HOLIDAY MESSAGE OF JESUS CHRIST !

Holliday Message of Jesus Christ 

John 3:16

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

Shalom and Good Morning 

I wanted to be able to send a message of what this means this time of year as we spend time together and away from those we love, we work with and even with those we may not like. 

The interesting thing Holiday is rooted in two words HOLY and Day. These two particular words are rooted in the Old and new testaments of the bible. 

The word Holy is being defined as only something that belongs to GOD and our mission in life to submit ourselves to GOD of the Bible to set ourselves apart of everything that is not of GOD to be HOLY. 

1st Peter 1:16 - Because it is written, “You shall be holy (set apart), for I am holy.”

The word day is also rooted biblically in the book of Genesis when the night and day were first set apart calling day one, two, three, etc. It was Moses who first wrote the day was set apart and how God set each one day and night making the distinction between the two giving us a way to set apart time.

Genesis 1:15- And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

Christmas is a fun and joyous time that all in the USA and around the world celebrate to give gifts, time off, be with family and friends, to come together and recharge from the cares of everyday life. 

I recall as my days in the active military, being far from home, and spending time with people whom I just met, over these days and times. 

At that Time, I only really acknowledged the Jewish Festivals and related Christmas as just another nice time, while enjoying good food and people around me, without any deeper meaning or understanding. 

There were times throughout the years, I was able to get home to be with family, as a single person, away in the military, and how I enjoyed coming home especially to Miami, Florida. Leaving the cold blustering weather of places like upstate New York and Alaska.  I even recall getting together with some of my former high school friends to go to the beach and play a very hard touch football game. 

Now the meaning of this time of year, has taken on a great deal of understanding. It is to enjoy life and what God has given and being thankful of all those past experiences, but also to bring Good News of what it all means to those who may not understand it and looking forward too. Especially in a time when the news of the day is full of political fighting and fears of a virus that is knocking at your door. 

Lately during these times of worries and fears, I always relate to the scriptures that seem to me to be foundational. That God himself allows rain to fall on both the righteous and the unrighteous equally. He allows us to experience both good and bad in the world equally for his divine purposes. It is to bring us closer to HIM, to be HOLY and set apart to HIM. 

As we submit ourselves to GOD and the Gift of his redemption through Jesus Christ, it is a reminder that HE also is jealous for us and set us apart from those who turn from HIM as well. As we acknowledge these things it is our job to bring this good news of redemption to those who have chosen a path of being lost so that we ALL may enjoy the Gift of Jesus Christ in one accord. 

ACTS 1:14 With one accord they all continued in prayer , along with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus ,and with His Brothers.

The Gift of Jesus Christ is an easy gift as is free to all at any point in your life. It is to open your heart sincerely to HIM in your prayer to acknowledge Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. Asking for your sins to forgiven and to pray for help to placed on a path of righteousness that only God can give and lead us to. 

ISAIAH 9:6 - For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given, and the government will be upon His shoulders. And He will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

I pray that all who has read this message to please share as you may like and if you need prayer, a bible, guidance, please feel free to contact me. I pray you discover this season of Holiday and Christmas in greater way this year. Amen!

The Rightous Path or the Hatred of YHVH

Shalom and Good morning 

Was thinking of you this morning when reading my scriptures . Today's scripture verse is simple :

Proverbs 14 verse 2

"Those who follow the right path ( Godly/ Biblical ) fear the Lord ; those who take the wrong path ( sinful ) despise Him ( God ) . 

This verse is simple and its because when you choose  on a daily moment to moment basis your choice is simple. Is it of God or not ? The scripture says when you Choose  the Godly path , you revear or fear God; when you don't, you hate God. It's that simple. It's black or white there is no grey area or line. It's one or the other . 

Do we choose to sin or not ?

You have to ask and be truthful with yourself because one day, you alone will have to give an account of your life before the King of Kings. There will be no excuses . 

Sin can be a huge one like sex before marriage or a small one like leaving work early when no one is looking and still getting paid . 

Today is a new day in the Messiah ( Jesus Christ's), his mercies are new, be Glad in them . Choose the king of life today ! Amen !

Bible Truths

Shalom and Good Morning 

Some spiritual food for thought this morning .

Amid a very turbulent year this past year and the embarking of a new US Presidential administration , as people, who are called as followers of Yeshua,  its important to know some fundamental truths . 

Biblical truth number 1.

         Regardless of your political view we are citizens of Gods kingdom first.

The bible tells us ( Psalm 2 )  that the kingdoms of this world will rage against God and his kingdom . It matters not how you feel of this election or who you voted for, they all become void under heaven when the time comes  of the return of Yeshua and His reign ( Revelation 22 / Isaiah 9).

Biblical truth number 2 

During this time frame of a pandemic and a tumultuous time we're living in ,with the riots and protests,  with all the manipulation going on in our government,  in our society, the fact remains , in the book of Isaiah  chapter 5 we are told that in the latter days the good will be called evil and evil will be called good. It should be no surprise to us. What this should do as we see laws change, the societal Norms of what is Wicked to be called good and the good things of what is righteous and godly to be called hate and Evil, these things should open our eyes and grow us closer to God. We should be spending more and more time  in God's word and prayer with God, Meditating about his precepts what he wants for our life and how we should be directed by him

Fundamental Truth 3

It's important to know and understand that we have been created for  a Godly purpose. It doesn't matter what you or believe or what you know , we have no control over the fact that we were created and one day we will have an end here in this world. (Genesis 1;27 / 6;3 )

So regardless of your concept of time ,it is short, precious and  invaluable. Each moment is new, we can't get it back, it's important to not waste time. ITS important to know and understand God's love, mercy AND grace. Especially when it comes to the time that we are given. Time moves on, we should too we should not dwell on the moment past, don't worry about the moment future, but be thankful for the moment present. Mathew 6fundamental truth 3So to summarize Solomon it's all vain without God. {PSALM 127}

            Fundamental Truth 4 

Just remember the world will hate you because because the world has hated him first. ( John 15 )

Just as the world has always hated the Jews first because they were the chosen people to bring forth the word of God. It is the same for the the Christ follower. A true follower of Christ will be A peculiar and set apart person for God and to be prepared,  for tomorrow is not promised, and  do not know the day and time of the rapture or physical death.

Last biblical Truth is the word Amen! (Hebrew word means " so be it  “ has no gender identification)
