Son of the Most High God

Image
When he saw Jesus from afar, he ran and worshiped Him. And he cried out with a loud voice and said, “What have I to do with You, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I implore You by God that You do not torment me.” For He said to him, “Come out of the man, unclean spirit!” — Mark 5:6-8 (NKJV) Even the demons recognize Jesus the Christ as the Son of the Most High God. In Matthew 24:54 (NLT), it was a Roman officer other soldiers at the crucifixion that said, “This man truly was the Son of God!” However, a majority of the scribes and Pharisees missed seeing the truth. Let us who believe, pray that all will come to believe and know that Yeshua is the Christ, the Son of the living God. (See John 6:69) 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) This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners... (See 1 Timothy 1:15 NKJV) He came that we may have l...

Surrounded

Image
“Many are the sorrows of the wicked, but he who trusts in and relies on the LORD shall be surrounded with compassion and lovingkindness. Be glad in the LORD and rejoice, you righteous [who actively seek right standing with Him]; Shout for joy, all you upright in heart.” — Psalms 32:10-11 (AMP) Be glad in the LORD because His lovingkindnesses indeed never cease, for His compassions never fail. (See Lamentations 3:22 NKJV) Praise Yah! For it is good to sing praises to our God; For it is pleasant and praise is becoming. He is the One who heals the brokenhearted and who binds up their wounds, (Psalms 147:1, 3 LSB). “For the mountains may be removed and the hills may shake, but My lovingkindness will not be removed from you, and My covenant of peace will not be shaken,” says the LORD who has compassion on you. (Isaiah 54:10 NASB1995) 

Our First Love

Image
“I know your works, your labor, your patience, and that you cannot bear those who are evil. And you have tested those who say they are apostles and are not, and have found them liars; and you have persevered and have patience, and have labored for My name’s sake and have not become weary. Nevertheless I have this against you, that you have left your first love.” — Revelation 2:2-4 (NKJV) Even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes. (Ephesians 1:4 NLT) See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! Never abandon your first love. No one has the capacity to love you like our Heavenly Father. Every second of life we breathe on this earth we owe to Yahweh, our Creator. May we truly and deeply love Him because He first loved us. (See 1 John 4:19)

Don't Doubt

Image
I cried out, “I am slipping!” but your unfailing love, O LORD, supported me. When doubts filled my mind, your comfort gave me renewed hope and cheer. — Psalms 94:18-19 (NLT) “Why are you troubled, and why do doubts arise in your hearts?” When it comes to our Heavenly Father and His Son, King Yeshua, have no doubt. The one who doubts is like the surf of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind. (See James 1:6) Stand firm in the faith and be strong. The Lord is your support. When others fail you, He still stands with you and gives you strength. Do not let your heart be troubled; believe in God, believe also in King Yeshua. (See John 14:1) Nothing is too difficult for Him.

Come & Listen

Image
Come, let us worship and bow down. Let us kneel before the LORD our maker, for he is our God. We are the people he watches over, the flock under his care. If only you would listen to his voice today! The LORD says, “Don’t harden your hearts as Israel did at Meribah, as they did at Massah in the wilderness.” — Psalms 95:6-8 (NLT) Come to Yahweh, our Maker. Come with a soft, humble heart and listen to His voice. We are the flock under His care, under the care of the good Shepherd. He knows the plans He has for us. They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give us a future and a hope. (See Jeremiah 29:11) He knows exactly what we need and when we need it. He is a faithful, faithful Father, and He knows what you need before you ask Him. (See Matthew 6:8) “…what man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent? If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will...

Place First Things First

Image
“Great sorrow awaits you religious scholars and Pharisees—frauds and pretenders! For you are obsessed with peripheral issues, like insisting on paying meticulous tithes on the smallest herbs that grow in your gardens. These matters are fine, yet you ignore the most important duties of all: to walk in the love of God, to display mercy to others, and to live with integrity. Readjust your values and place first things first.” — Matthew 23:23 (TPT) Keep first things first. Genuine followers of Christ will continually walk closely with God, in His love and compassion for humanity. May we cultivate faithfulness, humility, generosity, honesty, justice, and love. He has told you, O man, what is good; And what does Yahweh require of you but to do justice, to love lovingkindness, and to walk humbly with your God? (Micah 6:8 LSB)

The Greatest Commandment

Image
Jesus replied, “‘You must love the LORD your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. A second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’” — Matthew 22:37-39 (NLT) Let us make a dedicated decision to love the LORD our God with all of our heart, mind, soul, and strength. And to make Him our refuge and delight ourselves in Him, instead of the temporary things of this world. He is the only One who can satisfy a hungry and thirsty soul. Above all, have fervent and unfailing love for one another, because love covers a multitude of sins [it overlooks unkindness and unselfishly seeks the best for others]. (1 Peter 4:8 NKJV)
