Hello to all my beautiful TurtleDove Friends and Family, to all my new Substack Subscribers and Readers! I love you. I appreciate you. My husband, Ordained Apostolic Fivefold Minister Reverend/Pastor David Orts, and I pray for you and your entire households, your entire family lineage, daily and nightly!
Dear Precious Saints, Brothers and Sisters in Christ Jesus! A shout out to all my online community and group of XAPiT friends and Forever Family including my Fellow Warrior Lions and Lionesses in Hear The Lions Roar Remnant Christian Army and The Lion's Den!
The Lion of The Tribe of Judah is Our King, Jesus! And He is about to Roar!!!
My husband @DavidOrts and I wanted to encourage all of you, each one of you is important to us and to King Jesus!
We pray Jesus' Shalom Peace be with you and upon your entire household today! May nothing Good be withheld from you. May nothing, you receive or own, be broken or remain broken, but be cured, fixed, redeemed and made Holy and Perfect and True. May everything that you are and that you have be aligned to God's Perfect Order. May Creator God's Holy Shalom Peace rest upon you today and always in all ways!
Today is The Lord's Day! The Seventh Day belongs to Our Creator. We are to remember The Sabbath and keep today day Holy.
Holy = Separated from this world. Set apart. Dedicated for The Lord's Use.
Ah but we have all fallen short...
Speaking to Jesus now.
Do we remember to spend time alone with you? Do we dedicate any of our days fully to you?
Pray with my husband and I right now dear reader?
Father God You are Holy! Jesus You are Holy! Holy Spirit You are Holy!
We yield ourselves, our wills and today to You Creator God of all in Jesus' Mighty Name above all names. We REST in You today! We enter into our rest in You today. We remember You Rested today after You Created all things by speaking Your Word. You spoke everything into existence including everything we see and do not see in this world, the waters above and below, the earth itself, night the day, the sun the moon, the stars, all creatures, beasts of the field, the fish and marine life, all the fowl and even the creeping things. You created all mankind! It took you six days! And then You rested.
Help us, every single one of us, to rest today, in You with You, dear Lord?
Lord Jesus please forgive each one of us who tries and yet fails. We have good intentions but we are but dust. Our human tent of flesh constantly wars against our eternal spirit man within who desires to remain connected to You, to please You, obey You, to walk and to talk with You, like Adam walked and talked with You in The Garden.
Please restore our personal individualized daily connection with You by The Power of Your Holy Spirit.
Please be with each one of us today on This Sabbath, today, known as a Saturday, The Seventh Day. Help us to remember that You Rested Today.
Help us to Rest in You today casting all our cares upon You. We take up Your Yoke which is light. You Precious Savior, King of all Kings, Lord of all Lords have borne our burdens already!
You were bruised and whipped and pierced and killed for our sicknesses, diseases, sins, iniquities, transgressions, failures, ommissions even our rebellion. Everything we deserve to receive from our grave sins, whether purposed or not, You took upon Yourself all our sins and all our punishment! You Overcame what we could not! You broke sin and death! You Rose from the dead!
YOU ARE ALIVE!!!
Great are YOU Lord!
Thank You for EVERYTHING! Thank You for writing our names into Your Eternal Holy Book of Life!!! You are Merciful to us. Gracious. Patient. When we fall, when we fail, when we repent, You forgive us. You wash us clean. You restore us. You redeem us. You love us!
We love You Jesus.
Isaiah 58 (Amplified Bible Classic Edition)
1 Cry aloud, spare not. Lift up your voice like a trumpet and declare to My people their transgression and to the house of Jacob their sins!
2 Yet they seek, inquire for, and require Me daily and delight [externally] to know My ways, as [if they were in reality] a nation that did righteousness and forsook not the ordinance of their God. They ask of Me righteous judgments, they delight to draw near to God [in visible ways].
3 Why have we fasted, they say, and You do not see it? Why have we afflicted ourselves, and You take no knowledge [of it]? Behold [O Israel], on the day of your fast [when you should be grieving for your sins], you find profit in your business, and [instead of stopping all work, as the law implies you and your workmen should do] you extort from your hired servants a full amount of labor.
4 [The facts are that] you fast only for strife and debate and to smite with the fist of wickedness. Fasting as you do today will not cause your voice to be heard on high.
5 Is such a fast as yours what I have chosen, a day for a man to humble himself with sorrow in his soul? [Is true fasting merely mechanical?] Is it only to bow down his head like a bulrush and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him [to indicate a condition of heart that he does not have]? Will you call this a fast and an acceptable day to the Lord?
6 [Rather] is not this the fast that I have chosen: to loose the bonds of wickedness, to undo the bands of the yoke, to let the oppressed go free, and that you break every [enslaving] yoke?
7 Is it not to divide your bread with the hungry and bring the homeless poor into your house—when you see the naked, that you cover him, and that you hide not yourself from [the needs of] your own flesh and blood?
8 Then shall your light break forth like the morning, and your healing (your restoration and the power of a new life) shall spring forth speedily; your righteousness (your rightness, your justice, and your right relationship with God) shall go before you [conducting you to peace and prosperity], and the glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard.
9 Then you shall call, and the Lord will answer; you shall cry, and He will say, Here I am. If you take away from your midst yokes of oppression [wherever you find them], the finger pointed in scorn [toward the oppressed or the godly], and every form of false, harsh, unjust, and wicked speaking,
10 And if you pour out that with which you sustain your own life for the hungry and satisfy the need of the afflicted, then shall your light rise in darkness, and your obscurity and gloom become like the noonday.
11 And the Lord shall guide you continually and satisfy you in drought and in dry places and make strong your bones. And you shall be like a watered garden and like a spring of water whose waters fail not.
12 And your ancient ruins shall be rebuilt; you shall raise up the foundations of [buildings that have laid waste for] many generations; and you shall be called Repairer of the Breach, Restorer of Streets to Dwell In.
13 If you turn away your foot from [traveling unduly on] the Sabbath, from doing your own pleasure on My holy day, and call the Sabbath a [spiritual] delight, the holy day of the Lord honorable, and honor Him and it, not going your own way or seeking or finding your own pleasure or speaking with your own [idle] words,
14 Then will you delight yourself in the Lord, and I will make you to ride on the high places of the earth, and I will feed you with the heritage [promised for you] of Jacob your father; for the mouth of the Lord has spoken it.
