Guilty or Not, Repent!!!

I am reading in the book of Leviticus and the Spirit is impressing upon me the importance of repentance. That even when done out of ignorance, we must not be callous in asking for forgiveness.

Repentance was never meant to be taken lightly. God commanded that it be done immediately. As soon as you are aware of the trespass. The sacrificing of unblemished animals was to show pure and sincere penitence.

This was required of the priests, leaders, the individual, and even the entire congregation. The significant reason for the priests to ask for forgiveness is that when they sin, that guilt is attributed to all of the people. Meditate on that. Particularly for those who excuse them. As if we are gods.

Notice that these are for those who sin out of ignorance. Because even when committed unknowingly, His Word pronounces our guilt.

(Pay attention!) And if a soul sin, and commit any of these things which are forbidden to be done by the commandments of the LORD; though he wist it not, yet is he guilty, and shall bear his iniquity” (Leviticus 5: 17, KJV).

This should be the deterrent but because we are a wicked and rebellious people, and although He forgives us, the LORD does not take these things lightly. That is why it is written, “It is a trespass (a guilt) offering: he hath certainly trespassed against the LORD” (Leviticus 5: 19, KJV).

When the LORD Goes Before You!!!

When the LORD Goes Before You!!! “Know [without any doubt], that the LORD your God is not giving you this good land to possess because of your righteousness, for you are a stiff-necked (stubborn, obstinate) people. Remember [with remorse] and do not forget how you provoked the LORD your God to wrath in the wilderness; from the day you left the land of Egypt until you arrived at this place, you have been rebellious against the LORD. And at Horeb (Sinai) you provoked the LORD to wrath, and the LORD was so angry with you that He would have destroyed you” (Deuteronomy 9: 4-8, AMP). Many of us focus on Moses' fasting for forty days and forty nights. But he had to go back up for a second time, for forty more days and nights, hewing two tablets of stone himself, as he fasted and prayed for the lives of the Israelites, including his brother Aaron. In God’s mercy they spent forty years in the wilderness, and He was not wrong if He would have condemned them to eighty years. Before we procee...

Sanctify Your Vessel in Holiness!!!

Sanctify Your Vessel in Holiness!!! People say that they love their family and friends and believe that it gives them the right to overlook evil. That they should hold themselves higher than God Himself by saying, “I absolve you of your sin”. Who would ignore the Holy Scriptures because they feel sorry for them and because they themselves are full of transgression. So that while they overlook wrongdoing in others, the same should be done unto them. I spoke to my daughter, that my children will say, I love my brothers and sisters, but you don’t love each other enough to warn them of impending judgment. A judgment that has two outcomes. Darkness and torment in a lake of fire prepared for the devil and his angels, where the worm dieth not. Where you have been given a new body that will withstand torment that only God can inflict, that will never be utterly destroyed. A horror that lasts forever. Or the reassurance given by God Himself. “But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor e...

You Will Not See, Hear, Nor Understand!!!

You Will Not See, Hear, Nor Understand!!! I listened to Celestial of “The Master’s Voice Prophecy Blog” outline the heinous and agonizing acts of ICE agents, including sexual harassment, abuse, and even murder against men and women. Yet many act surprised when there are individuals throughout history such as Margaret Sanger, who openly promoted eugenics. Using birth control and abortions to limit the reproduction of “unfit” populations. Even past events, such as those that happened in the Atlantic Slave Trade and Cape Colony, known as “Bushmen hunting”, included mass murder, expropriation of land, forced labor, and child abductions. What was done in the Congo by Leopold II. Who extracted his fortunes in deliberate torture and killings. The colonization of the Americas, as Europeans spread diseases which the natives had no prior exposure, thus succumbing to these incubating carriers. In some instances, infections spread to animals, causing occurrences as “the great famine” in Ethi...
