SabbathBlessings: "I'm off for now- hope you have a blessed day."



People might question, as I do, can you keep your word and the law at the same time, have a nice day, take care.
I found a few more extra minutes. Take care.

Sabbath: "Jesus kept the Sabbath reading God's Word"




Jesus broke it by letting His disciples rub the corn, but we are allowed to live off the Gospel..



Matthew 12:At that time Jesus went on the sabbath day through the corn; and his disciples were an hungred, and began to pluck the ears of corn and to eat.
2 But when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto him, Behold, thy disciples do that which is not lawful to do upon the sabbath day.
3 But he said unto them, Have ye not read what David did, when he was an hungred, and they that were with him;
4 How he entered into the house of God, and did eat the shewbread, which was not lawful for him to eat, neither for them which were with him, but only for the priests?
5 Or have ye not read in the law, how that on the sabbath days the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are blameless?

1 Corinthians 9:14 Even so hath the Lord ordained that they which preach the gospel should live of the gospel.
Jesus did not break the Sabbath. Jesus told us He kept His Fathers commandments and told us to as well. John 15:10. Jesus was not a sinner and this false teaching that Jesus sinned is leaving no hope for anyone. Jesus led the perfect life as our example. Jesus was accused of breaking the Sabbath commandment, but He wasn't He was keeping it. There is no where in the 4th commandment we are not allowed to eat on the Sabbath day. This was a rule the Pharisees created, not God.

Do you love your own self, or love another?



Through faith the world was made, and without faith we cannot please God...



Hebrews 11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.

Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.




These days the message is from the ones who please themselves, no labouring to enter in through faith.

Not all obeyed the Gospel of course, so then faith comes by hearing, to have faith when they hear..



Hebrews 4:1 Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.2 For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.

Romans 1016 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?
17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.



What is left to hear, but that they do not labour sufficiently ?

All think they love God, but they must avoid being a lover of their own selves, have they avoided it yet..



Revelation 2:2 I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars:
3 And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name's sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted.
4 Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.
5 Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.

2 Timothy 3:1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
Yeshua's summary of the Law is love G-d and love your neighbour as yourself. The implication is you cannot love others unless you first love yourself. Ie. if you cannot care for yourself how can you care for others?

If you love your life you keep it, if you love Christ and others more, you lay your life down for them, in the love of Christ...Prophecy...




John 10:17 Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.

1 John 3:16 Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

Mark 8:34 And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
35 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it.

Luke 14:26 If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.

Jesus speaks of the priests profaning ( breaking) the sabbath, in answer to the Pharisees unable to understand how the disciples could pluck the corn ( working) and then eat it.

The disciples were picking the grain and eating it because they were hungry, not picking the grain for harvesting. I would not want to accuse Jesus all over again of breaking the Sabbath. Jesus said He didn't so I believe Him. John 15:10 and not the Pharisees who accused Jesus.

I do find it interesting this belief that the Sabbath wasn't a commandment in the New Testament when obvious it was, Jesus was persecuted over falsely breaking the Sabbath which He wasn't Jesus kept the Sabbath and all of His Fathers commandments as our example, but yet so many even to this day still accuse Jesus of breaking the Sabbath and being a sinner. It's really sad.

sabbath: "The disciples were picking the grain and eating it because they were hungry, not picking the grain for harvesting"




Exodus 16 and Deuteronomy 5, state, to bake before the sabbath what they will bake, and seeth what they will seeth before the sabbath, and to labour and do all work in the six days, and on the seventh day to not do any work.




Exodus 16:23 And he said unto them, This is that which the Lord hath said, To morrow is the rest of the holy sabbath unto the Lord: bake that which ye will bake to day, and seethe that ye will seethe; and that which remaineth over lay up for you to be kept until the morning.

Deuteronomy 5:13 Six days thou shalt labour, and do all thy work:
14 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thine ox, nor thine ass, nor any of thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates; that thy manservant and thy maidservant may rest as well as thou.




More information is given for the feasts, such as passover and in the seventh day again, no manner of work is to be done by Israel, no manner of servile work, as it is rest, to do no work at all, but is a sabbath of rest.....





Exodus 12:16 And in the first day there shall be an holy convocation, and in the seventh day there shall be an holy convocation to you; no manner of work shall be done in them, save that which every man must eat, that only may be done of you.

Numbers 28:17 And in the fifteenth day of this month is the feast: seven days shall unleavened bread be eaten.
18 In the first day shall be an holy convocation; ye shall do no manner of servile work therein:

Leviticus 16:29 And this shall be a statute for ever unto you: that in the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, ye shall afflict your souls, and do no work at all, whether it be one of your own country, or a stranger that sojourneth among you:
30 For on that day shall the priest make an atonement for you, to cleanse you, that ye may be clean from all your sins before the Lord.
31 It shall be a sabbath of rest unto you, and ye shall afflict your souls, by a statute for ever.


Leviticus 23:31 Ye shall do no manner of work: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
32 It shall be unto you a sabbath of rest, and ye shall afflict your souls: in the ninth day of the month at even, from even unto even, shall ye celebrate your sabbath.




Remembering all that Israel has been told by Gods laws, ( no servile work at all of any kind and to bake and seeth before the seventh day) then the disciples of Jesus come and pluck corn. The Pharisees then it is understood why they immediately see that as incorrect according to the laws God had given to them ?



Luke 6:1 And it came to pass on the second sabbath after the first, that he went through the corn fields; and his disciples plucked the ears of corn, and did eat, rubbing them in their hands.
2 And certain of the Pharisees said unto them, Why do ye that which is not lawful to do on the sabbath days?






Jesus rehearsed the hidden ways ( now revealed through Christ) how it was NOT LAWFUL, for the men of David to eat what was ONLY LAWFUL for the priests, and concluded for Israel now, how the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath, and the sabbath was made for man, and man was not made for the sabbath ( the sabbath serves man and man does not serve the sabbath),..




Isaiah 52:15 So shall he sprinkle many nations; the kings shall shut their mouths at him: for that which had not been told them shall they see; and that which they had not heard shall they consider.

Luke 6:4 How he went into the house of God, and did take and eat the shewbread, and gave also to them that were with him; which it is not lawful to eat but for the priests alone?
5 And he said unto them, That the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.

Mark 2:27 And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath:
28 Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.

1 Samuel 21:4 And the priest answered David, and said, There is no common bread under mine hand, but there is hallowed bread; if the young men have kept themselves at least from women.
5 And David answered the priest, and said unto him, Of a truth women have been kept from us about these three days, since I came out, and the vessels of the young men are holy, and the bread is in a manner common, yea, though it were sanctified this day in the vessel.








sabbath: "Jesus was persecuted over falsely breaking the Sabbath which He wasn't Jesus kept the Sabbath and all of His Fathers commandments as our example, but yet so many even to this day still accuse Jesus of breaking the Sabbath and being a sinner. "






Rest and no work on the sabbath, was what was the law, told to Israel from the Lord God.

Carrying ones bed is not resting, and Jesus made sure He commanded the man He had cured, to take up his bed and walk with it on the sabbath.

Jesus answers the Pharisees ( again revealing all what was kept secret to Israel before for them to shut their mouths at him and consider) how God works and He works also, and the Jews were angry, for TWO REASONS, 1. that Jesus had broken the sabbath, 2. and said also that God was His father ( THIS MAKES THE SON EQUAL WITH THE FATHER)

Jesus answered ( THIS IS CONFIRMING THE NON KEEPING BUT BREAKING OF THE SABBATH AND THAT JESUS IS EQUAL TO GOD) that the Son can do nothing but what the Father does ( this is what the Son sees, as the Son sees all things) and the Son of God does all that the father does ( the father does not keep the laws that were given to Israel)....




John 5:10 The Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath day: it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed.
11 He answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me, Take up thy bed, and walk.
12 Then asked they him, What man is that which said unto thee, Take up thy bed, and walk?


John 5:16 And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he had done these things on the sabbath day.
17 But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.
18 Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.
19 Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.





Jesus did His work, and rehearsed again ( all that they did not consider before was now told to them to shut their mouths at Him) how the Jews circumcise a man on the sabbath day.

The circumcision on the sabbath they considered to not break the sabbath, ( it is the covenant between God and Israel and not the law) and therefore Jesus heals and does the Fathers works on the sabbath, as it is of faith and not the law...




John 7:21 Jesus answered and said unto them, I have done one work, and ye all marvel.
22 Moses therefore gave unto you circumcision; (not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers;) and ye on the sabbath day circumcise a man.
23 If a man on the sabbath day receive circumcision, that the law of Moses should not be broken; are ye angry at me, because I have made a man every whit whole on the sabbath day?
24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.




Jesus again confounds the Jews, because of healing on the sabbath ( and not resting as they believed in laws) and there was a division among the people of Israel, and the division was because they could not see Jesus keeping the sabbath day, and that to them was sin, but they also were confused then, how Jesus has power to do such miracles ( and always doing these thnngs on the sabbath day and never resting on it according to their commandment of law)...



John 9:14 And it was the sabbath day when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.
15 Then again the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. He said unto them, He put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed, and do see.
16 Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This man is not of God, because he keepeth not the sabbath day. Others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a division among them.

One commandment out of the ten is not profiting others by observing it.

I'm very confident it is quite profitable to others.

Sky: "I'm very confident it is quite profitable to others."


2 Corinthians 3:3 Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart.
God’s commandments was not written in ink, it was written by the finger of God in stone. This is a direct reference to the law of Moses.

God’s commandments are written in the heart and mind in the New Covenant, with an open heart and praying to God to do His will, which He wrote on stone now in our hearts and minds the Holy Spirit will lead us closer to God through our belief, love, faith and obedience.

In the day of their fasts,(whatever they are fasting from in that day) they find their own pleasures, they fast for strife and debate. ( this is detailed again in the new testament they are full of envy, debate, deceit) to make their voice to be heard on high.

Go declares, this way is not the way the Lord has chosen, for a man on a day to afflict his soul, to bow down his head, this is not called a fast nor an acceptable day to the Lord......



Romans 1:29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,

Isaiah 58:3 Wherefore have we fasted, say they, and thou seest not? wherefore have we afflicted our soul, and thou takest no knowledge? Behold, in the day of your fast ye find pleasure, and exact all your labours.
4 Behold, ye fast for strife and debate, and to smite with the fist of wickedness: ye shall not fast as ye do this day, to make your voice to be heard on high.
5 Is it such a fast that I have chosen? a day for a man to afflict his soul? is it to bow down his head as a bulrush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him? wilt thou call this a fast, and an acceptable day to the Lord?




The fast ( and the day) the Lord has chosen is to loosen wickedness in it's bands, undoing heavy burdens from others, letting the oppressed ( of the devil) free, breaking every yoke of the devil, how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power, who went about doing good and healing all that were oppressed of the devil, God was with Him...



Acts 10:38 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.

Isaiah 58:6 Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?





To not hide yourself from your own flesh, but to bring the poor to your own house, then the glory of the Lord is your reward and your righteousness goes before you.

Then you shall call and the Lord shall answer, if you take away the yoke ( of bondage) and the putting forth of your finger ( debating and accusing) and speaking vanity ( for your strife and debate) to instead give mercy and draw out your soul to the hungry and help the afflicted soul, then your light rises in obscurity.

Jesus teaching on the sabbath, loosed a woman from her infirmity, and she was made straight and glorified God...




Isaiah 58:7 Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh?
8 Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the Lord shall be thy reward.
9 Then shalt thou call, and the Lord shall answer; thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I am. If thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking vanity;
10 And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness be as the noon day:

Luke 13:10 And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath.
11 And, behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise lift up herself.
12 And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said unto her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity.
13 And he laid his hands on her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.



The ruler of the synagogue was angry, as Jesus had healed on the sabbath ( dong the works of God as on every day as Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and to day and for ever)

Jesus answers the hypocrites, how they do good for their own on sabbath day, and satan had bound that woman eighteen years, and she ought to be loose3d on the sabbath day ( God especially doing His work on the sabbath day)

Then all the adversaries of the Lord were ashamed and the people rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by the Lord..




Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.

Luke 13:14 And the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because that Jesus had healed on the sabbath day, and said unto the people, There are six days in which men ought to work: in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the sabbath day.
15 The Lord then answered him, and said, Thou hypocrite, doth not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the stall, and lead him away to watering?
16 And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?
17 And when he had said these things, all his adversaries were ashamed: and all the people rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him.
