COMMITMENT: THE REASON TO COMMIT FULL-ON TO GOD THROUGH YASHUAH, JESUS, IS SECURITY IN, LOVE, STRENGTH, POWER, AUTHORITY, BOLDNESS, AND COURAGE; ALL NEEDED TO STAND AGAINST THE WICKEDNESS IN THIS WORLD.

When you commit your life to God, you are given the sense of true love, strength, power, authority, boldness, and courage, by the Father, to do all things, through His Son and our Saviour, Jesus, Christ. You will not worry nor be overly concerned with that which is going on around you. Why? Because God’s plan for all of us has been established and when we commit ourselves to Him, He will make sure we have everything we need and most of our wants. Amen. (Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you).

When we commit our life to God through accepting Yashuah, Jesus, the first thing we should began to do, is align (Study the Word in truth), our mind, ears, eyes, mouth, and heart with His Word (Jesus). This will help us to understand the true meaning of commitment and to become in tune with and know the love and goodness of YHWH, God, through Yashuah, Jesus, which helps us to do righteous things: be able to share the Truth with others without adding or taking away from it; get wisdom at the beginning of the relationship so we can see the outline of our purpose as a whole. (2 Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth).

Commitment is putting your complete faith, hope, and belief in God, through His Son Jesus. It will strengthen us to stand in an enlightened silence while in the beginning, middle, and end of our learning process (the trials, troubles, tribulations and even the lean good times). This does not mean a position where you are not taking part as the LORD directs but one where you are at rest, quiet in your spirit, to be able to hear, comprehend, and receive His directives and accept the guidance thereof. When we are facing challenges, we are to be reminded that our example went before us. He suffered all that man would suffer, died, was buried, rose on the third day, and now He sits on the Right Hand of YHWH, yet His Spirit lies within us and His life given (our Lord Jesus), as the example for us, to commit and be used as beacons to the world: encouraging, strengthening, and inspiring us not to continue to make mistakes, in the way we treat God, ourselves, one another, or lusting after the evil gains of another (but live committed, righteous lives, in Jesus’ name. Amen. (Psalm 37:5-7 5 Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass. 6 And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday. 7 Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass). (1 Peter 2:18-21 18 Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward. 19 For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully. 20 For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God. 21 For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:)

Committing yourself to Christ brings you to a new level in the relationship with Him. It is one thing to give your life to Christ (agree to all the love He has for you to receive from Him, through you, to others), be baptized (go down in the water depicting the washing away of sin, renewing life as Jesus did, receive the Holy Spirit to guide, keep, and protect, as Jesus told us He would. This is all well and good but we, as His saints, are expected of God, man does not matter, to endure the lessons, He sets before us. It is His will for us to come out renewed, with a brand new mindset (way we think), new sight (the way God see), the way we hear (hearing what and how we hear, from God and others). And of course, last but not least, when we have gotten all the other senses in line, the change in our hearts to be able to receive so we can know, not just think, but know what His Word (our faithful and true example and guide) is meant to do in our lives and for others through our lives. The only way we will be able to see God’s plan for man and your individual purpose clearly, is to make the commitment in Jesus; it will take time and effort on our part to carry out this show of true love, faith, trust, and belief we must have. (2 Timothy 1:12-14 12 For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day. 13 Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. 14 That good thing which was committed unto thee keep by the Holy Ghost which dwelleth in us).

As we can see, in these trying times, opportunities to prove our true commitment to our God through tests, daily, are all around us. These are lessons which are being instructed, are being delivered and allow through many avenues and are constant. Mmmm! Could a message from our Father be in them?  (Maybe due to the shortness of time before Jesus’ return); They are, it seems, at different levels for different people asking and showing us how to commit to be ready for the Day of our Lord. Today’s teaching that are taught by the enemy includes, but are not limited to, the world’s determination to rid itself of YHWH, God (never going to happen). YHWH, God’s courses, on the commitment to Him, to avoid all the stress, strain, and uncertainties while going through troubles, trials, and tribulations; enduring hatred, anger, blatant and not so blatant prejudice, blasphemy against God, bigotry, greed, ultra-lying, stealing, killing, manipulating, pick a thing, contrary to the Ten Commandments are offered free of charge, debts already paid. Unlike the swindlers of the world, God does not collect on a debt twice. Our commitment to YHWH, God through Yashuah, Jesus, our Christ is most important; the difference between life and death. Yes, that is where we are today confused beyond stupidity, with an outright disconnected, disobedient, and uncommitted attitude toward God’s Word. Desperately seeking that which you will never find standing in place of God, who even as we are so bogged down deep in sin and in our very own ignorance, stands at the door of our hearts, wanting us to commit so He can come in. (Matthew 24:12-16 12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. 13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. 15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) 16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:) GODS GOT IT NO WORRY NO FEAR. AMEN

Keep your focus on Jesus, don’t set your sights on the wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness forever.

God loves us so much that He sent us the prime example to look to in all walks of our life. He knew we would have a hard time maneuvering our life so He gave us a gift so valuable and precious; One that will take us through any storm of life; the trials; troubles, and tribulations if we allow Him. But first we must make up our mind and commit ourselves to His Word, Will, and Way and stop looking to man for answers they cannot provide. When we try and look beyond His Word (to go in another direction) we find all sorts of things that are contrary to YHWH’s Word, Yashuah. Who makes it clear that He is Alpha and Omega, the beginning, and the end of all that was, is, and will be, the Root of our salvation, the Bright and Morning Star. With eyes stayed focus on Him, it may get rocky but as we stay our course, He will see us through. (Revelation 22:13-16 13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning, and the end, the first and the last. 14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. 15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie. 16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star).

As it is today, in the book of Jude, people who traveled aimlessly through life, not accomplishing their purpose nor helping others are called “wandering stars.” This observation of man’s sporadic way of life is based on the things we tend to put our hopes, dreams, goals, and even commitment in; it is viewed as another nautical allusion and follows a wandering star, which does not maintain its course, it is not even, has not uniformity, susceptible of change. When man open himself up to the wrong guide, he is liable to the changes in his life and those around him. He can and will alter God’s course of his life by focusing on the point he has placed in front of him to gauge the process, the procedure, and the progress of his journey. And in doing so, when all fail, (eventually it will since you do not have Jesus) man becomes mutable, jumping from one thing to another, fickle in his seriousness to commit due to fear, unsteady and will not stick to any fixed plan or business, and inconstant (subject to change of opinion, inclination, or purpose in mid-stream of theirs or others life. Yes, it is sad yet serious that man has placed such a high regard on himself and tried to remove YHWH, GOD THE FATHER, from every walk of his life that everything he touches now, results in disaster, in some form or another. He is not firm in resolution to engage the operation or process of separating the parts which compose good and evil, the thing that seems to be the complex idea or a mixed body, which plagues us, because of his ignorance and arrogance, will not seek direction from God, through Jesus, and the Holy Spirit, the ultimate guide. To seek out, find, and get to know our fixed point, presents us with a purpose and determination of mind and show us the reason we cling to the effect of the “Fixed Star.” Jesus exemplifies our purpose’s, firmness, steadiness, and constancy in the execution of our gifts, talents, and abilities, and while doing so imply, to us, that we who choose to walk according to His Word, Will, and Way are the courageous one; to the movement of the Fixed Star, Yashuah, Jesus.

The Mariners (one whose occupation is to assist in navigating ships), used the fixed stars – not the planets – to guide their ships over the trackless sea. Jesus is our fixed Star which was sent, by the Father, as He uses the Holy Spirit (The Navigator of our lives); He lifts us up during the floods, guide us over the hills and mountains, elevate us when we find ourselves down in the valleys, take us through the fires, anchor us in the rough seas, and quiet all the threatening things, that tries to keep us from living the abundant life Jesus promised and at the end of  our destination, eternal life with Him.

It is so amazing, as well as fascinating, to see how the different authors throughout the Old and New Testament Books of the Bible viewed the greed, mean, self-centered, ungodly man, who then as now ignored God promises, deliverances, and blessings. As we continue in the Book of Jude, we see that he remains focused on a practical example of how fickle man’s understanding of God’s plan for our life is. One very good example is the way he compared it to the sea. And refers to the false ministers (those who claim to men of God, only to get what they want; fame and I must say short-lived glory), as “raging waves of the sea.”  When you see a person(s) that are always at odds with someone or even themselves, when they are around, view them as dark in your light of love. They go about without fear of any consequences, pretending to be more than they are without shame. Yet they are never satisfied with the state in which YHWH has assigned them, so they try and run ahead of Him and make it happen for themselves and crash into life’s walls; like waves crashing against a rocky cliff. As they are going through the ignorance of this time, they puff themselves up in pretense, to make others look and think more highly of them than they truly are. (Jude 1:12-13 These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots; 13 Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever).

Wherever they go they are the ones which cause confusion and conflict int the church, in families, in the world. Because when a storm hits its wind-tossed waves, double minded, and instability is seen and felt in everything they do. (James 1:6-8 6 But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. 7 That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. 8 Such a person is double-minded and unstable in all they do).

In the end, they will cause problems for the whole; tossing those unexpected into reefs along the shore of life; also, before you know it those who are oblivious to the deception, will become enveloped by it and eventually lead away from the truth to the lie. But since most of them elected and ordained (a chuckle) themselves as masters of the Word, and are supposed to be teachers of the Word and leaders, their fate in judgement will be more strict. (James 3:1-2 My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation. 2 For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body).

These are the ones who are supposed to be our leaders and teachers and, guides for those who has not gained the wisdom, knowledge, nor understanding as how God’s path is supposed to look, for each, so they are all over the place! They are so eager and hungry for release and relief that they, with itching ears, will go here and there, this way and that; following those who cannot see themselves and frankly, do not know how to find their own way (wandering starts). So, they fall off a cliff and because those who are behind them are so close, they fall right behind him. (Matthew 15:14 Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch). They are want-to-be guides that cannot be trusted. These are the ones you should never seek advice from them because eventually it will come back and bite you.

There are those who are destined, through ordination by God, to fall under condemnation but we are given an opportunity through Christ our Lord and Saviour, not to follow. (Jude 1:4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ). Could it be a Test? Because during their lifetime they are definitely referenced to the raging waves of the sea, churning up a great amount of foam only to see it dissipate with the coming of the sun (Son). They will play out their role as evil doers, spouting excessively proud and boastful about their achievements or possessions, with all the grandeur that can be mustered by themselves. But godly eyes, (those anchored in Christ) sees them for what they are: disgraceful deeds. And when it is time to close the final curtain of their life, they will have one last call; the one where (no repentance is done) the blackness of darkness is reserved for eternity. But God has given all a way to eternal life, by way of Jesus, Christ. We need only to turn toward Him and let Him guide us. In Him we shall live. (Ezekiel 18:25-28 25 Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal. Hear now, O house of Israel; Is not my way equal? are not your ways unequal? 26 When a righteous man turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and dieth in them; for his iniquity that he hath done shall he die. 27 Again, when the wicked man turneth away from his wickedness that he hath committed, and doeth that which is lawful and right, he shall save his soul alive. 28 Because he considereth, and turneth away from all his transgressions that he hath committed, he shall surely live, he shall not die).

WE MUST ALWAYS LOOK TO THE FIXED STAR, OUR LORD AND SAVIOUR YASHUAH, JESUS, OUR CHRIST: HE IS OUR SOURCE FOR WHATEVER.

GODS GOT IT NO WORRY NO FEAR

People are following fools, due to the lack of belief and trust in YHWH, God, through Yashuah, Jesus, Christ.  It has been a plan of man, to “remove” God from His own equation (laughable moment) in order to do as he pleases with no consequences. So, man is seeking a “counterfeit” form of godliness, to stroke his own ego and try and place him on a level, higher than heaven or above our God. With this continuous hype, a whole bunch of people are being sucked in and encouraged (through social media, news, television programing, some churches (now that’s a really sad fate). It is a shame because most, especially the young ones, are not being introduced to the Word, nor taught the ramification of its content. So, who do they follow. The one who is speaking the loudest, whether it is right or wrong. Follow a fool, you’ll become his monkey.

At one point or another, as we get a little deeper in our walk with YHWH, through Yashuah, we step back and take a look at the progress (non at all, a little, or a great amount. And depending on our character, courage, peace with God and self, perseverance, patience, and the belief in God’s promises, we react. At this junction in our lives, seeing a “progression”, in someone’s life who is not as spiritual or spiritual at all, some are tempted to follow the lead of a person we who was, is, and will continue to work contrary to the will of God (unless He turns him around); in our hearts we knew was up to no good (God spoke to us); we hesitated (heard and was convicted), some turned back (answered the voice of God), most proceeded forward (answered the calling of the world-sin).

The ones who kept going, continued due to their loyalty to man; based on pure fear of rejection, or being ostracized (excluded from society or a group), a practice which has been initiated to force or gently guide the weak-minded person to subjection, away from God (this is the prominent and most important one), to the way of the world. You will find that when you continue to follow in footsteps, OTHER THAN CHRIST, JESUS, with each step it gets harder and harder to determine your path, from the one you are following.

When you are not anchored and securely connected to Christ anything that sounds promising is easy to consider. You look at the outside of others, seem-to- be-perfect, life and start reasoning with yourself as to how dreadful or unproductive your life has been. But with the introduction of someone (other than God’s) point of view it will be better if and when you do this, go here, invest in this. Yashuah came so that we as individuals and as a collective, can have life more abundant; meaning each one’s purpose is to enhance his/her life and each other’s, not mimic or clone. So, to avoid the ill-gotten fate of following in the footsteps of a foolish person, you must be about God’s business, and He will be about yours!

Saying that to say this. You need to stop taking so much of a personal interest in other’s thoughts or point of view, concerning your life and stick to the plan laid out by God, for it. You need to have and develop visions, goals, and dreams (with the guidance of the Holy Spirit) of your own. (Proverbs 29:18 18 Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he). With God, He only encourages and inspire you to live your life, according to your purpose; sometimes it takes a little time finding out what exactly it is, but the journey with God, by way of Jesus, will be filled with such wisdom, (it will take) to follow our God and accomplish your goals, dreams, destiny. And He gives you the knowledge to understand how to use the wisdom given. Because when you get caught up in others’ opinions, feelings, suggestions or what they think, or would do, you lose sight of yourself and God’s gifts and talents He has given you to use in your purpose; all the God-given contribution you have to offer to your fellow man; you cannot bring them to life because you become so caught up in someone else’s. Do you think they are going to help you with yours or accept your thoughts, feelings, etc., No they are not. Now I am not saying do not take the advice of a seasoned saint or one who you have seen in action and know that they love God with all their hearts, have your and others’ interest at heart. God has ordained this as part of their ministry so run to them for part of the knowledge. But never forget that the main source of all that we will ever need comes from God’s Word, Jesus.

In essence it is wrong to try and be someone you are not. Or do something you are not ordained, by God, through Jesus, to do. If you know of a truly righteous man/woman, which God intentionally put in your life, sure good examples and sound Biblical advice are always welcome. But do not try and be someone YHWH, God has not ordained you to be. Because when you do you are saying Yashuah, Jesus, came and bled, died, and rose for nothing. But when you stay your course, planned by the Blood of our Lord and Saviour, you will be established in the LORD; you will find Truth, Wisdom, Righteousness, Health, Peace and Joy, Knowledge, Understanding, Authority, Gladness, Excellence, and the Purpose of it all, Eternal life. So, stay on the path that has been given you and work the work that has been planned; don’t look to the left nor to the right at others path, but look ahead to our Saviour; God-made-man. GODS GOT IT NO WORRY NO FEAR!

Proverbs 12:15-28 15 The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that hearkeneth unto counsel is wise. 16 A fool’s wrath is presently known: but a prudent man covereth shame. 17 He that speaketh truth sheweth forth righteousness: but a false witness deceit. 18 There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword: but the tongue of the wise is health. 19 The lip of truth shall be established for ever: but a lying tongue is but for a moment. 20 Deceit is in the heart of them that imagine evil: but to the counsellors of peace is joy. 21 There shall no evil happen to the just: but the wicked shall be filled with mischief. 22 Lying lips are abomination to the Lord: but they that deal truly are his delight. 23 A prudent man concealeth knowledge: but the heart of fools proclaimeth foolishness. 24 The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the slothful shall be under tribute. 25 Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop: but a good word maketh it glad. 26 The righteous is more excellent than his neighbour: but the way of the wicked seduceth them. 27 The slothful man roasteth not that which he took in hunting: but the substance of a diligent man is precious. 28 In the way of righteousness is life: and in the pathway thereof there is no death.

2 Peter 2:13-19 13And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you; 14Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children: 15Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness; 16But was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with man’s voice forbad the madness of the prophet. 17These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever. 18For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error. 19While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage.

Proverbs 21:20 20 There is treasure to be desired and oil in the dwelling of the wise; but a foolish man spendeth it up.

THINK ABOUT THE PROMISES YOU MAKE TO GOD, WHILE EXPERIENCING ILLNESS, FEAR, CONFLICT, AND CONFUSION

Our promises are our bond between YHWH, God, through Yashuah, Jesus, and our fellow man. There would be a lot less conflict, confusion, sickness, and diseases if we would keep our promises to God and man.

It is amazing that when we are experiencing illness, (mind, heart, body, or soul), we make all sorts of promises; promise to walk in love, peace, patience, humility. But once we have come through that valley, we immediately put self, back on our self-made mountain top and go back to the same old routine; complaining so we remain, instead of praising to be raised from a cycle of no progress; YHWH, God wants praises.

As we go through the suffering, pains, and torments of life, Yah, God, wants us to learn and be elevated from what we experience. Thus, growing in our relationship with Him, not simply remaining in the same state we were in before He brought us through the ordeals. We do not promise God that we are going to do something and then don’t even try to do it. This is what happens to most of us (not saying, at the time, your heart is not in the right place), and it becomes a cycle of repenting and forgetting until it finally dawns on them that God, through Jesus, is trying to tell or show them something. They become so repentant, and humble during the illness but as soon as we get well, we forget promises made, and go on our little merry way until He allows something new or the same thing to visit us.

These days, as long ago, we find it necessary to constantly call on our Father, through His Son Yashuah, Jesus, promising to do all the righteous things if God would make us feel better by immediately taking the pain and hurt away. But we need to understand why YHWH allow illnesses and diseases to come upon us, His children.  It is not always to chastise but, in many ways, it is part of His strengthening process, for our benefit, in order for us to be able to stand a chance in combat while fighting this constant battle, (warring with the devil, who is trying to take over our mind, body, and soul), between good and evil.

So, the next time you are ill, going through troubles, trials, or tribulations, think about what brought you to this point. And during your time of sickness, it is better that you do not make a promise to God because He takes them seriously. It angers Him when you let your mouth cause you to sin against Him. It is better to ask for His will to be done and prepare for it to be so. Thank Him in advance and when it materializes welcome it. Because if you continue to make empty promises to our Father, you may look around and all that you think has been accomplished will be gone.

Give God true praises and all the glory and honor (knowing He can do all things) but during your time of sickness or going through certain situation, do not throw in promises you know you are not going to or try to keep.

One thing for sure, you can count on YHWH, God, through Yashuah, Jesus, to do and that is to keep all of His promises. But we must stand firm, on His promises not wavering; we may tetter but do not fall. GODS GOT IT NO WORRY NO FEAR.

Numbers 30:2

2 If a man vow a vow unto the Lord, or swear an oath to bind his soul with a bond; he shall not break his word, he shall do according to all that proceedeth out of his mouth.

1 John 2:3-5

3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. 4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 5 But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.

Ecclesiastes 5:4-6

4 When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it; for he hath no pleasure in fools: pay that which thou hast vowed. 5 Better is it that thou

shouldest not vow, than that thou shouldest vow and not pay. 6 Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin; neither say thou before the angel, thatit was an error: wherefore should God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thine hands?

Proverbs 20:25

25 It is a snare to the man who devoureth that which is holy, and after vows to make enquiry.

‎ Joshua 23:14

14 And, behold, this day I am going the way of all the earth: and ye know in all your hearts and in all your souls, that not one thing hath failed of all the good things which the Lord your God spake concerning you; all are come to pass unto you, and not one thing hath failed thereof.

THE SPEED OF GOD’S LOVE IN OUR LIFE IS NOT DETERMINED BY HOW OPENED OR HOW MUCH WE LOVE HIM (HIS LOVE NEVER CHANGES) BUT WE HINDER AND LIMIT OUR BLESSING BY IGNORING HIM.

The speed of God’s love moves quickly in our lives (when you submit to Him) and make those who truly love Him and others successful and prosperous, in every aspect of their lives, spiritually and naturally. God’s Love cannot be measured by man’s calculations but only by the Words of His mouth and the death of His Son, our Lord and Saviour, Yashuah, Jesus. God’s love moves so fast and is so precise, purposeful, powerful, and productive; it is given, not because you or I deserve it but because He loves us. No matter what we do, YAH’s love for us never changes and it never fails (He does not care for some of our thoughts or actions) but due to the fact that He “is” LOVE, He, by His own choice, has loved us the same from the moment He created us.  (1 Chronicles 16:34 O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever). We ought to love each other as YHWH loves us. (1 John 4:7-12 7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. 8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. 9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. 10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. 12 No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us).

When you open your eyes and realize that with God there is no order of progression when it comes to Him loving us. Unlike man, YAH does not say “if you do this, I will love you more; you move up on the love scale. YHWH, God’s love, shown through our Lord and Saviour, Yashuah, Jesus is the only One Who is going to cover and save us, from this world’s grasp which seems to be the slowly emptying itself out of the sure love of Jesus and all the good fruits from YAH and replacing it with hate. To see and experience the consuming effect of God’s love, we must accept it, and even if we only apply a tiny bit of genuinely true love to any trial, trouble, tribulation, circumstance, situation, or problem the outcome will amaze you. Why it is so amazing, you ask? Because God is love. And the presence of His love fills the situation or circumstance with Himself so when you bring Him into the equations of your life there would be no room for blatantly participating in evil doings; the works of the flesh; (Galatians 5:19-21 19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God).

Inviting God into your life and submitting to His love is like applying a total shield of perfect covering (YHWH, God) over you; rubbing that problem or trouble all over with the oil or essence of our God, our Father. And allow Him to cover you with His love, in the good and bad times.  He may not keep everything at bay, we all are going to have a little rain in our lives, especially that which is needed as life lessons, but while we go through, every season of our lives, His love will keep us strong and our love for Him will be fanned by our enduring faithfulness. So, we always are to be encouraged (even if you have to encourage yourself in the Lord; don’t wait on others, it may not come), get into His Word to get more understanding of the depth, breath, width, and height of His love and what all it entails for us. And know that because of Yah’s great love for us we do not have to be afraid because His Love, Jesus, got it no worry no fear. (Psalm 91:1-7 1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. 2 I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. 3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. 4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. 5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; 6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. 7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. (Psalm 42:11 11 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God).

There is but One Source of True Love, YHWH, GOD, (The Father of all generation, Who gave His only Son, Yashuah, Jesus, for this sin-sick world, that even deep in sin, we can repent, He will, out of an undying love, forgive us and receive us as His own; now that is the ultimate Love, which only God possess). God’s love will never cease and when we praise, pray, and persevere (submitting to His Word, Will, and Way) He continues to cover us all over, (like the oil that ran down Aaron’s beard, covering him entirely) stirring up blessings, not for you only but for everyone you encounter and surely for your entire little nation. (Psalm 133 1 Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! 2 It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron’s beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments; 3 As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the Lord commanded the blessing, even life for evermore).

Who is Love? God is Love. He can be nothing else. (1 John 4:16: And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them). And as our love-laden Father, created man, all the love that He is was deposited in us. YHWH, God, is and have an all-inclusive LOVE. No one is omitted from the reach of His Love and the fullness it entails. And as we grow in the true love of God, through Christ, our Lord and Saviour we will recognize, that with our God given love we will be able to survive this world and all that we would have to endure. God is “LOVE” and when we submit to Him, entirely, we will experience the full extent of His amazing, all-encompassing, everlasting love; toward Him, self, and others.

What is love? We are not talking about the ooey gooey feeling one has when they are seeking or have found a person to spend their life with nor the kind that friends share. But we are talking about the Love of God, a love that does not constantly have self on its mind but consider and do well toward others. It is the Agape love which through Jesus, covers allour sins; making us worthy to seek the blessings of God. 1 Corinthians 13:4–8a (ESV) Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. (1 John 4:7-12 7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. 8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. 9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. 10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. 12 No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us).

Is it too hard to practice love? No. First love YHWH, God, then love self (so you will be able to love others), then love others. (Matthew 22:37-40 37 Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”) We must lift up our voices and praise through songs, words, and actions honoring God for His loving kindness and for His Truth. He gave us His magnifies Word, our Lord Jesus, Whose name is above all names, and wrapped Him in love as an example to us; follow His lead. Like any other habit or worthwhile (which it definitely is) effort, it takes a willing mind, heart, and spirit to make anything a part of God’s Truth, in your life. (Psalm 138:1-3 I will praise thee with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise unto thee. 2 I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name. 3 In the day when I cried thou answeredst me, and strengthenedst me with strength in my soul).

When we cry out in any of the situations or circumstances, trials, troubles, or tribulations that surround us, daily, He will hear us and strengthen us to continue through. Standing on God’s word is an important step to build a sturdy foundation on which true love for one another is based. From this foundation (Jesus), we build our love for one another, putting forth an effort, every day; this includes our hopes, dreams, and the ability to make sacrifices for our brother or sister without hesitation. To practice love is a God-given art form, requiring the desire and commitment, to reach down from within and use the goodness Jesus instilled in us, to understand it according to Yah’s Word, walk in it according to His Way, and pursue and remain steadfastness in it according to His Will.  (Ephesians 4:32 Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you). (Matthew 7:24-29 24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: 25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. 26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: 27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it. 28 And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine: 29 For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes).

Why are we to love? Does love conquer all evil? When we are believing for change rather it is in us or someone else, one of the questions that surface, often, is “How long does it take honest, sincere, and God-laden love to pierce even the darkest darkness of the soul”. We may ask this question but only God knows the answer. So, as we continue to believe for change through love, in our families, world, self, let us continue to pray about it and know that when it is time, God will cause the answer to surface; it will not be pretentious, strained or enveloped in an unnatural façade (an outward appearance that is maintained to conceal a less pleasant or creditable reality) which the world portrays; and tends to present a false since of a worldly care. But we are to allow love to be without dissimulation (the action or offense of giving a false or misleading account of the nature of something). But tether it with a Godly love and truth. It is most important than to understand why we are to love each other and as we continue in God’s Word, and through His Son, our Lord and Saviour, serving Him in His Truth, there will be an eventually; laid out before you, simple, bringing joy, peace, passion together for the good of the whole; sin cannot share the same space with YHWH GOD’S LOVE, YASHUAH, JESUS, OUR CHRIST. (1 John 2:16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world). (Romans 12:9-12 9 Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good. 10 Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another; 11 Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord; 12 Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;

Our love for one another should be borne out of truth and harmony. When we attack evil with love it dispels it, takes away its power and brings it into subjection to us, not us to it.  We love because Jesus told us to love noting that He loved us first and that this is His high expectation of us. When we love there is no room for hate or evil. Hate may try to squeeze in, but true love fills any space if it is real and hate (all the other ungodly things). (Romans 12:21 Do not be overcome by evil, (hatred), but overcome evil with good (love).

With a quickness we must learn to wait patiently on Yah, preserver in Christ’s love (honestly and sincerely), and not try and present a deceitful side of yourself to God (He knows you, so that is impossible to present a different person, than who you really are, to Him), self, and others so our journey, here on earth, will be, not just what we can imagine, but all that YHWH planned it to be, fulfilling the purpose He has ordained for you and me. (Jeremiah 1:5 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations).

The truth of God’s Word, Jesus, is all about LOVE. Jesus showed us perfect love when He laid down His life for a world He knew would be immersed in sin. That’s the greatest of all love. Let’s look at it like this, if loving God, self, and others is wrong we do not want to be the world’s definition of right. We want to strive to love according to God’s standards. Because love according to man’s stands, has created lots of conflict and confusion, causing a whole lot of mess. But the accuracy and speed of God’s all-encompassing Love, according to His Word, Will, and Way (very high standards) creates and promotes, peace, harmony, patience, perseverance, tolerance; all the good fruits which we were given, when we first received Christ. These are all the gifts which cover the mess and rid the heart, mind, and spirit of it (Galatians 5:22-23 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law). But we, with the help of the Holy Spirit, once we have truly accepted it, must cultivate our God-given love and gifts, and constantly monitor the speed at which, we allow it to take root in our hearts, grow, and so that we can share it with others. We must be open and aware of love, expected of us so that it will grow and continue to grow, as we move from glory to glory, maturing in Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour. (2 Thessalonians 3:5 May the Lord direct your hearts into God’s love and Christ’s perseverance). (John 15:12-13 12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. 13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends).

GODS GOT IT NO WORRY NO FEAR

TICK TOCK ITS TIME TO STOP AND BEGIN TO LOVE, LIVE, AND LAUGH IN THE TIME WE ARE GIVEN; ENJOYING EVERY MOMENT; LOVING AND HELPING EACH OTHER.  (Ecclesiastes 3:1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:)

Where has your time gone? Nowhere. It has always been where it is in the measure it has always been. It did not disappear, cut itself short, or refuse to be, but remain a constant, then, now, until the end of it; which only God, the creator, knows. He has set it according to His purposed plan for you and me. Man cannot create nor contain time. The amount for all, has been given by God, to His satisfaction. Now what we do with it is the question. For the majority of us, it may be wise to carefully consider changing the content and context of your allowed time in the space given you by God, through Jesus, (for the best; reaping all that is good and righteous from it) and stop trying to run rough shod over everyone else’s life (time). I suggest you, I, and all who are chosen, take a que from our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, and follow Him. Because in the 33 years He graced the earth with His presence, He love, laughed, and lived His life (according to YHWH’s plan); did more good than we will in our lifetime; He did it with passion, purpose, and an undeniable presence.

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

3 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: 2 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; 3 A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; 4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; 5 A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; 6 A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; 7 A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; 8 time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace. What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboureth? 10I have seen the travail, which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in it. 11He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end. 12I know that there is no good in them, but for a man to rejoice, and to do good in his life. 13And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labour, it is the gift of God. 14I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him. 15 That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God requireth that which is past.

Most people’s biggest fear of the changes (small compared to the reward) is that they will lose their way of life (ungodly) and not be able to enjoy their freedom as they would like to enjoy it. Contraire. The freedom you gain after the changes YAH makes in you will afford you all the wonderful, spirit-filled freedom a person could ever experience; filled to the brim with God’s love.

Today we are faced with so many contributing factors that set our godly use of time in a tailspin. But when you look, closely at time past, and then with your clock, watch, or whatever digital technological time piece you are using to measure your time, you will understand that whatever time it is now, will be the same time tomorrow, day after and day after. The one thing about time is that it does not change but that which is in it does; it keeps going on. God is the author of time, which does not change but He changes the instrument of His love and service to get His point across, according to the individual. We must stop our busy lives to see the subtle but powerful changes that take place all around us, every day. Those changes that enhance or destroy our lives.  See what time it is, in your life; to continue going as you are or to tether your “its” to the hem of our Lord and Savior’s garment and begin to live. Do not be concern with nay Sayers and negative people because as you allow the positive time of God’s on-going Love, to permeate and shine through you, time pieces (people) of the human race, color, and creed will get in sync with the Son; rising and going down.

Here are the factors, I see, that affects our righteous use of the time God has given us to do His service and enjoy our life.

TICK TOCK IT IS TIME TO STOP PUTTING CHRIST ON YOUR SHELF OF “IF AND WHEN” I NEED HIM: We have talked about what we feel the shelf-life of Jesus is; as we need Him, when we need Him, where we need then we will seek Him. TICK TOCK IT’S TIME TO STOP! Even though it is a figure of speech we need to take The One and Only person Who can save us from sin and ourselves, off of the little raggedy shelf we have built for Him and put Him out front to truly receive, trust, and believe Him. Because it is not a question ofif or when we need Him, we need and should depend on God, through Jesus, and the Holy Spirit, every second, minute, hour, day, etc., at all times.

TICK TOCK IT IS TIME TO STOP LIVING AN UNSTABLE, UNFULFILLED LIFE: Whether we know it or not or maybe do not want to admit it, we cannot live a stable and fulfilled life when our clock is constantly running backward, contrary to the will of God’s events in time. TICK TOCK IT’S TIME TO STOP! We must set our focus on Yashuah, Jesus, to stabilize our hopes, dreams, purpose, and passion (anchoring them in the storms of the sea of our lives), affording us the stable and fulfilled life He died to give us.

TICK TOCK IT IS TIME TO STOP WORRYING: One of the biggest weapons the enemy has in his arsenal (against us), is to worry. The next time something disturbing, uneasy, mean, fueled by anger, anything negative falls into your head (usually without warning) check the time it hits your mind and the source from where it came. If you notice that when nothing is causing you major concern, he will give you an abstract, usually very disturbing thought, (out of the blue), that will try and make you subject to its will. You feel that if you think long and hard enough about the problem, circumstance, or situation you will be able to figure it out. Not so. TICK TOCK IT IS TIME TO STOP the worrying because the more you think about it the deeper the solution seems to go and most of the time disappears, leaving you more confused than when you started.Worrying is the cause of most of our dilemmas.  God told us not to worry but give it “ALL” to Him and He will take care of it. (Mind you, you must do whatever part He has for you to do). After all, it is your life!

TICK TOCK IT IS TIME TO STOP COMPLAINING AND BLAMING: To feel sorry for self while blaming others for your plight in life). Is there something you could have, should have, would have, or can do to help it. Sometimes, just by acknowledging the fact that “we” have a concern that is totally legitimate (the basis of its reality falls on self), taking a good look at it through the eyes of God’s Love (Jesus), an assessing it, we will get an answer to the root of the problem: the answer to the cause is usually Me, yourself, and I. Yes, there will always be outside forces to try and destroy our trust and faith in Yashuh, Jesus, but that is what their purposes are to try. When we allow them to infiltrate our minds and heart the confusion begins. TICK TOCK IT’S TIME TO STOP! We are to recognize them, pray for wisdom, knowledge, and understanding as to how to approach them and then be wide open to the Holy Ghost’s prompting and guidance on how to defeat them. Stop complaining about anything and get a firm grip onto YHWH’s hand, which has the sure plan for your life, and let go of the world’s delusion. Knowing that whatever YHWH, GOD, through Yashuah, Jesus, allow in our lives, with You, we can embrace it with boldness and courage.

TICK TOCK IT IS TIME TO STOP MOVING IN THE WRONG DIRECTION OR NOT MOVING AT ALL, BECAUSE OF HESITATION AND PROCRASTINATION: Believe it or not all of us have been given a directive by God. And through Jesus we are to fulfill it. But we must first learn how to move toward it by actual movement on our part. We cannot sit by and through fear, hesitation, and procrastination and watch life pass us by, then pretend we do not care because we chose not to catch on, no matter how bumpy the ride. TICK TOCK IT’S TIME TO STOP! Yes, it is time out for the unnatural fear of man, procrastination, and hesitation, three of the most useless, things we can do. Eventually what you tried to get around or ignore will come back so it is better to go full speed ahead, with Yashuah, through what is in front of you; it will eventually be that which is behind you. Be about the business of receiving Jesus, as your Lord and Saviour, studying God’s Word (Jesus), doing God’s will, and walking in Gods Way; stop being fearful, stop the hesitation, and stop the procrastination. (Romans 13:11-13 11 And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. 12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light. 13 Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying). GODS GOT IT NO WORRY NO FEAR.
