Our Father

Yesterday I embarked upon a 40-day total fast. Like Moses upon the mount when he received the commandments. Like Elijah when he ran from Jezebel to God's protection. Like Jesus/Yeshua before he entered his earthly ministry. I spend these 40 days in the face of God, running from the world's imprint on me to His design for me, before beginning my earthly ministry. What you will find during this time period are snippets from my fasting journal. May they enlighten you and lead you to The Truth.

And he said unto them "When ye pray, say 'Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth. Give us day by day our daily bread. And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil.' "

Luke 11:2-4 KJV (Reese Chronological Bible (c) 1977)

If we pay close attention to this model prayer that Jesus/Yeshua taught his followers we will note that we are asking Our Father (God) to give, forgive, and deliver.

Give. Because God owns everything, not me. I own nothing.

Forgive. Because I am imperfect. I am a lesser being making a request of the Greatest Being.

Deliver. Because I need a carrier to get me from here back to heaven.

Give, Forgive, Deliver: actions of God.

Let The Truth be told,

Gye

The Kingdom of Heaven #1

The Kingdom of Heaven is like yeast
that a woman took
and mixed in three measures of flour
until all of it was leavened!
Matthew 13:33 NRSV

How much is three measures?
According to those who know more about measurements than I, three measures is about 23 liters - 2/3 bushel.

How much yeast does it take to make it all leavened?
The amount of yeast has not been distinguished, but those who bake bread know that it only takes a small amount of yeast to make the dough rise.

Imagine that!
It only takes a little bit to impact largely.
What impact do you make on others?
Has anyone ever smiled at you and it changed your day from sour to sweet?
What is it that you do that impacts others?
Are you the yeast or the flour?
Be yeast.

Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts,
Gye
