We All Come Back from Trials and Tribulations.

13 Jun

1 Peter 5:10, “But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.”

One thing for certain the Bible tells us is that after every trial, we will make it back unto YAH’s glory. For every time we fall short the scripture says we will get back up, even better than before. This is the awesomeness of the Cross of Jesus Christ. The Lord died so grace and the power of the Holy Spirit can abound. 

No one will ever fall so far away from His presence, to where as if we repent He will not forgive us. Jeremiah 29 13-14 reads, “And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.And I will be found of you, saith the Lord: and I will turn away your captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations, and from all the places whither I have driven you, saith the Lord; and I will bring you again into the place whence I caused you to be carried away captive.

We all comeback from the trials of this world and even death, John 11:25 states “Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live.” No matter how low we may during our time here on Earth know that we have a Heavenly Father cheering for us to make it through. Giving us all the tools we need in the finished work of His son Jesus Christ, Shalom…

Jesus Wept…

28 May

John 11:35, “Jesus wept.”

Jesus weeping for the recently deceased Lazarus is a testimony to His humanity.  Not only sympathizing with his loved ones, but for the destruction sin has brought into this world. Death was never apart of YAH’s plan for this world and mankind. From the very beginning the Most High was a creator and life bringer. It wasn’t until sin entered in through original sin did this world and us begin to decay spiritually and physically.

Through Jesus sin has been done away with. While we still will age, become sick and pass away we have eternal life spiritually with Him. John 11:25, “Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live.” Jesus revealed that our death is like Lazarus mentioned in John 11:4, “When Jesus heard that, he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby.“

If we or our loved ones should pass away before the second coming it is not unto eternal death, as we will be with Him. Jesus empathizes with for us in our fallen state, giving us the grace to endure until the end when death is no more. 1 Corinthians 15:26-27, “The last enemy to be destroyed is death. For he “has put everything under his feet.” Now when it says that “everything” has been put under him, it is clear that this does not include God himself, who put everything under Christ.” Shalom.

Jesus Christ, The Glory of YAH Revealed…

24 May

Colossians 2:9-10, “ For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power.”

In Jesus Christ the fullness of the Most High has been fully revealed. In Christ the personification of YAH is revealed to be love. 1 John 4:7 reads, “

Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.” That love is then described in John 3:16 , “

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.“ Love is the driving force behind the Most High.

Out of love, Jesus was sent forth to reconcile a lost creation back unto its creator. Once we place our faith in the finished work of the cross, we receive forgiveness for our sins along with grace and mercy. That love gives us the authority to overcome the obstacles of this natural world. 1 Corinthians 13:7, Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.” Shalom..

The Need For Spiritual Water…

18 Apr

John 7:37-38, “On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.”

The human body can function no more than only 3 days without water. It is not a coincidence that Jesus compared the need for water to the need for the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the helper, who will teach us all things pertaining to Jesus Christ (John 14:26). 

The need to study and be around other believers especially in these trying times will strengthen our faith, improving our spiritual endurance. Drinking of the living water of Christ will ensure we are operating in the spirit 2 Peter1:5-8, 

But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your 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. For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.“

In order for fruit to grow, plants require water and that water provides the necessary energy for it to grow. Is your spirit thirsting for water? We all need to stay in His word so that we do not become barren, Shalom.

Can You Be A Christian And Not Believe  In The Crucifixion/Resurrection?

8 Apr

 1 Corinthians 15:14, “And if Christ is not risen, then our preaching is empty and your faith is also empty.“

I recently heard that if you remove the crucifixion and deity from Jesus, his story is more beneficial to win non believers to the faith. While the teachings of Christ are great to adhere to regards in how to treat every man and woman, unfortunately that alone will not save you.

While Jesus Christ was sent into this Earth to show everyone how to live for YAH, His main reason was to be the offering for our sins. Ephesians 5:2, “And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.“

The actions of Jesus speaks more for humanity. In removing the separation created by sin through Adam and Eve’s original sin. Romans 6:23 reads, “For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.“ The Lord bore that sin in His body on the cross. 1 Peter 2:24, “He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed.“

Living right is never a substitute for the Cross of Christ. As the cross is the only way to be justified in the eyes of YAH. The cross is cure for humanities infirmities with living justified is a byproduct of it, Shalom.

The Big Bang and The Resurrection, The Bible’s Two Great Miracles…

3 Mar

Genesis 1:3, “Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light.“

Outside of the resurrection of Jesus Christ the Big Bang is one of YAH’s most impressive miracles! The calling of the physical universe into existence from nothing. The Big Bang is astronomers way of explaining how this universe began from a single point and expanded out.

When you think of the idea, nothing can manifest into a physical form from nothing. Space, time, planets and gravity came into existence from nowhere to form perfect harmony for sustaining life. The individual creating the universe also must exist outside of it, as nothing is created from within if nothing existed first.

Once the world fell into sin from the fall, YAH once again said “Let their be light,” and sent Jesus into the world to save us all. John 8:12, “Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.” Born of a virgin, perfect in nature and without sin. 

Two miracles, one proven through the scriptures and recorded eyewitness accounts, the other through science and theory. Both pointing to a omnipotent divine creator, willing to invade time and space to create and save His creation, Shalom…

The Harmony of The Gospels…

25 Feb

The Harmony of The Gospels…

The Gospels of Jesus Christ each carry a unique look into the life of the Messiah. Beginning with Matthew which defines Jesus as YAH’s king. Recorded through the lineage (Matt chapter 1) of Mary to King David and then to Abraham, done to show His fulfillment of 2 Samuel 7 in scripture.

The Gospel of Mark presents Jesus as a humble servant. Mark 10:45 states, “For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.” This presents the idea that in order to be Christ like we too must be servants of the Most High, sacrificing who we are to reflect His goodness unto the world.

Luke presents Christ as the “Son of Man.” The genealogy recorded by Luke in chapter 3 follows Joseph bloodline and not Mary’s all the way back to Adam (Luke identifies Jesus as the son of Joseph through marriage law and not blood.) Jesus refers to himself by this title fulfilling Daniel 7. This title expresses his sovereignty in the Earth. The same sovereignty we had before the fall of man into sin, and stresses that in Christ we return back to that.

John’s Gospel proclaims Jesus Christ as YAH, the great I AM (Exodus 3:14). John records Jesus claim to the title many differs times (John 6:35, 41, 48, 51, Chp 8: 12, Chp 10:7,9, Chp 11:25, Chp 10:11,14, Chp 14:6, Chp 15:1,5.

The harmony of the four Gospels presents Jesus Christ as King, Servant, Man and God, Shalom…

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.

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.
