Your work of intercession for others and your work of representing the King of Heaven and Earth are founded in the identity of Jesus. Just as any priest in the temples in Israel gained their authority by being relatives of Levi, your relationship to your Brother, Jesus, is your authority for serving your God, Whose yoke you wear and Whose […]
When the Spirit of Jesus filled Peter, he was still Peter. The difference was like the change from a bud to a flower. Who he really was became real-ized. Expect the same as you surrender to who Yahweh says you are and walk in that identity. When they observed the boldness of Peter and John and realized that they were […]
This is how we have come to know love: He laid down His life for us. We should also lay down our lives for our brothers. God’s love was revealed among us in this way: God sent His One and Only Son into the world so that we might live through Him. Love consists in this: not that we loved […]
Tithing is not being generous. Just the idea of measuring up to the law implies that a person would not be giving that much if they didn’t feel compelled by some rule. Some tithing happens with the hope that it is trading a small thing for a bigger thing. If I give Jesus a tenth, He will owe me a […]
Everybody is broken in some way, in some place. Some people’s wounds have been healed. Some wounds have been the point of contact through which they met Jesus. Some are ongoing reasons for dependency on Him. Some people’s wounds will be your opportunity to lead them to Jesus. Some will be your opportunity to serve Him while serving them. Don’t […]
My dearly loved brothers, understand this: everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger, for man’s anger does not accomplish God’s righteousness. Therefore, ridding yourselves of all moral filth and evil excess, humbly receive the implanted word, which is able to save you. But be doers of the word and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. […]
Your mind and heart are parts of your soul. They help form the place from which you respond to situations and make decisions. They work differently from each other, though. Your mind is more rational, your heart is more emotional. When a beggar approaches you in a gas station, they hope to appeal to your heart. When a marketer approaches […]
Surrender to Jesus and draw your identity from His breath. Be awesome! You have been crucified with Christ, therefore you no longer live, but Christ now lives in you. The life you now live is possible because you live by faith in the Son of Yahweh, Who loves you and gave His life for you. Don’t set aside the grace […]
Never fear how much following Jesus will cost you. Whatever you pursue in life is going to cost your life. Spending your life on Jesus will be like Joseph’s brothers, who bought grain from Joseph, not knowing it was him, and finding when they got back to Palestine that they still had their money.
In 1 Kings 19, Elijah was told by an angel, “Get up and eat, or the journey will be too great for you.” He was told then by the Spirit of Yahweh to stand on the mountain in His presence. When Yahweh passed by the cave Elijah was hiding in, it was after a wind, an earthquake and a fire […]
