  • T&M TRUST WHEN YOU HAVE FAILED

    Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect; but I follow-after, if that i may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Messiah Yahvahosha. Phil 3:12

    In order to fight successfully in the battle against sin, you must keep close to Yahvahosha. do not talk unbelief; you have no excuse for doing this...Unbelief always separates the soul for Messiah.

    It is not praiseworthy to talk of our weakness and discouragement. Let each one say "I am grieved that I yield to temptation, that my prayers are so feeble, my faith so weak. I have no exercise to plead for being dwarfed in my religious life. But I am seeking to obtain completeness of character in Messiah. I have sinned, and yet I love Yahvahosha. I have fallen many times, and yet He has reached out His hand to save me. I have told Him all about my mistakes. I have confessed with shame and sorrow that I have dishonored Him. I have looked to the stake, and have said, All this He suffered for me. The Holy Ghost has shown me my ingratitude. sin in putting Messiah to open shame. He who know no sin has forgiven my sin. He calls me to a higher, nobler life, and I press on to the things that are before.

    The humility that bears fruit, filling the soul with a sense of the love of Yahvah, will speak for the the one who has cherished it, in the great day when men will be rewarded according to their works have been. Happy will be the one of whom it can be said, "The Spirit of Yahvah never stirred this man's soul in vain. He went forward and upward from strength to strength. Self was not woven into his life. Each message of correction, warning, and counsel he received as a blessing from Yahvah. That the way was prepared for him to receive still greater blessings, because Yahvah did not speak to him in vain. Each step upward on the ladder of progress prepared him to climb still higher. From the top of the ladder the bright beams of Yahvah's majesty shone upon him. He did no think of resting, but sought constantly to attain the wisdom and righteousness of Messiah. Even he pressed toward the mark from the prize of the high calling of Yahvah in Messiah Yahvahosha.

    This experience every one who is saved must have.

    PRAYER:FATHER, WE ASK THAT WE TRUST YOU WHEN WE HAVE FAILED. IT IS NOT YOU THAT HAVE FAILED US, IT IS US THAT HAVE FAILED  YOU. WE ASK FOR YOUR HELP AND BE WITH US EACH DAY. WE THANK YOU FOR YOUR BLESSING THAT YOU GIVE TO US EACH AND EVERY DAY. THANK YOU YAHVAH. HALLELUYAH! Bro. Doc

  • What I said is what comes out of your body that makes you unclean. So you but it into you body you are unclean. And you are to live by the example of the Messiah Yahvahosha, and if he didn't do it them it is WRONG plan and simple.So would one smoke and drink if the Messiah was standing in front of them no matter whom they are male/female? No of course not. Have a blessed day.

    The Scripture is clearn my friend Mt 15:11 Not that which goeth into the mouth devileth a man; BUT THAT WHICH COMETH OUT OF THE MOUTH, THIS DEFILETH A MAN.

    This is what the Messiah said. you may put what you want into your mouth etc, but when it comes out of the mouth it defileth the man.

    Let us now read from the Simple English What does into the mouth does not make a person unholy ( would be find one would be right if this is all the Scripture says) Look what else it says No, it is what comes out the mouth that makes a person unholy.

    So if it is not Messiah like than it comes out of the mouth and makes it unholy.

    And anyone that pollutes their temple with unclean things defiles it.

    The Messiah is not going to live a temple that  has garbage in it.

    Whatever it is? And if He (Messiah) did not do it we should not either. This is what Mt 15:11 says in the KJV and SEB.

    So by what it says it is wrong my friend. I am only speaking what the Scripture says Bro. Doc

  • @BroDoc - Thank you for making your position and your disregard for scripture (when it gets in the way of your doctrine) clear Doc. It's been a long time since I've seen such duplicity - call me brother and in the same breath call my salvation and membership in the body into question.

    If Ye'shua tells me that NOTHING that goes into my body can make me unclean and you tell me that some things that go into my body make me unclean, I have no choice but to call you out for the liar that you are. I choose to believe him over you, Doc. You are in direct disagreement with Ye'shua himself, but maybe all those degrees qualify you for that. People will follow and listen to anyone these days, won't they.

  • @AOK4WAY - I am going to say this Bro. Tony, If one is saved, smoking and drinking is not a saved persons life.
    And if one smokes and drinks they CANNOT BE SAVED. Scripture says be ye in the world but not part of it.
    Your body is the temple and YOU SHOULD NOT PUT UNCLEAN JUNK IN YOUR SYSTEM THAT IS UNPLEASING TO HIM. Bro. Doc@Lewis1122 - This is right no, Bro Lewis. Bro. Doc
    @Growedup - Thank you for visiting Sis. Bev.  Great Comments Bro. Doc

  • @AOK4WAY - I think God has a way of knocking us to our knees and making us humble when "judgment gets in the way of mercy". I have experienced this many times in life... when I was younger I looked at a woman by the pool thinking she should cover more (her stretch marks)... than I grew later in life to have kids and gain more than she had. I can give many more examples... but God will humble us and give us those hard lessons to learn

  • Very good Bro Doc!! Only a humble person can grow, because a proud man justifies his actions and then there is no repentance. Amen

  • ~*Thanks*~

  • @BroDoc - Well bro, let my defense be scriptural.

    Therefore, if you died with Christ from the basic principles of the world, why, as though living in the world, do you subject yourselves to regulations--"Do not touch, do not taste, do not handle," which all concern things which perish with the using--according to the commandments and doctrines of men? These things indeed have an appearance of wisdom in self-imposed religion, false humility, and neglect of the body, but are of no value against the indulgence of the flesh. (Col 2:20-23)

    When He had called all the multitude to Himself, He said to them, "Hear Me, everyone, and understand: There is nothing that enters a man from outside which can defile him; but the things which come out of him, those are the things that defile a man. (Mar 7:14-15)

    Please consider what was in my heart at the time, brother, and what came out of it. I responded to the prompting of the spirit in love and a genuine desire to be of service to my King by being of service to that man. I acted in mercy and in love, moved by his spirit.

    But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. (Gal 5:22-23)

    My brother, if only you knew how many times a smoke has opened the door for me to speak with someone, especially homeless folks at bus stations or elsewhere on the street, and witness to them! Right now I'm thinking of a guy named Vince, Lord please be with him and bless him, that I met at a bust stop in downtown Gary IN. Here's a pic of me and him in the bus stop. He was homeless and living a hard life in a dangerous place (Gary IN was the murder capital of the U.S. at that time and is still close to the top of the list). It was a cigarette (many cigarettes in fact) that we smoked together, standing outside in the cold air and wind, that kept that conversation going until... he asked me to pray with him. And we did brother. That was one of the most awesome days in my whole life!

    So here’s the thing, Doc… It’s always judgment that gets in the way of mercy. I follow a pretty good example, I think, in not even judging myself, but striving in all things, to the best of my ability, in spite of all my imperfections, to serve him and turn peoples’ hearts toward him. Because I think that’s what he wants, in spite of all my weaknesses and failings, and in spite of all of theirs too.

    Peace be with you and your house, brother

  • @AOK4WAY - Bro. Tony every thing you said except the Smokes was wonderful. But why a pack of smokes that is not compatible with Scripture. But sometimes we don't heed what we should.
    And again smoking is not correct with Scripture. Bro. Doc
    @HUMOR_ME_NOW - Yes, Bro. Frank I do like Phil 1:6 lots too. And we need to be ready to meet Yahvahosha, because it can't be much longer. And you are welcome. Bro. Doc

  • I like Philippians 1:6 a lot when I think of being ready to meet Jesus.

    Thanks for your teaching today, Pastor.

  • Brother, as a follower and lover of Ye'shua and my Father in the heavens, I must confess that I am no stranger to failure.

    Yesterday for example, a man, obviously homeless, rode up on his bike as I was standing at the curb chatting with the mailman in front of my house, which I do on an almost daily basis. The man's face was terribly mangled, and as we spoke, I sensed the heart of a soldier in him (having been one myself). I theorized that he had been badly injured by an IED or possibly by some incoming.

    At the time, he was out looking for someone who had attempted to steal his bike from him and had pulled a gun on him in the process. I told him "My brother, if the guy has a gun on him, maybe you don't want to find him." But he was adamant, and rode off to continue his search.

    After he'd gone and I was back on my porch thinking about it, a strong sense of conviction came over me. Why hadn't I invited him to come sit with me, have a cup of coffee, maybe something to eat, maybe even offer to let him shower and wash his clothes for him? Why?

    I don't know why.

    I hopped on my ATV and went to look for him. I found his bike in the woods right by my house, and I sat there for a while hoping he would show up. I had a pack of smokes for him and I intended to invite him back to my home for all of the above. But as I said, he never showed up.

    I felt as though I'd missed an opportunity, and I still feel that way. So brother, thank you for this uplifting message. Ye'shua never fails me, Father never fails me, and yet in so many ways on so many days, I fall short of being that always on servant I long to be. Thanks for this, bro.
