Don't betray Him. 5/3/15

Pray for Napal, and peace in Baltimore, and that the Prince of Peace would reign in the United States and in the world.

Day 123 - Reading the New Testament in one year.

Luke 22:31-46
31 “Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift all of you as wheat. 32 But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers.”

33 But he replied, “Lord, I am ready to go with you to prison and to death.”

34 Jesus answered, “I tell you, Peter, before the rooster crows today, you will deny three times that you know me.”

35 Then Jesus asked them, “When I sent you without purse, bag or sandals, did you lack anything?”

“Nothing,” they answered.

36 He said to them, “But now if you have a purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you don’t have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one. 37 It is written: ‘And he was numbered with the transgressors’[a]; and I tell you that this must be fulfilled in me. Yes, what is written about me is reaching its fulfillment.”

38 The disciples said, “See, Lord, here are two swords.”

“That’s enough!” he replied.

Jesus Prays on the Mount of Olives
39 Jesus went out as usual to the Mount of Olives, and his disciples followed him. 40 On reaching the place, he said to them, “Pray that you will not fall into temptation.” 41 He withdrew about a stone’s throw beyond them, knelt down and prayed, 42 “Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done.” 43 An angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him. 44 And being in anguish, he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground.[b]

45 When he rose from prayer and went back to the disciples, he found them asleep, exhausted from sorrow. 46 “Why are you sleeping?” he asked them. “Get up and pray so that you will not fall into temptation.”

May 3rd The blood and the new agreement

“But one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out.” JOHN 19:34
In our experience, many times we have to get over the “guilties” before we feel that God can come and operate in us. But by the precious blood of Jesus, God holds everything in suspension in order that He can get His life into us. The blood holds all our problems in suspension so that there could be an impartation of life (signified by water). On the cross when the soldiers put the spear into the Lord’s side, not only blood came out, but blood and water. The blood was for cleansing and for enacting a new agreement. What is the agreement? The agreement is that God Himself comes into us and does the work on us from the inside: “I am going to write My laws upon your heart. I am going to operate on your inward parts.” The blood of Christ has made it possible for us to partake of God in a direct way. While the blood is present over us, the life is being imparted. God is telling us, “In your condition, the way you are, I am writing My laws, I am writing My nature, I am writing Myself into you. And all the time, your part is just to look at Me, partake of Me, and enjoy Me.” This is the blood of the new covenant. This is the blood of Jesus that gives us boldness.
