Although the Bible records the glorious events surrounding the birth of Yahshua (Jesus), there is no biblical record of the exact day, month, or observance of His blessed divine birthday.
“All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” “Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need” and to “go forth and sin no more.”
“Now is the day of salvation.” Hear what the Spirit is saying! Don’t harden your heart. The only sin that will keep you out of His eternal loving presence is the sin of arrogance and pride that says, “I don’t need a Savior.”
These prophetic teachings are filled with the glistening sword of Yahshua’s (Jesus’s) love and uncompromised Word. Come and taste and see how good He is as He equips and feeds you from His pure banqueting table!
Although we start out with sincere hearts, as someone starts out on a journey, we must not veer a little to the right or to the left or we will end up so far away from our desired destination; far from the Presence of the Most High.
The Almighty is crying for His children to come out of the world and be holy to Him. He gave His Son to die on the stake at Calvary. In return, we can no longer be halfhearted lip servers who serve the cravings of this world.
True disciples must “count the cost” to stay on the narrow path. Yahshua (Jesus) continually cautions His disciples to “be on guard,” making it clear that although many would want to, only a remnant would enter Heaven.
My God and Savior, have mercy and cleanse and purify me of all my cravings, every desire of my appetites, whether for things, notoriety, position, comfort, or my own vain glory and selfish ambition.
Apart from the blood of the Savior and a repentant heart, the sins that are not repented for, that are not pulled out by the very root, go down to our children. “Search me, O Yahveh, show me the roots that are so offensive to You.
“Take care, brethren, there not be in any one of you an evil, unbelieving heart that falls away from the living God. But encourage one another day after day … so that none of you will be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.”
Satan is out to destroy us when we open the door to sin. We must keep our eyes fixed on Yahshua (Jesus), the safeguard against the deadly serpent bites, against the sinful nature, and the consequence of sin, which is death.
The time of ignorance is over when you know the truth, but there are plenty of times we do what is wrong and we justify it. Self-justification is like Satan from the Garden of Eden, repeating, “Did Yahveh really say that?”
It is not too late to turn back, but we have to return to Him with all of our hearts. “Therefore repent and return, so that your sins may be wiped away, in order that times of refreshing may come from the presence of Yahveh” (Acts 3:19).
Yahveh is a jealous God; we are not share the affection that is due to Him with anyone or anything else. It is all for Him. “He will strongly support those whose hearts are completely His …” (2 Chronicles 16:9).
You will have to continually choose as you keep mastering sin that is crouching at your door like a demon wanting to master you. This is the way of YAHveh. This is the way of the elect into eternity.
YAHshua (Jesus) says His sheep hear His voice and He is leading us into paths of righteousness for His name’s sake. HalleluYAH! He is coming for those who are walking in His ways and are waiting for Him in righteousness.
YAHshua (Jesus) prepare us in our hearts for these days that are coming, that we might know Your laws, know Your Commandments, and wholeheartedly obey them as we listen carefully to all that Your word says.
When the LORD came to dwell on Mount Sinai amongst His chosen people He delivered through Moses the Ten Commandments giving His standards for living to His delivered children for then and for now.
