    The Vineyard from Refreshing Hope Ministries on Vimeo. I have always admired Amos, who was a shepherd in a field when the Lord told him to go and prophesy to King Jeroboam in Bethel. The priest Amaziah told him to prophesy somewhere else. They weren't interested in what the Lord had to say, but A...

    for a righteous man falls seven times and rises up again, but the wicked are overthrown by calamity. Proverbs 24:16 WEB.Once again, I was the one who promised he would never do it again, then went and did it again. I had slowly drifted away one more time.

    Then Satan answered Yahweh, and said, "Does Job fear God for nothing? Haven't you made a hedge around him, and around his house, and around all that he has, on every side? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land. But put forth your hand now, and touch all t...

The Third Day

  • Behold, there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord descended from the sky, and came and rolled away the stone from the door, and sat on it. His appearance was like lightning, and his clothing white as snow. For fear of him, the guards shook, and became like dead men. The angel answered the women, 'Don't be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus, who has been crucified. He is not here, for he has risen, just like he said. Come, see the place where the Lord was lying. Matthew 28:2 WEB

    Ever since Adam and Eve disobeyed in the garden, mankind had been bound in sin with no way out of it. They had decided that maybe they knew what was best for them, and that God was holding something back. It was something they thought they really needed and wanted, the forbidden fruit. Too bad it was poisonous, and they both died from it later.

    Their sinful rebellious nature was passed down through the generations and was only broken when Mary conceived by the Holy Spirit. Jesus went on to live a perfect, sinless life as a man. Just as one imperfect man started it, one Perfect Man finished it. It all changed on the third day when Jesus walked out of the tomb. The power of sin was broken and if satan would have known what was coming, they would have never crucified Jesus (1 Corinthians 2:8).

    Jesus met all of God's requirements, lived a perfect life without sin, and then laid His life down for us at the cross. Through His sacrifice, mankind was restored to a right relationship with God. The veil in the temple was torn open making a way for us to come into the Holy of Holies, and all are welcome.

    Stop looking down on yourself and look to Jesus. He knows your name. Do not set your value by what anyone on Earth thinks of you. Jesus gave His life to set you free. The price of that is immeasurable and He would have done it just for you. Everything changed on the third day.

    Prayer: Heavenly Father I thank You sending Your Son Jesus to buy us back. Teach me the things that I need to know and let me see the world through Your eyes. Please walk with me and talk with me this day, in the name of Jesus Christ I pray.

It’s such an amazing trilogy. The triune God sending part of the Godhead to earth for the assignment of redemption... The New Adam Who tore the veil- it’s something that is wondrous and to gaze on Him for eternity will be a delight!

Amen. The Lord would have died for just one. That statement alone brings my heart and soul to Praise and love Our Lord and King. He knows my name and my heart and every hair on my head. Who would die for you and love you beyond your understanding of love here on earth. Thank you my Father! I long to seek they face as I bury mine at the foot of your throne. In Jesus Holy Name I pray Amen.
