Something I heard often while growing up in church: "The Law is too difficult for anyone to do. This is why Christ came, to do it for us. It was there to show us we can't be righteous and we need a Savior."

I've covered some of these aspects in earlier CvB comics. Let's look specifically at the "The Law is too difficult."

If you go and read the Scripture I give in the second panel, you'll see the very first thing is from God saying the exact opposite. The Law is not to hard for us.

Why then did Israel fail so miserably at keeping it if it is so easy? It all comes down to a heart issue. Throughout Scripture, God states He wants our hearts. In the Prophets, when He wants Israel to turn back to Him, it is their heart He is after.

With that in mind, let's look at the man after God's own heart: David. In the Psalms, David writes about the Law in a very positive way. Calling it perfect, saying it makes the unlearned wise, saying those who walk in it are blessed, and much much more.

Psalm 119 is the longest chapter in the Bible and it is a love song written about the Law.

Now, if it was something difficult to keep, why would David write such a thing?
If it was difficult to keep, why would God get angry in the Prophets at Israel for them not keeping it?

If you think the Law is too difficult for you to keep, I would like to know, which part? What commands specifically do you think are too difficult?

To be preemptive, I am talking about ones that you can do today. Commands that don't require a Temple, a God-appointed set of elders, a Levite, etc... But commands that relate to your every day life. What is too difficult?

The question was receintly asked, “Why don’t my prayers get answered now that I’ve stopped praying on the name of Jesus?”

A great question.

Many people believe there’s no power in the name of Jesus because we made it up.

And yet evil spirits flee in that name.
Healings happen in that name.
Miracles and mighty wonders.

Yet we know for a fact that’s not actually His Name?

So why do powerful things happen in this name and why does that power seem to disappear when we decide to stop calling Him by that fake name?

Maybe it’s another power feeding the deception all along?

Or maybe the power is in our belief rather than the name we claimed? Like a placebo.

Of that we can not speak because we can not know.

But what we do know is this…

Prayer never worked the way churchianity said it was supposed to. Sure we got what we wanted when we said the magic made up word “Jesus” but prayer isn’t supposed to get us stuff. We stop getting the magical answers when we stop treating the Most High like a genii. Prayer is intended to attune our will with His not to get us things. And we don’t mean tvs and cars and money. We mean praying for health and healing and wisdom and all the other good stuff we were taught to ask for in Christendom. True prayer is intended to bind us to the Almighty, bringing our concerns to Him to hand them over. Not “I need healing, etc.” but rather “here is my want of healing etc. Do with it as You will.”

…and He will.

We can have the magic if we want it but it’s all manufactured and vapid as the name we spoke to try to get it.

The Church may have taught us to show up with a list of wants and needs, but the Saviour didn’t teach us that pattern for prayer.

He taught us to show up confident to commune with our Creator. To call on His Name. To give Him all praise. And to trust Him to provide all things that we already know He already knows we need for living out the life He gave us.

Pray to put Him over all no matter what happens. And your prayers will be answered. Just dont expect the answers to be like they were in churchianity. They were never supposed to be.

"If a man shall open a pit, or if a man shall dig a pit, and not cover it, and an ox or an ass fall therein; the owner of the pit shall make it good, and give money unto the owner of them; and the dead shall be his."

Ex 21

Thought for Today: Monday July 22

You can wait for YHVH because He is faithful, merciful and powerful. He always welcomes you into His presence. Even though you may admit to some reluctance, He nevertheless awaits those few precious moments when you lift your face and heart to Him.

Here is a Messianic Bible translation I hope to someday get when a large print becomes available. It is called the New Jeruslem Version (not to be confused with the New Jersulem Bible). It is a literal word for word translation based on the ASV.

Although they are not promoters of Sacred Name, it can be used as a Sacred Name bible because God's name is written in Hebrew, giving the reader the choice of pronunciation. The Messiah's name is written as Yeshua.
