You Talk 10/3 Friday Faith

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: You Talk 10/3 Friday Faith [I have repeated this one often over the years, hopefully not recently.] You talk of your doubts and your fears, and you destroy your faith. You talk of the ability of the Father that is yours, and fill your lips with praise for answers to prayers that you have asked. Its reaction upon the heart is tremendous: Faith grows by leaps and bounds. You talk about your trials and your difficulties, of your lack of faith, of your lack of money, and faith shrivels, loses its viritlity. Your whole spirit life shrinks. You study about what you are in Christ and then confess it boldly... Regardless of appearance, you take your stand; make your confession and hold fast to it in the face of apparent impossibilities. -- E. W. Kenyon.

Yom Kippur 10/2 Thursday Thoughts

YOM KIPPUR begins at sunset, Wednesday, October 1, and ends at sunset, Thursday, October 2. Yom Kippur | Important for Christians It is easy for Believers to assume that we are not expected to do anything written in the Old Testament aside from obeying the Ten Commandments. After all, most of what is in the Old Testament was for the Jews and does not apply today, right? No… When God gives something as an everlasting ordinance, it is meant to be just that, something done throughout all generations… because everlasting does not have an expiration date. We, as Christian believers in Yeshua, are grafted into our Jewish brothers and sisters, not the other way around (see Romans 11). Even Jesus observed biblical feasts, and ... He never said we were to stop observing God’s calendar. Jesus never expected Gentiles to suddenly become Jews… but He desires Jews and Gentile Believers to come together. Not forgetting who God created each to be, but still being as ONE BODY whose heart is for God and His will, not their own. Yom Kippur, therefore, being one of God’s everlasting ordinances, was not spoken by Jesus as being useless. Yes, while we are not going to be sacrificing animals… Yom Kippur continues to serve a special purpose. Ten days before Yom Kippur is Rosh Hashanah, the biblical new year and our awakening blast. When we reach Yom Kippur, we have JUST entered a new year in God, a fresh season where we can shake off the old and go higher into all God has for us through repentance and return to Him. This is vital preparation for our calling and relationship with God, but also for the final Fall Feast, Sukkot, where we abide with God. Because it is important to be clean before we abide with Him... Being a Believer does not make these feasts less important, in fact, due to the knowledge and Blood of Jesus, they become more important. Because the fullness of what they are becomes clearer. We pray that this Fall Feast season, God awakens you, redeems you, and dwells with you! We pray that through this moed [appointed time] you understand who you are, the roots of your faith, and most importantly, the truth of God’s purpose and plans for you! curtlandry.com      Curt Landry Ministries on Facebook

Be Like Him 10/1 Wednesday Wisdom

Righteousness in the inward parts. Pure through and through. -- Smith Wigglesworth

More Than a Conqueror 9/29 Monday Meditation

LEP'S FAITH QUOTES: More Than a Conqueror 9/29 Monday Meditation You take your position in Christ that you are more than a conqueror, that no matter what the testing may be, God cannot let you fail. You are not standing on sense evidence. You are not standing on the faith of other people. You are standing squarely upon His own Word. Your confidence is not in the prayers of others, but in this unchanging, unbreakable Word; and you refuse to allow your lips to destroy the effectiveness of that Word in your case. You hold fast to your confession though it would appear as though the prayer was never answered. It is your quiet assurance in His Word that gives you the supremacy over your Adversaries. -- E. W. Kenyon.

As long as you walk in the light, you have fellowship with and love for your brothers and sisters in Christ, and you have a present salvation.
