The Blood of the Lamb We are entering the season of Passover and Easter- the celebrations will soon begin! It is recorded in the Old Testament book of Exodus, that the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob heard the cries of His Hebrew children for deliverance from slavery. God raised up Moses and Aaron to go to the Egyptian Pharoah and demand, “let my people go”. To summarize the events, Pharoah resisted, but Lord Yahweh fought for His peoples’ freedom,…..
The greatest power is Love! God is Love! Yahweh’s powerful love sent His Son Jesus Christ, or some call Him Yeshua, to be the Messiah and Savior of the world. While walking the earth in flesh, the Son of Man revealed Truth, loved many, healed the sick, raised the dead, calmed the storm, chastised the religious, and became the most influential person in history! Yet, He humbled Himself and suffered, bled, and died for mankind’s sin, while defeating Satan in…..
“Take a careful look at my servant, my chosen one. I love him dearly and I find all my delight in him. I will breathe my Spirit upon him and he will decree justice to the nations. He will not quarrel or be found yelling in public. He won’t brush aside the bruised and broken. He will be gentle with the weak and feeble, until his victory releases justice. And the fame of his name will birth hope among the…..
God finds so much beauty in those who love Him! Jesus Christ gave His all for us- He bought and purchased us with His precious life’s blood that paid for our salvation.! Then with our hearts and souls surrendered to Him, the seed- gift of the Holy Spirit was planted within us. Then we became a temple for God’s presence to reside(1Corinth6:19-10). While we abide in Him and He abides in us (John15:4-9), we long to go deeper into Yeshua’s…..
The God Who Brings Contentment and Inner PeaceA seasoned, spiritually mature Paul said, “For I have learned how to be content in whatever state I am.” He had fought the good fight of faith, and was spiritually resting in the unconditional peace that a transforming relationship with Lord Yahweh creates. Inner peace and contentment are for those who persevere and press forward in faith, hope, and love through a lifetime of ups and downs on earth. Paul learned this valuable…..
Overcoming Negative Meditation It’s true and very simple, when we continually focus on what is wrong with people, circumstances, ourselves, etc., it is very easy to become a habitually negative complainer, without even realizing who we are becoming! The emotions of jealously, pride, fear, anger, and hurt are usually attached to the heart of a negative thinker. Please don’t misunderstand- there is a time we must look at the negative, in order to cast it onto the Lord through prayer…..
Jesus Christ spoke tenderly with His disciples, before giving Himself as a sacrifice for mankind’s sin on the cross at Calvary. This great sacrifice would open the door for His friends to enter into an eternal and intimate life-union with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Yeshua made this vitally important decree, “So, this is my command: Love each other deeply, as much as I have loved you. For the greatest love of all is a love that sacrifices all……
Everyday we live our lives in front of others! There will be times when people will be very pleased with what we do, say, and live! But there will be other times when people will not like, agree, appreciate or understand what we do, say, and live! The flesh-man naturally wants to be flattered, be agreed with, popular, the center of attention, and appreciated in order to elevate the ego with pride, and feelings of self-centered adoration, which may include…..
On Easter morning, we celebrate our risen Savior the Lord Jesus Christ! He is the Son of God, the Anointed One, the Messiah, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, and the King of Kings and Lord of Lords! All glory is due unto His beautiful Name! All Rise! Jesus the Christ humbled himself and left his throne in glory to become the ‘Son of Man’. Then, He entered the realm of this world as a helpless baby, born in…..
“I have loved you, [just] as the Father has loved Me; abide in My love [continue in His love with Me]. I have told you these things, that My joy and delight may be in you, and that your joy and gladness may be of full measure and complete and overflowing” (John 15:9, 11). True joy and gladness come from God, but many of us do not really know this experientially. We want gladness to be in our lives, yet…..
