Being Spiritually Minded…

22 Mar

Romans 8:6, “For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.”

Being spiritually minded is the goal for all disciples of Jesus Christ. At times, living by the spirit can be a daunting task. The Bible however outlines three ways to be devoted to the most High. Number one, live for him. Philippians 1 verse 27 states, “Only let your conduct be worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of your affairs, that you stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel.” The scriptures say to let your conduct be worthy in His eyes. Carrying yourself with dignity, respect and love.

Number two, showcase the gifts of the spirit in your everyday life. Galatians 5 verse 22-23 reads, “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.” Letting these actions and emotions govern your attitudes and response to others. Being a peacekeeper sets us apart from the outside world, and showcases the perfect peace that a life in Jesus brings.

And lastly number three, feed off the word of YAH. Romans 12 verse 2, “And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.” Study the scriptures by reading the Bible to strengthen our faith and reinforce our faith. Being spiritually minded in short keeps our minds on YAH the Most High. Allowing us to rest totally in his presence, 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…

The Lying Wonders of Satan…

28 Jan

2 Thessalonians 2:9, “Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders.”

Having fundamental belief in the Holy Bible is very crucial in these end times. Not only faith in the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus but also of Satan’s endgame plan the Anti-Christ. A vast majority of the world believe or have heard the Gospel message but many are only expecting a returning Christ and not first the Antichrist arrival on the world scene. The lying wonders of the Devil’s avatar will cause many to place their faith in Him, and war with the real Christ once He returns after with the saints.

The lying wonders will be reminiscent of the miracles Jesus accomplished during his earthly ministry. Healings (Matt 15:30), raising the dead (Mark 5:21 through 43) and possibly power over the elements (Mark 4:35 through 41). The difference between Jesus and the Antichrist, is that the false messiah will claim these miracles for himself instead of giving YAH the glory.

Jesus Christ states in John 10:25-38, “Jesus answered them, “I told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in My Father’s name, they bear witness of Me.  Butyou do not believe, because you are not of My sheep, as I said to you.  My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand. My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father’s hand. I and My Father are one.”

Jesus will come in YAH’s name to bring his kingdom unto the Earth. The other to bring destruction in his, 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…
