Just A Touch.

Matthew 9:18-30, Ecclesiastes 3:14-15, 6, 12:15; 1 Samuel 22; Job 9; Matthew 12:15-21

We are walking in today:  Just A Touch.

Matthew 9:18-30 18 While he was saying this, a synagogue leader came and knelt before him and said, “My daughter has just died. But come and put your hand on her, and she will live.” 19 Jesus got up and went with him, and so did his disciples. 20 Just then a woman who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak. 21 She said to herself, “If I only touch his cloak, I will be healed.” 22 Jesus turned and saw her. “Take heart, daughter,” he said, “your faith has healed you.” And the woman was healed at that moment. 23 When Jesus entered the synagogue leader’s house and saw the noisy crowd and people playing pipes, 24 he said, “Go away. The girl is not dead but asleep.” But they laughed at him. 25 After the crowd had been put outside, he went in and took the girl by the hand, and she got up. 26 News of this spread through all that region. 27 As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed him, calling out, “Have mercy on us, Son of David!” 28 When he had gone indoors, the blind men came to him, and he asked them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” “Yes, Lord,” they replied. 29 Then he touched their eyes and said, “According to your faith let it be done to you”; 30 and their sight was restored.

At the right timing, Just a Touch

Not at the right time, but at the right timing because I want His TOUCH and guidance to forever be, before me!! I want His touch to forever be in the PRESENT AND FUTURE of my life with Him. As He continuously disciples’ me,  I have to know that everything HE DOES will endure forever, I have to know that nothing can be added to HIS DOING and nothing can be taken away.

I have to know that: Ecclesiastes 3:15 Whatever is, has already been, and what will be, has been before; and God will call the past to account.

At this point in my study with Him I have to know that situations I am in and promises He gives will forever be with me. This is my assurance that where He is leading is Truth to me.

Knowing that this is from Him is UNDERSTANDING for me, knowing that this is from Him is WISDOM for me, Knowing that this is from Him, is great KNOWLEDGE to me.

And so His word tells me;

Ecclesiastes 3:14-15 Life Lesson

14 I know that everything God does will endure forever; nothing can be added to it and nothing taken from it. God does it so that people will fear him. (this is real personal for me)!!!15 Whatever is, has already been, and what will be, has been before; and God will call the past to account.

In this chapter

Situation: the author gives insights on values, He encourage the reader to use time wisely by making the right choices.

The central principle of all personal organization of time is simple. Time must be budgeted.

When time is in limited supply, one must sit down a make some wise choices concerning it, we must really learn to budget our time.

The disorganized person must have a budgeting perspective, and that means determining the difference between the fixed, what one must do and the discretionary, what one would like to do.

It is said that one of the greatest tests of human character is found in making critical choices of selection and rejection amidst all of the opportunities that lurk in life’s path. Your challenges will not be in separating out the good from the bad, but in grabbing the best out of all the possible good.

Max Lucado says that indeed he had learn, sometimes the hard way, that he had to say NO to things he really wanted to do, in order to say YES to the very best things.

Taking that counsel seriously means saying an occasional NO to certain events.

If we are to command our time, we would have to bite the bullet and  say a firm but courteous no to opportunities that are good but not the best.

Earlier in the year, there was a statement in my studies, that said the best just got better, how do we think that came or will come about?  Through at the right timing, Just a Touch.  Now your “just a touch” could be anything, it could be the example given about the 2 blind men seeing, it could be knowing God better, it could be touching the hem of His garment, it could be an in depth study of your Hebrews roots.  We need to dig deeper to see what is our “just a touch” at the right timing.

Once again that demands, as it did in the ministry of our Lord, and Savior, Jesus The Christ of Nazareth, a sense of our mission. What are we called to do? What do we do best with our time? What are the necessities without which we cannot get along? Everything else has to be considered negotiable, discretionary, not necessary.

God really wants us to reflect on our use of our time. What activities require more time than they are worth? What relationships can use a bigger time investment? After you reevaluate your schedule, reorganize it so that it accurately reflects your priorities.


Ecclesiastes 6

Situation: Although people cannot fully understand all of God’s Plans, the author of Ecclesiastes believed they could find God’s Goodness.

Observation: no one can study all the ways of God. However, by studying the Bible and His Creation, we can serve Him and find fulfillment in our work.

Knowing all this we realize that God’s order of events is inscrutable, much as you want to make it out, you cannot do so.  For the truth is that God in His wisdom, to make and keep us humble and to teach us to walk by faith, has hidden from us almost everything that we should like to know about the providential  purposes, which He is working out in the churches and in our lives.

So to keep us humble and to teach us to walk by faith He has hidden His divine foresight, His divine intervention which He is working out in the churches and in our lives, so we have to keep pushing toward what He has called us to do and we have to manage the time in order to get to where He is leading us TO BE.


So what He is doing in the churches and in our lives at this point? He is allowing favorable time to occur, a most opportune time to occur, involving divine foresight or intervention, by Him.

We just have to know when He is moving and know exactly what He is doing. We have to pay attention to our surroundings a little more.


Less look up the phrase “TO BE”

Acronym, Definition. To Be Determined. To Be Defined. To Be Decided. To Be Done. To Be Developed. To Be Discussed.

So we have been determined, we have been defined, we have been decided upon, we are being developed, and I know for certain we are being discussed about, and you know what I am excited about it.!!!!

I know that this is  happening at a most providential time, a most favorable time, a most opportune time, so I have seized the moment family.  You have to seize this moment. This is our Appointed Time, if we grab a hold of what He is doing!

To Be- to have identity with

To Be- to equal in

To Be- to have a specified qualification or characterization

To Be- to have an objective existence : have reality or actuality

To Be -to have, maintain, or occupy a place, situation, or position

BECAUSE

Ecclesiastes 3:14-15

14 I know that everything God does will endure forever; nothing can be added too it and nothing taken from it. God does it so that people will fear him. 15 Whatever is, has already been, and what will be has been before; and God will call the past to account.

The word account as a Noun:


God will call the past to report, to be reported, God will call the past to be recorded, God will call the past to history,

**God will call the past to be explained.

God will call the past to be of importance,  God will call the past to be noted, God will call the past to be a benefit, God will call the past to be used, God will call the past to be  profited, God will call the past  to be of  worth,  God will call the past  to be  honoured, God will call the past to be of  substance,  God will call the past to be of significance, God will call the past to be esteemed, God will call the past  to be  usefulness,


The word Account as a verb

=  God will call the past  to be consider, God will call the past to be valued, God will call the past to be  believed , God will call the past to be  weighed,  God will call the past to be calculated, God will call the past, to be  regarded as.

Understanding Backwards, in order to understand moving forward

We can be sure that the God who made this marvelously complex world, order and who compassed the great redemption from Egypt and later compassed the even greater redemption from sin and satan, knows what He is doing and “doeth all things well,” even if for the moment He hides His hand. We can trust Him and rejoice in Him even when we cannot discern His path.

While we are still alive, invest your time, in projects and people for a heavenly purpose, for His Kindgdom Purposes.

Because we want them to know that within the Torah is God’s principles, that causes us to proper through Him, not through man’s laws, or man’s principles. “THE TANAKH (THE OLD TESTAMENT) uses various words to refer to GOD’S instructions for His people”.

These words, FAMILY, causes us to prosper spiritually, physically, financially, and emotionally.

We have to be stable in all of these areas, because that is what God, the Father of Abraham, Issac, and Jacob requires of us, and in order to reach these goals He has set for us, we have to have, AT THE RIGHT TIMING.   “ JUST A TOUCH”


*****WITH OUR FINANCIAL STATE:

AND THIS IS WHAT HOLY SPIRIT TOLD ME, SO I AM TALKING ABOUT ME AND IF IT APPLYS, TAKE HEED TO IT, IT IS PRUDENT, IN OTHER WORDS IT IS WISE DECISION MAKING:

 He says to me:  through Max Lucado Words:  LUCINDA, when we discovered THAT we  rarely have enough money to do all the things we wanted to do with it, we SHOULD FIND IT,   prudent (WISE) “to sit down and think through our financial priorities, when money is limited, Lucinda when money is limited,  one budgets.

AT THE RIGHT TIMING.   “ JUST A TOUCH”

AT THE RIGHT TIMING, JUST A TOUCH OF GOD’S OBEDIENCE 1 Samuel 22, AT THE RIGHT TIMING, JUST A TOUCH OF THE WISDOM OF GOD Job 9, AT THE RIGHT TIMING, JUST A TOUCH OF KNOWING JESUS  WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT Matt. 12:15-21.

AT THE RIGHT TIMING.   “ JUST A TOUCH”  (Wisdom , Knowledge and Understanding)

AFTER I READ THE BOOK

Ecclesiastes 12:13

New International Version (NIV)

13 Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the duty of all mankind.

We seal this prayer in the precious blood of Jesus of Nazareth, the only Begotten of the Heavenly Father and by the Holy Spirit:  Thank You Adonai for just a touch at the right time!
