Outside!


‘Outside.’
Hebrews 13:11-13.
a)     Hebrews 13:11. For the bodies of those animals whose blood is brought into the Sanctuary by the High Priest as a sacrifice for sin are burned outside the camp. 
b)    Hebrews 13:12. Jesus also suffered outside the City Gate in order to sanctify the people with His Own Blood.
c)     Hebrews 13:13. Let us go to Jesus outside the camp and bear the abuse He endured.
(This QT reminds me that a part of my time is to be Outside the camp, bearing the abuse that Jesus endured)

‘One New Humanity Living In Peace.’
Ephesians 2:15.
a)     In His Flesh, Jesus has abolished the Commandments and Ordinances.
b)    Jesus has created in Himself one humanity, in place of the Jew and Gentile.
c)     Jesus has made Peace.
(I thank God that, through the Cross, Jesus has made One New Humanity Living In Peace. It is only through the Cross that we can experience Peace)
-------- 
Chris.

The bodies of the animals burned for Sacrifice in the Old Testament days were burned outside the camp. The interior of the camp, the place for Worship and the dwelling places were always kept as clean as possible. To keep inside clean was not just a duty, it was the desire of God’s People to be clean both inside and outside. If we, today, are God’s People, we should surely have the same desire.

Egypt's People Led Her Astray!


‘Egypt’s People Led Her Astray.’
Isaiah 19:11-14.
a)     Isaiah 19:11. The Princes of Zoan are utterly foolish and the wise counsellors of Pharaoh give stupid counsel. They foolishly and proudly tell Pharaoh that they are special people.
b)    Isaiah 19:12. These Princes and counsellors could not tell Pharaoh what the Lord had planned for Egypt.
c)     Isaiah 19:13. These Princes and cornerstones of Egypt became foolish and deluded. They led the people of Egypt astray.
d)    Isaiah 19:14. The Lord poured into Egypt a spirit of confusion and perverseness so that the people and the Nation became like a drunkard staggering around.
(This QT shows me how Egypt’s People Led Her Astray, it seems that, until today Egypt is filled with confusion and pain)
------- 
‘It Reads Well Both Ways.’
Galatians 6:2.
a)     As True Believers we are to bear one another’s burdens.
b)    Way #1. In this way we will fulfil the Law of Christ.
c)     Way #2. In this way fulfil the Law of Christ.
(In this Second one It Reads Well Both Ways)
------- 
Chris.
We need to Pray, not only for the Leaders of our Nations, but we should also Pray for their Advisors. These Advisors in Egypt at this time were stupid, foolish and proud. For people like this to be advising the Leader of a Nation is quite dangerous for the wellbeing of the people of that Nation. Yes, pray for the Leaders and their Advisors.


In The Lord!


‘In The Lord!

‘A Big If.’
Galatians 5:18.

b)   We are led by the Holy Spirit.

(This Second one is A Big If)
------ 
Chris.

Be strong in the Lord! The Bible does not encourage True Believers to be strong in their own flesh, it does however, encourage us to be strong in the Lord. It is through Faith, Prayer, Bible Truth and the indwelling Holy Spirit that we can be strong in the Lord.

(Through this Second one I take heed: Do Not Fall From Grace)
----- 
Chris.
There is a possibility that a True Believer can fall from Grace if they live by a system of Biblical Laws. These Laws may be the Laws of the Old Testament or they may be man-made “laws” from the New Testament. Whenever we merely follow a system of laws then we fall from Grace)

Chris.

There are many people in the UK who are now losing heart because of unemployment. These people need the Intercessors to Pray for them because the outlook is very bleak at this time. It seems that the rich get richer and the poor get poorer, as in the days of Robin Hood. Intercession can and does change Nations in the ways that God wants to change them.

------ 
Chris.
There is great benefit if we belong to a Church or Christian Fellowship where there is good Bible Teaching. Jesus began His earthly Ministry with Teaching. He spent so much time putting Teaching input to the Disciples. The early Church also had Bible Studies and Teaching initiated by the Apostles. There is great benefit from good Teaching.
