I pray FATHER blesses all who read this.  Enjoy.

Trust HIM, HE will never leave you nor forsake you.  

JESUS bless us, every one. Peace. <(^8

The Persistence of One Child

Blessings of our beloved FATHER in all remembrance of MESSIAH YESHUAH/JESUS and that of HIS blessed HOLY SPIRIT of TRUTH.  Hallelujah.  Amen.

Greetings to one and all!

I hope this may bring all honor & glory to FATHER by blessing who may read this.

I recently came across an interesting topic, one in which I would like to address with you all who may be reading this.  It's in  regards to the various "roads" which FATHER leads or draws us to know HIM which has to do with HIS 'seed of faith' which is planted in every single being created. No one is exempt from having HIS 'seed of faith' planted with in these vessels of earthen soil. HE waters & feeds us regularly, then sends forth others along HIS path to continue to plant HIS seeds of wisdom while sharing the 'good news message of HIS Kingdom' all the while continuously watering & feeding us spiritually, & when needed, physically as well. 

Some folks "get" the message, others have to nurture it & need some time to discern, decipher, & understand it; some others don't, won't, or can't grasp the truth, while yet other's refuse any concept of FATHER's truth due to their stubborn & rebellious (pride/vanity) natures (refer to: 1 Samuel 15:22-23) preferring to live a life through the deceptive beliefs that they themselves are the ones "in control" of every thought, word, & action of their lives in regards to FATHER's gift (that's right folks, it's a gift) of "free will" all while they're loving the very sins that will whirlwind their lives from a breathtaking moment of pleasure to a pitfall leading to a decapitating & agonizing heart ache, empty brokenness, and devastating emotional pain. 

Beloved friends, the devil's "looking for heart donors" in which to trample upon, don't be fooled by 'its' deceptively devious devices & 'toys of temptation'. 'It' doesn't care about you, your loved ones, or any of us who are dying spiritually let alone physically or who are walking in lukewarmness, 'it' only seeks to murder, kill, & destroy all which FATHER has created through the love FATHER wants you to have & par take in & with HIM for all eternity. Hallelujah! Amen!

There is a reason why MESSIAH taught us these inspired words: "... Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself." (Matthew 22:37-39).  It is, was, & forever will be to learn that FATHER's message & Kingdom are all built on HIS AGAPE LOVE.  That we should in deed strive to live a clean, holy, & disciplined lifestyle learning to control ones' self by willingly obeying not out of fearing HIM unrighteously but due to loving HIM joyously, gladly, & holy.

Please ask-seek-knock after FATHER-SON-HOLY SPIRIT of TRUTH while you've still some time to do so. Whether FATHER calls you home or raptures us out of here, one day you will be face-to-face with HIM and every word will be accounted for; "For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God. So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God. Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother's way." (Romans 14:11-13); "Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father." (Philippians 2:9-11). 

Keep focused on MESSIAH, stay faithful, continue to seek to be fruitful for HIM giving to HIM your first fruits as a worthy & just fruitful offering unto our LORD & SAVIOUR.

Thank you for taking the time to read this, and may MESSIAH YESHUAH/JESUS continue to bless, fortify, guide, teach and protect you & your loved ones along the narrow path. 

Peace and Agape.

Greetings to you and blessings of our FATHER in Heaven!

I recently had another opportunity to re-read this story which someone shared with me many years back.  I now share it with you, perhaps re-share it as the case may be.  I live in the hope it blesses you in ways that only our LORD will know about and be glorified in.

"A nurse took the tired, anxious serviceman to the bedside. "Your son is here," she said to the old man. She had to repeat the words several times before the patient's eyes opened.

Heavily sedated because of the pain of his heart attack, he dimly saw the young uniformed Marine standing outside the oxygen tent. He reached out his hand. The Marine wrapped his toughened fingers around the old man's limp ones, squeezing a message of love and encouragement.

The nurse brought a chair so that the Marine could sit beside the bed. All through the night the young Marine sat there in the poorly lighted ward, holding the old man's hand and offering him words of love and strength. Occasionally, the nurse suggested that the Marine move away and rest awhile. He refused.

Whenever the nurse came into the ward, the Marine was oblivious of her and of the night noises of the hospital - the clanking of the oxygen tank, the laughter of the night staff members exchanging greetings, the cries and moans of the other patients. Now and then she heard him say a few gentle words. The dying man said nothing, only held tightly to his son all through the night.

Along towards dawn, the old man died. The Marine released the now lifeless hand he had been holding and went to tell the nurse. While she did what she had to do, he waited.

Finally, she returned. She started to offer words of sympathy, but the Marine interrupted her, "Who was that man?" he asked.

The nurse was startled, "He was your father," she answered.

"No, he wasn't," the Marine replied. "I never saw him before in my life."

"Then why didn't you say something when I took you to him?"

"I knew right away there had been a mistake, but I also knew he needed his son, and his son just wasn't here. When I realized that he was too sick to tell whether or not I was his son, knowing how much he needed me, I stayed. I came here tonight to find a Mr. William Grey. His Son was killed in Afiganistan today, and I was sent to inform him. What was this Gentleman's Name?"

The nurse, with tears in her eyes, answered, "Mr. William Grey..."

The next time someone needs you... just be there. Stay."

We read JESUS' words in Matthew 5:1-14, "And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him: And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying, Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you. Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid."

MESSIAH continues on in Matthew 5:42-48 teaching us to, "Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away. Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect."

Our LORD, when confronted from those with evil intent, gives this teaching in Matthew 22:35-40, "Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying, Master, which is the great commandment in the law?  Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets."

In Matthew 15:16-20 HE teaches us, "And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without understanding? Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught? But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man. For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies: These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man."

Further on in Galatians 6:5-10 Apostle Paul states, "For every man shall bear his own burden. Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things. Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith."

Seek the narrow way, the narrow path, in every thought, word, deed you do prior to projecting, saying, performing them which will bring internal peace and external joy to you and all you encounter upon your journey.

May MESSIAH YESHUA/JESUS continue to bless, guide, and fill you with all of HIS righteousness, joy, peace, and love. Keep focused on HIM, faithful to HIM, fruitful for HIM, and always fortified through HIM.

sincerely yours through CHRIST,

Greetings to one and all, welcome!

It's been quite a while since last I've written to you here on Fubar, please forgive me.  I can only live in the hope you've been asking-seeking-and knocking on Heaven's door of our beloved ABBA FATHER CREATOR after all that is seen and known and all that is not for HE loves all of us unconditionally.  I pray you feel HIS love in your hearts.

After you read this blog entry, please feel free to view the attached video at the end of this post, and may it bring you encouragement as well as inspiration to learn of ABBA FATHER through HIS beloved SON our MESSIAH YESHUA/JESUS CHRIST while being blessed with HIS HOLY GHOST. Hallelujah. Amen.

In the past I've been asked about my faith and belief. I hope this brings ABBA all the glory and honor, and blesses those in some way who may happen to read this while on their search asking-seeking-knocking after HIM. If you're not, I pray you learn of HIM and all HIS grace, mercy, forgiveness, peace, and unconditional love. It's so well worth it.

Q: Have you always been a devout Christian? If not, why did you become one?
A: Actually, no, I haven't always been a 'devout Christian'. I thought I had, but in all honesty, I didn't even come close. As far back as 2 - 3 years of age I recall knowing and believing that GOD was real, outside of the fact that my folks had been Roman Catholics. The problem was I hadn't understood, listened, obeyed, or given our LORD the respect HE so righteously deserved (and deserves) in regards to devotion, praise, and worship in the manner I should have given to HIM, and HE still is working on me today as well.

To be a Christian is to become a follower of MESSIAH YESHUA/JESUS the CHRIST, learning to love the FATHER through HIS example with all of our "hearts, souls, minds, and strength" (Deuteronomy 6:5-7; Matthew 22:37-40) circumcising our hearts to HIM (having HIM live in our beings fully and completely) following HIM through the FATHER's teachings and through CHRIST's living examples. It's in dying to 'self' bit by bit daily, surrendering the 'self-ego-id' completely to CHRIST, allowing the LORD to clean, purge, and purify us from the inside permitting HIS light and love to be seen outwardly, not ourselves, through a conviction of unyielding faith and trust in HIM. Do we always do things correctly? No. Do we sin? Unfortunately, yes, there are times we do. Are these sins willful sins? I certainly hope not, heaven forbid!

The LORD has always been a major part of my life. HE's always been there, protecting, guiding, and directing me along HIS narrow path, and always with unconditional love. It was I that wasn't open to GOD, nor have I been obedient to HIM as HE had instructed and wanted me to be, and in this was HE marked for transgressions and sins, mine and yours.

HE saved me in many ways which are too numerous and countless to begin to explain. HE's given me hope when hope could not be found. HE's answered questions I've spoken and prayed to HIM about when it was time for those questions to be answered. GOD's timing is perfect, and only in retrospect is that recognized, acknowledged, and greatly appreciated for the wisdom HE has shared. We humans are an impatient, stubborn, rebellious, selfish and self-servient lot, aren't we. It's unfathomible how infallible and generous our beloved ABBA FATHER has been with HIS blessed patience mercy, goodness, and love to us.

GOD never backed off of me, nor has HE forced me to follow after HIM. HE's taught me, through all of HIS lessons, disciplines, chastening, patience, and examples how much HE loves me, and each one of us. I willingly surrender myself to our LORD and SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST, dying to 'self', and living for HIM is a humbling eye and ear opening awakening awareness. Walking in HIS narrow way is not an easy one, but it is worth all the cost and committment to follow HIM. Remember, MESSIAH never suggested this life would be easy.

In Matthew 10:17-23, JESUS, talking with HIS disciples (including future believers and followers) tells us; "But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues; And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles. But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak. For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you. And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death. And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved. But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come."

In John 15:17-23, again JESUS talking with HIS disciples (hence future believers and followers); "These things I command you, that ye love one another. If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also. But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me. If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloke for their sin. He that hateth me hateth my Father also."

Q: Do you believe that Jesus was resurrected just because the Bible says He was?
A: I believe fully in the resurrection of YESHUA/JESUS through my faith and trust in HIM. The Holy Bible gives written account of MESSIAH both prior to and after HIS physical arrival here, and is the tool in which ABBA has declared for all people to come and learn of HIM (our FATHER) and that of HIS beloved SON, and in this I do believe the Holy Bible to be HIS inspired writings and teachings which ABBA guides, directs, and leads us into understanding, wisdom, and knowledge of HIMSELF, MESSIAH YESHUA/JESUS, and HIS beloved HOLY GHOST. Please understand it's not what is tangible in and of itself my faith is based upon, it's an internal 'knowing' my faith is built upon and it's this solid foundation in which my faith is derived.

Q: What makes Christianity any more true than any other religion?
A: Christianity is the only religion which believes in MESSIAH YESHUA/JESUS the CHRIST being who HE is, the SON of the CREATOR who came here to teach us of the FATHER, HIS love, grace, and compassion through the sacrifice of HIS beloved SON. Please do not be mistaken, being a follower of YESHUA/JESUS is not about man-made agenda's, rites, idols, and traditions. ABBA's 'church' is not made of bricks and cement which is built by the hands of man, it's built on faith, belief, and trust in the ONE living GOD, and in which ABBA FATHER YHWY says MESSIAH YESHUA/JESUS is who HE is, GOD the SON incarnate through human flesh who bore punishment, ridicule, torture, degradation, and death on the cross only to be resurrected to life eternal (both physically and spiritually) hence defeating the evil one and freeing mankind from bondage while bridging the gap between ABBA YHWH (GOD the FATHER) and all flesh, and to reconnect all flesh back to ABBA YHWH. Hallelujah! Praise ELOHIM: ABBA FATHER, MESSIAH YESHUA and HIS HOLY GHOST! Amen. This is the true church of our LORD in all it's simplicity, splendor, and magnificence. Our bodies are HIS temples, our hearts are HIS "Holy of Holies", which is indeed where HE resides when we willingly submit faithfully and loyally to our beloved FATHER.

Q: Are you willing to say that you KNOW FOR A FACT that Christianity is the right religion even when all the other religions say the same about theirs?
A: No one knows for a fact anything of this life, however I will say I know for a fact through my own experiences, that it's living by faith, trust, and belief daily, moment by moment, and living my life, as imperfect as I am, in which I chose to be one of HIS follower's living as holy a life as possible through the example of how YESHUA has lived HIS life. Those who are followers of MESSIAH are living testaments of HIM and trying to conduct ourselves as such through heart, soul, mind, and strength. JESUS encourages all of us as is evident in Matthew 5:3-12 "Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you." YESHUA is quoted by Matthew in chapters 5, 6, 7 on what is required of all who follow HIM, and how to conduct and willingly submit ourselves accordingly while we take up our crosses and follow after HIM diligently and unceasingly.

It's a blessing for me to be a servant of ADONAI's, although I am far from a perfect example. HE's our living example, follow HIM and no other. It's an honor and a privilege to glorify and honor HIM. I can only hope, if I am pleasing to HIM at all, that HE will permit me to share eternity with HIM glorifying ABBA with all brethren. The road and journey are very long, my friend, the path very narrow leading to HIM, and this life very short, especially for those who fall away from HIM. HE never leaves us, yet many fall away from HIM, and that's so sad and tragic. I never want nor wish for me, or any one, to fall away from HIM ever or again, nor do I ever want to be a stumbling block for another, heaven forbid!

The world is an illusion, my friend, the true reality is our FATHER in heaven. The devil deceives the masses in all manners of ways, and uses temptation to lore mankind down to his level where people lose their faith by the choices they make believing ABBA won't take them back, all the while the evil one chuckles at the calamity befalling ABBA's world and HIS children. The evil one's all about lies, manipulation, deceit, doom, gloom, and destruction. He's the father of all lies and the master of them, and it was from his own greed, lust, selfishness, self importance, and pride that the evil one was thrown out of, and far from, our beloved FATHER's presence in Paradise in Heaven, away from ABBA's grace, mercy, and love.

YESHUA gave HIS life to free all people, Jew and Gentile, from the bondage of sin, in hope we'd willingly love ABBA FATHER and follow HIM into eternal bliss and life ever lasting to be with FATHER in Paradise. HE endured all levels of torture, degradation, being nailed on a wooden cross, dying a horrific death and becoming resurrected (physically and spiritually) as it had been foretold of HIM by the prophets for all our sakes, yours and mine. We should be rejoicing in HIS victory and praising HIS blessed Name, shouting it from the highest peeks and in the deepest valleys and seas! The victory is HIS! HE won and no one has to be a victim any longer!!! Hallelujah! Amen and Amen!

Seek the LORD while HE still may be found, trust and have faith in HIM alone. Pray and speak to HIM, ask HIM to help you and HE will. HE saved countless sinners, and HE'll do the same for you if you allow HIM to. HE did this sinner, HE saved me. Repent from sinning, which simply means to cease from doing what you know is wrongful behavior to a Holy, Just, and loving GOD. You know deep in your heart what's right and wrong, if you're not sure or confused about this, open the Holy Bible and read the four gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, along with the Ten Commandments written in Exodus 20 in the Old Testament. Ask HIM to forgive you of everything remembered and not, to clean, purge, and purify you with HIS precious blood which HE willingly poured out for you and us all, then go and follow HIM, learn of HIM, and trust in HIM through faith. HE will do all HE's promised not just for some, but for all who humble themselves to HIM. Then share your belief with other's near and far knowing that it is HIS strength and light which emulates from inside of you, not your own.

This music video is entitled:"Do You Know JESUS CHRIST?"http://www.youtube.com/user/netta2158/featured I pray it brings ABBA all the glory and blesses you through HIS love. When the storms are roughest, keep focused on MESSIAH JESUS, trust HIM through it all.

May MESSIAH YESHUA/JESUS continue to bless your life, guiding you into a deep relationship with HIM, directing your footing along HIS narrowing path, leading you back home to HIS Heavenly Paradise to be with our awaiting FATHER.

Sincerely yours through MESSIAH YESHUA/JESUS the CHRIST,
Peace.  <(^8

Blessings of our beloved ABBA ADONAI ELOHIM YAHWEH in the blessed Name of HIS SON our MESSIAH Y'SHUA/JESUS CHRIST through HIS HOLY SPIRIT. Amen.

Greetings one and all.

I can only hope you're filled with many blessings from our FATHER in heaven, encouraged in the hope of HIS promises to one day be fulfilled soon.  I pray, too, for your continued health, peace, and joy.  At the end of this deovotional I've included a music video.  I pray it blesses all who view it, and I thank you in advance for sharing it by passing it forward to others.
 

What are you nourishing today?  Your Spirit or carnal natures?

There's not a day that we don't question our belief in an all powerful CREATOR.  There's not a day that our faith isn't tested and challenged in some way.  There's not a day when we aren't compromised by our trust issues, or lack there of, be they moral and/or ethical.  Just because we're flawed through our carnal states (ie: physical, emotional, psychological, deveplomental) does not mean there is no CREATOR, on the contrary, it proves to us the more that HE does exist and we are very much in need of HIS mercy, forgiveness, grace, tranquility, and love.

It is written in John 20:29, "JESUS saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed."

There have been many who've not seen FATHER with their physical eyes yet have been filled with HIS HOLY SPIRIT through their belief, faith, and trust in HIM.  Abraham walked in righteousness allowing the seed of faith ABBA planted inside of his vessel to grow trusting all the promises ELOHIM told him (Genesis) including the birth of their son, Issac, to Abraham and Sarah in their extremely old age (Matthew 19:26, Mark 10:27).  All the prophets allowed the seed of faith ABBA planted in them to blossom.  Was it an easy task for them?  No.  Where these tasks arduous?  Yes.  Did they experience hardships, heart breaks, and anguish?  Yes.  Was it worth losing people and things they held dearest in their hearts drawing them closer to and into a deeper personal relationship with our beloved FATHER?  Yes.  

Everything that has ever been or will be created has the 'seed of faith' planted with in it, be it animal, vegetable, or mineral, everything.  There's nothing ever made that can exist with out FATHER's 'seed' in it.  We've been blessed with an incredible gift of choice, either we willingly choose to allow ABBA to nourish this 'seed' by feeding our Spirit drawing us into a closer relationship with HIM becoming new creations through HIM and HIS love, or we willingly choose to remain in a carnal state of being starving HIS 'seed' by feeding a selfish existence through lustful wants which push us further away from ABBA and HIS love.  Both life choices are free to live, however, how you decide to live matters greatly where you end up for eternity.

May ABBA FATHER continue to bless, guide, and direct you in the Name of HIS SON, MESSIAH Y'SHUA/JESUS CHRIST through HIS HOLY SPIRIT. Amen.  Keep focused, steadfast, and awake in every decision and word you utter while traveling upon ABBA's narrowing path.

"A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things. But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned."- Matthew 12:35-37

Choose wisely, my friends.

I hope this video blesses all who views it giving ABBA FATHER all the glory. In Y'SHUA/JESUS' Name.  Amen.

I hope this entry finds each and everyone of you healthy, joyful, prosperous, and abundantly blessed by and in the presence of our ABBA FATHER! I had an interesting experience a few weeks previous. I hope you don't mind my sharing it with you. I had been ill for 2 weeks (actually began months back, but who's counting semantics). My doctor gave me antibiotics which helped but physically something just wasn't working correctly. I decided to go to the ER, for me this is a rather difficult process due to my disablitiy so I had to go by ambulance. After various tests (all OK) I was given a CAT scan which indicated I have an infection in my colon/abdoman and some lymph node enlargement. I was given a new prescription, told to follow up with my doctor, and strongly advised to see a GI specialist to have further tests (to be exact, a colonoscopy ... oh, joy and rapture), all of which I will do according to instructions. I thank ABBA FATHER for intervening in my situation and circumstance, for with out HIS assistance I'm not sure I would have gone to the ER. I give ABBA all glory, honor, and reverence to HIM for all HE does in my life, the joys and the trials. I bless the name of our ABBA YAHWEH. In Y'SHUA/JESUS' name. Amen.

Sadly, a man who was brought to the hospital (a walk-in case) with chest pains/lack of breathing did not survive. The triage team attended to him quickly and did all they could for him. Please, let's remember all who are ill, suffering, or on death's door post, their loved ones, and those who care for those who are in such need of assistance and care by offering a moment of prayer for them all to be lifted up to ABBA's awareness for all that HE knows they are needing. In Y'SHUA/JESUS' name we pray. Thank YOU, ABBA, for hearing our prayers. Amen.

 

They say, " 'Tis the season to be jolly", as the old phrase goes, but what is there to be jolly about? Many folks are pennyless, feeling loveless, and most every one is lonely on one level or an other with or without loved ones in their lives. There's suffering, illness, desease, war, and death all round us on a consistant basis these days. Even our beautiful planet is feeling the pangs of seperation with in its' frame work. Many are surrounded by two-faced associates, foes, and blatant enemies, some of which are our own families, friends, and neighbors. What happened to "It's the season of brotherly love"? It just doesn't seem to exist any more does it. Or does it? Hmmm...

What is this "season" all about and what does it represent?

Simply put, it's about love -- unconditional love no less. Not 'love' in terms of how you and I view it and expect it to be, it's about the agape love of our ABBA FATHER in heaven and how HE created it to be. It's not meant to be given one day out of 365, nor for one season out of 4, it's given to all HIS children and we are to share it one with an other continually, moment after moment.

Human beings were created from the uncondtitional love of our ABBA FATHER in heaven. Later on the entire human population, you and I obviously included, were born out of the imperfections and sins of our ancestorial parents (Adam and Eve), then to further complicate and confuse matters, our human blood line/DNA was intermingled (contaminated) by the cross-breeding with the fallen angels (the Nephilim, Genesis 6) who seduced the human race.

Perhaps you've wondered why you think/say/act/do certain things which are cruel/hurtful/harmful/negative in some way to others and/or yourself ("why did I _____?"; "it wasn't my intention to _____"; "how could I have done/said _____"; "I can't believe I just did/said _____!", etc.). Afterwards some people are sincerely sorrowful/repentant/apologetic of the words/deeds/actions they've displayed towards others/self but are left confused, dismayed, and perplexed by their words/behaviours. Seems we each have a duel character/personality dwelling inside of us due to this cross-breading. It's out of this duel character we'll each have to chose who we're going to willingly follow: our ABBA CREATOR/JESUS CHRIST or the enemy, Satan. No one is exempt from this cross-breading, no one is exempt from their decision process, and no one receives a "FREE get out of jail card". It's not going to happen that way, it's just not that easy.

No matter how much you may think or wish the CREATOR doesn't exist, HE does. HE's very much alive and no matter what you've done HE will still love you unconditionally. This will not exempt you from the many sins/crimes you've committed against HIM due to your rebellion and stubborn nature, after all ABBA is a righteous and Holy Judge and HIS laws and commandments are just and perfect as HE is. They were given to us from HIS love, mercy, and forgiveness for a reason -- so we can live in a holy, blessed, joyful, healthy, and righteous life style.

ABBA loves us so much that HE sent HIS only begotten SON, MESSIAH Y'SHUA/JESUS CHRIST (HIMSELF) into HIS own creation (the body/flesh) to take on all the sins of the people of this world (ie: making a convenient with HIMSELF) to free us from the grasp of the enemy by showing us through MESSIAH's example what unconditional love looks and sounds like. MESSIAH Y'SHUA/JESUS CHRIST is our perfect and unblemished example of how to live in our carnality through: humility, peace making, meekness, kindness, gentleness, purity, humbleness, love, etc. (ie: read the book of Matthew/all the OT/NT). It's through HIS blood sacrifice (ie: being mocked, insulted, spit on, slapped, beaten, scourged, bruised, mortified, humiliated, crucified, & death) and being raised back to life a new creature that we are given our re-birth! We are cleansed, purged, purified, and made a new creature through HIS blood and through HIS victory over the cross and the grave! HalleluYAH! Amen.

If you don't know MESSIAH Y'SHUA/JESUS CHRIST, please ask-seek-knock after HIM and learn who HE is and that of HIS love for you. If you already know of our MESSIAH, please continue to follow HIM and no other. If you're backsliding in your walk, please, reach out to HIM for help and HE will help you. If you have walked away and ceased believing in our CREATOR for whatever reason it is that stopped you, please know there are many who understand, have been there, reach out to someone and don't cease from asking-seeking-knocking after HIM. Turn over ever rock, unlock every door, open every window, look under ever rug, don't ever give up on your hope. HE's there, HE's just waiting on you to water and feed the seed of faith HE planted inside of your earthen vessel.

For those who believe and live by our unshakable faith, no explanation of HIS existence is necessary. I encourage us all to keep focused, steadfast, and strong in HIM through our belief and faith trusting HIM in all HE's taught us through HIS Words, deeds, and actions. Let's continue to endure all things, joys and trials, in hope while we wait patiently for HIM to call us home to HIM or return for HIS Bride (we the church) bringing us home to heaven.

May MESSIAH Y'SHUA/JESUS CHRIST bless, guide, and protect you, your loved ones, and all whom you encounter upon HIS narrowing path during this season in remembrenece of HIS birth (though we know it's not HIS actual birth date) and the life in which HE willingly sacrificed out of unconditional love for each and every one of us.

Thank you for taking the time to read this blog devotional, and again, here are my gifts for you. Enjoy.  May they bring you peace, joy, love, and a smile to be placed with in your hearts, but above all else may it bring ABBA YAHWEH all sincere devotion, glory, and reverence.

PS: Please, don't fret over the year 2012. It's just another year, just another number made with a set of other numbers. Keep your focus on MESSIAH and nothing else, and keep steadfast to HIM and HIM alone! Don't walk away! Don't let HIM go! Don't give up your hope! Y'SHUA/JESUS bless you, every one.

Blessings of our beloved ABBA ADONAI ELOHIM YHWH in the blessed name of HIS SON our MESSIAH Y'SHUA/JESUS CHRIST through HIS HOLY SPIRIT.  Amen.

Greetings One and All!

Rain, sun, snow, it doesn't matter ... it's a glorious day today for it's another day our CREATOR has given to us! Whenever you read this PM (especially after May 21, 2011) it's because our ABBA ELOHIM is always victorious over the false fruits of the enemy.  Praise the blessed name of our ADONAI! ADONAI! YESHUA HA'MASHIACH! Amen and Amen!

"Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform (complete) it until the day of Jesus Christ:" (Philippians 1:6)

GOD is working on me.

GOD is working on you.

GOD is working on each one of us.

It's only with HIS patience, guidance, and instruction with whatever blessings HE's given to each of us that we can carry our cross, enduring our trials and tribulations. No one's alone on this journey, we all need to thank and bless GOD for the blessings HE's allowed us.

Recently someone kindly said to me I'm a bit hard on myself. If I'm hard on myself there's very good reasons. I never want to turn back to my old nature nor become a lukewarm believer.  I never want to let go of my LORD and SAVIOR. I'm a sinner and I never want to forget what Y'SHUA/JESUS went through taking my sins upon HIS cross for my sake allowing me an opportunity to repent and change my character hopefully reflecting HIS image and not my own. I never want to take this very thought lightly nor for granted ever again, I did so for far too many years through ignorance and self-seeking desires and interests.

Y'SHUA/JESUS taught us, "If you love ME, keep MY commandments." (John 14:15).  If you don't know what JESUS has taught us or are unsure of HIS commandments, read the Book of Matthew. Everything HE taught us is clearly explained in that gospel. Sounds easy enough when you think about it, and it should be, but it isn't all that easy to change years of character flaws. I never want to fall away from HIM, let HIM go, nor become a stumbling block for others or have others become a stumbling block for me.  

If we love HIM we will willingly obey HIM, submit to HIM totally, pray for others (friend and foe) and for ourselves diligently, deny 'self' & die to our selfish lusts, wants, and desires continually.

Our FATHER wants us to follow HIM, to do this we should be following all of HIS commandments, along with walking in love with one another, resting in the Sabbath because HE and the Sabbath are ONE just as our FATHER, HE, and the HOLY SPIRIT are ONE. We should only be concerned with GOD's approval of our behaviors as GOD is not partial to any one person. HE loves us all equally, Jew & Gentile. GOD's in control, not us, so let's rest in HIM for we certainly can't make things right without HIS help. We need to ask-seek-knock on HIS door (Matthew 6:33) and invite HIM into our hearts so HE can help chasten, correct, and heal us growing in a deeper relationship with HIM. HE loves us all so very much.

Please don't be one of them who didn't heed HIS words. "Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it." (Matthew 7:21-27)

Won't you forgive other's before it's your time to meet YAHWEH (the LORD)?  We're not promised another moment from now. Death can come as a thief pulling the rug out from under you and you'll never have that last opportunity to repent to ABBA ELOHIM/GOD and turn away from your sins.  Time's passing and the door is quickly closing, what are you waiting for? Put away the anger, put away the hurt, put away the pride.  Forgive others and love all people as you wish to be loved.  It's just not worth anyone losing their soul over petty situations and circumstances.

May Y'SHUA/JESUS continue to guide, direct, and bless you along HIS narrowing path.  Keep steadfast, focused, and strong in the faith trusting all HE's taught us through HIS Words, deeds, and actions.  Encourage one another in songs, hymns, and the Psalms not in idle conversations which don't amont to much in the end. Ask-Seek-Knock after your reward, which is the MESSIAH Y'SHUA/JESUS CHRIST, HE's our treasure!  To ABBA YAHWEH ELOHIM/GOD be all the glory!  In Y'SHUA/JESUS' name I pray.  Amen.

yours through CHRIST,

Netta <(^8

Blessings of the ABBA ADONIA ELOHIM in the precious name of MESSIAH YESHUA/JESUS CHRIST through HIS HOLY SPIRIT.  Amen.
 Greetings to Everyone!

I hope this finds you blessed, healthy, and striving to follow our SAVIOR and MESSIAH along HIS narrowing path.  The times we're now facing are very difficult indeed as we also begin to experience birth pains.  JESUS taught us these days would not be easy ones to live through.  In Matthew 11:16-24 we read, "But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like unto children sitting in the markets, and calling unto their fellows, And saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned unto you, and ye have not lamented.  For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a devil.  The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified of her children.  Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty works were done, because they repented not: Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works, which were done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.  But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you.  And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shalt be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day.  But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee."

In Matthew 11:25-30, JESUS teaches us to first pray and thank our FATHER in heaven, gently and lovingly encouraging us with these words; "At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.  Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight.  All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.  Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.  Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.  For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."

No matter how difficult and trying things can get there is always another person who has it far more diffcult, more trying, more unsurmountable, more anything else, more than you do, more than I do.  Let us encourage our neighbor, foe and friend, to be lead by the one true LIGHT, the one true voice of reason, the one who isn't lead by self-motivation or selfishness but always with pure love for our FATHER who is in heaven.

JESUS taught how we're to pray to our FATHER in heaven.  It's written in Matthew 6:5-8: HE explains, "And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.  But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.  But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.  Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him."

JESUS instructs on the manner we are to pray to our FATHER (Matthew 6:9-13):  "After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.  Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.  Give us this day our daily bread.  And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.  And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen."

In Matthew 6:14-29: JESUS explains the reasons it's so important to forgive others, to fast and pray only to our FATHER so HE alone hears our petitions and prayers, to keep holy all of the members of our vessels with particular mention of what we allow and permit our eyes to see for what our eyes witness goes straight into our minds, and what goes into our minds will either be "full of light" (holy) bringing purity to the entire vessel (body) which is the holy temple of the LORD GOD ALMIGHTY or "full of darkness" (evil) bringing impurity to it.

JESUS reassures us to have faith in our FATHER for HE knows all of what our needs are (Matthew 6:30-32): "Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?  (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things."

JESUS proceeds to encourage us (Matthew 6:33-34): "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.", gently forewarning us to be mindful that each day is filled with its' own troubles, "Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof."

If you don't know JESUS CHRIST as your personal MESSIAH, LORD, and SAVIOR, why not seek HIM out.  HE loves us all and all the FATHER has given to HIM.  HE's longing for you to come to HIM just as you are.  There isn't any one who's been born that's not a sinner, all people are.  Look into your own mirror to change your character and cease from glaring at someone else's sins, your filled with many of your own (as I am).  HE took our sins upon the wooden cross and there our sins remain if we sincerely and deeply repent of our sins and leave our old selves there at the foot of HIS cross.  Trust all HE's done to redeem your life on your behalf.  As JESUS CHRIST rose from the dead and is alive today, so are you who have died to sin and risen to being a new creation through our MESSIAH.  May this season's reminder of the death and resurrection of our MESSIAH JESUS bring you renewed hope and vitality to continue to be filled with HIS strength, focusing on HIS direction, and keeping steadfast upon all HE has taught us through HIS Words (verbal and written), deeds, actions, and love.  Never let HIM go, never walk away, remember it's we who leave and walk away from GOD, HE has never left us, ever.  Endure all in JESUS' precious name. Amen.

May JESUS continue to bless and fill your lamps with all HE knows you're each in need of, you, your loved ones, and your neighbors -- friends and foes -- forgive everyone, hope for their forgiveness for you, and pray GOD grants you mercy, forgiveness, and pardons you all, and places your name in HIS Book of Life.

 yours through MESSIAH YESHUA/JESUS CHRIST,

Peace.  Netta  <(^8

"Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."

Are you heavily burdened by something in your life?  Have you been struggling privately or secretly with something that weighs heavily upon your heart or mind?  There is one who is more than capable of carrying all of your burdens, all of your secret concerns and worries, all of your "heavy ladens" and that is the MESSIAH, Y'SHUA/JESUS CHRIST.  There's nothing that's too heavy for HIM to carry, to place on HIS shoulders, nothing.

Pray to HIM, HE listens to our prayers, HE's very much alive in the living SPIRIT.  If you're not sure what or how to pray, than just talk to HIM through the privacy of your heart and mind.  Be sincere, believe in HIM as in the innocent faith of a child, which is what we are to HIM, HIS children, and trust in HIM and HIS timing to help you regardless of the situation.

If you need someone to chat with or pray with/for you, please feel free to comment below (if you prefer, PM me) or someone you have confidence in such as a loved one or a Pastor who preachs the true gospel of MESSIAH, not a watered down version of HIS Word.

I've shared various videos here on FB from my YT channel, please feel free to view them.  I pray they bring FATHER YAHWEH ELOHIM/GOD all the glory.  I pray they bring HIS blessings and healings upon you and your loved ones.  Please remember HE loves us all very much ... HE loves you very much.

MESSIAH be with you,
