I have a personal relationship with Abba Father through His Son, my Lord, Yeshua Hamashiach. I use the various names of my creator I prefer YHWH because it reminds me that He is not like the gods of other people. When I met a man named Jesus (pronounced Hay-soos in Spanish) I thought it best for me to start referring to my Lord as Yeshua. My relationship with Him is personal thus it is unique to me.
I don’t go to church every Sunday, I do my own Bible study, Bible research and talk to YHWH directly. I think everyone should be like me.
PHILIPPIANS 2:12-13
Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure.
What good is it to dedicate your time and energy to church attendance if when a problem arises you don’t know what to do so you turn to man for answers? Philippians states “work out your own salvation”. But, if you are dependent on someone else to tell you what to believe He, God, cannot work in you “to will and to do for His good pleasure.”
ROMANS 8:28How can you expect things to work out for good IF you have no clue what HIS PURPOSE in your life is. It is only when you seek His face on your own that you grow in understanding and faith. It is this personal relationship with YHWH that allows you to know during difficult times that no weapon formed against you will succeed or that a thousand may fail, fall, but you will remain standing.
And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.
ISAIAH 54:17
No weapon formed against you shall prosper, And every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, And their righteousness is from Me,” Says the Lord.
PSALM 91:7YES, hanging out with like believers is a good thing. The problem is, as I look around today, many people who attend church don’t believe.
A thousand may fall at your side, And ten thousand at your right hand; But it shall not come near you.
In the midst of the medical and political chaos America is trying to create YHWH is speaking. God is lifting up those who will speak on His behalf to those who have ears and want to hear, eyes and want to see.
As David leads the nation and Noah builds the ark. Will you not listen? He has provided Rahabs, to lead you out of the stronghold. He has positioned Esthers in your community to teach you what to do. Ruth has been gathering provisions. There is even a child (one with child like faith) who has fish and bread in a basket.
Far to many of you are like Lot’s wife- you keep looking back. You are worried, fearful, panicking, complaining like the children of Israel after being lead out of Egypt. Many Christians are looking at the problem therefore they don't see that Jesus already provide the answer.
Sure your church had great age appropriate programs for the children. And the coffee area is a great place to socialize with your friends. I know the worship is good and the message is short and to the point. In your church offerings is what you do in addition to greeting one another, BUT.
BUT, after the Church Leader finishes the series he was on and before beginning the next one, do you feel confident to handle the crisis. Do you know what to say when the doctor tells you- Your child has stage 4 Cancer? Are you able to cope with a spouse who comes to tell you that he / she is homosexual? When Satan gets in your face and challenges you with a personal worst case scenario are you able to handle it. DO YOU KNOW HOW TO WORK OUT YOUR OWN SALVATION? For many Christians the answer is -no.
My faith is based on my who I believe I am. I am not a sinner, I was a sinner but Jesus became my Lord and Savior and from that moment on I became a new creation. I am a Saint, perfected by the blood of the Lamb, yes I sin but I am not a sinner. YHWH does not inhabit the vessels of sinners and I am filled with the Spirit of the living God, therefore I am more than a conqueror (Romans 8:37) and live a victorious life. . How about you?
TODAY, EL SHADDAI IS SPEAKING. Many Christians are to busy listening to the news to hear what He is saying. Others heard what He said but could not hold on to His words because they were reaching for popular opinion on Facebook. I tell you, the Bible is presenting itself as it is written and you, many of you, don’t see it.
MATTHEW 13:11-12, 15
He answered and said to them, “Because it has been given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given. For whoever has, to him more will be given, and he will have abundance; but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.For the hearts of this people have grown dull. Their ears are hard of hearing, and their eyes they have closed, lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, lest they should understand with their hearts and turn, so that I should heal them.’
I believe COVID-19 has become a self fulfilling prophecy to many who were looking for the bottom to fall out on this nation. The Word teaches we are to look to Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith (Hebrews 12:2) not man but we have been conditioned / programmed to follow man. We are to turn to Him in times of trouble not government, not our Church Leader. (Remember, Romans 2:11 states For there is no partiality with God.) Unfortunately, because people seek bad news and not the good news of the gospel, despite regular church attendance YHWH’s children are not equipped to handle this man made crisis.
The ark is being built, but there will not be a flood.
