Make Yourself Holy
In 1 Peter 1:15–16, the apostle Peter writes, But like the Holy One who called you, be holy yourselves also in all your behavior; because it is written, “YOU SHALL BE HOLY, FOR I AM HOLY.”[1] This statement is a command: “You be holy.” God is saying, “Sanctify yourself to Me.”...
Do Whatever Is Pleasing to the Father
This week begins the Day of Trumpets or Rosh Hashanah, which is the head of the Jewish new year (Numbers 29:1). And it is very much a joyful new year’s celebration. The Ten Days of Repentance also begin this week, followed by the Day of Atonement that celebrates the wonderful...
You Had Better Be Right
For forty years God took care of the children of Israel in the wilderness. He provided for them and cared for them like children (Nehemiah 9:19–21). Then as they left the wilderness and were preparing to enter the land of Canaan, Joshua encountered the Lord standing before him....
Love Your Brother as Yourself
The greatest and most precious name that God has given Himself is Father. And when you see God as your Father, you are also immediately aware of the family of God. Yeshua (Jesus) said, “YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL...
Overflowing With Gratitude
Yeshua (Jesus) our Lord lives in us. And by the power of His resurrection, we have been firmly rooted in our salvation through Christ dwelling in us (Colossians 1:27). Our walk with God is constantly in a process of growth and maturity as we are being built up in Him and...
Meditate on the Word of God
As you walk through trials and other difficult things in your life, you need to know, “God, You’re with me.” So I want to share how I learned from the story of Joshua to meditate on the Scriptures and draw the spiritual strength and faith that I need in my daily relationship...
Is This Not the Carpenter’s Son?
One significant place in Israel that makes the life of Yeshua (Jesus) come alive for me is the ancient Greco-Roman city of Sepphoris. Called Tzippori in Hebrew, the town is within an hour’s walk from Nazareth. This historic capital of the Galilee was a center of Jewish life and...
Your Spirit’s Desire to Worship Him
The Lord really wants to touch our lives in a significant way. James tells us, “Do you think that the Scripture speaks to no purpose: ‘He jealously desires the Spirit which He has made to dwell in us’?” (James 4:5).[1] As our Creator, God has made a spirit to dwell in every...
Sin, Consequences, and Salvation
This week Jewish families around the world will commemorate the saddest day of the year on the Jewish calendar. Known as Tisha B’Av or the Ninth of Av, it is a day of mourning, fasting, and prayer. Many disastrous events are remembered on this day, including the destruction of...
Are You Prepared for His Lordship?
In his letter to the Romans, Paul writes, I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of...
These Promises Belong to You
I want you young people to recognize what is resting on your generation. The spiritual gifts you are walking in today are a result of what earlier men and women did by faith in obtaining promises (Hebrews 11:33). It is like the parable we read in Matthew chapter 20 about the...
To the Heroes of This Day
On this tremendous Fourth of July celebration, I want to bless the United States of America as a nation founded on freedom and godly principles. Two hundred fifty years ago, our forefathers signed the Declaration of Independence. So when we think about our history as a nation,...
He Is Our Father
God, in His personality and in His way of relating to us, wants to be our Father. What a phenomenal thing! So I often begin my prayer time telling Him, “I want You to father me. I open my heart for You to raise me as Your dear child, to train me, mature me, and impart to me all...
Those of Whom the World Is Not Worthy
In our lifetime we have seen floods, tsunamis, and earthquakes of biblical proportions. I believe we are living in biblical days—but not so much because of what is happening around us in the natural world. When God puts us in biblical times, He also brings to the earth biblical...
To Our Friends and Fellow Workers
We at Hargrave Ministries are grateful for the friends and fellow workers who are assisting us to move forward in the things of God. So I want to share some Scriptures about Paul and his ministry because they lay a foundation for the desire that I have to see people feel...
Your Decisions Will Have Deep Consequences
God has given us a free will, and we exercise that free will by making choices. As we come into the end times, we will be faced with more and more decisions. Joel the third chapter says, Let the nations be arousedAnd come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat,For there I will sit to...
Christ Is Coming in His Many-Membered Body
In 1 Corinthians 12, Paul emphatically states that the Body of Christ is one body. For even as the body is one and yet has many members, and all the members of the body, though they are many, are one body, so also is Christ. For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one...
Are You Willing?
Pentecost means “fifty” because it is celebrated fifty days after the waving of the firstfruits of the barley grain at Passover (Leviticus 23:9–11, 15–16, 21). This sheaf of the firstfruits is symbolic of Christ in His resurrection. The barley harvest did not ripen all at once....
