Let the Feast Begin
'Get rid of all the old yeast; then you’ll become new dough, just as you are already a people without sin’s leavening influence. You see, the Anointed One is our Passover lamb; He has been sacrificed for us. So let the real feast begin. Get rid of all the old yeast, the yeast of hatred and evil. Throw it out so we can feast on the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.' 1 Corinthians 5:7-8 (VO
Who
among you can tolerate sin? It is the spirit in the Church that
tolerates sin that is to be purged so that we may become that for which we are
to be, unleavened. For Christ was wounded for our transgressions. He
was bruised for our iniquities. The chastisement of our peace fell upon
Him. With His stripes we are healed. Amen.
When
we begin to think that we've got it all figured out, there's cause to
worry. Pride raises her ugly head. Spiritual pride soon enough creeps
in. False doctrines and their false teachers are not to be tolerated.
That's when we say 'Give us new hearts Lord'. Keep us in Christ and our
deeds holy. Shake out the chaff among us. Keep the fires of
righteousness burning. We are nothing without You Lord.
Who
can live even a day without faith? Our deeds are powerless and
ineffective without Jesus and His Holiness. We need the Bread of Life to
sustain us. Old yeast be gone! Let the real feast of righteousness
begin.
Dear
Father. You are our King. We honor You, Lord Jesus. Fear of judgement
and death pass over us this day. Sin is a heavy weight and a burden, the
cross which You carried for me. Clean us up Lord. Christ be alive in
us. You are our Bread of Life. Holy Spirit, reveal to us if there be any
sin of offense and unforgiveness in us that separates us from You.
We
pray for our nation. America the beautiful and her people belong to
You. We've turned away. We've lost our way. We've looked to new ideas
that haven't worked. Forgive us. Lord, make us more like You again. Make
America great again with Liberty and Justice for all. She has done many
great things for the nation and for the world. Strengthen her families.
Make safe her people's property. Let the Church take back authority.
All in Your mighty name. Remove the politicians that want to destroy
her. Remove the veil of darkness and shine Your Light of Life on us!
Keep the election workers safe.
Remove the old yeast of malice and evil and place in us a new heart,
with Christ as our Lord, and let the unleavened bread of sincerity and
truth reign in us. It is Your Will. So that we might serve You better.
That You should reign. That You should reign in us. In Jesus's name.
Amen.
