Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem

The mobile home down the street from me had been occupied for many years by a poor widow who could not afford to keep it up. Jim, a friend of mine bought the unit, and, as a qualified contractor, determined to totally renovate it and rent it out for a nice profit. He had already had great success with another home in the park, so this one would be a cinch!

As time wore on, he realized that it was not going to be so easy. When the record-breaking Winter of 2014 left ten feet of snow on top of the mobile home, helpful neighbors had shoveled it off, but broke off all the appropriate vent pipes in the process. This allowed water to seep in between the walls and grow mold. I said to Jim, "Hey Jim, there are whole Chapters in Leviticus about that stuff! You're gonna have to burn the place down!"

Of course, Jim knows the proper treatments that will eliminate the problem, but the job has been delayed and will cost a lot more than he had planned.

Yeast, Leavening, and Mold are famous for spreading, once they get started. They bubble and froth, produce gasses that ferment beer, wine, and cheese, and will continue to do so until the process is stopped or the host completely consumed.

Jesus uses the concept of Yeast when speaking of false teachings that can infect and ruin a person's faith. These false teachings grow and consume the original Faith and become an end in and of themselves. It could be legalism, false asceticism, or their polar opposites, licentiousness and lawlessness, but, ANYTHING that detracts from the purity of the Gospel ends up growing a life of its own.

Come and Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem, For Our FRiends in Need, For Persecuted Believers, and For Our Beloved Nation.

"The counsel of the LORD stands forever, The plans of His heart from generation to generation. Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, The people whom He has chosen for His own inheritance..” Psalm 33 NASB

God Bless America!

Wow! That looks exactly like the sourdough loaf that my hubby made the other day! It’s tasty but the crust is like cement...not his fault; it’s supposed to be. LOL! It rises in a basket that has a fancy french name and that gives it the ribbed texture.

Mold is nasty stuff.

A house a few blocks from where I live was abandoned after a nasty divorce. The wife left the water on — for a week. Mold followed. It was a health hazard. Finally, a contractor who specializes in rehabbing meth houses cleaned it up. It’s on the market again.

Great picture of sin.

Joining in prayer, left that other site, for the Peace of Jerusalem and for revival in our beloved America.

"Meal In The House Of Matthew"
James J.J. Tissot

_ HE Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting desired him that he would shew them a sign from heaven.

He answered and said unto them,
When it is evening, ye say, It will be
fair weather: for the sky is red.

And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowering. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?

A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas. And he left them, and departed.

And when his disciples were come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread.

Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.

And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have taken no bread.

Which when Jesus perceived, he said unto them, O ye of little faith, why reason ye among yourselves, because ye have brought no bread?

Do ye not yet understand, neither remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?

Neither the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?

How is it that ye do not understand that I spake it not to you concerning bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees?

12 Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.
