Manna for Your Morning

Through the LORD’s mercies we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness. “The LORD is my portion,” says my soul, “Therefore I hope in Him!” — Lamentations 3:22-24 (NKJV) It is because of the lovingkindness of Yahweh that we are not consumed. His tender compassions never fail. We receive fresh new mercies every morning. God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ our LORD. (1 Corinthians 1:9 NKJV) No one can measure His faithfulness. It endures to all generations; (See Psalms 119:90 NKJV) He stands with you when everyone else has abandoned you. For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” (See Hebrews 13:5 NKJV) Keep your hope in Him. I will sing of the mercies of the LORD forever; With my mouth will I make known Your faithfulness to all generations. — Psalms 89:1 (NKJV)

“Beloved friend, I pray that you are prospering in every way and that you continually enjoy good health, just as your soul is prospering.” — 3 John 1:2 (TPT)  May you succeed and prosper in all areas of your life, physically, spiritually, in all of your relationships, in your career, ministry, etc. Joshua 1:8 (NKJV) tells us how: This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and in His law he meditates day and night. He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also shall not wither; and whatever he does shall prosper. (Psalms 1:2-3 NKJV)

In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. — 1 John 4:10 (NKJV) And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son as Savior of the world. (1 John 4:14 NKJV) For God did not send the Son into the world to judge and condemn the world [that is, to initiate the final judgment of the world], but that the world might be saved through Him. (John 3:17 AMP) The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. (See John 10:10a) However, 1 John 3:8 (NKJV) says: The Son of God appeared for this purpose, to destroy the works of the devil. Yeshua came that we may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance [to the full, till it overflows]. (See John 10:10b AMP) For everyone born of God is victorious and overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has conquered and overcome the world—our [continuing, persistent] faith [in Jesus the Son of God]. (1 John 5:4 AMP) He is our only hope. (See John 6:68 ...

All this will flow from the kind and compassionate mercy of our God. A new day is dawning: the Sunrise from the heavens will break through in our darkness, and those who huddle in night, those who sit in the shadow of death, will be able to rise and walk in the light, guided in the pathway of peace. — Luke 1:78-79 (VOICE) Yeshua came as a light into the world, that whoever believes in Him should no longer abide in darkness. (See John 12:46) Rise and walk for the light of Yeshua illuminates the path that leads to peace and truth. He is the true Light which gives light to every man coming into the world. (See John 1:9) In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men. The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it. (John 1:4-5 NASB1995) And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. (John 3:19 NKJV) The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, ...

Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal among you, which comes upon you for your testing, as though some strange thing were happening to you; — 1 Peter 4:12 (NASB1995) Second Timothy 3:12-13 (NASB1995) says: Indeed, all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will be persecuted. But evil men and impostors will proceed from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived. But we are not to get discouraged, nor be afraid. The Lord is faithful to stand with us and strengthen us. (See 1 Timothy 3:17)  The apostle Paul received thirty-nine lashes from the Jews, five times. Three times he was beaten with rods, once he was stoned, three times he was shipwrecked. On frequent journeys, he was in dangers from rivers, robbers, from his own countrymen and from the Gentiles, in dangers in the city, in the wilderness, and on the sea, and in dangers among false brethren. (See 2 Corinthians 11:24-26) In spite of all these things, the apostle Paul reminds us that God is faithful to rescue us. ...

By faith they passed through the Red Sea as though they were passing through dry land; and the Egyptians, when they attempted it, were drowned. — Hebrews 11:29 (NASB1995) In rescuing His people from slavery, God led the people around by way of the wilderness of the Red Sea. (See Exodus 13:18) What looked like defeat to them, God had already planned for victory. Whatever you may be going through today, just keep putting one foot in front of the other, making each step, a step of faith. In your darkest moments, know that Yahweh is with you and He is able to bring you through to the other side. For with Yahweh is the fountain of life and in His light we see light. (See Psalms 36:9) Stay on the path Yahweh has laid before you. On that path is His protection and His provision. “Even when your path takes me through the valley of deepest darkness, fear will never conquer me, for you already have! Your authority is my strength and my peace. The comfort of your love takes away my fear. I’ll nev...

and since we have a great and wonderful Priest [Who rules] over the house of God, let us approach [God] with a true and sincere heart in unqualified assurance of faith, having had our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. — Hebrews 10:21-22 (AMP) Let us seize and hold tightly the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is reliable and trustworthy and faithful [to His word]; (Hebrews 10:23 AMP) Therefore do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward. For you have need of patient endurance [to bear up under difficult circumstances without compromising], so that when you have carried out the will of God, you may receive and enjoy to the full what is promised. For yet in a very little while, He who is coming will come, and will not delay. (See Hebrews 10:35-37 NKJV/AMP) Instead of being like those who turn away from God to their own destruction, draw near to Him with a faithful and sincere heart. But as for me...

You are my hiding place; You preserve me from trouble; You surround me with songs of deliverance. Selah. — Psalms 32:7 (NASB1995) He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say to the LORD, “My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust!” (Psalm 91:1-2 NASB1995) Be gracious to me, O God, be gracious and merciful to me, for my soul finds shelter and safety in You, and in the shadow of Your wings I will take refuge and be confidently secure until destruction passes by. (Psalms 57:1 AMP) How precious is Your lovingkindness, O God! And the sons of men take refuge in the shadow of Your wings. (Psalms 36:7 LSB) Because You have been my help, therefore in the shadow of Your wings I will rejoice. (Psalms 63:7 NKJV)

“He will be your constant source of stability in changing times, and out of his abundant love he gives you the riches of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge. Yes, the fear of the Lord is the key to this treasure!” — Isaiah 33:6 (TPT)

 The conditions and state of this world consistently fluctuate. However, Yahweh is the One constant. In Malachi 3:6 (LSB) He says: “I, Yahweh, do not change;” Our Everlasting God remains the same, and He shows no partiality. He is a good, good Father. In His abundant love, He always takes care of His children. Return to your rest, O my soul, for Yahweh has dealt bountifully with you. For You have rescued my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling. I shall walk before Yahweh in the land of the living. (Psalms 116:7-9 LSB)  I have set Yahweh continually before me; Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken. — Psalms 16:8 (LSB)

“Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel,” which is translated, “God with us.” — Matthew 1:23 (NKJV) No matter what you are going through, remember, God is with you. For in Christ lives all the fullness of God in a human body. (Colossians 2:9 NLT) When you go through deep waters, He will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you. (See Isaiah 43:2 NLT) Don’t fear nor be discouraged because God is with you. He will strengthen you and help you. Surely, He will hold you up with His victorious right hand. (See Isaiah 41:10) Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place. — 2 Corinthians 2:14 (NLT)

Cling to your faith in Christ, and keep your conscience clear. For some people have deliberately violated their consciences; as a result, their faith has been shipwrecked. — 1 Timothy 1:19 (NLT) Don’t suffer shipwreck in regard to your faith. Anchor your hope in Yeshua. Continue to pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, perseverance and gentleness. Fight the good fight of faith; take hold of the eternal life to which you were called… (See 1 Timothy 6:11-12 NASB1995) Stay on course and finish the race, and through it all, keep believing. (See 2 Timothy 4:7 VOICE) “We have this certain hope like a strong, unbreakable anchor holding our souls to God himself. Our anchor of hope is fastened to the mercy seat in the heavenly realm beyond the sacred threshold, and where Jesus, our forerunner, has gone in before us. He is now and forever our royal Priest like Melchizedek.” (Hebrews 6:19-20 TPT) He is the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords. (See 1 Timothy 6:1...

Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice! — Philippians 4:4 (NKJV) How can we maintain a continually joyful attitude? By practicing Philippians 2:14 (NKJV): ...do all things without complaining and disputing. And by abiding in our Lord and Savior, King Yeshua. He says: “I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” He will never leave us nor forsake us. Ecclesiastes 11:8 (NASB1995) says: Indeed, if a man should live many years, let him rejoice in them all, and let him remember the days of darkness, for they will be many. Even when we are walking through those dark valleys, we can be joyful that Yeshua is with us, and He has already overcome the world. Psalms 5:11 (AMP) says: let all who take refuge and put their trust in the LORD rejoice, let them ever sing for joy; because He covers and shelters us, let those who love His name be joyful and exult in Him. May we worship God in the Spirit, rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh. (See Philippians ...

God placed all things under Messiah’s feet and appointed Him as head over all things for His community — — Ephesians 1:22 (TLV) ...[in His love] God chose us in Christ [actually selected us for Himself as His own] before the foundation of the world, so that we would be holy [that is, consecrated, set apart for Him, purpose-driven] and blameless in His sight… (See Ephesians 1:4 AMP) …we, being many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another. (Romans 12:5 NKJV) We have been chosen and called by God, with a purpose and good plans. We are complete in Him who is the head of all principality and power. (See Colossians 2:10 NKJV) Let us be led by Christ, the head of the church, He Himself being the Savior of the body. (See Ephesians 5:23) So I, the prisoner for the Lord, appeal to you to live a life worthy of the calling to which you have been called [that is, to live a life that exhibits godly character, moral courage, personal integrity, and mature behavior—a life that...

Dear brothers and sisters, when troubles of any kind come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy. — James 1:2 (NLT) We can consider it all joy when we encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of our faith produces endurance. And let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. (See James 1:3-4 NASB1995) We can maintain our joy by looking not at the temporary circumstances which are seen but at the eternal things which are not seen. (See 2 Corinthians 4:18) For momentary, light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison (2 Corinthians 4:17 NASB1995) We do this by focusing on Yeshua, the initiator and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before Him, He endured the cross, disregarding its shame; and He has taken His seat at the right hand of the throne of God. (See Hebrews 12:2 TLV) Don't let the enemy steal your joy.  “Your hearts can soar with joyful gratitude when you t...

If anyone serves Me, he must follow Me; and where I am, there My servant will be also; if anyone serves Me, the Father will honor him. — John 12:26 (NASB1995) If we are to serve Yeshua, we MUST continue to faithfully follow Him, without hesitation, holding steadfastly to Him… (See John 12:26 AMP) We are not to conform to the behavior and customs of this world. Nor live in the lusts of our flesh, indulging the desires of the flesh. Galatians 5:24 (TLV) says: Now those who belong to Messiah have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world. (1 John 2:16 NASB1995)  In the way of righteousness is life, and in its pathway there is no death. (Proverbs 12:28 NASB1995) Psalms 16:8 (NASB1995) says: “I have set the LORD continually before me; Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.” He will direct you on the path that ...

Then Jacob departed from Beersheba and went toward Haran. And he reached a certain place and spent the night there because the sun had set; and he took one of the stones of the place and put it under his head and lay down in that place. Then Jacob awoke from his sleep and said, “Surely Yahweh is in this place, and I did not know it.” — Genesis 28:10-11, 16 (LSB) In Jacob's dream, God said, “I am Yahweh, the God of your father Abraham and the God of Isaac… Behold, I am with you and will keep you wherever you go. And I will bring you back to this land; for I will not forsake you until I have done what I have promised you.” (See Genesis 28:13, 15) Today, He is with us. Whatever place you are in, remember Yahweh is in that place with you. You are never alone. No matter what situation or circumstance you are facing, you too can declare: “Surely Yahweh is in this place!” Wherever you go, His hand will guide you and His strength will empower you. (See Psalms 139:10 TPT) Always be aware o...

But Jesus said to him, “No one, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.” — Luke 9:62 (NKJV) In Luke 17:32, Yeshua said: “Remember Lot’s wife.” In Genesis 19:17, Lot was warned by one of the angels who took his family out of Sodom, “Escape for your life! Do not look behind you…” But his wife, from behind him, looked back, and she became a pillar of salt. (See Genesis 19:26) Brethren, I do not regard myself as having laid hold of it yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, have this attitude… (Philippians 3:13-15 NASB1995) No looking back. Yahweh is calling us to a higher level and a deeper walk.

Now after John was put in jail, Yeshua came into the Galilee, proclaiming the Good News of God. “Now is the fullness of time,” He said, “and the kingdom of God is near! Turn away from your sins, and believe in the Good News!” — Mark 1:14-15 (TLV) “I assure you and most solemnly say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God [with faith and humility] like a child will not enter it at all.” (Luke 18:17 AMP) “For the Kingdom of God is not a matter of what we eat or drink, but of living a life of goodness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.” (Romans 14:17 NLT) Citizens of the Kingdom of God, practice righteousness (doing right in regard to God and man), and are full of peace and joy, abiding in and being led by the Holy Spirit. “We comfort and encourage you and challenge you to adopt a lifestyle worthy of God, who invites you into his kingdom and glory.” (See 1 Thessalonians 2:12 TPT) “Blessed [spiritually prosperous, happy, to be admired] are you who are poor [in spirit, those...

Yeshua said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life! No one comes to the Father except through Me. — John 14:6 (TLV) There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death. “You can rationalize it all you want and justify the path of error you have chosen, but you’ll find out in the end that you took the road to destruction.” (Proverbs‬ ‭14‬:‭12‬ ‭NKJV & TPT‬‬) Yeshua said He was THE way to the Father. He didn’t say He was one of many ways to Abba Father. Do not be deceived, Yeshua is the only way to the Father. We have seen and testify that the Father has sent His Son as Savior of the world. (1 John 4:14 TLV)  Yeshua, our Messiah is the truth. In John 8:32 (TLV) Yeshua says:  “You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free!” Yeshua has set us free from the law of sin and death. (See Romans 8:2) The truth of the LORD endures forever. (See Psalms 117:2 NKJV) Choose the way of truth. Yeshua is the resurrection and the life! In Him we are ...

Yet even in the midst of all these things, we triumph over them all, for God has made us to be more than conquerors, and his demonstrated love is our glorious victory over everything!” — Romans 8:37 (TPT) Whenever you are in the midst of troubles, trials and tribulations, remember that children of God triumph over all these things. Yeshua overcame the world and in Him, we too are overcomers. “So, what does all this mean? If God has determined to stand with us, tell me, who then could ever stand against us?” (Romans 8:31 TPT) “Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place.” (2 Corinthians 2:14 NKJV) For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. — Romans 8:18 (NKJV)

“He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God, and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform.” — Romans 4:20-21 (NKJV) Like Abraham, may we never doubt the promises of Yahweh. …for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. (See James 1:6 NKJV) Then we will no longer be like children, forever changing our minds about what we believe because someone has told us something different or has cleverly lied to us and made the lie sound like the truth. (Ephesians 4:14 TLB) Let us seize and hold tightly the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is reliable and trustworthy and faithful [to His word]; (Hebrews 10:23 AMP) He actively watches over His word to fulfill it. (See Jeremiah 1:12 AMP) Let your faith grow strong, and be confident that He is able.  “...with God all things are possible.” (See Matthew 19:26) ‘Ah Lord GOD! Behold, You have...

For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “The just shall live by faith.” — Romans 1:16-17 (NKJV) “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.” (John 3:16 NASB1995) Let us live by faith in the Son of God, who loved us and gave Himself up for us. (See Galatians 2:20)  May we walk by faith, not by sight [living our lives in a manner consistent with our confident belief in God’s promises]— (See 2 Corinthians 5:7 AMP)  Habakkuk 2:4 (AMP) says: the righteous will live by his faith [in the true God]. And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who draws near to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him. (Hebrews 11:6 LSB) Test and evaluate yourselves t...

However, “Let him who boasts boast in the LORD.” — 2 Corinthians 10:17 (AMP) Thus says Yahweh, “Let not a wise man boast in his wisdom, and let not the mighty man boast in his might; let not a rich man boast in his riches, but let him who boasts boast in this, that he understands and knows Me, that I am Yahweh who shows lovingkindness, justice, and righteousness on earth; for I delight in these things,” declares Yahweh. (Jeremiah 9:23-24 LSB)  Some boast in chariots and some in horses, but we will boast in the name of Yahweh, our God. (Psalms 20:7 LSB) For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things have been created through Him and for Him. (Colossians 1:6 NASB1995) May we seek to understand and know Yahweh. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are His ways higher than our ways and His thoughts than our thoughts. (See Isaiah 55:9)  My soul will make i...

The LORD also will be a refuge and a stronghold for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble; And those who know Your name [who have experienced Your precious mercy] will put their confident trust in You, for You, O LORD, have not abandoned those who seek You. — Psalms 9:9-10 (AMP) Yahweh is our refuge, a shelter Who keeps us safe from danger. He is our stronghold, a place that has been fortified so as to protect those within it against attack. When the enemy attempts to bombard your mind with lies, you can protect your mind by renewing it with the Word of God. When you keep your mind stayed on God, He will keep you in perfect peace, because you trust in Him. (See Isaiah 26:3 NKJV) He who abides in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say to Yahweh, “My refuge and my fortress, My God, in whom I trust!” For it is He who delivers you from the snare of the trapper and from the destructive pestilence. (Psalms 91:1-3 LSB) In peace [and with a tran...

“Brothers and sisters, you need to know about the severe trials we experienced… All of the hardships we passed through crushed us beyond our ability to endure, and we were so completely overwhelmed that we were about to give up entirely. It felt like we had a death sentence written upon our hearts, and we still feel it to this day. It has taught us to lose all faith in ourselves and to place all of our trust in the God who raises the dead.” — 2 Corinthians 1:8-9 (TPT) When you are burdened excessively and overwhelmed, do not give up. When you come to the end of what you can do, give it to God. Place all of your trust in Yahweh, who is able to bring the dead back to life. Our sufficiency is from God. (See 2 Corinthians 3:5 NKJV) We may be pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not completely crushed by them. We may be perplexed at times, but we do not have to give in to despair. We know that God knows what to do. We may be hunted down, but we are never abandoned by God. We may g...

Three things will last forever—faith, hope, and love—and the greatest of these is love. — 1 Corinthians 13:13 (NLT) Love is large and incredibly patient. Love is gentle and consistently kind to all. It refuses to be jealous when blessing comes to someone else. Love does not brag about one’s achievements nor inflate its own importance. Love does not traffic in shame and disrespect, nor selfishly seek its own honor. Love is not easily irritated or quick to take offense. (1 Corinthians 13:4-5 TPT) Love is “kind to all ,” not just those who agree with our opinions, and conform to our ways. “Love joyfully celebrates honesty and finds no delight in what is wrong. Love is a safe place of shelter, for it never stops believing the best for others. Love never takes failure as defeat, for it never gives up.” (1 Corinthians 13:6-7 TPT) Be that safe place for others. Real love endures through every circumstance. Love lasts forever, not just in the month of December. Love continually, every month ...

There is an appointed time for everything. And there is a time for every event under heaven— A time to give birth and a time to die;
 A time to plant and a time to uproot what is planted. A time to kill and a time to heal; 
A time to tear down and a time to build up. A time to weep and a time to laugh;
 A time to mourn and a time to dance. A time to throw stones and a time to gather stones; 
A time to embrace and a time to shun embracing. A time to search and a time to give up as lost; 
A time to keep and a time to throw away. A time to tear apart and a time to sew together;
 A time to be silent and a time to speak. A time to love and a time to hate;
 A time for war and a time for peace. — Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 (NASB1995) It takes wisdom to know the appropriate time to engage in each activity, here on earth. For example it is very important to know when to talk and when it’s better to be silent. Let us ask Yahweh for wisdom and discernment to do the right thing at the right time. However...

...God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved),  — Ephesians 2:4-5 (NASB1995) See how great a love the Father has bestowed on us, that we would be called children of God! (See 1 John 3:1 NASB1995) …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)  “Live with the confidence that there is nothing in the universe with the power to separate us from God’s love. Be convinced that his love will triumph over death, life’s troubles, fallen angels, or dark rulers in the heavens. There is nothing in our present or future circumstances that can weaken his love. There is no power above us or beneath us—no power that could eve...

You have given me greater joy than those who have abundant harvests of grain and new wine. — Psalms 4:7 (NLT) Any joy that is based upon material possessions or external circumstances will be temporary, and will constantly fluctuate. But when our joy is seated in Elohim, our Creator, we will experience a deep and continual joy at all times, a joy that will not be disturbed. James 1:2 (NASB1995) says: Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials… Second Corinthians 4:17 reminds us that our affliction is light and momentary. When suffering affliction on every side, and going through conflicts and fears, the Apostle Paul continued to experience great joy. In 2 Corinthians 7:4 (NASB1995), he said: “I am overflowing with joy in all our affliction.” Hebrews 12:2 says, Yeshua endured the cross for the joy that was set before Him. Therefore, I will rejoice greatly in Yahweh; my soul will rejoice in my God, for He has clothed me with garments of salvation, He has wrapped...

“Every gift God freely gives us is good and perfect, streaming down from the Father of lights, who shines from the heavens with no hidden shadow or darkness and is never subject to change.” — James (Jacob) 1:17 (TPT) May we set our hope on God, who richly and ceaselessly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. (See 1 Timothy 6:17 AMP) By his divine power, God has given us everything we need for living a godly life. We have received all of this by coming to know him, the one who called us to himself by means of his marvelous glory and excellence. (2 Peter 1:3 NLT) In Genesis 2:16-17, the LORD God commanded the man, saying, “Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat…” Even though they had access to every other tree in the garden of Eden, the serpent got Eve to focus on the one tree that was prohibited. (See Genesis 3:1-6) The enemy likes to get us focused on the one thing we lack. May we always have a t...

Now on the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink. He who believes in Me, as the Scripture said, ‘From his innermost being will flow rivers of living water.’” But this He spoke of the Spirit, whom those who believed in Him were to receive; for the Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified. — John 7:37-39 (NASB1995) Everyone who thirsts, come to the waters and drink! Why do you spend money for what is not bread, and your wages for what does not satisfy? (See Isaiah 55:1-2) And the Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let him who hears say, “Come!” And let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely. (Revelation 22:17 NKJV) Do not get drunk with wine, for that is wickedness (corruption, stupidity), but be filled with the [Holy] Spirit and constantly guided by Him. (Ephesians 5:18 AMP) O LORD, the hope of Israel, all who turn away from you will be di...

This is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you, that God is Light, and in Him there is no darkness at all. — 1 John 1:5 (NASB1995) God is light and we were created in His image, according to His likeness. (See Genesis 1:26) “If we claim that we share life with him, but keep walking in the realm of darkness, we’re fooling ourselves and not living the truth. But if we keep living in the pure light that surrounds him, we share unbroken fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, continually cleanses us from all sin.” (1 John 1:6-7 TPT) God called us out of the domain of darkness and into His marvelous light. (See 1 Peter 2:9) For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light (Ephesians 5:8 NKJV) The night [this present evil age] is almost gone and the day [of Christ’s return] is almost here. So let us fling away the works of darkness and put on the [full] armor of light. — Romans 13:12 (AMP)

Even though the Lord may allow you to go through a season of hardship and difficulty, he himself will be there with you. He will not hide himself from you, for your eyes will constantly see him as your Teacher. When you turn to the right or turn to the left, you will hear his voice behind you to guide you, saying, “This is the right path; follow it.” — Isaiah 30:20-21 (TPT) In all of our trials and tribulations, Yahweh is always with us, and He shows us the right path to take. Listen to His voice above all others. He will guide you in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake. (See Psalms 23:3) “Yes, this is our God, our great God forever. He will lead us onward until the end, through all time, beyond death, and into eternity!” (Psalms 48:14 TPT) Just as we listen to the GPS in our vehicles to get us where we want to go, we need to listen to the voice of our heavenly Father to get to our desired destination in life. And just as the GPS re-routes us when we miss a turn, so our heav...

And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. — Galatians 6:9 (NKJV) Don’t be misled—you cannot mock the justice of God. You will always harvest what you plant. Those who live only to satisfy their own sinful nature will harvest decay and death from that sinful nature. But those who live to please the Spirit will harvest everlasting life from the Spirit. (Galatians 6:7-8 NLT) May we continually plant the seeds of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control and that is the fruit we shall bear. And as for [the rest of] you, believers, do not grow tired or lose heart in doing good [but continue doing what is right without weakening]. — 2 Thessalonians 3:13 (AMP)

                                                                                                                              So then, brothers and sisters, we have an obligation, but not to our flesh [our human nature, our worldliness, our sinful capacity], to live according to the [impulses of the] flesh [our nature without the Holy Spirit]— for if you are living according to the [impulses of the] flesh, you are going to die. But if [you are living] by the [power of the Holy] Spirit you are habitually putting to death the sinful deeds of the body, you will [really] live forever. — Romans 8:12-13 (AMP) If we [claim to] live by the [Holy] Spirit, we must also walk by the Spirit...

Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? I will put my hope in God! I will praise him again— my Savior and my God! — Psalms 42:5-6a (NLT) Dear friends, don’t be surprised at the fiery trials you are going through, as if something strange were happening to you. (1 Peter 4:12 NLT) Through Yeshua then, let us continually offer up to God a sacrifice of praise—the fruit of lips giving thanks to His name. (See Hebrews 13:15 TLV) For great is the LORD and greatly to be praised; He is to be feared above all gods. (Psalms 96:4 NASB1995) Praise Yah! Praise God in His sanctuary; Praise Him in His mighty expanse. Praise Him for His mighty deeds; Praise Him according to the abundance of His greatness. Let everything that has breath praise Yah. Praise Yah! (Psalms 150:1-2, 6 LSB) I will bless Yahweh at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth. (Psalms 34:1 LSB) I will praise You, O Lord my God, with all my heart, and I will glorify Your name forevermore. (Psalms 86:12 NKJV) I will...

If any of you lacks wisdom [to guide him through a decision or circumstance], he is to ask of [our benevolent] God, who gives to everyone generously and without rebuke or blame, and it will be given to him. — James 1:5 (AMP) But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart, do not be arrogant and so lie against the truth. This wisdom is not that which comes down from above, but is earthly, natural, demonic. For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there is disorder and every evil thing. (James 3:14-16 NASB1995) Let us seek wisdom from above, for the wisdom of this world is foolishness before God. (See 1 Corinthians 3:19) …the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy. (James 3:17 NKJV) How blessed is the man who finds wisdom and the man who gains understanding. — Proverbs 3:13 (NASB1995)

Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making an appeal through us; we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. — 2 Corinthians 5:20-21 (NASB1995) …we all, with unveiled face, continually seeing as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are progressively being transformed into His image from [one degree of] glory to [even more] glory, which comes from the Lord, [who is] the Spirit. (2 Corinthians 3:18 AMP) May we be blameless and innocent, children of God above reproach in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom we appear as lights in the world, (See Philippians 2:15 NASB1995). And as Christ’s representatives here on earth, let us implore others to be reconciled to God through Christ. I will rejoice greatly in Yahweh; my soul will rejoice in my God, for He has clothed me with garments of salvation, He has wrapped me with a robe of ...

“On an appointed day Herod, having put on his royal apparel, took his seat on the rostrum and began delivering an address to them. The people kept crying out, “The voice of a god and not of a man!” And immediately an angel of the Lord struck him because he did not give God the glory, and he was eaten by worms and died.” — Acts 12:21-23 (NASB1995) Pride goes before destruction, and haughtiness before a fall. (Proverbs 16:18) The Lord struck Herod down because he did not give God the glory and instead permitted himself to be worshiped. (See Acts 12:23 AMP) “God is opposed to the proud, but gives grace to the humble.” (See James 4:6 NASB1995) Let us clothe ourselves with humility, and always give God the glory. He is so worthy to receive all praise, honor and glory. In His hand is the life of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind. (See Job 12:10) In Him we live and move and have our being. (See Acts 17:28) Yahweh has generously given us all of the gifts, talents and resources ...

“Now may God, the fountain of hope, fill you to overflowing with uncontainable joy and perfect peace as you trust in him. And may the power of the Holy Spirit continually surround your life with his super-abundance until you radiate with hope!” — Romans 15:13 (TPT) Whatever set of circumstances you face today, trust that God is able to handle it and be filled with joy and peace. Listen carefully to what God the LORD is saying, for he speaks peace to his faithful people… (See Psalms 85:8 NLT) “Don’t be dejected and sad, for the joy of the LORD is your strength!” (See Nehemiah 8:10 NLT) Yet I will [choose to] rejoice in the LORD; I will [choose to] shout in exultation in the [victorious] God of my salvation! (Habakkuk 3:18 AMP) Choose joy and peace.

“And the patriarchs, becoming envious, sold Joseph into Egypt. But God was with him and delivered him out of all his troubles, and gave him favor and wisdom in the presence of Pharaoh, king of Egypt; and he made him governor over Egypt and all his house.” — Acts 7:9-10 (NKJV) Those close to us may do us wrong, but Yahweh is always with us and He is faithful to deliver us out of all our troubles. Psalms 34:17 (NLT) says: The LORD hears his people when they call to him for help. He rescues them from all their troubles. In Genesis 50:20, Joseph told his brothers: “As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good…” What harm Yahweh allows others to do in your life, He is able to turn around for good. The land of your suffering can become the place of abundant blessings.

“let it be known to all of you and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Yeshua ha-Mashiach ha-Natzrati (of Nazareth) —whom you had crucified, whom God raised from the dead—this one stands before you whole. This Yeshua is ‘the stone—rejected by you, the builders—that has become the chief cornerstone.’ There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved!” — Acts 4:10-12 (TLV) Before you call upon the pastor, preacher, priest, or president, make sure you call upon and trust in the name of Yeshua, our Savior.  “And it shall come to pass that whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved.” (Acts 2:21 NKJV) Of Him all the prophets bear witness that through His name everyone who believes in Him receives forgiveness of sins.” (Acts 10:43 NASB1995) “And now you must repent and turn back to God so that your sins will be removed, and so that times of refreshing will stream from the Lord’s presence.” (Act...

“And He said to them, “Why are you troubled? And why do doubts arise in your hearts?” — Luke 24:38 (NKJV) Why are you troubled? In John 14:27 (TPT) Yeshua said: “I leave the gift of peace with you—my peace. Not the kind of fragile peace given by the world, but my perfect peace. Don’t yield to fear or be troubled in your hearts—instead, be courageous!” “These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33 NASB1995) Have no doubt. ...despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us. (Romans 8:37 NLT)

We think you ought to know, dear brothers and sisters, about the trouble we went through in the province of Asia. We were crushed and overwhelmed beyond our ability to endure, and we thought we would never live through it. In fact, we expected to die. But as a result, we stopped relying on ourselves and learned to rely only on God, who raises the dead. — 2 Corinthians 1:8-9 (NLT) We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed. We are perplexed, but not driven to despair. We are hunted down, but never abandoned by God. We get knocked down, but we are not destroyed. (2 Corinthians 4:8-9 NLT) No matter what troubles and trials come our way, may we learn to rely only on Elohim, the all-powerful One, Creator of the universe. He has the power to bring the dead back to life. He rescued us from so great a threat of death, and will continue to rescue us. On Him we have set our hope. And He will again rescue us [from danger and draw us near], (2 Corinthians 1:10 AMP)

Glory in His holy name;  Let the hearts of those who seek and require the LORD [as their most essential need] rejoice. Seek and deeply long for the LORD and His strength [His power, His might]; Seek and deeply long for His face and His presence continually. — Psalm 105:3-4 (AMP) Let not a day go by that you do not long for more of Yahweh, in your heart, in your mind and in your life. Like John the Baptist said in John 3:30, “He must increase, but I must decrease.” May we consistently inquire of Him and His will for us, and draw our strength from Him, for with Yahweh all things are possible.“...those who entwine their hearts with Yahweh will experience divine strength. They will rise up on soaring wings and fly like eagles, run their races without growing weary, and walk through life without giving up.” ‭‭(Isaiah‬ ‭40‬:‭31‬ ‭TPT‬‬)   

Now to the One who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to present you blameless before the presence of His glory with great joy, to the only God our Savior, through Yeshua the Messiah our Lord, be glory, majesty, power, and authority, before all time, both now and forever. Amen. — Jude 24-25 (TLV) I am sure of this very thing—that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the Day of Messiah Yeshua. (Philippians 1:6 TLV) Therefore let the one who thinks that he stands watch out that he doesn’t fall. No temptation has taken hold of you except what is common to mankind. But God is faithful—He will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you can handle. But with the temptation He will also provide a way of escape, so you will be able to endure it. Therefore, my dearly loved ones, flee from idolatry. (1 Corinthians 10:12-14 TLV) ...submit to [the authority of] God. Resist the devil [stand firm against him] and he will flee from you. (James 4:7 AMP)

Ascribe to the LORD the glory due His name; Worship the LORD in the beauty and majesty of His holiness [as the creator and source of holiness]. — Psalms 29:2 (AMP) Yahweh is our Creator and the source of all we need. …in Him we live and move and have our being. (See Acts 17:28 NKJV) He Himself gives to all of people life and breath and all things; (See Acts 17:28 NASB1995) Release the frustrations, disappointments and cares of this world and receive all that our heavenly Father has for us, —redemption, salvation, righteousness, healing, lovingkindness, compassion, and everlasting joy, etc. Yahweh sat enthroned over the flood; Indeed, Yahweh sits as King forever. Yahweh will give strength to His people; Yahweh will bless His people with peace. (Psalms 29:10-11 LSB) Amen. Come, let us worship and bow down, let us kneel before the LORD our Maker. — Psalms 95:6 (NASB1995)

I know how to get along and live humbly [in difficult times], and I also know how to enjoy abundance and live in prosperity. In any and every circumstance I have learned the secret [of facing life], whether well-fed or going hungry, whether having an abundance or being in need. — Philippians 4:12 (AMP) Like the Apostle Paul, may we learn the secret of not just surviving but thriving in whatever kind of situation or circumstance that comes our way. In Philippians 4:4, he also instructs us to rejoice in the Lord always. So, no matter what set of circumstances you face today, don’t let the enemy steal your joy. Let us put more time and energy into trusting God and drawing near to Him than we do in trying to control our circumstances or manipulate people. The closer we are to Him the more likely we will see the situation from His perspective, a higher viewpoint.  Learn to be content and wait with expectation for God to lead you and guide you in the best course of action. And be confid...

His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and virtue. Through these things He has given us His precious and magnificent promises, so that through them you may become partakers of the divine nature, since you have escaped the corruption that evil desires have brought into the world. — 2 Peter 1:3-4 (TLV) We can all be partakers of the wonderful grace of God (See Philippians 1:7), and share in His precious promises. God our Savior desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. (See 1 Timothy 2:3-4) As holy brethren, we are partakers of a heavenly calling. (See Hebrews 3:1) Our generous and good God has given us everything we need to escape the corruption of worldly desires and share in the divine nature. Yeshua came that we have life, and have it more abundantly, here on earth and in the age to come, eternal life. (See John 10:10 & Mark 10:29-30) Let us encourage one a...
