GIFTS – PART THIRTY-THREE
A LEGAL FOUNDATION FOR SALVATION
Friday – June 5, 2020, Sivan 13, 5780
Greetings to our dear and wonderful friends and partners of this Ministry and followers of The Three Minute Word blog. God is so good saints of God. If you are reading this on Facebook please take a moment to hit the “love” and “share” buttons to give us feedback and to expand the reach of these teachings. Ask the Lord right now if you are to share this or not. What did He say? What did you do? I hope that all of us have earnestly practiced hearing the voice of the Lord during the Coronavirus pestilence. We should have been taught to do this from the very day of our salvation. Do we inquire of the Lord day in and day out before we do things or do, we just plan and then run to Him when things don’t go right or have a fit of carnality first? Do we get frustrated, complain, pass judgment, enter into unforgiveness, get out of love and faith all the while not realizing our God could have saved us from a truck load of trouble. Rather than all of that let’s repent, receive forgiveness, see what the Word has to say, listen to the leadership of the Holy Spirit within and do it. Not inquiring and following the leadership of the Holy Spirit or the Word of God is tempting the Lord, which is sin. It is sin when we are being led entirely by self or by our spiritual enemies. Then we wonder why bad things happen. Except we repent bad things will happen to us all (Luke 13:3, 5).
In this Friday Bible Study series, we are exploring the gifts of God thus the title “Gifts”. For the last thirty-two weeks I have been exposing the legal foundation upon which the coming of the Messiah was based. This was necessary to our salvation (restoration of all things), the blotting out of sin to allow fellowship with God, and our redemption from the curse now in the earth. God had given dominion (authority) in the earth to mankind. Therefore, from the day Adam was created to this day God works through people. A man, at least one, in the earth has to speak the will of God (by faith, in love, led by the Holy Spirit) and this permits God to act.
Amos 3:7 (KJV)
7 Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.
Over, and over, perhaps too numerous to count, God speaks to a man (person) and that person declares that Word into the earth thus loosing God to perform His Word. The coming of a Messiah was declared from the Day of Sin and Death in the Garden of Eden.
Genesis 3:15 (KJV)
15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
God, the Father, told the Serpent that day, you may be the god of this world today but by way of a woman I will bring a Messiah who will crush your head.
Galatians 4:4-7 (KJV)
4 But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,
5 To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.
6 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.
7 Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.
Finally, God found a man, Abram, and they entered into a Blood Covenant and the legal foundation was in place for the coming of Messiah. That Covenant was tested and stood in Genesis chapter twenty-two, the law of reciprocity was in place, and the coming of the Messiah was assured. Now let’s turn our attention to our primary Bible text and read it aloud, yes, out loud.
Genesis 22:18-19 (KJV)
18 And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice.
19 So Abraham returned unto his young men, and they rose up and went together to Beersheba; and Abraham dwelt at Beersheba.
Verse eighteen sounds a lot like the following.
Genesis 12:3 (KJV)
3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
God takes the blessing and the cursing of the Jewish people very serious and personal. Any Christian that is not praying for, speaking blessings over Israel, and promoting their well being (yes, money) is limiting what God can do for them severely. Finally, let’s turn our attention to verse nineteen (the number of faith) of our primary Bible text. From Mount Moriah Abraham went and dwelt at Beersheba. He had entered into Blood Covenant with almighty God for a son, for the Jewish people’s land, the Messiah, and that Blood Covenant has been tested and stood. He now goes and dwells at Beersheba which according to Strong’s Talking Greek & Hebrew Dictionary means well of an oath. Beersheba is a compound word which also means a well of completion. A well gives forth water, water symbolizes the Word of God in Scripture, and The Word is Christ Jesus Himself. The Messiah, Christ Jesus by an oath, based on a Blood Covenant brought forth a spiritual completion, the restoration of all things. How wonderful! Salvation, full restoration and more, is now come to mankind!
Until our next publication, as a Bible Teacher and Prophetic Voice I speak this blessing over each and every one of you, receive it, believe it, and speak over yourself and your family by faith in Jesus name! Quit asking God to bless you, you are already blessed, you have the Blessing, give Him something to do by the words of your mouth. Once you know the will of God, decree the thing (Job 22:28, Isaiah 45:11, Mark 11:23). (The Blessing is the Holy Spirit) We have left God way to long with nothing to do in our lives.
Numbers 6:24-26 (AMP)
24 The Lord bless you and watch, guard, and keep you;
25 The Lord make His face to shine upon and enlighten you and be gracious (kind, merciful, and giving favor) to you;
26 The Lord lift up His [approving] countenance upon you and give you peace (tranquility of heart and life continually).
