#Good Friday,#Church,#The Passover,#Traditions of Men,#Easter

The world says today is Good Friday.  I am not sure where that came from as I can not find the term in the Bible.  In Isaiah 1:14 the Word says, "your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble unto me, I am weary to bear them."

I am beginning to understand why the Lord hates man made days.  For man made days can make a person do what the Word of God can not.  God says, "Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another; and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching" (10:25).  In other words, the Bible says we are to assemble together and even the more so as we see the Word being fulfilled.  Going to Church should be done every week as often as possible.  Every time, time is set aside for the believers to gather, the believers should gather.  But, more and more 'believers' are not gathering like they use to.

However, Easter Sunday, Churches will be full.  People will be dressed in new cloths, hats, matching hand bags and shoes....for Easter.  But, will the same people make preparations on a weekly basis to attend worship services?  The Word of God says we should, not Easter.  Easter is able to get people to do what the Word of God can not......go to Church.

Easter is mentioned in the Bible only one time (Acts 12:4).  It is not mentioned in the first four books of the New Testament.  Then in I Corinthians 5:7,8  it says, "Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened.  For Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us: Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness: but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.'

"Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth."  Isaiah 1:14

#Run the Race Right,#Win,

Many start, but do not finish. Many once ran well, but now have allowed that which is contrary to scripture to run their lives. The scriptures bear this out in Galatians chapter three. "O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, " Galatians 3:1 "Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye n ow made perfect by the flesh?" Galatians 3:3 The Lord is calling the roll. Are you ready? Revelations 16:15  "Behold, I come as a thief.  Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame." steadfastapostolic.com

#Call Jesus,#Cry out,#Jesus, Deliverer

If you call Jesus right, he will hear you and come see about you.  Ask blind Bartimaeus. The scriptures says in St. Mark 10:46-52 that Jesus, His disciples and a great number of people were leaving Jericho.  Blind Bartimaeus heard that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by.  Blind Bartimaeus could not see.  He did not know what Jesus looked like.  He only knew what he heard. Blind Bartimaeus began to cry out to Jesus, "Jesus, thou son of David have mercy on me".  When the people tried to stop him, he cried out the more so, "Thou son of David, have mercy on me".  He did no let people keep him from calling on the Lord.  He must have heard about the miracles, healing, deliverance that took place at the hand of the Lord. Jesus heard the cry of Blind Bartimaeus.  It was the sound of the cry that revealed to the Lord that Blind Bartimaeus was calling out in a blind state, but yet believing something would happen if he could get the attention of Je...

#A Lot of Singing,#Shouting,#Tongue Talking,#Playing

Music was one of the things that drew me to want to go to Church when I was not saved.   I use to love to hear and 'feel' the spirit of the songs.  Back then, the singers would sing unto the Lord.  They were not paid to sing.  They were not seeking recording contracts.  They would sing unto the Lord.  The would sing about the Lord.  So, when one went to hear the singers, your soul got touched whether you wanted it to or not. I can remember going to the Holiness Churches.  The praise was different too.  When the Saints praised God back then, it was real.  When the Saints did dance 'in the Spirit', it was real.  You could feel it.  There was always this 'presence' in the Holiness Church that I could not explain....then.  But that presence kind of held you captive, whether you wanted it o or not.  And, sometimes Church would go on for hours, but no one cared.  And, if one of the Saints said something to you that t...
