In The Light, Darkness Will Flee…

1 Feb

John 8:12, “Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”

One of the most amazing things to know, is that Jesus Christ is the eternal light of the world and our Spirits. Though this light is spiritual it is symbolic of natural light. A comforting thing to know is that darkness can never overtake the light while light, will always overtake the darkness. 

This eternal light is the Gospel of Jesus Christ! This light overtakes the darkness found in our human bodies which is sin. Sin  creates a separation from us and YAH, and upon receiving Jesus as our Savior this light comes to live within us.

The light of the Gospels extinguishes all darkness which is why we are charged to spread it throughout the world Matthew 28:19-20. We are commissioned to bring this light to everyone, in doing so omitting the darkness in themselves and the world, Shalom.

Jesus Anointed At Bethany…

26 Jan

Mark 14:3-9, And being in Bethany at the house of Simon the leper, as He sat at the table, a woman came having an alabaster flask of very costly oil of spikenard. Then she broke the flask and poured it on His head. But there were some who were indignant among themselves, and said, “Why was this fragrant oil wasted? For it might have been sold for more than three hundred denarii and given to the poor.” And they criticized her sharply.
But Jesus said, “Let her alone. Why do you trouble her? She has done a good work for Me. For you have the poor with you always, and whenever you wish you may do them good; but Me you do not have always. She has done what she could. She has come beforehand to anoint My body for burial. Assuredly, I say to you, wherever this gospel is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be told as a memorial to her.”

The anointing at Bethany is a exceptional account of faith. Yet while Jesus was still alive a woman (Thought to be Mary, the sister of Lazarus) anointed His head for burial. Yet while some still did not believe the Messiah would be resurrected, this woman did and came to anoint Him as king. Believing and receiving Jesus as the sacrifice for her sins.

I ask what are you believing YAH for? In prayer, approach the Most High through Jesus Christ and receive His divine will for your life. This post is in remembrance of the woman who anointed Jesus at Bethany, Shalom…

Resist The Devil And He Will Flee For You…

15 Jan

James 4:7, “Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.”

All the time Satan is looking for the opportunity to terminate our relationship with YAH. The enemy is fine tuned into our sin nature and knows exactly what will cause us to fall (1 John 2:16-17). 

It is only through the rebuke of the enemy by way of our Faith in Jesus Christ. Submitting anger, lust, pride, jealousy. Galatians 1:4 reads “who gave Himself for our sins, that He might deliver us from this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father.”

Prayer and the submission to the will of YAH, is the only way to resist the enemy. Know that the Lord’s will is for us to move in faith, virtue, to virtue knowledge, to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love.

I pray that we all carry these attributes with us throughout our day, Shalom…

You’re More Than Enough In Christ…

5 Jan

1 Kings 19:4-8, “But he himself went a day’s journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a broom tree. And he prayed that he might die, and said, “It is enough! Now, Lord, take my life, for I am no better than my fathers!”

Then as he lay and slept under a broom tree, suddenly an angel touched him, and said to him, “Arise and eat.” Then he looked, and there by his head was a cake baked on coals, and a jar of water. So he ate and drank, and lay down again. And the angel of the Lord came back the second time, and touched him, and said, “Arise and eat, because the journey is too great for you.” So he arose, and ate and drank; and he went in the strength of that food forty days and forty nights as far as Horeb, the mountain of God.

At times me may feel that we are not fulfilling our purpose in Christ. Please know that the Holy Spirit is guiding our journey thought the highs and the lows, Romans 8:14. When tough times arise look to YAH in prayer and know that help is coming to you, the same as it did Elijah in 1 Kings 19:4-8, Shalom.

Look For The Lord Now…

2 Jan

Look For The Lord Now…Isaiah 55:6-7, “Seek the Lord while He may be found, Call upon Him while He is near. Let the wicked forsake his way, And the unrighteous man his thoughts; Let him return to the Lord, And He will have mercy on him; And to our God, For He will abundantly pardon.”


How much time is left for us to find the Lord? As we move about in our day to day lives we prioritize our duties as to what is important to the lest. For the majority work, school and errands take precedence but we need to assign prayer first thing when we awake. 

Thanking the Most High for all that He has done and is doing. Pray for continued edification in the spirit for ourselves and loved ones. Seek the Lord while he may be found, refers to our time here on Earth. No man or woman knows how much time we have left in the physical world before we are called up to Him, in death it is too late.

Are you ready to meet YAH if that time is now? I pray the Body of Christ continuously seeks His will and guidance from the Holy Spirit while He can be found, Shalom…

Is Your Faith Inline With Your Belief?

18 Dec

The word according is defined as the degree or proportion. Jesus in Matthew 9:29 said to the two blind men, according to your Faith or belief in me, let you receive your blessing. The pair were believing in Christ in not only being the Messiah but also as a healer. As we pray and navigate our way through this life we need to ask ourselves, “what are we believing YAH for,” and is my Faith matching what my belief is?

Is our Faith enough to have the Holy Spirit to begin a new work in Jesus us? John 16:14, states, “He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you.” James 1:17, “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.”Every good and perfect gift is awaiting those who believe and can receive it. Know that no good thing will YAH withhold from you and believe that the God that we serve will do just that, Salom.

Why did YAH need to become a man, to save man?

30 Oct

A question that may arise is why did an all powerful God need to become a man in order save mankind? I believe the answer to this question can be given in three parts, with one being that mankind has dominion on the Earth. YAH created and then gave us the power over all things in Genesis 1:26. If the Most High was to come to this physical realm, that power would be His by default as YAH. In short, He is a keeper of His word operating under the divine law that He has created with man in control even when in need of a Savior.

The second part to this answer is so that He could become sin for us. 2 Corinthians states, “For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.” This becoming sin for us takes the sin nature spiritually away from us and to the grave when Jesus Christ was sacrificed. By placing our Faith in the finished work of Christ we are thus dead to sin based on His sacrifice and resurrection. This also shows that in every struggle YAH knows what we are dealing with having been made man. We need only to pray to Him and ask for strength and endurance in our trials and know that we will make it through by way of the Cross of Christ.

Lastly the third part is so that He could physically die for our sins. Romans 6:23, “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” YAH is no liar, when sin entered the world death surely did follow. In order to save mankind, God (YAH) becoming man so that He could physically die for our sins is the best example of love given to us. So, why did He need to become a man? Number one because of our dominion in the Earth, to experience sin and then lastly to take that sin from us, Shalom…

Putting On The Fullness of Christ…

4 Oct

Romans 13:11-12, “And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand. Therefore let us cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light.

”Romans 13:11-12 speaks to the expedient need to accept the Lord Jesus Christ, especially now in this modern day. With the rising cost of living, crime, and lost hope in elected officials Jesus is our answer. As this Earth Age will soon usher in the coming Christ Kingdom Age, we need to put on all his fullness.

This fullness, is to be led by the Holy Spirit of YAH (2 Peter 1:3-8). By placing our Faith in Christ, we are given his protection from this sinful world. Not only protection but also discernment and knowledge as to what the enemy is planning. The Spirit will never leave us (John 16:13). During these times turn to the Most High for guidance and protection. Knowing that the fullness of YAH will see us through.

Proverbs 18:20, “The name of the Lord is a strong tower; The righteous run to it and are safe,” Shalom .

The Power of The Resurrection…

8 Sep

Philippians 3:10-11, “ that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death, if, by any means, I may attain to the resurrection from the dead.”

The power of Christ’s resurrection is a very important subject for every believer. In placing our faith in Jesus’ resurrection is to atone for our sins in being made holy in His death and resurrection. This is due to what is stated in 2 Corinthians 5:21, “For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.”

Jesus Christ took the sins of the world with Him to the cross, where He crucified it with him. The resurrection signifies YAH’s acceptance of his sacrifice by raising Jesus from the dead. This grants us power over sin while it still remains in everyone’s we have the  grace from its corruption and death. Understanding this will help everyone in their daily walk, through trials and tribulations knowing the power of the Cross, Shalom…

Scripture Study- 2 Timothy 1:7,”For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.”

1 Aug

2 Timothy 1:7, is a scripture of encouragement to all Christian’s. At times when we may doubt ourselves we must trust in YAH and not fear. Fear brings doubt and with doubt disbelief which is at odds with our Faith. Instead of fear replace this with the power of Faith, turning over this fear to YAH and move boldly knowing that He will always make a way (Proverbs 3:5-6). As long as we operate according to His will and move in love, our steps will be guided by the Holy Spirit (Romans 8:14). 

Knowing that the Cross of Christ has given us every blessing from the Most High, Ephesians 1:3, “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ.” Lastly a sound mind is needed on every journey especially during trials. Romans 12:2, “And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.”
