"Hello Fresh" Food for thought for a month of a short Sabbatical.

“Things too good to be true?”

Introduction: While I have feedback from my friends, “I will keep on writing.” I am under conviction to feed God’s servants on time, “Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom the master has put in charge of the servants in his household to give them their food at the proper time? It will be good for that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns.” Matthew 24:45,46.

Please be advised, I will be taking a short sabbatical the First of August when I will turn 49 years of jubilee walking with the Lord Jesus. Please make room in your pantry or refrigerators because I will send you this month plenty of food for thought to last you the month of August.

I have been preparing your food ahead of time. In case you miss any, visit my website, perugerry.com

“FOR WOMEN WHO SIT IN WAIT FOR JESUS.”

There are things too good to be true. If we do not talk about them it is because we either do not believe it or we doubt it and decide to live in guilty silence and shame for lacking the childlike faith.

“What are you talking about?” you might ask. Matthew 27:50-56
“And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he give up his spirit.”

At the death of Jesus the whole of History and the world was altered.

I am talking about, “The dead walking alive,” as opposed to, “The walking dead” of Hollywood which is the gross counterfeit designed to distract us and rob us of the greatest preview of the resurrection from the dead by the power of God.

At the death of Jesus, the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook and the rocks split. The tombs broken open and the bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life. They came out of the tombs, and after Jesus’ resurrection they went into the holy city and appeared to many people.

At the death of Jesus, darkness cover the earth at noon day, the curtain was torn, the earth shook, the rocks split, the tombs broke open, the deceased raised from the death and “MANY WOMEN” were there, sitting and watching from a distance but close enough to hear the Centurions testimony, “Surely he was the son of God.”

Thus witnessing was born at the foot of the cross to never stop as long as there are those who look after Jesus and watch near or at a distance the blessed Savior and Son of God being lifted up on the cross.

Think not about how long those bodies were in the grave or how decomposed they were or any skeletal gross appearance, just remember that they appeared to other people as if they never died.

There we are by the grace of God ourselves as those who have been raised from death to life as if we have never sinned thanks to Jesus.

With your permission and indulgence allow me to make a “strong statement” that we are “The dead walking alive” in glorious bodies no longer affected by the decaying effect of sin and death by the power of Jesus.

If I might exploit a little more the word picture, let me say that the world is full of “dead people walking alive in Jesus” crossing paths with “The walking real dead people of the evil in their sins and transgressions.”

It is my prayer and hope to encourage those women who are still sitting across the tomb of Jesus to keep on witnessing. Beware my beautiful sisters, your testimony will encounter resistance as the men of Samaria but it will all be futile for He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.

Nevertheless, you will live long enough to hear “the Samaritans say” ”We no longer believe because of your words but because we ourselves have heard him.”

Never mind, but if it were not from you they would have not heard in the first place. As the angel said to Mary I say to you most favored of God, “Just keep making the Son of God visible, only this time by giving birth to Jesus by your testimony.” Happy “delivery” to you my beautiful friends.

Bear in mind that the things too good to be true are that dead people are walking alive in Jesus. This is the life long answer that every living person has been searching for in their heart of hearts; but when it happened, they could not believe it “BECAUSE IT IS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE.”

Since it is really true, I am here to make sure that you build upon the fact of the victory of Jesus over sin and death. “IT IS A TRUE TOO GOOD NOT TO BE TRUE AND IT IS TRUE INDEED, BECAUSE THE LORD JESUS IS RISEN AND HE IS RISEN INDEED.”

Your cook and reminder and witness on duty today. A witness is one who has believed another credible witness.
