The chat will start when you send the first message.
1Hear me, my sacred family! I want you to know that when I send my voice to the Great Spirit my heart beats with a great longing to see my own Tribal People set free and made whole.
2I speak the truth when I say that their dedication to the Great Spirit burns like a wildfire! But this fire has been set ablaze with no understanding.
3Since they did not understand Creator’s path to good standing, they tried to make their own way. But in doing so, they did not walk Creator’s path and never found good standing in his eyes.
4The law finds its true meaning and purpose in the Chosen One, for good standing with the Great Spirit comes from trusting in what he has done.
5Here is what the lawgiver Drawn from the Water (Moses) has written down about finding good standing by following the law: “The man who seeks good standing through the law must find it by keeping the law all the days of his life.”[#10:5 Leviticus 18:5]
6But here is what is written down for the ones who trust in Creator for their good standing: “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will go up into the spirit-world above?’”—to bring the Chosen One down—[#10:6 Deuteronomy 30:12]
7“or ‘Who will go down into the deep dark pit of the world below?’”—to raise the Chosen One up from the dead.[#10:7 Deuteronomy 30:13]
8But if it does not say that , what does it say to us? It says, “The word is not far away from you. It is in your mouth and in your heart.” It is not far away in the spirit-world above or buried in the earth below.[#10:8 Deuteronomy 30:14]
So then, this is the message of trusting that we speak:
9if you will lift up your voice and make it known that Creator Sets Free (Jesus) is the Honored Chief over all the earth, and trust in your heart that the Great Spirit has raised him from the dead, you will be set free and made whole.
10For trusting comes from the heart and leads to good standing. Then the mouth says what the heart believes, which takes us down the path of being set free and made whole.
11The Sacred Teachings tell us, “All who trust in him will never be dishonored or put to shame.”[#10:11 Isaiah 28:16 (Septuagint)]
12So it matters not whether one is a Tribal Member or from an Outside Nation, for the same one we call Chief is the Great Spirit of all people. He pours out his treasures on all who call out to him.[#10:12 Jew; #10:12 Greek]
13For “anyone who calls out to our Great Spirit Chief Creator Sets Free (Jesus) will be set free and made whole.”[#10:13 Joel 2:32]
14But how can anyone trust in or call out to one they have never heard of? And how can they hear if no one has told them? And how will his message reach their ears if no one is sent?
15Just as it is written down in the Sacred Teachings, “How beautiful are the feet of the good story bringers, who tell about the good things Creator has done for us through the Chosen One !”[#10:15 Isaiah 52:7]
16But not everyone who heard this good story has trusted in its message. For the prophet Creator Will Help Us (Isaiah) has said, “Great Spirit, who has trusted in our message?”[#10:16 Isaiah 53:1]
17So you can see that hearing and trusting must walk together and follow the path given to us by Creator’s Chosen One.
18But our Tribal People have not heard this message, have they? Yes, they have! The book of Sacred Songs tells us , “The voice of the stars in the night sky has spoken to all the land. Their message has traveled the four directions to the furthest places on earth.”[#10:18 Psalm 19:4]
19But the tribes of Wrestles with Creator (Israel) did not know that this message was also for the Outside Nations, did they? Yes, they did! For Drawn from the Water (Moses) was the first to say to them, “I will make you jealous by a nation that has no standing in my eyes,” says the Great Spirit. “I will make you angry by a nation that does not understand my ways.”[#10:19 Deuteronomy 32:21]
20And Creator Will Help Us (Isaiah) , speaking with bold words, also said, “A people who were not looking for me found me. I made myself known to a people who never asked for me.”[#10:20 Isaiah 65:1]
21But here is what he has to say about the tribes of Wrestles with Creator (Israel) , “From the rising of the sun to its setting,” says the Great Spirit, “I have reached my hands out with love to people who are stubborn and fail to represent me in a good way.”[#10:21 Isaiah 65:2]
