How are you using the gift of life?

You are given a gift to live on this Earth to experience life and to affect people around you. Are you going to influence people for the Father or chase them from him? 

How are you using the gift of life that he gave you? Are you investing your time in Scripture, research, health, love, or are you squandering it on futility and things that do not pay you a return?

Matthew 5:16 - Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

Matthew 12:36-37 - But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.

We were put here for a purpose. A Plan. You were given a talent and the Father desires you to use it diligently.

Peace

When Christ said, "Peace I leave you not peace as the world gives but my peace." When you consider what Christ meant when he said his peace.

ETERNAL PEACE

Coming from an eternal perspective.

PEACE WITH AUTHORITY

Coming from a place where you understand that you have authority over every situation and over every devil in hell! 

UNSHAKABLE PEACE

UNCOMPREHENDABLE PEACE

PEACE RESTING IN CHRIST

 The peace that is unshakable, the peace that cannot be understood by those who are unspiritual, the peace that comes from a solid foundation in Christ.


When the world says peace they mean lack of business or maybe quiet time or maybe you just have your needs met and so you feel calm but they can't comprehend the level of peace that Christ has promised to us. The scriptures encourage us to be peaceful and encourage and Inspire one another.
How are you sharing your peace today?

Wise as a serpent Gentle as a dove

Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.-Matthew 10:16

When I think of a snake I immediately get the creeps! Ugh, they are so deceptive and quiet. You quite often do not even know they are there until you come upon them.  Doves also can be very still and quiet even though they present no real danger.  That was the essence behind What Christ was telling us with this statement.  We cannot escape the wickedness of these days and times. But we can withdraw ourselves from participation, stay quiet, watchful, and protective of ourselves and our families. We can use wisdom and listen more then we speak in order to be effective in the mission that we were put on this earth to achieve. Being prepared and ready for the Fathers use.

 

Matthew 24:25

See, I have told you in advance.
Matthew 24:45

Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom the master has put in charge of his household, to give the others their food at the proper time?

Five of them were foolish, and five were wise.
Matthew 25:4

But the wise ones took oil in flasks along with their lamps.
Romans 16:19

Everyone has heard about your obedience, so I rejoice over you. But I want you to be wise about what is good and innocent about what is evil.

Wise.

Luke 21:15
For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.

New Year

As we have just begun this new year, this new time of growth. The Most High is asking us to level up.  Its time to get more serious then you have ever been. Time to commit. For better or worse. There will be trials, tests, and challenges along the way.

Romans 8:35

“Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?”

There are so many testimonies of those throughout the scriptures that were faced with difficult or drastic life choices to follow the Father. Many times it took longer or looked very different from the way that they thought that it would. The Father never claims that this walk will be simple or easy. In every instance where the people in the book were faced with difficult life choices those that moved in Faith and followed Him were shown great mercy and blessings.

Psalms 37:5 - Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring [it] to pass.

Psalms 37:4 - Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.

Proverbs 16:3 - Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established.

Jeremiah 26:14 - As for me, behold, I [am] in your hand: do with me as seemeth good and meet unto you.

30 day challenge to stop the complaining and murmuring

Shalom Sisters, I hope everyone has had a blessed day and that all is well in all of our households this week. This is sister Yahkira, and I wanted to share a video I did with you all. I apologies the Ruach just reminded me to share it with you sisters. It’s something The Most High put in my spirit as a way to strive for righteousness. It’s a 30 day challenge to stop the complaining and murmuring we do, whether it’s about our children, our husbands, pets, work, etc. It’s time we as a nation not only the sisters start learning to pay attention to how we think, react and to what we are truly uttering out of our mouths. 

YAHkira Yisrael
