When a new car develops a serious problem, you don't normally take it to just anyone and allow them to start dismantling it. You take it back to the manufacturer.

Because the Maker knows the machine better than anyone else. The manufacturer designed it, built it, understands how it works, and knows what it needs to be repaired. In the same way, when you become weary, drained, confused, or overwhelmed by life, take yourself back to your Creator.

RETURN TO YOUR SOURCE.
You were created by God. He knows you better than you know yourself. He knows your thoughts, your weaknesses, your strengths, your struggles, your purpose, and the path you are walking. Sometimes we become exhausted because we keep trying to carry everything by ourselves. We try to solve everything with our own understanding.

We try to control everything. We try to find answers everywhere except at the Source.
But God says “Be still, and know that I am God.” — Psalm 46:10

There are moments when you need to stop, become still, and remember who your God is.
BRING YOUR HEAVY BURDENS TO JESUS.

Jesus said “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” — Matthew 11:28

Notice that Jesus does not say, “Carry your burden until you become strong enough.”
He says: “Come to me.” Your answer begins with returning to Him.

TRUST YOUR MAKER.
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.” — Proverbs 3:5–6

Trusting God does not mean that you stop thinking, planning, working, or taking responsibility. It means that you stop making yourself the ultimate source of your own direction. You seek God's wisdom. You submit your plans to Him.
You allow Him to guide your path.

BE CAREFUL WHO YOU ALLOW TO SPEAK INTO YOUR LIFE.
When people are desperate, tired, confused, or searching for answers, they can become vulnerable to anyone who claims to have a word from God.

Beware of people who publicly proclaim themselves to be prophets and expect you to follow them blindly. Test what you hear.
Compare it with the Word of God. Do not give another person the place that belongs to your Creator. Your first place of refuge should not be a personality, a title, or a self-proclaimed prophet. Return to the Source.

THE MAKER KNOWS BEST.
When the creation is struggling, go back to the Creator. When you are weary, go back to your Creator. When you are confused, seek His wisdom. When you are burdened, bring it to Jesus. When you don't know which way to go, trust the One who knows the way. You don't have to carry everything alone.

Return to the Source.
Put your TRUST in your Maker.
The Maker Knows Best.

God bless.
Gilbert.

You don't stay the same. You move into the deep waters of Salvation from ankle deep to the waist, until you suddenly see yourself swimming in it's depths with boldness and confidence. WOW. Praise the Lord.

You now know that your past identity is gone. That's what Galatians 3:28 means. We are no longer identified by our past and what we used to be. You become a new creature. Hallelujah 🙌🏼.

Galatians 3:27-28 - "For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus"

That's what the above verse means. Nothing more and nothing less. Grab this and put your faith into action.

With this authority we speak and command things from the throne of Victory. Hallelujah 🙌🏼.

Come to Yeshua you who are weary and receive life. He is waiting for you. You tried on your own and failed many times. Without Him you will fail.

Come...

The Elect Are Like a Cake in the Oven with Perfect Ingredients.

Your dark past must make you greater, just like Israel in Egypt. How God deals with His elect is similar to how a baker puts all the ingredients of a cake together. He then places the cake in the oven and sets its timer. Years later, His well-baked elect emerge from the oven.

God takes us deep into situations, not to destroy us, BUT TO BUILT OUR CHARACTER.

Proverbs 3:11-12 (NIV): "My son, do not despise the Lord’s discipline, and do not resent his rebuke, because the Lord disciplines those he loves, as a father the son he delights in."

God bless.

GOD NEVER DESIGNED MARRIAGE FOR POLYGAMY.

God never established polygamy as His pattern for marriage. From the beginning, God's design was one man and one woman becoming one flesh.

“For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother, and be joined to his wife; and they shall become one flesh.” - Genesis 2:24

Polygamy was not introduced by God as His ideal for marriage. It was men who departed from the original pattern and began taking multiple wives. What is remarkable is that, although Scripture records polygamous marriages, it repeatedly allows us to see the conflict, jealousy, competition, favoritism, division and sorrow that followed.

Look at Abraham, Sarah and Hagar.
Look at Jacob, Leah and Rachel.
Look at David and his many wives.
Look at Solomon and his many wives and concubines.

The Bible does not need to repeatedly say, “Polygamy is a bad idea.” It allows us to observe the consequences within the households themselves.

Jacob's family is a powerful example. Leah and Rachel were sisters married to the same man, yet their relationship became a competition for Jacob's affection and for the ability to bear children. Their rivalry eventually affected their children and contributed to a deeply divided family.
Even Reuben's story becomes interesting in this context. As a child, he brought mandrakes to his mother Leah, and those mandrakes became part of the rivalry between Leah and Rachel over Jacob (Genesis 30:14–16). Years later, Reuben would commit an immoral act with Bilhah, Rachel's maid (Genesis 35:22).

The household was not simply experiencing marital problems between adults. The disorder of the marriage became part of the environment in which the children were raised.

In my understanding, Scripture records these marriages not as an endorsement of polygamy, but as a testimony of what happens when mankind departs from God's original design.And there is something even deeper to consider.
God alone can occupy the position of Husband to a multitude. He is the Husband, and His people are His bride.
The New Testament reveals Christ as the Bridegroom, while the Church is presented as His bride:

“For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is the head of the church, He Himself being the Savior of the body.” - Ephesians 5:23

Christ can have one bride made up of many people, because He is God. He is not a human husband attempting to divide his affection, attention, leadership and covenant responsibilities among several wives. Perhaps this is one of the profound contrasts Scripture places before us:

What God can do in His divine relationship with His people is not necessarily what He designed human beings to reproduce in earthly marriage.

God is the perfect Husband to His people.
Man, however, was created to enter into the covenant of marriage according to the pattern established in Eden:

ONE MAN.
ONE WOMAN.
ONE FLESH.

The failures recorded in polygamous households throughout Scripture therefore become warnings for us. Not necessarily because God commanded those arrangements, but because Scripture allows us to see the consequences of them.

God's original design reveals His wisdom.
Human departures from that design reveal our weakness.

God bless

If you know and understand that God is sovereign over every day of your life. Then ALL your anxieties and worries about the future should disappear.

Some single mothers spoil their sons and give them too much freedom so that they can have the freedom to come and go as they please with different boyfriends. The son is then forced to tolerate this behaviour because he is being bribed or excessively indulged.

This affects these sons because, to them, a mother should be a woman of dignity and respect in society. When they grow up without seeing that example, they can begin to develop disrespect toward women in general.

When they have girlfriends, they may expect their girlfriends to behave like their mothers—women who spoil them and tolerate everything they do at home. When a girlfriend does not meet these expectations, or when she cheats on them, some of these men may become extremely violent and, in the worst cases, even kill them.

Many of the problems we face in society begin at home. If children are not taught respect, discipline, responsibility, and honour within their homes, we should not be surprised when they fail to demonstrate these values in the streets.

Some eventually become criminals, abusers, and bullies because they were never properly taught the meaning of discipline and respect.

The commandment says, “Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be prolonged” (Exodus 20:12). Honor, respect, and discipline must begin at home.8

THE STORM CANNOT MOVE WHAT CHRIST HAS ROOTED.

The storm is visible above the ground, but the strength that keeps the tree standing is hidden beneath the ground.

This is the revelation of the rooted believer.
The storm does not know how deep the roots have gone.

The wind sees the branches, but it does not see the roots.
The rain sees the leaves, but it does not see the foundation.
The lightning can strike what is above the ground, but it cannot reach what has been established deep beneath the ground.
And so it is with the believer who is rooted in Christ.

There are things happening within you that nobody can see.
There is a work God has been doing in secret.
There is faith that has been built through trials.
There is trust that has been developed through disappointment.
There is obedience that has been formed through the Word.
There is confidence that has been established through the promises of God.

Your roots have been growing while the storm was forming.
Do you understand the mystery?
The storm did not make your roots deep.

The storm revealed how deep they already were.
When the winds begin to blow, everyone can see the storm—but only God knows the depth of the roots.
When everything around you begins to shake, what has been established within you begins to speak.

“I will not move.”
Not because you are strong in yourself.
Not because you have no fear.
Not because there is no battle.
But because you have been rooted in Christ.

The enemy can attack your circumstances, but he cannot redefine your foundation.
He can shake what is around you, but he cannot uproot what Christ has established within you.
He can challenge your situation, but he cannot change who God is.
He can attack your body, your possessions, your relationships, your plans, and your circumstances—but he cannot become your foundation.
Christ is your foundation.
And when Christ is your foundation, the storm does not have the final word.

The storm may roar.
But you will stand.
The winds may become stronger.
But you will stand.
The waters may rise.
But you will stand.
The enemy may oppose you.
But you will stand.
Because there is something beneath your life that cannot be seen with natural eyes.

ROOTS.

Roots of faith.
Roots of trust.
Roots of obedience.
Roots in the Word.
Roots in the character of God.
Roots in His promises.
Roots in the knowledge of who He is.
And the deeper your roots go into Christ, the less the storms of life have the power to determine your position.

You may bend, but you will not break.
You may be tested, but you will not be destroyed.
You may be shaken, but you will not be uprooted.
For the tree does not stand because there is no storm.
The tree stands because its roots are deeper than the storm is strong.

And this is the word for the believer:

Do not measure your strength by what is happening around you.
Look deeper.
What has God established within you?
Because the strength that will keep you standing tomorrow is being established in you today.

Your hidden life is preparing you for your visible battle.
Your prayer life is becoming a root.
Your obedience is becoming a root.
Your faith is becoming a root.
Your trust in God is becoming a root.
Every time you believe God when circumstances tell you otherwise, another root goes deeper.
Every time you obey His Word when your flesh wants to do something else, another root goes deeper.
Every time you continue trusting Him when you cannot understand what He is doing, another root goes deeper.
Every trial you endure while remaining in Christ is not necessarily evidence that God has abandoned you. It may be evidence that God is strengthening your roots.

So let the storm come.
Let the winds blow.
Let the heavens roar.
Let the earth shake beneath you.
You know where you are rooted.
You are not rooted in circumstances.
You are not rooted in people's opinions.
You are not rooted in possessions.
You are not rooted in your feelings.
You are rooted in Christ.
And what Christ establishes within you, the storm cannot uproot.

The storm is visible.
The roots are hidden.
The battle is visible.
The foundation is hidden.
The shaking is visible.
The strength is hidden.
But when the storm is over, the world will see what God already knew:

THE TREE IS STILL STANDING.
Because the storm could attack the tree,
but it could not reach the roots.
ROOTED IN CHRIST.
BUILT UP IN HIM.
ESTABLISHED IN THE FAITH.
ABOUNDING WITH THANKSGIVING.
STANDING THROUGH THE STORM.
— Colossians 2:7

God bless.

The people of the Old Testament understood that they were to enjoy and experience God while still living on the earth. Their relationship with God was expressed through their daily lives, their obedience, their worship, and their walk with Him. While the Old Testament does contain promises and glimpses concerning life beyond death, its emphasis is repeatedly placed on walking with God in the life He had given them.

Christians today, however, can become so focused on the afterlife that we neglect living holy lives for the Lord now. Holy living in the physical realm can become secondary to us. Our focus becomes Heaven, and that can become dangerous if it causes us to neglect our obedience to God in the present.

We need to understand the relationship between both the spiritual and physical realms. Our spiritual relationship with God must be expressed through our physical lives. Faith must produce action. What we believe spiritually must become visible through how we live physically.

The danger is that we can make mistakes in the opposite direction: becoming so focused on the spiritual and the afterlife that we neglect the physical life of obedience God has given us here and now. Christianity is not merely about where we will go after we die; it is also about how we live before God while we are alive.

We are called to love God, obey His voice, walk with Him, glorify Him through our bodies, serve others, and accomplish the works He has given us to do. The spiritual and physical should not be separated. They are meant to operate together in God's purposes.

The Torah Class teacher, Tom Bradford, refers to this as the “Reality of Duality”—the spiritual and physical realities moving simultaneously.

God bless.

I'm going to use only one of the attributes or characteristics of Yehoveh, which is “God the Savior.”

This character of God as a Savior was not known by man because it had not yet been manifested on earth. It was still in Yehoveh’s spiritual thoughts.

Let me explain this first. Before a man invents or creates something, it first begins in his thoughts. Thoughts and ideas are spiritual. You cannot see them or touch them. They cannot create by themselves; they can only imagine and plan.

To EXECUTE his plans and thoughts, a man is going to need his hands, his mouth, or perhaps his feet to bring those thoughts and ideas to life. He is going to need a physical body.

Let’s look at this example. If a family member dies, they cannot sign papers because they are dead. An EXECUTOR is needed to physically sign whatever papers need to be signed on behalf of the deceased family member. That person becomes the EXECUTOR of the deceased family member’s affairs.

Now you have plans and ideas, and in order to put these plans and ideas into action—to execute them—you are going to need a body. You need a body to accomplish or execute them.

Those whom Yehoveh gave birth to—meaning those who are born again and were elected before the foundation of the world—were chosen to be the EXECUTORS of the Father’s plan to “MAKE DISCIPLES OF ALL NATIONS” (Matthew 28:19–20).
That is the reason why part of Him, the Holy Spirit, lives in us.

So Yehoveh, our God, needed a body to execute His plans as a Savior and to physically demonstrate His characteristics, which were, in the beginning, in spiritual form.

God bless
Gilbert

"Christians today are so concerned about the afterlife and going to heaven that they neglect the current moment of being obedient to God through their actions."
