Our Deliverer, Our Comforter

Abraham is called to leave his country, his family, and his father’s house to go to a place that God will show him. But God had not shown him yet; this was so he would walk by faith and not by sight. Each part of the command corresponded to a promise that was dependent upon Abraham’s obedience. Abraham would lose much in exile but he will gain in the end. The blessings upon Abraham would not merely be for himself, but he would be a medium of blessing to others. God promises His providential protection and care of Abraham. God used the obedience of Abraham to bless all the families of the earth, because from his line would come the Messiah. When we step out in obedience to the commands and call of God we cannot calculate or estimate the extent of the blessing that God will bring to others through us. Abraham did not depart alone. The call was personal to Abraham but although he obeyed the call as an individual he did so within community. When God purposes to do a redemptive work He does not only call individuals, but He calls a community, a Church, His Body. Lot went with Abraham and so did Sarah his wife. God called both Abraham and Sarah to play complimentary roles in His purpose of redemption. And they were called to compliment each other through different roles and responsibilities. Together, united by their faith in God, they were used for the redemptive purposes of God and from both of them came the seed of Christ. When Abraham entered Canaan he was not alone in the land of promise. He did not look around at what he saw but he looked to the LORD by faith and held onto His promises. He had no descendants or land. But he still held onto the promises of God by faith.

This is a letter that was sent by Jeremiah the prophet to those that were carried away captive to Babylon. The year is 597 BC and 10,000 people have been carried away. This letter is opposing the voices of the false prophets that were telling the people that their captivity would be brought to an end speedily. At the very beginning of the letter Jeremiah makes it clear that the Lord had caused the people of Judah to be carried away captive. He had allowed all this to take place because of the refusal of the people of Judah to repent. Jeremiah was concerned that the exiles would be excited and led astray by the words of the false prophets promising what they wanted to hear rather than the truth. Jeremiah was concerned that the exiles would begin to take their lives into their own hands; they would try to dictate and to the situation and force change to take place. The Lord had revealed to Jeremiah that the captivity would last seventy years and that God alone would be the One to restore them, they would be unable to restore themselves. Jeremiah commands the people to dwell exactly where they are and live normal lives. But to live normal lives in hope of restoration! To live normal lives by faith. Because to listen to the delusional dreams of the false prophets and act in hasty ways would be in rebellion against what the Lord was doing. Jeremiah reminds the people that all would take place according to God’s timing, not according to their own timing. Jeremiah was telling the people to wait for the work of God, to wait in hope, to wait in expectation, and to wait in faith, because the Lord would deliver them. The people must surrender to God’s thoughts, plans, and purposes. Click here to listen: The Thoughts of the Lord

Gethsemane is a place of great mental and spiritual suffering. To suffer is to go through an experience. Each disciple will face a similar test as Christ faced. All Christians must remain united with Christ through sufferings and experiences. One must despise self and follow after Christ. Jesus warns those who want to run from their Gethsemane that they cannot be saved. We must give up our rights to ourselves and die to ourselves. Christ did not want to suffer as He did but He said, “not My will but Thy will be done.” This is a change in nature, habits, character, and will. Our thinking is the key that changes everything else. The only way to know is to will to do His will. The only way to holiness is through obedience. This is obedience leading to righteousness. Our mind is not our own, we must stay in Christ. Incorrect thinking leads to bad habits. Habits become our nature. We must get our thinking into shape and be disciplined. We are to live in faith not lust or fear. Our thinking must turn into actions. None of us can claim knowledge without experience. We must put things into practice before we speak about it. We need to work things out before we speak. Are you acting according to how you think? Do you speak to others as one who has put into practice what you are saying? Do not think you are something you are not! Gethsemane is to do, not simply to talk. Christ left Gethsemane a willing sacrifice. We must arrive at the truth even if we don’t like the way to get there. We must hear and act; our Gethsemane must be a personal event. Gethsemane is a place of refinement. May we say like Christ in the midst of trials, “Not my will but Thy will be done.” Click here to listen: Gethsemane

What is the purpose in suffering and trials? Suffering means to undergo an experience. All Christians will experience a continual baptism into Christ and will die to self. We will go through hard times but He will be with us to teach us. We will suffer for God’s sake and undergo many experiences. This how we will further be made into His image. Patience in suffering brings about His work in our lives. It costs to learn to persevere. How can we endure? We must fall back into the arms of grace. No weapon or tongue can stand against us, and the righteousness that is found in Christ! We must be disciplined to be Christ’s disciples. Obedience is worked out in us through fear and trembling. It is God who does this work in us as we walk by faith. No flesh shall glory in His presence. We must allow the Potter to do His work in the clay. He is the Potter and we are the clay. We must walk before Him in humility and weakness. What we have learned must be worked out in us. All things must be shaken so that which cannot be shaken may remain. Christianity is an ongoing personal relationship with God through Christ. Christianity is not about us “doing good” but it is about surrendering our life to Christ and living by faith. This is how our ideals become facts. Do not hide behind the false peace of the world. We must find peace in Christ alone. All we have to do is nothing for the Kingdom of Satan to be created. We partner with Satan when we live for self and apart from God. Is the road we are walking on lead us away or toward God? Christ disturbs the way we look at everything in our lives, but by faith He will bring us through and remake us entirely. Click here to listen: Click Here to Listen
