WERE LOVING GOD AND LOVING THE FAMILY OF GOD !!!!! FOR FRIDAY JANUARY 31: EXODUS 28 - 29, ACTS 7 FOR SATURDAY FEBRUARY 1: EXODUS 30 - 32, ACTS 8 FOR SUNDAY FEBRUARY 2: EXODUS 33 - 35, ACTS 9 NOTE: THIS WEEKEND, WE WILL READ ABOUT : OLD TESTAMENT: God gives the design and directions for the garments for the Priesthood. Aharon and his sons are anointed, inaugurated, and consecrated according to Gods instructions. Adonai says, The office of Cohen (Priest) is to be theirs by a permanent regulation. The census, offerings and timeframe for the offerings are explained. Adonai gives instructions for The altar of Incense, The Ransom (atonement) offering from the people, the Bronze lavers (for the Priests personal washing of hands and feet) and the ingredients for the Holy Anointing Oil !! Adonai said, I have singled out Btzalel (Bezalel) and have FILLED HIM WITH THE SPIRIT OF GOD, with wisdom, understanding, and knowledge concerning every kind of artisanry. Also, I have appointed his assistant, Oholiav (Aholiab). Moreover, I have endowed all the craftsmen with the wisdom to make everything I have ordered you (to do)! Adonai also gave Btzalel and Oholiav the ability to teach others. In Moses absence, the people murmured and convinced Aharon to craft a golden calf . Adonai KNEW !!! what they were doing and told Moses to get down from the mountain. Moses interceded for the children of Israel, asking God not to destroy them. Throwing down the tablets and shattering them, Moses then melted the calf in the fire and ground it to powder which he scattered on the water - then he made the children of Israel drink it. They had gotten out of control. 3,000 souls were slain in their disobedience. Moses received replacement tablets from Adonai. Moses was on the mountain, in Gods Presence, for 40 days and 40 nights and had neither food nor water during that time. Moses began to wear a veil in the peoples presence because his face sent out rays of light and shown brightly. NEW TESTAMENT: As Stephen, one of the Seven, is before the Sanhedrin (The Jewish Religious Court) answering to the charge of Blasphemy, he recounts the history of The children of God, when asked if he committed blasphemy. What the Sanhedrin heard from Stephen cut them to their hearts and they began grind their teeth at him. Stephen, FULL OF THE RUACH HAKODESH looked up, saw an OPEN HEAVEN, and Gods (Shkhinah) Shekinah and Yeshua (Jesus) standing at the right hand of God. Too much for the Sanhedrin to bear, they began yelling to prevent hearing him and they rushed Stephen, taking him outside the city and began stoning him. The witnesses laid their coats down at the feet of a young man named SAUL. Stephen called out, Lord Yeshua, receive my spirit. Kneeling down, Stephen shouted, Lord dont hold this sin against them. Stephen died. Saul had approved the killing of Stephen. After the martyrdom of Stephen, persecution of believers increased . God uses Philip mightily and he is sent to the Ethiopian to explain the scriptures and baptize him. When they come out of the water, The Spirit of the Lord whisks Phillip away and he was later seen in Ashdod (Azotus). The Ethiopian went on his way, full of joy. Saul was still menacing with murderous threats against the apostles, and received a letter of authority, from the High Priest. On the road to Damascus, he saw a light from Heaven, and fell to the ground. The Lord spoke to Saul, and now blind, Saul was directed to Ananias. Ananias was directed to Straight Street, to Saul. When Ananias laid hands on Saul, the scales fell from his eyes and he was filled with the Ruach Hakodesh (Holy Spirit). God uses Peter to heal Aeneas who was bedridden for 8 years and paralyzed, and to raise Tavita (Tabitha) to life from death. (P.U.S.H) pray until something happens folks - dont give up, dont quit. Jesus didnt quit on us. Dont quit on your faith in HIM. Shalom !!! PUSH THROUGH TO THE BREAKTHROUGH.
