Wow, John, that message today was good about “placating God” with a burnt offering the way He told Moses to do it. If it was done any other way, he would still be angry with sin because of the way it was done. Like David said in Psalms, God “is angry with the wicked everyday”!!! Jesus did what he did so that the Father would be placated with those who repent and receive his spirit – as long as they stay under that blood that he shed forth on our souls.
I love what God has done for his people! He made a way for the ones who were his before Jesus came, by giving them the law so that they would be ready to receive his Son when he came later, and if they loved his ways, they were ready. This has helped me love the law even more than I did already; knowing how much a covering and a way out from sin the Law of Moses was for his people. Wow! How much more does it mean to us to know that his Son came and what he did for all his people!! By the Spirit, he has washed the inside of us forever! He is our life. This is the way of life!
What a wonderful meeting today! I could feel a stirring in the Spirit. That feels so good!!! It is strong, full of substance, life-giving power. I could feel the power and love in what Earl said about God being our friend. God, be our friend, so we can know you more! Darren’s song, and Gary’s song! Wow! Thank you, Jesus! What power in the prayer today!!
