A Prayer For Courage And Unity

Dear God, we come to You in the name of Jesus Christ. We ask, dear Lord, that You unite us like lionesses on a hunt. We ask for strength and courage of lion to fight for what is right and to fight for those who can’t. We ask for a roar of a lion that will make our enemies tremble and run. Help us to stand like lion to say “enough is enough”, “no more”, “you can’t have no more territory”, “give back what you stolen”, “ROAR”. Give us love of a lioness has for her cub to love and help others. Dear God, we give you praise and thanks for answering our prayers. We also give a hallelujah for the things You done in the past and will do in the future. Thank you for being a loving God. Amen.

Who You Are-Unspoken

Hebrews 9

1 Now the first covenant had regulations for worship and also an earthly sanctuary.

²A tabernacle was set up. In its first room were the lampstand and the table with its consecrated bread; this was called the Holy Place.

³Behind the second curtain was a room called the Most Holy Place,

⁴which had the golden altar of incense and the gold-covered ark of the covenant. This ark contained the gold jar of manna, Aaron’s staff that had budded, and the stone tablets of the covenant.

⁵Above the ark were the cherubim of the Glory, overshadowing the atonement cover. But we cannot discuss these things in detail now.

⁶When everything had been arranged like this, the priests entered regularly into the outer room to carry on their ministry.

⁷But only the high priest entered the inner room, and that only once a year, and never without blood, which he offered for himself and for the sins the people had committed in ignorance.

⁸The Holy Spirit was showing by this that the way into the Most Holy Place had not yet been disclosed as long as the first tabernacle was still functioning.

⁹This is an illustration for the present time, indicating that the gifts and sacrifices being offered were not able to clear the conscience of the worshiper.

¹⁰They are only a matter of food and drink and various ceremonial washings—external regulations applying until the time of the new order.

¹¹But when Christ came as high priest of the good things that are now already here, he went through the greater and more perfect tabernacle that is not made with human hands, that is to say, is not a part of this creation.

¹²He did not enter by means of the blood of goats and calves; but he entered the Most Holy Place once for all by his own blood, thus obtainingeternal redemption.

¹³The blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer sprinkled on those who are ceremonially unclean sanctify them so that they are outwardly clean.

¹⁴How much more, then, will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences from acts that lead to death, so that we may serve the living God!

¹⁵For this reason Christ is the mediator of a new covenant,that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance—now that he has died as a ransom to set them free from the sins committed under the first covenant.

¹⁶In the case of a will, it is necessary to prove the death of the one who made it,

¹⁷because a will is in force only when somebody has died; it never takes effect while the one who made it is living.

¹⁸This is why even the first covenant was not put into effect without blood.

¹⁹When Moses had proclaimed every command of the law to all the people, he took the blood of calves, together with water, scarlet wool and branches of hyssop, and sprinkled the scroll and all the people.

²⁰He said, “This is the blood of the covenant, which God has commanded you to keep.”

²¹In the same way, he sprinkled with the blood both the tabernacle and everything used in its ceremonies.

²²In fact, the law requires that nearly everything be cleansed with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.

²³It was necessary, then, for the copies of the heavenly things to be purified with these sacrifices, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.

²⁴For Christ did not enter a sanctuary made with human hands that was only a copy of the true one; he entered heaven itself, now to appear for us in God’s presence.

²⁵Nor did he enter heaven to offer himself again and again, the way the high priest enters the Most Holy Place every year with blood that is not his own.

²⁶Otherwise Christ would have had to suffer many times since the creation of the world. But he has appeared once for all at the culmination of the ages to do away with sin by the sacrifice of himself.

²⁷Just as people are destined to die once,and after that to face judgment,

²⁸so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him.

Haggai 1

1 In the second year of King Darius, on the first day of the sixth month, the word of the Lord came through the prophet Haggai to Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua son of Jozadak, the high priest:

²This is what the Lord Almighty says: “These people say, ‘The time has not yet come to rebuild the Lord’s house.’”

³Then the word of the Lord came through the prophet Haggai:

⁴“Is it a time for you yourselves to be living in your paneled houses, while this house remains a ruin?”

⁵Now this is what the Lord Almighty says: “Give careful thought to your ways.

⁶You have planted much, but harvested little. You eat, but never have enough. You drink, but never have your fill. You put on clothes, but are not warm. You earn wages, only to put them in a purse with holes in it.”

⁷This is what the Lord Almighty says: “Give careful thought to your ways.

⁸Go up into the mountains and bring down timber and build my house, so that I may take pleasure in it and be honored,” says the Lord.

⁹“You expected much, but see, it turned out to be little. What you brought home, I blew away. Why?” declares the Lord Almighty. “Because of my house, which remains a ruin, while each of you is busy with your own house.

¹⁰Therefore, because of you the heavens have withheld their dew and the earth its crops.

¹¹I called for a drought on the fields and the mountains, on the grain, the new wine, the olive oil and everything else the ground produces, on people and livestock, and on all the labor of your hands.”

¹²Then Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, Joshua son of Jozadak, the high priest, and the whole remnant of the people obeyed the voice of the Lord their God and the message of the prophet Haggai, because the Lord their God had sent him. And the people feared the Lord.

¹³Then Haggai, the Lord’s messenger, gave this message of the Lord to the people: “I am with you,” declares the Lord.

¹⁴So the Lord stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua son of Jozadak, the high priest, and the spirit of the whole remnant of the people. They came and began to work on the house of the Lord Almighty, their God,

¹⁵on the twenty-fourth day of the sixth month. The Promised Glory of the New House In the second year of King Darius,

Leviticus 14

1 The Lord said to Moses,

²“These are the regulations for any diseased person at the time of their ceremonial cleansing, when they are brought to the priest:

³The priest is to go outside the camp and examine them. If they have been healed of their defiling skin disease,

⁴the priest shall order that two live clean birds and some cedar wood, scarlet yarn and hyssop be brought for the person to be cleansed.

⁵Then the priest shall order that one of the birds be killed over fresh water in a clay pot.

⁶He is then to take the live bird and dip it, together with the cedar wood, the scarlet yarn and the hyssop, into the blood of the bird that was killed over the fresh water.

⁷Seven times he shall sprinkle the one to be cleansed of the defiling disease, and then pronounce them clean. After that, he is to release the live bird in the open fields.

⁸“The person to be cleansed must wash their clothes, shave off all their hair and bathe with water; then they will be ceremonially clean. After this they may come into the camp,but they must stay outside their tent for seven days.

⁹On the seventh day they must shave off all their hair; they must shave their head, their beard, their eyebrows and the rest of their hair. They must wash their clothes and bathe themselves with water, and they will be clean.

¹⁰“On the eighth day they must bring two male lambs and one ewe lamb a year old, each without defect, along with three-tenths of an ephah of the finest flour mixed with olive oil for a grain offering, and one log of oil.

¹¹The priest who pronounces them clean shall present both the one to be cleansed and their offerings before the Lord at the entrance to the tent of meeting.

¹²“Then the priest is to take one of the male lambs and offer it as a guilt offering, along with the log of oil; he shall wave them before the Lord as a wave offering.

¹³He is to slaughter the lamb in the sanctuary area where the sin offering and the burnt offering are slaughtered. Like the sin offering, the guilt offering belongs to the priest; it is most holy.

¹⁴The priest is to take some of the blood of the guilt offering and put it on the lobe of the right ear of the one to be cleansed, on the thumb of their right hand and on the big toe of their right foot.

¹⁵The priest shall then take some of the log of oil, pour it in the palm of his own left hand,

¹⁶dip his right forefinger into the oil in his palm, and with his finger sprinkle some of it before the Lord seven times.

¹⁷The priest is to put some of the oil remaining in his palm on the lobe of the right ear of the one to be cleansed, on the thumb of their right hand and on the big toe of their right foot, on top of the blood of the guilt offering.

¹⁸The rest of the oil in his palm the priest shall put on the head of the one to be cleansed and make atonement for them before the Lord.

¹⁹“Then the priest is to sacrifice the sin offering and make atonement for the one to be cleansed from their uncleanness.After that, the priest shall slaughter the burnt offering

²⁰and offer it on the altar, together with the grain offering, and make atonement for them, and they will be clean.

²¹“If, however, they are poor and cannot afford these, they must take one male lamb as a guilt offering to be waved to make atonement for them, together with a tenth of an ephahof the finest flour mixed with olive oil for a grain offering, a log of oil,

²²and two doves or two young pigeons, such as they can afford, one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering.

²³“On the eighth day they must bring them for their cleansing to the priest at the entrance to the tent of meeting, before the Lord.

²⁴The priest is to take the lamb for the guilt offering, together with the log of oil, and wave them before the Lord as a wave offering.

²⁵He shall slaughter the lamb for the guilt offering and take some of its blood and put it on the lobe of the right ear of the one to be cleansed, on the thumb of their right hand and on the big toe of their right foot.

²⁶The priest is to pour some of the oil into the palm of his own left hand,

²⁷and with his right forefinger sprinkle some of the oil from his palm seven times before the Lord.

²⁸Some of the oil in his palm he is to put on the same places he put the blood of the guilt offering—on the lobe of the right ear of the one to be cleansed, on the thumb of their right hand and on the big toe of their right foot.

²⁹The rest of the oil in his palm the priest shall put on the head of the one to be cleansed, to make atonement for them before the Lord.

³⁰Then he shall sacrifice the doves or the young pigeons, such as the person can afford,

³¹one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering,together with the grain offering. In this way the priest will make atonement before the Lord on behalf of the one to be cleansed.”

³²These are the regulations for anyone who has a defiling skin disease and who cannot afford the regular offerings for their cleansing.

³³The Lord said to Moses and Aaron,

³⁴“When you enter the land of Canaan, which I am giving you as your possession, and I put a spreading mold in a house in that land,

³⁵the owner of the house must go and tell the priest, ‘I have seen something that looks like a defiling mold in my house.’

³⁶The priest is to order the house to be emptied before he goes in to examine the mold, so that nothing in the house will be pronounced unclean. After this the priest is to go in and inspect the house.

³⁷He is to examine the mold on the walls, and if it has greenish or reddish depressions that appear to be deeper than the surface of the wall,

³⁸the priest shall go out the doorway of the house and close it up for seven days.

³⁹On the seventh day the priest shall return to inspect the house. If the mold has spread on the walls,

⁴⁰he is to order that the contaminated stones be torn out and thrown into an unclean place outside the town.

⁴¹He must have all the inside walls of the house scraped and the material that is scraped off dumped into an unclean place outside the town.

⁴²Then they are to take other stones to replace these and take new clay and plaster the house.

⁴³“If the defiling mold reappears in the house after the stones have been torn out and the house scraped and plastered,

⁴⁴the priest is to go and examine it and, if the mold has spread in the house, it is a persistent defiling mold; the house is unclean.

⁴⁵It must be torn down—its stones, timbers and all the plaster—and taken out of the town to an unclean place.

⁴⁶“Anyone who goes into the house while it is closed up will be unclean till evening.

⁴⁷Anyone who sleeps or eats in the house must wash their clothes.

⁴⁸“But if the priest comes to examine it and the mold has not spread after the house has been plastered, he shall pronounce the house clean, because the defiling mold is gone.

⁴⁹To purify the house he is to take two birds and some cedar wood, scarlet yarn and hyssop.

⁵⁰He shall kill one of the birds over fresh water in a clay pot.

⁵¹Then he is to take the cedar wood, the hyssop, the scarlet yarn and the live bird, dip them into the blood of the dead bird and the fresh water, and sprinkle the house seven times.

⁵²He shall purify the house with the bird’s blood, the fresh water, the live bird, the cedar wood, the hyssop and the scarlet yarn.

⁵³Then he is to release the live bird in the open fields outside the town. In this way he will make atonement for the house, and it will be clean.”

⁵⁴These are the regulations for any defiling skin disease, for a sore,

⁵⁵for defiling molds in fabric or in a house,

⁵⁶and for a swelling, a rash or a shiny spot,

⁵⁷to determine when something is clean or unclean. These are the regulations for defiling skin diseases and defiling molds.

The Battle Of Jericho

This is one of my favorites in the Bible. It is inspiring. It shows when God is with us we can do anything. Those thick walls will come down for us. It also makes me want one of those rams’ horns, lol.

Joshua 6

1 Now the gates of Jericho were securely barred because of the Israelites. No one went out and no one came in.
²Then the Lord said to Joshua, “See, I have delivered Jericho into your hands, along with its king and its fighting men.
³March around the city once with all the armed men. Do this for six days.
⁴Have seven priests carry trumpets of rams’ horns in front of the ark. On the seventh day, march around the city seven times, with the priests blowing the trumpets.
⁵When you hear them sound a long blast on the trumpets, have the whole army give a loud shout; then the wall of the city will collapse and the army will go up, everyone straight in.”
⁶So Joshua son of Nun called the priests and said to them, “Take up the ark of the covenant of the Lord and have seven priests carry trumpets in front of it.”
⁷And he ordered the army, “Advance! March around the city, with an armed guard going ahead of the ark of the Lord.”
⁸When Joshua had spoken to the people, the seven priests carrying the seven trumpets before the Lord went forward, blowing their trumpets, and the ark of the Lord’s covenant followed them.
⁹The armed guard marched ahead of the priests who blew the trumpets, and the rear guard followed the ark. All this time the trumpets were sounding.
¹⁰But Joshua had commanded the army, “Do not give a war cry, do not raise your voices, do not say a word until the day I tell you to shout. Then shout!”
¹¹So he had the ark of the Lord carried around the city, circling it once. Then the army returned to camp and spent the night there.
¹²Joshua got up early the next morning and the priests took up the ark of the Lord.
¹³The seven priests carrying the seven trumpets went forward, marching before the ark of the Lord and blowing the trumpets. The armed men went ahead of them and the rear guard followed the ark of the Lord, while the trumpets kept sounding.
¹⁴So on the second day they marched around the city once and returned to the camp. They did this for six days.
¹⁵On the seventh day, they got up at daybreak and marched around the city seven times in the same manner, except that on that day they circled the city seven times.
¹⁶The seventh time around, when the priests sounded the trumpet blast, Joshua commanded the army, “Shout! For the Lord has given you the city!
¹⁷The city and all that is in it are to be devoted to the Lord. Only Rahab the prostitute and all who are with her in her house shall be spared, because she hid the spies we sent.
¹⁸But keep away from the devoted things, so that you will not bring about your own destruction by taking any of them. Otherwise you will make the camp of Israel liable to destruction and bring trouble on it.
¹⁹All the silver and gold and the articles of bronze and iron are sacred to the Lord and must go into his treasury.”
²⁰When the trumpets sounded, the army shouted, and at the sound of the trumpet, when the men gave a loud shout, the wall collapsed; so everyone charged straight in, and they took the city.
²¹They devoted the city to the Lord and destroyed with the sword every living thing in it—men and women, young and old, cattle, sheep and donkeys.
²²Joshua said to the two men who had spied out the land, “Go into the prostitute’s house and bring her out and all who belong to her, in accordance with your oath to her.”
²³So the young men who had done the spying went in and brought out Rahab, her father and mother, her brothers and sisters and all who belonged to her. They brought out her entire family and put them in a place outside the camp of Israel.
²⁴Then they burned the whole city and everything in it, but they put the silver and gold and the articles of bronze and iron into the treasury of the Lord’s house.
²⁵But Joshua spared Rahab the prostitute, with her family and all who belonged to her, because she hid the men Joshua had sent as spies to Jericho—and she lives among the Israelites to this day.
²⁶At that time Joshua pronounced this solemn oath: “Cursed before the Lord is the one who undertakes to rebuild this city, Jericho:
“At the cost of his firstborn son he will lay its foundations; at the cost of his youngest he will set up its gates.”
²⁷So the Lord was with Joshua, and his fame spread throughout the land.

Bumper Sticker Of The Day (3-28-2013)

A Silly Question On 3-28-2013

Do you recall ever hearing of leaders banning swords back in the day?

Creed-Third Day And Brandon Heath

Hebrews 8

1 Now the main point of what we are saying is this: We do have such a high priest, who sat down at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven,

²and who serves in the sanctuary, the true tabernacle set up by the Lord, not by a mere human being.

³Every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices, and so it was necessary for this one also to have something to offer.

⁴If he were on earth, he would not be a priest, for there are already priests who offer the gifts prescribed by the law.

⁵They serve at a sanctuary that is a copy and shadow of what is in heaven. This is why Moses was warned when he was about to build the tabernacle: “See to it that you make everything according to the pattern shown you on the mountain.”

⁶But in fact the ministry Jesus has received is as superior to theirs as the covenant of which he is mediator is superior to the old one, since the new covenant is established on better promises.

⁷For if there had been nothing wrong with that first covenant, no place would have been sought for another.

⁸But God found fault with the people and said: “The days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the people of Israel and with the people of Judah.

⁹It will not be like the covenant I made with their ancestors when I took them by the hand to lead them out of Egypt, because they did not remain faithful to my covenant, and I turned away from them, declares the Lord.

¹⁰This is the covenant I will establish with the people of Israel after that time, declares the Lord. I will put my laws in their minds and write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people.

¹¹No longer will they teach their neighbor, or say to one another, ‘Know the Lord,’ because they will all know me,
from the least of them to the greatest.

¹²For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more.”

¹³By calling this covenant “new,” he has made the first one obsolete; and what is obsolete and outdated will soon disappear.

Zephaniah 3

1 Woe to the city of oppressors, rebellious and defiled!

²She obeys no one, she accepts no correction. She does not trust in the Lord, she does not draw near to her God.

³Her officials within her are roaring lions; her rulers are evening wolves, who leave nothing for the morning.

⁴Her prophets are unprincipled; they are treacherous people. Her priests profane the sanctuary and do violence to the law.

⁵The Lord within her is righteous; he does no wrong.
Morning by morning he dispenses his justice, and every new day he does not fail, yet the unrighteous know no shame.

⁶“I have destroyed nations; their strongholds are demolished. I have left their streets deserted, with no one passing through. Their cities are laid waste; they are deserted and empty.

⁷Of Jerusalem I thought, ‘Surely you will fear me
and accept correction!’ Then her place of refuge would not be destroyed, nor all my punishments come upon her. But they were still eager to act corruptly in all they did.

⁸Therefore wait for me,” declares the Lord, “for the day I will stand up to testify. I have decided to assemble the nations, to gather the kingdoms and to pour out my wrath on them—all my fierce anger. The whole world will be consumed by the fire of my jealous anger.

⁹“Then I will purify the lips of the peoples, that all of them may call on the name of the Lord and serve him shoulder to shoulder.

¹⁰From beyond the rivers of Cush my worshipers, my scattered people, will bring me offerings.

¹¹On that day you, Jerusalem, will not be put to shame
for all the wrongs you have done to me, because I will remove from you your arrogant boasters. Never again will you be haughty on my holy hill.

¹²But I will leave within you the meek and humble. The remnant of Israel will trust in the name of the Lord.

¹³They will do no wrong; they will tell no lies. A deceitful tongue will not be found in their mouths.
They will eat and lie down and no one will make them afraid.”

¹⁴Sing, Daughter Zion; shout aloud, Israel! Be glad and rejoice with all your heart, Daughter Jerusalem!

¹⁵The Lord has taken away your punishment, he has turned back your enemy. The Lord, the King of Israel, is with you; never again will you fear any harm.

¹⁶On that day they will say to Jerusalem, “Do not fear, Zion; do not let your hands hang limp.

¹⁷The Lord your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves. He will take great delight in you; in his love he will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing.”

¹⁸“I will remove from you all who mourn over the loss of your appointed festivals, which is a burden and reproach for you.

¹⁹At that time I will deal with all who oppressed you. I will rescue the lame; I will gather the exiles. I will give them praise and honor in every land where they have suffered shame.

²⁰At that time I will gather you; at that time I will bring you home. I will give you honor and praise among all the peoples of the earth when I restore your fortunes
before your very eyes,” says the Lord.

Leviticus 13

1 The Lord said to Moses and Aaron,

²“When anyone has a swelling or a rash or a shiny spot on their skin that may be a defiling skin disease, they must be brought to Aaron the priest or to one of his sons who is a priest.

³The priest is to examine the sore on the skin, and if the hair in the sore has turned white and the sore appears to be more than skin deep, it is a defiling skin disease. When the priest examines that person, he shall pronounce them ceremonially unclean.

⁴If the shiny spot on the skin is white but does not appear to be more than skin deep and the hair in it has not turned white, the priest is to isolate the affected person for seven days.

⁵On the seventh day the priest is to examine them, and if he sees that the sore is unchanged and has not spread in the skin, he is to isolate them for another seven days.

⁶On the seventh day the priest is to examine them again, and if the sore has faded and has not spread in the skin, the priest shall pronounce them clean; it is only a rash. They must wash their clothes, and they will be clean.

⁷But if the rash does spread in their skin after they have shown themselves to the priest to be pronounced clean, they must appear before the priest again.

⁸The priest is to examine that person, and if the rash has spread in the skin, he shall pronounce them unclean; it is a defiling skin disease.

⁹“When anyone has a defiling skin disease, they must be brought to the priest.

¹⁰The priest is to examine them, and if there is a white swelling in the skin that has turned the hair white and if there is raw flesh in the swelling,

¹¹it is a chronic skin disease and the priest shall pronounce them unclean. He is not to isolate them, because they are already unclean.

¹²“If the disease breaks out all over their skin and, so far as the priest can see, it covers all the skin of the affected person from head to foot,

¹³the priest is to examine them, and if the disease has covered their whole body, he shall pronounce them clean. Since it has all turned white, they are clean.

¹⁴But whenever raw flesh appears on them, they will be unclean.

¹⁵When the priest sees the raw flesh, he shall pronounce them unclean. The raw flesh is unclean; they have a defiling disease.

¹⁶If the raw flesh changes and turns white, they must go to the priest.

¹⁷The priest is to examine them, and if the sores have turned white, the priest shall pronounce the affected person clean; then they will be clean.

¹⁸“When someone has a boil on their skin and it heals,

¹⁹and in the place where the boil was, a white swelling or reddish-white spot appears, they must present themselves to the priest.

²⁰The priest is to examine it, and if it appears to be more than skin deep and the hair in it has turned white, the priest shall pronounce that person unclean. It is a defiling skin disease that has broken out where the boil was.

²¹But if, when the priest examines it, there is no white hair in it and it is not more than skin deep and has faded, then the priest is to isolate them for seven days.

²²If it is spreading in the skin, the priest shall pronounce them unclean; it is a defiling disease.

²³But if the spot is unchanged and has not spread, it is only a scar from the boil, and the priest shall pronounce them clean.

²⁴“When someone has a burn on their skin and a reddish-white or white spot appears in the raw flesh of the burn,

²⁵the priest is to examine the spot, and if the hair in it has turned white, and it appears to be more than skin deep, it is a defiling disease that has broken out in the burn. The priest shall pronounce them unclean; it is a defiling skin disease.

²⁶But if the priest examines it and there is no white hair in the spot and if it is not more than skin deep and has faded, then the priest is to isolate them for seven days.

²⁷On the seventh day the priest is to examine that person, and if it is spreading in the skin, the priest shall pronounce them unclean; it is a defiling skin disease.

²⁸If, however, the spot is unchanged and has not spread in the skin but has faded, it is a swelling from the burn, and the priest shall pronounce them clean; it is only a scar from the burn.

²⁹“If a man or woman has a sore on their head or chin,

³⁰the priest is to examine the sore, and if it appears to be more than skin deep and the hair in it is yellow and thin, the priest shall pronounce them unclean; it is a defiling skin disease on the head or chin.

³¹But if, when the priest examines the sore, it does not seem to be more than skin deep and there is no black hair in it, then the priest is to isolate the affected person for seven days.

³²On the seventh day the priest is to examine the sore, and if it has not spread and there is no yellow hair in it and it does not appear to be more than skin deep,

³³then the man or woman must shave themselves, except for the affected area, and the priest is to keep them isolated another seven days.

³⁴On the seventh day the priest is to examine the sore,and if it has not spread in the skin and appears to be no more than skin deep, the priest shall pronounce them clean. They must wash their clothes, and they will be clean.

³⁵But if the sore does spread in the skin after they are pronounced clean,

³⁶the priest is to examine them, and if he finds that the sore has spread in the skin, he does not need to look for yellow hair; they are unclean.

³⁷If, however, the sore is unchanged so far as the priest can see, and if black hair has grown in it, the affected person is healed. They are clean, and the priest shall pronounce them clean.

³⁸“When a man or woman has white spots on the skin,

³⁹the priest is to examine them, and if the spots are dull white, it is a harmless rash that has broken out on the skin; they are clean.

⁴⁰“A man who has lost his hair and is bald is clean.

⁴¹If he has lost his hair from the front of his scalp and has a bald forehead, he is clean.

⁴²But if he has a reddish-white sore on his bald head or forehead, it is a defiling disease breaking out on his head or forehead.

⁴³The priest is to examine him, and if the swollen sore on his head or forehead is reddish-white like a defiling skin disease,

⁴⁴the man is diseased and is unclean. The priest shall pronounce him unclean because of the sore on his head.

⁴⁵“Anyone with such a defiling disease must wear torn clothes, let their hair be unkempt, cover the lower part of their face and cry out, ‘Unclean! Unclean!’

⁴⁶As long as they have the disease they remain unclean. They must live alone; they must live outside the camp.

⁴⁷“As for any fabric that is spoiled with a defiling mold—any woolen or linen clothing,

⁴⁸any woven or knitted material of linen or wool, any leather or anything made of leather—

⁴⁹if the affected area in the fabric, the leather, the woven or knitted material, or any leather article, is greenish or reddish, it is a defiling mold and must be shown to the priest.

⁵⁰The priest is to examine the affected area and isolate the article for seven days.

⁵¹On the seventh day he is to examine it, and if the mold has spread in the fabric, the woven or knitted material, or the leather, whatever its use, it is a persistent defiling mold; the article is unclean.

⁵²He must burn the fabric, the woven or knitted material of wool or linen, or any leather article that has been spoiled; because the defiling mold is persistent, the article must be burned.

⁵³“But if, when the priest examines it, the mold has not spread in the fabric, the woven or knitted material, or the leather article,

⁵⁴he shall order that the spoiled article be washed. Then he is to isolate it for another seven days.

⁵⁵After the article has been washed, the priest is to examine it again, and if the mold has not changed its appearance, even though it has not spread, it is unclean. Burn it, no matter which side of the fabric has been spoiled.

⁵⁶If, when the priest examines it, the mold has faded after the article has been washed, he is to tear the spoiled part out of the fabric, the leather, or the woven or knitted material.

⁵⁷But if it reappears in the fabric, in the woven or knitted material, or in the leather article, it is a spreading mold; whatever has the mold must be burned.

⁵⁸Any fabric, woven or knitted material, or any leather article that has been washed and is rid of the mold, must be washed again. Then it will be clean.”

⁵⁹These are the regulations concerning defiling molds in woolen or linen clothing, woven or knitted material, or any leather article, for pronouncing them clean or unclean.

Woe To Leaders Who Make Unjust Laws

This was a woe to Assyria leaders but I couldn’t help to strongly think it applied to our leaders today too. Remember there is nothing new under the sun from ancient times to present. Only thing changed is names, times, tech, and weapons.

Isaiah 10:1-4

1 Woe to those who make unjust laws, to those who issue oppressive decrees,

²to deprive the poor of their rights and withhold justice from the oppressed of my people, making widows their prey and robbing the fatherless.

³What will you do on the day of reckoning, when disaster comes from afar? To whom will you run for help? Where will you leave your riches?

⁴Nothing will remain but to cringe among the captives or fall among the slain. Yet for all this, his anger is not turned away, his hand is still upraised.

Drive For Show; Take Our Dough-The Great Eight

Strong Enough-Matthew West

Hebrews 7

1 This Melchizedek was king of Salem and priest of God Most High. He met Abraham returning from the defeat of the kings and blessed him,

²and Abraham gave him a tenth of everything. First, the name Melchizedek means “king of righteousness”; then also, “king of Salem” means “king of peace.”

³Without father or mother, without genealogy, without beginning of days or end of life, resembling the Son of God, he remains a priest forever.

⁴Just think how great he was: Even the patriarch Abraham gave him a tenth of the plunder!

⁵Now the law requires the descendants of Levi who become priests to collect a tenth from the people—that is, from their fellow Israelites—even though they also are descended from Abraham.

⁶This man, however, did not trace his descent from Levi, yet he collected a tenth from Abraham and blessed him who had the promises.

⁷And without doubt the lesser is blessed by the greater.

⁸In the one case, the tenth is collected by people who die; but in the other case, by him who is declared to be living.

⁹One might even say that Levi, who collects the tenth, paid the tenth through Abraham,

¹⁰because when Melchizedek met Abraham, Levi was still in the body of his ancestor.

¹¹If perfection could have been attained through the Levitical priesthood—and indeed the law given to the people established that priesthood—why was there still need for another priest to come, one in the order of Melchizedek, not in the order of Aaron?

¹²For when the priesthood is changed, the law must be changed also.

¹³He of whom these things are said belonged to a different tribe, and no one from that tribe has ever served at the altar.

¹⁴For it is clear that our Lord descended from Judah, and in regard to that tribe Moses said nothing about priests.

¹⁵And what we have said is even more clear if another priest like Melchizedek appears,

¹⁶one who has become a priest not on the basis of a regulation as to his ancestry but on the basis of the power of an indestructible life.

¹⁷For it is declared: “You are a priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek.”

¹⁸The former regulation is set aside because it was weak and useless

¹⁹(for the law made nothing perfect), and a better hope is introduced, by which we draw near to God.

²⁰And it was not without an oath! Others became priests without any oath,

²¹but he became a priest with an oath when God said to him: “The Lord has sworn and will not change his mind:
‘You are a priest forever.’”

²²Because of this oath, Jesus has become the guarantor of a better covenant.

²³Now there have been many of those priests, since death prevented them from continuing in office;

²⁴but because Jesus lives forever, he has a permanent priesthood.

²⁵Therefore he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them.

²⁶Such a high priest truly meets our need—one who is holy, blameless, pure, set apart from sinners, exalted above the heavens.

²⁷Unlike the other high priests, he does not need to offer sacrifices day after day, first for his own sins, and then for the sins of the people. He sacrificed for their sins once for all when he offered himself.

²⁸For the law appoints as high priests men in all their weakness; but the oath, which came after the law, appointed the Son, who has been made perfect forever.

Zephaniah 2

1 Gather together, gather yourselves together, you shameful nation,

²before the decree takes effect and that day passes like windblown chaff, before the Lord’s fierce anger comes upon you, before the day of the Lord’s wrath comes upon you.

³Seek the Lord, all you humble of the land, you who do what he commands. Seek righteousness, seek humility;
perhaps you will be sheltered on the day of the Lord’s anger.

⁴Gaza will be abandoned and Ashkelon left in ruins.
At midday Ashdod will be emptied and Ekron uprooted.

⁵Woe to you who live by the sea, you Kerethite people;
the word of the Lord is against you, Canaan, land of the Philistines. He says, “I will destroy you, and none will be left.”

⁶The land by the sea will become pastures having wells for shepherds and pens for flocks.

⁷That land will belong to the remnant of the people of Judah; there they will find pasture. In the evening they will lie down in the houses of Ashkelon. The Lord their God will care for them; he will restore their fortunes.

⁸“I have heard the insults of Moab and the taunts of the Ammonites, who insulted my people and made threats against their land.

⁹Therefore, as surely as I live,” declares the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, “surely Moab will become like Sodom, the Ammonites like Gomorrah—a place of weeds and salt pits, a wasteland forever. The remnant of my people will plunder them; the survivors of my nation will inherit their land.”

¹⁰This is what they will get in return for their pride, for insulting and mocking the people of the Lord Almighty.

¹¹The Lord will be awesome to them when he destroys all the gods of the earth. Distant nations will bow down to him, all of them in their own lands.

¹²“You Cushites, too, will be slain by my sword.”

¹³He will stretch out his hand against the north and destroy Assyria, leaving Nineveh utterly desolate and dry as the desert.

¹⁴Flocks and herds will lie down there, creatures of every kind. The desert owl and the screech owl will roost on her columns. Their hooting will echo through the windows, rubble will fill the doorways, the beams of cedar will be exposed.

¹⁵This is the city of revelry that lived in safety. She said to herself, “I am the one! And there is none besides me.”
What a ruin she has become, a lair for wild beasts! All who pass by her scoff and shake their fists.

Leviticus 12

1 The Lord said to Moses,

²“Say to the Israelites: ‘A woman who becomes pregnant and gives birth to a son will be ceremonially unclean for seven days, just as she is unclean during her monthly period.

³On the eighth day the boy is to be circumcised.

⁴Then the woman must wait thirty-three days to be purified from her bleeding. She must not touch anything sacred or go to the sanctuary until the days of her purification are over.

⁵If she gives birth to a daughter, for two weeks the woman will be unclean, as during her period. Then she must wait sixty-six days to be purified from her bleeding.

⁶“‘When the days of her purification for a son or daughter are over, she is to bring to the priest at the entrance to the tent of meeting a year-old lamb for a burnt offering and a young pigeon or a dove for a sin offering.

⁷He shall offer them before the Lord to make atonement for her, and then she will be ceremonially clean from her flow of blood. “‘These are the regulations for the woman who gives birth to a boy or a girl.

⁸But if she cannot afford a lamb, she is to bring two doves or two young pigeons, one for a burnt offering and the other for a sin offering. In this way the priest will make atonement for her, and she will be clean.’”

Courageous: The Resolution

Dear God, We’re Doing Wrong

Dear God, our Congress and Senate leaders are doing wrong. They tell us they will stand up for what is right then cave and do what is wrong. They won’t repeal a big tax bill. They don’t care it hurts the people. They make laws to watch people and scheme to do them harm. When one sticks up for the people, the oppose use their sword of a tongue to cut them down with cruel words. They won’t impeach a president that covers up scandal for his administration and self. They won’t take down an Attorney General, who lies and gun runs. Each day they let the president take more of the people’s rights away or they do it. Dear God, they sure act like their doing something for the American people when evidence shows their doing nothing. Dear God, I don’t think they care about us.

Dear God, our president is doing wrong. He says he is a Christian yet he sticks up more for Muslims than Christians. He doesn’t protect our unborn. He believes babies are a punishment not a blessing. Dear God, I don’t believe he cares for the American people. He tramples on our rights. He acts like the Pharisees adding more laws to burden the people. He picks so called child molester as Czar of education. He let’s his Department of Health make mandates that go against the people’s conscience. Dear God, I really don’t think he knows right from wrong. He lies about what happen in Benghazi and he covers up for gun running. Dear God, I think he courts treason. Dear God, he thinks we cling too much to You and our guns. He doesn’t understand our beliefs come from You, not just our founding fathers.

Dear God, our Mainstream Media is doing wrong. They lie and twist words to protect their beloved president. Their beloved president treats them like dogs. Yet, they come panting for more abuse. They didn’t mention the voter fraud in their news if they did it was to side with the person doing the fraud. They don’t care that the President might of won the election by crook. They don’t pay attention to Benghazi or Fast and Furious. Dear God, they call evil good and good evil. They sided with rapists. They call American people names that doesn’t think like they do. Yet, they expect us to watch them after that. Dear God, they really got their priorities wrong. Their news isn’t fair and objective. They sided with radical Islam. They didn’t even mention the beheading of two Christians by one. If they did it was low key.

Dear God, we have pastors doing wrong. Some have cheated on their spouses but stand at pulpit like a peacock thinking they did nothing wrong. They didn’t do the right thing and step down for a time to get themselves right with You and spouses and take their punishment like a man. Dear God didn’t they consider the outside people looking in and thinking them a hypocrite. Why should they come to church when some of the church leaders do this? Dear God, we have some reverends that preach the race card to cause an unwarranted disaster. They act like they don’t care who gets hurt, they just want to spread hate. We have some that want you to damn America. Dear God, there are some that cover up for a child molester. They keep it hush hush. They don’t shun the molester but transfer him some place else. Another family gets hurt by the molester They should of done right and turned him in. The molester might of turn from his ways instead of feeling encouraged to do his molesting some place else. The church looks like a do nothing right church. Dear God, there are church leaders that are leading your people astray. They preach a different gospel and don’t teach Jesus died on the cross for us. Your people are lead astray. Isn’t any wonder God some have no respect for the church. There are some Christians out there that tell us not to make waves. You might start conflict. Didn’t they read the Bible, God? The prophets were told to go out by You to let people know they were doing evil and give prophesy against the evildoers that does not change. John The Baptist let Herod know he was doing wrong towards his brother’s wife. Daniel stood up for his belief and sent to the lion’s den. Jesus let the Pharisees know they were doing wrong in Your eyes. Paul teaches us to exposed the evildoer to kick them out if they don’t change. Dear God, I wonder why more Christians aren’t calling out against wrong doing.

Dear God, I ask you to have mercy on us. We are doing wrong. Teach us your ways and helps us to restore our country, our government, our media, our church, heal our land. We can’t do it without you. We need leaders that will love their people like You love us. We need leaders that will lay their life for their people like Jesus. No greater love have he than one who lays his life for another. We need leaders that will stand up for their people like You do. Dear God, we need courageous leaders not spineless zombies. Dear God, give us leaders that won’t purposely put our kids, our grandkids, and our great grandkids in debt. Give us leaders that will do right. Dear God, have mercy and help us.

Hebrews 9

11 But when Christ came as high priest of the good things that are now already here, he went through the greater and more perfect tabernacle that is not made with human hands, that is to say, is not a part of this creation.

12 He did not enter by means of the blood of goats and calves; but he entered the Most Holy Place once for all by his own blood, thus obtaining eternal redemption.

13 The blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer sprinkled on those who are ceremonially unclean sanctify them so that they are outwardly clean.

14 How much more, then, will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences from acts that lead to death, so that we may serve the living God!

Haggai 1

Leviticus 14

33 The Lord said to Moses and Aaron,

34 “When you enter the land of Canaan, which I am giving you as your possession, and I put a spreading mold in a house in that land,

35 the owner of the house must go and tell the priest, ‘I have seen something that looks like a defiling mold in my house.’

36 The priest is to order the house to be emptied before he goes in to examine the mold, so that nothing in the house will be pronounced unclean. After this the priest is to go in and inspect the house.

37 He is to examine the mold on the walls, and if it has greenish or reddish depressions that appear to be deeper than the surface of the wall,

38 the priest shall go out the doorway of the house and close it up for seven days.

39 On the seventh day the priest shall return to inspect the house. If the mold has spread on the walls,

40 he is to order that the contaminated stones be torn out and thrown into an unclean place outside the town.

41 He must have all the inside walls of the house scraped and the material that is scraped off dumped into an unclean place outside the town.

42 Then they are to take other stones to replace these and take new clay and plaster the house.

Joshua 6
