Manna for Your Morning

Jesus said to the people who believed in him, “You are truly my disciples if you remain faithful to my teachings. And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” — John 8:31-32 (NLT) Yeshua came into the world to testify to the truth. (See John 18:37) The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is upon Him, for the LORD has anointed Him to bring good news to the poor. He was sent to comfort the brokenhearted and to proclaim that captives will be released and prisoners will be freed. (See Isaiah 61:1) “…the Scriptures declare that we are all prisoners of sin, so we receive God’s promise of freedom only by believing in Jesus Christ.” (See Galatians 3:22 NLT) Sin is no longer your master, for you no longer live under the requirements of the law. Instead, you live under the freedom of God’s grace. (Romans 6:14 NLT) Be a true disciple of Christ and remain faithful to His teachings. May we press on to know the truth and be set free from anything or anyone that attempts to hold us captiv...

He had 700 wives of royal birth and 300 concubines. And in fact, they did turn his heart away from the LORD. In Solomon’s old age, they turned his heart to worship other gods instead of being completely faithful to the LORD his God, as his father, David, had been. — 1 Kings 11:3-4 (NLT) King Solomon loved many foreign women from the nations which the LORD had clearly instructed the people of Israel not to associate with them. He held fast to them in love. (See 1 Kings 11:1-2) Let us be very careful to whom or on what we set our affections. Never let the things of this world turn your heart away from Almighty God. May we remain completely faithful and loyal to Yahweh, all of our days, and worship Him alone. Stay true to the Most High God. For the eyes of the LORD move to and fro throughout the earth that He may strongly support those whose heart is completely His. (2 Chronicles 16:9a NASB1995)

“ Remain in Me, and I in you. Just as the branch cannot bear fruit of itself but must remain in the vine, so neither can you unless you remain in Me. I am the vine, you are the branches; the one who remains in Me, and I in him bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing. ” — John 15:4-5 (NASB1995) Jesus is the true vine, and His Father is the vinedresser. (See John 15:1) We must remain in Him in order to live abundant, fruitful lives. We can do nothing of eternal value apart from our Savior. In Jesus, the Father has provided everything we need. He empowers us to do all that He has given us to do. Jesus said to the people who believed in him, “You are truly my disciples if you remain faithful to my teachings.” (John 8:31 NLT) Faithful disciples closely follow His teachings and are led by the Holy Spirit. As believers, let us stay intimately connected to Christ and be engaged in a continual conversation with our Heavenly Father.  My soul follows close behind You; Your righ...

Jesus said to the people who believed in him, “You are truly my disciples if you remain faithful to my teachings. And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” — John 8:31-32 (NLT) In John 14:6 (NASB), Jesus said , “ I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me. ” Jesus is the truth. The only way to know the truth is to know Jesus, to have a personal, intimate relationship with the Lord of lords and the King of kings. Open your heart today and receive Him as your Savior and the Lord of your life. It’s only in knowing Jesus and all He did for us that we can truly live an abundant life of freedom, peace and joy. Amen!

When he got there and witnessed for himself God’s marvelous grace, he was enthused and overjoyed. He encouraged the believers to remain faithful and cling to the Lord with passionate hearts. — Acts 11:23 (TPT) Like Barnabas, may you too, see God’s marvelous grace at work, in the midst of your life. I encourage you to remain faithful and continually cling to the Lord. Fight the good fight, finish the race, and remain faithful. (2 Timothy 4:7 NLT) When we let truth be our guiding light, we will choose the right course of action and stay on the path that leads to everlasting life. Truth’s shining light guides me in my choices and decisions; the revelation of your word makes my pathway clear. — Psalm 119:105 (TPT)

I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, and I have remained faithful. — 2 Timothy 4:7 (NLT) In 2 Corinthians 11:25-27a (NLT), the Apostle Paul tells us about some of the challenges he went through. He says: “ Three times I was beaten with rods. Once I was stoned. Three times I was shipwrecked. Once I spent a whole night and a day adrift at sea. I have traveled on many long journeys. I have faced danger from rivers and from robbers. I have faced danger from my own people, the Jews, as well as from the Gentiles. I have faced danger in the cities, in the deserts, and on the seas. And I have faced danger from men who claim to be believers but are not. I have worked hard and long, enduring many sleepless nights. ” Through all of this the Apostle Paul, knew it was a “ good ” fight. He kept the faith and finished his race. No matter what circumstances you face today, remain faithful to the Lord Jesus Christ, fight the good fight and finish your race.
