Shabbat Shalom from Kent, London.  

Monday to Maundy Thursday....

John 17:12-While I was with them, I protected and preserved them by Your name, the name You gave Me. Not one of them has been lost, except the son of destruction, so that the Scripture would be fulfilled.

Jesus stood before Pilate, Herod and The Crowd Chooses Barabbas led to the Crucifixion

It's Friday, but Sunday is coming

... and darkness came over all the land until the ninth hour. The sun was darkened,l and the veil of the temple was torn down the middle. Then Jesus called out in a loud voice, “Father, into Your hands I commit My Spirit.” And when He had said this, He breathed His last. Lk 23:44-46

At that moment the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth quaked and the rocks were split. The tombs broke open, and the bodies of many saints who had fallen asleep were raised..... The guards were terrified and said, “Truly this was the Son of God.” Mt 27:51-54

The Sunday is coming

Suddenly there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, rolled away the stone, and sat on it. His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow. The guards trembled in fear of him and became like dead men. But the angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; He has risen, just as He said! Come, see the place where He lay. Then go quickly and tell His disciples, ‘He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee.  Mt 28:2-7

He has risen, just as He said!

Angel become tour guide to show the play where He lay.

He has risen from the dead. God raised Him from the dead, releasing Him from the agony of death, because it was impossible for Him to be held in its clutches. Acts 2:24

Thanks be to God, who gives us the victory [as conquerors] through our Lord Jesus Christ. I Co 15:57

God Blesses Israel and Us. 🙏🙏🙏

But Jesus loudly declared, “The one who believes and trusts in Me does not believe only in Me but also believes in Him who sent Me.John 12:44 AMP

God always wanted us to be part of the action, not just spectators. He made us to reflect His image — His presence, His love, His plans — into the world. That's why He Himself came into the world as a human being. And that's why Jesus called His disciples and the others. They weren't ready. They weren't expecting it. But that's how Jesus worked then, and that's how He works to this day. Perhaps that's why we are reading Jn 12:44 right now. 

John introduced here Jesus's whole testimony. That's nothing but, to Believe Him as Lord and Saviour, His ensuring eternal life with Him and The life of fullness on the earth and Peace that passes all our understanding to us and to others through us. We are Not spectators in the God's Game plan, but we are Players. 

Corrie ten Boom wisely said, “Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God.” Its the Truth, is it not? 

God Blesses Israel and Us. 🙏🙏🙏

David became greater and greater, for the Lord , the God of hosts armies, was with him. 2 Samuel 5:10 AMP

The Secret is that the God was with him. 

The outcome is that he became greater, enlarged territory, fame, blessed, favoured, respected, feared by enemies and peaceful. 

David’s life shows that one’s social background is not important in God’s eyes. Instead, God looks at the heart (1 Samuel 16:7). “Thus says the Lord of hosts, I took you from the pasture, from following the sheep, that you should be prince over My people Israel” (2 Samuel 7:8).

God Chosen and kept a time table to David. David aligned to the Master's agenda. 

During Selection process, behind the scenes days, chased by enemies or relatives, reigning the Israelites and focusing on reconciliation steps (from errors or deliberate mistakes), we clearly observe that David trusted God and God was with him.

The Lord God would fulfil His promises as He did to David to those who put their trust and believe that He would do unexpected, unnatural and impossible things. Amen. 

God Blesses Israel and Us. 🙏🙏🙏

Write our testimonial

There are also many other signs attesting miracles that Jesus performed in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book;  but these have been written so that you may believe with a deep, abiding trust that Jesus is the Christ the Messiah, the Anointed, the Son of God; and that by believing and trusting in and relying on Him you may have life in His Name.John 20:30‭-‬31 AMP

This is an incredible encouragement mentioned by John that many more miracles and signs, did not attest or record and it will be upto us and believers to make a difference. I suppose that the world itself could not contain the books that would be written. (Ref John 21:25) 

Peter said, be ready to explain answer concerning Your Faith to the people who is asking, but be gentle. (Ref 1Pt 3:15) 

And Paul replied to Festus/ Asked King Agrippa  , “Whether short or long, I would to God that not only you but also all who hear me this day might become such as I am—except for these chains.” Acts 26:29.

In any forms or capacity we can (must) help others or support them by sharing the unshakeable Faith, to bring Glory to the Lord Jesus Christ. 

May the Lord enable us to write our episodes of salvation journey and rely on Him to write many more in the coming days and weeks. 

God Blesses Israel and Us. 🙏🙏🙏

Go Deeper

The same Lake (Gennesaret) that Peter spent the entire night without catching any fish, is the same Lake where they caught thousands of fish in the morning. Jn21. 

The issue is when Jesus came in the morning and said 'Do you have any fish?' and they said no,  He did not advise them to change the Lake. instead He advised them to cast the nets deeper and Peter did exactly as it was told by our Master of breakthroughs aka Baal-perazim.  (2Sam 5:20,1Ch 14:11, Is28:21) 

When our life is going the opposite direction, it's not about changing our place or giving up.  Its all about casting our Faith deep in God, casting our Fellowship with Jesus deep in believing that God will provide, heal, restore, uplift, deliver, revive, bless and favour. 

May the Lord give us the Grace to go deeper. Father God, But if You say so, I’ll let down the nets.’.. In Jesus Name, Amen. 

God Blesses Israel and Us. 🙏🙏🙏

Boldness

Boldness Reference: Heb 4:12-16 We do not have to tiptoe toward God. We can always enter His presence—not only when in need, full, or facing challenges. His Word pierces soul and spirit, joints and marrow. He knows our thoughts and intentions before we ask or think. So the author of Hebrews urges us: boldly approach the throne of Grace. Receive daily bread, seasonal help, mercies, and Grace He has already arranged. In time of need, at the right time, He will help us. As Peter assured, submit obediently in His hand. Confidence: Not because the week went well. Not because your prayers feel mature. Because the curtain tore. Confidence isn't arrogance. It's knowing God left the door open.  The barrier didn't get thin—it split wide open. The King on the throne is also our High Priest. He knows our weakness from the inside. We are not interrupting Him. We have been invited. Gentle invitation. Urgent invitation. If Grace finds us and fills the room, what happens to the pressure to...

The Lifestyle of David - Faith, Trust and Prayer

The Lifestyle of David - Faith, Trust and Prayer Reference - 1 Sam 17, Ps 59 and 2 Sam 15 David was known as a man after God’s own heart, as witnessed by God Himself. The Bible reveals many reasons for this, but one of the most notable is his unwavering faith—trusting God completely and placing all his hope in the One who is more than able to guide him. I would like to discuss three scenarios and observe his responses to inspire our faith and draw us closer to Him. 1) When the Israelite army fled from Goliath, David stood his ground, boldly declaring the giant’s defeat before the fight even began, trusting entirely in the Name of the Lord rather than physical weapons. With a single stone, David struck Goliath down, vindicated God’s Name, routed the Philistine army, and proved to all that the battle belongs to the Lord. He proclaimed victory before the clash, relying not on spear, sword, or javelin, but on the Lord’s power. David said, in 1 Sam 17:45-47, “You come against me with sword,...

Prayer is tactical, transactional and transformative practice in the Bible.

Yes, prayer in the Bible is indeed **tactical**, **transactional**, and **transformative**. Each of these aspects highlights a different dimension of prayer, showing its depth and power in the life of a believer. Let’s explore these three dimensions with biblical examples and insights: --- ### **1. Prayer is Tactical** Prayer is a **spiritual weapon** and a strategic tool in the believer’s life. It is used to engage in spiritual warfare, seek God’s guidance, and advance His kingdom. - **Biblical Example**: **Ephesians 6:18**     Paul instructs believers to "pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests." This is part of the "armor of God," showing that prayer is a tactical weapon in spiritual battles.    - **Application**:     Prayer is not passive; it is an active, intentional practice to combat evil, break strongholds, and bring God’s will to earth. It is a way to align ourselves with God’s strategies and overcome th...
