When we ask the Father to grow us into what He wants us to be, we must be willing to go through His steps, in order, and in His timing. I'm learning that His processes and His timing are good for me.

Ezekiel 33:6, “But if the watchman sees the sword coming and fails to blow the horn to warn the people, and the sword comes and takes away a life, then that one will be taken away in his iniquity, but I will hold the watchman accountable for his blood.”The watchmen must be vigilant — they not only see the danger, they must warn others. Of course it’s up to the ones being warned if they choose to heed that warning.

"He that breaketh one of these least commandments, and teacheth men thus, shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven;"

Mt 5

Thought for Today: May 23:

The sunrise ushers in YHVH’s mercy towards you today. Yesterday is gone and forgotten, today is in His hands and tomorrow if filled with His Promises. Therefore remember! You are blessed because you are in His will – His will is to heal you, provide for you, protect you, and daily give you the generous gifts of His Grace.

"Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him."

Big weekend coming up! Dont let doubt enter your mind. Acts 2:38 is real.

103How sweet to my taste has Your word been, More than honey to my mouth!

104From Your orders I get understanding; Therefore I have hated every false way.

105Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path.

106I have sworn, and I confirm, To guard Your righteous right-rulings.

Psalm 119

For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—Jews or Greeks, slaves or free—and all were made to drink of one Spirit.
1 Corinthians 12:13

Paul wrote that Jew and Greek, slave and free, male and female are all one in Messiah. We are all equally "saved". But it has always been that way. Abraham, Caleb, and Rahab were all equally God's chosen people by their faith in his salvation despite having not been born as Israelites. This didn't change at the cross or pentecost. It also doesn't mean there are no more distinctions between Jew and Greek, slave and free, male and female. Equality in one respect does not mean--or even imply--equality in any other respect, as the rest of this chapter and Paul's other writings makes abundantly clear.
