My dearly beloved in Christ, in the past few days we thought and meditated regarding our Father’s kingdom and how to partake the Holy Communion. We need to understand the importance of it. Our old man (Old Adam should die and New man – Christ) should rise up in our souls. He is the Nazarite Jesus Christ. Judges 13: 3 – 5 says And the Angel of the Lord appeared to the woman and said to her, “Indeed now, you are barren and have borne no children, but you shall conceive and bear a son.

Now therefore, please be careful not to drink wine or similar drink, and not to eat anything unclean.

For behold, you shall conceive and bear a son. And no razor shall come upon his head, for the child shall be a Nazirite to God from the womb; and he shall begin to deliver Israel out of the hand of the Philistines.”

Judges 13: 13,14 - So the Angel of the Lord said to Manoah, “Of all that I said to the woman let her be careful.

She may not eat anything that comes from the vine, nor may she drink wine or similar drink, nor eat anything unclean. All that I commanded her let her observe.”

We understand that this is showed as pattern for Our Nazarite, Jesus Christ to be born in our souls. Our Lord Jesus Christ is the one who delivers us from the hands of the Philistines and from the hands of all the enemies.

My dearly beloved, God is telling us in Amos 2: 11, 12 regarding how we are working against God. I raised up some of your sons as prophets, And some of your young men as Nazirites. Is it not so, O you children of Israel?” Says the Lord.

“But you gave the Nazirites wine to drink, And commanded the prophets saying, ‘Do not prophesy!’

What we understand from this is that how God gives us deliverance in our souls and how God raises us up. However we go against God like the people of the world by drinking grape juice always, ignoring the prophecies and eating what is defiled. So, God is angry with us. The punishment for this is written in Amos 2: 13 – 16.

The next thing that God says according to what is written in Genesis 9: 7 – 10 – He will make a covenant with all those in the world (in our world) and the future descendants.

That is what is said in Isaiah 66: 18 – 21 - “For I know their works and their thoughts. It shall be that I will gather all nations and tongues; and they shall come and see My glory.

I will set a sign among them; and those among them who escape I will send to the nations: to Tarshish and Pul and Lud, who draw the bow, and Tubal and Javan, to the coastlands afar off who have not heard My fame nor seen My glory. And they shall declare My glory among the Gentiles.

Then they shall bring all your brethren for an offering to the Lord out of all nations, on horses and in chariots and in litters, on mules and on camels, to My holy mountain Jerusalem,” says the Lord, “as the children of Israel bring an offering in a clean vessel into the house of the Lord.

And I will also take some of them for priests and Levites,” says the Lord.

This is the sign of what God tells Noah to take all the animals into the ark. Our God does not cast away anyone who comes to him.

John 6:37 - All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out.

John 6:38 - For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me.

In order to show that He does not cast away anyone – in Acts chapter 10 he appears to Cornelius and Peter who was in Joppa.

Acts 10: 5, 6 - Now send men to Joppa, and send for Simon whose surname is Peter.

He is lodging with Simon, a tanner, whose house is by the sea. He will tell you what you must do.”

We read that - when the angel who spoke to him had departed, Cornelius called two of his household servants and a devout soldier from among those who waited on him continually. So, when he had explained all these things to them, he sent them to Joppa to Peter.

Acts 10: 9 – 16 - The next day, as they went on their journey and drew near the city, Peter went up on the housetop to pray, about the sixth hour.

Then he became very hungry and wanted to eat; but while they made ready, he fell into a trance

and saw heaven opened and an object like a great sheet bound at the four corners, descending to him and let down to the earth. 

In it were all kinds of four-footed animals of the earth, wild beasts, creeping things, and birds of the air.

And a voice came to him, “Rise, Peter; kill and eat.”

But Peter said, “Not so, Lord! For I have never eaten anything common or unclean.”

And a voice spoke to him again the second time, “What God has cleansed you must not call common.”

This was done three times. And the object was taken up into heaven again.

We will see the meaning of these tomorrow if God wills.

Let us pray. May the Lord bless you all abundantly.
