“And now, just as you accepted Christ Jesus as your Lord, you must continue to follow him. Let your roots grow do wn into him, and let your lives be built on him. Then your faith will grow strong in the truth you were taught, and you will overflow with thankfulness.”  — Colossians 2:6-7 (NLT) As we have received Messiah Yeshua as Lord, let us continue to walk in union with Him [reflecting His character in the things we do and say—living lives that lead others away from sin], (See Colossians 2:6 TLV & AMP). “What delight comes to the one who follows God’s ways! He won’t walk in step with the wicked, nor share the sinner’s way, nor be found sitting in the scorner’s seat. His passion is to remain true to the Word of “I AM,” meditating day and night on the true revelation of light. He will be standing firm like a flourishing tree planted by God’s design, deeply rooted by the brooks of bliss, bearing fruit in every season of life. He is never dry, never fainting, ever blessed, ever ...

Be Convinced

“ For I am convinced that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Messiah Yeshua our Lord. ” — Romans 8:38-39 (TLV) Praise Yahweh! Nothing can ever separate us from God’s amazing love. Whether we are in the realm of the living or have vacated our earthly bodies, His love is still with us. When we mess up and fall short of His will, He does not remove His love from us. Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God!  (See 1 John 3:1 NKJV) As children of God, our Father’s love never fails. Be fully convinced that nothing can take His love away from you. It is with you, at all times. Never doubt that He cares for you, with deepest affection. (See 1 Peter 5:7 AMP) In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the ...

He is Able

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)

The Expected One

Image
So the men came to Jesus and said, “John the Baptist sent us to You to ask, ‘Are You the Expected One (the Messiah), or should we look for someone else?’” — Luke 7:20 (AMP) John the Baptist was the voice of one crying in the wilderness: “Prepare the way of the LORD…” (See Matthew 3:1-3) In Matthew 3:13-14, Jesus came to John to be baptized by him and John tried to prevent Him, saying, “I need to be baptized by You, and are You coming to me?” However, as John sat in prison, he sent men to ask Jesus if He was the Expected One. In the midst of adverse circumstances, never doubt or wonder if Jesus is the One. James 1:6 says, the one who doubts is like the surf of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind. Believers stand strong in faith, trusting God in all situations. In Luke 7:22 (NASB1995), Jesus answered and said to them, “Go and report to John what you have seen and heard: the blind receive sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, the poo...

“My Lord!”

Image
“My Lord and my God!” Thomas exclaimed. — John 20:28 (NLT) Call on the name, Adonai, which means “my Lord.” In John 20:29 (NLT) Jesus replied to Thomas: “ You believe because you have seen me. Blessed are those who believe without seeing me. ” Don’t just know about God through what others tell you. Get to know Him personally, as your God. Follow Him and submit to Him with all your heart, mind and soul. The Lord God is my strength [my source of courage, my invincible army]; He has made my feet [steady and sure] like hinds’ feet and makes me walk [forward with spiritual confidence] on my high places [of challenge and responsibility]. (Habakkuk 3:19 AMP) O LORD, our Lord, how majestic and glorious and excellent is Your name in all the earth! You have displayed Your splendor above the heavens. — Psalm 8:1 (AMP)

Joy in His Presence

Image
And Nehemiah continued, “Go and celebrate with a feast of rich foods and sweet drinks, and share gifts of food with people who have nothing prepared. This is a sacred day before our LORD. Don’t be dejected and sad, for the joy of the LORD is your strength!” — Nehemiah 8:10 (NLT) This is the day which the LORD has made; Let us rejoice and be glad in it. (Psalm 118:24 NASB) In His Presence we have strength and peace. Draw near to God. Let all who seek You rejoice and be glad in You; Let those who love Your salvation say continually, “ The LORD be magnified! ” (Psalm 40:16 NASB) You will make known to me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; In Your right hand there are pleasures forever. — Psalm 16:11 (NASB)

In Every Season

Image
Be cheerful with joyous celebration in every season of life. Let joy overflow, for you are united with the Anointed One! Let gentleness be seen in every relationship, for our Lord is ever near. — Philippians 4:4-5 (TPT) Ecclesiastes 3:1 says: There is an appointed time for everything. And there is a time for every event under heaven— (NASB) Therefore, in every situation and season, let our hearts be full of gratitude, continually giving thanks to God. In every season, we are united with Christ. The Lord will lead us and guide us. In every season, He provides and He protects. Remember what God has done and look at what He is doing now. Our hearts will overflow with joy, as we believe God's Word and trust that He is working everything together for our good.

Be Fully Convinced

Image
For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. — Romans 8:38-39 (NKJV) Be fully convinced that nothing, absolutely nothing can separate us from the love God has for us. He doesn't love us from afar. He loves us up close and personal. He knows everything about us and He still loves us. No matter what adverse circumstances come our way, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us enough to give His life to save us. With God on our side like this, how can we lose?

Be Fully Convinced!

For I am convinced [and continue to be convinced—beyond any doubt] that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present and threatening, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the [unlimited] love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. — Romans 8:38-39 (AMP) No matter what lies the enemy tells you, be fully convinced that your heavenly Father loves you and that nothing, absolutely nothing, can separate you from His love. He is with you always. As a good Shepherd, He keeps watch over His sheep. You have not been forgotten or abandoned. Numerous are His thoughts toward you. He is working everything together for good in your life. You know what I am going to say even before I say it, LORD. You go before me and follow me. You place your hand of blessing on my head. (Psalm 139:4-5 NLT). Amen!

No Separation

For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. — Romans 8:38-39 (NKJV) May you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is (Ephesians 3:18 NLT). Be totally convinced that absolutely nothing can get between us and the love God has for us. His love has no boundaries. The love God lavishes on us is limitless. It comes splashing in, wave after wave. Whatever you are going through at this present time, know that God's love is surrounding you. He will work everything together for good, because He is a good, good Father!
