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?

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.”
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
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!

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.
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.

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 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!!

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
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
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
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

Zerubbabel would need supernatural strength from the Spirit.

Zechariah was given a vision that he couldn't understand. So he asked for an explanation.
Zerubbabel was a civic leader responsible to finish the work of rebuilding the temple, he needed encouragement.

Our most valuable resource is the Holy Spirit
Maybe small in man's eyes, but BIG with God
God wanted Zerubbabel to know the Spirit would give him what he needed .
small - young, insignificant, unimportant.
He gives the resources to began and finish the WORK

“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.

“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.”

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.”
