God Hears, Remembers, Sees, Knows and Act!

Many, many years before the people of Israel were slaves in Egypt, God made a covenant with Abraham and told him that He would give his descendants the land of Canaan as their possession. God also told Abraham that his descendants will be strangers in a foreign land, where they will be oppressed as slaves for 400 years. However, He will deliver them and bring them to the land of Canaan (Genesis 15).

God has spoken to many of us and promised that He will fulfil something in our lives. Years has passed and we wonder if God has forgotten. Life has been hard, many trials and many of us feel tired. We question, will God’s promise ever come to pass? Is God hearing our cries? I am sure the Israelites wondered the same thing. They would have heard of the God of their forefathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and the covenant made. I am sure many days, they wondered, where is the God we have heard about.

Scripture tells us that the Israelites continued to groan under their burden of slavery. They cried out for help, and their cry rose up to God. God heard their groaning, and He remembered His covenant promise to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. I want you to know that God hears your cry for help also, and your cry has entered into His ears. “In my distress I called upon the Lord and cried to my God: and He did hear my voice out of His temple, and my cry did enter into His ears” (2 Samuel 22:7 KJV). Just as He remembered His covenant promise to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, He will remember His promise to you. God has not forgotten you, and the promise He made to you.

The scripture continues, He, God looked down on the people of Israel and knew it was time to act! There is an appointed time for God to act. I want you to know that your God, my God, our God, hears, remembers, sees and knows the right time to act! Our God will act! Our God is not made with human hands. Our God is not the work of men. Our God is not deaf, He does not suffer from amnesia (memory loss), He is not blind and He is not impulsive! He is intentional! Our God is a God who takes action. He has the master plan. He is a God of His Word. What He said, He will do! He will act! When God acts, who dare can stand in His way! He will fulfil what He has promised!

HALLELUYAH!!!

When Confidence Hides Weakness

Peter’s bold words fell apart in a single night, and when confidence hides weakness, God gently reveals our need to rely on Him rather than ourselves.

“Yeshua said to him, ‘Truly, I tell you, this very night, before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.’ Peter said to Him, ‘Even if I must die with You, I will not deny You!’” (Matthew 26:34–35).

Peter was confident. He had no doubts. He couldn’t imagine any circumstance in which he would fall away from following Yeshua. He boldly declared he would never fall away. But Yeshua warned he would deny Him three times that very night.

Then, just a few hours later, Peter did exactly as Yeshua had predicted. He fled when Yeshua was arrested. Then he denied Him three times, even cursing and swearing.

Through these events, Peter realized he had a huge blind spot. Thinking he was strong, he had no idea how weak he truly was. He thought he could face any problem, but he didn’t realize how quickly problems could overwhelm him. He thought he was firm in his convictions, without understanding how quickly he could be shaken.

Peter’s experience provides a powerful lesson for all of us. No matter how mature, strong, or experienced we think we are, we inevitably will go through situations that stretch and challenge us. Like Peter, we will see things about ourselves that may surprise or disappoint us, making us realize just how weak we are in our flesh and how much we need Yeshua!

Ask God to help you to recognize any blind spots in your life and open your eyes to areas where you need to change. Humble yourself before Him and seek to be humble in your relationships with others. Constantly submit your life to God. Be open and teachable.

Father, show me my blind spots. Forgive me for pride and for trusting in myself. Thank You for forgiving me. I depend on You. In Yeshua’s Name…Amen.

A Work of Grace from Start to Finish

‘I am sure of this very thing—that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the Day of Messiah Yeshua’ - Philippians 1:6 TLV

Every man and woman who is born of the Spirit is being shaped into the image of our Lord, Adonai. This sacred process of sanctification begins at spiritual rebirth, when we are born again through faith. As it is written in John 3:6, “That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit” From that moment, a lifelong transformation begins—one that will ultimately reach its fullness when we are taken into His Presence, for “those whom He justified, He also glorified” (Romans 8:30).

It is the will of God that His children be changed “from glory to Glory” (2 Corinthians 3:18), being conformed into the likeness of Adonai. Yet this transformation is not accomplished by human effort. Scripture reminds us clearly: “Apart from Me you can do nothing” (John 15:5). The work of sanctification, like justification and glorification, belongs entirely to God. No person can make themselves righteous, for “by the works of the law no flesh shall be justified” (Galatians 2:16).

From the very beginning, it is God who initiates this work. “He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Adonai” (Philippians 1:6). The Grace that saved us is rooted in the Love of the Father, who sent His Son as the atoning sacrifice for sin (1 John 4:10). That same Grace sustains and transforms us daily until we see Him as He is (1 John 3:2).

So what, then, is our role in this divine process?

We are not called to passivity, nor are we mere instruments without will. Instead, we are invited into active dependence. We are to “present [our] bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God” (Romans 12:1), and to “walk by the Spirit” (Galatians 5:16). As we abide in Him, He produces fruit in us—“love, joy, peace, patience…” (Galatians 5:22-23).

Our part is to remain yielded, to listen, to obey, and to stay in fellowship with Him. “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us” (1 John 1:9), restoring our communion with Him. In this way, God works in us “both to will and to do for His good pleasure” (Philippians 2:13).

We are not striving to earn salvation or perfection; rather, we are responding to the work already begun in us. As Ephesians 2:10 declares, “For we are His workmanship, created… for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.”

Therefore, let us walk in humble submission and faithful cooperation, allowing Adonai to live through us. Like the apostle Paul, may we come to say, “It is no longer I who live, but Adonai lives in me” (Galatians 2:20). And with confidence, we trust that the One who began this work will bring it to glorious completion. HalleluYah!
