Walking with Jesus

I decided in 1994 to follow Jesus with all my heart, mind, and body. It was not easy then, and it still is not easy. I have noticed the longer I walk with Christ, if I am not alert and intentional about surrendering daily to Him, it is easy to let the world take over or even let my selfish desires take the place of totally following Jesus. Walking with Yeshua will be home to gleanings I gather, as I walk trying to follow Jesus.

Hi,

Neat site!

I have a curious question. Your Blog site uses the name "Yeshua", yet in your blog you freely call him by his Greek name "Jesus".

Not many people use both names interchangalbly. What would you say to someone who insists on using one name or the other but not both?

Curiously yours,

Thank you Pearl for your comment. Wow, I have a comment! First one, again thank you.

I was noticing I did use both names. I mentioned I am learning daily to follow Jesus/Yeshua. I am learning much about His Kingdom, His teachings, etc. Like most areas in my life learning new names for someone takes a bit of getting use to. I have always called my Lord, Jesus, but have been trying to call Him Yeshua. Searching the Hebrews roots of Christianity has been an interesting journey, some of my findings have caused me to question many traditional routines why I do what I do...

Thank you for asking me this question, it has challanged me to think. I do have friends on both sides some who only use Yeshua and some who use Jesus.

One more thought on why am I using both Yeshua and Jesus. Walking with Jesus was not available for a blog title.

Spiritual Sunday -- “I Will” not be Afraid!

Image
Last week, after I posted the “I will” statements from Psalm 118, an online friend (Yvette) suggested that each of the statements would make interesting devotionals. For Spiritual Sunday this week and the next several weeks, I will post a few thoughts on each of the “I will” proclamations from this Psalm. Psalm 118 is an interesting Psalm to mediate upon. As you read through it is apparent that an individual worshiper is coming before God in prayer representing the people of Israel. All of Israel had experienced God’s goodness and magnificent display’s of His unconditional love that was constantly sustaining them. Originally the worship leader would have been a king or priest, but today anyone can come before God reciting His acts of goodness and mercy before God’s people. God desires that we bless him with our heart felt responses of gratitude through our prayers. The Psalmist knew that no matter what they were facing in life God was always with them. Today, God through his Holy ...

The six "I will" statements from Psalm 118

Image
1. vs 6 "I will not be afraid." 2. vs 7 "I will look in triumph on my enemies." 3. vs 17 "I will not die but live." 4. vs 17 "I will proclaim what the Lord has done." 5. vs 19 "I will enter and give thanks to the Lord." 6. vs 21 "I will give Him thanks." When a spiritual battle is raging around us, we need to remember who is with us. We need to keep our eyes focused on Christ. God is always with us, he is our helper when conflict and spiritual warfare is upon us. When we are steadfast in our faith, and focused completely on Jesus we will be able to say as the Psalmist has written, "I will..." In the name of the Lord, we will have victory over our enemies in this world, as we remember to say "I will..." With Love Robin Be sure to check out the inspirational writings at Spiritual Sundays . Thanks to Ginger and Charlotte for hosting this site and encouraging us today to seek the Lord.

My Story

Over the last month life has not been easy in my home, I have alluded to this numerous times in earlier posts. My youngest daughter, 21, is bi-polar and has made choices in her life that have caused chaos to enter our family. It is amazing how our decisions not only affect us personally they affect those around us, if only we could realize the impact while we are making daily choices. I have noticed recently several of my blogger friends have written about how the negative words of our mouth and heart have a huge impact on our life. My daughter’s self-talk can be such a downer, for herself and our family. In the book of Psalm and Proverbs the words of our mouth and the meditations of our hearts are a central theme. God knows how he wired us! What I have experienced is how the negative talk has affected every aspect of my own life. What I am learning to do is rise above the chaos and negativity by journaling about everything, getting it out of my heart, mind, and soul onto paper. ...
