God is Waiting For Our Prayers, PMs, Texts, and Instagrams


Jesus is waiting for our prayers. Just as we wait for package or mail (email these days) from people we love, so Jesus waits for our prayers. Obviously prayer isn't just a request line, though Jesus hears our requests, our prayers are to communicate with Christ. Just as we get excited about facebook or twitter containing those highlighted red symbols telling us we have comments, likes, and other communique, so it is with our Lord. He wants to hear from us, He died on cross to reconcile us to Him, so we can "Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need." (Hebrew 4:16). Our prayers are a sweet incense before God, "And the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, rose up before God from the hand of the angel." (Revelation 8:4) and He delights in responding in moment of our prayer, afterwards, or sometimes we preempts us and knowing our hearts and minds (1 Samuel 16:7) answers before we can ask (Matthew 9:4). Don't you enjoy getting texts, Instagram photos, pins on Pin interest, responses on Forums, commenting on facebook, phone calls, and more? Well so does the One True Trinity God who has paid for more than data, and cellular service, He sent his Son Jesus Christ to die for our connection service!

God does not begrudge our time spent talking to friends, neighbors, and other people. But the commands are, "" (Matthew 22:36-40). The Lord wants to hear from us, to connect, communicate, and converse just as much as we do with people. I wonder if in Heaven, the Trinity has mail box (like picture) or angel with super advanced tablet, and waits for pings, text messages, private messages, and more from us? I know I am sad when I log on to facebook and there is no activity, no red sign of anyone taking notice or saying hi to me, how much more so for God who bled for us, died for us, and suffered humiliation for us, taking our sin away and keep us from hell? Jesus doesn't want to be shelved tell Sunday or only get Birthday card on Easter, He wants to be involved in your life, share your pictures, joys, sorrows, and talk into night. Much harm has been done by people who taught that God only hangs out in church buildings, He is everywhere and He made everything (John 1:3, Colossians 1:16). Jesus goes on walks with you and enjoys the Creation He made, or a boat adventure, or even to a movie, He may even speak to you through movie! Don't forget to PM the Prince of Peace and Messiah or forget to Text the Trinity. He wants to chat, and loves you so much. He put your gifts, talents, skills, and interests in you, so talk them out with Him. He enjoys when you enjoy other people too, so don't think He's into hermit thing (although we do have our seasons of hermiting lol). Remember that He loves you and wants to be with you, and that means hearing from you. So when make time to PM Jesus just as you do other people during day, and listen for His response you know those ... and then ping.

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...
