Manna for Your Morning

“This great dragon—the ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, the one deceiving the whole world—was thrown down to the earth with all his angels.” “And the dragon was angry at the woman and declared war against the rest of her children—all who keep God’s commandments and maintain their testimony for Jesus.” — Revelation 12:9, 17 (NLT) Followers of Yeshua are engaged in a war. You therefore must endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus the Christ. (See 2 Timothy 2:3) Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. (1 Peter 5:8 NKJV) For 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. (Ephesians 6:12 NLT) “ A final word: Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on all of God’s armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of t...

“I acknowledged my sin to You, and  my iniquity I did not hide; I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the LORD”; And You forgave the guilt of my sin.

He desires truth in the innermost being (See Psalms 51:6) Expose the deeds of the darkness to the light of His love, grace and mercy. Therefore having overlooked the times of ignorance, God is now declaring to men that all people everywhere should repent, (Acts 17:30).  If we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. (1 John 1:8-9 NASB1995) How blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered! How blessed is the man to whom the LORD does not impute iniquity, and in whose spirit there is...

So I strive always to keep my conscience clear before God and man. — Acts 24:16 (NIV) May we, like the Apostle Paul, always strive to keep a perfectly clear conscience before God and man. Do not be like those who continually do wrong and end up having their conscience seared with a hot iron. Those who abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits run the risk of losing their capacity for truth all together. Pursue love in all your relationships, with knowledge and all discernment, that you may be sincere and without offense till the day of Christ (Philippians 1:9-10).
