II Peter 1:3; specifically mine, but I’ll share. Exodus 13: 9&10, Deuteronomy 6:6-8, Colossians 3:16&17, Hebrews 8:10&11, Jeremiah 31:31-36, Ezekiel 36:22-27, Matthew 22:37-39, II Corinthians 3:3&4, Proverbs 4:20-27, Luke 10:19
I Samuel 3:6, John 10:7-9. 11:25&26, Revelation 3:19&20, 3:8-13…as I will always do and encourage you to follow I John 4:1. In all things that we do.
We have a tendency to forget that God does not function on our timeline and that He is the creator of time. Go to Genesis chapter one and see that Hi voice separated the night and the day, creating the passage of time. Too, that a thousand years is as a day…Our Heavenly Father is a waymaker, promise keeper and THAT is who He is. In all our rebellious attitude; He still comes, still loves, still provides and still protects. Psalm 9:9&10, 4:8, Daniel 1:12-17, 2:21&22, 6:3, 6:22723.
Beguiled is being influenced by trickery, flattery; mislead or deluded, to take away by trickery or cheating deceiving, to charm or divert. This is what Christ tells us about the devil and example of this is found in John 10:10. Keep in mind that he can only take what we allow him or his minions to have. If we don’t hold onto the joy and peace that is given us by our Lord we have given it away. It was not robbed. The metaphor of the sheep is very applicable and the telling us of the thief is not so metaphorical, but rather the very description of the devil. Genesis 3:1-13. The serpent beguiled me…Satan continues in this manner and relies on the weakness of our minds and gets us to believe the thoughts are our own; when in fact, it is the white noise to draw our focus from the truth. Genesis 3, John 10:10, John 11.
This of course is the proverbial “million dollar” question. The time for God is not just prayer time, Bible study, going to church; it is the entire aspect of BEING a true believer. Being of Christ and from Christ and not just that verbal declaration, but truly Emmanuel; God in us, God with us. Showing out what is His truth and in truth and spirit. Mark 10{entirety} 10:17-24, 10:44.
Deuteronomy 6:4-9, Proverbs 22:6, 3:12, 19:18, Ecclesiastes 4:12, Ephesians 4:6. God speaks to us in His language through the world around us; as the song tells us that heaven and nature sing; are you listening, rocks, hills and plains repeat the sounding joy; are you listening? With the languages of God spoken all around us; are you taking the time to teach the children and raise them up in the way they should go?
Do not be afraid to ask or enquirer of God. Many believe the false notion that it is not permissible to ask God. A true misconception. An example we find first in I Samuel 23:4…and David enquirer of the Lord, God…as well as nine other times documented in scripture that David enquired of God. It’s okay to ask. Remember, ye have not because ye ask not. Christ teaches as well as Paul writes in his letters. Failing to ask God means you don’t get the information necessary to fulfill His desires for us and others. Please don’t go it on your own. Be in communication with our Heavenly Father and wait on the Lord as we are told to do. Most importantly; as we are reminded in the scriptures in Psalm 37{read entirely}, 37:7 Rest IN the Lord and wait PATIENTLY for Him….
Are we relinquishing control or are we just giving up and walking away? Things in life can become veery frustrating, never forget that our Lord God is all. His omniscience gives Him vision in all we are going through, His omnipotence gives Him strength to guide and protect us, His omnipresence is His always being present in, through and all about us. Genesis chapter one is testament to His power and authority. We find eight times in the testimony of the creation where by His word things came into existence. Simply by speaking it so and by Him all things consist; not just existing, but consisting.
I firmly believe that resolutions are made because of comparisons. Do you have or don’t have, are you skinny enough, have enough muscles? Hear this now and we are told in the scriptures; Acts 10:34&35; God favors NO man{or woman}; what you have or don’t have is of no import to. Him. The character of your heart is what He sees and knows. So, all the STUFF is for show here on this plain of existence and you definitely can’t take it with. I Corinthians 3:22, Romans 8:28, II Corinthians 4:15, Revelation 5:8, Acts 10: 34&35, I Samuel 12:24, 13:13&14, Acta 13:22, 13:15, 13:44-52. The Apostles taking delight of their being run out of the city because Christ told us this very thing would happen. Reviled for His sake; Matthew 5:11.
This definition for the word protocol; although number eight in order, is primary and specifically speaks to the word of God, the Bible. Statements reporting an observance or of an experience in the most fundamental terms WITHOUT interpretation; taken as the basis of EMPIRICAL evidence and verification. Genesis 1, 17, 18, 19. Seek the truth and the truth will set you free. John 10:31&32.
This is the capital Oh and is very important in the characteristics for Hashem, the Lord thy God. He is Omniscient: all knowing, He is Omnipresent: always with us, before us, behind us and all around us. God is Omnipotent: He is all powerful. Psalm 121, John 3{entirety}, 3:14, II Peter 3:1-18, Psalm 90:4, Genesis 1:1-31, 15:1 relates to God’s word to Abram to be his shield and protector. Hebrews 1:3, Luke 1:37, 10:18, I Corinthians 1:24, Philippians 4:13, Matthew 6:7-15…His power and glory forever and as we should learn in v.15; sovereignty belongs to God alone and we do not make the determinations of who and who does not.
Can you boldly share the truth that you know as John writes about. Do you KNOW that Christ Jesus came and in the flesh died for you and the rest of the world. II John 6{entirety}, John 17:21, 17:3, 20:24…
Remember that in order to have appropriate directions, you must be able to read a map, have a GPS{listen to it}, or a very good guide. Faith in that the detour is the road as given direction by the Holy Spirit. God’s GPS for us. Freely given to those that believe and listen. John 6{entirety}Vs.62-66, I John 4:1, John 4: 21-24, 34. Worship in TRUTH and spirit. Attempting to placate Hashem…not going to work as He is omniscient. Knows all things.
John 10; Christ teaches us of the truth and it important to be truthful always. He tells us that the truth will set us free. There are no variances of it as truth is truth period. Jeremiah 9:3 speaks to the “bending” of truth. I Corinthians 12 speaks to being of one spirit and I tell you now that lies and deception take that away. As we are taught that lies come from he who seek is to come in for to rob, steal, kill and destroy. Jesus is teaching us of spiritual death. Stand up, circumspect and have on the armor that God made for you. Stay true to the Word, be compassionate and shine out that which He has put in us. His love. Merry CHRISTmas and be blessed.
John 14, Proverbs 12:22-28, Jeremiah 9:3, Matthew 23:13-36, John 4, John 8, John 7. These speak to the. Truth and it is Him that brings it to us and Christ is the truth. The Pharisees sought to destroy Christ because in their eyes and in THEIR truth, he was exposing them. However the real truth; they were doing that all by themselves. When Christ taught, he taught with real authority and not as the scribes and the Pharisees did.
Declare to all the earth the Lord has come. Come all ye faithful and testify to His truth. Isaiah 2:3, 7:13-15, Matthew 1:23, Isaiah 9:5-7, 8:20, Matthew 5:13, Isaiah 25:8&9, 42{entire}v.12-18, 53, Matthew 5, Isaiah 55, John 6.
Don’t be distracted by the detours established by man or mammon; they are established oft times in lies and deceit. The truth comes from God the Father and Christ the Son and our King; too from the Holy Spirit that Christ told us He will send the other comforter when He leaves this plain of existence. Again the question asked; He speaks, are you listening? Luke 17:20-37, 21:8-38, Romans 1:7, Hebrews 11:1, John 14 speaking to Christ and His departure, but the giving of the Comforter. I John 4:1, II Timothy 2:15-19, 3:12, II Corinthians 5:5-9, Isaiah 40:31.
There are sadly so many that will prefer the lies and deceit over the truth and integrity. Stay in truth and always let your yay be yay and your nay be nay. No bending, no white lie as long as it isn’t hurting; it is STILL a lie and not acceptable to Hashem. The Lord your God does not approve. Psalm 12:6-8, Proverbs 19:1&11,21:2, 23:1-12, Psalm 141:1-4, Ruth 3:10, Isaiah 5:8-12, Psalm 10:1-12, 37:30-33>39&40, Proverbs 20:17, Psalm 10:7.
God does speak and we must be attuned to His voice; are you listening? Do not be deceived for there are many that will try to convince you that God does not speak directly anymore and there is NO scripture that will give credence to this. God does and will, just be attentive and as with all His gifts; he does share them with His children. His word is still given directly to some and indirectly in teachings or sermons; logos and rhema as they are called in Greek. His truth and His only. Isaiah 62, Matthew 4:3, Isaiah 63 as a whole and specifically Isaiah 63:8, 55:10, John 1:1-17 is the testimony for John to the divinity and truth of Christ Jesus our Lord, King, Redeemer, Love and my friend. Yours too if you will believe truly and simply ask it to be so.
Beware the leaven of the Pharisees as Christ Jesus warned us and I tell you this that there are those that practice pharisaism in the church body today. This comes from the Latin pharisaismus; the observance of external forms of religion without GENUINE belief; hypocrisy. Claiming to be one thing and not carrying the life, light and truth in their hearts. John talked about those in his letters. Stating one thing but not truly believing that Christ Jesus came in the flesh; they then are liars. Pretty straight forward. John 8:44, Matthew 16:9, 21:5, 23:27&28, Ezekiel 22:23-31.
There are numerous scriptures that remind us to listen to the voice of God and knowing that voice. It takes practice and learning to hear through the interruptions, turbulence and the white noise interference. I Samuel 3, I Kings 19:21, Luke 2:19 speaks to the voice given to Mary from the angel messenger and she kept things things in her heart. Genesis 22 speaks to Abram listening to the voice of God; John 10, Matthew 4:4, Matthew 25:22, Isaiah 55:4-11, II Peter 3:8.
Isaiah 46:4, 43:17, Matthew 5:13, Isaiah 43:1, I Thessalonians 5:19; Be that salt that has not lost its savor and quench not the Spirit; when that fire rises within and the Word comes and that mighty wind comes from on high; do not quench that very thing that will sustain you.
Stop with the excuses and just follow His directions. Be about our Heavenly Father’s business and bless others with the gifts He has so freely given you to share with others. Proverbs 27:1, Matthew 6:34, 10:8, 10:17-19, 7:9-11, 6:9-13,6:34, Luke 6:38, Acts3:6.
The minions of Satan and those that follow the leadings of them that pervert the Word of God; they seek to thwart the efforts of truth and righteousness. Be strong and courageous because the blessed assurances of Hashem in His sovereignty is where we get the power. We are weak, but He is strong. Mattthew 10:19, Genesis 6:5, Deuteronomy 3:22, John 3:16-22, Romans 8:38&39, Hebrews 11:1,II Timothy 1:7-9.
I Corinthians 1:2, 1:9-11, Proverbs 27:23, I Peter 5:2-6, John 8:25-48, 9:1-23, 10:1-42, 10:11-13, Matthew 5:13, 16:6-12 and Paul’s warning to the church at Corinth to the leaven; I Corinthians 5:5-13.
Not only are we to tell others about the free gift of redemption given of God, how to have a relationship with Him, praise and honor Him, but we are to lead by example.the best lesson that can possibly be shared. How, if we ourselves are not practicing that very thing we speak of, then there is no truth in us and it is for self worth and not for the glory of God. I am about my Father’s business and share His truth and only His truth; not my own and not for self worth or the validation from man and mammon. His is the ONLY validation I seek. Be bold courageous and upright in righteousness brothers and sisters.
Luke 24: 46-53, Acts 1:1-5, 2:1-12, Matt. 16:21, 17:23, Luke 9:22, Psalm 37:39&40, Isaiah 46:4 Sharing again the scriptures that speak to His rescue and fighting for us. His assurances and truths.
He gives us blessed assurances of rescue and coming when we are in a struggle or in need. Not because we have earned it or deserve it, but rather it His grace and love that bears out His promises. John 3:16-22, Matt. 16:12, 17:23, Luke 9:22, Psalm 37:39&40, Isaiah 46:4. Duet. 1:30-32, Jeremiah 1:19.
What’s so important out there in tomorrow that requires such a frenzied lifestyle? Christ teaches that worrying about tomorrow cannot add a single moment to your life. Spending time with God our Father is the important thing and what we need to slow down and take part in. He desires a personal relationship. Lamentations 3:22-25, Psalm 37:7{read entire chapter}, Isaiah 30:15-18, 64:4, 40:31, James 5:11{speaking to Christ’s compassion&mercy}
King of Kings and Lord of Lords; yet humbly born, humbly living while here and rejected of man to be crucified. For us to all have an opportunity to be saved by the grace of God and be heirs and joint heirs with Christ our King. Numbers 24:17, I Samuel 2:2-9, Matthew 6:9-13.
The love of Christ and His teachings as we find in the Word of God; being of one mind and one thought in His love is the tie that binds. We can though to allow ourselves to be bound by not forgiving and staying in darkness; full of anger and animosity. Choose the path of His love and light. Numbers 14:18, Psalm 103:10-12,1:1&2, 32:1-7, Matthew 6:9-15, Acts 2:38&39, I John 1:7-10, Hebrews 9:22.
One is not required to live as if they are in a monastery to be alone with God or to practice His presence. Inside monks had definitive prayer schedules, study schedules and meditation times. Aside from chores, meals and worship. Understand this, that when I’ve mentioned the sacrifice of time, prayer or worshipping God during your day; God KNOWS your schedule and sees that you are making time for Him. He will honor that as a sacrifice to Him. However, putting the guys or the girls first and getting to go, go, go with them in the hustle and bustle instead; that is diminishing His sovereignty and putting others as well as self before God. Not only in the comparative lesson Christ teaches us with the Pharisee and the publican, but when we allow Him to be diminished and vaunt ourselves…Luke 18:14…for everyone that exhalteth himself shall be abased and he that hunbleth himself shall be exhalted. Psalm 4:4, 4:8, 16:7, 18:13, 25:21, 27:4-8, 12:14, 32:4&7, 37: 1-16, Psalm 39&40.
Revenant fear is a good thing and it guides to wisdom so that one does not present themself arrogantly before God. He is not only our Heavenly Father, He is our King, the Creator of all things and is worthy of praise and glory; not our arrogance or self righteous behavior. Deuteronomy 31:6, Joshua 1:9, Isaiah 41:10, 40:28-31, 27:1, 23, Proverbs 1:27, Psalm 1:10, 4:8, 23.
There may be those that will say that a term that was in my study book from class is not relevant and outdated. Oh, i whole heartedly disagree. Even more relevant and necessary today. Monastic Imagination is separating from all the hustle and the bustle of daily life, chores, work, social networking so you don’t get unfriended; oh so much more important than spending time with God or practicing His presence. Look at this word very closely and notice if you will the spelling…P-R—I—-D-E. That letter right smack in the middle of it is I. All the ram rodding around and all we complain about certainly seems to stem mostly from that I word. Deuteronomy 6:5, Colossians 3:23. Psalm 16:11, 86:12.
Be cautious and wary of those that openly announce their being a prophet or having a prophetic word from God. Especially within a congregation or in a crowded place. It is their own vaunting and not to glorify God. Psalm 31:20, Genesis 28:11-16
This must not be kept as a tacit knowledge and left unspoken. It is important to share with others and expressed through faith that Christ dwells within my heart and as does the love of God that is immeasurable. Psalm 16:II, Ephesians 3, 3:17-19, Hebrews 11:2
God calls us and anoints us to various needs in the body. Respond as a willing PARTICIPANT; meaning ready to roll up pour sleeves and do our part. There are those that are willing to just sit idly by and let the world pass by…Isaiah 8:4-9, Ezekiel 37:11, John 4:23&24, Colossians 3:16, Psalm 100, Zechariah 13:9
The white noise of the enemy is to separate us from God and to have us run away from instead of to. Just keep in mind that WE are the ones that draft the dissolution of the relationship with God. His desire is that we draw close to Him and have to enjoy a personal relationship with Him. I Samuel 8:4-9, Isaiah 9: 6-12. Keep in mind always that God’s thoughts are not ours and attempting to utilize our finite ways leads to confusion, disappointment and for some; simply annoyance and then the separation from God by choice. Isaiah 55:8&9, Colsssians 4:2, Psalm 116:17.
God loves, He provides, He blesses in our walk and He promises that in this plain of existence He is with us always. There is Enoch who was taken and not found because He walked with God and it is said that he pleased God. The only thing that God desires of us is our love and to be about His truth and share the opportunity for others to experience Him. Genesis 16; speaks to Hagar’s faith and believing in God. She called Him my God who sees me. Hagar was not Hebrew, but she was Egyptian. Jude 14-25 Hebrews 11:5&6, Ephesians 6:12, Philippians 2:9&10, I Peter 1:8&9.
Remember always that no matter what we are going through or where in our walk we are; there He is also. He reminds us throughout His word that He is there with us. The prophet Isaiah reminds us; But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles, they shall run and not be weary; walk and not faint. Isaiah 41:10, Matthew 5, I Corinthians 10:12&13, Proverbs 3:5&6, James 1:12-20, Psalm 73:26, 46:5, Isaiah 9:6, John 20:19-21, Psalm 25:4.
True knowledge comes from experience and NOT from reading about or being told about. True knowledge is and comes from truth; remembering that Christ Jesus is the truth we must seek after and in doing that, we are seeking and will find the face of God. He desires a personal relationship with us. Seek it with Him. I Chronicles 16:11, II Chronicles 7:14, Psalm 27: 4-8.
God desires a personal relationship with us; His children. In seeking His face we are drawing into that rather than just having information about Him; we are coming to KNOW Him. Jeremiah 31:3, Lamentations 3:22-25, I Chronicles 16:11, II Chronicles 7:14, Psalm 27:4-8.
Never ending, pace never slackening, coming always, loving always, always watching and never slumbering. He is our good Father and the Good Shepherd…John 1:1, Romans 8:38&39, Psalms 23, Luke 10:19, 17:1, Matthew 5:10&11, John 16:33, Psalm 12:8, Luke 10:41, Philippians 3:20&21…
Psalm 100, 150, Romans 8:1 are scriptures that are important in that worshiping or praising God; giving of thanks is not a denominational thing, it’s a God thing and we give thanks unto the Lord because He is worthy and not because man or mammon tell us how or to do it.
In our daily walk with Him, we are sharing and practicing His presence; importantly observing that He pours into us His love and the Holy Spirit guides us in that way. Remember to center Christ in our lives and DO NOT buy into self reliance and the false doctrinal teaching of self help. That is directly contrary to Biblical teaching and looking to establish you as sovereign and that is NOT given to us. I urge you to exercise caution in this regard. John 14:27, Isaiah 58:11, 40:11
Remember always that God has given us a free will to choose…I choose assurance over the false hope of insurance in all things because insurance will often times fail. Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine, oh what a foretaste of Glory devine. Heir of salvation, purchase of God. Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood. I Peter 5, Psalm 139:1-14, John 3: 16-22, Romans 8:38&39, Ephesians 3:16-19. Psalm 107:21&22.
The Holy Spirit is described in numerous locations throughout the scriptures as the Breath of God, a mighty wind and we find it so in the book of Acts. In the upper room on the day of Pentecost; they heard a sound that was like a rushing mighty wind. The Breath of God is in my lungs every day so shall the praise of Him be on my lips. Going out and coming in I will thank Him and praise Him. Mark 13;11, Colossians3:15, Acts 2:2-8, 9:18, Revelation 19:3-6, Psalm 100:4.
Focusing on God is the import of our daily walk. He is our sovereign, but we are reminded in His Word that this is indeed a fallen world in which we live and that must not be forgotten. It is His truth and knowledge that leads us into wisdom and guidance of the Holy Spirit. This plain of existence is fallen because of the choices made of man, but we are also to share the truth and gospel of God to remind others that the Kingdom of Heaven is freely offered by God our Father and He will make us heirs and joint heirs with Christ Jesus. Give thanks to God from whom ALL blessings flow and rejoice in this day; for today is the day the Lord hath made. Psalm 117, 118:24&28, 116:17.
Be mindful that as we go through the day; thank God frequently. As we do this, the practice opens up to praying without ceasing, as we are reminded by the letters of Paul. Seriously intent to be able to pray without ceasing takes practice and being thankful in all things is the primary way to do this. As a TRUE believer and a TRUE Christian it is important to learn these things. Never forget that as David reminds us, God will incline His ear to us. Psalm 116:2, 136, I Timothy 2:1&2, I Thessalonians 5:16-18, James 4:8, Romans 15:13.
Luke 17: 11-19, Psalm 100; the instruction of how we are to give thanks unto God. Coming to His gates, entering His courts and in entering His sanctuary. David uses four of seven of the primary words of giving thanks(praise) in one passage. Practice His presence daily and regularly throughout the day.
It is seemingly impossible to be thankful in the midst of difficult situations. Remember that there is the blessed assurance of God our Heavenly Father that He is with us no matter what, no matter where. When we read the scripture that tells us that God is with us withersoever we goest…that is NOT speaking geographically or topographically; it speaks to His being with us through all aspects of our lives and importantly, the emotional aspects. Ephesians 5:20, Psalm 118:1, 89:15.
No amount of insurance can be purchased by us: thankfully the ASSURANCE of God our Heavenly Father is all that we need in that His love shared through Christ Jesus, giving us the opportunity to be heirs and joint heirs with Him in the Kingdom of Heaven. Isaiah I:2-4, 9-13, 2:5-8, 8:19&20, 9:8, 35:1-7, 40:39, 41:10, 42:1-7, Romans 8:38&39, I Corinthians 3:11, Psalm 4:7&8. His blessed assurance. His Word, truth and light.
Insurance and assurance are not synonymous but use. We are given blessed assurances by God in the Word and these are found throughout the scriptures. Seek His truths, His knowledge and wisdom in all things. Matthew 5:11&12, 16:24, Romans 8:16, John 10:27-29, Romans 8:38&39, Luke 6:26
A third part to the thankfulness we need to keep in our hearts toward God our Heavenly Father. Thankful, prayerful, worshipful and this will open the windows of heaven so that God will our out His blessings onto those that love Him; this from His infinite resources. The never-ending love that He has for us, His children and joint heirs in the Kingdom of Heaven along with Christ Jesus, as He promises us. Romans 15:13, 14:17, Matthew 23:27&28, Ezekiel 37:10&11, Ephesians 1:3, Habakkuk 3:17&18, Psalm 46:1
God blesses us mightily and we indeed have so much to be thankful for. Sometimes it takes practice to be thankful in all things and for some it is easier. Paul reminded the church at Ephesus; do it like me, follow my example. Not at all as a braggart, but in truth. Always in truth as taught by the Holy Spirit and the very reason Saul was chosen of Christ, because he would be always truthful. Proverbs 24:14, James 1:5, Philippians 4:6, Luke 24:36, Matthew 28:20, Hebrews 13:15, II Corinthians 9:15.
He is indeed all knowing and fully aware of us, our needs and our ills. The enemy wants us to focus not on Him, but on all else and what is going on around us. Like Paul on his way to Rome by ship and the storm; the maelstrom that will come in our lives. Most importantly is that our Heavenly Father is fully aware and is with us always and He is omnipotent, all powerful. Matthew 16:1-12, Luke 24:44-49, Ephesians 2:8&9, 3:16-19, Psalm 62:8.
Learn to bear content as a simple sheep. With all the voices that vie for your attention; don’t pray like that, pray like this, worship this way, don’t worship that way; worship this deity and it’s okay to walk contrary to the Word of God, there’s no reason to bother asking for forgiveness because there’s nothing to be forgiven for. Hmmm…The Good Shepherd will lead you and guide you to green pastures, beside the still waters and his staff is to protect you, not to prod you. Romans 8:1&2, Isaiah 30:21, Philippians 4:6&7, John 7:38, Ephesians 5:18-20, I John 4:1, Romans 1:5, II Peter 3, Revelation 1-4.
The many voices that constantly tell us how to worship God or how to pray according to THEIR way. Well, know this; that God is NOT the author of confusion and there is only one way to worship God and show Him our love. That is with all our heart, soul and our mind; TOGETHER in unity and not separately. Pray for one another and all this petty bickering that ensues because of denominations is pretty ridiculous and not according to the Word of God, nor is it His wish for us to be separate. We are to be like minded and to practice being that way with each other. They will know we are Christians by our love. Really?! Do they? Are they able to see that? I Corinthians 14:27&28, 33, Romans 8:1&2, Isaiah 30:21, John 10:27, Psalm 23.
Are your wicks trimmed and the oil supply good? What is meant when God’s word speaks of that? With wicks trimmed the light will be brighter from the lamp and no smoke or pollutants. The oil supply so that the lamp will be ready all the time. How is YOUR oil? Is the spirit of truth abundant in you? Are you learning to be in fellowship with one another and know in truth that denominations mean nothing to our Heavenly Father? They do not and this is exactly what is spoken of in the scriptures when it is said that God is a respecter of no man or woman….He cares nothing of what you have or have not; cares nothing for one denomination over another. The character of the heart is all that matters to Abba. Believing that Christ Jesus came in the flesh, died for anyone and everyone to have the opportunity to be saved, adopted and be heirs and joint heirs in the Kingdom of Heaven. Faith in God and that the Holy Spirit guide and teach us. Knowing; more than just hearing about it, but KNOWING God is with us always and having a personal relationship with Him is the import, not just knowing about Him. Practice His presence. Psalm 73: 23&24, 25:4&5, I Corinthians 13:12, I Timothy 1:1-5, 2:1-8.
As we see in the Word of God and following the rule of faith; going into the second writing of the Kings we find the provision of our Lord God. Elisha told the widow to obtain vessels and “not a few.” God provided for her. God is always with us and will not leave nor forsake us. Psalm 73: 23&24, 25:43&5, I Corinthians 13:12
Our adoption letter found in Romans 8, to gather as in Hebrews 10:24&25, walk in faith as in Hebrews 11. It is most assuredly the substance and our hope.
With all the things that are taking place in this world and its brokenness, remember that God is with us, for us and will not leave nor forsake us. Wear the full armor and hold His righteous right hand. The Holy Spirit walks with us, beside us. Luke 12:25, Psalm 89:15, John 16:33.
Remember that the enemy wants us not to see ourselves as God sees us. In believing the white noise and removing our focus on Yahweh our Heavenly Father, we allow ourselves to become weakened. God sees us clothed in His radiance and in His righteousness. The enemy does not want that in us. It frightens him actually. Psalm 34:5, II Corinthians 5:21, 3:18, Galatians 5:25, Isaiah 42:6, Romans 15:13.
A personal relationship is beyond just knowing about Christ our Lord, God in Heaven or the Holy Spirit. Draw in and listen to what the Holy Spirit will teach, have faith in God and practice His presence. Accept and believe that Christ Jesus came to this plain of existence in the flesh; He died for us to be able to be joint heirs with Him in the Kingdom of Heaven. Colossians 1:27, Isaiah 42:6, Nehemiah 8:10, Romans 15:13.
All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God; truthfully, not one of us deserve the gifts of God. The Kingdom of God is not about deserving at all, but rather about His love and grace. Simply thank our Heavenly Father, accept and He delights in our happiness and reception. When we are told that He will open the windows of heaven and pour out his blessings on those that love the Lord; nothing is said about earning or deserving. Simply that those that love God. Psalm 23:5, John 3:16, Luke 11:9&10, Romans 8:32.
Count it a privilege that God chooses you to be about His business; not that he needs you, but CHOOSES you. Be guarded against the ramblings of that white noise the enemy puts into our minds; in that we would believe we are better than others and that our position is more important. Do not allow that arrogance to overflow into your actions toward others and remember that we have been given power and authority by Christ to quench that spirit of untruth. Luke 10:19, I Peter 2:9, Ephesians 1:18-20, Psalm 105:4, Deuteronomy 33:25. We are a peculiar people because we don’t follow the crown, dong what everyone else does or says simply BECAUSE everyone else is. We should be different in our speech, our actions and our worship should be set apart….we ARE chosen and we ARE different.
I Peter 2:9; we are chosen of God and for His purpose we are guided by the Holy Spirit in truth, knowledge and wisdom. So all would have an opportunity to be reconciled and be heirs, joint heirs in the kingdom of heaven. Yahweh Ahman!!
Practicing God’s presence is establishing time for Him and with Him. In the here and now because in the there and then, there will inevitably come something we allow to interfere and not give the sovereign Lord God the time of day with Him. Sound harsh, well the truth is sometimes like that. Do not put off time with God, practice His presence in earnest and remember, that in making time for Him, He will take time for you. Psalm 89:15&16, I John 3:19&20, Jude 24-25, Psalm 41:12.
Never forget and draw on the memory, His promise and His truth; He is with us always. Deuteronomy 31:6, Luke 12:22-25, II Corinthians 10:5, Deuteronomy 13:1-5, Daniel 10, I Timothy 4:1, II Timothy 1:7, Romans 8:15, Luke 24:49-53, Acts 1:8.
A name can be a title, it can be the description of the character; or in the case of our sovereign Lord, they are His character. He’s not doing good things because it’s the right thing, doesn’t love us the way He does because it’s the right thing…He does them because He IS them. He IS love, He is good, He does all because He IS righteous. Proverbs 3:5&6, 4:24-27, 5:1&2, 6:16-23, 8:11.
Try the Spirit to guide in ALL things. If there is truth in it, the Spirit will allow it. Appreciate that God is with us in difficulty and it will strengthen us and our faith will grow. Philippians 4:13, Isaiah 41:10, Psalm 102:27, Acts 17:27&28.
Matthew 7:7-23, 22:36-23, 23:1-3….the greatest commandment….INSTRUCTION we are given. Follow and obey as He directs our steps. Hallelujah!! Psalm 29:2, 27:4, 52:8
Who is this guy Enoch you ask…He was a man that pleased God and walked with God into heaven; not seeing death. God translated him into heaven. Enoch was a man of faith and God tells us that we go through this plain of existence as we do; seek to please Him in ALL things. Seeking guidance from the Holy Spirit in our walk…Hebrews 11:5&6, Psalm 37:4, Psalm 29:2, 27:4, 52:8.
Do you KNOW or just heard of? Even the demons know the authority of Christ our Lord. They know He is the WORD of truth and His authority comes from the throne of Heaven. God desires a personal relationship with us as our Heavenly Father and not just from hearsay. Seek Him, seek His truth and come to the knowledge of Him. James 3:17, 2:19, Mark 1:23-27, Matthew 8:24-29.
Take pause in the day, spend time with God and seek His face and not the approval of this plain of existence. His validation is all that matters and not what others think about what you say or do. As long as it is truth and you let your yay be yay and your nay bee nay….stedfast in truth. John 8:29, Hebrews 11:5&6, Psalm 37,40, 56:10&11, James 3:17.
In His truth and only in that; we are more than just victors. Psalm 23, Philippians 4:12, 4:19, Genesis 28:15, Romans 8:38&39.
He walks with me and He talks with me. So, when you talk to earthly friends; do you go out to public places and put on a grand display of conversation, speaking so loudly that attention is drawn from all around so it is not an intimate friendly conversation, but a display. For whose sake? The Word tells us by Christ’s teachings that we should not do that very thing when talking, praying to God. His desire is to be our friend and our good good Father. Exodus 33, Hebrews 13;20&21, Psalm 29:11, James 4: 13-15, Luke 10: 18-20, Matthew 6.
Essential reading of our adoption letter; Romans 8 and particularly verses 38&29; to remind us to be mindful of the promise of God our Heavenly Father through Christ our Lord and King. II Timothy 1:7-9, 11&12, Ephesians 5:20. I do not nor will not EVER apologize for speaking His through and will not be ashamed of the Gospel given by the Holy Spirit that guides my steps and I will not veil His truth. If you are offended, then so be it as Christ had told us that there will be many offended and that they will seek to harm for His name’s sake. Yeshua Ahman, Abba Yahweh Ahman, Paracletos Ahman…
I Timothy 1-4, Isaiah 30 & 31, Psalm 116:5-7, Ephesians 5:20, Isaiah 30:15. These scriptures are all related in that we are told to turn to God in prayer, faith and trusting Him and thankfulness. Do not be the one to turn your back on the Lord who has been faithfully by your side and in His mercy and grace given so that we are cleansed of our sins. In all that He has given, we are heirs and joint heirs in the kingdom of heaven with Christ Jesus.
This life we live in on this plain of existence requires us to learn to focus. We need not to be discouraged when we may fail to do so; and very importantly, that failing at something we attempt is not making us a failure. The white noise and that is what satan wants us to have in our thoughts. Drawing us away and into being discouraged, dismayed and seeing ourselves to be something we are not. Always remember that as we are reminded in Romans 8:1 There is therefore now NO condemnation to them that love the Lord. He will not condemn us and remember to that condemnation comes from one place only; satan the accuser. He is constantly accusing, belittling, degrading, badgering and just and all around influencer of darkness. I Corinthians 6:19, John 7:38&39, Romans 8:33&34, Hebrews 4:14-16,
Will always be with us and for us: there is nothing that can come between us and the love of God; our Heavenly Father. Matthew 18, 13:20, 5:30, Isaiah 43:17-19,…v.19. God is with us, for us and loves us as no other. John 3:16 is the profound love of God and cannot be measured nor can we begin to understand it.
The term winked might be better understood by some as God giving a bye. He overlooked because of ignorance. This is an act of love by Him, in that Jesus came for our sakes and surrendered His life for ours so that the world would not be taken as it was in Noe’s day. Make no mistake; our Christ Jesus has told us that it will be as it was in the days of Noe before the return of the Son of Man. Exercise the authority that we have been given to the pulling down of strongholds. II Corinthians 10:2-5, 10:8, Isaiah 25:11&12, Acts 17…30:31, Ephesians 6:13. Never forget that we are indeed in a SPIRITUAL warfare; so it is essential to put ON the FULL armor of God.
Isaiah 41:10, Jeremiah 29:12&13, John 10:14, Isaiah 40:10. It takes practice to be able to carry the quiet of the Lord with you; to filter out the cacophony of sounds that disturb and disrupt constantly in our lives. Filter out and tune out the white noise that is constantly on and taking focus away from Hashem, The Lord thy God.
To draw us that truly desire the truth and seek the face of God our Father into the Word and seeking Him. Those that don’t truly desire will walk away and them that desire and hunger for the truth will seek it. Seek and ye shall find, knock and He will open to you; ask not and ye will have naught for it. Matthew 13:ll, 11:25, 10:13-17, John 16:13.
This is shared because it is real, it is truth and the Holy Spirit allowed my sharing. I practice prudence in my coming to this platform and as this is my Heavenly Father’s business and He gave me this platform to use in sharing His infallible truths and scriptures. The sharing of the program I watched and the Holy Spirit was leading me and teaching me along the way; pointing out the subtle misleading that Hypocriwood producers utilize. Just as the book sales and pandering the lies to our children. Be cautious and in prayer. I Peter 5:8 is a warning that we are given to be aware of those things around us; not to allow ourselves to be consumed by them, but to be aware and always in prayer. Even for those attempting to pander these lies to our children. We have the responsibility as given by our Heavenly Father to pray for them; that they may find redemption and forgiveness in realizing what is being done. Our Father desires that ALL be given the opportunity and we have that precept as the guide for our responsibility in deliverance of His truth.
As did Joshua and Caleb; you can read and heed in Joshua 14 as is the piecing out of the land that was promised of Hashem. Caleb comes at eighty five years old to get his blessing from Joshua and to go into Hebron as the Lord promised him. Numbers 6:24-27.
Romans 15, Titus 3:9, Ephesians 5;15-17, Proverbs 11:3, 28:6, 21:2&3, John 14:6&7, Colossians 3:13, Isaiah 61:10, Ephesians 1:7&8, Romans 5:5.
John 10, 10:10 specifically. The old adage is very applicable to Satan; beware the wolf in sheep’s clothing. We have been warned by Christ, John, Paul, Peter and James…many places we are told of the deceivers that come teaching falsely and the doctrines they preach is polluted.
Proverbs 23:7, Matthew 7:28&29, 22:35-40, Psalm 1:1-6, Isaiah 49:13, John 15:5, James 1:4, Psalm 32:8, Genesis 1:1, Isaiah 58:11.
His good news, the gospel of our Heavenly Father throughout the Bible is indeed good news. Thank you Lord. Keep in mind that from the writings of David and those of the Prophet of God Isaiah; David to Christ’s birth was about one thousand years and from the Prophet of God about seven hundred years. Matthew 1:21-23, John 10:10, Acts 2:28, Psalm 27:1, II Timothy 1:7, Romans 8:15, Psalm 22:11-19, Isaiah 7:14, Isaiah 9:6, Psalm 37:1-9, Philippians 4:6
Remember that God meets us wherever we go, or wherever we are. Doesn’t matter the circumstances, or the darkness; He after all is the light…Psalm 23: 1-3, Genesis 2:2&3, Luke 1:79
We must not allow that the white noise poured into us to fester and become nocuous to our relationship in talking with God. God loves us and we are reminded in Roman’s 8:38&39 that NOTHING can keep us from the love of God through Christ Jesus. Numbers 6:26, John 17:20-23, Psalm 16:11
Are those around you during the course of the day able to see God and Christ in you? If so, then your logo and trademark is displayed well and don’t forget…they will know we are Christians by our love. Psalm 21:6, Proverbs 2:4, Colossians 1:16
It is His love within us that allows us to giver love to others as on our own, we find so many excuses as to NOT loving. as need to be willing and confidently display God’s trademark of love and offer it freely to others. One of God’s greatest gifts and we are to give it away…Deuteronomy 6:5&6, 10:12&13, John 14:15, 13:34, 14:21&23.
I John 1: 5-10; Be that light that he calls us to reflect out to this darkened world. We are those that do truly walk in His light the light of the city on a hill that Christ out Lord teaches us about. Seek His truth and Seek Him in His Word. Philippians 4:7&8, 4:13, 4:19. Some specific verses, but Chapter for is a vital read for us all.
Revelation 12:10, throughout the Old Testament satan is called the accuser until I Chronicles 21:1; then called satan. Romans 8:1 no condemnation; Exodus 12:12,
Always looking to Him for guidance and His direction. Rebuke the lies of the enemy and the white noise that is used to take our focus away from God. Make Him central in life and rely on Him. The Good Shepherd leads us through the brambles and rough passages to9 the green pastures and the still waters. Psalm 23 David reminds us of Him; John 10:14 Jesus reminds us He is our Good Shepherd, Isaiah 26:7 reminds us that The Upright One leads us and Proverbs 32:25&26 reminds us to walk with confidence and faith in our Lord.
Matthew 6:14&15, 18:21-35, Genesis 4:24, Acts 5:31, Ephesians 1:7, I John 1:9, Mark 11:25&26, Colossians 3:13; Forbear and forgive as we are given this by our Lord to do so. God is not asking us to do this to others, it is a precept; a commandment.
This is what the Bible, His Word tells we are to do. Paul reminds us in his first letter to Timothy; that prayers for all are a good and acceptable thing to our Lord God. Psalm 34:4-6, 105:4, II Corinthians 1:3&4.
There are so many things going on in this plain of existence and so many that are clamoring for our attention. Remember that God does not expect us to be perfect as there is nothing perfect until He who is perfect has come. That would be the Lord Jesus Christ. His being with us is not only a promise, but too a protection as we travel this plain. Seek Him in all and remember as we are told in Romans 8:28 and we should have that engraved in our minds and our hearts. And we KNOW that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them that are called according to His purpose. Matthew 28:20, Hebrews 12:1&2, 10:24&25.
I Timothy 2:1-4….this is a good and acceptable thing that we do and told to do, as is the will of our Heavenly Father. They will know we are Christians by or love, by our love. We may say it, but so we mean it?
Seek Him in His truth. The Word of God is our guide and filled with his promised and His truth. No matter what, no matter who tells you otherwise; seek His truth, knowledge and wisdom which He will gladly share. You need but ask and it shall be given you.
Do not forget that Hashem is the God of even if. Do not fall as prey to the ramblings of the devil and become fearful. God will take your fear and hold you close, but being fearful; allowing fear to drive your actions and reactions. Psalm 46:10, Numbers 6:25&26, John 14:27.
Incline to Him as He does incline His ear to us. He listens intently, attentively, He is receptive and respectful. Numbers 6:25&26, John 14:27, Psalm 78:1&2, Isaiah 40:31, Psalm 46:10, 40:1, John 10:27.
Worship Him in all we do; Yahweh Ahman, Yeshua Ahman, Paracletos Ahman. Praise worthy is the Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Hebrews 11:6, Romans 5:5, John 4: 23&24.
The Word of God, the Bread of Life is what we are to share and it is His business that we are to be about. We are all called to the same purpose, but His anointing for the specific way in which we are to administer that is bu His anointing and will be different than others around us. Do not compare yourself to others as this is contrary to his Word. Isaiah 55:8-12, Psalm 62:5-8, Revelation 1:8, I Peter 2:8, James 1:17.
Never apologize for God, Jesus or the Gospel. IF you are righteous in the sharing and you are teaching according to His truth; there is NOTHING to apologize for Things that are written in His word is truth and never be apologetic for preaching according to His way. Do not sugar coat or honey drip the Word of God and His Gospel. Psalm 62:5-8, Revelation 1:8, Is Peter 2:9, James 1:17
So often we hear in our daily walks and may even say it our selves. Yeah, but what if this, what if that and on and on with what if… I’m so thankful that my God is that of even if. Even if this or that; He is with me/us no matter what and there is NOTHING that is able to separate us from His love. Jeremiah 31:25, Philippians 2:14&15, Psalm 40:3.
Only in this can we have a true haven; in His peace, truth and love. Jesus reminds us in the Bible, that true peace only comes from Him; truth and true love only comes from Him. We talk about peaceful resting on days off or vacation, but simply temporary because afterward, right back at it with work, schooling or simply the hustle and the bustle of life. However, even in the midst of that, we can have peace. With the Lord we can have true peace. I Peter 5:6&7, Psalm 118:24, I Thessalonians 5:18.
His instruction are very clear and too, He is very clear as to why we do as we are told. Most importantly is the fact that it is His love. He truly, deeply loves us and it is deeper than we can even fathom. The great and marvelous mystery of our Lord.
What does it mean to try the spirit? It means exactly what we are told in the Word of God. There are deceivers and those that attempt to diminish the truth and reality of the truth. Even within the church body. Which is EXACTLY why Jesus warns against the devil and those that work his iniquities. Jesus warns us, John warns us, Peter warns us and Paul warns us. Realize this; the deception is indeed around us, but in reading of the scriptures, we are warned that deception comes from those that profess to be what they are not. Which is exactly why we are to be always in prayer and SEEKING Gods truth which He will always give. Not as from man or mammon, who will bend the truth and attempt to make it fit as it should not. Do you remember the story of Cinderella and when the prince came to the house: trying on the slipper of the step sisters because they were hiding Cinderella? No matter how the slipper was forced; it was always an ill fit. That is the way of truth. In truth the word is always righteous and in a lie, no matter the sway, a lie will be revealed. Always share ion truth, always seek the truth and always be truth. Jesus reminds us that He IS the way, THE truth and the life.
Our Lord God is so much more than just Abba Yahweh. This is the mystery of Him that we are reminded of in His Word often. The mystery of God the Father, Jesus our King and His only begotten Son and the Holy Spirit. In the finite mind and the confines of our clocks and space blocks, it is beyond comprehension. Stop trying to figure Him out; walk in faith as it is the substance of things we cannot see or understand and that evidence we so loudly cry out for all the time. That it is the evidence of things beyond our eyesight. Which is why we must seek Him and listen with spiritual hearing, look with spiritual eyesight and believe in truth. All things in truth, love, knowledge and wisdom from Him who loves us so very much. John 4:16&17, 16:7, Zechariah 4:6.
Never forget that God is with us in ALL things. He promises never to leave nor forsake us. Unlike man and of the way of mammon, full of empty promises and repeatedly left forsaken; God will not and does not ever. If in a situation that man has done so, as difficult as it may be, thank God and open your hands and your heart and don’t curse, nurse or rehearse the circumstances. Reverse them by holding on to the strong righteous right hand of our Heavenly Father. Psalm 13:5, Ephesians 5:20, Psalm 34:10.
There are those in this day and age that would look to provoke in error and derisiveness within the body of the church. Try the spirit in all things and He will guide your steps and keep them true. Never forget that we are ONE body, to be ONE minded and worship the Lord thy God as one. We are all different and yet we are one. The old song when I was much younger…they will know we are Christians by our love, by our love…that love is from our Heavenly Father and from His heart to ours. I Timothy 6:15&16, Isaiah 55:8&9, Revelation 2:4, Matthew 11:28.
Call upon the name of the Lord; Hashem, The Lord thy God. Do not believe the lies of the accuser. John 8:44, I Chronicles 21:1, I John 5:19&20, Ephesians 1:17-19, Romans 10:10.
God reminds us that He is perpetually with us; always without interruption. Remember that God is not limited as we are by time and space: He is not limited by either one. Practicing His presence and His hereness. Matthew 6:34, John 10:10, James 4:13-15.
Lean in when He is speaking; keeping in mind that the Spirit of God may utilize nature, a photo or picture, a sentence or paragraph in a book, billboard or any number of things and then will turn on the light bulb in the attic(mind) so you will recognize it. Listen with spiritual hearing and look at everything with spiritual eyesight as he may be communicating with you.
Look around and see what Hashem has done, The Lord thy God has created all things and by Him are they made. Blessed is the Lord. Psalm 96:12, 8:1, Romans 1:20, John 1:3, Ecclesiastes 3:11, Job 12:7, Psalm 34: 4-6, II Peter 1: 16&17, John 17:3, Psalm 139:14.
The way, the truth and the life and light of man…this is His way. Matthew 23, John 8:44, Ephesians 3:16-18, Hebrews 4:16, John 8:44, James 4:7&8.
God’s desire to have a personal relationship with us may be solely in His company without speaking. He may use written words, a song, a billboard…various means to communicate His thoughts with us. Or, no words at all; just fellowship. The story of Job is powerful and informative. Read and heed.
Jesus is the Word and is as He was and forever will be. Be wary of the hypocrisies of man and seek truth, share only truth and seek guidance of the Holy Spirit to help lead in only truth. What we do is for the glory of God and the opportunity for others to be redeemed and have the opportunity to repent and be in heaven. Hebrews 11:1, John 1:1, Matthew 4:16, James 2, Romans 8:26, Psalm 27: 13&14,.
The economy of God is so different than that of man or mammon. The economy of nations on this plain of existence is based on lies and deception and limited resources. God’s is on total truth, strength and limitless resources. He is Yahweh; the maker of all things made. He tells us that he will open the windows of heaven and pour out blessings on them that love Him and are in His Word. He IS our good father. John 3:16-22, 1:1-5, Isaiah 50:4, 55:2-3, John 19:30, Matthew 27:50&51.
He walks with me and He talks with me; am I listening? Our Heavenly Father does indeed speak, but are we moving at the speed of self so we are unable to hear or just not listening? Keep in mind that the devil desires us to be farther away from God and the closer we try to be with Him, the harder the devil will come on to keep us from time with Him. Satan does not want us to have what he used to have and knowing that God gives it to us freely. It is because of the love of God and His wanting us to share in the Kingdom of Heaven with Him as heirs and joint heirs with Jesus Christ that we have all we do and it is why the devil works so hard to keep us from that. Hold on and keep walking. Psalm23, Matthew 7:1&2, Proverbs 29:29.
When the disciples asked Jesus to teach them how we should pray; He taught us to proclaim His holiness, declaring His sovereignty and then too, all about His will be done. We are reminded constantly about His will. When we are doing anything at all for the church or others, are we motivated by our being seen or because it is for Him and what our Heavenly Father wills to be done. Remember Jesus teaches that there will be those that declare ALL they have done for Him and by His name and what does he tell them? Depart from me, I NEVER knew thee. They were motivated to be seen and NOT for His will at all. There was an old saying when I was younger; you better check yourself before you wreck yourself. Seems very appropriate. It would be far better to go home and have our Lord say welcome home my good and faithful son or daughter…Psalm 89:15&16, 16:8, II Peter 1:2, John 10:28.
Coming to Abba Yahweh and asking, but asking in spirit and truth, not for yourself, but to serve others and again, not for self recognition, but to show outwardly that which is TRULY within. Is His light within or not? Are you a true believer or just self proclaimed? Hebrews 7:25, James 1:5-8, James 1:25, Psalm 68:19, I John 1:7-9, 4:18
Psalm 37:1-9, Philippians 4:4-8 speaks to the profound difference between expectation and being anxious. They are NOT the same and there are however those that use them so and tell others they are. This comes from Jesus teaching to be as a child. Children are sometimes hard to get to wait because of expectations and anticipation. On the other hand, there are those that it is difficult for because of anxiousness and become shaky and fearful. The dictionary gives us a profound difference in the two and they cannot nor should not be used synonymously. Expectation is the looking forward to with anticipation and expectant mental attitude and with excitement and NOTHING to do with being anxious. Anxiousness is actually being fearful, thinking along that line and anticipating the possibility of danger. Full of worry, full of distress or unease. Because of this a persons may exhibit solicitude; outwardly appearing to be stressed, uneasy and excessive attention to the unease. That is most assuredly NOT of God and satan loves for us to be that way. We must not forget that Jesus has given us authority as He tells us in Luke 10:19, II Corinthians 10:5, Hebrews 10:23, Exodus 15:2.
Psalm 139:1-14, is David’s declaration of faith in Hashem, The Lord thy God…wait quietly and patiently for the Lord and His directions. A difficult thing to do because as is demonstrated in traffic all the time; that as soon as a light changes, the honking starts…no patience. It goes against our nature to sit and wait. There are some that are able to truly wait on the Lord, but far too many are always in a rush to go hither and yon for no apparent purpose…sad really. In the rushing within our heart and mindset, we stay distracted and separated from God. Colossians 1:16, I Kings 19:12, Psalm 5:3
Remember always that the validation of truth comes only from God and not from man or mammon. There is only one truth and truth is NOT a matter of perspective; truth is truth and cannot be bent in order to be relative. The Word of God is a declaration of that and is not open to be interpreted for man by man. This is a pharacitical practice that was attempted to be shackled to our Lord Jesus in an attempt to bend the truth. Couldn’t be done as He is the truth. It failed to work, so they decided to eliminate Him, but that just completed the declaration of truth that came from God. For my sake and any that choose to believe. John 3:16, Psalm 36:9, Proverbs 20:24, II Corinthians 4:17&18.
We get so caught up in things of this world and ramming here and there; doing this or that, sadly actually missing out on what truly matters. Practice His presence and spending time with God. He very much enjoys it. James 4:13-…, Ephesians 2:6, Romans 8:6, I John 2:15
Keep in mind what I’ve shared with you from His Word in truth. Endued; endow with some gift, quality or faculty: to put on; assume: to clothe. As our Heavenly Father has done with His Robe of Righteousness so that we are clothed as we should be; we are to be with the Holy Spirit and is given us freely by our Heavenly Father. Luke 24: 49-51, John 1: 1-17, Acts 2:1-21
Ezekiel 34, 27, John 10, Matthew 23 &24. Jesus speaks to the Deceit of man and that we are to be cautious to them that practice iniquity and lies. Not in leading of the flock, but in honey dipping the Gospel and sugar coating rather than speaking truth. Boldness is lack because of fearfulness. Pray together for the repentance of this nation and its leaders to become once again one nation under God.
God’s great love and His desire to have a personal relationship with each of us, and yet we find every excuse possible to NOT spend time with Him. I don’t have time, I need my time before work, what about my coffee and shower time, I’d have to get up and hour earlier….so on and so on it goes. Yet, He came and died for me, us because that’s the kind of God He is. Stepping into the dark room we’ve created. Walked with Enoch, Moses, David and others. He walked and talked with them. Because that’s the kind of God He is. John 15:13, II Corinthians 5:21, Zephaniah 3:17, Numbers 6:25&26, Matthew 16:9, Luke 12:1. The hypocrisy that is oft times declared to appear to be what we are indeed not. Jesus warning in His reminding us about the leaven.
The Paracletos has brought this forward in my mind to share with y’all. Matthew 15:4-9, Ezekiel 22:28, 13:15. These are pertaining to the untried plaster and the whitewashing that was taking place and still takes place. Some might call it sugar coating or honey dipping in trying to somehow bend facts and truth. That is false teaching and nowhere in the word of God does it tell us that is okay. Read Ezekiel 34 and know that the prophet Ezekiel is speaking to the nation and actually is nothing to do with the flocks of the fields. Remember that WE are the sheep and the Lord is our shepherd. Ezekiel is speaking to the false doctrines and that declaring to come from God, yet do not. John tells to try the Spirit of ALL things.
All we have and are is because God has given us a free will. So, do you choose to gripe and complain of all that God provides or choose to thank Him for His powerful love that is so beyond anything we can comprehend? Matthew 7:1, John 17:3, Romans 9:20&21, I Timothy 6:15
He will be exhausted in all the earth, in every nation and every tongue. Do not give way to the addiction of activity and LEARN to make time for God, as He will take time for you and does so every single day. Psalm 4:4, 5:3, 15:1&2, 25:3, 27:14, 37:7, 40:1, 46:10, 56:10&11, 27:1&2, John 14:27, Isaiah 30:15, II Corinthians 10:4
Our teacher and taking into true discipleship is the Lord; our KING of KINGS. Learning to see with the eyes of His heart and seeing the Majesty of the Lord God Almighty. Lean in and listen with spiritual hearing and look with spiritual eyesight those things that TRULY matter and not just what we THINK matters. Keep in mind that all here is temporal and all with Him is eternal and as a child of the King we have that given. Philippians 4, Psalm 102:27, I Peter 1:8; though you don’t see Him now, you will and be filled with His love and see through the lens of His love from His heart unto ours.
The anointing of Jesus as done by Mary, Martha’s sister. John 12:1-10, Mark 14:1-9 wherein Jesus reminded them that He would not be with them and this anointing was done for His burial. This seemed to go beyond their understanding, being more concerned about the expense. We even now are so concerned about the expense and grumble about tithing in giving back to God. Mary gave to Jesus in that He gave Himself, He gave her life and hope, He raised her brother from the dead. This information is gleaned from scriptures and can be found when studying and practicing to be approved. Jesus also declared that wherever the Gospel is shared; this testimony to Mary will be a memorial to her and it is here shared well beyond two thousand years after the fact. Matthew 26.
John 14:6 In God’s Word John shares an answer from Jesus to Thomas, When Jesus was sharing that he was going to leave and prepare our home. Thomas, yet expressed his uncertainty…Jesus spoke truth into him and the others. “I am the way, the truth and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.””If ye had known me, ye SHOULD have known the Father also: and from henceforth ye know Him, and have seen Him. This is a vitally important teso verses. He is speaking truth as in their following Him they indeed should have, by everything Jesus spoke, recognized and known our Heavenly Father. Henceforth; meaning that from now on you WILL know. Even now there are those that say how are we supposed to know? Read the Word of God and seek His face and look for a personal relationship with God the Father, Jesus our Lord and the Holy Spirit our guide. Abba Yahweh, Yeshua and Paracletos. Psalm 42:5, II Corinthians 13:4, Jeremiah 31:25.
The scriptures remind us that authority is given of our Lord Jesus and He has given authority to us as His disciples. Declare it, seize it and know it is ours as TRUE believers and TRUE Christians. Knowing that he is with us always and that we have been clothed in the Robe of Righteousness. So, let us act as if we are the heirs and joint heirs of Christ as we are promised and that we are a ROYAL priesthood as told in I Peter 2:9 and our robes as told in Isaiah 61:10.
Hold your heads up and do not veil your countenance which should shine out that which is within; that being the love of our Lord and Heavenly Father. CenterHim in our lives and Jesus centered, Holy Spirit guiding. John 15:5, Ephesians 6:10, Genesis 1:26&27.
Remember that abiding does NOT mean just “hanging out.” Abiding is an interpersonal relationship and exchange with God, His Holy Spirit. Make the time for Him…He did so for you when He saw you from afar and came to hang on the cross. John 15:11, Isaiah 61;3, II Corinthians 6:10.
Seeking His righteousness and His presence is powerful. In studying today the Holy Spirit gave this to me…originally the quote came from a man named John F. Kennedy; “ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country.” So, I pose; ask not what God can do for you, but what can you do for God. He calls us to be about His business and share His truth. Giving others the opportunity to be redeemed. God wants to count on you and not just count you. Be bold, courageous and upright in His truth. Psalm 32:7, 25:1-3, 27:8, 40, 34:22, 42:11, 43:5, 46:10, 63:1, Isaiah 41:10, 40:31.
Remember to seek HIS truth and knowledge, so that you will KNOW Him and not just about Him. Seek His face in the Word and do not be deceived by this that may or may not know about Him. The claim of knowing about Him is many times not accurate anyway. Always seek the truth and as David tells us in his poem, You say to seek and I tell my heart Your face I shall seek…Psalm 32:7, Romans 1:6, Genesis 3:8&9, John 8:12.
Remember always that though we are weak, in Him we are strong. In confession of our weakness we draw strength and all things are possible through Christ who strengthens me. We are children of the sovereign Lord and heirs and joint heirs with Jesus Christ in the Kingdom of Heaven and we need act like it more that we do. Walk boldly and upright in righteous boldness. II Corinthians 12:9&10, Acts 17:28, Colossians 2:6&7, John 14:20.
God loves to spend time with us and when we show Him that we love it too; make time to share with Him. Time seems to be a resource that we actually have plenty of and yet complain about it. We won’t share with loved ones, but in a limited capacity and we always have a reason for not sharing time….sacrifice time for God and talk with Him.
Sacrifice time to God and He WILL honor that. So many claim to just not have time. Why? Because YOU decide that time is so much more important to yourself. Remember that Jesus came to serve and not be served, His time was ALWAYS bent toward others, but He made time to spend with God and be in prayer. He started the day in prayer and thankful for the day coming and ending the day in prayer. Do not get so caught up in what we THINK is so important. James 4:13-15, Proverbs 3:5&6, Isaiah 40, Luke 24:13-31.
God is with us and faith will remind us of this truth. Be willing to sacrifice of ours to the one that sacrificed for us. He left His throne, His crown and His kingdom to come and die for me; as well as you so that we would have freely given, the opportunity to be forgiven, repent and adopted into the Holy Family as heirs and joint heirs with Jesus Christ. So, don’t be so quick to say I can’t when the reality is you won’t. It’s difficult, but remember that the Lord is your strength and the Holy Spirit will guide. Seek that truth and be willing to give back to God for what He has done for us. Genesis 16:13-14, Psalm 139:7-10, Zephaniah 3:17, Luke 12:22-25, Ephesians i6:12, Proverbs 16:3.
We are taught in the righteousness of the Lord and we are clothed in His righteousness; so we move through this plain of existence in that way. It may require us to cut out individuals that are not healthy to be around and continually detract from your walking upright, boldly and working at being in a walk with God. If they are indeed a hinderance, then say goodbye. No regrets and walk forward with the Holy Spirit guiding. Ephesians 4:26&27, II Corinthians 6:17&18, Matthew 18:6&7, 5:30, 21:12-17, Proverbs 18:23&24, I Peter 3:4.
In all things lift up a hallelujah and praise Him. That is at times a difficult thing to do because we have not let go of the very things we are praying about. We tend to get in our own way and that of God. Raise a hallelujah and step aside; no matter what. Psalm 145, 4:6-8, Revelation 21:23, II Peter 3;13l, Exodus 34.
His authority is real and is truth, He is truth. We are told this in the Bible in several places: Jesus is the WAY the TRUTH, the. BREAD OF LIFE, the LIGHT. Jesus is all of those and MY KING, MY LORD. Psalm 43:4, 63:7,&8, 119:105.
Take time for God and seek Him with as Jesus tells us; with all our hearts, soul and minds. Focus on that thing that is MOST important. Exodus 3:14, I Corinthians 3:16, Psalm 25:14&15, Psalm 105:2-4, 27:4-8, Genesis 24:63, Matthew 22:37.
In and through the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, we are both cleansed and clothed in righteousness. As with a bride and groom: they can be readily identified by those that see them and in His righteousness, should it not bear the same with us as TRUE believers? Not only as we are seen by others, but in the reflection outwardly of that which is in us and that must be God’s love and righteousness. Psalm 139:1-4, Ephesians2:13, II Corinthians 5:21, Isaiah 61:10, Ephesians 4:24&25, Proverbs 3:5&6.
We must practice and exercise trust in God. Trust and faith with Him are indeed synonymous. We must learn to let go and not to cling to things that we tend to THINK we can and don’t want to let go and just get out of our Owen way and get out of His way. Rather difficult for God to do for you if you won’t move over and allow him. So often we look to access blame on God and the reality is, we have done and disrupted the process. Remember that sometimes it IS a process and that God just does not ‘fix’ it right now. All things are according to HIS will and purpose. Example being in the story Jacob and Joseph. There were years that transpired, but all good because of trust and love of God. Psalm 120-134 and each chapter is a song of degrees to the closeness of God. Psalm141, 130:4-6, I Peter 5:6&7.
As we read through the Psalms that David composed in poems and songs, we read that indeed he is a man after God’s heart. Yes I use the present tense because he is in heaven and I’ll know him and speak with him. David was in turmoils and had issues that came in thoughts and in physical forms as well. God’s Word tells us that these things will take place and we are reminded that they will happen. Peter shares that these things will TEMPER or faith for endurance. We are reminded to wait upon the Lord and His breath will carry us aloft as on wings of the eagles. No matter what may come, He is always with us and that promise is for all time. I Peter 1:7-9, 3:17&18, Psalm 121, 113, 119:105-107, James 4:7, Romans 8:1&2, Isaiah 12:2, I Peter 4:6-11
He calls us into having a PERSONAL relationship with Him. Much more than just knowing about Him, but knowing Him. Spending time with Him. Giving of that oh so precious thing that we reluctantly share with others and frequently won’t share; not even with loved ones or those that are called that, but time is so guarded and held so tightly that oft times we miss opportunities that are right with us. Give it up; for the love of God is real and He will bless for it. Psalm 23, 25:4-8, 25:12&13, 25:21&22, 27:1, 27:4-8, Romans 8:38&39, Galatians 5:22&23.
We find as we look around us that so many have come and attempt to bend truth, which is just a lie. If it’s not His truth it’s simply a lie, period. Perverting the Word of God is the manipulation of His word and attempting to get others to follow what is not truth and ignoring the precepts of God in declaration of self worth and removing God and Jesus from the center. Galatians 1:1-11, Psalm 131:2, 21:6, 37:7, Jeremiah 17:7.
Jesus teaches from the sermon on the mount, not just in the beatitudes that actually come from and through trials. The temperance that is given through these things. He teaches us that the rain comes and fall on all and doesn’t just fall on the unrighteous, but on the righteous as well. We all get wet. Read and listen to Him speak in Matthew 5. Don’t try to get around or teary to circumvent those things that will come, but walk into and through them holding onto His strong right hand of righteousness. He will guide and protect. Job 5:7, Revelation 19:1, Psalm 91:1.
The breath of God is in us each and every day when we rise. Dit is His breath in our lungs that gives us the opportunity to move about in the course of the day HE has created and knows, not us. It is His day and He guides us through His spirit. Psalm 14, Matthew 8:23-27, Romans 8:28&38, Psalm 11.
Ezekiel 37:1-10 is the visitation of Ezekiel by the Spirit to the valley of dry bones. These bones were that of the nation of Israel that had turned its back on Hashem and worshipped false idols, sacrificed to those false idols even to the blood of their own children. Seek His truth and seek His face and the Spirit so to quicken you for Him.
Spending time with God and in His truth is a delight and He desires this for us. It pleases Him and blesses Him as it blesses us. Don’t try to figure it out and just move forward in faith. God is not as so many describe Him to be; sitting on a great throne and sternly looking out over all creation. God smiles, delights in us, wants to spend time with sus on a personal level. If it were not so and His truth I would not share it. He loves us, He is our good, good Heavenly Father. Isaiah 40:31, Psalm 27:4, Philippians 4:4-13, 19&20.
Psalm 143:8, 145:3, 145:8&9; Glory in His holy name and relish HIs Love that He pours out onto us and into our lives. It is very difficult for many to comprehend this, but if you let go of the thought with our mindset and seek with spiritual sight and look to the truth; you will learn and KNOW that we cannot truly love without His love in us. Stay in prayer and look up to see that our king is always with us and always looking ove us. He is our strong tower and protector of us all. Psalm 105:3, 55:17, 32:6, 62:8. The Word of God I speak to the valley of dry bones. Hear His word and Listen to His truth. Pray the quickening of the Spirit to bring life to the dry bones. Rise up and be that which He has called you to be, the vocation you are meant to be in. Hear His word……Yahweh Ahman!
The fundamental rules of journalism that are pretty much thrown out in these days of turmoil and sensationalism. Those questions are applicable also to my Lord God and the answers are in the Bible. The infallible truths that speak to Hashem; the Lord thy God. He is the Great I Am, He is our Heavenly Father, He is all around us, in us Withersoever, Always, through His grace and power and because of AGAPE.
Acts 2:38-40, Isaiah 42:3, 54:10, Romans 8:26. God doesn’t shop and compare your fruits to others; He desires your fruits period. He knows that we are weak, wounded and bruised and calls us anyway, so why be caught up with comparisons to others and doing so ourselves. That is the white noise of the enemy. Do not heed; hear it, recognize and rebuke it. Hear and listen to God’s word, seek His truth and seek His face. Do so in righteousness and He will not be hidden from you.
Consider always that the only time that is of any import is the now and in that; we are eagerly practicing His presence and seeking the “hereness” of God. Seek Him and He will be found, seek Him and He will make His presence known to them that ardently search His Word. Be eager and look as if it is key, which it indeed is. Make Him central and not self. Remember His truth and promises. Deuteronomy 31:6-8, Joshua 1:9, Romans 12:2, Psalm 52:8, Ephesians 5:15&16, Psalm 119:105.
Remember that in spite of or despite circumstances that take place or occur around us; we have been promised that our Lord is with us and that He has made us armor to stay in the fight. We are in a spiritual warfare and must remember that at all times. II Corinthians 12:9&10, 10:3-5, Ecclesiastes 3:1-9.
There are principalities that are moving in this nation as well as others and we are indeed in a spiritual warfare. Do not be as the slothful that sit comfortably, refusing to attend Bible studies, church or even to open His word to seek His truth. They have fallen prey to the white noise and are wandering in their own imaginings. Seek His truth and His knowledge and wisdom. He does and will share as it is a blessing from Abba Yahweh… Deuterononmy 32, Psalm 106:36-41, Ephesians 6:11&12, Isaiah 61:10, II Corinthians 5:21, Ephesians 4:22-24.
Rebuke that white noise that the devil puts out onto us by his minions and gets us to believe. Never forget that he is full of FalseEvidenceAppearingReal and loves to drive by fearfulness. By keeping you in the mental valley you lose sight of those things that matter most. Be a strong warrior and never forget that we are in a spiritual warfare and that the devil wants you fearfully driven, giving up and separated from God. He doesn’t want you to have what he gave up. Keep in mind that his residence in heaven was not merely taken; he gave it up by declaring his equality to God. God offers our being heirs to that kingdom and joint heirs with Jesus. Satan definitely doesn’t want us to have that and freely offered by Abba Yahweh. Numbers 21:5-9.
Psalm 11-15, Proverbs 3. Given by my Lord by His commandment through the Holy Spirit. His truth and only by His word.
Because of what we have been taught and on this plain of existence; there is so much that is completely contrary to the teachings of our Lord Jesus and too, contrary to the Word of God. Study His word stay in focus and mindful of your brothers and sisters, seeking His understanding; for in that place will you find true peace. Proverbs 3:5&6, Romans 5:1, 2 Thessalonians 3:16, Philippians 4.
Look up and see that man that was hanging on the tree, His arms stretched out in love for you and me. Seek that higher perspective and look through the lens of Jesus. John 3:16-22, Acts 2:38-40, Romans 5:1, Job13:15, Psalm 18:33, Habakkuk 3:17-19
Don’t be so caught up in self worth in that believing that God needs you. He does not in fact. Don’t allow the white noise interference that comes from the devil or the minions of Sheol to get you to believe that our Heavenly Father doesn’t want you. The word of God tells us the opposite is so. He loves us so much that Jesus Christ came, taught and died for us. Believe and walk in faith, for He is true to what he tells us. Job 13:35, Psalm 18:33, Habakkuk 3:17=19.
The directions that we are given by God are if we choose to be a disciple and follow the Savior Jesus, His only begotten son, there are certain things that MUST be adhered to. In His ententes and precepts are the rules we MUST follow, but know that God is not akin to the military drill instructors and barking or yelling commands; nor is He always sounding as that of many waters. He can, but He is our loving God, our Heavenly Father and His preference is that still small voice. We must maintain an auspicious fear of the sovereign Lord God. NOT fearful, but knowing full well of who and what He is. He is our Lord, our Heavenly Father and He loves us so very much. Know this as well; we are His and He is mine, ours and as such we are ambassadors for the Kingdom of Heaven. Represent well and share that which lies ahead.
So; this sis a continuation of the other episode in speaking about the TRUTH. This is a tenet of God and one that we are to be sharing at all times. There is no such thing as your truth and my truth as truth is what it is. There is simply stated; THE truth. Jesus is called, the truth, the way, the life and the light. So,the question is this; as a DISCIPLE of Christ, are you disciplined to speak ONLY truth or does it get bent so that your comfort is met? Jesus gave a parables of the wedding invitations and those that made up excuses so as not to go and those that went and took time to prepare and the one that decided preparation wasn’t necessary. Think about His truth before you decide that it isn’t necessary and it’s okay to bend it and make it your truth,.
There are numerous places in God’s word where we are reminded to be mindful of our tongues. It will lash and hurt, words can cut deeply and wounds can take long to heal. We must remain in prayer continually and the short burst prayers, “bullet prayers” are a good thing and acceptable to the Holy Spirit and guidance. Nehemiah 2:4&5 we see that the prophet practiced this even in the presence of the king. Proverbs 12:18 tells us how the tongue is like a sword and can be like unto the sword of truth or of hurt and pain. James 1:19 reminds us to be thoughtful BEFORE we start speaking. Paul reminds us in his letter to the Ephesians in 4:19 to be uplifting and helpful and although he doesn’t directly remind us of those that may not be directly in the conversation, but be mindful and careful to the speech. Let it be uplifting and to their needs as well as those that may be listening. Don’t forget that hearing and listening are very different.
Lifting up His name and glorifying His truth. Sacrificing that commodity that is so precious even God recognizes when we sacrifice it to Him. Yet it is rarely done and more oft than not we find excuses NOT to share it with our loved ones, friends and even unto God our Lord we make excuses for why it can’t be done. The reality is that it won’t be done and there in is the profound difference. It can be, but we won’t…what is that commodity that even God recognizes its value when we sacrifice to Him? Time…time is that commodity. Psalm 21:6, John 7:37&38, Psalm 103:11, 34:2, Romans 8:38. We read in the scriptures numerous instances of God’s sacrifice to us of His time because of His love for us. After all, He stretched out His arms and died for us.
Joshua 1:5-9, Matthew 22:37-40, John 1:1, 3:16-21, Isaiah 49:15&16, Romans 8:28&39…These are but a few of the scriptures that remind us of God’s love and the love of Christ that is given freely of our Heavenly Father and yurt there are those that have the audacity to claim a website to have truth over that truth that comes from TRUTH. John 1:1 tells us exactly where it comes from and yet individuals will declare that some website has more authority than the Son of God….we most assuredly must be in continuous prayer for this neighborhood, this city, this nation….the world. We do so because it is His love we must reflect and while Jesus was hanging to die; he prayed that our Heavenly Father would forgive those very ones that did to Him…”for they know not what they do.” His love is most assuredly supreme.
Prayer without ceasing IS feasible and can be accomplished. Many things we do in life require practice and so too does our walking with God. Practicing His presence while out and about, making time to spend alone time with Him, praying while out and about doing chores or at our jobs. Keep in mind that in order to become proficient at anything, practice is required. Remember that we are told in our prayers that if we don’t know what to pray, the Spirit will give utterance and we need to keep that in mind and give in to the Spirit so that our prayers are carried to heaven; away from the enemy and his minions. His desire is to keep us distracted from our practice and keep us away from God. I Thessalonians 5:17, Philippians 4:6&7, Colossians 1:27, Matthew 28:20, John 20:19.
We go into the world knowing that we will be hated of men because so many live in lies, fear, and are covered in the darkness. We go and must be an example of His truth and reflect that without judging and practicing as the Pharisees did and looking down on, belittling rather than lifting with truth and love. His love is in me and let that be the truth I share as an example. Matthew ll:25-30, John 17, Hebrews 6:19, I John 2:28, Matthew 22:37.
A catch phrase being a slogan that is meant to draw attention or does draw attention; it is repeatedly used and so much so that it becomes devoid of. Any substance or truth; it just is. Decades ago a catch phrase that started in the “Jesus Movement” and was so widely spread and used; what would Jesus do? It became a trinket and charm initialing WWJD and then shops and stores were dumping them because interest was lost. No more a marketable commodity so no value. We have forgotten that it is still an integral part of the daily walk as a TRUE Christian and not self proclaimed; in any instance we are in, ask ourself, what would Jesus do or more importantly, what would Jesus want ME to do. The song that the female group The Bangles sang called Walk Like an Egyptian. Intended to poke fun at and draw attention to dance. Do you walk like a Christian? How does a Christian walk? Exactly the point. We are indeed watched all the time and if you merely talk the talk and do dot walk the walk, then are you a catch phrase or His truth? I Peter 2:9-15, Proverbs 3:5&6, 2:1-11, 16:16-22, James 1:2-6.
In His word and in His truth; we must speak and demonstrate that the Holy Sprit is indeed in dwelling and not just hearsay of what WE declare and not in righteousness. Be what you claim to be. There are those that profess to be and show otherwise. James 3, II Peter 3:5-14, Hebrews 13:15&16, I Timothy 4:1-6, John 16:1-3, Matthew 13:31-37.
There are many that think the Holy Spirit didn’t come until Jesus left this plain of existence; in reality He has been from the beginning. Genesis 1:1 speaks to the Spirit of God moving on the face of the deep. When that took place, the earth was still without form and void. God had not separated the night and day, He had not spoken into existence anything else and His spirit is here. Psalm 32:8, Psalm 119:35, Psalm 143:8, Proverbs 3:5&6.
Many years ago the word effervescence was one used in the English language and the supposedly smarter than everyone else has decided to make it obsolete. It is very applicable and fights well. If you will indeed practice the presence of God, the effervescence of the Holy Spirit; the bubbling up of the Holy Spirit within you cannot be helped and should not be quenched by anyone that has not the authority. God gives it and it is His authority alone. Remember that staying in the World of God will show yourself approved unto yourself and to the only authority that you need be concerned about. If you are practicing according to His righteousness, then there is no concern. His validation is all that matters. Practice His presence, seek His ‘hereness’. It’s a wonderful placee to be and you will indeed feel the Holy Spirit bubbling within. John 10:27, Romans 8:28, Jeremiah 29:13.
The scriptures are often times shared in song and not just in sermons from the pulpits of churches. This I find to be so in the LISTENING of many of the young contemporary artists; I get a visual of the writers sitting around a table or in a comfortable setting with bibles open and as the Holy Spirit shares the truth with them, it becomes the lyrics that are shared with so many. This is an important part of the Gospel that is to be shared to all nations and to them that have an ear and LISTEN to what is being given to them. Do not forget that hearing and listening are very much different. Hearing is a daily exercise that many go through during the days and nights and LISTENING is the physiological absorbing of the sounds into us. As I’ve found through the various walks I’ve taking in life; often times the deaf listen much better than those capable of hearing do. Be still and KNOW that He is Hashem, the LORD thy God. Psalm 46:10 is reminding us that He is with us in all things. If we find ourselves in turmoil, do not exercise fearfulness and react as the devil wants with panic and agitation, but know that God is with us and He promised to be with us in ALL things. Joshua 1:9, Isaiah 41:10, Isaiah 40:31, Psalm 100:4, Psalm 31:14, I Thessalonians 5:18.
There are many that claim to be in service to the church(building) and not to the body of the Church; expending time and energy in such erratic fashion, going home and yelling at the kids, husbands or wives and not at all acting as if they are in service to God. Remember this that God would not purposely have you working at something that he knows would create this sort of result. Yet, there are so many that claim it must be done. Hmmm. Seek HIS face and the valuation from God and HIS validation is all that matters. Jesus tells us that if you look for the ‘attaboys’ from man or those around us, we have our reward. I want that crown that is promised and only to bow my knees and give it to the Lord Jesus my true King that came and gave for me His life so i may live. Abundantly, fruitfully and be about our Father’s business. Ephesians 8:5-10, Matthew 23:8, Matthew 6:1.
Perspective is a key element in a daily walk with God and in the Holy Spirit guiding. Proverbs 3:5&6, Psalm 91:1, Psalm 23, Isaiah 30:15…
Sharing sometimes the lyrics of the young contemporary artists is an essential exercise for me because so many of the songs are so directly tied, if not taken directly to the scriptures that God gives us in His Word of the truth and knowledge along with the wisdom that he wants to impart to us. We need but ask. We are told in the scriptures that we have not because we ask not. The door isn’t open because we don’t knock. God hears us, he loves us and He knows us…very important question and pay attention here…do you KNOW God? Not just know about Him or have heard about Him…do you KNOW Him. Practicing His presence and the ‘hereness’ of God is essential for a good healthy walk. Psalm 91:1, Proverbs 3:5&6, Isaiah 30:15.
God promises to be with us and safeguard us. Be not afraid nor dismay ed…the deceptive tendencies of man and the choices that have been made are for the relative ease for thee continuance of life as THEY see fit, but don’t forget the parable of the gates that our Lord and King shared with us. The truth of life is that it is not promised to be smooth all the time and as it was on the see of Galilee, a tempest will come up without warning; as it did when Jesus was in tthe stern of their boat and also when He came to them walking on the water. Both times demonstrated that He is with us and for us no matter what and that by HIS command…PEACE BE STILL and it is so. Psalm 16:11, Psalm 37:23&24, Isaiah 40:31, Joshua 1:9, Isaiah 41:10
Testimony is important and the most important aspect of testimony is that it is firstly truth and secondly from first hand knowledge. What you will know about God and not what you’ve heard about God. Knowing about something and knowing it are two very different things and applies in so many ways in our lives. None is more evident in testimony of God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. Do you share what you know or only what you’ve heard. How can one righteously testify as to the Wholeness of God if unknown? Study to show thyself approved is not written by Paul specifically for us toward God and His approval, although that is key and important that we let God know His Word is vital; it is to be knowledgeable and knowing what is said and NOT just hearing about it. Seek His face, His will and His guidance. You need but ask. Genesis 1:1, Acts 2:2-8, Acts 2:38-40. Do not forget that Mary and Joseph were told that the name of their son would be specific; Jesus(savior), Immanuel(God in us; God with us)Christ(anointed of God). He is indeed with us and does not leave us, we simply need speak His name. The greatest distance God ever is from us; and because WE put Him there is the distance from our knees to the ground. That being a prayer posture, but even closer still, turn your face to either side and speak His name….He is always here. This I know and my faith tells me so.
The assurances found in the Word of God through the infallible truths and based on the empirical evidence that cannot be denied. I have witnessed too many times…the Holy Spirit does lead and guide. We are assured, that in accepting Jesus as Lord and Savior; we are adopted into the family and are become heirs and joint heirs in the Kingdom of Heaven. That is a hope that my faith tells me is mine; so that NONE of the negativity or derisiveness on this plain of existence will draw me into the darkness that enfolds so many. Blessed assurance glory is indeed mine and if you are a true believer; have faith, pray and praise God in all things…He is with us and for us. Not leaving or forsaking…with us always.
John 8:36 shared with us in the declaration from Jesus; if the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. We are given freedom and the only binding is from the devil in reminding of how we WERE or what we DID in trying to keep us bound to the past. Do not forget that in our adoption letter; Romans 8:1….there is therefore NO condemnation….God honors those who love and honor him in truth and the spirit that lives within… Genesis 47 is an example of that very thing with Joseph. Joseph was fore sake not by his brothers, condemned and they lied to their father because of the jealousy in their hearts they allowed to turn to hatred. Joseph ended up in Egypt and was honored by God and in turn honored by Pharaoh because of his truth and integrity. Second only to the Pharaoh. Joseph was able to turn his brothers hatred and in forgiving again honored God and his earthly father as well. All from being in God, with God and His word not our own. Speak truth and the truth will indeed set you free…
Luke 10:38-42 we read of Martha and Mary as a guest in their house. Mary was interested in the Word of God and being in His presence whereas Martha decided that the busyness was more important and went about the getting food and things ready, but then noticed he being alone in that venture and actually put a demand on Jesus to have Mary come help her. Jesus gave a very gentle rebuke and did not, but reread and see that in my perception; Jesus actually gave Martha an opportunity to change her mind and come to the realization that busyness is not key. As we walk this plain of existence, we have to make the choice…what is more important? Time practicing His presence, being in His ‘hereness’ and just spending time with God or giving in to the misconception that we don’t have time to spend with the Maker of All Things Made. Do not give heed to the white noise and believe the lie. Remember this; once the withdrawal has been made, it cannot be redeposited or made up later. Take the time, MAKE the time now.
The power of His presence will bless; directly from Him, the breath of His Holy Spirit or in sharing of His truth. Always be about His truth and seek no credit for what may be done. All is to glorify the Maker of All Things Made, The Ancient of Days, my Lord my God. Sound no fanfare in doing God’s will; for in that day, the great and mighty trumpet blast will announce the coming of the King of Kings and the return as promised. The Lion of Judah and not as the sacrificial lamb.
The term prophet is greatly misunderstood my many and though it MAY be able to see futures events, but that depends on the will of God and is incumbent on His design and His only. There were some that were able to see future events: Daniel, Elijah, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Jonah, Moses, Joseph and there are more in the list. Prophets are those that lean in and listen to God when He speaks and directs, then obey. When doing so, it is for the glory of God and not for self aggrandizement. His glory, His truth and for his purpose. We find that Jesus speaks of His being a prophet, and He is indeed; remember too that though Bering the only begotten son of God, He didn’t go into cities and form up parades in order to prophesy. Luke 4:24 is very clear and specific. Remember that the people of His town where he grew up were going to cast Him from the hill and more than likely throw stones in order to kill Jesus. He scaled there vision and walked away as His hour was not yet. Then we see His authority revealed in Capernum where the demons knew his authority and declared it aloud. Jesus made no pompous display, but merely went to the temple and His authority revealed. Remember this and it is very important. Satan and his demons KNOW scripture, they will try to disuade you by their misdirection and lies. Be wary and stay in prayer and whenever possible: pray in the spirit because that is the language of heaven and they cannot understand, you don’t either because we have not been glorified, but the Holy Spirit will give utterance and guide as in prophetic words.
What God offers is indeed freely given and yes He does speak to those that will lean in and listen to Him. There are numerous places in the Bible that shares that information with us. Listen to the truth and then go to His Word and study to show thyself approved. Not just to God, but to etch in your mind and heart His truth, knowledge and wisdom that He also gives freely. All God gives and does is by His grace and is all free. Simply put, do you CHOOSE the grace of God or CHOOSE the contemptuous lifestyle the enemy tries to get you to believe is better. Remember that what God offers is eternal and what the enemy offers is ultimately temporal. Believing that what you gather while here is the important things….just temporal and will rust and decay.
The Bible reminds us that hearing God speak; and he does, requires our listening to Him and not all the noise and distractions around us. Also requires our focus on the things that we should be focused on and not all the white noise and those things that we are programmed to pay attention to. For many the days start out terribly because we focus on appearances in the mirror and what we have or don’t have to wear, what we think we should have or shouldn’t have to wear. This judgementalism begins for us in childhood. Not having the right clothes, the right hair styles or the name brand STUFF others have. Looking around and witnessing the attitudes so many have and sadly even within the church body. So many leave me to ponder as to why they are even in God’s house. Looking as though they are not wanting to be there, no eye contact and barely looking up from the ground. Look up and see that God is for us, Jesus hung on the cross on Golgotha for our sakes and the perspective we should have is that of the lens of Christ our Lord and King. Remember this; a believer of the truth and the Word of God IS a child of the maker of all things made, the King of Heaven and earth, joint heirs with Jesus Christ in the Kingdom of Heaven. Listen to His truth and not the lies of the enemy or of man and mammon. God’s valuation is all that matters.
I shared with you the lyrics of two songs that came during my “hereness” with God and being overcome; I had to share. This is part of what I share with you in the LISTENING and not just in the hearing. These two are very poignant in their messages and the truth that is shared. Look for the albums or just the songs and put it on whatever device you may listen to. Powerful…You are my King by the Newsboys and Friend of Sinners by We Are Messengers. Now I only shred in part the lyrics which are so powerful and the truth about God and Jesus Christ my King….so, go get the albums or the songs, however you do it, but listen to. His truth. Again a refresher that I don’t ask for nor do I accept any sponsorship. I share the names because of the truth told and it happens to be in song.
It is important to know and understand that there are many that have misgivings of prophecy because they don’t understand. A prophet is one listening and hearing God speak and following His Holy Spirit. Some can see future events as God gives that ability, but importantly that listening and sharing what God is saying specifically is prophecy. Matthew 13:9-16, Numbers 11:21-29, Acts 2:16-18, I Corinthians 14:31, Jeremiah 23:26, 30, Ezekiel 22:28; prophecy is not manipulative and coming to someone declaring that you have a word from God is firstly announcing that you are claiming to be something that you should not be and attempting to vaunt yourself above others. The scriptures speak to those that practice that very thing as I shared from Jeremiah and Ezekiel. Do not seek to glorify yourself by using the words given of God. We are told in I Peter 5:6&7 to be humble and we will be exalted in due time.
We will find what many declare to be the most powerful book and chapter in the Bible. Romans 8 is the adoption promised of God and the most profound verse of that chapter is Romans 8:28. All may not be good in our perspective, but the important thing to remember is that God’s ways are higher, His thoughts and His perspective is so far above what we can imagine in our finite minds. We seem to always try to figure things out that come from His infinite thoughts with our finite minds. It doesn’t work and yet because we can’t, there must be something wrong with God’s plan. Isaiah 64:4, Deuteronomy 7:9, Psalm 145:20, I Corinthians 2:9, I Corinthians 8:3, John 14:21.
The Holy Spirit is often described as a wind in the Bible; coming from the throne of God and His Spirit, it is a wind of change. Cleansing us, leading us to that place of spiritual integrity as it was when Mary was first told of her going to give birth to the only begotten Son of God. Luke 1:34&35,Galatians 5:22&23, Ephesians 6:10-13, 18, I Corinthians 14:1-5, I Corinthians 14:39, Romans 8:26-27. 34, Jude 1:20&21.
Ezekiel 37:1-19; As Ezekiel was taken by the Spirit of God and set in the valley of dry bones: are many of us and churches not indeed the dry bones? Not acting according to their tenets of the Lord God or allowing that the Holy Spirit guide our steps. Not acting at all according to the scripture as in Proverbs 3:5&6…leaning instead on our own understanding and just becoming dried up. The wind comes from the Throne of God as it did on the day of Pentecost, as it did with Jonah, as it did in Egypt with the bringing of and the ridding of the locusts. As it was in the beginning when the Spirit of the Lord was on the surface of the waters. The mighty wind.
Psalm 34:3-5, as David declares this thing in his poem; I declare to you as he same. Tans upright, boldly and courageous in His truth. Let us stand and be counted on and not just counted.
God’s ordination of His plans are not and cannot be placed into a certain sequence based on man’s decision. We are not of that authority and in attempting to take it as ours; running the risk of following the footsteps of the Prince of Earth. Follow instead the footsteps of the Holy Spirit which is out guide, teacher and counselor. The Holy Spirit has been from the beginning as was the Word, we just need to ask, seek and it will be opened to us. We have not because we ask not. That is not relative to those things of material and temporal existence, but the NEEDS that God will provide. We tend to confuse wants and needs. Remember God’s sovereignty, but too, He is Abba Yahweh, our good, good Father; He loves us so far beyond our comprehension.
Isaiah 6:9, Zechariah 9:9, Romans 8:15 Exodus 3:5; There are many that speculate and try to tell others what Gos meant and why He did this or that and have no real authority to do so. These are the false teachers we are told to be aware of; they do not speak truth and do not walk the walk. Only telling others of how it is they should walk, Do not become prey to the wolves we are warned about. If you are going to share and talk about Jesus, the Holy Spirit and our Heavenly Father; make sure your walk can be an example Remember that Jesus walked our walk and He knew how we lived, how many were poor sick and needing Him. As he attempted to teach the arrogant Pharisees and others of the Sanhedrin; He ate and associated with sinners not because he wanted to APPEAR to be inclusive, tolerant and accepting; he was eating with them and spending time with them to call them to a CHANGED and FRUITFUL life. Jesus calls us to be transformed by the grace of God and the guidance of the Holy Spirit.into a changed life; not affirming an identity change, but a life change; Luke 5:32.
Through our Lord having come and given himself for a sacrifice to cover our sins, we are reconciled to God, forgiven and made whole. Walk like you’re forgiven, act like an ambassador of the Kingdom of Heaven for which you, if a true believer and Christian are an heir and joint heir in His Kingdom. Romans 8, John 3:16-21, Romans 5:1, 8:1, John 8:36, Luke 10:19, II Corinthians 5:17-21, 3:17.
Ekphobos comes from the Greek and translates literally to being scared witless. Remember that fear is a pseudonym for satan and being driven by him rather than having the sound mind as is spoken of in II Timothy 1:7-9. God is sovereign and is our string tower and how is it that we become so afraid when the creator of all things made is with us, for us and by us. For Hashem the Lord thy God will pour his spirit out to those that love Him and call on His name. Just one of the many infallible truths found in the Word of God. Continue to walk by faith and not by what we see happening around us that stirs fear in us. Rebuke that noise sent to disrupt our lives.
Just a couple things to share that have blessed me greatly…Remember too that hearing and listening are NOT synonymous, although there will be those that decide they are…when one listens, the words or sounds are able to be discerned from background noise and hearing is recognizing that something is being said, unsure of what; music playing, but unsure the tune. Listen for the clarity and knowing. The same to be Sid about our Lord God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. Don’t just know about them; KNOW them. Lean in and listen.
Keeping God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit centered in our lives keeps the “wheel” of our lives balanced and centered. If we allow that it not be that way, we wobble and fall over, but don’t wallow in falling or failing because we ARE weak and He is our strength. Repent and move on because He is our good, good father. Keep practicing His “hereness’. Luke 6:37, II Timothy 4:8, Titus 3:5, Romans 8:1; remember these aligns from Psalm 105:39-43 a reminder of how God is always with us and for us.
We must remember to stop trying to figure out and understand that which God gives, shares or does. Without that that He shares with us; Paracletos, Holy Spirit, we cannot understand. For without Him we are only exercising futility of finite thought. His thoughts, ways and love is so beyond this realm and scope of understanding.
Winds are often used by God and in His sovereignty to control them. The Holy Spirit is described as a wind and a breeze that softly caresses. Be aware and heed the Word of the Lord and if the wind comes harshly, hold to His strong hand and walk with Him in faith. Genesis 41:6, Exodus 10:13, 10:19, Jonah 4:8, Hosea 13:15, Job 37: 14-18, Luke 12:55, Numbers 11:31.
Acts 2:38-40, Acts 2:2, in that Pentecost has absolutely nothing to do with a denomination, it IS the act of the breathing of Hashem the Lord thy God…John 3:5-12, Genesis 1:2 just some of the biblical references of wind and the breath of God.
To sit with God, abide with Him taste of His goodness. Pray the Holy Spirit to guide. Proverbs 3:5&6, John 8:32, Philippians 2:13, John 14:6. Stay attached and pray often, pray continually.
We are told in the Word of God, that accepting Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, believing He is the only begotten son of God; we are heirs and joint heirs with Jesus in the Kingdom of Heaven. He said it, I believe it……period.
The word of God is the only truth and not the stylings or twists of the theological wizards or the commentators that loves to declare of what they heard and that means they know more than anyone else. So sorry, but not so. God’s truth is what I KNOW and not what I’ve heard. Read, seek and He will be manifest to them that seek Him. His truth, His knowledge and his wisdom. Isaiah 9:6&7 listen to the spirit of truth, Revelation 11:15, 19:15&16, 20:1-3, 20:4, I Corinthians 6:2, Micah 4:4, Isaiah 19:23-25, Isaiah 2:4, Psalm 72:7, Isaiah 35, Isaiah 4:3, Micah 4:1. Seek his truth and only his truth and those that share in that will not be ashamed.
The expression is lending to a personal knowledge of our Lord God, Hashem the Lord thy God and not just hearsay. There is a profound difference between knowing ABOUT someone or something and KNOWING. Many attempt to speak with feigned knowledge and do not speak truth because they don’t have it or know it. So, in order to appear ro have, they deceive. Come and know God as He IS indeed good and so loving. My faith tells me so and my personal relationship with God shows me so every single day. He so desires a personal relationship with you and you with Him. That is truth and so doable. Simply say I do, I will and let’s go. I do believe that Jesus is the only begotten son and He came and died for me, I will have faith in you Abba and the Holy Spirit will lead me in the ways of righteousness. Psalm 38:4, Isaiah 56:8&9, Psalm 100:5
Paul shares with us in I Corinthians 13 of the truth coming from love. The love he speaks of is not that of the love specifically shared as intended between a man and woman or the brotherly love, but most importantly the AGAPE; unconditional love of God as demonstrated through Jesus. As TRUE believers and always in the truth then we are of Christ, from Christ and as the old adage; “imitation is the sincerest form of flattery” we don’t imitate Christ, but rather emulate all of Him. Imitation lends to being similar, emulation lends to be so like that others will look and see and then think that he or she is as Christ. How powerful that is. Sharing His love and pointing the way to God’s heart which is AGAPE love. For God so loved the WORLD he gave us His ONLY BEGOTTEN SON. Attain that turning point and come in.
Reading over the scriptures that are the walk Jesus had when He was here; it is a verbal display of the very thing we are reminded to walk in faith and not by sight. When Jesus had a group of disciples with Him immediately before His departure and when He did; some left, meaning that some walked away from His teaching and were not in “the way” any longer. They were good with Him there, but now He’s gone. Never forget that He is with us as He was from the beginning, He is and He will always be. David’s reminder in Psalm 23:1-4, Paul’s letter to the church in II Corinthians 4:16-17 and David shares further in Psalm 28;7; the reason we are is because of Him.
Jesus is called the light of the world and if we are indeed true Christians, then we too must reflect that light. Remember that the word Christian means of Christ or from Christ; if that is in fact the case in our lives, then we must endeavor to present that light up on a candlestick and not under a bushel basket. What good is a light that is not used for its intended purpose. We are called to be about our Father’s business and not just for ornamentation. Jesus gives us very definitive ideals in our being the salt of the earth, sharing the light to the world and sowing seeds, but too that we are to nourish the seeds that we have planted. Be an example of His truth. Matthew 5 is Jesus’ sermon on the mount where he reminds us of the things we need to practice. Isaiah 41:10 reminds us that Gos is with us and not to be afraid; Ephesians 5:8 is in Paul’s letter to the church and reminding them that it is important to walk in light and David in his Psalm to God; 62:5&6 that in this weary, dreary land, the Lord is our salvation, our refuge, our solid rock our fortress; in Him is our hope and peace, true peace that we can find rest in Him.
I share with you confirming word of God that is over three hundred years old and in Him, time is irrelevant. God works in His time zone and not in ours. Stop trying to figure things out in our finite minds; as His ways, thoughts and love are more profound than we can even imagine.
A borrowed phrase from a book to be used in my class that I became enamored with; the “hereness” of God. I love his being here with me and He is. In the sometimes very early morning hours, before the rising of the sun, we spend time together. The Paracletos comes and guides me through the word and leads my sharing. It is His truth, His knowledge and His wisdom that I share with you. It is his business that I am about; so that anyone that desires can have the opportunity to be saved and reconciled from out of this debt…..this darkness into His glorious light. To be adopted into the family of God, to spend eternity with the Lord and our loved ones…it does require practice because we have been infused with the ideology of this plain of existence, so we need to practice looking through the lens of Christ our Lord and King.
The truths that God speaks should be near and dear to our hearts. Everything he declares is truth and contrary to what some declare as the Word of God being full of contradictions and contriteness, wherein the reality is that those are teaching that very thing. Jesus gave warning that there would be many that come to deceive and lead us astray. Listen for the voice of the good shepherd for he will safeguard you and not lie. Whereas those that declare the lies are that not a being a good shepherd. The wolves have decided to just wait for their meal to be delivered. Not having to wait and run them down; they will be led right out to the pack and given up for a meal. Hold fast to His truths; He is faithful and as in the song; He’s never too early nor is he ever late…..right on time. We need to learn to wait upon the Lord, for His timing is impecable. Always right when NEEDED, maybe mot when WE decided when He should arrive….
The act of abiding with God must be in this day and age a practiced thing we do. However, there are manny that criticize or choose not to do so and yet, they do their Yoga and meditation that is “good”. Which leads me to a pondering of how that is alright, but meditating on our true and real God is somehow not okay. Hmmm. Throughout the Bible there are examples of those that practice being in the presence of Hashem, the Lord thy God. We find in the Old Testament that Isaac was going out into the field to meditate and practice being with God. Paul was constantly practicing being and abiding with God; no matter his circumstance. Remember that a great percentage of Paul’s letters were written while he was wither in house arrest or in prison. No matter where we are, where we go; God will be and can be found. David reminds of this FACT in Psalm 139.
We are encouraged to study His word and seek His face daily; practice being in His presence continually. Though it’s not and easy thing to do and takes practice.In the turmoil and with all that goes on around us daily, indeed practice is what we need to do.. We get His peace and the tranquility that is experienced despite all that is going on is real. His peace and not the peace as is offered by the world. A true peace of mind that is beyond all understanding and cannot be fathomed by the finite minds of man. Isaac walked out into a field to meditate on God and Rebecca was brought to him by God; Paul practiced meditating on God while in prison. Remember that about eighty percent of Paul’s letters were written while he was either in house arrest or while imprisoned. Practice being in His presence whenever you can. Listen to His speaking and practice opening your SPIRITUAL hearing and utilizing your SPIRITUAL eyesight. See Him in the sunset, the sunrise, in the smiles of those that walk by us or stop for a friendly chat. Remember that he is truly with us always. Psalm 8:1-4, Psalm 19;1&2, I Corinthians 6:19, Jeremiah 29:13.
Look around the world today and see the manifestation of the truth from the Word of God. Jesus teaches us and tells us about all that IS taking place what many have chosen to call the Olivette Dissertation. I question that term because a dissertation is actually a term given for the presentation of one being tested for the doctoral degree. Jesus was not being tested for a degree and came as the truth and the Word from the beginning. He tells us of the events that are taking place. Romans 12:1&2 speaking to the renewal of our mindset and the import of this is that it is indeed a weak link and point of attack constantly.
Walking in His truth and righteousness, called according to His purpose. Reflecting that which He has imparted to us. Though our paths may not be the same as our brothers and sisters, but as a true believer and a true Christian we are going the same way and though our paths my not converge, we are going the same way and our ultimate destination is the same and our purpose is the same.To share the truth and give others the same opportunity to be save by the blood of or Lord, forgiven, redeemed and saved to share in the Kingdom of Heaven; adopted and be His child, an heir and joint heir with our Lord Jesus in the Kingdom of Heaven.
As in the poem by Tennyson of the Charge of the Light Brigade and the ensuing deaths of six hundred because of the confusion. The charge was not the order to charge. We are given a charge, but we are also told to be prepared. Sometimes that means to wait. Jesus gave us The Great Commission, but we are reminded as He tells us in Luke to wait for the Holy Spirit and reminds us again in Acts and the Paracletos will indeed guide. Luke 24:44-52, Acts 1:1-8, II Corinthians 10:1=8, II Timothy 2:1-17.
I am His and He is mine. Hashem the Lord thy God knows your name. Our names are in His palms and not forgotten. Romans 8:28-32 is a reminder in our adoption letter; Deuteronomy 7: 6-9, Joshua 1:9, Deuteronomy 10:12, Deuteronomy 31:6-8, Luke 10:19,I Peter 2:9 all reminding us of who we are to God and who He is to us. I am His and He is mine.
Satan is always getting us to second guess who and what we are; to fall into the piteous slime pit of self degradation and self pity. Always about self. We are reminded in the Word of God that that is not who we are and as what we are we do not belong their. True believers, not the label heads or self proclaimed, but true believers; we are according to our adoption letter in Romans 8:17, heirs of God our Heavenly Father and joint heirs with Jesus Christ in the kingdom. Romans 8 is our adoption letter and tells us we ARE who we are and loved by Him. Jesus teaches us this truth; because of His love for us as our good, good father.
Be cautious of pride as it is the entry to destruction and falling away. Uzziah was a good king until he allowed himself to become puffed up in his own strength and was cast away from his own people. Remember too that Nebuchadnezzar allowed his pride and self worth to rule. Psalm 119:18 David reminds us that the wonderful things come from the Lord. Psalm 130:5, he tells us again that our hope is in His word.
Throughout the Word of God we are reminded to have our minds set on Him. To have His words written in our minds and our hearts; to stay focused on Him and His ways, not our own nor those of them that declare themselves to be what they are not. Individuals that claim to be Christian, yet are not; being self proclaimed does not make it so. We find this example to be so true with the Sanhedrin and their wrangling with our Lord. Claiming that Jesus could not possibly be as He said because he had no letters of His education. Keep always in the forefront of your thoughts that God is Lord and His ways are higher as His thoughts. Never forget His love for us as our Heavenly Father. Study to show thyself approved of Him and not of man or mammon.
Phileo adelphos is from the Greek meaning brotherly love. This is where we get the name of an eastern city in Pennsylvania, Philadelphia: the city of brotherly love, as well as the name of the city that Jesus has John to write a letter to the Angel of that church. Too we read that it is the other of only two that Jesus did not rebuke or chastise for leaving the truth and as some had becoming complacent; allow the death of their church. Jesus exhorted them and commended them for holding fast to the truth and His name glorified, not self worth and voting themselves over others. Adhering to the tenets of the Lord and teaching THAT way, not their way. Philadelphia was the entry way to the plateaus of Asia Minor and beyond and travelers had to pas through their city. The church their had a powerful opportunity and Jesus knew they would be THAT church. Abba Yahweh Ahman, Yeshua Ahman, Paracletos Ahman.
As He is our Heavenly Father and he hears us all the time; think of the times that you have observed a small child speaking their first words and raising their arms up to momma or papa. The Hebrew word abba was taken from the Greek word papa. It is much more than calling out father, but inclining more of a term of endearment…God is my good, good father and he loves me so and I too love HIm. I call him Abba Yahweh as he is Father Maker of all things made….
As with the church in Sardis; complacency had become and infection that grew as a cancerous tumor and the church was dying. In His letter from Jesus that John wrote to the church there and we find that in Revelation 3. A very short letter, but so relevant to churches today. Jesus warns a them of holding onto past reputations and not being watchful to the influence of false doctrinal teachings…He warns them of the impending death of the church. Paul reminds us of the spiritual battles we are in and in II Corinthians 10:3-8 the warfare is not carnal, but we have the might of Lord God to the pulling down of strongholds.
We must remember to focus on Him, not only in our daily walk, but when we are in worship. Sacrifice time to Him for worship in private; and when in public we need to stay in focus on Him, not worrying about am I on key, do I look funny with my hands up? Important to note….He is a respecter of no man or woman about appearance, skin tone, clothing or shoes and cares nothing about cologne. The ONLY thing cares for and respects is the character of your heart. As Jesus reminded the woman at Jacob’s well was that soon the time was coming that worship to our Heavenly Father would only matter in truth and spirit and not in dress or in a certain place..
I’m talking about Abba Yahweh and His validation; not that of man or mammon. Oh, they will try to get you to bend to their whim or follow their line of thinking, but truth is what matters. There is no coloring of truth, there is only truth or a lie. God reigns on high and my Lord Jesus, His only begotten son is the Lord of Lords, King of Kings and when he comes again; it will be as the Lion of Judah and not the sacrifice. Yeshua Ahman.
We must remember that though God has given us a gift in forethought, we cannot allow ourselves to get caught up in the preplanning of tomorrows. There are two places that are told us in the scriptures that are not ours and we don’t belong there; the past nor the future. The past is where satan wants us to go and be bound up sin regret and remorse which then, like the canker will grow into resentment. Toward others and sadly at times toward God. Completely forgetting that we have a free choice. The other place that we do not, sadly though daring to tread into the future and with the gift that God gave us, we attempt to control that which is not ours. We are told din numerous scripture that tomorrow is not ours. Jesus teaches us that fretting about what tomorrow may bring doesn’t increase our days by one iota. Yet, we still attempt although feebly, to control our destiny as many like to put it. The self help gurus like to convince, contrary to biblical teaching and by the precepts and tenets of Yahweh, Hashem, that we can control our destiny. Nope. Psalm 139, Psalm 62:5, I Thesssalonians 5 we are reminded by Paul to pray continually. Psalm 46:10, Matthew 23:13, I John 3:2.
This is not a bad thing and one should never allow themselves to feel guilty or allow those around us to impose that on us. Remember what Jesus told Martha. She CHOSE to be about the tumultuous activity and Mary CHOSE to hear the word of God. Revelation 2:4, Psalm 46 speaks to the many activities all around us daily, Luke 9:10 shares in Jesus attempting to have quiet time for the disciples set aside and yet the intrusion from the many that sought Him… Jesus took time and attempted to have time for the disciples and oft times interrupted by crowds chasing them. Mark 6:31 was Jesus instructing the disciples to take quiet time as they didn’t have time even to eat..Time alone with God and abiding with Him, only Him is a good thing, Isaiah 12:2&3, Isaiah 40:31 speaks to the waiting on God and not the throngs that may be about. Proverbs 3:5&6…
As in the letter that Jesus had John write to the Angel of the church in Smyrna, and is one of only two of the churches that Jesus did not have a negative thing to say; instead, reminding them that he knows of their tribulation and the troubling times they are dealing with. He reminded them of the reputation that he has which we read in Revelation 2:8…the first and the last, which was dead and is alive. He knows of the things that come against the church because of their being hemmed in by not only the Greeks, but the Romans and the “false faced” Jews as well. Jesus is encouraging not only the church through this letter, but he is reminding us of truth and exhorting us to be of faith and strong to hold onto the truth, for in doing that thing he directs, we too will receive a crown and be with Him in heaven. Joshua 1:9.
We ARE in a spiritual battle and there are many that declare their desire NOT to do anything because they’ve read the end of the book. Really?! Then you’ve chosen to just disregard what the rest of the Word of God tells us? We have the promised Word of God and the teachings of Jesus. Philippians 4 reminds us not to be anxious for anything, but too we are told in Ephesians 6 that we are in a Spiritual battle for our very soul and that of others. Don’t you think it’s worth the fight? It’s not an actual hand to hand combat, but it is spiritual and requires our trust in God, his leading of the Paracletos. The Holy Spirit. Lean not unto you own understanding, but that of the Lord thy God…Proverbs 3:5&6.
Isaiah 60 is the prophet speaking and reminding the people that despite the darkness that covers the land and the extreme darkness that covers the people, look to the Lord, Hashem, the Lord thy God; He shall shine His glory upon you and it will be seen. His unending resources He will provide in abundance. All that we need, which may not be all we want, but He knows what is needed and He will open the windows of heaven to pour out onto those that love the Lord…His supply never runs out, He never has to wait for resupply…His love is shown over and over again. Look around with spiritual eyesight, listen with spiritual hearing.
We are reminded throughout the scriptures of the power in love; that first God showed and displayed in the Old Testament and then in the New Testament we see it again displayed and taught to us by His only begotten Son; because of that love, He came and died for me and for each one that will believe and have faith in God for His love and too seek for the Holy Spirit to guide your steps. John 10 speaks to the love of Jesus and as a verbal illustration in the Good Shepherd, John 14, John 15l; His love and that even with His having to leave, the comforter will come to guide us, instruct us and give us truth. He is indeed with us, for us; with that truth Paul shares with us that in Romans 8:31 the rhetorical question; what shall we then say to these things? If Gos is for us, who can be against us? Rhetorical because Paul already knows the answer; just as Nebedkanezer knew when he asked who the fourth in the furnace was and then he answered, He is like unto the Son of God.
Remember that although uncomfortable, being forged in fire brings refinement; the finest jewelry for His treasury, the finest vessel that is fired in the kiln to finish and heat tempers steel. Most importantly, our Good Shepherd does not leave the flock nor lead them astray. Be wary and try the spirit in all things. Jesus speaks to us of the hirlings who do not care for the flock as He does. We are reminded in II Peter 2 to be aware of the false teachers and their teachings. Pray one for another and always seek truth, speak truth and be truth. Demonstrating what God has put in us.
In I John 4:1 We are reminded to try the spirit in all things. Asking the Holy Spirit to guide as there are practitioners of deception,blame and outright falsehoods that abound in the world today and as was in the days of Jesus dealing with the Pharisees, there are those that practice that same thing. Claiming to have authority that they do not have and were never given. Seek His face, His truth and His knowledge and He will show wisdom through you. Remember that God’s peace is true and he promises that, we just need ask. II Thessalonians 3:16 is a reminder of that. Too John reminds us in his first letter that God’s perfect love drives away fear, if we seek that very thing. I John 4:18 and do not forget that God did not give us a spirit of fear. His peace, love he has for us always. I love the blessing God tells Moses to have Aaron bless the Children of Israel; The Lord bless the and keep the; The Lord make His face shine upon thee; The Lord lift up His countenance upon the and give thee peace. Amen, Ahmad.
Remember that Jesus reminds us that the devil seeks to break in as written in John 10:10&11; the thief cometh not ,but for to steal,kill and to destroy…not only physically, but with our self awareness as well. Breaking in to disrupt our focus on God and His Word, to steal whatever we let go of, to kill whatever self worth we may have through Christ and to destroy our faith. His purpose is only to keep us from God and to not attain that which our Heavenly Father desires for us and freely gives. Invest wisely. II Timothy 2:15, Matthew 20:28, Romans 7:4, Romans 12:4&5, Matthew 28:18-20, Matthew 6:19&20, Luke 6:38.
We are reminded that Hashem, the Lord thy God is our refuge, our protector and the stronghold we should run to at all times. Oft times running from instead of to Him. Isaiah 41:13, Psalm 18:30, Psalm 36:9.
From the Greek translation; the Logos, collective Word of God and Rhema, the personal speaking Word of God. In the guide book, road map and instruction manual; we find suggestive ways of God so we know about Him and the Atala to guide us to Him and His way; then is instructions and we then can Enter His presence and know Him personally. Nehemiah 2, Matthew 4.
The commandments we are given to follow as not just that, but guidance for our steps. David speaks to this in Psalm 119:27, We find that God will give us strength; II Chronicles 16:9, Paul reminds us to continually give sacrifice to God; Hebrews 13:15.
With all things that are going on around us we allow ourselves to forget who and what we are. Children of God, joint heirs with Jesus in His kingdom. Saved by His grace and not by anything we have done. Sanctified by Him and His grace given and that grace was free. Romans5: 12, John 5:15, Matthew 24, John 3:14, John 3:10-14, II Timothy 3:1-5, I Peter 5:8. Lift your eyes toward heaven and our Lord.
When Paul speaks to this act of God in Acts 17, he is speaking to God overlooking the ignorance of man. Now we have been given the knowledge of truth; no longer making things up as we go along; He calls us to repentance. The Holy Spirit will show the “turning point”, that place where we must change direction. Come to the Father and as the song declares, His loving arms are open wide. Seek that and see it in His Word. I Corinthians 14, Acts 17, I Timothy 6: 15& 16, Psalm 145.
I Corinthians 13 speaks to us and is instructing us in charity. That word translates into love. We wrap our thought process around that and see charitable organizations, but are they PRACTICING love, AGAPE love. I have witnessed it to be not so. Speaking harshly to one’s seeking assistance. Start the day with God and taking on His thought process for our day; done through the Holy Spirit, putting on the Mantle of Christ and walking His way. Colossians 3:12.
The child like faith we must possess in order to break free of self imposed safe zone boundaries. Satan loves it when we stay there. Matthew 18, Matthew 19: 13, Matthew 19:16-24 is a descriptive by Jesus of how we must be. Moving forward WITH God because He’s already there and knowing what is on or in the path. If God is indeed with us, who or what could possibly be against us? In Numbers 13: 31-33 we see exactly why the feeble spies failed their people, their God and in diminishing Hashem they saw no way forward. They nurtured unbelief, forfeited opportunity and totally jeopardized the opportunity for fulfilling God’s promise to the nation.
Jesus speaks to this in His rebuke of the Pharisees. Matthew 12 is the narrative as Jesus healed a demoniac, a blind person and a dumb person. There were those that saw and believed, but the Pharisees declared Jesus was casting out demons in the name of the Prince of Flies, Beelzebub. Also a pseudonym for the devil. Jesus began teaching of the house divided; strength in unity and as one body, one mind and only one truth, His truth. Only His truth and not a shade of such, but ONLY His truth.
In Isaiah 41:10 we are reminded to not be afraid of anything and God will uphold us by His righteous right hand, strengthening us as we go forward in truth. Zephaniah reminds us that God’s love within should be a song of Him and not of anxiousness we at times replace it with. David reminds us too; Psalm 34:19 there may be many troubles arise, but He will deliver them that are in His truth, His way and follow His tenets.
Take note that God’s presence is real and true to those of us that truly believe and have faith. As we are told in Romans that God turns those things meant to be evil to good for them that love the Lord. There’s that thing called love again. Look through Biblical history and study. We find Joseph put in a pit and sold by his brothers. His father was lied to, but yet his Heavenly Father lifted him up. Daniel, the g the three young men that were with him in Babylon. Captives, yet lifted and given authority within the kingdom. These are but a couple of names but there are still more. Habakkuk lifted and told to be steadfast in the Lord’s will, Mordecai, Ruth, Esther. Stay steadfast in His tenets and He will bless. Psalm 89:15, Proverbs 4:23.
An old song from many years ago; they will KNOW we are Christians by our love, by our love, they will KNOW we are Christians by our love. Is that truth or just hearsay? For many it is just because what ought to be, but for many of us it is what must be. John speaks of this truth often; Jesus teaches this truth and God’s Word directs as truth. Proverbs 16:9 speaks to what we’d like to be, but in His love and truth, the Paracletos WILL guide(Holy Spirit). Paul reminds us of that love through Christ our Lord: Colossians 2:2-3, reminded again to seek that treasure which is His truth, knowledge and wisdom which ultimately brings us to His love. This is found in Isaiah 33:6. Remember the Rule of Faith; from front cover to back and back again. Study His Word to show thyself approved. Approved of man, mammon? Hardly; to be approved of God; which is the only validation that matters.
John 3:16, John 17, I John 2:15-17…Our love for God MUST outweigh the desires of the things in and of this world. All that is here is temporal, will fade away, but the power that is in the love of God is eternal. It raised Jesus from the tomb; it will raise us and exalt us in due time. God loves us as does Jesus. He laid down His life to pay a debt we had no way to cover…for love he did this.
In a dark and broken plain of existence that we currently reside in; remember that true believers have a hope and is visible through the Son shine. John 1:1-5. Having come from God as a sacrificial lamb; as described by John the Baptizer, John 1:29. Though things may be bleak and things broken; that is because of choices made by man through mammon, there is the declaration given from God in His infallible truths found in the Word, II Timothy 1:7-9. Paul exhorting Timothy to be cautious and mindful of the truth. I Timothy 1:4-14. Remember to study and show thy selves approved; of His truth and being bathed in Son shine.
John1:1-12, John 8:31&32; Then said Jesus(THE truth), to those Jews which believed on Him, if ye continue in my Word, then ye are MY disciples indeed; And ye shall KNOW the truth, and the TRUTH shall make you free. Speak truth and only truth. Share what you KNOW and testify to that knowledge that comes from our Heavenly Father.
We are to be sharing the gospel with all nations. The opportunity that all would be saved and come to know the Lord. Not just knowing of Him, but KNOWING Him.
Luke 2:8-20 speaks so clearly and pointedly to the message of good news. We are CALLED to do and share this very thing. No where in God’s Word does it say we need a degree or must go to school in order to share the truth or spread the good news of Jesus Christ or that of our Heavenly Father. In order to share the truth, one must know the truth and the truth as the scripture declares IS Jesus; John 14:6;Jesus saith unto him, I am the way the TRUTH and the life, no man cometh to the Father, but by me.
As an ambassador we MUST share in truth and knowledge. Good ambassadors share what they KNOW and not what they’ve heard about and this is why it’s vital that we walk in faith and not by sight. Guidance of the Holy Spirit will show that out to others; making it KNOWN to us the God who wants to be KNOWN. He is our good, good Father. Seek His face, His truth. Luke 2:17, John 1:41&42, Matthew 28:8, Acts 4:20, I Peter 2:12, Matthew 5:16.
Come on in as the water is fine. How will you KNOW if you don’t get in? Similar to many label heads or self proclaimed Christians that don’t really KNOW God or Jesus, but rather speak only what they’ve HEARD. Seek His truth and knowledge in His Word by reading from front to back and back to front. Follow the rule of faith. He can be found, but one must seek and just as offense can be found if that is what you seek. Truth, God and His way is made KNOWN if you will walk in His tenets.
Proverbs 3:5&6, Hosea 10:12&13…speaking of following our inclinations instead of that which we should be. More often than not, our own ways lead in error and confusion. Be that which He has called you to be.
God calls us for a purpose and when we try to make up reasons to not; as Moses did at the burning bush; we are deciding that God must have been in error. Be cautious because God’s reason and direction are specific and too high to understand. So allowing your infinite thought process that which is more profound than can be understood; walk in faith, seek His truth and declare only that which he has given. Be bold, courage in that as He tells us, The Lord Himself goes before you and will be with you, He will never leave you nor forsake you, do not be afraid or discouraged. Deuteronomy 31:8
Isaiah 53; the telling of the coming of Jesus by God’s prophet Isaiah. Telling the nation of his life and death. Speaking to His majesty and His rejection by the very ones He came to save.
1Peter 5:6&7 Remembering to humble ourselves. Following His truth and His ways. When going it on our own or following deception rather than seeking guidance by the Holy Spirit we become ensnared. Psalm 36:5 is telling us of the absolute limitlessness of God; Matthew 11:28 is Jesus telling us to be in His way, the easy way, the humble way, the loving way.
II Thesellonians 2:2&3, John 8:32, 1John 4:1, Acts 17:10&11, Colossians 3:9&10,, Proverbs 12:22…Beware the false prophets and speakers of deception, for theirs is the way of our perdition and iniquity. Bending the Word of God and doing so to get others to do the very thing they are told NOT to do. Proverbs 11:22…Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord, but they that deal truly ARE his delight.
Malachi is deemed as a lesser prophet by those that esteem themselves higher than they ought. He was and is with our Lord and spoke His truth as relevant today as it was when he spoke to the nation. Speaking of their complacent attitudes that led to falsehoods in teaching, froward doctrinal instructions and completely against the tenets of God. He spoke to the coming of Jesus and his being the refiner and Fuller’s Soap. To cleanse us and remove our stains.
John 16:28-33, IJohn, 2ndJohn, 3rdJohn, Philippians 4. These letters all written in times of relative conflict within the churches and relevant to the churches this day; despite what naysayers or them that pervert the Word of God. The Word of God does not require rewriting to maintain relevance. It is as relevant now as it was when written and published first. The Author and Finisher has declared it so. Revelation 22 is not to be forgotten.
A turning point being that which allows or you seek to change direction. By guidance of the Holy Spirit or because you desire to repent. Remember that repentance simply means change direction or turn around. In all that, seeking to know God and realize that is His desire for us. To know and be in a personal relationship with you and me. Read in Psalm 145 the God I’ve come to know and He is my friend, my Lord, my sovereign and Heavenly Father.
Seek His truth and know that His promises are true; unlike the promises that are made by governments of this world. They will promise to draw you in and then fail to fulfill. Remember that true believers walk not by what we can see, but we walk by faith and our sovereign Lord God is HE THAT IS TRUTH. Seek His wisdom as one would seek a fine treasure, He will be found. Seek, find; knock and He will open to you, ask of Him through Christ His Son and our Lord and He will provide.
I invite you and sharing through one of my mentors readings; come in and get to KNOW God. He desires a personal relationship with each and every one of us. We ARE His children. Psalm 14:1, John 17:3, Psalm 37:3, Psalm 145:3, Romans 11:33, Ephesians 3:8.
Remember the word gospel means good news. God’s Word, the Bible is all gospel. It is the good news that God is our Heavenly Father. His infallible truths; the absolute and unfailing promises of God. The empirical evidence of God’s presence through Christ my Lord. John 3:16-21, Numbers 6:24-26.
John 1:1-5, Exodus 14:13&14, And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand STILL and see the salvation of the Lord which He will shew to you today; for the Egyptians whom ye have seen today, ye shall see no more forever. THE LORD WILL FIGHT FOR YOU and ye shall hold your peace. Do not believe the lies that are intended by the enemy to disrupt your walking WITH God.
Psalm 9:19&20, Psalm 11:1, Psalm 12:1&2, Psalm 13:5&6, Psalm 14:1&2, Psalm 16:7, Psalm 16:11, psalm 18:1-3, Psalm 18:28 all declarations of His truth and worthiness to be praised. Yahweh Ahman!!
John 10:10 speaks to our Good Shepherd. He willing gave his life for us, to save us from the darkness. We are saved by grace and His love for us is so powerful…Roman’s 8:35-39. There is none that can separate us from that love.
As our lead pastor at God’s house that I attend on Sunday for fellowship and teachings; he shares with us the heart of God, as John writes. As I’ve shared with you abiding…Jesus shares with us and teaching through the analogy of the vine. Let us bring good fruit. Seeking validation of God and not of man. John 15, Luke 12: 25&26…The validation often sought of those around is of no import in truth.
Invite Him in to abide in a personal relationship with Abba Yahweh. Seek His truth. Seek and ye shall find, knock and it will be opened unto you. Ask at it shall be given.
Faith in things that don’t really matter, yet not in God because you can’t see Him. See your mechanic doing the work? The avionics crew before your cross country, cross the globe flight? Sometimes not even seeing the pilot doing his REQUIRED ground check, but just not thinking about it. Somehow faith in all that remains unseen here is different. The sovereign Lord my God I see everyday and hear Him. Faith and lean in to hear His still small voice.
Open your hands from the fist that holds so tightly that thing from the past; too so that you can receive that which God desires to bless you with. Oft times we will flee from that which is to bless and strengthen us because in our finite minds it cannot be figured out. This is the mystery of Abba Yahweh. He came down and the Word made flesh for our sake, for His love for us.
Do not be afraid of what is seen in the headlines. Know that what we see is not something new. Testimony of these things is given in the Bible throughout His Word. Daniel, Jeremiah, Isaiah, John, Paul and the Lord Jesus spoke to us; reminding us that it shall be as it was in the days of Noe before the return of the Son of Man. That title is referenced first in Daniel speaking to Jesus our Lord and Savior, my Lord and Savior. John 17, Isaiah 40.
Being open minded is a good thing, but seek the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Do not forget that the mind is the weakest point of attack from the enemy and it does not matter what YOU believe you intellectual prowess may be. Psalm 141:1-4, Proverbs 23:6-8, I John 3:24, Philippians 4:4-7.
We are reminded throughout God’s Word that he is with us. Not to be afraid, in Deuteronomy we see that the nation is reminded by Moses that Hashem; Lord God is with us always. He does not nor will He ever forsake us. Always by us and always with us. Have faith in Him for this very thing. Isaiah 41:10, Joshua 1:9, Psalm 143, Mark 14:36,I Kings 19:4 and Jeremiah 20:18.
John 14, Romans 81&2 Psalm 46:10…run to Him and seek His peace. Teach me Lord to wait. Seek the Paracletos for he will comfort you, guide you and teach you.
John 14 is writing of taking us via Jesus to Abba Yahweh…our Heavenly Father. There is only one way to the Father and we are taught that way. There are many deceivers that teach falsely and take others into false doctrine. You’ve heard the Word and the Word is good. John tells us to try the spirit In all things and Paracletos will guide. The Holy Spirit will reveal. Don’t forget that Jesus told us, though he goes; he will not forsake us and leave us without guidance and the Holy Spirit came to be with us. He will not leave us nor forsake us. John 14,
Proverbs 16:18, Jude 16…look not to ourselves in what we have done, but what God hath attained in using us for His will. In my weakness he is strong and able.
Remember to walk AS a Christian and as a peculiar people, it is most assuredly okay not to “fit” in. Remember that validation of man is not what matters, but the validation of God is all that matters. If we look back into the book of Daniel we see that the four young Hebrew men that were captive; bold upright and courageous, but not arrogant. Walking as a Christian even before that term was known of by man, yet they did so. Like minded they were of the tenets of God. I Peter 2:9, Philippians 2, Romans 8:6, Genesis 1:26-27.
The mercurial tendencies that we display or ma display are contrary to His truth. Remember that being in THAT way is fickle, some would say wishy washy, unsure and is against His teaching. We are to love one another, pray for each other and lift each other in His truth. Deuteronomy 31:6, Joshua 1:9, He is with us always. John 3:16 is a demonstration of God’s love; John writes in his first letter the import of God’s love, I John 2.
Psalm 107:8, Psalm 31:6, Isaiah 61:10, Jeremiah 31:3, Psalm 23. The scriptures constantly remind us of the infinite deity and sovereignty of Hashem, Lord Thy God. We however, if following our own finite mind which either has been influenced by white noise or is being disturbed by the same is overshadowed by doubts or lies. The sovereignty of God and the leading of the Holy Spirit, Paracletos of Yahweh, as we are told in His Word, Proverbs 3:5&6….reminded Not to lean towards not our own understanding. Follow the spirit of Truth.
In all things that we do in this plain of existence we do according to the guidance of His Word. The Bible is our guide book, our road map, our instruction manual. Be in the word, study His Word. Commit it to your hearts. Where your mind is so shall your heart be also. If your not in His Word, not studying His truth you will not be committed to it and like them that speak froward of God’s truth as well as false doctrine; wandering in the darkness. John 1, I John 1, Joshua 1:1-9. Be in His truth and not what is molded of mammon to be truth. Be faithful to His tenets.
The calling of our Lord in His truth, knowledge and wisdom. As in John’s writing we read of testimony of that power. When Jesus was taken before the Roman Magistrate Pílate; he told the Pharisees who wanted the Romans to crucify Jesus; not once, but three times that he had found no Gile, deception in Jesus; he found He was truthful. Three times he told them that there was no reason to crucify Him. For all He had done and still does is tell the truth. He tells us that our yays be yays and our nays be nays. Be truthful in all we say and do. Truth and only truth. Jesus is telling us that if we say it, BE it. Truth.
Matthew 6 is a reminder of several things from Jesus. He shares a prayer that’s we must remember; all is in God’s will be done. Forgiveness is a tenet we must follow and the impossibility to serve two masters. Reminding too of not fretting on this or that and it does not add time nor stature. All it does is cause anxiety. Tomorrow is not promised to anyone. Don’t forget that in these things; God is a respecter of no man or woman. He cares nothing of your wealth or lack there of, cares nothing about your skin tone nor your appearance. What God cares about is the character of your heart. Never forget that character of love, grace and mercy He gives and does so freely.
Isaiah 43:1 God speaks to not only Jacob(Israel), but he is speaking to us. He calls us by name, we are His and there is nothing that take us from Him. I am His and He is mine. He is Hashem, the Lord Thy God.
Yes, our kingdom…for as a true believer we are told that we are heirs and joint heirs with Jesus Christ. What a beautiful place and we should be taking great delight in sharing with others. Yet, sadly there are many that do not nor will they. Instead; their declaration is that “We win anyway, so why should I?” Because it’s HIS will and His tenets that we are to follow and not our own. Remember always that which Jesus taught; our Father which art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, THY WILL BE DONE…Matthew 6:9-15.
We learn in Genesis of the great difficulty the nation of Israel had in doing this. WE have difficulty in doing this. Allowing ourselves to be caught up in the midst of all that is going on around us. Stay focused on Him and ponder God’s way and His will, not being caught up and attempting to decide and do on our own; which will lead to ruination. Exodus 15:18-25, Psalm 31:14
In His Word, in His truth, in His walk. Seeking first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these thing shall be added unto you. Mamma n cannot fathom the depth of God’s love. He promises that there is no thing that can take us away from Him. Abba Yahweh Ahman!!
His ONLY begotten son came, broken and died for our salvation. That salvation comes through Him being broken and providing the way to our Heavenly Father. There is not one way to our Heavenly Father and Jesus is THE way. Salvation is by the grace of God and is free and indeed. Set aside the thoughts of the finite and LISTEN to His Word. Proverbs 3:5&6, Jeremiah 17:7, Romans 8:28, Peter 2:9.
I urge you to be strong and heed the speaking of the Holy Spirit in ALL things. The liars and deceit is growing and even becoming bolder in declaration. Hold strong to he tenets of our sovereign Lord God Almighty. He is truth, love and the light. That heavenly light that confounds the darkness.
Coming into this day that is celebrated in this time for Jesus resurrection; I declare that it should be celebrated all the time. If not for the sacrifice, the resurrection; there’d be NO SALVATION. There is not one way to God our Father and that is Jesus His ONLY begotten Son. Hebrews 13:8, Romans 8:31, Colossians 3:17, Genesis 28:15. His promise to be with us always, to our coming home to our Father. This plain of existence we’re on I have a work visa to reside here, but my home, my hope is in Christ my King and will be in heaven. Please remember that Rev. Billy Graham declared,”This is NOT my hom, I’m just passing through.”
Know this that story tellers abound in this day. Some stories will bring a tear and touch the hearts of listeners. Without God centered and His truth, without taking and teaching from His Word; they are just stories and intended for self glorification and not to glorify God. They parade back and forth in fairy tales and fables to satisfy the itchy ears. They that only want to hear what they want to hear and the truth repels them. Picking and choosing what part of he Bible they read or rebuke. Sounds very much like the Sanhedrin.
Isaiah 59, John 16:33, II Timothy 6:1-8: The season that Isaiah speaks of has come to us. I exhort you to stay in His Word. Don’t be of an itchy ear; desiring to hear only what you want to hear. Be as we are told to be. Bold, upright and courageous in his righteousness and truth. Always truth. Not bending or manipulating it; just the truth.
We find in the writings of Luke, the signs and wonders of things around us. Luke 21. We finds in Acts 2 that Peter speaks to these things and in the teaching; three thousand came to know Jesus in a personal way. I pray brothers and sisters that you draw nigh to Him and declare; I do, I will, Let’s go.
There are many choices throughout life, but only one that is a matter of life and death. Do you choose the promise of eternal life, adoption into the eternal family of God and becoming an heir and joint heir with Jesus Christ? That is a powerful place; jointly an heir in the Kingdom of Heaven! Ephesians 3:16, II Timothy 1:7.
Zechariah 2:13, Psalm 56:10&11, Psalm 105: 2-4, Chronicles 16. Look to the Lord and seek His face always. In all things seek the guidance of His Paracletos; for His Spirit will surely guide us in everything. Don’t be so caught up in all that going on around us on a daily basis and don’t be as some are; feeling as if they MUST find something to do. As if taking quiet time I to commune with God is a detriment; in fact it is an enhancement.
Borrowed part of the lyrics from an artist song writer from some years ago. Sharing a verbal analogy in the difference between hearing and listening. This song writer is single GN about the love and not in a person. Hearing the melody one may think one thing, but in listening to the words, clarity is realized. As it is with God’s voice. Are you hearing or are you listening? You know God is speaking and does, but if you’re not LISTENING, you will miss out on something so beautiful. Listen to Him and know that it does take practice. Deciphering God’s voice over the din that is wrought in the white noise the devil pours out our way; takes some practice. Lean in and listen.
On this day proclaimed by our calendar to be Palm Sunday…celebrating the entry into Jerusalem of Jesus. The Lamb of God for our redemption, cleansing and adoption. Simply believe, have faith and guidance in His truth.
Be cautious because if you show out contrary to what you saw that makes you untruthful and a hypocrite. Be in His truth and pray the spirit in all things. Stay in His Word; seeking His truth, knowledge and wisdom. The Holy Spirit will guide. Finding and not understanding? Pray the Spirit and He will guide and clarify. Remembering that it is NOT prudent to share as some do that evil is good and good is evil, bitter is sweet and that sweet is bitter. This is white noise and confusion comes from one place in only.
iTimothy 2:1-8, Isaiah 30:15&16, II Timothy 2:10-17, Hosea 4…His truth and teaching, but the nation has turned its back on God. The prophet testifies to the egregious acts and false teachings of their priests. Rejection of truth and knowledge forsaking His wisdom for their own.
We find in the Word that Jesus walked and was surrounded by arrogance and contrary teachings. He is filled with compassion and love. Jesus didn’t like some, but He lived all. Why else would He declare with final breath calling to God; forgiveness of those He was constantly degraded by and rejected from by their arrogance and lack of truth and wisdom. We must practice that which He taught; not just by oration, but by His example.
James 4:13-15, Matthew 6, Isaiah 40:31, Isaiah 30:15&16. Stay in prayer as it is the practical thing we are told to do by the Word of God. It is truth and our guide, by his Word and by Paracletos, His Holy Spirit. As Jesus shared with the woman at the well of the time that ALL would be able to worship God whenever and wherever in TRUTH AND SPIRIT because He is truth and spirit.
In His truth and faith n the salvation that he came to impart to any and all that choose to believe. Do not forget that we have been given a choice and choose with wisdom in that which is truth. John 3:16; His truth for us all.
I discuss the aspect of the women that took care of the disciples and Jesus and that as is my perception , the tempering of His disciples. The raising of Lazarus and the glory of God that is so oft times overlooked, and ignored and simply forgotten. Our mindset is very important in that what is in our minds, so shall our hearts be. Glorify God, thank Him, praise Him and worship Him. Romans 12:1-5, II Timothy 1: 7-9.
Learning to wait upon the Lord is difficult for many. Satan loves that aspect of the nature we have adopted; it allows for his white noise and fearfulness to flourish. Remember this, the Lord fully knows us and He knows we are weak, but not n Him we are strong. Wait on the Lord; the Holy Spirit of God will lead, guide and teach. Lamentations 3:24-26, Isaiah 40:31 David’s Psalm to God Psalm 16:11
The Word of God is truth and righteousness. Never in blame or confusion. That comes from one place and only from there. Romans 8:1 tells us that God directs and will not be in confusion or condemnation. He is Hashem the Lord Thy God. He loves you and wants you to be an heir and joint heir with He who came and died for us to make that so. John 15:13 Jesus speaks of the greater gift and he also calls us friends. No where in the Bible does the King of Kings call us His servants or subjects. He declares that we are to serve one another; that we are brethren and friends and God declares that we are joint heirs with Jesus in the Kingdom of Heaven.
In Habakkuk 3:17 we find our Lord God of even if. Satan desires in us that God be diminished; we separate ourselves from the truth by believing his lies. Satan’s desire is to lie, steal and scatter the flock; to separate us from God and truth. Hold fast to God’s truth, seek His face and stay in the Word. His Góspel. The good news is in the Word of God; given of God to guide us in this plain of existence.
Satan drives fear into us by the what ifs…We find throughout the Word of God truth and testimony that He is sovereign and the God of even if. The example we find in the story of Job. He had some that came declaring friendship, but instead came to access blame. Only one came as a friend. Remember that blame comes from one place and one only. David was a king of even if and declared that God is sovereign over ALL and is God of even if. Read through Job and as Job testified; Job 1: 21&22…and said naked shall I return thither…in ALL this Job sinned not…psalms that were penned by David, honoring God in His sovereignty.
God is still God, Hashem,; Jesus is still Lord of Lords and the Holy Spirit is still my guide. So, what if?! Even if. Philippians 4:4, psalm 95:1&2, Psalm 9:10, II Corinthians 2:14. Truth is ALWAYS truth no matter what takes place around us; lies will change and alter depending on eventual occurrences.
Those things that we face daily; Satan wants us to be in turmoil and fearful, but Hashem, Lord Thy God tells us He is with us and don’t be afraid nor dismayed. Follow His Spirit, come in spirit and truth to Him humbly, but boldly.
Isaiah 43:1 is an introduction of the person of our Lord in that He is our redeemer. Jesus hung by nails on the cross to redeem us. To set us free from the bondage of sin; adopt us into His family. We are heirs and joint heirs in the Kingdom of heaven. Romans 8 is our adoption letter. Very importantly Romans 8:1 tells us there is NO condemnation for those of us that love the Lord.
God’s Word, The Bible is filled with His truths. It is our guide book through life’s broken paths. Not because of any other reason, but mammon has made it that way. God’s way is the truth and the right way. Believe ye n Him and be delivered and set free. Jesus came and as John the Baptizer declared, behold the Lamb of God. Reading in Samuel; David knew of His truth. The blind man at the gate knew of His truth. We find that as with the Pharisees; if truth doesn’t fit the mindset, others will choose lies and that took our Lord to the cross. Yet, before telling Yahweh it was finished, he looked to heaven and asked to forgive them for their ignorance. Can we do that?
Jesus restores the sight of a man blind from birth. John :9 gives this story and details that which occurred at Jesus’ hand. The Pharisees determined to remain blinded, in the dark and declaring that THEY are judges; usurping the authority of our Lord, could not behold the glory of God.
Delivery of the Word of God as directed by the Holy Spirit; I will be given a detour, but my faith is that the detour IS the road. His guidance, truth, knowledge and wisdom.
Exodus 12 speaks to the sign of passage given of God and delivered by Moses. Declaration of the nation to invite others into the house under the blood of the ‘Lamb of God’ as it is in this our days. We must be about His way and share the Word of God to and with others so they may be saved. Sharing further in Revelation 10 the Angel of God comes in John’s vision and he testifies. Seek our Lord in His Word. Seek not to be offended, rather to gain knowledge and wisdom.
The promises of Yahweh, Abba in His scriptures; Psalm 139:1-4, the comfort of His knowledge of me and He fully loves me. 2 Corinthians 1:21-22 in that He has sealed me as His; Joshua 1…. The promises of God that we are His and He is ours through the power of the blood shed for us on the cross. Jesus did this so that I could go home; so that you could go home, IF you CHOOSE to do so. John 3:16 is of import and read contextually His truth believe not the perversions of those that teach lies and false doctrines; be aware there are many that speak and teach frowardly; deliberately contrary to the Word of God.
I’ve share with you before of the so called Christmas Carol Joy to the World; in actuality not just a Carol. We can read in Revelation as to His voice of many waters; in the Carol singing of the testimony of His majesty from the rocks, hills and plains…repeat the sounding joy, echos from the canyons in the mountains. Clothing the birds of the air, fish of the sea adorned in majestic colors. Flowers of the fields that as the scriptures declare; would make Solomon envious. The difference between declaration of nature around us and that of mammon; nature is ALWAYS truthful and mammon oft times prefers lies. DO NOT SUGAR COAT OR HONEY DRIP THE GOSPEL OF GOD ALMIGHTY.
Seek His truth and do not fall prey to the lies of mammon or be turned by the white noise. Zephaniah 3:17 tells us that our Lord sings over us; was ches over us. He is our strong tower. Psalm 40 speaks to our WAITING on the Lord. For it is waiting on His timing and moving that our walk is made good. Learn to wait on Him in faith.
Let us not forget to follow the Rule of Faith which is that we follow front front cover to back cover and through again; back to front. We learn so much in following, paying attention and not just hearing the truth, but listening to that truth. Regula Fidelis is the way of the Lord. Going from the letters written in the New Testament and following through His Word into the Old Testament with spiritual hearing and eyesight; we are blessed by His truth, knowledge and wisdom. Yahweh Ahman!!
There are many that are come today that speak frowardly and for personal gain in position of hirling shepherds. Supposed to be leading, guiding congregations in His truth yet are not. 1 John 4 tells us to try the spirit. Ask the Holy Spirit to guide and he will have you stay for the truth or you go because of deceit. Jesus tells us in Matthew 24 of the false teachings. Be guarded, but be bold and courageous in Him.
Genesis 14 speaks to the person of Melchizedek as we find Paul talking about Jesus in a verbal illustration. This man was a king and a priest and he brought bread and wine out blessing Abram. Our Lord Jesus is King of Kings and Lord of Lords; He also is in prayer for us daily, presenting to our Heavenly Father on our behalf love.
Honorifics are bestowed and as with our Heavenly Father; they are His and not because mammon has decided, but because He is. When coming before God, be bold, humble and upright in His righteousness. He is Abba Yahweh and desires of us a relationship with his children. We are that and He has declared that they that TRULY believe are and is with us always. The declaration of His truth, knowledge and wisdom is His business and I MUST be about that.
Comparisons that we make put bricks in the wall we allow to be built around our heart. Isaiah 5:20, Isaiah 26:3-7, II Corinthians 10:3-8. WE ourselves are responsible for each brick that is laid in preparation to keep out that which belongs. However, in our weakness is His strength and the spirit of His truth; II Corinthians 10:4. So, in our weakness is HIS strength.
When Jesus taught us about yay and nay, He was teaching about truth. Always be truthful; bold and upright to in righteous truth. No bending to sugar coat and diminish. ALWAYS truth. His truth, knowledge and wisdom.
Remember hat we are called to be in our Father’s business, but many have turned from Him. Matead hey are about THEIR business and that of heir father he devil. Yes, I call hem out and don’t forget in Matthew 24; Jesus, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords reminds us and warns us of this very thing. There are those now hat are declaring that Jesus will be at heir building to endorse their ministry. Nothing we say or do is about my anything. I am about our Heavenly Father’s business and His truth. To do and be about that thing He has called me for. Yahweh Ahman!!
We are told to do this thing; keep in mind that this is not just our walk here on this plain of existence. In our true home in heaven our time will be with our Lord AND with our loved ones and our heavenly family. To be with them again, to know them, share with them. Remember that in Him we are heirs to the Kingdom of Heaven.
There are things going on now in this plain of existence that true believers need to be aware of. Be diligent in your studies of His truth. Jesus gave us warning in Matthew 24 of the false teachers that WILL come and warned that even those that claim to believe, will be deceived. John tells us to try the spirit so that the TRUTH is revealed. Be aware that the devil seeks to enter for theft, death and destruction. Described this way by Jesus. Coming to the flock to slaughter. God however has given us armor and strength. II Timothy 1:7; For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but that of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. Further in II Timothy 1:13&14;Hold fast the form of SOUND WORDS, which thou hast heard of me, in FAITH and LIVE which is in Christ Jesus. That good thing which was committed unto thee, keep by the Holy Ghost which dwellers in us.
Jesus tells us that worrying does not increase our life or that of others. Most of what we worry about is not ours yet anyway and we bring that where it does not belong.
Open spiritual eyes and ears for truth and the declaration of truth. He speaks to us and shows us. Be warned of them that come in deception and untruth. All is in His Word. Matthew 24.
We are given blessed assurance and he Word reminds us. John 1:1-8, II Timothy 1:7 and II Timothy 4. The second letter Paul wrote to Timothy was while he was imprisoned and awaiting execution. He desired Timothy to be emboldened in the truth and shared assurance of God’s promise.
God has given us authority to do that very thing. Luke 10, Ephesians 6. Do not be slothful, but stand upright and bold in His righteousness. He knows we have fear and are weak, but in Him we are strong and WITH him we need not be fearful.
We can find in John examples of valuation of our Lord. John 5 is a prime example that the elders had more value in THEIR declaration of sabbath than in the Lord. Jesus healed the man, lame for thirty eight years, but finding not the beauty and power of our Lord, but that he told this man to carry his bed on the sabbath. Incidentally, that was not a written law, but one they declared. The man himself questioned their integrity. It infuriated them so that they sought to kill Jesus. Where is YOUR value? That God’s validation is most important? Or, do you worry more about what people will say or think about you? Remember this; God does NOT respect ANY man or woman for what they have or have not. Our Heavenly Father’s concern is only in the character of our heart.
Are we focused on the promises of God or distracted by the lies of mammon and the minions of hell? The tactics that the enemy will use is to draw our focus from He who is true and His righteousness. This is why God tells us in Deuteronomy, Joshua, Isaiah and His other books; be NOT afraid, He is with us always.
Do you value God/Christ more than the opinion of and from mammon? God’s value of us as His children, and making Him center of our lives is so much more important. We tend to put more trust in opinions of mammon then in seeking the importance of God’s Word.
Edification, the uplifting and more than just sharing of knowledge. The uplifting of brothers and sisters in clarity to KNOW His truth. We are called to be of one mind and one spirit through our Lord Jesus unto Abba Yahweh. Remember that Jesus told us that the only way to our father is through Him.
Be ready and willing to hear truth, self examine to build faith and encouragement for self and others. We must edify, exhort and build up brothers and sisters. ALWAYS in truth.
Raise the battle cry and be the warrior he called you to be. Stand in the gap. Being mindful of brothers and sisters, being in prayer and pray continually for the church; which is under attack. Pray for our pastors and keep the elders lifted by n prayer. Do not be slothful, but be about our Heavenly Father’s business.
His Word to hear, listen and heed…taking us not JUST to victory, but to being conquerors. Psalm 31:14, Colossians 2:6-7, Psalm14:18, 1 Peter 5:7.
There is a great moving of God’s spirit, but too in the moving of the minions of hell and Satan. He wants to steal, divide and take whatever we allow to be done. Do not forget; Luke 10:19, Luke 11: 9, Luke 11:17, Luke 12: 1-4.
There is a real spiritual battle that is all around us and is growing. Don’t be blinded by foolish rhetoric, but seek from Him all truth. The Holy Spirit will lead and guide. Be not afraid for Hashem the Lord thy God is with you and did make you a suit of armor. Don’t expend your energy on the vain struggles of this plain of existence, but instead focus on what matters most and is truth. That in prayer for all to have the opportunity for redemption. Shalom.
David wrote of God’s light and He shines that on us who are walking in faith. John 1:5 speaks to the light of our Lord and the light confounded the darkness. John 9:4 I perceive is the coming darkness and we share the truth, the light and the salvation that all are offered. Glory in perpetual light, heavenly light.
So many declare being puzzled by the enigma of or Lord’s teaching. He is in the scriptures a great mystery, but in seeking His face and praying through the spirit, His truth is revealed to us clearly. Seek ye first the kingdom of God and he WILL give all these things unto you. The scripture is not promising mansions and riches on this plain of existence, but the revelation of His truth, knowledge and wisdom; His love and promises. Lean in and hear His voice. Hashem speaks.
Nothing can separate us from the love of God. We are reminded of this truth in numerous places in His Word. Communion is not just about the remembering in the wine and bread; it is remembering His love and the sacrifice Jesus made because of that love.
We must show out that which He has put in us. Show out His truth, His knowledge and His wisdom. In III John he speaks of a deceiver and one loving himself more so than sharing that of God and our Lord. Be cautious for deceivers abound. Seek the guidance of the Holy Spirit, He will answer and guide.
Communion is not only term regarding the sharing of the Eucharist in remembering Jesus; communion is a group having a common faith TOGETHER. It is an association or fellowship. Know though that going to church is not a club meeting. We go to worship and praise the Lord.
The same power that raised Jesus, transfigured Jesus and took Him to our Heavenly Kingdom is that that He puts in us. Jesus establishes that fact in Luke. It is the power of he difference of us being just victorious or being conquerors. There is a fundamental difference in he two. God gives us that to me conquering the lies of the enemy; that white noise and to face him down.
We are all called to be about His business according to His purpose. This be done so that all may have an opportunity to be saved by His grace through His love shared. I Corinthians 13…Do these things in love or the clamor is for nothing and becomes just noise. As a golfer wants to stay out of the rough; we want to stay on the path h. Guidance from the Holy Spirit will keep us true.
Mandated of God; called according to His purpose and anointed by His will. Sharing of the good news and making it available to any and all as is by His design. In hat ALL oils have the opportunity for salvation by the grace of God. John 3:16, ICorinthians 1:10, ICorinthians 2:5.
God calls us to be about His business with His truth. He did not call us because of our ability, how perfect we may think we are. God calls despite of scars, weaknesses, or brokenness. We ARE weak, but He is strong. Let yay be yay and nay be nay; truth for truth sake. The Word was with God from the beginning; the Word was manifest in flesh and came to set us free. Speak truth and do not allow those things that we are told of become greater than what they are. Stay in his truth and be much more than just victors, be conquers and heirs to the kingdom of Heaven.
We are told to put on the full armor of God, but being prepared by studying His Word is of import. Study to show thyself approved, seek His way His truth so that your yay be yay and your nay would be all in truth.
Many of us will give conditions to our sovereign Lord when He calls. Either finding, as did Moses a list of excuses to not do as God would have us to do. He did not call us because of OUR perfection, but rather to serve and share.
We are called by God to be about His truth; we may have a varied anointing, but are called by God. We must be about His business which is the sharing of His truth and that Jesus gives us all opportunity to be heirs and joint heirs in the kingdom of heaven. Romans 8:17, Romans 8:28; called according to HIS purpose.
Keep in mind that the gospel is not just the New Testament. Many believe that it is the separation of the New Testament from the old. I share with you that is not so. The word gospel is from the Latin that means good news. God’s words are good news from first to last.
When the twelve spies went into the land God promised; ten came back with negative reports. They saw themselves as diminished and did not hold to God’s promise. We lose sight of direction because of lacking in faith. God does not sleep nor does he slumber. ALWAYS watching over us.
That light is our heavenly home, our hope in glory. Look to our faithful God. Hashem is your truth and He is faithful and true.
The Lord God IS our Heavenly Father and we MUST in all we do remember that; know hat His love and His correcting is because of His love for me/us and to strengthen our faith in Him. Finest gold comes through fire.
Lesson that we are taught may come through an uncomfortable situation, but remember that coming from God, it is for good. The fortifying of our faith is through that discomfort. Remember that the best, purest gold comes from heat and fire. God is transforming us into that beautiful piece so when we arrive home he tells us welcome home.
If we walk around n His spirit of truth and faith in Him; then we shine out that which will illuminate through the darkness that is in this plain of existence. Show that light to all around us.
Stop being offended at everything that is uttered or seen: in seeking offense ye shall surely find it. Instead, shine that which has been given us and in us, His truth and light. Shine it out and be a guide to the haven of truth, a peaceful rest in Abba Yahweh.
We are given directions from God to go out to all nations and share the Word of God in His truth, knowledge and wisdom. We are on a CO-mission with Christ my king and we must reflect outward that which has been put inward.
Seek His way and truth. Our mindset diminishes that to be done because His thoughts are so much higher than ours and the finite minds of mammon cannot fathom the truth. Think instead with the heart and spirit of truth. Study His ways and truth from His word; the infallible word of God, the empirical evidence shown and seen with spiritual eyesight and not our own.
Remember the import of God centered walk. He does not expect perfection ever from us; He knows we are not as He who is perfect is not come yet. As promised; Jesus will come again and then perfection will be here. God just wants our heart to be residence for His spirit and relationship with Him.
II Timothy 1:7-9, Luke 10:17-19, Romans 8:28-31: these truths and authority are given us by the Maker of ALL Things Made. By Him all things consist. This as true believers know by His truth, knowledge and wisdom….what then shall we say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? Being afraid of Satan? Surely not because we have been given authority over him and his minions.
The promises of Abba are true and righteous. All through the word the evidence is there. Naysayers will declare that God is of condemnation, but failing in studying the truth. Going back and seeking truth we find Noe; instructed to build the ark and so many don’t even realize that not only building, but preaching one hundred plus years repentance. Gives GN mammon the opportunity to change direction and come back. Mammon chose to make fun and go their own way. As is asked, how’d that work out? Seek ye first the kingdom of God and stop trying to use finite thinking to figure out the infinite thoughts of Yahweh; Isaiah 55:6-13.
Psalm 119 is David’s declaration of God’s Word, Proverbs 3:3, Jesús declares the promise of God to and for us. Philippians 4:13; God always watchful and hold fast to Romans 8:28 from our adoption letter. Be cautious; for this truth is upon us: Isaiah 5:20.
Absolutely not. The problem was in mammon in what they and we CHOOSE to believe. We oft times will declare ourselves to be what we are not. As Jesus declares and tells us; “let your yay be yay and your nay be nay. Jesus reminds us to speak truth, always.
In a more complete illustration of God’s teaching to us through His truth; the Holy Spirit guides my thoughts and sight of this. Forgiveness is not necessarily for those being foregiven by us, but in healing us in forgiving them. It must be done as often as necessary to heal. Abba Yahweh Ahman!! Yeshua Ahman!! Paracletos Ahman!!
Following our Lord and His testimony of God our Heavenly Father. The good news, gospel of the Word of God.
Repentance is conveyed more correctly in the Hebrew word as well as Greek teaching. It has nothing to do with changing hearts as that does not belong to us. Our mind does as we are given: by God a free will. The heart belongs to God and following His truth, knowledge and wisdom His spirit will reside there.
We get so caught up in what others think and see in us; that is only a portion. We must share and show out what our Heavenly Father has put in us. His love, compassion and kindness. His light.
As the Word declares that Jesus IS light and life; we are to be in that light. As we walk this plain of existence, speak truth, walk with His light shine out to those around us. Don’t fall prey to emulation of those in this plain; wanting what is beyond the reality. Instead desire to be more like Him. Remember too, God does not expect perfection and he doesn’t look for that. He just wants your hearts.
The only begotten son of God; who came for us, so that we could have a personal relationship with God. God desires that of His children. Choose that walk with Him and in thanksgiving.
Lamentations 4:20-25, Isaiah 40:28-31, Isaiah 41:10, Jeremiah 1:9. These are just a few that speak to His faithfulness and goodness of God. God does good to His children not because it’s the right thing to do, but that is the CHARACTER of my Heavenly Father. Abba Yahweh Ahman!!
Comparing ourselves will oft times drive us to distraction. In word shared by one of my mentors; comparisons will have us either thinking we are superhuman: in that we are better than or subhuman: in that we are not good enough. In Jesus’ teaching and walking in the spirit, we are simply human. I’m n our weaknesses, coming to him in repentance and confessing, we are made strong. Luke 7:34 is the starting of how comparative thought shows to be infective. Jesus rebuking and showing that we do not fall into judgementalism or pharasitical practices. Compassion, kindness and God’s love in us is the truth and the way.
Specifically speaking to the authority of Christ and none of our own. All is His and He is King of Kings, Lord of Lords. Psalm 8:3-9, Luke 10:17-24, Matthew 7:21-29. Verse 28-29 speaks to the astonishment of the crowd because of the AUTHORITY of His teaching and not like that of the scribes. His authority through our Father.
Psalm 34, II Corinthians 5:7, Proverbs 3:5&6; We can read of the truth in His walk. We may err and fail in a moment, but that does NOT make us a failure. In His strength and depending on Him; we are strong. Be bold and courageous in His righteousness. Exercising instead of arrogant SELF righteousness, humble adoration and bringing our weakness to Him for strength. Coming to His gates in thanks, praise and worshiping Him; not in self righteous arrogance, but in humbleness in our need for Him.
Knowing and remembering that as spoken through Psalm 139; we cannot be anywhere that God is not. Romans 8 speaks to all that goes on, no matter what; it is made good to them that love The Lord.
The enemy desires that we stray from the path and get caught up in all that goes on around us. Stay bold, upright and courageous in righteousness. His truth.
The very nature of God is his love and desire for us to be near and with Him. The very nature of the minions of Satan and the lies is to keeps us from that which God gives to us freely. Stay close to God and as Paul shares in Philippians 4:8-11; focus on all those things that are in God’s character. Look with spiritual eyesight.
God provides a means always. Satan wants us to believe that what we’re going through is somehow tougher and we are alone. Totally contrary to the Word of God. I Corinthians 10. The brokenness and what we go through is not different. God promises to be with us always. We are NEVER alone.
Remember hat our Lord teaches that where you place the ideals of treasure, there too will your heart reside. Are you faithfully looking to the promise of being heirs and joint heirs in the kingdom of heaven; or looking to the manifestation of temporal wealth here.
Jesus came for our freedom, to be unbind us from the lies and deceit of the enemy. Be rid of the white noise of his minions and focus on the truth spoken to us through the Word of God. Luke 10:18-20. In this passage, declaration given to them, but as a TRUE believer He gives that authority to US. We are disciples of Christ if we are TRUE believers.
We are told in some key scriptures of the armor of God and to be bold, courageous and upright to n His righteousness. Sharing of His truth so that others have the opportunity to be saved. Be about our Father’s Business.
We must share His truth with all. Giving the opportunity for salvation, reconciliation and being brought into the family of God. To be heirs and joint heirs in the kingdom of heaven. Promised in His word.
The gospel (good news) that Christ(anointed of God) came for our sakes so that we, as adopted into the family of God; are heirs and joint heirs with Christ.
Declaration of mammon as this being a special time of year. Why? Jesus does not take time of from His being anointed of God to save the people that choose to believe. He is good, kind and compassionate all the time. We too should be; all the time.
Time of year does not matter nor do circumstances. What does matter is the sharing of the gospel(good news). The word gospel translates to good news and is NOT a separation of old and new testaments. The entire Bible is the Gospel of God the Father, Jesus the Son and the Holy Ghost.
As Jesus taught at the death of Lazarus; if you believe and have faith; telling Martha and Mary, her sister the glory of God will be seen. We MUST remember that walking in faith and not by sight, we shall see…
Loving again confirmation of truth. The sharing of the analogy of joy being a destination rather than being tied up in and as an emotion. Remember that the joy of the Lord is my strength.
Evangelism is the spreading of the good news. The good news is that God so loves us that Jesus came to our plain of existence to die so that we would be free, heirs with Him in the kingdom of heaven.
The Gospels as many refer to the New Testament…the word Gospel actually means simply good news. In effect, the Bible in its entirety is purely the good news of God the Father and Christ His only begotten son.
The Lord calls to us, but many do not hear because they do not listen. Remember that seeking him means to not only see Him, but to listen to Him. Listen to him when he tells you of the greatness of the day in His sunrise.
ALL that God tells us in His word is truth. Having shared the words; empirical evidence before, meaning that it cannot be denied based in n what is presented. GOD IS TRUTH.
The Lord has given us authority, but not to declare what we do, but in what he does in our declaration of that. Even the demons know Him and His authority.
The word peculiar in old translation means unique, set apart. We ARE His and that makes us unique. Do we worry more of what mammon sees and thinks, or are we about His business and serving Him by serving others and setting aside what they think.
His truth and promises must be our practice. Study always His truth to show ourselves approved of the Sovereign Lord and be about His business.
Seek always His truth and wisdom; He will gladly share if asked. If you do not seek you shall not find; if you do not ask it shall not be answered…do you wish to be enLIGHTened or perhaps preferring to be dazed and confused.
The promises of God are deep and true. Lamentations 3:22-25, Philippians 3:13&14, John 1:1-5, John 8: 36.
Faith in God for His grace and salvation. We are in a fallen world and cannot fix everything we see around us that is broken. The white noise of the enemy and his minions are to draw focus away from God, the Lord Jesus and our guid the Holy Spirit. He is the only ‘fixer’.
We are ambassadors of the Lord God sovereign over all things. He is the maker of ALL things made. In this plain of existence that we are residing in; passing through, we share and give opportunity to others to be adopted and become heirs to the kingdom.
This season that mammon has decided shall be called the advent. Well, advent simply means the appearance… there will be the second advent when my Jesus comes not as sacrifice, but as conquering King and every knee shall bow and EVERY tongue confess.
Be first thankful for ALL that is around us and know that God will make ALL things good to them that love Hashem. The Lord Thy God.
We are told in the Word of God to come to His gate with thanksgiving, entering His courts with praise for He is worthy of praise and glory for always
As the song declares that His faithfulness is so great. Morning by morning of everyday HIS faithfulness is true. We must be thankful in all things; Roman’s 8:28, Romans 8:35-39.
Sometimes questioning what there is to be thankful for. There is John 3:16, Isaiah 43:1(interject your name). We are His.
Interesting turn of the Spirit in seeing Matthew 5 in the notes taken by Matthew and his perception. Jesus was on the mount amongst the multitude, but not teaching yet. Matthew 5:1&2… Jesus was with the multitude and yet he was set and His disciples came unto Him; AND HE OPENED HIS MOUTH AND TAUGHT THEM.
John 8 establishes by the written word the authority that Lord Jesus is in and shared with the world; yet many rejected it, him and condemned THEMSELVES.
Reading in John we find His truth and in Him our freedom. Seek not from mammon those things that only God gave give.
The true authority of the Lord was seen and immediately known. The authority that caused Nebuchadnezzar to recognize the fourth IN the furnace; that too prompted his rhetorical question to the counselors. The true authority that even the demons recognized. No fanfares, no trumpeting and no heralding…TRUE authority.
The reality is that Psalm 30:5 speaks to the pain or weeping in the night, but holding the righteous right hand of God; there will be joy in the morning.
God is with us in ALL things and look back to remember, not to be bound as Satan would prefer, but to remember that despite it all; God is with us.
Our finite minds are incapable of understanding God’s intent or His plans. Stop trying to figure them out; instead walk in faith and follow His guide.
God’s grace for our transgressions and the redeeming of our souls. The price Jesus my Lord paid for me to be saved. Yeshua Ahman!!
1John: 1-7, is of the beginning of His truth and goodness. Genesis 50:20 is Joseph sharing that very thing with his brothers who intended wickedness God made good. Rule of faith carries us to Proverbs 4:14-19 further of His goodness and the light. John speaks of our Lord as The light. Stay in Him and shine that light outward.
Our Lord and Christ gave us a certain authority, which did NOT include that of judgement. In doing so we are usurping the authority of Hashem. Remember the very one that attempted that very thing; Jesus tells us…I saw Satan fall as lightning from heaven. Paul writes in his first letter to Timothy to be in prayer for and NOT judge those in authority. It is good in the sight of God.
Psalm 30 is David’s declaration of not only God’s sovereignty, but His grace and tender mercies. Great indeed is His faithfulness.
His name alone is powerful. He came into this war torn world to give us the opportunity for salvation, He promises to stay by us until the end of the age and beyond as He is anointed of God.
Remember hat a pseudonym for Satan is Fear and he is a liar. False evidence appearing real. That is where the degradation comes in and aggradation comes from the Word Of God. The truth.
In this life we become perplexed, agitated, bewildered and often forget our guide. Stop, take a moment and regain focus on Him in thought and prayer. Seek Him; He will be found: knock and He will open up to you.
His word is His truth and we should not get caught up in validation mammon and seek only His validation. It is the only validation we need.
Hashem, the Lord Thy God is the only truth. His validation is all we need, but so many are running around to get so many to like them. Perhaps that is why there are so many that become absolutely distraught over nothing getting a like in the so called social media platform. Seriously?! Never having possibly met! Seek from God only what mammon is incapable of giving.
Reliance on oneself is doctrinally contrary to the tenets of God our Heavenly Father. It is contrary to the teachings of my Lord Jesus, Anointed of God, God With Us. If He is for us, who or what could possibly be against us?
Hashem, our Lord God is with us withersoever we go. We must not forget that doesn’t mean just the physicality of a map, but too in our joy, our grief and in our weakness. No matter where we tread; God forgives, He loves and is with us always. The white noise of the enemy tries to convince us otherwise… false evidence appearing real; to get us to believe that he has gone. The truth is that Hashem, thy Lord thy God will NEVER leave you nor forsake you…this is HIS word.
Seek her as in a treasure of the finest silver and gems. Knowledge is oft times described as a beautiful woman and finding it is a reward in and of itself; as with the beautiful woman: a reward in and of herself. Do so with God’s intent and not that of vile man. Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and in His righteousness
There will be times and situations that will disrupt the walk, but as we are told; be NOT afraid He is with us and will rise up. Matthew 8: as the waves came up; he arose and quelled the seas and winds.
The white noise that comes from the minions of the deceiver, separator, destroyer…wanting us to not obey. ALL things work together for good to them that love the Lord. Doing HIS will?; despite how uncomfortable it may be. God is working to fortify my faith, our faith in what we do.
Deuteronomy 31:6, Isaiah 41:10, Joshua 1:9; Matthew 28:20. He is with us always and as envisioned through empirical evidence of His faithfulness I share His truth, His knowledge and His wisdom.
The reality is that God asks so little of us in return for Christ’s crucifixion. He only asks that we share his truth. Yet, there are so many that will not because of the litany of excuses for being able to. The truth is, they can, but won’t.
They will know we are Christians by our love…a verse from a song many decades ago singing in prayer meetings. An anthem as you will, but a declaration made from Christ, anointed of God; our Lord in how we treat one another. As He answered when they tried to trap Him in His own words, but He responded, love thy Lord thy God with all thy heart, soul and mind and additionally spoke to love thy neighbor as thyself. DO NOT put my Lord into a position of trivially spoken about. TAKE NOT THE NAME OF THY LORD THY GOD IN VAIN.
Learned many years ago the reflected light is brightest; my mentor shared this: we want to insure we’re reflecting Christ(anointed of God)because sometimes we are the ONLY Bible that people see. Study to show thyself approved for publication.
How is you thought process? Philippians 4:8…grumbly and griping about things around that truly DON’T matter as much as we THINK or are you thinking about what is true, honest, just,pure, lovely, things of good report(not rumor or gossip)virtue. These are thoughts that are important. Truth leads the speech of a righteous man or woman.
Be if the same mindset of truth as all brothers and sisters. Be not as the label heads or self proclaimed, but be of truth, whole truth and nothing more than truth in speaking. Display the love given us each by God and share truth.
There are descriptions of the Word of God as our food source. Paul described new believers as being fed with milk and more mature believers as eating of the meat of His Word. Seek His nourishment and He will sustain you.
We must be guarded against rumors and gossip. Sharing and speaking only righteousness and truth. If you don’t KNOW, don’t speak. Ignorance and stupidity are NOT synonymous: ignorance is merely the lack of information, but stupidity is repeatedly going forward with no knowledge, information or truth. Guard against that; II Timothy 2:15…be not ashamed of the truth.
Jesus teaching on the Sermon on the Mount and His recitation of the Beatitudes; was not just how we should act, but rather how we should BE. This walk is not a role that we shrug off at the end of our Sunday or the end of the day. We do these things because it is WHO WE ARE! We do them because my Christ is thus. I want to be like HIM.
There are those that claim to be Christian, but n reality are no more of Christ than a heap of coal or dirt. In Luke we are given authority and as true believers; we MUST in fact that faith and walk NOT by sight.
The letter Paul wrote to the Colossians is a powerful illustration of who and what Jesus my Lord, my savior, redeemer, shepherd and rescuer is and will always be.
Jesus came for OUR salvation. God did not ordain His coming for a particular race, skin tone…Jesus came as a sacrificial lamb for ANYONE that believes in the truth, having faith and believing that Jesus is the way, the truth and the life and light. Only ONE way. As Jesus declares…there is only one way and if you’re teachings do not include Christ; then flee to the truth and seek His way.
His truth and knowledge is the import. There are many that declare many ways to God our Father. That is false teaching and doctrine. Be not deceived nor swayed to divert from the truth. Follow the path of righteousness.
Are we intent on nourishment from above or from the horizontal plain?Drawing from mammon or from our Father, Hashem, Abba…Seek from above what only He can provide.
Are you too busy in YOUR agenda and second guessing Hashem? He is The Lord thy God and if He says something; don’t rewrite the script. He says what He means and as our Lord God does not need a rewrite. STOP practicing pharaceeism.
God tells us to be of good courage because He knows what’s coming and He knows that we cannot control our emotions. We like to believe we’re capable, but no we’re not. Don’t be confused by the withersoever thou goest. That’s NOT just a physical direction, but too an emotional. The highs, the lows and in between.
Be bold in faith and speaking truth. This does not mean to be confrontational with one that may not agree with you. It means to be strong enough to hold your tongue and not flail that “two edged sword” about. A good warrior knows when to draw the sword and when not to. As we are in a spiritual warfare; the Holy Spirit must guide.
Matthew 5 is a list of the beatitudes of Christ our Lord; Psalm 27:1, IITimothy 1:7 speak to fear. God does not mind our fear and knows we are; as long as we do not dwell there and be driven by fear. That is of the enemy.
Allow the guidance from the Holy Spirit and don’t try to control all; in doing that we offend so many. Forgetting one in pushing to remember something else. There is only ONE sovereign Lord. He is Hashem; thy Lord thy God.
Be like that lamp that has a clean lens and a full reservoir. God pours into us his blessings and we must have a clean lens to show out light. Keep the lens clean by studying HIS truth.
Psalm 22 David speaks to the crucifixion, Isaiah 53 speaks not prophetically, but as if witnessed. Jesus is NOT just in the New Testament, but the good news is throughout the Gospel of Abba Yahweh. Ahman!!
The word gospel means good news. The Gospel of Christ my King is not just in the New Testament. The Old Testament declares the Gospel of Christ all the way into Genesis 3:15.
There are a great many things that cause fright. God does not mind our fear, but he does not want us fearful. Being fearful drives our actions. Imagine if our actions were more faithful. Stop declaring, but what if? Instead declare boldly, EVEN IF…Hashem stands beside me. He is Adonai el roi; as declared by Hagar. He is Jehova Raah; as declared by David. The God who sees me and God my shepherd.
Coming as he way, truth and life. As the light to show the way to the father. We can only come to the father through Christ(anointed of God) the son.
The pouring out of God’s blessings on us. He will and does so daily. From God’s unending supply He pours out. The reservoir cannot be emptied nor the treasure be depleted. As He is for always…they too are for always.
Matthew 6:9-13; the prayer Jesus taught us…acknowledging God first, recognizing His holiness and His walking with me, us. ALWAYS.
Worship Hashem, your Lord thy God. There are many who idolize sports figures, musicians, actors and actresses. Won’t or don’t worship God. They will miss going to fellowship and worshiping God in order to see, hear or go to worship a false idol.
We become so caught up in that that the enemy pours out. We fret and allow disruption of our time with God. The quiet time. They that wait upon the lord…abide with Him and He will renew your strength. Do not be fooled by the white noise.
Seek His way, His truth and His love to show out to others. Through Jesus Christ we can come to God, finding truth and His Agape love.
Show out that thing we have been gifted of God. In showing it out, we are sharing His truth, knowledge and wisdom. Be mindful of one another. Kindness and compassion.
Remember that God “is a respecter of no man. “ He desires your heart and that character, not what you possess of the temporal. To Him, what you have or have not matters not at all, other than the character of your heart; which matters greatly.
God walks with us daily and through all things. He’s promised that to us, but the white noise of the enemy works at planting doubts and worry where it does not belong.
Sharing of His truth, knowledge and wisdom is the import. There will be those that in their self centeredness have decided we are not truthful. Do not forget; the Sanhedrin declared that and crucified Jesus. Their are those that are confounded by truth and will declare it as untrue because it doesn’t agree with their opinions. Speak boldly, truthfully and in righteousness.
Seek His truth, knowledge and wisdom. Be bold and courageous in righteousness; be upright. The Holy Spirit will guide us.
Walk with Him and the changes may be a challenge, but remember that we can face them by walking with Him and heeding the Holy Spirit
As the circumstances have become what they are in this country and the world: I remind you all that God is on the throne, is sovereign and with us always. He will NOT leave nor forsake you.
Satan along with his minions use fear and the spirit of confrontation always. Do not forget that the truth, knowledge and wisdom is ours always; we need but ask.
Elihu, though younger and waiting for the elders to speak: at his opportunity, he spoke with truth and wisdom because he spoke from God. Job’s so called friends were speaking opinions from their finite thinking. Accusing, belittling and NOT uplifting. His truth, knowledge and wisdom is all the validation I need. That of mammon is of naught.
It requires nothing for us to enter the house of God; to abide with Him and fellowship. There is no required entry fee and no ticket stub required. Isaiah 55
We need not be so driven by the white noise interference of the minions from Hell. We have been given authority and it necessitates that we claim it, declare it and in righteousness act on it;Luke 10:19.
The Word of God through his conduit Paul. Study the Word and seek His face to show ourselves approved. Not in validation of mammon, but validation of the ONLY thing that matters.
We are heirs and joint heirs of Christ the King and must be prepared to suffer the weight of our cross as he did. He went to the cross for my salvation, your salvation. Freely denying Himself the throne He occupied; to come and die that I may live. Thigh I may lose my life, I gain.
Sharing the Gospel of God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord and His only begotten Son. The savior of the world.
The truth and declaration is the only begotten Son of God in the Only thing we can do to be saved. Remember that we are saved by His grace and His way and NOT by anything we do other than confessing.
As with Job some were trying to be sympathetic and failing and urn the friend that was truly WITH him. Our true friend that is WITH us is Hashem the lord thy God. Omnipresent no matter where we go.
His word of knowledge, truth and wisdom. We must share it that way as I do. It IS HIS knowledge that is guided in me by the Holy Spirit and His grace. Remember, it is His grace that we are saved. We did nothing to gain it, we didn’t buy it and simply by declaring that Jesus IS the Son of God. It is not by ANYTHING that we do, other than confessing.
The reality of this plain of existence is broken, but this is only a residence and NOT OUR home. How is that possible? When traveling for business on a temporary trip; hotel stay? Is that your home or just residing there. I’m here to be about my Father’s business and residing here. Heaven is my home.
Be as our Lord Jesus in humbleness. Jesus never displayed arrogance or treated anyone unkindly. We must practice this and make this an attribute that others remember in wanting to know more about God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit.
Seeking to be in a personal relationship with Him always. Claiming the scriptures as a personal word from God is NOT heresy, not blasphemous; instead it is declaring that His personal invitation is accepted.
Gods desire is that we are in the spirit of His truth; we are sharing His truth and not as are many. Seeking filthy lucre. It is filthy because of the nature of its gain. Through lies and deceit.
We are told in the word of the times that are upon us. Be not afraid nor dismayed. Even unto death; passing from the physical to the eternal; he is with us. Fear not to tread the valley of the SHADOW of death.
When we walk; be aware of those things around us all the time. Being mindful of others and speak truth and life. Always aware that he tongue is like unto a two edged sword.
The gift of His righteousness and adorned with it to show out. Spreading the seeds to be nourished and nurtured by the Holy Spirit. We do not save, rather provide the word to draw others to salvation by the Holy Spirit through Christ our Lord.
As Isaiah spoke to the people in chapter 55 and we see in John and again in Matthew, speaking of our Lord, the Bread of Life, the Rock. He is with us always.
Hope in those this that are of this plain of existence is not real hope, but those true believers have a real hope in Jesus the anointed of God: Christ; the true bind that ties us to Abba Yahweh.
We must be bold and dare to stand up in righteousness and His truth. Enter the house of His treasure and dare to share.
One of my mentors in his teaching and influencing me through the immutable word of God with His truth; I share that we are to be that which we are in God’s family and in he body of Christ; the church.
Jesus spoke of the leaven of the Pharisees and Paul speaks again of the leaven in Galatians. This is the false teaching and doctrine of deceit. A little white lie IS a lie and truth is one of many pavers on our path.
Hearing with spiritual hearing, seeing with spiritual eyes and knowing that all is given of God for good to them that love the Lord…Hashem; Lord thy God.
Oh come all ye faithful; declare unto all nations and pray the healing of Rapha. He IS the Great Physician; can heal if we pray and lift up one voice.
In becoming more mindful of His presents; we can slip easily into arrogance and sidestep that which we should be…abiding with God. Don’t forget that without God there is nothing.
Is he validation you seek of God or mammon? His validation is the only one that matters; for if you seek not HIS truth and wisdom, his validation: you have your reward.
By staying in the Word and seeking His direction, His guidance and truth; our paths are set straight.
Prayers and supplication on entering His gates and worship in His courts. He is sovereign and He is our good, good father.
His promises are truth to His faithfulness. Wherever we go and not just directions, but too long n our emotions. Seek Him in all ways.
Hadn’t noticed before hand, but relevant and most important. Hunts painting: Light of the World has Jesus standing at a door and having just knocked or preparing to. There is no latch on the outside. Only can be opened from the inside.
We are made as God’s children and comparative vision is a dangerous and slippery slope to be on. Ultimately end up in self pity, self doubt and then dangerously questioning God’s authority. In Luke 10; Jesus tells us that he saw Satan fall as lightning. Instead, we call the Holy Spirit to come beside.
We must be prepared every day. Many label heads completely misunderstand; the warfare we face everyday is spiritual and not physical and yet waste precious energy on fighting in physicality; becoming wore out and not able to even engage spiritually.
No matter where we walk; walking in faith and declaration of authority given to us. Luke 10: 18-19.
Labels attached by those around; believing that they KNOW enough to attach them. Do they really? Do we allow that they remain affixed and begin living that way or detach and live in His way?
God’s authority and He is El Shaddai. All sufficient almighty God. Hashem, my Lord my God. Do not attempt to usurp His authority. Jesus telas us;” I saw Satan fall as lightning.” He tried to usurp God’s authority.
Our walk is of import that it is in truth and righteousness. His truth, His knowledge and wisdom. Do not practice phariseeism, as it is not His way, but your way.
His strength and not our own. Walk in His way and have not the countenance of shame or distress. The Lord came for us, we are redeemed by the blood of The Lamb. Returning as the Lion of Judah.
There is no such thing as self made anything. Lean NOT unto thine own understanding. Lean in and listen for the still small voice of Hashem.
Roaring about as a lion and declaration of things that are to draw attention and not truthful. Be bold upright and courageous in His truth and His righteousness; reflecting what He is and has established in us.
Be cautious in delivery of His word. It was from the beginning, it is the same now and will be into eternity.
He will guide us in His wat. Follow not after the wailings and overt productions of mammon. Listen for and hear with spiritual hearing; the still small voice of God.
When He knocks, open the door and invite Him in. He will enter, sit and sup with you. Abide with Him and He will with you, teaching and guiding; loving us always. Romans 8: 38-39.
Be a good gatekeeper and not as Korah and his followers. The authority given of God will be misunderstood by many and we must remember to worship in spirit and TRUTH. Jesus shared this with the woman at the well.
God is with us, in us and always will be; unless you buy the bill of goods Satan is putting out and his minions profess. Seek God’s way through the gospels of truth and follow.
Despite the white noise interference that Satan and his minions throw; we must have faith because the valley is NOT a canyon. Focus on truth, kindness and not the derisiveness that Satan prefers. If YOU are a true believer then you are an heir to the kingdom of heaven.
Who is this man? He is my Lord, Savior, Redeemer; my King. He is the Lion of Judah. Coming back for me.
He is the Ancient of Days; everlasting to everlasting; the author and finisher, the Alpha and Omega. The great provider and faith is the key.
Remember that His ways are higher, His thoughts are higher. His desire is that we WANT to spend time with Him and abiding in Him is our desire in our heart.
God the Father and walking with Him; guided by His Holy Spirit, holding onto me by His mighty right hand. The walk may not be easy, but the fortification of my faith is true.
Show His light in us to all that are in darkness. Draw them to the haven of truth, rest and peace
His love, His truth, His knowledge and wisdom. Not the white noise of accusations and derisiveness, but the truth of The Word of God.
Perspective is of import and the minions of hell and our enemy (Satan)attempt constantly to alter our perspective. Authority given to all TRUE believers; Luke 10:19…keeping in mind the ‘Bible Speak’. Analogies of minions of hell and Satan.
Elijah and Micah brought truth, but the kings’ perspective was that because it wasn’t what they wanted as good, but it was truth. They couldn’t deal with it. Are we not the same way? If it’s not what we WANT to hear, but still truth; we go to the lies and will believe them.
Our perspective must maintain the vision established by our Lord. Through His lens we see others as intended, but remember than seeking from mammon that that we should be seeking from God leaves an empty purse.
Perspectives are of import: as we may not see the better way of travel, reparation or just doing a thing. There are perspectives that God attempts to share through His Holy Spirit as on Hebron with Elijah. Listen for that still small voice.
Let us shine out that which God has put in us, not what Satan keeps trying to put in us. He who is in me is greater than he who is in the world.
Remember that he who is n the hearts and minds of true believers is GREATER than he who is in this world. Satan seeks to accuse, separate and destroy. Our Lord Jesus has given us authority ove not just the serpents and scorpions, but of the devil himself.
1 Peter tells us by the scripture written by Peter to those that are scattered due to persecution and the times; Peter tells us that we are sanctified by the blood of Christ; the anointed of God, Jesus. There will be suffering, but faith is paramount.
Philippians 4:6&7; Paul reminds us to be anxious for nothing. It gets us nowhere any sooner, but provides agitation and will take our peace IF we allow it.
That we are a peculiar(unique) people…sharing in truth and not holding in to lies, defamation and derisiveness. His truth and sharing with others, caring for others.
There are those that will twist the truth to fit their agenda. As Paul told Timothy in his letters, be strong, bold and upright in righteousness. That is a good thing unto God.
Is the Spirit of His love in you showing out? Don’t forget that there is a profound difference in showing off and showing out biblically. Show out to the world what God has wrought in you.
His word be our guide through this life. Showing out, not showing off. What is IN you. If His spirit is in you; show it out to be so. Romans 8:1-14.
When we attempt to direct our paths; the walk becomes confusing, we then become frustrated. The minions of he’ll try to have us to wallow in self pity and discouragement. That is NOT our walk.
The light of God’s love be in us to show out to others of His truth. Let us be a beacon to draw others to His Haven of Peace and His love in us.
One can only begin to imagine what it would be like if we indeed loved one another as the Bible teaches. How Edenic the world would be. Satan will do all he can to prevent that. The spiritual warfare is real.
The church is not just a gathering place as a social club. We are in fact a part of the body of Jesus Christ; the embodiment of the church: so too are we the church. Like minded in His truth, knowledge and His wisdom.
Sharing what must be His core value and our core strength. It helps us to be upright and steadfast in our walk. Never forget, the white noise is to cause us to stumble and fall, but rise up and in praise; keep on moving forward.
Not only the physical body to some, but more importantly; the spiritual core. If one is a true Christian, then the spiritual core must be strengthened. That may come by trial, but God is with us.
Walk not in the way of the self proclaimed, but walk instead of the truly righteous. The Holy Spirit will guide us.
His truth and love as He gives and not as we THINK it should be. John 13:34&35…..for they will know.
Taking time that is to so many: precious and not willing to share it and share with God. Taking that quiet place an d meditate on Him and His precepts. His rule of action and conduct. Yahweh Ahman!!
Are we doing what we are called to do? Are we sharing His word so others may choose to accept that God is truth and choose to be adopted into the family?
Knowing Him by our walking with Him. The Holy Spirit will guide our steps. Walk in faith and not by sight.
As Hagar called Him. My God who sees me. He is always awake and does not slumber; so that we may rest in peace. This has nothing to do with death, but rather to give a way out for the tumult of this world from our minds.
Stay in His truth, knowledge and wisdom. He is mighty to save and will deliver. Many CHOOSE to accept and believe lies and accept the white noise. Be bold, upright and courageous. In Him and His truth.
Creating His fine jewelry and pottery. He is the potter and we the clay. Reshaped and fired to finish. The metls melted to create fine jewelry.
We attempt to plan our days and God has allowed our minds to pre-plan, but are we planning for OUR controlling what we cannot foresee or do we pray through and the Holy Spirit to guide us?
Though the enemy is real and Satan exists; not as a caricature, but a live being. Too is the sovereignty and might of Hashem; my Lord God and His promise to be with me always.
Seek not the validation of mammon and not not those things to draw attention. If you do them for self and the attention from mammon, you have the reward you seek. Matthew 6&7.
We must walk in faith and not merely what we see going on in this plain of existence. God’s promised se to NEVER leave nor forsake us. In Deuteronomy, Joshua, Isaiah and in John; as declared by Jesus…we cannot be plucked from Him. He is our Good Shepherd.
Ephesians 3:8; God’s grace to share the good news of Christ Jesus my King of Kings and Lord of lords. Mighty is the Lord and angels sing His praise.
We are not judges, but disciples of His truth. His judgement is righteous and he is authority. Our authority given is to step on the serpents and scorpions and to rebuke the enemy, even Satan himself.
Don’t hide your light under a bushel. Be the beacon of truth and the guiding light to His haven of truth, life and restful peace.
Matthew; continuing in His Word and the growth of Jesus as teacher, healer, counselor, our Prince of Peace. Our vine and our root to the Kingdom of Heaven.
Studying the Word of God, prayer and setting time aside to be talking with God. Study to show ourselves approved of God. Sharing His truth to grow the family of God. Sow the good seed and He will nurture it.
I Kings and the story of Elijah in the obedience he gave to God’s Word. Though our finite thinking may lead us to wonder…do not attempt to figure out what God is doing. Walk in faith.
Sharing the Word and trusting in His truth; no matter what we may see or hear. Faith and trust in His peace. Remember that His peace is truth and not as found in mammon.
As I’ve shared before, speaking about the Word of God…I can get verbose. Just pause and save for later. Trying to accomplish all things instead of relaxing with God and giving reign to Him. Be anxious for nothing.
Throughout His Word we find that his promise to be with us is constantly fulfilled. Stay in His Word and don’t be duped by false teachings and narratives compelled by Satan. That white noise.
The stillness of the morning and any time that avails an opportunity to talk with God; we must take it. Start the day in prayer, end in prayer and through the day; be in prayer. Paul exhorts us to pray continually.
Matthew 6 is of immense gravity to us, but of import too is Matthew 6:24; as there are many fallen prey to that white noise; declaring it’s possible. The Truth tells us it is not. FalseEvidenceAppearingReal. Remember that fear is a liar.
Seek His Word in all things for He came to give life and give it more abundantly. Not to provide wealth, but abundant living and sharing that with others.
Seek His guidance and wisdom in ALL things. Try the spirit in all things. The Holy Spirit will guide you.
Each day is given by the grace of God. Acknowledge and have faith. God is with us in all we do.
Isaiah, Jeremiah and found in Paul’s writing we find the uplifting truth of waiting on the Lord. We are to edify and share His truth so the body of Christ is strengthened.
John 15&17 are declarations over us in His truth. Abide in Him; He in us and we in Him. We do not fit in to the ways of the world and should refrain from trying. The Holy Spirit guides our steps.
His passion in agape love for me and any that will hear, believe and have faith. Adopted into the family of God and become joint heirs in the kingdom of heaven.
He came for me and anyone else that would have the belief, desire of faith and wanting the Holy Spirit to guide.
The triunity of Father God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit that are with us always. The three cords that are bound as one strong rope fixed in heaven and our anchor in Christ Jesus.
1 Peter 2; We are a chosen and a peculiar people. Let us live up to that. Unique and set apart.
Following God’s will for us and not allowing condemnation from the enemy to keep us from that. Romans 8:1 is the perfect preamble to the letter of adoption into God’s family.
We are called to share the gospel; the good news of God our Father and Jesus Christ. The promises He’s made and the promises He does keep and will keep. He’s our good good Father. Not because He should be so, but because He is.
Fear is another name for Satan and he is the father of lies. FalseEvidenceAppearingReal. Be not afraid for our Lord God is with us always.
Do not fall prey to the words of mammon. His love for us and His validation is all that matters. He so loved us that Jesus came and sacrificed Himself; He loves us always.
The will of my Father be done. To be about my Father’s business and sharing the gospel of his truth. For everyone to have the opportunity for His salvation.
He was thinking about me…and you as well as any that would believe, have faith and follow the Holy Spirit.
The betrayal, arrest and ultimately our Lord’s crucifixion and the miraculous resurrection of my lord; as he promised.
A social media influencer or a soul influencer? What is the desire of your heart? Speaking to a camera, putting on a facade or speaking to hearts? Which are you about? Our heavenly Father’s business or your own?
Trust and our faith in God through Christ Jesus is in my heart and where I walk…you? Trust in Him and leaning not toward your will which is purely temporal.
The words from mammon are so often lies. Don’t be deceived, but instead we must seek guidance of the Holy Spirit. Jesus promised when He left another would be sent.
With so many things going on and the enemy driving harder against us: be anxious for nothing. The Lord is with us withersoever we go.
We are to be about our heavenly Father’s business as directed. Being saved in Jesus and because of HIS sacrifice and the grace of God are we saved. We share the gospel( good news) so that others may be as well.
All is not a perfect walk here, but faith in Abba Yahweh will make straight our walk. The Holy Spirit will guide us.
The word gospel comes from the Latin for good news. The response we have to the Gospel of Jesus Christ will determine our pace in our Christian walk.
Sharing of His truth and His ways. Don’t try to figure out the mystery of God with our finite understanding. His ways are higher, His thoughts are higher. Our finite mind cannot comprehend.
He does not ever leave. His truth and promises by the very nature of God’s character; unlike those of mammon are powerful and not shaken: it is Him.
We are disciples of Jesus and in the Word, when He speaks to them physically there, he speaks to us as well. We are disciples who are sent to be about our Father’s business. His truth, knowledge and wisdom.
Shared before that the empirical evidence of God’s love I cannot deny; He is infallible in His love for me and immutable in His love for me: for us. All of us because He is that which He says He is.
The good news of Jesus and His coming for me and anyone else that would believe. The way, the truth and the light. Let me share the light of truth. His truth and good news.
Prayer is the power of communication on a heavenly plain. God loves our prayers and savors them. Stand in the truth, pray continuously and have faith.
Remember, the tongue can wound deeply. You can speak truth or harsh unrighteousness. Seek the Holy Spirit to guide and God’s love to shine out.
All of life is not just so right. Embrace what is right and righteous; sharing the truth of the Gospel of Christ Jesus so that all may have an opportunity to salvation.
Practice meditating on His promises and do not be deceived or distracted by the white noise. Satan seeks to deceive, to separate and destroy. We have been given authority and is in His Word.
The Word of God tells us that being adopted as sons and daughters is a gift given freely. The light that is cast out into the darkness is too bright for some and darkness preferred. Step into that glorious light.
There are a number of scriptures calling us his adopted children and heirs with Jesus in the kingdom of heaven. God wants us there.
Coming from the House of Bread; the Bread of Life in Jesus and the Bread of Life the Bible. Interwoven as our Holy Trinity. Jesus is the Word and was from the beginning. Yeshua Ahman!!
Abiding with God in a relationship as our friend. He is with us in all things. Withersoever thou goest does not just mean point A to B. On the mountain of joy or the valley of sorrows; He is there.
We are told to share the Gospel and declare the truth of Gods Word. Remembering that good works to NOT gain our salvation, it is because OF our salvation that good works are dealt.
Being called to share the Gospel of God and of Jesus; anointed of God Christ. Let me share until my last breath of His majesty. Yeshua Ahman!!
Obedience to the will of God and His sovereignty and not our arrogance is vital. Pray into every situation, as God is with us. His promises are true, His words are true and HE IS TRUTH.
If you are going to talk the talk, insure you are walking the walk. Do not allow the pre planning that God allows us to see, interfere with our time to ABIDE with Him. His desire is a relationship with us.
Not as Satan would have us bound to what was and not forgiving, but binding us to God, Son and Holy Spirit. Satan wants to impair us in binding; God wants us freed. Our abiding in Him and Him in us is the tie that binds.
Be that peculiar man or woman you are meant to be. II Peter 2:9 Roll back the stone and run into his bright light
Are YOU one of God’s peculiar people or preferring to NOT stand out? Many refuse to do as we are told by NOT sharing the Gospel of truth because the validation of mammon is more important.
Jesus gave His so that we have ours. Not the temporal life, but that heavenly life to be eternally with our loved ones and God, Jesus with the Holy Spirit ought be the top of the list.
Stay in His Word; keep the faith and be in the reality of Jesus, anointed of God, Christ. Stay in prayer and exhort one another.
The way of light and staying in the rays of His light. Walking with guidance from the Holy Spirit; in faith and not by sight.
Entering His gates with thanksgiving and rejoice in the Lord. The joy of the Lord is strength. Remember too; the minions of Satan cannot rob from you, they can and will take from you if you present it and do not hold fast. Don’t give away what God has given you.
We see in the Word of God the many promises. Don’t just stand, but hold onto those and declare; yes Lord, yes Lord, yes Lord.
Seek God’s truth and knowledge through study of His Word. We have been given our guidebook: the Bible, a gift from our good, good Father. Abba Yahweh, Ancient of Days; Hashem your Lord thy God.
Stay in His Word; He will guide you, teach you in all manner of the walk in this world. His ways are higher and his thoughts are beyond our comprehension.
Lean in to hear the still small voice as He speaks. Seek His face and He will be with you.
The dry bones…when we allow ourselves to be distraught and fall down as a heap of bones; retreating into the tombs we have dug ourselves; not sharing the truth and knowledge of Abba Yahweh, Yeshua, Christ sent for us.
Through the lens of Christ Jesus and as we walk in this world; practice using that lens. Sharing before of what had become cliché; What Would Jesus Do? Exactly the lens we should be looking through.
The Word is filled with His promises. Standing on them and holding fast to them is as Jesus taught; building the house on a rock and firm foundation. Scripture tells us that Jesus is our Rock.
Empirical evidence that Abba Yahweh with His infallible truth and immutable character. Forever and ever he will be honored and glorified.
As is the Holy Trinity interwoven as one, yet the Father, Son and Holy Ghost can be independent. Seek His truth and keep the faith. Seek truth, knowledge and wisdom it is found. Seek offense and it can be as well. What is your heart seeking?
Learning to wait upon the Lord. He will renew, lift up and never sleeps or slumbers in keeping us anchored. Hold fast the anchor to heaven.
Forgiving sometimes takes courage and faith because we are not willing or able on our own. The Holy Spirit will guide.
Why do so many seek validation from mammon? The ‘white noise’ is getting you to believe that it is of value. The reality is that it is not and God’s validation is ALL that matters.
Don’t forget that God, Abba has promised that He will NEVER leave nor forsake us. If the seeming non-presence of God is disturbing; then get back into his word and prayer. Rebuke the ‘white noise’ of the enemy.
Proverbs 3:5&6 speaks to the guidance of the Holy Spirit in our lives if we love God and follow His truth and Word. Faith in the Lord and His ways.
Always speak His truth and as long as you are righteous in your words, He will allow it. Validation comes from Abba Yahweh and not from mammon, as is their supposition. The ONLY validation that matters to me is from my Father.
Be bold in His business. Always truthful and being humble is important; not arrogant Or haughty with others.
Derisiveness; even in the house of God. Unlike the Hypocriwood vampires; the minions of Satan can cross the threshold of a church. They seek to cause sanctions, division, rumors and gossip. Resist the enemy and be bold, upright and of GOOD courage.
Getting caught up in valuation of mammon rather than validation from Abba Yahweh is definitely the wrong way. His validation is ALL that matters.
As John shares in John 12:42&43; the focus was for them on validation from mammon and not that from God. Totally setting aside His sovereignty. Be stronger and braver. Like Daniel, Hannania, Misiel and Anzariah. Bold in the truth.
Worry causes stress, headaches and for some; health issues that manifest. As Jesus taught, how by worrying can ANYTHING be changed, but by prayer it can be.
Voices, turmoil is all around us, but God, Jesus is sovereign and Lord of all. He hears our prayers.
Sharing the blessings that God bestows only increases them from Him to me. How God works. Not for what I can get for doing, but rather what he bestows and so many times without being aware: simply by sharing His truth, knowledge and wisdom.
John 11, Hebrews 11:1. Evidence and substance; not able to see, yet believing, not tangible, yet believing. Joh. 11 speaks to both faith and the lack of it. Jesus groaned for the lack of it and did because of it in Mary and Martha.
Being humble, but bold in coming before God. Supplications are HUMBLE prayers. We are to pray for one another, not judging for who is deserving of the prayers that God tells us to pray.
The start of this is in Bethlehem and the story comes back to Bethlehem. Jesus is born in Bethlehem, but the story does not end there; the story continues to unfold.
Look for the evidence of truth. The Holy Spirit will guide us and deliver that truth. Lean in and listen. It’s beyond the wind, earthquake, fire and other tumultuous activities in our world. A still small voice.
Through the tumult as when God told Elijah to go out on the mountain: we too are in the midst of many things. Lean in and listen to the voice of God.
Being bold and upright does not mean having to be confrontational. Stand upright in His truth; DO NOT step aside and apologize for God’s truth and do not be confrontational by putting hands on anyone in dispute. Honesty and His truth.
If one seeks offense it will surely be found. Truth and righteousness can also be found, but mammon seem to have a more difficult time finding that. The light of the Holy Spirit can help.
In all that we do; remember to keep Jesus, God and Spirit focal. Thankful for any trials as God promises to never leave nor forsake.
As opposed to Satan’s NOT omnipresent, omnipotent or omniscient; hence his minions or demons, the serpents and scorpions that Jesus spoke about: God IS all of those. He IS our good Father.
Hearing that still small voice requires at times for us to lean in; perhaps even ask: What did you say Father? Listen for Him or the Holy Spirit from Him.
Jesus Christ the light of this world. He came to shed that light, to give us that light. We need to be about our Father’s business. Sharing His gospel and the good news of Jesus my Lord. Shed the light.
Psalm 23 is speaking to many things in one. Our good shepherd, physical death, guiding and protecting as well as our resting and recovery. Our good shepherd does not sleep or slumber.
Pray for this nation and all as we are told to do in His word. Remember that ideology does NOT make or mean the PERSON. They are not synonymous and we are to pray for all.
The truth and evidence of God’s unconditional love as penned in John 3:16, played out in Luke 23:34; too as penned by Paul in I Corinthians 13; in some translations the word charity is used. This is unconditional love and not charity as is used by mammon.
The prophet Hosea speaks to the nature of mammon to put trust in self and mighty men; heroes, instead of God. John 10:26-28. Instead, hold fast to the promise from Jesus Christ. Know His voice and know that we are His.
Express through actions the reflection of God in us. Humbly approaching all we say or do because of Immanuel. Abba Yahweh Ahman!! Yeshua Ahman!! Paracletos Ahman!!
God is faithful and His promises are not idly made. They are truth for He is truth. Remember to walk in faith and not by sight. Resist the white noise of the enemy. Resist the devil in Jesus and he will flee from you.
Abiding is more than just hanging out with someone. It is a relationship and communing WITH them. God desires that from us; abiding with Him and He with and in us.
Seeking to be offended or seeking God always. Seeking offense and you will surely find it. Our walk is not easy, but faith in God and His righteousness will bring us through the storms.
Though we would like it to be in our timing and everything our way; we must remember that waiting allows our strength to renew, we fly like eagles and don’t faint. Hashem is my refuge. Old God is my strength in my weakness.
Father, Son and Holy Ghost are the parts of an intertwined golden rope of hope. It leads to heaven and is provided through the hope of Christ Jesus. Hebrews 11; FAITH is the substance and the evidence. The mantra…I will, I do, let’s go!! I will follow Jesus, I do have FAITH in God and Holy Spirit let’s go. Guide my steps. Proverbs 3: 5&6
Keeping God in all things we do; not as second fiddle, but first in recognition of His sovereignty and His power. Without Him we are truly nothing.
So many choices it seems. Reality is that many are simply the white noise of the enemy. So, do we CHOOSE to walk in faith or CHOOSE to walk in darkness and lies of the enemy. Walking in self centeredness and God being second fiddle or walking with Him centered?
His shadow over us to bring peace into our hearts. In all the turmoil He stays by my side. Do not heed the white noise of Satan and his minions.
All knowing, always present and all powerful. These are God my Father; yet he desires a relationship with his creation. Do you listen to the white noise or harken to the Word of God?
Do you seek God in all ways or a half hearted effort? God looks upon us to see who is seeking and who is simply going through the motions. Seek Him in The Word, prayer and worship. Seek ye first the kingdom of God and all his righteousness….
Walking in His truth, His light and His guidance. We get caught up in what WE see, hear or are told…the white noise of the enemy.
The Word tells us repeatedly that God seeks a relationship with us; as we should be and must be doing with Him as well. John 15. We must strive to be a part of the vine and as the trees Jesus speaks of.
Throughout His Word; God reminds us of the import of mindset. Christ Jesus reminds us; Mark 12: 29-31…mindset. Paul reminds us to be of likemindedness in righteousness.
God is with us always. Reflect that knowledge in His truth. Don’t just claim a label, but believe, share and remember: I will, I do, let’s go!
Walking in faith and trusting the Lord God almighty. Trusting in Jesus our Savior; He is the way, The truth and the life. Trust in the Holy Spirit to guide my steps.
There are several passages in the New Testament that remind us of God’s timing. Jesus is speaking and the elders sought to lay hands on him, but His time had not yet come. God’s timing is all, but how we bide that time is that nature we nurture.
The Holy Spirit will speak and guide. Lean in to hear and lean not to your own understanding.
Keep focused on God and His presence, not listening and heeding that white noise from the enemy. Open up and let God….
This is a reminder that if we are TRUE Christians and not just grabbing a label; that walking out in faith is primary and most important. The Holy Spirit will guide us.
Center he Lord and do not allow the interference of the enemy to influence our actions or reactions. Rejoice in this day as it was made by Abba Yahweh and He is sovereign.
The character of one’s heart leads to what one seeks. Truth, knowledge and wisdom of Abba Yahweh or seek to be offended.
Seeking the path of truth and righteousness according to His Word and he Holy Spirit. Prober so 3:5&6.
The calling is by God and by His grace do we continue. We are not done until He says so.
God is at respecter of NO man or woman by possessions or their suppositions, but by the character of the heart only. Caring not for what you have or don’t have
Remembering that walking in faith WITH God…when he opens the way, none can shut and what he shuts, none can open. It is by His will.
I Peter 2:9; we ARE a peculiar people by our declaration: I will follow Christ Jesus, I do want that faith in Abba Yahweh, I will let the Holy Spirit guide my steps. Practicing to show myself approved.
Seeing God in all that is around us is a difficult thing at times, but we must practice thankfulness. Yes, it does take practice because we usually are only thankful for what we get that is visibly good. God’s way is deeper and better.
To look around and see, hear and take in his majesty. Walking in faith of God our Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ our savior, Holy Spirit our guide, and teacher.
He>I…II Corinthians 5:5-8…we must walk by faith and not by sight; for if we walk by sight, we fail and will become readily discouraged and throw up our hands, become dismayed…then just give up.
So many follow the old adage and many so called Christians follow it as well. Do not forget, the Word of God tells us that we walk by FAITH and not by sight. There were those that left the walk because Jesus left this plain and they could no longer see Him.
Keep focused on God and the dreams God centered. Wether big or small; God centered and motivated to His end and not your own.
When asked of Jesus by the disciples; Lord teach us to pray. He told them that first acknowledge His sovereignty as God, then acknowledging Hiss will to be done.
I will, I do, let’s go! I will follow Jesus, I do have faith, guide my steps Holy Spirit; whatever the way.
No matter what is going on around us, no matter the circumstances, have faith, be bold and be of good courage. Joshua 1:9, Isaiah 41:10, Luke 21. By the words of Christ our Lord to us.
A change of environment may be necessary in our walks. That environment could be as simple as departing the company we had been keeping or an actual relocation. Do so in prayer and faith.
Sharing the spirit of righteousness and being bold in His truth. Sharing His truth, knowledge and wisdom bestowed. The Gospel of Christ; anointed of God, my Lord and savior Jesus.
Be all in with faith; as it was with Enoch, Caleb and Joshua. Enoch n his faith did not see death, but God took him to heaven. Caleb and Joshua, unlike others of the time: all in with their faith.
Shake the scales from your eyes, open your ears to spiritual hearing. Hear His word, His truth and know of His majesty. Abba Yahweh; Father, Maker of All Things Made.
Not because it’s Christmas, but God is worthy of praise and glory. Abba Yahweh; the maker of ALL things made. Ahman!! HE is worthy; as is Yeshua and the Paracletos. Praise worthy.
Hebrews 11:1; it IS the substance and the evidence. Without faith, we ultimately fall away and not the dust from whence we came and perish.
Just exactly what would Jesus do? A question of self examination that we who truly believe should be asking always. This is not about the trivialized trinket, but about magnifying my Lord and my god.
Again, it’s about following Christ Jesus, having faith in God and the path the Holy Spirit; although may be long way around, a detour: it IS the road.
Stop trying to figure out what god meant, what he’s doing a particular thing for. Have FAITH that the detour is the road. The Holy Spirit will guide.
God is with us always and Jesus is in us to be our shining light as He was with us then, He is with us now. The light reflected from Him outwardly to guide to a haven of rest, safety and love.
The advent of Christ Jesus is the beginning of the greatest adventure of all time. To any that declare I will believe that Jesus is the only begotten Son, I do have faith in Yahweh and believe that the Paracletos guides my steps
The dance of the spirit in truth, freedom and knowledge of Christ Jesus our Lord and savior. He came for me and whosoever will believe, have faith and seek to be free.
Jesus Christ IS my firm foundation; as He should be for us all. The ingredient of faith helps us build our lighthouses to reflect His light.
The teachings of Christ Jesus and the truth from the Word. Keep in mind; John 1:1-5. In the beginning was the Word…John 1:14-16. These truths are of the Word of God.
Hebrews 11:1 is the substance; the catalyst of our hope in Christ my Lord. Sharing so that others can become a part of that truth.
As the Word in numerous places declares God IS love; the Gospel declares that Christ Jesus IS the truth in person. Not just telling about truth, not g the just showing the way and He is the bread of life.
Speak the truth and share His gospel. The good news of God our Father and that Christ Jesus came for me; as well as any that will listen, believe and declare. Be about our Father’s business, as you am about His business.
Looking inward to search your heart and give with grace and love to others. Do not betray the brethren, but uplift with love and prayers as we are told to do by the Word of God.
We are not to judge and claim authority that is not ours. As the Sanhedrin did with my Jesus, self proclaimed authority. The white noise of the enemy will allow the seeds of weeds to flourish.
His presence has been shown to me time and time again. I share this, not as MY continued strength, but by His presence, love and guidance. Lean in to His Word and hear Him guide and speak.
The little town where our Lord and King Jesus entered our world. Stepping down and sacra fixing for any that would believe.
The greatest gift and the relevance of His Word. Old to New Testament, ALL relevant and truth. Stay in His Word, seek after His truth.
We can not, with our finite understanding; ever figure out the mystery of God. This is why we must learn to walk in faith. It is not automatic and so much around us in mammon’s world draws away from that. Look to that which is higher.
The white noise the enemy transmits to draw attention and focus. Nothing is to trivial for God and he loves that we come to Him. He is Abba Yahweh. Father, Maker of All Things Made. He lives us so.
This is the one very simple thing that God asks of us. Yet, so many declare the difficulty and have a litany of excuses as to their inability. Moses tried that at the burning bush. Be bold and of good courage.
Be the light of a safe haven. As the lighthouse for sailors; guiding them to a safe haven. We reflect the light of Christ Jesus to guide those on the dark seas to a safe place for living waters and the bread of life. His Word and His promises.
We are the carriers of His word and being about our Father’s business is vital. Help others to realize that condemnation comes NOT from God; as some prevaricators and perverters of His Word teach.
He is indeed with us in all this. Practice the thought and placing that as part of your thought process. Not the ‘white noise’. That comes from the enemy and he takes great delight in interfering with my Father’s business.
Seeing the truth without the scales of lies, bent truths and white noise that cover our eyes: seek this truth and believe not the perversion and double speaking of mammon.
Be aware aware and at the same time cautious. Seeking his truth, knowledge and wisdom at all times. Blessings abound from His treasures.
The Holy Spirit will guide and teach; as was promised by Jesus. He told us that He was going and that He would seek the Comforter to be sent in His stead. Lean in to hear and shed the scales over your eyes.
The mutilation of the word of God: His truth is being maligned, diluted and polluted. Individuals that declare themselves as the only authority because of a scrap of paper that gives them a degree from mammon. THE authority is from God. Alpha, Omega, Author, Finisher, The Great I Am. Abba Yahweh! The Maker of ALL Things Made.
The Lion of Judah who will come again as He promised to do; began in humbly stepping off His throne and in his humble earthly lineage from Ruth to David and to Mary and Joseph his earthly parents.
Our thanks are offerings to God. As in the old ways of the sacrifice at the altars, our graffitied is our offering to Him and He honors those.
We are called for a specific purpose and that is His purpose. Not progressive reasoning. He is the same yesterday and always.
Remember that thanking God is praying to Him and we enter His gates with thanksgiving and praise.
We must practice this very thing and not stop practicing. The situations may not be to our liking, but God is with us, for us and His strength is in my weakness.
The Word of God is immutable; never changing, unfaltering and His truth. Great is Thy faithfulness.
Sharing His love, grace and mercy. Compassion for our brothers and sisters; praying for all.
What is the nature of your heart? We are to be about our Father’s business and sharing the Gospel of Christ Jesus. Tune out the ‘white noise’ of the enemy and lean in to hear the Word of God.
Beware the deceit of the enemy that desires the separation from God. Derisiveness in the body and around us in the world. Be of one mind and one way…HIS way in truth and in faith.
We are indeed connected by fait through grace; connected as children of God; heirs of the kingdom of heaven and joint heirs with Christ Jesus.
The mysterious God of the Bible is revealed to those that seek and believe. The truth is in that which is sought by those desiring it. Seek offense and it shall be found. Seek His face and truth and it will be revealed.
Share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with all who would listen. Be bold, truthful, upright and in righteousness. No confrontation, but love and truth.
Preach and share the Gospel of Jesus Christ as we are all called to do. We are called as the salt of the earth. Salt preserves, enhances and draws out. A multi-purpose and useful item. Let us preserve the Word, let us enhance His teaching let us draw out those to be saved.
Don’t try to project so far in advance the plans that YOU think are right. Remember…it’s a matter of perspective. Trust in Him and delight in His way.
Remember as Jesus told the scribe; Matthew 23:37; Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul and with all thy mind.
The blessing from Moses to Asher; encouraging him to seek God. Our provider. Isaiah reminds us that if we wait upon the Lord, not on our whims; going off at a run and not prepared…He will renew our strength.
God asks so little of us. Just believe in Jesus that he is indeed Christ(anointed of God) and faith in God. Abba Yahweh is truth and faithful. Great is His faithfulness.
The sharing of God’s love and His Word is paramount that it be done in truth. Do not share out of context and ALWAYS share truth. His truth, His knowledge and His wisdom. Remember too; always in love.
Mammon is so opinion oriented and they are the causation of so many issues in the middle of turmoil. Opinions are NOT facts and being at enmity because of opinion is contrary to God’s Word.
Seek His truth in all things, and share the light to draw as many to the haven of His hope as possible. We are called to that purpose, to be about our Father’s business.
Isaiah tells us that if we wait upon the Lord, He will renew our strength. He promises to be with us always. He IS as relevant today as He was then and will be. Alpha, Omega; First and last with me forever. Abba Yahweh Ahman!!
As dark and bleak as it may seem around us; there is hope. The Rock, which is Christ Jesus, our anchor and our hope. Hebrews 11:1-3.
Beware of the perverse, progressive teachers. Teaching falsehoods and deceiving many. Labels of denominations matter not if the truth is spoken from the Word of God. Seek truth and it will be found; seek offense and it too will be found.
In order for any light to work, one must turn it on. Whether in the gloominess of the outside world or in a dark house. Turn on the switch. The Gospel of Christ is the light to share.
There is so much happening around us. Remember that much of it is ‘white noise’ to distract and turn our focus. Be mindful of Yahweh: Maker of All Things Made and hear Him speaking.
We are to share the good news; the Gospel of Christ our Lord. We are to be about our Father’s business.
Despite all the things going on around us; the Gospel of Jesus Christ is the answer. Seek His truth and those things that are higher. Reflect His light, truth and love for each other.
The word gospel comes from the Latin. It simply means good news. In this dark and sometimes dismal place; let us shine the beacon of hope, truth and life. The Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Matthew testifies to Christ’s sermon on the Mount and His analogy to our being the salt. Salt preserves, enhances and yes, even brings out sweetness. His words are indeed relevant to what is happening around us today.
Jesus Christ came and in heavenly truth knowledge and wisdom; He cancelled cultural differences and derisiveness. Reading in John 8 we find just one example of Jesus cancelling the CULTURAL way. The woman at the well, another.
HIS truth and HIS word we must share. God asks so little of us and yet there are those that cry out too much. I can’t…I thank my Lord that he didn’t and still came for me…and anyone else that will believe.
Brothers and sisters, in the tumultuous society of today; we MUST learn to deal in grace and walk in the light, reflect HIS light. Seek His ways, truth and knowledge; not that of mammon.
We are given authority and in spite of all that is falling and failing in this plain of existence, we have a hope, an anchor and in this dry wilderness; we have an endless supply of thirst slacking water. Living water.
Some might get confused in that these are a similitude and are not the same thing. Put out the effort and in spite of the difficulties or the ‘white noise’; persist and steadfast walking in His truth and purpose.
Communion is about us being of one body, mind and spirit. No colors, no castes…just the character of God’s love.
Psalm 16:7&11; these words should be our words each day. Jesus’ prayer over us that he prayed in John 17. Read and see that we are the ones that believe through their word. Numbers 6:24-26.
Day by day God is with us. Remove I from the central point of the equation and replace self with God in the center. The day is His as He created it and has walked it. He is by our side.
Remember that Jesus Christ IS our friend and savior. John 15 is Christ speaking to his disciples and teaching on this. Speak truth, be upright in His righteousness.
The promises of God to be with us always, through all things. We must look up and reflect His light, His truth and not that of mammon.
Rejoice in the Lord and praise Him always. Seek His truth and not that of mammon. Tear down the partitions and share His love and His truth.
We must pray one for another: encouraging each other in the Word and sharing righteousness and His truth.
God is constantly with us and for us. He is walking this walk and He will not leave nor forsake us. Look to Him.
As Christ gave His disciples then: we are his disciples now and have, according to His Word; been given the same authority. Walk boldly and upright. Be of good courage.
As Paul wrote to the church at Philippi of faith. We too must hold onto our faith. Treat others as always more important than self. Share the Word, teach the Word and LOVE the Word. Maintain Spiritual Integrity.
God’s desire for us all: his children and creation to be unified in our belief in Christ and our faith in him.
Ephesians 2 is about the communion as much as is written in the other books of the Gospel. It is about unification through the blood of Jesus Christ and we are all brothers and sisters.
Jesus came to reconcile mammon to the Father through His sacrifice. Pull down the partitions of mammon and renew our mindset. Matthew 22:37…all thy heart, all thy soul and all thy mind.
Studying to be more Christ like, to return the savour to the “salt of the earth.” Return the strength to the term Christian.
Complaining of what goes on around us is not a good thing. It only makes more slippery the tenuous path we walk already.
Seek His Word and stay in His Word. Study to show thyself approved. Paul wrote the words to encourage for studying His truth. I speak the words to provoke seeking His truth.
The climb may be steep or the valley deep, but MY God sees me there. We must hold to the many truth and promises of God’s Word. Psalm 23.
Knowledge as we find spoken by Peter. II Peter speaks to knowledge as a building block. Stay in His word and His truth.
Doom and gloom is what many of the world and so called Christians use for various times. How is it at all doom and gloom when it’s God’s word, his truth and speaks of eternity with Him, Christ and our loved ones?!
Through the sacrifice of Christ Jesus; we are all given the opportunity to be reformed and reconciled to the truth. Becoming one in Him and heirs and joint heirs in the estate and kingdom of heaven.
The guidance of the Holy Spirit is promised and great is faithfulness. In all the turmoil and adversity that is in this world…He promises to be with us withersoever we go.
Sharing that Gospel: the Good News that Christ is Lord and God is our Father and sovereign.
Called to share the Gospel of Christ and of my Lord God. The good news of His love. His unfathomable love. Leaning to to our understanding.
Delivering and sharing the gospels. The Good News. From the Greek and Latin…good news. I am not ashamed to share them and thank you Father that Jesus came for me and whosoever will.
Don’t be part of the dilution and pollution of the salt; be part of the solution and shine the reflected light, drawing into a safe haven. Be about our Fathers business.
Trust and faith in God for His promise to be with us always. Stay engaged and seek him in ALL things.
Letting God’s love be in us and full engagement with Him and that love to be more than tinkling brass.
God loves us so much and Jesus Christ came for us all to establish a direct contact and allow for fully engaging with God.
Lean in and be not afraid. Hold tight to the promises of God. Pray for the leadership of not only this country, but for our brothers and sisters in this world.
God speaks to us in a still small voice. We need to lean in and listen. Keep the savor of the salt strong and useful, don’t allow it to become diluted and useless. Be bold, courageous and righteous.
Be active in His calling and purpose. Share His truth and the Gospel of Christ. Get out of your comfort zone and share His love, truth and light.
Believe that Christ IS the only begotten son of God, have faith in God and the leading of the Holy Spirit. Sanctified by grace through faith and not by ANYTHING of ourselves except to have that faith. Abba Yahweh Ahman!!
The attacks of the enemy can be subtle, but devastating. Stay in the Word for renewing of the mind and study to show thyself approved.
His truth and not the rambling of mammon. The pandering of lies and mongering of fear. God is sovereign. God says it, it’s the truth and I believe it. Period.
Paul reminds us that our walk is practicing, studying and resetting of the mind. The weakest point of attack. No matter one’s intellectual prowess. Our helmet of salvation is vital.
Renewing of our minds to be in the word of truth and righteousness; that is the import. What mammon may think is empty and fruitless.
The only surrender is to Lord God. The Maker of ALL things Made. Adonai, sovereign God.
The Word of Hod as His truth and speaks to the great mystery of God. Isaiah 55:8-13. His ways are so much higher than our finite minds can comprehend.
When we write the Word of God down, it is strengthened in our memories and etched on our hearts. Practice writing and it will lead to the communion with and personal encounter of our Shepherd.
Remembering and looking back is alright; as long as we’re not allowing bondage to come from that. Remember that God was, is and will be with us.
Remembering the God that is faithful and true. His love, grace and mercy given us freely. Get up and out of the comfort zone and share the Word of God.
In all things through faith our God is with us. He promises to be with us always and Christ declared he would be unto the end of the age.
We are told to pray one for another, but let us keep our pastors, elders and those that counsel with us; to be strong of good courage, upright and bold in His strength. Yahweh Ahman!!
Like the insurance company that speaks to the rock and its stability: Christ is our rock and our future is assured through Him. Don’t allow F.E.A.R. to drive action, reaction and hold onto the TRUTH.
The solid rock is my foundation and all other ground is sinking sand. Build your house upon the Word of God and serve Him in truth and righteousness.
Our Lord comes to us and WILL touch, heal and forgive. Adjust the mindset from loneliness to strength and joy in the Lord. Lt the joy of the Lord be your strength.
God IS the great recycler. He makes new the broken hearts, the wounded bodies. In Him, ALL things are made new.
Discipleship of the truth of God the Father, the Gospel of Jesus Christ. For whomever will hear and choose to follow. The opportunity to repent and for salvation.
He asks so little of us and yet, many would think it’s the end of their life. Get out of the comfort zone and get into the walk of faith.
Seeking His knowledge and wisdom is the most important thing. Don’t be distracted as is a tactic of the enemy.
Prioritize God in all things. Don’t allow things to take over that which is most important. Those things of this world are temporal; fading, rusting and failing. God is always faithful and never fails.
Seek ye FIRST the kingdom of God…Seek His truth and share His knowledge and wisdom. The gospel of God the Father and Christ Jesus. Follow guidance of the Holy Spirit.
Brothers and sisters, seek Him in all things, His truth and claim the authority that is given us by the Lord.
Mending the broken, the hurting and the wounds. Making things new. In repentance making me/us new; to walk in the light, not in the dark. Abba Yahweh Ahman!! Yeshua Ahman!! Paracletos Ahman!! Praise worthy.
The promises of God and our Lord Jesus; to be with us. The love of God can never be separated from us and He will find you no matter where.
Seeking the truth always in His word. They that seek offense will be able to find it and do so readily in this world. Be reflective of His light, share His truth. Remember that someone will be offended, but be righteous in the sharing.
We are told throughout the word that God IS love. Not that God loves us not because of what we do, but because He IS love.
In God’s grace and mercies; renewed morning by morning, we can see His faithfulness and love. Have spiritual hearing and sight I pray. Not as the Pharisees and they could not understand.
God’s free gift is an extravagant, expensive and an exclusive gift. One would ask how can that be? His Words tell us and provides the insight. With spiritual hearing and sight you can know.
His teaching and guidance draws us in. Lean in to hear His voice, open your spiritual eyes to see His majesty declared by all that is around us. Open your spiritual ears and listen to America the beautiful. Amber ‘waves’ of grain, purple mountains ‘majesty’. Even secular artists are declaring His majesty.
We are called to spread the Word of God and in the gospel of Jesus Christ His only begotten son. Be bold, strong of His guiding and righteous in delivery.
Be not afraid or dismayed. 1 John 4:16-21. The love from God, not because it’s right for Him to share, but because God IS love. He in me and I in Him; as we all are as faithful believers.
Stay in the Word brothers and sisters. Do not read only the pretty narratives, but all his Words. He will guide us by His Holy Spirit. Simply ask.
Praise athletes, actors and actresses and bands or musicians, but God only on special occasions. Is God your faith or your religion? There is a vast difference. Seek the truth.
Do not skim through the Bible picking and choosing what to read. This instruction manual authored by God is intended for that purpose. Failure to do so is a detriment and a stumbling point that the enemy delights in.
There is much turmoil going on around us. Be not afraid nor dismayed. Be of good courage and hold fast to the promises of God.
The coming of our Christ Jesus, His sacrifice for us all: His reining on high and His coming again. Yeshua Ahman!!The name above all names.
Matthew 24 is Christ’s exhortation to us in these days. Seek the truth of the Word of God and not of mammon.
Seek his face in all things. Don’t follow that wide path which is seemingly easy traveled. I choose instead the path less travelled and the Holy Spirit guides.
Pull on the rope and draw into the Word of God. Seek His truth, knowledge and wisdom. Stand on His promises and hold onto them. He is faithful and true. Yahweh Ahman!!
The enemy utilizes fear as a driving force for desired actions,reactions and for control. This is being played out by mammon in real time; here and now. Even so come Lord Jesus! Yeshua Ahman!!
The finite mindset of man cannot even begin to contrive what the statement means: peace that passeth all understanding, trouble even in for God SO loved the world. Seek Him and that peace can be found.
God comes with invitation to be in his love. His infinite love that is way beyond our comprehension. The enemy uses white noise and other forms of interference. Lean in and listen to God.
We are each made a robe of righteousness; so perfect and free to us all. The enemy wants us to give it up and be separated from our Father, Lord and Holy Spirit as well as our loved ones. DO NOT YIELD!
The children of Israel were a stubborn people. Are we too a stubborn people? Not willing to believe the detour IS the road? Don’t diminish God, but magnify Him; for he is worthy of all praise. Yahweh Ahman!!
God is indeed a great recycler. He restores what is broken and makes new those that have the old ways. Cleansing and polishing to make bright for chasing away the darkness.
Seek His word and truth. Look to Yahweh for knowledge and encouragement through His understanding. Seek His face always.
The Lord is our Rock; He is our strong tower. He will never leave us nor forsake us. This is His promise.
Seek truth from Him and His Word, not that of mammon. They seek only for self gratification and self glorification.
Pray the Holy Spirit guide our words, to be mindful of truth for the encouragement and edification of the brethren.
Worship our lord God, for He is worthy of all honor; he the maker of all things made. Blessed be the Lord.
Look into His word and be persuaded, that He is able to keep that which is committed unto Him against that day.
Don’t be caught up in happenings and that THEY determine happiness. The joy of the Lord be our strength. Be in prayer, worship and His Word of truth and guidance.
We must be mindful of God. In spiritual sight and hearing; we can see Him in all things.
The knowledge and wisdom of God is for us all. No matter what takes place; be thankfully praising God. Worship the Lord God Almighty.
The Bible is our armory that holds our swords(verses) that can counter anything the enemy casts. It reminds us of our armor, God’s promises and reminds us throughout of His Love.
Stay in the Word of God; resist the pull of the minions of the enemy. They would have you caught in the ebb tide; to be caught in the rip tide of discouragement and giving up. Fellowship and the flow of worship.
Study His word and commit it to your hearts, for it is a treasure. It tells of all that was, is and shall be. Remember to have spiritual eyes and ears; to seek His knowledge so too, it will be a treasure.
Trust the Lord and be thankful for His ways. Enter His courts with thanksgiving and praise.
God has us in His purpose; in the gap to guide and usher to the gate any and all that accept Jesus, have faith in God. That ALL would have an opportunity and not perish.
We are to love one another as God loves us. Jesus laid down his life as a sacrifice while we were yet sinners.
Walking and sharing the light of His Spirit. Receipt of His peace that passeth all understanding. It’s ours, we just need to seek after it. It’s in His word, His truth, His knowledge and wisdom.
Do not fall prey to the tactics of the enemy. We have been given authority and we walk in faith, not by sight. Put on the armor that God has created for us. It does no good if not worn.
We are called for the express purpose of sharing the Gospel of Christ Jesus and of God our Father and creator of all things. He it is who is sovereign and not mammon.
Satan takes great delight in derision and not only from one another, but in our considering ourselves unworthy; keeping us from prayer, the Word which is exactly where we need to be.
Proverbs 18:10 speaks to our strong tower and refuge in God. Acts 4:12 is the power of His name, Jesus.
Are we putting others above God? He who has made all things that are made? The Great I Am, the Ancient of Days and as the Word tells us, that we are to have no other god before Him. Be wary the influence of the enemy.
Not only studying the word, but meditating and being committed to the Word of God. Not putting ourselves above others, but committed to do righteousness for Christ’s sake according to His instruction.
All the turmoil that IS going on and that which we create is drawing our attention. Renew the mind and focus on God and his walk. Psalm 11:1, Psalm 13:5&6, Jeremiah 3:21&22. Seek the higher things of God: Philippians 4:7-9.
Standing on the promises of God and Christ Jesus. Not to be of a double tongue, mindful of the truth and righteousness for His name sake; not being led astray by the deceivers.
Brothers and sisters; instead of being offended, how about as Paul wrote to the church that n Philippi. Philippians 4:4-9
We must stand firmly with integrity: as Paul wrote to the church in Philippi. Philippians 1:27…our conversation(conduct) must declare the integrity of our citizenship in righteousness through Jesus Christ.
Jesus Christ is coming again and it’s promised in the Word of God. There too will be a reckoning, but faith in God and Christ our Lord and Savior is the import.
Our Lord Jesus came as that very thing. We must be in the truth, seek the truth and it will surely make you free.
Praise God, Yahweh Ahman!! He is our strong tower, our Good Shepherd. He is Elgibbor and Shammah. Omniscient, omnipotent and omnipresent. Hallelujah!!
Where is our value placed? In words and judgement of mammon or in our sovereign god? Be bold; stand firm and upright in His righteousness.
The second coming is of importance and it’s in the Word of God many times. Spoken of by prophets, Jesus himself and the angels told the disciples when they were watching Christ going upwards to heaven. Value this as God does.
No matter what may come, what is happening; God provides us an out. Seek him always: in the word and in prayer. Yahweh Ahman!!
Sharing the Word in righteous truth, faith and only truth. Offended by truth is a sad thing indeed. Stay in the Word and seek his truth in all things.
The Word of God is that truth that gives boldness in our walk. Don’t be distracted by all that goes on around us. Be steadfast in His truth, His walk. Yahweh Ahman!!
The enemy is real. Don’t be a victim of his strategy. Satan is a deceiver, divider and destroyer; any and as many as he can turn away from God, Jesus and heaven pleases him. Stay focused on God, His Word and truth.
Look around us with the spiritual eyes and ears. Hear the declaration of His majesty. Yahweh Ahman!! He is praise worthy indeed.
God is our strong tower and refuge in tumultuous times. Run to Him and fear nothing or no one. If God be for us; who or what could POSSIBLY stand against us? NO ONE AND NOTHING.
The Bible is as relevant today as when first penned. Those that seek rewriting it because it doesn’t fit their relevance or THEIR ideals. Self centered and not God centered.
I Kings 17-II Kings 2: the relating of Elijah. A prophet of God and in a culture very similar to what we are in today. We are called to spread the Word, be compassionate, kind and steadfast in truth and righteousness; as was He.
Seek Him in all things and His strength will be your strength. Don’t visualize with temporal sight and attempt to hear with earthly hearing. Have ears and eyes of the spiritual; lean in to hear and stop trying to figure it out. His truth, knowledge and wisdom is beyond comprehension.
Confirmation that points me the direction or tells me I’m doing it right. This world is NOT who we are. We are a royal priesthood. Declare the Word of God and Lord King Jesus Christ.
We are heirs and joint heirs with Christ Jesus of the heavenly estate of God our Father. He has called us by name and loves us so very much.
The name of the Lord and the power, authority that he has imparted. Praying and seek the Spirit in prayer. Rebuke the Accuser, Liar, Fear, the Devil. Just a few of his names. My God is sovereign.
Communion, association and being of one mind. A gathering people. Prayer and encouragement.
The character of heart reflects the name of Christ. Are you just a label or something more?
Several names throughout the Word of God that are known. Some well and some relatively unknown, but if import. There is one name above all names and that is Jesus Christ.
Hebrews 10:24&25, Hebrews 11:1-3: the faith that we are called upon to have and keep; so that we can and will do His will and purpose. Don’t be fearful, be faithful.
The signs and wonders that are around us. Miracles because they are not in the ‘natural’ order of things. The age of miracles is not dead.
We are to be a light in this darkness and in the world around us is the glory of God. Have spiritual ears to hear him; spiritual eyes to see Him in all things. Stand up and stand out.
Be ever watchful, in his word and doing His will. Walk in faith and not idly following false teachings, in faith and not by sight.
Hear and be in His Word. He can make all things new. Paul’s letter to the Colossians and the exhortation for the church body.
If you fall, get up, dust off and press onward: for we are upward bound. On our way to the higher plain than is heaven and share with all that would listen.
Godly confirmation from my goof good Father. Be still from the hustle and bustle to be with Him.
Lean on His strong arms, wait upon the Lord, stay in His Word and worship him in song. Remember always that the joy of the Lord is my strength.
As it is written; Philippians 4:4&5 rejoicing, thankful and no anxiety. TRUST in the sovereignty of Lord God almighty. Adonai, El Shaddai, Jehovah Jireh. He is all.
Do not count myself in higher esteem than anyone else. We are brothers and sisters all; the word is for ANYONE that will hear with the spiritual ear. All said in truth and righteousness.
Christ left His throne, His crown, His heaven with His Father to die for us. Why? John 3:16...so that we can have the opportunity to share that with THEM.
Rumors and gossip are mostly negative and harmful. We are to be beacons; to draw into a safe harbor and keep others away from the reefs or shoals which are the negative of this world. In it, but not of it.
There is so much derision that is being pushed into every fiber of our existence and people offended by so much. Be of good courage, bold and upright in His truth.
Be like the church in Philadelphia. That church was faithful to Christ and God and He promised them to be likewise with them. All relevant to the churches today.
Falsehoods and misdirection are in everyday life. Stay true to the Word and seek His way continually.
Remember that no matter what changes; God does not, He is with us, trust in Him, fear not, let him be our strength and He loves us.
We are in a spiritual warfare and must put on the full armor of God. He has provided it; we just need to put it on.
Seven letters to seven churches by Christ through John. Six of the churches both exhorted and admonished. One was not. Lend an ear.
He hears all our prayers and will rescue us. Jesus is called our savior. He came to save, redeem and rescue. Faith in His might.
Why do so many put their trust in mammon and have difficulty in putting it in God? Great is His faithfulness!!
The TRUTH is that demons do exist; they are real and we do not have to be fearful. The Lord my God is our shepherd.
Beware the false teachings and try The Spirit in all things. Hold onto the promises of God.
The thoughts that infiltrate our minds today; just like Saul, David and Solomon. The Armor of God: the FULL armor He has made for each of us.
Having faith in God almighty. Magnify his name and the authority WE have been given, by His only begotten son. Yashua Ahman!!
Great is His faithfulness and mighty is His name. Yahweh, the same yesterday, today and forever. No rewriting and no changing. Not one jot or tittle.
Look to the truth and as Paul exhorts; seek Him with all our minds, hearts and souls. Study to show ourselves approved of our Father. His validation is all that matters.
The perspective of the disciples writings. The Gospels from angles in that. Key point is faith. Faith in God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
God’s Word is the truth and the way. Study His Word, seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness.
Look to the author and finisher of all things. His truth, His knowledge and His wisdom. Holy is the Lord and mighty is His name.
Sharing the truth and in His Word is that truth. Our guide for life. God is with us wherever we go.
As David wrote in the Psalms and John wrote of Jesus’ speaking of the sheep and His voice and the authority of our Christ. Glory to God our sovereign.
Staying upright and true to the Word. Share and speak only in THAT truth. We can all be as Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael and Anzariah. Not stepping down, aside or into confrontation.
The higher love that is searched for, longed for. Seek and ye shall find. God will share.
Walking in righteousness and our purpose is the Gospel sharing. Walking the walk and talking the talk.
The letter of Paul to Thessalonian church and exhorting them to be in the word and pray over one another as well as in his letterforms Timothy; pray for the leaders.
From Mark and the sower of the word; parabolic speech and spiritual ears to hear. Seek His knowledge and wisdom: seek his higher love.
Be wise and don’t look to offense or for others allowing themselves to be offended draw us into confrontation.
John the Baptist identifying Jesus as the Lamb of God; Pharisees confusion and our having faith over fear instead of the other way around.
John wrote of both Jesus and of John the Baptist. Describing Jesus as the Light of the world. He is our light for our walk. We must study and practice to reflect that light in us; outward to see.
Jesus’ parabolic speech learned of His Father. See Me you see the Father; hear Me you hear the Father. Jesus reminded the Sanhedrin many times.
Jesus Christ does not portray a character; He does not pretend anything. He heals, He loves and He is the only begotten Son of God.
Walking with blinders on and denying truth does not mean it isn’t happening. Aware of the enemy, but focus on God.
We need to trust that God heads us in the direction we need to be going. May not be where we WANT to go, but God knows our needs.
Many words have double meanings. Looking at trees and taking the metaphorical use from the Word.
As Jesus Christ came to be the light; we too must, in our walk; be the light of the world.
Adding to magnifying God. Don’t diminish God by seeing oneself as the grasshopper in the land of giants.
LISTEN to lyrics and hear the voice of truth from the scriptures of God. Not just the best and sound, but the words.
The higher love that God bestowed on us when Jesus Christ came and sacrificed for us, to be saved and loved.
Nehemiah and his prayer to rebuild the wall; establish prayer for GOD’S way. Trust in him.
