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 Your Word andThe Words of Your Son, please give us wisdom. We ask this so we may show Your Glory. In Yeshua, Jesus Christ's Name. Amen. - Trust and Peace When we finally put our trust in Our Father and Yeshua, Jesus Christ, our lives become much less complicated and much more full of Peace. This is a real life application, but we must believe what God is telling us for it to work. God's Word tells us this over and over. Today let's look at God's Word and take a look at how Our Father Communicates this in a few of His Verses. As we read these verses, may we all believe what God Almighty, Yahweh Yeshua Ha'Mashiach, God Our Father and His Son Yeshua, Jesus Christ, are telling us. May it bring Peace, because our Trust is in the right One. God Bless Everyone and May The Peace of God cover you all on this wonderful day He Has Made For Us All. God's Word, 7 Verses for Trust and Peace: “Trust in The LORD (YHWH, Yahweh) with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.” Proverbs 3:5-6 “But those who wait on The LORD (YHWH, Yahweh) Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint.” Isaiah 40:31 “Fear not, for I Am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.” Isaiah 41:10 “Behold, I am The LORD (YHWH, Yahweh), the God of all flesh. Is there anything too hard for Me?” Jeremiah 32:27 “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Philippians 4:13 “And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:19 “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. Or what man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent? If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him! Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.” Matthew 7:7-12

Good Morning Friday...
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. - God Our Father Will Make His Face... Shine Upon You “The LORD (YHWH, Yahweh) make His face shine upon you, And be gracious to you;” Numbers 6:25 The Scriptures are full of expressions and illustrations that point to God Our Father Being Not Only A Completely Divine Being, But Also A Person. This is something that might be easy to forget, after all He Is The Creator Of All Things. His Word Speaks About His Face, Hands, Heart, Eyes, Among Other Parts Of The Body. If we observed Our Mighty God's Face I believe we could see His Expressions and They Would Quickly Tell Us His Judgements, Thoughts, and would be connotative of His Emotions. Our Father Desires A Relationship With Us. A relationship that involves fellowship, communion, and an exchange of intimacy. Just look at Yeshua, Jesus Christ, His Son and all the time spent in solitude with God Our Father, or Moses and the intimate relationship he had with Our Father. Think about it: Why did God Go To Such Lengths Pursuing Us and Sending His Only Son? He was opening THE WAY for us to have intimacy with Him! Our Father wants a two-way relationship with us. His Instructions, Commands, and Precepts Are Perfect and Yeshua, Jesus Christ, not only made these things clear for us, but also clarified all the confusion the corrupt pharisees had caused with them. God Almighty Gave Us THE WAY to sustain and foster an intimate and loving relationship with Him. Many places in The Bible, God's Word, we are encouraged to "Seek The Face" of God Our Father. Just take a look at the first and greatest commandment in Deuteronomy 6 and confirmed by Yeshua in Mark 12 : “Hear, O Israel: The LORD (YHWH, Yahweh) our God, The LORD (YHWH, Yahweh) is One! You shall love The LORD (YHWH, Yahweh) your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength.” Deuteronomy 6:4-5 “Jesus answered him, “The first of all the commandments is: ‘Hear, O Israel, The LORD (YHWH, Yahweh) our God, The LORD (YHWH, Yahweh) is One. And you shall love The LORD (YHWH, Yahweh) 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 So we see from the very first commandment Our Heavenly Father is telling us He Desires to have a relationship, communion, and intimacy with His Children. Today as we go about our day, may we all accept and embrace the fact that The One True God, Our Heavenly Father, and The Almighty Creator of All Things wants us, Loves us, and desires to spend time with us! That is AMAZING! May we all turn to Him, obey, and choose Him so that He Makes "His Face Shine Upon You." God Bless Everyone and have a wonderful God-Filled Sabbath and Weekend! The Word of God, The Word of Truth, and A Blessing For You: “The LORD (YHWH, Yahweh) bless you and keep you; The LORD (YHWH, Yahweh) make His Face shine upon you, And be gracious to you; The LORD (YHWH, Yahweh) lift up His Countenance upon you, And give you peace.” Numbers 6:24-26 “When You said, “Seek My face,” My heart said to You, “Your face, LORD (YHWH, Yahweh), I will seek.” Do not hide Your face from me; Do not turn Your servant away in anger; You have been my help; Do not leave me nor forsake me, O God of my salvation. When my father and my mother forsake me, Then The LORD (YHWH, Yahweh) will take care of me.” Psalms 27:8-10 “I would have lost heart, unless I had believed That I would see the goodness of The LORD (YHWH, Yahweh) In the land of the living. Wait on The LORD (YHWH, Yahweh); Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on The LORD (YHWH, Yahweh)!” Psalms 27:13-14 Good Morning Thursday...
Our Father Who Art In Heaven, please take Your day and use us, Your humble servants, for Your Good and Perfect Will. Father give us the Grace and Peace Only found in You and Your Son Jesus Christ, Our King and Messiah. We ask this in Yeshua, Jesus Christ Name. Amen. - God Will Keep You... Always “The LORD (YHWH or YAHWEH) Bless You and Keep You” Numbers 6:24 NKJV When we think of the word "Keep," most likely we draw on the meaning in terms of obeying and keeping the commandments, but really it more closely aligns with the definition of "guarding." In ancient days a shepherd would build a stone fence hedged with thorns around his sheep to protect them from predators and thieves. The Shepherd would use stones to fashion a wall and then thorns would be placed round-about the top protecting from predators such as wolves. What an awesome picture, right? The Lord, YHWH, Yahweh, or Our Heavenly Father, Kind and Loving, is giving us a message in The Scripture above. He is telling us that He Will Place A Hedge of Protection around us. He will hem us in with thorns so the enemy or any predators can't get to us. This Priestly Blessing that the verse above is drawn from, or The Aaronic Blessing, with the Divine Embrace of Our Heavenly Father, He uses His Blessing to instantly deliver us from the enemies attacks. Whether the enemy attacks us through others, spiritual oppression, or in some cases possession, Our Father's Blessing has the power to deliver us instantly. He is The Shepherd and when He Builds A Hedge... No one can penetrate it. Being in Our Father YHWH's arms is compared to being in a "thorny hedge" of protection. The enemy and his demons can never and will never break the security of Our Father's Arms. He used Yeshua, Jesus to tell us "it is finished (John 19:30)." He Already Won and the enemy is already defeated. We are protected from all things. Why? Because when we choose to follow God, He Gladly, Lovingly, and Mercifully Accepts Us. We are His spiritual children because of what Yeshua Ha'Mashiach, Jesus Christ Our Savior did on The Cross. May we take this Blessing with us today and know that when we choose God, Our Savior, and His Ways, guarding His Commandments, He Will Guard Us As The Ultimate, Fearless Warrior-Shepherd That He Is. God Bless Everyone. Praying you all had a wonderful God-Filled week so far and it moves along into a wonderful God-Filled Weekend. The Word of God and A Blessing For You: “The LORD bless you and keep you; The LORD make His face shine upon you, And be gracious to you; The LORD lift up His countenance upon you, And give you peace.” Numbers 6:24-26 “What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written: “For Your sake we are killed all day long; We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.” Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 8:31-39 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. - How To Begin To Heal Our Souls and Forgive...With Love. It can be a very challenging experience when someone sins against us. It seems that we all are born with a natural tendency to want to talk about that person and solicit sympathy for ourselves. But what does God's Word say about this? Let's check in: “And above all things have fervent love for one another, for “love will cover a multitude of sins.” I Peter 4:8 NKJV “Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away.” I Corinthians 13:4-10 NKJV “Hatred stirs up strife, But love covers all sins.” Proverbs 10:12 NKJV Love covers sin. Love sees past sin. Love shows Grace and Mercy, and it does this in the Light of Yeshua, Jesus Christ Our Savior Who Sacrificed Himself Because Of Our Sin Against Him. If Our Father Loves Us enough to send His One And Only Son to take care of our many sins, shouldn't we be more willing to look past someone else's sin knowing all the things in which we are forgiven through Yeshua, Jesus Our Savior? When we apply such godliness to our own lives and relationships it guards our deceitful hearts against gossip, and against the ever so subtle bitterness that can creep into our lives. May we all search our minds and hearts to see if we find anyone in whom we have reoccurring negative thoughts due to a bad experience. This may be difficult to ponder on, but we need only look at the sins we have committed against Our God and Father and have been forgiven through Yeshua Our Savior to understand How To Begin To Heal Our Souls and Forgive...With Love. Prayer: Dear Father God, help us to never lose sight of what we have been forgiven in Yeshua, Christ Jesus Our Savior. Please help open our hearts and minds to understand all that You do for us. With this understanding help us to grant others forgiveness and allow You To Heal And Lead Our Lives. We Praise You, Bless You, Love You, and Thank You. In Your Mighty Son Yeshua, Jesus Christ's Name We Pray. Amen. Good Morning Tuesday...
Thank you Father for this NEW day. Please continue to fill our Hearts & Minds with Your Truth, Love, & Patience. Thank you for Loving us so much! In Yeshua, Jesus Christ Name, Amen. A big Thank You to Brother Larry Good for today’s devotion. - Our Father Grows Us 1 Step At A Time “then, so far as your former way of life is concerned, you must strip off your old nature, because your old nature is thoroughly rotted by its deceptive desires; and you must let your spirits and minds keep being renewed, and clothe yourselves with the new nature created to be godly, which expresses itself in the righteousness and holiness that flow from the truth.” Ephesians (Eph) 4:22-24 CJB Although God could instantly transform us, he has chosen to develop us slowly. Jesus was deliberate in developing his disciples, just as God allowed the Israelites to take over the Promised Land “little by little” so they wouldn’t be overwhelmed (see Deuteronomy 7:22). He prefers to work in incremental steps in our lives. Why does it take so long to change and grow up? There are several reasons: · We are slow learners. We often have to relearn a lesson 40 or 50 times to really get it. The problems keep recurring, and we think, “Not again! I’ve already learned that!” But God knows better. The history of Israel illustrates how quickly we forget the lessons God teaches us and how soon we revert to our old patterns of behavior. We need repeated exposure. · We have a lot to unlearn. Since most of our problems — and all of our bad habits — didn’t develop overnight, it’s unrealistic to expect them go away immediately. There is no pill, prayer, or principle that will instantly undo the damage of many years. It requires the hard work of removal and replacement. The Bible calls it “taking off the old self” and “putting on the new self” (Romans 13:12; Ephesians 4:22-24; Colossians 3:7-10, 14). · Growth is often painful and scary. There is no growth without change, there is no change without fear or loss, and there is no loss without pain. Every change involves a loss of some kind. We fear these losses, even if our old ways were self-defeating, because, like a worn-out pair of shoes, they were at least comfortable and familiar. · Good habits take time to develop. Remember that your character is the sum total of your habits. You can’t claim to be kind unless you are habitually kind. Your habits define your character. There is only one way to develop the habits of Christlike character: You must practice them — and that takes time! There are no instant habits. Paul urged Timothy,“Be diligent about this work, throw yourself into it, so that your progress may be clear to everyone.” 1 Timothy (1 Ti) 4:15 CJB Something To Think About...Something To Ask About... Something To Pray About... •Why do you think God allows us to go through pain and loss while we are growing spiritually? •What is a bad habit that you’ve had trouble changing? How is God helping you with this right now in your life? •What one thing do you need to practice doing every day so that you are developing more Christlike character? Good Morning Monday...
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 9) 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... A Crown of Glory and A Diadem of Beauty; “In that day The LORD of hosts will be For A CROWN OF GLORY AND A DIADEM OF BEAUTY To the remnant of His people,” Isaiah 28:5 NKJV “In that day, Yahweh of hosts will become a garland of glory and a diadem of beauty to the remnant of his people,” Isaiah 28:5 LEB He Is... A Stone, A Tested Stone, A Tried Stone, A Precious Cornerstone, A Sure/Founded Foundation; “Therefore thus says The Lord GOD: “Behold, I lay in Zion A STONE for a foundation, A TRIED STONE, A PRECIOUS CORNERSTONE, A SURE FOUNDATION; Whoever believes will not act hastily.” Isaiah 28:16 NKJV “Therefore The Lord Yahweh says this: “Look! I am laying A STONE in Zion, A TESTED STONE, A PRECIOUS CORNERSTONE, A FOUNDED FOUNDATION: ‘The one who trusts will not panic.’” Isaiah 28:16 LEB He Is... A Cover From The Tempest, As Rivers of Water In A Dry Place, As The Shadow of A Great Rock In A Weary Land, A Hiding Place From The Wind; “A man will be as A HIDING PLACE FROM THE WIND, And A COVER FROM THE TEMPEST, AS RIVERS OF WATER IN A DRY PLACE, AS THE SHADOW OF A GREAT ROCK IN A WEARY LAND.” Isaiah 32:2 NKJV He Is... The King In His Beauty; “Your eyes will see THE KING IN HIS BEAUTY; they will see a distant land.” Isaiah 33:17 LEB “Thine eyes shall see THE KING IN HIS BEAUTY: they shall behold a land that reacheth afar.” Isaiah 33:17 ASV He Is... My Leader, A Shepherd; “He shall feed His flock like A SHEPHERD: He shall gather the lambs with His Arm, and carry them in His Bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young.” Isaiah 40:11 KJV “HE IS like A SHEPHERD feeding His Flock, gathering His Lambs with His Arm, carrying them against His Chest, gently leading the mother sheep.” Isaiah 40:11 CJB He Is... The Everlasting God; “Have you not known? Have you not heard? THE EVERLASTING GOD, The Lord (YHWH, Yahweh), The Creator of the ends of the earth, does not faint or grow weary; there is no searching of His Understanding.” Isaiah 40:28 AMPC “Have you not known, or have you not heard? YAHWEH IS THE GOD OF ETERNITY, The Creator of the ends of the earth! He Is not faint, and He does not grow weary! There is no searching His Understanding.” Isaiah 40:28 LEB Good Morning Sunday...
Father Thank You for another BLESSED DAY. Thank You for Your ETERNAL PROMISES. Thank You for giving us so many reasons to REJOICE IN the HOPE that is Your Son YESHUA, JESUS CHRIST. Praise You and Bless You in Yeshua, Jesus Christ Name. Amen! - What Are The Prophets Saying? (Zechariah) There are so many times I have found myself discouraged, confused, or frustrated and wasn't sure where to turn in The Bible to find an answer to my woes. Almost without exception, wherever I turned in The Word to find my answer, whether I started in The Gospel or Genesis, I usually ended up at The Prophets. The prophets have not only a wealth of prophecy, amazing stories of triumph, encouragement, and wonderful messages for us all as a Christian Family, but they also contain a wealth of messages for each and everyone of us personally. This is literally The Almighty Father Speaking To Us! Just as Jesus Himself Spoke, so too did The Prophets Speak His Word🔥. Our Father and Yeshua, Jesus Christ, so loved us that He never stopped sending loyal servants, again and again, to give all of us together, and individually, messages over and over. Remember the Parable of the Vineyard Owner (Matt 21:33-46)? The Master sent His Servants, which the people beat or killed (Prophets), then The Master Sends His Son (Yeshua, Jesus) thinking the people renting his land will be more amiable... they weren't. In fact, they killed Him thinking that they would receive "the inheritance." Does this story sound familiar or what? Our Savior Was, Is, and Always Will Be The Smartest Person Of All Time. For this reason...these parables, and The Word of God Spoken Through The Prophets, should be carefully studied. Within this Ancient Wise Parable that Yeshua Spoke, we find The Prophets of God (Servants) came before He (The Master) Sent His Son. With that in mind, let us take a look today at what Zechariah, A Prophet of Yahweh (YHWH or God), God Himself, and Our Savior were trying to relay to "all of us" and "each of us" in today's Scriptures. Prayer: Dear Heavenly Father, we humbly come before you today to receive Your Word and Your Message. As we read passages from Your Servant Zechariah, please open our hearts and minds to what you are trying to tell us as a group, and what you are saying to us individually. You are Mighty Father and we know You Have Sent To Us, In Your Word, Messages of Encouragement, Discipline, Reconciliation, Salvation, and Love for Your Children. And we thank You! Let us come before You today as Your Children and enjoy Our Daily Bread With You, Abba. We Love You And Praise You Father. In Yeshua, Jesus Christ Mighty Name We Pray. Amen! The Word of God: The Book of Zechariah The Prophet of God: “Yahweh was very angry with your ancestors. You must say to them: ‘Thus says Yahweh of hosts: “Return to Me,” declares Yahweh of Hosts, “and I will return to you,” says Yahweh of Hosts. Do not be like your ancestors, to whom the former prophets proclaimed, saying, ‘Thus says Yahweh of Hosts: “Return from your evil ways and your evil deeds!” ’ But they did not hear and they did not pay attention to Me,” declares Yahweh. Zechariah 1:2-4 LEB “Proclaim again, saying, ‘Thus says Yahweh of Hosts: “My cities shall again overflow from prosperity, and Yahweh will comfort Zion again, and He will choose Jerusalem again.” Zechariah 1:17 LEB “And he answered and said to me, “This is The Word of Yahweh to Zerubbabel, saying, ‘Not by strength and not by power, but only by My Spirit,’ says Yahweh of Hosts.” Zechariah 4:6 LEB “Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout, O daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your King is coming to you; He is just and having salvation, Lowly and riding on a donkey, A colt, the foal of a donkey.” Zechariah 9:9 NKJV “And I will pour on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem the Spirit of grace and supplication; then they will look on Me whom they pierced. Yes, they will mourn for Him as one mourns for His Only Son, and grieve for Him as one grieves for a Firstborn.” Zechariah 12:10 NKJV “And then on that day, living waters will flow out from Jerusalem, half of them to the eastern sea, and the other half to the western sea; it will happen both in the summer and in the winter. And Yahweh will be King over all the earth; on that day Yahweh will be One and His Name One.” Zechariah 14:8-9 LEB “Return to the fortress, O prisoners of hope; today I Am declaring that I will repay you double. For I have bent Judah as my bow; I have set Ephraim as an arrow. I will set in motion your sons, O Zion, against your sons, O Javan. I will wield you like the sword of a warrior. Then Yahweh will appear over them, and His arrow will go forth like lightning; and my Lord Yahweh will blow the trumpet, and He shall go out in the storm winds of the south. Yahweh of Hosts will defend them, and they will devour and subdue the slingstones; they will drink, they will make noise like wine, and they will be full like the sacrificial basin, drenched like the corners of an altar. And Yahweh their God will save them on that day, as the flock of His people; for they are like the stones of a diadem, glittering on his land. For how Great is His Goodness, and how Great is His Beauty! Grain will make the young men thrive, and new wine the young women.” Zechariah 9:12-17 LEB Good Morning Sabbath....
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 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. 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. 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 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 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, 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: “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 “But He answered and said, “I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” Matthew 15:24 Good Morning Friday.......
Thank You Father for this NEW DAY! Help us to live aware, to choose wisely, to stay close to You, and anchored in Your Truth! Thank You for your Great Love and Mercy, thank You that You Wait For Us, and You Strengthen Us. We come to You today, choosing to walk in Your Presence and Light! In Yeshua, Jesus’s Christ’s Name we pray. Amen! -Truth Truth. The First Piece in The Full Armor of God. Our Savior. Our King. Our Salvation. Our Protection. Our Freedom. Our Awakening. Truth is a must for us as believers. To be able to test a thing and prove it by God Himself is quite a privilege! If we are not to test everything against The Truth, it is completely possible for any of us to start living a lie. Our enemy is a liar, the father of lies, and only seeks to steal, kill, and destroy. How do we fight against the lies, stealing, killing, and destroying of the evil one? TRUTH! 🙌 Yeshua Ha'Mashiach, Jesus Christ Our Savior! The Word Of God! Let us this morning look at 8 Verses Our Father Gives Us About His Truth. He Wants Us To Have It...To Feast Upon It. And, To grow in our discernment... We Must Have It. Behold Israel! The Word of Truth: “Sanctify them by Your Truth. Your Word is Truth.” John 17:17 “And you shall know The Truth, and The Truth shall make you free.” John 8:32 “For we can do nothing against The Truth, but for The Truth.” II Corinthians 13:8 ““Have I not written to you excellent things Of counsels and knowledge, That I may make you know the certainty of the words of Truth, That you may answer words of Truth To those who send to you?” Proverbs 22:20-21 “These are the things you shall do: Speak each man The Truth to his neighbor; Give judgment in your gates for Truth, justice, and peace;” Zechariah 8:16 “I have not written to you because you do not know The Truth, but because you know it, and that no lie is of TheTruth.” I John 2:21 “Stand therefore, having girded your waist with Truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness,” Ephesians 6:14 “Jesus said to him, “I am The Way, The Truth, and The Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” John 14:6 Good Morning Thursday......
Father thank You for this NEW DAY! As we rise to meet this new day, please let us be filled with Your Spirit. Wherever we go, let us SPREAD LOVE, JOY, PEACE, GOODNESS, and FAITHFULNESS. Let us desire to become more like You and to worship You IN ALL WE DO. Help us desire these things so much more than the sin that entices us. In Yeshua, Jesus Christ's Name we pray. Amen. - Talents of Truth When we look into the parable of the talents there are a few things to observe: 1.) Everything belongs to the Master 2.) The talents given to the servants are not their own. 3.) The talents the servants earn is not theirs to keep 4.) The servant who did not use his talent wisely had it all taken from him. We can see the servants are merely stewards for The Master and what The Master looks to see is the quality, increase, and effort of their service. We all as children of The Kingdom of God have a responsibility to use our talents for the benefits of others. We must honor Our Father In Heaven with our talents and not become disillusioned by the enemy to believe they are only for our own selfish needs. When we understand that, because of the curse of sin, the work we do will be difficult, we seek Him for the "easy yoke (Matthew 11:30)." Our Father gave us His Son, the easy yoke, placement in His Family, and all the tools needed to succeed in honoring Him and serving others. We can gain the most satisfaction out of this life if we but join Him and find joy in doing our best for Him. We can do this no matter the situation in which we currently reside. Let's take a look at 1 Peter and see what our Brother and Apostle of Yeshua, Jesus Christ says about this: “As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. If anyone speaks, let him speak as the oracles of God. If anyone ministers, let him do it as with the ability which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.” I Peter 4:10-11 NKJV We live in a culture where far too many people who call themselves christians think that their talents simply exist to make a lot of money and "live the good life." But God tells us He Gave Us Talents To Benefit Others, not ourselves. Something for all of us to keep in mind is, God gave many other people talents as well and daily we benefit from them. If we keep that thought in mind, maybe it will help us to "pay it forward" more often. If we ever need an example of The Perfect Use Of Talents, we need only look at Our Savior. Yeshua, Jesus Christ, Used His Talents For Everyone and John tells us that if he were to write down all those uses... every book in the entire world couldn't contain them (John 21:25). Jesus Models Stewardship Like No Other, Even Giving His Very Life For Us. If we ever are in doubt of the use of our talents, we need only turn to The Truth, Yeshua Ha'Mashiach, Jesus Christ Himself, and be reminded of how we are to use them... selflessly. Prayer: Dear Father God, please cover us in Your Grace, Truth, and help us to always strive to be faithful stewards of Your Calling. You have given us so much by way of opportunity and providence to Glorify You. Help us to use those opportunities, and Your Providence of placement, to serve the common good and further Your Kingdom. Bless You and Praise You. We love you and we pray these things in Your Son's Holy Name Jesus Christ, Yeshua Ha'Mashiach. Amen. The Word of God: “For the kingdom of heaven is like a man traveling to a far country, who called his own servants and delivered his goods to them. And to one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one, to each according to his own ability; and immediately he went on a journey. Then he who had received the five talents went and traded with them, and made another five talents. And likewise he who had received two gained two more also. But he who had received one went and dug in the ground, and hid his lord’s money. After a long time the lord of those servants came and settled accounts with them. “So he who had received five talents came and brought five other talents, saying, ‘Lord, you delivered to me five talents; look, I have gained five more talents besides them.’ His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.’ He also who had received two talents came and said, ‘Lord, you delivered to me two talents; look, I have gained two more talents besides them.’ His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.’ “Then he who had received the one talent came and said, ‘Lord, I knew you to be a hard man, reaping where you have not sown, and gathering where you have not scattered seed. And I was afraid, and went and hid your talent in the ground. Look, there you have what is yours.’ “But his lord answered and said to him, ‘You wicked and lazy servant, you knew that I reap where I have not sown, and gather where I have not scattered seed. So you ought to have deposited my money with the bankers, and at my coming I would have received back my own with interest. Therefore take the talent from him, and give it to him who has ten talents. ‘For to everyone who has, more will be given, and he will have abundance; but from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken away. And cast the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” Matthew 25:14-30 |
