“Trust me, that I am united with the Father, and the Father united with me. But if you can’t, then trust because of the works themselves. Yes, indeed! I tell you that whoever trusts in me will also do the works I do! Indeed, he will do greater ones, because I am going to the Father. In fact, whatever you ask for in my name, I will do; so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask me for something in my name, I will do it. “If you love me, you will keep my commands; and I will ask the Father, and he will give you another comforting Counselor like me, the Spirit of Truth, to be with you forever.” ‭‭Yochanan (Jhn)‬ ‭14:11-16‬ ‭🙌🏼 There are so many situations that require #miracles to solve them. It’s sad that miracles are a controversial topic bc they reveal the grace and mercy and power of YHVH. 🙌🏼One of my favorite miraculous manifestations to contemplate is the miracle of a person bending the knee and submitting to the rulership of God with a spirit of obedience and a hunger and thirst (Oh! That quenchless THIRST!) for righteousness 💦 🕎✝️ Don’t give up! Even though it looks impossible, keep praying, keep interceding, keep believing. God is at work in their lives. #wherethereslifethereshope #asformeiwillalwayshavehope #miracleshappen #intercessoryprayer #standinginthegap #jesusiscomingsoon #elul #teshuvah #yeshuahamashiach #encourageeachother #standfast #holdontoyourfaith #instagospel #biblegram #followerofyeshua #torahlife #spiritofobedience #miracleworkinggod #keeppraying #dontstopbelieving https://www.instagram.com/p/BnOVovjBTaa/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=injzwnssa4rh

Although I’m looking forward to the first night of Chanukkah it is always bittersweet bc it’s the anniversary of a very sad time in my life personally. As certain relationships have crumbled and disintegrated despite my best efforts and despite the seemingly dire situations that continue to loom on the horizon I cling to hope. You know that thing that is the evidence of things that you totally do not see ever coming to pass? Yeah that. I have a death grip on that. Some nights I feel like I’m clinging to hope so tightly that I wake up in the morning with a stiff neck and hunched shoulders, BUT guess what? I still have hope! Like many of you I celebrate Chanukkah with bittersweet joy. I rejoice in the victory Yah has wrought for His ppl, yet I long for the year when my family and friends find joy in celebrating the remembrance of this miraculous salvation. Although this year is sadly not that year, I’m still determined not to waste a moment of candlelight, not to squander an opportunity to ponder the wonderful miracle of Yah’s salvation, and of course definitely not miss out on a chance to nosh on some fried carbs😋 it may not be the Chanukkah I am longing for, but it’s the Chanukkah I’ve got, and I’m going to glorify my Creator, my Savior, my Shield, my Glory and the Lifter of my Head with every tear and every shout! #thisisthedaythelordhasmade #iwillrejoiceandbegladinit #asformeiwillalwayshavehope #nowfaithisthesubstanceofthingshopedfortheevidenceofthingsnotseen
