Look for opportunities!

“Then He told them, Peoples will fight each other, nations will fight each other, there will be great earthquakes, there will be epidemics and famines in various places, and there will be fearful sights and great signs from Heaven.”

Luke 21:10-11 CJB

These words from Jesus sound like a newspaper headline from today, but, it’s not. It’s what Jesus said two thousand years ago! Should we panic? Absolutely not!

“But it will prove an opportunity for you to bear witness.”

Luke 21:13 CJB

Because we know the words of Jesus, knowing that these things are going to happen. We should be encouraged to share His Good News, especially when we see them happening, so look for opportunities!

“So make up your minds not to worry, rehearsing your defense beforehand; for I myself will give you an eloquence and a wisdom that no adversary will be able to resist or refute.”

Luke 21:14-15 CJB

Today, remember, you are blood bought and bullet proof! So stand firm in Jesus and just look for opportunities to share!

Have a blessed day!

Don’t be fooled

“He answered, Watch out! Don’t be fooled! For many will come in My name, saying, I am he! and, The time has come! Don’t go after them.”

Luke 21:8 CJB

We see a lot of people and ministries out there that may talk about God, but really glorify themselves! Be careful! Everything we say and do needs to glorify the LORD being centered on Him and around Him!

“For the time is coming when people will not have patience for sound teaching, but will cater to their passions and gather around themselves teachers who say whatever their ears itch to hear. Yes, they will stop listening to the truth, but will turn aside to follow myths.”

2 Timothy 4:3-4 CJB

We need to be careful of listening to speeches, teachings and preachings that don’t line up with the word of God! We need to check and confirm, study and know!

“I treasure Your word in my heart, so that I won’t sin against You.”

Psalm 119:11 CJB

Today, don’t be fooled and the way not to be fooled is; to be in the word of God, hearing it and doing it!

Have a blessed day walking with the LORD!

Shabbat Shalom.

Freedom

“I will free you from the grasp of the wicked and redeem you from the clutches of the ruthless.”

Jeremiah 15:21 CJB

The LORD has promised us He will release us, set us free from the bondages and the hold of sin! He will redeem us!

“The Spirit of Adonai Elohim is upon me, because Adonai has anointed me to announce good news to the poor. He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted; to proclaim freedom to the captives, to let out into light those bound in dark; to proclaim the year of favor of Adonai and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn.”

Isaiah 61:1-2 CJB

The good news is the LORD has done this. We are set free from our sins! Also, He will deal with the God-rejecting, sinful world we live in. What we get to do is rejoice in His salvation, reflect His marvelous light and comfort those who mourn!

“Let everything that has breath praise Adonai! Hallelujah!”

Psalm 150:6 CJB

Today, let’s rejoice in our freedom in the LORD, but also share that freedom with those who are lost and need salvation!

Have a blessed day rejoicing in the fact we are free!
