Whom do you serve?

Galatians 5:19 - 21 ESV

"Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of rage, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. 

I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God."

I ask you, where do you place your trust?

Do you walk by the flesh or by the spirit?

Do you trust in yourself, man, or God?

From where and who does your help come from?

If you live by the flesh you are not a friend of God, but for those who walk by the spirit they are the friends of God.

If I am in trouble I can call on God and He will save me. Can you say the same? (Psalm 138:7)

Do you have the confidence to know that The Lord is on your side? Are you secure in a true relationship with Jesus Christ, Yeshua Ha Mashiach? (Romans 8: 16 - 27)

As for me I choose to abide in The Lord  Almighty and there obtain my refuge! (Psalm 91: 1, 2)

Yours in Messiah,

Shifra 

Gálatas 5:19 - 21 ESV "las obras de la carne son evidentes: fornicación, inmundicia, lascivia, idolatría, hechicerías, enemistades, pleitos, celos, arrebatos de ira, rivalidades, disensiones, divisiones, envidias, borracheras, orgías, y cosas semejantes a estas. Te lo advierto, como ya os previne, que quienes hacen tales cosas no heredarán el reino de Dios. " Yo les pregunto, ¿dónde pones tu confianza? ¿Camina por la carne o por el espíritu? ¿Confía en ti mismo, hombre o Dios? ¿De dónde y quién su ayuda viene? Si usted vive en la carne no es un amigo de Dios, pero para aquellos que caminan por el espíritu que son los amigos de Dios. Si estoy en problemas que pueda invocar a Dios y Él me salvará. ¿Se puede decir lo mismo? (Salmo 138:7) ¿Tiene la confianza de saber que el Señor está a tu lado? ¿Está usted seguro en una relación verdadera con Jesucristo, Yeshua Ha Mashiaj? (Romanos 8: 16 - 27) En cuanto a mí elijo permanecer en el Señor Todopoderoso y no obtengo mi refugio! (Salmo 91: 1, 2) Suyo en Cristo, Shifra

Come

I am He who has come into this world to bring you life. I bared  the cross on your behalf. I bled for you. You ask why would I do this? Because I love you. It's that simple. I love you! 

I took your sins and wounds and put them upon myself. It is through the blood that I shed that you can be set free, but first you must trust in Me and receive Me as your Lord and Savior. 

The things of this world will not get any easier, but behold I am with all who put their trust in Me and I am with them always. 

Why do you hold out? What are you afraid of? The things of this world will eventually fade away, but I will always be with you.

Come unto Me and I will give you the rest and peace you crave. There is nothing that you can give up that I will not return to you a hundred-fold. 

Let Me hold you in My arms with a love that has no bounds. A love that is unconditional. The world can not give this to you. Friends and family will fail, but I will never fail you. I will always be right by your side.

So come to Me and I will show you great and mighty things.

Come!

Remembrance

It is hard to believe it is another anniversary of 9/11. Life seems to keep flying by.

This day is emblazoned in my mind. The emotions and fear that I felt -- well -- there are no words to describe it. 

As a Christian I am not to fear, but in my humanness I did. I knew I would go to heaven, but fear was there and the only thing I could think of was my husband and daughter. 

I hopped into my car and drove to the school to pick up my toddler as so many other parents did. I only know that I wanted her at my side. 

I tried remaining calm in front of her so she would not become fearful. Did I succeed? Truthfully, I don't know.

I do know that my daughter is well rounded and in about two months will be getting married. I am so thankful for the young woman she has become. 

My heart still goes out to all the families and friends of those who were lost on that horrendous day.

This is a day that we should always remember and not to become complacent about. It happened once and can happen again.

We need to put God at the forefront and to remember our Judeo-Christian roots which this country was built on. We need to stop playing church and to live it! Wake up America!

Es difícil de creer que es otro aniversario del 9/11. La vida parece seguir volando.

Este día es blasonado en mi mente. Las emociones y el miedo que sentía... bueno... no hay palabras para describirlo. 

Como cristiano estoy no le da miedo, pero lo hice en mi humanidad. Sabía que iría al cielo, pero el miedo estaba allí y lo único que se me ocurrió fue mi marido y mi hija. 

Me subí al auto y lo condujo a la escuela a recoger a mi niño como tantos otros padres. Sólo sé que yo quería a mi lado. 

Intenté restante calma frente a ella para que no se había vuelto temerosa. ¿Conseguirá? Sinceramente, no sé.

Sé que mi hija está bien redondeada y en unos dos meses se casa. Estoy muy agradecido por la joven se ha convertido en. 

Mi corazón todavía sale a todas las familias y amigos de quienes murieron ese día horrendo.

Este es un día que siempre debemos recordar y no para ser complacientes sobre. Se pasó una vez y puede suceder de nuevo.

Necesitamos poner a Dios en la vanguardia y recordar nuestras raíces Judeo-cristianas que este país se construyeron. Tenemos que dejar de jugar a la iglesia y a vivirla! ¡ Despierta América!

Life or death?

Praise The Lord, oh, my soul! 

Praise Him in both the good and the bad times. 

Rejoice, my soul, and remember all that The Lord has done.

Be not concerned, for The Lord, fights our battles. I tell you to place your trust in The Lord. There is no greater God, no greater One then He! Be not fearful, oh my soul, for the enemies flee at the mention of His name. 

His beloved know Him by name and He comes to all that choose to call upon Him.

Bow down all you who choose to do iniquity! Bow your knee and repent before it is too late! 

The loving arms of The Lord are open and await all who will trust in Him. 

You, who say you know Him and turn your backs on Him, will suffer an unquenchable death!

Choose whom you will serve. Life or death? 

My soul chooses to serve the One and only True God who was and is and is to come!

Hallelujah!!

Alabado sea el señor, oh, mi alma! 

Alabadle en los buenos y los malos momentos. 

Regocíjate, mi alma y recuerda a que todos el Señor ha hecho.

No se preocupe por el señor pelea nuestras batallas. Te digo que pongas tu confianza en el señor. No hay ningún Dios mayor, nadie mayor entonces! No seas temeroso, oh mi alma, para los enemigos huir en la mención de su nombre. 

Su amada lo conocen por nombre y llegue a todos los que le invocan.

Inclinad la cabeza todo lo que decidan hacer iniquidad! Arco de la rodilla y se arrepienten antes de que sea demasiado tarde! 

Los brazos amorosos de Jehová están abiertos y esperan a todos los que se confía en él. 

¿Quién dice que lo conoce y den la espalda a él, sufrirá una muerte insaciable!

Elegir a quién servirás. ¿Vida o muerte? 

Mi alma decide servir el uno y único Dios verdadero quien fue, es y está por venir.

Aleluya!!

Blessed

Father, I thank You for Your word of truth. I thank You that when we put our trust in You that You hear us. You do not leave us like helpless lambs, but You shepherd us through the Holy Spirit. You are our sure defense in times of need. You are loving and nurturing. You are for us and not against us. How blessed we are to know that You alone are God and there is no other and that all we have to do is whisper Your name and You are there. Hallelujah!

Awesome is He

The Lord is so good to us and yet there are times that we just put Him on the back burner. We think we can get along without Him. We become independent rather then dependent upon Him. 

How can we so easily forget all that He has done for us. 

It was He alone that made the heavens and the earth. It was He alone that placed the sun, moon and stars in the sky. It was He alone that parted the Red Sea. It was He alone that died upon the tree at Cavalry! He alone is our salvation!

He alone is the one we must run to. We must acknowledge Him not only in the bad times, but each and every moment of our lives. 

Every breath we take comes from God Almighty.

He is awesome and worthy of our praise.

Let us never become complacent or forget what He sacrificed so that we could have life and have it more abundantly.

Yours in Christ,

Shifra

A Piece of Art

I enjoy jigsaw puzzles. First I put the frame together and then I work on the center. I love seeing the whole thing come together. (I hate it when there is a piece missing. LOL)
This is how we are in the hands of God. First He formed us and then He works on us from the inside out. It is not our outward appearance that is important, but the inward. What happens on the inside of us will reflect on the outside.
We are tapestries in God's hands. He puts each thread of our lives in the proper place. Every intricate piece of our life he fits together just like a jigsaw puzzle.
What a loving God we have. He will continue till He completes the work. (See Phil. 1:6)

Disfruto de los rompecabezas. Primero puse el marco juntos y luego yo trabajo en el centro. Me encanta ver que todo viene junto. (Odio cuando hay una pieza que falta. LOL)
Así es como estamos en las manos de Dios. Primero, Él nos formó y luego Trabaja con nosotros desde adentro hacia afuera. No es nuestra apariencia externa que es importante, pero el interior. ¿Qué sucede en el interior de nosotros va a reflejar en el exterior.
Vemos tapices en las manos de Dios. Se pone cada hilo de nuestras vidas en el lugar adecuado. Cada pieza compleja de nuestra vida que encaja como un rompecabezas.
¡Qué Dios vivo que tenemos. Continuará hasta que él complete el trabajo. (Ver Fil. 1:6)

Your God

God bears your burdens.
God is your salvation.
God is your deliverer.
God shatters the heads of your enemies.
God is your strength.
He is a shield round about you.

Bless The Lord with all your heart and soul!
Bless Him both in the good and bad times.

Know that The Lord your God is always with you,
Forever and ever.

Encouragement

Know that The Lord is God and that He is always with you.
He loves you and will never leave you nor forsake you.
He gave His life so that you would have life everlasting.
He knows your hearts desire and He knows every tear you have shed.

"Be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For The Lord your God is with you wherever you go."
Joshua 1:9

"And The Lord is the one who goes ahead of you; He will be with you. He will not fail you or forsake you. Do not fear, or be dismayed."
Deuteronomy 31:8

"And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, shall guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
Philippians 4:7

In Yeshua,
Shifra
