Run to the Roman Torture Stake

Pastor Bruce and Suzi Elman L'Chaim Messianic Congregation Wellington FL

Run to the Roman Torture Stake!

So to all of you, life being so uncertain for all of us:

If you want to go heaven, there is one thing you must do.
Run to the cross!
Run to the cross and lay hold of MESSIAH YESHUA!

Put your trust in Him, and when you die, you will close your eyes on earth and open them in heaven.

For those who believe in YESHUA death is not the end of life, it’s the only doorway that leads directly to heaven.

For some of our dearest friends, the battle is over!

Suffering and weakness have been swallowed up in the sunlight of God’s love.

They have gone where sickness cannot reach him, where old age cannot enfeeble them, where the pains of this life cannot assail them.

They are with the Lord forever.

They walked by faith for many years.

Now they walk by sight.

For years they dreamed of heaven.
Now they walk on the streets of gold.

For years they prayed to Yeshua.
Now they see Him face to face.

Our loss is heaven’s gain.

I am glad that heaven is a real place and that our family and friends have gone there. Of that, I have no doubt.

Finally, for all of us:

Let’s thank them for their love.
Thank them for their prayers.
♥️♥️♥️

C. S. Lewis remarked that Believers don’t say goodbye; we say, “See you later.”

Rejoice about our loved ones who have gone before us! We will see them ALL again.

Even so, Come, Lord Yeshua! Come soon. It’s in Yeshua’s Name I pray.  Amen

Prayer of an Unknown Soldier

Pastor Bruce and Suzi Elman L'Chaim Messianic Congregation Wellington FL

Prayer of an Unknown Soldier

Perhaps you’ve read this prayer written by an unknown soldier from the Civil War.

I asked God for strength, that I might achieve;
I was made weak, that I might learn humbly to obey.

I asked for health, that I might do greater things;
I was given infirmity, that I might do better things.

I asked for riches, that I might be happy;
I was given poverty, that I might be wise.

I asked for power, that I might have the praise of men;
I was given weakness, that I might feel the need of God.

I asked for all things, that I might enjoy life;
I was given life, that I might enjoy all things.

I got nothing I asked for, but everything I had hoped for.
Almost despite myself, my unspoken prayers were answered

I am, among men, most richly blessed.

Life is not a straight line. God’s plan for you and me includes a fair number of detours. The path of life zigs and zags and goes up and down. For a while you feel like you’re going in circles, then one day the clouds lift, and you discover those endless circles were leading you to the top of the mountain.

Be Blessed! 

In Yeshua’s name, amen.

Don’t Ever Give Up On Anyone

Pastor Bruce and Suzi Elman L'Chaim Messianic Congregation Wellington FL

John 4 teaches us YESHUA does his best work with outcasts. He specializes in forgotten people because they are willing to listen to Him. He populates Heaven with earthly rejects.

This means there is hope for people who today think they have fallen so far that YESHUA will not take them. But there is no pit so deep that the love of God is not deeper still.

Don’t ever give up on anyone!
Don’t ever stop praying for sinners!
Don’t ever stop sharing the good news!

1. No one is too sinful to be saved.
2. No one is so lost that the Lord cannot find them.
3. No one who meets YESHUA will ever be the same again.

YESHUA is ready to give you Living Water. It’s free for the asking. Are you ready to receive it?

What a story!
What a MESSIAH
What amazing grace!

Prayer of Surrender

Pastor Bruce and Suzi Elman L'Chaim Messianic Congregation Wellington FL

Prayer of Surrender

What does God want of us? Simply this: to love HIM with all our heart, mind, soul, and strength.

This is the way of God’s Kingdom. For it is in THE letting go, and letting God, that we find the real treasures in life—the kind of treasures that can never be bought or sold!

PRAYER
Help me to die to self and walk in the victory of the new creation that You have provided for me. 

Let the fruits of the Spirit flow out of my life so that You will be glorified. I know that it is Your will that I should stand firm and resist all of the enemy’s work against me. 

I surrender myself completely to You, Lord. You are always faithful, and You extend Your grace to me constantly, even when I do not realize it. I claim Your promise of forgiveness and cleansing in its fullness. In faith, I receive the victory today that you have already put in place for me. I do this in the name of YESHUA my Savior with a grateful heart

A Country in Need

Pastor Bruce and Suzi Elman L'Chaim Messianic Congregation Wellington FL

A Country in Need

2 Chronicles 15:1-15

Throughout history, God has shown that nations are blessed when they seek Him. Psalm 33:12 reminds us, “Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD.” From its earliest days, America was founded by people who understood the importance of faith, freedom, and dependence on God. Yet today, we see a nation struggling with division, confusion, and moral challenges. We are not just a nation in need of solutions—we are a nation in need of God.

In 2 Chronicles 15, we read about King Asa of Judah. He was a leader who recognized the condition of his nation and took action. The prophet Azariah reminded Asa, “The LORD is with you when you are with Him. If you seek Him, He will let you find Him.” When Asa heard God’s message, he removed idols, restored worship, and led the people back to a covenant with God.

The people discovered that true peace came not from power or possessions, but from seeking the Lord. Scripture tells us, “The Lord gave them rest on every side.”

Our nation’s greatest need is not simply political, economic, or social change. Our greatest need is spiritual renewal. God’s blessings come when His people humble themselves, pray, seek His face, and turn from their ways.

The healing of a nation begins with the hearts of its people. We need individuals who are willing to seek God, families who honor Him, churches that proclaim His truth, and leaders who have the courage to follow His ways.

God’s promise in 2 Chronicles 7:14 still speaks today: “If My people, who are called by My name, will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land.”

America is a country in need—but God is still the answer.
