“Then they understood-they were to guard themselves not from yeast for bread but from teaching of the P’rushim and Tz’dukim (Pharisees and Sadducees).”
Matthew 16:12 CJB

This isn’t talking about physical bread, but its talking about what people teach and say!

“Woe to you hypocritical Torah–teachers and P’rushim! You clean the outside of the cup and the dish, but inside they are full of robbery and self-indulgence.”
Matthew 23:25 CJB

The sad thing with many so–called Bible teachers is they talk a great talk, but don’t practice what they teach! This is what Yeshua is warning against! We need to practice what we speak!

“But if a vow passes your lips, you must take care to perform it according to what you voluntarily vowed to Adonai your God, what you promised in words spoken aloud.”
Deuteronomy 23:24 CJB

In other words we must keep our promises, making good on what we say we’ll do! If you’re not going to do it, then don’t say it! The same thing with Bible teachers. If they don’t practice what they preach, then run!
Have a blessed day keeping the words of Yeshua!

“These people honor Me with their lips, but their hearts are far away from Me”
Matthew 15:8 CJB

We all need to be careful of just doing lip service and not being sincere about what we say and do!

“Just let your ‘Yes’ be a simple ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No’ a simple ‘No’; anything more than this has its origin in evil.”
Matthew 5:37 CJB

We need to say what we mean and do what we say! We can’t be half hearted, we need to trust and have faith that works!

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

We need to be people who back up our words with our actions!
Have a blessed day reflecting the glory of Adonai!

“Then Kefa called Him, LORD, if it is really You, tell me to come on the water.”
Matthew 14:28 CJB

We see here Peter stepping out in faith, trusting Adonai! Notice Peter, calls and asks before he steps out, not step then ask!

“Expect great things from God and attempt great things for God.”
William Carey

When God calls us out we need to step out!

“Come! He said. So Kefa got out of the boat and walked on the water toward Yeshua.”
Matthew 14:29 CJB

Understand, Peter, didn’t fail in walking on water! He only failed when he took his eyes off Yeshua! Walking on water is normal to God, walking in the ways of Adonai is abnormal for the world! Why? Because it takes faith and trust in Adonai to walk on water!

“For we live by trust, not by what we see.”
2 Corinthians 5:7 CJB

Like Peter, we are called out by Adonai to walk in places that may seem impossible for us to walk in! We just need to trust and believe God has a perfect amazing plan for us!
Have a blessed day trusting in Adonai!

“And they took offense at Him. But Yeshua said to them, The only place people don’t respect a prophet is in his home and in his own house.”
Matthew 13:57 CJB

One of the most discouraging things is when the people who know you or are part of our life, don’t receive Yeshua because they know your past or just reject God! Because God isn’t visible they instead take their anger out on you!

“He sounds a warning in their ears and orders them to repent of their evil.”
Job 36:10 CJB

There will always be people who are offended with Yeshua! What we need to do his stand with Adonai! Sharing the key to salvation is repenting!

He forgives all your offenses, He heals all your disease.”
Psalm 103:3 CJB

Understand people will reject God, we need to remember, just simply keep sharing!
Have a blessed day!
