For
[we are not] ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of
God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and
also to the Greek. For therein is the righteousness of God revealed
from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
{ Rom 1:16-17 KJV}

"BESHALACH" (WHEN HE LET GO)
Exodus 13;17-17:16, Judges 4:4-5:31, 2Peter 1
(Exo 13:17 TLV) After Pharaoh had let the people go, God did not lead them along the road to the land of the Philistines, although that was nearby, for God said, “The people might change their minds if they see war and return to Egypt.”

MESSAGE
Linda and I often pray pleadings of thanksgiving to our Lord. We are so very blessed. We, as a nation, are seen as extremely wealthy and fortunate to have the freedoms we enjoy today. We have substantial roofs over our heads. Clothing to wear. Food to eat. Medicines to take! Our senior bodies make cute little noises when we move about! We owe a huge debt to our Creator for blessing every beat of our hearts well before our birth. Every breath, every thought, every dream. All made possible through The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit.
We sometimes forget how much we changed when we first met JESUS; opening our heart, mind and soul to Him. Confessing out loud that HE is who HE is and then believing truly that HE IS all that HE IS! Believing in Him deeply with every fiber of our being.
Our confession was a precious moment when we allowed the little child in us to come out. To believe as a child believes. During that process we learned FAITH. Each of us being witness to the miracle of our own SALVATION through GRACE alone, through FAITH alone, in CHRIST alone, according to Holy Scripture, all for the Glory of God alone, and filled with the HOLY SPIRIT. We experienced this awesome event first hand, in person. We all were there!
Once upon a time, there was a former self, the OLD YOU. The record shows that you were known as a good person. Honest, helpful, fair minded, loyal. Others liked you. Despite all the things you were involved in, the giving of your time, the tender moments when your actions made a big difference to another, even a stranger. Something was missing. A part of you was unfulfilled, empty, still sinning! Try as you might, nothing measured up that would fill that void. Then you met JESUS. The first of your personal HALLELUJAH moments overwhelmed you. More would follow.
SALVATION is a very big deal! You have been made a citizen of the Kingdom of Almighty GOD! This citizenship is ETERNAL.
(Php 3:20-21 NKJV) For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, (21) who will transform our lowly body that it may be conformed to His glorious body, according to the working by which He is able even to subdue all things to Himself.
When Jesus drew His last earthly breath on that Old Cross, He took with Himself, all of our prior sins, releasing us from the original sentence of eternal death handed down from Adam's great sin. He took our place with the executioner.
(1Jn 3:2 NASB) Beloved, now we are children of God, and it has not appeared as yet what we will be. We know that when He appears, we will be like Him, because we will see Him just as He is.
The prophet Ezekiel was introduced to the Kingdom of God and appeared, in the spirit, in God's very presence.
(Eze 1:25-28 NKJV) A voice came from above the firmament that was over their heads; whenever they [the seraphim] stood, they let down their wings. (26) And above the firmament over their heads was the likeness of a throne, in appearance like a sapphire stone; on the likeness of the throne was a likeness with the appearance of a man high above it. (27) Also from the appearance of His waist and upward I saw, as it were, the color of amber with the appearance of fire all around within it; and from the appearance of His waist and downward I saw, as it were, the appearance of fire with brightness all around. (28) Like the appearance of a rainbow in a cloud on a rainy day, so was the appearance of the brightness all around it. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. So when I saw it, [said Ezekiel] I fell on my face, and I heard a voice of One speaking.
(Eze 2:1-4 NKJV) And He said to me, "Son of man, stand on your feet, and I will speak to you." (2) Then the Spirit entered me when He spoke to me, and set me on my feet; and I heard Him who spoke to me. (3) And He said to me: "Son of man, I am sending you to the children of Israel, to a rebellious nation that has rebelled against Me; they and their fathers have transgressed against Me to this very day. (4) For they are impudent and stubborn children. I am sending you to them, and you shall say to them, 'Thus says the Lord GOD.' Ezekiel went and spoke as ordered. Did they listen?
We don't know what style of body we will have, (2Co 3:18 NASB) But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit.
Remember in (Gen 1:26-27 KJV) And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: (27) So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
SUMMARY
As a CITIZEN in the Kingdom of God TIME will no longer be of value, nor as a chain tying us to schedules and appointments. No more TIMEX or SMART WATCHES!
(Rev 7:16-17 NASB) "[We] will hunger no longer, nor thirst anymore; nor will the sun beat down on [us], nor any heat; (17) for the Lamb in the center of the throne will be [our] shepherd, and will guide [us] to springs of the water of life; and God will wipe every tear from [our] eyes."
This is Celestial Citizenship for those who answered the knock on the door of our hearts and invited JESUS to come in. To be our SAVIOR, our LORD, Almighty God!
We are saved by GRACE alone, {Sola Gratia}, Through FAITH alone, {Sola Fide}, In CHRIST alone, {Solus Christus}, According to HOLY SCRIPTURE alone, {Sola Scriptura}, All for the glory of GOD alone, {Soli DEO Gloria}.
CLOSING PRAYER
Almighty Father, Precious Son Jesus, Holy Spirit, we bow before You with great reverence and humility. Your Grace through the Gift of salvation cannot be weighed, nor measured as it is divine and of Your will and to us, unearned. We bow before You with thanksgiving and eternal Love for the gift of Celestial Citizenship, in the name of Jesus the Christ, amen and AMEN.
[THE LORD'S SUPPER]
[Sing a song to the Lord, lift up your voices]

THE CALL
If you have never invited Jesus to be your Lord and savior, or, if you have in the past yet remain unsure of salvation and forgiveness of sin, Please pray with me now: Lord Jesus I need to fill a hole in my life that follows me where ever I go. I am a long-time Sinner and I CONFESS and REPENT of all my sins. I believe that You JESUS are the Lord, that you were hung on a cross and died. I believe that you were raised back to life by God, Your Father, ascended into heaven and presently sit at the right hand of The Almighty. Please come into me, clean me, take me and make me Yours and let me serve from this day forward and forever, Thank-You Jesus, AMEN
If you sincerely prayed with me, your salvation has been assured. {Rom 10:9 KJV} -That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
