No Condemnation

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

There are many believers today who struggle with guilt and condemnation! 

Because of our love for FATHER GOD, we want to do what is right; yet there are times when we walk in the flesh instead of in the Spirit of God! Walking after the flesh is when we depend on ourselves, but walking after the Spirit is depending on Abba the Father! 

We make mistakes, sin, make wrong choices; and when this happens, we need to quickly repent (turn from our sin)! Then once we have repented and have asked GOD for forgiveness, we need to let go of any burdens of condemnation. 

YESHUA delivered us from both iniquity and guilt (by way of the cross)! After we ask GOD for that forgiveness, He not only forgives but also forgets. (Our sins are as far as the east is from the west!) 

Rom. 8:1-4 (TLV)
Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Messiah Yeshua. 2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Messiah Yeshua has set you free from the law of sin and death. 3 For what was impossible for the Torah—since it was weakened on account of the flesh—God has done. Sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and as a sin offering, He condemned sin in the flesh— 4 so that the requirement of the Torah might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Ruach.

When Satan comes against you with condemnation; quote Romans 8:1 right back at him! Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Messiah Yeshua. 

This Scripture is your weapon of warfare against the accuser of the brethren.

Revelation 12:10
Then I heard a loud voice in heaven saying, “Now have come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of His Anointed One, for the accuser of our brothers and sisters—the one who accuses them before our God day and night[b]—has been thrown out.

Wisdom—Our Friend

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

Wisdom will always lead you to GOD’S best! Wisdom teaches that you will not keep friends if they try to control and dominate your life! 

Wisdom will guide you in your money matters. 

Using wisdom keeps you out of debt. Wisdom will not let you get over extended in your commitments. 

Wisdom says we need to take time and wait on GOD to give us peace about what we are to do or not to do. 

Yes, wisdom is certainly our friend; it helps us not live in regret! The saddest thing in the world would be to reach old age and look back at your life and feel nothing but regret about what you did or did not do! 

Proverbs 4:5-6
Get wisdom; develop good judgment.
Don’t forget my words or turn away from them.

Don’t turn your back on wisdom, for she will protect you.
Love her, and she will guard you.

Ponder this thought for today; godly wisdom will help us make choices now that we will be happy with later.

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?

Youthful Attitude

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

As believers in MESSIAH YESHUA, we need to always maintain a youthful attitude, no matter how old we may be! Our usefulness to the Kingdom of GOD never ends, no matter our age. 

Laughter is always a good thing in life. Some of us have been hurt deeply and have emotional baggage that we are carrying with us. Don’t let laughter be buried under all that. Clinging to past bitterness and feelings of rejection can age us quickly. We need to lay all that down at the cross of YESHUA, by forgiving others and ourselves. 

And always remember that with each new sunrise, every morning is a new beginning; with each new day, we have another opportunity for our ABBA FATHER to help us smile and laugh! 

Psalm 103:5

He fills my life with good things. My youth is renewed like the eagles.

As believers, we have the opportunity to take part in GOD’S work each and everyday, being a blessing to those around us. Never give up on your dreams and moving toward your goals. Remember, as soon as we settle for watching the world go by, we start to age!

Blessings,
