HOW LONG BEFORE YOU BECOME WHO GOD HAS CALLED YOU TO BE
During this Feast of Unleavened Bread, we need to find the leaven that is stopping us from entering His Rest
A LITTLE LEAVEN
1 Corinthians 5:6 Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?
7 Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:
8 Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
We can become a new person by letting go of false beliefs and filling our minds with the pure, honest truth of God's Word.
There are three sources from which leaven enters our lives: the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life. The enemy tempted Eve with these three, and she fell short of who God had called her to be. The enemy tempted Jesus with the same three temptations, but Jesus overcame each one with “It is written.” You will also face the same three, so you too must respond with “It is written.”
Faith comes by hearing the word of God
We learned that Faith is not a noun but a verb. Faith is action
The Hebrew word for faith is Emunah or AMEN.
Now, Faith (amen) (action) is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
The substance and evidence of the promises of God manifest when we amen and act on the truth of God’s word – we let the word become life in our lives
The seven days of creation, the seven days of the week, and the seven feasts all serve as types and shadows of the process of entering His Rest.
QUESTIONS FOR DISCUSSION:
What sources of leaven have prevented you from becoming who God has called you to be?
How has understanding that faith is a verb and not a noun changed your perspective?
How has the revelation that the seventh day has no evening and morning changed your timeline for Letting the Word Become Life in Your Life?
Looking forward to our discussion.
In His Service,
Bishop Bill
