YAH (God) is CALLING - 6 June 2019
In the days we are living in right now, it is VITALLY IMPORTANT that we really really KNOW where we STAND in our FAITH. We NEED to KNOW that we are GENUINELY SONS and DAUGHTERS of the KING walking in an INTIMATE COVENANT WHOLEHEARTED RELATIONSHIP with Him - SET APART from a WORLD that has BECOME ALL the MORE LOOKING like the "FATHER" it has - the devil himself - the god of the world. (John 8:44 "You BELONG to your FATHER, the DEVIL, and you WANT to CARRY OUT YOUR FATHER'S DESIRES.")
The MURDERER is on the LOOSE:
The devil, being a MURDERER from the BEGINNING CANNOT STAND in the TRUTH, because there is NO TRUTH IN him. (John 8:44b)
The [false] FATHER IS FALSE and can only SPEAKS what is NATURAL to him:
The FATHER of ALL LIES:
When the devil SPEAKS - he SPEAK a FALSEHOOD for he SPEAKS what is NATURAL to him. He is a LIAR himself and the father of LIES and of ALL that is FALSE. (John 8:44c)
WHEN ABORTIONS are BEING 'PROTECTED' - WRONGS become RIGHT:
On the 10th of April this year, the Australian High Court declared Kathy Clubb a "CRIMINAL" for sharing her belief in the VALUE of LIFE WITHIN an "ABORTION ZONE".
On the exact same day, Tasmania became the first state to PASS COMPELLING SPEECH LAWS - laws that will give you a fine if you accidentally "MISGENDER" others!
A COVENANT RELATIONSHIP with the KING:
YAH is CALLING:
Midst in all that is happening - when we LIVE in a HABITUAL COVENANT RELATIONSHIP with the KING - He will GIVE us His PEACE in all CIRCUMSTANCES. We will KNOW that it is SCRIPTURE GOING INTO FULFILLMENT right before our eyes when RIGHT is TURNED into WRONG and JUSTICE is not served ANYMORE.
An INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP with our heavenly FATHER STARTS with:
ACKNOWLEDGING MESSIAH YAHSHUA as our ONLY SAVIOR:
a) ACKNOWLEDGE YAHSHUA and INVITE HIM INTO OUR LIVES -
ACKNOWLEDGING YAHSHUA as our SAVIOR, BELIEVING that He has DIED for MANKIND'S SIN but also for our OWN PERSONAL SINS is only the first step.
Multitudes of people have invited Yahshua in, but STOPPED there thinking that they are now SAVED - their SINS have ALL BEEN AUTOMATICALLY FORGIVEN!
Many are told that they are NEW TESTAMENT BELIEVERS now - the LAW has FALLEN AWAY or is ONLY for the JEWS and is just the HISTORY of the Jews.
Multitudes were never told that they have to YIELD, SUBMIT to YAHSHUA WHOLEHEARTEDLY, CLEANING up their LIVES by REPENTANCE and TURN AWAY from their SINS to FOLLOW their SAVIOR WHOLEHEARTEDLY.
REPENTANCE is NOT PREACHED:
A TURN-AROUND:
To be able to live in a covenant relationship with Yah, we NEED to REPENT FULLY and TURN AWAY from our SINS FULLY.
Repentance is SINCERE GODLY REGRET, SORROW and REMORSE over our SINS and SINFUL LIFESTYLES ... coming from a WHOLEHEARTED SORROW over our WRONGS ... asking YAH to FORGIVE us ... AMENDING our WAYS ... asking others FORGIVENESS if we have WRONGED them ...and RETURNING WHOLEHEARTEDLY to YAH (God) with ALL OUR HEART.
HALF-HEARTED REPENTANCE:
Many times we only half-heartedly repent before Yah of our wrongs, REFUSING to GIVE UP our SIN(S) or only GIVE it UP for a WHILE then fell back into it again.
Many times we SEEK FORGIVENESS from YAH but WOULD NOT FORGIVE THOSE who SINNED AGAINST us or ourselves ignorantly would NOT SEEK FORGIVENESS from THOSE we ourselves HAVE WRONGED ...
IT'S A MATTER OF THE HEART:
A SORROWFULLNESS - MOURNING - WEEPING:
In Joel 2:12-13, Yahweh CALLED to His people and to EACH ONE OF US to RETURN to HIM with ALL OUR HEARTS, with FASTING, with WEEPING and with MOURNING, RENDERING our HEARTS.
YAH is asking us to PURIFY our HEARTS, to CONVICT ourselves and MAKE AMENDS, SUBMITTING our HEARTS (SPIRITS) WHOLEHEARTEDLY to Him.
Joel 2:12-13 "RETURN to Me with ALL your HEART, with FASTING, with WEEPING, and with MOURNING; and REND YOUR HEARTS ..."
A REMORSEFUL HEART - a GODLY GRIEF:
REPENTANCE says the Psalmist comes WITH A BROKEN SPIRIT and a CONTRITE (remorseful, regretful, ashamed of the sin) HEART. (Ps. 51:17). Such a person will be ACCEPTABLE to YAH and would not be DESPISED by Him.
"FULL" REPENTANCE is ONLY ACHIEVED when we ask YAH (God) to FORGIVE us - TURNING AWAY from our WRONGS - MAKING AMENDS if we have WRONGED OTHERS by also SEEKING their FORGIVENESS - then TURN to YAH (God) WHOLEHEARTEDLY and KEEP on SEEKING FORGIVENESS the moment HOLY SPIRIT CONVICTS us of our SINS/WRONGS ... a LIFELONG PROCESS.
KEEPING the COMMANDMENTS (TEACHINGS, LAWS) of our HEAVENLY KING.
Proverbs 3 gives us the "KEY" in GODLY LIVING:
Proverbs. 3:1
My Son/daughter, FORGET NOT MY LAW or TEACHING, but LET YOUR HEART KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS.
Proverbs 3:2
For LENGTH of DAYS and YEARS of a LIFE WORTH LIVING and TRANQUILITY (calmness, peacefulness, harmony), INWARD AND OUTWARD and CONTINUING THROUGH OLD AGE TILL DEATH, THESE SHALL THEY ADD to you.
Proverbs 3:3
Let NOT MERCY and KINDNESS, [SHUTTING OUT ALL HATRED AND SELFISHNESS], and TRUTH, [SHUTTING OUT ALL DELIBERATE HYPOCRISY or FALSEHOOD] FORSAKE you;
BIND THEM (MERCY AND KINDNESS AND TRUTH) ABOUT YOUR NECK, WRITE THEM UPON the TABLET OF YOUR HEART. (Col. 3:9-12).
Proverbs 3:4
SO shall you FIND FAVOR, GOOD UNDERSTANDING, and HIGH ESTEEM in the SIGHT [or judgment] of YAH (God) AND MAN.
Proverbs 3:5
LEAN ON, TRUST IN, and be CONFIDENT in YAHWEH (the Lord) with ALL YOUR HEART and MIND and do NOT RELY ON YOUR OWN INSIGHT or UNDERSTANDING.
Proverbs 3:6
IN ALL your WAYS KNOW, RECOGNIZE, and ACKNOWLEDGE HIM, and HE WILL DIRECT AND MAKE STRAIGHT and PLAIN your PATHS.
Proverbs 3:7
BE NOT WISE IN YOUR OWN EYES; REVERENTLY FEAR and WORSHIP YAHWEH (the Lord) and TURN [ENTIRELY] AWAY from EVIL.
Proverbs 3:8
IT SHALL BE HEALTH to YOUR NERVES and SINEWS, and MARROW and MOISTENING to your BONES.
Proverbs 3:11-12
... DO NOT DESPISE or SHRINK from the CHASTENING of YAHWEH (the Lord), ... For WHOM YAH LOVES, HE CORRECTS even as a FATHER CORRECTS the SON in WHOM HE DELIGHTS.
Proverbs 3:13-14
HAPPY (BLESSED, FORTUNATE, ENVIABLE) is the MAN who FINDS SKILLFULL AND GODLY WISDOM, and the MAN WHO GETS UNDERSTANDING [DRAWING IT FORTH from YAH'S WORD and LIFE'S EXPERIENCES.] For the GAINING of it is BETTER than the GAINING of SILVER; and the PROFIT of it better than FINE GOLD.
O ABBA, thank You for YOUR WORD - YES Your WORD is TRUTH and WISDOM and UNDERSTANDING in Your KINGDOM THINGS ...

YOUR COMMANDMENTS - COMMANDS - TEACHINGS are our NAVIGATION - our LIFE INSTRUCTION MANUEL - YOUR WORD IS ALL THAT WE NEED ... in YAHSHUA MESSIAH'S NAME. Amen.
