B.E.S.T. Shabbat

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.

Feel free to use the "DONATE" button 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 openi...

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) Click here to listen to Message " The First Love Heart " Giving opportunity - How we see things makes the diffenrence. Listen and give according to your willingness of heart. Feel free to use the "DONATE" button 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...

Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth. But avoid worldly and empty chatter, for it will lead to further ungodliness, (2 Timothy 2:15-16 NASB). God holds us accountable for our level of diligence with our lives.  We are instructed to correctly handle or implement the Word of Truth in our lives and so operate without shame.  Shame both is the result of a lack of diligence and a factor influencing more lack of diligence.   Shame produces worldly and empty chatter.   This is a type of heart condition and speaking that is driven by the world and its influences and NOT the Word of God! Diligence is a master key of equipping that brings us from the realm of mediocre into excellence.   We are in a spiritual battle with an enemy called average.  Average seeks to cause the unique contribution that our life is called to manifest to disappear into the crowd...

Last week we spoke about boundaries of faith in the heart. "Keep your heart with all diligence, For out of it spring the issues of life."   Pro 4:23 (NKJV) The Hebrew word defined as issues or springs, is the word root Yatza which means exit or border.  It is where one kingdom ends and another begins.  Think of the US-Canadian border as an example.  What works in the US doesn’t work in Canada.  Each country has its own authority.  The border defines the boundary of authority, what works in each country. In a parallel way there are boundaries in our heart where 2 kingdoms meet.  One is the kingdom of God, the other is the kingdom of self.  What defines the boundary location is faith.  When we have faith in God for a particular area of life, the boundary places us in the Kingdom of God with its power and authority.  When our faith is in ourself the boundary defines that area through the natural boundaries and power of s...
