PROPHETIC LAYERS REVEALING THE MESSIAH 
MANNA-FEST WITH PERRY STONE

 






Passover Begins Tonight at Sundown




Passover - The Feast of Unleavened Bread
by David Weiss

Revelation 1:1-6 "This is the revelation which G-d gave to Yeshua the Messiah, so that he could show his servants what must happen very soon. He communicated it by sending his angel to his servant Yochanan, 2 who bore witness to the Word of G-d and to the testimony of Yeshua the Messiah, as much as he saw. 3 Blessed are the reader and hearers of the words of this prophecy, provided they obey the things written in it! For the time is near! From: Yochanan To: The seven Messianic communities in the province of Asia: Grace and shalom to you from the One who is, who was and who is coming; from the sevenfold Spirit before his throne; and from Yeshua the Messiah, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead and the ruler of the earth’s kings. To him, the one who loves us, who has freed us from our sins at the cost of his blood, who has caused us to be a kingdom, that is, cohanim for G-d, his Father — to him be the glory and the rulership forever and ever. Amen."

Tonight at sundown begins the Festival of Pesach. Passover, the feast of unleavened bread. Initially the purpose of the unleavened bread was because the Israelites were about to leave Egypt. It was going to be in a hurry so the L-rd had them use unleavened bread because they did not have time for it to rise. But it has a deeper meaning than just that. It also is about not being affected by the yeast of the world. 

When the Isra'elites were going into the wilderness on the way to the Land of Promise, it was a message to them. The message was "the people you will displace are pagan in all their spiritual practices. I do not want you to be affected by their practices." Initially they were supposed to go in and defeat all the inhabitants so they would wipe out their sinful, idolatrous practices. But things got messed up from the beginning. 

The Isra'elites lost faith quickly. They failed to walk by faith and they quickly turned to idolatry. But the worst part was their lack of faith in believing the 10 negative spies and not the report of the good spies. So G-d caused them to wander for 40 years. 40 years of punishment so that the generation of unbelief would have a chance to die out. Those 20 and older would not survive to the Land of Promise - except for the two good spies - Y'hoshua and Calev. 

Look at the words of the introduction of today's passage again. What do you see? Twice it says that these things will happen soon. But it has been nearly two thousand years since they were spoken. Yeshua had told his emissaries at one point to beware of the yeast of the P'rushim, the Pharisees. They were not to allow the legalistic influence of the P'rushim to affect their spiritual beliefs. And he issued a similar warning here. He said in verse 3 "provided they obey the things written in it!"

What are some things written in this prophesy that people have failed to obey? This book goes on the speak seven letters to seven communities throughout Asia. I believe those seven are types. They are not seven specific congregations but seven types of congregations. In it they are described by the ways they do or do not follow the truth. And there is still the word "soon." He says that these things will happen soon. It is a building of expectation. 


Today we tend to think like the world around us. We go to our jobs and save for retirement and hope to live comfortably. But that is not how the walk of faith is described. It is not that those things are sinful, but they do not concentrate on right things. The right things of relying on G-d and telling others about him. Even today we need that reminder of walking with G-d and trusting him for our sustenance. Because his rulership is forever and ever!

 The perseverance of the saints is only possible because of 
the perseverance of God.
J. Oswald Sanders

People Know You By Your Actions



SCRIPTURE   Matthew 7:1-29 

SITUATION  Matthew recorded the ending of Jesus sermon.  Jesus called his hearers to put his teaching into practice.   

OBSERVATION   Jesus said that the true way which leads to life is based on an internal transformation, not on external deeds.

INSPIRATION  You want to make a difference in your world? Live a holy life.
Be faithful to your spouse.
Be the one at the office who refuses to cheat.
Be the neighbor who acts neighborly.
Be the employee who does the work and doesn't complain.
Pay your bills.
Do your part and enjoy life.
Don't speak one message and live another.

Note the last line of Paul's worlds in 1 Thessalonians 4:11-12, "Do all you can to live a peaceful life. Take care of  your own business, and do you own work as we have already told you.  If you do then people who are not believers will respect you.

A peaceful life leads non-believers.  What is John's life had not matched his words?  What if he'd preached repentance  and lived immorality?  What if he'd called for holiness and yet had a reputation for dishonesty?  If John's life had not matched his words his message would have fallen on deaf ears.

So will ours.

People are watching the way we act more than they are listening to what we say.

Saint Francis of Assisi once invited a young monk to accompany him to town to preach.  The novice was honored at the opportunity.  The two set out for the city, then they walked up and down the main street, then several side streets.  They chatted with peddlers and greeted the citizens.  After some time they returned by another route to the abbey.

The younger man reminded Francis of his original intent.  "You have forgotten, Father that we went to town to preach."

"My son," he replied "we have preached.   We have been seen by many.  Our behavior was closely watched.  Our attitudes were closely measured.  Our words have been overheard.  It was by thus that we preached our morning sermon."

John was a voice for Christ with more than his voice.  His life matched his words. When a person's ways and words are the same, the fusion is explosive.  But when a person  says one thing and lives another, the result is destructive. People will know we are Christians not because we bear the name, but because we live the life.  (From A Gentle Thunder by Max Lucado)

APPLICATION   What would other say about your life? What kind of fruit  are you producing?  Think of three specific steps yo u can take to live the life of a Christian.

EXPLORATION  Producing  Fruit -- Isaiah 3:10, Matthew 3:8, 21:43, John 15:1-17, Colossians 1:10, James 3:18

The Devotional Bible by Max Lucado, New Century Version, Thomas Nelson Publishers, page 1155



TODAY PRAYER  My Heavenly Father, I often approach you for help in my plans. Teach me to wait upon you Lord and to seek your will over my life. You know my deepest needs and I trust that you will answer my prayers in your timing and in your way. As it says in the Bible, “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you” (Matthew 7:7 NIV). Lord, I ask for your wisdom and guidance for this next season of my life. In Jesus' name, Amen. 

Do The Same



"You didn’t die so that I could follow all the rules
You didn’t bleed so that we could make ourselves look good
You didn’t rise from the grave to keep me safe
You gave it all so that I could do the same"







Words To Warm The Heart

If you are looking for an example of humility look at the cross. - St. Thomas Aquinas

The word became flesh, he lived among us, and we saw his glory, the glory that he has from the Father as the only Son of the Father, full of grace and truth.  John 1:14

Christ became what we are that he might make us what he is.  St. Athanasius of Alexandria
