What do you see in the mirror ?

Genesis 1:26  Complete Jewish Bible (CJB)

Parashah 1: B’resheet (In the beginning) 1:26

Then God said, “Let us make humankind in our image, in the likeness of ourselves; and let them rule over the fish in the sea, the birds in the air, the animals, and over all the earth, and over every crawling creature that crawls on the earth.”

Shalom My Friends:

Food for your soul this morning.  Years ago a Jehovah witness used this scripture above and to say that their was no way GOD himself could  be three yet one. He tried to disprove the trinity ,also stating their were flaws to the translation that we read.

I wanted to learn for myself what was this argument over the trinity about but what I got out of it was so much more then understanding the trinity, so I wanted to share the revelation.

It was interesting in the argument brought and  I wanted to understand further.  What did GOD mean when uses words like  “US, OUR, Ourselves?”

Rashi comments and states it the following  way:

http://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/111831/jewish/Rabbi-Shlomo-Yitzchaki-Rashi.htm

 in our image: "in our form."

בצלמנו: בדפוס שלנו:

after our likeness: "to understand and to discern."

כדמותנו: להבין ולהשכיל:

However strongs concordandance H587 uses  “ourselves “ from the Hebrew word

http://www.blueletterbible.org/lang/lexicon/lexicon.cfm?strongs=H587

אֲנַחְנוּ – anachnuw: the meaning to this word is first person singular.

So as the scripture reads; GOD is talking about himself  using first person singular and not using words like “me or I.”

Strongs concordance H6663  צָדַק- tsadaq defines it with words of “justice, righteousness, pious, truth, innocent.

So if we would wanted to expound on the scripture this way:    Genesis 1:26

"Then God said, “Let us make humankind in justice, righteousness and in truth, all of WHO I AM, in the likeness of ourselves; and let them rule over the fish in the sea, the birds in the air, the animals, and over all the earth, and over every crawling creature that crawls on the earth.”

You see your are made in the most love that a creator can make you in, You are able to be all of the Characteristics of who God called you to be. You were not made in in evil wickedness. We have to make efforts in choosing different paths; one can be for destruction and one can be for righteousness.

As for the trinity: God is Spirit, He is Holy, He is a Creator, He is our Father, He is The living Word, which is the same yesterday, today and everlasting which was made flesh in Yeshua Ha-moshiach (Jesus Christ) which is all Three yet One (echad אֶחָד).

God commands us to be Holy. We are made in his likeness and  His image of all that He is from today to everlasting. I pray that you read this today and be sharpened by it, to set your goal(s) on being just that in HIM. He made it possible for you and me. 

1 Peter 1:16

For the Scriptures say, "You must be holy because I am holy."

Leviticus 11:44

For I am the LORD your God. You must consecrate yourselves and be holy, because I am holy. So do not defile yourselves with any of these small animals that scurry along the ground.

In closing, you are a reflection of the GOD in his likeness when you look in the mirror as we seek him and turn from sin. That is who He made us to be! I pray that this word is food for your spirit and a blessing. Amen!

Everyday is a NEW DAY. Spend it wisely!

Verily, the kindnesses of the Lord never cease! Indeed, His mercies never fail!
They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness.
"The Lord is my portion," says my soul; "therefore I will hope in Him."  Lamentation 3;22-24

Shalom Everyone;

Just wanted to wish everyone a good morning and day.

 As I think about my life and reflect on all the good and the bad that has happened in and how I have acted and reacted. Through all of this we have the power to choose how that day is going to be for us.

Each day that we live and breath is a new day to us, we don’t know how that day will play out, However, we could have an idea, if we examine the seeds that we plant in each of our day(s). The seeds that we plant will grow. They will be harvested.

Personally, I do have some good seeds that I have planted and I do bare those fruits. Fortunately and unfortunately, the bad seeds that we plant will also grow and also be harvested.  These are those things that we look back and wished we never chose. Sometimes we don’t even know those seeds we planted were bad seeds that grew and all of a sudden sprung up. The reason for this is because we are not looking at the bigger picture. We only see what is right in front of us and not down the road.

It’s hard to look at ourselves in a mirror and realize that we have failed in many ways to look at each day as a precious gift of GOD. We take TIME for granted. Time often comes and goes so quickly we don’t know what has happened.

However, GOD our Father in Heaven (YHVH / יְהֹוָה) sees all of our steps, our motives, our actions. He sees that we don’t truly understand our decisions we make in life.  He is the Eternal existing one who is ever present in everything.

Our Blind faith in GOD is truly not so blind! If we make the choice to observe and obey his word in the Bible, pray for clarity and communion with him, share what has been revealed to us from the lessons we have learned and how GOD is in everything we do, then we start to understand his ways, love and compassion. We understand and revere Him. We understand that our choices without him is in truth is really blind. It is really a gamble. We actually have no real promise of its outcome.

I Hope and pray that your day is Blessed and you choose HIM the one who Gave you today the life you have. Jesus Christ, is GOD’S promise of redemption. He paved our way back to the father.  I pray you will accept HIM today! IF you already have then I pray you renew your vow to HIM today. Amen!

If anyone who needs a bible, please get a hold of me and I will send you one as a gift. Please see the salvation link to taking your steps to salvation, if you haven’t already done so. Please call or write for anything, prayer, help or just to talk. We as believer are here to build up and sharpen each other as the scriptures state “ as iron sharpens iron.”

GOD Loves you and is waiting for you daily!  Amen!

In Service to HIM

Shalom

Be still and Know He is GOD!

Luke 17;10-19

Even so on your part, when you have done everything that was assigned and commanded you, say, We are unworthy servants [possessing no merit, for we have not gone beyond our obligation]; we have [merely] done what was our duty to do. As He went on His way to Jerusalem, it occurred that [Jesus] was passing [along the border] between Samaria and Galilee. And as He was going into one village, He was met by ten lepers, who stood at a distance. And they raised up their voices and called, Jesus, Master, take pity and have mercy on us! And when He saw them, He said to them, Go [at once] and show yourselves to the priests. And as they went, they were cured and made clean. Then one of them, upon seeing that he was cured, turned back, [c]recognizing and thanking and praising God with a loud voice; And he fell prostrate at Jesus’ feet, thanking Him [over and over]. And he was a Samaritan.Then Jesus asked, Were not [all] ten cleansed? Where are the nine? Was there no one found to return and to [d]recognize and give thanks and praise to God except this alien? And He said to him, Get up and go on your way. Your faith (your trust and confidence that spring from your belief in God) has restored you to health.

Shalom My Friends :

I hope all is well with you in The Lord Jesus Christ. There is so much going on and everything is happening so very quickly. I wanted to put together an updated blog post about what is going on in the world with us in the Church and the Bride of Christ. 

However, God has been working through many to get his word out , so as I read , pray, study and search for his words , God has been getting out what is important for us to understand. 

The important thing God is still reaching his people in all sorts of ways and he wants us to slow down, stop what we we are doing to Hear HIS still small voice and Know he is GOD. 

The reason I state this is due to the career God has called me from and into. When I was in the Secret Service my life evolved around the their needs not Gods. I worked many long hours and protected the most powerful people in the world. Although I would continue to read my scriptures and pray, it was a hard lifestyle to continue in and still heed the words of the Lord. Many of us surround our lifestyles around everything else first and the Lords words are 2nd instead of it being the other way around. This is how we as believers in Christ become distracted. With that being said, Im attaching 2 links of 2 different you- tube videos that I believe are powerful and passionate in the Lord Jesus Christ with great understanding , teaching and revelation. Please take the time to listen to both the videos, I promise you will be blessed to do so. 

The first video is my wife video and is about an hour long, very strong and powerful video

http://youtu.be/am87LbMkHik

The 2nd video is about 14 minutes long but is just as powerful and passionate scripturally. I believe all should take the time to listen.

http://youtu.be/oWKGB1N8Z5E

 The last Link is also food for your spirit in understanding and obeying YHVH our father in Heaven 

http://understandingwhogodis.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html

I pray that you are blessed by these teachings and encourage you to continue in your spiritual walk in Yeshua Hamoshiach ( Jesus Christ ) ! most importantly pray , pray, and pray while you continue to read your bibles and live accordingly to the word of God. 

Amen!

Isaac

The Coming of the Kingdom : Where is it?

The Coming of the Kingdom

Luke 17;20-25

One day the Pharisees asked Jesus, “When will the Kingdom of God come?”

Jesus replied, “The Kingdom of God can’t be detected by visible signs. You won’t be able to say, ‘Here it is!’ or ‘It’s over there!’ For the Kingdom of God is already among you.”

Then he said to his disciples, “The time is coming when you will long to see the day when the Son of Man returns, but you won’t see it. People will tell you, ‘Look, there is the Son of Man,’ or ‘Here he is,’ but don’t go out and follow them. For as the lightning flashes and lights up the sky from one end to the other, so it will be on the day when the Son of Man comes. But first the Son of Man must suffer terribly and be rejected by this generation.

 Shalom My Friends;

I just wanted to be bring a few words of understanding, encouragement and spiritual revelation to you. It is something that has been either misunderstood or misused in various ways.

As you know Jesus was constantly being tested and looked at under a microscope by the leaders, teachers and the rulers of the Government and the law. They were always trying to find fault in Him to be able to use his own words to condemn him with.

I truly also believe that many of these people were extremely scared because they knew who actually he was and pierced them in their souls, which brings to the spiritual aspect of Luke 17;20-25.

So where is the Kingdom Of Heaven? Jesus states its within you. The Greek Translation of this word can also mean among you or in the midst of you. There is much speculation to the meaning of this particular scripture. But that is not my point.

The point Im leading up to is with this; is what did he mean for us of the place of Where the Kingdom of Heaven is?

Well if someone my say where it is, they may say in the sky or beyond our earthly realm. That is a good start. The Kingdom of Heaven is a spiritual realm where God (YHVH (יְהוָה)) Dwells. So if we are here in the flesh on earth, how is it in us or within us?

http://www.bible-researcher.com/luke17.21.html

The Apostle Paul gives us a good understanding to this in Galatians:

Galatians 5:16-26 (AMP)

 But I say, walk and live [habitually] in the [Holy] Spirit [responsive to and controlled and guided by the Spirit]; then you will certainly not gratify the cravings and desires of the flesh (of human nature without God). For the desires of the flesh are opposed to the [Holy] Spirit, and the [desires of the] Spirit are opposed to the flesh (godless human nature); for these are antagonistic to each other [continually withstanding and in conflict with each other], so that you are not free but are prevented from doing what you desire to do.But if you are guided (led) by the [Holy] Spirit, you are not subject to the Law. Now the doings (practices) of the flesh are clear (obvious): they are immorality, impurity, indecency, Idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, anger (ill temper), selfishness, divisions (dissensions), party spirit (factions, sects with peculiar opinions, heresies),Envy, drunkenness, carousing, and the like. I warn you beforehand, just as I did previously, that those who do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the [Holy] Spirit [the work which His presence within accomplishes] is love, joy (gladness), peace, patience (an even temper, forbearance), kindness, goodness(benevolence),faithfulness, Gentleness (meekness, humility), self-control (self-restraint, continence). Against such things there is no law [[a]that can bring a charge].And those who belong to Christ Jesus (the Messiah) have crucified the flesh (the godless human nature) with its passions and appetites and desires.If we live by the [Holy] Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit. [If by the Holy Spirit [b]we have our life in God, let us go forward [c]walking in line, our conduct controlled by the Spirit.]Let us not become vainglorious and self-conceited, competitive and challenging and provoking and irritating to one another, envying and being jealous of one another.

So What in fact Jesus is telling us and Paul Captures it perfectly is to live by the Holy spiritual fruit of the Kingdom of Heaven here on earth in our flesh and put off those fleshly desires that are not of GOD( YHVH (יְהוָה)), the Holy spirit and of The Kingdom of Heaven. Paul captures the list of sinful desires and what is of the Kingdom of Heaven. Both being opposed to each other.   If then in doing so there are no boundaries, limitations, and or depths of the kingdom Of Heaven Where GOD YHVH (יְהוָה) Dwells, within ourselves and among us here on earth while remain in our earthly bodies.

We live outwardly and inwardly both in mind soul and action with limitations and restrictions of what is not of the Flesh and what is of the flesh. Not all things are good so we are careful to discern what is of the Kingdom and what is not.

In doing so we are in-practice, striving, and training for our permanent place of life for eternity with YHVH (יְהוָה)! SO we are in one (Echad) with HIM now and forever! Regardless of what you believe the undisputed facts are eternity existed prior to your birth and will continue after your bodily death. You chose where your eternal soul will dwell, here and the now for all eternity.

Tomorrow is not promised only the present ! Come to Jesus Christ while your able to !
