The Bite: Romans 11:26

And in this way all Israel will be saved, as it is written, The Deliverer will come from Zion; he will turn godlessness away from Jacob.

Digest: 

Jesus was the promised Deliverer. He would deliver Israel and that same deliverance would be offered to us. 

What was He going to rescue or deliver us from?

1. Ungodliness and sin

2. Terrors fo the coming judgment 

3.  The power of Satan in the right now 

Delivery takes items from one location to the next. You expect that delivery to arrive. The delivery has processing time. 

Jesus came to be the Ultimate Deliverer from this earth to eternity. God the Father awaits our arrival. The journey of life is our processing time. 

1. Have you trusted in the Lord to deliver you from your sins for eternity?

2. Is there a situation that you need the Lord's deliverance?

New Christmas Series

Bite: Jeremiah 33:15

 

“In those days and at that time I will cause a Righteous Branch

to sprout up for David and he will administer justice and righteousness in the land.”

 

  • The Lord promises David that he was going to raise up a descendant from his body and establish his (Jesus) Kingdom. 
  • It was going to be a forever Kingdom. It would be a father son relationship.
  • The throne would be forever. 
  • Jesus was the descendant that would have that father son relationship and forever reign on the throne. 
  • Establishing the eternal kingdom for us.

 

Righteous Branch- David's line had been stumped down but God and would make it have a new branch that would beautiful and glorious, that branch would bear fruit

that benefits us today. Jesus administers and executes justice and righteousness. He would be the new growth that causes our New GROWTH. He would sprout a new way and route for our  salvation.

 

Digest: Even when our tree is stumped by sinful legacy or actions of our own. Jesus provides a new growth. The new branch that has the ability to affect generations. Jesus Is the Righteous Branch that sprouted out for righteousness and justice For ALL people.

 

Where do you need to trust Jesus in a new way ? Are you from a stumped family of faithlessness / generational strongholds?

 

Jesus was God's way to show us that when he makes a covenant...he keeps it. When he sees brokenness…. he repairs. Even at the lowest stump he can make something new.

 

Chew: Allow the Righteous Branch to sprout something new in you.

Could this be it? There is a lot talk about the rapture 

 

Rapture 

1 Thess 4:17-18

 

For the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a commanding shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet call of God. First, the believers who have died[h] will rise from their graves. 17 Then, together with them, we who are still alive and remain on the earth will be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. Then we will be with the Lord forever. 18 So encourage each other with these words.

 

This weekend is the Feast of the trumpets in Israel. I don't understand much of what is happening but there was a Abrahams Accord just signed by President Trump 

 

Resurrected Body 1 Corin 14:50-55

50 What I am saying, dear brothers and sisters, is that our physical bodies cannot inherit the Kingdom of God. These dying bodies cannot inherit what will last forever.

51 But let me reveal to you a wonderful secret. We will not all die, but we will all be transformed! 52 It will happen in a moment, in the blink of an eye, when the last trumpet is blown. For when the trumpet sounds, those who have died will be raised to live forever. And we who are living will also be transformed. 53 For our dying bodies must be transformed into bodies that will never die; our mortal bodies must be transformed into immortal bodies.

54 Then, when our dying bodies have been transformed into bodies that will never die,[j] this Scripture will be fulfilled:

“Death is swallowed up in victory.[k]

55 

O death, where is your victory?

    O death, where is your sting?[l]

Matt 24-25  Go Read IT!

Deception will be on the rise 

Sin will be rampant 

  1. 17-18 Must not go back !

v.31 And he will send out his angels with the mighty blast of a trumpet, and they will gather his chosen ones from all over the world[i]—from the farthest ends of the earth and heaven.

 

“However, no one knows the day or hour when these things will happen, not even the angels in heaven or the Son himself.[k] Only the Father knows.

 

37 “When the Son of Man returns, it will be like it was in Noah’s day. 38 In those days before the flood, the people were enjoying banquets and parties and weddings right up to the time Noah entered his boat. 39 People didn’t realize what was going to happen until the flood came and swept them all away. That is the way it will be when the Son of Man comes.

40 “Two men will be working together in the field; one will be taken, the other left. 41 Two women will be grinding flour at the mill; one will be taken, the other left.

42 “So you, too, must keep watch! For you don’t know what day your Lord is coming. 43 Understand this: If a homeowner knew exactly when a burglar was coming, he would keep watch and not permit his house to be broken into. 44 You also must be ready all the time, for the Son of Man will come when least expected.

How can you be saved ?

Repent 

God created you He Loves you and he wants a relationship with you 

You are a sinner and you need a savior 

Jesus is the only way to the Father 

You respond by Faith 

Romans 10:9-10 If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart you will be saved. 

You need to be saved 

John 1:12 Accept Jesus in your life Invite him in your life!

Pray !

Dear Jesus, I know that my sin has seperated me from you. Thank you that Jesus Christ died in my place. I ask Jesus to forgive my sin and to come into my life. Please begin to direct my life. Thank you for giving me eternal life. In Jesus name , Amen

Mark 13...

So I was awakened this morning by my bed shaking, tv shaking, and hearing my metal stamping and jewelry rattling. 

 

My first reaction was I must be trippin 😵

 

I looked out the window didn't see nothing

 

So I grabbed my bible app and put in earthquakes!

 

All I am saying y'all we better get our house in order because it seems to be that 2020 is putting us in labor for the return of our Savior. 

 

We are living in a time where nation against nation, a pandemic and now an earthquake that haven't hit North Carolina since the 1900s, the food shortage that we are still seeing.. 

 

Just like a woman goes into labor without any warning other than pain. I think we are in active labor in return. No one knows the time of his arrival but the Father. 

 

So according to the Word of God.

 

  • Don't be alarmed 
  • The things must happen 

 

v7 When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come.

 

Be on guard..because this is just the beginning?

 

These pains should give us hope for a new birth!



I must ask because I can't assume that all my followers/listeners know Jesus.. Are you ready if He was to return right now?

 

If not I invite you..to pray..

 

Father God.. I'm in need of Savior. I'm a sinner. I realize that my sin separates from you and I need you to come into my life. Thank you for Jesus paying the price to save my life. In Jesus name Amen!

Bite: Isaiah 43:18

Right before God tells his people he was going to do a NEW thing. He instructed them to Forget the former and not to dwell on the past.

God can’t take us to a NEW place,person or thing if we dwell on the past place, person or thing.

What does it mean to dwell? To live!!

Don’t live in the former. Move to the NEW!

When you make a move in life. Somethings have to be boxed up and thrown out. You normally don’t pack something you will no longer use and bring to the new home.

So purge the OLD things in your life. Make room because God is going to do a NEW thing.

You cant hide nothing from Jesus! 

The Bite

Luke 12:1-3 MSG

By this time the crowd, unwieldy and stepping on each other’s toes, numbered into the thousands. But Jesus’ primary concern was his disciples. He said to them, “Watch yourselves carefully so you don’t get contaminated with Pharisee yeast, Pharisee phoniness. You can’t keep your true self hidden forever; before long you’ll be exposed. You can’t hide behind a religious mask forever; sooner or later the mask will slip and your true face will be known. You can’t whisper one thing in private and preach the opposite in public; the day’s coming when those whispers will be repeated all over town.

  • Jesus was teaching in a packed out concert typesetting. There was no social distancing here. 
  • His concern was for his disciples. He warned them to Watch themselves carefully so that they would not be contaminated with Pharisee yeast and phoniness. 
  • You can't hide... your true self because you will one day be exposed. 
  • You can’t hide behind your religious mask forever..the mask will slip and your true face will be shown
  • You can't whisper one thing in private and preach the opposite in public because one day your whispers will be repeated all over town.

Jesus warned his disciples ….the followers of Christ...this bite is a reminder to us followers of Christ to watch yourself (thoughts, conversations, what's going in your ear) on this evil day. Stay guarded..those with large influence..search the Scripture for yourself!!

The Digest

 

You can't hide from God he knows ALL! with your mask on or off. 

  • Who is your true self ?
  • Will Christ agree with you ?
  • If you allowed your spiritual mask to slip right now who would Jesus see?
  • What is he hearing in your whispering moments?
  • If those same whispers become loud shouts from the rooftops, what would be said of you?

 

The Chew: Reveal your True Self and True Face to Christ.

Inspired by Jada &Will Red Table Talk

If you are married, you can not be entangled with someone who is not your spouse

You don't get seperated  to help or heal someone who is not your spouse. You're no man's savior.

Then Sin Entangles 

You get so wrapped up and cant get untangled until your mess gets out.

Let's talk Holy Scriptures

 

  • The Purpose of Marriage = ONE

 

This is why a man leaves his father and mother and bonds with his wife, and they become one flesh.  Both the man and his wife were naked, yet felt no shame.

Genesis 2:24-25

5 But Jesus told them, “He wrote this command for you because of the hardness of your hearts. 6 But from the beginning of creation God made them male and female. 7 For this reason a man will leave his father and mother  8 and the two will become one flesh. So they are no longer two, but one flesh. 9 Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.”

Mark 10:5-8

 

  • The Basis of Separation=Reconciliation/Healing/Repentance

 

To those who are already married my command, or rather, the Lord’s command, is that the wife should not leave her husband. But if she is separated from him she should either remain unattached or else be reconciled to her husband. A husband is not, in similar circumstances, to divorce his wife. 

1 Corinthians 7:10-11phillips

If anyone is ill he should send for the Church elders. They should pray over him, anointing him with oil in the Lord’s name. Believing prayer will save the sick man; the Lord will restore him and any sins that he has committed will be forgiven. You should get into the habit of admitting your sins to each other, and praying for each other, so that if sickness comes to you, you may be healed

James 5:14-16

 

  • Entanglements (Adultery) 

 

 

Exodus 20:14 MSG

No Adultery.

David/Bathsheba 2 Sam 11

We see/We take

3 So David sent someone to inquire about her, and he said, “Isn’t this Bathsheba, daughter of Eliam and wife of Uriah the Hethite?” 

David sent messengers to get her, and when she came to him, he slept with her

So David sends Uriah home from the frontline to try to get him to slept with his wife to pin the baby on him but Uriah didn't go home 

We Coverup

16 When Joab was besieging the city, he put Uriah in the place where he knew the best enemy soldiers were. 17 Then the men of the city came out and attacked Joab, and some of the men from David’s soldiers fell in battle; Uriah the Hethite also died.

We get over quickly

26 When Uriah’s wife heard that her husband, Uriah, had died, she mourned for him.[e] 27 When the time of mourning ended, David had her brought to his house. She became his wife and bore him a son. However, the Lord considered what David had done to be evil.

Don't Judge Jada

Cast the first stone 

The religion scholars and Pharisees led in a woman who had been caught in an act of adultery. They stood her in plain sight of everyone and said, “Teacher, this woman was caught red-handed in the act of adultery. Moses, in the Law, gives orders to stone such persons. What do you say?” They were trying to trap him into saying something incriminating so they could bring charges against him.

6-8 Jesus bent down and wrote with his finger in the dirt. They kept at him, badgering him. He straightened up and said, “The sinless one among you, go first: Throw the stone.” Bending down again, he wrote some more in the dirt.

9-10 Hearing that, they walked away, one after another, beginning with the oldest. The woman was left alone. Jesus stood up and spoke to her. “Woman, where are they? Does no one condemn you?”

11 “No one, Master.”

“Neither do I,” said Jesus. “Go on your way. From now on, don’t sin.”

Digest 

Where do you need to reconcile first to Christ and then to others? Marriage?

What entangles you?

If you are in a hard marriage seek out your spiritual leaders to help come alongside you for reconciliation stay unattached from relationship of the opposite sex. Don't put yourself in situations where you see and then want to take 

Where have you had to cover up sin ?

Do you move on quickly after you have sinned against the Lord forgetting to repent?

Remember we have no right to judge when we all are deserving to be stoned right now but by the grace of God we can be free

Chew 

From now on don’t sin

“They said to each other, “Weren’t our hearts burning within us while he was talking with us on the road and explaining the Scriptures to us?””
‭‭Luke‬ ‭24:32‬ ‭CSB‬‬

Two men traveling after the resurrection were discussing and arguing about all that had taken place. Jesus comes near and starts to walk with them. They are prevented from recognizing him. Jesus inquires about their conversation. They ask Jesus if he did not know what had just happened three days prior. They described to Jesus the crucifixion. They had hoped that the Messiah would be coming because it was the third day, and they hadn't seen him. 

 

Jesus stated that they were foolish and slow to believe. He explained that the crucifixion was necessary. 

 

They invited Jesus to stay with them. When Jesus became their host, and broke the bread. It was then they recognized Him. But Jesus was gone.

 

Their hearts were burning within them while He was talking and explaining the Scriptures to them. 

 

On this walk, Jesus

Allowed them to question the resurrection 

He let them chatter about the events.

He checked them on the belief. V26 

He explained the things concerning himself in all the Scriptures

He was invited but became the host

The breaking of bread was the eye opener

By the time they recognized Him. He was gone 

 

They realized the road was different when walking with Jesus.

 

Digest


Walk and talk with Jesus. You will feel the burn when you understand the Scriptures. God gave us the Holy Spirit to help us understand the Word.

Don't wait until it's too late to recognize Jesus. He will come and disappear with those that are His. 

 

Are you walking the road of life with Jesus?

Are you still “waiting on the messiah” of material things” ?

When you read the Word, do you get a fresh “burn” ? conviction, praise,excitement …

Can Jesus become the host in your house? (your temple)

“After this, when Jesus knew that everything was now finished that the Scripture might be fulfilled, he said, “I’m thirsty.” A jar full of sour wine was sitting there; so they fixed a sponge full of sour wine on a hyssop branch and held it up to his mouth. When Jesus had received the sour wine, he said, “It is finished.” Then bowing his head, he gave up his spirit.”

‭‭John‬ ‭19:28-30‬ ‭CSB‬‬

The sour wine was what the soldiers drank while they were waiting for the person to die.

.

Jesus receiving the sour wine fulfilled scripture.

“My strength is dried up like baked clay; my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth. You put me into the dust of death.”

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭22:15‬ ‭CSB‬‬

.

Finished -Before Jesus there had to be a priest to atone for the sin. Jesus was the final atonement for all of our sins. 

The system ended with Jesus. He paid in FULL. The full penalty for our sins which was death. The veil was torn giving us access to him both now and forever.

.

He bowed- He humbled himself to the point of death. Laid down his life on His own. 

.

“No one takes it from me, but I lay it down on my own. I have the right to lay it down, and I have the right to take it up again. I have received this command from my Father.””

Laid it down for His friends-

He gave up His spirit- submitted himself to death willingly?.

.

“Therefore I will give him the many as a portion, and he will receive the mighty as spoil, because he willingly submitted to death, and was counted among the rebels; yet he bore the sin of many and interceded for the rebels.”

“Into your hand I entrust my spirit; you have redeemed me, Lord, God of truth.”

There was a deathbed conversion. It’s never too late until it’s too late. 

.

The reward for him was heaven and it was immediate. Jesus said “Today”

.

The criminal said “Remember me”...Jesus said “You will be with me”

The criminal knew the awaited kingdom..Jesus promised him paradise.

.

Jesus gives paradise. Jesus is the only way to get to paradise.

 

““Let anyone who has ears to hear listen to what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who conquers, I will give the right to eat from the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God.”

‭‭Revelation‬ ‭2:7‬ ‭CSB‬‬

.

If you haven’t confessed and gave your life to Jesus..be like the criminal ask Him!

The Prayer Request 

“Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, because they do not know what they are doing.” And they divided his clothes and cast lots.”

‭‭Luke‬ ‭23:34‬ ‭CSB‬‬

.

Jesus is already on the cross with the 2 criminals beside him. He asks the Father to forgive his murderers. They were busy dividing his clothes and casting lots. He was interceding for them that they might be saved.

.

Forgive-to send away, to let go, depart

Jesus prayed out loud- Do you struggle with praying out loud?

There was no quiet place, no away spot 

.

His intercession was a fulfillment of scripture 

“Therefore I will give him the many as a portion, and he will receive the mighty as spoil, because he willingly submitted to death, and was counted among the rebels; yet he bore the sin of many and interceded for the rebels.”

‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭53:12‬ ‭CSB‬‬

.

He knew that His enemies were blind. He prayed for their twisted ignorant minds.

.

“A man is praised for his insight, but a twisted mind is despised.”

‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭12:8‬ ‭CSB‬‬

“Come to your senses and stop sinning; for some people are ignorant about God. I say this to your shame.”

‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭15:34‬ ‭CSB‬‬

.

Forgiveness is the beginning of the life of the soul with God.

.

The Answered Prayer 

.

God answered the prayer because through the death of Jesus was the wash of forgiveness of sin and salvation to His murders and the whole world.

.

The centurion eyes and mind was open. 

.

“So those who accepted his message were baptized, and that day about three thousand people were added to them.”

‭‭Acts‬ ‭2:41‬ ‭CSB‬‬

.

“But many of those who heard the message believed, and the number of the men came to about five thousand.”

‭‭Acts‬ ‭4:4‬ ‭CSB‬‬

.

Rescued from Wrath 

“and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead — Jesus, who rescues us from the coming wrath.”

‭‭1 Thessalonians‬ ‭1:10‬ ‭CSB‬‬

.

Hope for Eternal life

“so that, having been justified by his grace, we may become heirs with the hope of eternal life.”

‭‭Titus‬ ‭3:7‬ ‭CSB‬‬

 

The Example 

He interceded while dying, in suffering, in pain. Nothing should keep us from praying not even impending death 

.

The Command

Forgive and Pray

.

“But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,”

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭5:44‬ ‭CSB‬‬

.

“bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.

 

But love your enemies, do what is good, and lend, expecting nothing in return. Then your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High. For he is gracious to the ungrateful and evil.”

‭‭Luke‬ ‭6:28, 35‬ ‭CSB‬‬

.

“Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Give careful thought to do what is honorable in everyone’s eyes.”

‭‭Romans‬ ‭12:17‬ ‭CSB‬‬

 

.

Digest questions ?

Who is it that I see as the murders in my life?

The people that I feel don’t deserve my prayer time/

How is my prayer life? How often am I interceding selfless prayer?

 

What has today’s message taught me about my response to pain, agony and trials?

Where do I need to seek forgiveness from the Father for my ignorance?

“So humble yourselves before God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come close to God, and God will come close to you. Wash your hands, you sinners; purify your hearts, for your loyalty is divided between God and the world. Let there be tears for what you have done. Let there be sorrow and deep grief. Let there be sadness instead of laughter, and gloom instead of joy. Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up in honor.”

‭‭James‬ ‭4:7-10‬ ‭NLT‬‬

 

“So let God work his will in you. Yell a loud no to the Devil and watch him scamper. Say a quiet yes to God and he’ll be there in no time. Quit dabbling in sin. Purify your inner life. Quit playing the field. Hit bottom, and cry your eyes out. The fun and games are over. Get serious, really serious. Get down on your knees before the Master; it’s the only way you’ll get on your feet.”

‭‭James‬ ‭4:7-10‬ ‭MSG‬‬

 

Before your worship, your must wash. 

 

“Who may climb the mountain of the Lord? Who may stand in his holy place?”

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭24:3‬ ‭NLT‬

“Only those whose hands and hearts are pure, who do not worship idols and never tell lies.”

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭24:4‬ ‭NLT‬‬




It’s my hands... what have I done ?

The sin on our hands keeps us a distance from a God. 

Are you and God social distancing?

 

Drawing near brings conviction 

 

Washing your hands reminds you  to remove evil from your heart. 

 

You wash by repentance 

“When you lift up your hands in prayer, I will not look. Though you offer many prayers, I will not listen, for your hands are covered with the blood of innocent victims. Wash yourselves and be clean! Get your sins out of my sight. Give up your evil ways. Learn to do good. Seek justice. Help the oppressed. Defend the cause of orphans. Fight for the rights of widows.”

‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭1:15-17‬ ‭NLT‬‬

 

“Because we have these promises, dear friends, let us cleanse ourselves from everything that can defile our body or spirit. And let us work toward complete holiness because we fear God.

‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭7:1‬ ‭NLT‬‬

God will take you back.

‭‭Job‬ ‭22:23‬ ‭CSB‬‬

The parable of the lost son teaches us that God wants a relationship with us. He wants us to have eternal wealth.

.

“The younger son told his father, ‘I want my share of your estate now before you die.’ So his father agreed to divide his wealth between his sons.”

‭v.12

 

We like the son in this parable are wasteful. We are in a time of famine and chaos in our land and it's time to stop starving for attention, money and power, success relationships etc 

.

He got so hungry that pig food looked good.

We can't keep looking at what is pleasing to the eyes and the stomach. 

Even when it's something we know we shouldn’t have. 

What sin is looking good to you right now? and you know its pig food?

 

We must come to our senses v17 He remembers that there was an abundance back at the house.

We can go to the Father knowing the he promises blessing from obedience and there is no lack with God 

 

Humility is necessary. He recognized his sin and wanted to be a servant. He wanted a position in the house of God. 

Do you want a position in the kingdom of God 

 

V20. He returned back to his father after he decided that he was ready to admit his wrong v18

 

And the Father was waiting and watching 

He saw him coming 

The father was filled with love and compassion. 

He ran to his son, embraced him and kissed him.

V21 The son did what he had determined in his heart to do 

The father responds with a party 



You must see something is wrong
