We are walking in today:  Five Smooth Stones--Leviticus, The Offerings


Thank You Adonai for giving us a teaching this morning on offerings.  Giving us the understanding to why and where we are missing the mark.  That we would be drawn back to focus on the righteousness and holiness of the Almighty God.  That we would not be tempted to follow other gods nor do the things that the heathens do for them.  He alone is the only wonderful, mighty and awesome God!  There is none like unto Him!  He is so gracious to tell us how to come before Him to remember the covenants He has with us.  That we go before Him, with burnt, grain, fellowship, sin and guilt offerings.  Fiveamprayer Elohim is looking for us to come before Him with what He has provided us, to worship and seek His presence.  The items offered with the sacrifices are also of note as well all meat sacrifices always with salt.  Salt was used often as a symbol of friendship, the alter is the table of the Lord. 
We are to be living sacrifices--fiveamprayer are you living your life pleasing unto Almighty God?  Does your life give a pleasing aroma of praise unto Him?!  We have to study, learn and know what we are expected by Yahweh to do.  Stand on the principles of Yahweh, His Torah, His teaching and instruction.  There are clear things to do and things not to do with results either good or bad in our lives--we get to choose!  When we choose to prescribe to the wrong choices we have to live out that consequence.  Make that change and take the correction!!!  Deuteronomy 30:19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live.  Wake up fiveamprayer, there is more to this blessed in the city and blessed in the field from Deuteronomy 28:3.  Keep reading there is also Deuteronomy 28:16 Cursed shalt thou be in the city, and cursed shalt thou be in the field.  Cursed?  Well that can't be right or is it?  Elohim set before us blessing and cursing and even tells us to choose life that we and our descendants would live!  Is that what we see for so many people these days?!  You don't have to look very far to see that many are not living life, did they unaware choose the curse instead of the blessing? A careful reading of Deuteronomy 28 will give some insight of where your choices have placed you.  Not attacks of others more often than not, but you.  This is why going back to the beginning is so important!!  Hebrews 5:12 For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.  Fiveamprayer we have the pattern, the mirror of what we are to look like--James 1:22-24 22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. 23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: 24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.  Those who are not being doers of His word forget what manor of person were!  We have to go back to get the understanding, that we would remember why we do what we do or better yet why we would not do the things that we are told not to do.  Having His commandments allows us to stand on a solid foundation to know good and right things to do to be able to truly say, expect and receive being blessed in the city and in the field.  Study to show thyself approved!  To hear this message again click here.
