FIVE DAYS OF PRAYER (SUNDAY MAY 3- THURSDAY MAY 7, 2015)

“and I said, “O my God, I am ashamed and embarrassed to lift up my face to You, my God, for our iniquities have risen above our heads and our guilt has grown even to the heavens”. Ezra 9:6
Shame is at a premium in this swiftly fading post-modern world. This is absolutely no sense of remorse, regret or urgency to seek reconciliation with the Truth from those in power all the way up to those in the church. It is no wonder, therefore, that a church prayer service/meeting is a rarity and even more rare, is the call to repentance,The greatest Scribe named in the Bible was Ezra.
 
Because his full occupation was transcribing the Word of God, Ezra was a man consumed by the knowledge of the Holy and the powerful Heartbeat of God because of His given word. Because of his complete commitment to God, he knew the Scriptures more than any priest or rabbi.

THE DAY OF THE LORD, THE MYSTERY OF INIQUITY

Sunday, November 25th, 2012

There is a phrase in the bible that appears to cause some confusion.  The day of the Lord is a time of wrath, vengeance, and destruction.  This is a terrible time for those left on earth.  During this time some people are hidden. This is confusing if we don’t understand where the redeemed are. So many times people think the parousia (the coming of Jesus to punish Jerusalem) is for all people.  It is not. The Lord redeems two distinct groups of people, one before the seals are opened and one after, as we saw last week.http://musingsofawinsomeheart.blogspot.com/2012/11/who-are-redeemed-and-are-we-seeing.html But the coming of the Lord is not a happy time.  With the fighting in Israel currently escalating, some people may think the day of the Lord is at hand but the text reveals some clues on timing that are markers for our time line.
