We are God's Witness

Shabbat Shalom from Kent, London. 

*We are God's Witness*

Isaiah 43:10 & 1 AMP - 

[10] “You are My witnesses,” declares the Lord, “And My servant whom I have chosen, That you may know and believe Me And understand that I am He. Before Me there was no God formed, And there will be none after Me. 
[1] But now, this is what the Lord, your Creator says, O Jacob, And He who formed you, O Israel, “Do not fear, for I have redeemed you [from captivity]; I have called you by name; you are Mine!

Nothing in the world will so effectively help us to survive as the knowledge that there is a purpose to our life. He who has a ‘why’ to live for, can bear almost any ‘how.’ 
• Paul spent all but 7 years of his ministry in prison. 
• Moses waited 40 years before getting back to track into God's ministry. 
• David waited 20 years to crown as the King after the Anointing.  
• Abrahan waited for 25 years to receive his promised son Issac. 
• Jesus waited 30 years to minister publically as per the God's will. 

What gave each of them the stamina to overcome their circumstances? Purpose! Each of them had a dream, fuelled by a fire within that could not be extinguished. They had a ‘why’ that was bigger than every ‘how’.

Peace be upon The State of Israel and Us. Shalom. 🙏
Have a good weekend. In His Grip..

Root verb: τηρέω (tēreō) — not the more common Greek word for "obey" (peithomai/hypakouō, meaning to submit to authority), but a word that literally means "to guard," "to watch over," "to keep watch". It's the word used for a guard keeping watch at a post, or someone safeguarding a treasure. Love is defined by obedience, not sentiment. Jesus doesn't say "if you love me, feel devoted to me" — he ties love to concrete action. In John's Gospel, love is verifiable; it shows up in behaviour, not just emotion. The Greek verb for "keep" (tērēsete) is future tense and follows a conditional — love isn't presented as a prerequisite for a transaction ("obey...
