One statement, well there have been many statements in this book that have held my attention; but, this one today from the book Un-Saved Christian, The Cost of Disobedience by Rebecca Ruth, well, let me tell you:
“Without His Word, you will fall away.”.

I think she is right. I was going to say more than right but that’s a bit much, isn’t it?
How can one be more than right? 

Without His Word, you will fall away. 

Without DAILY intake of Scripture, we will fall away from following JESUS.
It will happen — so, let’s just don’t let it happen!
Perhaps on the first day, we miss reading, we will not notice a waning of fellowship but within a short time the world will wear on us and we will respond in kind.

So let us just head off the flesh, the world, and the devil, at the pass and read Scripture daily. 

One of the many things for which I pray is that I may be enabled to connect more People with more Scripture. 
Scripture is our food.
It’s our bread, milk, and meat; and without it, we will starve off the Vine.  John 15:1-8

Please check out these passages: 1 Peter 2:2; Hebrews 5:11-13; 1 Corinthians 3:1-3

And if you are participating in the Weekly Planner Reading, today is Ezekiel 11.

GODLY Advice

A quick good morning!

In John 21 a conversation between YESHUA and Peter is recorded for our learning. 

Peter has a question: 21 Peter asked Jesus, “What about him, Lord?” 

And the response?

We might not like it. 
But I am convinced it’s GODLY advice. :)

22 Yeshua said to him, “If I want him to stay on until I come, what is it to you? You, follow me!

You, follow me!

I am confident within the Whole Counsel of GOD we are commanded to be concerned for one another; we are to be our Brothers’ keepers, so to speak. 
BUT, when we are keeping tabs on our brothers and sisters because we fear they may be getting more attention or this or that, than we . . .  well, JESUS would say to us: what is it to you? You, follow me!

Day of Grace

Friday is upon us!

 

John 13 so rich, So full! 
Whatever Translation you choose. 
For me, I am SO enjoying my Complete Jewish Bible for these Chapter readings.

I shared some thoughts with Friends on my Facebook Page; I have an additional thought to share here with you.

21 After saying this, Yeshua, in deep anguish of spirit, declared, “Yes, indeed! I tell you that one of you will betray me.” 
source 

Now if you have read verse 3, I think you would be settled in believing that Yeshua KNEW who He was; He was secure in His GOD/MANhood. 

May I say to you, His deep anguish of spirit was not because His feelings were hurt that Judas was about to turn Him over to a Kangeroo Court that would lead to His death?
No. 
He loved Judas. 
His deep anguish of spirit was not ‘after all I have done for him and he can treat me like this!’ 

No. Jesus’ deep anguish of spirit, I believe, was that Judas was lost and was about to be longer redeemable. 

27 As soon as Y’hudah took the piece of matzah, the Adversary went into him. “What you are doing, do quickly!” Yeshua said to him.
source

Do you see it?
The Adversary went into him. 
We are not talking demon possession here. No.
This is Satan possession!
I think Satan will do that one more time before he is finally put away — when he enters the Anti-Christ.  (but that’s another lesson)

Did Judas do this of his own free will? 
Absolutely! 

And it gave Jesus deep anguish in His spirit — again, He loved Judas. 

He loves YOU. 
And IF you can still hear Holy Spirit offering you the gifts of repentance and salvation from death, sin, hell, and the grave  — it’s NOT too late for you — You have not yet sinned away your day of grace! 

Saints!
We must know who we are in Jesus so our feelings get hurt a whole lot less and we learn to grieve a whole lot more over sin and the lostness of people without Jesus.

John 12 is too wonderful, too large, too great for me to even comment on at this moment. 

If you have not read it today — would you please before you lay your head on your pillow?
You can even open YouVersion app on your phone and have it read to you. 
Or even listen below. 

Good evening my friends.
