Is Bread Enough for You?

Does anyone remember when you were so hungry that you ate a slice of bread, or you were so hungry that you ate an air-wich? Some of you may ask, what’s an air-wich? Well, it’s two slices of bread placed together. You may say that you’ve never had that, but if you ever go through any hard time you would know what I mean. You will eat that air-wich like it had meat between those slices of bread. But after eating that bread, you found out that it wasn’t enough, because now your body craves water afterward.

As you can see, the bread wasn’t enough, it just serviced for a short time. So when you compare this to your soul, it needs to be fed as well. So what type of food are you feeding your soul – nourishment or junk food? You may ask, what is junk food for the soul? Well, that would be anything that is contradictory to the bread of life, and that bread of life is found in John 6:22-59:

22 “The day following, when the people which stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was none other boat there, save that one whereinto his disciples were entered, and that Jesus went not with his disciples into the boat, but that his disciples were gone away alone; 23 (Howbeit there came other boats from Tiberias nigh unto the place where they did eat bread, after that the Lord had given thanks:) 24 When the people therefore saw that Jesus was not there, neither his disciples, they also took shipping, and came to Capernaum, seeking for Jesus. 25 And when they had found him on the other side of the sea, they said unto him, Rabbi, when camest thou hither? 26 Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled. 27 Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed. 28 Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? 29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent. 30 They said therefore unto him, What sign shewest thou then, that we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work?

31 Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat. 32 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven. 33 For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world. 34 Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread. 35 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst. 36 But I said unto you, That ye also have seen me, and believe not. 37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. 38 For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. 39 And this is the Father’s will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day. 40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

41 The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, I am the bread which came down from heaven. 42 And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how is it then that he saith, I came down from heaven? 43 Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Murmur not among yourselves. 44 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.

45 It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me. 46 Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father. 47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life. 48 I am that bread of life. 49 Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead. 50 This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die.

51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world. 52 The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat? 53 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. 54 Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. 55 For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. 56 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him. 57 As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me. 58 This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever. 59 These things said he in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum.”

We need to understand that Yeshua is the only source of all mankind, and His Word, and will for us is nourishment to our soul and bones.

John 4:31-34:

31 “In the mean while his disciples prayed him, saying, Master, eat. 32 But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of. 33 Therefore said the disciples one to another, Hath any man brought him ought to eat? 34 Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.”

In my conclusion remember Matthew 4:4:

“But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.”

Can You See the Handwriting in Front of Your Face?

As we approach these last days of this age, we should be preparing ourselves for changes in this world, and for changes in us. As a child of the King, Yeshua Christ, you should pay more attention to the Holy Ghost and/or the move of God in your life – whether you’re saved or unsaved.

Have you ever felt, or even noticed a change in you, or a pull in a direction plus a change in your observation on the direction of your life? In some cases, the Lord is telling you in time to make a change in your way of thinking.

Let’s read an event that happened in the Bible, turn with me to Daniel 5:1-30:

5 Belshazzar the king made a great feast to a thousand of his lords, and drank wine before the thousand. 2 Belshazzar, whiles he tasted the wine, commanded to bring the golden and silver vessels which his father Nebuchadnezzar had taken out of the temple which was in Jerusalem; that the king, and his princes, his wives, and his concubines, might drink therein. 3 Then they brought the golden vessels that were taken out of the temple of the house of God which was at Jerusalem; and the king, and his princes, his wives, and his concubines, drank in them. 4 They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone. 5 In the same hour came forth fingers of a man’s hand, and wrote over against the candlestick upon the plaister of the wall of the king’s palace: and the king saw the part of the hand that wrote. 6 Then the king’s countenance was changed, and his thoughts troubled him, so that the joints of his loins were loosed, and his knees smote one against another. 7 The king cried aloud to bring in the astrologers, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers. And the king spake, and said to the wise men of Babylon, Whosoever shall read this writing, and shew me the interpretation thereof, shall be clothed with scarlet, and have a chain of gold about his neck, and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom. 8 Then came in all the king’s wise men: but they could not read the writing, nor make known to the king the interpretation thereof. 9 Then was king Belshazzar greatly troubled, and his countenance was changed in him, and his lords were astonied. 10 Now the queen by reason of the words of the king and his lords came into the banquet house: and the queen spake and said, O king, live for ever: let not thy thoughts trouble thee, nor let thy countenance be changed: 11 There is a man in thy kingdom, in whom is the spirit of the holy gods; and in the days of thy father light and understanding and wisdom, like the wisdom of the gods, was found in him; whom the king Nebuchadnezzar thy father, the king, I say, thy father, made master of the magicians, astrologers, Chaldeans, and soothsayers; 12 Forasmuch as an excellent spirit, and knowledge, and understanding, interpreting of dreams, and shewing of hard sentences, and dissolving of doubts, were found in the same Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar: now let Daniel be called, and he will shew the interpretation. 13 Then was Daniel brought in before the king. And the king spake and said unto Daniel, Art thou that Daniel, which art of the children of the captivity of Judah, whom the king my father brought out of Jewry? 14 I have even heard of thee, that the spirit of the gods is in thee, and that light and understanding and excellent wisdom is found in thee. 15 And now the wise men, the astrologers, have been brought in before me, that they should read this writing, and make known unto me the interpretation thereof: but they could not shew the interpretation of the thing: 16 And I have heard of thee, that thou canst make interpretations, and dissolve doubts: now if thou canst read the writing, and make known to me the interpretation thereof, thou shalt be clothed with scarlet, and have a chain of gold about thy neck, and shalt be the third ruler in the kingdom. 17 Then Daniel answered and said before the king, Let thy gifts be to thyself, and give thy rewards to another; yet I will read the writing unto the king, and make known to him the interpretation. 18 O thou king, the most high God gave Nebuchadnezzar thy father a kingdom, and majesty, and glory, and honour: 19 And for the majesty that he gave him, all people, nations, and languages, trembled and feared before him: whom he would he slew; and whom he would he kept alive; and whom he would he set up; and whom he would he put down. 20 But when his heart was lifted up, and his mind hardened in pride, he was deposed from his kingly throne, and they took his glory from him: 21 And he was driven from the sons of men; and his heart was made like the beasts, and his dwelling was with the wild asses: they fed him with grass like oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven; till he knew that the most high God ruled in the kingdom of men, and that he appointeth over it whomsoever he will. 22 And thou his son, O Belshazzar, hast not humbled thine heart, though thou knewest all this;23 But hast lifted up thyself against the Lord of heaven; and they have brought the vessels of his house before thee, and thou, and thy lords, thy wives, and thy concubines, have drunk wine in them; and thou hast praised the gods of silver, and gold, of brass, iron, wood, and stone, which see not, nor hear, nor know: and the God in whose hand thy breath is, and whose are all thy ways, hast thou not glorified: 24 Then was the part of the hand sent from him; and this writing was written. 25 And this is the writing that was written, Mene, Mene, Tekel, Upharsin. 26 This is the interpretation of the thing: Mene; God hath numbered thy kingdom, and finished it. 27 Tekel; Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting. 28 Peres; Thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians. 29 Then commanded Belshazzar, and they clothed Daniel with scarlet, and put a chain of gold about his neck, and made a proclamation concerning him, that he should be the third ruler in the kingdom. 30 In that night was Belshazzar the king of the Chaldeans slain. 31 And Darius the Median took the kingdom, being about threescore and two years old.

Whose Member are You Today?

In society there are different social groups and organizations. For instance, take Boy and Girl Scouts of the United States or for any country; or in high school as a kid growing up and who doesn’t know or understand this world, we look for something to attach our physical and our emotions to in order to feel a part of something. A sense of belonging or fitting into others that may look like you, and to keep that unanimity among all those who wanted to be a part of the whole group. They will have everyone to dress the same, walk the same, and talk the same, for the purposes of unanimity. And now, when others treat them with love and kindness, they will attach themselves to that group of people.

Take for instance, how other countries and their military have their same unique uniforms associated with their countries. Or for example, in the Olympics sports teams playing other teams from another country, every country was recognized by the flag of their countries and each country’s flag was made into their uniforms. Every country present was proud of the medals of their own country’s athletes’ achievements.  But this started back when they were a part of a team of unity, with one goal in mind. They understood that in order to win they had to be one in thought, focus, and action performance. 

But if you look at where it all began, the decision came from wanting to be a part of something bigger than themselves so they did what it took to be a part. They didn’t give up in spite of the stress, the attacks, the loneliness, and no time for themselves because they saw the bigger picture. Some get caught in themselves saying, “I’m missing out on having a good time”, having a selfish mentality, thinking as long as their main concerns are met… which is their happy place. 

Read in Romans 6:12-17:

​​12 “Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. 13 Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God. 14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace. 15 What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid. 16 Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? 17 But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.“

In your emotions and “I’m feeling good-mindset” then you say, everything is okay. This word is not about you; it’s about what you are doing to help others know the truth about themselves and how you can help someone go through sometimes simple things in life. When you allow things to hold you back from your goals, no matter how small things may seem, the impact will always be bigger than what you could ever know. 

Take for instance in Luke 15:10 – “Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.“

Can we bring one person outside of ourselves to know the truth? Know matter what you might believe, understand this, there’s only one of two you can serve: that’s God or the devil. The choice is always ours, but know this, if your’e not serving Yeshua there’s only one that’s left, and that is the devil and death!

Read in Jeremiah 17:5-10:

5 “Thus saith the Lord; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the Lord. 6 For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited. 7 Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is. 8 For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit. 9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? 10 I the Lord search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.“

How can we, who do know, just neglect such a great call on our life to serve man. And not because of our religiosity, mindset, and our emotional selfishness. 

Mark 7:18-23:

18 And he saith unto them, Are ye so without understanding also? Do ye not perceive, that whatsoever thing from without entereth into the man, it cannot defile him; 19 Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats? 20 And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man. 21 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, 22 Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: 23 All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.

In my closing I’ll leave you with this, let’s read Proverbs 14:12-17:

12 There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. 13 Even in laughter the heart is sorrowful; and the end of that mirth is heaviness. 14 The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways: and a good man shall be satisfied from himself. 15 The simple believeth every word: but the prudent man looketh well to his going. 16 A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil: but the fool rageth, and is confident. 17 He that is soon angry dealeth foolishly: and a man of wicked devices is hated.”

And it is so in Yeshua’s name!

Let the Redeemed of the Lord Say Oh or Is It Say So

How many of you know without a shadow of doubt that Jesus, “Yahshua” has healed, delivered, or even set you free when you knew you where bound? Have any of you faked any part of your deliverance from sin?
When was the last time you felt the Lord’s presence? How many of you are still searching for Yahshua’s presence in your heart, mind and soul? Do you feel like your life is a merry go round and you can’t find a way off? Are you causing an effect on life or is life affecting your life? Is this world getting you down or are you getting down in this world?

Psalms 107:2 says, “Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy…”

The word Redeemed means:

  1. To obtain the release or restoration of, as from captivity, by paying a ransom.
  2. Theology. to deliver from sin and its consequences by means of a sacrifice offered for the sinner.
    —Related forms pre·re·deem, verb (used with object) un·re·deemed, adjective

I believe that one of the first things we should commit to memory after being baptized is what is found in 1 Peter 1:3-9:

3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, 5 Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. 6 Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations: 7 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious
than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: 8 Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory: 9 Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.

The Bible also says in Mark 8:34-38:

34 And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. 35 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel’s, the same shall save it. 36 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? 37 Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? 38 Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.

Are there any in the house today who have been redeem? Well let the redeem of the Lord So!

In My Conclusion, I’ll leave you with this closeting thought from Romans 14:10-17:

10 But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. 11 For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God. 12 So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God. 13 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. 14 I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean. 15 But if thy brother be grieved with thy meat, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died. 16 Let not then your good be evil spoken of: 17 For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the
Holy Ghost.

It is rewritten and it is so.

What is the Way to Jesus Heart?

Most of us who love our Lord Yah’shua (Jesus) try in some way to get closer to Jesus or please Him in some way. However, sometimes we reach a point in our walk where we have hit a wall or come to a precipice in communicating with Him, feeling inadequate and challenged or a bit unsure about whether or not we’re going in the right way or doing the right thing in trying to please Yah’shua (Jesus). Some have tried to please His heart by going with how they feel. This is based on their emotional equilibrium and mental instability in their own personal life. We try to reach out to Christ the way we want to reach out to people, equating Him as we would a human being. But God is a Spirit and those who worship Him or communicate with Him must do so in spirit and truth. We’ve tried to reach out to Him through our personal experience with previous relationships. These relationships may have contained elements of anger hurt or pain; We base our emotions and feelings on how others receive us. We try to worship Christ in the same mindset. Sometimes it leaves us in frustration because we’re not sure if He hears us. Maybe you’re talking through pain, instead of love. We’ll look at the aspect that God is a Spirit and you must worship in spirit and truth and that is how we communicate. But I’m going through. I’m an emotional wreck. Sometimes we get very “extra,” when we talk to the Lord. Instead of just coming to one point in your life where you say, just shut up! You just go on and on and on. We want a connection with our Lord and Saviour that will be unbroken, because He is the only one who can see us in that place where no one else sees. Its usually your mind. No one else can see your mind. You know He can because you feel someone dealing with you spiritually. You ask, there must be a God.

The point is that we try to reach God without really reaching Him. We think we’ve reached Him, but we do so with the wrong number. Have you ever dialed a number that was wrong? Sometimes we do that with Christ. Who are we praying to? If we communicate with Christ, how are we communicating to Him? How do we alert Him that we want to get closer to Him? When do you call on the name of Jesus? When you don’t have money, or are sick, or when someone has taken your phone. We need to know one thing: He’s just a prayer away. Its not just a prayer away. You don’t have to pray to Him to talk to Him. Some people say we have get on our knees and talk to Him. We can talk to Him in any way, but the one thing that we don’t do is that we aren’t communicating with Him. We talk to Him, but He doesn’t communicate to you, because you’re talking to Him. You don’t pick up what their heart is because you’re talking. We dump on the Lord, we upload to Him all the junk and everything and then we feel relieved. Then we leave Him and go on, not even waiting for Him to say anything. We’re so use to social media where we upload. But the Lord doesn’t have a feed like there is on social media. When you go to the Lord, He will hear you if you are down. A lot of us will scream as though He’s can’t hear us. The point is that we try to get close to Him sometimes the right way, but its the wrong way because we used it in the past and thought it worked. We can’t talk to Him like we do our mother, brother, sister or father. Why? They don’t know you like He knows you. So come to Him real, because you can’t hide anything from Him. Be honest with Him and real with Him. Don’t come with a pretend mind, telling Him something, but secretly withholding something else.

This might be stranger then fiction. Maybe you just might be trying too hard. In prayer time, it seems like we have to be broken down, on the ground, worn out; it took you 1 hour of breathing, sweating, snotting and crying to realize that you aren’t any good. We try so hard to get people to hear us that we try doing the same thing with Christ, resulting in failure, though He heard it, but didn’t like the way He heard it. The Bible says surely we should cast our cares on Him because He cares for us. But it didn’t say we should upload to Him and never receive a download. Why do you download the latest version of a software update on your phone? So that it can function properly. So why do you keep uploading to Christ, and never receive a download so you can function properly? The problem is we upload, upload, upload and upload.

1. Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 2. For by it the elders obtained a good report. 3. Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. 4. By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh. 5. By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God. 6:But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. 7 By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith. 8 By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went. 9 By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise:10 For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God.


Hebrews 11:1-25

Enoch pleased God. Do you want to please God? The first thing you must have is, A) Faith (Hebrew 11:5-25). We ask people everyday to have faith in us. To trust us, to count on us, to love us. We ask this everyday, and Christ asks this to! To have faith in Him. He said have faith the size of a grain of a mustard seed. Just that little amount of faith. When a man and woman marry, they are asking one another to have faith in their relationship, because you are entrusting your heart to that person. You want them to have faith that they’ll give you their heart. Faith is so powerful; to have faith in what you don’t even see. Enoch had so much faith that the Lord took him, and he didn’t see death. Noah had faith that some of us would never have. If someone called you up and told you to build an ark big enough to house every animal in the world what would you do? Noah built for x number of years, even at ridicule from those around. What sort of faith should we have when the Lord tells us to trust Him? B) Obedience is also needed to please God as found Jeremiah 7:21-23. The Bible says obedience is better than sacrifice. How could you go to the Lord and tell Him how great He is and tell Him that you love Him, but don’t do what He asks? Do you want someone to be obedient to what you say to do, or do you just want them to love you? If you love them, you will be obedient to them. Most of the time we tell them we love them, but we also have to show it. The Lord says, “If you love Me, keep My commandments.” We always want someone to prove to us that they do in fact love us. Christ is saying the same thing. Telling Him that we love Him and not showing Him means nothing. The next quality needed to please God is, C) Humility, as stated in James 4:6-10. We all have the issue where we can’t please ourselves let alone please God.

6 But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.9 Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness.10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.

James 4:6-10

D).Love is need to please God. Romans 8:38-39 38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Romans 8:38-39

There is no love. The love of people has grown cold. The lack of love is the lack of faith, obedience and humility. This is why you can’t reach Christ, because if you’re missing one of these attributes, you’ll not grow closer to Christ. You say you have a lot of faith, but faith without works is dead. It all comes full circle to, “If you love Me, you’ll do what I ask.” Many say they love Him and have a personal relationship with Him but they don’t do anything for Him. Faith, obedience, humility and love are the beginnings steps to a way to the heart of Yah’shua (Jesus); to please His heart. Enoch had faith, and inside of that was love, obedience and humility.

David is a example in the book of Acts 13:22 22.) And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them David to be their king; to whom also he gave testimony, and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, which shall fulfil all my will.

How can David a murderer and adulter be a man after God’s heart? He knew how to do one thing: ask for forgiveness. He had an issue with obedience, but he worked on it. Some of us don’t even want to work on what we’re going through. Some of us are too busy. We the people of God need to make up our hearts and minds. Are we going to serve God or walk in shadows. Will we walk in the light or in shadows behind the light. The Lord loves those who diligently seek Him. Joshua tells us in Joshua 24:14-15, “Choose ye this day who you will you serve.” And it’s so obvious today that people are struggling with choosing the life in the world and a life in Christ. Others are trying to do both but Christ says you’re either hot or cold. You can’t be both or he’s going to cast you with the cold (Rev.3:15).

When you follow something make sure its the truth. The Lord is very easy. He says just be obedient and have faith in what He says and does, and have humility. Its the same thing we ask in a relationship. I want someone who is loving, humble, has faith in me and obedient. That is all the Lord wants. By you doing that you’ll draw closer to Him. You can commune.

Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.3 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.5 And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.6 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.11 For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.12 Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother’s righteous.13 Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you.14 We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death.15 Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.16 Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.17 But whoso hath this world’s good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?18 My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.19 And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him.20 For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.21 Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God.22 And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.23 And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.24 And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.
