Drink, Eat, Breath, and Be Jesus

 

There was a book that came out a couple of years ago titled, "eat, pray, love." The book was adapted into a film and the protagonist was played by Julia Roberts. Unfortunately, like most Hollywood films it depicted Eastern Spiritually, particularly Hinduism and Buddhism. The concept of "eat, pray, and love" however isn't without value. Inside every person is appetites. We have a desire to eat, to drink, to breed, to sleep, and for spiritual things. C.S. Lewis once said, "There has to be a God and heaven, for many craves to know God and to have eternal life, and every craving can be satisfied on this Earth, and so there must be an answer to the caving for eternity, only it is on the other side of life."

Daily we need to drink. Our bodies demand to be replinshed with water. In fact are brains are 89% water. But the drink we need more than this one is the Blood of Jesus. The Cup filled with His sacrificial love. The blood needs to pour into us, to cleanse us, to empower us, and to cover those parts of us that are still dry with dirt of sin. Then we need to eat, to feed on our Lord's bread, to as He said, "Just as the living Father sent me and I live because of the Father, so the one who feeds on me will live because of me." (John 6:57). The imagery can be a hurdle, but if our mouths, bodies, and spirit feed on Jesus Christ to live both now and for eternity!

We need to breath Jesus. Our words, are every breath needs to be His. For with each ill and idle word we draw people away from Him or we harm ourselves. Let the Breath of God fill you and chase away every vapor and vile thing. Finally love Jesus, and let His love flow from you. Let your cup overflow. For when we love God and love others as He commanded (Matthew 22:37-40) lives are lifted up and changed forever.

Finally, I say Be Jesus! Be Christ's hands and feet on Earth! (1 Corinthians 12:27). There are so many in need, so many who crave Christ's compassion and it can come from you! Let us as Christians not just be people of words, but also deeds! For there are many in deep peril.

With this all said I want to point you to an organization. Right now in Madagascar there are over 50,000 children roaming the streets. They have to sleep near traffic in tunnels and they are constantly preyed upon by monsters posing as men keeping many of them from full night of sleep, especially deep sleep. In Madagascar many of these children are kidnapped and they chopped up, their bodies and organs sold! (See Joyce Meyer's Hand of Hope Madagascar Episode). Oh my Good Lord! Imagine if that was your child, your son or daughter, your nephew or niece or a beloved children you care about! This barbarity and savagery still lives on and the only way to combat it is compassion and love! So please do something about it:

We need to Drink, Eat, Breath, and Be Jesus to the world around us. They need to see His hands, His face, and Feel his Touch. His Blood needs to run down us and wash those poor children who have never been clean a day in their lives. For they children need love, the love of God in you!

The Potrait of Jesus: What Christ Looked Like

What was Jesus’s appearance? Pseudo-historians at National Geographic and other publications argue that Jesus’ humanity was of Arab or African descent. This is impossible because Jesus our God was Son of David according to His flesh, “He promised beforehand through His prophets in the Holy Scriptures, regarding His Son, who was a descendant of David according to the flesh, and who through the Spirit of holiness was declared with power to be the Son of God by His resurrection from the dead: Jesus Christ our Lord (God),” (Romans 1:2-4), and King David was described as the following, “So he sent and brought him in. Now he was ruddy [red, ruddy, from the word admowniy {ad-mo-nee'}; from 'adam ; reddish of the hair or the complexion red, ruddy], with beautiful eyes and a handsome appearance. And the LORD said, "Arise, anoint him; for this is he. So Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the presence of his brothers, and from that day on the Spirit of the LORD came ...

Dispensationalism

John Nelson Darby (1800-1882) was a man who did two things, he took 70th week of the Book of Daniel and stretched out to the End Times, and he was the father of  Dispensationalism , a belief system that God dispenses different peoples with separate blessings and covenants. According to Darb'ys doctrine of Dispensationalism, God dispenses different covenants. There are total of seven dispensations that divide the history of man: I. Dispensation of Innocence (prior to the Fall, "Do not east of the Fruit of Good and Eve, Eden), II. Dispensation of Conscience ( You must assuage guilt and sin with blood sacrifices.) III. Dispensation of Human Government (Multiply and Subdue the world, example the Tower of Babel Gen 11:1-9, and Genesis 1:28). IV. Dispensation of the Promise (Dwell in Canaan, Jerusalem) V. Dispensation of the Law ("Obey the Law of Moses and the Prophets"). VI. Dispensation of Grace (The Church, Jesus Christ has come...

Orthodox Christianity and Messianic Judaism

There is a divide between the two sides of Christianity. One is lined by a rosary, the other with tallit (prayer shawl). In the west we tend to come from a Greco-Roman understanding of The Bible and Jesus Christ. We are saturated with images of the Crucifixion and see through the red lens of Calvary. Now The Messianic or Jewish perspective is becoming more prevalent as people begin to study the roots of the Christian faith. After all, Jesus was a Jew and his Twelve Disciples were all Jews of different sects and positions in society. By studying the Jewish roots of Jesus we come to understand the ancient customs, practices, rites, and traditions that are featured in the Old and New Testaments. We learn in Jewish tradition that a Rabbi had to be ordained by two rabbis and that when Jesus was asked, "by who's authority do you say these things?, (Luke 20:2)" the Pharisees were asking who had ordained Jesus and where he got his yoke (teachings), and Jesus responds, "wh...
