No Victims

 Before we get all twisted with the title let me be clear, people can be victimized. I am aware that there are victims of crimes. We are talking concisely and spiritually there are no victims. God did not say "by the devil's hand you are condemned." In fact it's by your own words.

Job 9:20 NET Although I am innocent, my mouth would condemn me; although I am blameless, it would declare me perverse.

Job 15:6 NET Your own mouth condemns you, not I; your own lips testify against you.

Mat 12:37 NET For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”

 When I say there are no victims I am saying that we all have a choice to make. We are either taking responsibility for our faith or we are blaming others for our sin. The Word tells us over and over to confess our sins and return to the ways of the Lord. Examples:

1Ki 8:35-36 NET 35 “The time will come when the skies are shut up tightly and no rain falls because your people sinned against you. When they direct their prayers toward this place, renew their allegiance to you, and turn away from their sin because you punish them, 36 then listen from heaven and forgive the sin of your servants, your people Israel. Certainly you will then teach them the right way to live and send rain on your land that you have given your people to possess.

1Jn 1:9-10 NET 9 But if we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous, forgiving us our sins and cleansing us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we say we have not sinned, we make him a liar and his word is not in us.

 By becoming the victim we never take responsibility, nothing in our life is our fault and we are blameless. We would then stand before the Lord declaring our selves clean and in no need of salvation.  We would not need Him, we would be separated from Him forever. By defending ourselves we are fighting for our lives and not dying for Yeshua to live within us. We must admit that we are not worthy of Heaven and deserve hell, humble ourselves, and because of our love for YHVH and all He has done for us we allow that part of us to DIE. The Good News is that we can die spiritually before our bodies die allowing for a NEW life to be born in us, one that is Yeshua. That is why it is written-

Mat 16:25 NET For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.

 The world tells us that we are perfect and powerful and equal to God... when in fact we are fixated on evil and weak to sin and far removed from God. We must let go of all that is in our control and ask ABBA YHVH what He wants us to do, and as His Son Yeshua He will answer us and guide us to His Will. 

Luk 22:42 NET “Father, if you are willing, take this cup away from me. Yet not my will but yours be done.”

Eat, Drink, Be Merry

   Ecc 2:24 KJV There is nothing better for a man, than that he should eat and drink, and that he should make his soul enjoy good in his labour. This also I saw, that it was from the hand of God.  Many Christians fall victim to a false teaching that claims YHVH's favor can be earned through good works. Counter to this point is the fact that our righteousness is offensive to YHVH, compared to menstrual rags even.   On the other side of this misguided spectrum we find Christians that believe that we are free from the burden of sin, meaning that we can sin with no consequences.   I believe that the reality falls somewhere in the middle of these two extremes.   Ecclesiastes is considered one of the wisdom books. A deep study of Ecclesiastes should be standard for anyone trying to understand how to live biblically. Solomon explains how all our pursuits either good or wicked are pointless.   Ecc 7:16 KJV Be not righteous over much; neither m...

The answer is Yeshua

 Its no wonder that the Christian faith is dying. Every Christian seems to have the answers to life but none of them agree on what they are. What is the name of God? Is Jesus God or the Son of God? Is the Sabbath on Saturday or Sunday or seven days after the new moon? Is the new moon of the bible the full moon of today? Can we eat pork? Is the cross on your wall a graven image? What if we disobeyed our parents, does that mean I am going to die young?  Somewhere we have lost the point of the Gospel of Yeshua, The Salvation of YHVH. What does it mean to follow Yeshua? It would seem that most Christians believe it means to act like God.  The highest capacity churches are not preaching a message of repentance. The megachurches are preaching power to get health and wealth. Some by money and some by acts. Some churches teach of "the power of prayer" and "prayer circles" to see the manifestation of desires. They call these "miracles".  Some churches teach that we...

Spirits

Spirits Updated October 2025 John 4:24 KJV God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. Let me ask a question that may feel uncomfortable at first. If God is a Spirit, why do we try and create a second spirit? Scripture says YHVH is Spirit, yet we often speak of “the Spirit of God” as if it were separate. In my opinion it isn’t. There is one Spirit, and that Spirit is Love. Scripture names many spirits: spirit of jealousy, spirit of fear, a broken spirit, a contrite spirit, even evil spirits. But the spirit of a man is his core motive, his driving force, not an emotion. In the Book of Enoch (not canon, but helpful here), the Nephilim are punished and their spirits bound to the earth. Those restless spirits are what we call demons, I wonder what there motives could be. Spirits and emotions are deeply linked. Anger, fear, envy, lust, these are not mere feelings; they are spirits. So when every motive is ruled by raw emotion, a man becomes demonic. T...
