The Name of Jesus

Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name Philippians 2:9

Is the name Jesus pagan? There are some who are claiming the name Jesus is inaccurate, even some that go as far to say the name Jesus is a pagan variation of the name Zeus.  I’m here to tell you this is absolutely false and will show you how the name Jesus came about.

The Hebrew name of our Messiah is Yeshua (means Yahweh is Salvation)  when you translate that name directly to English it becomes Joshua. However, remember the New Testament was written in Greek, so when you translate Yeshua to Greek it becomes Lesous. When you translate Greek Lesous to English it becomes Jesus, If you want to prove this for yourself use Google translator

Is it wrong to call on the name of Jesus? Absolutely not, God never commanded us to only speak one language. If you call on the name of Jesus, he will hear you. However out of respect it doesn’t hurt to learn his Hebrew name and address him by it. When you say the name of Yeshua you are actually given praise to God (Yahweh) also because its in his name

So don’t be afraid to use the name Jesus or Yeshua, because this is the name above all names that brought salvation to the world in Jesus Name Amen

Love of God

Through love and faithfulness sin is atoned for; through the fear of the LORD (Yahweh) evil is avoided. Proverbs 16:6

God is Love (1 John 4:8) we heard that many times before. But God has demonstrated his love for us because even though we were still sinners Christ died for us (Romans 5:8) Jesus (Yeshua) became the atoning sacrifice for our sins (1 John 2:2) so through our Heavenly Fathers love and our faith in Christ we can be redeemed.

But if we listen to the commandments of God (Yahweh) we can avoid evil. For all good things come from God , Father of the Heavenly Lights (James 1:17) God doesn’t know evil, for all evil comes from the wicked one Satan. The reason Jesus (Yeshua) came was to destroy the works of Satan (1 John 3:8) and free us from his slavery

When we think about “Fear of God” its not a hateful fear, because The Spirit of God does not make us fear (2 Timothy 1:7). It’s a respectful fear, just as a child to a parent. Yahweh has promised if we listen to his commands, we will live many years (Proverbs 4:10) If we accept Jesus (Yeshua) as our Lord and Savior, we can have eternal life in Gods Kingdom Amen

Unclean

The demons begged Jesus, “Send us among the pigs; allow us to go into them.” He gave them permission, and the impure spirits came out and went into the pigs. The herd, about two thousand in number, rushed down the steep bank into the lake and were drowned. Mark 5-12-13

Why did Jesus allow the demons to enter the herd of pigs? What can we learn from this story?

We need to remember Pigs were considered unclean animals. (Deuteronomy 14:8) therefore demons being allowed to enter into the pigs are symbolic of anyone who is spiritually unclean. If we live by the Spirit we should walk by the Spirit (Galatians 5:25) we will be known by the fruit we bear  When you allow yourself to follow the ways of Satan, and fall into his traps of sin, you become spiritually unclean and allow yourself to be taken under his control. Remember Satan has one objective to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10) so be careful what and who you are following.

Just like the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden, Satan will make sin look innocent, then seduce you with its temptation. But there are consequence for this sin and the wages are death. (Romans 6:23) Once you open the door for demons and evil to enter your life, the end result is the same as this herd of pigs. As the herd of pigs went straight into the abyss to there death.

But the good news is we have a savior, our Messiah Yeshua (Jesus Christ) all power and authority has been granted to him by God (Matthew 28:18) and the demons tremble at his very name (Jame 2:19) If your lost and need to be saved, everyone call upon Yahweh shall be saved (Romans 10:13) in Jesus Name Amen

Treasured Possesion

For you are a people holy to the LORD your God. The LORD your God has chosen you out of all the peoples on the face of the earth to be his people, his treasured possession. Deuteronomy 7:6

When we read this scripture how God spoke to the Jewish people and set them apart to be his treasured possession, it’s exciting to know now that by the blood of Christ, we are now in this covenant also.

Through Christ Jesus you are all Children of God through faith (Galatians 3:26) The same love and promises that were given to the Jewish people are now also given to us the Gentiles, through Jesus.

The  Spirit you received  brought about your adoption to sonship, and by his we cry “Abba Father” (Romans 8:15)  That’s why nobody gets to the Father except thought The Son, but by the Son we can be a Child of The Most High God.

For God so loved the world that he  gave his only Begotten Son, for whoever believes in him may not perish but have eternal life ( John 3:16) Note God said anyone who accepts Jesus as there Lord and Savior, not just the Jews but the Gentiles also.

So rejoice for we have been set free by the Son, we have been set apart by our Heavenly Father, his treasured possession in Jesus Name Amen

Like A Dove

And the Holy Spirit descended on him in bodily form like a dove. And a voice came from heaven: “You are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased.” Luke 3:22

Why did the Holy Spirit descend in the form of a dove? Was this a prophetic sign from God?

In Hebrew the meaning of the name Jonah is Dove. There was a reason the Spirit came down in the form of a dove, it was a prophetic sign from our Heavenly Father about the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of a huge fish, so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth Matthew 12:40

Jesus prophesied about this later also in his ministry. He mentions Jonah who spent 3 days and 3 nights in the belly of the whale. Jesus was prophesying about his death and spending 3 days and 3 nights in the heart of The Earth. Just as Jonah rised out of the whale after 3 days and saved Nineveh, Jesus rose from the grave and conquered death and sin.

Just as the dove left Noahs Ark and returned to send the message that the world has been saved (Genesis 8:11) Jesus has saved the world from our sins, look for the signs from our Heavenly Father in Jesus Name Amen

Find Jesus

I walk in the way of righteousness, along the paths of justice, bestowing a rich inheritance on those who love me and making their treasuries full. Proverbs 8:20-21

Jesus is the Truth, Life, and The Way nobody comes to The Father without going through him. He came to make the crooked paths straight, to give hope to the hopeless. If you love him you will keep his commandments and inherit eternal life.

The LORD brought me forth as the first of his works, before his deeds of old; I was formed long ages ago, at the very beginning, when the world came to be. Proverbs 8:22-23

Jesus is the image of the invisible God , the firstborn over all creation. In the beginning was The Word, who is the beginning and the end

Blessed are those who listen to me, watching daily at my doors, waiting at my doorway. Proverbs 8:34

Jesus opened the eyes of the blind, he is the gatekeeper. Knock on the door and he will answer. But narrow is the way to righteousness. For many are called but few are chosen

For those who find me find life and receive favor from the LORD. Proverbs 8:35

Anyone who calls upon the name of Jesus, shall be saved. He is the living water, the bread of life. Follow him and thirst and hunger no more. For Jesus is Gods son, in whom he is well pleased. Believe in him and receive favor in Jesus Name Amen

The Blessed Life

So that you, your children and their children after them may fear the LORD your God as long as you live by keeping all his decrees and commands that I give you, and so that you may enjoy long life. Deuteronomy 6:2

What was the purpose of Gods Law? Is God just trying to control us? When we talk about the Law of God and sin, people quickly become resistant. Why? Because everyone feels like God is trying to control them or take away their pleasure. But Gods commands are just as he says “So we may enjoy a long life”. As we know the wages of sin are death, but those who seek life will follow God.

Many say they love God but don’t follow any of his commands, as Jesus said if you love him you will keep his commandments (John 14:15) Does an unruly child show love to a parent by disobedience? No, we train up a child in the way they should go so they will not depart from it (Proverbs 22:6) It’s the same with our Heavenly Father, he wants us to live a prosperous and happy life, but disobedience and sin will only lead to sorrow and destruction

God is Love (1 John 4:8) not a dictator, even the angels in Heaven have free will, otherwise Lucifer would have never rebelled (Isaiah 14:12) But there are consequences for all our actions, one day we will be held accountable for all our actions. (Matthew 12:36) Your destiny can be determined by You, for everyone who calls upon The Lord shall be saved in Jesus Name Amen

Jesus is The Truth

Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free John 8:32

What is Truth? Jesus is The Truth, The Life, and The Way, in a world of deception he is the only way to finding truth. Satan is a liar, there is no truth in him, (John 8:44) He has deceived the whole world. Don’t be misled by his lies and deception, since the beginning of creation, his plan is to destroy Gods children.

But the truth shall set you free, The name Jesus (Yeshua) means Gods salvation, for God so loved the world that he sent his only begotten son to save the world (John 3:16) Put you trust into Jesus, and he shall set you free. Free from the bondages of Satan, that hold the whole world captive by lies and deception

Ask and it will be give to you, seek and you will find, knock and the door will be opened (Matthew 7:7) don’t stop seeking God. If you keep searching for the truth, it will be revealed to you. The door will be opened to you, for everyone who calls upon the name of The Lord will be saved (Romans 10:13)

God is a spirit and we must worship him in spirt and truth (John 4:24) Are you worshipping our Heavenly Father in Truth? How do we know truth? Only through his beloved Son in Jesus Name Amen

King of Kings

Hopes placed in mortals die with them; all the promise of their power comes to nothing. Proverbs 11:7

Are you placing your hope in this year’s presidential election? Every election the candidates like to give us inspiring speeches about how they are going to resolve all the nations’ problems. And for a time, you might actually buy into these hopes. But eventually reality sets in and we find out the candidates are just telling you what you want to hear. Most of them become disgraced with corruption and unmoral lifestyles. But we continue to fall for these mortals because our hope is misplaced.

We already have a Savior; we have a Messiah, Jesus Christ. He lived a sinless and blameless life (1 Peter 2:22). All the nations and governments rest on his shoulders.(Isaiah 9:6) If you want to see a change in your life, accept Jesus as your Lord, and you will see true transformation. But if we continue to put our hopes in mortals, then you will continually be let down and disappointed.

Our Kingdom is not of this world, yet,(John 18:36) however we live in this nation today so we should continue to be the Salt and Light (Matthew 5) we were called to be. Can voting make a difference? Absolutely, for nations and governments were established by God.(Romans 13:1) We can vote for leaders who will be our voice on issues that count. But don’t blindly put all your hopes and dreams in mortals, for they will continue to fail you. Put your faith and trust in our King of Kings and Lord of Lords, Jesus, the almighty Son of God, Amen

Choose Life

The wages of the righteous is life, but the earnings of the wicked are sin and death. Proverbs 10:16

What wages are you earning? Just as with our jobs we earn wages, the same is with life. The wages we earn are based on the fruit we produce. If we, by the blood of Christ, live a righteous life, then we will get the wages of eternal life. But if we live a life of evil and sin, the wages are death (Romans 6:23)

Jesus taught us that every good tree bears good fruit, and bad trees bear bad fruit (Matthew 7:17) These are the wages of your spirituality. If you truly are a disciple of Christ, then the evidence will show in your lifestyle. And as Jesus said “Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire” (Matthew 7:19) So the question is what fruit are we producing? What are the wages we are earning?

If we live by the Spirit, we must walk by the Spirit (Galatians 5:25) You can’t walk with God and hold hands with the devil. The true Christian will be made know by their wages and fruit. For God will repay everyone according to their deeds (Romans 2:6) Choose Life, choose Jesus Christ Amen
