Yeshua, You and Who To Follow



Yeshua In Conversation With You
Inspired by Excerpts from John 10

There is a thief out there, and he is very evil.  He comes for the purpose stealing from you, taking your life from you and destroying you. He is very real, and he is the Devil.  But I have come to care for you because I have come to give life to you, and this life I give you is more than merely getting by and muddling through. I offer you a full life and a completed life. I make this life possible for you because I am the good Shepherd, and I chose to lay down my life just for you as one of the sheep of my sheepfold. No one forced me to give up my life for you.  I laid it down willingly, and by the power of God's Holy Spirit, I took it up again. So, because I live, I offer you the power to also be fully alive! I accomplished all this because I have the greatest love for you that you can imagine ... even greater than you can imagine.

This is not true of other people. There are other spiritual leaders whom you have among you, but they are only hired hands, and because the sheep - you - don't belong to him, he will run away from any difficulties and dangers. Why?  Because this one works only for the pay received, and you are not really one of his own. So the wolf pounces and scatters your love ones and you!  Be careful, therefore, and prayerful regarding who you choose to follow.

As for me, I know all the sheep and each one knows me.  My sheep will follow only me.  What about you? Are you one of my sheep?  Will you follow me? If you turn from all your brokenness and sin to me and believe in me, I will give you the power to truly live with me from now to eternity.

Yeshua

Stepping Stones For Victorious Christ Centered Living #20 Shake A Little Salt

  The Challenge of Having An Unsavory Life. We live in a world where a whole lot of people are suffering:  Many struggle spiritually. Others,  because of their spiritual issue, have emotional struggles. Still others have relationships that are strained. Financial issues also may be added into the mix; additionally, physical challenges,  or health challenges, are a part of this. Mix a little high pace, and rarely slowing down in life, and you can see something is really going on impacting life in a negative way. In other words  all of these, plus any number of other things experienced in the 21st century, contribute to people experiencing unsavory lives. Jesus Speaking to You and M e Jesus has something to say about this. And He wants each of us to help out by, first beginning to embrace our identity. He wants us "become" so we match our identity, and if we don't, we really miss out and mess up.  Check out what He says, as He expressly tells us who we are. A...

Looking Back To Have A Future: Overcoming Storms

Stepping Stones For Victorious Christ Centered Living #1 Therefore, anyone who hears the words of mine-- and puts them into practice -- is like a wise man who built his house on a rock: The rain came down, the streams rose, the winds blew, and beat against the house; yet, it did not fall, because it had its foundation on THE ROCK! BUT Everyone who hears these words of mine, and does NOT put them into practice, is like a foolish man who built his house on sand: The rain came down, the streams rose, the winds blew, and beat against the house. And IT FELL WITH A GREAT CRASH! Jesus (Matthew 7:24-27 S T O R M S Storms seem to come into everyone's life. Some experience more, and others experience less; however, the winds of adversity do, indeed, come. Some even howl like a Category-5  hurricane that beats relentlessly on the shores of people's lives. Dear Christ Follower, some of you know precisely what I am saying. And I am here to tell you Jesus provides us with Stepping Stones fo...

2024 Let God Help Make Your Life Beautiful

Image
Ready or Not Here It Comes Leap year is upon us. Yep! We get to have one extra day on the calendar of 2024. And as the new year opens up before our very eyes, whatever we bring into this year -- good, bad, happy or sad -- will be a part of the fabric of this new year. For some of us this will be challenging. Why? Because some are really struggling with what is going on in our culture. Many are having to grapple with spiritual, emotional, relational, financial and/or physical struggles. And just because people are saying "HAPPY NEW YEAR" these challenges are still very real. So, how are we to get ready for this if the new year, in focus, appears anything but happy? But Remember -- God I have learned that when life meets us head on, it is important to think of all these challenges, but remember God:  As Christ Followers, you and I are not in this journey alone, and as the ancient wisdom of Ecclesiastes 3:11a teaches, "God makes ALL things beautiful in it's time." ...
