Come To Me Present Tense

On the Feast of Tabernacles, the nation of Israel would pray for the outpouring of rain and God’s blessings on the land. So it’s no accident, that on that same feast, the Feast of Tabernacles, that Messiah said, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink. He who believes in me, as the Scirpture has said, out of his innermost being shall flow rivers of living water.” He spoke of the Spirit. And He did so on the Feast of Tabernacles because it was then that Israel was praying for a future outpouring of rain and blessings. But notice something – they were praying for water, for rain, to be poured out in the future. But Messiah spoke in the present tense. In other words, the life of the Spirit, and the life of abundance, is never dependent on waiting for some blessing to happen in the future. It’s now. So don’t live a life waiting for God’s blessings. Enter His blessings now. Enter the abundant life now. For the Spirit and the blessings of abundant life are now. And the only time to enter it – is now!

Today’s Mission – What blessing from God are you still waiting for? Live in the blessing of God now, start walking in it, start living it.

The 70 A.D. Proof Of Messiah

The prophet Daniel prophesied that the Messiah would come to Jerusalem and then “the city and the sanctuary” (the Temple) would be destroyed. It all came to pass in 70 AD. So Israel’s Messiah had to come before that moment. The Rabbis have followed other people claiming to be the Messiah and observant Jews are still waiting for Messiah. But the cut-off date was already given and there’s only one contender in all of human history: born in Bethlehem, rode a donkey into Jerusalem, and died for our sins – all according to Hebrew prophecy. And He did it all before the year 70 AD. And yet for 2000 years, Messiah’s own people have still been searching. We can be like that too. Even though you know the Lord you can still be searching for your fulfillment through other things in a million other ways. But God’s made it clear. There’s only one way you can be fulfilled. Joy, peace, and true blessing are only found in Him. There are no other contenders. Get your eyes back on Him. He’s still the One, even for you, there’s no one else.

Today’s Mission – Today, put your thoughts and actions towards being fulfilled in the One who has no contenders.
