Spirit and Truth Devotional - The War is Real Series: The Armor of God - The Shield of Faith Paul urges believers to lift the shield of faith to stop the devil’s fiery arrows. The Roman scutum was large like a door, able to cover a soldier completely and even push back the enemy. Wrapped in wet leather, it was designed to extinguish flaming darts. In the same way, faith becomes our first line of defense. Hebrews 11 reminds us that faith is confidence in what we hope for and that without it, we cannot please God. Satan attacks through doubt, fear, and temptation, trying to convince us that his promises are better than God’s. But faith exposes his lies and puts out his arrows. Unlike the other pieces of armor we wear, the shield must be taken up—we choose it daily. Faith isn’t blind; it’s built on evidence of God’s goodness and power. When we hold it firmly, we stand protected. When we drop it, we become vulnerable. So in every circumstance, we lift the shield of faith and trust God to keep us standing.

✨ Prophecy Fulfilled: The Life of Yeshua (Jesus) – Episode 57 “False Witnesses” (John 18:12–24; Matthew 26:57–68; Mark 14:53–65; Luke 22:54–65) The garden was behind them now. Bound and led through the darkness, Yeshua was taken first—not to Caiaphas, but to Annas, the former high priest. Though no longer holding the office, Annas still held power. This was the beginning of a trial that was never meant to be just. ⸻ 🌑 Before Annas — Power Without Authority Annas questioned Yeshua about His disciples and His teaching. Yeshua answered calmly. “I have spoken openly to the world. I always taught in synagogues and in the temple, where all the Jews come together. I said nothing in secret. Why do you ask Me? Ask those who heard Me what I said to them.” Truth required no defense. For this, an officer struck Him across the face. “Is that how you answer the high priest?” Yeshua replied—not with anger, but with clarity: “If I said something wrong, testify to what is wrong. But if I spoke the truth, why did you strike Me?” There was no answer. Only silence—and the decision to send Him onward. ⸻ 🔥 Before Caiaphas — A Trial in the Dark Yeshua was brought to Caiaphas, where scribes and elders had gathered. This was not a lawful court. Trials were not to be held at night. Witnesses were not to be coached. But none of that mattered now. Many false witnesses came forward. Their stories did not agree. At last, two testified: “This man said, ‘I am able to destroy the temple of God and rebuild it in three days.’” Even this was twisted. Still, Yeshua remained silent. Caiaphas pressed Him directly: “I charge You under oath by the living God: tell us if You are the Messiah, the Son of God.” This time, Yeshua answered. “You have said so. But I tell you, from now on you will see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of Power and coming on the clouds of heaven.” The room erupted. ✝️ CONTINUED IN COMMENTS ⬇️⬇️⬇️ #Bible #Salvation #God #Jesus #Help #Love

🕊️ Will God take me back even though I screwed up my life? Short answer? Yes. Long answer? Still yes—but let’s talk about why, because this question doesn’t come from rebellion. It comes from regret. ⸻ You’re Not Asking Because You Don’t Care People who are truly lost don’t ask this question. They justify. They blame. They numb. But you are asking because somewhere inside you is a quiet ache that says, “I didn’t mean for it to go this far.” That ache matters. ⸻ God Is Not Shocked by Your Story There is no version of your life that caught God off guard. Not the divorce. Not the addiction. Not the anger. Not the years you ran, hid, or pretended you were fine. God doesn’t flip through your past like a police report. He looks at it like a Father watching His child limp home. ⸻ Grace Is Not a Reward for Good Behavior This is where people get stuck. We think repentance means: • cleaning ourselves up first • fixing the damage • becoming “worthy” again But grace works in the opposite direction. You don’t come back because you’re healed. You come back to be healed. ⸻ The Cross Already Answered Your Question If God was willing to endure humiliation, torture, and death before you ever messed up your life, why would your failure suddenly be too much? Jesus Christ didn’t die for the future version of you that “gets it right.” He died for the version of you asking this exact question. ⸻ Shame Says “Hide.” God Says “Come Home.” Shame whispers: “You blew your chance.” God says: “I never rescinded the invitation.” Shame tells you God is disappointed in you. Scripture shows God is heartbroken for you. There is a difference. ⸻ What Repentance Really Looks Like Repentance is not groveling. It’s not self-loathing. It’s not punishing yourself long enough to feel forgiven. Repentance is simply turning around & saying: “I don’t want this life anymore. I want You.” And God has never rejected that prayer. ✝️ CONTINUED IN COMMENTS ⬇️⬇️⬇️ #Love #God #Jesus

Romans 8:1-5 KJV There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. [2] For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. [3] For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: [4] That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. [5] For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. Romans 3:23-25 KJV For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; [24] Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: [25] Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; 1 Corinthians 15:1-7 KJV Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; [2] By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. [3] For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; [4] And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: [5] And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: [6] After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. [7] After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. ... ... ... #Jesus 📜📜📜✝️✝️✝️🙏🙏🙏😎😎😎⚠️⚠️⚠️

💫 Revelation — A Brief Introduction to the Bible Part 61** The book of Revelation is not a puzzle to frighten believers, nor a codebook meant only for scholars. It is a revelation — an unveiling — given by God to reveal Jesus Christ in glory, authority, judgment, and ultimate victory. It is the final book of Scripture not because it is mysterious, but because it is conclusive. Revelation gathers every thread of biblical history — creation, covenant, rebellion, redemption, justice, and restoration — and brings them to their appointed end. At its heart, Revelation declares one unshakable truth: Jesus Christ reigns. Evil will be judged. God will dwell with His people. And all things will be made new. This book does not exist to terrify the faithful — it exists to strengthen them. ⸻ Authorship & Setting Revelation was written by the Apostle John near the end of the first century while he was exiled on the island of Patmos for his testimony about Jesus Christ. Isolated from the churches he loved, John received a series of visions directly from the risen Lord. The letter is addressed first to seven real churches in Asia Minor — churches facing persecution, compromise, complacency, false teaching, and spiritual fatigue. Though written to them, Revelation was clearly intended for the entire Church, across every generation. John is not speculating. He is witnessing. ⸻ What Revelation Is — and Is Not What It Is • A prophetic unveiling of Christ’s authority and future reign • A call to perseverance and faithfulness • A warning to the unrepentant • A comfort to the suffering • A declaration of God’s final justice • A promise of restoration and eternal life What It Is Not • A timeline designed to fuel fear • A political manifesto • A code that can be fully cracked through current headlines • A book meant to divide believers into camps ✝️ CONTINUED IN COMMENTS ⬇️⬇️⬇️ #Bible #God #Jesus #BibleStudy #Help #Love #TrustGod
