Scripture for the week of September 21, 2025
By JoBeth Kested

Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits: Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases, Who redeems your life from destruction, Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies, Who satisfies your mouth with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s. Psalm 103:2-5 (NKJV)

When considering a new job or opportunity, don’t we carefully evaluate the benefits before making our decision? And, when a job gets difficult or frustrating we often remind ourselves of the benefits in order to hang in there. Like the Psalmist in these verses, we may need to be reminded of the significant benefits that are ours when we choose to follow the Lord. By applying these truths to ourselves individually, we can declare: He forgives MY iniquities (wrong tendencies and actions)! He heals MY diseases! He redeems MY life from destruction! He crowns ME with love and mercy! He satisfies ME with goodness! And He renews MY youth like the eagles! Be blessed in your soul today and forget not all His benefits for you. Praise the Lord!

Exposing Yourself as Cain

Sep13

Examine yourself.

We are to:
Romans 12:15-16 TLV 15 Rejoice with those who rejoice; weep with those who weep. [a] 16 Live in harmony with one another; do not be proud, but associate with the lowly. Do not be wise in your own eyes.

If this is not what you are doing.. you have exposed yourself as Cain.

There is a great exposing happening during this Month of Elul. Cain has risen to slay a brother. Others who claim to know Yeshua, are clearly sons and daughters of Cain with stones in their hands.

I have witnessed this with my own eyes and I plead Yeshua’s blood over each one and ask that prior to the day of Atonement – Repent and be cleansed!

We are to be the One New Man..Yeshua is coming back for. I personally have dedicated my life to being His Bride. I do not want to be left behind. There is no greedy grace, but you can Repent!

Ephesians 2:14-16 TLV 14 For He is our shalom, the One who made the two into one and broke down the middle wall of separation. Within His flesh He made powerless the hostility— 15 the law code of mitzvot contained in regulations. He did this in order to create within Himself one new man from the two groups, making shalom, 16 and to reconcile both to God in one body through the cross—by which He put the hostility to death.

Genesis 4 TLV

Cain and Abel’s Blood

4 Now the man had relations with Eve his wife and she became pregnant and gave birth to Cain. She said, “I produced a man with Adonai.” 2 Then she gave birth again, to his brother Abel. Abel became a shepherd of flocks while Cain became a worker of the ground. 3 So it happened after some time that Cain brought an offering of the fruit of the ground to Adonai, 4 while Abel—he also brought of the firstborn of his flock and their fat portions. Now Adonai looked favorably upon Abel and his offering, 5 but upon Cain and his offering He did not look favorably. Cain became very angry, and his countenance fell.

6 Then Adonai said to Cain, “Why are you angry? And why has your countenance fallen? 7 If you do well, it will lift. But if you do not do well, sin is crouching at the doorway. Its desire is for you, but you must master it.”

8 Cain spoke to Abel his brother. While they were in the field, Cain rose up against Abel his brother and killed him. [a] 9 Then Adonai said to Cain, “Where is Abel, your brother?”

“I don’t know,” he said. “Am I my brother’s keeper?”

10 Then He said, “What have you done? The voice of your brother’s blood is crying out to Me from the ground. 11 So now, cursed are you from the ground which opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand. 12 As often as you work the ground, it will not yield its crops to you again. You will be a restless wanderer on the earth.”

13 Cain said to Adonai, “My iniquity[b] is too great to bear! 14 Since You expelled me today from the face of the ground and I must be hidden from Your presence, then I will be a restless wanderer on the earth—anyone who finds me will kill me!”

15 But Adonai said to him, “In that case, anyone who kills Cain is to be avenged seven times over.”

So Adonai put a mark on Cain, so that anyone who found him would not strike him down. 16 Then Cain left Adonai’s presence and dwelled in the Land of Wandering, east of Eden.

 

The Truth being revealed according to John 8:31-32 is that we must examine ourselves and choose. If you celebrate the death of another Child of athe Most High God.. you are exposing yourself as a child of Cain an antichrist spirit is in you and YHWH cares not what you think or want to say. He only cares truly about His Word (Yeshua). He has written how we are to conduct ourselves.

Either you are OR you are not. Examine yourself while there is still Time.

Don’t be a Virgin with no oil..one who spent their time cursing others, not fulfilling the Commandment to:

Matthew 22:37-40 TLV 37 And He said to him, “‘You shall love Adonai your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ [a] 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ [b] 40 The entire Torah and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”

Blessings and Shalom from one who has no stones in her hands.

Scripture for the week of August 31, 2025
By JoBeth Kested

Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth! The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah. Psalm 46:10-11 (NKJV)

Have you ever enjoyed a summer night of frogs croaking, crickets creaking and fireflies flitting? Or have you ever taken the time to look for pictures in the clouds or watched for falling stars in a dark night sky? Isn’t it interesting how much we can see and hear if we will take the time to be still. In stillness we may also have to face our encroaching fears, our emptiness or our feelings of being so alone. In this scripture God instructs us to be still in order to know that He is God. As our Heavenly Father, He so desires for us to cease from our struggles and striving to find the comfort, peace and rest we so long for in the stillness of His presence. Whatever we may be facing in the uncertainties and upheavals of this world our God declares in this scripture that He will be exalted above all else in the earth. The Lord of Hosts is with us and is our refuge. Selah—ponder and think of that!

Scripture for the week of July 20, 2025
By JoBeth Kested

Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, 2 Peter 1:2 (NKJV)

Are you in need of abundant grace and peace? Grace is undeserved favor and divine assistance. Peace is tranquility, harmony and freedom from disturbance or affliction. The Biblical definition of knowledge is based on understanding from experience. This verse exhorts us that the more we increase in knowing our Father God, and our Savior Jesus, the more His grace and peace will increase in our lives. Like the Hebrews in the wilderness that had to gather fresh manna each day, Jesus is the Bread of Life that God has provided for us to that we need to seek new each day. Whatever we may have experienced of God’s love, mercy, forgiveness and provision in the past, be encouraged to KNOW that as we seek to know Him more each day we’ll never exhaust the supply His sufficient favor, divine assistance, and peace that passes understanding. May His grace and peace be multiplied to you today.

Scripture for the week of June 22, 2025
By JoBeth Kested

“Hear me, LORD, and have mercy on me. Help me, O LORD.” You have turned my mourning into joyful dancing. You have taken away my clothes of mourning and clothed me with joy, that I might sing praises to you and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give you thanks forever! Psalms 30:10-12 NLT

Do you carry memories of nights endured with pillow soaking tears of grief? Maybe you have learned how to move forward, going through the motions of life, with the pain of sorrows like heavy weights on your soul? Hear the cry of this Psalmist in these verses with a renewed hope to call upon the Lord for His help and mercy in the darkness of your sorrows. Remember the promises in Isaiah 61 that He brings good news to the poor, comfort to the broken hearted and release to those held in captivity. Our God has both the power and love for us to turn our mourning into dancing for joy! Even when we don’t have the strength in ourselves, He is able to replace our old grave clothes of grief with the garments of joy and loud songs of praise! O Lord our God, we will lift our voices with shouts of joy and songs of thanksgiving for Your mercy and goodness to us forever and ever! Amen!

Scripture for the week of May 25, 2025
By JoBeth Kested

And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Now to our God and Father be glory forever and ever. Amen. Philippians 4:19-20 (NKJV)

Do you have difficulty believing that God really cares about any of the pressing needs you are currently facing? First of all, this verse profoundly declares that our God supplies ALL our need! But, if we are to understand that the doorway of His provision is in the glory of Jesus we may need to ask what is the glory? Biblically this often refers to the manifestation or the reality of God’s presence with us. Remember, one of the names of Jesus is Emanuel which means God with us. Therefore, there is a wealth of God’s provision for us as we grasp that Jesus is with us; our Prince of Peace, Wonderful Counselor, Friend of Sinners and our Savior. He is real, present and available to us in every circumstance today and everyday to meet ALL our needs. With renewed faith in His love for us, let us give worship, praise and glory to our Father God forever and ever. Yes, Amen!

Scripture for the week of May 18, 2025

By JoBeth Kested

I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you. Many are the woes of the wicked but the Lord’s unfailing love surrounds the one who trusts in him. Rejoice in the Lord and be glad, you righteous; sing, all you who are upright in heart! Psalm 32:8,10-11 (NIV)

Have you ever experienced a time when just by catching a look from someone you would know, without a doubt, exactly what you needed to do or to STOP doing? Most of us can easily remember “the look” from a parent or a teacher that clearly spoke louder than words! The key to being directed by “the look” implies you had to turn your eyes in that direction. This scripture informs us that the Lord has His eyes upon us. When we turn our eyes away from the cares, confusion and distractions of our days to focus our attention and trust upon our Father God, He is ready and so willing to teach us, guide us, council us and surround us with His unfailing love. Then, with uplifted hearts we can sing, rejoice and be glad in the Lord our loving God! Thank You, Lord.

Blessed Are The Peacemakers

May15



Personally, I want to be called God’s child. I also desire greatly to find out exactly how Blessed peacemakers are. God’s Word is True and He is faithful!

Abba, open the eyes of our understanding that we may become the  peacemaker’s that You will Bless, calling us Your child.  May we also learn to honor all of those peacemaker’s in our lives, our country and our world, honoring them and speaking forth Your Blessings.

May we also see clearly those who are not for peace. Those selfish strife causers that are in truth against You and aligned with the antichrist spirit yet pretending to be peace lovers. Expose every single one of these Abba, make it plain to us. May we always be found on Your side of Peace in Yeshua’s Name Amen! Amen! Amen!

Scripture for the week of May 11, 2025
By JoBeth Kested

And the angel answered and said unto her , “…For with God nothing will be impossible.” Then Mary said, “Behold the maidservant of the Lord! Let it be to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her. Luke 1:35a,37-38 (NKJV)

Are you facing impossibilities beyond your understanding and in need of miracles? What are we to do when our dreams are dashed and all hope is gone? We must turn our attention to heed this hope filled declaration by the Angel Gabriel when he stated that nothing is impossible with God! Before this verse in Luke, Gabriel told Mary—an unwed young woman, that she was to give birth to the son of God and she responded, “How can this be?” Are you are looking at your overwhelming circumstances or evaluating hopeless impossibilities with devastating dead ends ahead and asking yourself “Now what do I do?” or “Is there any hope?” Remember that nothing is impossible with our God Who is able to move mountains, part the seas, raise the dead and open prison doors for His servants that fully put their trust in Him. Yes and amen, Lord!

Mothers Day Blessings To You Today

May11

Honor-Defined in Hebrew: Kavod is the Hebrew word for honor and respect.

Biblically kavod indicates worth and value, and results in praise. Glory in Hebrew should be seen as abounding in honor and reverence that results in praise.

Honor, Respect and Reverence are required of us before YHWH our Elohim in regard to our Mothers. We must all rise up and Bless each Mother that Abba has placed in our path, physical as well as spiritual.

Proverbs 31:10-31 NKJV

Proverbs 31:28 … 28 Her children rise up and call her blessed; Her husband also, and he praises her:
29 “Many daughters have done well, But you excel them all.”

The Virtuous Wife

10 Who[a] can find a [b]virtuous wife?
For her worth is far above rubies.
11 The heart of her husband safely trusts her;
So he will have no lack of gain.
12 She does him good and not evil
All the days of her life.
13 She seeks wool and flax,
And willingly works with her hands.
14 She is like the merchant ships,
She brings her food from afar.
15 She also rises while it is yet night,
And provides food for her household,
And a portion for her maidservants.
16 She considers a field and buys it;
From [c]her profits she plants a vineyard.
17 She girds herself with strength,
And strengthens her arms.
18 She perceives that her merchandise isgood,
And her lamp does not go out by night.
19 She stretches out her hands to the distaff,
And her hand holds the spindle.
20 She extends her hand to the poor,
Yes, she reaches out her hands to the needy.
21 She is not afraid of snow for her household,
For all her household is clothed with scarlet.
22 She makes tapestry for herself;
Her clothing is fine linen and purple.
23 Her husband is known in the gates,
When he sits among the elders of the land.
24 She makes linen garments and sells them,
And supplies sashes for the merchants.
25 Strength and honor are her clothing;
She shall rejoice in time to come.
26 She opens her mouth with wisdom,
And on her tongue is the law of kindness.
27 She watches over the ways of her household,
And does not eat the bread of idleness.
28 Her children rise up and call her blessed;
Her husband also, and he praises her:
29 “Many daughters have done well,
But you excel them all.”
30 Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing,
But a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised.
31 Give her of the fruit of her hands,
And let her own works praise her in the gates.

We cry out to Abba on behalf of all Mothers according to Proverbs 31:31 Give her of the fruit of her hands, And let her own works praise her in the gates. In Yeshua’s Name Amen

Rising up to call our Mother Blessed is important to Adonai. So important that He placed honoring our Mother in the 10 Commandments.

Know today that in honoring all of those who have participated in a Mothering role in your life that your days will be prolonged in the land which the Lord is giving you. Rsing up and declaring each one Blessed.

This excites me personally because I want to live and declare His Word and I want the land that He has for me and to do all that He crested me to do.

I pray that each of us will find great and creative ways to honor all of the Mothers in our lives. That our honor of them will be precious, loving, kind and even extravagant in Jesus Name. Amen

Blessings and Shalom-Love Beyond Measure, Beth Auman
