Praying By The Blood of Jesus…

8 Aug

Revelation 12:11, “And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.”

All things were made possible by the Blood of Jesus Christ. While the Holy Bible is a wealth of knowledge on a host of topics and issues, the sacrifice of Christ is the most significant! The blood is the price paid for the wages of sin that no man or woman could ever pay.

We today as believers operate under this protection, from the trials and tribulations of this world. The Lord Jesus has died and paid the price for us to overcome this sinful world. I plead the blood of Jesus for protection over my finances, health, family, and job. In the the end the Blood of Jesus will even erase the touch of death. 

1 Corinthians 15:54, “So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: “Death is swallowed up in victory,” Shalom…

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…

Precept Upon Precept of His Word…

11 Jun

Isaiah 28:9-11, “Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts. For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little: For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people.”

To learn from the Most High means to be a scholar of His word. The Holy Bible is more than just stories and scriptures to be read but moreso studied for in depth meaning. Hebrews 4:12 defines the Lord’s word as living, as in sentient. Able to perceive your desires and meet your needs. In every sentence is a ministering spirit that will speak to you providing revelation, precept upon precept.


Healing scriptures (Isaiah 53:5) minister to you, once meditated on. Scriptures on anxiety (Proverbs 12:25) minister once read and meditated on. I pray that the sentient life of the holy scriptures impact your life and that we study line upon line and allow His will to be revealed to us, 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..

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.

Death Through Adam, Alive In Christ…

26 Mar

1 Corinthians 15:21-22 , “For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man. For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive.”

One absolute fact is that even though having extraordinary faith in Jesus, we all must die someday. This is due to death being the last thing to be defeated by Jesus at His second coming (1 Corinthians 15:26). 

Our earthly death unfortunately may come at any moment, while we are young or old. This is why the holy scriptures says to be ready to meet the Lord (Matt 24:44). Placing our faith in Jesus saves our soul and spirit but the corruptible body will perish.

Jesus Christ has saved us from a spiritual death, on His second coming those still leaving and dead will be raised incorruptible from death’s touch, Shalom…

The Credence Of The Eyewitness Accounts…

21 Mar

2 Peter 1:16, “For we did not follow cunningly devised fables when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of His majesty.”

The eye witness accounts of the risen Jesus Christ is one of the foundations of the Christian faith. Being born again and having faith in the Holy Bible is supported by key eye witness testimony.

 1 Corinthians 15:3-8, “For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures, and that He was seen by Cephas, then by the twelve. After that He was seen by over five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain to the present, but some have fallen asleep. After that He was seen by James, then by all the apostles. Then last of all He was seen by me also, as by one born out of due time.”

The crucifixion of Jesus happened between 28 to 33 AD. With the earliest written accounts documented being the Apostle Paul’s letters. The book of Galatians was transcribed 48 AD and First Thessalonians between 49-51, and the earliest Gospel of Mark written 70 or 80 AD. The earliest being Galatians which was written 20 to 25 years after the ressurection.

Paul after His born again experience (Acts 9) traveled and spoke with those who saw the risen Jesus. Documenting their accounts not only to strengthen His faith but unknowingly ours. Separating facts from mythology and into historical truth. While the Gospel accounts differentiate in all four books in small details (as can be expected as all witness may have seen different details from that day) they all claim that Jesus did die and was risen from the dead by YAH.

I look forward to when we as Believers can give our own testimony of seeing the risen Jesus after the second coming, Shalom…

Josephus

18 Mar

Josephus a Roman/Jewish historian between AD 37-AD 100, is an important extra-biblical individual to the Christian faith. Important due to the fact he documented that Jesus Christ lived and His existence is recorded outside of the Holy Bible. His two most famous works, The Jewish War and Antiquities of the Jews which accounts of key people, events and the Jewish way of life.
While I believe the Holy Bible should always be the main source of any account of Jesus Christ it’s always refreshing to hear about our Savior outside of the scriptures (see below), Shalom.

 Now, there was about this time Jesus, a wise man, if it be lawful to call him a man, for he was a doer of wonderful works-a teacher of such men as receive the truth with pleasure. He drew over to him both many of the Jews, and many of the Gentiles. He was [the] Christ; (64) and when Pilate, at the suggestion of the principal men amongst us, had condemned him to the cross, those that loved him at the first did not forsake him, for he appeared to them alive again the third day, as the divine prophets had foretold these and ten thousand other wonderful things concerning him; and the tribe of Christians, so named from him, are not extinct at this day.

The Antiquities of the Jews, Book 18, Chapter 3

The Great Requirement…

15 Feb

I often wonder how well I am stewarding the gifts of the Holy Spirit. As outlined in 1 Corinthians 12:4-10 they include wisdom, knowledge, faith, healings,miracles, prophecy, discerning of spirits, speaking in tongues and interpretating tongues, as well as being commissioned to spread the Gospel (Matthew 28:19-20.)

All of these gifts carry a heavy responsibility, in sharing with the unsaved world in hopes of winning more to Jesus Christ. Imagine being a paramedic or police officer and refusing to offer assistance to those in need. Spreading the Gospel needs to be looked at in the same way. As the world becomes more and more sinful and blasphemous we need to provide a alternative to worldliness. 

The Gospel of Jesus Christ shouldn’t be withheld from the world once we have received it. First in spreading the message of the cross, then sharing our gifts with the Church. The great requirement much like a first responder is to provide assistance to save lives, but even more so with the Gospel to save them spiritually, Shalom.
