This is grace.

Things you cannot see is more real than things you can see. In Corinthians, it says things yo can see is temporal and things you cannot see is eternal. One day you'll have a body that is forever. You have the healing, money. Just claim it. These are eternal.

At Mount Sinai, those who worshipped idols and they all died. Putting yourself under law don't make you holy.

Galatians 5:4
It's a terrible thing when Christ becomes of no effect. Why? If you're trying by your own efforts then this happens.

Back to Hebrews 12:22-29
Verse 23: Christ has been punished for our sins, so the Judge of All demands that we are perfect.
Verse 24: This blood speaks better things than that of Abel. The first murder is due to religion. God accepted Abel because he brought the blood of the lamb. So Cain became jealous. When Abel died, his blood called out vengeance on the murderer. But when Jesus' blood was shed, it speaks restoration, health, healing and wholeness. When they pierced Jesus side, the blood cleanses us.
Verse 25: See that we don't refuse Him. Anyone who rejects His grace, there is no more salvation for you. That is what Hebrews is all about.
Verse 26: Earth will be shaken when grace is proclaimed.
Verse 27: Things that cannot be shaken may remain.
Verse 28: Let us have grace. This is an active voice.
Verse 29: God will consume everything that is not grace.
