Who exactly is this Proverbs 31 Woman? What shall we call her? What is her correct title? Is she (as transliterated in a few versions): The Excellent Wife The Virtuous Woman The Capable Wife The Wife of Noble Character The Accomplished Woman The Woman of Worth The Competent Wife OR is she… The Warrior Woman […]

Do I Need Counsel?
Who is your counselor? If you say, ‘I don’t have a counselor’, that’s completely UNTRUE. You are already following a counsel of some kind. So, let me back up for a minute; proud humans have a great tendency to do what’s right in our OWN eyes: Deuteronomy 12:8 – “You shall not do at all what […]
‘Make Them ONE as WE are ONE’ ~ Yeshua (John 17)
The Way to ONENESS with G-d is through ONENESS with others (in the Body of Mashiach). There are too many Believers who are not Followers. Why is that? Because they profess a ONENESS with G-d while they have NO ONENESS with their brothers/sisters. They have the ‘haughty eye’, a dishonorable self-imposed elevated status that has […]
Emotionally Speaking…
I don’t want emotions to influence my thinking. My thinking should be influencing my emotions. Where is my mind, then? Where do I place it? Where have I left it? As I immerse my mind in the Living Word of G-d, His Holy Ruach sanctifies my emotions. This is to be influenced and governed by […]
The Fleshly Work of FACTIONS
This is the ADMONITION of the Apostle (Paul), filled with G-d’s Ruach, to those living in the last days (acharit-hayamim) of this present world (‘olam hazeh). There is the world to come (‘olam haba). But right now, Followers of Yeshua have righteous, holy works to do by His Ruach’s Power, not by our own human strength […]
Fruit of the Spirit – Self Control
John 15:5 – “I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing. Gaining a deeper understanding of the ‘Fruit of The Spirit’ happens as you intentionally study the Tanakh alongside others over time. Yeshua said to […]
A Word to The Wise (Chokmah)
Who is wise and understanding among you? 1 Thessalonians 5:23 – And may the G-D of shalom Himself set you apart for special use fully and completely [separate you from profane things, make you pure and wholly consecrated to G-D]; and may your spirit and mind and body be tended to carefully in all respects […]
Yosef’s Special ‘Blanket’ and Bestowed Favor
Last week in Mereas Fellowship Study, we talked about Yosef and his favor (GRACE), then non-favor, fall and eventual rise to G-D’s ultimate plan for his life…for all lives in that time. As we walked through Yosef’s story, we came to understand that none of his pain, confusion, and abandonment was wasted. We felt and […]
Facing Myself
How well do you DECORATE? I love to decorate my home. Most women do. My eye is always drawn to beautiful décor. I love to imagine how a room may be more inviting, brighter, more colorful or rearranged with pops of color here and there. But the space and place that is ALWAYS in need […]
The ‘C’ Word: Commitment (It’s Costly!)
I learn so much about myself and about human behavior in general through the in-depth study of God’s Word. I’m talking about taking a L O N G H A R D L O O K at This Living Word, word by word oftentimes. Commitment. I’ve had a problem with it for as long […]
