In the following interview, Rabbi Jason Sobel provides us with a Jewish perspective of the times we now live in. He is a Messianic Jew and talks about Gaza and its ancient ties.
Understanding End Times
November 18th, 2025Heavenly Versus Earthly
November 17th, 2025Which treasures are you focused on, earthly or Heavenly?
Moses recorded by The Holy Spirit in Deuteronomy chapter 8:
18 “And you shall remember the LORD your God, for it is He Who gives you power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day.
Time and time again, FATHER has proved HIS Words in the above passage. As we are led by The Holy Spirit and found to be trustworthy with wealth, HE will increase the treasuries for us to manage on HIS behalf.
Jesus did not hesitate to reference finances when He spoke in the following verses:
Matthew 6:19 TPT
“Don’t keep hoarding for yourselves earthly treasures that can be stolen by thieves. Material wealth eventually rusts, decays, and loses its value.
Matthew 6:20 TPT
Instead, stockpile heavenly treasures for yourselves that cannot be stolen and will never rust, decay, or lose their value.
Matthew 13:52 TPT
He responded, “Every scholar of the Scriptures, who is instructed in the ways of Heaven’s Kingdom realm, is like a wealthy home owner with his house filled with treasures both new and old.”
Luke 16:11 TPT
If you have not handled the riches of this world with integrity, why should you be trusted with the Eternal treasures of the spiritual world?
Luke 18:22 TPT
“Ah,” Jesus said, “there’s still one thing you’re missing in your life.” “What is that?” asked the man. “You must go and sell everything you own and give all the proceeds to the poor so you will have Eternal treasures. Then come and follow Me.”
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in the following epistles:
Romans 8:17 TPT
And since we are His true children, we qualify to share all His treasures, for indeed, we are heirs of God Himself. And since we are joined to Christ, we also inherit all that He is and all that He has. We will experience being co-glorified with Him provided that we accept His sufferings as our own.
Romans 10:12 TPT
So then faith eliminates the distinction between Jew and non-Jew, for He is the same Lord for all people. And He has enough treasures to lavish generously upon all who call on Him.
Ephesians 1:7 TPT
Since we are now joined to Christ, we have been given the treasures of redemption by His Blood—the total cancellation of our sins—all because of the cascading riches of His grace.
Colossians 1:5 TPT
Your faith and Love rise within you as you access all the treasures of your inheritance stored up in the Heavenly realm. For the revelation of the True Gospel is as real today as the day you first heard of our glorious hope, now that you have believed in the Truth of the Gospel.
Colossians 3:2 TPT
Yes, feast on all the treasures of the Heavenly realm and fill your thoughts with Heavenly realities, and not with the distractions of the natural realm.
Can you handle wealth with integrity? If you can, you will become a conduit to bring forth Heavenly treasures to the earth, establishing The Kingdom of GOD. Think about it, which treasures are you focused on?
Effective, Strategic Prayer
November 16th, 2025GOD has strategically arranged for you as HIS representative of HIS world to be positioned here on earth at this time to make a difference!
Each of us has gifts and a calling Divinely appointed by Our Heavenly Father. HE co-labors with us to bring forth HIS Kingdom on earth as it is in Heaven. We have been placed here for such a time as this.
Prayer is an essential part of our lives in receiving our dreams and desires from FATHER. I wrote about praying for our daily needs yesterday. We need not use vain repetitions as though we can persuade FATHER to provide our daily needs.
In Matthew chapter 6, Jesus spoke of this type of prayer. In Matthew chapter 7, He speaks of another type of prayer:
7 “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.
8 For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.
9 Or what man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone?
10 Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent?
11 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father Who is in Heaven give good things (gifts) to those who ask Him!
In other Words, “Ask, and the gift is yours. Seek, and you’ll discover. Knock, and the door will be opened for you. For every persistent one will get what he asks for. Every persistent seeker will discover what he longs for. And everyone who knocks persistently will one day find an open door.”
Why must we be persistent in this type of prayer? Our persistence changes us so that we can properly steward the gift we are requesting.
When Jesus gave us the assignment to pray, He never told us to pray to keep us busy. He did not create prayer as a Christian activity to occupy our time, to occupy our thoughts, or to engage us emotionally knowing that we’ll never see the fulfillment of what we’re praying.
James wrote by The Holy Spirit in his Epistle, James chapter 5:
13 Are there any believers in your fellowship suffering great hardship and distress? Encourage them to pray! Are there happy, cheerful ones among you? Encourage them to sing out their praises!
14 Are there any sick among you? Then ask the elders of the church to come and pray over the sick and anoint them with oil in the name of our Lord.
15 And the prayer of faith will heal the sick and the Lord will raise them up, and if they have committed sins they will be forgiven.
16 Confess and acknowledge how you have offended one another and then pray for one another to be instantly healed, for tremendous power is released through the passionate, heartfelt prayer of a godly believer!
The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much!
The design of prayer comes out of this place where HE says, “Come up here.” It is an engagement with the Heart of THE FATHER. We have already been blessed with every Spiritual blessing in Christ in Heavenly places.
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians chapter 1:
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the Heavenly places in Christ,
In other Words, every spiritual blessing in the Heavenly realm has already been lavished upon us as a Love gift from Our Wonderful Heavenly Father, the Father of our Lord Jesus. Those spiritual blessings are already in my account. However, it’s not all in my possession. Prayer facilitates possession!
The Christian life is learning to make withdrawals. As we mature, we will effect change on the earth and bring forth HIS Kingdom.
Praying For Our Needs
November 15th, 2025Give us today tomorrow’s bread!
Most of us have quoted The Model Prayer (aka The Lord’s Prayer) numerous times throughout our lives.
Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 6:
5 “And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward.
6 But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.
7 And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do. For they think that they will be heard for their many words.
8 “Therefore do not be like them. For your Father knows the things you have need of before you ask Him.
9 In this manner, therefore, pray:
Our Father in Heaven, Hallowed be Your Name.
10 Your Kingdom come.
Your Will be done On earth as it is in Heaven.
11 Give us this day our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts, As we forgive our debtors.
13 And do not lead us into temptation,
But deliver us from the evil one.
For Yours is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.
We are not to use vain repetitions. We are not trying to convince FATHER to meet our needs, He already knows our needs before we ask, we are simply to pray daily for HIM to meet our needs in advance. Notice that Jesus uses the terms “Our Father” and “Give us”, not “My Father” and “Give me”. This prayer is intended for all believers, not just me and my family and no more.
Sometimes our prayers are token prayers to make us feel better about responding to a crisis and they’re not necessarily prayers to make a difference. The Lord has called us and positioned us to make a difference in our co-laboring relationship through prayer.
One of the greatest mysteries in the Bible is the fact that we were designed to co-labor with GOD!
Once you grasp this Truth, your prayer life will change for you are vital in bringing forth The Kingdom of GOD to the earth. A prayer is one of those moments where we see it the clearest.
You and I were designed to be alive at this moment in time.
In the Book of Esther, the Jews were to be annihilated by a decree of the king. Yes, GOD could have intervened on HIS own but HE co-labors with men and women. To keep the Jews from perishing, Esther was called to pray in order to be acceptable before the king and intervene on behalf of all Jews.
It is recorded by The Holy Spirit in Esther chapter 4:
10 Then Esther spoke to Hathach, and gave him a command for Mordecai:
11 “All the king’s servants and the people of the king’s provinces know that any man or woman who goes into the inner court to the king, who has not been called, he has but one law: put all to death, except the one to whom the king holds out the golden scepter, that he may live. Yet I myself have not been called to go in to the king these thirty days.”
12 So they told Mordecai Esther’s words.
13 And Mordecai told them to answer Esther: “Do not think in your heart that you will escape in the king’s palace any more than all the other Jews.
14 For if you remain completely silent at this time, relief and deliverance will arise for the Jews from another place, but you and your father’s house will perish. Yet who knows whether you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this?”
15 Then Esther told them to reply to Mordecai:
16 “Go, gather all the Jews who are present in Shushan, and fast for me; neither eat nor drink for three days, night or day. My maids and I will fast likewise. And so I will go to the king, which is against the law; and if I perish, I perish!”
17 So Mordecai went his way and did according to all that Esther commanded him.
Prayer is an essential part of our lives in receiving our needs from FATHER.
Quality, Purity, And Purpose
November 14th, 2025The renewed mind thinks of quality, purity, and purpose above quantity!
Jesus spoke in Mark chapter 8:
13 And Jesus left them, and getting into the boat again, departed to the other side. 14 Now the disciples had forgotten to take bread, and they did not have more than one loaf with them in the boat.
15 Then He charged them, saying, “Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod.”
16 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, “It is because we have no bread.”
17 But Jesus, being aware of it, said to them, “Why do you reason because you have no bread? Do you not yet perceive nor understand? Is your heart still hardened?
18 Having eyes, do you not see? And having ears, do you not hear? And do you not remember?
The disciples’ mindset had not changed. They were still thinking of scarcity rather than producing abundance with a single loaf of bread. Jesus continues:
19 When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments did you take up?” They said to Him, “Twelve.”
20 “Also, when I broke the seven for the four thousand, how many large baskets full of fragments did you take up?” And they said, “Seven.”
21 So He said to them, “How is it you do not understand?”
The world thinks in terms of size and amounts. Heaven, on the other hand, considers quality, purity, and purpose. Are we move moved by the million dollar gift than the hundred dollar gift? Yet Jesus placed Himself next to the offering box and observed people presenting their gifts.
Luke recorded by The Holy Spirit in Luke chapter 21:
1 Jesus observed all the wealthy coming into the temple courts wanting to be noticed as they came with their offerings.
2 He noticed a very poor widow who dropped two small copper coins in the offering box.
3 “Listen to Me,” He said. “This poor widow has given a larger offering than any of the wealthy.
4 For the rich only gave out of their surplus, but she sacrificed out of her poverty and gave to God all that she had to live on.”
Jesus thinks about quality and purity. The widow is the one who impressed Jesus the most. Wealthy people will donate large sums of money in order to get their family name on a public building while kids are suffering within a short distance of the building.
Sometimes what you see or can’t see cancels out what little faith you have. How can five loaves feed five thousand with twelve baskets of fragments being taken up whereas seven loaves feed four thousand and seven baskets of fragments remain?
Jesus provided us with another example of Heavenly increase.
Jesus spoke in John chapter 7:
37 On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink.
38 He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of Living Water.”
39 But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing in Him would receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.
A drink becomes a river. When we receive The Holy Spirit, as we surrender to Him, rivers of Living Water will flow from us. The ministry of The Holy Spirit is vital to our commission of ministering greater works than that of Jesus. He expects us to manifest His commands and expand the Kingdom of earth as it is in Heaven.
We must focus on quality, purity, and purpose in our walk as we are led by The Holy Spirit. Do not disregard or despise small beginnings.
Heaven’s Secret Code
November 13th, 2025Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1 Corinthians 14:18 NKJV
I thank my God I speak with tongues more than you all;
Dealing With Resistance
November 12th, 2025Don’t cower down to any resistance to The Gospel!
Luke recorded by The Holy Spirit in Acts chapter 14:
1 When Paul and Barnabas arrived at Iconium, the same thing happened there. They went, as they always did, to the synagogue and preached to the people with such power that a large crowd of both Jews and non-Jews believed.
2 Some of the Jews refused to believe, and they began to poison the minds of the non-Jews to discredit the believers.
The sons of the adversary will attempt to convince people that The Gospel is not real. Our testimonies will counteract such poison. I have been healed supernaturally, and it is well documented. Their poison cannot stand up against the Truth and the facts.
3 Yet Paul and Barnabas stayed there for a long time, preaching boldly and fearlessly about the Lord. Many trusted in the Lord, for He backed up his message of grace with miracles, signs, and wonders performed by the apostles.
4 The people of the city were split over the issue. Some sided with the apostles, and others with the Jews who refused to believe.
Miracles, signs and wonders testify of the validity of The Word. We should come to expect such confirmations as we share The Gospel.
5 Eventually, all the opposition factions came together, with their leaders devising a plot to harm Paul and Barnabas and stone them to death.
People who are blinded will submit to the father of lies and will ultimately respond with violence. Have you seen such responses in various cities around the country? Rather than praying for our leaders, they are promoting incitement to rebellion.
6 When the apostles learned about this, they escaped to the region of Lyconia, to the cities of Lystra and Derbe and the nearby villages.
7 And they continued to preach the hope of the Gospel.
Once the situation degraded to physical violence, Paul and Barnabas moved on and preached elsewhere. They were led by The Holy Spirit to depart.
Jesus’ life was not taken from Him, He laid it down.
The Beloved Disciple recorded by The Holy Spirit in John chapter 18:
3 The Pharisees and the leading priests had given Judas a large detachment of Roman soldiers and temple police to seize Jesus. Judas guided them to the garden, all of them carrying torches and lanterns and armed with swords and spears.
4 Jesus, knowing full well what was about to happen, went out to the garden entrance to meet them. Stepping forward, he asked, “Who are you looking for?” 5 “Jesus of Nazareth,” they replied. (Now Judas, the traitor, was among them.) He replied, “I am He.”
6 And the moment Jesus spoke the Words, “I am He,” the mob fell backward to the ground!
7 So once more, Jesus asked them, “Who are you looking for?” As they stood up, they answered, “Jesus of Nazareth.”
8 Jesus replied, “I told you that I am the One you’re looking for, so if you want Me, let these men go home.”
When Jesus spoke and said “I AM”, the soldiers fell because of HIS Glory. Jesus being fully led by The Holy Spirit, submitted to the perfect Will of GOD. He knew the time was at hand. As we are led by The Holy Spirit, we too will know when to remain or depart from a particular situation.
The Scattering
November 11th, 2025You will only pray and declare what you believe is possible!
Luke recorded by The Holy Spirit what the angel spoke in Luke chapter 1:
35 And the angel answered and said to her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you; therefore, also, that Holy One Who is to be born will be called the Son of God.
36 Now indeed, Elizabeth your relative has also conceived a son in her old age; and this is now the sixth month for her who was called barren.
37 For with God nothing will be impossible.”
Not one promise from God is empty of power. Nothing is impossible with God!
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1st Timothy chapter 2:
3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior (to pray for all men),
4 Who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the Truth.
If FATHER desires all men to be save, we should too.
Luke recorded by The Holy Spirit in Acts chapter 8:
1 Now Saul was consenting to his death. At that time a great persecution arose against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all scattered throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles.
2 And devout men carried Stephen to his burial, and made great lamentation over him.
3 As for Saul, he made havoc of the church, entering every house, and dragging off men and women, committing them to prison.
What did the ones who were scattered throughout the regions do?
4 Therefore those who were scattered went everywhere preaching the Word.
The “no name” believers preached the Gospel throughout the region. This prepared the people for the ministry of Philip. Who wasn’t scattered? The Apostles. Philip arrived later. The everyday believer went out to preach. You and I are qualified to preach.
5 Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria and preached Christ to them.
6 And the multitudes with one accord heeded the things spoken by Philip, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did.
7 For unclean spirits, crying with a loud voice, came out of many who were possessed; and many who were paralyzed and lame were healed.
What was the result of the scattering of believers to the region?
8 And there was great joy in that city.
Isn’t this one result of the Great Commission Jesus commanded in Mark chapter 16? Persecution led by Saul backfired. Instead, the Gospel spread throughout the region. Though FATHER does not initiate persecution, in this case intense, HE will use the situation to further the Kingdom of GOD on the earth.
It is possible for miracles to take place in such a measure, in such a level, that great joy comes to an entire city even before they are saved.
Don’t look at those who appear to be better at proclaiming the Gospel in your city. Allow The Holy Spirit to direct you in sharing The Good News. The Word of GOD has the power within Itself to cause Itself to come to pass. Simply speak The Word and allow FATHER to empower HIS Word.
You can lead a person to Christ in your own home; a church building is not required. The power is not in your maturity. The power is in The Word that you declare. FATHER says Amen to HIS Word when it is spoken.
Our Assignment
November 10th, 2025What is the will of GOD for how we live life?
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1st Timothy chapter 2:
1 Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men,
2 for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all Godliness and reverence.
3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior,
We must be careful and not be divided in our thinking. If you have in your thought process that GOD causes evil, then you are powerless when you face a conflict. Did GOD send the cancer or did the devil? We have weakened authority when we think GOD is the author of the evil that comes our way. HE is the Healer! The devil is the destroyer. GOD will use adverse situations to bring forth restoration, but HE did not instigate the adversity.
What is the Will of GOD on earth?
Jesus clarified this when He spoke in Matthew chapter 6:
9 In this manner, therefore, pray: Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your Name. 10 Your Kingdom come. Your Will be done On earth as it is in Heaven.
Is there any sickness or adversity in Heaven? No. This is an easy test to determine the nature of any situation you encounter.
FATHER gives us an assignment:
Pray for all men with all forms of prayers and requests as you intercede with intense passion and pray for every political leader and representative.
Secondly, give thanks.
The prayers for those in authority are not complaining prayers, not if you are giving thanks. We are never required to thank GOD for the evil that exists in a person, whether they be a ruler or your neighbor. The prayers that I pray are not to be accusations. They are to be prayers to FATHER to minister to those in leadership roles. As leaders, Moses, Joshua, and David were all called “servants of THE LORD”. We must not forget that FATHER places people in leadership roles.
Wisdom instructs us in Proverbs chapter 30:
10 Do not malign (criticize) a servant to His Master, Lest He curse you, and you be found guilty.
This means that I have no right to criticize another human being to HIM. That person is not my servant; he or she is HIS servant.
As I wrote yesterday, “Watch your words”.
The fruit of adhering to the lifestyle of praying mentioned above is that we would be able to live tranquil, undisturbed lives, as we worship the awe-inspiring God with pure hearts.
GOD wants the cities of the earth to be filled with peace… as it is in Heaven. HE wants violence to cease; HE wants broken families to get healed and restored. HE wants businesses to succeed, HE wants people to prosper, HE wants people to enjoy the provisions HE has made for us in life. The adversary’s goal is the opposite.
Our dream is to have a city whose builder and maker is GOD. Our prayers should focus on the reality of Heaven to permeate earth itself. We are to pray that The Gospel impacts our locale to such an extent that peace and tranquility prevail.
Do you believe it’s possible? Jesus expects us to bring forth His Kingdom to earth, and it will not be done by criticizing words.
Your Words
November 9th, 2025When dealing with adversity, watch your words!
Adversity causes what is in our hearts to surface in our words and actions. The confession of our mouth is crucial in our walk.
Wisdom recorded in Proverbs chapter 18:
21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit.
Your words are so powerful that they will kill or give life, and the talkative person will reap the consequences. Jesus understood this vital Truth when He spoke in John chapter 14:
10 Don’t you believe that The Father is living in Me and that I am living in The Father? Even My Words are not My own but come from My Father, for He lives in Me and performs His miracles of power through Me.
It is better to keep your mouth shut than to express words that are destructive in nature. Have you ever wanted to take back words that you spoke? I know I have. We must bridle our tongue and at times remain silent and wait on The Holy Spirit to direct our response.
James wrote in his epistle in chapter 3:
2 We all fail in many areas, but especially with our words. Yet if we’re able to bridle the words we say we are powerful enough to control ourselves in every way, and that means our character is mature and fully developed.
3 Horses have bits and bridles in their mouths so that we can control and guide their large body.
4 And the same with mighty ships, though they are massive and driven by fierce winds, yet they are steered by a tiny rudder at the direction of the person at the helm.
5 And so the tongue is a small part of the body yet it carries great power! Just think of how a small flame can set a huge forest ablaze.
6 And the tongue is a fire! It can be compared to the sum total of wickedness and is the most dangerous part of our human body. It corrupts the entire body and is a hellish flame! It releases a fire that can burn throughout the course of human existence.
7 For every wild animal on earth including birds, creeping reptiles, and creatures of the sea and land have all been overpowered and tamed by humans,
8 but the tongue is not able to be tamed. It’s a fickle, unrestrained evil that spews out words full of toxic poison!
9 We use our tongue to praise God our Father and then turn around and curse a person who was made in His Very Image!
10 Out of the same mouth we pour out words of praise one minute and curses the next. My brothers and sisters, this should never be!
11-12 Would you look for olives hanging on a fig tree or go to pick figs from a grapevine? Is it possible that fresh and bitter water can flow out of the same spring? So neither can a bitter spring produce fresh water.
Consider the conversion of Saul to Paul. It would have been easy to curse him for his actions as an enemy of Christ yet in the end, he wrote 2/3 of the New Testament by The Holy Spirit. We must not curse other people for they are made in HIS Image as well.
Do you want to promote life, or do you want to promote death? Watch your words. This includes self-criticism. Unbelief is a weak, bad feeling. Sometimes we will embrace a weakness to hide our unbelief.
If I am constantly saying I am unworthy, I’m not good enough, I’m weak in faith… I am still the primary subject. Even though I’m saying negative things to prove my humility, you never get humble by focusing on yourself. There is no humility with self-focus. It is actually subtle pride and it’s the most dangerous kind because it’s concealed and hidden.
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2nd Thessalonians chapter 2:
16 Now may the Lord Jesus Christ and our Father God, Who loved us and in His wonderful grace gave us Eternal comfort and a beautiful hope that cannot fail,
17 encourage your hearts and inspire you with strength to always do and speak what is good and beautiful in His Eyes.
Jesus also spoke in Matthew chapter 12:
36 You can be sure of this: when the day of judgment comes, everyone will be held accountable for every careless word he has spoken.
37 Your very words will be used as evidence, and your words will declare you either innocent or guilty.”
As I said, watch your words!
