Part 1 Messiah Revealed In The Garments Of The High Priest

The Lord Jesus gave Himself as The Sacrificial Lamb of GOD and He is still giving of Himself in His office of Great High Priest as He intercedes for His people. ( Hebrews 7:25) The 7 garments of the High Priest as ordained by GOD are listed in Exodus 28, each of which speak to us of our Beautiful Saviour The Lord Jesus Christ. Today's devotion on LifeCom Radio is part one of this message as we look at the significance of each of the garments of the High Priest.

Finish The Race Set Before Us

In the Christian walk of faith, there is no such thing as standing still. We are either moving forwards or backwards. Stephen died, surrounded by intense hatred, with his eyes fixed on the glory of The LORD Jesus Christ. See Acts 7:55-56. In
2 Corinthians 3:18 we read how we are transformed into the same image of Messiah as we gaze upon him. We become what we constantly behold. May we become a mirror to this world of The Living GOD of glory. We will be rejected by those who have rejected Him, but as we keep our gaze fixed on Him, and
not those who revile us, The Holy Spirit will enable us to finish the race set before us as individuals. Good intentions will not get us to the finish line. We need to be in relationship with our LORD Jesus walking with Him each day, each step of the road.

Before The Face Of GOD.

Living before the face of GOD - Coram Deo. We each live every second of our lives before The LORD our Creator. Nothing is hidden from Him. To live as if He does not exist is practical atheism. To live before Him in reverence, the fear of The LORD is to love Him and to never want to would His heart, and to kiss His face in worship as the most Precious One in all eternity, my Saviour and Justification through His own blood. To live before Him in rebellion and as if He is non existent is the life of a fool and without repentance means to face Him as Eternal Judge.

Innocent Blood Shed Defiles The Land.mp3

Deuteronomy 21:1-9 is a profound expression of communal accountability for the shedding of innocent human blood near to their own towns, reverence for human life and submission to Divine Justice. Innocent blood defiles the land (see Numbers 35:33) and bloods cry out (see Genesis 4:10 NB blood here is plural, bloods, speaking not only of Abel's blood but that of his potential descendants cut off in his being murdered). Messiah Himself has taken our punishment for our sins. When we have hated someone we have committed murder in our hearts(1 John 3:15) The unyoked heifer was seen as undefiled. The unplowed land was like a life without sin. The running water is the provision of GOD for cleansing and renewal. The heifer points to The LORD Jesus Christ who took punishment for our sins on our behalf. His yoke is easy and his burden is light because He actually sets us free from the burden and slavery of sin. ( Galatians 5:1,Matthew 11:28-30)
We thank The LORD eternally for providing Himself to cleanse us and set us free from sin. We also must ponder on how serious in the heart and mind of GOD is the shedding of innocent blood. Surely the most innocent blood of all, shed daily in our own towns and cities, is the blood of the unborn child, which cries out to GOD and defiles the land.

Divine Mercy From The Womb Of GOD.mp3

Did you know that in Hebrew, the word for mercy /compassion "racham" is the same word for womb? God's mercy towards us denotes the same kind of Divine protection that a baby has in their mother's womb. Divine mercy is a protective force that the Bible compares to the shelter of a mother's womb. So when you see the word mercy / tender mercies throughout the Old Testament, know that the picture painted is of a mother's womb. Eg Psalm 51:1+ 103:13, Jeremiah 31:20,Deuteronomy 4:31+ 30:3, Lamentations 3:32 etc etc When we repent of sin and receive God's mercy and forgiveness, it is as if we are again in the womb, without sin, pure and clean, the innocence and purity of a child within the womb is a picture of the relationship Adam had with GOD before he sinned, and when we receive His salvation, we are cleansed by the pure sinless blood of Jesus Christ and made a new creature, a new creation, born again from the Divine Womb of GOD Himself. (Remember whilst we calk GOD "Father" man is made in His image, male and female we are were created see Genesis 1:26-27)
Is that not what The Lord Jesus told Nicodemus? That we could spiritually re-enter the womb of GOD and be born again, as an innocent pure baby who has never sinned? John 3:3 "Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God".
This is the "racham" of GOD: tender mercy, compassion, grace and protection over the child in the womb.
Selah.... pause and think on that...
What an awesome Heavenly Father we have.

Blood Has A Voice.mp3

The Word of GOD tells us that blood has a voice and that GOD hears that voice. See Genesis 4:9-10. First let me point out that in verse 10, the Hebrew word for blood is plural( demi) not singular ( dam) . It literally says "your brother's bloods cry out to me" The plural form of blood is used in Hebrew to emphasise that the blood has been spilled out violently. It also can be interpreted as the blood of Abel's potential descendants that have been cut off. Also the phrase "crying out" in the Hebrew is "tzo-a-kim" which means to cry out in grief, sorrow and pain. Now, let's look at what Cain says when he says to GOD " am I my brother's keeper". The word for "keeper" is the Hebrew word "shomer" meaning guardian, meaning one who watches over and protects. Mary surrendered her own body, her womb, to be the safe place for The Son of GOD Himself to become flesh and be born of her. She was the guardian of that baby and her own body protected and nourished the Messiah, The very Son of GOD Himself. (See Luke 1:26-38). Joseph also was obedient to GOD and protected and cared for both Mary and the child within her womb, and The Lord Jesus as a young boy. ( See Matthew 1:18-24 and Matthew 2:13-14) How interesting that Mary is the Greek form of the Hebrew name Miriam and it was Miriam, the sister of Moses in Exodus chapter 2,who watched over Moses in the basket on the river Nile and bravely approached Pharaoh's daughter suggesting a Hebrew nurse maid, Jochabed, the mother of Moses and herself. Miriam was a shomer, a guardian for her younger brother Moses, a type of Messiah who delivered God's people from slavery in Egypt. Miriam / Mary of the New Testament, was the shomer, the guardian of The Messiah who has delivered us who believe on Him from slavery to sin and death. How precious before GOD is the role of a mother who carries within her womb a masterpiece of The Master, someone made in His likeness,and let us remember that blood has a voice, and GOD hears it.

Created From The Breath Of GOD Himself.mp3

The Being of GOD is abundant life. He not only has life, He is Life. He has life in Himself (John 5:26)
He is The Breath Of Life and once He had created and prepared a body for Adam to live in, He breathed Himself into Adam 's nostrils, ( Genesis 2:7) and, like God Himself, man became a living being. 1Thessalonians 5:23 tells us that we are first of all spirit, we have a soul and we live in a body. Once a human spirit leaves it's "earth vessel" , the physical body, it returns to GOD Who gave it from Himself ( Ecclesiastes 3:21) That spirit is from GOD Himself, and being in the likeness of GOD can never die. People in Hell long to die, but they cannot. The spirit of man is in the likeness of GOD Who is Spirit ( Jonn 4:24) and will live from eternity to eternities either in Heaven or Hell depending on their acceptance of God's salvation through Messiah, Jesus or rejection. 1 John 5:12 says that whoever has the Son( Jesus Christ) by accepting Him as Saviour and Lord, has life, and he who does not have Him, by personal faith, does not have life. The spirit of man lives forever but either in eternal separation from or in fellowship with the love of GOD, Who is Life Himself.
Without the breath of GOD, the spirit which comes from GOD, there is no heart beat. The body dies and returns to dust. The beating heart of the baby in the womb is the physical evidence of the breath of GOD Himself. ALL HUMAN LIFE IS SACRED FROM THE WOMB TO A NATURAL GRAVE.

A Divine Hug

Genesis 2:24: “Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cling unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.”
Deuteronomy 4:4: “But ye that did cling unto the LORD your God [are] alive every one of you this day.
In both these verses the same Hebrew word"deveq" is translated "cling to". Some translations say "cleave unto". We are to be joined unto The Lord as a man cleaves unto his wife in physical union. I Corinthians 6:17 says " But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him".
In modern Hebrew the word "deveq" means "glue".
Psalms 63:8: “My soul follows hard after you, your right hand upholds me.”The KJV translates this as “My soul follows hard after you.” Some translations render this as “My soul clings to you.” The word for “follows hard’ or “clings” is the same Hebrew word “deveq.”
David then says that the “right hand of God sustains me.” The right hand of God represents God’s power. In 1922 a lady called Helen Lemel was married to a wealthy man, but at the age of fifty-five, she went totally blind. Her husband left her and left with nothing. She soon became destitute. In the midst of blindness, heartbreak, and poverty, with unseeing eyes, she looked to Jesus and she saw something. She wrote about in her hymn which became popular throughout the world. “Turn your eyes upon Jesus, look full in His wonderful face, and the things of earth will grow strangely dim. In the light of His glory and grace.” Jeremiah 29:13 tells us that if we seek God we will find Him if we search for Him with all our hearts. That Divine Hug comes when we seek and search for God with all our hearts ❤️
