WHEN YHWH LETS GO

NETTIE-OLOGY:YHWH is the supreme authority (sovereign) yet He has given us the ability to chose.  

ROMANS 1:28 THE EXPANDED VERSION

[L- And since/just as] People did not ·think it was important [consider it worthwhile; see fit] to ·have a true knowledge of [or acknowledge] God. So God ·abandoned them to [allowed them to pursue; gave them over to] ·their own worthless thinking [a depraved/corrupted mind] to do things they should not do.

I like the expanded Bible because I don’t have to look at the notes to see the literal (L), commentary (C) or other notes somewhere else. It may be confusing to some but I felt it important to put emphasis on Romans 1:28 via the Expanded Bible. 

I believe what we see today is what happens all the time, spiritually speaking, but many don’t see it. The hellish behavior we see now has been expounded upon so that there is no denial that evil exist. Yet, many people chose to put labels on it that do not reflect the true nature of the problem: A rejection of His rules for living. 

ROMANS 1:28 KING JAMES VERSION

And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, 

30  Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:  Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them. 

“People did not ·think it was important” to incorporate the teachings of YHWH in their lives. (The Expanded Version) This is what we hear today, as homosexuality is promoted in the church and abortions are funded by our government. More recently the Supreme Court has justified illegal behavior in the form of DACA. Immorality is becoming acceptable not only by people in the world but by children of YHWH. 

“So God ·abandoned them to [allowed them to pursue; gave them over to] ·their own worthless thinking”. In 2016 so many Christians were quoting 2 Chronicles 7:14 as if it was a verse that applied to everyone else but him or her. Today I see these individuals pointing the finger at others, one even accused me of not being a true Believer. Yet, out of their mouths comes condemnation, anger, and hate. 

I have seen what happens on Social Media when one Believers suggest to another Believer that perhaps he or she should walk in love, particularly as it applies to Mr. George Floyd and the tasered gentleman in Atlanta. No one wants to wait for the judicial system to do what it needs to be done- not saint or sinner. Sinners destroy their community and the saints destroy the character.

“These officers need to go to jail.” “They are murderers.” Lots’ of accusations and convictions. No one is innocent until proved guilty by saint or sinner.  The children of God are just as merciless as the children of the darkness- NOT ALL BUT TO MANY.

As He has done in the past He does now. YHWH is allowing His children to feel the pain of His removing His protection. 

PSALM 91:1-2 NEW KING JAMES VERSION

He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in Him I will trust.”

People are NOT trusting YHWH, Believers are not trusting Him. They have stepped out of His presence and looked to government to solve their problems. 

They want the doctors to heal them of COVID-19, what they are getting is confusion. 

1 CORINTHIANS 14:33 NEW KING JAMES VERSION

For God is not the author of confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints.

They want the government to give them money to survive. 

PHILIPPIANS 4:18 NEW KING JAMES VERSION

And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

And, people who call themselves Christian live in fear of what might happen if Trump does not win the election.

2 TIMOTHY 1:7 NEW KING JAMES VERSION

For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.

Some might argue: If we had been allowed to go to church our faith would not have wavered. I would suggest: You are the church. The leaders of the church should have equipped Believers to endure whatever comes including not coming to the building. 

EPHESIANS 4:11-14

And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, 

I submit to any who have dared read this entire post. Things will get better. He is merciful and full of grace but the next “wave” will be worst. Will you be ready?

PSALM 6:2 NEW KING JAMES VERSION

Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am weak; O Lord, heal me, for my bones are troubled.
