Pastor Jenkins message today entitled, “Yahweh speaks to us through His Son Yahshua” comes from Hebrews 1, with supporting Scripture found in Matt 17.
We know in the Old Testament age, Yahweh spoke to the people through His prophets and other ways. But, in the New Testament age, He speaks to us through His Son Yahshua – the One Who died on the cross for our sins and now offers us salvation, which leads to eternal life.
Father Yahweh gave all authority to Yahshua, Who came to Earth for the specific purpose of dying for our sins, so we could be forgiven and receive salvation. He finished what He was sent to Earth to do; now we must finish our part by inviting Him to come and live in us. When Yahshua was on the Mount with His disciples Peter, James and John, His appearance changed. His face shone like the sun, and His clothes became as white as the light. As they continued watching, they saw His appearance change and heard and saw Him talking with Moses and Elijah. Then the disciples fell to the ground and heard a Voice coming from the cloud that said, "This is My Beloved Son, in Whom I am well pleased, Hear Him!"
So now, we can pray to the Father through Yahshua asking forgiveness for our sins, and if we are serious, He will hear and answer our prayers.
Yahshua came for such a time as this. If it wasn’t for Yahshua dying on the cross, where would we be?
Today is the day for salvation; receive Yahshua today as tomorrow may be too late.
Pastor Jenkins, through Ephesians 1 continues to discuss with us Yahweh's promise of redemption to everyone who keeps our eyes on Yahshua. Our Redeemer Yahshua is the One who gave His life so that we could be forgiven of all the sins we've committed. We no longer have to be ashamed of what we did when we were in darkness. That being said, when we repent of our sins and invite Yahshua into our hearts, we are no longer sinners but children of the Most High Yah because we have been washed in the blood of Yahshua. As we continue to grow by reading the word of Yahweh and meditating on it, we grow in faith.
Out of a sincere heart, we ask Father Yah to forgive us of our sins and help us to receive His Holy Spirit. He will hear and answer our prayers. Do you wonder why? Well, because we are now ready to receive salvation through Yahshua, and through His love, we learn to lean and depend on Him.
As verse 6 notes and we as believers can now say, "To the praise of the glory of His grace, wherein He has made us accepted in the Beloved".
Be blessed and know you are now in the family of Yah!
Memory verse: Ephesians 1:6
Pastor Jenkins walks us through John 14 and all that Yahweh has promised us when we keep our eyes on Him. Yahshua, our Savior has given us His grace -- but it’s up to us to walk in it.
He tells us what to or not to do to be in right standing and in a place of blessings. He says “Let not your heart be troubled”. Are we acting on Yahweh’s word and using His word to counteract Satan’s attacks, or are we giving in to every attack? We must know we have the power from Yahweh through Yahshua to stand against all the wiles of Satan.
So, let not your hearts be troubled because Almighty Yah lives in you through Yahshua. Not only does He live in us but He has forgiven us of our sins because we have repented. If you have not repented, take time right now to do so.
There is no need for you to keep bringing up past sins because you are a new creation in Yah; old things have passed away and all things have become new.
So, stay prayed up and always remember Yahweh’s Saving Grace comes through Yahshua. Since you're a child of Yahweh, you will be able to walk through the difficult situations and unforeseen issues in your life an still stand. Take your position in Yahweh and stand strong!
Memory verse: John 14:6
Today, Pastor Jenkins speaks about The Light -- Who He is, and what He has/will do for anyone who puts our faith in Him. We know The Light referenced here is Yahshua, the Messiah. Reading Yahweh’s word helps us to know what His will is for mankind.
Some say, “I pray but nothing good happens in my life.” Well, let’s look at how and what you’re praying. It’s of utmost importance to be praying according to the word of Yahweh. We must hear the word of Yahweh and confess our sins to Yahshua in order to be forgiven. Therefore, we must read the Bible on a regular basis in order to judge whether we are living our lives on a day-to day basis that aligns with the Word.
Take a minute to seriously reflect on your prayer life because what you ask for must be in accordance with Yahweh’s word. Have you invited Yahshua into your life and received salvation through His death on the cross? If so, you can expect your prayers to be answered as long as they align with Yahweh’s word.
When we invite Yahshua (Who is the true Light) to come and live in us, He will walk with us every step of the way, but we must be willing to let go and let Him lead and guide us out of darkness into His marvelous light of salvation.
So, we say to you: Don’t quit, and don’t give in to Satan – just put your trust in Yahshua-- Who is able to help us make it through whatever difficult situations we face.
Memory verse: John 1:12
Scripture Reading: John 1:8
Pastor Jenkins message today is to remind us to fight the good fight of faith, which comes from 1st Timothy 6.
What comes to your mind when you hear the word “fight”? Do you pull up your sleeves to fight as in a physical altercation with another person, or do you immediately prepare for the fight by putting on the whole armor of Yahweh? Both of these scenarios put us in a position of “flight or fight”; but as believers, we must choose to use our spiritual armor to win our fight (battles) here on earth. We are Yahshua’s ambassadors here on Earth, so we must do what is right. It doesn’t matter whether it’s on our jobs, or in our personal situations. We must be thankful to Yahshua for moving our manager if we feel we’re unjustly treated. But through it all, we must show respect to that individual. But rest assured, Yahshua will fight our battles.
So, who or what are you fighting with/against today? In order to win our fight, we must use every tool in our faith box to overcome Satan’s enslavement to sin which is shown in Galatians 5:19-21. But don't despair, Yahshua has given everyone free will choice to choose our destiny.
Yahshua, unlike Satan doesn’t enslave us to sin – see Galatians 5:22-23. He, over 2,000 years ago freed us from sin through His redemptive act on the cross. All we have to do is trust Him and invite Him into our hearts. It’s that easy.
How many of us will be able to say what Apostle Saul (Paul) said in 2nd Timothy 4:7 when his earthly life was coming to an end; (he fought a good fight, finished his race, and kept the faith). How did he do it? He did it by keeping his eyes on Yahshua’s great work of redemption and His saving grace and mercy. We, too, must do the same.
So, what are you going to do? It’s all up to you.
