Worship

John 4:24
God is spirit; and worshipers must worship him spiritually and truly.”

1 Samuel 15:25
Now, please, pardon my sin; and come back with me, so that I can worship Adonai.”

2 Samuel 12:20
Then David got up off the ground, washed, anointed himself and changed his clothes. He went into the house of Adonai and worshiped; then he went to his own palace; and when he asked for food, they served it to him; and he ate.

Ezekiel 46:3
The people of the land are also to prostrate themselves in worship before Adonai at the entrance to that gate on Shabbat and on Rosh-Hodesh.

Psalm 22:28
All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to Adonai; all the clans of the nations will worship in your presence.

Psalm 63:4
for your grace is better than life. My lips will worship you.

Worship is a very important thing to me and my family.  Every Saturday we have praise ad worship for about 30 minutes. A friend and fellow Messianic singer Mason Clover is one of the best worship leaders I have ever met. He has played at our church multiple times. 

Thanks for reading today ya'll. Check out  one of my favorite Mason Clover songs below.

Strength

Philippians 4:13

13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

Isaiah 40:29
He invigorates the exhausted, he gives strength to the powerless.

Exodus 15:2

Yah is my strength and my song, and he has become my salvation. This is my God: I will glorify him; my father’s God: I will exalt him.

Exodus 15:13
In your love, you led the people you redeemed; in your strength, you guided them to your holy abode.

Numbers 24:8
God, who brought them out of Egypt, gives them thestrength of a wild ox. They will devour the nations opposing them, break their bones, pierce them with their arrows.

Deuteronomy 33:25

May your bolts be of iron and bronze and your strength last as long as you live.

I like many of you grew up hearing the line I can do things thru Christ who strengthens me. And, many time I just shrugged it off and didn't believe it. I just thought it was something my mom said because she could. It wasn't until my mom got really sick that I started believing it. It wasn't until I had to run the whole house by myself during the day that I realized that I needed his strength to get me through the day. Even, though she is much better now and I don't need to it by myself anymore I still find myself using this line every day. Even, though I has less on my plate each day I still need his strength to get through my day.

Thanks for reading today ya'll. Listen to the song below. 

Messiah

John 4:25
The woman replied, “I know that Messiah is coming” (that is, “the one who has been anointed”). “When he comes, he will tell us everything.”

Mark 9:41
Indeed, whoever gives you even a cup of water to drink because you come in the name of the Messiah — yes! I tell you that he will certainly not lose his reward.

John 17:3 And eternal life is this: to know you, the one true God, and him whom you sent, Yeshua the Messiah.

John 1:17

For the Torah was given through Moshe; grace and truth came through Yeshua the Messiah.

Well we have made it half way through the A-Z Challenge. M is the thirteenth letter of the alphabet. It has been fun so far and I look forward to the rest of the challenge. 

Yeshua the Messiah the healer, the redeemer, the son of God. Yahweh left all of his glory behind to come to earth and die for us. To take away all of our sins. To heal us and to redeem us. To make us his once again. 

Thanks for reading today ya'll. Come back and see me tomorrow with the letter N.

Love

1st Corinthians 13:1-4
13 If I speak with human eloquence and angelic ecstasy but don’t love, I’m nothing but the creaking of a rusty gate.

2 If I speak God’s Word with power, revealing all his mysteries and making everything plain as day, and if I have faith that says to a mountain, “Jump,” and it jumps, but I don’t love, I’m nothing.

3-4 If I give everything I own to the poor and even go to the stake to be burned as a martyr, but I don’t love, I’ve gotten nowhere. So, no matter what I say, what I believe, and what I do, I’m bankrupt without love.

As I said yesterday I am going to be talking about my singing and dancing today. I hope soon to start posting some of my originals and covers on facebook for my friends and family to hear. I have been working on my singing voice for many years and I thought I had it all figured out. Until, I went to Winter Jam back in March. When, I saw how much the artists really got into the songs and poured their hearts out for the lord. I realized that there was something that was missing from my music. I realized that I was it for myself, not for Yahweh and his kingdom. It wasn't until I heard the song The Proof Of Your Love by for King & Country that I realized that what I need to add to my music was love. Love for Yahweh. Love for his kingdom. And, love for the life he has given me. Since hearing this song live I have way more passion for my music and my dancing. I loved dancing before, but I was doing for the show of it. And, one day during one of the songs I realized that my heart wasn't in it. I knew that I wasn't doing it for the right reasons, but I didn't know how to fix it. So, I went on trying to dance, but it was so hard to get into the songs. After, hearing this song I knew what I had to do. And, since then I have been so much happier. My dancing is now for him and everything he is doing through me and for me.

Thanks for reading today ya'll. I hope you learn something from this post, because I know I have. Listen to The Proof Of Your Love below complete with the verse from above. 

Kingdom

Matthew 6:33

But seek first his Kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

Psalm 45:7 

Your throne, God, will last forever and ever; you rule your kingdom with a scepter of equity.

Psalm 68:33

Sing to God, kingdoms of the earth! Sing praises to Adonai, (Selah)

Daniel 2:44

“In the days of those kings the God of heaven will establish a kingdom that will never be destroyed, and that kingdom will not pass into the hands of another people. It will break to pieces and consume all those kingdoms; but it, itself, will stand forever 

Matthew 12:28

But if I drive out demons by the Spirit of God, then the Kingdom of God has come upon you!

The Kingdom of Yahweh is one of the most things for me. I am an aspiring singer, so singing to my congregation is one of my favorite things to do. To reach out to the kingdom of Yah and give them hope in their darkest times. I am also a dancer and dancing for my God and his kingdom is amazing feeling. I will be speaking more on my singing and dancing tomorrow.

Thanks for reading ya'll. See you tomorrow with L. Watch the video below. 

Joy

Galatians 5:22

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

Isaiah 24:8

the happy sound of tambourines ceases, the shouts of merrymakers are stilled, the joy of the lyre ends.

Isaiah 24:14

They lift their voices, singing for joy, shouting from the west to honor Adonai

Isaiah 25:9
On that day they will say, “See! This is our God! We waited for him to save us. This is Adonai ; we put our hope in him. We are full of joy, so glad he saved us!”

Isaiah 35:10
Those ransomed by Adonai will return and come with singing to Tziyon, on their heads will be everlasting joy. They will acquire gladness and joy, while sorrow and sighing will flee.

Thanks for reading today ya'll. 

Cain And Able

Genesis 4:3-16
3 In the course of time Kayin brought an offering to Adonai from the produce of the soil; 4 and Hevel too brought from the firstborn of his sheep, including their fat. Adonai accepted Hevel and his offering 5 but did not accept Kayin and his offering. Kayin was very angry, and his face fell. 6 Adonai said to Kayin, “Why are you angry? Why so downcast? 7 If you are doing what is good, shouldn’t you hold your head high? And if you don’t do what is good, sin is crouching at the door — it wants you, but you can rule over it.” 8 Kayin had words with Hevel his brother; then one time, when they were in the field, Kayin turned on Hevel his brother and killed him.

9 Adonai said to Kayin, “Where is Hevel your brother?” And he replied, “I don’t know; am I my brother’s guardian?” 10 He said, “What have you done? The voice of your brother’s blood is crying out to me from the ground! 11 Now you are cursed from the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood at your hands. 12 When you farm the ground it will no longer yield its strength to you. You will be a fugitive, wandering the earth.” 13 Kayin said to Adonai, “My punishment is greater than I can bear. 14 You are banning me today from the land and from your presence. I will be a fugitive wandering the earth, and whoever finds me will kill me.” 15 Adonai answered him, “Therefore, whoever kills Kayin will receive vengeance sevenfold,” and Adonai put a sign on Kayin, so that no one who found him would kill him. 16 So Kayin left the presence of Adonai and lived in the land of Nod [wandering], east of ‘Eden.

Everyone knows the story of Cain and Able. The story of the first murder. But, not everyone knows the reason behind the first murder. If you just read the verses above you think that he just gave the wrong sacrifice to Yahweh. But, is that the only reason Yahweh didn't accept Cain's offering. NO!

The reason he didn't accept Cain's offering is because, Cain only did it to make himself look good. He did it to glorify himself instead of Yahweh. That is why he didn't accept the offering. 

Thanks for reading with me today. Come back tomorrow for letter D.
