In preparation for Passover 2017, Derek shares his thoughts and heart in response to an email from a dear brother. Listen as Derek discusses insights into Messiah Yahushua being our Menorah in whom we have been created to be vessels of honor to contain the anointed power of the oil of His Father\u2019s Spirit. We are mediators of the gospel-priests wearing the full armor of Elohim to go forth as mediators, serving Elohim on behalf of His people\u2013 bringing them back to Him. Elohim. The \u201cLaw\u201d was given to His people \u2013 not for the world. But we are commanded to go into all the world to find those would become His people \u2013 thus for the law to govern them. We are on a rescue mission. It is not a Mission Impossible, for all things are possible with Him.
The Spirit is given so that we are no longer deceived by the darkness of falsehood, so that we will forever perceive the light of His truth. The flames of fire that burn in our Saviors eyes, have been given to us who have received His Father\u2019s Spirit. Why? So that our eyes are opened to who the real liar is\u2014the one who said, \u2018hath Elohim said?\u2019 Deception comes when our light goes out.
As the time of Unleavened Bread draws near, we must examine ourselves, as well as the borders of our family \u2013 the body of Messiah, to ensure that no leaven of unforgiveness exists. Deception comes where there is division. And where there is division, there is the leaven of unforgiveness.
The armor we wear of the priestly garments, must be without blemish. The armor we put on everyday IS the protection while in battle for the souls of this world. The battle to ensure the Gospel reaches every inch of this planet is not fought in flesh and blood, but in the spirit realm. And if we are to carry forth the great commission, we must be armed with what will bring victory for our King\u2014the souls of men.
Are we in this war to achieve a comfortable life or are we in it as a rescue mission to snatch others from the fires of hell? We are given these garments to help us do our job in rescuing those in darkness\u2013not so that we might live a life of ease. The priest serves the people and presents them sanctified and set apart unto Elohim. This is why we wear the whole armor of Elohim.
