Good Morning Terrific Tuesday…
ABBA, God of The Entire Universe, THANK YOU that You are the same yesterday, today, and forever. 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! - THE NEW… Part 1 Who doesn’t like new things, right? Whether it is new friends, gadgets, books, activities, tools, or any other new thing, it is nice to get new. Even if things get bought used, they are new to us and we Love them. There is something about newness that seems to make everyone happy. As awesome as new may be, as happy as it may make us, as excited as we may be, there is one thing about something new that we can all probably agree on… new doesn’t last very long. In today’s world it seems new lasts for less and less time. A blink of the eyes and the newness of things seems to be gone. Think about it, how often these days do we have to: Update, upgrade, install, redownload, or replace? These things are seemingly part of everyday life. Because the newness of things seems to last less and less these days, many get caught in the trap of chasing after new things day after day. Now think about this, the most important new thing you will ever receive is not something that you can install, upgrade, buy, trade, or sell. The amazing and awesome thing about this “new thing” is that it never stops being new. It never needs to be replaced, it never wears out, and it never leaves you. “What is the amazing new thing?!,” you may ask. Well, this amazing new thing is a New Life, and there is only one Source to receive this absolutely amazing, Life-changing, New Life. Yeshua Ha’Mashiach, Jesus Christ The King. Our Mighty King and Savior told us in no uncertain terms that our New Life all starts with a New Birth. Let’s take a look: “Yeshua answered, “Most certainly I tell you, unless one is born of water and Spirit, he can’t enter into God’s Kingdom.” Yochanan (John) 3:5 WMB Want to hear something about this New Life that is more amazing than any “new” thing you will ever receive? It is a gift and it is free. Our New Life is a 100% free gift offered to anyone, anywhere, at anytime who decides to turn to Yeshua, Jesus Christ, and put their trust and faith in Him. Here is the paradox of this New Life: It is a free gift, but it is costly. This New Life requires our surrender to The Creator of All Things, His Rule, and His Love each and everyday. It is free, costly, and The Most Amazing Thing Any Of Us Will Receive While On This Earth! None of us deserves a New Life, but because of Our King, Creator, Messiah, Savior, and His Kindness, Mercy, Long-suffering, and Love, He offers it to us despite our unworthiness. As we move on from the season of Our Father’s Holy Fall Festivals, which included The Birth of Our Mighty Savior in the flesh, and move towards the next year of amazing work Our Father is accomplishing, may none of us fail to recognize the most important new thing we will ever receive, NEW LIFE! A few questions to ponder on: Are you caught in the snare of chasing “new things?” What are some of those new things you are chasing after? Why? Where did your New Life with The King of Glory Yeshua Ha’Mashiach, Jesus Christ, begin? Think back on that. How did it feel? Who were you with? Are you celebrating your New Life each and every day? If not, why not? How are some ways you can do that today? The New Life Word: “We were buried therefore with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead through The Glory of The Father, so we also might walk in NEWNESS OF LIFE. For if we have become united with Him in the likeness of His death, we will also be part of His resurrection; knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be done away with, so that we would no longer be in bondage to sin. For he who has died has been freed from sin. But if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with Him; knowing that Christ, being raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no more has dominion over Him! For the death that He died, He died to sin one time; but The Life that He lives, He lives to God. Thus consider yourselves also to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord. Therefore don’t let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts. Also, do not present your members to sin as instruments of unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God, as alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.” Romans 6:4-13 WEB “Behold, I will do A NEW THING. It springs out now. Don’t you know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.” Isaiah 43:19 WEB “Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is A NEW CREATION. The old things have passed away. Behold, ALL THINGS have BECOME NEW.” 2 Corinthians 5:17 WEB Please leave any questions, comments, insights, Biblical Nuggets, encouragement, or thoughts in the comments below.
