CHANGES THAT WILL TRY OUR FAITH AND TEST OUR BELIEF
During these times most are experiencing uncertainty, coupled with fear, which can and will test our resolve to stay grounded in YHWH, through Yashuah. (for those who are not grounded, now is a good time to consider it. What can you lose, or should I say Who will you gain? How are we doing so far?)They take our belief or unbelief to a distance that we have never gone to see if we will stand firm or give up on the promises Yashuah has promised, (a good life abundant in all things on earth even until eternity). And while we, as an individual or as the whole, go through, we develop a revelatory understanding (through Yashuah), of our self and make known to our self how much we can withstand under the pressure of what is to be. And it gives all of us (who truly believes) the capacity and strength (through Yashuah) to recover quickly from difficulties of the unknown.
Because of impending disasters and dangers our Lord and Saviour, Yashuah, went to the cross, willingly, giving up His life so that we, under the cover of His wings, may live.
If we look at our world, from then up until now, choices are being given, during the changes, to us to make it a better place. But when we stubbornly, go the changes that must occur for it to happen, we limit our choices. We can get on board with Yashuah’s plan for our life and ride the winds of change (even while uncertain) to higher grounds. Or we can suffer through them (with the world, Satan), trying to take care of them our self.
What are you going to do with this unprecedented (never done or known before) change? How are you going to handle it? Are you going to embrace it with the help of Yashuah (knowing that with change comes maturity in our thoughts, speech and actions = lessons learned and a closer walk with Yashuah). Or are you going to fight it with fear and frustration, which gives you a closer walk with the enemy, Satan.
So, do not give up on Yashuah, who is life. Yes, life as we knew it has changed and it will continue to do so because that is what people and things do. These changes come about to usually enhance that which is being changed: making it better for the greater good. (Take a log for instance. If left in the woods, long enough, it decays and turn into compost (natural fertilizer) for all the plants that care to take resident upon it, to grow, it changes). However, as stated above it can cause some, to go the opposite direction. Know that YHWH only allows to happen, that which is for the greater good of those who love Him and call on His name.
In our lifetime the majority of us have not experienced something so drastic and of this magnitude, as with what is happening today (but in the past Yashuah has allowed, diseases, in many form, viral or bacterial, to take a heavy toll on its host until the host (we) have built up not only a natural but first a spiritual immunity to it. Things will continue to change until it has become what YHWH intended it to be in the first place: a garden of Eden where everyone loved, respect and cared for one another, even the animals. The One (Yashuah), Who holds the key to great Change, is the engine that gives us strength and helps us go forward even when we do not feel like it: to walk with us, to carry us, to help us soar over, under or through our problems; to crawl with us , if need be, and eventually take us home to be with our LORD; in other words He will never leave nor forsake us; not even in this or all other messes man either creates or help to exaggerate, He is there. Our concern is to continue to seek the LORD and remain in His presence through this whole ordeal and beyond. God is going to allow and do whatever it takes to bring about His eternal and natural plan for our salvation, spiritually (you must bring your heart and head in it) and naturally (let others see your light shine to know that your change was for the good and of God). Gods got it no worry no fear.
So, for all that is happening and that which is going to happen, while you are facing these hard and uncertain time, for comfort, encouragement, inspiration, reassurance, hope, and truth, of Yashuah’s promises, read these scriptures.
