I don’t become more full of faith by clenching my fists and holding my breath and bugging my eyes under the pressure. I become faith-full by deciding to allow the Spirit of the Living God to manifest in and through me as the Spirit of Faith. Same for joy, peace, you know… I may have to re-make the decision 30 […]
Or do you despise the riches of His kindness, restraint, and patience, not recognizing that God’s kindness is intended to lead you to repentance? (Romans 2:4 Holman Christian Standard Bible ©®) Repentance is the changing of your mind. You thought a certain way or believed a certain thing, then something happened, and now you think a different way or believe […]
The Kingdom of Heaven is righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit (Romans 14:17). Righteousness is the condition of being so properly aligned with the King that I think rightly and act rightly. There is a righteousness that could come through the laws Yahweh gave to Moses for Israel, but no one has achieved righteousness by that method (Galatians […]
How often do we worship Yahweh? How often when we think we are worshiping Him, are we simply using flattery to squeeze past the cultural obligation of standing during the singing of hymns and songs? How often are we on our faces in awe, as John, who was very familiar with Jesus during his time of being trained by Him, […]
The grandest thing which we can receive from Jesus is not a philosophy that He teaches, but a life that He imparts. The Spirit is the One who gives life. The flesh doesn’t help at all. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and are life. But there are some among you who don’t believe.” (John 6:63-64 […]
There is a difference between the anointing of Yahweh and the glory of Yahweh that is like the difference between looking at the tracks of a lion and looking into the eyes of that lion. If you want to see the glory of Yahweh, you must approach along the trail of the sufferings of Jesus. Follow those tracks, and you […]
Faith separated from works is like a body separate from a spirit – One is a ghost, and the other is a corpse. Keep speaking and acting like people who will be judged by a Torah which gives freedom. For judgment will be without mercy toward one who doesn’t show mercy; but mercy wins out over judgment. What good is […]
The future of a city or a nation is not based on the filthiness of its sinful citizens, but on the faithfulness of its citizens who are sons and daughters of Yahweh. The men turned from there and went toward Sodom while Abraham remained standing before the Lord. Abraham stepped forward and said, “Will You really sweep away the righteous […]
There are two things that do not really exist – white lies or clean turds. Blessed are the pure in heart, because they will see God. (Matthew 5:8 Holman Christian Standard Bible ©®) To the pure, everything is pure, but to those who are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; in fact, both their mind and conscience are defiled. They […]
Don’t expect to see the fire of God unless you intend to be the fuel of God. I was speechless and quiet; I kept silent, even from speaking good, and my pain intensified. My heart grew hot within me; as I mused, a fire burned. I spoke with my tongue: “Lord, reveal to me the end of my life and […]
