The Spirit of Truth

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

Right before YESHUA ascended into Heaven after His resurrection, He told His disciples He was going to send them the Holy Spirit, also known as the Spirit of Truth. The Holy Spirit is the Third Person of the Godhead and dwells in the heart of every believer. He is our comforter, counselor, helper, guide, teacher, and advocate! 

He is the one that convicts us of sin. The ministry of the Holy Spirit is to lead us into all truth. Every time we get off track or go in a wrong direction, it is He who convicts us and brings us back to that place of true right standing with GOD! If we listen to His still small voice, we will live the abundant life GOD intended for us to have!

John 16:13
“However, when He, the Spirit of Truth has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak and He will tell you things to come.”

The Holy Spirit is our guide to the truth of GOD’S Word, and it is always the truth of GOD’S Word that will set us free!

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

CALL OF THE CROSS

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

RESURRECTION DAY is a time when we come face to face with the reality of the torture stake aka the cross!! Look at the One dying there; He never sinned yet He is on the cross to bear the penalty of the sins of the world!

The cross is an ugly scene; it shows us how terrible sin really is and what a horrible price had to be paid to set us free! If you are a born-again believer, coming one more time to the cross should fill your heart with gratitude for everything that YESHUA did for you! And if you are not born-again, won’t you trust YESHUA today as your Savior and make Him Lord of your life?

Your sins are real, which are separating you from ABBA THE FATHER. 

Ask YESHUA  to come into your heart to be your personal Savior! He had you on His mind when He was on that cross. Trust Him now, and your life will never be the same!

John 3:16
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

The forgiveness of sins and acceptance by a Holy GOD can be found only at the cross of MESSIAH YESHUA!!

The Shulchan Adonai

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

The night before YESHUA’S crucifixion, He gathered together His disciples to eat a final meal and to be strengthened in fellowship before facing all the agony that was ahead! This meal was a Passover Seder (meaning “order”).  

Previously, the Feast’s symbols had only pointed back to the Hebrews’ redemption from Egypt. But that night, YESHUA revealed the Messianic significance of the symbols of bread and wine; His broken body and shed blood! 

YESHUA was to become our Passover. As a remembrance of what YESHUA did on the (ROMAN TORTURE STAKE); we partake in “THE SHULCHAN ADONAI” as a reminder of the blood covenant that we have with GOD. 

YESHUA  is truly our Passover Lamb!

1 Corinthians 5:7
Get rid of the old yeast, so that you may be a new unleavened batch—as you really are. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed.

Mark 14:22-24
And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them and said, “Take, eat; this is My body.”

Then He took the cup, and when He had given thanks He gave it to them, and they all drank from it. And He said to them, “This is My blood of the ]new covenant, which is shed for many.

Next time we partake in the Shulchan Adonai (Communion), make it a fresh dedication of our lives to the LORD, worshipping Him for being our Savior!

Blessings,

Son of Man

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

First, let’s read Matthew 16: 13-16

When Yeshua came into the region of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?”

They answered, “Some say John the Immerser, others say Elijah, and still others say Jeremiah or one of the other prophets.”

He said, “But who do you say I am?”

Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.”

 

Now, let’s take a look at a few things that set YESHUA apart as the Messiah! 

First, His birth: He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and was born in Bethlehem to a virgin named MIRIAM as prophesied. 

He was tempted for 40 days in the desert relentlessly by Satan, yet He did not sin! 

He showed us the love of our heavenly FATHER through everything He did while on this earth: healing people , raising the dead, and forgiving sins regardless of nationality!

Let’s read this part again: Matthew 16:15-16
He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” 

Simon Peter answered and said, “You are the MESSIAH, the Son of the living God.”

Many people say YESHUA was a prophet or a good teacher, but YESHUA was never merely human; He was fully GOD and fully man! This is the unique way GOD chose to demonstrate His eternal love for us!
