…..belief is more than just a feeling,
…..faith is more than just an emotion,
…..neither are sensationalism,
…..nor a fad,
…..nor a culture,
…..nor folklore,
…..leaves no place for doubt
Now “faith” is the grounds of things which are hoped for, and the evidence of things which are not seen. (Hebrews 11:1)
It is being “sure” of what we ‘hope for’ and “certain” of what we do not see. It is steadfastness in AhaYAH/IAM/GOD and His Son YahuSha and the acknowledgment of His Truth, and HIS Righteousness….
…..which is ‘unto the hope of eternal life, which Yah/God, that cannot lie, has promised before the world began’. (Titus 1)
…..a faith and understanding resting on the hope of eternal life, which YAH, Who does NOT lie, promised before the beginning of all matters, all things, all creation, all that was and is.
…..it is to “live” in this truth, by faith/belief, and not by sight ( Reference: 2 Corinthians 5:7)
Yah and His Son, He is everlasting! Without Him we are of the nature of sinners/corruption and in unrepentance are not eternal/everlasting, but decaying to perish in time, as sin = death. When we repent to Him in Him, we are remorseful and desire to be in Him, trusting in His Truth, by faith, we are justified in Him unto righteousness, as we hope for His Return, as we walk and do by faith/belief in Him. We then are redeemed with the precious “High Priest Offering” blood of YahuSha, as of a Lamb Undefiled, and without spot/blemish; which was ordained BEFORE the foundation of the world, yet was declared in the “last times” for our sakes, which by what HE has done do believe in YAH that raised HIM from the dead, and gave HIM glory, that our faith and hope be established in YAH. (Ref: 1 Peter 1)
…….purifying our souls,
…….giving us truth by obedience through HIS SPIRIT,
……. to have brotherly/sisterly love without fakeness,
…….loving with a pure heart fervently
…….being born anew (made a new creation inwardly)
…….no longer of mortal seed (appointed to death)
——but immortal (appointed to life everlasting/eternal)
……..justified by the Word of YAH – Who lives without end, forever/eternally. (Ref: 1 Peter 1)
In this world, without repentance and without faith/belief/trust in AhaYAH’s Truth and His Son, we perish, we walk toward an appointed date of death, final death, without resurrection. Thus, our presence in this life is but a fleeting moment in time, the goal being death, when we purpose to dismiss YAH. In the beginning, He breathed His Breath into our nostrils….by His Breath, we breathe, move, and have our being, thus when we go against His Word, we move out of life (breath) into death (the absence of breath, suffocation). Where HIS Breath does not reside, there is no resurrection. To walk in sin is to walk against the ability given to us to “breathe”. Life is but a “breath”/ a vapor, so gentle and in some forms invisible, but yet Breath’s Strength carries the breadth, width, height, and weight of all creation and then some! AhaYAH’s Breath carries all in the balance of all life, all spirit, all flesh, all things.
When first responders seek to rescue a person from the brink of death, they seek to attempt to maintain their breath, by using artificial means of “life support”; these moments are “critical” to the patient’s survival. Why, because Yah’s Breath of Life connects the heart, mind, spirit, and body. The heart will not beat within mankind without breath, and one’s breath cannot be maintained without the heart. The brain, malfunctions without proper heart function/blood flow and oxygen/breath; thus, it matters what is existing within someone’s mind/thoughts-beliefs, heart/intentions-desires-beliefs, and breath/their spirit-what they purpose their bodies to perform or speak. We should know our bodies are “the temple” of AhaYah and His Son YahuSha, this is more than a metaphor, for sure!
Why mention this…..because frankly, I was thinking you guys, as many of you i’m sure have done and do at times, about the awesomeness of YAH. Though some of us within this country may soon die for our faith in YahuSha/The Son of YAH, it is the corruptible flesh that will be killed; but we shall be given a new form/body–in a twinkling of an eye we shall be changed, and our spirit will never die! Yes, even right now, today, this very moment, because we are in HIM, we now walk in eternity, already! We no longer have a “final death” appointment, but instead we have an everlasting life appointment, because we who are in HIM, now walk in His everlasting matters!! So when persecution comes, you guys, my fellow brothers and sisters in His Truth, and in His Son, let us not fear, but instead be steadfast in His Everlasting Word, which He said, shall NOT PASS AWAY! Therefore, if our physical bodies are cut down by this wicked world, we still LIVE, because we abide WITHIN HIS EVERLASTING WORD. Those who abide in HIM shall NEVER DIE!
Be encouraged brothers and sisters, persecution will come from within congregations, amongst those claiming to believe in the One True Father in HEAVEN and His Son, but yet will be as wolves in sheep’s clothing. Thus the Pastors who speak Yah’s unadulterated truth shall begin to be despised by their own congregates and persecuted by the same! But do not worry, when this day comes, flee the congregations and allow Yah to make you set apart, because the fields of souls in this world will still need to hear the word of AhaYAH/God from you, but no longer in the church buildings, but instead under the roof/covering of YAH, in the garment covering of YahuSha, and the pews will be the sidewalks, the grassy lawns, the byways, and the highways of the world, and the platform will be the firm foundation of YAH holding your feet up firmly upon this earth. For the Jewish pastors/rebbes who are learning the truth of the Messiah directly from AhaYah, the same will be done to you by this world as you speak the Truth of Yah as HE teaches it to you, but HE will be with you as you enter into the fields of souls of this world, when the congregates turn you aside. The same for the muslim, who deep inside knows AhaYAH and His Son is revealing Himself to you, and others see your refinement as heretical, and seek to kill you, AhaYah knows your name, and HE will never abandon you, and HE is faithful to increase you quickly in His Truth, just stay the course, as we all purpose to do what HE instructed which is to “come out of her my people”, out of this world’s death wish, and into Yah’s marvelous Light and Life.
For police officers, sheriffs, detectives, chiefs, fire fighters, military, MP’s , rescue squads, government militia, citizen militia, doctors, nurses, medical personnel,…etc who are first responders….wear your faith in Yah and His Son as armor, as your uniform, and let his WORD be your first weapon of protection against the enemy, and as your instrument of preservation/healing……you are on the front lines in more ways than one, but stand firm, with no compromise in the TRUTH of YAH, and wear love within your breastplate, that many may see HIM through your actions towards others, because how we all “respond” can also save a soul/a life. Hats off to you first responders, stand Strong in YahuSha Messiah! America has sat relatively comfortable for many years of its young existence, as this nation heinously imposed its will upon a people of an ancient nation who are natives to this land, with an attitude as unto the beast,
……………”who is like unto the beast, who can make war with him?”…………
Many Americans arrogantly shout this in their hearts about this nation. It isn’t this evil that has kept this nation going, but instead the Spirit of AhaYah and His Son within many of the citizens of this nation who maintained a prayerful and abundant desire and love for the Way of Yah and The Word, that has given America her time to repent as a nation. But now, the nation [and her western counterparts-UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, etc], is falling, and tragically, the whole world in which she engaged to go forth to conquer, and to conquer all in the name of (bringing false) peace and security, is awaiting her downfall, and i suspect even some in the government who desire “the beast” and despise The Truth. Israel is not the only nation hated amongst the nations of the world, but so is the USA, why? I won’t say why, because you know already! Just like we know why Syria, and soon Jordan will go through even more persecution, they are much more than what the world has convinced them to believe, and they will soon realize their true identity as AhaYah will reveal it to them in the midst of it all.
Studying all of the genealogy, names of peoples, and original names of lands and waterways, will reveal it to those of us who have not yet realized this. Yah didn’t include these things in such detail in His Word for nothing.
So as the World Court, World Bank, the U.N. along with their One World Religion, New World Order, One World Language, and their falsified Ark of Hope [a man-made counterfeit of the Ark of the Covenant/Agreement] continue to press forward upon the blood of many around this earth, know that the “time” of the beast is short! All that is wicked has an appointed time with death, and Yah is faithful to do as He said, which is to shorten the time of the wicked and their god the devil. Many around the world are being slaughtered, did we think we would go unscathed?
We must ask AhaYah to continue to clothe us in His Full Armor, for this time which is upon us……praying for one another in HIM. Remembering the patience of the set-apart-ones/saints, always to show love toward, yes, even your enemy, always being humble and not full of pride, learning to be satisfied and thankful, remembering where HE brought and literally bought us from, with HIS LIFE, that many will continue to hear the GOOD NEWS! Remembering faith as small as a mustard seed can move mountains, and we who have faith as the prophets and apostles of old, shall do as YahuSha showed His taught ones/disciples what we are able to do in the POWER OF YAH! He will pour out His Spirit upon all flesh, we shall dream dreams, shall prophesy, have visions, shall heal the sick in His Name and by His Power, even resurrected the dead by His Power! Have Faith and belief, in His Truth, all of it/HIM! Be encouraged, and encourage one another, encourage me too, please!
Please view this video link, and continue to pray for all of the people of Yah around the earth, especially here in the USA, who may not yet be ready for what has essentially already begun and will increase in intensity……peace you guys, much love and peace.
