obedience is a must.

Timothy 4:3-4"For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables." 

Father God, 

We See the world going into a dark mode. Disobedient to you, your Commandments and the laws of the land. Thank you for making it easy for us to follow your ways. 

Guide us so we conduct ourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of your Jesus.

So that whether we come or go,  that others hear we are standing firm in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of Your holy Gospel. 

You are our strength and refuge.

We give you thanks Lord. Let our light shine brightly for you. 

In Jesus Mighty Name Amen 🙏

Prayer Jews to know the Messiah

Heavenly God Father,

Thank You that You are a God who keeps His promises to all generations. 

Thank You for the nation of Israel, through Whom You chose to bring us Your Word, Your Truth, Your Wisdom and Your only begotten Son, Jesus. 

Lord, thank You that although we are faithless, You remain faithful. 

Thank You, that the promises that You gave to Your chosen people, Israel, will not and cannot be broken, for they are all yes and amen in Christ Jesus. 

 Father, although as a nation Israel has sinned and turned against You and Your Son, Jesus Christ, nevertheless You are faithful to fulfil all the promises that You made to their forefathers, to Abraham and his seed forever.

Guide and protect the nation of Israel, in a world that would seek to erase them off the face of the map and drive them into the seas, for You have promised to return to earth and to set up Your kingdom when that nation calls upon the name of the Lord JESUS, and cries out to Him.

 The Blessed is He Who comes in the name of the Lord. Father, I pray that You would guard and protect the nation of Israel, both individually and nationally and hasten the time when they look on Him Whom they have pierced, and repent of their sins.  Your Israel's refuge and fortress. 

In Jesus Mighty Name 

Amen.

it is finished

“What must I do to be saved?” 

According to the Word of God, 

the Bible, in the Book of Acts 16:31

Paul’s reply was really quite simple: “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved” Acts:16:31 

Now Paul  said nothing about baptism or candles, incense, church attendance, reforming one’s life, sacrifice or anything else being necessary or even helpful for salvation.

 From Genesis to Revelation, The Bible makes it clear that there is nothing a sinner can do, much less must do, to pay the infinite penalty required by God’s justice. 

All we can and need is to only believe in Christ, who paid the penalty in full.

“It is finished” Johnn:19:30

Nothing to it.  Faith.

May my desire for my life be conformed to Your desire for my life so that I may enjoy all the spiritual blessings that are mine in Christ Jesus. To You belong all power and majesty, dominion and praise, glory, honour, and blessing, forever and ever. 

In Jesus Mighty Name Amen 🙏

God of All Comfort,  Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort,  who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.

The Word of GOD IS SHARPER then a two edged sword

Father, 

You are the greater one, and You live in them. They have the Authority and the Ability

to resist whatever evil plan or strategy the enemy conjures up against them. No weapon formed

against them shall prosper. Your spirit leads and guides them every day by your guiding hand.

You keep them on a path that is protected and safe. There is nothing the enemy can throw against

them in which they cannot overcome through Christ. As they submit to you and resist the enemy,

he will flee every time. Please bring to the remembrance that they wrestle not against flesh

and blood. The battle is ultimately spiritual, and it's up to them to recognize this when life

gets tough. Holy Spirit, please remind them that when they feel the pressure rising,

they can cast their cares on you. In the wonderful and precious name of Jesus we pray. Amen.

Isaiah 54:17

No weapon formed against you shall prosper,

And every tongue which rises against you in judgment

You shall condemn.

This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord,

And their righteousness is from Me,”

Says the Lord.

worthy to be praised

Almighty God, 

I praise You for the authority of Your Word, which speaks to me of 

Our redemption, Our life as it should be lived. Filled with your peace and eternal life with You.  

No matter what the circumstances are, its easier  to worship you in the midst of blessings. Thank you Holy Spirit for nudging me to praise and worship you in the midst of the adversaries,  and turbulent seasons.

 Let my heart learn to sing songs of praise as did Philippi, Paul and Silas sang their song of praise at midnight to the accompaniment of the jailer’s whip. In a rat infested jail.  But when everything around me seems so dark. Give me Your grace to praise You, Lord Jesus. 

Acts 16:31 

They replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved, along with everyone in your household.”

In Jesus Name Amen 

with your help Lord

Almighty God, help me to live in such a way that when I tell others of Your existence, they will be drawn to acknowledge and receive You Lord. Teach me to completely open my heart to You that there will be no room for selfishness. Cleanse me, Lord, of all selfish thoughts and deeds. With Your help, Lord, I want to make the right decisions so that I may touch others with Your healing love.

In Jesus Mighty Name.  Amen 

James 4:10

Hunble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.

Being Still

Psalms 46:10

gods way are higher

God's ways are higher

 Isaiah 55:8-9

When something happens to us we try desperately to be strong.
Can't understand why things aren't going smoothly..
We look around and hear the messages the world tells us.
You can do it. You’re strong. You’ve got this!
When inside you feel like a failure, weak, struggling.

After all, aren’t we supposed to handle our lives?

Aren’t we supposed to be large and in charge?

NO. Not really. 

Unlike us. God is never sitting around thinking, 

“Oh, what should I do now?”

We are suppose to have Faith, and Trust in the Lord.

Some things don't work out because God has a bigger picture.

Because God’s ways are different than our ways.

Gods ways are much, much higher.

Makes more sense that we turn whatever we are worried about over to him.

His view is much clearer.  Plus God is sovereign. He knows everything.

He is infinite, immeasurable, unlimited, ALMIGHTY, mighty, Sovereign, and in control. 

 Turning over our uncertain situations to the one who is all-knowing is the only thing that will give you peace. You can know that God can handle anything that comes your way. Nothing is too big. God is the one who is large and in charge!

 And all he asks us to do is to believe that, have faith in Him.  

And then, to leave it in his capable hands.

God has this!
God can do it.
God is your strong tower.
With God all things are possible!
Ephesians 3:20  God is able to do immeasurably more in my life than I could ever imagine.  
Matthew 19:26  With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.

Isaiah 55:8-9.

For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. (Yahweh) “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. 

God knows best

God knows best

Psalm 84:11

For the Lord God is a sun and shield; The Lord will give grace and glory; No good thing will He withhold From those who walk uprightly.

~~~ Reflections ~~~
You may think you know what is good for you. Really only God truly knows.
You need to get to the point where you trust that God does know best.
Learning that if you do not get that dream job, car or house, or anything that you were desiring and praying for.  It is because God knows it would not be good for us. If you were to have it,  He would have answered that prayer with a yes. For He would not withhold any good thing from you. Remember that God knows not only the past or the present we are in, but he also knows what lies ahead. He has plans for your future.

God gives you direction and purpose by pointing you on a certain path. God ultimately directs your path.  God is good, and He can work all of the events of your life of outstanding achievements, to bring Him Glory. That is if you let Him. God is good. Everything He does is good and wonderful. God gives and offers is greater than what the devil offers, so shouldn’t your expectations come from God? God wants to do something outrageously wonderful in your life every moment of every day. But you have to be ready and expect it to happen.


Prayer

Thank you Lord for your grace and glory.
You are faithful even when we have been faithless. We thank You for Your word which gives us light and understanding. We thank You for giving us all things that pertain to life and godliness and for giving us all spiritual blessings.  We exalt You, Lord God, and we bless Your Name. We place our trust in you. Holy Spirit, help me to see the opportunities that the Father has placed before me.
In Jesus Christ Name Amen.

But First Look to GOD

~~~ verse of the day ~~~

2 Thessalonians 3:3
But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one.  

~~~ Reflections ~~~
But first Look to God! 
Hanging on to anxiety, bitterness, complaining, depression can consume you. These negative emotions that you carry around leaving you lacking energy, energy to bless others, enjoying life.  When you carry around your negative emotions, usually someone gets hurt. Dwelling on the negative emotions are from the evil one. If he can keep your mind troubled, you won't make time with the Lord. 

Even though you live in the midst of a brutal and perverse culture. Your thoughts and words don't have to go there. The Holy Spirit is your helper. Focus on the Lord, focus on praising the LORD.  A simple whisper of the name of Jesus can change your focus. 

God wants your light to shine brightly amongst others. Live a cheerful life, without complaining or division among yourselves. Look to God, for His is faithful, He will establish you and guard you from the evil one. For our God is energizing! He can get you out of your funk feelings. You don't have to be discouraged, throughout the day. Going about feeling sluggish, depressed. If only you would  Look to God.   

He will guide you so that you will desire and do what always pleases Him. For He is the One working in you. "Hashem",  the Lord  will continually revitalize you, implanting within you the passion to love, to do what pleases him.

 ~~~ Prayer ~~~
 Grant your grace Lord to be seen in all my words, actions, in all friendships, and in all relationships, in everyone who sees me or hears me. Guard my emotions, train my mind to be kind, not grumbling or complaining.  Lord guide my thoughts that they are pleasing to you. Remove all things that are discouraging me. Thank you Lord/  In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

Speaking with pleasant words

Pleasant words are like a honeycomb,
sweetness to the soul and health to the bones.
Proverbs+16:24

Img source unknown 

Reflections

Speaking words of encouragement and inspiration, empowering others to do what is good in sight of the Lord, shows your spiritual maturity in your faith, and will encourage others to grow in the spirit, that they might have hope. To be the very examples of Christ,  Yeshua. The Anointed One. 

Be patiently embracing those who are not fully developed in their faith, to help build them up spiritually. Using Gods instructions through the scriptures, that one may develop endurance and overflow in confidence in His promises. Growing to be Christ like-minded towards one another.
The verses that are in the scriptures are divinely placed by the Lord. To teach us how to live.
This verse shows the very character of our Lord, and how he would like for us to be.


Prayer
May the God of patience and comfort grant you to be like minded towards one another, according to Christ Jesus. May your words be pleasant as a honeycomb. Sweet to the soul, and bring healing to the bones. May you be with one mind and one mouth to glorify God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Romans 15:1-6
