“Therefore, openly acknowledge your sins to one another, and pray for each other, so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.”
James 5:16 CJB

One of the best ways to keep the enemy from messing with us is to be open and honest! Just tell the truth!

“When I acknowledge my sin to you, when I stopped concealing my guilt, and said, I will confess my offenses to Adonai; then You, You forgave the guilt of my sin.”
Psalm 32:5 CJB

The biggest problem in the world, and also in believers, is hiding and covering of our sins instead of just being open and honest! When we are truthful, there is nothing for the enemy to use as a weapon to cause doubt!

“So Yeshua said to the Judeans who trusted Him, If you obey what I say, then you are really My talmidim (disciples), you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
John 8:31-32 CJB

Today, let’s be open and honest, confessing and praying about our sins, giving nothing for the enemy to hold onto! Be careful of covering and hiding. That’s always when problems start!
Have a blessed day in the LORD!

“Rather, I am making it both with him who is standing here with us today before Adonai our God and also with him who is here with us today.”
Deuteronomy 29:14 CJB

Good question for us today: Who are we standing with? These words aren’t only for the people of ancient days, but they are for us today also! Realize, there is so much misinformation and misleading stuff out there. The only thing that we can truly trust is the LORD!

“Make me hear of Your love in the morning, because I rely on You. Make me know the way I should walk because I entrust myself to You.”
Psalm 143:8 CJB

As we can see how unreliable the world is and unfortunately even so- called preachers and teachers of the LORD are untrustworthy! We really need God’s word to guide us!

“For I, Adonai, your God, say to you, as I hold your right hand, Have no fear; I will help you.”
Isaiah 41:13 CJB

Today, we really need to be relying on the LORD, knowing we can always stand strong in Him!
Have a blessed day!
Shabbat Shalom!

“So then, anyone who knows the right thing to do and fails to do it is committing a sin.”
James 4:17 CJB

In other words, we know when we are saying and doing things wrong, sinning!

“Don’t deceive yourselves by only hearing what the Word says, but do it.”
James 1:22 CJB

The LORD has given us greatguide lines in His word to do what is right and walk in His ways!

“Your word is a lamp for my foot and a light on my path.”
Psalm 119:105 CJB

Today, let’s use the greatest tool we have to navigate life, the Word of God!
Have a blessed day!
Shabbat Shalom!

“Out of the same mouth come blessing and cursing! Brothers, it isn’t right for things to be this way.”
James 3:10 CJB

What a strange thing, out of our mouths come blessings and curses! At one moment we are praising the LORD and at the next we are cursing someone! The solution is to be in the word of God and talk about the word of God!

“Let your conversation always be gracious and interesting, so that you will know how to respond to any particular individual.”
Colossians 4:6 CJB

We need to be gracious and interesting, not mean and boring! We need to share His light as we walk in His light!

“In the same way, let your light shine before people, so they may see the good things you do and praise your Father in heaven.”
Matthew 5:16 CJB

Today, let’s be mindful of what we say and do, even when we are alone! Remember, as we are in this ever-getting-darker world, it needs light!
Have a blessed!

“Thus, faith by itself, unaccompanied by actions, is dead.”
James 2:17 CJB

We really can’t say we have faith but don’t act on it! Our faith needs to lead us to works of the LORD! The word faith actually can be translated as trust, that is trusting the LORD is working in our lives. All we have to do is walk in it!

“Indeed, just as the body without spirit is dead, so too faith without actions is dead.”
James 2:26 CJB

We all have decisions to make on a daily basis and we need to just trust our LORD to just get us through!

“As for God, His way is perfect, the word of Adonai has been tested by fire; He shields all who take refuge in Him.”
2 Samual 22:31 CJB

Today, know that the LORD has everything covered. All we have to do is step out and trust He has it all covered!
Have a blessed day following the LORD!
