The Two Voices.

I believe I am to address an issue which I have touched on before here, here and here.  

This matter, in my opinion, is of paramount importance thus I have been led to write on the subject on the previous occasions and a few of the links have been hi-lighted above. 

Brethren and sisters, we were all created so that YHWH could have an eternal relationship with us, and that HE, through us (His wife) could rule this earth.  There was the fall into sin and eternal separation from YHWH...and this is what I wish to use as my central point for todays missive.

Two V/voices spoke in the Garden - One, the Almighty, El Shaddai and the other, the enemy - hasatan.

The Voice of YHWH was replaced, one could say usurped, by the voice of the knowledge of good and evil - the voice of human logic, voice of human reason, the voice of human wisdom - the voice of religion - "You shall surely not die!"

Man inspired religion has drowned out The Voice of The Ruach of our Abba and Master Yeshua since the Garden and up to this very moment in time.

I shall need to break one of my foundational rules today in an attempt to make my point:  I shall state unequivacally  "Thus says YHWH!" I now stand on record of being declared a false prophet if YHWH DID NOT SAY WHAT I ATTRIBUTE TO HIM HAVING SAID and should that be the case, then I am deserving of death.

This life changing moment occurred in Dar e salaam towards the end of January 2000 and was even witnessed by a fellow believer sitting next to me in an old Land Rover.  The Ruach of YESHUA stated to me whilst I was wide awake and conscious:

"I AM COMING BACK, BUT FIRST MY CHURCH MUST RETURN TO THE ACTS CHURCH AS I LEFT IT.  THESE DENOMINATIONS ARE NOT ME, THEY ARE OF MAN!"

These Divine Words have sung in my spirit for more than 15 years now.  At that time of YHWH speaking to me I was a very active member of the Apostolic Faith Mission, a Sunday worshiping, Christmas rooting, tongue speaking, "happy-clappy" sort of guy.  Initially I had absolutely no idea what was meant by the Divine importation I had received so consequently remained in the Denominational system for a short while after that.

But needless to say, The ever Present "Invisible Force" began what can best be described as a Titanic shift of my entire paradigm of thought, religion and all of my life in general.

If there is one verse which I can give which best describes that period of my life, and indeed my life to this very day it is found in John 8:32:

"And ye shall know the Truth and the Truth shall make you free."

I was led into many avenues which directly challenged the structured Church, their doctrines and their "sacraments".  Please bear in mind that I am not, and Abba willing, do not believe I shall ever be a "qualified, graduated, doctrinally certified theologian", so this upstart telling these "wise" men what he thought and unsettling the Bible studies and cell groups was not appreciated at all. 

Please let me make it quite clear here that it is not that I did not have the opportunities to study in the theological field: I was indeed offered a scholarship to attend a Baptist seminary in the USA; on another occasion I was asked if I wanted to go to a Seminary in Cape Town, all payments made for me, this seminary, which specialised in Missions was interdenominational; and even as a "Messianic Believer" I was offered a sponsorship to go to a Yeshiva either in the USA or Israel.  BUT Abba YHWH closed all these doors as HE had promised that HE would teach me. 

During this entire initial period of absolute spiritual and religious upheaval I was being given Scriptures by the Ruach which were confirmed in so many inconceivable ways, Scriptures which I did not even know were in the Word at that time; Scriptures which we setting me free to walk away from denominations and their hold on me; I was being given Visions.

On one occasion I was even placed in amongst all the denominational and congregational leaders at an inter-denominational gathering where a Political Deputy Minister, a Member of our National Assembly, was a key speaker, and I, well I was now regarded as the rabid  one, and having crept with my wife and two other believers right in the back of the auditorium was instructed by YHWH to give them a Word of warning about marriages and the "Denominational/Political substitute" for the Biblically mandated marriage - WOW this caused quite a reaction I promise you: During this whole process, to add to my utter confusion and disorientation, my entire personal, private and public life was being tossed around like the proverbial row boat in the storm open for all to see.  I literally hung onto the Words, Visions and Dreams given to me for dear life.  I can today say that I know what it is like to "cling to the Hem (Tzit tzit) of my Master YESHUA, and just as importantly NOBODY CAN EVER TAKE THE ABSOLUTE REALITY OF THESE MOMENTS, EXPERIENCES AND REVELATIONS AWAY FROM ME - THEY HAPPENED AND YESHUA CARRIED ME!

There is obviously much, much more that I could share, because you see YHWH has a seed principle - HE plants the seed and then nurtures, guards, prunes and waters the seed into a sapling, a young tree, a larger tree and so on, until one day the tree produces HIS Fruit,  Fruit containing The Seed of the Fruit for others to eat of.

We see the same principle when YHWH deals with HIS people, in my case it was very evident, HE plants a seed and then step for step nurtures, protects that seed as it grows and with the growth of that Seed we begin to develop a more Divine Wisdom and Understanding of our Heavenly Father and Betrothed and this process never stops, Wisdom and new revelations for one is a stepping stone for another (please note - we are not HIS Bride - we have not made it yet, we still have quite a way to go to the finishing line, and as we know only those who persevere to the end according to HIS Rules will be HIS Bride (1 Cor. 9:24ff; 2 Tim. 2:5).

Incidentally the Scripture show us that YHWH used exactly the same principle with His Covenants - He never ever changed it, just continued to build on the original - because HE NEVER CHANGES, HE IS THE SAME YESTERDAY, TODAY AND FOREVER.

The point I am trying to make here is that if we do not have HIS WORD, HIS REVEALED WORD GIVEN TO US INDIVIDUALLY BY HIM, WE HAVE ONLY RELIGION, HUMAN REASONING - AND DEAR BROTHER AND SISTER, RELIGION WILL NOT SUSTAIN US IN THE TIMES THAT ARE COMING:

And to further explain this principle I shall need to break a second foundational rule - I shall attempt to give an educated and considered opinion based on my relationship with YHWH, what I believe to have been revelations from HIM and Scriptures as to what the future will hold for those of us who call ourselves Children of YHWH, the Elohim of Avraham, Yitsaak and Ya'akov.  

Obviously I believe that a Relationship with YHWH begins with rebirth in and through our Messiah YESHUA - HOWEVER the depth of a Relationship with YHWH is measured and based on HIS Revealed Will which obviously is in line and according to His Revealed WORD AND OUR OBEDIENCE TO WHAT HE INSTRUCTS US TO DO!

First, however, a few things you should not expect:

1. Don't expect anybody to be able to give an accurate and precise event/time line as I truly believe we will be told what to expect as and when YHWH knows the time is right for us to need to know what we need to know to go further.
2. Beware of exact date settings, we will know the season, but the specific dates I am not sure of as we have erred so far from YHWH's calendar, HIS Feasts, Shmitah years and Yovel (Jubilee) years that date setting, without Divine insight, in my opinion is very unlikely - HOWEVER WE DO KNOW THAT THE FESTIVALS OF LEV. 23 are paramount to these events (these are "the seasons" Sha'ul - Paul speaks of) and these events of the return of the Messiah must occur in a Yovel (Jubilee) year on the Yom Teruah (Feast of Tabernacles or Trumpets, or as the sages say The Wedding Feast) and it is believed that we are right now in a Shmitah year, the 7th in fact, thus if that is correct, beginning 1 Tishri (Yom Teruah) this year will be on approximately 13 September 2015 meaning the Yovel year then begins, and if that is so then there will not be another Yovel for the next 50 years - much more can be taught on this subject, but leave that for a later date as YHWH wills. 
3. Forget any sort of escape the trouble Church "Rapture" - Oh a rapture will come, but seemingly only 10 days before the Messiah our Yeshua comes back to judge and reign on Earth, this Biblical rapture we believe to be on Yom Teruah, the day when we will be taken up into the clouds to meet our Master YESHUA.  First the dead in Messiah then us.
4. Do  not expect to be eligible to enter the Camp of the Righteous (place of protection YHWH is preparing for His Remnant in places throughout the World) during the Dark Night of Ya'akov if you are not firstly born again by washing through The Blood of the Lamb; and secondly, if you are not Covenant observant to the best of your understanding. (No pork will be served in the Camps of the Righteous, and certainly no Sunday worship and Christmas celebrations).

What to expect:

1. Everything you were ever taught by your Denominational leaders will more than likely be turned on its head.
2. That if you are born again in the Blood of Messiah you are part of the House of Israel and NOT OF PART OF YOUR PRESENT DENOMINATION.
3. Global meltdown of the World systems (i.e Monetary crash, Governmental systems, Law and Order, utilities - electricity, sewage, garbage & refuse management and so forth will cease to exist).
4. Collapse of all normality and western civility (i.e. mob rule, rape, plunder - think Somalia, Libya, Syria, Islamic State on steroids: Expect also, I believe, persecution because of our Western culture and Christian Religion).
5. Apocalyptic events affecting and changing nature, human nature, spiritual perceptions and human emotions.
6. That YHWH will raise up HIS 144,000 and representatives of this group will be found all over the world, under every nation and tongue.
7. YHWH will lead us, I expect through the 144,000 to places of refuge in the various places where we have been scattered to amongst the Nations.

For the believers here in Southern Africa, I am of the opinion that the last days scenario may play out like something this:

As we sit and watch the almost unimpeded advance of the militant Islamic Jihadists through the Middle-East, Horn of Africa, Northern Africa and now into parts of Central Africa; it will only be a matter of time before the rest of Africa is in sight.  We living here in Southern Africa should not, I believe, lull ourselves into thinking we will be last to be reached by Islam, if it even reaches this far, because of our geographic placement; we may very well have them arriving here much quicker than we think by way of a classic military pincer advance.  You see we have a rather vocal and militant Islamic group already resident and active in the Cape, they have in fact been there for a few generations now.  We have also heard of Al Qaida training camps (4 I believe) already established in SA.  Then of course to compound this situation in SA we see a failing mining sector; a bleak economic outlook; an impoverished and incompetent educational and health system; militant trade unions, wild cat strikes and crippling go slows and on top of that they have an almost defunct utility provider in South Africa.  Add into the mix a very, very young and immature Che Guevara type leader gaining support under the unemployed and younger grass-root radicals in SA and who is vehemently seeking to ruffle and unseat the ruling ANC oligarchy;  and the match to light this whole fuse is a possible massive crop failure this year due to what seems to be developing into a region wide drought.  Of course an ailing global financial patient on life support: does not help much either!

Free-fall looks to be on the cards and we all know that nature abhors a vacuum, and here we have one in the making, a recipe fraught with danger and opportunities for the rise of a radical and emotional religious ideology as presented by Islam. 

It is patently evident that the marauding warriors of Islam have an agenda with Jews and Christians, that in and of itself places the white skinned natives****of Southern Africa firmly in the cross-hairs as it is a given according to the tribal natives of Southern Africa that all whites are Christians or Jews. 

Because of our almost symbiotic relationship with South Africa, a relationship without which we as a country I do not believe could survive, we are inexplicably drawn into this scenario whether we like it or not!  

We need to open our eyes to the facts before us; look at the all too apparent blindness, or is it cowardliness of the Western World shamefully showing its soft and putrified under-belly.  They, under the leadership of Obama, the UN, the EU, IME et al will not lift a finger to help us, we are collaterally expendable.  I believe it suits their cause to throw Southern Africa, indeed most if not all of Africa, under the bus, and what better way to effect this than to allow the old race/colonial/apartheid card to be played, and played especially by some apolitical Jihadist group which nobody seemingly can control or claim responsibility for.  In addition to our "problems" here and  regarding the USA, South Africa has aligned herself to the BRICS nations, thus making her an enemy of said USA, thus by default Namibia too has become a US target - so we cannot expect any help from outside our borders in my considered opinion.

Dear Brethren, if the USA will ditch Israel, forget about us in Namibia and South Africa - strategically we are much less important than Israel, and if indeed there is interest shown in SA and us it will be when we are lying down defeated and we will have to accept whatever we are offered by the "benevolent" hand of the anti-christ and his order.

Not wishing to over stress the point, but in 2003 I believe that The Ruach informed me that the Namibian Government would collapse, when asking the Father Why so as they helped the pensioners and orphans.  He replied, and I believe it to have been of Him "BECAUSE THEY DO NOT KEEP MY LAWS".  I did not understand this then - today I do - but more on that at a later date if I am so instructed.

Jer. 16:14-21; Eze. 20:33-44

Now why in heavens name am I sharing this very personal testimony and proposed insight with you all knowing full well I stand the prospect of being ridiculed, shunned or what ever else?  

Simply because I am trying to illustrate a point here between the T/two V/voices!

You see dear brethren, we have become so used to listening to the voice of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and it's accompanying TV Talking heads, Main stream media, religions and governments that we believe that somehow the solution to these massive issues will be found in our religions and governments, our denominations and their man induced doctrines; in our flawed and blind political parties, master and institutions, banks and cartels.  There was indeed a season for all these to be used in the past, but that season is drawing rapidly to a close, and our Master is wanting to tell us Personally, Face to face of His Marriage Covenant.  He is wanting to write His Eternal Covenant (Torah) on our hearts and bring us back to His Home and His Kingdom and banish those of the other house into the lake of fire - banish all those not in His Undivided House, Israel.  The followers of the other voice, the voice of humanistic reason, logic and religion's time is drawing to an end, they have repeatedly rebelled against HIM and asked for HIS judgement and now it seems they will get it, all who do not repent and return to HIM, to YHWH our Redeemer and Atoning Sacrifice, will be delivered up to separation from the Master and His Father and spend eternity in the lake of fire.

We are needing Fresh Manna and Life Giving Water every day to be able to walk this path back to Mt Sinai to receive His Covenant, the renewed one written on our hearts. To go through this Tribulation so as to be cleansed and purified; so as to be able  to put on new garments of white so that we can meet our Messiah and return with HIM TO JERUSALEM.   If we do not have the Manna we will die in the desert, we will not be led by YHWH to His Water (both natural and Spiritual) - we need a personal relationship with our Creator and Redeemer, not a relationship with our denominational leaders and their canned doctrines.

Do you have the courage to listen to The Voice of the Master or not.  The choice is yours, but one thing is certain and that is you will listen to one of the V/voices, you have no third option!

Remember there is One YHWH, One People, One Land AND ONE LAW (COVENANT).

Please, once again I implore you to read what I have stated prayerfully, lay it before YHWH, test it.   I, like every other human being on earth, am fallible and make no claim otherwise. 

Shalom in Messiah Yeshua, our Prince of Peace, our High Tower in times of trouble, our Covenant and Redeemer.

Bo'az.

****I use the word native for many of us as our families have been here for centuries and we have no ties with any other part of the World.  We are Africans as much as African Americans are Americans.  I personally disagree with the statement "African American"or "Chinese American" - surely they are Americans' regardless of the hue of their skin, they fall under the same Laws as other Americans do they not?  Well I apply the same measure to us "White Africans", us natives of Africa. Critical thinking and political correctness - divide and conquer at its best!
