If There Is Only One God, Why Do So Many Religions Exist?

19 Jan

Romans 2:14-15, for when Gentiles, who do not have the law, by nature do the things in the law, these, although not having the law, are a law to themselves, who show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and between themselves their thoughts accusing or else excusing them.”

If YAH is the one true God, then why do so many  religions exist? This is a great question that non-believers have asked and can be answered in two parts. Ever since the fall of man and disconnection ftom YAH, we have been seeking to find Him again. We as human beings have a natural belief of a higher moral value placed in us by the Most High.

While outside of His presence, man will always lead himself further away.  By not knowing this source of moral value some create their own god whether it’s in religion, science or in mankind itself. We try to understand this world on the best available information to us. Not having a understanding of the one true God,  cultures hence created Him in order to understand the world.

The other part is the harding of our hearts and seeking our own way. Hebrews 3:12-13 reads, “Beware, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God; but exhort one another daily, while it is called “Today,” lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.” We having free will choose our own path which will always led to destruction.

The importance for every Christian is to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with everyone we are at liberty to. To bear witness to the one  true God in YAH and the significance of Jesus Christ death and resurrection. I pray we all can teach the Gospels in love so that they may repent and be made right in Jesus, 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.

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.

The Day Of The Lord…

5 Dec

1 Thessalonians 5:2-4, “For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night. For when they say, “Peace and safety!” then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape. But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief.”

The day of the Lord is described in the Bible as the end of this current Earth Age. When the wrath of YAH is revealed to the world. The beginning of these events will the rapture of the Church, the rise Anti-Christ and the release of demonic spirits upon the world (Revelation 16:14). During this time YAH’s judgment will be poured out as a final call for repentance on Israel and all others who have hardened their hearts by rejecting the Gospel of Jesus Christ. YAH’s sin atonement for mankind (Romans 5:10).

Though this will be a very troubling time, the end of this current Earth Age will bring in Christ’s Kingdom Age. Revelations 20:4 states, “And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was committed to them. Then I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God, who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands. And they lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. 

Are you ready for the Day of the Lord? I pray all will endure and repent of our sins and accept the Cross of Christ, Shalom…

Lawlessness…

28 Nov

2 Thessalonians 2:5-8, “Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things? And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his own time. For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way. And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming.”

The dictionary defines lawlessness as a state of disorder due to a disregard for the law. This disorder is Satan’s attempt to lead the world away from any regard for authority whether it’s law or religion. This is so to establish a perfect storm for the Antichrist to seize control of this world system. Lawlessness destroys a law, marriages, beliefs in Faith and the natural order of how the world functions in an attempt to replace it with a better alternative.

The modern decay of today’s society in regards to marriage, government, authority and Faith is only fulfilling Biblical prophecy. The Apostle Paul in 2 Thessalonians 2:5-8 stated once these things have been revealed then the Antichrist will be revealed, as a false messiah that will “fix” this broken system  but to no avail. The Lord Jesus Christ is the answer to fix this broken world, through repentance of sin, and acceptance of His sacrifice at the cross. As the world continues in disarray I pray that we all turn to the Cross of Christ as the true answer to lawlessness, Shalom…

Is Living In A Sinful World A Reason To Not Believe In God?

16 Nov

2 Timothy 3:1-5, “But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy,  without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God—  having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people.”

Many who have fallen away from the Faith or have never received the Holy Spirit will say, “With so much bad in the world, how can anyone believe in God?” My reply is that the Bible has always predicted troubling times, since the fall of man in the Garden of Eden. Human nature since then has only been exposing its sin and the need for salvation by accepting Jesus Christ as their Savior. We must not forget that even though God (YAH) is supreme the time has not yet come for sin and death to be fully put away (Revelation 21:4).

In these times we should not lose our Faith but be strengthened by it, knowing that the Lord has his hand on us. 1 Peter 5:6 states, “Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time.” We need to remain steadfast in this world being the example of Christ for hope of better times in the new Kingdom Age. Should we lose Faith in the face of evil? No, in knowing the scriptures recorded these circumstances and provided the answer to it in Jesus Christ, Shalom…

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 .

Alien or Demonic Entities…

15 Sep

A congressional hearing on the need for disclosure of the existence of U.F.Os recently went under the radar from major news channels. While world governments have been in contact with celestial beings I believe they are demonic in nature. The Bible states the last days will be that of Noah (Matthew 24:37:39). With mankind being totally subdued by sin but also reaping corruption from the Nephilim (Genesis 6). 

With so much to be worried about nowadays with the economy and healthcare, we need to be even more diligent to how the enemy is moving with His great deception, Matthew 24:24. I pray we all continue to stay loyal to the Most High and not to falter in the presence of lies and deceit, Shalom…
