In The Light, Darkness Will Flee…

1 Feb

John 8:12, “Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”

One of the most amazing things to know, is that Jesus Christ is the eternal light of the world and our Spirits. Though this light is spiritual it is symbolic of natural light. A comforting thing to know is that darkness can never overtake the light while light, will always overtake the darkness. 

This eternal light is the Gospel of Jesus Christ! This light overtakes the darkness found in our human bodies which is sin. Sin  creates a separation from us and YAH, and upon receiving Jesus as our Savior this light comes to live within us.

The light of the Gospels extinguishes all darkness which is why we are charged to spread it throughout the world Matthew 28:19-20. We are commissioned to bring this light to everyone, in doing so omitting the darkness in themselves and the world, Shalom.

Jesus Anointed At Bethany…

26 Jan

Mark 14:3-9, And being in Bethany at the house of Simon the leper, as He sat at the table, a woman came having an alabaster flask of very costly oil of spikenard. Then she broke the flask and poured it on His head. But there were some who were indignant among themselves, and said, “Why was this fragrant oil wasted? For it might have been sold for more than three hundred denarii and given to the poor.” And they criticized her sharply.
But Jesus said, “Let her alone. Why do you trouble her? She has done a good work for Me. For you have the poor with you always, and whenever you wish you may do them good; but Me you do not have always. She has done what she could. She has come beforehand to anoint My body for burial. Assuredly, I say to you, wherever this gospel is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be told as a memorial to her.”

The anointing at Bethany is a exceptional account of faith. Yet while Jesus was still alive a woman (Thought to be Mary, the sister of Lazarus) anointed His head for burial. Yet while some still did not believe the Messiah would be resurrected, this woman did and came to anoint Him as king. Believing and receiving Jesus as the sacrifice for her sins.

I ask what are you believing YAH for? In prayer, approach the Most High through Jesus Christ and receive His divine will for your life. This post is in remembrance of the woman who anointed Jesus at Bethany, 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.

Resist The Devil And He Will Flee For You…

15 Jan

James 4:7, “Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.”

All the time Satan is looking for the opportunity to terminate our relationship with YAH. The enemy is fine tuned into our sin nature and knows exactly what will cause us to fall (1 John 2:16-17). 

It is only through the rebuke of the enemy by way of our Faith in Jesus Christ. Submitting anger, lust, pride, jealousy. Galatians 1:4 reads “who gave Himself for our sins, that He might deliver us from this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father.”

Prayer and the submission to the will of YAH, is the only way to resist the enemy. Know that the Lord’s will is for us to move in 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.

I pray that we all carry these attributes with us throughout our day, Shalom…

You’re More Than Enough In Christ…

5 Jan

1 Kings 19:4-8, “But he himself went a day’s journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a broom tree. And he prayed that he might die, and said, “It is enough! Now, Lord, take my life, for I am no better than my fathers!”

Then as he lay and slept under a broom tree, suddenly an angel touched him, and said to him, “Arise and eat.” Then he looked, and there by his head was a cake baked on coals, and a jar of water. So he ate and drank, and lay down again. And the angel of the Lord came back the second time, and touched him, and said, “Arise and eat, because the journey is too great for you.” So he arose, and ate and drank; and he went in the strength of that food forty days and forty nights as far as Horeb, the mountain of God.

At times me may feel that we are not fulfilling our purpose in Christ. Please know that the Holy Spirit is guiding our journey thought the highs and the lows, Romans 8:14. When tough times arise look to YAH in prayer and know that help is coming to you, the same as it did Elijah in 1 Kings 19:4-8, Shalom.

Look For The Lord Now…

2 Jan

Look For The Lord Now…Isaiah 55:6-7, “Seek the Lord while He may be found, Call upon Him while He is near. Let the wicked forsake his way, And the unrighteous man his thoughts; Let him return to the Lord, And He will have mercy on him; And to our God, For He will abundantly pardon.”


How much time is left for us to find the Lord? As we move about in our day to day lives we prioritize our duties as to what is important to the lest. For the majority work, school and errands take precedence but we need to assign prayer first thing when we awake. 

Thanking the Most High for all that He has done and is doing. Pray for continued edification in the spirit for ourselves and loved ones. Seek the Lord while he may be found, refers to our time here on Earth. No man or woman knows how much time we have left in the physical world before we are called up to Him, in death it is too late.

Are you ready to meet YAH if that time is now? I pray the Body of Christ continuously seeks His will and guidance from the Holy Spirit while He can be found, 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.

The Day Of The Lord…

5 Dec

1 Thessalonians 5:2-4, “For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night. For when they say, “Peace and safety!” then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape. But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief.”

The day of the Lord is described in the Bible as the end of this current Earth Age. When the wrath of YAH is revealed to the world. The beginning of these events will the rapture of the Church, the rise Anti-Christ and the release of demonic spirits upon the world (Revelation 16:14). During this time YAH’s judgment will be poured out as a final call for repentance on Israel and all others who have hardened their hearts by rejecting the Gospel of Jesus Christ. YAH’s sin atonement for mankind (Romans 5:10).

Though this will be a very troubling time, the end of this current Earth Age will bring in Christ’s Kingdom Age. Revelations 20:4 states, “And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was committed to them. Then I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God, who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands. And they lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. 

Are you ready for the Day of the Lord? I pray all will endure and repent of our sins and accept the Cross of Christ, Shalom…

Lawlessness…

28 Nov

2 Thessalonians 2:5-8, “Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things? And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his own time. For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way. And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming.”

The dictionary defines lawlessness as a state of disorder due to a disregard for the law. This disorder is Satan’s attempt to lead the world away from any regard for authority whether it’s law or religion. This is so to establish a perfect storm for the Antichrist to seize control of this world system. Lawlessness destroys a law, marriages, beliefs in Faith and the natural order of how the world functions in an attempt to replace it with a better alternative.

The modern decay of today’s society in regards to marriage, government, authority and Faith is only fulfilling Biblical prophecy. The Apostle Paul in 2 Thessalonians 2:5-8 stated once these things have been revealed then the Antichrist will be revealed, as a false messiah that will “fix” this broken system  but to no avail. The Lord Jesus Christ is the answer to fix this broken world, through repentance of sin, and acceptance of His sacrifice at the cross. As the world continues in disarray I pray that we all turn to the Cross of Christ as the true answer to lawlessness, Shalom…

Is Living In A Sinful World A Reason To Not Believe In God?

16 Nov

2 Timothy 3:1-5, “But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy,  without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God—  having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people.”

Many who have fallen away from the Faith or have never received the Holy Spirit will say, “With so much bad in the world, how can anyone believe in God?” My reply is that the Bible has always predicted troubling times, since the fall of man in the Garden of Eden. Human nature since then has only been exposing its sin and the need for salvation by accepting Jesus Christ as their Savior. We must not forget that even though God (YAH) is supreme the time has not yet come for sin and death to be fully put away (Revelation 21:4).

In these times we should not lose our Faith but be strengthened by it, knowing that the Lord has his hand on us. 1 Peter 5:6 states, “Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time.” We need to remain steadfast in this world being the example of Christ for hope of better times in the new Kingdom Age. Should we lose Faith in the face of evil? No, in knowing the scriptures recorded these circumstances and provided the answer to it in Jesus Christ, Shalom…
