Chanukah Humility

Chanukah Humility

Once again I give credit to Restored Ministries for the writing of this blog in 2019. Chanukah Humility… We continue to count the nights of Chanukah and we have reached day seven. We have seen and observed the progression of the fruits moving toward issues in the heart. Goodness and faithfulness are traits from within. The next one is as well, although we often look for it in actions. On night seven the candle we light is HUMILITY. Yes, I put this in capital letters. Yes, we

Chanukah Kindness

Chanukah Kindness

Once again I give credit to Restored Ministries for the initial write of this devotional. The fourth night of Chanukah is marked for us by the word, “kindness.” The “LOVE” candle lights Joy, Peace, Patience and now Kindness... The moment I hear this word I think back to a song from years ago that Leslie Phillips sang and the words say, “It’s your kindness that leads us to repentance oh Lord...” It truly is amazing to think that we have a GOD who loves us so much that He will

Chanukah Patience

Once again I give credit to Restored Ministries as I wrote this for them in 2019. I pray it blesses you as we walk through these days of miracles. Chanukah Patience… On the third night of Chanukah the “Love” candle lights Joy, than Peace and now PATIENCE… The word patience usually stirs up lots of emotions in people. Most parents are constantly telling their young children, “just be patient.” As adults we struggle when things don’t happen right away and we often get impatient

Peace

Peace

Matthew 28:8-15 8 So they left the tomb quickly, frightened yet filled with joy; and they ran to give the news to his talmidim (disciples/students). 9 Suddenly Yeshua met them and said, “Shalom!” They came up and took hold of his feet as they fell down in front of him. 10 Then Yeshua said to them, “Don’t be afraid! Go and tell my brothers to go to the Galil, and they will see me there.” 11 As they were going, some of the guards went into the city and reported to the head coha

Love from the Cross

Matthew 27:32-37 32 As they were leaving, they met a man from Cyrene named Shim‘on; and they forced him to carry Yeshua’s execution-stake. 33 When they arrived at a place called Gulgolta (which means “place of a skull”), 34 they gave him wine mixed with bitter gall to drink; but after tasting it, he would not drink it. 35 After they had nailed him to the stake, they divided his clothes among them by throwing dice. 36 Then they sat down to keep watch over him there. 37 Above h

Clean out your tomb!

Matthew 23:27-32 27 “Woe to you hypocritical Torah-teachers and P’rushim (Pharisees)! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look fine on the outside but inside are full of dead people’s bones and all kinds of rottenness. 28 Likewise, you appear to people from the outside to be good and honest, but inwardly you are full of hypocrisy and far from Torah. 29 “Woe to you hypocritical Torah-teachers and P’rushim! You build tombs for the prophets and decorate the graves of the tzadd

Matthew 22:41-46 41 Then, turning to the assembled P’rushim (Pharisees), Yeshua put a sh’eilah (question) to them: 42 “Tell me your view concerning the Messiah: whose son is he?” They said to him, “David’s.” 43 “Then how is it,” he asked them, “that David, inspired by the Spirit, calls him ‘Lord,’ when he says, 44 ‘Adonai said to my Lord, “Sit here at my right hand until I put your enemies under your feet”’? 45 If David thus calls him ‘Lord,’ how is he his son?” 46 No one cou

Matthew 21:12-13 12 Yeshua entered the Temple grounds and drove out those who were doing business there, both the merchants and their customers. He upset the desks of the money-changers and knocked over the benches of those who were selling pigeons. 13 He said to them, “It has been written,‘My house will be called a house of prayer.’ But you are making it into a den of robbers!” Isaiah 56:7 I will bring them to my holy mountain and make them joyful in my house of prayer; thei

Matthew 19:13-15 13 Then children were brought to him so that he might lay his hands on them and pray for them, but the talmidim (disciples/students) rebuked the people bringing them. 14 However, Yeshua said, “Let the children come to me, don’t stop them, for the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to such as these.” 15 Then, after laying his hands on them, he went on his way. We already know that children are precious in the eyes of the Father. Jesus taught the followers to become lik

Matthew 16:21-23 21 From that time on, Yeshua began making it clear to his talmidim (disciples/students) that he had to go to Yerushalayim (Jerusalem) and endure much suffering at the hands of the elders, the head cohanim (high priests) and the Torah-teachers; and that he had to be put to death; but that on the third day, he had to be raised to life. 22 Kefa took him aside and began rebuking him, “Heaven be merciful, Lord! By no means will this happen to you!” 23 But Yeshua t

Matthew 15:21-28 21 Yeshua left that place and went off to the region of Tzor and Tzidon (Tyre and Sidon). 22 A woman from Kena‘an (Canaan) who was living there came to him, pleading, “Sir, have pity on me. Son of David! My daughter is cruelly held under the power of demons!” 23 But Yeshua did not say a word to her. Then his talmidim (disciples/students) came to him and urged him, “Send her away, because she is following us and keeps pestering us with her crying.” 24 He said,

Truth or Tradition?

Truth or Tradition?

Matthew 15:1-9 Then some P’rushim (Pharisees) and Torah-teachers from Yerushalayim (Jerusalem) came to Yeshua and asked him, 2 “Why is it that your talmidim (disciples/students) break the Tradition of the Elders? They don’t do n’tilat-yadayim (hand-washing) before they eat!” 3 He answered, “Indeed, why do you break the command of God by your tradition? 4 For God said, ‘Honor your father and mother,’ and ‘Anyone who curses his father or mother must be put to death.’ 5 But you

Are you like dough?

Matthew 13:33-35 33 And he told them yet another parable. “The Kingdom of Heaven is like yeast that a woman took and mixed with a bushel of flour, then waited until the whole batch of dough rose.” 34 All these things Yeshua said to the crowds in parables; indeed, he said nothing to them without using a parable. 35 This was to fulfill what had been spoken through the prophet, “I will open my mouth in parables, I will say what has been hidden since the creation of the universe.

Weeds and Wheat

Weeds and Wheat

Matthew 13:24-30 24 Yeshua put before them another parable. “The Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field; 25 but while people were sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, then went away. 26 When the wheat sprouted and formed heads of grain, the weeds also appeared. 27 The owner’s servants came to him and said, ‘Sir didn’t you sow good seed in your field? Where have the weeds come from?’ 28 He answered, ‘An enemy has done this.’ The s

30 “Those who are not with me are against me, and those who do not gather with me are scattering. 31 Because of this, I tell you that people will be forgiven any sin and blasphemy, but blaspheming the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) will not be forgiven. 32 One can say something against the Son of Man and be forgiven; but whoever keeps on speaking against the Ruach HaKodesh will never be forgiven, neither in the ‘olam hazeh (these days) nor in the ‘olam haba (days to come).

Matthew 11:16-19 16 “Oh, what can I compare this generation with? They’re like children sitting in the marketplaces, calling out to each other, 17 ‘We made happy music, but you wouldn’t dance! We made sad music, but you wouldn’t cry!’ 18 For Yochanan came, fasting, not drinking — so they say, ‘He has a demon.’ 19 The Son of Man came, eating freely and drinking wine — so they say, ‘Aha! A glutton and a drunkard! A friend of tax-collectors and sinners!’ Well, the proof of wis

Matthew 11:7-15 7 As they were leaving, Yeshua began speaking about Yochanan (John) to the crowds: “What did you go out to the desert to see? Reeds swaying in the breeze? 8 No? then what did you go out to see? Someone who was well dressed? Well-dressed people live in kings’ palaces. 9 Nu, so why did you go out? To see a prophet! Yes! and I tell you he’s much more than a prophet. 10 This is the one about whom the Tanakh (Scriptures) says, ‘See, I am sending out my messenger ah

Matthew 11:1-6 After Yeshua had finished instructing the twelve talmidim, he went on from there to teach and preach in the towns nearby. 2 Meanwhile, Yochanan the Immerser (John the Baptist), who had been put in prison, heard what the Messiah had been doing; so he sent a message to him through his talmidim, 3 asking, “Are you the one who is to come, or should we look for someone else?” 4 Yeshua answered, “Go and tell Yochanan what you are hearing and seeing — 5 the blind are

Matthew 10:24-27 24 “A talmid (disciple/student) is not greater than his rabbi, a slave is not greater than his master. 25 It is enough for a talmid that he become like his rabbi, and a slave like his master. Now if people have called the head of the house Ba‘al-Zibbul (Beelzebul), how much more will they malign the members of his household! 26 So do not fear them; for there is nothing covered that will not be uncovered, or hidden that will not be known. 27 What I tell you in

Healing from the Inside

Matthew 8:14-17 14 Yeshua went to Kefa’s home and there saw Kefa’s mother-in-law sick in bed with a fever. 15 He touched her hand, the fever left her, and she got up and began helping him. 16 When evening came, many people held in the power of demons were brought to him. He expelled the spirits with a word and healed all who were ill. 17 This was done to fulfill what had been spoken through the prophet Yesha‘yahu (Isaiah), “He himself took our weaknesses and bore our diseases
