Weighing in the Balance

When the fear of God is not in the heart of the people, they will call evil good.

In Exodus chapter one, Pharaoh commanded the Egyptian midwives when the Isralite women give birth kill every male child, and if it is female save it alive, but the midwives feared God and did not do as the king commanded them. (Exodus 1:15-17).

The times might have changed but the same evil is prevailing. Every day we hear through media, from Christian's and non-christians alike bashing and calling President Trump evil because he does not line up with their ideal of an American President. Yet, this man is one of the few in authority who has the fear of God in him to know that it is ungodly to have the life of new born babies weighing in the balance.

We can no longer allow our preferences to blind us from standing up for truth according to God's word. We are in a battle for life, both physical and spiritual. When Pharaoh gave the command to kill the male child being born, it was out of fear of the unknown because the children of Israel were growing and multiply and no matter what he did to them they still were successful (Exodus 1: 7-12). Abortion is rooted in the fear of the unknown.

Like the Egyptian midwives, President Trump is as without God as many of us were, walking in darkness until God brought us out into the light of Jesus Christ. But the midwives feared God and because of their fear towards Him, God dealt well with them (Exodus 1:20-21).

If we as believers are truly seeking to live according to the word of God, it should stir our hearts to seek God's face for President Trump to come to the full knowledge of who Christ is and receive salvation, instead of praying him out the White  House. Remember God only answer prayers according to His will, not ours. 

Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence. For this is  good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. I Timothy 2:1‭-‬4 NKJV

Exploring God’s Love: Loving God His Way

The way we love God sometimes is not the way He requires us to love Him!   Loving God requires us to know His love language. Today we begin to explore loving God His way. “ If you love me, keep my commands." - Yeshua (Jesus). John 14:15 God’s love language! God’s commandments are His love language.    Read Exodus 20:1-17 God' Commands are two categories: Our relationship with Him. Exodus 20:2-11 Our relationship with each other. Exodus 20:12-17 Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy. Exodus 20:8-11 “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. For six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of the Lord your God; on it you shall not do any work, you, or your son, or your daughter, your male slave or your female slave, or your cattle, or your resident who stays with you. For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea and everything that is in them, and He rested on the seventh day; for that reason the ...

Carried Away

Many of us are being carried away with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting and being tossed to and fro because of spiritual malnutrition. It is evident in our society as we see the rise of prosperity gospel and the infiltration of new age practices in our churches. Believers are being led astray because those who are called to lead are not executing the plan of God for the church or ministry in which they are called to serve. Leaders are more concerned about their agendas and programs rather than the purpose of God. The word of God has set forth the ministry of the church and the purpose of its leaders. In Ephesians chapter 4:7-16,  the Apostle Paul gives us a clear picture of the governing body (earthly) of the body Christ and its function; yet there are churches today who are operating without the order of government as established in Scriptures. This governing body: Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Pastors, and Teachers ...

Legacy

Jeremiah 29:10-13 10 For thus saith the Lord, That after seventy years be accomplished at Babylon I will visit you, and perform my good word toward you, in causing you to return to this place.  11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.  12 Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you.  13 And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart. Most people in life can trace their family line as far back as four generations. Yet some of us don’t know our biological parents much more to know our grand-parents. Ever since I was a child I always heard my mom and her sisters talked about their parents as if it was some kind of mysterious fairy-tale.  Though my mother and her three siblings are of the same mother and father, it is a mystery to me how two of them ended up with different last n...
