Walk in the Light!

Walk in the Light

But if we walk in the Light as He Himself is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.
— 1 John 1:7

To walk in the Light is to constantly reach out to Jesus. As we follow Yeshua, the Light of the world, we will be cleansed of our sin through His blood, the living Word, and the Spirit. As a result, we will find ourselves being brought into deeper and deeper communion with God. 

It’s the concept of similarity and dissimilarity at work. Consider, for example, an elephant and a mouse. They have nothing in common. They are dissimilar and have no relational connection. But an elephant and another elephant can be in relationship because they’re alike. In fact, elephant mothers train their young to survive. Similarly, as we reach out to Jesus and He cleanses us of sin, we are being transformed into His image and actually become His friends. Yeshua said, “No longer do I call you slaves…but I have called you friends.” The more we become like Jesus, the closer we will feel to Him and the more satisfying our relationship with God will be. It is not enough just to know God in heaven; we must also know Him from within. As we are transformed into His likeness, we experience unity with the One who is the treasure of life and the fountain of many waters.

Stay in Balance!

  Then Jesus said, “Let’s go off by ourselves to a quiet place and rest awhile.” He said this because there were so many people coming and going that Jesus and his apostles didn’t even have time to eat. Mark 6:31 Stay in Balance Everywhere Jesus went, He was healing people, teaching in the synagogues, pouring Himself into His disciples. People made constant demands on His time and energies. Imagine how He felt. As the Son of God, He had this incredible power, anointing, wisdom, so much to offer. Yet at times, when He was exhausted, He would go away from the crowds and get alone so He could be refreshed. Despite the pressing needs around Him, Jesus knew that He had to take care of His temple.  If the Son of God had to be alone and rest, if He couldn’t meet all the demands of the people around Him, why do we think we can go all the time and be everything for everyone? No matter how anointed, strong, smart, or gifted you are, you get depleted. Despite all the needs around you, yo...

Give Cheerfully!

        Give Cheerfully “Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”  (2 Corinthians 9:7) When giving is done with the right attitude, it can be a gateway for God to move in significant ways in our lives. It is important to remember that it is not the amount we give that matters so much as it is the attitude that characterizes our giving. God loves it when we give out of a cheerful and grateful heart. God’s loving of a cheerful giver results in God taking action in our lives. Scripture states unequivocally that God will make all spiritual and earthly blessing abound to us so we can multiply our efforts for the kingdom. This is why I believe giving provides a major gateway for God to work in our lives, we can expect God to visit us. Jesus will fellowship with the cheerful giver, and the Holy Spirit will impart life to out mortal bodies. When we weave a pattern of giving...
