Fasting, A Time of Desperation

You want to connect with God? Get desperate. What are you desperate for? What were you desperate for and gave up on?

Do the Tebow

Everyone is about a good-luck charm. It’s working for Tebow, so let’s do the Tebow and maybe God will help us. It’s like the promise that many preachers make today and is even quoted in a movie, “There are 365 ‘Fear Not’s’ in the Bible, one for every day of the year.” First, there are nowhere near 365 in the Bible. Second, who needs that many when one from God will last a lifetime. How many times does the Bible say “fear not?” What does it matter?

Tebow

So, what is Tebow doing to make his trademark so popular, the Tebow? He and John 3:16 received more hits on google search than any other topic in the US. Why? Why is everyone talking about doing the “Tebow?”

The Passion of Yashua – Anointed

There are four significant things His reading mentions that He is ascribing to Himself:

The Passion of Yashua – The Announcement

Approximately 18 years have now passed since Jesus’ first visit to Jerusalem with His parents for the Passover Celebration. The message has had much time to develop and it could not be any clearer than it is on this day. He is standing before people that He grew up with.

The Passion of Yashua

At the age of 12 Jesus’ passion was already evident. He loved the Word of God. He loved to talk about the things of His Father. He was already, at this age, aware of what His Heavenly Father’s business was and wanted to be a part of it.
