Hello Everyone,
I would like to introduce our third guest blogger of the month, Melody Schamel. She is a wonderful young lady who had a passion for sharing God's Word and her Saviour's Love. She enjoys spending time with her family and friends. She also likes outdoor activities with lots of action! I hope you enjoy reading what God had laid on her heart to share. Thanks for reading, and as always, if you feel you would be interested in becoming a guest blogger, please contact me. :) God bless you.
Now, we're going to talk about a journey,
how that God brought His people out of Egypt into the promised land, a perfect
type of leaving sin, coming into the Spirit land. Now, there's three stages of
this journey; First, Israel in Egypt, Israel in the journey, Israel in
Palestine, which is a perfect type of justification by faith, coming out;
sanctification as it passed through the Blood, the baptism of the Holy Ghost.
It's perfect, the stages of the Church. That is where the Church is staged now.

The Rock"

We all have read
about how God brought the children of Israel out of Egypt. How He opened the Red Sea, and guided them
through the desert. Then He gave them
the commandments, and rained manna out of the sky for them, yet still they were
ungrateful. I'm sure many of us think
"If I lived back then I wouldn't have backslid or murmured and
complained". But I think we do it more than we realize. Let us for a
moment, compare ourselves with them.
The Hebrew children were slaves in the land of Egypt for about 400
years. They were whipped by taskmasters, and pharaoh had complete control of their
lives. We were born in sin, shaped in
iniquity, and came to this world speaking lies. Satan had control of our lives.
And we were slaves to sin.
After the 400 years of slavery God sent a prophet to lead them out. God
showed signs and wonders, and one day God through Mosses, commanded them to
take a lamb without spot or blemish, kill it, then take its blood and paint it
on the side posts, and the upper door post. It would be the sign to the death angel. God has sent His word and a prophet to us; we
don't need to be slaves to sin any more. We have a Lamb that was without spot
or blemish, without one sin, perfect before God. He died and we are to apply His
blood to our lives, to paint it all over our lives. Not to keep it hidden, but
display it. And the angel of death will pass over us.
Finally pharaoh decided to let the Hebrews go. Moses led them out of Egypt to the Red Sea,
where God opened the sea and they crossed over. Likewise, God has led us out of sin.
"Here it is. Then what's the
next thing for the believer? The next thing is the baptism of the Holy Spirit
then. Moses led the children of Israel
right down to the Red Sea, was baptized in the Red Sea: the sea, water, representing Spirit."
54-0330 - "Redemption
In Completeness, In Joy"
Rev.
William Marrion Branham
After God destroyed their enemies, the Hebrews lost their joy and
complained to God. So God sent down
manna to feed them. They went out,
picked up what they needed for that day, and ate it. Many times I think we forget too quickly what
God has done for us. Where we were before He found us? What has He done for you
since He's brought you out? We must not forget all His blessings that He has
poured out on us! God rains down His word, His blessings, through listening to
the tapes, going to church, and reading our Bibles. But we must grab it and
apply it to our lives and our situations. Take it, eat it up! It is fresh every morning!
