Good Morning Tuesday...
Father, thank You for this NEW DAY. Please continue to FILL our HEARTS & MINDS WITH all that is YOU. Father, bless Your children, SO at every opportunity today YOU ARE SEEN, HEARD, AND FELT through us TODAY. In Yeshua, Jesus Christ's Name. Amen! - Faith, Trust, Encouragement, & Yeshua, Our Eternal Parachute Faith, trust, and encouragement go hand in hand. When we put faith in Our Father, The One True and Living God, and His Son Yeshua, Jesus Christ, it means we trust Him. When we trust In God, He always encourages us. Think about this: What could be more encouraging than having our lives saved? I would venture to say that having our lives saved is the most encouraging event that could happen... and He has saved us! I once heard a great analogy about Trusting Jesus. It went something like this: If you were to go skydiving, of course you would wear a parachute, right? You wouldn't jump out of a plane and start flapping your arms trying to fly, would you? No, you would wear a parachute and you would have to have faith in that parachute to open. Evidence of our faith in that parachute would be us putting it on before we jump out of the plane. Because we put our faith in that parachute it is showing we trust that parachute to open. So, we have faith and trust in that parachute and once it opens as we are falling, we are encouraged that we will be safe. That's how it is with Our God and Our Savior. We must have faith in Him. Like the parachute we must have faith in Him and put Him on. Once we have clothed ourselves with Christ through faith, repent of our old ways, and trust in Him to be open to us, it is here that we get encouragement because He saves us from the fall... He Is Our Eternal Parachute! The Word of God Is What Saves Us! “We can ONLY be saved because Our Savior (The Word of God), Through His Atonement, mercifully provides us with a “Spiritual Parachute” of sorts. If we have Faith in Yeshua, Jesus Christ, and repent (Meaning We Do Our Part And Pull The Rip Cord), then the protective powers of Our Savior are unleashed on our behalf and we can land spiritually unharmed.” - TR Callister From beginning to end there are places in The Bible that help build our Faith, build our Trust in God, and Encourage us to keep "fighting the good fight" (1 Timothy 6:12). The best part is that God Almighty Himself shows us how to be faithful. Adam and Eve betrayed God, but He didn't leave or forsake them. Abraham had faith in God and so even when he lied, did the wrong thing, or messed up, Our Father was faithful to him. Jonah was reluctant, Jacob was a liar, David was an adulterer, Solomon was a womanizer, Samson gave away his blessings, but in every case God Our Father showed His faithfulness. If we merely put our Faith in God, Trust Him to deliver, then He Will Encourage Us and Show Us THE WAY. He Will Change Us in ways we will never be able to change ourselves. He loves us with an endless Love, He never leaves us, and He always delivers on His promises. God Our Father is a Perfect Judge. We are all due in court one day because we have broken The Law. We deserve a death sentence for all the lying, blaspheming, and adulterous things we have done. What is amazing is Our Perfect Judge had it worked out ahead of time and when we show up in court... Jesus, God Himself in the flesh, shows up and pays our fine. The Perfect Judge hits the gavel and declares "You are free to go, your fine has been paid." We are free to go! From death to Life just like that Yeshua saves us! He paid the fine! HalleluYah! Let's end today with Yeshua, Jesus Himself, assuring us of our freedom. We put our Faith In Him, Trust In Him, and now here are His Words Encouraging us to go even deeper in our walk with Him. Blessed be His Name, forever and ever. Amen. Yeshua, Jesus Said: “Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.” John 8:36 “If you love Me, you will keep My Commandments.” John 14:15 Prayer: Dear Father, thank You for being so Perfect. Thank You for Yeshua. Thank You For Giving Us Life and not death. Please help us to be more Faithful like You. Help us to Trust In You and Your Word to carry us through all that comes our way. Finally Father, Encourage Us Please...as Only You Can Do. We Love You, We Thank You, and We Praise Your Holy Name Forever. In Your Mighty, Life Inducing, And Freedom Giving Son's Name Yeshua Ha'Mashiach, Jesus Christ, We Pray. Amen. Extra Fuel For The Soul: “By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to the place which he would receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going.” Hebrews 11:8 “Commit to Yahweh your way; Trust also on him and he will act.” Psalms 37:5 “For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.” I Corinthians 6:20 “Blessed be the person who trusts in Yahweh, and Yahweh is his trust. For he will be like a tree planted by water, and to the stream it sends its roots, and it will not fear when heat comes, and its leaves will be luxuriant, and in the year of drought it will not be anxious, and it will not cease from the bearing of fruit.” Jeremiah 17:7-8 “I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go, and I will bring you back to this land. I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.” Genesis 28:15 “Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”), that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.” Galatians 3:13-14

Good Morning Monday…
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 a Happy Monday, Big Faith, and PEACE! Good Morning Sunday…
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: Understanding... 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 Week! 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. - Discover The Mystery - Search The Word - Experience 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 19 Happy Sabbath and Shabbat Shalom (Sabbath Peace) everyone. May we all Discover The Mystery - Search The Word - and Experience The Walk… TODAY! Good Morning Friday...
Father, please help us to SHOW GRACE to others today. Let our words BE KIND and our actions BE HELPFUL. Please help us to not respond selfishly instead, allow us to RESPOND WITH LOVE. In YESHUA, JESUS CHRIST’s Name we pray. Amen. - A Servant’s Wisdom and The Source Part 24 Wisdom: “A grudge is the one things that does not get better when it is nursed.” ~ Unknown The Source AKA The Word This Wisdom Came From: “You shall not take vengeance, nor bear any grudge against the children of your people; but you shall love your neighbor as yourself. I Am Yahweh.” Leviticus 19:18 WEB “Love is patient and is kind; love doesn’t envy. Love doesn’t brag, is not proud, doesn’t behave itself inappropriately, doesn’t seek its own way, is not provoked, takes no account of evil; doesn’t rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.” 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 WEB “Don’t seek revenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to God’s wrath. For it is written, “Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord.” Romans 12:19 WEB “Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Because the Philistines have dealt by revenge, and have taken vengeance with despite of soul to destroy with perpetual hostility; therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh, Behold, I will stretch out my hand on the Philistines, and I will cut off the Cherethites, and destroy the remnant of the sea coast. I will execute great vengeance on them with wrathful rebukes; and they shall know that I am Yahweh, when I shall lay my vengeance on them.” Ezekiel 25:15-17 WEB “Behold, God is mighty, and doesn’t despise anyone. He is mighty in strength of understanding.” Job 36:5 WEB “A fool despises his father’s correction, but he who heeds reproof shows prudence.” Proverbs 15:5 WEB “One who despises his neighbor is void of wisdom, but a man of understanding holds his peace.” Proverbs 11:12 WEB Prayer: Dear Father God, Thank You for Your Word, Your Love, and for The Immense Gift of Peace. Thank You for hearing us and teaching us. Abba, may you put it in our hearts to relinquish our grudges, and Love our neighbor. Give us the faith to know You hear us, and the assurance in how You teach us. Let us not trust in our own understanding, but let us trust in You. Bless you Father. Bless You Yeshua. Thank You for The Truth and Your Everlasting Word of Teaching. May We Bless You with Our Mouths, May we Glorify You with our thoughts, May we Love You with our actions, and May We Always Rely On The Constant Love and Faithfulness In Your Word, for We Know You Are True. Thank You Father... for everything. In Our King Yeshua’s Name, Jesus Christ, we pray these things to You Father. Amen! “For The Word of The Lord (YHVH, Yahweh) is right; and all His Work is done in faithfulness.” Psalm 33:4 AMPC “Listen to counsel, receive instruction, and accept correction, That you may be wise in the time to come.” Proverbs 19:20 AMP “But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it, and how from infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.” 2 Timothy 3:14-17 NIV 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 And... Feasting On Living Bread 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 “Feast On Living Bread!” 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 “Also Your righteousness, O God, is very high, You who have done great things; O God, who is like You?” Psalms 71:19 Good Morning Wednesday...
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. - Worry or Afraid? You Shouldn’t Be. Here’s Why… 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. Be encouraged to find somewhere you can watch this Word of God-Filled video and really meditate on what Our Father is telling us. May we all be encouraged in God Almighty’s Word and the beautiful promises He makes us, His children. 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 We 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 going through a storm or 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 Tuesday...
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 32) Our Father Is God. He Wants Us To Know Who He Is. He Shows His Character, Wisdom, Omnipotence, Power, Mercy, Justice, Omniscience, and Glory All Through His Word... Just For Us. His Greatest Gift...He Sent His Son So We Could Get To Know Him Better. He Let Him Be Sacrificed So We Would Know How Much He Loves Us. He Is A King. He Is The Creator. He Is Our Reason For Being. Today, let's go through The Bible and see just who He Says He Is. When He Tells Us Who He Is we can grow, understand Him more clearly, draw closer, and try to imitate Him and His Perfect Character better. As we go through Scripture, searching out His Character and Names, Be encourage 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...

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. A big thank you to our late Brother, John W. Ritenbaugh, and berean.org for today’s devotion. - A Berean Breakdown: In The Last Days - 2 Timothy 3:1-5 "But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!" 2 Timothy 3:1-5 Self-centeredness will produce the crisis at the close of this age. Its evils will reach a climax that can be compared to the time just before the Flood or to Sodom and Gomorrah. Self-centeredness, everyone having his own perception of beauty and pursuing it to the nth degree, is the driving force behind the perilous time of the end. It will be a time that fits the description in Judges 21:25 when "everyone did what was right in his own eyes." During the period of the judges no one could provide central leadership because people said, "This is what I believe; this is what I'm going to follow." So it will be at the end. People will abuse one another to possess the things they hold to be beautiful, like money or power. "[Men will be] . . . lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good" (II Timothy 3:2-3). The concept of "men will be lovers of themselves" (verse 2) continues in verse 5: "[H]aving a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!" Verse 7 identifies them further: these people are "always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth." Within God's warning of what it will be like at the end, He lists the traits that Christians must fight against when self-centeredness reaches its peak. But the Laodicean does not resist as he should, and that is his problem! Though converted, he has an attitude of self-centeredness, strong enough that his mind is diverted from more important spiritual concerns! Good Morning Sunday...

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. Our Living Bread and Healing Water aka The Word of God: “I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well.” Psalms 139:14 “Do not remember the former things, Nor consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing, Now it shall spring forth; Shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness And rivers in the desert.” Isaiah 43:18-19 “above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.” Ephesians 6:16 “For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.” Ephesians 2:10 “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says The LORD (YHWH, Yahweh), thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.” Jeremiah 29:11 “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Philippians 4:13 “Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.” Romans 8:37 |
