Rescued!

Grace to you and shalom from God our Father and our Lord Yeshua the Messiah— who gave Himself for our sins to rescue us from this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father— to Him be the glory forever and ever! Amen. — Galatians 1:3-5 (TLV) No matter how chaotic this world becomes, remember, Yeshua has overcome the world. In John 16:33 (NKJV) Yeshua said:  “These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” We overcome because He has overcome. “It is finished!” (See John 19:30) You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. (1 John 4:4 NKJV) For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith. Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God? (1 John 5:4-5 NKJV) Be courageous [be confident, be...

Every Good Thing

Image
I said to the LORD, “You are my Master! Every good thing I have comes from you.” — Psalm 16:2 (NLT) Every good thing given and every perfect gift comes down to us from God our Father. (See James 1:17) He has clothed us with the garments of salvation and covered us with the robe of righteousness. (See Isaiah 61:10 NKJV) He has loved His people, with an everlasting love. With unfailing love He has drawn us to Himself. (See Jeremiah 31:3 NLT) He redeems your life from destruction, and crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies. (See Psalm 103:4 NKJV) God blesses those who patiently endure testing and temptation. Afterward they will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him. (James 1:12 NLT) Be faithful to Yahweh, until death, and receive an imperishable crown, of never-ending glory and honor. (see 1 Corinthians 9:25 and 1 Peter 5:4) Now all glory to God, who is able to keep you from falling away and will bring you with great joy into his glorious pr...

Acknowledge Him

Image
In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight. — Proverbs 3:6 (NASB) May we acknowledge God in all we do and say. In the use of our time, talents, gifts, finances, etc., let us recognize and appreciate the Source. 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) God is a very gracious Giver. Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down to us from God our Father. (See James 1:17)  As we continually seek God's will in all we do, He will show us which path to take. Listen for God’s voice in everything you do, everywhere you go; he’s the one who will keep you on track. — Proverbs 3:6 (MSG)

The Perfect Gift

Whatever is good and perfect is a gift coming down to us from God our Father, who created all the lights in the heavens. He never changes or casts a shifting shadow. — James 1:17 (NLT) Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above. And JESUS is the most perfect gift of all. Receive Him. Father God has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. (1 John 4:14 TPT) God sent His only Son into the world so that we could find true life through Him (1 John 4:9 VOICE). Jesus is everything we need. He is the bread of life; he who comes to Him will not hunger, and he who believes in Him will never thirst (John 6:35). Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6). He is Wonderful Counselor. You can talk to Him 24 hours a day, every day. He is Mighty God. There is no problem too difficult for Him. He is an Everlasting Father. His love for us never fails. He always watches over and takes care of His children. Let us celebrate King Jesus, Savior of the world!

The Work of His Hand

Image
Yet, O LORD, You are our Father; We are the clay, and You our Potter, and we all are the work of Your hand. — Isaiah 64:8 (AMP) May we be pliable in the hands of the Potter. We are not our own, for we were bought with a price (the precious blood of Jesus). (1 Corinthians 6:19-20) Stop imitating the ideals and opinions of the culture around you, but be inwardly transformed by the Holy Spirit through a total reformation of how you think. This will empower you to discern God’s will as you live a beautiful life, satisfying and perfect in his eyes. (Romans 12:2 TPT) As we discern God’s will and flow with His Spirit, we will live beautiful and satisfying lives. Jesus came that we may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance [to the full, till it overflows]. (John 10:10b AMP)

Over & Out

Image
Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. — Matthew 6:9-10 (NKJV) When we submit and surrender to the Lord’s will, we can be confident that He will show us the way over every mountain and the way out of any storm. He will lead us and guide us along the best pathway, to the abundant life. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are His ways higher than our ways, and His thoughts than our thoughts. (Isaiah 55:9) “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.”   (Jeremiah 29:11 NKJV)

Our Father

Image
And he said to him, ‘Son, you have always been with me, and all that is mine is yours.’ — Luke 15:31 (NASB) The father of the prodigal son demonstrates the heart of our Father who is in heaven. He adopted us and brought us into His family. He has given us everything that pertains to life and godliness. Let us always thank the Father. He has enabled us to share in the inheritance that belongs to his people, who live in the light. (Colossians 1:12 NLT) See how great a love the Father has bestowed on us, that we would be called children of God; (1 John 3:1a NASB) That’s who we really are! Our Father is intimately acquainted with each one of us, to the degree that He knows how may hairs we have on our head. What a privilege and an honor to be named, called and chosen as children of God. Let us represent our Father and His kingdom well.

His Kingdom Come

Image
“Pray, then, in this way: ‘Our Father who is in heaven, hallowed be Your name. ‘Your kingdom come. Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. — Matthew 6:9-10 (NASB) In Jonah 1:1-3, the LORD told Jonah to go to Nineveh, but Jonah went and got on a ship going in the opposite direction, to Tarshish, to get away from the presence of the LORD. Many times we are like Jonah and go in the opposite direction from the way the LORD has instructed us to go. However, His kingdom comes each time a heart turns from following the ways of the world, or the will of the flesh and commits to doing His will. Instead of being like Jonah, let us follow after Jesus. Knowing what He was about to suffer, He said, “ Father, …nevertheless not My will, but Yours, be done. ” (Luke 22:42 NKJV) Our heavenly Father has a beautiful plan of an abundant and victorious life for each one of us. We just have to let Him show us the way.

His Prized Possession

Image
So don’t be misled, my dear brothers and sisters. Whatever is good and perfect is a gift coming down to us from God our Father, who created all the lights in the heavens. He never changes or casts a shifting shadow. He chose to give birth to us by giving us his true word. And we, out of all creation, became his prized possession. — James 1:16-18 (NLT) The Message Bible says, He brought us to life using the true Word, showing us off as the crown of all his creatures (James 1:18). The LORD has been mindful of you. He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world… (Ephesians 1:4). Every good thing and every perfect gift comes to us from our heavenly Father. He showers us with new mercies and compassions every morning. He blesses us with His peace, love and joy and most of all His Presence. Know that you are valued and treasured in our Father's eyes. Let His unfailing love draw you closer to Him.
