Satan’s Little Season…

18 Nov

Revelation 20:3, “And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.“

Satan’s “little season” is a time after the millennial reign of Jesus, where the fallen angel will be loosed upon the world. The book of Revelations does not tell us just how long this season will last but that the evil one will continue to bring lies and death to humanity. This little season is something that we experience now in our own lives. A season of turmoil where it seems that the devil is successfully ruining everything in our lives, from marriages to work or the deaths of loved ones.

While we all experience harsh times from time to time in our walk with Christ, it’s important to stay faithful to our faith in Him. Jesus stated in John 16:33, “ These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”  

No matter the season or for however long, we as disciples need only to believe in the finished work of Jesus. Matthew 21:22, “And whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive,” Shalom

Scripture Study-Mark 10:46-52…

16 Sep

Scripture Study-Mark 10: verses 46 through 52, “Now they came to Jericho. As He went out of Jericho with His disciples and a great multitude, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the road begging. And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out and say, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” Then many warned him to be quiet; but he cried out all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”So Jesus stood still and commanded him to be called. Then they called the blind man, saying to him, “Be of good cheer. Rise, He is calling you.” And throwing aside his garment, he rose and came to Jesus. So Jesus answered and said to him, “What do you want Me to do for you?” The blind man said to Him, “Rabboni, that I may receive my sight.” Then Jesus said to him, “Go your way; your faith has made you well.” And immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus on the road.

Mark chapter 10, verses 46 through 52 is a testimony of faith and fervent persistent prayer, despite what others will say. The man Bartimaeus, although he was blind, was the only one who could truly see who Jesus Christ is. This same issue falls on the body of Christ, as in having the Holy Spirit we can recognize the divine nature of Christ, the power to forgive sin and be made whole. 

Persistence in prayer is another key. In a world where we look to men or politics to be the answer to our needs, we as believers know that Jesus and only Jesus is the way to escape hardship, heartache and the pain in this world. As in Matthew chapter 11  verses 28, all who are labor and heavy laden he will give them all rest, if we have the faith to believe. And lastly, to set aside the naysayers. 

Romans 16 verse 17, states “Now I urge you, brethren, note those who cause divisions and offenses, contrary to the doctrine which you learned, and avoid them.”  Never allow others to discourage your desire to seek and find YAH for needs or questions that you have. We are His children, and as with all children we need the guidance of our guardians in times of need, Shalom…

Scripture Study- Luke 17:5-6, “And the apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith.” So the Lord said, “If you have faith as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be pulled up by the roots and be planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you.”

5 Aug

Luke 17 verse 5 and 6 is a testimony that the little faith that we come to the Lord with is enough to work wonders. The Apostles asked Jesus for more when the faith they had already received was enough to uproot trees and move mountains (Mark 11:23).  We believe that it’s our Faith,  it’s really where that faith is placed, and that is in the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. 

Colossians 2:10 reads, “and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power.” Our faith isn’t measured by how big or small but rather on do we have faith? In that, we are granted access to all principality and power. Which covers all hardships (Psalm 34:19) health concerns (Matthew 4:23) finances (Philippians 4:19), Shalom…

Believing VS Obeying…

20 Jul

Matthew 7:21 through 23, “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’

In the world that we live in today it’s rare to find someone who doesn’t believe in YAH. Many say they know the Lord however, their lifestyle and actions say otherwise. One of the most important traits that we as Christians need to have on display is our obedience to the Holy scriptures. As Jesus proclaims in the above verses, many say that they know me but their actions prove otherwise. 

The great commission in Matthew 28:19 and 20 is,”Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”  Our obedience proves that we are purified and no longer partakers in sin made only possible by the Holy Spirit, but in bringing his kingdom to the Earth. The good nature that we live by is the true light that we share, to be a light unto the world, Shalo

His Word Endures…

13 Jun

1 Peter 1 verse 25, “But the word of the Lord endures forever.Now this is the word which by the gospel was preached to you.”

As time goes by we see many things change. Stores open and close, social climates come and go and people are born and pass on to be with the Lord. Throughout it all the Word of YAH remains. While the world around us is constantly changing, His word is steadfast and here for each generation. Promising redemption (Galatians 3 verse 13 ) that YAH loves us (John 3:16) that He will never forsake us (Hebrews 13:5 and 6). While things change, it’s comforting that YAH is and remains the same, for all in Jesus Christ. Shalom…

Scripture Study- Isaiah 49:25…

29 Apr

Isaiah 49 verse 25, “But thus says the Lord, “Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, And the prey of the terrible be delivered; For I will contend with him who contends with you, And I will save your children.”

Isaiah 49 verse 25, speaks of The Most High’s promise to intervene on the behalf of all Believers. Rescuing us from the grip of sin and death, as well as from the trouble of our oppressors. YAH declares that he will fight those who fight against us and save our children. This scripture speaks to the Lord’s commitment to deliver his people and children. The God that we believe in does more than sit in the heavenly realms but is active in our everyday lives. By faith we are protected in this world, knowing that in Jesus Christ we are safe and have security in His Holy Spirit, Shalom…

Faith, Will Always Produce Good Works…

7 Apr

James 2:24, “You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only.”

Faith in the cross of Jesus Christ will always manifest as works in the life of believers. Imagine having great and exciting news and not being overjoyed by what it means and not sharing with others. Knowing that our sins and inevitable triumph over death should reinvigorate our spirit each and everyday producing a positive outlook on life, giving to others and the sharing of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. These are the same great works that Jesus produced during his earthly ministry. Despite being hated, shunned and eventually crucified that in the end would triumph and be anointed by YAH. I urge everyone to produce great works in Christ, knowing that we too have been proven worthy by accepting his sacrifice! Shalom…

Scripture Study- Isaiah 46:10

9 Mar

Scripture Study- Isaiah 46:10, “Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things not yet done, saying, ‘My counsel shall stand, and I will accomplish all my purpose.”

Isaiah 46:10, speaks to the omnipresent presence of YAH in our life. In Jesus, we are given guidance by his Holy Spirit, (Romans 8:14: “For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.) walking with us through pain and struggle. No matter where we are at in our walk with the Most High, He knows and we should know at the end we will win, Shalom!

The Peace Of YAH…

2 Mar

Philippians 4:8-9, “Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.”

The Holy Bible defines earthly peace with first finding peace with YAH. Having a mindset that is focused on ethical truth, in honest nobility which attracts respect. This means being truthful and noble, bringing respect to our character and our love for Christ. In being just which is to rightly reward others. With purity we adhere to His divine holiness, lovely and of good report being praiseworthy. By renewing our minds daily and focusing on Christ and these measures the peace of the Most High will shine on all of us, Shalom…

He’s Praying For You, You’re Going To Win!

12 Feb

John 17:20-23, “I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word; that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me. And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one: I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me.”

In every trial I know that I will win, because Christ is praying for me! Strengthening my spirit and my walk in navigating this world. We may forget at times when asking for prayers from our loved ones, that the one who showed the greatest love of all, is praying as well. That doors are opened, knowledged is increased and healing is rendered and grace is given. Remember as we pray for our families and ourselves, Christ is saying a few on our behalf as well, Shalom…
