EMBRACE CHANGE: STOP GOING AROUND THE SAME MOUNTAIN

EMBRACE CHANGE: STOP GOING AROUND THE SAME MOUNTAIN

YOU EITHER EMBRACE THIS CHANGE WITH GLADNESS STEPPING INTO YASHUAH’S MARVELOUS LIGHT; KNOWING YHWH, THROUGH YASHUAH, IS GETTING READY TO DO A NEW THING IN YOUR LIFE EVEN FROM WHAT SEEMS TO BE TRAGIC. OR YOU CAN GO STARK RAVING MAD, KNOWING THAT SATAN HAS CONTROL OF YOUR LIFE AND HE IS TOTALLY KEEPING YOU IN THE DARK, LEADING YOU TO DESTRUCTION.

A question some of us may ask our self is “why is it that we were or always are, it seems, to be going through the valleys of life?” We never reach that privileged pivotal point where we get to scale the mountain, reach the top so we can just set down and rest: for just a little while. Some days we come close, but every day presents us with the same, another similar or worst challenge, then the day before.  Why do you think it is that way? Well, I will share with you a little secret, they are lessons to learn, or rows to hoe (I love this saying because my mom use to say it, and to me she was the wisest woman I knew). We are subject to “do overs” because we are going in a direction (of our life), that requires so much more of us than we are prepared to, care to or have, to give.  And most of all we require Yashuah by our sides (which He is already we only need to activate Him by asking of Him).

Psalm 118:6-9 6 The Lord is on my side; I will not fear. What can man do to me? 7 The Lord is on my side as my helper; I shall look in triumph on those who hate me. 8 It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in man. 9 It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in princes.

It takes changing the way we think, view, or do things to get out of our rut we have dug for self to make our life and those around us better. It is not rocket science and if it were, we have the greatest scientist, Yashuah, ever, in our corner, on our side. Yet, we continue to go around the mountain, complaining, grumbling, mumbling and blaming, every step of the way, until eventually we lose sight of our purpose and can, if we do not hold on to the LORD’s hand of hope, mercy and grace, fall from YAH’s grace and mercy (YAH never take it away from us but we refuse it and turn away from Him). We must stop setting our hope and sight on man and put it on Whom it should be placed, desiring a more positive answer and receiving them.  The most wonderful thing is that God has the best plan for our life. He wants us to hope, trust, believe, and to prosper (spiritually and naturally). If we trust in YHWH, through Yashuah, and allow the changes, He will cause to take place in us, to grow us to become more like Yashuah (Jesus Christ) in our response and action throughout the day, then we are promised that all things will work together for good for those who love Him and keep His commandments.

Now I am not talking about the little things that come; usually to smooth the rough edges of a change, that has happened, signifying the end of that particular one or to prepare us for one. But I am talking about continuous mega changes, one that takes a big bite out of our mind, body, and soul (a lot out), so that it makes room for a radical turnabout (lot to be put in) in our life.  These are the kinds of changes, (which includes sins committed and we are not aware of) that takes place in the extremely low parts of the valleys and usually lasts for an extended period of time. They are the most excruciating ones and the ones where we are most aware of our Lord, Yashuah, is by our side.  As we converse, lean and depend on Him, He will let us know that they are our building blocks, used to help us mature in our relationship with Him, thus giving us the ability to love and care for others; to endure the tests of these times and times to come. When we ask for a lot of the LORD, He requires a lot from us. The changes we experience can be equated to our test of faith, trust, and belief in Yashuah for everything.  Realize this, that when a lot is required of you, from YHWH, (to prepare you for what is next for you to do according to His will), He will allow you to experience more valleys than mountains, using them as an integral starting points of growth; but how  we grow is up to us. It is not a physical one but a mental and spiritual one. For us to be healthy mentally we need and exceptional spiritual life, one we lean on when we cannot see our way or when our path is crystal clear: always. Gods got it no worry no fear.

Psalm 18:2

2 The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.

Romans 12:1-2

1 Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. 2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

Philippians 4:6-7

6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Philippians 4:6-8

6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. 8 Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.

2 Corinthians 4:16-18

16 Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. 17 For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. 18 So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

Lamentations 3:21-23

21 Yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope: 22 Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. 23 They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.

Psalm 103:1-5

1 Praise the LORD, my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name. 2 Praise the LORD, my soul, and forget not all his benefits— 3 who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, 4 who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, 5 who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

Luke 12:4848 But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed
