The Breastplate, The Anointing.

Exodus 39:1, 8-10, 21 -  From the blue, purple and scarlet yarn  they made woven garments for ministering in the sanctuary.  They also made sacred garments  for Aaron, as the  Lord  commanded Moses...  They fashioned the breastpiece —the work of a skilled craftsman. They made it like the ephod: of gold, and of blue, purple and scarlet yarn, and of finely twisted linen.   9  It was square—a span long and a span wide—and folded double.   10  Then they mounted four rows of precious stones on it. T 21  They tied the rings of the breastpiece to the rings of the ephod with blue cord, connecting it to the waistband so that the breastpiece would not swing out from the ephod—as the  Lord  commanded Moses.      It is currently 12:30 AM as I am writing, and I firmly believe God is speaking to someone who is reading this.       You may be wondering how can an inspiring message come from a passage like this. Believe me, I did too. I mean, it is a portion of Exodus that explains how priest

In The Jungle, The Mighty Jungle

In fact, we have all heard the story, read the story, and probably even acted as one of the many influential people in a church play. You're probably wondering, "What else of the one-thousand lessons from Moses is GracePerfected going to expound upon?". Well, my friend, these two powerful verses are more than just an explanation of how Moses came to the burning bush.       Moses was tending his father-in-law's flock one day. I don't know about you, but if I was tending a flock I wouldn't go to the far end of the wilderness. If you think about it, Moses mos

Who Do I Look To?

          We all have annoying habits. An annoying habit of yours could be you chew with your mouth open, or you bite your nails. But having an annoying habit is different than having a sinful habit. An annoying habit can be overlooked, but a sinful habit can eventually hurt everything about you.      Lets get personal. Something that I have been dealing with recently is disappointment. A lot of it actually. It seems everywhere I look someone or something is hurting every area in my life. I could say that I am getting better in dealing with this discouragement, but in reality I find myself growing in resentment towards people. At one point I told God "hey, why should I be loving if no one cares about me anyway?". So on and so forth, frustration became my sinful habit.      One night I decided to look to God and divulge all my frustration to Him. All of a sudden I had an urge to watch an online sermon by a preacher I had never listened to before. That is very unlike me,
