BLESSINGS FOR OBEDIENCE?

SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY

"If you fully obey the LORD your God and carefully follow all his commands I give you today, the LORD your God will set you high above all the nations on earth. All these blessings will come upon you and accompany you if you obey the LORD your God:
You will be blessed in the city and blessed in the country. The fruit of your womb will be blessed, and the crops of your land and the young of your live-stock----the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks. Your basket and your kneading trough will be blessed. You will be blessed when you come in and blessed when you go out.
The LORD will grant that the enemies who rise up against you will be defeated before you. They will come at you from one direction but flee from you in seven......." Deuteronomy 28:1-7

We have proven to the LORD that we cannot keep all 613 statutes and commands, why, we cant even keep the top 10...Now  does that mean that all these blessings are out of our reach? Yes, it did in the days before Jesus came. Before Jesus, we were required to offer a living sacrifice to atone for our transgressions against God's laws. The blood was sprinkled on the alter, see, with out the blood of a spotless, blameless animal the sacrifice was unacceptable. These animal sacrifices were required continually, because mans sins are continual. "We all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." So our Creator loved us so much that He gave His one and only Son that who so ever believes in Him might not perish but have everlasting life."
So, God sent Jesus to save us from ourselves and make a way for us to be forgiven for our sinful, human nature. He was, " The Lamb of God that takes away the sins of the world..." Now, that being said, our sins are forgiven and we are heirs to the promise of all these blessings and of everlasting life....Who are? Who are the ones whose sins are forgiven? We who believe in the name of Jesus! Are you a "who so ever" I am! I recieve the free gift of God which is everlasting life in paradise with Him. And all the blessings He promised will be mine when I "believe",and you will be blessed too,  and all the other believers, and those who God chooses will be blessed and will be with Him forever in paradise!
He makes it so easy for us to be "saved" . We only need to trust God and accept Jesus, Yeshua, and He will begin to grow in us, and change us from the inside out...! So don't ever think you need to clean yourself up before you come to God, no! Don't do that, you're wasting time! Just tell Him right now, if you already have'nt done it, just say this little prayer and mean it:  "Jesus, thank You for dying for me on the cross and paying for all my sins. I believe that you rose from the dead and are seated at the right hand of the Father. I repent and thank You for forgiving me for all my sins  and I ask you to come into my heart and be my Lord and King. Thank You Jesus! Thank YouYeshua. In Your precious name, Make it so..." Pray this prayer outloud because you must "confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord." Believe in your heart that Jesus is Lord and you will be saved!"   That's what God said! Believe it and recieve it!!!     


PRAYER FOR TODAY

Thank You Father God Yahweh, for making a way for us to be forgiven for all our sins, past, present, and future. Thank You for Your only Son Jesus, Yeshua, who gave Himself as a sacrifice for us so that we might be saved and have life with You in paradise. Thank You Abba Father for your mercy and grace. Help me to do what You will for me LORD. Thank You for divine favor and creativity and all the blessings you promised. Help me to share Your Word and blessings with all who will recieve. In the name of Jesus, Yeshua, my Lord and King, make it so.

Please pass this on....
