The Body of Messiah

I am hoping to share something here today that has been on my mind and in my prayer life for a rather long period of time, and now seems to be formulating into a more solid idea.

Firstly however I wish to make it abundantly clear that this blog, as outlined in the main presentation, is what I believe is happening and how I believe the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) is moving.  I do not claim a main line exclusive link to ABBA, however when I have ideas impressed on my spirit, and these specific ideas remain and seem to be reinforced, by whatever means I feel are being presented to me, means that are never sought or pushed but come naturally – so to speak – I start to take them much more seriously.  These are the sort of opinions and subject matters I wish, ABBA willing, to share on this blog page.  Please never just accept what I have said, check it out against the Word diligently with prayer.  We are all learning to walk this path of Kingdom Rule – Elohim forbid that we may think we have it all together!

Finally, before sharing my thoughts for this particular entry, I would dearly welcome comments and, where thought necessary, criticism, hopefully though the criticism – and there will be I am very sure – will be in a loving and constructive manner.

Now to the essence of what I hope to present today:

I believe that there is a move afoot to bring the Body of Messiah Yeshua together.  His Body is so fragmented and self-centered right now as to be almost ineffective for Him or His Rule on Earth. If we look at the Word we see that the Body has never come together in times of prosperity and peace, the Body has needed persecution to force it to cry out to YHWH and ask for His deliverance (Israelites in Egypt; in Babylon; in Jerusalem under the Romans – Acts 2; and of course the long preached about and expected Great Tribulation).

What I am seeing right now is that there is approaching, and I believe very shortly, a massive break down of World systems accompanied by wars, famines, political upheavals etc (no crystal ball needed for this) BUT for the Believers to survive in this chaos and destruction the Rule of YHWH will have to be experienced and seen to be operating by both His Body and those still needing to come into the Kingdom – but this Rule of YHWH will have to be exercised through His Body, however His Body must be walking according to His Will and Kingdom Principles, not denominational doctrines or our own ideas of what is right or wrong as we are doing now, before it is to be accorded this responsibility and privilege of carrying His Glory, a Glory which He will share with no other person, thing or doctrine.  The only way we shall arrive at a point of being able to walk in His Will and Principles shall be once we have had every crutch & support which is not of Him removed – then, and unfortunately only then, shall we truly have no option at all but to seek Him in Spirit and Truth – then Scriptures such as Proverbs 3:5-6; 27: 7; 30:7-9; Matthew 6:19-34 and II Corth 12:19 will become a rallying cry of His Body.  Then, and only then shall we pray unto Him and seek Him with our whole heart and then as a Body shall we be able to Love Him with all our hearts, with all our souls and with all our might.  Then and only then shall we do the works that Messiah Yeshua did and greater:  Then and only then shall the Sons’ of Elohim be revealed! 

1Pe 4:1 Therefore, Messiah having suffered for us in the flesh, also you arm yourselves with the same thought, because he having suffered in the flesh has been made to rest from sin, 2 for him no longer to live in the lusts of men, but to live the remaining time in the flesh in the will of Elohim. 3 For the time of life having passed is sufficient for us to have worked out the will of the pagans, having gone on in wantonness, lusts, drunkenness, parties, indecent singing, and lawless idolatries;  4 in which they are surprised that you do not indulge with them into past excesses and they blaspheme against you;  5 who will give account to Elohim, who is to judge the living and dead.  6 For to this end also the good news was preached to the dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but might live according to YAHWEH in the Spirit. 7 But the end of all things has drawn near. Be of sound mind then, and be mindful of prayers;  8 and above all things having fervent love to yourselves, "Because love will cover a multitude of sins." (Prov. 10:12) 9 Be hospitable to strangers without murmurings,  10 so let each one of you according to the gift he received from Elohim, minister the same to your fellowman as good stewards of the manifold grace of YAHWEH. 11 If any man preach, let him preach the word of YAHWEH; if anyone ministers, let him do so according to the ability that YAHWEH has given him that in all things that you may do, YAHWEH may be glorified through Yeshua Messiah; to whom belongs glory and honor forever and ever. Amen. 12 Beloved, do not be astonished at the fiery trial happening among you for your testing, as if a surprise were occurring to you;  13 but rejoice, that you participate in the sufferings of the Messiah, that so you may also rejoice and exult at the revelation of his glory.  14 If you are reviled in the name of Messiah, you are blessed, because "The glorious Spirit of YAHWEH rests upon you." 15 For do not let any of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or an evildoer, or as a meddler in the affairs of others. 16 But if one suffers as a Christian, do not let him be ashamed, but to glorify YAHWEH in this respect. 17 Because the time has come that judgment must begin with the house of YAHWEH; and if it first begins with us, what will be the end of the ones disobeying the good news of Elohim?  18 And "if the righteous is scarcely saved, where will the wicked and sinner appear?" (Prov. 11:31) 19 Wherefore, let them who suffer according to the will of YAHWEH, commit their souls to him in well doing, as to a faithful Creator.

 I close this blog off with the fervent hope that each and every one of us shall prayerfully consider Psalm 51 – we shall only survive and spend eternity with our Messiah Yeshua if we take up our stake and follow HIM:

Psa 51:1 [To the chief musician, A Psalm of David when Nathan the prophet came to him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba.] Let your grace be to me, O Elohim, according to Your loving-kindness, according to the multitude of Your tender mercies; blot out my transgressions.

Psa 51:2 Wash me completely from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.

Psa 51:3 For I know my transgressions; and my sin is ever before me.

Psa 51:4 Against You, You only, I have sinned, and done evil in Your eyes; that You might be justified in Your speaking and be clear when You judge.

Psa 51:5 Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin my mother conceived me.

Psa 51:6 Behold, You desire truth in the inward parts; and in the hidden parts You teach me wisdom.

Psa 51:7 Purify me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

Psa 51:8 Cause me to hear joy and gladness; the bones You have crushed will rejoice.

Psa 51:9 Hide Your face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities.

Psa 51:10 Create in me a clean heart, O Elohim; and renew a steadfast spirit within me.

Psa 51:11 Do not cast me out from Your presence, and do not take Your Holy Spirit from me.

Psa 51:12 Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, and uphold me with a willing spirit.

Psa 51:13 Then I will teach transgressors Your ways; and sinners will turn back to You.

Psa 51:14 Deliver me from the guilt of shedding blood, O Elohim, O Elohim of my salvation; my tongue shall sing aloud of Your righteousness.

Psa 51:15 O YAHWEH, open my lips and my mouth shall declare Your praise.

Psa 51:16 For you do not desire sacrifice, or I would give it; You do not delight in burnt offering.

Psa 51:17 The sacrifices of Elohim are a broken spirit; a broken and a contrite heart, O Elohim, You will not despise.

Psa 51:18 Do good in Your good pleasure to Zion; build the walls of Jerusalem.

Psa 51:19 Then You shall be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt offering and whole offering; then they shall offer bulls on Your altar.

Amen and Amen.
