Call of Destiny.

I am going to step outside the box today and dive into possibly one of the most frightening aspects of our human existence, the need to discover AND FULFIL our Elohim given Destiny! Jer. 29:11; Eph. 2:8-10.

It is essential that we understand that we were all born for the times in which we live and therefore our personal Destiny’s are inexplicably linked to the current status quo that we find ourselves living in; for example we read in Judges 6 of Gideon whose destiny (calling) and life were directly impacted by the marauding and tyrannical Midianites WHOM YHWH ELOHIM, BECAUSE OF HIS PEOPLES WICKEDNESS, ALLOWED TO TROUNCE YISRAEL. 

The Destiny and actions of Yisrael and all her Kings, Prophets and Apostles, including The Chief Apostle Himself, were directly impacted by the political and social status quo of their respective times.

Although we all are in the world, those of YHWH Yeshua are not of this world and consequently the T/two K/kingdoms will invariably impact each other this side of our Messiah’s return, hence to address the Kingdom of Light and It’s Citizens WILL ALWAYS REFLECT ON THE KINGDOMS OF THIS WORLD AND THEIR SYSTEMS, AND THE KINGDOMS OF THIS WORLD AND THEIR RULERS WILL RESENT THE RULE OF YHWH BEING DECLARED TO HIS PEOPLE - (Rom. 8:1-8; James 4:1-4). We are not able to separate the two K/kingdom right now (Parable of the Wheat and tares – Matt. 13:24-30) BUT THAT DOES NOT MEAN WE ARE TO BECOME TARES AND BY THE FULFILLING OF OUR DESTINIES WE WILL ENSURE THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN TO US!

Destiny is what each of us needs to search and strive for to give our lives meaning in this fallen and depraved world! Prov. 25:2

Destiny is a relentless taskmaster that can only be satisfied when we have given all of ourselves for It’s cause! Matt. 25:24-24.

Destiny cannot abide in a world of mediocrity, conformity or compromise! Duet. 4:29; Deut. 6:5; Prov. 3:5-6; Jer. 29:13.

Destiny is a gift from YHWH Elohim to His sons and daughters and consequently cannot be imprisoned or enslaved! Rom. 8:14-21, 35-39.

Destiny, is achieved by actions in the here and now, BUT it is played out on the stages of eternity! John 14:14-15, 21-24; Jer. 17:7-10; Matt. 7:21-23.

Each of our personal Destinies has been placed in our own hands through Yeshua; It, Destiny, is offered to us all, but unfortunately very few will accept and embrace it to the end! Eze. 22:30; Matt. 22:14; 1 Cor. 9:24-27.

Destiny is a small still voice which makes us march to a drum beat most may not even hear or recognise, so know that only the most devoted will march towards their Destiny! 1 Kings 19:9-18; Matt. 10:34-39; John 3:7-8.

Destiny’s closest Companion and Ally is Wisdom! Prov. 1:20-33; Prov. 8:1-21.

Destiny and Its Companion Wisdom, if we will allow Them to, will become our constant Helper and Friend! Ps. 119:105.

Destiny and Its Companion Wisdom is what keeps the flame of life burning within us because without Them we shall perish!  Prov. 2:11; Prov. 29:18; Hos. 4:6.

Destiny is born out of adversity and must be SOUGHT, PURSUED AND DESIRED WITH OUR WHOLE HEART, THEN IT SHALL BE REVEALED TO US! Jer. 29:12-14.

In summary; if we, that includes both those of The Book of Life and those not named therein, were to be very honest with ourselves we would need to acknowledge the irrefutable fact the world that we live in has been awakened to a process of change; a process derived from a growing dissatisfaction with the status quo that we collectively refer to as "The Western society", "developed or developing world", "Global community" etc.

This ground swell, this “silent” revolution, now rolling over the entire World, and for the benefit of this piece, the Western World will, in my opinion, not be stopped. It has welled up from the grass-roots levels of the ordinary man and woman on the streets who now are saying “WE HAVE HAD ENOUGH!”

This “swell”, made up of both Believers and non-believers in YHWH the Elohim of Abraham, Yitzhak & Ya’akov, are generally not malicious nor looking for a fight; they rather are using the systems at their disposal to make a deep-seated declaration of their dissatisfaction with the world systems for varying reasons, the least not being moral decay, loss or mixing of national identities & financial mismanagement.

IT IS THROUGH THIS MEASURED BUT PERSISTENT BREAKING DOWN OF OUR JUDEO-CHRISTIAN VALUES IN OUR CULTURES BY THE POWERS THAT BE, THAT OUR EYES ARE STARTING TO BE OPENED BY YHWH's RUACH TO THE TRULY PITIFUL CONDITIONS WE EXIST UNDER – WE NOW BEGIN TO SEE THE OUR LIVES WE HAVE IN THE WORLD FOR THE PIGSTIES THAT THEY ACTUALLY ARE; JUST SWILL AND FILTH NOT FIT FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION! Luke 15:11-32.

WE NOW HAVE REACHED THE POINT WHERE WE WANT/NEED CHANGE BUT WE ARE UNABLE TO EVEN FORMULATE YET WHERE THAT CHANGE WILL LEAD US, OR IN FACT EVEN HOW TO ELICIT THIS CHANGE – ALL WE KNOW AND CAN SENSE THOUGH IS THAT WE DO KNOW WE NEED THIS CHANGE: WE CANNOT REMAIN AS WE ARE ANY LONGER! Ex. 2:23-25.

There are, in my opinion, two paths that this seeking after change will adopt:

• ·     Firstly the secular human approach by trying to force changes towards a new system of human Governance.
• ·      And the second being changes brought about by obedience to YHWH Elohim and the physical paths HE leads us down (Ps. 23).

For those of us professing a Bondservant relationship with YHWH Elohim through Yeshua our Messiah I would categorically state that option 2 is the correct path to adopt, therefore whether Abba has allowed Pharaoh’s plans to begin this move or not is irrelevant, because nothing happens unless YHWH Elohim allows it and I do believe this move IS PART OF OUR MOVE TO RETRUN TO HIS FREEDOM OF DIVINE GOVERNANCE AS SPOKEN OF IN Deut. 30:1-8 (this is for all of us who believe in YHWH Elohim NOT JUST THE JEWS AS SOME MAY SAY).

This is where I believe our Destiny’s (Witness of Yeshua) shall begin to kick in and the resulting persecution and testing of HIS People will begin. Eze. 20:33-44; Rev. 12:17; Rev. 14:9-13.

We would be naïve to believe that the wicked one and his systems which he has been putting in place for 6000 years, is just going to sit around and let his systems crumble so I believe that herein lies a massive danger to YHWH Elohim’s people as seen in the Verses quoted above from Revelation.

Looking at Gen. 3:1-6 & again at Rev. 12:13-17 should give us a good idea of the general strategy that the enemy will use: Because we are gifted with the freedom of Will by our Creator YHWH Yeshua, the enemy NEEDS US TO DECIDE FOR OR AGAINST HIM - HE NEEDS US TO DECIDE AGAINST YHWH OUR ELOHIM AND FOR HIM, THEREFORE HE WILL EMPLOY A STRATEGY ENTIRELY BASED ON OUR FALLEN HUMAN NATURE AND REASONING which of course we all know is now tainted by emotions and observations of the flesh, in other words, he will use the same tactic as he did for the sin of the Garden.

The enemy will try and discredit The Word (Did YHWH really say….); he will play on our emotions, HE WILL WANT US TO UNITE THROUGH THE REJECTION OR MISAPPLICATION OF THE TRUE WORD OF YHWH ELOHIM & THUS ANY SPIRIT LED APPLICATION OF YHWH'S WORD, HIS TORAH, WILL LEAD TO A BELIEF THAT THIS TRUTH OF YHWH'S WORD IS IN FACT WRONG BECAUSE IT WILL CAUSE DIVISION & the enemy must achieve division in The House of YHWH to conquer and rule since that is the strategy he has used from day 1.Ba'aam and Balak - Numbers 31:16; Rev. 2:14-16.

He will call good evil & evil good (abortions are right because they are a woman’s human right; forced integration of religions and cultures are right; LGBT actions with their transgender facilities and educational curriculum is right; the exclusivity of our Faith in Messiah and as laid out in and through HIS Word is wrong) – The man and woman of Destiny needs to accept right now that they will be called lawless criminals of the State for adhering to His Word and His Will – See the practices of Pharaoh in the times of Moshe for a good example – Ex. 1:1-2:10; 8:1; 9:1, 13 arw 1 Cor. 10).

The enemy will use political correctness to “mingle T/the S/seeds” (remember this is a Spiritual S/seed –NOT A PHYSICAL ONE! Rom. 9:6-8)  - Basically he will mix and confuse everything hoping to divide YHWH’s House because that is after all the very DNA of the seed/fruit of the Tree of the Knowledge of good and evil.

Those of Destiny shall need to judge according to His Ruach as measured against His Word, plain intellectual and academic qualifications I fear will not cut it – John 7:24-26; John 8:15; 1 Cor. 1:18-31; 1 Cor 2:4-16.

Brethren, as I have noted already, globally it is plain to see that these are not normal times, emotions are high, the spirits of seduction are running riot and the man or woman of Destiny will need to be founded and grounded in The Word Himself as led by The Ruach of YHWH to be enabled to escape these spirits, spirits which are being allowed to appeal to our every fleshy whim and desire. Deut. 8:1-3; 1 Tim. 4; 2 Tim. 2:12-19.

The spirit of passiveness or neutrality that is so very predominant in the denominations has no place in the Kingdom of YHWH (Rev. 3:15-16), and the man or woman of Destiny will combine fervent prayer with physical deeds of obedience (James 2:14-19) to overcome this spirit of lethargy and fear.

Hence in conclusion brother and sister of Destiny let us be as cautious as serpents BUT as innocent as doves because we will be brought before the authorities of the world to answer their charges against our Messiah and His works to be done through us and please do not be complacent and think that just because many of us reading this blog are still, by the Grace of YHWH, living in countries where we still have more freedoms than others – be lulled into believing we are OK - I am reminded of the poem of the "The Snake" now made famous by Trump, so be aware and beware of the dangers out there and let us not be swept up by the spirits of seduction, religion, deception or politics because we are not called to establish another Human System, but rather let us pray that we be used to establish and cause His Kingdom to come earth as it is in Heaven! Matt. 10:16-22; Matt. 24:4-5 & 23-24; Matt. 6:9-13.

Please once again remember I too am just a man trying to find his way back home, so read this with caution and check it out against The Word and prayer.

Shabbat shalom
