"You must keep the Israelites separate from things that make them unclean, so they will not die in their uncleanness for defiling my dwelling place, which is among them." Leviticus 15: 31

What I got from Jesus today is: Die in uncleanness!

Reading this chapter is quite embarrassing! But, that's what God explained to His people in details what was clean and unclean. And, if they did not follow all those complicated rules they might die in uncleanness when they approached the Tent.

How prepare we are when we go to worship God in His temple?

Dear Holy Spirit,

Help us to prepare ourselves before we worship so that we won't die in unclenness. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

Please click this link to read Leviticus 14

"These are the regulations for any infectious skin disease, for an itch, for mildew in clothing or in a house, and for a swelling, a rash or a bright spot, to determine when something is clean or unclean." Leviticus 14: 54-57

What I got from Jesus today is: Are you clean?

Today Jesus asked me to count how many times the word "clean". And when I started to do so He said that was not enough and asked me to count the word "cleansing" or "cleansed" as well. The result was there are 9 "clean" and 15 "cleansing/cleansed".

The process of cleansing was so important to make sure everybody was clean so that they could enjoy their daily lives as God's people. If they were not clean then they needed cleansing.

Are you clean? Do you need cleansing?

Dear Holy Spirit,

Help us to know whether we are clean or not. If we are not clean then lead us to find a way of our cleansing. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

Please click this link to read Leviticus 13

The Lord said to Moses and Aaron, "When anyone has a swelling or a rash or a bright spot on his skin that may become an infectious skin disease, he must be brought to Aaron the priest or to one of his sons who is a priest. Leviticus 13: 1-2

What I got from Jesus today is: Love your priest!

The word "priest" repeated 52 times in this chapter. How important a priest was when God started His first ordination for that five priests, Aaron and his four sons. Two sons died because they did not obey what God wanted them. It shows how important priests are in the eyes of God and God will deal with those priests in His own way when they do not obey God's command.

Here in this chapter we see how important priests were that only priests had the authority to announce whether someone was completely healed from certain kinds of diseases. How blessed a church is when they have a faithful priest and all people loves that priest. This October will be my 25th anniversary of my ordination as a priest. I have seen too many examples of how the Deceiver did all kinds of tricks to pull away the trust of people from their priest. It was so painful to see that to happen! Don't join in that kind of "dirty" work to pull down your priest! Do you know who wins when people plot to pull down their priest? Do you know how much it hurt God's heart and the hearts of all people in that church when a group of people want to pull down their priest? Do you know what would become of you when you take part in pulling down one of God's servants in the name of God, when you are just like those people cried out, "Crucify him! Crucify him!"

Try all your best to pray, support and love your priest please!!!

Dear Lord Jesus,

Help us to try all our best to pray, support and love our priest. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

Please click this link to read Leviticus 12

"The priest shall offer them before the Lord to make atonement for her, and then she will be ceremonially clean from her flow of blood." Leviticus 12: 7

What I got from Jesus today is: Don't ask why, just do it!

Take a look at all those complicated rules and laws in Leviticus, some of those seems so unfair, unnecessary and meaningless. There are some medical research telling people that those rules were just like the rules in the hospital nowadays as safety rules protecting more people from getting infections. But still some of those we would never understand why. Would you have any question to the Lord asking why if you were there? Yes, of course. But the Israelites didn't, why? Because they had been through those question and answer time and they had been seriously trained by God to just listen and obey. Why? They knew the consequence if they did not listen and obey and they had a total trust in God.

I do hope and pray that you have through those question and answer state and ready to listen and obey!

Dear Lord Jesus,

Help us to be able to trust you totally that we can be able to live a life of just listen and obey. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

Please click this link to read Leviticus 11

"I am the Lord who brought you up out of Egypt to be your God; therefore be holy, because I am holy."

"You must distinguish between the unclean and the clean, between living creatures that may be eaten and those that may not be eaten." Leviticus 11: 45, 47

What I got from Jesus today is: Holy or unholy?

As I said before, lots of Christians stop reading this kind of chapters talking about those rules do not concern with us anymore. But, we need to know that God wanted to teach His people what was holy and unholy using His own way in His own time. And the bottom line is that when God says it is holy then it is holy and when God says it is not holy it is unholy, so simple.

At that time people had Moses told them what God told him what is holy. Now, most of the time we have similar things as the Church tells us what we need to do and what need to do according to the Bible. But, is that all? What about when the Church tells you that the "unholy" is now "holy"? It is for this reason we, Christians of Anglican Mission left the Episcopal Church of America and the Anglican Church of Canada many years ago.

We need to be able to distinguish what is holy and unholy. To be able to do that we need to learn more through the Bible, the Church and most of all our daily intimate personal relationship with God. Without those kinds of connections and relationship we will never be able to distinguish what is holy and unholy!

Dear Lord Jesus,

Help us to be able to distinguish what is holy and unholy. Guide us in our daily walk and relationship with you that we can have that kind of discernment. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

Please click this link to read Leviticus 10

"You must distinguish between the holy and the common, between the unclean and the clean, and you must teach the Israelites all the decrees the Lord has given them through Moses." Leviticus 10: 10-11

What I got from Jesus today is: Disobey, dishonor, die!

What a contrast of this chapter to the last one!

You must be thinking and asking, "Why such a severe punishment? Was that too much?"

You can find the answer from what God told Aaron through Moses:

"Among those who approach me I will show myself holy;

in the sight of all the people I will be honored."

Aaron remained silent. Leviticus 10: 3

Then from what God told Aaron personally:

"You must distinguish between the holy and the common,

between the unclean and the clean,

and you must teach the Israelites all the decrees the Lord has given them through Moses."

Leviticus 10: 10-11

That the job of priests to honor God, to be able to distinguish between the holy and the common, between the unclean and the clean and to teach the law of God. You need to know that this tragedy happened in the very beginning of Aaron and his four sons to exercise a priestly function. God killed them to teach the Israelites a big lesson so that they would not do the same mistake again!

Do not think that you can get away from this kind of punishment because you are not a priest. Because Jesus just told me to give you this verse to memorize reminding you that you are a priest in His sight:

But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.

1 Peter 2: 9

What did Jesus tell you today through this post? What have you received from Jesus today?

Dear Lord Jesus,

Help us to honor you with everything we've got that you can work through us to bring people out of darkness into Your wonderful light. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
