Get Courage
May our Lord Jesus Christ Himself and God our Father, who has loved us and given us eternal encouragement and good hope by grace, encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good work and word.(2 Thessalonians 2:16-17 HCSB ©®)
Slaves – Children – Servants – Friends – Family
Now I say that as long as the heir is a child, he differs in no way from a slave, though he is the owner of everything.(Galatians 4:1 HCSB ©®) No one has greater love than this, that someone would lay down his life for his friends. You are My friends if you do what I command you. I do […]
Stop Lights
If you have to race to get through a green light, you feel like you got by with something. If you have to sit at a red light for a long time before a green light could be available, you feel like you lost something. If you are praying that the Holy Spirit would lead all your steps each day […]
No Place for Jealousy
Paul listed jealousy as one of the flesh’s works against us in Galatians 5:19-21. He pointed out that practicing the actions he listed there would prevent us inheriting the Kingdom of God. Keeping our eyes on Jesus with a growing desire to be like Him and to please Him will turn our hearts away from jealousy and fear and pride […]
Jesus – Yeshua – Salvation-of-Yah
Jesus is the perfect Priest for us. If, then, perfection came through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people received the law), what further need was there for another priest to arise in the order of Melchizedek, and not to be described as being in the order of Aaron? For when there is a change of the priesthood, there […]
Our Super Natures
Did Jesus promise us eternal life by faith in His sacrifice just so we could do well until humans discover a way to avoid death? Did Jesus promise us miraculous healings just so we could do well until humans discovered a way to avoid sickness? Same answer to both questions is right. Now there are different gifts, but the same […]
Shine
“As for Me, this is My covenant with them,” says the Lord: “My Spirit who is on you, and My words that I have put in your mouth, will not depart from your mouth, or from the mouth of your children, or from the mouth of your children’s children, from now on and forever,” says the Lord.Arise, shine, for your […]
Quite Awake
“The kingdom of God is like this,” He said. “A man scatters seed on the ground; he sleeps and rises—night and day, and the seed sprouts and grows—he doesn’t know how. The soil produces a crop by itself—first the blade, then the head, and then the ripe grain on the head. But as soon as the crop is ready, he […]
The Throne Affects Your Life
I pray that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, would give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him. I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened so you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the glorious riches of His inheritance among the saints, […]
Seed Sown
This is not a parable about the church, or about being born of God. It is about the Kingdom. Where does your life get described in it? Does anything need to change? “You, then, listen to the parable of the sower: When anyone hears the word about the kingdom and doesn’t understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away […]
