The Time Of Reformation!



‘The Time Of Reformation.’
Hebrews 9:10.
a)      Worshippers in the Old Testament Days had to consider:-
1-      Clean and unclean meats and drinks.
2-     Different washings.
3-     External rules.
4-    Regulations.
b)      Then came the Time of Reformation, a complete new order, established by Christ.
c)       This was a better Covenant. A New Covenant.
(Through this QT I understand The Time Of Restoration)

‘Apostle Paul Needed To Be Bold.’
2 Corinthians 11:21-29.
a)      2 Corinthians 11:21. He was bold even in weakness.
b)      2 Corinthians 11:22. Paul was:-
1-A Hebrew.
2-An Israelite.
3-Seed of Abraham.
c)       2 Corinthians 11:23. Even as a Minister of Christ, Paul:-
1-      Worked hard.

3-     Shipwrecked.
4-    Adrift on the sea.

6-    Was in peril in the city.
7-     Was in peril in the wilderness.
8-     Was in peril from the sea.

2-     Painfulness.

4-    Hunger.
5-     Thirst.
6-    Fastings.
7-     Cold.
8-     Nakedness.
h)      2 Corinthians 11:28. Paul had the burden of daily care for the Churches.
i)        2 Corinthians 11:29. Paul was weak when he knew about other Believers’ weaknesses and he burned on the inside when Believers were led away into sin.
(I really can clearly see by this Second one that Apostle Paul Needed To Be Bold)

Chris.
No one enjoys sleeplessness. It means although we want to sleep we cannot. That is a very difficult thing to suffer. Usually, although I sleep lightly, I also sleep easily and quickly. I regard this pattern as a Blessing from God. When I hear of sleepless people I am moved with compassion for them because it is so difficult to live like that.
