JESUS IS JEALOUS. 

04/24 Daily Exhortation (Matt.6:11; Luke 11:3; Heb.3:13; 10:25)…

A 4:24 FOR 4/24…

Deuteronomy 4:24 (KJB) For the LORD thy God is a consuming fire, even a jealous God.

God is multi-faceted to say the least. HE IS INFINITE. There are attributes that were dormant until sin came. God in His infinite wisdom had eternal purposes in place to permit freewill agents that *could* choose sin against Him. By doing this, there are many aspects of His attributes that were latent but now revealed… God reserves the right to get the UTMOST GLORY. Selah. 

For example, had there never been sin, God’s forgiveness, mercy, healing, chastening, wrath, vengeance, jealousy, longsuffering, etc. would never have been revealed. God DID NOT CREATE SIN, but when cherubim,angels, and man were given freewills, God can and will STILL GET GLORY when their wills are contrariwise to God's PRIMARY WILL.

Focus passage: God is A CONSUMING FIRE, EVEN A JEALOUS GOD. 

Galatians 5:16-17 16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.

17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.

James 4:5 Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy?

God did the most amazing thing last year this anniversary date. When Hannah was about to read her Bride of Christ exhortation, we were crossing some train tracks and a vehicle passed with ROMANS 7 4 on their license plate!!!! DAILY JESUS WALK!!!!!! <3 

Bride of Christ, TO WHOM are you married? 

Romans 7:4 Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God.

Our focus passage is in part quoted in Hebrews 12:28-29…

28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:

29 For our God is a consuming fire.

Godly means “like God.” Do we have GODLY JEALOUSY to “zealously affect” the brethren? 

2 Corinthians 11:2 For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.

Today, appreciate the many attributes of God and NEVER provoke the Holy Ghost to jealousy (see Hebrews 3 and Ephesians 4, etc.). Jesus, get glory in the church today, and world without end. -r <3
