Good Morning Friday...
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. - The Choice Is Ours - Whose Instruction? There are some conversations that we may not like to have. It can be pretty uncomfortable for us to talk about a subject like hell with someone. If you ask the world at large, they may even tell you how foolish the concept of a hell is, and then proceed to tell you that a "Loving God" wouldn't send people to hell. They may go on to explain that they put their faith in "science" and "logic." These people of the world haven't read The Bible. If they have... they didn't "hear" it. “But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty” I Corinthians 1:27 The explanation of hell though isn't just doctrine. Do you know who spoke about our English translation of “hell” more than any other person in The Bible? None other than The Word of God Himself, Yeshua, Jesus Christ. Not Paul, not Peter, not John either, but The King...God. “But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.” Matthew 4:4 Make no mistakes, Jesus speaking, about what we call “hell,” was and is about Love. The world at large may try to "logic" or "science " away The Truth, but The Truth Lives, and He Lives Forever. 🔥 Hell, Hades, or Sheol may be real, but Our Loving Father's gift of choice is real as well. Our Father, kind and loving, leaves us choices to make. He calls us closer to Him so that we may know True Love. He invites and urges us to Love Him. He even submitted Himself to a fallen world and allowed abuses to be heaped upon Him, which He did not have to allow, because He Loved Us First. We should have no doubt that He allowed these things to happen because He Loved us first, and... He desires for us to Love Him back. I have learned that God Our Father never forces us to Love Him or do good, He Is... A Complete Gentleman. We can find a “cloud of witnesses,” in His Word, where He shows us how He longs for us to Love Him and Do Good. If He forced us, if we didn’t have a choice, it wouldn't be True Love. In Scripture, Our Father goes above and beyond, from Genesis to Revelation, to show us how much He Loves Us. I am here to tell you, I can be a witness, His Love Is True. Our Father and Our Savior lay out the benefits, shows us He Is True To His Word, explains all His Promises, and then in a very concise manner communicates The Choice, and... the consequences involved. Our God and Father Gives Us All These Things and then... The Choice Is Ours. The Choice?... The Instruction of God Almighty or... the gods of this world? Which will you choose today? “But if it is bad in your eyes to serve Yahweh, choose for yourselves today whom you want to serve, whether it is the gods that your ancestors served beyond the river, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living; but as for me and my household, we will serve Yahweh.” Joshua 24:15 The Everlasting Word of El Shaddai (God Almighty): “Behold, I set before you today a blessing and a curse: the blessing, if you obey the commandments of The LORD (YHWH, Yahweh) your God which I command you today; and the curse, if you do not obey the commandments of The LORD (YHWH, Yahweh) your God, but turn aside from The Way which I command you today, to go after other gods which you have not known.” Deuteronomy 11:26-28 “Therefore be careful to observe them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the peoples who will hear all these statutes, and say, ‘Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.’ “For what great nation is there that has God so near to it, as The LORD (YHWH,Yahweh) our God is to us, for whatever reason we may call upon Him? And what great nation is there that has such statutes and righteous judgments as are in all this law (Instruction) which I set before you this day?” Deuteronomy 4:6-8 “If you love Me, keep My commandments. And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever— The Spirit of Truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.” John 14:15-18 “Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.” Matthew 5:19 “Assuredly, I say to you, among those born of women there has not risen one greater than John the Baptist; but he who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.” Matthew 11:11 “At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” Then Jesus called a little child to Him, set him in the midst of them, and said, “Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. Whoever receives one little child like this in My name receives Me.” Matthew 18:1-5 “Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,” Hebrews 12:1 “God Is Love.” 1 John 4:16

Good Morning Thursday...
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’s Name. Amen! - What Are The Prophets Saying? (Haggai) There are so many times I have found myself discouraged, confused, or frustrated, and wasn't sure where to turn in The Bible and 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 ( The Servants) came before He (The Master) Sent His Son. With that in mind, let us take a look today at what Haggai, 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 Haggai, 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. 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’s Mighty Name We Pray. Amen! The Word of God: The Book of Haggai, A Prophet of God Almighty, Yahweh, and The Savior of The World, Yeshua Jesus Christ: “Then the word of The LORD (YHWH,Yahweh) came by Haggai the prophet, saying, “ Is it time for you yourselves to dwell in your paneled houses, and this temple to lie in ruins?” Now therefore, thus says The LORD (YHWH) of hosts: “Consider your ways! “You have sown much, and bring in little; You eat, but do not have enough; You drink, but you are not filled with drink; You clothe yourselves, but no one is warm; And he who earns wages, Earns wages to put into a bag with holes.” Haggai 1:3-6 NKJV “Thus says Yahweh of hosts: ‘Consider your ways!” Haggai 1:7 LEB “Then Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel and Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, with all the remnant of the people, obeyed The Lord (Yahweh) their God’s voice, and the words of Haggai the prophet, as The Lord (Yahweh) their God, had sent him; and the people feared The Lord (Yahweh). Then Haggai, The Lord’s (Yahweh’s) messenger, spoke The Lord’s (Yahweh’s) message to the people, saying, “I Am with you,” says The Lord (Yahweh).” Haggai 1:12-13 WMB “Who is left among you who saw this house in its former glory? And how do you see it now? Is not this in your sight as nothing in comparison to that? Yet now be strong, alert, and courageous, O Zerubbabel, says the Lord; be strong, alert, and courageous, O Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest; and be strong, alert, and courageous, all you people of the land, says The Lord (YHWH), and work! For I am with you, says The Lord (YHWH) of hosts. According to the promise that I covenanted with you when you came out of Egypt, so My Spirit stands and abides in the midst of you; fear not.” Haggai 2:3-5 AMPC “For this is what Yahweh of Armies says: ‘Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, the earth, the sea, and the dry land; and I will shake all nations. The precious things of all nations will come, and I will fill this house with glory, says Yahweh of Armies. The silver is mine, and the gold is mine,’ says Yahweh of Armies. ‘The latter glory of this house will be greater than the former,’ says Yahweh of Armies; ‘and in this place will I give peace,’ says Yahweh of Armies.” Haggai 2:6-9 WEB “This is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies says. Ask the priests this question about the law: ‘If one of you is carrying some meat from a holy sacrifice in his robes and his robe happens to brush against some bread or stew, wine or olive oil, or any other kind of food, will it also become holy?’” The priests replied, “No.” Then Haggai asked, “If someone becomes ceremonially unclean by touching a dead person and then touches any of these foods, will the food be defiled?” And the priests answered, “Yes.” Then Haggai responded, “That is how it is with this people and this nation, says the Lord. Everything they do and everything they offer is defiled by their sin.” Haggai 2:11-14 NLT “Then Haggai said, “ ‘So it is with this people and this nation in my sight,’ declares The Lord (YHWH, Yahweh). ‘Whatever they do and whatever they offer there is defiled. “ ‘Now give careful thought to this from this day on —consider how things were before one stone was laid on another in The Lord’s (YHWH’s) temple. When anyone came to a heap of twenty measures, there were only ten. When anyone went to a wine vat to draw fifty measures, there were only twenty. I struck all the work of your hands with blight, mildew and hail, yet you did not return to me,’ declares The Lord (YHWH, Yahweh).” Haggai 2:14-17 NIV “there’s no longer any seed in the barn, is there? and the vine, fig tree, pomegranate tree and olive tree have produced nothing yet, right? However, from this day on, I will bless you.” Haggai 2:19 CJB Good Morning Wednesday...
THANK YOU FATHER FOR THIS NEW DAY. Please continue to BE WITH US during these tough days of deception and confusion. YOU ARE OUR SHELTER FROM THE STORM. FILL OUR HEARTS AND MINDS WITH YOUR TRUTH & LOVE, SO WE may ENJOY YOUR BLESSINGS, AND BE A BLESSING, TODAY!. IN YESHUA, JESUS CHRIST’s Name we pray. Am - Let Us Have A Merry Heart - God Our Father Is BIG Blood flows through our veins, into our hearts, and makes our body work. God's Word tells us that "the Life is in the blood (Lev 17:11)." There is something that helps give us Life as much as the blood your heart pumps through your body though. Having a merry heart. As believers we all are aware of not just the physical, but the spiritual aspects to this life. Having a merry heart is part of the spiritual. I have learned that if your spiritual life is kept healthy, the physical will follow, because the physical is always a manifestation of the spiritual. Yeshua, Jesus, even states this in Matthew 18:18. Stress kills, but Loving God Almighty and having a merry heart brings Life. We have a Big God. Nothing is impossible for Him. This alone should give us a merry heart. He can do more than we can imagine and the difficult things for us are easy for Him. Our Father wants our dependence. Why? Because He knows this will give us a merry heart. We were made to depend on Him, Love Him, and receive spiritual renewal from Him. Are you having a tough time right now? If you are, this should be exciting news, because that means God is up to something. He is refining you, teaching you, and whether you know it or not, He is Loving You. Our Father's Love doesn't always look like we expect it to, but if we merely rely on Him, we soon find His blessing in our trial. Believe, repent, obey or B.R.O.. This is what God's Word calls us to do. When we do this it doesn't matter the struggle, trial, or battle we are going through, Our Father will show us... He Is Big, Nothing Is Impossible For Him, and it allows us to Have A Merry Heart. Can I get a witness?! Sure, here's 5: “A merry heart does good, like medicine, But a broken spirit dries the bones.” Proverbs 17:22 “A merry heart makes a cheerful countenance, But by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken. The heart of him who has understanding seeks knowledge, But the mouth of fools feeds on foolishness. All the days of the afflicted are evil, But he who is of a merry heart has a continual feast. Better is a little with the fear of the LORD, Than great treasure with trouble.” Proverbs 15:13-16 “through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; and perseverance, character; and character, hope. Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.” Romans 5:2-5 “Jesus said to him, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.” Mark 9:23 “But Jesus looked at them and said, “With men it is impossible, but not with God; for with God all things are possible.” Mark 10:27 God Bless everybody and have a Wonderful Yeshua, Merry-Heart-Filled Wednesday! Good Morning Tuesday...
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. Thank you to 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: Made In Our Father’s Image - Made In The Image of God (7) And The LORD (YHWH, Yahweh) God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils The Breath of Life; and man became a living being. Genesis 2:7 From our childhood, we carry an image of God kneeling over the created but inert Adam. He is lifeless until God performs the first mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, and then Adam springs to life! His eyelids flutter, he takes a deep breath, and then he bends from his waist and sits up. Nowhere does The Bible show God breathing Life into any animal that He created. When He created them, they started breathing. Why should man be any different? He is different because he is in the likeness of God. He did something to man that actually made man into the image of God. While he was lying there on the ground, he was still yet a creature. But when God knelt down and breathed into him, the infusion of the spirit in man occurred. That is what made man in the image of God! That is what gave man the power to have dominion. It gave man the intellect he needed to rule what God has created. Man has creaturely life, but with the infusion of the spirit in man, he is more—a living being with intelligence. Man was given the power to govern his actions, not by instinct, but by memory, by conceptualization and thinking spatially. A man can appreciate beauty, communicate verbally, or write. A human being has feelings that are—in the expression of their subtly and power—far above an animal in terms of love or hate, and above all of the emotions that fall in between. We can create and destroy. The power is in a man to do these things. The power is in the spirit when combined with the brain, but it has to be developed. God shows very clearly that, as we are, we are nothing more than a pale representation of what we can be. Yet, we are endowed with powers that lift us so far above the animals on earth that we can have dominion over them. Mankind is then commanded to fill the earth and subdue it. Subdue means "to tread upon," which implies "to bring into subjection." It does not mean "to destroy" or "to treat violently," but "to control and direct." In Genesis 1:26 and 28, God implies that He has conferred powers to mankind not given to animals. It is also the first indication, when combined with Genesis 2:7 and 15, that when God confers a responsibility, He also confers the powers to carry out that responsibility. Good Morning Monday...
Father thank You for this NEW day. You have blessed us with another WONDERFUL day to see your WISDOM and TRUTH. May we use this day to show this dark and war-filled world Your Light and Glory TODAY! In Yeshua, Jesus Christ’s Name we pray. Amen. - A Living Bread-Filled Breakfast Good morning Brothers and Sisters. Today, let’s take a look at some of the best picture verses from this year. Enjoy these twelve picture verses, one for each tribe of Israel. Share them with someone you love or someone you think it may encourage. Remember, you may be the only person that “someone” has to share The Truth with them. Have a wonderful Father and Savior-Filled day everyone and May Our Father In Heaven bless you... Mightily! Good Morning Sunday....
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. Amen! - The Heavens Above, The Word, & The Glory Of Our Father, The One True & Living God. “The heavens are telling The Glory of God, and the firmament proclaims the work of His Hands. Every day they pour forth speech, and every night they tell knowledge. There is no speech and there are no words; their sound is inaudible. Yet in all the world their line goes out, and their words to the end of the world. In them He has pitched a tent for the sun, and it is like a bridegroom who comes out of his bridal chamber. It is glad like a strong man to run its course. Its rising is from one end of the heavens and its circuit to the other end of them; and nothing is hidden from its heat. The Law (Instruction) of Yahweh is perfect, reviving Life. The Testimony of Yahweh is firm, making wise the simple. The Precepts of Yahweh are right, making the heart rejoice. The Command of Yahweh is pure, enlightening the eyes. The Fear of Yahweh is pure, enduring forever. The Ordinances of Yahweh are true; they are righteous altogether, more desirable than gold, even much fine gold; and sweeter than honey, even honey in the comb. Moreover, Your servant is warned by them; in keeping them is great reward. Who can perceive his errors? Acquit me from hidden faults. Also, keep back Your servant from arrogant sins; let them not rule over me. Then I shall be blameless, and I shall be innocent of great transgression. Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your presence, O Yahweh, my Rock and my Redeemer.” Psalms 19:1-14 LEB Good Morning Sabbath...
Father thank you for this new day. Your Day. We ask for Your Peaceful Rest. May we abide in You and refill our lamps with oil. As we look at The Words of Your Son, please give us wisdom. We ask this so we may show Your Glory. In Yeshua, Jesus Christ's Name. Amen. - An Exercise In Connecting With God Our Father - Faith #5 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: “And after six days Jesus took along Peter and James and John his brother, and led them up on a high mountain by themselves. And he was transfigured before them, and his face shone like the sun, and his clothing became bright as the light. And behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with him. So Peter answered and said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good that we are here! If you want, I will make here three shelters, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah.” While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and behold, a voice from the cloud said, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased. Listen to him!” And when the disciples heard this, they fell down on their faces and were extremely frightened. And Jesus came and touched them and said, “Get up and do not be afraid.” And when they lifted up their eyes they saw no one except him—Jesus alone. And as they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them saying, “Tell no one the vision until the Son of Man is raised from the dead.” And the disciples asked him, saying, “Then why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?” And he answered and said, “Elijah indeed is coming, and will restore all things. But I say to you that Elijah has already come, and they did not recognize him, but did with him whatever they wanted. In the same way also the Son of Man is going to suffer at their hands.” Then the disciples understood that he had spoken to them about John the Baptist. And when they came to the crowd, a man approached him, kneeling down before him and saying, “Lord, have mercy on my son, because he has seizures and suffers severely, for often he falls into the fire and often into the water. And I brought him to your disciples, and they were not able to heal him.” And Jesus answered and said, “O unbelieving and perverse generation! How long will I be with you? How long must I put up with you? Bring him here to me!” And Jesus rebuked him, and the demon came out of him and the boy was healed from that hour. Then the disciples approached Jesus privately and said, Why were we not able to expel it?” And he said to them, “Because of your little faith. For truly I say to you, if you have faith like a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you.”” Matthew 17:1-20 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 Everyone. May The God Of All Good Things Give each and everyone of you PEACE. BLESSINGS, Shabbat Shalom, and Happy Sabbath! Good Morning Friday....... Father thank You for this NEW day. You have blessed us with another WONDERFUL day to see your WISDOM and TRUTH. May we use this day to show this dark and war-filled world Your Light and Glory TODAY!!! In Yeshua, Jesus Christ’s Name we pray. Amen! Thank you to berean.org and David C. Grabbe for today's devotion. - Spiritual Preparation & Our Sanctification And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come. Matthew 24:14 In his book, Of God and Man, theologian Aiden W. Tozer could clearly see what the priority of the church should be in this regard: "The popular notion that the first obligation of the church is to spread the gospel to the uttermost parts of the earth is false. Her first obligation is to be spiritually worthy to spread it." First things must come first. Spiritual preparation must precede physical activity. God sanctified Jesus Christ to do what He did, and yet He still went through thirty years of preparation before preaching for three and a half. Not all of us have the exact sanctification. Not everyone has been set apart to do what Paul did, or what Peter did, or what John did. They received a specific calling, a specific sanctification to do what they did. God directed these men as He saw fit, and they submitted to Him. Nevertheless, He does not direct everyone to do the same thing. There are many offices in God's House, and many functions within the Body of Christ (see I Corinthians 12:1-11, 28-30). However, if we have been called by God, we have been given a general sanctification (I John 2:27). We have already been set apart from the world (John 17:6). What is more, we are being sanctified (Hebrews 2:11). We are being purified and having God's character and nature created in us. This is the work that the Creator is doing. This is what Tozer called being "spiritually worthy," and what we call "go[ing] on to perfection" (Hebrews 6:1). This is the foundational, underlying, core responsibility of each of God's children, regardless of whether another, more specific sanctification is added to it. God Bless everybody and have a Wonderful, Yeshua Jesus-Filled Day!
Good Morning Thursday...
Father, may the TRUTH that You LOVE us and that You are FOR us fill us with JOY AND CONFIDENCE TODAY. Let this TRUTH sink deep into our souls TODAY. Let it shape every area in our Lives today! In YESHUA, JESUS CHRIST’’s Name we pray. Amen! - Promises From God Our Father, The Creator of All Things Our Father Is Bold. Our Savior Is Bright. Turn off the darkness and step into The Light. Our Bold, Bright, Full of Light Father, The Creator of All Things, Made Us Some Incredible Promises. Let's explore four of these promises today and see what He Stirs In Us. Our Father’s Precious Promise: “Since you were precious in My sight, You have been honored, And I have loved you; Therefore I will give men for you, And people for your life.” Isaiah 43:4 Our Father's Word Implanted Soul Saving Promise: “Therefore, putting aside all moral uncleanness and wicked excess, welcome with humility the implanted message which is able to save your souls.” James 1:21 Expect Your Future To Look Better Than You Can Imagine Promise: “You must not remember the former things, and you not must consider the former things. Look! I am about to do a new thing! Now it sprouts! Do you not perceive it? Indeed, I will make a way in the wilderness, rivers in the desert.” Isaiah 43:18-19 A Yahweh-Loving Kingdom Inheritance Promise: “Listen, my dear brothers! Did not God choose the poor of the world to be rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom that he has promised to those who love Him?” James 2:5 God Bless Everybody. Have a wonderful, Eternal Promises-Filled day! Good Morning Wednesday...
Father thank You for this NEW DAY. We THANK YOU for continuing YOUR GOOD WORKS yesterday, today, and forevermore. May we continually thank You for Your Salvation YESHUA, JESUS Christ, and being OUR GOD! In Yeshua, Jesus Christ’s Name. Amen! - An Exercise In Connecting With God Our Father - Faith #4 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 faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” Hebrews 11:1 “Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.” I Timothy 6:12 “Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, The Pioneer and Perfecter of Faith. For the joy set before Him He endured The Cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at The Right Hand of The Throne of God. Consider Him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart. In your struggle against sin, you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood. And have you completely forgotten this word of encouragement that addresses you as a father addresses his son? It says, “My son, do not make light of The Lord’s discipline, and do not lose heart when He rebukes you, because The Lord disciplines the one He Loves, and He chastens everyone He accepts as His Son.” Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as His Children. For what children are not disciplined by their father? If you are not disciplined—and everyone undergoes discipline—then you are not legitimate, not true sons and daughters at all. Moreover, we have all had human fathers who disciplined us and we respected them for it. How much more should we submit to The Father of Spirits and live! They disciplined us for a little while as they thought best; but God disciplines us for our good, in order that we may share in His Holiness. No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it. Therefore, strengthen your feeble arms and weak knees. “Make level paths for your feet,” so that the lame may not be disabled, but rather healed.” Hebrews 12:1-13 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 Everyone. May The God Of All Good Things, Our Father In Heaven, Give each and everyone of you FAITH, GRACE, & PEACE. |
