B.E.S.T. Shabbat

So, Jesus was saying to those Jews who had believed Him, "If you continue in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine; and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free."(Joh 8:31-32) To listen to the audio-only version click below  Giving Opportunity Message   Deliverance and discipleship are one and the same. We are delivered from slavery to the world and its mind control dehumanizing system and into our identity and destiny in the Lord, as His disciples. No to different from fictional accounts of mental and physical programming, the world uses techniques to do the same to our souls. Thoughts or as the scripture names them strongholds define our reality. These are fortresses of thought that the world and Satan has imparted into the fabric of our hearts that can bring us into a bondage in those respective areas. Paul describes this process like this: For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfar...

“And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."” (John 8:32) To listen to the audio-only version click below  Giving Opportunity Message   Emet is the Hebrew word for truth. Yeshua tells us that we shall “know” the truth and that knowing shall make us free. The opposite of knowing the truth is believing in lies.

Finally, the root completes with the ayin, the word picture of an eye which means a shift in perspective. The composite picture is a hand opening a ...

“And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."” (John 8:32) To listen to the audio-only version click below  Giving Opportunity Message   Last chapter we looked at the liberation that comes from the “chesed” of God, His secret counsel that protects and delivers us strategically into a kingdom of abundance. Chesed is often defined as “mercy” or “lovingkindness”. This is the outer court reality of chesed, by which we mean that when we look at the impact of chesed, we see the operation of mercy or the expression of the loving-kindness of God. When we look deeper, to the inner court reality of chesed, we see that the word as defined by three main ancient Hebrew letters or characters, “chet”, “samech”, and “dalet” give us the composite definition that chesed is the secret counsel of the Lord that He encircles and protects revealing His covenant love.
