Good Morning Tuesday...
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 9 Wisdom: “Pray for a good harvest, but keep on hoeing.” - Unknown The Source AKA The Word This Wisdom Came From: “See, his faith was at work along with his actions. In fact, his faith was made complete by his faithful actions.” James 2:22 CEB “Now he who plants and he who waters are one, and each one will receive his own reward according to his own labor. For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, you are God’s building.” I Corinthians 3:8-9 NKJV “Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.” Galatians 6:7 NIV “Then He said to them, “The harvest is indeed plentiful, but the laborers are few. Pray therefore to The Lord of The Harvest, that He may send out laborers into His Harvest.” Luke 10:2 WMB “Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; but if not, believe because of the works themselves.” John 14:11 LEB Prayer: Dear Father God, Thank You for all Your Good Works that You have poured out to us, Your Children. There is none like You O’ Father, none so faithful, Loving, kind, merciful, and Holy. Help us to have complete faith in You, but let us never stop working towards Your Goal. Help us to understand Your Instruction, Your Wisdom, Your Works, 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 Constant Faithfulness, for We Know They Are True. Thank You Father... for everything. In Our King Yeshua’s Name, Jesus Christ, we pray these things to You Father. Amen! “For The Word of The Lord (YHVH, Yahweh) is right; and all His Work is done in faithfulness.” Psalm 33:4 AMPC “Jesus replied to them, “I assure you and most solemnly say to you, if you have faith [personal trust and confidence in Me] and do not doubt or allow yourself to be drawn in two directions, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ it will happen [if God wills it]. And whatever you ask for in prayer, believing, you will receive.” Matthew 21:21-22 AMP

Good Morning Monday...
Thank you Father for the blessing of this NEW day. Please continue to fill our HEARTS & MINDS with your TRUTH & LOVE so we stay focused during the trials of TODAY. We ask this in YESHUA, JESUS CHRIST’s Name. Amen! - The God Who Sees Me (El Roi): Our Father Sees From Heaven And Rewards Our Faith! As humans we are laden with limitations that Our Father In Heaven is not. We can't see the future and The Bible is explicit that we should not seek out those who say they can. These people in The Bible are called "mediums" and we are to stay away. The Bible gives us many reasons to stay away from these people. I believe the biggest reason is because we are suppose to trust in Our Father to provide, protect, discipline, Love, and do what is right for us. If we knew the future, we would run the risk of becoming prideful, crafty, or completely abandon the fact that we need Our Father and All He Offers. In The Gospel Message, particularly Mark Chapter 5, we meet a character name Jairus. Jairus was "one of the rulers of the synagogue" and was obviously a man with status and position. Although he was a man of position, all we see is a desperate dad begging Our Savior Yeshua to heal his daughter. During the journey to get to Jairus's daughter we read that "some came" from Jairus's house and proclaimed "your daughter is dead. Why trouble The Teacher any longer." Now had this been just a regular man or a "medium" that Jairus was speaking to, the story may have ended there, but as we know, he was talking to Jesus Christ, not an ordinary man, but God Incarnate In The Flesh. The words that Our Savior spoke next are the basis of our entire faith: "Do not be afraid; only believe." Many times our faith begins by rejecting what people around us are saying. After all, we do not live "by sight, but by faith." We all have a choice to believe others or believe Our Father and Savior, God Almighty. Jairus chose the later. Jairus's faith in The Messiah Our Savior earned him a daughter who was brought back to Life. Our Savior not only healed the little 12 year old girl, but brought glory and praise to Our Father. Mark it down! (Pun Intended) Faith heals! Our Father knows that we are blind, especially compared to Him. Our Father knows that living by faith and not by sight are counterintuitive to what we learn growing up in this fallen world and does not come naturally. Maybe that is one reason Jesus raised Jairus's daughter from the dead. Our Savior didn't do it for the girl, certainly she was better off "sleeping" than in this cruel world, but He did it for those that witnessed the miracle, and for us. Yeshua, Jesus Christ The King, was trying to teach us that even if we cannot "see" the future, He Does. Our Father and Savior knows when we are trusting in Him, and for our own good, He tells us not to trust in fortune tellers, but rather Trust In Him. Fortune tellers can do us no good. Trust in The Creator of All Things heals not only our loved ones, but also pulls us out of the despair of mourning death. When we trust in Him... Our Father Sees From Heaven and Rewards Our Faith! Praise Yah! God Bless Every One. Have a Great Faith-Filled Day! The Word of YHWH (Yahweh/LORD/God/Elohim): “Now when Jesus had crossed over again by boat to the other side, a great multitude gathered to Him; and He was by the sea. And behold, one of the rulers of the synagogue came, Jairus by name. And when he saw Him, he fell at His feet and begged Him earnestly, saying, “My little daughter lies at the point of death. Come and lay Your hands on her, that she may be healed, and she will live.” So Jesus went with him, and a great multitude followed Him and thronged Him. While He was still speaking, some came from the ruler of the synagogue’s house who said, “Your daughter is dead. Why trouble the Teacher any further?” As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, He said to the ruler of the synagogue, “Do not be afraid; only believe.” And He permitted no one to follow Him except Peter, James, and John the brother of James. Then He came to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and saw a tumult and those who wept and wailed loudly. When He came in, He said to them, “Why make this commotion and weep? The child is not dead, but sleeping.” And they ridiculed Him. But when He had put them all outside, He took the father and the mother of the child, and those who were with Him, and entered where the child was lying. Then He took the child by the hand, and said to her, “Talitha, cumi,” which is translated, “Little girl, I say to you, arise.” Immediately the girl arose and walked, for she was twelve years of age. And they were overcome with great amazement.” Mark 5:21-24, 35-42 “For we walk by faith, not by sight.” II Corinthians 5:7 “For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.” Mark 11:23-24 “Do you have faith? Have it to yourself before God. Happy is he who does not condemn himself in what he approves.” Romans 14:22 “And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?” John 11:26 “Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works. Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me, or else believe Me for the sake of the works themselves.” John 14:9-11 Good Morning Sunday...
Father Thank You for Your Rest. Thank You for Your Day. Thank You for Your Moedim (Appointed Times). Please give us PEACE. In Yeshua Ha'Mashiach, Jesus Christ The Messiah's Name we pray. Amen. - Consider This... Again (Part 3) “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 that He Was Always The Perfect Sacrifice And Every Sacrifice The Bible Was Leading Us To. Consider that God Our Father leads us to His Word AKA Yeshua, Jesus Christ. Then consider that Yeshua, Our Savior, leads us right back to God Our Father. Consider that God Our Father and Yeshua Our Savior Are One. Consider that Yeshua, Jesus Christ, Has Always Been Here. In all the history of mankind, there were only 3 days that we were separated from Him. Consider that even during those 3 days, He may have still been with us. Consider that the only people Yeshua ever chastises in The Bible are "religious" authorities. Consider that He fulfilled every single prophecy in The Bible. Every single one. Consider that. 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, God 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, Jesus Christ, 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 “For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,” I Corinthians 15:3 “And all who heard Him were astonished at His understanding and answers.” Luke 2:47 “Or do you think that I cannot now pray to My Father, and He will provide Me with more than twelve legions of angels? How then could the Scriptures be fulfilled, that it must happen thus?” Matthew 26:53-54 “Thus says The LORD (YHVH, Yahweh), your Redeemer, The Holy One of Israel: “I AM The LORD (YHVH, Yahweh) your God, Who teaches you to profit, Who leads you by The Way you should go.” Isaiah 48:17 “I and My Father are one.” John 10:30 “But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them, “Brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?” Matthew 3:7 “Then they said to Him, “Where is Your Father?” Jesus answered, “You know neither Me nor My Father. If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also.” These words Jesus spoke in the treasury, as He taught in the temple; and no one laid hands on Him, for His hour had not yet come.” John 8:19-20 “After this, Jesus, knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said, “I thirst!” John 19:28 Good Morning Sabbath...
Father, be with us when the only thing we can even ask for is peace. Be in the big moments, the little moments, the in-between and uncertain moments. Thank You that You Are, “…not a God of disorder but of Peace” (1 Corinthians 14:33) and that Your Peace, “Transcends All Understanding, (and) Will Guard (our) hearts and (our) minds in Yeshua, Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:7). In Yeshua, Jesus Christ’s Name we pray. Amen. - A Sabbath Word - Speech: Using Wisdom, Grace, and Sensibility With ALL - Seasoning Our Words With Salt “Walk in wisdom toward those who are outside, redeeming the time. Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one.” Colossians 4:5-6 When we first read this text it would be easy to assume Our Father is telling us through Paul to "season with salt" our speech only to those who haven't heard The Good News. While in verse 5 it does speak of "walking in wisdom towards those who are outside," we need only look in the next sentence where it says let your speech "Always" be with grace. Therefore, we must accept that this is also applicable when speaking to those whom we know have heard and accepted Yeshua, Jesus Christ, as their Savior. It is a fact, none of us has all the answers, and who is to say that one of our Brothers and Sisters doesn't need to hear something wonderful that Our Father has shown us along our journey. With that said, this may be the exact place where we need a little extra "salt seasoning" of our speech. While that Brother or Sister we are speaking with may need to hear a word which we have been given, it is all about how you say it as to whether they will accept it or not. We can't force anyone to accept that which we have been shown, but we can present it, or "plant the seed," and let that seed soak into the good soil we know is there. Then that seed will grow. Often we can be careless with our words. It is just so easy, especially when we assume someone has picked up on the particular revelation we have received. But sometimes, if not presented wise, the revelation can lead to an intense battle within that person which could have been avoided with a little "salt seasoning" of our words and just a little mindfulness. You never know, you might have just the right answer for a Brother's or Sister's question, but it may do no good if not presented with Love and Mindfulness of where our Brother or Sister are at in their walk. May we all be mindful of those in need of The Word whether they are lifetime followers of Yeshua, Jesus Christ, or those hearing The Good News for the first time. We all have an opportunity everyday to make a difference, and we can all produce a bountiful fruit crop for Our Heavenly Father and Our King if we but use Wisdom, Grace, and Sensibility With All. May we all "Season Our Words With Salt." Prayer: Dear Father God, please be with others as we share Your Knowledge, and help us to make the most of the opportunities You place in front of us. Help us to share Your Good News with Love, Kindness, Meekness, and an attitude of Humility where all may accept it, those in our household and those outside. Help us to also see when we are wrong and accept the correction of our Brother's and Sister's who are bringing us Truth. Help us to choose our words with Wisdom, Grace, and Sensibility to all whom we speak to; those who haven't been introduced to Your Salvation, as well as those Brother's and Sister's who are already Walking With You. We ask this in The Name of Your Mighty Salvation Himself, Yeshua, Jesus Christ Our King. Amen. Extra Fuel For The Soul: “A soft answer turns away wrath, But a harsh word stirs up anger. The tongue of the wise uses knowledge rightly, But the mouth of fools pours forth foolishness. The eyes of The LORD (YHWH, Yahweh) are in every place, Keeping watch on the evil and the good.” Proverbs 15:1-3 “He who corrects a scoffer gets shame for himself, And he who rebukes a wicked man only harms himself. Do not correct a scoffer, lest he hate you; Rebuke a wise man, and he will love you. Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be still wiser; Teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.” Proverbs 9:7-9 “Debate your case with your neighbor, And do not disclose the secret to another; Lest he who hears it expose your shame, And your reputation be ruined. A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold In settings of silver.” Proverbs 25:9-11 “To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven:” Ecclesiastes 3:1 Good Morning Friday...
FATHER thank You for MAKING this NEW day. We ask that you OPEN our HEARTS and MINDS to the infinite TRUTH, GRACE, WISDOM, KNOWLEDGE, and MERCY SUPPLIED to us in YOUR WORD, OUR ALMIGHTY GOD. In YESHUA, JESUS CHRIST's Holy Name we pray, Amen. - Yeshua Speaks: The Red Letter Words Yeshua, Jesus Christ Our Savior, didn't always say the things everyone wanted to hear. In fact, the majority turned from what He said the moment they thought they might have to "give up" something. Unfortunately, too few know how much we truly get in return when we “hear” The Word. What Our Messiah tells us is necessary. What He tells us is sometimes downright uncomfortable IF we don't understand what He is saying and IF we aren't listening. There is always a Greater Message With Jesus. There is always Growth and Shalom (Peace) in Our Savior's words if we "hear" what He is saying. This makes putting His Word into practice much more simple and without burden. As we look at The Scriptures today, let us dig in and try to truly understand what The Savior of The Whole World is speaking to us. There is a group message for all of us, and there is also a personal message for each one of us. May we all open our hearts and minds and take a deeper look at the words Our Savior Speaks. These Scriptures are,"The Red Letter Words,” and that is to identify that The King, Yeshua, Is Speaking. What is He Saying to you? Yeshua, Jesus Christ Our King, said: “But I say to you who hear: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, and pray for those who spitefully use you. To him who strikes you on the one cheek, offer the other also. And from him who takes away your cloak, do not withhold your tunic either. Give to everyone who asks of you. And from him who takes away your goods do not ask them back. And just as you want men to do to you, you also do to them likewise. “But if you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. And if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same. And if you lend to those from whom you hope to receive back, what credit is that to you? For even sinners lend to sinners to receive as much back. But love your enemies, do good, and lend, hoping for nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High. For He is kind to the unthankful and evil. Therefore be merciful, just as your Father also is merciful. “Judge not, and you shall not be judged. Condemn not, and you shall not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.” And He spoke a parable to them: “Can the blind lead the blind? Will they not both fall into the ditch? A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone who is perfectly trained will be like his teacher. And why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not perceive the plank in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me remove the speck that is in your eye,’ when you yourself do not see the plank that is in your own eye? Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck that is in your brother’s eye. “For a good tree does not bear bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit. For every tree is known by its own fruit. For men do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they gather grapes from a bramble bush. A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth evil. For out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks. “But why do you call Me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and not do the things which I say? Whoever comes to Me, and hears My sayings and does them, I will show you whom he is like: He is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on The Rock. And when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently against that house, and could not shake it, for it was founded on The Rock. But he who heard and did nothing is like a man who built a house on the earth without a foundation, against which the stream beat vehemently; and immediately it fell. And the ruin of that house was great.” Luke 6:27-49 Good Morning Thursday...
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. - Miraculous Patience: Waiting On Our Father's Promises “To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven: ” Ecclesiastes 3:1 Are you currently waiting on a miracle from God? Trust me, this will not be the last time and I am sure it isn't the first, lest you are a new believer. Our lives as believers require that sometimes...we wait. Throughout our lives there will inevitably be many "seasons" of waiting. What should we do while we wait? Let's look to The Word of Our Father to find that answer. “Yes, in THE WAY of Your judgments, O LORD (YHWH, Yahweh), we have waited for You; The desire of our soul is for Your Name And for the remembrance of You.” Isaiah 26:8 Isaiah tells us that we should wait for Our Father "in The Way of" His Judgments. We should follow His Instructions, "desire" Him, and remember Him. I mean, after all, does it really make sense to ask Him for something and then not follow Him while He makes "The Way of His Judgements?" Of course not. Our Father desires for us "Hope, Faith, and Love, and The Greatest is Love." The more we read Our Father's Word, the more we can see that The Bible is full of stories with our Brothers and Sisters waiting. Just to name a few accounts of God's People waiting are: Abraham waiting on Our Father to be the "father of nations," Sarah waiting on Our Father to be blessed with a child, Noah waiting on Our Father to stop the rain, David waiting on Our Father to place him on the throne of Israel, Ruth waiting on Our Father for her "Boaz," and that is just a few of the long list of those who waited for Our Father to decide the right time for His Promises to take place. Waiting is part of Life. It may not be our favorite part, but if we knew the good things Our Father is doing in that waiting, maybe it would be. The one thing we must be careful of is not to press forward without Him, Our Father and Savior, leading. Remember Saul? No bueno. The enemy will try during this time to discourage us and slowly "beat us down." Fortunate for us, we have God's Word and know the more we are beaten, the stronger we grow. Like the forging of a sword, Our Father is making perfect blades of unbreakable material, and just as with a sword, there will be heating, shaving, banging, and... waiting. While we do have to wait, it is always prudent for us to remember and exercise what we know to be True: 1.) Our Father Is Faithful “Therefore know that The LORD (YHWH, Yahweh) your God, He is God, The Faithful God who keeps covenant and mercy for a thousand generations with those who Love Him and keep His commandments;” Deuteronomy 7:9 NKJV 2.) Our Father Keeps His Promises, Always... All Of Them: “Yahweh gave them rest on every side, according to all that he had sworn to their ancestors, and nobody from all their enemies withstood them, for Yahweh had given all their enemies into their hand. And nothing failed from all the good things that Yahweh promised to the house of Israel; everything came to pass.” Joshua 21:44-45 LEB 3.) Our Father Gives Purpose In Our Waiting: “So, my dear brothers, stand firm and immovable, always doing the Lord’s work as vigorously as you can, knowing that united with the Lord your efforts are not in vain.” 1 Corinthians (1 Co) 15:58 CJB Prayer: Dear Father God, we know that You have a wonderful purpose in our waiting. Father, strengthen us in our pain as we wait. We know that you are fulfilling promises as we wait, thank You and bless You. We thank You for the hidden things because you know we are not ready to see them and we thank you for the revealed things, allowing us to discover Your ultimate purpose. Thank you for molding us during our wait and bringing us closer to you. Father, help us to look and find You in the midst of our wait and help us to discover Your "good and perfect" will that You are fulfilling for us. Bless you Father. We Love You and pray these things in Your Mighty Son and Our Savior's Name Yeshua, Jesus Christ. Amen. The Word of Yah: “But The Fruit of The Spirit is LOVE, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness,” Galatians 5:22 LEB “And now abide Faith, Hope, LOVE, these three; but the greatest of these is LOVE.” I Corinthians 13:13 LEB “Then Samuel said to Saul, “You have behaved foolishly! You have not kept the command of Yahweh your God which He commanded you. For then, Yahweh would have established your kingdom over Israel forever. But now, your kingdom will not endure. Yahweh has sought for Himself a man according to his own heart, and Yahweh has appointed him as leader over His people, because you have not kept what Yahweh commanded you.” 1 Samuel 13:13-14 LEB “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 LEB “But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.” James 1:4 LEB Good Morning Wednesday...
FATHER thank You for this NEW DAY. We ask that you cover us with YOUR MIGHTY HAND. Let us understand YOUR MIGHTY WILL, so that we may see YOUR INFINITE GLORY. We ask this in YOUR PERFECT SON YESHUA, JESUS CHRIST's NAME. Amen. - He Is... (Part 23) 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 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 “And she shall give birth to a Son, and you shall call His Name יהושע (YESHUA, JESUS, SALVATION) for He shall save His people from their sins.” Mattithyahu (Matthew) 1:21 TS2009 “And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name JESUS, for HE WILL SAVE HIS PEOPLE FROM THEIR SINS.” Matthew 1:21 NKJV He Is... The King of The Daughter of Zion; “Do not be afraid, Daughter Zion; see, your King is coming, seated on a donkey’s colt.” At first His disciples did not understand all this. Only after Jesus was glorified did they realize that these things had been written about Him and that these things had been done to Him.” John 12:15-16 NIV He Is... The Corn of Wheat, The Kernel of Wheat; “Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.” John 12:24 KJV “Jesus replied, “The hour has come for The Son of Man to be glorified. Very truly I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds. Anyone who loves their life will lose it, while anyone who hates their life in this world will keep it for eternal life. Whoever serves Me must follow Me; and where I Am, My Servant also will be. My Father will honor The One who serves Me.” John 12:23-26 NIV He Is... The Light; “Yeshua therefore said to them, “Yet a little while THE LIGHT is with you. Walk while you have THE LIGHT, that darkness doesn’t overtake you. He who walks in the darkness doesn’t know where he is going. While you have THE LIGHT, believe in THE LIGHT, that you may become children of LIGHT.” Yeshua said these things, and He departed and hid Himself from them.” Yochanan (John)12:35-36 WMB He Is... My Lord, Master, & Teacher, ; “Then after He had washed their feet, and taken His garments, being set down again, He said to them: Know you what I have done to you? You call me MASTER, and LORD; and you say well, for so I Am. If then I being your LORD and MASTER, have washed your feet; you also ought to wash one another's feet.” John 13:12-14 DRC1752 “So when He had washed their feet and put on His [outer] robe and reclined at the table again, He said to them, “Do you understand what I have done for you? You call Me TEACHER and LORD, and you are right in doing so, for that is who I am. So if I, THE LORD and THE TEACHER, washed your feet, you ought to wash one another’s feet as well.” John 13:12-14 AMP He Is... My Example; “I HAVE GIVEN YOU AN EXAMPLE: Just as I have done, you also must do.” John 13:15 CEB He Is... The Way, The Truth, and The Life; “Jesus said to him, “I AM THE WAY, and THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE. No one comes to the Father except through me.” John 14:6 LEB To Be Continued... God Bless each and every one of you on the other side of this screen. May each and everyone of you have have a He Is..., Yeshua, Life-Filled Day! 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 Your Lights in this present darkness. Teach us what it means to “fear You,” and to know You. Help us to overcome that which stands in our way of giving You what You rightfully deserve. In Yeshua's, Jesus Christ's Name we pray. Amen. - Living Bread, Universal Wisdom: Proverbs 1 “The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel: To know wisdom and instruction, To perceive the words of understanding, To receive the instruction of wisdom, Justice, judgment, and equity; To give prudence to the simple, To the young man knowledge and discretion— A wise man will hear and increase learning, And a man of understanding will attain wise counsel, To understand a proverb and an enigma, The words of the wise and their riddles. The fear of The LORD (YHVH, Yahweh) is the beginning of knowledge, But fools despise wisdom and instruction. My son, hear the instruction of your Father, And do not forsake the law of your mother; For they will be a graceful ornament on your head, And chains about your neck. My son, if sinners entice you, Do not consent. If they say, “Come with us, Let us lie in wait to shed blood; Let us lurk secretly for the innocent without cause; Let us swallow them alive like Sheol, And whole, like those who go down to the Pit; We shall find all kinds of precious possessions, We shall fill our houses with spoil; Cast in your lot among us, Let us all have one purse”— My son, do not walk in the way with them, Keep your foot from their path; For their feet run to evil, And they make haste to shed blood. Surely, in vain the net is spread In the sight of any bird; But they lie in wait for their own blood, They lurk secretly for their own lives. So are the ways of everyone who is greedy for gain; It takes away the life of its owners. Wisdom calls aloud outside; She raises her voice in the open squares. She cries out in the chief concourses, At the openings of the gates in the city She speaks her words: “How long, you simple ones, will you love simplicity? For scorners delight in their scorning, And fools hate knowledge. Turn at my rebuke; Surely I will pour out My Spirit on you; I will make My Words known to you. Because I have called and you refused, I have stretched out My Hand and no one regarded, Because you disdained all My counsel, And would have none of my rebuke, I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your terror comes, When your terror comes like a storm, And your destruction comes like a whirlwind, When distress and anguish come upon you. “Then they will call on Me, but I will not answer; They will seek me diligently, but they will not find Me. Because they hated knowledge And did not choose the fear of The LORD (YHVH, Yahweh), They would have none of My counsel And despised My every rebuke. Therefore they shall eat the fruit of their own way, And be filled to the full with their own fancies. For the turning away of the simple will slay them, And the complacency of fools will destroy them; But whoever listens to Me will dwell safely, And will be secure, without fear of evil.” Proverbs 1:1-33 NKJV Dear Heavenly Father, Thank You for Your Word. Forgive us our sins and let us forgive others who may sin against us, just as you forgive us. Father please let Your Word soak into us and become a part of our being. There is no wisdom without You, no knowledge without Your Word, and no Love without Your Fellowship. Draw us closer Father. Bless Your Holy Name. Bless Your Holy Word. Bless Your Holy Love. Thank you Father. In Your Mighty Son Yeshua, Jesus Christ's Name we pray. Amen. 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. Father, please Shine Your Light in us, through us, and over us. May we make a difference in this world, for Your Glory and Purposes TODAY! A big thank you to berean.org and our late Brother, John Ritenbaugh, for today’s devotion. “Now the Bereans were more noble-minded than the Thessalonians, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if these teachings were true. .” Acts 17:11 - A Berean Breakdown: Don’t Believe The Lie! - The Fall of Man “Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which The LORD (YHVH, Yahweh) God had made. And he said to the woman, “Has God indeed said, ‘You shall not eat of every tree of the garden’?” And the woman said to the serpent, “We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden; but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God has said, ‘You shall not eat it, nor shall you touch it, lest you die.’ ” Then the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die. For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” Genesis 3:1-5 Satan made a seemingly gentle suggestion against God's word and work, first by presenting them in a negative light. God had spoken to Adam and Eve, giving them His word. They had gathered much about the mind and personality of God because of what He said. In addition, they could see with their own eyes a great deal about God's person, personality, and mind by what He had made. They were in a beautiful garden, which reflected the mind of God. They could see the beauty of His mind, and how His mind provided things beautiful and delightful to enjoy. They knew a great deal about the mind of God simply from what they were able to observe. By making the challenge the way Satan did, he first made them mildly skeptical about God's love, asking them, “Does God really love you?” Second, he made it seem as though obedience to God was, in reality, servility. He made them begin to feel as though God's way was restrictive; that He was holding back good things from them. This thought naturally lead them to think much more could be obtained from life if they just followed their body's and mind's natural inclinations. Third, he played his trump card: Not only would they not die, but they would be in control, free to determine right and wrong. In short, they would be equal to God! Satan successfully brought them into a spirit of competition against God, resulting in the enmity described in Romans 8:7. He indirectly lied about God Himself, and he directly lied about the penalty, giving them misinformation about the reward. He did tell them the truth, that their eyes would be opened and that they would not immediately die. Their eyes were opened, and they now looked at things through the twisted perspective, seeing evil in everything. From innocence, they became ashamed of their nakedness. The effect began immediately. This is important because right thoughts precede right actions; right thoughts determine the release of proper emotions. Our thoughts express themselves even in our most casual relationships, in daily work, and most importantly, in our intimate relationships in our home and family. Most of all, they express themselves in our relationship with God. False beliefs about God and His purpose for man are far more destructive than alcohol and drugs. They confuse, divide, and bring on warfare. Satan's lies, his counterfeits, and his devices are usually so subtle that only a trained mind can discern them. God teaches us to be able to see. He trains us to be able to spot the ploys, contrivances, and stratagems of our enemy so that we can overcome and defeat him. Good Morning Sunday...
FATHER thank You for this NEW DAY. We ask that you cover us with YOUR MIGHTY HAND. Let us understand YOUR MIGHTY WILL so that we may see YOUR INFINITE GLORY. We ask this in YOUR PERFECT SON YESHUA, JESUS CHRIST's NAME. Amen. A big thank you to Brother Larry Good for today’s devotion. Brother Larry sent this out years ago, and being that we have been on this subject for the last few days, it seemed perfectly fitting. God Bless Brothers and Sisters, may The Peace of Our Heavenly Father and Savior be upon you, and may He give each and every one of you on the other side of this screen Spiritual Strength. *Please Note: This devotion has been modified from its original version by Servant of Yeshua 7 & Yeshua Reigns Ministries. - A Prayer for Spiritual Strength “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.” Ephesians 6:12 Everything visible and physical is controlled or derived from that which is invisible and spiritual. If we want to fix the visible and physical problems we are experiencing in our lives, we have to address the spiritual and invisible issues behind them. Why? Because if we don’t address the spiritual and invisible, then we will not have addressed The Divine precursor from which to solve the tangibly manifested issues at hand. What we can see, hear, touch, taste, and smell in our physical senses must first be addressed from God’s realm before we can make any lasting and real difference on the earthly level. Satan wants to get us to skip The Divine perspective because he knows that we will never be able to solve our visible and physical problems until we address them from the divine realm. Heaven rules earth. What happens in Our Father’s Realm determines what happens in the realm we see, the physical. So in order to actualize success in the challenges that we face, we need to remain in contact with Our Father and Savior’s Spirit in order to tap into the solutions we desire for earth. In other words, abide in Christ. A Prayer for Spiritual Strength: Heavenly Father, give us the wisdom to walk, figuratively see, and understand how things operate in both The Spiritual and physical. Help us to recognize the movements of The Spirit, and sew peace where the enemy would create strife. Open our eyes to see Your vast kingdom which exists in the invisible realm. Remind us in our daily activities to keep Your Presence and Power in the forefront of our minds. Divert our gaze from the problems or issues that we can see to the root which lies hidden behind them so that we may overwhelmingly conquer through Christ Jesus Our King, Savior, Redeemer, Peace, & Hope. Father, we pray these things in The Glorious Name of Yeshua Ha’Mashiach, Jesus Christ. Amen! |
