Fathers Day

Happy Fathers day to all the dads.  G-d is the supreme example of  a caring father.  Our heavenly Father never leaves us nor forsakes us.  All his rules are for our good that we may lead peaceable, contented lives. May you all care for your children in such a way.

Singing with Power

"It came even to pass, as the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the L-RD: and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of musick, and praised the L-RD saying, For he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever: that then the house was filled with a cloud, even the house of the L-RD;" IIChronicles5:13

Persecution

Have you noticed the believing community in the USA views persecution as a dirty word? Somehow the flesh has come to expect the blessings of G-d as one's right and anyone interrupting those blessing is anti-G-d. and headed to hell. ( A lot of people that don't interrupt G-d's blessings is headed for hell. It is very normal for people to be headed for hell. It is abnormal for people to be headed for heaven)

It has been said everywhere in the world is experiencing revival except the USA. You can also see everywhere in the world is experiencing persecution except the USA.

There is a Bible principle about persecution found in Exodus. The Jews were being persecuted by Pharaoh. The Jews did not worship the many gods of the Gentiles. Pharaoh did not want them to become more than the people of the land so Pharaoh afflicted them including having the male newborns killed as soon as they were born.(the wicked practice of abortion is not new) The Bible states "But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied." Exodus 1:12 Affliction or persecution brings about people coming to know the L-rd Yeshua (Jesus) as their Redeemer.

We see this same principle in The New Covenant when believing Jews were persecuted at Jerusalem and scattered because of the persecution, causing the word of G-d to spread. This caused Christians to multiply.

As people are being persecuted in other places they are showing love to their tormentors and giving a witness of G-d's grace that bring non believers to the L-rd himself. OH, to have such love, to think of others first, the lost and unbelieving. To want what is best for the tormentor more than what would be convenient for oneself. To be willing to suffer for the good of the lost as Yeshua suffered for the good of all. I pray I would look to Yeshua, the author and finisher of my faith in such times and lift him up so others could be drawn unto him. Wouldn't you want to have G-d's power and grace to do that also? To be able to put Yeshua first in life is a goal worth striving for.

How much money is enough?

How much money is enough for you to make or have? Is just a little bit more always in your thoughts? Some people spend their whole lives gathering money and are very good at it.
The Bible has a question ""For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?" Mark 8:36 The answer is , there is no profit . Money will not spare a person from judgement of G-d.
Only by humbling ourselves, repenting of our rebellion against G-d and faith toward our L-Rd Yeshua will we have true profit that will never be taken away from us or lost.

No Fear

Do you notice the world changing rather dramatically everywhere you look? Many people are full of fear. Seems we fear according to how circumstances affect us and circumstances affect us according to how well prepared we are.  Recession- no fear if one has lived below their means, saved, and has no debt . World events- no fear if one knows that "...the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the basest of men." (Daniel 4:17:b)  Death- no fear if one is prepared to stand before a just and holy G-d in the righteousness of His Anointed One ("...shall my righteous servant justify many, for he shall bear their iniquities." Isaiah 53:11b) and not in one's own righteousness. (But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags;...Isaiah 64:6a) How well prepared are we? Only by trusting in the shed blood of the Messiah can we have no fear "For G-d hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind." (II Timothy 1:7) 

Why America is in Trouble

"The fear of the L-RD is the beginning of knowledge; but fools despise wisdom and instruction." Proverbs 1:7

That verse defines the beginning of knowledge and explains what a fool hates but then in Proverbs 8:13 the fear of the L-rd is defined.

"The fear of the L-RD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate."

Everything that America stands for today is what G-d hates. This is why America is in trouble. We do not fear G-d. America is become a fool.

There is hope. It is for us individually and as a nation to fear G-d. This is where knowledge starts.

The Believers Passover, another thought about Passover

Hach Sameach lePasach that is as much as I can remember and hope it is close. I was trying to say Happy Passover. Tonight is the beginning of Passover. For the Redeemed believer in Messiah our Passover is explained in I Corinthians 5:7"Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ( Messiah) our passover is sacrificed for us: Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth."

We can enjoy Passover as we remember The Messiah's sacrifice for us. His blood was shed for the remission of sins. Praise G-d we can be cleansed and made right with the Eternal G-d of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob by the shed blood of the perfect Lamb of G-d.

Have a blessed Passover.
