JESUS KNOWS: WE ARE ON THE BRINK OF A BREAKTHROUGH

Who is at fault for all this mess? All of us are. Because if “we”, who claim to be the people of GOD, who are called, would humble ourselves under the mighty hand of GOD, would seek His face, He will hear our plea for peace, love, joy, and happiness and He will answer us.

The reality of this whole agitation; the trembling of our very nation through the various and unheard-of occurrences, is this, things are changing. YHWH (GOD) is, as Satan is, vying for our attention and ultimately our souls. The United States is being brought to its arrogant knees and shown, in God’s looking glass, just how ugly and vulnerable she really is. Do you wonder why, since the beginning of this outgoing president’s term, it has been one disaster after another? How nothing he did was beneficial but everything detrimental, to cause and country. Why would they choose not to, confront and deal with him?  But with blinded eyes, they looked the other way. And to show how deep rooted the problem of being prideful, vain, hateful and disobedience runs. They stood with blank and unconcern stares while people of color were attacked (still is) and killed. They said, and did nothing of importance, that would change the direction that has always been one way. And because of the prejudice, hatred, and bigotry, in their hearts, they really believed that his and their actions, were controlled by themselves. NOT. YHWH (GOD) always has a plan for the disobedience of the person, people, or nation. (especially the ones He has sanctioned and are called by His name), who from all outward appearances made claim to have committed themselves to Him: Let us use the Pledge of Allegiance (loyalty) to the flag (which was and is a symbol of unity), as an example of our unrelenting shame. In it, the effort was supposedly suggested, to include all people who genuinely love our nation. The phrases, I thought interesting are: One Nation Under God, (committing and living our lives by the righteous guide, commands, and love of GOD), Indivisible (unable to be broken apart by any adversarial means, through righteous living), with justice, (make things right by living in right relationship with God, one another, and the natural creation), and liberty (the freedom of people from unjust restraints or abridgment of their rights and independence by another person or government), should have been intended for all.  It was meant to unite, but, in most cases, it divided.

Now, it is YHWH’s (GOD) turn to bring out His big gun (the WORD) and deploy His angels, whether of death or life, to continue to right the wrongs that have divided us; He is saying enough is enough. So, as the rapid wheels, of time turns ever so closely towards judgement and eternity, it is in these difficult times, which Yashuah told us would be, that all our unnecessary baggage will be shaken off and only that which is of service to the LORD will remain.  Yashuah is showing us the way, but we must take hold of His hand, so He can guide us through. This is not a trial; you do not get a do over with this life. That is why now, especially, on every turn, we must watch and pray because there is something that will, without a doubt, come before us, on us or through us: that will either bring us closer to Yashuah (Jesus) or drive us farther and farther away: He put before us life or death, which will you choose. But God’s plans for your and my lives are being played out, with an urgency. He is forever calling to us to come, through whatever message He deems necessary, (He will leave the 99 for the 1). 

Will it get worst? I do not know, but God knows, and He promises to be our refuge (if we come to Him), in times of all troubles. When dreams and hopes are crumbling and our world, as we know it, and the strength of nation is threatened and almost shaken to its core, the time is not to bear arms, dirty mouths nor minds but to seek out and find the One who, loves us all, and can put this whole mess into perspective with a WORD (JESUS). Sometimes we must go through great sorrows, for God to get our attention. But God, in the wake of this midnight hour, as we are being steady in our commitment to Him, will give us a song in our heart. And laughter will be our medicine all the day long. GODS GOT IT NO WORRY NO FEAR.

Everything unnecessary will be removed. Neh. 5:13 Nehemiah 5:13 I also shook out the folds of my robe and said, “In this way may God shake out of their house and possessions anyone who does not keep this promise. So may such a person be shaken out and emptied!” At this the whole assembly said, “Amen,” and praised the Lord. And the people did as they had promised.

That ye be not soon shaken in mind. 2 Thessalonian 2:1- 4, 6-17 1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, 2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. 3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. 7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. 8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: 9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. 13 But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth: 14 Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. 15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle. 16 Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace, 17 Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work..

SOMETIMES GOD HAS TO SHAKE THE TREE TO SEE WHAT FALLS OUT

Sometimes it takes starting with a good shaking up; to interrupt complacency and go from an empty and hollowed place to the recognition of each and every one of our value and contributions to the whole. Just as the body is made to work together with multiple parts (created that way by GOD), so is man. When we put things in perspective we will realize that his purpose and responsibility are to work together to accomplish the will of GOD. “Romans 12:3-5 3 God has given me His loving-favor. This helps me write these things to you. I ask each one of you not to think more of himself than he should think. Instead, think in the right way toward yourself by the faith God has given you. 4 Our bodies are made up of many parts. None of these parts have the same use. 5 There are many people who belong to Christ. And yet, we are one body which is Christ’s. We are all different but we depend on each other.” This can only be done with an honest loving heart, an intentional plan, wrapped in the love of Yashuah, to get back on the righteous path. We, the people, not just in our homes, but our country, and the world are not blameless for the state we are in. Instead of continuous name calling, laying blame and disrespecting, “Matthew 7:12 “So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.” Instead of looking down and pushing down, give me your hand, I will help lift you up; “Romans 14:10 Why do you pass judgment on your brother? Or you, why do you despise your brother? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of God;” Instead of holding on to the old isms, which brings anxiety, to try and keep all from tasting the sweetness of freedom or breathing the air of contentment, “take your knee off my neck and allow me to freely express my opinions and concerns and walk the streets of this world and not be afraid; “Isaiah 35:4 Say to those who have an anxious heart, “Be strong; fear not! Behold, your God will come with vengeance, with the recompense of God. He will come and save you.” GODS GOT IT NO WORRY NO FEAR.

IN THE MIDDLE OF THESE STORMS JESUS WILL HOLD US UP AND BE THE LIFTER OF OUR HEADS

When we find ourselves going through pain, diseases, discomforts, etc., we feel helpless and sometimes even hopeless.   Our first reaction is to cry out to the LORD, to help us and in His time, He does. Yet, while we experience the pain (that seems perpetual (to go on forever, never letting up), and wounds (whether heart, mind, body, or soul), that appears incurable, it is to our advantage to speak the truth and sow the seeds of righteousness to one another. We must wait patiently and thank God, through Yashuah, for what we have, while continuing to hold on to His promises, that through it all He will never leave nor forsake us. (Hebrews 13:5 Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee).

Because due to the magnitude of our sins, flagrant disobedience, refusal to acknowledge God as the one and only god and Yashuah as His Son, accepting and following His commands (the commandments), statues, and laws (of heaven and while on earth), the infirmities that are upon us, refuse to be healed. But God’s truths are sufficient, and they will hold us up and support us through life’s storms.

DO NOT ALLOW OTHERS TO CONTROL THE MOST PRECIOUS PART OF YOUR EXISTENCE: YOUR LIFE (EARTHLY OR ETERNITY).

All of us have our moments when we are going through a sickness, plagued by a disease or just sick in our thinking.  We need something, that is YAH, inspired, to help lift us up and show us that we can get through anything (enemy), that attacks us with the LORD on our side. In the government of your life, you and GOD are the majority. There is no outside person or condition that should have such a profound influence on your life (moral thinking, speaking, loving or doing), that you are misdirected and guided off the path of your destiny (purpose, fate). It is necessary for you to make up your own mind as how you want to live your life; I hope to the fullness and as a reflection of our Christ. Because every time you agree with GOD’s Word (Yashuah, Jesus), and not bend to the will of man, everything works to your good. YHWH wants to use everyone for the building up of His kingdom, but He can only use the ones who come, open themselves up and is willing to listen to Him and obey His commandments, do the righteous thing. For this, there is no special preparation, but you come as you are, sick, tired, diseased, torn, downtrodden, lonely, disheartened, etc., in whatever state you are in, His invitation is to come. When we come with a humble and meek heart and confess that we are sinners, He will heal the landscape of our mind, the speech from our mouth, the beat of our heart, the body as a whole and the integrity of our soul. Because you and only you, will answer for your life while on earth, in preparation for eternity. GODS GOT IT NO WORRY NO FEAR.

Exodus 15:26

26 He said, “If you listen carefully to the Lord your God and do what is right in his eyes, if you pay attention to his commands and keep all his decrees, I will not bring on you any of the diseases I brought on the Egyptians, for I am the Lord, who heals you.”

Celebrating the New Year with parties (night clubs, bars or even friends’ home) and family gatherings, (dinners) is great.  But what happen after the party is over or when you retire to your home and no one is around, what then? We sat back and make our resolution! What is a resolution anyway? It is a determination, a resolve, intention, decision, intent, aim, aspiration, design; a firm decision to do or not to do something. All in all, I like to define it as one’s commitment to do something that betters themselves and their existence and others around them. DO YOU INCLUDE GOD? (Proverbs 3:6 In everything you do, put God first, and he will direct you and crown your efforts with success).

Yes, after all the ill-gotten things we did during the previous year, we vow, to God, not to do it again but do better in our efforts to change or add more positive things to our lives. Most of us accept the fact that we need to be responsible for our own charge, (To lay on, as a duty; Gen. 40:4, to entrust to; assigned), given to us by Yashuah, and that which we bring to the worlds table. But, unless we are going to commit our lives to YHWH and make concrete resolutions to try as hard as possible to stick to them, maybe we should throw caution to the wind and go whichever way it blows.  Saying that to say this, it is more admirable to show some concern as to what YAH’s will is for us then take responsibility of our own life to help determine the course and the outcome; not sit around and play the wait and see what any one person or the world is going to do. But get with the One who knows the best for all of us, GOD. 

My aim for this coming year is to stay in the Word and try not to make the mistakes I found myself making last year. Not because I had to make them but because every now and then, knowing better mind you, I would get this notion that I really could run my life myself and some things I thought I would be “grown” enough to take care of myself without consulting Him first.  I chose not to include GOD in my decision-making process. I took the world’s route in doing the things I knew should have been God’s; they went awry.  Learning from experience can be a hateful lady but that is one of the best ways to learn and remember.  Now do not get me wrong. There are some instances where YAH insist on us stepping out on our own; treading the water to see what we come up with. That is called growth. But there are decisions that always need His attention first, so we will know the correct way to proceed, whether with caution or straight ahead with confident.

I am not going to say this will work for everyone, but I do know that to help make all the other resolves that I commit to work, in my heart, I know that I need Yashuah in the forefront of all I do.  (Matthew 19:26 But Jesus looked at them and said to them, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”) Even though it may not be apparent to us and our understanding, and we cannot see a way, the possibility of it happening by man’s might is impossible, but with God all things, no matter how big or small, are possible; it is in His own time and through our patience that we see the outcome. Therefore, to seek God first in all I do is the number one thing I plan to do, so that He will help and guide me to do the righteous thing. By using the mirror of His love (the Bible) to establish the foundation of my attempts, (to understand His word, walk in His way and do His will), and consideration of the things needing change in my life, is the priority in my life.

Last year gave all of us a lot to think of. It brought a large amount of us to our knees who, when things were going great, never thought of YHWH, Yashuah or the Holy Spirit as being instrumental to our mere existence.  But when the bottom fell out of our lives, most saints, and others, turned to the One and only One who could guide us through the uncertainties of this season. (43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert). This was a good move; Live and learn.  Now that we look back, we should thank God, in Jesus’ name, that we made it through to see another year: God, there were so many that did not, and we thank you.  So, be about the business that YHWH has set before you and remain steady in His presence, knowing that He will be your ever-present help in every area of your life. There have been and will be difficulties that come, to test the commitment and resolutions we make. But know that when things seem to be crumbling all around us and our world is shaken, (with great sorrows), YHWH will put a song on our lips and peace in our hearts, (in the midnight season), to help us through these trials, troubles, and tribulations. May the LORD bless and keep all of you, through this year and those to come. (Psalm 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble). GODS GOT IT NO WORRY NO FEAR.

GOD MAY GET ANGRY WITH US BUT HE NEVER LOSES HIS LOVE FOR US

God is angry with the world and especially His people. And He is showing this through various trials, troubles, and tribulations. And as He continues to try and get our attention, man has insisted on going his own way and do his own thing.  But GOD is a good God and His love for us overrides His anger toward us; He has mercy on us and give His grace anew every day. He knows our ways and even what we will do before we do it, but He still have mercy on us and heal us from our spiritual, mental, and physical infirmities. He leads, those who call on His name and honestly want to come back to Him, through the process of restoration and finding comfort, joy, and peace in Him. And He constantly take into consideration all, (the ones led astray), who are diligently following those who do not have anyone but self in mind, and He heals them also. And the joy of the LORD becomes the echoes in our hearts as we exclaim peace on our lips for everyone, for those who have gone to the left and are far from the arms of YAH and for those who have chosen to stay the course, on the right, even though it is rocky; when we remain steady and ask, He will heal.  GODS GOT IT NO WORRY NO FEAR.

Isaiah 57:17-19

17 For the iniquity of his covetousness was I wroth, and smote him: I hid me, and was wroth, and he went on frowardly in the way of his heart.

18 I have seen his ways, and will heal him: I will lead him also, and restore comforts unto him and to his mourners.

19 I create the fruit of the lips; Peace, peace to him that is far off, and to him that is near, saith the Lord; and I will heal him.

RUN YOUR RACE:GOOD, CLEAN, HONEST AND TRUE: WITH LOVE

When everyone runs their own race; good, clean, honest, and true with love and kindness all will receive a great reward. We are being made ready for the task. With training we are receiving daily, (all the trials, troubles, and tribulations), we are and have been prepared to compete and win, not against one another but the evil and darkness in this world.  If we continue to run the race of this world, the reward we receive will not last. But as we run, we should all, run our individual race, with peace, passion, and purpose, toward Him who holds the finish line. Not just to be running and then fall by the wayside, but one who is committed to his race and will see it to the end. 1 Corinthians 9:24-26 24 Know ye not that they which run in a race run all*, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. 25 And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things*. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible. 26 I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air: GODS GOT IT NO WORRY NO FEAR.

AND THIS TOO SHALL PASS: FIX YOUR EYES ON GOD’S PROMISES NOT THE PROBLEMS

Our troubles which are heavy today are allowed so that we may achieve eternal glory, which is greater and more significant than what is happening now. We cannot see His purpose, because we have our eyes fixed on the problem, which is temporary, but we must fix our eyes on the promise which is eternal. Therefore, when we go to Him as our refuge and abide under the shelter of His mighty wings, as His children, we will see our deliverance. He has heard our petitions. GODS GOT IT NO WORRY NO FEAR.

2 Corinthians 4:17-18

17 For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. 18 So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

ALL OF US ARE PLAYING A PART IN THIS TIME OF UNCERTAINTIES: EACH NEED TO GET SELF TOGETHER

It is no doubt that YHWH, through Yashuah, loves us and want to see us finish our race with grace and prosperity (mind, body, and soul). But we, as a nation, have become such arrogant and rebellious children, some a little more than others.  This has become a great concern to God, and He is showing us through all the unusual occurrences that are taking place today; trying to get our attention through many avenues. But it still stands in truth that YHWH, due to the great love He has for us, has gotten angry with us because we refuse to serve Him with a whole heart.  We piece mill it by throwing Him a crumb of worship, here and there, then all our other time is spent serving self or man. Yet, in this moment where we feel abandoned, forgotten, forsaken, alone and confused, with His deep love for us, YHWH will see us through it all and take us back into His arms of love, peace, joy, and happiness.  God has not forgotten those who call on, trust in, and believe in Him. Keep loving, praying, and expecting all things from the LORD. (Isaiah 54:7-9 7 “For a brief moment I abandoned you, but with deep compassion I will bring you back. 8 In a surge of anger I hid my face from you for a moment, but with everlasting kindness I will have compassion on you,” says the Lord your Redeemer. 9 “To me this is like the days of Noah, when I swore that the waters of Noah would never again cover the earth. So now I have sworn not to be angry with you, never to rebuke you again. GODS GOT IT NO WORRY NO FEAR.
