Good Morning Open The Door For The Savior Sunday (Counting of The Omer Day 21)...
Dear Father, thank You for this NEW day. Guide us as we make this day's JOURNEY. Lift us as we fall. Show us Your LOVE, and HELP us to show Your Love to others. In Yeshua's, Jesus Christ's, Name we PRAY. AMEN! A big thank you to our late Brother, John W. Ritenbaugh, and berean.org for today's devotion. Have a wonderful week everyone and may The Peace and Love of Our Father In Heaven and Our Savior Yeshua, Jesus Christ, be with you all! - A Berean Breakdown: Revelation 3:15-20 - He Is Knocking… Open The Door! "I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth. Because you say, "I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing"—and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked— I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see. As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent. Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.” ~ Revelation 3:15-20 We are, to a great measure, victims of an age that is certainly not apathetic to seeking its own pleasure but is apathetic about having a true relationship with God. Would anybody in all honesty not care to eat or to have fellowship with Jesus Christ? Yet, verse 20 says He is standing at the door and knocking, and He will come in and dine with them if they just open the door. Many would like to eat and fellowship with Christ just to say that they had that novel experience. But the irony here is that God is seeking His people, and they are too uncaring to even rouse themselves to answer the door! The message to this church shows that the problem is that they are so far from Him they are not even aware of their spiritual need and thus have no desire to be near Him. No desire, no prayer. No prayer, no relationship. No relationship, no awareness of spiritual need. It goes in a vicious cycle. God is hoping that He can stir us up enough to repent and to break out of the cycle. He says, "Repent. Be zealous." Zeal indicates heat, passion, and feeling. He is hoping to break us out of this circle by rekindling an awareness of our spiritual need. An awareness of need resides in us because we are close enough to Him to see how Holy, Gracious, Kind, Merciful, and Good He is and desire to be like Him. In other words, we admire Him so much and respect His Personality and Character so much that we want to be near Him—right across the table from Him, as it were. We do not want to be near Him just to have a novel experience but to exalt Him and honor Him by being like Him. Is not imitation the most sincere form of praise?

With all that is transpiring in our world their are many that are dealing with increased levels of anxiety, fear, depression, and other emotions that are not healthy for us as humans. It becomes even more unhealthy if we have to handle these negatives on a daily basis. Fears arise when we face the unknown, unless we have a Guide, A Comforter, or Someone Whom We Know Has Control of the situation. Well, it just so happens that we have The Comforter, The Guide, and The One Who Has Control of The Situation, The One True And Living God Almighty... Our Father. Now is a tough time to be going through an “identity crisis,” but we as believers in Yeshua, Jesus Christ, can have Peace In The Storm and know, without a doubt, exactly who we are. We are children of The Most High, The King of The Universe... forever. If you know someone who is going through a tough time, or if you yourself have recently been accosted with negative thoughts, fears, invasive media, or anxiety, it is important to remember who... “You Are.” With that written, today let’s take a look at who Our Father In Heaven says we are, for we know that what Our Father and Savior says is 100% Pure, Unsaturated Truth.

Good Morning Thriving Through The Word Thursday (Counting of The Omer Day 18)...
FATHER THANK YOU FOR THIS AMAZING DAY. Please FILL US WITH YOUR SPIRIT and help us to be a LIGHT. Endow us with Your PEACE AND WISDOM, so we may BRING LIFE TO THIS WORLD. IN YESHUA, JESUS CHRIST’s Mighty Name we pray. Amen! A big thank you to our late Brother, John W. Ritenbaugh, and berean.org for today’s devotion. God Bless you Bereans! "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: Signs of False Prophets - Jude 1:6-9 (6) And the angels who did not keep their proper domain, but left their own abode, He has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness for The Judgment of The Great Day; (7) as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them in a similar manner to these, having given themselves over to sexual immorality and gone after strange flesh, are set forth as an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. (8) Likewise also these dreamers defile the flesh, reject authority, and speak evil of dignitaries. (9) Yet Michael The Archangel, in contending with the devil, when he disputed about The Body of Moses, dared not bring against him a reviling accusation, but said, "The LORD rebuke you!" Jude 1:6-9 Jude is attacking false prophets, and thus men and demons are interwoven in the context. He indicts these false prophets for three sins: 1. Lust: They defile the flesh, allowing a feeling to take them over the edge into sin. 2. Rebellion: They flout authority in general, but primarily that of Christ. It is hidden in the Greek, but the word authority is really "lordship." It normally refers to Christ and His Lordship over us. 3. Disrespect or disregard of spirit beings. This third sin is interesting because he is saying that it is not that these false prophets will not talk about Satan, but their speech is gratuitous, despising, or denigrating of angelic powers. Their preaching suggests that these demons are not something Christians need to be concerned about. They side-step the issue. Why would they do that? Because a false spirit is leading them, so they downgrade the existence and powers of demons through their preaching. This is clearly seen in Protestant Christianity, especially the mainline denominations that have gone to the point that they almost universally agree that satan, or the devil, and his demons do not really exist. It shows how successful the demons have been in their deceptions. On the other hand, there are evangelical or Pentecostal groups who talk about demons and Satan in a flippant, dismissive way: "Oh, we're going to put down the Devil tonight!" They say such things in their tent shows as part of their evangelistic campaigns. But what they are doing? They are putting Satan into a position where they seem to have power over him. They are so deceived. The Truth, in regard to Satan, is somewhere in between. The True Church of God will have that Truth, and they will understand that, yes, Satan is, he is powerful, but because of God, they do have power over him in that they can reject him and his deceptions. We are not puppets on a string, and he cannot influence us unless we give him the opportunity. If we are spiritually aware and can see him at work, we do not have to submit to him. Jude is giving us signs to look for in the preaching of false ministers. They will denigrate Satan and his demons, there will be indications of lusts, and they will flout the authority of Jesus Christ.

Good Morning Following The Way Wednesday (Counting Of The Omer Day 17)...
We give thanks unto You, Our Father In Heaven, that, in mercy, You have restored our souls within us. Endless is Your Compassion; great is Your Faithfulness. We thank You, God Almighty, for the rest You have given us through the night and for Your Holy Breath, Your Holy Spirit, that renews our bodies and spirit. Abba, help us this morning to truly consider Your Perfect Gift To Humanity, Your Salvation, Yeshua Messiah. In Yeshua, Jesus Christ’s Beautiful Name we pray. Amen. - 2023: Once Again… Consider This (Part 4) “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. Once Again, Consider That Yeshua, Jesus Christ, Died So You Can Live. Consider That All Things Were Created Through Him, And Without Him Nothing Would Have Been Made. Consider That He Came For Sinners, Not The Righteous. Consider That There Are An Uncountable Number Of Miracles He Performed And One Day We Will Get To Learn About Them All. Consider That He Came To Baptize The World With His Holy Spirit... And Fire. Consider That If You Never Study About Him, You May Not Really Know Him. Consider That There Have Been Countless “Religious Leaders” Throughout History, But He Is THE ONLY ONE That Came Back From Death. Consider That He Is God Almighty’s Word And He Is In Every Part Of The Bible, Both Old And New Testament. Consider That He Loves You More Than Any Other Human Being Ever, That He Was Thinking About You As He Was Headed To And On The Cross, And Finally, Consider That If You Have Been Saved, You Are/Were One Of The Lost Sheep Of Israel... 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, Wonderful, 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 Yeshua, Jesus Christ. 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: “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 “For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him.” Colossians 1:16 “But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy and not sacrifice.’ For I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.” Matthew 9:13 “And there are also many other things that Jesus did, which if they were written one by one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that would be written. Amen.” John 21:25 “John answered, saying to all, “I indeed baptize you with water; but One Mightier than I is coming, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to loose. He will baptize you with The Holy Spirit and Fire.” Luke 3:16 “He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Matthew 16:15 “and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures,” I Corinthians 15:4 “In the beginning was The Word, and The Word was with God, and The Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.” John 1:1-3 “He said to them, “How foolish you are, and how slow to believe all that the prophets have spoken! Did not The Messiah have to suffer these things and then enter His Glory?” And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them what was said in all The Scriptures concerning Himself.” Luke 24:25-27 “But He answered and said, “I was not sent except to the lost sheep of The House of Israel.” Matthew 15:24 Please leave any questions, comments, insights, Biblical Nuggets, encouragement, prayer requests, or thoughts in the comments below. Good morning Torah Talk Tuesday (Counting Of The Omer Day 16)…
FATHER, thank you for being Unstoppable, Unchangeable, All Powerful , and Incomparable. You alone are worthy of all our praise, honor, and glory. YOUR LOVE ENDURES FOREVER, and WE ARE FOREVER GRATEFUL FOR YOU. THANK YOU for making a way FOR us to know You personally. NOTHING COMPARES TO YOU! YOU ARE THE ALEPH AND TAV, THE BEGINNING AND THE END FOR US ALL! We praise You, thank You, and bless Your Holy Name in The Name of Your Son, Our Salvation and Messiah, Who is One with You, Yeshua, Jesus Christ The King. Amen! Tomorrow we will dive into the next part of the series “Consider This,” and with the content we have been going over in said series, there seemed to this servant no better time to share this devotion. God Bless My Brothers and Sisters and have a Wonderful-Revelation-From-God-Our Father-Filled-Day!… From The Beginning to The End :-). Shalom! - The Beginning and The End... Great Are His Mercies! The Aleph and The Tav. “This I recall to my mind, Therefore I have hope. Through The LORD’s (YHWH's, Yahweh's) mercies we are not consumed, Because His Compassions fail not. They are new every morning; Great is Your Faithfulness. “The LORD (YHVH, Yahweh) is my portion,” says my soul, “Therefore I hope in Him!” Lamentations 3:21-24 Indeed Our Father's Mercies are Great. While studying for a series some time back this servant had an amazing epiphany… a revelation even (pun intended). Today, this humbled servant would like to share this Beautiful Truth with each and every one of you, my Brothers and Sisters In Yeshua. We know that Yeshua, Our Savior Jesus, is The Beginning and The End. In Scripture, He describes Himself as The Aleph and The Tav. Due to the greek manuscripts and how our English translations are written, most are more familiar with The Alpha and The Omega. The Beginning and The End. While The Alpha and Omega are sufficient for beginners in The Bible, many dig further. My own research has led me to conclude that all The Scriptures were originally written and spoken in Hebrew. After all, the whole Book was given to, spoken by, and passed on from the Hebrew People. Yeshua Himself was Hebrew and He was speaking to Hebrews. Suffice to say, we can be pretty comfortable believing that when Our Savior Spoke these words, He was speaking Hebrew. Hence, what Yeshua said is "I Am The Aleph and The Tav.” This is where the revelation happened. For anyone not aware, all Hebrew letters have very dynamic and precise meanings. When a word in Hebrew is put together, the individual letter meanings not only give the word a more dynamic and concise meaning, but are always in agreement with the stand-alone word itself. Maybe this is why Our Father calls Hebrew a "Heavenly Language." With that said, let's take another look at what Our Savior declares Himself to be and the amazing confirmation of His Divinity in this statement. Let's take a look a a few different translations, including "The Scriptures 2009" which accurately translates Alpha and Omega as the Hebrew Aleph and Tav, the NKJV, and The Complete Jewish Bible: “And He said to me, “It is done! I Am The ‘Aleph’ and The ‘Tav’, The Beginning and The End. To the one who thirsts I shall give of the fountain of The Water of Life without payment.” Ḥazon (Revelation) 21:6 TS2009 “And He said to me, “It is done! I Am The ‘A’ and The ‘Z,’ The Beginning and The End. To anyone who is thirsty I Myself will give water free of charge from The Fountain of Life.” Revelation of Yeshua to Yochanan (Rev) 21:6 CJB “And He said to me, “It is done! I Am The Alpha and The Omega, The Beginning and The End. I will give of The Fountain of The Water of Life freely to him who thirsts.” Revelation 21:6 NKJV Now that we have read one of the verses where Our Messiah declares this statement. Let's take a look at the Hebrew Letters Aleph and Tav. Aleph is the beginning or 1st letter of the Hebrew Alphabet. In fact, the Hebrew Alphabet is called the Aleph-Bet. Not hard to see where we received our word "alphabet" is it? The Tav is the final or 22nd letter in the Hebrew Alphabet. The context to Our Savior's statement would have been understood by His Hebrew listeners, but for our sake I am sure, He finishes the sentence by clarifying "The Beginning and The End." As mentioned, all Hebrew Letters have individual, stand-alone, and dynamic meanings. The Aleph was originally communicated as a drawing, a bull's head, in ancient paleo form, and carries the meanings: STRENGTH, LEADER, TEACHER, or POWER. The Tav was originally communicated as a drawing, two crossed sticks, in ancient paleo form, and carries the meanings: MARK, SIGN, SIGNAL, SIGNATURE, MONUMENT, or TRUTH. With this information, let's take another look at what Our Messiah is telling us in Revelation 21:6 (also found in Revelation 1:8, 1:11, and 22:13). Keep in mind "I AM" or "YHVH" is the transliteration of The Name of God in The Old Testament. Everywhere we see "LORD" in The Old Testament of our Bibles is where YHVH (Yahweh in English) or I AM has been replaced with LORD. Now, here is a breakdown of Revelation 21:6 with the literal Hebrew Letter meanings. Jesus Said: It is done! I AM The LEADER and The COVENANT, the Beginning and the End. Or It is done! I AM The POWER and The SIGNATURE, the Beginning and the End. Or It is done! I AM The STRENGTH and The SIGN, the Beginning and the End. Or It is done! I AM The LEADER and The TRUTH, the Beginning and the End. How awesome is that?! I mean wow. Can Yeshua, Jesus Christ, The Savior of The Whole World, and God Himself say it any clearer? Jesus, Yeshua, Is God! He Is The LEADER (God) and The COVENANT (His Promise to us)! He Is Speaking To Us, and Revealing The Mystery of The Ages! HalleluYah! We serve a Mighty and Kind Father. In fact, just as He Tells Us, His Mercies Are New Each Morning! Let's conclude today with some witnesses from Our Father's Word and some parallel verses that only reenforce the fact that Yeshua, Our Savior Jesus Christ, and Our Father In Heaven, YHVH or Yahweh, are ONE. The Aleph and The Tav AKA The Leader and The Covenant AKA The Word of God: “Let all the nations be gathered together, And let the people be assembled. Who among them can declare this, And show us former things? Let them bring out their witnesses, that they may be justified; Or let them hear and say, “ It is Truth.” “You are My witnesses,” says The LORD (YHVH, Yahweh), “And My Servant whom I have chosen, That you may KNOW and BELIEVE ME, And UNDERSTAND that I AM HE. Before Me there was no God formed, Nor shall there be after Me. I, even I, am The LORD (YHWH, Yahweh), And BESIDES ME THERE IS NO SAVIOR. I have declared and saved, I have proclaimed, And there was no foreign god among you; Therefore you are My witnesses,” Says The LORD (YHVH, Yahweh), “that I AM GOD. Indeed before the day was, I AM HE; And there is no one who can deliver out of My Hand; I work, and who will reverse it?” Isaiah 43:9-13 NKJV “Listen to Me, O Jacob, And Israel, My called: I Am He, I Am The First, I Am also The Last.” Isaiah 48:12 NKJV “I am The Alpha and The Omega, The Beginning and The End, The First and The Last.” Revelation 22:13 NKJV “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 NKJV “And the servant said, ‘Master, it is done as you commanded, and still there is room.” Luke 14:22 NKJV “So I will make My Holy Name known in the midst of My people Israel, and I will not let them profane My Holy Name anymore. Then the nations shall know that I AM The LORD (YHVH, Yahweh), The Holy One in Israel. Surely it is coming, and it shall be done,” says The Lord (YHVH,Yahweh) GOD. “This is the day of which I have spoken.” Ezekiel 39:7-8 NKJV “I will praise You forever, Because You have done it; And in the presence of Your saints I will wait on Your Name, for it is good.” Psalms 52:9 NKJV Bonus Bread: Here is another little Golden Bible Nugget. Let’s isolate one of our Above translations of the text: “It is done! I AM The STRENGTH and The SIGN, The Beginning and The End.” Now, The Hebrew Word “Sign” is “OT,” pronounced OWTH. The pictorial Hebrew Paleo lets us know just Who The Sign is. How? Well, The Hebrew Word for sign is spelled with an Aleph, a Vav, and a Tav. The Pictorial Paleo for this is The Aleph and The Tav with The Vav right in between them. What is the pictorial symbol for the Vav you may ask? A Nail. The Word “Sign” in Paleo Hebrew is The Aleph and The Tav with a nail right in the middle! What!? Yeshua Is Our Sign! He Is... The Aleph and The Tav and He came down and bore a nail for us! THE ALEPH AND THE TAV!... GREAT ARE HIS MERCIES! God Bless Every One and May The Mighty Hand of Our Father, Who Is Salvation, Who Is Risen, Who Is The Aleph and The Tav and Who Bore A Nail for us, Lift Each and Every One of You on The Other Side of This Screen Up Into His Eternal Salvation! Please leave any questions, comments, insights, Biblical Nuggets, encouragement, prayer requests, or thoughts in the comments below. Good Morning Mighty Messiah Monday (Counting of The Omer Day 15)....
Father thank You for this NEW day. As You walk with us today, keep us focused on Your TRUTH, help us to truly consider what You have done for us through Yeshua, and continue to fill our HEARTS & MINDS with Your PEACE… so there may be no room for fear or doubt. IN YESHUA, JESUS CHRIST’s Mighty Name we pray. Amen! - 2023: Once Again… Consider This (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 For You, And… The Whole World. Consider That He Understands Everything… And That He Has ALL The Answers. Consider That God Our Father Tells Us He Is Coming To Us In The Book of Isaiah, And Then He Does It In The Books of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. He Told Us It Would Be Him… Consider That. 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 Yeshua Is King, And Commander of The Angel Armies of Heaven. Consider That Yeshua Tells Us, If We Want An Unbelievable Miracle In Our Lives, We Need Only BELIEVE. Consider that the only people Yeshua ever chastises in The Bible are "religious authorities.” Consider that He Has Fulfilled every single prophecy in The Bible about His Birth, Life, Death, and Resurrection. He Is Fulfilling all the rest now… 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 “He is THE Propitiation For Our Sins, and not for ours only but ALSO For The Sins of The Whole World.” 1 John 2:2 “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 “You are My witnesses,” declares The LORD (YHVH, Yahweh), “and My Servant whom I have chosen, so that you may consider and believe Me and understand that I AM HE. Before Me no god was formed, and after Me none will come. I, yes I, AM THE LORD (YHVH, Yahweh), and there is no Savior but Me. I alone decreed and saved and proclaimed— I, and not some foreign god among you. So you are My witnesses,” declares THE LORD (YHVH, Yahweh) “that I AM God. Even from eternity I AM HE, and none can deliver out of My Hand. When I act, who can reverse it?” Isaiah 43:10-13 “Jesus therefore answered and said to them, “Do not murmur among yourselves. No one can come to Me unless The Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up at The Last Day. It is written in the prophets, ‘And they shall all be taught by God.’ Therefore everyone who has heard and learned from The Father comes to Me. Not that anyone has seen The Father, except He who is from God; He has seen The Father. Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me has Everlasting Life. I Am The Bread of Life.” John 6:43-48 “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 Please leave any questions, comments, insights, Biblical Nuggets, encouragement, prayer requests, or thoughts in the comments below. Good Morning Mighty-King-Saving-Sunday (Counting of The Omer Day 14)....
FATHER GOD, it’s IN YOUR PRESENCE that WE FIND JOY! You are so kind to us, and YOUR COMPASSION AND MERCY PURSUE US relentlessly. There is NOTHING that ESCAPES YOU, and there’s NOTHING we can do that SCARES YOU away. You are constantly inviting us to communion. ABBA, help us as WE SEEK YOU, AND help us to fully ACCEPT YOU. THANK YOU for never giving up on us, Your children. Today, WE want to PURSUE AND CONSIDER YOU! Help us in this Father, for we are helpless without You. IN YESHUA HA’MASHIACH, JESUS CHRIST’s Name we pray. AMEN! - 2023: Once Again… 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 Has Never Been Wrong... About Anything… Ever. 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.

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 Please leave any questions, comments, insights, Biblical Nuggets, encouragement, prayer requests, or thoughts in the comments below. Good Morning Sabbath Peace...
Father Thank You for Your REST. Thank You for Your Day. Help us to “see” You in all things, the challenges and the triumphs. Please give us PEACE ON THIS Your SABBATH DAY, and help to increase our FAITH. IN YESHUA Ha'Mashiach, JESUS CHRIST OUR MIGHTY MESSIAH AND LORD OF THE SABBATH’s Name we pray. AMEN! - Praising Like David On The Sabbath Have you ever wondered what it was about David that made Our Father choose him? Of course we know he was "a man after God's own heart," and of course Our Father knows all of things we don't, but what was it? What was David doing out in the wilderness as he tended sheep that caught God's attention? I would propose... there was much praise being lifted up to Our Father out there in the desert of Judaea. I would also propose... it had a lot to do with obedience. As we will read today, David looked up at the sky from just outside Bethlehem and praised God. David defeated a lion and praised God. David defeated a bear and praised God. David woke up each morning and praised God. David praised Our Father relentlessly. Just as a young child will run around the playground at school saying "my dad can beat up your dad," David "boasted in The LORD" (See Scripture Reference Below) and it was pleasing to Our Father. The difference between David and the young child on the playground is, David was 100% correct. Evidence of this is when David showed up as a fifteen year old boy and defeated the uncircumcised philistine giant Goliath. He knew who God was and he proclaimed it. He knew that if God be for him, no one could stand against him (See Scripture Reference Below). As we read psalm 8 today, may we all aspire to meditate on Our Father's Love as David did. May we all meditate on how to become people after God's own heart. Finally, may we all praise Our Father in Heaven with joy, humble spirits, and an open heart. If we do this we can be assured... Our Father will take notice. As we celebrate Our Father’s Holy Sabbath today, let us all think about how we can become closer, more obedient, and be more fruitful in showing The Love of Our Father to a world that is getting harder to navigate everyday. Let us meditate on Psalm 8 and praise Him Who Is Above All Others in The Spirit of “the man after God's own heart." God bless every one and have a Wonderful Father-and-Son-Praising-Day! The Word of God as written by His servant David: “Yahweh (YHWH, LORD), our Lord, how majestic is Your Name in all the earth, who put Your Splendor above the heavens. From the mouth of children and infants You have founded strength on account of Your enemies, to silence the enemy and the avenger. When I look at Your Heavens, the work of Your Fingers, the moon and the stars which You set in place— what is a human being that You think of him? and a child of humankind that You care for him? And You made him a little lower than heavenly beings, and with glory and with majesty You crowned him. You make him over the works of Your hands; all things You have placed under his feet: sheep and cattle, all of them, and also the wild animals of the field, the birds of the sky and the fish of the sea, everything that passes along the paths of seas. Yahweh, our Lord, how majestic is Your Name in all of the earth!” Psalms 8:1-9 Extra Fuel For The Soul: “What then shall we say about these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? Indeed, He who did not spare His Own Son, but gave Him up for us all, how will He not also, together with Him, freely give us all things? Who will bring charges against God’s Elect? God is The One Who Justifies. Who is the one who condemns? Christ is The One who died, and more than that, Who was raised, Who is also at The Right Hand of God, Who also intercedes for us. Who will separate us from The Love of Christ? Will affliction or distress or persecution or hunger or lack of sufficient clothing or danger or the sword?” Romans 8:31-35 “But “the one who boasts, let him boast in The LORD.” For it is not the one commending himself who is approved, but the one whom The LORD commends.” 2 Corinthians 10:17-18 “Praise Yah. Praise God in His Sanctuary; praise Him in His Mighty Firmament. Praise Him for His Mighty Deeds; praise Him according to the abundance of His Greatness. Praise Him with blast of horn; praise Him with harp and lyre. Praise Him with tambourine and dancing; praise Him with strings and flute. Praise Him with sounding cymbals; praise Him with clashing cymbals. Every breathing thing, let it praise Yah. Praise Yah.” Psalms 150:1-6 May God Bless Each and everyone of you on the other side of this screen. Happy Sabbath and Shabbat Shalom Everybody! Good Morning Faith-Building Friday (Counting Of The Omer Day 12)....
Thank you Father for this NEW DAY! Today,“(we will) trust in You Father with all (our) hearts and lean not on (our) own understanding; in all (our) ways (we will) acknowledge (You), and (You) shall direct (our) paths” (Proverbs 3:5-6). May we choose to follow Our Father and Savior in Faith today! In Yeshua, Jesus Christ's Name we pray. Amen! Good morning Brothers and Sisters, I pray you all are having a wonderful beginning to your day. Doing a lot of reflecting on Passover recently and was thinking how important it is that we considered these amazing festivals of Our Father and the implications they have for us. With that said, to get to the place where we do consider The Things if Our Father often and clearly, we must first consider The One who made all these things possible, The King, Yeshua Ha’Mashiach, Jesus The Christ. That brings us to today’s devotion. It is one that this servant believes has to be shared yearly, for… how can we know The Things of Our Father if we don’t know The Purpose and Power of His Word, His Son, The Only Mediator Between God and Mankind. The answer… we can’t. So today, may we all CONSIDER Our King Yeshua, Jesus Christ, and everything He has done. I encourage anyone who is currently ministering, witnessing, or doing the work of a missionary to share this with those you are witnessing to, for these are the thoughts that spark Life. Grace and Peace to each of you on the other side of this screen, and may God Our Father and Savior Bless each and everyone of you who reads this today, and… all who don’t. Shalom everyone and have a Magnificent-Considerate-Yeshua-Filled Day! - Once Again, Consider This...
