We, as the Sons and daughters of the Most High, in every form of subjection and submitting (submitting, Humbling), know and ready ourselves to fight the good fight of faith when it comes to our marriages, as with our relationship with YHWH. The husband, who is to subject himself to Yashuah,  is to be versed enough in YHWH, through Yashuah, walking circumspectly in His WORD, that when he encounters the adversary, in any form he takes (through spouse, finances, job, children, the world, etc.), he will be ready and strengthened enough to handle and go through it the godly way.  And be in the position that YHWH has placed him to teach the truth to his family and those YAH has set in his path to teach. And as wives, we truly want to, submit to our own husband, as it is written in the WORD; following the lead of a husband who follows the lead of Yashuah. And sisters, if your spouse choose not to follow Yahsuah’s lead, you follow it. Through prayer, faith, believing, praising and leaning, on the LORD, you will find that things, thought impossible, will become probable. To just be a child of the Most High is a challenge (you only must deal with keeping yourself together) but being in the most holy of unions, YAH, put in place is very challenging and downright hard. And, not only does it take a mature person to stay in the war but a spiritually mature person; to understand and go through the sacrifices one must make, for a marriage or relationship to work (especially these days). First of all, as stated before, YHWH through Yashuah must be first in our marriage and everything else we do. No questions. When He becomes first in the lives of those entering into a union of marriage (it has to be at least one who enter with a true effort to serve), storms may come and the sea of life may rise but He will always be there to see or carry us through. Because as long as we are on earth, in this fleshly body, and we are trying to do good and the right thing in our marriage, there will always be, some unpleasantness, brought on by the devil, that is thrown in the midst, to tear what YHWH has brought together, apart. The devil wants to make it seem impossible and unnecessary to fight for our relationships (not only in a marriage but also with our Father, YHWH) and for whoever is involved he tries to weaken them with lies and distortion, meanness, and anger, harsh words and filthy speaking toward one another. But with YAH’s strength, through Yashuah we can continue to stand in the midst of the mess. Understand that when we keep our sight on the LORD and chose to hear His voice, over all others,  we will know that the things we go through in our marriage or any other relationship, is bringing us higher in our relationship with YHWH, through sharpening our resolve not to quit but stand firm in whatever comes our way. Wives, mothers, daughters, there are things, that YAH allows, in our marriages and relationships, to get our attention. And when we are required to do a work He has ordained us to do, yet continue to overlook His prompting, through the Holy Spirit, because it is something we don’t want to do or feel that we should not do it, I think that since the man is supposed to be the head, he should also, at some point, be the supporter and or cheerleader for his wife. . But I tell you that a good man wants to see Yashuah being accepted by any righteous means necessary and if she is deemed worthy of her calling, by YHWH (to be wife, mother, teacher, minister, and in any other professions), she will reap her reward, not from man but from YHWH. Why, because she does what the LORD says to do and He blesses her; becoming the virtuous women: having a command over all gifts and talents that YAH, through Yashuah has provided her and with them becomes an exemplary (serving as a desirable model; representing the best of its kind) extension of her husband’s body. God’s got it no worry no fear.

Becoming a new creature (man) in Christ does not mean that (although some  become a little more mindful of what they do, say or I suppose, think) we automatically shed (put off, get rid of) the old way  of speaking, the way we do things or think; it’s going to take time, (individually allowed for each one of us).  This is our Glory Road and as we walk it, we discard, the unimportant and we maintain and develop (with Yashuah standing in the balance between YHWH and us, speaking for us and the Holy Spirit guiding), that which is important to our new walk; thus, we come up higher in the LORD glory to glory (His not ours). (2 Corinthians 5:17 17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new).

As we reach milestones, in our spiritual life (which affects our natural one), all the promises Yashuah said we would have, according to YAH’s Word, will become Truths (the many gifts and blessings; the endowment with abilities and powers to study and understand His Word, perform His Will, walk in His Way and achieve total wholeness to be able to be with Him throughout eternity) because of that which we were given and now possess when we accept Christ. And we must remember as Yashuah paid the ultimate price (death) for us to obtain eternal life, so must we pay a price (through serving) to reach eternal life. So, since our acceptance, all that are made known to us is for our benefit. It is right in front of us for the taking; being revealed (glory to glory) to us, so that  we can gather those things necessary for a changed life, we are also being prepared for the next step to the next level of glory. YAH is so wonderful. (2 Corinthians 3:18 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). 2Peter 1:3 According as his divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that has called us to glory and virtue:)

It is very important for you to know that when Yashuah gave His life for us it was so that when we (as sinners) sin, then honestly repent, asking YHWH, in Yashuah’s name to forgive us, that He will do it! He does not go about searching His ways and means book to find a category which include that type of sin, but He just do so because it has already been done, once and only once through His Son’s blood. Like many of us when caught in a compromising situation, or conversation, you may say, well, God knows my heart. Yes, He does, but He wants you to acknowledge the fact that He is God and that through Him all things are done and are possible. And when we repent in honesty, He forgives, automatically and then He remembers it no more as far as the east is from the west. That’s how great our YHWH is. (Psalm 103:9-12 9 He will not always accuse, nor will he harbor his anger forever; 10 he does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities. 11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth,    so great is his love for those who fear him; 12 as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us).

You see, you never stop growing, unless you refuse to grow. Please don’t ever blame YHWH for your disappointing life. Because YAH does not allow situations and circumstances in your life that will cause you to sit down and give up but to sharpen your resolve (a firm determination to do something, which is to serve the LORD God with all your heart body and soul) and make you press on a little bit harder and further (He’ll do the rest). (3 John 2 2 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth).

Let’s look at the importance of attitudes and characteristics and which fruit should remain after we have given our life to Christ. Attitude is defined as a settled way of thinking or feeling about someone or something, typically one that is reflected in a person’s behavior. It is very important that we cultivate a good attitude. It is a very important because it is the part of our relationship which helps us to grow, steadily, in our relationship with Christ and others. If you have a bad attitude you will be most likely, rendered, unapproachable which will hinder your variety of service-oriented tools in the service of YAH. Characteristic is defined as a feature or quality belonging typically to a person, place, or thing and serving to identify it.  Let’s look at it this way, any residual fruits of the spirit (the good fruit) that we had while teetering on the fence of life (should I give my life to Christ or should I say entangled in the worlds mess), are always the way to go. Cling tightly to these and be wide open to THE WORD because they will be very helpful in your walk. As for the not so desirable that are trying to hang on, in most of our life, things we need to rid ourselves of, we need to ask the LORD for help to get rid of it. Through the strength given, by the Holy Spirit, we can do this.  And then we replace it with something that is of YHWH. Because if you don’t you will find yourself in worst state than before; you are on your way to a loving, peaceful and spirit filled life and that old devil can’t stand it so he will see to it that you have more demons moving in than you had before. (Galatians 5:22-26 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. 24 And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. 25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. 26 Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.

FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT

(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. 9 Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you).

WORKS (FRUIT) OF THE FLESH

Galatians 5:19-26 19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. 24 And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. 25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. 26 Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another. God’s got it no worry no fear.

THE WORDS YOU SPEAK – PART III

(Colossians 4:6 6 Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man).

This will always be the truth of the matter. And THE WORD doesn’t care whether you agree, disagree or even believe it or not : THE WORDS YOU SPEAK HAS GREAT BEARING (the manner in which one conducts or carries oneself, including posture and gestures) ON HOW YOUR LIFE IN LIVED. The words you have spoken or thought, will create a positive action and outcome or one contrary to the will of YAH; either will eventually return to you. If you put out good and wholesome ones, they come back reflecting that. But if you put out negative, spiteful and revengeful ones, they usually come back with a vengeance; much more than you can produce.

 It really, doesn’t matter who (you are someone speaking against you) put it out there but what has been given life, through speaking it. Is it life or death (now death doesn’t have to be a physical death (even though sometimes it is) it can be a spiritual or mental one. One that attacks the attitude and character of a person, causing them to view themselves in a negative light; all because of words spoken to and over them.  It can be a spiritual one which kills the will to do great things (the gifts given by YHWH, for you to use enhance your earthly life, and lives of others, living it in abundance.

Most people go through life with a defeatist attitude because someone has or is constantly telling  you that you are going to fail, you’ll never make it, speaking words of destruction, (especially to those who believe they need someone to validate whatever they do at all times) . Then you have the “other one” the Peculiar” people who belongs to YHWH, by way of Yashuah, who know what speaking words of truth, love and encouragement will do because they prayed, studied their word, is always searching how to be open, more to YAH’s will, so that they can walk in the way of Yashuah.  It is how you respond to words spoken to and over you when they come back to you.  Do you automatically take on a defensive posture, ready for a fight? Or do you stand and wait for YAH’ through Yashuah to strengthen you for your reaction or method of defense. Before we set up our battle strategies and send our feelings to the front line, we need to be aware of what we are dealing with and what is the righteous way to approach it.  Search the source of the confusion so that you will know how and who to confront and with what or who. It could have been you, who spoke in a manner that caused dissension, who could be the cause of the problem. Or it could be someone else who said something that started the whole thing. If you caused it, be prepared to take on the responsibility of accepting and dealing with the consequences: there will be consequences.  If you are the one, caught up in such without your knowledge, but used as a pawn, or you are innocent, then be prayerful, be faithful, take it to the LORD and ask Him to direct you in the order you should go to remedy the situation. Don’t be a hot head and make it worst.  God’s got it no worry no fear.

THE WORDS YOU SPEAK-PART 11

As we mention yesterday, the words you speak has a powerful influence over the actions you take and the outcome you get. The words you speak are the beginning of the “next”; the next event, step, process, etc. of your life (next thing that happens whether in the beginning of a moment,  beginning of a new day (good and bright or  dreary and bad), week, month or year; next laughter or heart ache. Yes, the next chapter of your life.

It can and often does begin with a thought and then after the thought process has been exhausted it materialize into the words we speak. You see, whatever you speak, out loud or even think about in your mind, be it good or bad, sets the tone for the next that’s coming. But we need to be mindful of this, that eventually, all that you have put out in the world (creating your next) will come back to you: blessings or judgments: Let’s look at it as an echo. The sound of your voice comes back to you exactly the way you put it out there because it is you doing the calling. Well so does your words. (Galatians 6:7-9 7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. 8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. 9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not). You have the ability to do something about how you use your words and what words to use; through the help of the Holy spirit, who will help to put a watch over your mouth so you won’t speak that which you should not. (Psalm 141:3 Set a guard over my mouth, Lord; keep watch over the door of my lips.)

Words can make or break another individual, especially if they are not strong in their faith. So, we must be careful how and what we say to one another so that the words we speak will not be heard as harsh, reprimanding, condescending or judgmental. And that when we put them out there (speaking aloud) they take a wholesome beneficial form and meaning and therefore produce a positive and productive action. (Ephesians 4:29 Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen).

(1 Peter 3:10 For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile:)

(Colossians 4:6 Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.) Gods got it no worry no fear.

THE WORDS YOU SPEAK – PART 1

Lord open my eyes that I may see, my ears that I may hear, my mind that I may process and my heart that I may receive so that I may use my mouth to speak that which  you would have me to say; therefore do. The scriptures below gives us an idea of how we are to speak; not only to others but also to our self.

Proverbs 15:1 (AMP)15 A soft and gentle and thoughtful answer turns away wrath, But harsh and painful and careless words stir up anger.

Proverbs 15:4 (AMP) A soothing tongue [speaking words that build up and encourage] is a tree of life, But a perversive tongue [speaking words that overwhelm and depress] crushes the spirit.

Proverbs 18:4 (AMP) The words of a man’s mouth are like deep waters [copious and difficult to fathom]; The fountain of [mature, godly] wisdom is like a bubbling stream [sparkling, fresh, pure, and life-giving].

Proverbs 18:20 – 21 Proverbs 18:20-21 (KJV)20 A man’s belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth (whatever you speak (sow with your mouth that is what you will accomplish; it will come back to you); and with the increase of his lips shall he be filled (the more you speak on a thing that is the amount which you will receive). 21 Death and life (having an abundantly good life or having  a continuous sad, down trodden, overwhelming with troubles, life) are in the power (the capacity or ability to direct or influence the behavior of others or the course of events) of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof ( shall be gratified by the results it provide).

Proverbs 20:15 (KJV) 15There is gold and a multitude of rubies (all sorts of gemstones that are thought to be priceless), but the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel (but if the tongue is tamed to speak on the Word it is the most precious of our member).

When we monitor our words, with Yashuah’s help, we will always have and give the righteous answer. So be careful what you say. And when you find yourself heading toward a heated moment, be the bigger person (very hard I know but do it any way, your reward will be greater and much nicer, than standing and going toe to toe with an infidel (nonbeliever): walk away. Consider this: James 3:5 (NIV) 5 Likewise, the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark. (The tongue is a small part of the body, as a spark is compared to a flame. But both can do great damage if fanned and stirred up). Gods got it no worry no fear.

God’s morning of love, joy and caring to all. The joy of the Lord is our strength. Along our good and wonderful journey in life, we are going to go through rough patches and our roads may get long and hard at times. But if we continue in God’s Word and keep our eyes on the prize He has set for us, joy will come in the morning. God’s favor on us “is” life. Never let go of God’s unchanging hands through Jesus. Nehemiah 8:10 and Psalm 30: 5. God’s got it no worry no fear.

It is not money that is the root of all evil but the love of it. Because when you use it according to the Word, it becomes a good thing: YAH blesses those who gives. (Luke 6:38 38 Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again). But you don’t give for the blessings you give because it is righteous.( Acts 20:35 35 In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’ ”better to give than receive). When man place all his hopes and dreams on how much money he has or how much he can accumulate with money, it becomes apparent as to who he serves: who his god is. By yearning to possess (have or obtain) and hold onto money many have made the mistake of forgetting where their faith (complete trust or confidence in someone, YAH, or something, His power, grace and mercy) should be placed.  And have turned away from God and turned toward money, as their savior. If you are not willing to accept money for what it is, a means of obtaining earthly things that are necessary to live and to be generous to those in need, then you have definitely missed the point of having it. It will not get you into heaven (can’t buy your way into it). But putting too much stock in it will cause you to be pierced (be subject to hurt and harm) with many sorrows (things that would not have necessarily happened had you put your faith in YAH and not put money before God.

We as men and women of the Most High God should run from the lusts and love of money of this world. I am not saying that we don’t need money, because we do. Or that YHWH don’t want us to have it, because He does. Through Yashuah’s birth, death and resurrection, we have been given righteous abilities and talents to make and enjoy money. He has also placed goals and dreams in us to be worked out using our abilities and talents. But first we must follow after righteousness, godliness, faithfulness, love, meekness and patience, so that we will know how to handle money and all other blessings that He bestow up on us. 

We are to fight the good fight of faith, deliberately seek and hold on to eternal life, as we are called through Jesus, to do. And having professed (self-acknowledged or openly declared to be) that we are a part of a good profession (a declaration of belief in the service we do in the Word) before, not only many of our brothers and sisters, but also the world,  in Yashuah.  In other words do not be ashamed of the Gospel of Yashuah but shout His goodness to the roof tops so the world can know how good He is. I Timothy 6:9-12. GOD’S GOT IT NO WORRY NO FEAR.
