And Miriam

For I brought thee up out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed thee out of the house of servants; and I sent before thee Moses, Aaron, and Miriam. - Micah 6:4

I found noteworthy that when Yah reports about how He delivered Israel from Egypt, He mentions Miriam as a leader that He sent to Israel. It's very popular to hear of male leaders but female leaders for the most part, are shunned, discouraged, and persecuted. Here is the creator of heaven and earth declaring that He sent as a leader to His house, a woman. What a blessing!

Power, Love and Self-Discipline

2 Timothy 1:7 

For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline.

Adonai has blessed us with power, love and self-discipline, some versions use sound-mind in place of self-discipline. Satan and people however "curse" us with dear. It is worthy to note that fear is not inherent in human but is a learned behavior from an imposed spirit. Whenever, I sense, feel or think fear,I know the evil one is behind it and I stand declaring the word of the Lord of Sabbaoth!

I have not and will not receive the spirit of fear. I have received the spirit of love, power and sound mind, yea, even self discipline in Jesus name. HalleluYAH!

Think About It

Think about it: Just as a parent disciplines a child, the LORD your God disciplines you for your own good.- Deuteronomy 8:5.

The words "Think about it" remind me of the Hebrew word "Selah" which means pause and meditate. We have so many relationships with God but the most intimate, intriguing and involving is the Father-son relationship He has with us. We are not orphans, we have a Father! What a blessing! A Father disciplines...and the discipline is for the good of the child. HalleluYAH, I'll think about it!

God's Friend

So now we can rejoice in our wonderful new relationship with God because our Lord Jesus Christ has made us friends of God. - Romans 5:11

HalleluYah, we can be called God's friends, we have been made friends of God by Yeshua ha Mashiach. What a blessing!

Abba is Able

Ephesians 3:20 ....

(NIV) Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us,

(KJV) Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,

(NLT) Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.

Adonai is able, able to do much more, because He is so much more, let's trust Him. HalleluYah, amein.

On Your Lips

11 "This command I am giving you today is not too difficult for you to understand, and it is not beyond your reach. 12 It is not kept in heaven, so distant that you must ask, `Who will go up to heaven and bring it down so we can hear it and obey?' 13 It is not kept beyond the sea, so far away that you must ask, `Who will cross the sea to bring it to us so we can hear it and obey?' 14 No, the message is very close at hand; it is on your lips and in your heart so that you can obey it." - Deuteronomy 30:11-14

This is the time to SPEAK Adonai's word. Say it, declare it, proclaim it. My new book "Bless me Daily" helps parents to do that over their children. Adonai's commands are not too difficult for us to understand, they are not beyond our reach... they are on our lips and in our hearts, so we can obey it! HalleluYAH!

God Loves You and He has chosen you

We know, dear brothers and sisters, that God loves you and has chosen you to be his own people. - 1 Thessalonians 1:4

What a treasure to know that we are loved by God. We are cared for by the Most High. We are desired by the Creator of heaven and earth, what a blessing! In addition, He has chosen us to be His. We are picked for Him, we belong to Him. He values us highly! Thank You Lord!

Wholehearted Committment to God's Word

Deuteronomy 6:6 And you must commit yourselves wholeheartedly to these commands that I am giving you today. 7 "Repeat them again and again to your children. Talk about them when you are at home and when you are on the road, when you are going to bed and when you are getting up." 8 Tie them to your hands and wear them on your forehead as reminders. 9 Write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates. (NLT)

We are to commit ourselves wholeheartedly to Adonai’s commands. It is a choice to obey God’s word, it is within our willpower to yield to His law or not. What a blessing awaits us and our family members when we value and obey His word! We are to repeat Abba’s instructions to our children, again and again! When we repeat the word, we ignite faith and activate godly wisdom. Yes, we declare the word always, in the morning, at noon, afternoon, evening, night and midnight. We must talk the word with our children at home, outside the home, on the road, in the fields, when we are about to sleep, and we wake up, when we sit, stand, lie down, lean, walk, hop, jump, jog and even run. We are to tie God’s law on our hands and foreheads and write them on our doorposts and gates. Abba’s word is to be studied and remembered. Yes, Adonai wants wholehearted commitment to His Word.

Inner Strength

Ephesians 3:16 I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit.

Only the Spirit of God can give inner strength, He is the energizer of the godhead. More than ever, we need the strength of the Lord. Empower me Abba with inner strength by Your Spirit, bashem Yeshua. Amein!

Essence of Prophecy

Then I fell down at his feet to worship him, but he said, "No, don't worship me. I am a servant of God, just like you and your brothers and sisters who testify about their faith in Jesus. Worship only God. For the essence of prophecy is to give a clear witness for Jesus." - Revelation 19:10 (NLT).

I find it noteable that the essence of prophecy is to give a CLEAR witness for Jesus, yes the purpose of prophecy is to reveal Yeshua plainly. It is also remarkable that testifying about faith in Jesus makes one a servant of God, what a blessing! Yeshua ALONE deserves the praise, worship and adoration. Yeshua is God, and God ALONE must be worshiped. HalleluYAH! Help me Father, bashem Yeshua to reveal Him clearly to others.

Testimony of God

1 John 5: 11 And this is what God has testified: He has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 12 Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have God's Son does not have life. (NLT)

The testimony of God cannot be disproved. The testimony of God cannot be faulty, the testimony of God cannot be denied, the testimony of God cannot be despised. God has given us, not going to give us, not thinking about giving us, but God HAS given us eternal life in Yeshua. What a blessing!

How Kind Adonai is!

The November edition of "Power Must Change Hands" just finished about an hour ago and Dr Olukoya highlighted the prophecy angel Gabriel gave to Mary - Luke 1:35 The angel replied, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the baby to be born will be holy, and he will be called the Son of God."

Gabriel had earlier made a similar prophecy to Zechariah and Elizabeth where she proclaimed; Luke 1:25 "How kind the Lord is!" she exclaimed. "He has taken away my disgrace of having no children."

We (participants in Power must change hands) all prayed for the Holy Spirit to overshadow us... what a blessing! Reading the first chapter of Luke, the following verses resonate - 38 Mary responded, "I am the Lord's servant. May everything you have said about me come true." And then the angel left her.
45 You are blessed because you believed that the Lord would do what he said." [Elizabeth declared this of Mary]
46 Mary responded, "Oh, how my soul praises the Lord.
47 How my spirit rejoices in God my Savior!
48 For he took notice of his lowly servant girl, and from now on all generations will call me blessed.
49 For the Mighty One is holy, and he has done great things for me.
50 He shows mercy from generation to generation to all who fear him......54 He has helped his servant Israel and remembered to be merciful.

Even Zechariah declared in verse 72, He has been merciful to our ancestors by remembering his sacred covenant—

I am awed by Abba's goodness, His mercy, His kindness... what a blessing!
