Good Morning Following-Yeshua-In-Faith-Friday (Preparation Day)....…
ABBA, God of The Entire Universe, THANK YOU that You are the same yesterday, today, and forevermore. You have said that You will fight for us while we remain still, TRUSTING IN YOU alone. May WE SEE Your VICTORY in our lives. KEEP US MINDFUL that there is no power greater than You, and that when we cling to You and stay in Your Will … nothing standing against us can prosper. SHOW US YOUR FAVOR Father, soften our hearts, and LEAD US IN THE WAY. WE ASK these things IN YESHUA, JESUS CHRIST’S MIGHTY NAME. AMEN! Only 3 days until Passover Mishpocha (Family)! Get that leaven out! 😃👑🙌 The last few days have been extremely busy in this ministry, and this morning we are sending off a Sister who is starting a new chapter in her Life. Prayers for traveling mercies for our Sweet Sister In Yeshua Kim. May Our Heavenly Father and Magnificent Savior guide you on your journey with His Mighty Right Hand. Love you Sister, and remember… you will always be in our prayers! 😃 Needless to say, there hasn’t been much time to write with all that is going on. Prayerfully your brother will be able to “wrap-up” the devotions being written, and have the newest content out soon. Until then, because this morning is another busy morning, and because we are 3 days away from Passover, let’s review “3 Days” in Biblical terms. This devotion has been very well received, and this servant’s prayer is that it turns on the proverbial “light bulb” and leads to revelation in your own Bible Studies. As we move closer to The Coming of The King, and as the days get darker, we can take heart knowing Our Father is working out an amazing plan. Being that we are in “The Third Day,” prophetically speaking, since Our Savior’s Resurrection, there are a couple of things we can take heart in: 1.) Yeshua, Jesus Christ Our Savior, is on His Way: “And DO THIS, KNOWING THE TIME, that now IT IS HIGH TIME TO AWAKE OUT OF SLEEP; FOR OUR SALVATION (Yeshua) IS NEARER THAN WHEN WE FIRST BELIEVED. The night is far spent, the day is at hand. Therefore LET US CAST OFF THE WORKS OF DARKNESS, and LET US PUT ON THE ARMOR OF LIGHT. Let us walk properly, as in the day, not in revelry and drunkenness, not in lewdness and lust, not in strife and envy. But put on The LORD Jesus Christ, and MAKE NO PROVISION FOR THE FLESH, to fulfill its lusts.” Romans 13:11-14 and 2.) He Is going to change things very quickly when He comes: “Behold (Shema), I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed— IN A MOMENT, IN THE TWINKLING OF AN EYE, at The Last Trumpet. For The Trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.” I Corinthians 15:51-52 MAY WE ALL CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS AND STAND FIRM IN CHRIST. MAY WE ALL CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR THE WIDOWS, THE ORPHANS, THE SICK, THE HURTING, AND THE CHILDREN WHOM ARE BEING TRAUMATIZED THROUGH THESE STRANGE TIMES WE LIVE IN. FINALLY, MAY WE ALL TAKE HEART KNOWING ALL THINGS ARE IN OUR FATHER’S HANDS AND THAT “ALL THINGS WORK FOR THE GOOD OF THOSE WHO LOVE HIM!” (Romans 8:28) Have a great prep day, weekend, and Sabbath my Brothers and Sisters, and remember... WE WERE BORN FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS! 🔥🙌👑 - Shema (Behold/Listen/Hear) My Children!, A Lot Can Happen In 3 Days!!! (c) When we look in Scripture it is easy to see that a lot can happen in 3 days. Obviously, Our Savior and His 3 days in the grave, which He spectacularly conquered, is what our minds picture when we think about change happening in 3 days, but there are many more prophetic pictures for us to glean. Let's take at a look a few more 3 day events in The Scripture and see where it leads us: After Only 3 Days of Journey From Mount Sinai Some Israelites Began To Complain: “So they departed from the mountain of The LORD (Yahweh) on a journey of THREE DAYS; and The Ark of The Covenant of The LORD (Yahweh) went before them for the THREE DAYS’ journey, to search out a resting place for them. And The Cloud of The LORD (Yahweh) was above them by day when they went out from the camp. So it was, whenever The Ark set out, that Moses said: “Rise up, O LORD (Yahweh)! Let Your enemies be scattered, And let those who hate You flee before You.” And when It rested, he said: “Return, O LORD (Yahweh), To the many thousands of Israel.” “Now when the people complained, it displeased The LORD (Yahweh); for The LORD (Yahweh) heard it, and His Anger was aroused. So The Fire of The LORD (Yahweh) burned among them, and consumed some in the outskirts of the camp.” Numbers 10:33-11:1 NKJV Wow… Our Father brings His people out of Egypt, performs AMAZING Signs and Wonders to save them, marries them at Sinai (wowing them the whole time), and now 3 days later they begin to complain. We think that is crazy, right? This servant used to think that very same thing. A hard look in the mirror, some pondering, and prayer on this led somewhere else. It was like a riddle that was waiting to be solved, and this servant was determined to solve it. Why did they act this way?! Speaking of riddles, let's take a look at the 3 days when a certain philistine king couldn't figure out Samson's riddle: “But if you cannot explain it to me, then you shall give me thirty linen garments and thirty changes of clothing.” And they said to him, “Pose your riddle, that we may hear it.” So he said to them: “Out of the eater came something to eat, And out of the strong came something sweet.” Now for three days they could not explain the riddle.” Judges 14:13-14 NKJV Although he cheated to get the answer, this “uncircumcised”philistine king did eventually get the answer. After 3 days of being led in God’s Word, pondering the complaining Israelites during their 3 day journey, and prayer… this servant came to an answer as well. It was startling. I was just like them! I came to the conclusion, upon serious self-evaluation, that I too was like them! What?! How could this be?! Now maybe my complaints were a little different, but they were complaints nonetheless. I couldn't believe it. I had been calling the Israelites crazy and rebellious for complaining for years, and now I was beginning to see that my actions and words weren’t so very different. This was very humbling to say the least. God Our Father’s Word tells us: “God is not a man, that He should lie, nor a son of humankind, that He should change His Mind. Has He Said, and will He not do it? And has He Spoken, and will He not fulfill it?” Numbers 23:19 LEB Thank God for that! He has told us that He Will Save Us and we have faith He Will. He doesn't break promises, and He doesn't change His Mind once He Has Spoken It. We could really spend a lot of time explaining how this servant, and pretty much all of us, aren't so different from those Israelites in the desert, but that's not the point today. The point is that 3 days of pondering on God’s Word, Bible Study, prayer, and self-evaluation can accomplish much. When we “ask” (Matthew 7:7) in sincerity and Truth, we can be assured Our Father and Savior will give us an answer. A lot can happen in 3 days. A complete transformation can occur, giants can be slain, mountains can move, and nations can be born. First we complain, then we are riddled, ponder and pray, next we are humbled (and hopefully repent 🎯), but what next? Well, in God's Awesome Power to make awesome and transforming things happen in three days... Let's take a look at Joshua (A picture of Yeshua, Jesus Christ🔥) in The Word and see what he did in 3 days: Joshua Leading Israel to The Promise Land: “Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people, saying, “Pass through the camp and command the people, saying, ‘Prepare provisions for yourselves, for within THREE DAYS you will cross over this Jordan, to go in to possess the land which The LORD (Yahweh) your God is giving you to possess.’ ”“Remember the word which Moses the servant of The LORD (Yahweh) commanded you, saying, ‘The LORD (Yahweh) your God is giving you rest and is giving you this land.’” Joshua 1:10-11, 13 There you have it. 3 days to prepare and then we take the land ladies and gentlemen! First we complain about "the crazy Israelites," then we realize we are more like them than we thought. This is when we are humbled, seeing our own need for a Savior. This is where we meet Yeshua Ha’Mashiach (Jesus The Messiah)... when we are humble. This is where God Begins Preparations inside of us to prophetically “take the land!” AKA Heaven AKA The New Earth AKA New Jerusalem. This is when we find The Path To Our Freedom, Shalom (Divine Peace/Wholeness), and The New Life that God Has Promised us. Yeshua, Jesus Christ, is Our Savior and in His Word, He has told us to prepare... For in 3 days He Will Return. He did it in a literal 3 days, and He is also going to do it in a prophetic 3 days also. Brothers and Sister, we are now in that Prophetic 3rd Day! “But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with The LORD one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.” II Peter 3:8 NKJV Think about how many times the Israelites complained, then were riddled with problems, God humbled them, and then they repented and God Blessed them. It happened over and over and over, and the journey really isn't so different for us today. The major advantage we have today? We can learn from the Israelites mistakes in God's Word and by The Power of The Holy Spirit (Ruach Ha’Kodesh), The Spirit of Truth (John 16:13)… we can do better. This humble servant firmly believes all the stories in The Bible are put there for us to be stronger, to grow, and to try with all our heart, strength, and mind to do better... because Our Father Wrote These Events To Help Us. God's Word Is A Lamp, A Light, for all of us to see our failures and shortcomings and then be able to Accept That Word, which is Jesus Christ, and be led back to Him. That is when, like Joshua, Yeshua begins leading us back to The Promised Land. Our Promised Land is going to be much better though, for the picture we get in the book of Joshua is but a shadow of things to come. Exciting isn't it?! So, the next time you are in a "bad spot," having a rough time, frustrated with life, or just plain wiped out. Take 3 days. Do some Bible Study, meditate on God's Word, say some prayers, be still, patient, and wait on Our Father. He has made it abundantly clear...Shema (Behold) My Children!, A Lot Can Happen In 3 Days!!! 😎🙌🔥 “Behold, I AM coming quickly! Blessed is he who keeps The Words of The Prophecy of This Book.” Revelation 22:7 NKJV Please leave any questions, comments, insights, Biblical Nuggets, encouragement, prayer requests, or thoughts in the comments below.
