#Dinah,#Destiny,#Truth

I had the privilage to attend a service this morning for a womens meeting.  The lesson was taught by the Pastor, a male.  His subject was about Jacobs only daughter, Dinah.  He brought out some points that blessed my soul.

For example, Dinah was Jacobs only daughter.  When Jacob's sons were born, their mother, Leah, proclaimed a blessing from The Lord for each of them.  But when Dinah was born, she did not mentioned her a being a blessing from The Lord.  I could have been many reasons for this.  The Pastor brought out how it could have been because having sons was considered a blessing.  It could have been because Leah knew the plight of a female and having  daughter reminded her of that.

The scripture goes on to say how Dinah left her kingdom to go see the daughters of the land (Genesis 34:1).  There could have been many reasons why Dinah left the kingdom.  But in the world, she was found of the man Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite.  The Bible says he took her, and  defiled her.  Here in is the first mention of the 'soul tie'.   It could be said the man saw the pureness in her since she was from the kindgom and that is what drew him to her.  Dinah felll for his talk and lost the 'light' that shown from her because she was from the kingdom.

The man went to the extreem of talkng Dinah's father and asking him for her hand in marriage.  The man did not ask Dinah.

When Jacob heard of the relationshp, he waited for his sons to come in.  It was said that maybe Jacob could not say anything because he too was a trickster.  But, Dinah did not belong outside of the kingdom.    Dinah's relationship with Schecem cost her.  When Jacobs sons did come home, they heard about what was going on with their sister.  The went after her to bring her back home.

Dinah's brothers made this statment to validate what they did.  In Genesis 34:31  the following is recorded, "And they said, Should he del with our sister as with an harlot?"

Dinah's brothers avenged the wrong that was done to her.  What can be learned from this?  STAY IN THE KINGDOM!!!!!  Don't leave the kingdom looking for anything.  The Lord will supply all your need according to His riches in glory.

#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...
