Good Morning Monday...
Father Thank You for this NEW DAY. Please help us today to bring glory to YOUR NAME. Help us to understand YOUR WILL. Help us to understand YOUR SON and OUR CALLING. In YESHUA, JESUS CHRIST’s Name we pray. Amen. - And All These Things Shall Be Added To... Us! When we come to truly know Yeshua, Jesus Christ Our Savior, something changes. Our lives change, our priorities are monumentally changed, we see things different, and we now have new influences. Our relationships with God and man change and we now make decisions with God Our Father in mind. Our Savior is on our mind... all the time. Through this change we gain Life, and "Life More Abundantly." We experience a Peace like we never have before. For the first time, when we come to Christ, we learn what Living is really all about, and we receive "eyes" to see who and what the enemy is doing. “The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.” John 10:10 Gaining fame, money, status, having loss, and former disappointments are considered nothing or "rubbish" when seen next to knowing The Truth, Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. When we finally wake up and unwrap God's Gift of His Son's Faithfulness, Grace, Mercy, Help, and His Purpose, they bring rich meaning to our lives in a completely new way we have never experienced. Paul definitely experienced this. Let's take a look: “Yet indeed I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ” Philippians 3:8 Paul, like us, woke up. He cherished knowing Our Savior more than anything else in his life and he constantly reaffirms this in what he writes. He was willing to go through torture, imprisonment, insults, and whatever other harsh treatment he had to, and gladly, if it brought him closer to Our King Yeshua, Jesus Christ. Paul was submissive and tolerant of his struggles because he knew these trials built him up spiritually and each time he understood more that experiencing these trials helped him to understand the completeness Yeshua offers in every situation. Paul puts it like this: “Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content: I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound. Everywhere and in all things I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Philippians 4:11-13 Paul valued Living and "Living More Abundantly." Paul valued knowing Our Messiah and that is what Paul Lived for. All the difficult times, struggles, and persecution that Paul faced, he faced with resolve because he knew The Gift Of God, Our Messiah. He knew whatever tough things he may have to face in life would only bring him closer to The Savior of The Whole World. Remember, Our Savior is close to the broken hearted. Maybe you are going through some suffering currently, maybe you are in a fight with temptation, and maybe you are having a tough time with your faith. Whatever it may be, know that these struggles are always a way to know Our Savior and God in a very personal way. There is one thing you can be sure of through each and every struggle, God Our Father and Yeshua, Jesus Christ, Love You. While Our Father doesn't like sin, He Loves Us Sinners Anyway, and He Is Constantly Working To Help Us Remove that sin so He can be even closer fo us. He Will Give You Strength to carry on, fight, and conquer the temptations, sins, and struggles in each of our lives. Like Paul, each of us has the choice to lay all our disappointments, struggles, and doubts at the foot of Our Savior. May we never be led astray from the fact that God Our Father's Promises Are Sure...Iron Clad. Our Father has opened our spiritual eyes and if we but look, listen, and set our hearts on Him, He Reveals things to us in unbelievable, heartwarming, wonderful, and unexpected ways. This world may offer a lot of things, but it is all garbage compared with a real and ever growing relationship with The Truth, The King, and Our Almighty Father. In this relationship is where we find our "treasure" and if we but "seek first the kingdom of God and His Righteousness," then we can be assured... "All These Things Shall Be Added To ...Us!" HalleluYah!!! “in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.” Colossians 2:3 “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.” Matthew 6:33

Good Morning Sunday.......
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, Jesus Christ's Name we PRAY. Amen. - A Prayer To Start The Week Dear Heavenly Father, You are... The Giver Of All Blessings. You reside in heaven and are Above All. We thank You for being a kind and merciful Father. Please be with us and guide us as we go through our week. Forgive us for our sins against you Father and deliver us from our remaining carnal nature. Help us to forgive others as you forgive us. Create in us clean hearts Father and let us serve you in a manner that is pleasing to you. Your Kingdom Will Endure Forever and we long to be with You. We ask that you feed us Father. Feed us with Your Food Father, the food Your Son told our Brothers, the disciples, that they did not "know about" when Yeshua was at the well with the Samaritan Woman. Finally Father, lead us not into temptation and deliver us from the evil one. Yours Is The Kingdom, Power, and Glory Abba, Forever and Ever. In Your Mighty Son Yeshua, Jesus Christ's Name We Pray these things. Amen. Extra Fuel For The Soul AKA Manna From Heaven AKA The Word of The Most High: “In the meantime His disciples urged Him, saying, “Rabbi, eat.” But He said to them, “I have food to eat of which you do not know.” Therefore the disciples said to one another, “Has anyone brought Him anything to eat?” Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me, and to finish His work. Do you not say, ‘There are still four months and then comes the harvest’? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest!” John 4:31-35 “Create in me a clean heart, O God, And renew a steadfast spirit within me.” Psalms 51:10 “Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, so that you are healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous one accomplishes much.” James 5:16 “Now may He who supplies seed to the sower, and bread for food, supply and multiply the seed you have sown and increase the fruits of your righteousness, while you are enriched in everything for all liberality, which causes thanksgiving through us to God. Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift!” II Corinthians 9:10-11, 15 “His mercy extends to those who fear Him, from generation to generation. He has performed mighty deeds with His Arm; He has scattered those who are proud in their inmost thoughts. He has brought down rulers from their thrones but has lifted up the humble. He has filled the hungry with good things but has sent the rich away empty. He has helped his servant Israel, remembering to be merciful to Abraham and his descendants forever, just as He promised our ancestors.” Luke 1:50-55 Good Morning Sabbath.......
Father Thank You for Your Rest. Thank You for Your Day. Please give us PEACE. In Yeshua Ha'Mashiach, Jesus Christ The Messiah's Name we pray. Amen. - Yeshua (Jesus) Said: “NOT As The World Gives” “Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” John 14:27 Think about this: When is the last time you felt extremely relaxed, at peace, and thought to yourself, "thank goodness the world has given me peace?" You probably haven't. In fact, personally, I have never heard anything close to a statement like that. Why? Because the world just doesn't give peace. The world is busy, self-centered, and constantly working to bring our last breath from the first breath we take. Stress, lockdowns, masks, mortgages, political turmoil, alimony, divorce, tuition, licensing fees, persecution, taxes, long hours of work, and traffic. These are just a few of the things the world brings. When we look at it from this perspective, it is pretty clear why Our Savior and King says in verse 27 of the 14th chapter of John that He doesn't give "as the world gives." It's clear because the world just doesn't give peace. It gives stress. Bless Our Father's Holy Name and Presence for True Peace through Our Messiah Yeshua, Jesus Christ. The Blessing of God, His Peace, and the ability to "be still" is one of the greatest gifts to His children He has bestowed upon us. It would not be prudent to ignore this because without the Peace that Christ Gives... our lives would be that much more chaotic, our lives would be shorter, and our "Light" would eventually turn to a flicker as the darkness and stress of this world eventually engulfed us. We are fortunate we don't have to go through life without His Peace and therefore we don't have hearts that are "troubled" and they don't have to "be afraid." God Almighty Himself Is On Our Side, and "If God Is For Us, Who Can Be Against Us (Romans 8:31)?" Today, this week, and this year, may we all take a moment to sit back, relax, be still, and thank Our God and Savior for The Peace He Gives. May we truly thank and praise Him that He doesn't gives as the world does. We don't deserve His Peace, we didn't earn His Peace, but because He Loves Us So Dearly, He Gave Us Peace Anyway... and abundantly. Dear Father God, thank You so much for the gift of Your Peace and for sending us Your Greatest Gift, Your Son and Our King, to give us Peace in this chaotic and ever-so-busy world. Help us to cherish these of the many Blessings You Give, and also, so we may help bring others that same Peace, fill us with Your Goodness to Glorify Your Name. Father... You are YAHsome. Bless You. Thank You that you give Peace and NOT as the world gives. We Love You so very much. We ask these things in Your Perfect Son's Holy and Upright Name, Yeshua Ha'Mashiach, Jesus Christ Our King. Amen! The Word of God... The Bringer and Prince of Peace: “These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”” John 16:33 “What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?” Romans 8:31 “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!” Psalms 46:10 “And this is the answer they returned to us: ‘We are servants of the God of heaven and earth, and we are building the house that was built formerly many years ago, which a great king of Israel had built and finished.” Ezra 5:11 “Be quiet before Yahweh and wait for him. Do not fret about one who succeeds in his way, about a man making plots. Refrain from anger and forsake wrath. Do not fret; it only brings evil. For evildoers will be cut off, but those who wait for Yahweh— they will possess the land.” Psalms 37:7-9 Good Morning Friday...
Father, thank You for this NEW day. We ask that you OPEN our HEARTS and MINDS to Your Word and implant in us Your Goodness. As we walk with You today, gently remind us of Your Presence in our lives. Please watch over our loved ones, Your People Israel, and TRANSFORM our lives TODAY! In Your Son and Our Mighty Savior’s Name, Yeshua, Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen A big thank you to our late Brother, John W. Ritenbaugh, and berean.org 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: We Understand... By Faith “By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by The Word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.” Hebrews 11:3 We need to understand three words here. The first is "worlds," which is the Greek aion meaning "ages," "periods of time," or "dispensations." The author is not referring at all to the created world—the earth. He means periods of time. The second word is "framed," which gives the impression of a person building something, but that is not the author's intent. The same word appears in Hebrews 10:5, "Sacrifice and offering You did not desire, but a body You have prepared." This translation points to a different connotation. The third word is "word." Normally, a Bible student would probably immediately think of logos as being the Greek for "word," but such is not the case here. It is instead the Greek word rhema, which means "the revealed word." A good paraphrase of verse 3, then, would be: "By faith we understand that the ages were prepared by the revealed word of God." This verse is telling us that there is an unseen hand somewhere that is guiding the course of the periods through which mankind has lived! In other words, God is working out a purpose! People with faith look to the purpose He is working out and what He has revealed, and they see His hand guiding the destiny of nations as well as individuals. This is an interesting, encouraging, faith-building concept because God is never far from the thoughts of a faithful person. Such a person, because he has had the mystery of God revealed to him—the purpose He is working out—begins to see God in everything that is happening because God is his companion. He has a relationship with Him. Because of his fellowship with God, he tries to see everything through God's eyes, as it were. When God calls, one of the miracles He works in us by His Spirit gives us insight into His movements in the history of man. The Christian begins to see God in his environment, the earth—and discovers that it is all under God's control. We can see where God says, "I raise up kings. I put down kings." Sometimes these are "the basest of men," but because we are beginning to think like God, we understand why He does such things. In Romans 13:1-2, we find out that all governments are ordained of God. He at least permits them to govern, and sometimes He directly installs them. God is guiding and controlling events. Men think they are in control of what is happening, and some even think Satan is in control. No, God is in control. He is working out a purpose, and Satan is subject to Him and can only do what He allows him to do. The psalmist says that God is not in all of the ungodly man's thoughts (Psalm 10:4). Andre Maurois, a French philosopher and writer, once said, "The universe is indifferent. Who created it? Why are we here on this puny mud heap, spinning in an infinite space? I have not the slightest idea, and I am quite convinced that no one has the least idea." This is the way man looks at things, but Christians had better not look at them like this because they will not operate by faith. If we are operating by faith, we can begin to see events and circumstances in their fuller scope, as well as how they fit and how important they are to the purpose God is working out. God Bless everybody and have a Wonderful Faith-Filled Day! Good Morning Thursday...
Thank You Abba (Father) for blessing us with another day to give You praise. Thank You for all that You do for each and every one of us. Abba, thank You for the time we get to spend with our family and friends, not just today, but every day. We pray for safe travels for everyone on the roads today. We pray for healing, comfort, love, and peace for all. We ask these things with Your blessing Father, Yahweh Our Elohim (God), in Yeshua Ha'Mashiach, Jesus Christ’s Name...thank You!! Thank you to Brother Daniel B. for today’s intro. Bless you Brother! - Giving Thanks On Thanksgiving &... Gobbling The Word Way back in The Garden of Eden, before our ancestors Adam and Eve fell, we were in full unity with Our Father. Before the fall, we stood in confidence before God, with full affection towards Him, and we were perfectly satisfied. After the sin of eating the forbidden fruit, something changed. No longer were Our Fathers Commands "enough" for us. The ancient Hebrew Scriptures use a word that describes us as "out of chord" with The One True and Living God. We were no longer in perfect harmony with God Our Father. Now we seem to bend and seek harmony with "the world," needing its affirmation and acceptance. Here is how Our Father had Paul make the statement about those now without Christ: “a warped and crooked generation.” Philippians 2:15 Crooked. Warped. This is how we are now described, before we come to knowledge of Our Savior and King, and have our lives changed. So, what is the cure? Philippians 2 goes on to explain that we should be "blameless and pure," other translations explain it as "without blemish." Our Father Goes On In His Word To Explain to "Do everything without grumbling or arguing." Stated another way, we should be thankful. This thankfulness and thanksgiving causes us to "shine like stars in the sky." We shine when we have Our Father and His Word, even when we are among a "warped and crooked generation." Our world has unfortunately slipped into a the trap of entitlement and because of this, most seem to always be discontent. Our world has become like our ancestors, having thoughts that we "deserve" to be gods. Because of this “worldly” attitude, we are always trying to decide our own fate, be our own leaders, and are never satisfied. The world sees those that stand in their way, of controlling their own fate, as enemies. Those “in the world,” and most of us before we have the revelation of Christ, want it all. What is the product of this entitlement and god-complex? Discontent and pride. When anyone is chasing the myths and fairytales of this world, it undoubtedly tends to leave us swimming in pride and chasing things that aren't, most of the time, even a reality to acquire. Thanksgiving is a large part of our lives as believers. If we are struggling with trials, sin, or temptation in this life, it may be a worship or thanksgiving problem. If we succumb to the temptations of this world it will only lead us to self worship, worship of someone, or worship of something other than Our Father. Thankfulness takes our focus off of our perceived needs and places our focus on Our Father and King. Our thanksgiving to God Our Father cleanses us, refocuses us, and brings us His Peace. May we all make it a point on this day to be thankful. Wherever we may be, whatever we may be doing, if we are Thankful and giving Thanksgiving to Our God, Father, and Savior... we will be able to see our blessings rather than just ourselves. *An interesting note: Do you know how Thanksgiving was started? Sukkot or The Feast of Tabernacles. When the first settlers came over they all still celebrated Our Father's Holy Feast. When it came time to "break bread" with the natives they wanted to honor Our Father's Holy Days and show the natives how believers in The One True and Living God celebrated. It makes perfect sense because what is Sukkot all about?... Thanksgiving. So from that day forward Thanksgiving was established. May we all remember Our Father and Savior on this memorial day and most of all remember to... Give Thanks On Thanksgiving. I am thankful for being a Son of The Most High God (El Elyon), and I am thankful for each and every one of you! God Bless my Brothers and Sisters In Yeshua. Praying each and every one of you on the other side of this screen has a wonderful, joyous, and God-Blessed Thanksgiving. Shalom! Now time to “Gobble Up The Word!” The Thanksgiving Word Of The One True and Living God, El Shaddai (God Almighty), aka Turkey and Living Bread For The Soul: “Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, And into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.” Psalms 100:4 “Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed—not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence—continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose. Do everything without grumbling or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, “children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation.” Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky as you hold firmly to The Word of Life. And then I will be able to boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor in vain. But even if I am being poured out like a drink offering on the sacrifice and service coming from your faith, I am glad and rejoice with all of you. So you too should be glad and rejoice with me.” Philippians 2:12-18 “The Lord (YHWH,Yahweh) is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in Him, and He helps me. My heart leaps for joy, and with my song I praise Him.” Psalm 28:7 “I will praise You, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will tell of all Your marvelous works.” Psalms 9:1 Good Morning Wednesday...
Father thank You for this new day. As You Walk with us today, please keep us focused on YOUR TRUTH. Please continue to fill OUR HEARTS & MINDS with YOUR PEACE and straighten the paths before us. In YESHUA, Jesus Christ's Glorious Name we pray. Amen. - An Exercise In Connecting With God Our Father - By Faith #7 Step 1 - Prayer (Begin With Focus And Openness Towards God) Prayer: Dear Father God, please connect with us here as we seek in Your Word. Help us to show our Faith. Help us to find Your Peace. Be with us. Thank You. In Yeshua, Jesus's Name we pray. Amen Step 2 - Read Read the Scripture slowly. Be aware of any interesting words, phrases, or sentences. Read over The Scripture a second Time. Read: “When one of the Pharisees invited Jesus to have dinner with him, He went to the Pharisee’s house and reclined at the table. A woman in that town who lived a sinful life learned that Jesus was eating at the Pharisee’s house, so she came there with an alabaster jar of perfume. As she stood behind Him at His feet weeping, she began to wet His feet with her tears. Then she wiped Them with her hair, kissed Them and poured perfume on Them. When the Pharisee who had invited Him saw this, he said to himself, “If this man were a prophet, He would know who is touching Him and what kind of woman she is—that she is a sinner.” Jesus answered him, “Simon, I have something to tell you.” “Tell me, Teacher,” he said. “Two people owed money to a certain moneylender. One owed him five hundred denarii, and the other fifty. Neither of them had the money to pay him back, so he forgave the debts of both. Now which of them will love him more?” Simon replied, “I suppose the one who had the bigger debt forgiven.” “You have judged correctly,” Jesus said. Then He turned toward the woman and said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I came into your house. You did not give Me any water for My feet, but she wet My Feet with her tears and wiped Them with her hair. You did not give Me a kiss, but this woman, from the time I entered, has not stopped kissing My Feet. You did not put oil on My Head, but she has poured perfume on My Feet. Therefore, I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven—as her great Love has shown. But whoever has been forgiven little loves little.” Then Jesus said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.” The other guests began to say among themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?” Jesus said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you; go in peace.” Luke 7:36-50 Step 3 - Reflect Reflect on what stands out to you as you read. What is God trying to tell you? Step 4 - Respond Respond to The Word you just read. Talk to Your Father about how you feel. Tell Him what is on your mind. Tell him what is on your heart. As you go through your day today keep your eyes open to what you read, what you uncovered, or what you spoke to God about. You may find Him showing up in places you didn't expect. God Bless all of you. May The God Of All Good Things give each and every one of you PEACE! Good Morning Tuesday....
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 faith today! In Yeshua, Jesus Christ's Name. Amen! - The Mystery - The Word - The Walk We have all probably tried to solve a mystery before. Maybe it was a real life mystery and maybe it was a fictional one, regardless, they are a lot of fun. Some of the best "who dun it" films and stories have amazing twists and turns that leave us surprised, shocked, mouths open, and wanting more. Well, some years back I found the best mystery book in the history of mankind, The Bible. Our Father's Story in The Bible is the greatest mystery ever. It gives a series of amazing clues and reveals the greatest mystery of all time. At first read, The Bible can be kind of tough "to get," but when we learn that there are no coincidences, and that nothing is random with Our Father, it begins to get easier. You begin to find clues. That’s when “our hearts begin to burn within us,” we “break bread”, and we “eat.” God's Clues are so wise, purposeful, and perfectly presented it isn't difficult to realize they are from The Creator Of All Things. Neither men, nor angels, nor any other creature could put so much together, so perfectly, and without contradiction, past, present, or future...ever. Our Father's Word, Yeshua, Is Also His Miracle... And His Covenant. 🔥 When we begin The Bible at Genesis and read until Malachi, often called The Old Testament, we see God using men and women, real people, to tell who Yeshua Ha'Mashiach, Jesus Christ, would be. These texts were written, some thousands of years and some hundreds of years before Christ was even born! As we search out the lives of the men and women in The Beginning of God's Word, we can find something Divinely Awesome. Clues. Clues that show up in each and every character, as well as clues in each and every thing, like The Tent of Meeting. Our Father built a masterpiece with clues abounding and all leading to The King of Kings and The Lord of Lords. These clues tell us what Our Savior would look like, what He would do, when He would come, when we should watch for Him, when He would leave, and when He would come back. We are told to “watch,” keep your eyes open, and to keep ourselves clean. The King Is On His Way! In case someone reading this isn't aware, the story of Our Messiah starts in Genesis. Some would argue we don't know Christ's Name until Gabriel pays a visit to Mary, but in fact, His Name,Yeshua, or the literal transliteration, Salvation, is all over the beginning of The Bible. To be clear, everything in God's Word, The Bible, and the history of the world, like a laser pointer, all lead straight to Our Savior Yeshua, Jesus Christ. The cool thing... Our Savior Points Right Back At Our Father. Talk about having a Perfect Witness. Right? While each and every one of us today know that Yeshua, Jesus Christ, is what all the clues from Our Father were for, it doesn't stop there. Our Father Gives Us Clues Now Also... For The Future... For Today... And For When Our King Comes Back. Our Father's Word and Our Savior Continue to reveal Himself, and the mystery continues. Awesome right? With God's Word there is ALWAYS More. We still have so much to discover, so much more to praise, and best of all, so much more to Love. Remember, The Mystery Continues. Our King Is Coming Back! As we conclude today, let's take a look at a scripture favorite. Here is a prime example of God's Word, aka Jesus Christ, revealing His Mysteries and Himself to a couple of His Friends when He took a long walk to Emmaus with them. Our Messiah was literally unfolding The Mystery Of The Word Of God on this walk, and showing... He Is The Word Of God and He Is Salvation. ⚔️🙌🔥 The Mystery Of The Word Of God Being Revealed To His Friends: “Now behold, two of them were traveling that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was seven miles from Jerusalem. And they talked together of all these things which had happened. So it was, while they conversed and reasoned, that Jesus Himself drew near and went with them. But their eyes were restrained, so that they did not know Him. And He said to them, “What kind of conversation is this that you have with one another as you walk and are sad?” Then the one whose name was Cleopas answered and said to Him, “Are You the only stranger in Jerusalem, and have You not known the things which happened there in these days?” And He said to them, “What things?” So they said to Him, “The things concerning Jesus of Nazareth, who was a Prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people, and how the chief priests and our rulers delivered Him to be condemned to death, and crucified Him. But we were hoping that it was He who was going to redeem Israel. Indeed, besides all this, today is the third day since these things happened. Yes, and certain women of our company, who arrived at the tomb early, astonished us. When they did not find His body, they came saying that they had also seen a vision of angels who said He was alive. And certain of those who were with us went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said; but Him they did not see.” Then He said to them, “O foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken! Ought not the Christ to have suffered these things and to enter into His glory?” And beginning at Moses and all the Prophets, He expounded to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself. Then they drew near to the village where they were going, and He indicated that He would have gone farther. But they constrained Him, saying, “Abide with us, for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent.” And He went in to stay with them. Now it came to pass, as He sat at the table with them, that He took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them. Then their eyes were opened and they knew Him; and He vanished from their sight. And they said to one another, “Did not our heart burn within us while He talked with us on the road, and while He opened the Scriptures to us?” So they rose up that very hour and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven and those who were with them gathered together, saying, “The Lord is risen indeed, and has appeared to Simon!” And they told about the things that had happened on the road, and how He was known to them in the breaking of bread.” Luke 24:13-35 Good Morning Monday.......
Father Thank You for this NEW DAY. Please help us today to bring glory to YOUR NAME. Help us to understand YOUR WILL. Help us to understand YOUR SON and OUR CALLING. In Yeshua, Jesus Christ’s Name we pray. Amen. - Here’s Why You Shouldn’t Worry or Be Afraid We all need to be strengthened and encouraged at times. We all need to be lifted and prayed for at times. Yeshua, Jesus Christ Our King, prayed for us, and He told us to pray for one another. Why you may ask? Because we all need to be lifted up sometimes and put back on the right path. There are times when we all must repent, seek Our Father’s Face, and realign ourselves with His Calling. Through all the distractions, disappointments, persecution, and battles we face, undoubtedly at some point, we will grow weary, depressed, anxious, fearful, or doubtful. This is precisely when we must turn to The Mighty Word of Our God and Father, Yahweh. Yeshua, Jesus Christ, Our King and Savior is The Word of Yahweh and He Is... A Mighty Warrior. He commands an army of angels, and of men. None of which He needs, but it is His pleasure to mold us into something greater than we are now, something more like Him. My apologies for anyone who cannot view this video from their phone, but I encourage you to find somewhere you can watch it and really look at what Our Father is telling us in His Word. May we all be encouraged in God Almighty’s Word. The Word of God has all the answers. The Word of God is our Salvation. The Word of God is unfailing. He tells us in no uncertain terms, and repeatedly... Here’s Why You Shouldn’t Be Afraid Or Worry: https://youtu.be/Ro7r7bel1UM Prayer: Father God, we pray today that you lift up all those in need, those who are discouraged, the sick, the poor, every widow, every orphan, and everyone one of the Brothers and Sisters reading this today who may be struggling with a battle that seems insurmountable. Help us to repent, turn from our evil ways, pray for one another, seek Your Face, Your Word, and LIVE. Bless Your Holy Name forever and ever. Strengthen us LORD Of All and help make us Mighty Warriors, Like You. In Your Precious and Mighty Son’s Name, Our King and Our Salvation’s Name, Yeshua, Jesus Christ, we pray to you. Amen. Good Morning Sunday...
Father thank You for this NEW day. We ask that you OPEN our HEARTS and MINDS to YOUR infinite GRACE, WISDOM, and PEACE, so WE may SERVE You in the manner most PLEASING to YOU. In Your Mighty Son YESHUA, JESUS CHRIST's name we pray. Amen. - BELIEVING In The Word: Faith Our Father has an unbelievable and wonderful customized plan for each and every one of us. We are created in His Image, so of course He has a wonderful plan for us. We are children of The Covenant, the elect. The key to this wonderful plan is Belief. The problem is this: Along this crazy path we call life, sometimes we begin to believe the lies of the enemy instead of Our Heavenly Father. The enemy will lie to us about anything and everything to get us "off track" and away from Our Father’s Plan for our lives. The enemy will use whatever he can including, but not limited to: image, status, career, family, friends, living situation, our abilities, the future, the present, and the past. The enemy in fact will use anything he can to manipulate, darken, distort, and damage the lens we see through, and his influence is trying to lead us in a place that does not reflect the Light and Truth of Our Savior Yeshua, Jesus Christ The King. When we study The Word of God we have the ultimate weapon to spot the enemies lies. By revelation and BELIEVING God's Word it is easy to not BE DECEIVED by "the other guy," and we spot his tricks and lies quickly. When we allow Our Father's Word and plan for our lives to soak deep in our beliefs, we are always in a better place. We must let God's Word take precedent over all, no one and no thing can lead us safely to where Our Father is leading us... Only His Word. Belief and Faith, this is what we as believers must go by, not feelings or sight. We must trust in His Word with all we have and BELIEVE what Our Father tells is in His Word. His Word is True in everything concerning our lives, and God's Plan for our lives is True. Feeling insecure? Munch on some Living Bread, The Word of God, and you can be cured of that. Feeling angry and discontent? The cure? You got it, drink some Living Water, The Word of God. If we merely declare God Almighty’s Word concerning our lives and BELIEVE, the "fiery darts" from the enemy will never prevail against us. May we all today declare what God Our Father’s Word says about us, God's Plan for our lives, and say it out loud for the lying, deceptive enemy to hear. May none of us take any other suggestion other than The Creator of The Whole World's. Finally, may we all be greatly encouraged today knowing God Our Father ALWAYS comes through in His Word, Yeshua, Jesus Christ Our Savior.... HalleluYah! God Bless Everybody and may each and everyone of you be filled with The Peace of Our Father In Heaven and Our King and Savior Yeshua Ha’Mashiach, Jesus Christ, The King.

Father thank You for this new day. Thank You for giving us Brothers and Sisters to share in this wonderful journey back to You. Please use us to help the hurting, the sick, the fatherless, and the weak. Help us to show Your Love in this dark world, because we know Love covers a multitude of sins. In Yeshua, Jesus Christ’s Name we pray. Amen. - An Exercise In Connecting With God Our Father - By Faith #6 Step 1 - Prayer (Begin With Focus And Openness Towards God) Prayer: Dear Father God, please connect with us here as we seek in Your Word. Help us to show our Faith. Help us to find Your Peace. Be with us. Thank You. In Yeshua, Jesus's Name we pray. Amen Step 2 - Read Read the Scripture slowly. Be aware of any interesting words, phrases, or sentences. Read over The Scripture a second Time. Read: “Now when Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion came to Him, pleading with Him, saying, “Lord, my servant is lying at home paralyzed, dreadfully tormented.” And Jesus said to him, “I will come and heal him.” The centurion answered and said, “Lord, I am not worthy that You should come under my roof. But only speak a word, and my servant will be healed. For I also am a man under authority, having soldiers under me. And I say to this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it. ” When Jesus heard it, He marveled, and said to those who followed, “Assuredly, I say to you, I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel!” Matthew 8:5-10 Step 3 - Reflect Reflect on what stands out to you as you read. What is God trying to tell you? Step 4 - Respond Respond to The Word you just read. Talk to Your Father about how you feel. Tell Him what is on your mind. Tell him what is on your heart. As you go through your day today keep your eyes open to what you read, what you uncovered, or what you spoke to God about. You may find Him showing up in places you didn't expect. God Bless all of you. May The God Of All Good Things Give each and everyone of you PEACE. Happy Sabbath and Shabbat Shalom everybody! |
