Yeshua (Jesus real Hebraic name) was NOT a Catholic and NOT a “Christian”. He was a Torah observant Jew who taught Torah (Matthew 5:17) and was the first person in recorded history to be called “Rabbi” (Mark 9:5 and Mark 11:21 by Peter John 1:38 by two disciples of John the Baptizer John 1:49 by Nathanael John 3:2 by Nicodemus John 6:25 by the crowds, John 4:31; 9:2; 11:8, Matthew 26:25, 49; Mark 14:45 by Judas, John 20:16; Mark 10:5) Regardless of what we call Him let us realize that He did not come into this world to create a “Christian Culture” He did not come into this world to die and have a bunch of “motivational speakers” give a sweet, humanistic message full of vanity and self- interest. He came in this world to DIE and RESURRECT. The Word made His tabernacle among men in the form of a man to give us life eternal yet ask’s us to die to ourselves every waking moment of our lives…..thank you Father NOT just for giving us your Son as a sacrifice on behalf of OUR WILLFUL SINS but for giving us your Holy Spirit who the life you call us to live would be impossible without.

“God is not embarrassed of you. He really does delight in you. The cross is the biggest shout in the universe that. He. Wants. You.” - Jefferson Bethke

Lately I’ve been having a hard time understanding Christ’s death on the cross and how all the sin of the world and wrath of GOD His own Father and how Christ was literally our substitution taking OUR PLACE. I asked my Father in prayer if He could either affirm that I’m saved or point out my sin that is hindering my relationship with Him through HIS Son. Well I opened up my Bible to a random page just a minute ago and on that page was highlighted…

¹⁰“You are My witnesses,” declares the LORD,
“And My servant whom I have chosen,
So that you may know and believe Me
And understand that I am He.
Before Me there was no God formed,
And there will be none after Me.

- ISAIAH 43:10

I must grow closer to CHRIST and I feel I need to

In no particular order:

• Either completely avoid or possibly delete my Facebook account. (I can’t explain it but it seems to be distracting me from the Gospel)

• I must cut out anything and everything that isn’t for and working towards the glory and expansion of Christ’s kingdom. (T.V. , movies, books, game’s that don’t conform to God’s Word and Will)

• Cut out friend’s from my life after preaching Christ’s Gospel and about His death and His bloodshed at the cross that all of humanity (including you and me) might not suffer hell for our sinful nature.

• Pray for a heart that burns with a desire for God that rages and burns brighter then the sun and for a special compassion for those that don’t know Christ.

• Use all resources especially social networks such as tumblr to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

• Stay in His Word and reflect on it night and day.

If you’re reading this and are a brother or sister in Christ please pray to out heavenly Father that He may fill me with His Holy Spirit and that this may only be done if it will bring glory to Himself, the name and Gospel of Jesus Christ and His kingdom.
