This week during bible study, we talked about ridding ourselves of the hypocrisy we find ourselves caught up in.

What circumstances tend to reveal your lack of patience? What actions or attitudes in response to difficult circumstances communicate your lack of trust in God? What lies about God do you need to confess? What Scriptures will you memorize about God’s character to help you persevere in difficulties?- Indicative statements: - This is what God has done for His people - i.e. saving us from our sins through Jesus- Imperative statements: - Our response to things (how we should act in accordance to what God has done.)Indicative statements should make it easier for us to obey the imperative, not have us become robots just obeying commands. This structures the heart posture of the saint.

This week during bible study, we have another powerful message from Prophetess Mary.

This week during bible study, we discussed the importance of hanging on to what the Lord has to say about us. We can sometimes allow the issues of life to throw us off. Whether it is in our sense of self, our purpose, feeling like we do not deserve our current status/position; Jesus is the constant reminder that we are more than enough inside of who He is. Trust in the Lord and have peace in knowing that your true identity is wrapped in the everlasting God.

This week during bible study, we're reminded to keep the faith. Every situation and issue of life is going to boil down to our faith response. Can we trust God? If the answer is no for any reason we need to turn to Him for guidance as to why we are so guarded in that area. Remember, only the Lord can deliver you from any issue that you are facing in this life. Trust in Him and watch your life evolve for the better.

There was a gathering in the school's open-air tent. It was a time of worship and praise. We were just outside the tent listening.
"What do you think of," asked the teacher, "when you hear the word worship?"
"Singing, hymns, prayers, words of praise..."
"That's the outward form of worship," he said. "That's how worship manifests. But what's the heart of worship?"
"I don't know."
"I'll give you one definition, a secret. It's found in the New Covenant Scriptures. It only appears in the Greek. It's the word proskuneo. And do you know what it means?"
I had no answer.
"It means to kiss. True worship," said the teacher, "is to kiss. And what does this reveal? What is a kiss? A kiss is the most intimate of acts. Therefore, worship is to be the most intimate thing you can experience."
"To worship God is to kiss God?"
"In the spiritual realm, yes, to kiss from your heart, from your innermost being. And when you kiss, you don't do it because you have to. You do it freely from your heart because you want to."
"So true worship is never done by compulsion, but freely from the overflow of your heart."
"And why does one kiss?" asked the teacher.
"Because of joy."
"Yes," he said, "a kiss is an expression of joy. And kissing brings you joy. So true worship is an expression of joy. You worship out of joy. Your joy becomes worship and your worship becomes joy."
"Teacher," I said, "we didn't say the most obvious."
"Which is...?"
"One kisses because of love," I said. "A kiss is an expression of love."
"It is. So then what is true worship?"
"Worship is an expression of love."
"Yes," said the teacher, "It's as simple as that: It's the most intimate act of love and joy. Worship is as simple as kissing God." The Mission: Today, draw near to God in worship, in love, in joy, in the deepest of intimacy. Learn the secret of kissing God.

It was dawn. We were watching the sun rise over the desert landscape.
"Kedem," said the teacher. "It's Hebrew for east, a most critical direction."
"Why?" I asked.
"The Temple of Jerusalem was built according to the kedem. It had to face the east. The altar of the sacrifice was at its easternmost end. The holy of holies was at its westernmost end. Everything else was in between. So everything in the Temple existed on an east-west continuum. Everything that took place in the Temple took place on an east-west continuum. Most importantly, on the holiest day of the year, Yom Kippur, the sins of Israel were atoned for, removed from the people, on an east-west continuum. The high priest would offer up the sacrifice in the east, and then sprinkle the blood on the ark of the covenant in the west. He would journey back and forth on an east-west continuum. And the closing act of the day would see the sins of the people symbolically removed from the west to the east."
"But why is that more significant than if it was a north-south continuum?"
"Because," said the teacher, "the earth is a sphere ... and it turns on its axis on an east-west continuum. Therefore, the earth has a north pole and a south pole, but no east or west pole."
"I still don't understand."
"How far is the north from the south?" he asked. "Since there are two poles, the distance is limited. All north comes to an end at the North Pole. And all south ends at the South Pole. If the Temple had been built on a north-south continuum, then sin would have been removed a few thousand miles from the sinner. But how far is the east from the west? East and west have no poles. Therefore, they never end. East and west are infinite. They go on forever. In fact, the Hebrew word for the east, kedem, also means everlasting."
"But back then no one knew the earth was a sphere."
"God did. And all this is a shadow of the atonement of Messiah, our salvation. So in Messiah, how far does God remove your sins from you? An infinity away ... an eternity away. And if you had all eternity, you could never find them again. As it is written, 'So far has He removed our sins away from us ... as far as the east is from the west.'" The Mission: Today, take time to ponder and take in the love of God that removed your sins as far as the east is from the west - and live accordingly.

"Define love," said the teacher.
"Love is to want the best for another," I replied.
"Yes," he said. "And to put it another way, love is to put yourself in the place of another, to feel their feelings, walk in their shoes, weep with their tears, rejoice in their joys, take upon yourself their burdens, and give to them your life."
"I like that."
"The Scriptures declare that God is love," he said. "If God is love, He must be the greatest love, the ultimate love. Do you believe God loves us?"
"I do."
"Then what must love do?"
"Love must put itself in the place of another."
"So what would be the greatest possible manifestation of love?"
"That God ... would put Himself in the place of another?"
"And how would that actually manifest? What would be the greatest manifestation of love?"
"God would have to put Himself in our place ... He would have to walk in our shoes."
"Yes, and feel our feelings."
"And cry our tears."
"And take upon Himself our burdens," he said, "and our judgment ... and our death, to save us, to give us life. He would give His life."
"Then if God is love," I said, "that's what He would do."
"Then," said the teacher, "the greatest possible manifestation of love has already manifested ... on our planet. God putting Himself in our place. And so there is no greater love you could ever know," he said. "When you feel it and when you don't, it's there nonetheless. We cannot change it - we can only receive it and be changed by it. We can only let it change us. For the greatest possible love has already been manifested. God has come down. It is only for us to receive it and to do likewise." The Mission: Today, practice the divine and cosmic love. Put yourself in the place of another - your feet in their shoes, your heart in their heart.

"Do you see it?" asked the teacher.
"Behind the rock," I replied.
It was a snake, brown and black, and slithering in the desert sand.
"What do you know about snakes?" he asked.
"I know to avoid them."
"Nothing more?"
"Not much."
"What you should know is that snakes are cold-blooded."
"Why is that important?"
"You're warm-blooded. And because you're warm-blooded, you can run and keep running. But a snake, being cold-blooded, is limited in its ability to endure, to keep going. Therefore, you can outlast it."
"That's good to know," I replied.
"In the Scriptures, the serpent is a symbol of evil."
"Why is that?"
"Not because snakes are evil in themselves but because they provide a representation of evil. They often move by twisting. And so the nature of evil is to twist. A lie is the twisting of the truth. The impure is the twisting of the pure. And evil, itself, is the twisting of the good."
"So then if snakes are cold-blooded, then, so, in some way, is evil?"
"Yes," said the teacher. "Evil is cold-blooded. What that means is this: Though evil may have its day, its victories, its time to move and strike - it remains cold-blooded. Therefore, it can never endure. No matter how powerful the evil may appear, no matter how triumphant and unstoppable it may seem, it cannot last. Deception is cold-blooded. Hatred is cold-blooded. Slander is cold-blooded. Oppression is cold-blooded. All evil is cold-blooded. And so the power of evil is only for the short-term and the momentary. Its days are always numbered. And in the long run, it always fails."
"But the good is not cold-blooded," I said.
"Yes," he said. "So, in the end, the good will always outlast the evil. Therefore, persevere in the good, keep going in what is true, keep standing for what is right, and you will overcome and prevail in the end." The Mission: In the face of whatever evil, trouble, attack, or sin you're dealing with, don't give in. Don't give up. But press on in the good.

He took me out in the desert to an immense valley surrounded by reddish mountains, which turned increasingly purple and blue as they extended out into the far distance.
"What words come to your mind," said the teacher, "when you look at the desert wilderness?"
"Dry ...barren ...hot ...austere ...severe ...hard ...forbidding ..."
"And when people go through hard times - times of loss, crisis, tragedy, loneliness, conflict, hardship, problems, separation, tears - they speak of going through the wilderness. And yet the wilderness is a holy place. It was in a desert wilderness that God gave His Law, His Word, and where He revealed His presence. The wilderness is holy."
"So the hard times in our lives are holy?"
"For those who are His children, yes."
"How so?"
"In Hebrew, the wilderness is called the midbar. Midbar comes from the root ward dabar. And dabar means to speak. What is the wilderness? It is the midbar. And what is the midbar? It is the place of God's speaking, the place of His voice. It's where God especially talks to us. Why did He bring His people into the wilderness, into the midbar? So He could speak to them. He brought Moses into the midbar to speak to him in a still, small voice. So too He brings us into the wilderness that He might speak to us."
"What is it about the wilderness that makes it the place of God's speaking?"
"Look around you," he said. "What do you see?"
"Rock, sand, mountains - not much."
"That's why," said the teacher. "God speaks, but we don't hear. We have too many distractions. But in the wilderness the distractions are gone. So God brings us to the wilderness that we might hear His voice. Therefore, do not fear or despise the wilderness of your life, and don't despise His removing of the distractions. Rather embrace it. Draw closer to Him. And listen to what He is saying. Seek to hear His voice, and you will hear Him. For the wilderness in your life is not just a wilderness. It is holy ground ...the midbar ...the place of His voice." The Mission: Put away the distractions, those things that keep you from hearing. And go into the wilderness, the midbar, and seek the voice of God.
