Good day all,
I feel the need to quote the verse from Jude 1:3:
Beloved, although I was very eager to write to you about our common salvation, I found it necessary to write appealing to you to contend for the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints. (ESV)
The word FAITH in the above Scripture is from the Greek word pistis (G4102) which has a meaning in expanded English of to “trust and do/obey” and is gloriously described in James 2:14-26 - we even see in this portion of Scripture that the enemy believes in YHWH being One (Deut. 6:4) - let me expand here if I may - the enemy (hasatan because he was in the Throne Room of YHWH in the beginning) KNOWS THAT YESHUA AND THE FATHER ARE ONE (echad H259 - in absolute unity and solidarity and Oneness in being) but they (hasatan and his demons, the fallen ones) tremble (in fear) - so just an intellectual belief in Yeshua as Messiah and in Unity with The Father does not result in Salvation and Sanctification….. it is the belief of Messiah and Father being One and doing THE WORKS COMMANDED OF US BY HIM that results in true PISTIS (FAITH) THUS supposed intellectual “faith” without works of obedience to such “intellectual faith” is a dead faith &THUS CANNOT BE PLEASING TO YHWH OUR ABBA (Heb. 11:6) because “...without (active belief) FAITH (pistis G4102)it is impossible to please HIM. It is important to note that the word translated as “believe” when referring to the demons in James 2:19 is the word pistyoo (G4100) which comes from same root as Pistis (G4102), BUT means just to trust or believe in - no activity seems to be required on behalf of the one doing the believing or trusting! One could do a very interesting study on these two words and see when the Bible speaks of just believing in something or someone without participation or action on behalf of the believer - or when the believing party is required to have active participation in the relationship.
Please take a moment to think about this before you read on!
The sacred, divinely mandated and initiated onus is on each and every believer to diligently and prayerfully search out the Truth and walk according to that -THIS however does not mean we just jump around and search out what we want to as we desire - it means we search out the Truth as YHWH leads us through His Ruach - as HE leads us in paths (cycles H4570 - magal - a revolving or circular well worn track) of righteousness. (Ps. 23:3): It is of paramount importance that we build the Kingdom of heaven here on Earth as YHWH Yeshua leads and directs us in accordance with His Torah and as supported by the Written Word as revealed to the Prophets and the Apostles! (Ps. 119:89; Matt. 6:10; 1 Cor. 3:11; Eph. 2:20-22; 2 Peter 1:16-20 please consider here that it was Kephas (Peter) who received the Word from Yeshua, who Himself received it from Abba - this is the same Yeshua that Peter walked with, the same Yeshua Who never ever broke the Torah of Moshe - so do you believe that Peter (Kephas), when speaking of The Father judging each according to our works could have meant works NOT OF THE TORAH OF MOSHE?)
BUT NOW: Because we have all sinned and fallen shorty of the Glory of YHWH, His House is in a state of idolatry and perversion; His House is worshipping at other high places and groves; His House is running after every “spirit” and doctrine without discernment - SIMPLY BECAUSE WE NO LONGER APPLY TORAH thus denying the very Word of YHWH and making it null en void and leading to confusion within His Body - AND THESE ARE THE HIGH PLACES OF WORSHIP WHICH WE MUST & ARE IN THE PROCESS OF BRAKING DOWN NOW - Judges 6:25-27; Mark 7: esp. verses 6-13.
We truly need to take hold of this Truth - only YHWH through the Ruach of Yeshua can open up and reveal His Word to us - an intellectual humanly based foundation will never ever suffice! Our job is to fill our minds with His Scripture as led and then allow the Ruach to rightly divide the word of Truth so that we can be found as workers pleasing to YHWH Elohim - we were never called to follow the opinions of man made laws and doctrines as such teachings and doctrines shall always lead to places of idolatry and high places of worship unto Ba’al !! (Deut. 29:29; Ecc. 8:17; Prov. 21:2; Is. 40:13-14; 55:8-11; Rom. 11:33-36; 1 Cor. 2:14-16 - the natural mind cannot see the purposes of the Torah: 2 Tim. 2:15.)
We all know, or should by this time, that the human heart, and it’s accompanying feelings and emotions which are almost always inspired and driven by our wicked hearts, are the most notoriously unreliable and wicked paths to follow (Jer. 17:9), thus we have been given the Word (TORAH written by the very Finger of YHWH and supported by the rest of the Writings) by which to judge and guide our works of faith - at our own eternal peril dare we ever rely on our own feelings, opinions and thoughts! This is not to say that YHWH does not ever use our feelings, or implant thoughts into our minds - BUT we are to prayfully discern and deduce the Truth of such feelings, opinions and thoughts to the best of our abilities and knowledge of His Word BEFORE DISSEMINATING such Words and prophecies to the Body at large!
I can, and must accept the fact that there is much misleading and confusion in The Body of Messiah right now. I also accept the fact that each and everyone of us has had a hand in this, myself included, but as we grow in Messiah Yeshua through progressive revelation from Him we come to see the error in our thoughts and ways. Many of these errors are made with the very best intentions, and I believe that we need to and are permitted to make room for such childlike errors within the Body - these errors will occur as we try to find our way back Home, as we try to find the way back to the Ancient paths we and our forefathers have covered over with human doctrine and lies as admonished in Jer. 16:10-21 and which is seemingly coming progressively to pass now within the nations of the entire world as YHWH gathers His people back to Him through the fishers of men and through massive tribulation accomplished by the hunters and other means!
We need to remember that the only requirement of man is to fear YHWH and obey His Commandments. Ecc. 12:13 because YHWH will bring every work into judgement, with every secret thing, whether good or evil! Ecc.. 12:14.
Having said all this I come to my concern and the point of this mail - I, and I believe most of The Body, are being inundated with these “Thus says the Lord” prophecies which come out in droves on a daily basis - YET we see that we have not had a meteor strike off the coast of Porto Rico stopping the world in its orbit for 3 days and sending mile high tsunami’s; we have not have planets rushing past us and showering us with debris and causing violent earth quakes; CERN has not split the earth open and released what-ever was supposed to be released in February or June or even September: Stock markets have not yet collapsed - and there is so very much more being prophesied. I for one believe solidly in Biblical prophecies, and I believe just as surely that YHWH always has and always will speak to His people in numerous way - YHWH will lead His people in accordance with His Will and Word - BUT HE ALSO WANTS EACH PERSON TO INDIVIDUALLY GROW IN KNOWLEDGE OF HIM AND TO GET TO KNOW HIS VOICE. HE WANTS TO BECOME INTIMATE WITH HIS PEOPLE ON A ONE TO ONE BASIS AS WELL AS ON A CORPORATE LEVEL - but that does not mean that we are to blurt out seemingly with out discretion endless "prophecies" for corporate consumption - the vast majority of these "prophecies" stating Thus says The LORD, may possibly be better suited when addressed as Thus says me!
These “prophecies”, in my opinion, are mainly manipulative and do nothing but cause fear and confusion within the Body of Believers. Plus these “prophets/watchmen/women” even have the audacity to tell the hearer that we must smear/anoint everything with oil; or pledge the “Blood of Jesus/Yeshua” over our actions, families, cars, journeys; they tell us Yeshua has instructed us to fast for “x” amount of days - what a circus.
Please do not tell me that Yeshua has suspended events because of our compliance by “faith” with the non-Biblical practices of smearing oil on everything, or Pledging His Precious and eternal Blood on “something”! This is akin to manipulation and that means placing our faith in witchcraft at best - OR AT WORST BOWING DOWN TO OTHER NON-BIBLICAL AUTHORITIES thereby akin to idolatry in the Spiritual world or adultery in the physical!
The Blood of Yeshua has been placed once and for all eternity before the Fathers Throne in The Heavenly Tabernacle thereby gaining for those given to Him by Abba and washed in His Blood, eternal redemption, and this dear reader was accomplished before the Foundations of the earth were even laid Heb. 9:7-14; Pet. 1:20; Rev. 13:8.
We are told in Eph. 6:10-18 arw Is. 11:5; 52:7; 59:17 that our fight is not against flesh and blood BUT against the powers and principalities and rulers of darkness so we need to put on the Whole Armour of YHWH Who is Yeshua AND THEN WE STAND IN HIS POWER AND HIS MIGHT AGAINST ANY DEMONIC POWER WHICH APPROACHES US!
Again Yakov tells us in James 4:7-8 that when we as believers resist the devil - HE WILL FLEE FROM US - and that by doing that we draw closer to Elohim AND HE DRAWS CLOSER TO US! Please note this is the same James that tells us in his epistle, Chapter 2:8 that we are to fulfil (G5055 - teleho - perform) The Royal Law - (The Kings Law - Torah - Marriage Covenant) and then in verse 20 of the same Chapter he tells us that faith without works are dead acts!
We need to understand here and now that YHWH uses everything to achieve His goals, as all authority in Heaven and on Earth is under our Redeemer and Messiah Yeshua: We need to understand that YHWH has developed the Kahilah (community/assembly of Believers) in which we are to nurture and be nurtured - here dear reader is the nursery with all its proper safety mechanisms which YHWH has provided for His children to grow, flourish, fall, be disciplined - here is the home HE has given us for now - here, in my opinion, is the proper Rom. 13:1-7 authority that YHWH refers to - NOT CIVIL GOVERNANCE - HERE IS WHERE YOU TEST YOUR DISCERNMENT AND PROPHETIC GIFTS; HERE IS WHERE YOU FIND OUT IF YOU HAVE BEEN TRULY CALLED TO A POSITION OF MINISTRY OR NOT - HERE IS WHERE YOU PRACTICE YOUR GIFTINGS AND ALLOW FRUIT TO RIPEN - WE DO NOT PRACTICE OR EXPERIMENT ON THE CORPORATE BODY OF MESSIAH YESHUA AS IS BEING DONE NOW AND WE CERTAINLY DO NOT ADVOCATE THAT YHWH IS REQUIRING OF HIS PEOPLE QUESTIONABLE AND DOWNRIGHT UNBIBLICAL ACTS FOR THE INDUCEMENT OF HIS DIVINE PROTECTION IN THESE POSSIBLY PROPHESIED END TIME SCENARIOS! We need also to understand that everything that ever happens to us is to our own good so as to become more and more like Yeshua, the First Born of YHWH, AND THAT THERE ARE GOING TO BE MASSIVE APOCALYPTIC EVENTS TAKING PLACE POSSIBLY IN THESE TIMES AND THEY MUST HAPPEN AS YHWH HAS DEEMED THEM NECESSARY FOR HIS BODY OF BELIEVERS AND THE WORLD AT LARGE IN VERY THESE TIMES - Matt. 28:18; Rom. 8:28.
THEREFORE I URGE EACH PERSON, MYSELF INCLUDED, HAVING SIGHT OF THIS MAIL/BLOG TO PLEASE BE CERTAIN THAT WHAT WE MAY PROMULGATE AS BEING FROM YHWH IS INDEED FROM HIM AND TO BE ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN WE ARE NOT ASKING FELLOW BELIEVERS TO PETITION AGAINST HIS DIVINE WILL AND PROPHESIED EVENTS - BECAUSE IF WE DO YOU WILL BE LABELED AS FALSE PROPHETS AND TEACHERS AND WILL BE PRAYING AGAINST THE WILL OF THE CREATOR AND THAT IS REBELLION!
