Abraham's Journey

The story of Abraham has always been a sense of inspiration to me. When I hear the Bible story, I can visualize the process Abraham took. God gave Abraham an order. Abraham packed his supplies, traveled three days, gave his servants instructions, loaded up his son and supplies, and stepped forward to complete his ordered mission from God. It was a process of time. As a little girl, when I heard the story, I thought Abraham went that moment to sacrifice his son. It was not that way. There were days in which Abraham had to maintain his faith. There were days; he traveled burdened with the task at hand. Could you imagine what was going through his head? The strength and courage it took not to bolt? What would you have thought while you walked that three-day path? I bet you are considering those thoughts right now.

Do not give up. Many times we are sent on missions that appear to have no end. That is because the journey is the task.  God needs His people to intercede on behalf of our nation. Do not give up and surrender to the theft of our country. God promises He will bring justice to His people. You have to do your part in prayer, though. When you stop intercession and just move on with your life, you give up the right to complain to God concerning your life condition. We could save ourselves tons of grief if we would just perform the mission, watch God move, and then give testimony of “How great thou art.”  You have to step forward, and your faith must be unwavering. How do you want your “three-day walk” recorded?

Authority Given By God

The other day, God reminded me of a story. When I was teaching in the old mission building, my classroom was the library. I loved the big tables that we could join together as we discussed God’s word. Then I had to move over to the men’s side of the building and teach in one of the classrooms. It was your standard room with conference tables. At the time, I felt the setup cold as I was way upfront from the ladies “teaching.” My director permitted me to join the tables together to make it more intimate. Since I was having trouble with my legs, she told me I could leave the tables joined together for the guys to put the room back together. She forgot to tell the guys. One day, a man came storming into my classroom and yelled at me. “You will put those tables back,” he demanded. I looked up and slowly said, “No.” He screamed again, “Yes, you will.” I again replied, “No, and if you have a problem with that answer, you can talk with my supervisor.” The look on his fa...

Questions about Fasting Part One

Was fasting a foretelling of repentance and dying to self? Everything in the Old Testament Jewish faith was the "first to establish the second," meaning the religious acts were a foretelling to set up the death and resurrection of Christ. The practice of circumcision is not a sacred act anymore, nor is sacrifice. Why? Because in the New Covenant through Jesus, circumcision is now of the heart and not the flesh. The book of Romans reminds us that every religious act of the flesh has been replaced by living under grace through faith. So why are we continuing the practice of fasting for repentance or sorrow? Is that not an act of flesh? Do we not believe that if we confess our sins, Jesus is faithful and just to forgive us? Why do you have to starve yourself to get God to move or hear Him? Don't we believe that He has heard us if we ask according to His will? Do you think God is motivated more by our acts of humility or our acts of faith? Does He not kn...

Fast Part Two

I have been mulling over the part fasting should be playing in the age of grace. For two weeks, I have questioned my friends about why they fast. Most of my friends said the same thing: to get close to God or hear God. My friends are kind and allow me to challenge their thought processes or debate them concerning their answers. Yesterday at church, God finally brought a complete response to me about fasting. Imagine yourself on a date or having an intimate dinner with someone, and they took out their phone and started scrolling. What if you were talking to a friend and they walked away from you to do something else? How would you feel if someone you loved screened their calls and refused to pick up the phone to talk with you? All three of those scenarios are how we treat God. God looks at the relationship with His people as a marriage. There is not one marriage that can survive without intimacy or that special closeness withheld for only one. When we read ve...
