Thoughts on the decline of our Lifespan.

We see a continuing decline in the Lifespan of Humanity as we move from the initial span of eternity with a direct walk with the Almighty to the declining span of Adam, Seth, Noah down to Abraham, Isaac, Jacob down to the present day where we are to live for about 120 years and are living a little over half of that amount of time.

Why is this?

When the sinful element of disobedience entered the first created, it ushered in an incompatible element within the dynamic animating spirit (the Holy Spirit) that must be removed as it cannot co-exist with a sin-stained nature. The two are separated through death. It must die as the Holy Spirit is Separate and Distinct from the animating Vital Force. When we consume or take in bad food or incompatible elements into the holy sanctum of our being, we immediately remove it through vomiting and or diarrhea. It must be removed from within our inner sanctum.

Now, this element, commonly called sin, created an environmental distinction between the Holy Spirit and the animating vital force that enlivens all living creatures. By the time we get to the time of Noah, the Lifespan of Humanity is significantly reduced, as sin is pervasive throughout all. Humanity is behaving and doing what it pleases, causing the Almighty to the point of deciding to wipe out all of Humanity.

As the incompatible element of sin continued to have a more significant influence on Humanity, the influence of the Holy Spirit was increasingly compromised to the point of there being no way of redemption. The only thing left to do was to Wipe the Whole thing Out. Fortunately, there have always been elements within Humanity that had enough of the Holy Spirit to be found worthy of being spared. While all of Humanity was wiped out, Noah and his family were spared, and through that one person who had enough spirit to communicate with the Almighty, Noah and his family paved the way for Humanity to continue. Historically, there have been individuals who were found to have enough of the Holy Spirit to find favor in the eyes of the Almighty, who showed enough of a remnant of the Holy Spirit to have communication with the Almighty, which the Almighty could use.

The prophets are a great example. We will call them those who have been called to receive and obey the Almighty through which Humanity may be spared.

As we move through the rest of the Bible, there are those who demonstrate that they have enough of a Holy Spirit to communicate and be used as a living vessel for the Almighty.

Now, who today has enough of a remnant of the Holy Spirit to find favor with the Almighty on their own? No One! Enter the Messiah! A living being, made up of Humanity, filled with the Holy Spirit to resonate with the Almighty. This is our unique relationship with the Messiah, who can resonate with Humanity and the Almighty!

The resonating element that binds the two is FAITH!!

Meeting You Where You Are?

 

Daily Bible Verse & Prayer

Today's Verse - Proverbs 11:20

The LORD detests those whose hearts are perverse, but he delights in those whose ways are blameless.

Proverbs 11:20

Thoughts on Today's Verse...

Blameless? We can't make a claim to be blameless in our own achievements so how will the LORD delight in me? We are blameless because of Jesus' perfect sacrifice. God has forgiven and cleansed us and the Holy Spirit is working to perfect us so that we can be blameless like Christ (2 Corinthians 3:18). Paul told Timothy that he had been the worst of sinners (1 Timothy 1:12-17), yet Paul was confident that he would wear a glorious crown of righteousness when Jesus comes again (2 Timothy 4:6-8). His assurance was because of God's grace in Jesus (1 Timothy 1:15-17). I don't know about you, but I am thankful to know that we can bring the LORD delight as our children bring us delight even though they are not fully mature or perfect in their behaviors. We pursue blamelessness because of Jesus' sacrifice. God views us blameless because of that same sacrifice. That means our Father in heaven delights in us!

My Prayer...

May my words and my actions bring you delight, O LORD, my God! You have done so much for me, and I want to bring you great joy as I seek to live blamelessly before you trusting in your grace to make me what I cannot be on my own efforts! In Jesus' name, I thank and praise you. Amen.

Today's Verse - Deuteronomy 11:19

Teach them to your children, talking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.

Deuteronomy 11:19

Thoughts on Today's Verse...

Moses gives us three crucial messages about God's commandments that were given to Moses for the people of God.

  1. As parents, it is our responsibility to teach God's commandments to our children — not the responsibility of the government, schools, or even our churches. While we hope these will reinforce our values, it is our responsibility as parents!
  2. We are to teach God's commandments in the everyday course of life as we go about our routines as a family. This organic teaching method should be built into our daily way of life and help connect our children with the practical application of God's commands.
  3. We are to teach them continuously by both our words and our example as we seek to raise our children to honor God and his holy values.
Now we can look at teaching God's commands to our children as a job, a burden, a heavy responsibility, or we can see it as an opportunity to shape a life for the future and partner with God in raising a child to be a person who will make an eternal difference for the Kingdom of God. What a joy to be a part of such a holy, eternal, and influential partnership!

My Prayer...

O LORD God, please bless me as I seek to impart my faith to others, especially to those in my family. Please bless me with a consistent and faithful witness to them. Please have the Holy Spirit give me the right words to say and the wisdom to know when the time is right to say them. Please give me the strength and sensitivity to share your truth with loving respect along with the courage to leave a strong Christian example. May those I influence see my joy in living for you. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.

Today's Verse - Acts 11:18

When they heard this, they had no further objections and praised God, saying, "So then, God has granted even the Gentiles repentance unto life."

Acts 11:18

Thoughts on Today's Verse...

Breaking through racial and cultural barriers is never easy, but this was the challenge early church leaders faced when the Holy Spirit led Peter to share the gospel with Cornelius and his household, and they became disciples of Jesus. The Jewish disciples had not anticipated Gentiles to come into Jesus' church. Thankfully, God's Spirit didn't let them settle comfortably into their prejudices. Instead, the Spirit challenged, led, and pushed them to break through racial hatred and cultural ignorance. So must we, today. Let's be the kind of people, Jesus' people, who rejoice and praise God as every racial barrier dividing people fall in Jesus. Let's press on until the triumphant promise of the Gospel is fulfilled: "There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus." (Galatians 3:28). In doing this, we anticipate the incredible chorus of heaven as it praises God with folks from every language, tribe, people, and nation (Revelation 7:9-11). God longs to invite all peoples of the earth into his family of grace, love, and life!

My Prayer...

Holy God, we ask that you bless all those everywhere who are trying to cross cultural, linguistic, and nationalistic barriers sharing the grace of Jesus with those who do not know you. Help them know they are bringing you joy and anticipating the praise that surrounds you in glory! In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
