The River Youth Group Verse of the Week

This verse was my verse of the day for Sunday, May 30, 2021. I think it adequately describes the desire of the Father’s heart for the outcome for our church, our youth group, our state, and our nation. This verse reminds me of the Sermon on the Mount when Jesus finished giving the Beatitudes, He introduced the Salt and the Light passage:

Salt and Light

¹³ “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.

¹⁴ “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. ¹⁵ Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. ¹⁶ In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.

Matthew 5-7New International Version

Introduction to the Sermon on the Mount

Jesus refers to His followers as a “city on the hill” shining it’s light–that cannot be hidden. In addition, Ronald Reagan referred to the U.S. as the shining “city on the hill” inside several of his speeches. Several have prophesied that the U.S. is the hope to the nations as well as the defender of Israel. Our country, our state, and our children still belong to ELOHIM!! Through the blood of Yesuah, we have been covered and consecrated in a New Covenant with our Creator. Yet, our New Covenant will not forget the Ark of the Covenant, and the Body of Christ is one with Israel, Elohim’s firstborn!

Church! Don’t forget Israel, the firstborn of Elohim–remember the INHERITANCE. Moses reminded Pharaoh to release Elohim’s firstborn (Israel), and Pharaoh lost his firstborn because he refused God’s command.

“Thus saith the LORD, Israel is my son, my firstborn. (Exodus 4:22) This is prophetically attached to Ephraim, the Kingdom of Israel in Jeremiah 31:9

I hear Elohim say that RESTORATION and REVIVAL will come to His children on the Earth through the Body of Christ: thus, the salvation of the people of Israel SHALL come–NOW. Israel is FOREVER God’s firstborn–loved, protected, restored, and saved. We, the Body of Christ, and the United States, followers of Christ, DO NOT FORGET these facts. Don’t allow the Father to Passover us without seeing the Blood of the Lamb.
