I am taking the liberty to repost this blog from a few years ago. Even if you read it then, it is always good to take another look at Yeshua. We easily forget who He is and why He came. Yeshua wasn’t born on December 25th, but it is the day that the world traditionally … Continue reading Who is This Child in a Manger? (repost)
Yeshua
They Shall Call His Name Immanuel
Merry Christmas to all of you. God never marked the day of Jesus birth on His Biblical calendar. It was likely during the Feast of Tabernacles in September or October, but December 25th was chosen in A.D. 440. The Bible does not record a date, but we do have the details. And two places in … Continue reading They Shall Call His Name Immanuel
He Came Quiet
In December 2019, I wrote these words. In this upside down world we have all been living in, I am re-posting for your reflection. May you be blessed. Lord, give me the words to sing Your song.Give me the words to tell Your story. The wind blows cold rattling the windows and pushing through the … Continue reading He Came Quiet
His Name Shall be Called – MIGHTY GOD
There can’t be too many surprises in Mighty God, or can there? Are you ready to get totally blessed? When I looked at this next title given to Yeshua, I was blown away. There is a truckload of treasure here. Read it slowly. There’s some preachin’ ground here. We’ll start with MIGHTY. #1368 in Strong’s. … Continue reading His Name Shall be Called – MIGHTY GOD
Unto Us a Child is Born
Jesus didn't come as a conquering king or fierce warrior. He came as a child, an innocent baby that cried when He was hungry and slept when He was tired. When Isaiah wrote this verse centuries before His birth, Holy Spirit anointed him with just the right words to use. Isaiah 9:6 is a bold … Continue reading Unto Us a Child is Born
In Him I Will Trust. Psalm 91:2c and Summary of 91:2
Trust is hard to come by in our world of deceptive reporting and fake news. But there is One we can trust in. Psalm 20:7 says, “Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God.” NIV In this Psalm 91:2 verse, David uses … Continue reading In Him I Will Trust.

Closing Thoughts on the Armor of God
As warriors for the King, we are called to put on the Armor of God. But we've discovered through this series that God's idea of armor and man's idea of armor is very different. Instead of a uniform to hang in your closet and put on each morning, God's armor is a 24/7, 365, Kingdom … Continue reading Closing Thoughts on the Armor of God
What is the Sword of the Spirit? Armor of God Part 7
Now, this Sword is the only defensive weapon in our armor. As children of God, we are taught to love, forgive, and show mercy. Still, He gives us a sword--an instrument of war, to maim or to kill. What is this about? Note that neither in the wilderness when Jesus faced Satan, nor when Jesus … Continue reading What is the Sword of the Spirit? Armor of God Part 7
What is the Helmet of Salvation? Armor of God Part 6
Here is a picture of a Roman soldier's helmet with added Christian decoration. As I said in the introduction, the Armor of God does not look like a soldier's armor. Still, you will discover that there are some similarities in the way our head is covered when we wear the Helmet of Salvation. The helmet … Continue reading What is the Helmet of Salvation? Armor of God Part 6
What is the Shield of Faith? Armor of God Part 5
Before I began digging into the meaning behind the armor of God, I didn't realize how big the Shield of Faith is. This picture may look a bit strange to you. However, the word Shield symbolically means to shield like a door. A 'door.' Does that ring any bells with you? In John 10:17, Jesus … Continue reading What is the Shield of Faith? Armor of God Part 5
