Walking in Authority

L'Chaim Messianic Congregation, Lake Worth Florida, Palm Beaches

Some Believers are living in defeat simply because they don’t know as believers in YESHUA’S power that GOD has given them authority over every work of the enemy! We don’t have to let the devil push us around because GOD has armed us with His Word! 

Because of His Word, we are dangerous to the enemy’s destructive plans! Although ABBA FATHER has given us that authority over Satan, we need to know how to use it! It’s up to us to choose to believe the Word of GOD more than we do our feelings and emotions! GOD has given us power AND authority. So even though the enemy may have power, he doesn’t have the authority unless we give it to him! It’s one thing to have power and another thing to have the authority to use that power!

Luke 10:19
Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy and nothing shall be any means hurt you.

Remember, having authority doesn’t mean that you & I will never experience trials & tribulations! But it does mean that we will come out victoriously on the other side of it.

God’s Strength Is Greater

L'Chaim Messianic Congregation, Lake Worth Florida, Palm Beaches

Most people don’t like to talk about their weaknesses! But in today’s verse we find the Apostle Paul boasting in his weakness. Why would Paul do that? Because he knew that GOD’S strength was great in the midst of his infirmity.

We all have weak areas in our lives. We need to never rely on our own strength, but in prayer,  ask GOO to give us His strength in our weaknesses. When we cry out to Abba FATHER, He is more than willing to give us the strength we need. His grace (unmerited favor ) is always more than sufficient to see us through. 

2 Corinthians 12:9
And He said to me, “My Grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore, most gladly, I will rather boast in my infirmities that the power of Yeshua may rest upon me.

May GOD’S power be made perfect in your weakness today!

Blessings,

Pastor Bruce & Suzi Elman

Final Victory

L'Chaim Messianic Congregation, Lake Worth Florida, Palm Beaches

Today’s Scripture is from Paul’s letter to Timothy. Paul is encouraging Timothy to face difficulty as a good soldier. Telling him that implies that he is in a battle! This battle started a long time ago, even before Adam and Eve’s fall in the Garden of Eden. 

It started when Satan and the other angels (now known as demons) rebelled against almighty GOD. They established their own kingdom and waged war with GOD! And ever since Adam and Eve’s disobedience of eating the forbidden fruit (which corrupted all mankind), every human being ever born has a nature bent away from the LORD and is in great need of a Savior (our YESHUA)! 

Our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against rulers of the darkness of this age (Ephesians 6:12), check it out! 

2 Tim. 2:3
You therefore must endure hardships as a good soldier of  MESSIAH YESHUA.

Ungodliness fills our society. Even though it seems at times Satan is winning, we who are saved have the assurance we belong to GOD, who is greater! Read the end of the book (Book of Revelation)! We have the final victory through MESSIAH YESHUA! Praise our soon coming KING OF KINGS!

Rewards of Waiting

L'Chaim Messianic Congregation, Lake Worth Florida, Palm Beaches

In GOD’S Kingdom, waiting on the LORD is always rewarding. We will receive supernatural energy and strength we need for godly living if we wait on GOD’S timetable with our issues.

When we are overburdened with our responsibilities, we could be tempted to get out of step with GOD. He may be telling us to keep a steady pace, but we may start lagging behind. And sometimes our schedules leave us little time to think, so we make quick decisions, pushing ahead of what GOD may want for us. 

In either case, we risk becoming weary, operating in our own strength. But patiently waiting on GOD will bring us the physical and emotional energy we need to keep going.

Psalm 33:20
Our soul waits on the LORD. He is our help and our shield.

Our omniscient and omnipotent GOD is always right on time! His delays are never His denials. Won’t you put your trust in His perfect timing today?

Lighting Our Path

L'Chaim Messianic Congregation, Lake Worth Florida, Palm Beaches

As believers, we are to trust the Bible’s accuracy! It is meant to have a positive influence on our conversation, conduct and character! 

When on the earth, YESHUA affirmed the validity of the Old Testament by using it! 

After His resurrection, He explained what Moses and the prophets said about Him (Luke 24:27). Then He promised the disciples that the Holy Spirit would enlighten their minds and jog their memories (John 14:26). This ensured the New Testament’s accuracy! 

Like a well that never runs dry, the Bible offers a fresh taste of living water each time we open it! We could only skim its surface even by reading it in one’s lifetime. Over time, various leaders have tried in vain to destroy it or restrict access to it!

Ps. 119:105
Your Word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. 

The Bible is the LORD’S way of revealing Himself to humanity! Even though throughout history, there have been many that tried to destroy its meaning, it is still the most loved Book in the world, and it keeps winning hearts to MESSIAH YESHUA! 

Is it lighting your path today?

Blessings,
