    Prayer of Blessings
    2026/09/26
    The Old Testament contains several prayers for God’s blessings, grace (favor), and protection. The Hebrew word for blessings means “barak.” One of the most significant prayers appears in Numbers 6:22-27, called the priestly blessing. This same blessing also appears in Psalm 67:1-2. In this priestly prayer, the living Sovereign LORD God spoke and said to His faithful servant Moses, with instructions to speak to his brother, Aaron, and his sons, on how they were to bless God’s people with the LORD’s special blessing. In the Old Testament, Aaron and his sons were priests from the tribe of Levi, and they prayed for the people to receive God’s special blessings, grace, and protection. First, Aaron and his sons prayed the LORD’s blessings on the people and their families, asking that the LORD’s safety hedge protect them from Satan’s harm and danger, and that He bless their land and labor with fertility and abundance. The living Sovereign LORD God is the King of the Universe, and He is the source of all spiritual blessings of good health, peace, grace, safety, and fertility through love with faithfulness and obedience to Him and His holy ways. Next, Aaron and his sons were to pray a prayer of blessings so that the LORD would shine His glorious face upon His people and be gracious to them with His love and mercy in every way. The holy Presence of the living LORD is like sunshine and a shield for those who humbly love and walk with Him by faith. Moreover, Aaron and his sons were to pray for the living Sovereign LORD God to lift His countenance (face) upon them with His approving favor and give them lasting peace (shalom), total well-being, and gladness from heaven to their hearts and their land. The Holy Bible warns of the dangers, troubles, and brokenness that happen when the LORD turns away His gracious face and favor from our lives because of obeying and following Satan’s evil, rebellious, and wicked living. Finally and most importantly, Aaron and his sons pray for the living LORD’s Name to be placed on the people and their families as their King so that He could send them His blessings from heaven. The priestly prayer emphasized the covenant Name Yahweh (the LORD). The Name LORD is also translated as Yahweh or Jehovah, and the LORD is the Almighty God, Most High God, and the living Holy Father of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob (Israel), and Christ Jesus our Savior. The Name of the LORD is an ever-present strong tower and reward against our enemies, and the righteous can run into that strong tower to find safety, strengthening, refuge, protection, and shelter in times of trouble and pain. The LORD’s abundant grace, mercy, and peace (shalom) come as His gift to everyone who loves and honors Him with faithful obedience and walks in all His goodness and does not live Satan’s evil and false lifestyle. The living LORD is our faithful Heavenly Father and Good Shepherd, who cares for and protects His faithful people, and He hears their humble and heartfelt prayers. Also, the Holy Bible encourages everyone to pray non-stop and continually to the living Sovereign LORD God with faith and thanksgiving for their daily needs, forgiveness of sins, healing of sickness, and protection from evil and harm for themselves and their families. Nestled in the Old Testament book of 1 Chronicles is Jabez's short prayer. Not much is known about Jabez other than the Holy Bible calling Jabez more honorable than his brothers and sisters. The name Jabez literally means “he will cause pain” because his mother gave birth to Jabez in pain as a curse. In his pain, Jabez cried out and called on the living Sovereign LORD God, who is the God of Israel, saying, “Oh that You would bless me indeed, and enlarge my territory, that Your hand would be with me, and that You would keep me from evil and harm so that I will be free from pain.” Jabez prayed that the living LORD would keep him safe and protected from Satan’s evil temptation and testing that causes harm, suffering, and pain. Satan and his evil workers, with unclean and dark spirits who prowl and roam the earth to hurt, harm, and destroy people with their lying ways, poisonous temptations, and selfish living. The living Sovereign LORD God heard Jabez’s heartfelt prayer and granted Jabez’s prayer request to bless him and enlarge his territory. Jabez’s small prayer teaches the importance of seeking with faith and dependence on the living Sovereign LORD God for ALL our daily needs, grace, forgiveness, and safety and protection from Satan’s evil and harm to ourselves and our families. The humble prayer of Jabez to the living LORD changed the course of his life, and the living LORD made Jabez’s life a blessing and no longer a curse with pain. The New Testament teaches that Christ Jesus is our Mediator and merciful High Priest of Heaven, and He is the source and pathway to His Holy Father’s blessings and peace from heaven. All blessings ...

  • Weapons of Victory

    Weapons of Victory
    2026/09/07
    The living God of Heaven gives and supplies, by His generous grace, faithful believers in His Son, Christ Jesus, spiritual tools and weapons as the armor of God to overcome and defeat Satan’s darkness, strongholds, and sinful living in our lives God’s people are not fighting and struggling against human beings but against the rulers, authorities, and cosmic powers governing darkness and against unclean evil spiritual forces in the heavenly realm. Sadly, darkness and sin exist in the world and will continue to exist until Christ Jesus returns to finally destroy Satan and his workers of sin and evil and bring a new heaven and new earth where sin will no longer exist in Eden Restored - Paradise. Everyone following and obeying Satan loves the darkness and hates the light of God because their deeds are evil, rebellious, and dark. Until Christ Jesus’s return, the Apostle Paul encouraged faithful believers in Christ Jesus to be strong and steadfast by relying upon the Holy Spirit’s power living within our lives and to put on the whole armor of God to stand firm in union and fellowship with Christ Jesus along with love, goodness, and truth to defeat the evil tricks and schemes of Satan. Christ Jesus our Lord has the full power of God from His Holy Father - the living God of Heaven - to destroy and defeat ALL demonic power, dominion, or forces because He is far above all principalities, powers, and dark dominion. The Apostle Paul promised believers in Christ that the same power of God lives within them through their continual faithful obedience to Christ Jesus as Lord. The Gospel writer John promised that the light of God ALWAYS defeats darkness and evil because Satan’s darkness can NEVER defeat or conquer the light of the living God of Heaven and His Son, Christ Jesus our Savior, who is the Light and Life of the World. As we walk in the light and goodness of God, we have fellowship with Christ Jesus, and the precious blood of Christ Jesus, by the power of the Holy Spirit, cleanses and frees us from all our sins and evil deeds. The first and greatest weapon to defeat sin and evil starts with faithful believers in Christ Jesus fleeing, RUNNING, and turning away from Satan’s darkness, wrongdoing, and criminal living that hurt and harm others. Faithful believers in Christ Jesus must commit to live holy and pure lives by walking in the light and goodness of God with a wholehearted commitment to ALWAYS follow and obey Christ Jesus as Lord and not participate in, watch, or listen to anything that invites Satan’s evil and darkness into our eyes, minds, and hearts. Sinfulness begins in the mind and begins with temptation. The Apostle Paul taught that Christ Jesus’s death and gracious forgiveness must lead believers to reject and turn away from Satan’s evil and dark living and instead live a new life in faithful obedience to the Resurrected Christ Jesus as Lord. Christ Jesus laid down His sinless life and poured out His precious blood to forgive and wash away our sinfulness through repentance with faithful obedience to Him. Moreover, the Holy Bible encourages believers in Christ Jesus not to associate and become yoked together with those who follow and walk in Satan’s dark deeds, lawlessness, and sin, but to stay away from those who may lead you into sin and crime. Satan and his evil workers of sin are our enemy and adversary, and they prowl around looking to destroy and harm God’s people. The living God of Heaven commands everyone to humble themselves before Him by coming close to Him with faithful obedience to Him and His holy teaching, and to resist and flee away from the dark works of Satan, and Satan and his evil workers will flee from your lives and homes. Next, the Apostle Paul encouraged God’s people to grow powerful in union with Christ Jesus and in union with Christ Jesus’ mighty strength and grace by putting on the FULL armor, weaponry, and war equipment that the living God of Heaven gives His people so they can stand against and defeat the lying and deceptive schemes of Satan and his evil workers. God’s spiritual weapons of light represent truth, goodness (righteousness), the Gospel message of peace, faith, salvation, and the Holy Word of God (the Bible), which are also good fruits and tools of the Holy Spirit of God that the living God of Heaven provides and freely gives His people through faith in His Son, Christ Jesus our Lord. The Apostle Paul encouraged believers in Christ Jesus to live and walk in the light of God, protected by the armor of faith and love, and wearing as our helmet the confidence of our salvation. Notably, the prophet Isaiah in the Old Testament predicted that the coming Christ (Messiah), as the Righteous Servant of God, would be wrapped with the armor of God - truth, righteousness, goodness, justice, and faithfulness. In the New Testament, Christ Jesus our Lord used the full armor of God - truth, righteousness, trust in God, salvation, and the Word of God...

  • Good News of a Savior

    Good News of a Savior
    2026/09/05

    The living God of Heaven made a good promise of a Savior in the Garden of Eden, who would crush evil and bring salvation through redemption and deliverance from Satan’s lies and lawlessness. The good promise of the living God of Heaven came true with Christ Jesus our Savior, who is the Second Adam and a Life-giver. The Gospel (Good News) message is that the living God of Heaven so loved the world that He sent His Son, Christ Jesus, as a holy Baby born in a manger to Joseph and Mary to save the world from their sinful nature, shame, and condemnation through faithful obedience to His Son, Christ Jesus as Lord and Savior. Christ Jesus gave and laid down His holy and sinless life as a cure for sin to deliver and save us from Satan’s darkness and sinful living and also destroy the evil works of Satan. The living God of Heaven is filled with love and compassion, and He does not want anyone to live in Satan’s spiritual darkness and death.

    Christ Jesus is the living Word of God and the Word of Life that came in human flesh (incarnate) to destroy Satan and his evil workers by the sword of the Spirit, which is the truth and power of God’s Word. Satan and his evil workers, who have unclean and dark spirits, know that Christ Jesus our Lord (Messiah Yeshua our Adonai) is the Holy One of God who came from the living God of Heaven to defeat Satan’s sin and evil in our lives so we can have deliverance, salvation, and victory over sin through Christ Jesus with faithful obedience in Him as Lord and Savior. Christ Jesus is the Passover Lamb of God and the Great I AM incarnate, and everyone must bow and acknowledge He is Lord of lords and King of kings with all power, authority, and dominion given from His Holy Father, who is the living God of Heaven.

    Here is the Good News: Christ Jesus our Lord fully obeyed His Holy Father - the living God of Heaven- by living a holy and perfect life according to the Law of God, and never followed or succumbed to Satan’s temptations and lies, which resulted in righteousness, peace, and new life for everyone who follows and obeys Christ Jesus as Lord by faith. Through faithful obedience in Christ Jesus, believers in Christ Jesus die to sin and shame and are raised to new life with our old selfish and sinful left in the grave and Christ Jesus’ life becomes our life and spirit.

    As the Word of God incarnate, Christ Jesus takes away our sins and gives EVERYONE who obeys Him and holds fast to His holy teaching by faith a new and fresh beginning with a restart button that brings a spiritual rebirth, peace, and righteousness from heaven so they can become Kingdom citizens delivered and saved from Satan’s sinfulness and darkness. Christ Jesus became sin and curses to redeem and atone for our sins and also take the wrath of His Holy Father’s punishment through His precious blood and voluntary death on Calvary’s Cross, even though He was perfect and without sin, so that we can become righteous, healed (saved), and holy as kings and priests of God. Our righteousness and Christ Jesus’s blood and suffering are known as the GREAT EXCHANGE.

    The Good News message in the four New Testament Gospels is that Christ Jesus suffered and died for our sins, was buried in the grave, and rose again from the grave on the third day, as predicted by the Old Testament Scriptures. Through Christ Jesus’s suffering, death, and resurrection, faithful believers in Him with repentance are no longer condemned and cursed, but they are reconciled and united with peace, victory, and holiness to His Holy Father and forgiven of all sin - past, present, and future. Here is more Good News: As we repent by drawing close to the living God of Heaven and His Holy Word found in Christ Jesus, then Satan and his evil workers of corruption, deceit, and falsehood will flee and depart your life and heart. Sadly, the wrath of God continues to rest upon all sinful humanity who fails to repent and reject Christ Jesus as Lord and Savior. REPENT and leave ALL Satan’s sin and darkness to find salvation in Christ Jesus as Lord and Savior. REPENT!

  • Confession of Sin

    Confession of Sin
    2026/09/05

    The Holy Bible promises that everyone - saint and sinner - who repents, which means turning away from sinful living, and humbly confesses their sins and wickedness to the living God of Heaven will be forgiven by Him. Only through confession and repentance of our sins to the living God of Heaven will one find His mercy, restoration, and healing. The loving God of Heaven is forever faithful, gracious, and merciful to forgive ALL our sins and cleanse us from Satan’s evil and unrighteousness, with a return to joy and peace when we confess our sins and repent by turning and seeking Him and His Son Christ Jesus with faithfulness and humility. The living God of Heaven sent His Son Christ Jesus to earth to call EVERYONE to repentance from sinful living to receive salvation. Christ Jesus our Lord declares that the angels of heaven rejoice every time a sinner repents and turns to the living God of Heaven.

    The Holy Bible teaches that our Heavenly Father loves us and is ready to forgive sins and wash away our shortcomings and shame, bringing salvation and joy from heaven when we humble ourselves and repent. However, humble repentance and confession lead to sorrow for sinful living, a lifestyle change, and good fruit, which leads to true salvation and healing. Through confession and repentance, the living God of Heaven forgives and frees us from the power of Satan’s sin and death so we can lead a life of holiness, healing, and victory with love for His glory and honor.

    Christ Jesus our Lord taught His disciples to pray to His Holy Father and ask for forgiveness of sins from heaven in our daily prayers. Blessed is everyone whose sins and transgressions are forgiven by the living God of Heaven because they repent and turn from their sins, deceit, and dark deeds. The Holy Bible promises that when we confess our sins and rebellion to the living God of Heaven and stop trying to hide our guilt and shame, we will find joy, peace, healing, and forgiveness from heaven. King David acknowledged that sin offends the living God of Heaven and also hurts oneself and others. The living God of Heaven and His Son, Christ Jesus, give His strength and peace of mind and heart from heaven by the Holy Spirit of God as we repent and keep our focus and hearts upon the living God with love and faithful obedience.

    Walking in a sinful lifestyle that follows and obeys Satan’s deeds of darkness leads to becoming slaves to Satan and also reaping a harvest of depression, despair, and death. Sinful and dark living leads to dire and hurtful consequences. Christ Jesus, our Lord, warns everyone that they will die and perish in their sins unless they repent and turn to His Holy Father with love and faithful obedience. The living God of Heaven, as a Good Father, wants EVERYONE to repent, and He disciplines, corrects, and punishes everyone who knowingly sins because He loves them and does not want His children to live a life of sins and selfishness in disobedience to Him and His holy ways of love, forgiveness, and holiness.

    Great of the faithfulness of the living God of Heaven from age to age, who is filled with tender mercy, love, and grace to offer His forgiveness and favor (grace) through wholehearted repentance and humble confession of sins and wrongdoing. Blessed is everyone who sins and transgressions are forgiven and covered by the living God of Heaven. The living God of Heaven pardons, heals, and forgives our sins, crimes, and transgressions because He does not stay angry forever but He delights to show His everlasting mercy and compassion for everyone - saint and sinner - who humbly confesses their sins and turns with repentance to Him. Let everyone REPENT and turn with love, fear, and obedience to the living God of Heaven with our whole hearts, souls, bodies, and minds. God REALLY loves us, and He wants to share His love and grace with you!

  • What Is Sin

    What Is Sin
    2026/09/05

    The Holy Bible teaches what sin and sinful are in the eyes of the living God of Heaven. The true definition of sin is lawlessness, wrongdoing, idolatry (worshipping other gods), falsehood, and rebellion against the living God of Heaven and His holy commands, which leads to slavery to darkness, depression, disease, and eventually death. Satan and his evil workers of sin operate in the dominion of darkness, crimes, confusion, disorder, and lawlessness because Satan is a criminal, thief, liar, deceiver, and murderer. Everyone who follows Satan’s dark and evil way of life has no peace or rest because the Holy Bible promises that there is no rest, peace, or stability for the wicked evildoer. Following Satan’s sinful, selfish, and criminal living alienates and separates us from the living God of Heaven and His abundant goodness and blessings. Moreover, living a life of disobedience, sinfulness, and rebellion against the living God of Heaven and His demands for holiness and purity leads to suffering, sickness, and despair. Examples of sin and sinfulness are found throughout the Holy Scriptures, including the Israelites’ rebellion and unfaithfulness toward the living God of Heaven, which led to their forty (40) years of wilderness wandering and eventually their deaths. Sin crouches at the door of everyone’s hearts, but the living God of Heaven calls everyone to turn away from and reject Satan’s sinful living, crimes, and wrongdoing. The living God of Heaven (Adonai) originally defined what is sinful (also known as vices) in the Old Testament at Mount Sinai by giving the eternal covenant, which included the Ten Commandments and then the Holiness Code given in the book of Leviticus. These moral teachings of the living God of Heaven, given at Mount Sinai, are good and foundational to both Old Testament and New Testament teaching on godly and holy living with wisdom because they encourage everyone to shun Satan's evil living and obey the living God of Heaven. The Holy Bible’s teachings on sin and sinful living that lead to separation from the living God and death originated in the Old Testament at Mount Sinai, continued to be taught by Joshua and then the holy prophets and servants of God in the Old Testament, and continue today. From the Old Testament into the New Testament, the Holy Bible teaches that the living God of Heaven condemns and punishes such dark and selfish deeds of idolatry, rebellion against one’s parents, stealing property and land, hurting the blind, perverting justice, mistreating aliens (foreigners), hurting orphans and widows, adultery and other sexual sins, murder, bribery, corruption, dishonesty (lies), and attacking others. A listing of sins (vices) noted in the New Testament that harm, hurt, and defile our minds, souls, and bodies that separates us from living God and His gracious blessings are found at Matthew 15:18-20; Mark 7:21-22; Romans 1:28-32; Romans 13:13; 1 Corinthians 5:10-11; 1 Corinthians 6:9-10; 2 Corinthians 12:20-21; Galatians 5:19-21; Ephesians 4:31; Ephesians 5:3-5; Colossians 3:5, 8; 1 Timothy 1:8-10; 2 Timothy 3:2-5; 1 Peter 4:3-4; Revelation 21:7-8; Revelation 22:15. REPENT and leave ALL Satan’s sin and darkness!

    Jesus and Forgiveness
    2026/08/16

    The message of God’s love and grace runs throughout the Holy Bible because God is filled with abundant love, faithfulness, and forgiveness. The living God of Heaven revealed His love and grace for the world and humanity by sending His Son, Christ Jesus, to save the world.

    The living God of Heaven made a good promise of a Savior in the Garden of Eden who would crush evil and bring salvation with redemption and deliverance from Satan’s darkness and lies, and that promise came with Christ Jesus, our Savior, who is the Second Adam and a Life-giver. Christ Jesus is the living Word of God that came in human flesh (incarnate) to destroy Satan and his evil workers by the sword of the Spirit, which is the truth and power of God’s Word. Satan and his evil workers, who have unclean spirits, know that Christ Jesus our Lord (Messiah Yeshua our Adonai) is the Holy One of God who came from the living God of Heaven to defeat Satan’s darkness and bring deliverance and salvation.

    As the Word of God incarnate, Christ Jesus takes away our sins, and He gives EVERYONE who repents and obeys Him and His teaching by faith a new beginning with a restart button that brings a renewed spiritual rebirth, peace, and righteousness from heaven so they can be Kingdom citizens delivered and saved from Satan’s sinfulness and darkness.

Let EVERYONE REPENT and follow Christ Jesus as Lord and find deliverance and forgiveness. The living God of Heaven promises there is no condemnation, but only forgiveness for those who obey and follow His Son, Christ Jesus as Lord!

  • New Testament Teachings on Obedience and Sacrifices

    New Testament Teachings on Obedience and Sacrifices
    2026/08/08
    New Testament Teaching on Obedience and Sacrifices In the New Testament, Christ Jesus our Lord affirmed and continued His Holy Father’s teachings from the Old Testament. Christ Jesus proclaimed that His Holy Father, who is the living God of Heaven, wants our faithful obedience and love to Him from our pure hearts and doing His will with love, fairness, and mercy towards others, particularly the helpless, poor, and widows, more than any offerings, sacrifices, fasts, feasts, and religious rituals. Significantly, Christ Jesus’ prayers and His teachings on the Sermon on the Mount, His Sermon on the Plain (Plateau), and throughout the New Testament were teaching His disciples to live like Kingdom citizens in the world with the good fruits of love and peace and to lead everyone to worship and obey the Covenant King - the living God of Heaven. Christ Jesus taught that everyone who follows and obeys His Holy Father and His commands also does the will of God and becomes His fellow brother and sister inside the Kingdom of God. Moreover, Christ Jesus our Lord taught that our faithful obedience to Him and His Holy Father’s commands and teachings helps us establish a strong and firm foundation (rock) with God that weathers the storms and troubles of life. Here is the Good News: Christ Jesus taught His disciples that they can always pray and ask His Holy Father for help with everything and anything, including obeying His Holy Father’s commands and receiving divine wisdom. Christ Jesus promised that His Holy Father blesses His disciples with every good gift, including the good gift of the Holy Spirit of God to empower, teach, and help them live holy and pure lives as He and His Holy Father command. Furthermore, Christ Jesus our Lord promises to make and declare believers in Him holy (sanctified) and righteous through repentance with faithful obedience to Him and His teaching. Christ Jesus is God with us, and He promises to be forever present with His disciples so that they are never alone and helpless. Everything is possible for those who trust and believe by faith in Christ Jesus as Lord. This is not to say that offerings, tithes, sacrifices, fasting, ceremonies, various feasts, and rituals are not important to the living God of Heaven because He first created them in the Old Testament. However, the living God of Heaven makes the sacrifices and offerings for sins given in the Old Testament obsolete and set aside because He sent His Son Christ Jesus by His grace to serve as the final ransom, sacrifice, and payment to cleanse and atone for sin (past, present, and future) as the Passover Lamb of God and to provide salvation and redemption to the world when Christ Jesus died and freely gave His life on Calvary’s Cross. Christ Jesus’s perfect life and sinless blood now purifies and cleanses us from ALL sin, darkness, and shame through repentance (turning from Satan’s evil and selfish living) and faithful obedience to Christ Jesus as Lord and Savior. Christ Jesus (Messiah Yeshua) is our forever Lord and Savior. The Apostle Paul picks up on the Old Testament theme of sacrifices when he encourages believers of Christ Jesus to offer their lives and bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to the living God of Heaven as our true and proper worship and service in view of God’s tender mercy and blessings given through His Son, Christ Jesus. In his teaching, the Apostle Paul taught believers in Christ Jesus not to provide merely external rituals and ceremonies to the living God of Heaven, but to live good, loving, and holy lives with morality and integrity, wholeheartedly devoted in worship and obedient service by faith to the living God of Heaven. Our grateful worship and praise to the living God of Heaven with thanksgiving and good works for Him and His glory are our “sacrifices” and “offerings” that please Him. Importantly, the living God of Heaven, along with His Son, Christ Jesus our Lord, and the holy prophet, taught that various offerings, tithes, sacrifices, ceremonies, fasting, and feasts are worthless without first repentance and a right heart relationship of loving obedience and faithfulness towards the living God of Heaven, and love with mercy, forgiveness, and goodness toward others. No sacrifice, offering, fasting, ceremonies, rituals, and feasts are significant for forgiveness or salvation without first a repentant and humble heart to the living God of Heaven that turns from selfish (sinful) living and also loving-kindness with forgiveness and kindness towards others. The living Sovereign LORD God of heaven and earth revealed His moral and ethical character for everyone to follow and obey at Mount Sinai with His eternal covenant, which included the Ten Commandments in the Old Testament. Christ Jesus our Lord continued His Holy Father’s moral and ethical teaching on the Sermon on the Mount and His Sermon on the Plain (Plateus) in the New Testament for ...

    Holy and Righteous Living
    2026/08/08

    Holy and Righteous Living

    Holy and righteous living are woven throughout the Holy Bible storyline. From the Old Testament into the New Testament, the living God of Heaven has called and commanded His people to live and follow His holy ways with good fruits of love, truth, mercy, forgiveness, and peace towards one another. The living God of Heaven is described as holy, righteous, and good because holiness and goodness are God’s very nature, name, and character. Christ Jesus taught His disciples that when praying to His Father, they should always keep His Father’s name holy (hallowed) with respect and honor. The ways and thoughts of the living God of Heaven are always holy, good, and faithful. Following Satan’s sinful and wicked living separates one from God’s goodness and holiness, leading to death. Notably, the book of Revelation teaches that those who will be invited to the joyous wedding banquet of Jesus the Lamb in the new heavens and earth will be God’s holy people (the bride of Christ) wearing the fine linen, bright and clean of the righteous and good deeds.

    The living God of Heaven commanded all people to be wholeheartedly and totally consecrated as holy, which means dedicated and set apart with obedience to Him as their LORD and King, and their holiness and faithfulness were to be expressed in their daily lives with a harvest of good deeds, good actions, and good fruits which lead to divine blessings and healing. In other words, the living God of Heaven stated in Genesis and throughout the Holy Bible that He wants our wholehearted love, truth, faithfulness, mercy, humility, obedience, and goodness toward Him and others more than our rituals, fasts, offerings, ceremonies, and sacrifices. The living God of Heaven wants a heart of faithfulness and obedience to Him that is fully committed and faithful as our King and LORD!

    Heroes of the Faith

    The heroes of the Holy Bible like Abraham, Noah, Moses, Joshua, and Samuel understood the importance of wholehearted faithfulness and obedience to the living God of Heaven’s commands, and they instructed everyone to have a heart of love, obedience, and commitment to the living God of Heaven and His holy commands as instructed in the Holy Scriptures. Significantly, King David from the Old Testament understood that the key to a right relationship and closeness with the living God of Heaven was not through sacrifices, ceremonies, offerings, and rituals but through honor and loving obedience to God and His commands from a humble, dependent, and devoted heart by faith. King David’s heart was always faithful and obedient to the living God of Heaven, and he obeyed the commands and ways of the living God of Heaven, except in the shameful affair concerning Uriah and his wife Bathsheba, where he later repented for his sins against God. Significantly, King David had a humble thirst and desire for righteousness and knowing the ways of God, and he encouraged everyone to always trust in the LORD. Because of King David’s heart of obedience and faithfulness, the living God of Heaven blessed King David with an eternal kingdom and blessings, which came through King David’s descendant, Christ Jesus our Lord. Notably, Christ Jesus our Lord, like King David, wholeheartedly followed the ways and commands of the living God of Heaven, and He never sinned and was perfect in all His ways, and He calls everyone to follow His example for holy living.

    REPENT! Let EVERYONE repent and come with a surrendered and humble heart to the living God of Heaven and His Son Christ Jesus our Lord and find blessings and oneness with the God of Heaven because this is what God wants. The living God of Heaven wants everyone to embrace and love Him and His Son Christ Jesus from our whole hearts with faithful obedience and also love one another with forgiveness and kindness more than any rituals. Even more, Christ Jesus wants everyone to sin no more and lead holy and good lives for His Holy Father’s glory and honor. Jesus is Lord!

    Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear and honor God and keep His commandments, for this is humankind’s all and duty. For God will bring every work and deed into judgment, including every secret thing, whether good or evil. Ecclesiastes 12:13-14.
