“You mockers! Look, and marvel, and die! For in your own time, I am doing a work that you simply will not believe, even if someone explains it to you.”
Acts 13:41 CJB

There will always be people who will just not believe, they mock and deny the LORD and every chance they get! They just won’t listen, no matter what you say and do!

“Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who change darkness into light and light into darkness, who change bitter into sweet and sweet into bitter.”
Isaiah 5:20 CJB

The world is full of self-centered people who deny the LORD! So what should we do? We should just keep living for the LORD and don’t waste our time with deniers!

“Woe to those seeing themselves as wise, esteeming themselves as clever.”
Isaiah 5:21 CJB

Today, let’s not get caught up in senseless arguments, but instead be caught up in the LORD! Sharing with those who want to listen and walking away from those who don’t!
Have a blessed day in Him!

“The Cohen will examine him, and if he sees the scab has spread on his skin, then the Cohen will declare him unclean; it is Tzara`at (Leprosy, sin).”
Leviticus 13:8 CJB

We all should take time and examine ourselves to see if there is anything unclean that needs to be removed or dealt with!

“Examine me, Adonai, test me, search my mind and heart.”
Psalm 26:2 CJB

When we actually search our hearts and minds, we may find things that need to be changed or removed, because it’s unclean!

“A time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to discard.”

Today, take some time to search, give up, discard and clean up!
Have a blessed day!
Shabbat Shalom.

“Then Kefa (Peter) came to himself and said, Now I know for sure that the LORD sent His angel to rescue me from Herod’s power and from everything the Judean people were hoping for.”
Acts 12:11 CJB

Here we see Kefa (Peter) locked up in jail and the believers praying for his release and the LORD sends an angel to bust Him out!

“He knocked at the outside door, and a servant named Rhoda came to answer. She recognized Kefa’s voice and was so happy that she ran back in without opening the door, and announced that Kefa was standing outside. You’re out of your mind! they said to her. But she insisted it was true. So they said, It is his angel.”
Acts 12:13-15 CJB

We can do the same thing, fervently pray for something, believing the LORD will answer and when He does, we sometimes doubt or don’t believe!

“Instantly the father of the child exclaimed, I do trust-help my lack of trust!”
Mark 9:24 CJB

We can believe with all our hearts that Yeshua is the LORD! But we may get into situations were we think the LORD may not get us out saying things like: “Like that’s gonna happen” or “maybe for others, but not for me”. Realize the LORD is gonna get us through and He always answers us when we call!
Have a blessed day in Him!
Shabbat Shalom!

“Therefore, if God gave them the same gift as He gave us after we had come to put our trust in the LORD Yeshua the Messiah, who was I to stand in God’s way? On hearing these things, they stopped objecting and began to praise God, saying, This means that God has enabled the Goyim as well to do t`shuvah (repentance) and have life.”
Acts 11:17-18 CJB

This was huge here to the Messianic Jews that Gentiles could be saved just like them! Problem is we often times look at other people thinking they can’t be saved! It was always God’s plan that the world would come to believe through His people Israel!

“I, Adonai, called you righteously, I took hold of you by the hand, I shaped you and made you for the people, to be light for the Goyim, so that you can open blind eyes, free the prisoners from confinement, those living in darkness from the dungeon.”
Isaiah 42:6-7 CJB

See the LORD has always made His people Israel to bring light to the world and we get to spread that glorious light also! Don’t think for a minute that God is done with His chosen people the Jewish people or done with the land of Israel!

“I will bring to My holy mountain and make them joyful in my house of prayer; their burnt offerings and sacrifices will be accepted on My altar; for My house will be called a house of prayer for all peoples.”
Isaiah 56:7 CJB

Today, let’s rejoice in the fact that though His people the whole world has the opportunity to accept Yeshua as LORD and Savior!
Have a blessed day in Him!

“Then Kefa (Peter) addressed them: I now understand that God does not play favorites, but that whoever fears Him and does what is right is acceptable to Him, no matter what people he belongs to.”
Acts 10:34-35 CJB

The LORD doesn’t care what ethnic group or nationality you belong to. The LORD looks for those who repent and call on His name!

“What, then, does it say? The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart. -that is, the word about trust which we proclaim, namely, that if you acknowledge publicly with your mouth that Yeshua is LORD and trust in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be delivered.”
Romans 10:8-9 CJB

The LORD has made salvation simple for everyone no matter what color, race or gender you are salvations is just a matter of confessing and repenting!

“Here is the message that He sent to the sons of Israel announcing shalom (peace) through Yeshua the Messiah, who is LORD of everything.”
Acts 10:36 CJB

Today, realize, the LORD has made it easy for everyone, salvation is at the tip of anyones mouth just confess and believe!
Have a blessed day sharing the Good News of Yeshua!
