Galatians 3:3

Encroaching upon the third week of March and needless to say time is yet flowing faster and faster. Things are heating up and the seasons are briskly passing one after another. From the change of heavenly worship to personal holiness I feel that now is the time that Yeshua Messiah will come again shortly. Time is almost up and yet His church is slumbering and unaware of the Day fast approaching. Many things still need to be cleansed and purified for holiness unto yahweh but thankfully just as the days are getting shorter so too is Elohim's great work in and though each and every one of His elect. He is cutting the work short in righteousness and now we will see the glory of Yahweh risen up each and every one of His chosen people.

But what does it take to be His people? Nothing, it is the free gift of Elohim: Yeshua Messiah His Son who gave His life for us that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people; zealous for the good works which He has prepared for us to walk in beforehand. But we cannot be both of the world and of the kingdom of Elohim, we cannot have one foot here and another there. It takes full commitment and requires us to choose just one: life or death, the passing pleasures of this life or the eternal pleasures found in Yahweh's presence. Just like Elijah said: "How long halt ye between two opinions? If יהוה be Elohim, follow Him: but if the Baal, then follow him." Now is the time, Yeshua is coming again and we must be found abiding in Him and He in us lest we be caught unawares by the fast approaching Day of Yahweh.

This is something not feasible, unobtainable through human reasoning, strength and otherwise but purely by faith and faith alone. Although on Whom we put our faith in is as much the issue as having faith to begin with. Anyone can put their faith in things which they see, gods made with hands, men and whatnot but Yeshua exhorts us to have faith in Elohim. For there is no other Who can save us when we call except Him Who sits in the heavens and in us. Therefore no amount of exertion through tried means or human logic will get us anywhere in Messiah but only but the leading of the Spirit which cones through faith as well. We began this Christian walk in faith believing that Yeshua truly died for us that through and in Him we might have eternal life, so it is by faith that we continue. It is utter foolishness to believe that the end of the spiritual walk reaps physical means. Paul rebuked the church of Galatia: "Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?" Elohim is not mocked, what we sow to the flesh traps the end of flesh, the perfection of destruction in our bodies. But what we sow in the Spirit reaps perfection through the sanctification of the Word.
