The Law Leads Us to Grace!

By

  The Law Leads Us to Grace “Because by the works of the Law no flesh will be justified in His sight; for through the Law comes the knowledge of sin.” — Romans 3:20 Reflection Beloved, God’s Law and God’s grace really do go hand in hand. God intended all along that the Law would draw people to Him. Remember, His desire has always been for relationship with His people. In His sovereign wisdom, God knew that it would take the Law for His people to experience Him more, even when they disobeyed. How is that possible? How could people experience God more through trying to obey commandments they could not keep? The Law itself calls people to grace! The Law causes us to recognize that we cannot live up to God’s holy call upon our lives in our own strength. Through the Law we recognize our own weakness and are confronted with our desperate need for grace and mercy. The Pharisees and religious leaders of Jesus’ time were living proof that as soon as we think we are experts at following God’...

Son Power Grows Within Us to Possess our Entire Life!

  Son Power Grows Within Us to Possess Our Entire Life Scripture: Mark 4:30–32, NKJV “To what shall we liken the kingdom of God? Or with what parable shall we picture it? It is like a mustard seed which, when it is sown on the ground, is smaller than all the seeds on earth; but when it is sown, it grows up and becomes greater than all herbs, and shoots out large branches, so that the birds of the air may nest under its shade. ”  (Mark 4:30–32, NKJV) Those who do not have a relationship with God reject the principles of the kingdom of God. Satan, the god of this present age, the prince of the power of the air, does not want us to think about eternal matters. He only wants us to devote our time, talent, and treasure to the consumable things of this life which will have no value in eternity. However, when  Son Power  takes root in the heart of one who receives Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior, that person begins to experience transformation into a new crea...

Draw Near To Yeshua through Serving!

By

  Draw Near to Yeshua Through Serving “His mouth is full of sweetness. And he is wholly desirable. This is my beloved and this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem.” — Song of Songs 5:16 Reflection In the Song of Songs, we find a beautiful picture of our relationship with Messiah Yeshua through the love between a young woman, known as the Shulamite, and her beloved. After suffering rejection and mistreatment while searching for him, the young woman begins praising her beloved to a group of women called the daughters of Jerusalem. She describes his beauty, strength, and excellence with such passion that their perspective completely changes. Instead of questioning why she continues to pursue him, they now want to find him too! They ask, “Where has your beloved gone, O most beautiful among women? Where has your beloved turned, that we may seek him with you?” (Song of Songs 6:1). The Shulamite, this spiritual picture of the church, has the power to lift Jesus up in such a way as to c...

Think HIMpossible!

  Think HIMpossible Scripture: Matthew 19:26, NKJV “Jesus looked at them and said to them, ‘With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.’” (Matthew 19:26, NKJV) “Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and His ways past finding out!”  (Romans 11:33, NKJV) We don’t need to live in this world very long to come to the realization that there are circumstances, life events, and needs that far exceed our capacity to adequately deal with them successfully. In fact, at times there is so much facing us that we feel life is impossible. We need help in our everyday living. Thank God for  Son Power ! Many passages in the Bible tell us how great the counsel of God is and how mighty he is in his works. Since he is the God of all things, nothing is too hard for him. To help us in our everyday living, we need to think “Himpossible” rather than that the situations in our lives are impossible. No one can ...

Trust Gid With Tomorrow!

  Trust God With Tomorrow “But You, O LORD, are a shield about me, My glory, and the One who lifts my head.” — Psalm 3:3 Reflection Beloved, in order for us to walk with God more intimately, we must believe that God is reigning in our circumstances each and every day. He is paying attention to the details of our lives, and He is not going to leave us alone. When Jacob was sleeping with his head on a rock, he had a dream in which he saw a ladder reaching from earth to heaven, with angels of God ascending and descending upon it. When he woke up, he said, “Surely the LORD is in this place, and I did not know it” (Genesis 28:16). What place was he referring to? The very place where he was lying. God was with him in his life, in his circumstances, right there, here and now. Through this experience, Jacob gained the confidence to know that he wasn’t alone. We must make up our minds to trust God, regardless of what is taking place around us. God is our shield. But there is a battle that t...

Perishable to Imperishable!

By

  Perishable to Imperishable Scripture: 2 Corinthians 5:14–15, NKJV “The love of Christ compels us, because we judge thus: that if One died for all, then all died; and He died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again.”  (2 Corinthians 5:14–15, NKJV) The love of Christ compels us! He died for us and rose again to give us right standing with God, not only to provide our way to heaven, but also to save us to do good works while we are still in this world. He has gone ahead of us to prepare a place for us, and he is coming back to receive us, so we can be with him. All of this motivates and enables us to take up our assigned places in his earthly kingdom to do his will until he comes to take us home. What does this mean? It means that we are so compelled by his love that we want to make sure his transforming power is at work in us, enabling us to convert the perishable things of this world into the imperishable...

Finding Peace From Within!

  Finding Peace From Within “Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you.” — John 14:27 Beloved, Father God wants to fill us with His shalom, His peace. In Ephesians 3:16, the apostle Paul prayed that we would be strengthened with power through God’s Spirit in our inner man. The Hebrew word for spirit is  ruach , which also means breath. After Yeshua had been raised from the dead, He appeared to His disciples and said, “Peace be with you; as the Father has sent Me, I also send you.” Then Messiah breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit” (John 20:21–22). Still today, Yeshua is breathing His life into His bride, the people who belong to Him, through His Spirit. This is why the Bible says we are partakers of His divine nature (2 Peter 1:4). His divine nature has been and is being imparted into our lives. When Jesus breathed on His disciples and said, “Peace be with you,” He was speaking into their inner man, rooting and groun...
