Running the Race

It's technically past the 2nd day already of fasting and prayer if you are following the hours. There's less than 20 hours left before we break fast but I'm quite amazed that once again Yahweh has brought me this far already. The previous two days flew by like a breeze but they were by no means easy. I did not prepare myself fully when partaking of this fast and so I am just bearing the brunt of it. However I thank Yahweh that in His grace and mercy He once again had brought me thus far. Having prepared myself somewhat today I was able to receive what Yahweh had in store for me and what's more what I had desired to accomplish I have done so and thus there is peace although my stomach is rumbling. Praise Yahweh that in all things even in fasting He leads me through victory in Messiah Yeshua. He caused me to walk in strength so much so that should I desire to sleep I can but I will be aware of what is still transpiring around me. This has been going on for a while now and because of it I've been accused of sleeping more than I should.

Oh well, it doesn't really matter anyways about all this. We each have our own battles to wage against the enemy so there really is no time to look at one another like this. But strangely even though we are under continuous bombardment by the enemy, satan; I am strangely free. I mean sure there are times when I myself must wage war against the mind and its wandering thoughts and passions but what I've discovered is that what we give our attention to grows all the more. I found that the more I paid attention to the faults in my carnal nature, the more it grows and becomes all the more dominating over me. But even if I have the urges and desire to stray away for a bit to fulfill my lusts and passions, I found this secret: who cares? So what if it is there? So what if I have such thoughts, I too have the authority to reject it and pull it down to the ground. It's like there is a sign at the side of the road that you see as you travel down. "Free ice cream". But you don't want ice cream so you just pass by it. That's exactly how Yahweh has revealed to me to deal with sin. It's there because as long as we are in this tent we are susceptible to the sins which is around and even in the tent. But we have no obligation to always pay attention to it, nor to obey it because now we have a new Master.

[Rom 6:17-18] But יהוה be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you. Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.

If temptation should come and should it overwhelm, it doesn't matter. There's no need to grovel and cry about split milk. Just get up and continue your race. Because you will find no runner in no such race that when he falls down cries and bemoans his uselessness. He gets up and continues the race because he desires the prize. Likewise we as well. Just get up.

With All Haste

We have once again begun to fast and pray for 3 days. It felt like ages since we last had our corporate fast together and so I welcome it no longer as a burden but a pleasure because I see and know and have experienced the changes in one's life fasting and praying can do. It shifts the spiritual realm greatly through it, strongholds come down and the will of Elohim goes forth and is fulfilled. The transforming glory of Yahweh comes upon His people as they wait for Him and thus lives are changed; no longer serving self or the flesh but rather serving Elohim through and by the Holy Spirit given to us. With every fasting and prayer I see that we are moving step by step deeper and deeper into Yeshua Himself and thus losing ourselves more so that we may become in every way, in manner and word and works and walk of life; like Him.

In this fast as Pastor Jean has proclaimed we intend to see the principality of Asclepius torn down and destroyed once and for all and that true healing return unto the body of Messiah. We also fast because after this trip to the convocation there is this deep stirring that things will begin to change and move in such a way as never been seen or thought of before. There is this sense of needing to prepare ourselves to move quickly according to the will of Elohim because now, in my own eyes; Yahweh is bringing Romans 9:28 to pass:

[Rom 9:28] For He will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will יהוה make upon the earth.

From this point on only those who will be led and are willing to be led by the Spirit no matter where He may take to whomever and whenever He may wish, will make it. The time for relying on the arm of flesh has officially passed with this and now only the sons of Elohim are called who will hear the voice of the Heavenly Father and do all that is in His will. I see the way getting narrower and narrower but that is not a bad thing. More than that it really excites me that now Yahweh's work is becoming all the more clear and evident and that the life of Yeshua is becoming even more manifest. So for me this fasting is one where I desire to leave all unto the Holy Spirit to work in me, both to will and to do for His good pleasure because now only He can do the work. What comes next will be extremely daunting for those still relying on their own strength or comprehension to see it through. This world's strength and logic must fly out the window because when Yahweh does something it defies common sense. That is a miracle. A miracle is something with which we can never wrap our heads around because it simply cannot be and yet is. And what's more we are called to live a miraculous life everyday. So everything we had learnt from this world must be discarded in favor of seeing the hand of Yahweh leading and guiding us step by step into His will and His will alone.

[Hab 1:5] Behold ye among the heathen, and regard, and wonder marvellously: for I will work a work in your days, which ye will not believe, though it be told you.

Let it be according to Your Word, o Elohim my Elohim.
