Awaken the Passion Quotes

“Remember, God wants you to plow up the hard ground of your hearts! Cleanse your hearts and minds before the Lord. Confess your sins to God. Offer your sacrificial lambs and repent.” He stepped down and said, “I will be sacrificing an animal at the temple for myself and my family and friends. If any of you want to join me, you can be free from guilt and shame, as well.”

“You do not have to be afraid. Let God guide your life. The guidance that God gives you can lead you to a safe life,” said Aurora. “Humans make decisions that are contrary to God’s will. If only you would choose to seek Him, He will help you find His way through your tribulation.”

“The high and lofty one who inhabits eternity, the Holy One, says this: ‘I live in that high and holy place with those whose spirits are contrite and humble. I, your God, refresh the humble and give new courage to those with repentant hearts.’” Raising her eyes, she saw seven gold lamp stands. Standing in the center was one wearing a long robe with a gold sash across his chest. His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow. His eyes were bright like flames of fire. His feet were as bright as bronze refined in a furnace. His voice thundered like mighty ocean waves. And his face was as bright as the sun. He said, “See, I am coming soon, and my reward is with me, to repay all according to their deeds. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End. See! I am coming soon.”

“Where is Sammael?” “He has gone to pay the price to God for loving me, for loving a human,” she said. “What do you know of it?” “Perhaps it is only my belief,” he said, “but I would say that the prince is not coming back. Not ever!” “I agree. Sometimes, you just know when it is final,” she said, sniffling. “If he does not return, will you care for the palace?” “Yes, I will.” “It is yours until you hear otherwise.” Rachael made her way carefully into the big room. Servants of every age, shape and size met her. As she went inside, they all bowed deeply. They sat around the room like wailers at a funeral. She could tell that they, too, all knew that Sammael was gone.”

“I know that humans will get a chance to choose whether to please themselves or please God. Punishment follows when they make the wrong choice. They get a substitute when they miss the mark that will take their punishment for them. They can go free, but it’s not so for angels. The angels who displease God will pay the price. We have no redeemer, no sacrifice we can make. We are bound to God’s laws and there is no escape from it. We are His.”

“I do not choose to go or not go,” he said. “A court in Heaven decides my fate and I must obey. I do not have free will as you do.” “I understand now.” Tears filled her eyes as she finally did understand that Sammael served God, no matter what His will.”

“We want to show respect to the God of Heaven,” Asher said. King Asher had decreed a fifteen percent tax on all of a man’s earnings for every adult citizen in Alalakh. A tithe of that amount went to support the priests who maintained the temple of God. The money was to be set apart once a month. Asher told Rachael that he wanted to set a good example for all to see that he served the God of Heaven. He was told at an early age that God had set him apart to be a Goel, one who could redeem the people. He had always been Kenana’s Goel. “Father,” she said. “I think Mother needs a Goel now.” “Are you referring to her relationship with Tall?” “Yes,” said Rachael. “I think she is being unfaithful to you.” Asher nodded. “I have felt her distance. You know, Rachael, you may be right.” “What she needs is cleansing of her soul right now.” Asher sighed. “My job has always been to watch over her, no matter what she does.” “What is that?” “I am sure she will return to Adah with Tall.” “What will you do when she does?” “I will spend much time with the priests. Tyro and Leah will take a leadership role as Prince and Princess of Mesopotamia.” “Good choices.”

“I want to remind everyone to go to the temple tomorrow to get your sins covered. When it comes time to offer the sacrifice, I have selected the best lambs to be sacrificed. Our king gave the finest gold for the purchasing of garments and curtains in the temple. Plus, he has enabled the priests to always look their best.”

“How beautiful you are, my darling! Oh how beautiful. Your eyes behind your veil are doves. Your hair is like a flock of goats descending from Mount Gilead. Your teeth are like a flock of sheep just shaved, coming up from the washing. Each has its twin. No one of them is alone.”

“It is El who conceals a matter, but the glory of kings to search it out. I am a searcher, my dear. I search for wisdom and knowledge and peace. We will have a happy life together.”

“There was one Angelos known as Sammael. His name was important. Sam meant that he was poison; El meant that he served God. He represented both evil and good. He was the chief ruler of the Fifth Heaven, and also, he was the angel of death. Millennia went by and humans appeared on the Earth, created by God. At that time, all people knew God as El. They honored Him to the best of their abilities, because it was obvious to them that someone had created the flowers and trees.”

“but even with pure love, problems arose. The highest of the Angelos was a beautiful, gifted spirit called Lucifer. He led the choirs and symphonies for the Creator. Yet, one day, his heart hardened with jealousy of the Supreme Being, and he fell like lightning from Heaven. When he led a revolt against the Most High, God banished him from His presence. Angered, Lucifer was determined to overthrow El, the God of creation, and thus, the war began between good and evil.”

“It was the time before time began for humans… The entities that existed were the High Spiritual Watchers, also known as the Angelos. In this time, love was the unspoken universal language and the love of the Angelos exceedingly surpassed the love of humans. Their love knew no bounds.”
