Why The World Needs Jesus…

16 Sep

John 3:17, “For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.”

While Christian believers know why they are in need of a savior for the remission of sin (Acts 2:38) and to escape death (Psalms 68 verse 20). The natural world we live in still thrives in a fallen state. A state of war, corruption, murder and crime. Jesus Christ is the cure for all its ailments. Even when there is peace in our lives somewhere, sin is operating in abundance. The current world system still operates under satanic persuasion bringing about sin and death.

While we cannot change the world overnight. Whenever and wherever we must be ready to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with the unsaved, letting the Holy Spirit work to change everyone from the perishable to the to the imperishable. 1 Corinthians 9:25, “And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.”

Saving nonbelievers from the corruption of the world, is a daunting task. However, we are backed by love and the precious blood of Jesus to do exactly just that, Shalom.

Scripture Study- Romans 5:8-9

11 Sep

Scripture Study- Romans 5:8-9, “ But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him.”

Romans 5:8-9 is a proclamation of the enduring love YAH has for His children. While we were dead in our sin, He sent Jesus to die for us. In essence, the Most High loved us even when we did’nt love ourselves. YAH looked past our sinful acts and saw the goodness in everyone, granting us grace and mercy.

In verse 9, the scripture tell us that even more love and blessings will come forth once we are redeemed by Jesus Christ. It’s a testimony to never give up on anyone, and trust that the blood of Christ can justify everyone, Shalom.

The Rebellious Spirit…

5 Sep

Isaiah 30:1, “Woe to the rebellious children,” says the Lord, “Who take counsel, but not of Me,And who devise plans, but not of My Spirit, That they may add sin to sin.”

The current assessment of today’s society, is that everyone is seeking a form of godliness without Jesus Christ. While the Gospel message has been heard, many still look for a alternative salvation. This is due to the Gospel message not linning up with their current lifestyle or the current social climate. This turning away, leads to them rebelling away from YAH’s son Jesus Christ.

These alternate methods for salvation can be new world religions, spirituality or secular morality. While these alternatives can satisfy for the moment they ultimately will fail in the end. John 14:6 states, “Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” This is due to His bloodshed and perfect sacrifice for our sins. 

No other religion, new world belief can make this claim other than Christianity! While the scriptures do not align with the worlds system, the Cross is the only way to overcome its hardships. 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.”

Though the Gospel message wars against our flesh. Trust the Holy Spirit to guide us into understanding for the salvation of our souls, and do not rebel against the love of Christ, Shalom…

When YAH Removes Friendships….

29 Aug

Genesis 13:8, “So Abram said to Lot, “Please let there be no strife between you and me, and between my herdsmen and your herdsmen; for we are brethren. Is not the whole land before you? Please separate from me. If you takethe left, then I will go to the right; or, if you go to the right, then I will go to the left.”

Their will come times, when we will need to be removed from loved ones in order to spiritually grow. While we  all have the same goal of spending eternity with Jesus Christ, every man and woman will have their own separate journey. At times YAH will remove those not based on anything corrupting our spirit but more for our physical prosperity.

Abraham and Lot started their journey together but separated, having to do what was best for their flocks and herds. While this parting of ways was cordial many times YAH will divide us from others for our own spiritual growth.  Moreso the majority of time will be for our spiritual edification. 

2 Corinthians 6:17, states “Therefore go out from their midst, and be separate from them, says the Lord, and touch no unclean thing; then I will welcome you.” Romans 16:17 also reads, “I appeal to you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and create obstacles contrary to the doctrine that you have been taught; avoid them.”I know that losing contact with close friends can be painful.

We must always trust the Holy Spirit, and look for the reasoning behind their absence. Were they hindering you? Or did they receive a deeper relationship with Jesus in their absence? Know that ultimately all things in this world will pass away (1 John 2:17) us included but Jesus Christ is forever, Shalom…

Christ Will Never Leave You!

23 Aug

John 6:37, “All those the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away.“

No one is a child of God by their own means, they are called by YAH himself. This calling may come through suddenly becoming spiritually awaken, hearing the word from a friend or through hardships. The realization of the need of YAH in your life shows that He cares, and has a bigger plan for your life.

Importantly, the bridge to the Most High is through his son, The Lord Jesus Christ. Who through His bloodshed made it possible for the world to know YAH. Hebrews 4:16, reads “Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.”

Lastly, John 6:37 proclaims that whomever knows Jesus Christ, that He will never drive them away. Even when we feel that YAH has forgotten us, the Most High is still their based on our acceptance of Christ sacrifice. YAH calls us unto His Son and Christ never lets us go, Shalom…

YAH’s Grace In Hard Times…

13 Aug

YAH’s Grace In Hard Times…

Philippians 4:13, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.“

I sometimes let my situation minimize the grace YAH has placed over my life. It is always important to remember in Christ we are more than conquerers over every situation in our lives. The reason being is the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, who died for all of our shortcomings.

These shortcomings or sin have been taken to the cross by Jesus, which He shed His blood for (John 3:16). No matter what the situation may be, a loss of a job, economy, mental health just know Jesus Christ has overcome this world.

In times when we may get beside ourselves know that that situation has already been addressed by the cross of Jesus. Roman’s 10:9, “that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved,” Shalom…

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…

Wells Without Water…

25 Jul

2 Peter 2:17, “These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever.”

2 Peter 2:17 speaks of the moral depravity (moral corruption) of the world that we live in. While the good still outweighs the bad modern society is quickly deteriorating. From family values to education to the eradication of Jesus from our culture, we are in a steady decline of morality. People today turn to wells without water when in need for restoration, correction and most importantly salvation.

While instead of dealing with spiritual health, many rather go to the gym, a life coach or unsaved friends and family. Our focus is on making money, wanting to promote ourselves in this natural world more than in YAH. While the well may look good to drink from, ultimately they will find that they are spiritually empty.

Matthew 4:4 reads, “But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.” Jesus is the only well made for man and woman to drink from. No politician, influencer, or anyone can give you what YAH has in store for you by way of Jesus Christ. Are you ready to drink from the well of everlasting life? I am, Shalom…

Is Christianity More Grace or Sinless Perfection?

11 Jul

Ephesians 2:8-9, “For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.”

At times many believers will blur the lines between grace and sinless perfection. While we all are called to be sinless in the eyes of YAH, their is only one individual who can make that claim, in Jesus. Ephesians 4:22 reads, “to put off your old self, which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires, and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, and to put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.”

Sinless perfection is impossible in the flesh (Romans 7:14-24). When we accept the Cross of Christ we are made whole spiritually in him. Grace is the gift of the Most High for when we do sin we can still be reconciled back until Him. 2 Corinthians 12:9 states, “But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me,” Shalom…

Always Giving Thanks to YAH…

27 Jun

Ephesians 5:20, “always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.“

It’s good to every now and again to reflect on all the goodness of YAH. Giving thanks to the Most High for saving me, Psalm 18:1-50.

 For never giving up on me, Isaiah 41 verse 10.The unconditional love. Romans 8:39,

 “nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.“

For finding me John 6:44, “No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them, and I will raise them up at the last day.“

Providing for me, Philippians 4:19.

For healing me 1 Peter 2:24, “‘He Himself bore our sins’ in His body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; ‘by His wounds you have been healed.’” 

Always making away Isaiah 43 verse 19, “Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.“

Lastly for Jesus Christ! 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,” Shalom
