Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.
JF Kennedy POTUS inaugural address 1961
Thou shalt love YHWH thy Elohim with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
Yeshua HaMessiach KING OF THE UNIVERSE, Jerusalem +/- AD30 Mat. 22:37-38
I received a message from a sister in Messiah a few days ago and in it she stated that there were those within their Kahilah "who just wanted to go back to their comfort zones!"
I am rather intimately related with this Kahilah, and it is such a shame to hear that those wanting the Kahilah to function in such a fashion so as to meet their comfort zones seemingly did very little to accommodate anybody within this Kahilah!
And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of Elohim; I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see. As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. Rev. 3:14-22
We make the mistake of believing that comfort zones are places of pleasure, and although this is often so, that is not necessarily correct - rather a comfort zone is a place, situation or circumstances in or to which we have become accustomed and for one or other reason are loathe to leave!
I have seen abused women, children and even men so conditioned to their environment of depravity, violence and abuse that they are absolutely incapable of surviving or even functioning outside of that environment, and as we all know, people from such environments most often need support groups and counselling to begin to adjust to a life outside of these dysfunctional surroundings they may call home.
Now make no mistake we all, and I mean all, have come from varying degrees of dysfunctional homes and in our turn produced off-spring with certain dysfunction's simply because we have all sinned and fallen short of the Glory of Elohim (Rom. 3:23) and we have all been impacted negatively by this fallen world and it's Babylonian systems of confusion and lies we call HOME!
I am not here to lambaste or demean anybody, I am writing this today to simply ask each and every person reading this missive to please question yourself honestly and prayerfully before YHWH in the light of Rev. 3:14-22 .
Is it not possible that we may be the instruments that YHWH is wanting to use to help deliver His Lost Sheep from their places of paralysing depravity or self-centred blindness?
Brethren where to start?
Unfortunately most of those who will be seeking our Messiah, in these time especially, will most probably be devastated and needy in more area's than we could ever imagine, and it is up to us, should we accept, to help them, to be their support groups.
Because persecution WILL COME I BELIEVE TO EACH AND EVERYONE OF US IN OUR LIFE TIME and for some of us just being of a certain ethnic group living in a certain area will bring persecution! Mat. 10:16-25
Because the World system, be it financial, political, religious, cultural, moral, social, civil - WILL COLLAPSE, AND IN FACT IS ALREADY DOING SO!
Because if you are truly a Spirit led Believer in Messiah Yeshua YOU CANNOT REMAIN A PART OF THIS WORLD BECAUSE THE WORLD WILL REJECT YOU! John 14:15-17; 1 John 2:15.
Brethren your enemy WILL BE THOSE CLOSEST TO YOU! Mat. 10:34-39
These are not conspiracy theories, and neither are the facts that we are being slowly killed off by GM foods; Pharmaceutical giants are pumping us full of debilitating drugs, chemicals and toxins in the name of finance and science …Hmmm! Laws have been so skewed as to make right wrong and wrong right; Chemtrails, Fukushima and all the Nuclear reactors we have built and introduced for the benefit of Mother Earth (Ghia) are radiating and killing all of creation off; completely defenceless and unborn babies are not safe or afforded any protection or human rights and acceptance whilst at their most vulnerable in the mothers wombs; little girls are no longer safe in their own toilets; little boys are being made to believe that their "uncles" can fondle them and thats OK!
WHERE ARE WE?
WHERE IS THE VOICE OF MESSIAH?
WHERE IS THE INDIGNATION OF ABBA FATHER?
Dare I say that YHWH Elohim cannot trust us with His Righteousness and Authority because we are too wrapped up with our own COMFORT ZONES, OUR OWN LIVES, TO WORRY ABOUT THE WIDOW, THE ORPHAN, THE STRANGER; or to care for THE HOMELESS, THE OPPRESSED!
IS LOOKING TOWARDS THESE PEOPLE IN PLACES OF NEED NOT WHAT WE ARE CALLED TO DO? IS THIS NOT THE AFFLICTING OF OUR SOULS, THE FASTING THAT YHWH ELOHIM REQUIRES OF US? (Is. 58)
Dare we forget the judgement of Yeshua described by Him, Himself in Mat. 25:31-45?
Brethren here is the bottom line, are we so deceived, or have we so lied to ourselves that we are believing that we are working on His Temple, when all the while we are building our own "panelled house"? Hag. 1:2-11
WE WILL NOT SURVIVE WHAT IS COMING, KNOW THAT AS A FACT, AND GETTING INVOLVED IN HIS KINGDOM WORKS ON OUR TERMS WILL ALSO NOT PROTECT US FROM THE COMING JUDGEMENT AND PLAGUES. Rev. 18:1-5
I believe that there is a massive work going forward through The Ruach in the earth right now - I BELIEVE THAT THERE IS A SEPARATING OF THE OF THE SHEEP FROM THE SHEEP!
Eze. 20:20 prophecies of this happening during the last days as spoken of in Eze. 20:12 "cloudy and dark day" an idiom for end times and the gathering of the sheep from the nations back to Eretz Yisrael.
Please read Ezekiel 20, which ties in with Mat. 9 and 10: This is so important for both leaders and believers and especially in these end days - we see in Mat. 9 & 10 that Messiah Yeshua began to fulfil this prophecy of re-gathering His Sheep, and we, His Disciples, have been called to carry that work into these end of days - WE TOO WILL DO WORKS SIMILAR TO WHAT YESHUA DID, AND EVEN GREATER AS HE PROMISED IN John 14:12-14!
Please dear reader to hang onto our comfort zones, to build our "kingdoms" in these time will result in our works being burnt and seen for what they are, HAY AND STUBBLE, and we may very well just barely escape with our lives having been saved by fire! 1 Cor. 3:12-15
Here is the true litmus test Yeshua has given to us: AND THE SECOND IS LIKE UNTO IT (THE FIRST PART OF THIS COMMANDMENT WHICH IS TO LOVE YHWH ELOHIM WITH ALL OUR HEART, SOUL AND MIND) THOU SHALT LOVE THEY NEIGHBOUR AS THYSELF! Mat. 22:39
And here is where the rub comes in: Are we absolutely sure that YHWH Yeshua may NOT find our works just LUKEWARM?
How can we be sure that HE WILL NOT?
Well by TAKING HIS COUNSEL AND ASKING HIM TO SELL US HIS GOLD REFINED IN HIS FIRE; A WHITE RAIMENT MADE BY HIM THROUGH DOING HIS PERFECT WORKS AND ASKING HIM HOW WE CAN PURCHASE AND PUT HIS OINTMENT ONTO OUR EYES THAT WE MAY SEE AS HE WOULD WANT US TO SEE! Rev. 3:14-22
We need the Messiah, our Tower of Strength, Protection and Provision in these times more than we may ever have needed Him before: HE WILL RAISE UP HIS BODY AND ESTABLISH HIS ACTS ASSEMBLIES AGAIN AS HE HAS PROMISED, SO THAT GREATER WORKS CAN BE DONE THAN BEFORE, AND TO DO THIS HE WILL RAISE UP HIS 5 FOLD MINISTRY - DARE WE THEN ASK HIM NOW TO CLEANSE US IN HIS FIRE, COVER OUR NAKEDNESS WITH HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS AND ANOINT OUR BLIND EYES WITH HIS OINTMENT OF GRACE?
DO WE HEAR HIS KNOCK?
DO WE HEAR HIS VOICE?
WILL HE COME IN AND SUP WITH US AND ALLOW US TO BE JOINED TOGETHER WITH HIM AND HIS BODY AS HE HAS DESIRED - NOT AS WE WOULD WANT OR LIKE, OR IMAGINE IT SHOULD HAPPEN?
IF SO, ARE WE READY TO FORSAKE OUR OWN PANELLED HOUSES, IDEAS AND COMFORT ZONES, WHATEVER THEY MAY BE, TO LOVE OUR NEIGHBOUR AS MUCH AS WE SHOULD LOVE HIM AND OURSELVES?
BECAUSE DEAR BRETHREN HIS BODY, OUR NEIGHBOUR, IS MESSIAH YESHUA AND WHATEVER WE DO FOR THEM WE DO FOR OUR MASTER YESHUA! Mat. 25:31-46!
So lets stop asking what can the Kingdom of YHWH do for us, BUT rather what can we do for IT!
Let HIM show us whom HE wants us to help and how - BECAUSE THE FIELDS ARE INDEED WHITE UNTO HARVEST! John 4:35-36
Shalom in Messiah Yeshua
Bo'az
