Hearing and obeying Yahshua our Savior is the message Pastor Jenkins brings forth today from Hebrews 10.
To hear and obey takes some effort on our part. First, we must pay attention to what is being said/taught in order to correctly follow directions. Secondly, we must put into action what we have learned. In the natural sense, we have experienced what happens when we give our full attention to a specific situation—we receive a passing grade. The same is true in the spiritual realm. When we listen to Yahweh’s word and act on it, we receive a passing grade. The grade given in this life determines whether we have salvation which leads to Eternal life in Yahshua.
As you know, back in Old Testament days, when a person committed sin, an animal sacrifice was required for forgiveness of sin. The first verse of this Chapter says, “For the (sacrificial) law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices, which they offered year by year continually, make the comers thereunto perfect.”
However, in the New Testament age, Yahweh sent Yahshua to the Earth to atone for our sins, and thereby He became our Sacrificial offering. He offered Himself ONCE for the sins of the whole world. So, when we repent for our sins in Yahshua’s name, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us of all unrighteousness.
If we are committing sin, we need to repent immediately in Yahshua’s name because Father Yahweh sent Yahshua to the Earth to shed His blood and die for our sins.
So, the question is: how are we living our lives? Does it honor or dishonor Yahshua?
Memory verse: 8:13
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.
