Philippians 4:4-9 “Rejoice in the Lord always – again I will say, rejoice!” Beholding the Lord and having your heart be transformed by the reality of who He is, is undoubtedly one of the most powerful and life changing aspects of life. If we want our lives to be transformed into the likeness of Yeshua our Messiah, if we desire to be strong in our faith and be able to rejoice in the Lord always, in all circumstances, then we must give ourselves time to sit at His feet and meditate on His ...

“Oh, magnify the Lord with me, And let us exalt His name together. I sought the Lord, and He heard me, And delivered me from all my fears” (Psalm 34:3-4 NKJV) Let us share with you just a tidbit of what you’ll hear in the special podcast we’ve put together for you this week. As we are all in this time of waiting because of COVID-19, I encourage you to really consider how you are spending this time and how you think of this season. Right now, especially, whatever we are focusing o...

Philippians 1:27-30 “Only live your lives in a manner worthy of the Good News of the Messiah. Then, whether I come and see you or I am absent, I may hear of you that you are standing firm in one spirit – striving side by side with one mind for the faith of the Good News, and not being frightened in anyway by your opponents. For them, this is a sign of destruction, but for you salvation – and that from God. For to you was granted for Messiah’s sake not only to trust in Him, but also to suffer ...

Tasha* thought the tumor was going to kill her. You could see the fear in her eyes. She had been to the doctor and they hadn’t been able to do anything to get rid of it. Her biggest worry was who would take care of her children because her husband had died. That’s why Tasha was very emotional when she walked into our prayer tent during our Medical Outreach event in Zimbabwe. As a Believer, Tasha knew prayer could make a difference and she desperately hoped it would. In the name of Jesus...

Shall a nation be brought forth in one moment? By God’s miraculous hand, yes. Isaiah 66:8 prophesied the miraculous, overnight rebirth of Israel as a nation. On May 14, 1948, it came true. The Zionist Movement, however, was active for decades before then. Jewish people around the globe stirred with a passion for returning to the Land God had given them in His promise to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. The cause gained support from various governments and officials. The region that was once Israe...

How many of us mourn on our nation’s Memorial Day? For most of us, the losses sustained in winning or defending our country’s freedom are something distant, removed from us by time or geography. Or compared to the vastness of our population, the number of people directly affected are relatively few. For example, in America, because our Memorial Day occurs the last Monday of May, it has also come to symbolize the start of summer, leading much of the country toward recreation or rest rather tha...

Philippians 1:18b-21 “Yes, and I will keep rejoicing, for I know that this will turn out for my deliverance, through your intercession and the help of the Ruach of Messiah Yeshua. My eager expectation and hope is that in no way will I be put to shame, but that with complete boldness Messiah will even now, as always, be exalted in my body – whether through life or through death. For to me, to live is Messiah and to die is gain.” Yes, let us also keep rejoicing through every circumstance ...

Philippians 1:12-14 “Now I want you to know, brothers and sisters, that what has happened to me has actually resulted in the advancement of the Good News. And so, my imprisonment in the cause of Messiah has become well known throughout the Praetorian Guard and to everyone else. Because of my imprisonment, most of the brothers and sisters have become confident in the Lord to dare more than ever to speak the message fearlessly.” What incredible verses, reminding us that not even trials and...

Philippians 1:6 “I am SURE of this very thing – that He who began a GOOD work in you WILL carry it on to COMPLETION until the Day of Messiah Yeshua” It is easy for the human heart to get discouraged during times of trial, and to feel as though the difficult circumstances surrounding us are somehow hindering the work of God in our lives. However, the Scriptures paint a different reality in that, despite these circumstances, God is there completing the good work He has faithfully started i...

Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him. —James 1:12 As you know, we count as blessed those who have persevered. You have heard of Job’s perseverance and have seen what the Lord finally brought about. The Lord is full of compassion and mercy. —James 5:11 As the last day of this journey into the book of James comes to a close, I want to draw your attention to t...
