Good Morning Thursday...
Father thank You for this new day. As You Walk with us today, please keep us focused on YOUR TRUTH. Please continue to fill OUR HEARTS & MINDS with YOUR PEACE and straighten the paths before us. In YESHUA, Jesus Christ's Glorious Name. Amen - He Is...Part 7 Our Father Is God. He Wants Us To Know Who He Is. He Shows His Character, Wisdom, Omnipotence, Power, Mercy, Justice, Omniscience, and Glory All Through His Word... Just For Us. His Greatest Gift...He Sent His Son So We Could Get To Know Him Better. He Let Him Be Sacrificed So We Would Know How Much He Loves Us. He Is A King. He Is The Creator. He Is Our Reason For Being. Today, let's go through The Bible and see just who He Says He Is. When He Tells Us Who He Is we can grow, understand Him more clearly, draw closer, and try to imitate Him and His Perfect Character better. As we go through in Scripture searching out His Character and Names, I encourage you to let Him Speak to you. Listen to The God of All Creation, Our Heavenly Father, talk to you and tell you exactly what He Wants To Do For you. Let's jump right in and listen to Him Tell Us Who...HE IS. “But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that HE IS, and that HE IS a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.” Hebrews 11:6 Our Father's Nature Never Changes. HE IS, WAS, AND WILL ALWAYS BE. He Is Who He Is. That's what He Told Moses. I Am Who I Am. That's what His Name means, YAHWEH, I Am Who I Am. His Name Means...HE IS! He Has Come! He Is... Yeshua, Jesus, Salvation He Is... My Well-Beloved, A Bundle Of Myrrh; “A Bundle of Myrrh Is My Well-Beloved unto me; he shall lie all night betwixt my breasts.” Song of Solomon 1:13 KJV He Is... A Cluster of Henna Blooms; “My Beloved Is To Me A Cluster of Henna Blooms In The Vineyards of Ěn Geḏi.” Song of Solomon 1:14 TS2009 He Is... The Rose of Sharon, The Lilly of The Valleys; “I Am The Rose of Sharon, and The Lily of The Valleys.” Song of Solomon 2:1 NKJV He Is... The Chiefest Among Ten Thousand; “My Beloved Is White and Ruddy, The Chiefest Among Ten Thousand.” Song of Solomon 5:10 KJV He Is... His Countenance Is As Lebanon; “His Legs Are As Pillars of Marble, Set Upon Sockets of Fine Gold: His Countenance Is As Lebanon, Excellent As The Cedars.” Song of Solomon 5:15 KJV He Is... Yea, He Is Altogether Lovely, My Beloved and My Friend; “His Mouth Is Most Sweet: Yea, He Is Altogether Lovely. This Is My Beloved, and This Is My Friend, O daughters of Jerusalem.” Song of Solomon 5:16 KJV He Is... Holy, Holy, Holy; “And one cried to another and said: “Holy, Holy, Holy Is The LORD of Hosts; The whole earth is full of His Glory!” Isaiah 6:3 NKJV “And one cried to another and said, “Set-Apart, Set-Apart, Set-Apart Is יהוה (YHWH/YAHWEH) of Hosts; all the earth is filled with His Esteem!” Yeshayah (Isaiah) 6:3 TS2009 “They were crying out to each other, “More Holy Than The Holiest Holiness Is ADONAI - Tzva’ot (Yahweh/YHWH of Hosts)! The whole earth is filled with His Glory!” Yesha 'yahu (Isa) 6:3 CJB To Be Continued...

Good Morning Wednesday...
Father thank You for this new day. Thank You for giving us Brothers and Sisters to share in this wonderful journey back to You. Please use us to help the hurting, the sick, the fatherless, and the weak. Help us to show Your Love in this dark world, because we know Love covers a multitude of sins. - Connecting The Jots - God’s Beloved Is Revealed! Part 4 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 the other day that just blew me away. It was so simple, profound, and Truthful 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,Truthful 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 (Matthew): 13.) “You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.” Matthew 5:27-28 “You shall not commit adultery.” Exodus 20:14 “You shall not commit adultery.” Deuteronomy 5:18 14.) “Furthermore it has been said, ‘Whoever divorces his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce.’ But I say to you that whoever divorces his wife for any reason except sexual immorality causes her to commit adultery; and whoever marries a woman who is divorced commits adultery.” Matthew 5:31-32 “When a man takes a wife and marries her, and it happens that she finds no favor in his eyes because he has found some uncleanness in her, and he writes her a certificate of divorce, puts it in her hand, and sends her out of his house,” Deuteronomy 24:1 15.) “Again you have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not swear falsely, but shall perform your oaths to The LORD (YHWH/Yahweh).’ But I say to you, do not swear at all: neither by heaven, for it is God’s Throne; nor by the earth, for it is His Footstool; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of The Great King. Nor shall you swear by your head, because you cannot make one hair white or black. But let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No,’ ‘No.’ For whatever is more than these is from the evil one.” Matthew 5:33-37 “You shall not take the name of The LORD (YHWH/Yahweh) your God in vain, for The LORD (YHWH/Yahweh) will not hold him guiltless who takes His Name in vain.” Exodus 20:7 “And you shall not swear by My Name falsely, nor shall you profane The Name of Your God: I AM The LORD (YHWH/YAHWEH).” Leviticus 19:12 16.) “You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’ But I tell you not to resist an evil person. But whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also.” Matthew 5:38-39 “But if any harm follows, then you shall give life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, burn for burn, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.” Exodus 21:23-25 “‘If a man causes disfigurement of his neighbor, as he has done, so shall it be done to him— fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; as he has caused disfigurement of a man, so shall it be done to him.” Leviticus 24:19-20 “Your eye shall not pity: life shall be for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.” Deuteronomy 19:21 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 Thank You for this NEW 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. - Consider This... Part 2 “Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Christ Jesus,” Hebrews 3:1 Consider Yeshua, Jesus Christ. What is it Paul is asking us to do? Consider. Let's take a look at the definition of consider according to merriam-webster: Consider - 1 : to think about carefully: such as a : to think of especially with regard to taking some action is considering you for the job considered moving to the city b : to take into account The defendant's age must be considered. 2 : to regard or treat in an attentive or kindly way He considered her every wish. 3 : to gaze on steadily or reflectively The old gentleman considered him attentively. — Edith Wharton 4 : to come to judge or classify consider thrift essential 5 : REGARD His works are well considered abroad. 6 : SUPPOSE I consider it's best that he left when he did. Paul is asking us to consider Yeshua, Jesus Christ. He explains He Is Our High Priest and THE Apostle. Consider that. Consider That Yeshua, Jesus Christ, Died So You Can Live. Consider That He Was Never Wrong... About Anything. Consider How Much He Loves You To Come Down From Heaven, Deal With This Evil World, and Make A Way For You To Get Back To Him. When We Return To Him On That Final Day, There Will Be No Sickness, Crying, or Death. He Never Had To Do That, Leave His Perfect Home, but He Did... Because He Loves You. Consider that. Consider That He Came The 1st Time As A Lamb, But The Next Time He Comes... He Is Coming As A Lion. Consider That We Don't Always Understand Him At First, because We Have Little Understanding When We First "Wake Up." Consider that later we will understand. Consider That Yeshua, Jesus, His Name, Means Salvation. Consider That After 2000 Years Of Opposition, No One Has Been Able To Silence Him. Not Even Death Itself! 😃🙌🔥 What is it that Our Father Is Calling You to consider? His Love? His Sacrifice? His Perfect Example? His Death? His Resurrection? His Divinity? May we all take some time to CONSIDER the simple yet profound statement Our Father used Paul to write in Hebrews. May we all Let Our Father and Our Savior reveal to each one of us how we need to Consider Him. Prayer: YHWH, Our Father Yahweh Who Is In Heaven, Thank You For Your Beloved and Perfect Son. Thank You For All The Endless, Fruitful, Amazing, and Mysterious Things You Have Given Us To Consider About Your Son Yeshua Ha'Mashiach, Jesus Christ Our Savior. Almighty Father, Reveal to each and every one of us what we need to hear in Your Word about Your Son. Bless You Father. Bless Your Perfect Son Jesus. We Love You and Thank You Eternally For Your Perfect Word and Gift. In Yeshua, Jesus Christ Name We Pray. Amen! Something To Consider, The Word of God: “Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Christ Jesus,” Hebrews 3:1 “But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed.” Isaiah 53:5 “who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness— by whose stripes you were healed.” I Peter 2:24 “You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You, Because he trusts in You.” Isaiah 26:3 “till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ;” Ephesians 4:13 “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.” John 3:16-17 “And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.” Revelation 21:4 “But one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep. Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has prevailed to open the scroll and to loose its seven seals.” And I looked, and behold, in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as though it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent out into all the earth. Then He came and took the scroll out of the right hand of Him who sat on the throne.” Revelation 5:5-7 “Jesus replied, “You do not realize now what I am doing, but later you will understand.” John 13:7 “knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over Him.” Romans 6:9 “Surely God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid. The Lord, The Lord Himself, is my strength and my defense; he has become my Salvation.” Isaiah 12:2 “We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.” 2 Corinthians 4:8-9 Good Morning Monday......
Father thank You for this NEW day. Please continue to fill our HEARTS & MINDS with Your LOVE & TRUTH, and TRANSFORM our ordinary day into an extraordinary day. Shine Your Light in us, through us, and over us. May we make a difference in this world, for Your Glory and Purposes TODAY! - Belief. Example. Glory. BELIEF: In The Scriptures we are told many times to "Believe" in God Our Father and Our Savior. Why? Because when we believe what Our Father and Savior Tell Us, and then we act upon it, we are following THE WAY He wants us to go... His Way. Let's get a witness on this from The First Hebrew, Abraham, as written by Our Father through Moses: “Then He brought him outside and said, “Look now toward heaven, and count the stars if you are able to number them.” And He said to him, “So shall your descendants be.” And he believed in The LORD (YHWH/Yahweh), and He accounted it to him for righteousness.” Genesis 15:5-6 Abraham believed and it was accounted to him for righteousness. The next thing that happens in The Scriptures is Our Father giving Abraham instructions. He follows THE WAY and guess who shows up? I won't tell you. You will have to go and read, but here's a clue: The Burning Pot and Flaming Torch... Is Our Messiah. Oops, just gave it away. 😊 What happens next? Our Father makes Eternal Promises to Abraham. The same Promises that are being fulfilled today. 😎🙌🔥 Example: Once we believe, it is important for us to take steps to follow The Example given to us of The Character of Our Savior, which in turn, is The Character of Our Father. It won't happen all at once, but it is a beautiful and heart warming thing when we realize that we are acting in accordance with Our Father, especially when we realize there has been a change in us that has caused us to act more godly than in the times before we believed in Our Savior and Father. Let's take a look in The Scriptures where Paul is telling those he is writing to, to follow his example. Why would he tell others to follow his example? Because he is following The Example, with the Power of Yeshua, Jesus Christ, and The Holy Spirit, of Our Father's Character. Let us see: “Brethren, join in following my example, and note those who so walk, as you have us for a pattern. For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: whose end is destruction, whose god is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame— who set their mind on earthly things. For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, The Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform our lowly body that it may be conformed to His Glorious Body, according to the working by which He Is Able Even To Subdue All Things To Himself.” Philippians 3:17-21 GLORY: Once we Believe, then we follow The Example of Our Savior and King, this is when we are blessed to see The Glory of God Almighty. It never fails. It may not look like we think, it may not be with whom we thought it would be, but nonetheless... His Glory Comes. It maybe in someone's Life we have touched, it may be in a prayer that is answered, and it may be in His Peace while we wait in patience for Our Savior to return. However it comes, the fact is...His Glory Comes. Let's take a look in The Scriptures where Peter, James, and John, having Believed and Followed The Example, are allowed to see, in physical form, a small piece of The Glory of God Almighty. A picture of things to come 🙌🔥. Let's turn to The Gospel of Luke: “Now it came to pass, about eight days after these sayings, that He took Peter, John, and James and went up on the mountain to pray. As He prayed, the appearance of His face was altered, and His robe became white and glistening. And behold, two men talked with Him, who were Moses and Elijah, who appeared in glory and spoke of His decease which He was about to accomplish at Jerusalem. But Peter and those with him were heavy with sleep; and when they were fully awake, they saw His glory and the two men who stood with Him. Then it happened, as they were parting from Him, that Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it is good for us to be here; and let us make three tabernacles: one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah”—not knowing what he said. While he was saying this, a cloud came and overshadowed them; and they were fearful as they entered the cloud. And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is My Beloved Son. Hear Him!” When the voice had ceased, Jesus was found alone. But they kept quiet, and told no one in those days any of the things they had seen.” Luke 9:28-36 Belief, Example, and Glory. This seems to be an Eternal Pattern we see over and over in Our Father's Word. He Loves Obedience. He Loves Us, and Our Fellow Brothers and Sisters, Loving Him Through His Example. And He Loves Revealing His Glory To Us. With that said, let's conclude this devotion with what may be the most important Instruction from Our Father in all of The Scriptures we have looked at today: “And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is My Beloved Son. Hear Him!” Luke 9:35 May we all strive to Hear Yeshua, Jesus Christ, The Word of God, Follow His Example, and then receive the privilege of "seeing" His Glory! May Our Father and Savior Bless Each and Every One of You On The Other Side of This Screen. In Yeshua, Jesus Christ's Name, this I pray. Amen! Good Morning Sunday.......
Father thank You for this NEW DAY. We THANK YOU for continuing YOUR GOOD WORKS yesterday, today, and forevermore. May we continually thank You for Your Salvation YESHUA, JESUS, and being OUR GOD!!! -It Is Good To Spread Truth. It Is Not Good To Beat People With That Truth. Loving Kindness and Respect of All Living Things Is THE WAY. It is prudent for us all to understand that we should be showing ALL Life and ALL people respect and Love. Not just people who think like we think, but also those who disagree. This is what makes us set-apart. With each encounter we have with others, especially with those who do not believe as we do, we have a chance almost each and every time to show those people The Light of Our Savior. “Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.”” John 8:12 NKJV Now, it is true that we no longer walk in darkness, and this is exactly why we should be shining His Light in this dark world. Is this not what Our Messiah did? We as believers clearly disagree with many activities and actions in our society, but in no way does this give us permission to treat anyone with disrespect. We are not talking about self defense. We are not talking about defending the fatherless, widows, or others. We are talking about simple, plain, polite, and hospitable respect. It is our job as followers of Yeshua, Jesus Christ to be set-apart, holy, and different from the rest of the world. Why? Because Our Savior has overcome the world, set us free, and we no longer have to abide in the chaos that is this world. Remember, when we judge, in unrighteousness or pride, we will have to answer for this. Let's take a look in The Word of Truth: “So then each of us shall give account of himself to God. Therefore let us not judge one another anymore, but rather resolve this, not to put a stumbling block or a cause to fall in our brother’s way.” Romans 14:12-13 NKJV “You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. They are of the world. Therefore they speak as of the world, and the world hears them. We are of God. He who knows God hears us; he who is not of God does not hear us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.” I John 4:4-6 NKJV We read here in The Word that we should know that those who know God will hear us. For those who don't know The Living God... we should deeply want them to know Our Father and Savior Jesus Christ. We also read here in The Word that we will have to give account for the things we say and do. We must remember that our attitudes, action, and behaviors will be settled with The Almighty God of All Things one day soon. That in itself should give us all reason to think twice about how we treat others... whether they believe as we do or not. The people with whom we disagree are not accountable to us... they will be accountable to God Himself. We can bring no justice - God Brings Justice Himself. Let's check-in with God's Word on this: “For God will bring every work into judgment, Including every secret thing, Whether good or evil.” Ecclesiastes 12:14 NKJV “And shall God not avenge His own elect who cry out day and night to Him, though He bears long with them? I tell you that He will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?”” Luke 18:7-8 NKJV “Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord. Therefore “If your enemy is hungry, feed him; If he is thirsty, give him a drink; For in so doing you will heap coals of fire on his head.” Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.” Romans 12:19-21 NKJV With all this being looked at, we must also know that it isn't judgmental to tell Truth to people. If we see someone doing things or behaving in a way The Bible says is wrong, it is ok to tell them it is wrong. The key is to "season your words with salt (Colossians 4:6) so that you "may know how to answer each one." If we don't do this and try to beat people up with Truth... How will we grow The Kingdom of God? I am sure we have all seen people who call themselves "Christians", but treat people rudely and don't seem to care about anyone except themselves and what "they have figured out." This is not The Way. We can be confident in Christ that we are correct about an issue, but if we act distastefully, rude, or judgmental... we are wrong. Remember, Yeshua Our Savior, Jesus Christ, Died and Rose For Us All. If we aren't telling Truth to others in Love... we are wrong and no more than "clanging symbols (1 Corinthians 13:1)." As we go through our day, week, month, and year, may we all make a concerted effort to tell others The Truth and still hold onto our peace. May we learn how to disagree without being disagreeable. May we all learn how to treat others as we would want to be treated. And if we do... we will see The Fruit of Jesus Christ blossoming from our lives. Think about it, who is it that we claim as Our King? The Prince of Peace, The Lord of Lords, The Savior of The Whole World, and The Only Perfect Person To Ever Walk The Face of This Earth. If we really take a look at The Life of The Prince of Peace, how many times do we see Him acting nasty to others? We don't. “Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” John 14:27 NKJV “So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.” John 8:7 KJV God Bless Everyone and Have a Great God-Filled Week. 😃🙌🔥 Good Morning Sabbath...
Father thank you for this new day. Your Day. We ask for Your Peaceful Rest. May we abide in You and refill our lamps with oil. As we look at The Words of Your Son, please give us wisdom. We ask this so we may show Your Glory. In Yeshua, Jesus Christ's Name. Amen. - You Are... (Part 1) We have been going through who Our Father Is and who Our Savior Is in the devotion series "He Is...." Today, lets take a look at who Our Father Tells Us We Are To Him. Our Father Has An Undying Love For You. His Mercies Endure Forever, Especially For Those Who Love Him. As we go through The Scriptures today, please know, no one can Love you like The One True and Living God, Our Father. He invites us to know how special we are to Him, how much He Loves Us, and He Expresses This Love Everywhere in His Word. If you are having a tough time, if you are struggling with a problem, or if you just need a little "pick me up" of encouragement from Our Father, He Is Always There For You... ALWAYS. He Tells Each and Every One of Us How Much We Mean To Him. He Is... The Almighty God and Father and He Tells You that... YOU ARE...: You Are...Beautiful: “So the King will greatly desire your beauty; Because He is your Lord, worship Him.” Psalms 45:11 You Are...Unique: “For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother’s womb.” Psalms 139:13 You Are...Loved: “The LORD has appeared of old to me, saying: “Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love; Therefore with lovingkindness I have drawn you.” Jeremiah 31:3 You Are...Special: “For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.” Ephesians 2:10 You Are...His: “But now, thus says the LORD, who created you, O Jacob, And He who formed you, O Israel: “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; You are Mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, Nor shall the flame scorch you. For I am the LORD your God, The Holy One of Israel, your Savior; I gave Egypt for your ransom, Ethiopia and Seba in your place. Since you were precious in My sight, You have been honored, And I have loved you; Therefore I will give men for you, And people for your life. Fear not, for I am with you; I will bring your descendants from the east, And gather you from the west;” Isaiah 43:1-5 May The God Of All Good Things Bless You All! Have a Wonderful, Amazing, God-Filled Weekend. May we all embrace The Fullness of Our Father's Love and spread His Love Everywhere We Go. We ask this in Our Mighty Savior's Name, Yeshua, Jesus Christ. Amen! Good Morning Friday ...
Father thank You for this NEW day. Please continue to fill our HEARTs & MINDs with your LOVE & TRUTH and TRANSFORM our ordinary day into an extraordinary day TODAY! - The Great Revelation: Unfolding Eternity Today (13) When we take a hard look at what is going on in the world today, it can be easy to see some of the atrocities and think that evil is winning. Fortunately for us, we walk by Faith and not by sight. When we watch the news and see the middle east in turmoil, when we hear of wars and rumors of wars, when we see the abominable things happening in this world that it isn't even appropriate to mention, it is important for us to not doubt Our Father's Promises. Yeshua, Jesus Christ, told us that "it is finished (John 19:30)." Our triumph is guaranteed with a 100% guarantee. We have Our Father's Word on it. 😃🙌🔥 There is another place in Scripture where Our Savior declares that "It is done (Revelation 16:7)." After Our Savior Triumphant Resurrection He appears to The Apostle John and declares it for us. 2000 years have passed and His Words Are Still Being Heard Across The World. The fact that the most oppressed religion, the most oppressed Book, and the most controversial person in history is still around in His Fullness should give us amazing encouragement. If the enemy or "the spiritual wickedness in high places (Ephesians 6:12)" could snuff out God's Word, Life, Testimony, or Truth, you can bet he would have already done so. This gives us a reason to celebrate. There will be no "fat lady" singing. There will be no buzzer and game over. What there will be, has been, and was, is Our Faithful and Mighty Messiah declaring to the whole world "It Is Done." Yeshua, Jesus Christ, has won the victory already. He has already defeated the enemy. His Words Are Truth, Life, and Stamped With The Guarantee of The One True and Living God... Our Father in Heaven. The enemy is a defeated enemy. While the battle of Armageddon has not yet been fought, we already know the outcome. The King Tells Us "It Is Done!" May none of us who are redeemed by The Blood of Yeshua, Jesus Christ, ever feel overwhelming despair or begin to panic at what we see happening in this world, for we know the outcome and we know Our Savior Has Claimed The Victory For Eternity. Our King, Messiah, and Teacher Will Return "like a thief in the night (1Thessalonians 5:2)." When we least expect Him, when the enemy thinks he has accomplished something, when most all of the world is in a panic and living in chaos, Our Hero On A White Horse Will Ride In And Save...All His People. Then He Will Teach Us, Feed Us, and Deliver Us From The Cursed Disease Wrought Bodies We Have Now. That is our Hope, Our Faith, and Our Love. The Truth, The Way, and The Light Of All Men Will Come and He Will Deliver! 😃🙌🔥 May we all be vigilant. May we all be prepared. May we all be faithful until that day when Our King Returns and Eliminates Evil. There is one question we must all ask ourselves and be honest about while we wait in Hope for that day... Will we be ready when He Returns? Prayer: Father, please help us when we are broken and discouraged by the evil state of this world. Help us, Your Children, to find Peace in Your Coming Kingdom and Our Faithful King and Messiah. Help us to have Joy among the chaos knowing that You Have Secured An Eternal Victory. Help us to Praise and Rejoice even in the face of evil, that to some, may seem is winning. We know evil doesn't win, we know that You Will Reign Forever and Ever. We thank You, Praise You, and Worship You for Your Kindness, Your Mercy, Your Love, and The Hope You Have Given Us In Your Son, The Lion of The Tribe of Judah, Jesus Christ. We pray these things in His Name, The Name Above All Names, Yeshua, Jesus Christ. Amen! The Great Revelation, The Word of God: “So when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “It is finished!” And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit.” John 19:30 “Then the seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air, and a loud voice came out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, “It is done!” Revelation 16:17 “Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war.” Revelation 19:11 “For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night.” I Thessalonians 5:2 “But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up.” II Peter 3:10 “With my soul I have desired You in the night, Yes, by my spirit within me I will seek You early; For when Your judgments are in the earth, The inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.” Isaiah 26:9 “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” Ephesians 6:12 Good Morning Thursday.......
Father thank You for this NEW day. You have blessed us with another WONDERFUL day to see your WISDOM and TRUTH. May we use this day to show this dark world Your Fruit, Your Light, and Your Glory TODAY!!! - Good, Acceptable, and Perfect When we come to Yeshua, Jesus Our Savior, and wake up to His Unbelievable Love, one of the first things we learn is The Greatest Commandment: Love Our Father and Savior With All Our Heart, Soul, Mind, and Strength. All of Our Father's Instructions follow this instruction. It can be easy to be preoccupied with many things in this world. In fact, the one who runs this place is counting on us being preoccupied with other things. It doesn't matter to him what, just that we have our mind on other things: money, work, love life, relationships, quarrels, bills, sports, entertainment. This is just a very small list of those things the enemy will use to keep us distracted, unfocused on Our Father, full of anxiety, confusion, and without true fulfillment. With so many things being thrown at us and so many other things on our mind, it leaves few places in our heart, soul, mind, and strength to think about Our Father In Heaven. Have you ever started your day off with The Creator of All Things and His Word? If you have, you already know The Blessing. If you haven't I encourage you to do this "One Thing" that is Truly "Needed," and I can make you a promise... it will be "The Good Part" of your day no matter what. Let's take a look at what Yeshua Our Savior has to say about the "One Thing Needed, The Good Part": “Now it happened as they went that He entered a certain village; and a certain woman named Martha welcomed Him into her house. And she had a sister called Mary, who also sat at Jesus’ feet and heard His word. But Martha was distracted with much serving, and she approached Him and said, “Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Therefore tell her to help me.” And Jesus answered and said to her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and troubled about many things. But one thing is needed, and Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her.”” Luke 10:38-42 We have to make room for The Most Important Part of Our Thoughts, Our Heavenly Father, King, Savior, Creator, and Protector. When we let all the things of this world run amuck in our minds, it can be detrimental in our relationship with Our Father. Starting our day off with The King and His Word fills our minds with The Promises of God Almighty. When we do this we can know and feel that Our Father Is With Us Throughout Our Day. When we start our day with The One Who Is Good, we can look forward to witnessing Our Father's Amazing Grace being manifested in our busy days, and it is much easier to keep our focus on Him throughout the craziness of our other worldly affairs the enemy is trying to keep us blinded with. Starting our day with Our Father prepares us to receive wisdom, experience His Wonder, witness miracles, and be a Light in this dark world. We have the ability to discipline ourselves and allow our minds to think on good things, the acceptable and perfect Will of Our Father and God. Our Father has given us minds that can discern The Perfect Will of God. Once we have accepted Yeshua, Jesus Christ, into our lives we have The Power of Our Father's Holy Spirit to think on Him and Good Things. This helps us to Love Him with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength. Before we start our busy world-filled days, let's give our time to Our Father, His Word, and His Holy Breath aka His Holy Spirit, and Let Him Renew Our Minds In Only A Way That He Can. If we do this we will grow in our ability each day to Love Our Father with all our mind. He Will Prepare, Shape, and Mold Us into what He Has Called Us To Be... His People, His Children. May we all spend some time each morning with Our Father in Heaven and Our Savior. May we allow Him to renew our minds and better prepare us for what is GOOD, ACCEPTABLE, and PERFECT! God Bless Everybody. Have a God-Filled Great and Renewed Mind Day! The Word of God, His Perfect and Acceptable Will: “Jesus answered him, “The first of all the commandments is: ‘Hear, O Israel, The LORD our God, The LORD is one. And you shall Love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ This is the first commandment.” Mark 12:29-30 “And Jesus answered and said to her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and troubled about many things. But one thing is needed, and Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her.” Luke 10:41-42 “One man of you shall chase a thousand, for the LORD your God is He who fights for you, as He promised you. Therefore take careful heed to yourselves, that you love the LORD your God. Or else, if indeed you do go back, and cling to the remnant of these nations—these that remain among you—and make marriages with them, and go in to them and they to you,” Joshua 23:10-12 “And the LORD your God will circumcise your heart and the heart of your descendants, to love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul, that you may live.” Deuteronomy 30:6 “And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.” Romans 12:2 “These things I have spoken to you while being present with you. But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you. Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” John 14:25-27 Good Morning Wednesday…
Father thank You for this NEW DAY. Please impart in our hearts YOUR WILL. We ask for Patience, Kindness, Humility, and Truth so we may show You and Your Son's Light in this fallen world. In Yeshua, JESUS CHRIST's Name, Amen. - Transforming Evil To Good... God ALWAYS Wins🔥 In all of our lives, at some point, everyone seems to be turned upside down. It is a fact, no one gets out of this place without scars. Whether it is an issue of business immortality, marital infidelity, teenage pregnancy, pastoral shaken faith, fears of suffering, or a number of other things, we are all vulnerable to something "the world" throws at us. The Good News? Evil will not win the day! The Word of God is exploding with stories of faith. Our Father and Our Savior can use ANYTHING for His Good. He takes the evil and supernaturally churns the darkness into Light. While there aren't many simple solutions to the answers of this life's woes, there is One. That One Simple Answer? It is Someone... Far Better Than All We Could Ever Imagine. God Almighty Himself. When Our Father and Savior Intercedes with the evil in this world... He changes that evil into His Good. All we need do is take a look at the story of Joseph who is a picture of Our Messiah and King 🔥. Imprisoned, deported, rejected, enslaved, and slandered Joseph seemed to have it as rough as anyone. Yet he rose from the pit and became a Hero Of The Entire World (🔥). Let's take a look in The Word of Truth at some of Joseph's last words in The Bible.: “You meant evil against me; but God meant it for good” (Genesis 50:20 NKJV) There is without a doubt a pattern that The Bible repeats, and in fact it is repeated from Beginning to End. God Makes Good, evil tries to interfere, and God Makes Things Right. Think about Our Savior, Yeshua, Jesus Christ On That Cross. His hands being pierced by the sound of banging nails. The enemy smugly smirks. The enemies demons lurk. And all that is evil gets ready to celebrate in its filthiness. The enemy thinks to himself, "this time I win." For brief moment it seems to the world, the apostles, the enemy, and all who witnessed Our Saviors death, that he did. His Final Human Breath. The Precious Blood Of Jesus Christ Ran Down The Wood And Into The Dirt. His Love Ones lowered His Body as the sun went down. The Roman Soldiers sealed His Tomb and the darkness of night spread across the earth. Now, here is the point where we see God Almighty At Work. The enemy intended evil. Destruction was in his sites. The Apostles were devastated. Everyone mourned. This is where Our Father and Our Savior turn EVERYTHING on its head and begin to show out. The evil that was intended was about to be used By God for The Ultimate Good. Our Father Rolled Away The Rock. Yeshua, Jesus Christ Rose Out Of The Grave, Smile On His Face, and A Twinkle In His Eyes. The enemy cowered, fled, and had his tail between his legs! If you ever wonder, "does the enemy ever win?" The answer is no... he doesn't. Just about the time we fragile humans lose hope... God Transforms. He takes the evil, transforms it, and Produces Good For All. As we move through our day today, may we think of all the evil that surrounds us and just imagine how Our Father Will Use It For His Good And Purpose. The one who slanders us will instead serve us and speak good to everyone about us. The one who fights with us will celebrate with us. The one who disappoints us will surprise us with kindness, faithfulness, and fidelity. Can you imagine?! One thing I believe we must all understand is that because we are a fallen species, just like Our Savior, Joseph, Daniel, and other fine examples of God's Faithful, we must be humbled before we are lifted up by Our Father. Whatever evil means to do against you, God Will Use It For Good! We will triumph! We will be raised! By Him Who Has No Evil In Him. Boom! Take that enemy! Let us today thank Our Father for "Setting Things Back In Order," For Making Life Hopeful, For Using the enemy against himself, And For Raising Us From Our Own Pits Of Despair. Remember, no matter how bad things seem, no matter how hopeless you feel things are... God Our Father Always Makes A Way! Because we have a Kind And Loving Father, There Is Life In Death, Blessing In Persecution, Joy In Sadness, And Light Where There Was Once darkness. God Wins. That means we win. May we take ahold of This Unchanging Truth, boldly face whatever the world throws at us, Proclaim The Greatness Of God Almighty, and claim VICTORY IN HIM!!! Prayer: Dear God Almighty, Maker of Heaven and Earth, Thank You for being A Kind, Loving, Transforming, and Victorious Creator. Thank You For Always Using The Bad For Your Good, and Our Good As Well. You Are The Only One Who Knows What Evil We Face This Day. We Ask You To Let Us See Your Good and How You Are Transforming What the enemy intends for bad Into Your Glory and Triumph. We Know You Are Always At Work Father, Help Us To Never Forget This. When we seem lost, hopeless, or beaten down, Show Us Your Deliverance Father. Help Us To Always See, To Always Hear, And To Always Rely On Your Power and not our own. Bless You For All That You Are and All That You Do. We Love You. We Thank You. We Praise You All The Days Of Our Lives. In The Name of Your Ultimate Transformation, Your Greatest Sacrifice, and The Most Loving Act Of Human and Divine Goodness You Could Have Ever Given Us... Yeshua, Jesus Christ Almighty's Name We Pray These Things. Amen! Extra Fuel For The Soul: “the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His Calling, what are the riches of the glory of His Inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of His Power toward us who believe, according to the working of His Mighty Power which He Worked in Christ when He Raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His Right Hand in the heavenly places, far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come.” Ephesians 1:18-21 NKJV “For with You is the fountain of life; In Your light we see light.” Psalms 36:9 NKJV Good Morning Tuesday...
Father thank You for this new day. Please continue to fill us with Your Love and Compassion as we go out into a fallen world. Let us be a Light in the darkness and use us to usher more Brothers and Sisters into Your Kingdom. In Yeshua, Jesus Christ's Name. Amen. - He Is (Part 6) Our Father Is God. He Wants Us To Know Who He Is. He Shows His Character, Wisdom, Omnipotence, Power, Mercy, Justice, Omniscience, and Glory All Through His Word... Just For Us. His Greatest Gift...He Sent His Son So We Could Get To Know Him Better. He Let Him Be Sacrificed So We Would Know How Much He Loves Us. He Is A King. He Is The Creator. He Is Our Reason For Being. Today, let's go through The Bible and see just who He Says He Is. When He Tells Us Who He Is we can grow, understand Him more clearly, draw closer, and try to imitate Him and His Perfect Character better. As we go through in Scripture searching out His Character and Names, I encourage you to let Him Speak to you. Listen to The God of All Creation, Our Heavenly Father, talk to you and tell you exactly what He Wants To Do For you. Let's jump right in and listen to Him Tell Us Who...HE IS. “But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that HE IS, and that HE IS a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.” Hebrews 11:6 Our Father's Nature Never Changes. HE IS, WAS, AND WILL ALWAYS BE. He Is Who He Is. That's what He Told Moses. I Am Who I Am. That's what His Name means, YAHWEH, I Am Who I Am. His Name Means...HE IS! He Has Come! He Is... Yeshua, Jesus, Salvation He Is... The Shield, The Annointed; “O God, behold OUR SHIELD, And look upon the face of YOUR ANNOINTED.” Psalms 84:9 NKJV He Is... My Defense, My High Stronghold, The Rock of My Refuge; “But The LORD has been MY DEFENSE, And My God THE ROCK OF MY REFUGE." Psalms 94:22 NKJV “But Yahweh has become MY HIGH STRONGHOLD, and My God has become MY ROCK OF REFUGE.” Psalms 94:22 LEB He Is... Yahweh, The LORD, The King and Priest After The Order of Melchizedek; “Yahweh has sworn and He will not change his mind, “You are A PRIEST FOREVER ACCORDING TO THE MANNER OF MELCHIZEDEK." Psalms 110:4 LEB “The LORD has sworn And will not relent, “You are A PRIEST FOREVER ACCORDING TO THE ORDER OF MELCHIZEDEK." Psalms 110:4 NKJV He Is... A Friend That Loves At All Times, A Brother Born For Adversity; “A friend loves at all times, And A BROTHER IS BORN FOR ADVERSITY.” Proverbs 17:17 NKJV “A FRIEND LOVETH AT ALL TIMES, and A BROTHER IS BORN FOR ADVERSITY.” Proverbs 17:17 KJV He Is... My Stone of Grace, A Precious Stone; “A present is A PRECIOUS STONE in the eyes of its possessor; Wherever He Turns, He Prospers.” Proverbs 17:8 NKJV He Is... A Friend Who Sticks Closer Than A Brother; “A man who has friends must himself be friendly, But there is A FRIEND WHO STICKS CLOSER THAN A BROTHER." Proverbs 18:24 NKJV He Is... Good Ointment, As Ointment Poured Forth; “Because of the savour of thy good ointments thy name is AS OINTMENT POURED FORTH, therefore do the virgins love thee.” Song of Solomon 1:3 KJV To Be Continued... |
