PART III – ILLUMINATE OUR EYES WITH THE SIGHT OF AN EAGLE SO WE CAN SEE CLEARLY IN ALL SITUATIONS OR CIRCUMSTANCES

To See: is not only to perceive with the eyes, recognize visually but also to behold or detect: it is a state of mind to discern or deduce (comprehend, follow, understand, grasp, realize) mentally after reflection (serious thought or consideration; to study) on a particular subject. We can also come to realizations or conclusions from information that we have been exposed or has been shared with us. Just saying that to see is not with the eyes only but also with the heart.

Yashuah open our eyes so that we will see the beauty in all Your creation and your law for guidance (Psalm 119:18 Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law). He opened our hearts eyes to see the beauty in all men, looking to their heart for the righteous goodness that all possess. Since the world has been their guide for such a long time, it may be hiding in the depth of their darken souls. (2 Corinthians 4:4 – In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them). To see this righteousness we, our self, must come out of the world so we will be able to recognize what Truth really is. But as YHWH saw our hearts and did not give up on us for our lack of understanding, so should we be toward our fellow man. He sent His only Son (who does that? But YHWH!) because He saw and considered that, deep down inside, most of us, as His creation, want to be and do right.  We need only, the prompting of the Holy Spirit to lift the veil of deceit from our eyes and help us to understand that YHWH loves us more than we can imagine. Then we will be able to grasp what the devil is doing to the world (without sight we cannot see but set idly by, and watch Yashuah’s proposed purpose and life pass us by because we refuse to see Truth.

It seems to be more popular these days to do the wrong thing than to do the righteous thing, just as long as everybody is doing it and sees it as being okay (this is the justification we give it after we have been expose to or it has been shared with us, whether it is wrong or right). And it is up to the individual to want to see, with eyes of Yashuah, the needs of our fellow man and help without judgmental implications and never with ungodly provocation or participation. (Isaiah 5:19-21 They even mock the Holy One of Israel and dare the Lord to punish them. “Hurry up and punish us, O Lord,” they say. “We want to see what you can do!” 20 They say that what is right is wrong and what is wrong is right; that black is white and white is black; bitter is sweet and sweet is bitter. 21 Woe to those who are wise and shrewd in their own eyes)!

And heaven help those of us that when we see someone committing an evil deed, and we do not say something or do something. Do not sit back and watch a crime or injustice being committed and turn your eyes from it (and please do not participate in it): like the riots that are going on now. Understand this, that when Satan see an opportunity (usually when we have been fed the bitter fruit of discontent, he sees this as an open door for him to come in (but this see is one we do not invite nor ever want), to cause us to reap ill-gotten gain and destruction, he jumps on it. He is the accuser and he will use our weaknesses and worldly minds to destroy us and all that is around us. (Zechariah 3:1-2 3 Then he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the Lord, and Satan standing at his right side to accuse him. 2 The Lord said to Satan, “The Lord rebuke you, Satan! The Lord, who has chosen Jerusalem, rebuke you! Is not this man a burning stick snatched from the fire?)”  We must see our self clear of looting, killing, and burning, this is not right. (this does not include the action of our peace makers, that is a different story, which take too long to tell), while the peaceful marchers stand and watch in horror. We must ask Yashuah to help us to see ways to make a situation better and not worst.

We have all been given a family, may not be the greatest or not by our design,( what family is without problems),but YAH has allowed us to be blessed (yes I said blessed) with the family we have. And He did so for a reason. If we can see the goodness in our family, no matter how far left they go, accept them as they are and realize that they, as they are, plays a very important part in our spiritual and natural growth. Our prayer should be, “while looking at our family, do not let us focus on the flaws but allow us to see the jewels we have in each one of our family members, seeing the goodness in them. Because we all have (a portion of the beam mentality) a way of viewing something or another with a cynical intentions, in our eyes, which prevents us from seeing as clear as we could, if we removed it. We must first remove the large beam (our shortcomings and sins) from our own eye, and then we may, (with the help of the Holy Spirit’s guidance), come to the point where we can help our brother or sister remove the small splinter from their eye. When we learn to see goodness in our families, it will not be hard to extend that view out to our friends, neighbors, world family and even our enemies. Once we have the sight of LOVE, our lives will be the better for it and the peace of YAH will dwell in our souls. Great is the One who has given us the vision to see past the pains, problems, shortcomings, etc., and the ability to persevere toward the Light of Yashuah, in our eyes.  Because of Him our eyes are opened to the Good News of His Word; we were blind but now we see.

Matthew 7:1-3 7 Judge not, that ye be not judged. 2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. 3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

“Why it is import that we come to Yashuah, especially in time such as this.” Part II

MONITOR OUR THOUGHTS HOLY SPIRIT, SO WE CAN MASTER OUR MIND

Proverbs 23:7 For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee.

My Holy Father, in Your Son, My Saviour’s name we ask You to clear out the wrong way of thinking, in our minds, and elevate our thinking so that we will have a mind worthy of you LORD. A made up and mastered mind, one to be able to think on the good and lovely things and meditate on thoughts for good and not evil. Help us to train our mind to lean toward the positive and think on things that are conducive to the building up of your Kingdom and the lives of others, as well as our own. Help us to think, continually on the goodness of Your love and with passion and purpose, as a little child receive every one of Your promises of love, peace, joy, and happiness.  

And with a clear and open mind, have faith and trust, in You Lord, that when we ask, You will give us the strength so we can make up our own mind and monitor our own thoughts. When we change our way of thinking and do not allow negative thoughts to sit in our mind, all day, and meditate on them we can actually change the course of our life. Clear and concise thinking, (powered by the will of YAH), can take you from a not so bright future to one that shines with the light of the Son.  This illumination will give us the light we need to unlock the darkness of our minds and give us the understanding of why we focus on ungodly or negative things: it rid us of the lies that have assailed our minds for so long that we are most likely to accept them as truths.

Think on this, a negative, poor me, I am nothing, I am stupid, nobody loves or like me, I fail at everything I try, etc., are not the nature of a child of YAH. After you have wrapped your mind around the negative things you think on ask yourself this question. Who are these thoughts authored by and why are they so freely given to you? First, they are authored by Satan. And the only thing they are meant to do for you is to discourage, destroy, deny (have you noticed that most all negative words begins with “D”) and bring your life to a confused, messy stand-still. Nothing good comes from negative thoughts, they have no good worth in them. But with a good hope we pray that Yashuah take the veil from our mind so we may think on the goodness of His word, will and way and are filled with positive, love, joy, wholeness and prosperity (spiritually and physically). We only need to ask, and the LORD will give us wisdom, knowledge and understanding to those of us who are righteously seeking Him and the mysteries of His Love. (Proverbs 2:6-7 6 For the Lord giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding. 7 He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly) (7 amplified – He holds success in store for the upright, he is a shield to those whose walk is blameless).

For our minds to come close to the way Yashuah thinks, we must first have a renewal of our mind. Because without it we cannot understand the will of YAH. His will is not presented to a dirty, cluttered mind but one that is clear of the debris that hinders the understanding of His word. (Romans 12:2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will).

The dictation of this world, as to what we think say or how we act, has been so great, that we nonchalantly go about our day without thinking of what we are concentrating on, even if it is the wrong thought/way of thinking. So, in order for us to receive the righteous way of thinking, we must first clean out all the clutter, (the way we have trained our minds to think), that has built up over the years, and allow Yashuah to replace it with His righteous thinking.  This is so true of today’s society. Because of the way we view “self” it will be hard, but it can be done with much prayer and determination. (Proverb 16:3 Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and he will establish your plans).

 Since we have been taught to consider self, first, now we must be untaught. Our way of thinking and what we think on can change if we consider the basis of all righteous functions of our mind, love and follow one important scripture given to us: love (think) of  YHWH, first and of others. (Mark 12: 30 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ 31 The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.”

So, to continue to move forward toward a more perfect way of thinking and state of mind (considering our limitation on perfection for now), we must train our way of thinking to always make an effort to think on the righteous things in life. (Philippians 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things). Our minds may not be where they need to be but with YAH all things are possible, even misguided thinking. Gods got it no worry no fear.

Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

“WHY IT IS IMPORTANT THAT WE COME TO YASHUAH, ESPECIALLY IN A TIME SUCH AS THIS”

This is going to be a five-part series on “Why it is import that we come to Yashuah, especially in time such as this.”One thing for sure that if we put our trust in Him, we will know how to react to the situations going on in the world today.  This is a basic and fundamental (forming a necessary base or core; of the central importance of knowing who is always on our side and whom we ought to serve and follow), teaching in the Word, Bible, which is our guide for daily living. It gives us the ammunition and resolve for our life’s journey while facing anxieties and joys, as we live in these uncertain times. Since man has gotten so full of himself and replaced love compassion and caring for one another, with greed, being uncaring and inconsiderate, it has become critical that we give our salvation (eternity) immediate attention and act in a state of urgency.  Because try as we may to predict the future, and what it will intel, when we become truly honest with our self (seeing the writing on the world’s wall), and admit we control nothing, we will then understand that only YHWH knows what the end will be; better to be prepared than to stand before the LORD and say “I had planned to or I didn’t know.” This series is comprised of the five strengths, which are basic truths offered to all, who are serious about living a life pleasing to Yashuah, (in the spiritual and natural abundance He offers) and being content with whatever situation we find ourselves in;  knowing that YHWH has it and we can do it without worry or fear.  So, whether we are going through and think that we have a lack of or whether we have gone through and reaped the reward of, it is in times of troubles, trials and tribulations we find that in these tests, YHWH, through Yashuah and the Holy Spirit, (if we lean on Him), are always close; walking with us and sometimes carrying us in His footsteps of love. (Philippians 4:12 know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need).

Lord, my prayer to You today is, that You give us wisdom to understand and the knowledge to receive what You have for us to hear, think, see, say, and receive, and do today and every day.  And for what is going on in the world today, take us to Your Word (Yashuah) to enlighten us with Your revelations so that we will not be overwhelmed. And as we face unexpected, harmful, or disheartening challenges, because of our instructions from Your Word, the guide so lovingly and graciously given to us to help in our daily life, we will be prepared. In Yashuah’s name we pray, Amen.

Part I – TO LISTEN FOR AND HEAR YHWH’S WORD IS LIFE

Listen, can you hear the small and powerful voice of Yashuah calling you to come.  Each time you face a difficulty He is saying, come to Him, rely on Him. But first we must be willing to take our focus off the madness around us and listen to hear His voice calling us to come. And from all the confusion and delusions, He will give us rest. It is from whatever we are going through (yes, from this virus) and secure us in His loving arms and say take MY yoke upon you, not the world’s and I will give you the rest you need to go through this life and to the one to come. Yashuah’s yoke is easier to bear because He has borne it for us; dying on the cross, rising from the dead, now sitting on the right side of the Father, interceding for our sins: making us pure enough for the LORD to take notice of such sinful things as we are.

When we have committed our selves to hear the voice of Yashuah, listening to His words, we will gain wisdom, knowledge, and the ability to understand why things are happening as they are. We are not limited to the world’ and man’s mercy; to tell us what they think. And when the LORD allows troubles, trials and tribulations to come and we are caused pain or suffering if we hear His voice, He will give us teachers that will come to the foreground, of our life, like never before to help convey His message of love, hope, joy, patience, peace and perseverance. And we will know, because we have heard, that they have been sent, strengthen, and encouraged to walk, in an ungodly time, with YHWH as their help to spread the Good News.  And because we open our ears to hear, we will be able to hear the voice of Yashuah, through His teachers, telling us to come to Him so that we might walk in His righteous way. In doing so we will continue to hear His voice telling us to walk in His safe, secure and righteous way(Isaiah 30:20-21 20 Although the Lord gives you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, your teachers will be hidden no more; with your own eyes you will see them. 21 Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way; walk in it.” So, to hear the Word is to gain knowledge and to gain knowledge from the Word, is to increase our faith to be able to believe and not have a superficial relationship with YHWH. (Romans 10:17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God). Also, to hear is the first step to coming to Christ with an honest heart; which is what Yashuah is after: those who are serious, those who after they have given their lives to Him, can be used as vessels of gold, bronze or silver (ones that cannot tarnish, decay or broken) to encourage and inspire others to come. Hear the Word of the LORD. What is He saying to you? Understand this, that if we are true children of YAH, and He has called us or put His anointing on us, we can run all we want but He Is going to keep calling us (and causing things to happen)  until we finally acknowledge that we hear Him, stand still and allow Him to use us as He will. So, when we hear the voice of our Saviour, calling us to come, do not be afraid and let us not ignore Him but quickly run to His throne of grace and mercy. Because one thing for sure when we heed the voice of our Lord, it is the best assurance we can ever get for life abundant (spiritual and natural) here on earth and eternally. And no man can contend with YHWH’s elect. Even in death, they have already been redeemed. John 10:27-29 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. 29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand. Gods got it no worry no fear.

There is a peace in the valley of love; a calm on the mountain of YAH’s miracles. 

What is peace? It is the absent of fighting and quarreling, in any form or fashion:  whether it is the fighting with other nations; other people; the fighting among family, friends; or a fighting within self. Peace is love (the agape LOVE, YHWH’s LOVE – one that you learn from practicing and following the prompting of the Holy Spirit, it is the greatest degree of all love), it is a freedom from disturbance, it is tranquility. Your valley is the place where YHWH meet you and He always meet you with LOVE. And when Elohim, through Yashuah, gives it to you it will surpass all understanding you thought you possessed, watch over and protect your hearts and mind, against damage or harm. (Philippians 4:7  And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus). And the sinful and evil things done, past or present, (when asked, in Yashuah’s name for forgiveness) will be forgiven; you see, love covers a multitude of sin. (Proverbs 10:12 Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth all sins). And when Yashuah forgives it is forgotten.  

You must throw, those who are against you, a life line from Yashuah, because most of the time they are the ones that are confused and hurting, and don’t know what to do or where to go. (Hebrews 6:19 It’s an unbreakable spiritual lifeline, reaching past all appearances (what is going on to you or from someone else), right to the very presence of God). So from the storms that are rising in your life today, (your boat may rock, your tree may sway, the night may seem so long as if it will never turn into day), you (each of us individually can turn to the person beside us and offer them the hand of Yashuah) and YAH’s peace will always be there to see you through the tough times (and good). It is imperative that as you go through life and encounter these trials, troubles, and situations, that you “must” seek Yashuah in all things, first. Do not put Him on the back burner or in a box and then when all hell break loose, summon Him when you are ready.  No, call on Him before the storms hits, so you can be in a valley (in this instance the valley is a place of protection, guarded by walls of mountains), of love, at peace and prepared for whatever life throws at you, at all time. Hate is a cancer: Love is the answer.

Now you see that if you remain in the valley of love (a state of mind that leads to a peaceful, warm, tender and affect life; a place without strife), the mountains of YAH miracles will rise up to meet your needs. They will surround you with power and continued peace; they will protect you from all dangers and harms. It is with YHWH’s miraculous ways, through Yashuah, that He will hold us steady in the world you live in today. (Psalm 119:133 Direct my steps by Your word, And let no iniquity have dominion over me). Even though you live in the world He sets you apart from the world by giving you the ability to see it as it really is; then He gives, those who call on His name and choose to serve Him, the ability to endure all things. (Deuteronomy 14:2 You have been set apart as holy to the Lord your God, and he has chosen you from all the nations of the earth to be his own special treasure).

Everyday YHWH, through His Son, our Saviour, Yashuah, performs miracles in your life. None, deserve them, but because of His love for us, He keeps us in the valley (the valley of love) and He hold us steady on the mountain (the world) where all of His miracles are performed at all times: to see them we must believe. (Mark 9:23 “ ‘If you can’?” said Jesus. “Everything is possible for one who believes.”)

All, Who Have Confessed Their Sins and Come To Christ, Yashuah, and Have Faith, Have been Made the Children of God. YHWH has no respect for a particular person

So, when you are looking around at all YAH’s creation, thank Him for allowing you to see it and being able to share it with the rest of the world. Thank Him for the wonderful work that He (through His Son Yashuah) is about to do with everything, inclusive of this thing happening today and all that is about to happen. And thank Him for being in control of our valleys and mountains.  Thank Him that there is a peace in the valley of love; a calm on the mountain of YAH’s miracles.  In Yashuah’s Name. Amen. God’s got it no worry no fear.

Galatians 3:23-29 (NIV) 23 Before the coming of this faith, we were held in custody under the law, locked up until the faith that was to come would be revealed. 24 So the law was our guardian until Christ came that we might be justified by faith. 25 Now that this faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian (as in a king, president, bishop, etc). 26 So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith, 27 for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.

WHEN TEMPTATIONS COME, THINK ON YHWH’S COMMANDMENTS

We are all tempted to yield, at one time or another, to temptations/sin, (to lie, cheat, steal, commit adultery, covet, worship idols (houses, cars, statues, flags, even other people etc.), and even kill. If we think about it all of the commandments given by, YHWH, that He told us not to do, those are the ones we do consistently; which is contrary to Gods flow of things; His Word, (Yashuah), will and way.

Yashuah did not say that we were not going to be tempted, He was, and passed with flying colors just to show that man can overcome whatever temptations, trial, trouble, or tribulation which he must confront. As a matter of fact, He said that it is inevitable that we would be tempted. And with all that is plaguing the world today, temptations are sure to come at all of us and in many forms and all sorts of ways. (Luke 17:1- Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come!) But we must fight and we must hang in there, with our Lord and Saviour, and while reading His Word, praising, praying, worshipping and singing songs of praise, we will realize that, through His strength, He will not allow us to be tempted more that we can stand: when you stand with Yashuah, you stand in His great and awesome power. You may suffer, something painful or difficult, for a while, but if you continue to lean on and have faith in Him, with His strength you will be able to go through patiently. (1 Corinthians 10:13 (NIV) 13 No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it. As Yashuah is faithful to us, He wants us to faithful to Him.

So, YHWH has laid out the way our lives should go, according to His Word, Yashuah, and when we follow this plan it is safe to say that as we are striving to keep the Ten Commandments (really there are more than ten), even when we fail (because life gets in the way), while trying, Yashuah will strengthen us. His strength will be with us as we go through and eventually, when we overcome our temptation; then we will go through another.  And if we pay attention to the will of YHWH, through Yashuah, we will understand how it works.  As we are tempted, we learn not to yield so that when another one arises, we will be better equipped to face it, and not give in to it. Gods got it no worry no fear.

Exodus 20:1-17 (NIV)

The Ten Commandments

1 And God spoke all these words:

2 “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.

3 “You shall have no other gods before[a] me.

4 “You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. 5 You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, 6 but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments.

7 “You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God, for the Lord will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name.

8 “Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. 9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is a sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your male or female servant, nor your animals, nor any foreigner residing in your towns. 11 For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.

12 “Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the Lord your God is giving you.

13 “You shall not murder.

14 “You shall not commit adultery.

15 “You shall not steal.

16 “You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor.

17 “You shall not covet your neighbor’s house. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his male or female servant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.”

IN THE MIDST OF DARKNESS, CONTINUE TO LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE

There is so much going on today that many of us are getting confused about what we, especially the children of YHWH, are to do in times such as these. Well, first we must seek Yashuah with all our heart, and call on Him to help us, to continue to let our light shine, in the midst of this ongoing storm: while standing firm in our fight with love, (Proverbs 10:12  Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth all sins) not hate. Love is going to free us from bondage, spiritually, mentally, and physically.

And, while all this is happening, it is time for us to take another look at the source and then lay down our physical and mental swords of differences. When we do this, it will be easy for us to be willing to recognize the source (where it is coming from) and take notice to what, why, when, and how it is happening. One thing we realize is that we have forgotten YAH’s Word and how to use it as our daily guide; giving over to our imaginations and Satan’s ( his only purpose is to cause chaos, disorder, death, and destruction), influence. But once we recognize this and have conceded to who it is that we are really fighting, we realize that all along Yashuah was there, He is the solution.  So with His power and authority we must pick up our spiritual sword, the WORD, to fight the enemy at hand: the one who has come in the form of a man to destroy YAH’s people and the whole land. With YHWH, through Yashuah, all things work out for the good for those who love and serve Him. Gods got it no worry no fear.

1 Peter 2:12Conduct yourselves with such honor among the Gentiles that, though they slander you as evildoers, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day He visits us.

Proverbs 4:18But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.

Matthew 5:16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

Matthew 24:11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.

2 Timothy 3:12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. 13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. 14 But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;

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

1 Peter 5:8 “Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.”

 2 Corinthians 2:11 “in order that Satan might not outwit us. For we are not unaware of his schemes.”

WHAT IS REALLY GOING ON? GOD’S POWER NOT MAN’S WILL HEAL THE LAND

Sometimes YHWH will allow evil leaders to come into being so that He can show His power through them that His name may be declared in all the earth (Exodus 9:16).  This is happening today. First, we must understand what purpose is being played out in the YHWH scheme of things. His will will always be done and what or whoever is needed, they or it will be used to serve His purpose. Sometimes we do not understand this and no matter how grave it may seem it is always for the good of the whole. So, as children of the Most High God, we are to continue to plant the seed of love, peace, hope and righteousness so that we will reap a definite reward. But for those who think that they are using their power to do their own work and commit evil against the whole, they have sinned, greatly against YAH, and they will reap their reward. (Romans 13:1 All authority comes from God, and those in positions of authority have been placed there by God” Psalm 75:6-7  For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south. 7 But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another; John 19:10-11 10 Then saith Pilate unto him, Speakest thou not unto me? knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and have power to release thee? 11 Jesus answered,Thou couldest have no power at all against* me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin. Proverbs 11:18 The wicked worketh a deceitful work: but to him that soweth righteousness shall be a sure reward.).

It is safe to say that the leaders of this world (without knowledge, but Gods got it under control) are trying to lead us straight to hell in a bottomless hand basket. And blindly and with much fear (of man), those who have chosen to support and believe in the constant rhetoric and misinformation of the ones chosen to represent us, are aiding in the destruction of this great nation not to mention their own souls. YHWH have allowed you to be caught up in a maze, placing a veil of lack of understanding and seeing the truth over your eyes and heart. And instead of leading us to solutions for our circumstances and doing what it takes to bring you through the good and perilous times, you are given false information and bad representation from “man” and accepting it as truth. Yet, through all of this, Yashuah has given us the wisdom, knowledge, and strength so that we may, suffer through the painful or difficult with joy, peace, and patient, until He comes. (Matthew 24:11-27 11 Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. 12 And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. 13 But he who endures to the end shall be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come). The only real solution, at this juncture in time, (this should have been happening, daily, way before now), is to pray, pray, pray. And if we do not choose Yashuah, instead of man, our destination has been determined by man. It is up to you, follow man and the world, to total damnation or Yashuah to a glorious eternity.

But that is our choice. It is amazing that people, who go to church, say they believe yet put their trust in man and not YHWH. What is that all about? If you are not going to believe in Yashuah, you may as well live the sloppy life that the world and man serve up to you every day, pack your little fireproof bag and wait. Not kidding and not judging, just telling the truth (something that most have forgotten is a requisite of Yashuah). Most people do not want to hear about heaven or hell, but just because you do not believe in either does not mean they do not exist and that in your appointed time to leave this earth, you will not be setting up resident in one or the other.  I

All the good and bad things that are going on today is foretold in the WORD, so there are no secrets to what is happening (like man is doing to keep everyone, but a few in the dark). It was out of hatred and selfishness that we chose to keep our heads hidden in the sands of truth and reality. Now it is coming home to roost and confront each of us, bringing about our individual and collective revelation. Now is the time to use the Key (Yashuah) to unlock the door to the information to our salvation. This truth is held within the Bible and our responsibility is to open it and read: asking Elohim for understanding and discernment, (negating man and all of his illusions), as you sincerely study His word.

When you seek the answer, you will know why YHWH, through Yashuah, is allowing this, particular, group of leaders to cause disturbance, turmoil, disorder, and seemingly ruin to our nation. In revelation we see that our nation which could be referred to as Babylon (the Great Whore – Revelation 17) (not so flattering reference), is coming to the same conclusion. It tells of her being raised up and then the fall she experiences and those who were in cahoots with her, fall also. 

But YHWH, through it all, has it all under control and much to our surprise, He does not need any help from any of us. He only wants us to trust Him and believe that what we are experiencing is just the beginning but, in the end, everything is going to work out for the good of our entirety: spiritually, physically, naturally and eternally. Gods got it no worry no fear.

Revelation 17

Babylon, the Prostitute on the Beast

17 One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the punishment of the great prostitute, who sits by many waters. 2 With her the kings of the earth committed adultery, and the inhabitants of the earth were intoxicated with the wine of her adulteries.”

To be continued.

WITH HELP FROM YASHUAH WE CAN BE STRONG ENOUGH TO CHANGE

The affect (an impact or change), we are seeking with opened eyes, through our efforts (with Yashuah’s help), will eventually bring about the effect, which is the result of that change, which is needed (not by some but by all), in due time (2 Corinthians 3:18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord).  To have a prosperous, peaceful, and joyous life, you must move toward love with all vigor and an explosion of righteousness, receiving it from YAH, toward self and others. We must get to the point of not thinking only of our lives but also of those who are in this effort, standing side by side. And understand that any, worthwhile, undertaken toward a positive affect starts with the individual; with time it radiates to another, then another and so on.

Effort is a vigorous or determined attempt; the result of an attempt; strenuous physical or mental exertion. It is all of these definitions, combined, to give meaning to how true children of the Most High go about their day, serving Him. As we put forth effort to walk circumspectly with Yashuah, we must use our determination (asking YHWH in Yashuah’s name, to help us), while attempting to remain steady, in our walk. This journey will test your physical and most of all mental and spiritual abilities. Because sometimes you become mentally tired of trying to rid your mind of all the evil thoughts, (that profoundly affects your whole life), that are bombarding you. You become spiritually weary while the world attempt to hold your mind and spirit hostage so that no good thoughts or things will come through, thus robbing you of the life YHWH has for you.  Some give up from exhaustion because they did not seek the LORD first (Matthew 6:33

33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you).

 Understand this, that Yashuah came so that we would have the best life. He did not come to condemn us or to allow others to but to convict our hearts to do the righteous thing and give all a chance at eternal life. So when we put forth effort (yes we are weak, but YAH is our strength) to honor and serve) Him and (others) while going through our storms, YHWH, through Yashuah and the Holy Spirit, will not let us fall, if we remain steady in Him, and the effect of our efforts are to be seen in the effects it has on our lives.

And, for those of us who have accepted Yashuah as our Lord and Saviour and have committed our self to His service, you know that it is not going to be beds of roses accepting and facing the challenges that comes with getting on the righteous path. And today, with all the evil being spewed out in the world, it is apparent as to who, it seems, is winning. But woe to the ones who has stirred up this hornets’ nest because sometimes the Father gives up a battle, to stir up His Spirit in us, but He will never lose the war. Satan is losing ground and he knows it. So with every effort, YAH has given us strength to muster, we must fight the Holy battles, every day, to remain steady, in the LORD, and grounded in our commitment to be part of the effect which we all long for. And we must be bold and courageous, enough, to tell the failing world that no sorrow, troubles, trials, or tribulations, will be able to knock us off the Rock that is our foundation for the work that’s still to be done, for the coming of our Lord.

So, do not be anxious, dismayed or down hearted because of what is going on in the world today against the will, word, and way of YHWH. But hold tight and see the glory of our Yashuah shine through. As a matter of fact, when Yashuah was teaching, He never promised that we would not have trials and tribulations in this world, with certainty He said we would. But He did promise peace in Him, when we get into, and stay in a relationship, with Him, and make a genuine effort to walk in righteousness. When we do this, He promise to walk us through our valleys, right by our sides and that His grace will be enough as we put forth effort to endure. And to get it deep down in our spirit, that through all the mess, even before it happens, He has already defeated anything the world can throw at us. And if we do not allow fear to overwhelm us and keep us from moving forward, but hold on to His unchanging hands, the effect on our lives will be amazing. (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).

“We cannot remain in sorrow, forsaking life’s joy, because the world said we should. But we are to be empowered by Yashuah and the Holy Spirit to be able to stand in the middle of sorrow, while enjoying life as Christ has given it: Love, joy, happiness and so much more.” EDR

James 1:2-4 Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.

Romans 8:17-18 Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory. I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.

James 1:12 Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him.

Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.

Psalm 112: 1, 7-8 Praise the Lord! Happy are those who fear the Lord. They are not afraid of evil tidings; their hearts are firm, secure in the Lord. Their hearts are steady, they will not be afraid.

2 Corinthians 12:9 My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.

ALL THINGS GOOD ARE FOUND IN THE SHADOW OF YAH’S LOVE

As we sit and contemplate the value and purpose of our life we search for answers and resolutions for the trials, troubles and tribulations that come our way. But most time we do not look to the One who has all the answers. In fear we chart our own course and when it does not work to our advantage, we try to escape it through complaining, blaming, or forgetting. It does not matter where we go: where we try and hide, pass through unnoticed, slip away softly or with boldness take flight, we can not escape the shadow of YAH’s love: know that all great and wonderful things are found in the shadow of YAH’s love. And the good thing about it is that it really does not matter whether you believe in Him or not, His love, still, without reservation, falls on all of us. Not saying that we deserve it but saying that the love of YHWH is always with us waiting to express itself: to hide us under its wings of protection at all time.  There, we think on the goodness of His love and accept or act in accordance with YAH’s word, will and way.

Living under the shadow of His love prove to us that it is the best fortress we can have. And when we take refuge there, it never fails us no matter how many time we get into trouble, go through trials or tribulations, do that which is contrary to His will, (as long as we repent and mean it), He will forgive.

 We are to stay under His shadow and trust Him for all that He has, is and will deliver us from or bring us through or bring us to. For, He is our strong tower, our refuge, the lifter of our heads and we are to dwell in the shadow of His love to find the peace and joy that only Christ , our Saviour, is able to give us.

His shadow is the habitation, under which we will experience His love forever and no evil will overtake us. It is there to acknowledge and confirm the goodness of our hearts and accept us, repeatedly, as His own, forgiving us for our sins.

In His shadow are the blessings of Abraham, all the promises of YHWH, that were given to him, which are now made accessible to us through the Blood of our Lord and Saviour, Yashuah. These include the promise of love, joy, protection, power, peace, patience, perseverance, and long life which are embedded in the fabric of the shadow of YAH’s love. And when we realize what an awesome privilege and wonder it is to have the Father’s love cast over us, always, we will know that no matter what is going on, good, bad, or indifferent, in this world today, (what is plaguing it, be it war, disease, pestilence, hatred, etc.), Yashuah has the answer for it.  It can be found in the most powerful shadow of YAH’s love.  

So, we must know His name, so that we will be at peace in these times of stressful uncertainty knowing that His love is never ending but present with us at all time. It is like a river flowing over us, continuously washing, and cleansing us. But, in order for us to experience all the goodness, He has for us, we must stand firm, (as the tree planted by the Waters of Life, Yashuah), in our commitment to Him and He will direct our path. Gods got it no worry no fear.

Psalms 91:1-16 KJV

He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked. Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation; There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet. Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name. He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him. With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.

Psalm 9:9-11 9 The LORD is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. 10 Those who know your name trust in you, for you, LORD, have never forsaken those who seek you. 11 Sing the praises of the LORD, enthroned in Zion; proclaim among the nations what he has done.

James 1:12 Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him.

NO FEAR, NO ANXIETY: NOTHING BUT FAITH AND TRUST

One of the most difficult things to do, while walking with Yashuah, is having faith that YHWH is working on all your situations and circumstances. Because it always seems that the more you try and go higher in your relationship with the LORD, the more everything around you are falling apart. And it takes little or no effort for your mind, while trying to be positive and encouraging, to constantly roll your problems over and over in it, instead of stayed on Yashuah.  When we focus on these distractions and tools that are skillfully placed in our life, by the enemy, to prevent us from moving toward our ultimate potential, they become a form of bondage: a regularly repeated rhythm, of thoughts that will not allow you to achieve the maximum productivity of our time or resources YHWH has given us. They are constantly swirling around in our minds, around a nucleus of fear, which generates stumbling blocks instead of learning experiences. And when our minds are repeatedly bombarded with negative and pessimistic charges and information, without relief in sight (so we think), it does become harder to see and believe that any other way is in our future. We focus on trying, under our own steam, to make it through, negating the fact that Yashuah has told us to never give up.

If we become bogged down in any negative frame of mind (thinking that YAH has given up on us or that He is not listening), our weakness has gotten the best of us and we have lost the battle. This focus creates the inability to have the faith, trust, and belief in the One who has it all under control and can bring us out of all things that come our way. But if we commit ourselves to the LORD, we can do all things through Yashuah Who strengthens us. (Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me).

So, as we are going through our day (or life) let us be not concern with the way of this world and what others have determined, regarding us but have faith and be confidence in YHWH, through the works of Yashuah, trusting in His timing and He will make it right. (Psalm 37:5-7 5 Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass. 6 And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday. 7 Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass). Because YHWH knows no defeat and as His children we should not either.

 So, let us understand that even though Satan roams around (mostly through the unexpected, weak minded, unfocused) the control that he has is given by YAH and us. But only if YHWH allows and we give him our permission, over the times we are going through, will he gain authority over us. Realize that time and all that it entails was created by YHWH: spoken into existence; it is governed by Him and made available to man by Him: no one has that control of it or what is done in it but YAH. We can be confident that whatever our troubles, trials and tribulations are, if we trust in Yashuah, they have been taken care of. Gods got it no worry no fear

Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?  Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life?”
