The Prophetic Meaning Of The Cup - Messianic Rabbi Zev Porat Preaches

 

  

 "I will take the cup of salvation (Yeshua) and call upon
 the name of the Lord. I will pay my vows unto
the Lord now in the presence of all His people."
(Psalm 116:13-14)

 "After taking the cup, He gave thanks and said: "Take this and divide it
among yourselves. For I tell you that I will not drink of the fruit of
the vine from now on until the kingdom of God comes."
(Luke 22:17-18)

 
A special message for the upcoming Passover
 from brother Zev Porat in Jerusalem.

Please pray that his street ministry in witnessing the glorious good
  news of salvation through Yeshua may continue unhindered in these
 uncertain and perilous days for the nation and people of Israel.

Sha'alu shalom Yerushalayim! 

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!  Maranatha!

Martha And Mary

 

 

 "Martha, Martha, the Lord replied, "you are worried and upset about many things.
But only one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion and
it will not be taken away from her."
(Luke 10:41-42)

 Martha was busy and hurried,

Serving the Friend divine,

Cleansing the cups and platters,

Bringing the bread and wine;

But Martha was careful and anxious

Fretted in thought and in word. 

She had no time to be sitting

While she was serving the Lord,

For Martha was "troubled" with "things"...

Those that would pass with the using...

She was forgetting her wings. 

Mary was quiet and peaceful,

Learning to love and to live.

Mary was hearing His precepts,

Mary was letting Him give...

Give of the riches eternal,

Treasures of mind and of heart;

Learning the mind of the Master,

Choosing the better part. 

Do we ever labor at serving

Till voices grow fretful and shrill,

Forgetting how to be loving,

Forgetting how to be still?

Do we strive for "things" in possession,

And toll for the perishing meat,

Neglecting the one thing needful...

Sitting at Jesus' feet? 

Service is good when He asks it,

Labor is right in it's place,

But there is one thing better,

Looking up in His face;

There is so much He can tell us,

Truths that are precious and deep;

This is the place where He wants us,

These are the things we can keep.

Tuesday Bible Study With Les Feldick: Saul Changes To Paul

 

 

 

"I was formerly a blasphemer, a persecutor, and a violent man; yet because I had acted in
 ignorance and unbelief, I was shown mercy. And the grace of our Lord overflowed to me,
along with faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.  This is a trustworthy saying, worthy of
full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the worst." 
(1 Timothy 1:13-15)

Monday Meditation: How To Bloom

 

 

"In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have
had to suffer grief in various trials so that the proven character of your faith-
more precious than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire-may result
in praise, glory, and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ." 
(1 Peter 1:6-7)

My family and I live in an apartment, so our "flower garden" consists
of what we can grown in indoor pots. For a long time our plants would
not flower despite watering and fertilizing. Then we discovered that
the soil had to be raked and turned over if the plants were to bloom.
Now our potted plants are a pure joy to look at with their
healthy leaves and blooming flowers.

Sometimes we need a little raking and turning in our own lives to make us bloom.

Writing to the harassed believers in his day, Peter said,

  "Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trials which are to try you,
as though some strange thing happened to you: But rejoice, seeing you are
partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when His glory shall be revealed,
you may be glad also with exceeding joy."
(1 Peter 4:12-13)

Like the soil in our potted plants, these Christians were having their lives, "turned over."

God's purpose in doing that was to allow their faith to result in praise and glory
 to Him at the revelation of Jesus Christ.  God wants to loosen the things that can
choke our lives and that prevent us from radiating joy. To do this, He sometimes
has to allow pain and trouble-trials that help stir up the soil in our lives.

If this is what you are experiencing today, rejoice. Surrender to His touch 
 and acquire a joy and fruitfulness you never imagined possible.
