Scripture for the week of March 29, 2026
By JoBeth Kested

Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7 (NLT)

Have you ever wondered how to find peace in the midst of difficult and overwhelming situations? Peace is something money cannot buy, but I am sure there are times we would gladly pay for it if we could. Though not always easy, these two verses show us in a few simple steps God’s pathway to finding His peace. 1) Don’t waste your time worrying. 2) Talk to God about everything. 3) He wants us to bring Him all our needs. 4) Be sure to thank Him for all He does for you. Then we are promised God’s miraculous peace that passes all our understanding. Peace that protects our hearts and minds beyond anything we can imagine as we live the life that is given to us in Jesus. Prayer is just simply talking to God and is the entry way to walking in His path of peace for you today and always.

One Lamb Per Household

One Lamb for the Household

Generational Salvation through the Lamb of God – Yeshua (Jesus)

Scripture Focus

Exodus 12:3 – “Each man is to take a lamb for his family, one lamb for the household.”

Devotional

Nissan is the first month in God’s appointed calendar—His beginning of beginnings. This is important. It marks a divine reset, a sacred invitation into His times and seasons.

You are not forced to observe the Feasts of the Lord. Abba will never remove your free will. Salvation through Yeshua (Jesus) is secure for those who believe. Yet, there are blessings connected to honoring what He calls holy. When we choose His ways, we step into deeper alignment with His heart.

In Exodus 23:20–33, we see beautiful promises connected to walking in His ways:

  • Divine protection
  • Victory through alignment and positioning
  • Commissioned authority
  • Supernatural health and provision
  • Multiplication and longevity
  • A holy fear released upon enemies
  • Relief from adversaries
  • Dominion and increased inheritance
  • Freedom from corrupt covenants

Nissan begins the cycle of First Fruits and carries within it Passover—the foundation of redemption. This is a powerful time to learn, to remember, and to celebrate.

From the beginning, Adonai established a profound principle: one lamb for one household. If a household was too small, they were instructed to share with their neighbor. This was never meant to be isolated—it was always communal, always generational.

Yeshua (Jesus), our Messiah, is that Lamb.

John 1:29 declares: “Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!”

And through Him:

Revelation 12:11 reminds us that we overcome “by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony.”

This is not just theology—it is inheritance.

Many believers are awakening to the Hebraic roots of their faith, recognizing that God operates within a sacred calendar He established from the very beginning. In Genesis, when God spoke creation into existence, He also set times and seasons in motion—appointed moments to meet with Him.

These Feasts are not burdens; they are invitations.

The call is not merely to know about God, but to live from the Tree of Life—to love what He loves, simply because we love Him.

James 4:7–8 calls us deeper:

“Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee… Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you.”

Through Yeshua, we are brought into what Ephesians 2:14–16 calls “one new humanity.” He Himself is our peace—removing division and reconciling us to God through His sacrifice.

This does not remove us from God’s appointed times—it invites us into them.

Passover reveals the heart of the Father:

A Lamb given.

A household covered.

A people delivered.

When the blood was applied to the doorposts in Egypt, it marked protection, deliverance, and covenant. Today, through Yeshua, we apply that same truth spiritually—over our lives, our families, and our generations.

This is why “one Lamb for the household” still speaks today.

It is an invitation to:

  • Cover your family in the finished work of Jesus
  • Declare salvation over your household
  • Share the Good News with those near you

As Yeshua said in Mark 16:15:

“Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.”

A Heart Posture of Celebration

We do not celebrate Passover out of religious obligation—but out of relationship.

We gather, we remember, we give thanks.

We honor the Lamb—Yeshua—who brought us from death into life.

Each year, we ask the Lord to teach us how to celebrate His ways more fully, more purely, and more intimately.

And as we do, He reveals more of His heart.

A Gentle Invitation

Take a moment and ask the Lord:

“Abba, how do You want me to honor You in this season?”

He is faithful to guide you into all truth (John 16:13).

There are many traditions in the world, but not all of them reflect His Word. This is not about condemnation—it is about invitation. The Word of God is complete, living, and full of truth.

He desires closeness with you.

Reflection Question

What would it look like for me and my household to intentionally honor the Lamb in this season?

Decree & Prayer

Father, in Yeshua’s Name,

I thank You for the Lamb—Jesus the Messiah—given for my household.

Today, I apply the blood of the Lamb over my life, my family, and my generations.

I declare that I have passed over from death into life by the blood of the Lamb.

I thank You for Your deliverance, Your protection, and Your covenant promises.

I ask for salvation to flow through my household and to those near me.

Teach me to honor You in Your appointed times.

Show me how to love what You love.

Holy Spirit, lead me into all truth.

May the Shalom of Yeshua be my portion always,

And may I receive all that You have for me.

In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Closing Blessing

Yeshua (Jesus) is King of kings and Lord of lords.

May His Shalom—His wholeness and peace—rest upon you and your household.

Blessings and Shalom,

Love Beyond Measure,

Scripture for the week of March 22, 2026
By JoBeth Kested

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1 (KJV)

Have you ever struggled to find faith to guide you in the midst of gripping fearful circumstances? In such times, it is important to be reminded that succumbing to fear instead of believing in faith is a choice. If we put the word fear in this scripture it would read, “Now fear is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” How much easier it is to see the foolishness of wasting our time and energy by wallowing in the quicksand of fear that anticipates and expects things we can’t even see yet and have no power to change. We can choose instead to turn our focus on faith in our all powerful, Almighty, Heavenly Father that creates worlds out of nothing, is able to move mountains, make rivers in the desert, and brings resurrection life from the dead! Instead of yielding to fear, put your faith in the Lord, Who can create things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen and is more than able to satisfy all your need according to His riches in glory (Phil.4:19).

Scripture for the week of March 15, 2015
By JoBeth Kested

He rescued me from my powerful enemy, from my foes, who were too strong for me. They confronted me in the day of my disaster, but the Lord was my support. He brought me out into a spacious place; He rescued me because he delighted in me. Psalm 18:17-19 (NIV)

Have you ever felt like you are facing enemies or difficult circumstances too powerful to overcome? Sometimes we find ourselves in the midst of overpowering situations that feel like there is nowhere to turn and no one to help. These scriptures remind us that even when we are confronted with hopeless delimas and powerful foes, underneath our shaking knees we have the unshakable strength and support of the all powerful, almighty King of kings and Lord of lords. Because our Heavenly Father delights in you and me, He rescues us from any captivity and bring us out into the freedom of open spaces with new opportunities. Whatever we face today or tomorrow we must not forget to rejoice in the truth that the Lord delights in us and will always be our strength, our deliverer, and Savior. All glory, honor and praise to our God! Yes, amen!

Scripture for the week of March 8, 2026
By JoBeth Kested

For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:38-39 (NKJV)

Have you ever experienced the abandonment of someone special, the betrayal of a friend, rejection of family, or a deep empty loneliness that won’t go away? Or, do paralyzing fears in your life or fear of death cripple your hopes for the future? This scripture is a comforting promise that no matter what valley of pain or fear we may have to walk through in this life, there is absolutely no power, nor anyplace, any person nor anything that can separate us from the love of Christ. Corrie ten Boom, a survivor of one of the worst Nazi concentration camps during WWII, once said, “There is no pit so deep, that God’s love is not deeper still.” If you struggle with past hurts, present anxiety, fear of death or fear of any future dilemma, ask Jesus to come fill your heart with His perfect love that casts out all fear. (1 John 4:18) Only Jesus can heal our hearts and fill us with His love that never fails and will never leave us. May you know the joy of God’s endless love for you today.

Purim Blessings 5786

Sweetness in overcoming joy! Celebrate Purim.

The Feast of Purim is in the month of Adar and is the happiest, most joyous celebration time in the Hebraic calendar. This is definitely a month for those who have prevailed with us on the “Quest of the Overcomers” to experience fullness of  joy!

   “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control” Galatians 5:22 NKJV

     Then he said to them, “Go your way, eat the fat, drink the sweet, and send portions to those for whom nothing is prepared; for this day is holy to our Lord. Do not sorrow, for the joy of the LORD is your strength.” Nehemiah 8:10 NKJV

 The Feast of Esther is on the 13th of Adar, which celebrates the story in the book of Esther about the beautiful Jewish girl that became the queen of king Ahasuerus in ancient Persia. The Feast of Purim, on Adar 14, is remembrance of when the wicked schemes of Haman’s bitterness towards the Jew, Mordecai, (Esther’s uncle) to destroy all the Jews in the land, were overthrown and turned into sweetness of joy!

     “When Haman saw that Mordecai neither bowed down nor paid homage to him, Haman was filled with rage. But he disdained to lay hands on Mordecai alone, for they had told him who the people of Mordecai were; therefore Haman sought to destroy all the Jews, the people of Mordecai, who were throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus.” Esther 3:5-6 NASB

   “…In the name of King Ahasuerus it was written, and sealed with the king’s signet ring. And the letters were sent by couriers into all the king’s provinces, to destroy, to kill, and to annihilate all the Jews, both young and old, little children and women, in one day, on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month of Adar, and to plunder their possessions.” Esther 3:12-13

     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. 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?” Esther 4:13-14

Esther trusted in the wise counsel of her uncle Mordecai and submitted herself and the eminent destruction of her Jewish people to God. She relied totally on Him alone as she instructed all her handmaidens and the Jews in the city to fast and pray with her. With clear instructions, requiring her trust and obedience, she was not disappointed to see the salvation of God. In the end it was Haman and his entire family that were destroyed and the Jewish people were saved!

   “By these letters the king permitted the Jews who were in every city to gather together and protect their lives—to destroy, kill, and annihilate all the forces of any people or province that would assault them, both little children and women, and to plunder their possessions, on one day in all the provinces of King Ahasuerus, on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month of Adar.

     The Jews had light and gladness, joy and honor. And in every province and city, wherever the king’s command and decree came, the Jews had joy and gladness, a feast and a holiday.” Esther 8:11-12, 16-17a NKJV

What is our Spiritual warfare assignment in this month of Adar? Pray about this.

 

Blessings and Shalom, Love Beyond Measure

He is able to make the crooked places straight and make the rough places smooth on our behalf.
