Peace and Comfort

  Comfort is cancer to the spirit. It is when we find ourselves uncomfortable that we are motivated to change. The complacency of comfort leads to spiritual atrophy. When you are not using your faith it becomes weakened, or worse, forgotten. Our modern world tells us that comfort in this life equals success, the problem is that we are not living for this life as a Christian. More accurately the problem is that Christian's have forgotten their purpose, why we have hope, and what we are looking forward to. 

Rom 8:36 KJV As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.

 There is comfort for the believer, it comes from YHVH! We are called to take up our cross, self death, and follow Yeshua. We share in His suffering, doing what is right no matter what it cost us. Trust in YHVH to take care of your needs and stop seeking your comfort. Seek first YHVH and His will, pursue Yeshua and take care of others needs before your own.

2Co 1:3-4 KJV 3 Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; 4 Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.

YHVH, Yeshua, others, that is the order of our efforts. Stop seeking peace in your life, seek to produce peace in the lives of others. When we take up the cross we take on persecution and suffering, compassion for the lost leads to sorrow and grief. These are the things that we shall seek, death to self and life to Yeshua! Remeber what we are awaiting, stop trying to have your best life now and start storing your treasures in Heaven. Please Christian, I beg you to read your Bible and remeber the Lord before you get to comfortable with your peaceful life. Seek YHVH and His will not peace and comfort. Allow our Father in Heaven to provide for you peace and comfort, its is for you to give peace and comfort to others! Without Yeshua we have no hope, no future, and no peace.

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 Spirit of Love

 My last post I revealed how emotions are spirits and how there are different types of spirits. There is a spirit of a man (i.e. his motives or his driving force), there is a spirit like a wind or a breathe (like an invisible force), and there is a spirit like an emotion (a feeling). My argument is that Love is a spirit but not an emotional spirit but rather a driving force. If the Holy Spirit of YHVH is Love then it would do us well to understand what Love is.  We always hear about the different types of love in the Greek. We will talk about these types of "love" but we will need to go beyond the Greek and into the Hebrew to see the Love that is YHVH. Definitions sighted from https://www.google.com/amp/s/greekcitytimes.com/2020/02/14/the-8-ancient-greek-words-for-love/ Eros (romantic, passionate love, lust) Philia (affectionate love, friendship) Agape (selfless, universal love) Storge (familiar love) Mania (obsessive love) Ludus (playful love) Pragma (enduring love) P...

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...
