Hidden Treasures...

There are times when we become so overwhelmed with things that we forget where to look for help and comfort. The last place you would ever think to look is the often the first place we will find the answers. When we pick up the bible and read, we discover the hidden treasures that we knew but have forgotten. It breathes new life and meaning into our lives.

There is NOTHING that will happen in life that cannot be found in the bible. All the answers you will ever need will be addressed in it! So take the time and seek them out for yourself. Most often when we research things for ourselves, we tend to hang on to it a lot longer than in we are told it by someone else. Think about that…

Have a blessed and treasure hunting day, my friend. May there always be Shalom in your heart and in your home.

Be a Team Player...

We were not able to do everything by ourselves. We all have different gifts and talents. God designed us to work together to get the job done with ease and better than if we did it alone.

We need to recognize our personal strengths and weaknesses. Know when to take the lead, know when to step back and let someone else step up and run with it. It does not matter if we start, help, or finish…we are still an important part of the team.

Trust me once you can master this, you will find that a huge weight has been taken off your shoulders not to mention stress. You will wonder why you didn’t do it sooner!

Have a wonder and blessed day, my friend. May there always be Shalom in your heart and in your home.

Throw Away Your Crutch....

Just go step by step. God cease to be thankful for the time’s Will shall be revealed as you go. You will never cease to be thankful for this time when you felt deep Shalom, and yet had no human security.

That is the time of the True learning of trust in Y’shua. When your father and mother forsake you, then the Lord will take you up. This is a literal dependence on Him.

When human support or material help of any kind is removed, then His Power can become operative. He cannot teach us to walk if we are trusting on a crutch. His Power shall invigorate us that we shall indeed walk on to victory. Never limit His Power….it is limitless.

Have a blessed day and throw down your crutch, my friend. May there always be Shalom in your heart and in your home.

Be Ready For Combat...

I am a firm believer in hand to hand combat. We do not need to fight in the flesh; we just need to bring our troubles into the spiritual realm. When we stop, drop and pray we are causing ripples in the spiritual realm that will soon manifest in the natural. We also gain strength and wisdom on how to handle ourselves when we are face to face to face with our enemies, both in the natural and in the spirit realms.

Fight with prayer, Believe in faith that God has anticipated and already answered  our prayer, and then thank Him with praises of thanksgiving. Fight, Believe, Win and Praise God! That is all it takes, aside of waiting for God’s perfect timing. That is the hardest part for most of us (especially me) but a very important part nonetheless. We are equipped with all the winning moves; you just have to execute them! So always be ready to hit the battlefield in combat.

Have a blessed and wonderful day, my friend. May there always be Shalom in your heart and in your home.

Shalom, Y'shua's Peace....

In John 14:27 Y’shua says, “I am leaving peace with you, I give MY peace to you: I am giving to you, no just as the world would give. Your heart must not ever trouble you and it must stop being timid.”

Many people assume this means that we will not have troubles because we will always be in peace. That is not true…it means that we will have peace in our troubles. We should not become so overwhelmed with our problems and we need to be bold and courageous when dealing with the enemy. If God is for us, who can be against us?

Have a blessed and courageous day, my friend. May there always be Shalom in your heart and in your home.

Real Eyes Realize Real Lies...

You may think that it is ok to lie and deceive other people. You justify your actions according to you needs. However, there is something you should take into consideration.  Just because they may appear to be oblivious to the deception, does not that it is true.

Sometimes people will choose to ignore lies and deception because they love you and do not want to embarrass you by letting on they know. Or perhaps they have tried to address it in the past and have come to the conclusion that confronting you would be futile. Either way, the only person being fooled is you.

There are times when some people are gullible and never see anything come their way. You may think they were an easy mark but I assure you that NOTHING escapes the eyes and ears of God. He will defend them. You know what that means…again, the only person being fooled is you.

Whether you are the deceiver or the one being deceived be assured that the truth always prevails. Have a blessed and honest day, my friend. May there always be Shalom in your heart and in your home.

Be Your Personal Best....

God is clear about the person He wants us to be. We have a choice, we can set our minds, hearts and spirits to achieve this or we can compile excuses why we cannot do it. The choice is solely ours.

It is all about mindset, self-discipline, and our love and trust in God. Y’shua is the perfect example. He did not lavish Himself with the finest things on earth. He lived humbly, sharing what He had with others. He did not extract revenge when He was mocked and wronged, He was forgiving and kind. He did not judge the sins of others; He came to set us free from sin with no condemnation. The very essence of Y’shua is faith, love, compassion, obedience and forgiveness

We have to be the same way. Trust me; I know how difficult this can be on a daily basis. However, when we have mastered this mindset we will have become the person God wants us to be!

Have a blessed day filled with strength and endurance to be the best person you can be, my friend. May there always be Shalom in your heart and in your home.
