Good Morning Sunday...
Father Thank You for another BLESSED DAY. Thank You for Your ETERNAL PROMISES. Thank You for giving us so many reasons to REJOICE IN the HOPE that is Your Son YESHUA, JESUS CHRIST. Praise You and Bless You in Yeshua, Jesus Christ’s Name. Amen! - What Are The Prophets Saying? (Nahum) There are so many times I have found myself discouraged, confused, or frustrated, and wasn't sure where to turn in The Bible and find an answer to my woes. Almost without exception, wherever I turned in The Word to find my answer, whether I started in The Gospel or Genesis, I usually ended up at The Prophets. The prophets have not only a wealth of prophecy, amazing stories of triumph, encouragement, and wonderful messages for us all as a Christian Family, but they also contain a wealth of messages for each and everyone of us personally. This is literally The Almighty Father Speaking To Us! Just as Jesus Himself Spoke, so too did The Prophets Speak His Word.🔥 Our Father and Yeshua, Jesus Christ, so loved us that He never stopped sending loyal servants, again and again, to give all of us together, and individually, messages, over and over. Remember the Parable of the Vineyard Owner (Matt 21:33-46)? The Master sent His Servants, which the people beat or killed (Prophets), then The Master Sends His Son (Yeshua, Jesus) thinking the people renting his land will be more amiable... they weren't. In fact, they killed Him thinking that they would receive "the inheritance." Does this story sound familiar or what?! Our Savior Was, Is, and Always Will Be The Smartest Person Of All Time. For this reason...these parables, and The Word of God Spoken Through The Prophets, should be carefully studied. Within this Ancient Wise Parable that Yeshua Spoke, we find The Prophets of God ( The Servants) came before He (The Master) Sent His Son. With that in mind, let us take a look today at what Nahum The Elkoshite, A Prophet of Yahweh (YHWH or God), God Himself, and Our Savior, were trying to relay to "all of us" and "each of us" in today's Scriptures. Prayer: Dear Heavenly Father, we humbly come before you today to receive Your Word and Your Message. As we read passages from Your Servant Nahum, please open our hearts and minds to what you are trying to tell us as a group, and what you are saying to us individually. You are Mighty Father and we know You Have Sent To Us, In Your Word, Messages of Encouragement, Discipline, Reconciliation, Salvation, and Love for Your Children. We thank You! Let us come before You today as Your Children and enjoy Our Daily Bread With You, Abba. We Love You And Praise You Father. In Yeshua, Jesus Christ’s Mighty Name We Pray. Amen! The Word of God: The Book of Nahum, A Prophet of God Almighty, Yahweh, and The Savior of The World, Yeshua Jesus Christ: “The oracle concerning Nineveh— the scroll of the vision of Nahum The Elkoshite: Yahweh is a jealous God and avenging; Yahweh is avenging and full of wrath. Yahweh takes vengeance against His enemies; He rages against His adversaries. Yahweh is slow to anger but great in power; He will certainly not allow the guilty to go unpunished. He marches in storm wind and in gale; storm clouds are the dust of His Feet.” Nahum 1:1-3 LEB “Yahweh Is Good—a refuge in the day of distress; He knows those who take refuge in Him. But with a rushing torrent He will bring Nineveh to an end; He will chase His enemies into darkness.” Nahum 1:7-8 LEB “Yahweh has commanded concerning you: “No more descendants will bear your name. Out of the house of your gods, will I cut off the engraved image and the molten image. I will make your grave, for you are vile.” Behold, on the mountains the feet of Him who brings good news, who publishes peace! Keep your feasts, Judah! Perform your vows, for the wicked one will no more pass through you. He is utterly cut off.” Nahum 1:14-15 WEB “He who dashes in pieces has come up against you. Keep the fortress! Watch The Way! Strengthen your waist! Fortify your power mightily! For Yahweh restores the excellency of Jacob, as the excellency of Israel; for the destroyers have destroyed them, and ruined their vine branches.” Nahum 2:1-2 WEB “Woe to the bloody city! It is all full of lies and robbery. Its victim never departs. The noise of a whip And the noise of rattling wheels, Of galloping horses, Of clattering chariots! Horsemen charge with bright sword and glittering spear. There is a multitude of slain, A great number of bodies, Countless corpses— They stumble over the corpses— Because of the multitude of harlotries of the seductive harlot, The mistress of sorceries, Who sells nations through her harlotries, And families through her sorceries.” Nahum 3:1-4 NKJV “Behold, I am against you,” says The LORD (YHWH, Yahweh) of Hosts; “I will lift your skirts over your face, I will show the nations your nakedness, And the kingdoms your shame. I will cast abominable filth upon you, Make you vile, And make you a spectacle.” Nahum 3:5-6 NKJV “Your shepherds are slumbering, king of Ashur. Your leaders are asleep. Your people are scattered all over the mountains, with no one to round them up. Your wound cannot be healed. Your injury is fatal. Everyone hearing the news about you claps his hands in joy over you. For who has not been overwhelmed by your relentless cruelty?” Nachum (Nam) 3:18-19 CJB

Good Morning Sabbath...
Father Thank You for Your Rest. Thank You for Your Day. Please Father, SIMPLY give us PEACE. In Yeshua Ha'Mashiach, Jesus Christ The Messiah's Name we pray. Amen. - Simply The Best There is something to be said about "simplicity." In The Book of Acts this is what God's Word says about those who were worshipping Our Father in Truth and Spirit.: “So continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they ate their food with gladness and simplicity of heart,” Acts 2:46 As we can see, "keeping things simple" can be a Blessing. It can go hand in hand with gladness, fellowship, and it is easy to be in "one accord" when we have "simplicity of heart.". With that thought in mind, let's keep it "simple" today. What is it that Our Father and Savior requires of us? Simple: “He has shown you, O man, what is good; And what does The LORD (YHWH, Yahweh) require of you But to do justly, To love mercy, And to walk humbly with your God?” Micah 6:8 Here are three more “Simple” verses for your day: “The entrance of Your words gives light; It gives understanding to the simple.” Psalms 119:130 “Yahweh watches over the simple. I was brought low, but he gave me victory.” Psalms 116:6 “But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;” 1 Corinthians 1:27 God Bless My Brothers and Sisters. May you all have a GREAT FATHER Simply YESHUA-FILLED Sabbath Day! Good Morning Friday...
Father Thank You for this NEW DAY. We have GRATEFUL HEARTS for all You Do. Thank You for the extraordinary gifts in our lives and the EXTRAORDINARY LOVE you share with us in YOUR WORD FATHER. Lead us away from false prophets, strengthen us to endure trials, and lead us toward YOUR NARROW GATE. In praise, we pray in YESHUA, JESUS CHRIST's Name. Amen! - A Servant’s Wisdom & The Source Part 4 Wisdom: “A person will never starve who feeds on The Promises of God.” - Anonymous The Source AKA The Word This Wisdom Came From: “Blessed be Yahweh who gave a resting place to His People Israel. According to all that He Promised, not one word has fallen from all of His Promises concerning The Good which He spoke through the hand of Moses His Servant.” 1 Kings 8:56 LEB “Blessed be Yahweh, who has given rest to His People Israel, according to all that He Promised. There has not failed one word of all His Good Promise, which He Promised by Moses His Servant.” 1 Kings 8:56 WEB “Blessed be The LORD (YHWH, Yahweh), who has given rest to His People Israel, according to all that He promised. There has not failed one word of all His good promise, which He promised through His servant Moses.” I Kings 8:56 NKJV “Blessed is that servant whom His Master, when He comes, will find so doing. Assuredly, I say to you that He will make him ruler over all His goods.” Matthew 24:46-47 NKJV “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who Love Him, who have been called according to His Purpose.” Romans 8:28 NIV Prayer: Dear Father God, Thank You for all Your Promises to us, Your Children. There is none like You O’ Father, none so faithful, Loving, kind, merciful, and Holy. Help us to understand Your Instruction, Your Wisdom, and all the ways You want us to prosper as we journey through this temporary life and move towards Your Eternal Life. Without You we have nothing. With You we have everything. Show us Your Ways Father... Show us Your Love. May We Bless You with Our Mouths, May we Glorify You with our thoughts, May we Love You with our actions, and May We Rely On Your Promise, for We Know They Are True. Thank You Father... for everything. In Our King’s Name Yeshua, Jesus Christ, we pray these things to You Father. Amen “But go, tell His disciples and Peter, ‘He is going ahead of you to Galilee; you will see Him there, just as He told you.” Mark 16:7 AMP “Trust in The LORD (YHWH, Yahweh), and do good; Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness.” Psalms 37:3 NKJV “Go in, tell Pharaoh king of Egypt to let the people of Israel go out of his land.” Exodus 6:11 ESV “From this man’s descendants, God brought to Israel A Savior, Jesus, just as He Promised.” Acts of the Apostles 13:23 CEB “No one can take a stand against you; your dread and your fear Yahweh your God will put on the surface of all the land where you tread, just as He promised to you. “See, I am setting before you today a blessing and a curse: The Blessing, if you listen to The Commandments (Instructions) of Yahweh your God that I am commanding you today, and the curse, if you do not listen to The Commandments of Yahweh your God, but rather you turn from The Way that I am commanding you today to go after other gods that you have not known.” Deuteronomy 11:25-28 LEB Good Morning Thursday...
Thank You Father for loving us so much and the blessing of this NEW day. Please continue to fill our HEARTS & MINDS with Your TRUTH & LOVE so we stay focused on Your Guidance & Peace today. In The Name of The King of Kings, Your Son, Our Savior, Yeshua Ha’Mashiach, Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen! A Big Thank You to Brother Alonza for inspiring today’s devotion. May The Grace and Peace of God Our Father and Our Messiah and King Yeshua, Jesus Christ, be with you ALWAYS. - Giving Thanks... No Matter The Situation It may seem strange to us at first when we read what Our Father had His Servant Paul write in Philippians. Paul was in prison, being threatened with death, and is commanding us to Rejoice. What?! Yep. And not only is Paul in what we would think is a "horrible" circumstance, but he tells us to rejoice along with telling us that feeling thankful is "right." This can be a tough lesson to follow. After all, we have grown up in a fallen world where depression, dissension, negative thoughts, rebellion, and excuses are "normal" responses to something such as being put in prison. Can't you imagine getting arrested and being miserable and depressed? I can. It doesn't seem out of place to think we might have all kinds of negative feelings. Nonetheless, Paul tells us in Philippians 1:3-11 that he is thinking of the Brothers and Sisters in Philippi and instead of being wrapped up in depression, excuses, and pity, he can't stop thanking God! In fact, Paul says it is correct for him to feel this way. Let's take a look: “I thank my God whenever I remember you, always in every request of mine on behalf of you all, making my requests with joy, for your partnership in furtherance of the Good News from the first day until now; being confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Yeshua The Messiah. It is even right for me to think this way on behalf of all of you, because I have you in my heart, because both in my bonds and in the defense and confirmation of the Good News, you all are partakers with me of grace. For God is My Witness, how I long after all of you in the tender mercies of Messiah Yeshua. This I pray, that your Love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and all discernment, so that you may approve the things that are excellent, that you may be sincere and without offense to the day of Messiah, being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are through Yeshua the Messiah, to the glory and praise of God.” Philippians 1:3-11 As we read through today's Scripture, notice Our Father's Command to rejoice and be thankful. He doesn't request this. He is not asking us. Our Father gives us a command to rejoice. Why? Because He tells us it is "right." Our Father wants us to obey this because He made the rules and He knows if we but obey, our lives will be filled with His Fruit and His Presence which heals our souls, gives us Peace, and helps us to accept our circumstances with Joy. Now let's take a look at 1 Thessalonians 5:18: “In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Messiah Yeshua toward you.” 1 Thessalonians 5:18 Notice how Our Father Sums Up His Will For Our Lives? "Thankfulness." We all may struggle at times wondering: What is God's Will for our lives? Fortunately we have a Father who doesn't hide things from us, He Tells Us What He Wants. Our Father's Will Is For Us To Be Thankful. Our Father has never promised us money, cars, plush jobs, marriage, kids, an assembly, a house, or anything in life to be exactly as we want. But God Does Promise Us That If We But Stay Thankful In Whatever Situation We Find Ourselves In, He Will Be With Us. This command helps us much more than we may see in the beginning. This command keeps us "with eyes to see" that Yeshua, Jesus Christ Our Savior, Is Who We Must Be Focused On. When we pause in this life and truly think about God Our Father, His Son, His Holy Breath Of Life (Holy Spirit) and All That He Is... there really is no other correct response than to Be Thankful. The Most Loving, Merciful, Kind, and Powerful Being That Will Ever Exist Gives Us The Opportunity To Have Him Right Beside Us, No Matter What We Go Through, Fighting Our Battles, Comforting Our Pain, Giving Us Peace, and Sustaining Us Through Whatever This World Has To Throw At Us. Isn't that enough reason to be Thankful for a lifetime? Paul understood this through and through, and was able to rejoice in persecution. Don't we all want Peace like that? Well, we can... and it all starts with being Thankful. Extra Fuel For The Soul, The Bread of Life, The Word of God: “Therefore, my brothers, beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, stand firm in The Lord in this way, my beloved. I exhort Euodia, and I exhort Syntyche, to think the same way in The Lord. Yes, I beg you also, true partner, help these women, for they labored with me in the Good News with Clement also, and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in The Book of Life. Rejoice in The Lord always! Again I will say, “Rejoice!” Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand. In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Messiah Yeshua. Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are honorable, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report: if there is any virtue and if there is any praise, think about these things. The things which you learned, received, heard, and saw in me: do these things, and The God of Peace will be with you.” Philippians 4:1-9 “Praise The Lord (YHWH, Yahweh)! Give thanks to The Lord (YHWH, Yahweh), for He is Good, for His Loving Kindness endures forever.” Psalms 106:1 God Bless My Brothers and Sisters. May THE THANKS AND PEACE OF JESUS CHRIST BE WITH YOU ALL. Good Morning Wednesday... Father Thank You for this NEW DAY. Help us to be Your LIGHTs in this dark world. Help us to show the kindness, compassion, mercy, and LOVE that You Have Shown Us Through Your Son YESHUA, JESUS CHRIST. We ask this in His Name, The Name Above All Names, Yeshua, Jesus Christ Our Savior. Amen! - Connecting The Jots - God’s Beloved Is Revealed! Part 18 This devotion is dedicated to The One And Only Yeshua, Jesus Christ, The King. Bless Our Father For His Infinite Wisdom Which Is Manifest In Our Savior. He Is The One Who Connects All The Jots...Period. I heard a saying one day that just amazed me. It was so simple, profound, and "on the mark" that it was absolutely seared into my mind from the time I heard it. It goes something like this: The New Testament Is In The Old Testament Concealed; The Old Testament Is In The New Testament Revealed. What a profound, "spot on" statement made with an amazing, short, succinct sentence! Today, let’s put this “pearl of wisdom” to the test and see how Our Father and Savior...Connect The Jots. Parallel Verses From The Old Concealed and The New Revealed (The Book of Mark): 69.) “The beginning of The Gospel of Jesus Christ, The Son of God. As it is written in the Prophets: “Behold, I send My messenger before Your face, Who will prepare Your way before You.” “The voice of one crying in the wilderness: ‘Prepare The Way of The LORD; Make His paths straight.’ ” Mark 1:1-3 NKJV ““Behold, I send My messenger, And he will prepare The Way before Me. And The Lord, whom you seek, Will suddenly come to His temple, Even The Messenger of The Covenant, In whom You delight. Behold, He is coming,” Says The LORD of hosts.” Malachi 3:1 NKJV “The voice of one crying in the wilderness: “Prepare The Way of The LORD; Make straight in the desert A highway for our God. Every valley shall be exalted And every mountain and hill brought low; The crooked places shall be made straight And the rough places smooth; The glory of The LORD shall be revealed, And all flesh shall see it together; For the mouth of The LORD has spoken.” Isaiah 40:3-5 NKJV 70.) “And immediately the leprosy went away from him and he was made clean. And warning him sternly, he sent him away at once. And he said to him, “See to it that you say nothing to anyone, but go, show yourself to the priest and bring for your cleansing the things which Moses commanded, for a testimony to them.” Mark 1:42-44 LEB “Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, “This is the regulation of the person afflicted with a skin disease at the time of his cleansing. And he shall be brought to the priest, and the priest shall go outside the camp, and the priest shall examine him, and if the skin disease’s infection is healed on the afflicted person,” Leviticus 14:1-3 LEB 71.) “How he went into the house of God when Abiathar was the high priest, and ate the sacred loaves set forth [before God], which it is not permitted or lawful for any but the priests to eat, and [how he] also gave [them] to those who were with him?” Mark 2:26 AMPC “And the priest answered David, There is no common bread on hand, but there is hallowed bread–if the young men have kept themselves at least from women. And David told the priest, Truly women have been kept from us in these three days since I came out, and the food bags and utensils of the young men are clean, and although the bread will be used in a secular way, it will be set apart in the clean bags. So the priest gave him holy bread, for there was no bread there but the showbread which was taken from before the Lord to put hot bread in its place the day when it was taken away.” 1 Samuel 21:4-6 AMPC 72.) “so that they may be always looking but never seeing; always listening but never understanding. Otherwise, they might turn and be forgiven!”” Mark (Mrk) 4:12 CJB “He said, “Go and tell this people: ‘Yes, you hear, but you don’t understand. You certainly see, but you don’t get the point!’ “Make the heart of this people [sluggish with] fat, stop up their ears, and shut their eyes. Otherwise, seeing with their eyes, and hearing with their ears, then understanding with their hearts, they might repent and be healed!” Yesha 'yahu (Isa) 6:9-10 CJB Our Father Is AMAZING. Bless Him, Praise Him, and Let Him Connect The Jots For You!
“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking beautiful pearls, who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had and bought it. “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a dragnet that was cast into the sea and gathered some of every kind, which, when it was full, they drew to shore; and they sat down and gathered the good into vessels, but threw the bad away. So it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come forth, separate the wicked from among the just, and cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.” Jesus said to them, “Have you understood all these things?” They said to Him, “Yes, Lord.” Matthew 13:45-51 Good Morning Tuesday...
Father, please help us to show GRACE to others today. Let our words be KIND and my actions be HELPFUL. Please help us to not respond selfishly, instead STRENGTHEN us to respond with LOVE. In Yeshua Ha’Mashiach, Jesus Christ’s Name we pray. Amen! - A Servant’s Wisdom & The Source Part 3 Wisdom: “The point of having an open mind, like having an open mouth, is to close it on something solid.” - G. K. Chesterton The Source AKA The Word This Wisdom Came From: “This Book of Instruction must not depart from your mouth; you are to recite it day and night so that you may carefully observe everything written in it. For then you will prosper and succeed in whatever you do.” Joshua 1:8 HCSB “Do not let this Book of The Torah depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you guard to do according to all that is written in it. For then you shall make your way prosperous, and act wisely.” Yehoshua (Joshua) 1:8 TS2009 “This Book of The Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.” Joshua 1:8 NKJV “and having given thanks, He broke it and said, “Take, eat, this is My body which is broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me.” 1 Corinthians 11:24 “Jesus replied, I Am The Bread of Life. He who comes to Me will never be hungry, and he who believes in and cleaves to and trusts in and relies on Me will never thirst any more (at any time).” John 6:35 AMPC Prayer: Dear Father God, please help to strengthen us, and to listen with open hearts, in the things you are teaching us through Your Word. Help us to understand Your Instruction and all the ways You want us to prosper while in this temporary dwelling. Without You we have nothing. With You we have everything. Show us Your Ways Father... Show us Your Love. May we Bless You with Our Mouths, May we Glorify You with our thoughts, and May we Love You with our actions. Thank You Father... for everything. In Our King’s Name Yeshua, Jesus Christ, we pray these things to You Father. Amen “If you Love Me, keep My Commands.” John 14:15 “And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever— the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you. I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.” John 14:16-18 “In fact, this is Love for God: to keep His Commands (Instructions). And His Commands (Instructions) are not burdensome,” 1 John 5:3 “Everyone who does evil hates The Light, and will not come into The Light for fear that their deeds will be exposed. But whoever lives by The Truth comes into The Light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God.” John 3:20-21 “The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have Life, and that they may have it more abundantly.” John 10:10 Good Morning Morning...
Thank You Father for the blessing of this NEW day and week. Please continue to fill our HEARTs & MINDs with Your TRUTH & LOVE so we stay FOCUSED on The TRUTH of: “Come to Me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest (Matthew 11:28)" TODAY! In Yeshua, Jesus Christ’s Name we pray. Amen. - The Importance of Hope Hope. Hope is a very important subject, especially when looking into the subject of Salvation. Hope can provide us with many wonderful thoughts, and Hope can also be a very powerful motivator. When we Love something, we foster our attention on that "something." In addition to fostering our attention on what we Love, we Hope to get something from whomever or whatever it is we Love. Placing our Hope in something we Love will guide us in varying directions. Hope can influence us to "take action," or not, depending on what it is in which we Hope. When we Hope for something, or Hope not for something to happen, we will most times take actions to lead either situation in that direction of our Hope. An example would be us as believers; Our Hope is in Yeshua, Jesus Christ, and so we are motivated to do things that would please Him and Our Father. Hope can motivate us to action or motivate us to abandon action. Hope is powerful. What if what we Hope for is beyond our control? Do we still pray for what it is that we are Hoping for? Of course, everyday! Can you see the power in that? We Hope for something, we have no power whatsoever to acquire this thing in which we Hope for, but we still pray fervently for it. Many times we will even Actively Hope for things without realizing it, and Hope can be a large part, if not all of the reason, we bend and turn particular directions during Life. This happens because our Hope Is Strong. At a minimum, we will desire, worry, or analyze something that we Hope for until we are comfortable that it is resolved. That’s why we as believers and followers of Jesus Christ can have peace... because our Hope is sure. The things we place our Hope in are in constant action in our minds, and this is an important reason we should be aware and conscious of what it is in which we have Hope. Hope as defined by Meriam Webster is: desire accompanied by expectation of or belief in fulfillment. Hope can be active. Hope can be passive. Hope can be for good. Hope can be for evil. We see, Hope is a very important element of our Faith. As a matter of fact, Our Father and Savior tell us that along with Faith and Love, that Hope is one of the most important, eternal values we can have. Throughout all of eternity there will never be a time when our Hope is not in something. Beginning to see how important our Hope is? I Hope So. Our Hope, The Word of God, Yeshua, Jesus Christ, The Lion of The Tribe of Judah: “But if we HOPE for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance.” Romans 8:25 “I wait for The LORD (Yahweh), my soul waits, And in His Word (Yeshua) I do HOPE.” Psalms 130:5 “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says The LORD (Yahweh), thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a HOPE.” Jeremiah 29:11 “This HOPE we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which enters the Presence behind the veil, where The Forerunner has entered for us, even Jesus, having become High Priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.” Hebrews 6:19-20 “Now HOPE does not disappoint, because the Love of God has been poured out in our hearts by The Holy Spirit who was given to us.” Romans 5:5 “Blessed be The God and Father of Our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living HOPE through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,” I Peter 1:3 “And now abide Faith, HOPE, Love, these three; but the greatest of these is Love.” I Corinthians 13:13 Good Morning Sunday...
Father thank You for this NEW day. As You walk with us today, keep us focused on Your TRUTHS, and continue to fill our HEARTS & MINDS with Your PEACE, so there's no room for fear or doubt.

Good Morning Sabbath...
Father Thank You for this NEW Day, Your Day. Please grant us TRUTH, WISDOM, DISCERNMENT, UNDERSTANDING, and KNOWLEDGE. Father we ask this so that we will not be conformed to this world, but TRANSFORMED by the renewing of our MINDS. In YESHUA, JESUS CHRIST'S Name. Amen. - An Exercise In Connecting With God Our Father: Joy #2 Step 1 - Prayer (Begin With Focus And Openness Towards God) Prayer: Dear Father God, please connect with us here as we seek in Your Word. Help us to show our Faith. Help us to find Your Peace and JOY. Be with us. Thank You. In Yeshua, Jesus's Name we pray. Amen Step 2 - Read Read the Scripture slowly. Be aware of any interesting words, phrases, or sentences. Read over The Scripture a second Time. Read: “Consider it all JOY, my brothers, whenever you encounter various trials, because you know that the testing of your faith produces endurance. And let endurance have its perfect effect, so that you may be mature and complete, lacking in nothing.” James 1:2-4 “If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commandments and remain in his love. I have spoken these things to you in order that my JOY may be in you, and your joy may be made complete. This is my commandment: that you love one another just as I have loved you.” John 15:10-12 “fixing our eyes on Jesus, the originator and perfecter of faith, who for the JOY that was set before him endured the cross, disregarding the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.” Hebrews 12:2 “whom, although you have not seen, you love; in whom now you believe, although you do not see him, and you rejoice greatly with JOY inexpressible and full of glory,” 1 Peter 1:8 “For the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and JOY in the Holy Spirit.” Romans 14:17 “Serve Yahweh with JOY; come into his presence with exultation.” Psalms 100:2 “And the meek have JOY after JOY in Yahweh, and the needy of the people shall rejoice in the holy one of Israel.” Isaiah 29:19 Step 3 - Reflect Reflect on what stands out to you as you read. What is God trying to tell you? Step 4 - Respond Respond to The Word you just read. Talk to Your Father about how you feel. Tell Him what is on your mind. Tell him what is on your heart. As you go through your day today keep your eyes open to what you read, what you uncovered, or what you spoke to God about. You may find Him showing up in places you didn't expect. God Bless Everyone. May The God Of All Good Things Give each and everyone of you PEACE and JOY. Happy Sabbath and Shabbat Shalom Everybody! Good Morning Friday......
Father thank You for this NEW DAY! As we rise to meet this new day, please let us be filled with Your Spirit. Wherever we go, let us SPREAD LOVE, JOY, PEACE, GOODNESS, and FAITHFULNESS. Let us desire to become more like You and to worship You IN ALL WE DO. Help us desire these things so much more than the sin that entices us. In Yeshua, Jesus Christ's Name we pray. Amen. - He Is With Us... ALWAYS: A Message For The Discouraged And Hurting Maybe you are dealing with an extremely stressful time in your life. Maybe you feel as if you "can't go on." You are not alone my friend. If you need to find people to relate to... just look in The Bible. If you take a look around The Book of Life, you WILL find someone going through what you are right now. While we do live in a crazy world, I am willing to bet that The Word of God Has The CRAZIEST Stories you have ever read...and they are all TRUTH. Knowing Truth helps us to have hope, patience, peace, and contentment. Think about this: When you know The Truth about how long a car ride will be, you don't worry about the travel time. If you know you have a 13 hour drive, it would be silly to start stressing out and wondering if you were going to get there after the first hour of driving. Right? That's because knowing The Truth gives us the ability to not "wonder" about where we're going. We don't have to have anxiety about the same things as when we don't know The Truth. Once we find The Truth, our attention turns to where The TRUTH Leads Us. If The Truth LEADS Us, we are always in A VERY GOOD RIGHT HAND...THE STRONG HAND OF GOD HIMSELF...THE LION OF THE TRIBE OF JUDAH! Let's take The Prophet Elijah for an example. Here is one of the Great Prophets of God. We see him in 1 Kings, having just "punked," embarrassed , and decimated the prophets of baal. Elijah had just won a great spiritual battle and you think things would be great, but we find him on the run, "down in the dumps," and questioning whether living is "worth it." Let's take a look: “And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, also how he had executed all the prophets with the sword. Then Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, “So let the gods do to me, and more also, if I do not make your life as the life of one of them by tomorrow about this time.” And when he saw that, he arose and ran for his life, and went to Beersheba, which belongs to Judah, and left his servant there. But he himself went a day’s journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a broom tree. And he prayed that he might die, and said, “It is enough! Now, LORD (Yahweh), take my life, for I am no better than my fathers!” Then as he lay and slept under a broom tree, suddenly an angel touched him, and said to him, “Arise and eat.” Then he looked, and there by his head was a cake baked on coals, and a jar of water. So he ate and drank, and lay down again.” I Kings 19:1-6 Elijah was "spent." He had reached "rock bottom." He had given all he could and was stressed, tired, and felt like he "couldn't go on." Maybe you can relate. Maybe that is exactly how you feel and are on the verge of "giving up." Maybe you are at the "I'm done, I'm just done" stage, or you just "have had enough." Tired of the pressures, tired of the hassles, and wanting to "exit left," you're strength, whether physical, spiritual, or both, is gone. I understand, I think we have all been there at one time or another. But,... did you notice what happened when Elijah was "at the end of his rope?" That's when Our Father Stepped In! Being stressed, feeling like you can't go on, and being out of strength doesn't have to be such a horrible and hopeless place. If we will but look to Our Father in Heaven and His Son. God Almighty and His Word, Yeshua, Jesus Christ, are "standing by" just waiting for you to "Call to" Him. Our God Is Mighty, He Is Prepared To Meet You in your moment of need, and "He Is With You Always, Even Unto The End Of The Age!" Can I get a witness?! Yes, here are a cloud of them, straight from The Book of Life, aka The Word of God, aka The Word of Truth: The Bread of Life, Encouragement, Hope, and Peace For The Discouraged: Call To Him. You Might Be Surprised At What He Shows You 😎: “Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.” Jeremiah 33:3 Our Father made sure Elijah was "set" for 40 Days and 40 Nights when he cried out, then The Word Of The Lord (Yeshua) Came Yo Him: “And The Angel of The LORD (YHWH, Yahweh) came back the second time, and touched him, and said, “Arise and eat, because the journey is too great for you.” So he arose, and ate and drank; and he went in the strength of that food forty days and forty nights as far as Horeb, the mountain of God. And there he went into a cave, and spent the night in that place; and behold, The Word of The LORD (YHWH, Yahweh) came to him, and He said to him, “What are you doing here, Elijah?” I Kings 19:7-9 Did you notice who came to Elijah in this passage? It was The Word of The LORD (Yahweh). Who is The Word? 😎 That’s Right! Yeshua came! And... He will come for you and I in our moment of need. We need only repent and ask. Remember, He Is With Us ALWAYS. Our Father And His Son, Yahweh Yeshua Ha'Mashiach, Are With Us Always...ALWAYS. He Never Grows Tired. He Never Falls Down. He Never Makes Mistakes. And He Is With Us... ALWAYS: “And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.” Matthew 28:18-20 ALWAYS: “Do not be afraid of them, for I AM WITH YOU to deliver you,” declares Yahweh.” Jeremiah 1:8 “Nevertheless, I AM ALWAYS WITH YOU; you hold MY RIGHY HAND” Psalms 73:23 “Then Haggai, The LORD’s (Yahweh’s) messenger, spoke The LORD’s (Yahweh’s) message to the people, saying, “I AM WITH YOU, says The LORD (Yahweh).” Haggai 1:13 “And Haggai the messenger of Yahweh spoke to the people with the message of Yahweh, saying, “ ‘I AM WITH YOU’ declares Yahweh.” Haggai 1:13 “But Yahweh is with me like a powerful warrior. Therefore my persecutors will stumble and will not prevail. They will be very ashamed, for they will not achieve success. Their everlasting insult will not be forgotten. Yet, O Yahweh of hosts, who tests the righteous, who sees the heart and the mind, let me see your retribution upon them, for to you I have revealed my legal case.” Jeremiah 20:11-12 |
