  DEVELOPING SPIRITUAL DISCERNMENT “For you have not received a spirit of slavery leading to fear again, but you have received a spirit of adoption as sons by which we cry out, “Abba! Father!”” — Romans 8:15  As we grow in Christ, we will grow in spiritual discernment. “But solid food is for the mature, who because of practice have their senses trained to discern good and evil.” Too many of us think our thoughts are just thoughts. But today’s verse says thoughts that produce fear are tied to a spirit.  As believers in Yeshua, we have not received a spirit of slavery leading to fear. Those thoughts that make you anxious are tied to a spirit, and you can reject them. And remember that you are not your thoughts. Having an anxious thought doesn’t mean you are afraid. God has not given you a spirit of fear, but of love and power and a sound mind—a spirit of freedom.  As we grow in grace, we will recognize the thoughts that cripple us: thoughts that bring us down to o...

  All Things Have Become New Scripture: 2 Corinthians 5:17 “ If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. ” (2 Corinthians 5:17) “ Then He who sat on the throne said, ‘Behold, I make all things new.’ And He said to me, ‘Write, for these words are true and faithful.’ ” (Revelation 21:5) Truly, we serve a God who is always doing something new! The Bible teaches that when we are born of the Spirit of God we: are qualified to share in the inheritance of the saints are delivered from the power of the evil one do not come into judgment pass from death to eternal life are transferred into a new paradigm of the kingdom of Jesus Christ in whom we have the forgiveness of sin It is a new life! However, God has not finished making all things new. The time is coming when the present earth and heavens will also pass away, and he will make a new heaven and earth. This world is passing away; the rulers and wisdom of this age are com...

  HUMBLE YOURSELF “Whoever exalts himself shall be humbled; and whoever humbles himself shall be exalted.” — Matthew 23:12 When Messiah Jesus made His grand entrance into Jerusalem, He didn’t embrace the pomp and circumstance expected of a king. Instead, Yeshua entered the Old City riding a donkey. The One who created the universe with His words chose to make His triumphal entry sitting humbly upon a donkey for all to see. This gives us an incredible insight into the nature of God. Our great Father is gentle and humble of heart, and because of this we can actually move Him. When we voluntarily choose to love Him, it warms His heart. In fact, we can actually add to Father’s happiness when we choose to please Him and put Him first. Consider that we can even make Him weep as Yeshua did after Lazarus died. We can either move Father to joy or to tears. That is God’s genius in creating you and me in His own image. Even though our God is complete and needs nothing, we can touch Him b...

  From Weakness to Son Power Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:42–44 “Our earthly bodies are planted in the ground when we die, but they will be raised to live forever. Our bodies are buried in brokenness, but they will be raised in glory. They are buried in weakness, but they will be raised in strength.   They are buried as natural human bodies, but they will be raised as spiritual bodies. For just as there are natural bodies, there are also spiritual bodies.”  (1 Corinthians 15:42–44) “ Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear! ” (Matthew 13:43) “ 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) “ But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint.”  (Isaiah 40:31) Those who embrace the  principle...

  BUILD ON THE ROCK “Everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not act on them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. The rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and it fell—and great was its fall.” — Matthew 7:26–27  Every one of us sooner or later is going to experience challenges in life, whether it’s a result of us getting older, losing a job, or having a health issue. How we handle the difficulties we face depends on the foundation our lives are built on. In Jesus’ parable about the man who built his house on the sand, Yeshua is pointing out the disastrous end that awaits anyone who doesn’t build their lives upon Him. They will be swept away, just as sand is washed away during a storm.  On the other hand, consider the outcome of the one who anchors their soul in God. “The righteous man will flourish like the palm tree, he will grow like a cedar in Lebanon. Planted in the house of the Lord, they wi...

  You Can Shine Like a Star Forever! Scripture: Daniel 12:3 “Those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the firmament, and those who turn many to righteousness like the stars forever and ever.”  (Daniel 12:3) You have the potential to be a real star for all of eternity, shining in all of the brilliance of a glorified body. Those who are engaged in turning many to righteousness will shine even more brilliantly, according to this passage and other passages of Scripture. Since the Word of God and the souls of people will be the only things to last forever, it makes sense for us to spend our  time, talent, and treasure —the three Ts—to win as many people to Jesus Christ as possible. The eternal factor, that all of the human race has to consider, is the most important decision an individual faces. It determines our  eternal destiny ! In the Proverbs we are exhorted to seek wisdom. Such wisdom includes being involved in winning souls for Christ by helping in thi...
