Ex. 34:30

When God was said to be a lion, people were excited. When Holy Spirit was compared to a dove people understood. When God was said to be the Father, people are slow to understand. People understood when you compare The Lord to animal and to a bird, but they do not understand when He was compared the to human being.

God sent Moses and he could not reveal the Father. God sent Elijah and he could not reveal the Father. Only Son can do this. So the Father when he was about to send the Son, he paused. It's because If there was a father and if he was cruel to his son, then if you go and tell that particular son that the God is like father then he would think that God is cruel. So the Father in heaven wanted the fathers to turn to their sons and sons to their fathers. Some one has to go ahead of Jesus and do this. This job was given to Elijah. 

Some people squeeze out their battery to the job, friends and to certain people and when they come home, they use the home as battery recharging socket. They do not come a bit of battery left in them. They supposed to keep some for the family because God can take it into his notice.

Salvation was given to us by Christ but carrying it to the end was a job given to us. You have to continue it with fear and trembling. It's an unavoidable battle. How am I standing, because I always have a fight. Body against the spirit and spirit against body. As long I have this battle this shows to my Lord that I am hungry and thirsty for the righteousness, and I will be satisfied. This battle may be heavy today and may be very light tomorrow but you can not get rid of it. This fear is not for punishment it's a passion to keep up the righteousness. This fear is ok. 

Punishment and result

Father said to son, "son, do not go this way. On this road I saw a big pit. This is a dangerous road. I will beat you if you take this road"

Feared to the punishment son replied, "ok, dad I will not go this way."

Yet, son's heart wanted to see the pit there. He wanted to find a chance to go on that road. There came a day that his dad is not around. So the son took his bicycle and went on this dangerous road. Suddenly he fell down into the pit. He broke his leg.

Then he heard a voice, "my son." Son lifted up his head and saw his dad. His father had tears in his eyes. Son said, "sorry dad." His dad came down and saved his son.

Lying on the hospital bed son asked,"are you not going to punish me dad?"

Father replied, "my son, I am not going to punish you. I forgive you. Nevertheless, I want you to know that the punishment for your disobedience has stopped but the result of your disobedience was not stopped. It broke your leg."

Exodus 21

Exodus 21



 (Exod 21:1 [KJV])
 Now these are the judgments which thou shalt set before them.

 Here God is addressing a single person. what happened to the all those millions of people? They said that they would die if they hear the voice of the Lord anymore. Ex 20:18

 Israelite elders said that they understood that they could live though heard the voice of the Lord. Basically what they are saying was, "We know the truth we cannot face it now." These people are leaders but i could not understand how they gonna lead people without hearing God's voice. i know many prayerful people in the bible but only those who could hear the voice of the Lord became good leaders.

 They are not 'now' people. when that "now" goes away from you then a virus called "postpone" enters your people. Moses prepared them ceremonially but did not prepare them mentally. He did not tell them how its gonna look like when the Lord comes and speaks. May be they are saying, "you should have told us ahead, we would have prepared." The "now" always comes when you are not prepared. some times it is not a performance to be prepared. you need to be ready for any thing that comes from the Lord.

 There are few things that postpone our development in different areas of our life. These are few of them:

1. Fear-Presence of God
 In India fear is named as godliness. Most of Indian gods have weapons in their hands. Some goddesses have their tongue out to scare. Fear is put in us to draw us near to God. These people are taking it an excuse to get away with God naming it falsely "godliness."

 God said to Noah after the flood,

 (Gen 9:2 [KJV])
 And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered.
 This is it. They fear and delivered into your hand. If you fear to something, you are delivered to it. Be careful.

 Some people praise fear. They esteem it by telling their fear many times. When you praise some thing, it increases up. Anything that goes bigger than you are, blocks the sun. When sun is blocked, you end up in dark.

 It is God whom supposed to fear but not to people.

 (Isa 51:13 [KJV])
 And forgettest the LORD thy maker, that hath stretched forth the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth; and hast feared continually every day because of the fury of the oppressor, as if he were ready to destroy? and where is the fury of the oppressor?

 Oppressors are there in every generation. Before the flood there were Nephilites. Bible says that,
 (Gen 6:4 [KJV])
 "There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that"

 After that... means they are there even now. Oppressors are there. Do not fear them. Fear the Lord who made heaven and earth.

 Isaiah says, (Isa 8:12-13 [KJV])
Say ye not, A confederacy, to all them to whom this people shall say, A confederacy; neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid. Sanctify the LORD of hosts himself; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread.


 When you fear God, it becomes your treasure. Isa. 33:6
