Faith, Without Works, Is Dead

^“know that a man is not justified by the works of the law but by faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law; for by the works of the law, no flesh shall be justified.

“But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is Christ therefore a minister of sin? Certainly not! For if I build again those things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor. For I through the law died to the law that I might live to God.  I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. I do not set aside the grace of God; for if righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died in vain.” Galatians 2:16-21(NKJV)

 What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him? If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food,  and one of you says to them, “Depart in peace, be warmed and filled,” but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit?  Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.

 But someone will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works. You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe—and tremble! But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead?  Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar? Do you see that faith was working together with his works, and by works faith was made perfect? … “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.” And he was called the friend of God. You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only.

 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also. James 2 (NKJ)

Suddenly, a fierce storm struck.., with waves breaking into the boat…Jesus…sleeping. They…woke him up, shouting, “Lord, save us! We’re going to drown!” Jesus said, “Why are you afraid?… Then He got up and rebuked the wind and waves, and suddenly there was a great calm. Matthew 8:24-26

Love in Action & Deed

^“For this is the message that you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another,  not as Cain who was of the wicked one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his works were evil and his brother’s righteous.

 Do not marvel, my brethren, if the world hates you. We know that we have passed from death to life because we love the brethren. He who does not love his brother abides in death. Whoever hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.

 By this, we know love, because He laid down His life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. But whoever has this world’s goods, and sees his brother in need, and shuts up his heart from him, how does the love of God abide in him?

 My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth. And by this, we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before Him. For if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart and knows all things. Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence toward God. And whatever we ask we receive from Him because we keep His commandments and do those things that are pleasing in His sight. And this is His commandment: that we should believe in the name of His Son Jesus Christ and love one another, as He gave us commandment” 1 John 3:11-23 (NKJV)

Anyone can find the Dirt, Be the one to Find the Good!

Morning Line: Refining Fire

Jesus Praying in the Garden of Gethsemane: Then Jesus went with them to a place called Gethsemane; and he said to his disciples, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.” He took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee and began to be grieved and agitated. Then he said to them, “I am deeply grieved, even to death; remain here, and stay awake with me.” And going a little farther, he threw himself on the ground and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from me; yet not what I want but what you want.”

Then he came to the disciples and found them sleeping, and he said to Peter,

“So, could you not stay awake with me one hour?  Stay awake and pray that you may not come into the time of trial; the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

Again he went away for the second time and prayed, “My Father, if this cannot pass unless I drink it, your will be done.”

 Then he came to the disciples and said to them…See, the hour is at hand, and the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. Get up, let us be going. See, my betrayer is at hand.” Matthew 26:36-46 (NRSVCE)

Morning Line: Hang-on

It may look like you are at the end of your rope but don’t give up. What may look like the end can be the new beginning of Jesus Christ’s supernatural flowing power in your life. Step back and take a breath. Trusting by faith is releasing the grace of your loving Father God into the situation for restoration and a new beginning.

Trust Him you are coved and meant to be more than a conqueror more than you can imagine!

“ but those who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings like eagles,
they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.” Isaiah 40:31 (NRSVCE)

Friend, Get Up Buckle Up Mount Up you have a race to Win Today!

“…I pray that you may have the power to comprehend, with all the saints, what is the breadth and length and height and depth,  and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, so that you may be filled with all the fullness of  God. Now to him who by the power at work within us is able to accomplish abundantly far more than all we can ask or imagine…” Ephesians 3:18-20 (NRSVCE)

Your spirit was fearfully and wonderfully made before time, for this space in time, for an assignment only you can accomplish.

 ^“For it was you who formed my inward parts; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
 I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made…

My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth.
Your eyes beheld my unformed substance. In your book were written all the days that were formed for me, when none of them as yet existed. Psalm 139:13-16 (NRSVCE)

Be Encouraged

Since we have such a huge crowd of men of faith watching us from the grandstands, let us strip off anything that slows us down or holds us back, especially those sins that wrap themselves so tightly around our feet and trip us up; and let us run with patience the particular race that God has set before us.

 Keep your eyes on Jesus, our leader and instructor. He was willing to die a shameful death on the cross because of the joy he knew would be his afterward; and now he sits in the place of honor by the throne of God.

If you want to keep from becoming fainthearted and weary, think about his patience as sinful men did such terrible things to him. After all, you have never yet struggled against sin and temptation until you sweat great drops of blood.

 And have you quite forgotten the encouraging words God spoke to you, his child? He said, “My son, don’t be angry when the Lord punishes you. Don’t be discouraged when he has to show you where you are wrong. For when he punishes you, it proves that he loves you. When he whips you, it proves you are really his child.”

Let God train you, he is doing what any loving father does for his children. Whoever heard of a son who was never corrected? If God doesn’t punish you when you need it, as other fathers punish their sons, then it means that you aren’t really God’s son at all—that you don’t really belong in his family. Since we respect our fathers here on earth, though they punish us, should we not all the more cheerfully submit to God’s training so that we can begin really to live?

Our earthly fathers trained us for a few brief years, doing the best for us that they knew how, but God’s correction is always right and for our best good, that we may share his holiness.  Being punished isn’t enjoyable while it is happening—it hurts! But afterwards, we can see the result, a quiet growth in grace and character.

 So take a new grip with your tired hands, stand firm on your shaky legs, and mark out a straight, smooth path for your feet so that those who follow you, though weak and lame, will not fall and hurt themselves but become strong. Hebrews 12: 1-13 (TLB)

Morning Line: Your Dream Matters!

 “Where there is no vision, the people perish…” Proverbs 29:18

Your dream matters big or small it gives you Passion, Motivation, Direction, and Purpose. It may seem small to you.

But, without you, it won’t be done and something important won’t happen.

Let God’s spirit align with your spirit to fulfill your dream; it counts, you count and God loves being involved in your project. He put them in you at the beginning of time. You were born to be amazing.

You have the Eternal Word and Promises Father God backing you up.

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him, nothing was made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men…” John 1:1-4(NKJV)

Think about this and personalize it. All good things in your life are from Him without Him nothing happens. Jesus Christ created this world and gave it life and breath. As you meditate on God’s Word you know His will better and better freeing the supernatural can be released in your life. Jesus Christ wants to create great things in your life, you determine how much by how much time you spend with Him.

How much do you want? Dare to Dream, Believe, and Receive your road map to your best destiny!

“For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord. They are plans for good and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope” Jeremiah 29:11 (TLB)

Morning Line: Love, Be Kind!

Love to Win!

“Love never fails (never fades out or becomes obsolete or comes to an end). 1 Corinthians 13:8

Is someone driving you up the wall and over the top?

God said in Romans 12:14 “Bless them, which persecute you: bless, and curse not.”

By an act of your will forgive them. Then watch as God steps in with peace, solution, and victory in a way you could have never imagined. 

“ Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation. Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God. For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.’ 2 Corinthians 5:18-21

 “ Our steps are made firm by the Lord when he delights in our way;  though we stumble, we shall not fall headlong, for the Lord holds us by the hand.” Psalm 37:23-24 (NRSVCE)

“God’s kind of love never fails” Believe IT walk in IT!

Trust God, Trust His Love, Trust His “Word”     

Stand confident in faith He is with you all the time all of the way.

The First Step to Lasting Change

Building Positive Habits

The First Step to Lasting Change

Building Positive Habits

This week, I want to talk about something that can really help us become our best selves: habits. Or if to be more specific, positive habits. They’re a key part of your personal growth journey and I’m excited to explore them with you.

The routines we establish play a crucial role in shaping our daily experiences and, ultimately, our lives. And after many repetitions, those routines become habits as we start doing them subconsciously. The power of positive habits lies in their ability to transform our aspirations into tangible realities, step by step.

Understanding the Impact of Habits

Our lives are essentially the sum of our habits — small actions repeated over time that define our health, productivity, and happiness. Positive habits, like regular exercise, eating healthy, making the bed in the morning, or dedicated learning time, compound to produce remarkable outcomes.

Conversely, negative habits can lead us away from our goals. Recognizing this impact is the first step toward harnessing the transformative power of habits.

Strategies for Building Positive Habits

1. Start Small: Choose one small habit you’d like to develop that aligns with your broader goals. It could be as simple as drinking a glass of water first thing in the morning or writing a gratitude list each night.
2. Understand the Cue-Routine-Reward Loop: Every habit follows this cycle. Identify a cue to trigger your new habit, establish the routine you’ll perform, and then reward yourself for completing it. This loop reinforces the habit formation process.
3. Create a Supportive Environment: Make your surroundings conducive to your new habit. If you want to read more, keep a book on your nightstand. If you’re aiming to exercise regularly, lay out your workout clothes the night before.

Consistency is key in habit formation. The more consistently you perform the action, the stronger the habit becomes. Don’t worry about making big leaps overnight. Focus on the cumulative effect of small, daily actions.

Recommended Book: Atomic Habits by James Clear.

This book offers a compelling exploration of how small changes can lead to remarkable results through the compound effect of tiny improvements.

Your Challenge

This week, I challenge you to select one positive habit to focus on. Reflect on why this habit is important to you and how it aligns with your larger goals. Then, using the strategies outlined above, start incorporating this habit into your daily routine.

The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Today, we take that step together, towards a future where our daily habits propel us toward our dreams and aspirations.

I’m excited to hear about the positive habits you choose to develop and your experiences in taking these first steps. Let’s support and inspire each other as we embark on this transformative journey.

Wishing you a week of small beginnings and big impacts,

Tomer Rozenberg
