For Mother of Micah
For Mother of Micah
Mary Elisabeth Correa. She was born, she lived, and now rest.
Many people go through this land seeking the wealth of this life.
Seeking the money, houses, and cars, fame and the glory to them.
6 Thou shalt not seek their peace nor their prosperity all thy days for ever.
This is the valley of death. All flesh here shall die the death according to the flesh. Is why we are here. However,
1 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
If you have made the LORD your shepherd, and not some other. It’s him who you will follow not seeking the peace and prosperity of this world, this world of death
3 He restoreth my soul:
He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil: for thou art with me;
Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
3: It’s only God that will restore your soul back to the position it once was.
Following the path of God, that leads to righteousness, for His name sake. So these responses will be answered by your actions towards God.
4: As we walk through the valley of the shadow of death. Many of us do not know this world is the valley of death. There is no death in eternity only on earth, the valley of death.
Will you fear evil, if so, then God is not with you. he is thy rod and staff, that comfort you. Meaning this, if you are following God, you are sacrificing your life to Him.
Dedicating things you do, to God, and for God. So Mary is here and given you a gift.
A gift of the truth, proving that the word of God is true. Saying this
1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
2 A time to be born, and a time to die;
A time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
1: while we are walking through this valley of death, it’s a season for every purpose here.
2: A time of birth, and a time to die. The same as a time to plant and a time to harvest which was planted.
God wanted to plant something in us, and we had to prepare something for Him on his coming.
Something had to die for the other to live
5 Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me:
The Bible says, when he come into the world, Or when Christ come into the world, He said this: Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not. Sacrifice, something has to die, so it is only dedicated to one thing: to live for the purpose it sacrifice for.
So the questions start not with Mary, but with each one of us: The answers is in our actions
7 Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God.
So is this your response to the request of Christ? The book is written of you to do the will of God. Are you living according to God?
We all have to remember one thing; nothing changes in the Bible, it’s the same yesterday, today and for ever, meaning this
34 My covenant will I not break,
Nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.
God will not break, nor alter anything in this book to assist or to help someone lie.
6 For I am the Lord, I change not;
Therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.
As he doubled down, by saying, He changes not. And again,
8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.
For the quote I made, He’s the same yesterday, and today, and for ever.
7 Brethren, I write no new commandment unto you, but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye have heard from the beginning.
Everything which is written is from the beginning, not in the end. It’s the same. So the question is this.
Did we dedicate our life to Christ for God? Dedicate = To appoint that item, that body only to God. Being that peculiar treasure by doing so?
However, as I said, Mary brought a gift, a message to you, from God.
Letting you know, something God has a problem with and we need to correct.
8 Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me.
But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee?
In tithes and offerings.
Have we robbed God? sacrificing or dedicating things to God, when he was clear of what He wanted prepared for him. So again, have we robbed God? In old times they offered animals many will agree, but God said you have robbed Him
10 For every beast of the forest is mine,
And the cattle upon a thousand hills.
11 I know all the fowls of the mountains:
And the wild beasts of the field are mine.
10: The beast and the cattle is God’s.
11: Including the fowls of the mountains. So you have many preachers say today, to Give money. However, God says this
8 The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the Lord of hosts.
Wow. The money belongs to God. So the preachers got it wrong, or the ones feeding themselves. TMH God said this
15 and I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding.
If God Gives then He is the one paying them, not you. And they will feed you knowledge and understanding of God. not telling you to give things to God, that belongs to God. Even in old times, TMH God told them this:
9 I will take no bullock out of thy house,
Nor he goats out of thy folds.
How will they offer something that already belongs to God? The beast is God’s and the money is God’s, so what are we to offer God?
5 Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me:
God said, when He come into the world, to do something, dedicate something, you don’t want to. However, we been offering trash:
13 Ye said also, Behold, what a weariness is it!
And ye have snuffed at it, saith the Lord of hosts;
And ye brought that which was torn, and the lame, and the sick;
Thus ye brought an offering:
Should I accept this of your hand? saith the Lord.
You have offered the torn, and the lame, and the sick, hoping God will accept it. He said offer something you really don’t want to; your body
1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
A body, the same example you will see in the old as a contrast for understanding
3 If his offering be a burnt sacrifice of the herd, let him offer a male without blemish: he shall offer it of his own voluntary will at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the Lord.
For animals, offer it, but at your own voluntary will. Will......... and your will should be His will, so you will see this exchange in the new:
9 then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second.
You will come and offer the right one, the right thing and not something that belong to God. As the Bible says, God loves a cheerful giver, something you would, not wouldn’t
7 Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.
Don’t offer grudgingly or most people do not know you cannot give if it of necessity............ The same as if you are on your death bed, and then give you life over to God. Even for us today, like to assist the building calling a church to pay bills, then you cannot give, in fact that will put a burden on you; taking care of a man or a building
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
10 For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.
we are her to see the works of God, once you finish the work set before you. We are witnessing the first stage of the beginning:
Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
Flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, neither do corruption. We even She was in a corruptible body, knowing clearly knowing this body cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
but we need to remember one thing, the Spirit from God, if it's in you, you in him, then God will be with you, and your spirit will return to God
Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.
All flesh is going to return to the ground from which it came. And the spirit will return to God, if you are with Him. Not all but many:
21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
But if you have sacrifice you body unto God as a living sacrifice, then:
At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you.
that day, you will know by the works you do, that Christ is in the Father, and you in Christ, and Christ in you.
presenting your body for the work of His ministry. Giving your body as a living sacrifice unto God
For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins. Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me:
4: You know this and made to switch
5: it’s you. meaning this; if you are here today, and by the mercies of God, we need to present our bodies holy and acceptable unto God. Here’s why
26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,
Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me.
But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee?
In tithes and offerings.
many of us have robbed God, how? In tithes and offerings
God said do not take nothing out of His house, no bullock or goats. All these are God’s.
But TMH God of Israel have chosen one. One sheep, one flower, one tree, one people:
O Lord that bearest rule, of every wood of the earth, and of all the trees thereof, thou hast chosen thee one only vine: and of all lands of the whole world thou hast chosen thee one pit: and of all the flowers thereof one lily: and of all the depths of the sea thou hast filled thee one river: and of all builded cities thou hast hallowed Sion unto thyself: and of all the fowls that are created thou hast named thee one dove: and of all the cattle that are made thou hast provided thee one sheep: and among all the multitudes of peoples thou hast gotten thee one people: and unto this people, whom thou lovedst, thou gavest a law that is approved of all.
19 He sheweth his word unto Jacob,
His statutes and his judgments unto Israel.
20 He hath not dealt so with any nation:
And as for his judgments, they have not known them.
Praise ye the Lord.
This law was given to his people:
5 I am black, but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem,
As the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon.
So what are we going to do about this? Is it you? Are we fulfilling the vow to God? Are we going to continue to do what we are accustomed to?
23 Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? then may ye also do good, that are accustomed to do evil.
This is the race to the kingdom of God.
24 Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.
