Manna for Your Morning

John the Baptist, who was in prison, heard about all the things the Messiah was doing. So he sent his disciples to ask Jesus, “Are you the Messiah we’ve been expecting, or should we keep looking for someone else?” — Matthew 11:2-3 (NLT) You can be certain, that we don’t need to look for anyone else. Yeshua is the Messiah, our risen Savior. After John the Baptist baptized Jesus, Matthew 3:16-17 says, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting upon Him. And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” As he sat in prison, something caused John the Baptist to doubt the Word of Yahweh. Never let difficult circumstances cause you to doubt. Yeshua is the only way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Him. (See John 14:6)

Jesus said to him, “I am the [only] Way [to God] and the [real] Truth and the [real] Life; no one comes to the Father but through Me. — John 14:6 (AMP) So Jesus was saying to those Jews who had believed Him, “If you continue in My word, then you are truly My disciples; and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” (John 8:31-32 NASB) If we want to know real truth, we must follow Yeshua, and continue in His Word. The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. Yeshua came that we may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance [to the full, till it overflows]. (See John 10:10 AMP)

Yeshua said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life! No one comes to the Father except through Me. — John 14:6 (TLV) There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death. “You can rationalize it all you want and justify the path of error you have chosen, but you’ll find out in the end that you took the road to destruction.” (Proverbs‬ ‭14‬:‭12‬ ‭NKJV & TPT‬‬) Yeshua said He was THE way to the Father. He didn’t say He was one of many ways to Abba Father. Do not be deceived, Yeshua is the only way to the Father. We have seen and testify that the Father has sent His Son as Savior of the world. (1 John 4:14 TLV)  Yeshua, our Messiah is the truth. In John 8:32 (TLV) Yeshua says:  “You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free!” Yeshua has set us free from the law of sin and death. (See Romans 8:2) The truth of the LORD endures forever. (See Psalms 117:2 NKJV) Choose the way of truth. Yeshua is the resurrection and the life! In Him we are ...

Yeshua said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life! No one comes to the Father except through Me. — John 14:6 (TLV) When you don’t know what to do, just keep following Yeshua. He is the only way to truth and life. Grace and truth came through Yeshua the Messiah. (See John 1:17 TLV) In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. (John 1:4 NKJV) He gives life to the world. (See John 6:33) In John 8:12 (TLV), Yeshua said: “I am the light of the world. The one who follows Me will no longer walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.” (John 3:36 NKJV) He is the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Him, though he may die, he shall live. (See John 11:25 NKJV)

And it happened that while He was praying alone, the disciples were with Him, and He questioned them, saying, “Who do the people say that I am?” — Luke 9:18 (NASB1995) First Jesus asked His disciples “ Who do the people say that I am? ” Then, He asked them: “But who do you say that I am?” (See Luke 9:20) We can listen to what others say about Jesus, but it is a matter of life and death, for us to know Who He is for ourselves, to have that one-to-One, intimate relationship with Him. Peter answered and said He is “The Christ of God.” Luke 9:56 says, He is the Son of Man who did not come to destroy men’s lives but to save them. In John 4:25-26, He is the Messiah, who is called Christ. In John 1:29, He is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! In John 10:7, He is the Door (or gate) for the sheep leading to life. In John 10:11, Jesus is the good Shepherd, Who gives His life for the sheep. In Job 19:25, He is the living Redeemer, Who will take His stand on the earth. In John 1...

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” — John 14:6 (NKJV) Jesus is the only Way to God, the Father. When we follow the world’s ways, or fleshly, selfish, desires, we end up taking detours away from God’s will and falling into deep, dark ditches or going down dead-end roads, that leave us feeling empty and hopeless. The ways of the LORD are higher than our ways, let us take the higher way (See Isaiah 55:8-9), and draw near to God. Jesus is the truth, and His name is called The Word of God (See Revelation 19:13). John 8:32 says: “you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” We experience freedom when we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior and grow in our knowledge of Him as the living Word of God. May we continually be led by the light and truth of God's Word. (See Psalm 43:3) Jesus is the life. John 1:14 (NLT) says: The Word gave life to everything that was created, and his life brought light to ever...

“ …And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age. ” — Matthew 28:20b (NLT) Jesus is Immanuel, “ God with us .” (Matthew 1:23). He is all we need. If we hunger and thirst, Jesus is the Bread of Life and the Living Water. When bound by lies and deception, Jesus is the truth that sets us free. In times of sickness, Jesus is the great Physician. And by His stripes we are healed (Isaiah 53:5). When we are perplexed or confused, Jesus is the Way, follow Him. When anxious and fearful thoughts come, Jesus is the Prince of Peace. In the midst of the battle, we can raise a banner of victory, because  victory belongs to the LORD! (Proverbs 21:31) Therefore as you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him,  (Colossians 2:6 NASB)

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!

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!

He must increase, but I must decrease. — John 3:30 (NKJV) John the Baptist was the one sent ahead of the Messiah to prepare the way for him. (John 3:28 NCV)  Before John the Baptist was conceived the angel of the Lord told his father, Zacharias that John will be a great man for the Lord. He will never drink wine or beer, and even from birth, he will be filled with the Holy Spirit, He will help many people of Israel return to the Lord their God. (Luke 1:13-16 NCV) We are here for such a time as this and we too can be great men and women for the Lord, as we live our lives being led by the Holy Spirit. We can help others turn to the Lord, by becoming less. May it be our daily goal to decrease, so He can increase, in our hearts and minds and on this earth.

In Luke 7:20 (TPT) John’s disciples asked Jesus, “ Are you the coming Messiah we’ve been expecting, or are we to continue to look for someone else? ” Isaiah 9:6 (NASB) says: For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us; and the government will rest on His shoulders; And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace . JESUS is the ONE. He is the way, the truth, and the life.  No need to look to any other. The Son of Man is enthroned in the place of honor, power, and authority with Almighty God. (Luke 22:69 TPT). So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most. — Hebrews 4:16 NLT

Walk straight—live well and be saved; a devious life is a doomed life. — Proverbs 28:18 (MSG) In order to live well, we need to walk in the way of wisdom. Wisdom will add years to your life. You are the one who will profit if you have wisdom, and if you reject it, you are the one who will suffer. (Proverbs 9:11-12  GNT) To be wise you must first have reverence for the LORD. If you know the Holy One, you have understanding. (Proverbs 9:10 GNT) The [reverent] fear of the LORD [that is, worshiping Him and regarding Him as truly awesome] is the beginning and the preeminent part of wisdom [its starting point and its essence], (Proverbs 9:10a AMP) Let us wisely choose to trust and follow the LORD.

Your own ears will hear him. Right behind you a voice will say, “This is the way you should go,” whether to the right or to the left. — Isaiah 30:21 (NLT) In the midst of adversity and affliction, may we look unto Jesus, our Champion and listen for His voice. Jesus said, His sheep recognize His voice and they follow Him because they know His voice. They won't follow a stranger because they don’t know his voice. (John 10:3-5) Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. (John 4:6)  When we give attention to God, He leads us out into the open, into a spacious, free life. In the Messiah, in Christ, God leads us from place to place in one perpetual victory parade. (2 Corinthians 2:14 MSG) Choose life. Choose to follow Jesus, in good times and bad, through the storms and in the fiery furnace, knowing you are on your way to a glorious place.

And a cloud came and overshadowed them; and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is My beloved Son. Hear Him!” — Mark 9:7 (NKJV) Let us hear Jesus. In John 14:1, Jesus said “ Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. ” Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. (John 14:6) When we believe in Him, we can abide in everlasting peace. In John 14:27 Jesus said, “ Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. ” In John 16:33, He goes on to say, “ In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world .” When He hung on the cross, in John 19:30, Jesus said, “ It is finished! ” May we hear Jesus, and continually walk with Him, taking each step by faith, no matter where He may lead us, knowing that Jesus has already accomplished victory for us.

Your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, “This is the way, walk in it,” whenever you turn to the right hand or whenever you turn to the left. — Isaiah 30:21 (NKJV) Be careful whose voice you listen to. Listening to the world, will lead you down the wrong path which leads to darkness, depression and death. However, your heavenly Father will lead along the path that leads to life, and life more abundantly. In John 10:27, Jesus said, “ My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. ” Let us turn the volume down on the world, and tune in to the voice of the Holy Spirit, who dwells within us. Then once we hear His voice, let us be sure to follow His instruction. The steps of a [good and righteous] man are directed and established by the LORD, and He delights in his way [and blesses his path]. (Psalm 37:23 AMP)

“Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.” — Matthew 7:14 (NKJV) Jesus tells us the path that leads the way to everlasting life is difficult. In Matthew 6:34b (NASB), He says, “Each day has enough trouble of its own.” John 16:33a (NLT) says, “Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows.” So, dear friends, don’t be surprised at the fiery trials you are going through, as if something strange were happening to you. (1 Peter 4:12) Friends, when life gets really difficult, don’t jump to the conclusion that God isn’t on the job. (1 Peter 4:12 MSG) The good news is that Jesus has already gained the victory for us. Our battles belong to the LORD. Cast your cares on Him and trust God. Jesus said, “… in Me you may have peace. ” He goes on to say, “… be of good cheer, I have overcome the world .” — John 16:33 (NKJV)

The people who walk in darkness will see a great light. For those who live in a land of deep darkness, a light will shine. — Isaiah 9:2 (NLT) On your darkest day, cast your eyes on our Savior and Champion, Christ Jesus. No need to walk around in darkness and gloom, when we have Jesus. He is the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6). Like a lighthouse, He will guide you along in the storm and lead you to a safe harbor. Jesus spoke to the people once more and said, “I am the light of the world. If you follow me, you won’t have to walk in darkness, because you will have the light that leads to life.” (John 8:12 NLT) “ I have come as Light into the world, so that everyone who believes and trusts in Me [as Savior—all those who anchor their hope in Me and rely on the truth of My message] will not continue to live in darkness. ”  (John 12:46 AMP)  Arise, shine; For your light has come! And the glory of the LORD is risen upon you. (Isaiah 60:1 NKJV)

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. — Hebrews 13:8 (NKJV) In a world that is constantly changing, we have One that remains the same. Jesus is the good Shepherd (John 10:11); He is always good. Jesus is the way, the truth and the life (John 14:6). He is the answer to every challenge you face. Trust Him to show you the way. Jesus loved us so much He gave His life for us, and He still loves us today and will love us forever. Jesus overcame the world (John 16:33) and we have the greater One dwelling inside of us. So we can be of good cheer because He has given us the victory!

I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you. — Psalm 32:8 (NIV) When we don't know which way to go, we have God’s Holy Spirit to lead us and guide us.  His still small voice inside of you will guide you along the best pathway for your life. (Psalm 32:8 NLT) We also have His Word, which is a lamp to our feet and a light to our path. (Psalm 119:105 NKJV). God’s Holy Spirit in you and His Word is the best GPS system. Be led by His Spirit and He will get you exactly where you need to be.

But as for your donkeys that were lost three days ago, do not be anxious about them, for they have been found…  — 1 Samuel 9:20 (NKJV) Saul and his servant went from town to town searching for his fathers lost donkeys. (1 Samuel 9:3-4). Then they decided to see the man of God, so he could tell them which way to go. When they came to the prophet, Samuel told Saul his donkeys were found before Saul had a chance to ask him. What are you anxiously searching for, in place after place or person after person? Whatever you have lost, you will find exactly what you need in our heavenly Father. He is the ultimate Provider. If you are looking for love, peace, joy or hope, look no further. It is found in Jesus. He is our hope and joy. He brings healing and wholeness. He fills our hearts with His love and peace. Jesus is the Way! Be found in Him today.
