Manna for Your Morning

They will wage war against the Lamb, and the Lamb will triumph over them; for He is Lord of lords and King of kings—and those with Him and on His side are chosen and called [elected] and loyal and faithful followers. — Revelation 17:14 (AMPC) The Lamb of God, and those with Him, will triumph and conquer all. Those with Him are  chosen . Ephesians 1:4-5 (NLT) says: Even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes. God decided in advance to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. This is what he wanted to do, and it gave him great pleasure. You are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; (See 1 Peter 2:9 NKJV) Those with Him are called . We are called to be saints. First Corinthians 1:2 (NKJV) says: To the church of God which is at Corinth, to those who are

Because of the surpassing greatness of the revelations, for this reason, to keep me from exalting myself, there was given me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to torment me—to keep me from exalting myself! — 2 Corinthians 12:7 (NASB1995) Concerning this thorn, Paul says, three different times, he begged the Lord to take it away. And the Lord said, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.” Paul adds: “So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me.” (See 2 Corinthians 12:8-9) What kinds of challenges may God be allowing in our lives to keep us from becoming prideful and arrogant? What prickly situation is calling for patience and perseverance? May we never think more highly of ourselves than we ought to. Everything we have, and all of our talents and abilities, we have received from Elohim, our Creator. And He imparts His grace to empower us and give us strength in the midst of our struggles.

Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me. — Revelation 3:20 (NKJV) Yeshua is continually knocking on the door of your heart. May your ears be open to hear His voice. Keep your heart and mind wide open to receive more of Him. Open your arms and embrace the Prince of Peace. Receive His unfailing love. He will fill your cup to overflowing. Let it spill out on those around you. Our compassionate King is rich in grace and mercy. Let go of anything hindering you from abiding in Him. As you receive from our generous Savior, be sure to share all that you receive from Him with others  —the hope, the peace, the compassion, the forgiveness, etc. Make dining with the King of kings and Lord of lords a priority, every day.

But a time is coming and is already here when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit [from the heart, the inner self] and in truth; for the Father seeks such people to be His worshipers. God is spirit [the Source of life, yet invisible to mankind], and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.” — John 4:23-24 (AMP) True worship is more than a song we sing, and it is not confined to a Sunday, or a specific location. For those who believe in Christ and receive Him as Savior and Lord, worship is to be a lifestyle. We are to walk in a manner worthy of the God who calls us into His own kingdom and glory. (See 1 Thessalonians 2:12) Worship happens as we recognize and acknowledge that Yahweh is the only true and living God, that He is the great “I AM,” full of power and glory. In worship, we humble ourselves and surrender our will for Yahweh’s purpose and plans. True worship comes from the heart, not any external religious demands or requirements.  Our heavenly Fa

And the child grew. Now it happened one day that he went out to his father, to the reapers. And he said to his father, “My head, my head!” So he said to a servant, “Carry him to his mother.” When he had taken him and brought him to his mother, he sat on her knees till noon, and then died. — 2 Kings 4:18-20 (NKJV) The circumstances were dismal, but the Shunammite woman had faith in God, a living hope and an expectation for a different outcome. She laid her son on the bed of the man of God, shut the door, and went out. She said to her husband: “Please send me one of the young men and one of the donkeys, that I may run to the man of God and come back.” So her husband asked, “Why are you going to him today? It is neither the New Moon nor the Sabbath.” And she said, “ It is well .” (See 2 Kings 4:21-23) When she went to the man of God, Elisha’s servant, Gehazi inquired, and she answered: “ It is well. ” (See 2 Kings 4:25-26) She wasn’t looking at the current condition of her son.
