Truth Sets Us Free

Jesus said to the people who believed in him, “You are truly my disciples if you remain faithful to my teachings. And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” — John 8:31-32 (NLT) Yeshua came into the world to testify to the truth. (See John 18:37) The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is upon Him, for the LORD has anointed Him to bring good news to the poor. He was sent to comfort the brokenhearted and to proclaim that captives will be released and prisoners will be freed. (See Isaiah 61:1) “…the Scriptures declare that we are all prisoners of sin, so we receive God’s promise of freedom only by believing in Jesus Christ.” (See Galatians 3:22 NLT) Sin is no longer your master, for you no longer live under the requirements of the law. Instead, you live under the freedom of God’s grace. (Romans 6:14 NLT) Be a true disciple of Christ and remain faithful to His teachings. May we press on to know the truth and be set free from anything or anyone that attempts to hold us captiv...

Cast your burden upon Yahweh and He will sustain you; He will never allow the righteous to be shaken. — Psalms 55:22 (LSB) Cast your burden upon the LORD and stand strong and firm in your faith until the appointed time of your deliverance comes.

Greater Joy!

Many people say, “Who will show us better times?” Let your face smile on us, LORD. You have given me greater joy than those who have abundant harvests of grain and new wine. — Psalms 4:6-7 (NLT) Taste and see that the LORD is good. Oh, the joys of those who take refuge in him! (Psalms 34:8 NLT) Those who look to him for help will be radiant with joy; no shadow of shame will darken their faces. (Psalms 34:5 NLT) There is no greater delight than the fullness of joy we are able to experience in the glorious Presence of our mighty GOD. His lovingkindness is better than life and it endures forever. And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Chr...

Nothing is Too Hard

“O Sovereign LORD! You made the heavens and earth by your strong hand and powerful arm. Nothing is too hard for you!” — Jeremiah 32:17 (NLT) When we open the door of our hearts to the King of kings and the Lord of lords, our Savior and our Redeemer, we are new creations. Second Corinthians 5:17 (NKJV) says: Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. The Lord GOD will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; He will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. He says: “I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and do them.” (See Ezekiel 36:26-27 NKJV) “I am the LORD, the God of all the peoples of the world. Is anything too hard for me?” (Jeremiah 32:27 NLT) Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you. — 1 Pe...

Live in Peace

And let the peace that comes from Christ rule in your hearts. For as members of one body you are called to live in peace. And always be thankful. — Colossians 3:15 (NLT) We are called to live in peace. It is supposed to rule in our hearts, not fear, not anxiety, nor worry, but peace. We are not to only experience moments of peace, when it seems everything has come into perfect alignment. Our peace is to be consistent and continual, regardless of external circumstances. The Amplified Bible describes it as the inner calm of one who walks daily with Christ. (See Colossians 3:15 AMP) We can only have this perfect peace when we rely fully on God and trust Him, that no matter what is going on in our lives, and in this world, He is working everything together for good. If our peace is based on the constantly changing conditions of this world, it will never be stable. Our peace has to come from within us where the Holy Spirit of God dwells. He produces the fruit of peace in our lives. (See Ga...

Surrounded

“Just as the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the LORD surrounds his people, both now and forever.” — Psalms 125:2 (NLT) In 2 Kings 6:15,17-18 (NLT), Elisha’s servant could only see the enemy troops surrounding the city, but Elisha prayed: “O LORD, open his eyes and let him see!” The LORD opened the young man’s eyes, and when he looked up, he saw that the hillside around Elisha was filled with horses and chariots of fire.  You may feel that the enemy has you surrounded, but remember the words of Elisha in 2 Kings 6:16, “Don’t be afraid!” “For there are more on our side than on theirs!” May Yahweh open your eyes to see the situation with eyes of faith. GOD stands with you and gives you strength. He has already given us the victory. Praise the LORD!

Seek First

“It is useless for you to work so hard from early morning until late at night, anxiously working for food to eat; for God gives rest to his loved ones.” — Psalms 127:2 (NLT) “So don’t worry about these things, saying, ‘What will we eat? What will we drink? What will we wear?’ These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly Father already knows all your needs. ”  (Matthew 6:31-32 NLT) But first and most importantly seek (aim at, strive after) His kingdom and His righteousness [His way of doing and being right—the attitude and character of God], and all these things will be given to you also. (Matthew 6:33 AMP) “Your unfailing love, O LORD, is as vast as the heavens; your faithfulness reaches beyond the clouds. Your righteousness is like the mighty mountains, your justice like the ocean depths. You care for people and animals alike, O LORD. How precious is your unfailing love, O God! All humanity finds shelter in the shadow of your wings. You feed them from the ...
