Stay Alert!

Image
“When the devil had finished every temptation, he left Him until an opportune time.” — Luke 4:13 (NASB1995) Remember, we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places. (See Ephesians 6:12) Our adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. He is always looking for an opportune time to steal, to kill, and to destroy. Stay alert!  (See 1 Peter 5:8 & John 10:10) When confronted with the lies of the enemy, follow the example of King Yeshua in Luke 4:4, 4:8 & 4:12, and speak what is written in the Holy Scriptures. 

Praise the LORD!

Praise the LORD Praise, O servants of the LORD, praise the name of the LORD! Blessed be the name of the LORD from this time forth and forevermore! From the rising of the sun to its going down the LORD’s name is to be praised. — Psalms 113:1-3 (NKJV) The LORD is high above all nations, His glory above the heavens. (Psalms 113:4) Everything he does reveals his glory and majesty. His righteousness never fails. (Psalms 111:3 NLT) Not to us, O LORD, not to us, but to your name goes all the glory for your unfailing love and faithfulness. All you who fear the LORD, trust the LORD! He is your helper and your shield. (Psalms 115:1, 11 NLT) May the LORD richly bless both you and your children. (Psalms 115:14 NLT)

Do Good

Image
Does anyone want to live a life that is long and prosperous? Then keep your tongue from speaking evil and your lips from telling lies! Turn away from evil and do good. Search for peace, and work to maintain it. — Psalms 34:12-14 (NLT) May we bind the deeds of darkness (See Matthew 8:18) Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it and indulge it will eat its fruit and bear the consequences of their words. (Proverbs 18:21 AMP) Speak words of life to build up versus beat down. Trust in the LORD and do good; Dwell in the land and cultivate faithfulness. (Psalms 37:3 NASB1995) 

He Hears & Rescues

When the righteous cry [for help], the LORD hears and rescues them from all their distress and troubles. The LORD is near to the heartbroken and He saves those who are crushed in spirit (contrite in heart, truly sorry for their sin). Many hardships and perplexing circumstances confront the righteous, but the LORD rescues him from them all. — Psalms 34:17-19 (AMP) “Oh, taste and see that the LORD is good; Blessed is the man who trusts in Him!” (Psalms 34:8 NKJV) “All he does is just and good, and all his commandments are trustworthy. They are forever true, to be obeyed faithfully and with integrity.” (Psalms 111:7-8 NLT) No matter what or who confronts you today, remember that Yahweh is good and He delivers the righteous out of all their troubles.

How Great a Love!

See how great a love the Father has given to us, that we would be called children of God; and we are. For this reason the world does not know us, because it did not know Him. — 1 John 3:1 (LSB) In John 16:27, Yeshua says: “…the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me and have believed that I came forth from the Father.” Our Heavenly Father, the Creator of Heaven and earth, dearly loves you. He is mindful of you and the good plans He has for you. …may you, having been [deeply] rooted and [securely] grounded in love, be fully capable of comprehending with all the saints (God’s people) the width and length and height and depth of His love [fully experiencing that amazing, endless love]; (See Ephesians 3:17-18 AMP).

Peace of Mind

“I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid.” — John 14:27 (NLT) Whatever is good and perfect is a gift coming down to us from God our Father, who created all the lights in the heavens. He never changes or casts a shifting shadow. (James 1:17 NLT) And the greatest gift of all is King Yeshua, Prince of Peace, our Savior and Redeemer. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. (John 3:17 NKJV) He came that we may have life, and that we may have it more abundantly. (See John 10:10) In John 16:33 (NKJV), Yeshua said: “In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” We are able to overcome this world, because He has already gained the victory for us.  May the perfect peace of Christ calm you in every circumstance and give you courage and strength for every challenge. (See John 14:2...

Be Joined

“And many nations will join themselves to Yahweh in that day and will become My people. Then I will dwell in your midst, and you will know that Yahweh of hosts has sent Me to you.” — Zechariah 2:11 (LSB) May we be joined to Yahweh, walking with Him daily, moment by moment. If you have strayed away from Him, repent of your sins now and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped away. Then times of refreshment will come from the presence of the Lord, and he will again send you Jesus, your appointed Messiah. (See Acts 3:19-20 NLT)  Among the gods there is none like You, O Lord; Nor are there any works like Your works. All nations whom You have made shall come and worship before You, O Lord, and shall glorify Your name. For You are great, and do wondrous things; You alone are God. — Psalms 86:8-10 (NKJV)
