Exodus 7-13:16

This is Yahweh’s show, Yahweh told Moses, Moses Moses told Pharaoh.  10 plagues.  Only Elohim’s thunder and hail. 9:24

In Exodus 13:17

We find Elohim leading them out of Egypt, the long way, into an impossible place.  Yahweh (Elohim ), a column of smoke or fire day and night to lead them.

Exodus 14 :  Yahweh still doing the talking at the Red Sea, Yahweh parting the waters. Elohim :

19 The Messenger of Elohim, who had been in front of the Israelites, moved behind them. So the column of smoke moved from in front of the Israelites and stood behind them 20 between the Egyptian camp and the Israelite camp. The column of smoke was there when darkness came, and it lit up the night. Neither side came near the other all night long.

Yahweh’s in charge,  Elohim protecting…..

Exodus 15:

The song of Moses also in Deuteronomy 31,32 and Revelation 15

The Filling Station : Exodus 4

In Exodus 4 we find Yahweh speaking :

Yahweh turns staff into snake and back, deseased hand, water from Nile into blood…..who made your tongue?

Tryed to kill Moses comming off the mountain :   Zipporah circumcised their son and Yahweh was fine. Aaron comes to help.

Exodus 5:

Pharaoh hardens his heart….Moses asked Yahweh why?

Exodus 6:

We see Yahweh Elohim working together :

Yahweh said to Moses, “Now you will see what I will do to Pharaoh. I will show him my power, and he will let my people go. I will show him my power, and he will throw them out of his country.”

The Lord Tells Moses to Speak to Pharaoh Again

2 Elohim spoke to Moses, “I am Yahweh. 3 I appeared to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob as El Shadday, but I didn’t make myself known to them by my name, Yahweh. 4 I even made a promise[a] to give them Canaan, the land where they lived as foreigners. 5 Now I have heard the groaning of the Israelites, whom the Egyptians hold in slavery, and I have remembered my promise.

6 “Tell the Israelites, ‘I am Yahweh. I will bring you out from under the oppression of the Egyptians, and I will free you from slavery. I will rescue you with my powerful arm and with mighty acts of judgment. 7 Then I will make you my people, and I will be your Elohim. You will know that I am Yahweh your Elohim, who brought you out from under the forced labor of the Egyptians. 8 I will bring you to the land I solemnly swore to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. I will give it to you as your own possession. I am Yahweh.’”

Two in one….Yahweh says I am Elohim.
Elohim says I am Yahweh.   They are always in agreement but we can hear their Natures in their speech.

Yahweh : I will show him my power.

Elohim : Tell them I will bring you out, I will rescue you, make you my people, I will bring you to on promise.

What’s it mean, to Walk with God: The Fix-it Shop

image

For all of my Christian life,  my desire has been to walk with God.   I know I am not alone.  The story of Enoch is incredible.  Oh that I could just walk home with God.  Be done with the trials and struggles, the sins and snares of this life.

Here is the rub, I walk with Him, I’m close to Him, obedient to Him. Until I’m not.   The old man within doesn’t want to get with the program.  The roaring lion is attempting to devour me.  When I submit myself to the Lord, the devil must flee.  When I submit myself to the Lord…..I am walking with God.

We must learn to allow Gods Spirit into our lives.   If we look at the Spirit of God,  we find a Spirit  of Wisdom, Understanding and Knowledge, workmanship and the Spirit of Prophesy.  

Exodus 31:
Lord spake unto Moses, saying, I have filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship,  To devise cunning works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass,  And in cutting of stones, to set them, and in carving of timber, to work in all manner of workmanship.

Acts 2:
And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:

All of these gifts were given to build His Tabernacle in the old Testament, where He resided and His Church in the New. He now resides within us.  He will give us the Wisdom, Understanding, Knowledge and skill to build His body here on earth.

When we allow His Spirit to teach and guide us we can walk with God.  Enoch walked will God 300 years and is in heaven today, because God took him, he had this testimony he believed God is and is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him ….he also  prophecied of the 2nd comming of Jesus.

Noah walked with God,  found Grace. In the eyes of the Lord.  In reverential fear build an ark and saved his family.   Peter tells us he never failed to be a preacher of righteousness. Noah walked with God for 950 years.

So why is it hard for us to walk longer thsn 15. Minutes?   We allow to much other stuff in our lives.  TV, FACEBOOK, TWITTER, MUSIC, GOSSIP. …We need to set our faces like flint towards the son and walk in the light.  Allowing God to lead and guide us in His ways.

We need to leave the pleasures of the world to the world and find our joy in the Holy Spirit.  The Lord will build His Church by His Spirit in those who Walk with Him.

The only way we can walk with Jesus is to take His Yoke upon us.   Most of the great Fathers of our faith walked  before the Lord.  They were warriors for the Lord.

The two that walked with God, were preachers of righteousness.  If we long to walk with Jesus, we must don His Yoke, do His will.  Preach the gospel of the Kingdom.  

How did Jesus preach the gospel?    With signs and wonders following. ….

Jesus sent the Spirit to teach and guide us, comfort and empower us.  The Spirit gave us gifts, we have neglected to press into the Holy of Holies, to submit ourselves to God, to become useful vessels, vessels He can trust and relie on to give Him the glory and praise.

Lord Jesus, please help me to be a set apart, obedient servant that you can trust with your power and grace.  I long to see people saved, set free, healed and on fire to serve You.

Lord, make me a useful vessel.

Who then shall be saved? – The Fix-it Shop

image

“Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.”

I am a simple guy, I tend to believe what is written.  This verse promises that my belief covers my family.   A lot of Christians take issue with that.

If we look in the Old Testament we find this truth in the life of  Noah, again at the first passover, Abraham’s prayer  for Lot had the angels of the Lord, grabbing the hands of Lot, his wife and two daughters and leading them to safety. 

We learn in Deuteronomy that the Lord had set aside land for Lots daughters and Esau and the Hebrews were to leave them alone.  They eventually  ended up losing that protection by harassing the Hebrews.

Exodus 20:5b-6
“I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;   And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.”

Would He not be showing mercy by saving those you love?

In the New Testament we have the first verse mentioned and the verse in Corinthians that the wife doesn’t know if she will save her unbelieving husband.

Yet we have Jesus telling Nicodemus : ” Ye must be born again.”  There is no other Name by which we are saved.

“Whosoever calls upon the Name of the Lord shall be saved.”

As a one time pastor and talking to pastors, there is  some doubt that all in their flock are saved.  I  believe that more are saved than we think.

The only requirement of Salvation is belief on Jesus, confessing that belief and Baptism.   So many may be saved that we think aren’t living the life.

Well what does heaven look like?  If we take the Tabernacle in the desert as a guide, we have a multitude of people.  The Tabernacle is placed away from the crowd.

There is a court yard, Holy Place and Holy of Holies.

I picture heaven as a giant football stadium.   The saved are in the seats….the people who have studied the word, pray, teach Sunday school, help around the church have purchased the best seats.

Those who just believe are in the nose bleed seats.

Then you have the playing field.  These are the people who are doing the work of God.  They live in the courtyard.  ( see Psalm 65 :4)

They enter the Holy Place and the Holy of Holies as they serve the Lord with gladness.

Is this Biblical? 

No but I believe those who call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.  It is the way I get my head around the mercy and grace of God.  Do not let this “Billism ”  hurt your faith, I hope it will draw you closer to the Lord.

Our God is bigger than our beliefs.   The Word is the final Word on what to believe.  Study to shew thyself approved unto God.

Abram and Melchizedek (type of Jesus? ) – The Fix-it Shop

image

When we were taught the Old Testament in Bible School it was said Melchizedek was a type of or maybe even was Jesus. (Genesis 14) I don’t think so.

Abram had just rescued his nephew from captivity. …The King of Salem and Melchizedek the priest  of God met with Abram. The priest blessed Abram, Abram blessed the priest.  Abram refused a share of the spoils and gave a tithe to Melchizedek.

If we reread the story of Abram we find this is the first time God was mentioned in his story.

A little later a deep sleep overcomes Abram and God appears in a dream and fortells the 400 years of captivity his decendants will endure.

It isn’t untill chapter 17 that the Lord comes to him and introduced  Himself as Almighty God.

If we read that pasage we find the Lord telling him walk before me and be ye perfect.  God says I  will make my covenant with you….no conditions.

We find when he meets Almighty God, he falls on his face to Worship  (never that reaction to the Lord).  His name is changed,  he gets circumcised  that day.

To me,  that is when he met Jesus.  We get a new name, circumcision of our hearts,  I fell down to Worship when I met Him.  How about you?

So to me, Melchizedek was just what he was called, a priest of God.  Almighty God is Jesus.

The Lord said: Levi walked with Me…The Filling Station – 4

image Levi the third son of Jacob from the unloved Leah.  His name means attached.   She had hoped  her husband would become attached to her but I  think his name is a fore shadow of the priests job.  To bring people to a saving knowledge of Christ. We really have very little knowledge of Levi, we only have one quote from him:  ” Should he deal with our sister as with an harlot? “ His sister Dinah had been kidnapped and raped by this prince of a near by town.  The king came to Jacob to make a deal.  We will  trade and be as one tribe, marry one anothers daughters, buy and sell, ect… The sons of Jacob told them they could if they would all be circumcised.  They agreed and on the third day Levi and Simeon went into the town and killed all the men.  The other brothers came for the spoil. Jacob rebuked them and never blessed them with lands, just towns in their brothers lands. My “Billism” on this is they did the Lords work….You cannot treat a daughter of the Lord like that and get away with it.  Like Elijah,  Levi  acted as the Lord willed. We never hear the Lord rebuking Levi or Moses for murder.  Proverbs 6 tells us He hates “feet that shed innocent blood.”   If we look into Moses time…the golden calf….”All on the Lords side come to me.”  The Levites came and killed some 3000 who sinned. Phinious a Levite,  when the Hebrew sinned in front of all with the women. Ran them through with a spear….He did the will of the Lord. I believe that is why the Levites were chosen and why the Lord said in Malachi 2:4-7 4 And ye shall know that I have sent this commandment unto you, that my covenant might be with Levi, saith the Lord of hosts. 5 My covenant was with him of life and peace; and I gave them to him for the fear wherewith he feared me, and was afraid before my name. 6 The law of truth was in his mouth, and iniquity was not found in his lips: he walked with me in peace and equity, and did turn many away from iniquity. 7 For the priest’s lips should keep knowledge, and they should seek the law at his mouth: for he is the messenger of the Lord of hosts. Levi knew and preformed the will of the Lord.  He is the only man named to have walked with the Lord.  He was at peace with himself, turned many from sin…taught the truth…. Abraham, David, Solomon, Hezekiah all walked before the Lord, only Levi put on the Yoke and walked with the Lord. Just like Enoch and Noah put on the Yoke and walked with God.  (Jesus) Notice these men were preachers of righteousness. Levi was a man of war.  We are the Lords priests today, it is a Spiritual war we fight.  We must put on the full Armor of God and stand fast in our faith. The Kingdom of God is at hand.  You can know, love have a true relationship with Jesus today. Ask for forgiveness,  believe in your heart and confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord of your life.  Find out what real peace and joy is. ….Jesus. Posted from WordPress for Android

Man and his Maker : The Filling Station 3

Man and his Maker :  The Filling Station 3

I apologize,  I believe the Lord has given me a word about the Trinity in the Old Testament that dovetails with a word about walking with God.

I  find myself wanting to list every scripture that supports my “Billism”, (a truth I see in the Word, that is not taught as such).

First off;  I firmly believe that the Lord in The Old Testament is Yahweh or Jehovah the Everlasting,  Existent One.  The Law giver, known as the Father in the New Testament.

God  the Creator / Supreme Ruler of the Old Testament is Elohim  or Adonai the Supreme Master who we know as Jesus  or Yeshua in the New.

As we look in The Old Testament we find most sacrifices made to the Lord, (because Jesus is the ultimate sacrifice ).   The Lord speaks of Job fearing God and hating evil.  The Lord sees Moses but God speaks.

Almost identical statements spoken by the Lord and then God.  The marked differences in the Spirit of the Lord and the Spirit of God. 

I can point you to these and many more verses but what is the point?  Does this mean anything to you and your walk with Jesus?

There are only two people named in the Old Testament that walked with God.  Enoch who walked with God and was not because God took him and Noah, who found grace with the Lord because he walked with God.

Both these men were preachers of righteousness.

Then we have Abraham,  David,  Hezekiah, Samson, Gideon who walked before the Lord or had the Spirit of the Lord come upon them. 

These men were all warriors for the Lord.

Moses walked the the way of the Lord.   He was and amazing prophet of the Lord.

Then we have Levi, whom the Lord Himself  said:  “Levi walked with Me.” 

That is the story I am struggling to tell.  Is anyone interested?  I believe I know why the Lord has  chosen Levi as His priest.

Man and Maker – The Filling Station 2

image

Just a quick highlight of the Man and Maker interactions in Genesis:

The births and lives of Cain, Able and Seth…
Enoch with Elohim .  He walked with and went home..
The conversations of Noah with Elohim  and Yahweh. ….he pleased Yahweh because he walked with Elohim.  Both would destroy all flesh but Elohim told him the way to survive.
Abram walked before Yahweh for 24 years, met Elohim  and fell on his face in worship, name changed and circumcised. (Sounds like he met Jesus).
Isaac given the promise for Abraham’s sake.
Jacob with both Yahweh and Elohim.
Joseph,  protected and promoted by Yahweh. …given answers to dreams by Elohim.  Pharaoh wanting to know Is there anyone else with the Spirit of Elohim?

These are all instances where the people dealt with and recognized by name both Yahweh and Elohim. (I believe the Father and Son).

Then we come to Moses in Exodus 1:17-20
Careful  reading shows us:
The Hebrews are now slaves, the midwifes have been ordered to kill the newborn boys.

17 However, the midwives feared Elohim and didn’t obey the king of Egypt’s orders. They let the boys live. 18 So the king of Egypt called for the midwives. He asked them, “Why have you done this? Why have you let the boys live?”

19 The midwives answered Pharaoh, “Hebrew women are not like Egyptian women. They are so healthy that they have their babies before a midwife arrives.”

20 Elohim was good to the midwives. So the people increased in number and became very strong. 21 Because the midwives feared Elohim, he gave them families of their own.

The midwifes fear Elohim, disobeyed Egypts king (he had power to kill), Elohim was good to them and gave them families of their own.

It is always better to obey God then man.

Exodus 2:

Moses grew up in Pharaohs house, killed an Egyptian, fled to desert.

23 After a long time passed, the king of Egypt died. The Israelites still groaned because they were slaves. So they cried out, and their cries for help went up to Elohim. 24 Elohim heard their groaning, and Elohim remembered his promise[a] to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. 25 Elohim saw the Israelites being oppressed and was concerned about them.

They prayed to and were heard by Elohim.  Elohim remembered the promise to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob,  saw the oppression and was concerned.

Exodus 3:

Moses at mountain of Elohim,  sees burning bush,  investigates, Yahweh saw, Elohim spoke, Yahweh spoke. 

Moses met both Yahweh and Elohim,  we find Yahweh saying:

7 Yahweh said, “I have seen the misery of my people in Egypt, and I have heard them crying out because of the slave drivers. I know how much they’re suffering. 8 I have come to rescue them from the power of the Egyptians and to bring them from that land to a good land with plenty of room for everyone.

Yahweh saw, heard, come to rescue, will deliver to the promised land.

Moses asked why me what do I say….ect?

Elohim said tell the I Am that I Am sent you.

Here we see Yahweh and Elohim in perfect agreement but speaking slightly different words about what they had seen and would do.  Elohim told him to tell them the Lord God   sent  him. 

I often wish our maker had put an and between…this translation writes it  Yahweh our Elohim, or Yahweh your Elohim.

Man and his Maker – The Filling Station 1

image

Man and his Maker:

I’ve been a Christian for over 35 years and for the first 30, when I read the Old Testament, the Lord God was one member of the Trinity.

He was the Father God of the New Testament,  the Old Man frowning down at us from the throne. 

The Law giver and judge.  A scary God to be feared and obeyed.

Then I had a revelation:  I remembered the story of Moses and the burning bush:

Exodus 3:1-8. Names of God Bible:  (I use this Bible to emphasis the different names and Natures of the Godhead).

Moses at the Burning Bush

3 Moses was taking care of the sheep of his father-in-law Jethro, the priest of Midian. As he led the sheep to the far side of the desert, he came to Horeb, the mountain of Elohim.

2 The Messenger of Yahweh appeared to him there as flames of fire coming out of a bush. Moses looked, and although the bush was on fire, it was not burning up. 3 So he thought, “Why isn’t this bush burning up? I must go over there and see this strange sight.”

4 When Yahweh saw that Moses had come over to see it, Elohim called to him from the bush, “Moses, Moses!”

Moses answered, “Here I am!”

5 Elohim said, “Don’t come any closer! Take off your sandals because this place where you are standing is holy ground. 6 I am the Elohim of your ancestors,[a] the Elohim of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.” Moses hid his face because he was afraid to look at Elohim.

7 Yahweh said, “I have seen the misery of my people in Egypt, and I have heard them crying out because of the slave drivers. I know how much they’re suffering. 8 I have come to rescue them from the power of the Egyptians and to bring them from that land to a good land with plenty of room for everyone. 

First off  let us look at the Names of God.  Elohim is Hebrew or Chaldee for God the Creator and Supreme Ruler of all.

Yahweh is Hebrew or Chaldee for Lord or the self Existent or Everlasting One.

So in the passage above we have Moses at the mountain of Elohim  (God).  When the Messenger of Yahweh, (The Everlasting One) appeared as flames of fire in a bush that was not consumed.

Whrn Yahweh noticed that  Moses was paying attention,  Elohim called out: “Take off your shoes this is holy ground”.

Elohim explained he was the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and Moses hid his face.

Then Yahweh spoke:  “I have seen the misery and heard the cry of the people. I know how and why they are suffering and will rescue them and bring them to a land of milk and honey”.

Moses was the man who knew the Godhead best, he referred to them as Lord and God and Spirit, he knew the three faces or Natures of the Godhead  and spoke of them as individuals.

He told us Eve said the Lord gave her Cain and Able,  they gave offerings to the Lord, the Lord rejected Cains and Cain left the presence of the Lord.

Later she tells us God gave her Seth, Seth had a son named Enosh and then men began to call upon  the name of  (or Worship)  the Lord. 

That is what started my quest.  I have been  searching and studying the Word ever since,  determined to understand and share this, to me, a new truth,  or understanding of the Godhead.

I hope you will follow along and be blessed by the experience.

The Filling Station – Genesis 47-50

image

The last few chapters of Genesis there are few mentions of our maker, I will just finish it off with them.

Genesis 47:
No mention.
Genesis 48:
Jacob blesses his sons.

3 Jacob said to Joseph, “El Shadday appeared to me at Luz in Canaan and blessed me. 4 He said to me, ‘I will make you fertile and increase the number of your descendants so that you will become a community of people. I will give this land to your descendants as a permanent possession.’

11 Israel said to Joseph, “I never expected to see you again, and now Elohim has even let me see your sons.”

15 Then Jacob blessed Joseph,

“May Elohim, in whose presence my grandfather Abraham
    and my father Isaac walked,
may Elohim, who has been my shepherd all my life to this very day,
16 may the Messenger, who has rescued me from all evil,
    bless these boys.
May they be called by my name
    and by the names of my grandfather Abraham and my father Isaac.
May they have many children on the earth.”

Genesis 49:
Jacob [Israel] Blesses His 12 Sons

49 Jacob called for his sons and said, “Come here, and let me tell you what will happen to you in the days to come.

2 “Gather around and listen, sons of Jacob.
    Listen to your father Israel.

3 “Reuben, you are my firstborn,
    my strength, the very first son I had,
        first in majesty and first in power.
4 You will no longer be first
    because you were out of control like a flood
        and you climbed into your father’s bed.
            Then you dishonored it.
        He climbed up on my couch.

5 “Simeon and Levi are brothers.
    Their swords[a] are weapons of violence.
6 Do not let me attend their secret meetings.
Do not let me join their assembly.
    In their anger they murdered men.
    At their whim they crippled cattle.
7 May their anger be cursed because it’s so fierce.
May their fury be cursed because it’s so cruel.
    I will divide them among the sons of Jacob
        and scatter them among the tribes of Israel.

Judah, your brothers will praise you.
    Your hand will be on the neck of your enemies.
Your father’s sons will bow down to you.
9 Judah, you are a lion cub.
    You have come back from the kill, my son.
He lies down and rests like a lion.
He is like a lioness. Who dares to disturb him?
10 A scepter will never depart from Judah
    nor a ruler’s staff from between his feet
        until Shiloh comes
            and the people obey him.
11 He will tie his donkey to a grapevine,
    his colt to the best vine.
He will wash his clothes in wine,
    his garments in the blood of grapes.
12 His eyes are darker than wine.
His teeth are whiter than milk.

13 “Zebulun will live by the coast.
He will have ships by the coast.
    His border will go as far as Sidon.

14 “Issachar is a strong donkey,
    lying down between the saddlebags.
15 When he sees that his resting place is good
    and that the land is pleasant,
        he will bend his back to the burden
            and will become a slave laborer.

16 “Dan will hand down decisions[b] for his people
    as one of the tribes of Israel.
17 Dan will be a snake on a road,
    a viper on a path,
        that bites a horse’s heels
            so that its rider falls off backwards.

18 “I wait with hope for you to rescue me, O Yahweh.

19 “Gad will be attacked by a band of raiders,
    but he will strike back at their heels.

“Asher’s food will be rich.
    He will provide delicacies fit for a king.

21 “Naphtali is a doe set free
    that has beautiful fawns.

22 “Joseph is a fruitful tree,
    a fruitful tree by a spring,
        with branches climbing over a wall.
23 Archers provoked him,
    shot at him,
        and attacked him.
24 But his bow stayed steady, and his arms remained limber
    because of the help of the Mighty One of Jacob,
    because of the name of the Shepherd, the Rock of Israel,
25 because of the El of your father who helps you,
    because of the Shadday who gives you
        blessings from the heavens above,
        blessings from the deep springs below the ground,
        blessings from breasts and womb.
26 The blessings of your father are greater than
    the blessings of the oldest mountains
        and the riches of the ancient hills.
May these blessings rest on the head of Joseph,
    on the crown of the prince among his brothers.

27 “Benjamin is a ravenous wolf.
    In the morning he devours his prey.
    In the evening he divides the plunder.”

28 These are the 12 tribes of Israel and what their father said to them when he gave each of them his special blessing.

Genesis 50:

Joseph Forgives His Brothers

15 Joseph’s brothers realized what their father’s death could mean. So they thought, “What if Joseph holds a grudge against us? What if he decides to pay us back for all the evil we did to him?” 16 They sent a messenger to Joseph to say, “Before your father died, he commanded us, 17 ‘This is what you should say to Joseph, “I’m begging you to forgive the crime and the sin your brothers committed against you. What they did to you was very evil.”’ So now, please forgive our crime, because we are servants of your father’s Elohim.” Joseph cried when he got their message.

18 Then his brothers also came and immediately bowed down in front of him. “We are your slaves!” they said.

19 Joseph said to them, “Don’t be afraid! I can’t take Elohim’s place.20 Even though you planned evil against me, Elohim planned good to come out of it. This was to keep many people alive, as he is doing now. 21 Don’t be afraid! I will provide for you and your children.” In this way he reassured them, setting their minds at ease.

24 At last Joseph said to his brothers, “I’m about to die. Elohim will definitely take care of you and take you out of this land to the land he swore with an oath to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.” 25 Joseph made Israel’s sons swear an oath. He said, “Elohim will definitely take care of you. So be sure to carry my bones back with you.”

26 Joseph died when he was 110 years old. His body was embalmed and placed in a coffin in Egypt.

It interests me that Yahweh protected and promoted Joseph,  but Elohim who gave him Wisdom, understanding and knowledge.

They prayed and  spoke of Elohim once Joseph was established.
