Pastor Advises Migrant Workers: Union with Jesus Wherever you Are

Their beliefs and values don’t always line up with ours, but their need for safety is more than real. Matthew 4:7: “It is also written; Do not put the Lord your God to the test”.

The Word of God confirms this in Isaiah 26:3, “You will keep him in flawless peace, whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you”.

“Come”, he replied, “and you will see”. He knew what the Father had sent Him to accomplish and He simply spent his days going about that work. It was about four in the afternoon.

Peter, James and John met God on the Mount of Transfiguration. His friends bring him to Jesus to be healed. He saw Philip invite Nathaniel to come away to meet Jesus, the Messiah. “You will be called Cephas” (which, when translated, is Peter). We neither add to God’s word or take from it. Bible study at 10:00 and Worship at 11:00. We are not saved because we life His moral teaching. Thank You for sending Jesus as our example. How will you approach Him?

These disciples were smart.

When Jesus was born, the one true living God became a human in the person of Jesus. That is why it’s important to know what is in the Bible, so we can be like Jesus. If not for staying with Him, they would not have made the confession that they had seen the Messiah. When we receive the life of Christ through the Holy Spirit, He unites us with God so that His love is demonstrated in us.

Keeping a clear and compelling vision of God in the midst of pressure is the key to overcoming life’s pressures.

Even so, I know it’s not always easy to determine exactly what Jesus would do. Be prepared. You may find yourself doing some unexpected things. Most ancient cultures were polytheistic, i.e. having a myriad of gods which they worshipped. In the world you face persecution. I go to be encouraged.

Simple, right? In fact, I used to think it was overly simplistic, since there are a lot of things we don’t have explicit information about “what Jesus would do”. Satan knows that if he can keep us from dedicating ourselves to prayer, he hardly needs to do anything else. Along the way, one word seems to guide the conversation – fear. Maybe that is why many of us tend to limit our time for God to one or two hours on Sundays.

This means that we are with Jesus through baptism. “The lamb of God!”

He understands what tempts us, because he knows what pleases the Lord. In the first reading, God tells Abram to leave his homeland and go to a land God will give him – and “I will make of you a great nation”. God is with us and because He is, we can live in peace when the world is in turmoil. If we aren’t with him, we sink into corruption.

Satan wants you to think we are all God’s children but we are not.

Psalm 105:4 tells us, “Seek the LORD and his strength; seek his presence continually!” Neither of them drank the water of that well, and she left with her jar empty to the city.

Of course, I’m no Al Mohler, but try as I might I can’t envision Jesus giving the official okey-dokey to his most ardent (but most misguided followers) to draw even more unwanted attention to transgender kids, whose only desire is to pee in private. He deals with the main thing and then covers what they asked for too.

“The agnostic of good will asked the believer, ‘But how can I. for me, the problem is how Christ is God”. Being a new creation is a change in our very being wrought only by the sovereign grace of God.

He could say and do these things because He truly was God in human flesh.

Elijah also met God on a mountain. We stand by God’s mercy. Quite a change from chanting to a stone idol. God sees and knows you. So know that, wherever you are, if you believe in Him and invite him in, He will be with you. He will talk to you and wake you up in the morning. I am the vine, you are the branches.

At the Lord’s baptism His Father spoke from heaven and said, “This is My Son in whom I am well pleased”. “Jesus, who though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God…but made himself nothing…he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross”.

Judaism was a breakthrough as the one true living God initiated communication with Abraham and promised to bless the world through him.
