PASSOVER this Thursday evening !!

AN EVENING PRAYER

by Maude Battersby

If I have wounded any soul today,
If I have caused one foot to go astray,
If I have walked in my own willful way,
Dear Lord, forgive!

If I have uttered idle words or vain,
If I have turned aside from want or pain,
Lest I myself shall suffer through the strain,
Dear Lord, forgive!

If I have been perverse or hard, or cold,
If I have longed for shelter in Thy fold,
When Thou hast given me some fort to hold,
Dear Lord, forgive!

Forgive the sins I have confessed to Thee;
Forgive the secret sins I do not see;
O guide me, love me and my keeper be,
Dear Lord, Amen

......

IT IS VERY SOON PASSOVER EVENING - THIS YEAR
THURSDAY EVENING - APRIL 5TH

PAUL WAS INSPIRED TO SAY WE SHOULD EXAMINE OURSELF,
THEN PARTAKE.

I THINK AS WE DO THIS WE SHALL SEE WHY WE ARE SAVED BY GRACE.
WE WANT, WE TRY, TO OBEY GOD, TO KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS,
YET IN THOUGHT, WORD, DEED, WE ARE LIKE PAUL IN ROMANS
7 - THE THINGS WE SHOULD DO WE DO NOT, AND THE THINGS WE SHOULD
NOT DO, WE OFTEN DO. I DOUBT WE HAVE ANY JOB PEOPLE OUT THERE,
OR NOAH, OR DANIEL, HELD UP BY GOD IN THE BOOK OF EZEKIEL AS
PROBABLY THE THREE MOST RIGHTOUS PEOPLE, IN THE OLD TESTAMENT.

TRULY WE ARE SAVED BY GRACE, AND NOW IS THE TIME TO MEDITATE
UPON THAT FACT AS WE COME TO THIS PASSOVER AND FEAST OF UNLEAVNED
BREAD.

MAYBE YOU'D LIKE TO STUDY MY STUDIES ON MY WEBSITE CALLED:
"SAVED BY GRACE" - "PASSOVER IS FOR ALL PEOPLE" AND "HUMILITY -
THE PRECIOUS GEM OF THE CHRISTIAN CROWN."

YES THIS IS THE SEASON TO REFLECT ON OUR WEAKNESS OF THE FLESH,
WHERE WE HAVE MISSED THE MARK, BUT ALSO ON THE GREAT LOVE AND
MERCY, THE GRACE OF GOD, THE LOVE OF CHRIST JESUS, WHO WAS
WILLING TO PUT ASIDE THE GLORY OF THE GODHEAD AND COME TO EARTH
AS A PHYSICAL MAN, FIGHT THE BATTLE OF BEING TEMPTED IN ALL
POINTS AS WE, BUT NEVER SINNING, NO NOT ONCE, SO HE COULD BE
NAILED UP ON THAT STAKE OF WOOD - HAVE HIS BLOOD POURED OUT -
TAKE OUR SINS ON HIMSELF, SO THROUGH HIS SACRIFICE WE COULD
BE FORGIVEN, MADE AT-ONE WITH THE FATHER.

THERE ARE SO MANY SCRIPTURE PASSAGES WE CAN READ - ISAIAH 53;
PHILIPPEANS 2; ROMANS 6-8; THE LAST CHAPTERS OF THE GOSPEL OF
JOHN.

PASSOVER EVENING, WELL PASSOVER NIGHT, IS THE NIGHT TO BE
OBSERVED. IT IS AFTER SUNSET A NIGHT TO STAY UP LATE AND OBSERVE
THAT NIGHT IN SCRIPTURE READING AND MEDITATION AND PRAYER AND
SELF-EXAMINATION. IT IS A GOOD NIGHT TO MAKE SOME NEW YEAR
RESOLUTIONS. YOU CAN MEDITATE ON WHERE, WHAT AREAS OF LIFE
YOU COULD IMPROVE ON. IT IS A NIGHT TO LEAVE THE TV IN THE OFF
MODE, AND JUST ENJOY YOUR TIME WITH GOD AND CHRIST, IN THE
WORD OF GOD, MAYBE A SPECIAL STUDY THAT YOU'VE WANTED TO DO,
BUT JUST HAVEN'T GOT AROUND TO DO IT.

THE PASSOVER IS A FEAST OF THE LORD - SO MAKE IT A SPIRITUAL
FEAST - SET YOUR MIND YOU WILL MAKE IT A NIGHT TO BE OBSERVED.
YOU WILL BE RICHLY BLESSED FOR SO DOING.

REMEMBER THE BRETHREN AROUND THE WORLD - WE HAVE MANY IN INDIA,
WHO ARE SERVING OUR GOD IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH. GOD IS WORKING,
AND MANY NEW ONES ARE GIVING THEMSELVES AND THEIR LIVES TO THE
GOSPEL AND THE KINGDOM OF GOD. I CAN TELL YOU WE HAVE MINISTERS
IN INDIA, NEVER A PART OF THE ORGANIZATIONS MANY OF US CAME OUT
OF, WHO ARE BUSY GIVING OUT THE TRUTHS OF GOD AND FRUIT IS COMING
FORTH. I'M IN CONTACT WITH SOME, THEIR NAMES ARE NOT IMPORTANT,
AS YOU PRAY FOR THEM, GOD KNOWS WHO THEY ARE.

BRETHREN, THE LORD IS WORKING MIGHTILY, JESUS IS STILL HEAD OF
HIS CHURCH, THE WORD AND TRUTHS OF GOD ARE GOING FORTH, AND THEY
ARE NOT RETURNING TO HIM VIOD.

YES, MANY OF US ARE SCATTERED, ONE HERE, AND ONE THERE, A FEW
HERE AND A FEW THERE, A CONGREGATION HERE AND ANOTHER OVER THERE,
LIKE THE SALT OF THE EARTH ARE GOD'S CHILDREN. BUT I CAN TELL YOU
BRETHREN CHRIST'S CHURCH - HIS PEOPLE - ARE STILL OUT THERE AND IN
THEIR WAY PROCLAIMING THE GOOD NEWS OF SALVATION AND THE KINGDOM OF GOD,
THE AGE TO COME.

MAKE THIS PASSOVER NIGHT, THE NIGHT TO BE MUCH OBSERVED, A
BEAUTIFUL AND SPIRITUALLY GLORIOUS NIGHT.

MY DEEPEST LOVE GOES TO YOU ALL,

Keith Hunt
