B.E.S.T. Shabbat

"Woe to the world because of its stumbling blocks! For it is inevitable that stumbling blocks come; but woe to that man through whom the stumbling block comes! (Mat 18:7)

Being steady in the storms of life comes from a certain kind of thinking, a certain perspective. The opposite of that perspective is called a stumbling block, a perspective that causes instability or a double-mindedness, a divided heart.

But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him. But he must ask in faith without any doubting, for the one who doubts is like the surf of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind. For that man ought not to expect that he will receive anything from the Lord, being a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.(Jas 1:5-8).

How do we ask in faith without doubt? Well, the real question is how does doubt come into our thinking? What…

Now He who establishes us with you in Christ and has anointed us is God, who also has sealed us and given us the Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee. (2Co 1:21-22)

Last week we spoke about first love, the quality of the ‘wow factor’ about God and about our relationships. We looked at the place of honor, and seeing with the eyes of the “new”. This is the process of renewal or revival of our heart in the love of the Lord and the love of others in our lives. It is the process of continually being fresh and alive in our love, and not allowing “knowledge” to bring about the slow process of accommodation and death. This week, I want to press in for the other side of the same coin: the steadfast or established heart.

What does it mean to be ‘established’ in something? Our opening scripture gives us…

And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or fields for my sake will receive a hundred times as much and will inherit eternal life. But many who are first will be last, and many who are last will be first. (Mat 19:29-30)

Over the past few months we have been pressing in for love, as the key ingredient that never fails. Prophecies will fail, tongues will cease, and knowledge will be done away with.

Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. (1Co 13:8-10)

The question is wh…

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.  (John 14:27)

Yeshua was and is primarily interested in healing our hearts. The heart and its beliefs and affections rule our lives.

"For as he thinks in his heart, so is he. "Eat and drink!" he says to you, But his heart is not with you." Pro 23:7 (NKJV)

Scientific research has confirmed what the Scriptures have declared for thousands of years, that the heart is a repository of thinking. We think, literally from our hearts.

The human heart has been scientifically proven to have memory independent of the brain. Due to its complex nervous system, it was termed the “little brain” by Dr. J Andrew Armour a…

For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so the thoughts of God no one knows except the Spirit of God. (1Co 2:11)

One of deepest cries of the human heart is to know that we are significant, that we matter. A chief lie of the enemy of our soul is that there is no meaning to our lives except that which we make up. He wants us to believe that all truth is relative to whoever is thinking a particular truth. In other words, you control your own reality.

This is tempting to us because we crave the power of reality control. It stems in us back to Garden when we were promised that when we had our eyes opened by ea…

Oneness. Agreement. Belief. Love. Power.

In BEST Shabbat, we have been all about empowering you to be your best! Today, I want to press in for one of the essential ingredients, the actual purpose of the cross, oneness. The central part of God’s agenda is to restore oneness.

The main ancient prayer of Deuteronomy 6:4 is the sh’ma which is the call to oneness.

"Hear, O Israel! The LORD is our God, the LORD is one!(Deut. 6:4).

As we spoke of last week, the call is first to open our ears. Listening is the foundation stone of faith.

And He was saying, "He who has ears to hear, let him hear."…
