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…

A Life In Jesus Matters…

22 Jan

Galatians 2:20, “I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.”

Imagine if Jesus Christ walked the Earth today? Imagine the healing, knowledge and spiritual revelation available to all those who made contact with him. Having a life submitted to YAH through Christ in essence is that. Being crucified with Christ and putting aside our own mindset so the Holy Spirit can guide us gives us the opportunity to act as his avatars in the natural world.

1 Corinthians 12:8-10,  To one there is given through the Spirit a message of wisdom, to another a message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit,  to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit, to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits,to another speaking in different kinds of tongues, and to still another the interpretation of tongues.

While operating in the Spirit blesses this world, a life in Christ matters most to the individual. In having being saved from sin and death, and the grace to share with others, Shalom…

Scripture Study- Proverbs 25:2

9 Jan

Proverbs 25:2, “It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, But the glory of kings is to search out a matter.”

Why would an omnipresent God conceal issues concerning his creation? Why is their glory for us in searching out these things? The answer for us is to walk by faith and not by sight. At times when hardships and uncertainty comes our way, the Lord wants us to totally rely on him and trust in his edification process. It’s not to hide the truth from us, but for us to place our trust totally in him.

Trusting in YAH builds up our faith, providing more revelation of who we are in him. Imagine being given the answers to all life’s problems without having to pray, fast and depend on the Holy Spirit to guide us. Our faith will never grow in the Most High. Remember the next time we meet with the unknown, look to the cross to search out the matter, Shalom.

Casting Your Pearls Before Swine…

7 Jan

Matthew 7:6, “Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces.”

Matthew 7 verse 6, speaks to believers not spending exhausting time sharing the Gospel with those who have hardened their hearts. At times, we try to persuade close friends or influential people to accept Christ when in their hearts they have already chosen not to. While we hope that everyone will come into the belief in our Lord Jesus Christ they never will due to their fortified unbelief.

We are only to try to share, but if met with opposing criticism to move on. Imagine spending an entire day trying to complete a single task when many more still remain. The same goes for the Gospel message. Matthew 9 verse 37 states, “ Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few.” What one person discards another will cherish. 

The Gospel message is for everyone, but we must be wise to whom we spend our time sharing it. We are only to share, and the Holy Spirit will draw them unto the cross of Jesus Christ, shalom

No Fear For The New Year…

29 Dec

Isaiah 41 verse 10, “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”

As we move closer to the new year, I will like to encourage every believer to be steadfast in the Faith. Even with the outlook of wars, economic failure and new world leadership, YAH is sovereign overall. The Lord has been with us in 2024 and will see us into 2025. We know that trying times are ahead of us as the scripture has told us.

2 Tim 3:1-5,”This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.”

Luke 21:28, comforts us to know that during troubling times to look up because our salvation draws near! This is only made by the grace of YAH given through Jesus Christ sacrifice. Paying the penalty for death us and allowing those who believe to escape death and sin. As the final days of 2024 wind down, know that the Lord has you! He’s already there interceding on our behalf, Shalom…

The World Is Yearning For Restoration…

26 Dec

Romans 8:19-21, “For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God. For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it in hope; because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.”

The world more and more each day is crying out for restoration. Romans 8:19-21 speaks about the fall of mankind and its eventual restoration. The bondage and corruption of the sin nature which brings about corruption and death will be defeated at the return of the Lord Jesus Christ. Each day when I hear about the sin and death in the world, only strengthens by belief in the Cross of Christ. As the time draws near the times are only displaying the need for a savior, however no man can is fit to meet the need of our spiritual nature.

Jesus, the son of the Most High. The perfect sinless sacrifice, and Lord of Lords will bring His glorious liberty at His second coming. Being ready by accepting Jesus Christ is key and daily Bible reading, observing the times. I pray we all are ready to put away this dying world and reign in the Kingdom Age soon to come, Shalom…

We Are Fighters Of The Faith…

25 Nov

1 Timothy 6:12,”Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.”

The Christian faith draws many similarities to the sport of boxing. Such as when first starting we are amateurs, not knowing all there is to know but striving to strengthen our faith to contend with the enemy. Much like each boxers training session in the gym perfecting their punches or for us in Church, learning more of Jesus Christ and perfecting our faith.

The day will also come when we will be required to utilize our faith or trainning in earthly trials. Please know that no matter the hardship, the Holy Spirit of YAH is in our corner guiding us through every round and ultimately to victory. Psalm 144:1 states, “Blessed be the Lord my strength which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight.”

While fighting is a direct result of this fallin world, the Lord has equipped us for battle.Though having to contend for the faith here on Earth, YAH promises a day when we can take our gloves off and only praise him. 2 Tim 4:7-8, “I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: henceforththere is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing,” Shalom…

Scripture Study- 1 Corinthians 15:55-57

8 Oct


1 Corinthians 15:55-57, “O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.”

1 Corinthians 15:55-57, has the Apostle Paul looking forward to the glory of the Lord Jesus Christ. “O death, where is thy sting,” is Paul proclaiming his and every Christian victory over death, through Jesus’ sacrifice. The Lord Jesus Christ is important to our victory over death because He has defeated it. John 11:25 states, “Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live,” meaning an earthly death is not final.

Jesus Christ the son of The Most High, lived a sinless life (1 Peter 2:22) and presented the only suitable sacrifice for the sin of mankind (Romans 6:23) which the law could not. After His death, burial and resurrection 2 Timothy 1:10 reads, “but has now been revealed by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who has abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel.”

1 Corinthians 15:55-57 is a proclamation to live boldly for Him. Even if we do die a natural death before His second coming, we still live with Him. John 14:19, “A little while longer and the world will see Me no more, but you will see Me. Because I live, you will live also,” Shalom…

Escape The World Now…

29 Sep

Luke 21:36, “Be always on the watch, and pray that you may be able to escape all that is about to happen, and that you may be able to stand before the Son of Man.”

Are you discerning the times? This is a constant need for all believers in Jesus Christ. While we are in the daily grind of working to provide a living for our families, be watchful. This world is on a steady economic, moral and spiritual decline. Each day more and more news of wars, civil unrest and crime is being reported with the worst still yet to come. Christ asks all of His followers to be mindful of the times and coming tribulations and find refuge at the cross.

No political official will bring peace but only one who is peace in our Lord Jesus Christ! Isaiah 9:6, “For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God,Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” Only through our faith in Him and sacrifice as the Son of YAH (John 3:16) can we escape this world and the clutches of sin and death.

Are you ready to escape this world? Then pray this out loud,”Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner, and I ask for Your forgiveness. I believe You died for my sins and rose from the dead. I turn from my sins and invite You to come into my heart and life. I want to trust and follow You as my Lord and Savior. In Your Name, Amen Shalom…

Satan’s Economy

19 Sep

Revelations 13:16-17, “And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.”

The waning world economy, food shortages and under paying jobs can be seen as a sign of the end times. This world’s economic system is run and maintained by the world’s elite driven by profit and greed. Manipulating or giving the perception of troublesome times. This is the same deception the Antichrist will do in order for millions of people to receive his mark in order to live (See “The Mysterious Mark of The Beast Revealed, under the “End Times Prophecy tab).

A bad economic system is not from YAH. Giving us everything that we need in Him, 2 Corinthians 9 verse 8 reads, “And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things,may have an abundance for every good work.” These hectic fluctuations in economic prosperity are a direct sign as to how Satan can control the population into receiving His false Christ.

I pray the Holy Spirit will guide us into prosperity so that we have the means to resist. Investing in inflation hedges (items that maintain value in hard economic times). Remember no matter the World’s system, Yah will always supply our needs (Philippians 4:19) Shalom
