The Gospel is about how Good God is, not how bad we are!!!

Michael J. Weiss, Sr.

The Lord Has No Equal

Haven’t you heard? Don’t you understand?
Are you deaf to the words of God—
the words he gave before the world began?
Are you so ignorant?
God sits above the circle of the earth.
The people below seem like grasshoppers to him!
He spreads out the heavens like a curtain
and makes his tent from them.
He judges the great people of the world
and brings them all to nothing.
They hardly get started, barely taking root,
when he blows on them and they wither.
The wind carries them off like chaff.

Isaiah 40:21-24 (NLT)

God Loves Us, Jesus, Messiah

The Gospel is about how Good God is, not how bad we are!!!

Michael J. Weiss, Sr.

The Lord Has No Equal

No, for all the nations of the world
are but a drop in the bucket.
They are nothing more
than dust on the scales.
He picks up the whole earth
as though it were a grain of sand.
All the wood in Lebanon’s forests
and all Lebanon’s animals would not be enough
to make a burnt offering worthy of our God.
The nations of the world are worth nothing to him.
In his eyes they count for less than nothing—
mere emptiness and froth.

Isaiah 40:15-17

The Gospel is about how Good God is, not how bad we are!!!

Michael J. Weiss, Sr.

The Lord Has No Equal

Who else has held the oceans in his hand?
Who has measured off the heavens with his fingers?
Who else knows the weight of the earth
or has weighed the mountains and hills on a scale?
Who is able to advise the Spirit of the Lord?
Who knows enough to give him advice or teach him?
Has the Lord ever needed anyone’s advice?
Does he need instruction about what is good?
Did someone teach him what is right
or show him the path of justice?

Isaiah 40:12-14

God Loves Us, Jesus, Messiah

Who Is Your Advocate?

Michael J. Weiss, Sr.

“My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous; and He Himself is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for those of the whole world (1 John 1:1, 2 NASB).”

“You are my dear children, and I write these things to you so that you won’t sin. But if anyone does sin, we continually have a forgiving Redeemer who is face-to-face with the Father: Jesus Christ, the Righteous One. He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world (1 John 2:1, 2, TPT).”

The prosecutor, the devil, is not wrong when he proclaims that you have broken God’s laws (Rom 3:23). The question is not “am I guilty,” it is “who is representing me in heavens court room?” Our Heavenly Father loves you and invites you to accept Jesus and Holy Spirit your Lawyer’s, your legal team. The other question is, “are you going to try to defend yourself or accept Father’s offer?”

The Advocates with the Father

“Christ engages in representative consultation on behalf of His people with a perfect understanding of the divine character and claims, and a full knowledge of existing needs. He is unlimited in His personal rights and resources and unhandicapped by incapacity or inability. In fulfilling this office of Advocate, Christ upholds the rights of the children of God, sustains the privileges of sonship and maintains the cause of every member of the household of faith. “Paraclete” or “Advocate” is made up of two parts, “para” meaning with, or alongside, and “klesis,” to call; that is, one called alongside. In the tabernacle of the Old Testament God spake from between the cherubim which were on the mercy seat of the ark of the covenant. The two cherubim in their typical teaching express advocacy. In the New Testament the Spirit of God and the Son of God are both called advocates. The import is plain. God the Father has called to His side the Spirit and the Son to co-operate in the work of mediation and maintenance for the benefit of His redeemed people. These are tangible tokens of the lovingkindness of the Lord to reassure our hearts that the entire work of salvation will be completed (1).

“Father God in view of the gracious and generous provision you have made for my salvation, I gratefully accept Messiah Jesus and Holy Spirit as my Advocates and walk with you like they do. O precious Messiah and Holy Spirit, my Advocates, you abide in the beauty of holiness before Father God continually from generation to generation. You act in every righteous cause, graciously. Appeal for me when I seek spiritual strength and favor, generously. Assure the perfecting of my salvation, gratuitously. You answer for my defects and defaults, grandly. And you advocate my access to the throne of grace and acceptance with Father God on the ground of reconciliation, gloriously (2).”

Open Door Policy

Michael J. Weiss, Sr.

Every commander in the U.S. Army is required to adhere to The Army’s Open-Door Policy, as per Army Regulation 600-20.

God, the Creator and Commander of all things, also has an open-door policy that he invites us to use daily.

The author of the Book of Hebrews invites us to join him in coming “boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most (Heb. 4:16, NLT).” Our confidence to enter Father God’s presence is because Jesus, the Great High Priest, led the way as our point man. Jesus’ assigned mission from his, and our Father, was to restore the broken relationship between mankind and Father God. Jesus busted through the brambles and vines of our sin and shame, cutting a narrow path back to our Father. Do you know why? Because God loves you! He wants you to know him, and Jesus personally (Jn. 3:16 & 17:3).

I love the picture of President Kennedy and his son. John John could play at his father’s feet because of their father son relationship. Father God invites us to play at his feet also. Actually, he gets on the floor and plays with us and meets with us where we are because he, through Jesus, “understands our weaknesses (Heb. 4:15).”

At the moment Jesus died on the cross, as a substantial sacrifice, for our sins, the thick veil that separated the holy place from the most holy place, in Herod’s Temple, was cut in two from top to bottom (Mt. 27:51; Mk. 15:38; Lk 23:45). The barrier that physically separated any of us from coming into God’s presence was removed, the way was now open. But more importantly, as point man, Jesus entered into Father’s presence in the heavenly temple, so we could follow him (Heb. 9:11, 12).

God cut the veil in Herod’s Temple to help us see two things; 1. We have open access to him and 2. He is coming out to be with us.

Father, Jesus and Holy Spirit love you so much. The Good News (Gospel) is more about how good God is and less about how bad we are. Jesus paid the price for our badness so we could enjoy God’s goodness!

What’s your Open-Door Policy?

Jesus is knocking on the door of your heart because God the Holy Spirit wants to live and have a relationship with you from the inside out. He wants to help you know how good God is so you will have the confidence to enter boldly into your Father God’s presence. It breaks Father’s heart when we hide from him like Adam and Eve did. Don’t hide from God but run to him when you hear him walking in the cool of the day to be with you (Gen. 3:8).

Jesus says, “Look! I stand at the door and knock. If you hear my voice and open the door, I will come in, and we will share a meal together as friends (Rev. 3:30, NLT).”

Jesus is inviting each of us, no matter what we have done or are doing, to open the door of our heart and ask him, the Good Shepherd, the Light of the World, the First Born of All Creation and Love himself, into our lives.

Please open the door.

Happy Passover and Resurrection

Michael J. Weiss, Sr.

Watch the Movie “Jesus” Free, April 10, 11 and 12

I love their announcement poster, its a beautiful moment is Jesus, and Peters, life. After Peter was walking on water, like Jesus, he got distracted by the wind and the waves. When he moved his focus away from Jesus he began to sink and cried out to Jesus for help. God tells us through the Gospel writers that, “immediately” Jesus reached out and saved him.

As Chaplain Richardson used to say towards the end of his messages, “What’s the so what of what I have shared,” the so what of what I just wrote for me is; When I am distracted and take my focus away from Jesus and begin to be overcome by the circumstances and cry out to Jesus for help he “immediately” helps me.

His help has been a peace that he is with me, a phone call from a friend, a letter or email, a bird singing, cloud formation, dolphins swimming near me while surfing, Darlene’s smile, our Granddaughters laughter and many other ways.

Happy Passover

Michael J. Weiss, Sr.

During the first Passover the families of Israel were under a stay at home order also. Their protection that night from the last plague, the death of the first born child and beast, was lambs blood on their door frames. When the LORD say blood on a door post he told the angle of death to passover that home, but when he didn’t see any blood he gave the angle of death permission to kill the first born child and beast.

I celebrate Israel’s salvation in Egypt and celebrate the opportunity for all mankind to be saved from death for life eternal. According to Jesus in John 17:3 eternal life is knowing our Heavenly Father, the one true God, and Jesus. Eternal life is a relationship with our loving powerful creator who invites us to call him Father like Jesus did.

Father’s invitation to have a relationship with him, through Jesus and with the help of Holy Spirit, is hand written to you in Jesus’s blood. Wherever you are right now, you can turn your heart toward heaven, ask Father to forgive you for everything you have done wrong in Jesus name and he will forgive you and make you his child.
