GOD’S WARNING AGAINST SOWING DISCORD

SCRIPTURE: Proverbs 6:12-16 12 A naughty person, a wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth. 13 He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet, he teacheth with his fingers; 14 Frowardness is in his heart, he deviseth mischief continually; he soweth discord. 15 Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall he be broken without remedy.

The question for all of us is “How can a man live a wicked, perverse life, consistently and constantly in the field of evil content sowing discord daily and not having any feeling of remorse? His forte’ is spreading lies, promoting disagreements, stirring up strife, causing conflicts, fanning the fire of friction, and encouraging hostility among the very ones he is supposed to care for. And not only them but all over the world. But God has a warning for such a person. So, if you fall into this category, it may be to your advantage to get into God’s field, the field of good intentions.

A disobedient, badly behaved person; one who is just evil, morally wrong; one who live with a crooked perverse and deceitful life, turned aside from the path of God. (Proverbs 22:5 5 Thorns and snares are in the way of the froward: he that doth keep his soul shall be far from them.) Due to his greed for gain, he will not consider taking on the path of righteousness. But he continues trying to sell his lies and limitations to those whom he thinks are ignorant and the ones who are: they follow without questioning the reason or the rhyme; that’s ignorant. If we look closely at such a person when he’s speaking, we see that through the gesturing of his hand and the squinting and rolling of his eyes (winking); continuously darting sideways we can tell that he is both evil in his motivation and the results they bring.

Not only does his eyes give an indication (tell the story; shifty) of what he is doing and about to do but also the places he has gone, is going, and will go to form an evil alliance with all who are working contrary to God’s will. And with those he will help conform to their evil ways so that they can help promote his desire to be a dictator; try and destroy what the people need if and when he gets there. His destinations speak volume of the type of person he truly is and why he wants to associate with certain class of people; they may be considered good or bad. But whatever his agenda, they will play a vital and ample part in the twisted truth he portrays and continues to execute. And the gestures, of his hands, indicate that his intentions (follow the yellow brick road) are not honorable nor Godly. They are not directed nor pointing toward righteousness nor teaching believers or unbelievers alike, to develop a spiritual relationship with God nor a mature, compassionate one with his brothers; one to fit God’s plan and program not his.

Being a disobedient person to God, one whose sole purpose is self-gain; selfish, self-centered, badly behaved and morally wrong doer, is the heart of our leader today. GOD IS NOT PLEASED! But just as God loves the saints and sinners alike, He warns all of us to mend our evil ways, stop giving Satan access to our minds and hearts and allowing him to rule our lives. Everything this person does or touches becomes an abomination to our Father. This person authors nothing but evil, hurt, harm, and horrific outcomes. He plots and plans (not for others’ benefit, only him and a very limited few) but against all that the meaning of good stands for. God is watching to see who will continue to follow the beast even after all the signs of ruthless ungodliness shown every day. God is wanting those who will, to see the Light through this mess that is being stirred up by this man. And God is waiting for us to see with our heart’s eyes, understand with His mind, and come to Him before it is too late.

So, when, not if, his fall comes it will be a great fall. One he will not be able to recover (like he did the last time) from. Due to his thought process of him being superior to all around him, he will be going along, deep in his decisive deception when the remedy, all inclusive of the wickedness he showed again God and his fellow man, will come quickly. His fall will be quick and ultimately without recourse. There will be no remedy (nothing man can do) to undo what the LORD is going to allow to come upon him. So, we must continue to pray, praise, and be thankful for the love and strength it is going to take to endure. But God, Who is still in charge, still in control. GOD’S GOT IT NO WORRY NO FEAR.

HEAR GOD’S WORD, NOT THE ENEMY

A MISTAKEN VOICE: LISTEN TO HEAR AND KNOW THE VOICE YOU’RE LISTENING TO

Romans 10:17 17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

The very foundation of our faith comes through hearing God’s word; therefore, we can emphatically say that hearing God’s word is essential for the building of our faith and the foundation for our lives. In doing so, it is wise for the listener to pay close attention to what God’s message has to say, especially regarding peace with one another. We don’t just listen to hear YHWH, God’s Word but make the connection of hearing it with the action of doing it, being obedient and not turning back to doing that which is contrary to His will. But allowing God, in the name of Jesus, to give you wisdom so that when trials, troubles, and tribulations come, you will be able to stand; you have heard the righteous voice of God and built your faith (house) upon The Rock, Jesus. (Isaiah 28:23 23 Give ye ear, and hear my voice; hearken, and hear my speech. Psalm 85:8 I will hear what God the Lord will speak: for he will speak peace unto his people, and to his saints: but let them not turn again to folly. Matthew 7:24-25 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. Luke 11:28 28 But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it).

God can speak to us in various ways, including through the Bible, prayer, nature, the Holy Spirit, and even through our conscience. (Job 33:14-15 14 For God speaketh once, yea twice, yet man perceiveth it not. 15 In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed;)

In the Bible there several passages which speak about us, hearing the voice of God versus the voice of the enemy. To clarify the ones who belongs to and of whom God is speaking of hearing His voice and following it, we can look at John 10:27. God says, “My sheep (those who love Him, worship Him in truth and spirit; keeping His commandments) recognize and hear His voice, He know us, and we, out of faithfulness, belief, and trust follow Him. God’s voice encapsulates Life. The voice of the enemy will come alongside the voice of God, to make it sound as if God is speaking trying to persuade you to do things contrary to the LORD’s will. It may sound tempting, perfectly fine to the ignorant spiritual ear but one thing for sure behind that voice is death. To be able to distinguish between the loving voice of our Father and the hateful destructive, voice of Satan is the reason we must watch and pray about everything. So that we will not get all bent out of shape when troubles come our way. Because those who are truly children of God, understands His messages and are given insight, through the Word (Jesus) as to why things are happening the way they are and what we are to do about it. (John 10:26-28 26 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you. 27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: 28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand). (John 8:47 47 He that is of God heareth God’s words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God).

As we move into our day, we realize how relevant listening for and to God’s voice is in every moment and aspect of our life. YHWH, God, used and is still using, His voice to create and communicate with all living things; changing and rearranging as He sees the need to do so. With a command, for His purpose, He will allow some to rise and others to fall. Majestically and powerful does His voice move throughout the land and over the waters speaking to those who will. Through the powerful forces of nature we see and hear His awe-inspiring voice tell us to stop, start, come, or be still. God’s voice causes man and that which is of nature to bow to His will or stand to His won’t. God’s voice is so great that we can see from the 3 boys Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, in the fiery furnace, that when God stepped in, (I like to think that with His Word, Jesus, the voice of God) made the flames behave. In the Book of Daniel (chapter 3). Much joy, peace, comfort, clarity, and most of all love, comes with God’s voice. And when problems need to be solved, when we listen to hear Yashuah, Jesus’ voice, saying come, the power and majesty of God’s voice, like that of thunder and nature, is revealed through His speaking. And when He speaks, His voice shakes the trees of retribution, the situations of Satan, and rid all that is contrary to His Word (Voice) from the land. (Psalm 29:3-9 3 The voice of the Lord is upon the waters: the God of glory thundereth: the Lord is upon many waters. 4 The voice of the Lord is powerful; the voice of the Lord is full of majesty. 5 The voice of the Lord breaketh the cedars; yea, the Lord breaketh the cedars of Lebanon. 6 He maketh them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young unicorn. 7 The voice of the Lord divideth the flames of fire. 8 The voice of the Lord shaketh the wilderness; the Lord shaketh the wilderness of Kadesh. 9 The voice of the Lord maketh the hinds to calve, and discovereth the forests: and in his temple doth every one speak of his glory).

You know that the majority of people (even those professing to be a child of God) develop an attitude toward God when troubles, trials, and tribulations comes their way. They turn off their hearing which decerns God’s voice from the devil’s. They refuse to stand still long enough to hear Him commanding the waves (crisis, chaos, and confusion) to behave, and the wind (anyone or anything contrary to His will) to stop blowing; causing destruction and devastation. This bring us to the fact that the last thing any of us should do is to harden our heart when God is speaking to us.

God speaks to us in and through different avenues. It is without question that His primary way is through His Word, the bible. In His Word we get revelation and a clearer realization as to Who God is and His plan for our lives. He also speak to us through the men of God, (pastors, preachers, reverends, ministries, etc.). Also, through an individual or those who would be leaders by way of dreams and visions; His voice is often subtle and may not be immediately recognized by those it is intended for. If we look with goodness in our eyes we can see His spoken word in His creation; the beauty of the sky and the grandness of the earth and all that it houses. Or hear it in a babbling brook which seems to speak to the natural wilderness of your heart. (Psalm 19:1-2 19 The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. 2 Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge). It is also possible to hear it in a friend or stranger who relates to a mutual situation or circumstance; serving as lessons, warnings, or opportunity for our growth, both spiritually and naturally. God’s word can also be spoken through inner impressions, gentle nudges or promptings; they are usually subtle and require discernment. But we must be, at all times, open to hear His voice and understand this, that whatever God need and want you to hear, you will hear it one way or another. Because every word God utters is for our good. (Job 33:14-18 14 For God speaketh once, yea twice, yet man perceiveth it not. 15 In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed; 16 Then he openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their instruction, 17 That he may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from man. 18 He keepeth back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword).

In order for us to become and stay the righteousness of God, we must open our heart’s ear to hear the voice of God and obey and not be as the children of Israel, rebellious and disobedient; it won’t take us forty years to get around this mountain (of conflict, chaos, and confusion we have been thrown in) but the eleven days intended. To reap the continued benefits for our mind, heart, body, and soul we must listen to God’s voice and not become dependent upon our own word, will or way, being stubborn, (this is referencing the Israelite’s listening to voices, other than YHWH, God), while in the wilderness and being tempted by the subjects thereof. (Hebrews 3:7-8 7 Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice, 8 Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness:) GOD’S GOT IT NO WORRY NO FEAR.

EMPTY YOUR CUP: LET GOD FILL IT UP

In the King James or any other Bible, you will not find the exact phrase “God will not fill a cup that is already full”. But this phrase should encourage all of us to take a good look at our life; what all it entails that is not conducive to God’s Word, Will, or Way. What is missing the reason things seem to be always going south? Are we, out of ignorance allowing ourselves to be filled with something other than what is in the LORD’s cup. Understand this, that if you are not filled with that of God (which does not allow us to receive what He has for us) then you are being filled with that of Satan. Even though it is not written in the bible, as it is said, behind this saying is supported by scripture. (1 Corinthians 10:21 Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord’s table, and of the table of devils).

God will not fill a cup that is already full is the fundamental truth and proposition that serves as the foundation for the working of God’s. His way is so much higher than ours and His expectations (although high) are to stretch our abilities and capabilities for His glory and the good of our fellow man. But when we are carrying around stuff that goes against His plan for our lives, it makes it hard for us to see much less receive, His blessings, benefits, teachings, guidance, and yes chastisement; all that’s needed for a full abundant life, according to our Father, which is the only way. It is His perfect way of doing things in our system of belief which determines what type of behavior or approach we engage in, to the chain of the reasoning process.

YHWH, God can do all things, there is nothing too hard for Him, but He will not fill a cup that is already full of stuff. That is why He ask you and me to come to Him, seek Him first so that you will have no doubt as to Who and what we need in our life. Other than Himself, God is all the righteous stuff we need to give us a cup, one that is already full, one that overflows. So, in order for Him to fill us up, until we overflow with His good and righteousness, we must rid our spiritual cup of all the ungodly, negative, contrary things. Those things we hold on to and carry around with us such as hate, pride, greed, malice, backbiting, murmuring, complaining, deceitfulness, and all other negative and ill-willed actions toward our Father and brothers and sisters. Don’t say you don’t have any, because all of us do. Admit it and start daily, continue to seek (even as you fall, get up) to obtain the good fruit to fill your cup. Yes, it will be hard because old habits die hard, but steadfastness in Jesus will prevail as you develop new ones and continue seeking. You may (probably will) fall because you are not accustomed to turning your life over to God. But we must get up to obtain the good fruit to fill our cup, depend on God, and allow Him to fill our lives, to overflowing from His cup of grace and mercy. (Psalm 23:5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over).

This fullness for your spiritual cup, (which we must strive and make a consorted effort to open our hearts to God, in Jesus’ name), should be filled with what God has for us, which includes: no fear but faith, doing good with much gratitude, being content and courageous, showing commitment with compassion, promoting peace through practicing patience, talking truth from trust, reaping our righteous rewards, and welcoming wisdom through the knowledge of knowing and understanding His Word, Yashua, Jesus.

So, instead of filling our cup with what Satan/world has for us, we give our minds, hearts, and souls over to God to be filled with God’s goodness, Jesus. When we do, there is nothing we cannot do as long as goals and efforts remain in line with His will; having all that we need, from Him, assures us the content of our character, that which fills our cup. Once we have allowed God to fill our cup with True Life, Jesus (the Light of the world) the path to true love for one another and righteousness toward each other is so much brighter and becomes clearer. And no matter the darkness, laid upon it, you will be able to see all the good and righteous stuff, from YHWH, God we need to fill our cup, to be able to walk in total victory; but first we must empty out the old and let our Father replace it with the new; we are now fully restored. GOD’S GOT IT, NO WORRY, NO FEAR.

Acts 2:4 “And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.”

Acts 4:8 “Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, said unto them, Ye rulers of the

people, and elders of Israel,” Ephesians 5:17-18 “Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is. And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit

The Righteous Way of Life: Jesus

The Righteous Way of Life is found in our Lord and Saviour, Jesus.

Have we waxed cold in our service, commitment, and relationship with the LORD, especially when it comes to increased wickedness and lawlessness? This question is mentioned in Matthew 24:12, stating that as society becomes more corrupt, it will negatively impact the love and faith of those who are believers. So, ask yourself this, has my living become in vain due to trying to walk in the way of men instead of Christ? (Matthew 24:11-13 11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. 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. Read full chapter).

Unless you have given your life to Christ you may as well stop half-heartedly listening to or reading the Word. Stop pretending to understand or adhere to it when you don’t. Jesus said, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life…” (John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me). This is the way we must all come, but we seemed to skip over that part. Sure, YHWH, God is our Father, The Creator of it all. But God, out of His love for all of us, sent His Son to remove all sin in yours and my life; through His Son, our Saviour God can look upon us. All or most all of us need to turn around, repent and start all over. Yashuah will definitely help you. He will make your life richer than it’s ever been (not just with material things but a Spiritual awakening and peace that will transcend (go beyond) and form of your understanding. (Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Philippians 4:7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus).

The path of righteousness, as described in the Bible, is the way of life characterized by moral goodness, integrity, and justice. It necessitates getting and staying on the path of truth which includes making choices that align with God’s will. And the attempt or desire to obtain and achieve what it takes to live according to His standards. This path is often described as a journey that requires much effort and discipline on our part. But staying on this path and walking the righteous walk will ultimately lead to an abundant, fulfilling and meaningful life; the one YHWH, God, through Yashuah, Jesus, intend for us to have. (Proverbs 2:20 That thou mayest walk in the way of good men, and keep the paths of the righteous).

It is known of all who choose to worship Adonai, in love and truth, that giving Him the first fruit of themselves (time in the morning, wages, efforts, etc.,) is the beginning of a positive position in a purposeful life. It starts out, as indicated previously, with rising and focusing on seeking direction and wisdom to make sound righteous decisions. This frame of mind, taken on early in the morning, help us to be acute to that which our Father would have us to be so that we can navigate the good and difficult times we encounter as the day progresses. But the most important reason of all is acknowledging God’s presence, His strength, His help, and His unwavering faithfulness while you are entering in the beginning of a trial or test. His never wavering love, patience, peace, and progressive perseverance in the middle. And as we emerge out of it, maybe with a few battle scars, but coming out and you are a new creature; your whole self has changed, for the best, at the end. In our times of going through ( which is most of the time) we find ourselves expressing uncertainty regarding the outcome of it all, and requesting His guidance in all areas of your life to get to a safe place, The Rock, our Lord Jesus, knowing if we stick with Him our change will come; all with respect, honor, glory and praise upon rising; this starts your day out on a good and righteous note; He will show and tell us how to react to the happenings of the world today, tomorrow, and beyond. Every day of our life, if we call on God, in all-out honesty, in Jesus’ name when we first get up in the morning, He will direct our path. (Psalm 25: 1 Unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul. 2 O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me. 3 Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed: let them be ashamed which transgress without cause. 4 Shew me thy ways, O Lord; teach me thy paths. 5 Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day) Read Full Chapter.

He will guide us: He will tell us who and what to listen to, which helps us to stay at peace, be calm, and stay focused on His word, will, and way. He gives us the eyes to see goodness, ways, which seems impossible to our naked eyes, out of no way; a prevalent light in the darkness of this world; our fortress, strong tower for every contrary thing that we face, in the middle of our circumstances. He equips us (His true children) with what we need to carefully observe, to see His goodness in our fellow man or see the evil that may try and encamp around us. He will put in us, a right mind, and teach us how to think righteous thoughts which lead to moral and upright choices and actions; He puts words of wisdom and encouragement in our mouths so that we can share them with those who are searching, afraid, confused, those who need it (which is all of us). And let us understand and remember that we can plan, plan, and plan to walk a certain path but the LORD is the one Who truly has the last say and therefore, directs our steps. (John 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. Psalm 32:8 I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye. Proverbs 16:9 A man’s heart deviseth his way: but the Lord directeth his steps (A man’s heart plans his way, but the LORD directs his steps).”

So, as you rise in the morning and go through your morning ritual don’t forget to give God thanks, glorify His name, send up praises, and show gratitude for His faithfulness; open up your hearts and minds to Him; get connected to the orchestra He conducts. He then, prepares and allows us (the ones opened to Him) to receive that part, which is yours individually, which is needed to be pleasing and beneficial in YHWH, God’s sight and kingdom; that which He has ordained. And our Lord and Saviour, Yashuah, Jesus, gives us a clearer view and understanding of which path to take when we are in tuned with the rhythm of Him, God’s Word. And He reveals the meaning of each obstacle or milestone encountered or achieved. (James 4:7-9 7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. 9 Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. Read full chapter). GOD’S GOT IT NO WORRY, NO FEAR.

A WEBB OF INSANITY HAS BEEN WEAVED AND MANY HAVE BEEN DECEIVED

The phrase “a web of insanity has been weaved, and many have been deceived (now he is being seen and the deceptions found)” suggests a situation where someone’s mental state has become severely disordered, and this disorder has led to actions or circumstances that are not only harming the weaver but the world. It is a state of psychosis or mental illness.

GOD HAS ALLOWED SATAN TO BE A THORN IN HIS AND OUR SIDES FOR THE DURATION OF HIS (GOD’S) PURPOSE HE HAS FOR HIM (SATAN). SINCE IT IS NOT TIME FOR YASHUAH TO ENTER INTO THIS MESS, YHWH, GOD FOUND A WILLING SUBJECT TO HELP PREPARE THE WAY FOR OUR LORD AND SAVIOUR. THEN HE (SATAN) SURROUNDED HIS PUPPET WITH MINIONS TO HELP HIM.

SPIRITUAL AND NATURAL SANITY HAVE BEEN REPLACED (IN TODAYS SOCIETY BY THE OUT-RIGHT INSANITY OF AN EVIL MIND: REFUSING TO RECOGNIZE, ACKNOWLEDGE, OR DENOUNCE SIN AND SEEK GOD’S FACE IN ALL THAT WE DO, IN JESUS’ NAME. BECAUSE TRUTH AND SANITY, WHICH COMES FROM GOD, THROUGH CHRIST JESUS OUR LORD AND SAVIOUR.

Wisdom, Knowledge, and understanding (of and from God), help us to maintain a clear measure of sanity as we face the inevitable: Return of Yashuah, Jesus; keeping us from repeating the same thing and trying to figure out why it is not working: why it is not producing positive fruit? why are we having a hard time staying steady in God’s Word? As true children of YHWH, God, we know and recognize that God is God, and through the teachings of His Son, our Saviour, Yashuah, Jesus we have no doubt, where all answers for everything comes from. We acknowledge His authority and control in all that we are doing, where we are going, and how we are going to get there.

When we remain in God’s Word, our path becomes clear because we are given the necessary tools to stay on it. The matter of this truth, to study to show yourself approved, reflects the urgency to build your relationship with Christ. It is not insanity to find yourself in a place of uncertainty because even if we waver a bit, we remain true to our God’s word, will, and way; pushing past the world’s darkness and evil toward God’s marvelous Light (Jesus) and goodness. In other words, we, as the sons and daughters of the Most High, we must relinquish all to His Son, our Saviour. Listening, looking and walking in His example is the only thing that will help us to go through these trying times (shake the tree) (Psalm 20:1, 6-9 1 The Lord hear thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend thee; 6 Now know I that the Lord saveth his anointed; he will hear him from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his right hand. 7 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the Lord our God. 8 They are brought down and fallen: but we are risen, and stand upright. 9 Save, Lord: let the king hear us when we call).

In our world today, we are steadily moving under the guise of insanity. Orchestrated by one man, who is being used by the devil to do his bidding of evil in opposition to God’s goodness. Oh, What A Webb That has been Weaved, And Through the Insanity of One, Many have Been Deceived.

Insanity, in the Bible, explain it as a state of mental derangement. It could stem from one’s intellectual weakness or one’s excessive passion. It’s often linked to demonic possession or other abnormal states (self-servant, narcissistic). Jesus, our Lord and Saviour, told us to be careful of false prophets and those who would lead you astray. (Matthew 24:4-5 4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. 5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many).

The best known, layman definition of insanity is doing the same thing and expecting a different result/outcome. In this case it is constantly committing sins while expecting everyone else to see the full fruit of God’s promises on our life from their insane actions (or do they). (Proverbs 26:11 As a dog returneth to his vomit, so a fool returneth to his folly).

Know this to be true. When you recognize the fact that sin is more prevalent in your life than good, and you want to do something about it, it is a wise and beneficial recognition; it is time to change the dynamics of your life. Give your life to Christ so that God, (not man) through prayer and supplication, will make a brand-new creation out of you; from the inside out. God will continue to love and bless us while He performs a circumcision (cutting away that which is contrary to His Word) of our mind, heart, and soul; to change our thinking into that which is good and acceptable to Him, honoring Him, self, and others; to open our hearts and make them receptive to His Word (wisdom, knowledge, understanding), and prepare our souls for its eternal destination, Heaven. The mountain we made our constant, will no longer stand before us to remind us of the insanity we once possessed, all because we were not a child of the Most High God. Now that we are, we recognize the Light which gives us sight into His revelations for us. (Romans 10:9-10 9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation).

To acknowledge YHWH, God is to acknowledge the Truth (Yashuah, Jesus). To acknowledge someone or something you must agree that it exists, that it’s true. This is where today’s society, fall short of admitting that there is a “Being, God”, more powerful, perfect, and ever present than man. This simple, yet true, realization should become a crucial part in dispelling the notion, of many, that God is not real. It should be used in the narrative to recognize and affirm the truth, presence, and authority of God, His works, and His commandments. When we agree that YHWH, God exists, this strongly suggests the truth or existence of Him, though we have not seen Him and knowing that, when we keep in step with His Word, Christ Jesus, that insanity does not become a part of our makeup. It also implies that with knowing God’s Truth, we become more conscious in our understanding and acceptance of God’s sovereignty and the fact that He supplies everything we need; not man. And therefore, our personal response and relationship, to His Truths, are developed according to our individuality; all of us are YHWH, God’s. (Psalm 119:56-58 56 This I had, because I kept thy precepts. 57 Thou art my portion, O Lord: I have said that I would keep thy words. 58 I intreated thy favour with my whole heart: be merciful unto me according to thy word). (1 Corinthians 3:21-23 21 Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are your’s; 22 Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are your’s; 23 And ye are Christ’s; and Christ is God’s).

The ones who believe that they, only, possesses the intellectual and technical capabilities of the world, (which are all results of God-given knowledge), and wants to exclude the truth that YHWH, God is and will ever be the sole purpose for our existence. The ones who have been given this gift of knowledge are forever trying to control our being and everything it entails. Man has pushed passed reality and Truth and has chosen not to recognize YHWH, God, as The Supreme Being (none before or after Him), in control and over all that is. And His Son, our Lord and Saviour, The Way, The Truth, and The Life for our salvation’s path to be confessed, walked, and cleared. Instead of hoping for better things, with the guidance from man, our hope and faith should be planted at the merciful feet of our Father, through the Holy Spirit. But man continues to try and enforce his limited control on all that be; making an even larger mess than before. In as much as man like to feel that he is in control, it is time that he take a long, calculated look around at what is going on, what direction it’s going, and relinquish his imaginary control and acknowledge, The One who really is in charge; he can move forward toward a most certain and fruitful change; an escape from his own insanity.(John 14:6 6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me).

And we all need to look at where we are now and what we are doing, saying, and thinking. Are we that which is inspiringly conducive to God’s glorious plan or are we encouraging obstacles (giving yourself support, confidence, and hope that what you do will bring about change – it will not) which hinders this change. Not being able to control our flesh presents a very big problem. Because it wars with our spirit to maintain control. But God has the answer for the evil in us; the Holy Spirit; our strength. (Romans 7:18-20 For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh. For I have the desire to do what is right, but not the ability to carry it out. For I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want is what I keep on doing. Now if I do what I do not want, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells within me).

There are those who feel that their opinion does not matter. They tend to allow others to think for them. This, too, is a form of displaying insanity because it puts you in a position to follow the wrong doctrine or advice (some advice or doctrine that procreates the same idiotic or dangerous results). We must always pray for wisdom, knowledge, and the understanding of God’s Word, His Will, and His Way, not man’s. This will give you answers about what is really going on in the world today and why. Therefore, do not walk blindly toward the unknown simply on the word of anticipation from another (the masses), but put your trust in the TRUTH AND SANITY, WHICH COMES FROM GOD, THROUGH CHRIST JESUS OUR LORD AND SAVIOUR.

God has kept us this far and He will not let go of those of us who believe. When we submit ourselves to God, we will find that the path He has laid for us is equipped with all the necessary, tools, armor, and weapons to engage in the battles (ultimately the war) against all the insane forces and hinderances that comes against us. This state reflects the belief of all who will, regarding the source of truth and mental well-being. It suggests that truth, knowledge, and sound judgment are all originated from God; they are only accessible through faith in Jesus Christ. So, believe this. God’s path, for you and me, is paved with wisdom, knowledge and understanding of His Word: reflecting love, patience, peace, and prosperity; bringing us out of our wilderness of, confusion, anger, misunderstanding, hatred, excuses, and all the other negative things that brings us to a point of delusion and selfishness; insanity. And, for your soul’s sake, know this, that you or no man can cure insanity until you accept Christ as your Saviour. He and only He will give you a sound mind, disciplined, well-balanced, and sober. Thus, stopping you from going around or trying to climb, the same old mountain; getting stuck in the same valley; those situations and circumstances manufactured by Satan and his minions; it will keep you at the point you are now. THE LAW, IN ITS ENTIRETY COMES FROM GOD, TRUTH AND SANITY, COMES THROUGH CHRIST JESUS OUR LORD AND SAVIOUR.

(John 1:17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. Ephesians 4:15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ. 2 Timothy 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind).

GODS GOT IT NO WORRY NO FEAR.

A SPIRITUAL TREASURE FOUND

A SPIRITUAL TREASURE FOUND, MY MOTHER’S NOTE: WRITTEN TO US (HER CHILDREN, ESPECIALLY), WHEN WE DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO, AS SITUATIONS, TRIALS, TROUBLES, AND TRIBULATIONS CONFRONTS US.

Although I posted this, not in its entirety, on January 20, 2022, I feel the need to finish it. Yes, I could give you a verse here and a tidbit there but why should I? It would be like breaking off a small piece of turkey. Knowing that the bulk of the flavor and nutrients is in the whole. So, I write with the purpose of giving as much of the meat of the gospel, as I can; hoping that with it comes clarification, inspiration, spiritual satiation, leading to revelation.

A TREASURE FOUND – MY MOTHER’S NOTE

I recently noticed this note my mother, Lucy B. Scott, had written and placed in her Bible, many years ago. When it came to reading the Bible, she, like so many of the women in our community, was very studious and very deliberate (thoughtful, and purposeful,) to be able to reflect on what Jesus said to them, by way of Scripture, and share it with their family, especially the children. She had to show herself as the Lord’s woman of faith; an example of a true follower of Christ Jesus. Which most all the mothers in the neighborhood had to be because during that time, as it should be with today’s uncertainties, each family depended heavily on the LORD. The mothers, in yester years, were the backbone of the family; holding it together with whatever glue (measure of faith) God provided them with. They armed themselves with their trust, belief, and faith and in prayer, supplication, humility, and truth they gratefully received God’s strength, grace, and mercy, topped with a measure of favor, for that particular circumstance, trial, trouble, or tribulation. This type of mother’s love, concern, and covering (relationship with God, through Jesus), should be seen in our children and their children and passed down from generation to generation: because all of us needed/need as much covering as we could get. This is done through sharing the Word of God to all who will. (Isaiah 54:13 And all thy children shall be taught of the Lord; and great shall be the peace of thy children. Proverbs 20:10-12 10 Divers weights, and divers measures, both of them are alike abomination to the Lord. 11 Even a child is known by his doings, whether his work be pure, and whether it be right. 12 The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, the Lord hath made even both of them. Proverbs 22:6 6 Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it).

It is a brief note, to herself, that gave herself permission to seek the face, hand, heart, and wings of YHWH, GOD, through Yashuah, Jesus, any time she found herself at a crossroad. It taught her to continue leaning right (on Him) and not to veer off God’s planned course, no matter how far the world was leaning left (unrighteousness). While searching for answers to her daily questions, she found solitude in resting in the peace and patience she received from Yashuah, Jesus and the Holy Spirit; much needed to wait for the answers. And once the answers came and were clear, her shear thankfulness and gratitude were shown through prayer, praise, singing, and shouting. (Proverbs 3:5-6 5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths).

Below you will find the Book, chapter, and the first several scriptures. I have taken excerpts, stating the key components in the chapter, but I suggest you read the entire chapter, studying it to grasp the full meaning of its revelation. We are to study God’s Word, to show ourselves approved. (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). You don’t just memorize certain facts, we feel are necessary to impress or get you by but know that it is most important for us to trust in the Lord, and be faithful in our hearts, so we gain the wisdom and the knowledge to understand and apply God’s word to our lives. To be faithful in the things we do for YHWH, God, through Yashuah, Jesus emphasizes and show the importance of true integrity and honesty in our relationship with God and our fellow man. My mother recognized the need to cultivate faithfulness not just outwardly, but also within the thoughts, intentions, and motives of the heart. To incorporate all the goodness of God’s Word (Jesus), not just in our daily lives but throughout our entire life and all that we encounter, we must demonstrate faithfulness to God’s purpose, plans, and principles and live a life that aligns with His teachings. He will direct us to the path we are to take and guide us along it in His Truth. (2 Timothy 2:1-4 (entire chapter) 1 Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. 2 And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also. 3 Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. 4 No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier).

WHEN YOU ARE IN SORROW: We all, at one time or another, find ourselves feeling down and sorrowful. But Jesus told us to not allow our hearts to be troubled, but as we believe in God to bring us out of troubles, trials, and tribulations, so we are to believe in Him; for our joy and profound happiness also. Because what He came to do is strictly for our benefit; it encompasses all who will come.

John 14:1-6 1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. 2 In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. 4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know. 5 Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way? 6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

BEFORE CHURCH SERVICES: It is always good to go down on your knees, before we go to church, getting our heart and minds in a humble state; in the presence of God to confess your faults, to enter into His house with a clear heart, and mind. You will receive the wisdom and knowledge needed, so you will not be hindered in your worship.God does not withhold any good thing from those who serve Him righteously.

Psalm 84:1-4, 10-12 1How amiable are thy tabernacles, O Lord of hosts! 2 My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the Lord: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God. 3 Yea, the sparrow hath found an house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, even thine altars, O Lord of hosts, my King, and my God. 4 Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be still praising thee. Selah. Psalm 84:10-12 10 For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness. 11 For the Lord God is a sun and shield: the Lord will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly. 12 O Lord of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.

WHEN YOU HAVE SINNED: As a child of YHWH we know that when you sin, all you need to do is ask God, in all respect and honesty, and He will forgive you; He, unlike man, will remember them no more. God through our Saviour and His Son, Jesus, will have mercy on you for being repentant of your sins. He will wash you with the blood of His Lamb, Jesus, Who paid the ultimate sacrifice for the remission of our sins. So, let us remember that God, as long as we repent, will forgive our sins because He made a way for Him to accept our asking Him to do so. The time He put between knowing and forgetting is as far as the East is from the West (two points which never meets). We need but to ask God, through Jesus, to purge us from our evil ways and wash our hearts and minds so they will reflect the thoughts and compassion of Yashuah, Jesus and help to rid us of sin; creating a brand new and clean heart; from the result of a renewed spirit, one of God not the world.

Psalm 51:1-12 1 Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions. 2 Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. 3 For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me. 4 Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest. 5 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me. 6 Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom. 7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. 8 Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice. 9 Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities. 10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. 11 Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me. 12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.

WHEN YOU ARE IN DANGER: When one of God’s children find himself in danger, all he has to do is find that secret place, in God, that He has allowed for us. We seek to find shelter under His almighty wings of protection, knowing that His truth will be divine armor, and His faithfulness is our reward. When you are in trouble and you find yourself in a situation you don’t know how to maneuver through, it is better to go to the Rock (GOD, in Jesus’ name), hide in His love and truth, and trust Him to shield you from any terrible thing that comes near you. There we find the refuge we need, and He will keep us from any harm that others are trying to do to us both during the day or night.

Psalm 91:1-6, 9-12 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.

Psalm 91:9-12 9 Because thou hast made the Lord, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation; 10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. 11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. 12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

WHEN YOU ARE WORRIED: There are treasures, heavenly and there are treasures earthly. We have a tendency to think hard or worry about the things that are dear to us; the ones which give us a feeling of pride and accomplishment; those things accumulated over the years, mainly material things. But our spiritual treasures are what we need to be truly concerned with, not worry, mind you because Jesus told us not to. But we are to get our mind and hearts in line with God, depending on Him for all we need and some of our wants. So, we are to make sure we are sending up treasure (love, compassion, help, faith, hope, belief, etc.) to our spiritual bank, rather than doing all we can to build it up here (put our faith and trust in man and this world’s system) where it will decay or fade away. The material things of life we cannot take with us and when we are gone, they will remain. But what will meet us in our after life is what we did and are doing for God in the name of Christ our Lord and Saviour. Will you seek your heavenly home or hell home? Matthew 6: 19, 34 19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:

Matthew 6:34 34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

WHEN YOU ARE DISCOURAGED: My mother could have wallowed in discouragement and would have been for doing so. But instead, she would pick up her Bible and began to read. Then she would sit and pray. This type of response is what God wants from His children, not to shrivel up in a corner and complain, blame, or go insane but seek Him when the road we are traveling seems to have ended. Because He is the Master Paver and when it ends for us, He will lay down some more (better than we ever could) so that we can keep moving forward (and not come to a standstill). You will be comforted, and the outcome of the battle we were and still are engaged in on this road of life, which causes you to become discouraged, will be accomplished by the LORD. Open up your heart in preparation for the Lord (Jesus) to enter in. He will make your paths, in the desert of your life, straight; once you allow Him to enter into your heart. He will do the opposite of what the world is giving you (false hope and promises never meant to come to fruition).

When it comes to showing His love for you; He will bring your sadness and valleys of life up to meet His love and wonderful glory; the mountains that, at one time thought too high will be brought down for you; so that you will be able to reach the things on top in order for you to help with your accomplishments, spiritually and naturally. Every crooked deed done before you will be revealed and made straight; all the things that tries to deter you from your service to God (those which come at you from others, in a harsh, intimidating, fraudulent, evil way will be made plain so that you will understand and know which direction to go; this will be shown to you in unison with the ones who seek God in times of discouragement and not mad; the one who caused you to be discouraged. Isaiah 40: 1 Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God. 2 Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned: for she hath received of the Lord’s hand double for all her sins. 3 The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God. 4 Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain: 5 And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.

As my mother and the women of our youth chose to be, we are to be constantly studious in the Word; encouraged, freed of sorrow, know what His house is all about, willing to and ask for the forgiveness of our sins (yes, all of us commit them), know who to turn to in the event of danger, learn who to go to when we began to worry or get discouraged. After you have read this, go to Psalm 86, and read it. It is an all-inclusive prayer, of David, to Father GOD, for deliverance from everything contrary to the LORD’s will. GODS GOT IT NO WORRY NO FEAR.

EXTRA SCRIPTURES FOR MORE INFORMATION AND INSPIRATION:

ISAIAH 40:6 The voice said, Cry. And he said, What shall I cry? All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field:

7 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: because the spirit of the Lord bloweth upon it: surely the people is grass.

8 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.

9 O Zion, that bringest good tidings, get thee up into the high mountain; O Jerusalem, that bringest good tidings, lift up thy voice with strength; lift it up, be not afraid; say unto the cities of Judah, Behold your God!

10 Behold, the Lord God will come with strong hand, and his arm shall rule for him: behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him.

11 He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young.

12 Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and meted out heaven with the span, and comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance?

13 Who hath directed the Spirit of the Lord, or being his counsellor hath taught him?

14 With whom took he counsel, and who instructed him, and taught him in the path of judgment, and taught him knowledge, and shewed to him the way of understanding?

15 Behold, the nations are as a drop of a bucket, and are counted as the small dust of the balance: behold, he taketh up the isles as a very little thing.

16 And Lebanon is not sufficient to burn, nor the beasts thereof sufficient for a burnt offering.

17 All nations before him are as nothing; and they are counted to him less than nothing, and vanity.

18 To whom then will ye liken God? or what likeness will ye compare unto him?

19 The workman melteth a graven image, and the goldsmith spreadeth it over with gold, and casteth silver chains.

20 He that is so impoverished that he hath no oblation chooseth a tree that will not rot; he seeketh unto him a cunning workman to prepare a graven image, that shall not be moved.

21 Have ye not known? have ye not heard? hath it not been told you from the beginning? have ye not understood from the foundations of the earth?

22 It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:

23 That bringeth the princes to nothing; he maketh the judges of the earth as vanity.

24 Yea, they shall not be planted; yea, they shall not be sown: yea, their stock shall not take root in the earth: and he shall also blow upon them, and they shall wither, and the whirlwind shall take them away as stubble.

25 To whom then will ye liken me, or shall I be equal? saith the Holy One.

26 Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these things, that bringeth out their host by number: he calleth them all by names by the greatness of his might, for that he is strong in power; not one faileth.

27 Why sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest, O Israel, My way is hid from the Lord, and my judgment is passed over from my God?

28 Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.

29 He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.

30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:

31 But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

STAY ON THE PATH OF RIGHTEOUSNESS

IF WE WANT TO MANEUVER THROUGH LIFE’S UNCERTAINTIES, WE MUST GET AND STAY ON THE PATH OF GOD’S RIGHTEOUSNESS

If you want to defeat the evils of darkness, you must get and stay on the path of God’s righteousness, Jesus. The path of righteousness, as described in the Bible, is a way of life characterized by moral goodness, integrity, and justice. It necessitates asking God to show you His righteous path. The next step will be getting and staying on it which includes making choices that align with God’s will. And the attempt or desire to obtain and achieve what it takes to live according to His standards. This path is often described as a journey that requires much effort and discipline on our part. But staying on this path and walking the righteous walk will ultimately lead to an abundant, fulfilling and meaningful life; the one YHWH, God, through Yashuah, Jesus, intend for us to have. (Proverbs 2:20 That thou mayest walk in the way of good men, and keep the paths of the righteous).

It is known of all who choose to worship Adonai, in love and truth, that giving Him respect, honor, glory and praise upon rising starts your day out on a good and righteous note; He will show and tell us how to react to the happenings of the world today, tomorrow, and beyond. Every day of our life, if we call on God, in Jesus’ name when we first get up in the morning, He will direct our path; giving us a clearer view and understanding of which one to take and the meaning of each obstacle or milestone encountered or achieved. If we don’t abide in Jesus, we are not truly His disciples; we are the sheep of someone’s pasture but not His. We are considered as false disciples. Therefore, our relationship with Jesus must be continuously cared for and cultivated; an on-purpose effort. And likening it to a Tree with many vines (we are the vines receiving the nourishment, in all areas, from Jesus, the Tree). Those who chooses to pull themselves away from the Tree will not receive all the benefits of being attached to it. Not if, but when we do feel we must be free of YHWH, God, our Yashuah, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit (we don’t) we become distorted in our way of thinking and living because we practice that of the flesh, which is man or the world. We do not practice that which is of the spirit, our Lord. (John 15:4-5 4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. 5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing).

When we are anchored to the hem of the Master, Jesus, garment, and walk in His examples of love, life, and liberty, we are filled with the wisdom, knowledge, and true understanding, needed to maneuver this world’s indignation and the critical and crucial paths (paths which promotes our spiritual growth as well as natural) we must take. (Proverbs 3:6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths). This is wisdom: To be guided by the Holy Spirit toward God’s wisdom. GOD’S GOT IT, NO WORRY, NO FEAR.

IN TODAY’S CHAOS AND CONFUSION, FIND PEACE, IN GOD, THROUGH JESUS

WHILE REACTING AND INTERACTING TO TODAY’S CHAOS AND CONFUSION, FIND PEACE, IN GOD, THROUGH JESUS

1 Corinthians 14:33 33 For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.

Some, maybe totally afraid and confounded at what is going on, not only in our nation, but in the world. That’s due to the lack of trust, faith, belief. and love they have in Jesus. But Jesus told us not to fear not; especially what man can do to you because He has overcome the world. That means He has everything under control regardless of how it appears, sound, or feels to us. Our responsibility is to seek Him first for all our troubles, trials, situations, and circumstances and turn them over to Him. (John 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world).

Because today’s outright mess is not one, we did not see coming. All the signs and wonders The Father has and are allowing have been pointing toward it. YHWH, God, in Yashuah, Jesus’ name wants us to have complete faith and trust in Him, not man but God. He wants us to believe every word He said will come true. And when we keep God’s Word in front of us, every day (studying to understand and do what It said) in every way and write the Word on our hearts (with permanent ink) we will become and continue to understand (in parts) the revelation of our Father, God, through Jesus’ work. We will not run from the chaos and confusion but embrace it; God has given us the wisdom to know what is really going on. (Proverbs 7:2-4 2 Keep my commands and live, And my law as the apple of your eye. 3 Bind them on your fingers; Write them on the tablet of your heart. 4 Say to wisdom, “You are my sister,” And call understanding your nearest kin,) (Proverbs 3:3-6 3 Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart: 4 So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man. 5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths).

God had to raise up a person who is subjected to lying, cheating, vanity, pride, greed, and every type of ungodliness imaginable, in order to bring His plan for man into fruition. Yet, with all that which is unfolding, as we see America being ostracized by other countries, the ones we called friends, and going down the toilet, it is hard for some to accept the fact that we need to react in a way that will not render us helpless and cause us to lose our eternal crown of Life. But show strength in a strong, embolden, godly way. Bold in the LORD’s Word, Will, and Way. Courageous in all ungodliness, that is set in front of us. And confidence in knowing that God is in charge, and He has total control of the whole. Take the high road. Stand still in your mind, heart, and spirit; seeking and speaking God’s Truths. It may seem that all is going to pot but The One (God, in the name of Jesus) holds the keys and outcome to everything in His hands. (Ephesians 6:11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil). (Romans 12:20-21 20 Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. 21 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good).

We must also know that everything has a season; rather it is to be smooth sailing or rough waves or whatever encountered. And we are in a season where difficult decisions are to be made, whether to fight for truth and righteousness or take flight to the other side. Just don’t throw up the towel and give up or in because what you do in the season of rough waves will determine the next smooth sailing season. So, know this, that this season of chaos and confusion and all of this madness and mayhem is not caused by the lack of YHWH’s God’ love for us; He has allowed it because He does love us; shaking the tree to see who stick to His Word (Jesus) and who fall out and away, maturing and preparing us for the greatest show of His love; the coming of His Son, our Christ, Lord and Saviour. (Ecclesiastes 3:1- 8 1 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 A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace). PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE CHAPTER.

GOD’S GOT IT NO WORRY NO FEAR.

GOD WILL CLEAR OUT THE EXTRAS

GOD WILL CLEAR OUT THE EXTRA CLUTTER IN YOUR LIFE, NO MATTER HOW MUCH HAS ACCUMULATED. OR WHO HELPED YOU PUT IT THERE. AND WHEN HE DOES, WE ARE NOT TO LOOK BACK BUT MOVE FORWARD IN HIS LOVE.

God will help you to map out a clear and righteous plan for the day; for the week; for the month; for the year; for your life. It only takes handing over the keys, to the door of your heart, to Jesus. And allow Him to come in. But when we think too long and hard about what we may miss if we give up the nonsense and worldly clutter if we become a true child of God, we falter in the process of proceeding toward that righteous goal. We allow others to dissuade us from our destiny by pointing out the material instead of the righteous and eternal (a life, even though we know what is going on, will not cause us to worry nor fear because we know who holds it all in His hands (YHWH, God). And, so, we become stubborn and are reluctant to acknowledge God, study His Word, walk in His Way, and stay in His Will. Yet, when it presents itself to us, we welcome in the extra, the unnecessary, the worldly. The stuff that we know is not eternal (will not last forever) but will throw wrenches, bends, chaos, and confusion in our lives. But since it is viewed as the norm of society, we feel compelled to join the crowd. God does not care for those who choose the wrong leaders to follow. Therefore, there will come a time when He (God) allows a little confusion to come in our lives. He does this to wake us up so that we will see what areas of our life we need to set about cleaning out the extras; the areas we need to obtain or regain and maintain focus on. These are the areas that needs to be rid of all the “Extras”; the pretense, the lying, cheating, stealing, murmuring, hatred, people, I could go on and on. To sum it all up, it is all the ungodly, evil, and the disobedient and contrary actions, we engage in everyday, which goes against the teaching of Christ Jesus.

It should be clear and is especially true when we find ourselves starting our walk with Christ, embarking on a new season in life (beginning carers, retiring, empty nester, senior, etc.) that our mind, heart, and body are all turned toward God; waiting for Him to remove the Extra (trash/clutter removal from our lives) that clutter of no consequence, which have been there too long and is hindering us from the Truth of our life, to take place, and His Holy Plan to be revealed. When YAH, in the name of Yashuah, begins to peel back the layers of extra and expose the harm, to you and others, it has done and is doing, it will be as if blinders have been removed; you can see clearly for the first time. These things (natural and spiritual) that are happening today, are ways God is getting, those who will, attention and it is used for His teaching and our learning purposes: we know that He is not and never will be the author of confusion but The One who rids us of it. When this season is over His hope for us is that our hope in Him has given us the faith, wisdom, and strength not to stress, clarity from the confusion, extricated us from the unnecessary extras, and brought us from a time of mental and spiritual darkness to a time of Sonshine (Jesus) and healing; beginning with a moment with Jesus and all the praise and honor to Him, throughout our life. GOD’S GOT IT, NO WORRY, NO FEAR.

(Psalm 71:1-5 In thee, O Lord, do I put my trust: let me never be put to confusion. 2 Deliver me in thy righteousness, and cause me to escape: incline thine ear unto me, and save me. 3 Be thou my strong habitation, whereunto I may continually resort: thou hast given commandment to save me; for thou art my rock and my fortress. 4 Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man. 5 For thou art my hope, O Lord God: thou art my trust from my youth6 By thee have I been holden up from the womb: thou art he that took me out of my mother’s bowels: my praise shall be continually of thee. 7 I am as a wonder unto many; but thou art my strong refuge. 8 Let my mouth be filled with thy praise and with thy honour all the day).

WHEN THE STORMS OF LIFE ARE RAGING

WHEN THE STORMS OF LIFE ARE RAGING DON’T GET DISCOURAGED AND GIVE UP OR GIVE IN, BUT STAND FIRM IN YOUR COMMITMENT TO GOD, LIKE THE TREE PLANTED BY HIS RIVER OF LOVE.

When the storms of life begin and continue to rage in your life and it seems like at every turn there is a great body of water containing billows of waves (troubles trials, or tribulations). They loom around every bend in your river (Life), too great for you to maneuver. They are plenty in numbers and seem to target the ones who are trying their best to serve YHWH, God in the true and righteous way. Don’t give up when you are in your storm but fall down, look up, reach up, pray; call, on the only one who truly cares and will help. Don’t get discouraged and lose your mind or forget whose child you are, because this is the moment of truth; where the rubber meets the road, whether you honestly believe and know that our Father is our ride or die. Know this, that when you are continuously being hit with something and you don’t fold, but stand firm in the LORD, it makes you strong enough to weather any storm and help your fellow man to be able to endure also: you’ve got Jesus. (Proverbs 27:17 Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.)

This is the moment in which we are prompted, by God, to see our storms for what they are and Who He is in them. They are the allowed works of YHWH, Elohim; His wonders, searching the depth of your and my life, our mind, heart, and soul, waiting for our true commitment, to be revealed. And even though God was directed His message to Jacob His servant, letting Him know that because He was the seed of Abraham, His friend; He is speaking to those who love and serve Him today. He has chosen the ones whom He will and that no matter what vile and ungodly, unlawful, things which would try to come upon us because of another man’s delusion, He, God will hold our right hand (hand of power). Therefore, we do not need to fear; His love and help goes far beyond whatever man can think or try to do to the ones He has chosen. (Isaiah 41:9-13 9 Thou whom I have taken from the ends of the earth, and called thee from the chief men thereof, and said unto thee, Thou art my servant; I have chosen thee, and not cast thee away. 10 Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. 11 Behold, all they that were incensed against thee shall be ashamed and confounded: they shall be as nothing; and they that strive with thee shall perish.12 Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find them, even them that contended with thee: they that war against thee shall be as nothing, and as a thing of nought. 13 For I the Lord thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee). (Read the whole chapter).

He told us that tribulations (storms) were going to be. And because of our sure disobedience, in today’s society, He stands back and watches those who go contrary (usher in the storm themselves), to His will, make complete fools of themselves. He does not cause the unrest but due to man’s insistence (that God is not real or He’s to come only when called). He allows the moments (events and occurrences, situations and circumstances, trials, troubles, and tribulations) to come in like a wave or in multiple waves to humble us; hoping we will see His Light (Jesus) while in the middle of our storm, grab hold to His hand so He can see us through. Then, when the storm has done its due, He calms it, it is over, (for now) and to those who truly believe He re-establish the fact that He is in charge and is still in control of His creation. And He, YHWH, God, Almighty, see that the situation, trouble, or circumstance will either be elevated or deflated, according to His will and purpose. Some will continue to defy God, walking in wickedness every day. But God has a special storm for these and when He deem necessary, will bring it forth.

We look around at the many storms going on; the natural disasters, allowed by God and the man-made disasters, produced and promoted by man, today, and wonder what is really going on. And to many it may not seem that God has control to some; that the storms are getting rougher and completely out of hand but be assured that His birth, death, and rising was not in vain. This show of Love, Light, and Life. The ultimate mastery of love over hate, life over death and the light of strength and power over weakness and succumbing to evil, with it gave Him (as the Son) everything He needs to combat sin and evil. John 16:33 is one of my favorite scriptures. It sums up the fact that yes, we will have storms in life but through them all we should be happy. Why? Because Yashuah, Jesus has overcome the whole world. So, if we keep our hand in His and our eyes lifted toward heaven we will not fear when evil is all around us; God’s got us, no worry, no fear. (John 16:33 33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world). (James 1:1212 Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him).

All of this is done to test the truth we claim to have in the LORD as the sheep of His pasture, the followers of His lead. When we are humble and obedient, He takes us, in our walk with Him, high to beautiful, peaceful, joyous, and prosperous places, ones that are conducive to our life’s all-inclusive journey. And when we continue to walk contrary to His Word (Jesus) He takes away the shield (of protection) every now and then, only for a moment, to see if we will flail around with closed eyes, ears, hearts, and minds and crumble under the weight of the world; eventually turning back to Him with eyes, ears, hearts, and minds wide open; opening our mouths and speak the truth and be resilient enough to call out to Elohim, God. And His strength and power, for us, will come out of our distress. And remember that if we truly believe in YHWH, God, His Word Yashuah, Jesus, and His Holy Spirit, The Way, we will, while the storms are raging learn to accept and do His will. Because we know He has us in His powerful right hand. (Philippians 4:11-13 11 Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content. 12 I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: everywhere and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. 13 I can do all things through Christ which strengthened me).

As you face another storm, instead of compromising in and to it, know that God’s got you, no matter how bad it looks. Consider yourself encapsulated by His great love, looking forward to the “through”. Be still; be quiet. Even though you are going to go through storms in life, our Father in Jesus’ name will protect and keep you. Just be patient and wait in the presence of His service; keep working toward eternity with Him. Because eventually all the storms will stop raging; the sea will be tranquil and peaceful; the constant movement of fear, anger, war, and all other things contrary to God’s will, will be done away with. Remember that prayer is the link between us and our Father and that when we pray to God to keep us, He will but we must keep Him in our hearts, mind, body, and soul at all times. Next, all we have to do is praise the Lord, give Him all the honor and glory, look to Him for all of our help, and acknowledge Him for His good, faithful, and wonderful works; know that He is the only One Who can calm the storms of our lives, and make the seas behave. (Psalm 107:23-32 23 They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters; 24 These see the works of the Lord, and his wonders in the deep. 25 For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof. 26 They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted because of trouble. 27 They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wit’s end. 28 Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses. 29 He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still. 30 Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he bringeth them unto their desired haven. 31 Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men! 32 Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the assembly of the elders). GOD’S GOT IT NO WORRY NO FEAR.
