From Prison to a Palace...

Did you know that Joseph spent an additional two years in prison because he put his trust in the king's cup bearer to get him out rather than waiting on God? 

When we put our trust in anyone or anything other than God, we ought to know that your plans will not succeed...does that stop us from doing it? NO! 

We need to remember that we must immediately submit all situations to God. Here is the hard part...we have to WAIT for His timing for the answer. His timing is perfect however, it never comes when we expect it! 

When facing your next problem, save yourself the aggravation and just give the entire situation to God. Ask Him what He wants you to do and WAIT until you hear from Him before reacting. When God handles a situation...it is taken care of completely. 

Have a blessed and trouble free day, my friend. May you always have Shalom in your heart and in your home.

Never to late...

As long as you are breathing it is not to late to accept Y'shua (Jesus). The problem is that if you delay, you are playing Russian roulette with your soul. You do not know when your last breath will be so why put it off? 

Y'shua paid a high price for you to spend eternity with Him and His Father. However, He is not going to force you to accept salvation. Only you can choose to do that.

Upon death you will meet Y'shua...I pray that it will be to spend eternity with Him and not separated from Him. 

Take a moment to think about where you are going to spend eternity. Don't joke about it for this is the most serious decision you will ever make in your lifetime!

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

Who's approval are you seeking?

Who are you trying to win approval from? Your boss, your friends, your family members? Do you ever feel like you have to compromise some things to gain that approval?

Approval from others is NOT needed for you to live a happy and healthy life! Be a strong person who knows who they are and what they need to do. Independent thinkers are the people that stand out and succeed in life because they are not worried about anyone else's approval.

If you must seek approval...seek God's approval. In the end, the only thing that really matters is what you have done to build up the kingdom and the souls that you bring in with you!

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

Ego vs Spirit...

Once we recognize the true order of things...everything will fall into place. 

If you insist on taking care of everything yourself...you will not have peace. There will always be something pressing on you, demanding your time and/or attention. Something that will have your attention all the time.

When you have inner peace, all the chaos in the world will not shake you. This is the kind of peace that I have found and I strive to keep. Without it, I would fall under the weight of everyday pressures. 

Not sure where to find it? Here is the key: It comes with the knowledge and understanding of who Y'shua (Jesus) is. Know Y'shua, Know Peace...No Y'shua, No Peace. I hope and pray that you too will find inner peace through Y'shua. 

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

The Voice of God...

This is the ONLY one way to test what you hear. If it lines up with the Word of God then it is from God...if it does not line up with the Word of God...it is NOT from God!

Remember...Satan knows the scriptures too. He also knows how to insert a lie into the truth and twist it to make it sound right. That is why it is so important for us to know God's Word. The more we read our bible it the easier it will be to recognize His Word. The more we study it, the better understanding we will get from it.

It is not rocket science...we only get out of it what we put into it. How important is God's Word to you? How much time do you invest in it? Daily, Weekly, just when you need Him to do something for you? 

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

Lioness of Judah

I am the Lioness of Judah! I choose to follow and stand beside the Lion of Judah...Y'shua HaMashiach (Jesus the Messiah)!

Some may think that is a little presumptuous of me but I don't. Seeing that we are all one in Christ, there is no reason why we cannot and should not stand with Him when He returns as the Lion of Judah! 

I have been praying to be able to spread the Gospel and bring souls into the Kingdom with boldness. I do believe that my prayers have been answered because yesterday, after an attack from the enemy, I immediately rose up like the lioness of Judah! I hope you too will rise up and let your roar be heard.

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

Weak Heart, Strong God...

The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. That goes for a lot of us. We have to continually build up our spirit so it will be strong and unwavering. Like anything else, it needs time to cultivate, grow and test the waters.

For those times when it seems like you just cannot find the strength to move forward, just remember...Y'shua (Jesus) is holding your heart and He is a Strong God. He will NEVER leave or forsake you. 

When you give yourself to Him 100% He is there waiting to step in whenever you need Him. As He was with Abraham, Issac and Jacob, not to mention Noah, Moses and all the Apostles...so He will be with YOU too!

Test Him, give Him a chance to prove His loyalty to you. Just remember that it is a two way street and you have to be willing to give all you have to Him as well.

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