JOY

We need to refuse to be unhappy and take the responsibility for our own joy and happiness and not wait for others to try (I said try: only YHWH, through Yashuah, can give you true happiness, one that last) and give you something that they may or may not have. If you never take responsibility for your own joy and happiness, letting all those around you off the hook, you will never experience the gifts YAH, through Yashuah, has given you nor the quality and fullness of life that has been prepared for you.

 You see, the enemy wants to destroy us, using any means necessary so he uses our minds to steal our joy and happiness by putting all sorts of thoughts and imaginations in it to get us off track: he gets us to blame others for our mistakes and shortcomings (John 10:10 10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly). An example of this just so happen to be the thought that if such and such don’t do this for me or give this to me or say it this way etc., then it is going to make me unhappy ; I’ll lose my joy, my day will be ruin. No, that’s not the way it should be. We need to get beyond our feelings and our imagination and step into the real world, the spiritual world, the one where Christ is our source for everything and take on the responsibility of making sound decisions for our own lives. (Psalm 23:1 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want).

So, all of us need to take back the responsibility that we placed on others, to make us happy; put that responsibility on Yashuah, the One who gave His very life for that purpose and more. He shows us how to be happy in helping, sharing and caring for others less fortunate, sick or just alone: He tells us to rejoice in it and we will be strengthened in our own self. (Nehemiah 8:10 10 And Nehemiah continued, “Go and celebrate with a feast of rich foods and sweet drinks and share gifts of food with people who have nothing prepared. This is a sacred day before our Lord. Don’t be dejected and sad, for the joy of the Lord is your strength!”)

 So, lets recap “your joy” is no one else’s responsibility. It is yours. Refuse to be unhappy because our YHWH is pure joy. (Psalm 28: 7 The Lord is my strength and shield. I trust him with all my heart. He helps me, and my heart is filled with joy. I burst out in songs of thanksgiving.

Proverbs 14:10 10 Each heart knows its own bitterness, and no one else can share its joy.

Ecclesiastes 3:12 12 I know that there is nothing better for people than to be happy and to do good while they live. God’s got it no worry no fear.

Isaiah 26:3 You (YHWH) will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed (time spent, in any situation, with the LORD; remain in constant meditation on Yashuah and His truths) on You, Because he trusts (has a bold confident, sure security; your action toward life, based on the security you have in Yashuah) in You. So, think on the Lord, Yashuah, when you are in doubt or any other distress in your daily endeavors and He will give you the peace you need to address them and to see your revelations materialize.  God’s got it no worry no fear.

Don’t use your position, status or money to place demands others and blindly guide them contrary to the will of YHWH.  How can this be done, you ask? Well, today’s man is always seeking that next great thing or man or movement to follow; which will offer the best and biggest but once you are hooked, he sneakily pulls the support from under you and let you fall (in any area of your life). The resolve of our character should not be power or position or even money it should be love. The love Yashuah said to have for YHWH first, self and others. We need to realize that two of the three greatest events that will ever happen, has already happened. Yashuah came into this world as man, to be an example for man; to suffer as man and be tempted as man (He passed all the tests), then He took the same sins that He was tempted by to the cross with Him and now stands in the balance between us and our Father; taking our sins upon Him so the Father remembers them no more. The next great event, which all should be preparing for, is Yashuah’s return. And while we have great expectation, for Yashuah’s return, we must maintain a steady maturing in our spiritual life as well as our natural one: our lights will shine in both. He promised that He would go and prepare a place for all those who will serve, honor and obey Him. We must understand that YHWH is a good God. He is not an angry one or One who will use His position of power and perfection as a tool to punish us (that’s man’s way of doing it; when we are trying to “get someone back or prove that you are better than someone else, or to show them) He does not need to because He is all powerful and in control of everything.  Unlike the Pharisees work of deceit and empty meaning of promises, our worth, value and faithfulness should be revealed to show a true godly character, the one that all of us possess in Yashuah.  We should not be like the pharisees preaching and teaching the righteous way, yet not following it ourselves. There is a certain amount of responsibility all of us have been given, that is our lot to share with one another; your station in life, whether rich, poor or in between, does not determine your ability to love, be kind, gentle, truthful, respectful, etc. And for those who are called to a higher calling, one of leadership, in Christ, to emulate (mimic, copy) Him is expected. But instead of doing what is asked (by Yashuah) and expected of them, they, not all, do what pleases themselves, usually that which draws attention to their own person. They expect so much of others: putting demands on them that they themselves would not want to or could not bear to do themselves. So, be mindful that we are placed in position and places for YAH’ own reason, to help others and of the commitment we made to YHWH, through Yashuh. We are to think twice about what we expect of others; take on our own responsibilities, and accept any expectation placed on us by YAH. We should keep our eyes on the prize (Yashuah) and humble ourselves to the will of YHWH, in the name of Yashuah, so that we will be exalted in due time. (read your Word). God’s got it no worry no fear.

Matthew 23:1 – 12 1 Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples, 2 “The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses’ seat, 3 so do and observe whatever they tell you, but not the works they do. For they preach, but do not practice. 4 They tie up heavy burdens, hard to bear,[a] and lay them on people’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to move them with their finger. 5 They do all their deeds to be seen by others. For they make their phylacteries broad and their fringes long, 6 and they love the place of honor at feasts and the best seats in the synagogues 7 and greetings in the marketplaces and being called rabbi[b] by others. 8 But you are not to be called rabbi, for you have one teacher, and you are all brothers.[c] 9 And call no man your father on earth, for you have one Father, who is in heaven. 10 Neither be called instructors, for you have one instructor, the Christ. 11 The greatest among you shall be your servant. 12 Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted

Take a “brief” stroll through your past, gather all the pertinent information you will need to feel your present’s outcome, and then come forward to meet the first day of the rest of your life. Look at all the trials, troubles and tribulations you’ve withstood and gone through. Don’t forget to also look at the good and righteous blessings you’ve been privy to also: for both we praise the LORD. (Philippians 4:12 – I 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.) We praise Him, in Yashuah’s name for bringing us this far; praise Him for never leaving us, even though, at times, we should have been left. Praise Him for never forsaking us and again for what He is about to do. (In all things we give praise! Psalm 135:1-3 1 Praise the Lord. Praise the name of the Lord; praise him, you servants of the Lord, 2 you who minister in the house of the Lord, in the courts of the house of our God. 3 Praise the Lord, for the Lord is good; sing praise to his name, for that is pleasant.) Look positively, at the love and goodness Yashuah has shown you; protecting you as He waits patiently for you to come to Him. Don’t look to the left nor to the right but always focus on being made the righteousness, through the Son, Yashuah, with YHWH’s love, mercy and grace; keeping you steady as you experience the fullness of this life and the one to come.. And as you look up toward the One who created, care and will comfort you, you will, not only see the glory of His love, but bask in it also. So, stay in faith and whatever you are going through, look back at what He has brought you through; if YHWH, through Yashuah, has done it once for you, He will do it again because His word is true and He does not change. (Malachi 3:6 6 For I am the Lord, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed). Thank You LORD, praise You LORD; we give You all the honor and glory LORD. God’s got it no worry no fear.

Do you remember the old adage, as people were going away on a trip and after the good byes and enjoys, you would add “don’t forget to write.” I think this was a precautionary way of saying don’t forget me. Well, writing a good solid, wholesome letter or post card is almost gone. Instead texting, emailing or face-timing is the way to go now. The ones who don’t forget us are the bill collectors (who’s now requesting that all bills are paid via auto bill pay) or those who want to see how much junk mail can be stuffed in your box.

Those were the days that you knew who truly loved and was concerned for you because they took the time to write: a letter, a note or pen a line.

Unlike us, who find ourselves too busy to even text, can’t find time to email or even forget to call, YHWH is never too busy to respond to us: before all this micro communication He wrote us a letter: one that speak of and show His love for us. This is a divine, practical guide for us to use in our daily living: to read every day and study often. You can call it (actually that’s what it is) the first self-help book, ever written, that has any validity to it and actually have addressed and will help with the issues of our lives before we experience them. It is a letter of love, engulfing us in a sea of possibilities and compassionate promises, instructions, reprimands and guidance. It is a letter of comfort, one to give you courage and strength in the middle of any adversity. It is the letter to peace, joy and pure (not pretend) happiness. It is a letter that supplies all of your needs no matter what they are. It is a letter that gives you power and authority to defeat your enemy. Yes, YAH left a letter that addresses any and all concerns you may have, problems you may face or trials and troubles you may go through.

When you start reading the WORD (Letter), with open eyes, ears and hearts, you will realize that it is a letter from YHWH, written with His inspiration, by man and His revelation delivered by Yashuah .

This letter tells us why we were created and how much we are loved. It tells us that we (the only created) are created in His image. He knows every thing about us, down to the smallest detail: yet He still loves us. He is constantly, when we seek and ask Him, restoring our faith and renewing our mind to reflect Him and His goodness, which is in us.

So read YHWH;s letter of love, that He carefully and meticulously, had written to and for us. It is meant to be opened by all so that each one of us, will glean that which Yashuah came to give us through His death: the intended experience in this life and the one to come. READ YOUR LETTER (THE BIBLE). God’s got it no worry no fear.

SEE, SAY, DO, RECEIVE

See the love, in life, as the LORD, through Yashuah, love us and has given us to give away. First, we must learn the principle of loving: the LORD first, love our self and then we will be able to love others earnestly. When we get to know Yashuah we will see the love in self and others. (“He who does not love does not know God, for God is love.” 1 John 4:8).  Say that which will encourage, build up, cause eyes, ears and hearts to be opened and cause an all-around spiritual prosperity in your fellow man’s life: as well as natural. (1 Thessalonians 5:11 Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing. Hebrews 10:23-25 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful. And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near. Ephesians 4:29 Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear. 1 Peter 4:8-10 Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins. Show hospitality to one another without grumbling. As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace) Do the righteous thing, whether anyone else is doing it or not. Don’t play follow the leader with people who are going in a direction contrary to YHWH. You are not here to please people but YHWH. (Exodus 23:2 (CJB) Do not follow the crowd when it does what is wrong; and don’t allow the popular view to sway you into offering testimony for any cause if the effect will be to pervert justice.) When you set your sight on the higher things above, keeping the commandments and laws of YHWH,the reward will be an awesome display of YAH’s love and faithfulness to us today as it was with Moses. (Deuteronomy 7:9-15 NIV) Know therefore that the LORD your God is God; he is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commands. {10} But those who hate him he will repay to their face by destruction; he will not be slow to repay to their face those who hate him. {11} Therefore, take care to follow the commands, decrees and laws I give you today. {12} If you pay attention to these laws and are careful to follow them, then the LORD your God will keep his covenant of love with you, as he swore to your forefathers. {13} He will love you and bless you and increase your numbers. He will bless the fruit of your womb, the crops of your land–your grain, new wine and oil–the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks in the land that he swore to your forefathers to give you. {14} You will be blessed more than any other people; none of your men or women will be childless, nor any of your livestock without young. {15} The LORD will keep you free from every disease. He will not inflict on you the horrible diseases you knew in Egypt, but he will inflict them on all who hate you.) Today go out with an attitude of gratitude and determination: say, whatever it takes, with YAH’s help, I will be loving, kind, compassionate and concerned for others. GOD’S GOT IT NO WORRY NO FEAR.

Yesterday I listen briefly to the impeachment trial. And after hearing the votes not to impeach, a strong feeling of anger began to rise in me. Then I heard the small still voice, of the LORD, saying don’t do that, don’t be angry over something I allow, and you have no control. You know we can get upset, curse the day a certain person was born, and any other hateful and hurtful thing toward them to show how much we disapprove of their actions or what they stand for (goodness or evil). But we cannot alter the course of the will of YHWH nor of anyone’s destiny, not even our own. If you read your WORD, it lays out a clear and unmistakable pattern of events that, as were foretold, will happen in these end times.  But since we are so busy being gods our self we can’t or just don’t believe YAH’s Word to be truth and heaven help us if we dare to trust Him to be in control: He really is.  We find it hard to even study (the devotion of time and attention to acquiring knowledge on an academic subject, especially by means of books; in this case the Bible) or even read our WORD. Then we wonder why we are in the dark about what is happening in this world today and why we don’t understand why YHWH is allowing it: He is prepping us for our Savior’s return. In the Word we are given the purpose, process and reason for all that is going on. It is a direct correlation with Stan’s objective (as it was when he took a third of the angels from heaven when he fell from grace) to turn those away from, Yashuah, who refuse to hear. And he is doing a pretty good job at it, at present, because of man’s wilderness mentality (I don’t need YHWH, I can do whatever I want to do, when I want to do it; who does that sound like?) but this will all change when Yashuah arise on the scene; He steps back into the picture with all power in His hands. YAH is allowing the goats and sheep to be separated (which are you?) Like our leaders, the people who are blindly following them don’t have a clue much less understand. I want to say to those who truly believe and have faith in YHWH, through our Saviour Yashuah, that this may seem like a tragic travesty, that has been led by one who was to lead, in representation of the whole. But we must trust in YHWH’s justice system, not man. YAH sees all, knows all and will correct all, eventually. Those who have succumbed to the evil of this world are being used as pawns to bring about the glorious change that is coming soon. So, don’t be afraid, don’t fret nor fear what man can do to you and most of all don’t hate. Because God’s got it no worry no fear. Below are a few scriptures of what is happening in our world today and what is coming, according to revelation.

Matthew 24:24″For false Christs and false prophets will arise and will show great signs and wonders, so as to mislead, if possible, even the elect.

Matthew 24:10 “At that time many will fall away and will betray one another and hate one another.

Matthew 24:7 “For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and in various places there will be famines and earthquakes. Matthew 25:31-46 The Sheep and the Goats 31 “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his glorious throne. 32 All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33 He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.

If we would only trust and believe that YHWH holds the future, worry would not be our constant friend.

What is worry? I am going to define worry so that we will see what it is and what it is not according to the WORD. Worry is one of the devil’s device used to cause you to give way to anxiety or uneasiness; it allow one’s mind to dwell (think continuously) on difficulty or troubles: a state of anxiety and uncertainty over actual (things that are happening) or potential (things that you think will happen) problems. If left up to you, to try and rid yourself of it, it will choke or strangle the life out of you, spiritually and physically. Yashuah said not to worry, why? (Philippians 4:6-7 do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Because as you’re worrying about trying to stop worrying, the author of all evil is constantly bombarding you with negative and destructive thoughts. Your battle is on and if you do not put the power of Yashuah, before you, through prayer and supplication, you will become weak in your thoughts or efforts (we don’t feel like doing anything; we become sluggards), in the physical and in the spiritual; it hinders your prayer life and your service to the LORD. We worry too much about what others have accomplished, what they have, what they think of you, what they can try and do to you; our limitations (which, by the way, we put on our self out of fear), who has the power: man and his motives. But, at any time, while these disengaging from the truth thoughts are going through our minds, do we think on YHWH and His love for us and His goodness toward us. You see the mark of a man can be considered good or bad: depending on which way the pendulum of time and intention swings. When we give the worrying or concern over to the LORD it really doesn’t matter what mark you find yourself under because our Father will take care of it. (Mark 13:11 11 But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost.) So we cannot worry about what man is doing or thinking. It is left up to us as individuals to live the righteous life according to how Yashuah told us to live. It was good when YAH first created man and gave him dominion over all His other creation. And it will be again, very soon. But even then, man was not and still is not satisfied. He (man) could not just be submissive to the will and way of the LORD, which did not mean weakness but power: man wants to reach a god status and subject all others under him. But YAH knew that man’s nature would get the best of him; he sinned and then worried about his nakedness (go figure, YHWH created man and then man had the nerve to be worried about YAH seeing his nakedness). That’s how vain man is, but it turns out that YHWH sees it all because He controls it all, having power over it all. He put in place His Son, our Saviour, to take the worry out of any situation we find our self in all the way to eternity. So, let us not be weary of man and what he thinks he can do to us (with his limited power) but be thankful of what YAH will do for us. It has been foretold of all that is happening in the world today, making way for the demise of the word as we know it and the coming of a New Heaven and a New Jerusalem. And some of you, who don’t believe in Yashuah and His Word, will not understand. But there must be a Judas to betray YAH’s people and the world in which we live so that Yashuah can return and make everything perfect, as it was in the beginning, once and for all. Now many of you are worried about what is happening in these days and what is going to happen in the days to come. Well, Yashuah is coming back and He is coming back very soon. Get down on your knees and confess with your mouth before you are made to do so. (Romans 14:11 11 For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God. Philippians 2:10-11 10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.) Give the worrying to Yashuah and don’t spend your time worrying about what selfish, self-centered, bullying, narcissistic, foolish men (who don’t know what is happening and how they are being used to usher in our Saviour) can do to you. Because before long all of this will be over and our YAH WILL DWELL AMONG US. (And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.) God’s got it no worry no fear.
