Why Should MY PEOPLE Should Keep the Feasts? Pt.4: Because it's YHWH's Service (Matthew 16:15-19)
JS LOWTHER - RNCM, November 15, 2018Part of the Why We Keep the Feasts!? series, preached at a SABBATH BIBLE STUDY service
Ever notice how some preachers are always talking about sending financial support? It's because many like to listen but few like to help. This message on keeping the feasts has had 40 average listeners every week through the internet... only one has helped support our costs in the last month.
We as GOD’s particular people are not called to a new form of Worship unmentioned or described by the Word of God, nor are we called to invent justification by laws which can never justify, rather we like our fathers whom YHWH GOD lead by hand out of Egypt we are called to SERVE Him according to his WORD, a WORD of solid Rock that is able to be made flesh like our stony hearts, hearts full of selfish Idolatry, taught by a land and a mind set on Self preservation in disregard of all else, it is of necessity that it is realized the the rock which grinds to powder is the rock that is needed to soften our heart as well by the mere magnitude of His nature. If we as a church will not be founded upon the Rock, the Rock will grind us to powder, and some of us will in the midst of being ground will become soft enough to beg for mercy and be justified by the faith which come by Jesus Christ. What is to be bound on earth has been declaired from heaven, and that which was loosed has been loosed, if we do not bind according to the laws of God, and if we do not loose according to the mercies of God we are not the church the gates of hell can not prevail against.
Rom 6:6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
Rom 6:15 What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.
Rom 6:16 Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?
Rom 6:17 But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.
Consider this call to service from our History, as the key to understanding the what YHWH’s service is:
Exo_5:1 Moses and Aaron... told Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Let my people go, that they may hold a feast unto me in the wilderness.
or
LET MY PEOPLE GO THAT THEY MAY SERVE ME!
