November and more - Gifts to Men

It's amazing and yet the same time mind boggling that for me it has already been over a year since I had given up my life to come and serve Yahweh here in Glory Place, Mantin in September last year. By the grace of Elohim, I have seen and heard and experienced many things. Things which I had not even dreamed nor expected to come upon me and yet they do and much more than that. It is in these times that I am reminded how true the Word of Elohim says that whatsoever Yahweh gives unto His people He adds no sorrow therewith.

[Pro 10:22] The blessing of יהוה, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.

The blessings is not limited to earthly means though it is one of them, every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Messiah and every good and perfect gift that comes from above have I the right to partake and give in the same measure it's been given me. Yet in all this thing the Holy Spirit has shown me one thing: it's not about the gifts no matter how magnificent they are, it's about the Giver of the gifts. Every gift given is actually meant to not only bless the receiver but to also serve as a remembrance from whom he received it from. A gift is supposed to cause one's eyes whenever he enjoys the gift to look to the giver and bless him for it. Much more now our Heavenly Father who ever so desires to gift us everything pertaining to everlasting life through Messiah Yeshua.

[Eph 4:7-8] But unto every one of us is given favour according to the measure of the gift of the Messiah. Wherefore he saith, When He ascended up on high, He led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.

All that we have and all that we enjoy and possess is from Yahweh through Yeshua unto us. Everything points to Him and needless to say our lives ought to point others to Him as well. We have the free gift of not just salvation by Yeshua but eternal life through Yeshua as well.

[Eph 2:8] For by favour are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of יהוה:

[Rom 6:23] For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of יהוה is eternal life through Yeshua the Messiah our Saviour.

It's times like these I look back as to what the Holy Spirit has brought me through and I am so grateful and amazed at the work He has wrought in my life. True, there are times when I go through a roller-coaster of a journey but everyday I hold the conviction that it is always one step forward, one step upward. No matter how tipsy the day may be it will always be another step forward and upward for me. I remember reading that Smith Wigglesworth once said that if there is no progress we have already backslided. At the beginning I had always wondered how that could be so? Not everyone could experience the life he was enjoying in Yeshua but then the Holy Spirit gave me the revelation. We can. Through Him. No matter what circumstance I may be in, no matter the issue that crops up that challenges my stand or my take on all this; it is clear that if I put my trust in Yeshua Messiah I shall never be put to shame. I shall be yet brought nearer to Him in intimacy and in likeness so that when He returns I should be like Him.

[I really should put the verses in but they are exceptionally long and a bit ancient in their English to fully grasp hold of their meanings. I'll just leave the references here instead. Praise Yahweh.]

Luke 21:19

A new season of Yahweh is here once again and this time it brings development. I am happy? Am I? I'm not really sure what to call the feelings churning within me but without a shadow of doubt I know that this is none other but the working of the Holy Spirit in my life. Things are beginning to take root and now is the time more than anything else that I center my focus upon Yeshua Messiah and not on my circumstances no matter how beneficial or blessed they are. All such things are secondary and right now I believe that this is the season where a deeper intimacy with Yeshua is going to spring forth from it all.

Everything around me is developing, albeit at a pace that I did not expect it to. And soon enough the time will come where it must and will bear much fruit and then it will be a time of great joy. However now is the time to wait, I must wait. There really can be no other option simply because I have no other choice but to wait now. If I were to interfere with the flow of the Holy Spirit now I believe that things will fall apart but as I wait I see the Holy Spirit working mightily and so awesomely in my life. His hand is ever so evident and I am blessed to be able to enter into intimacy with Yeshua Messiah. Only sometimes, the issue of impatience and wanting to have our inheritance now when it has not yet reached it culmination; tend to crop up every now and then. But this is but a test. A test that I must and will pass by the grace of Elohim given unto me by the Messiah.

This season is something special. This season holds much promise and much fulfillment in it. However far-fetched it may seem to others and sometimes even to myself, I am fully convinced of the vision He has given me and I will see it to its beautiful end. I desire to lay hold of the things which Messiah Yeshua has laid hold of me. Life, superabundant life. The life not as a prodigal nor as a servant but as a son of Elohim, partakers of Yeshua's divine inheritance and every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places. Now is not the time to be impatient to see the will of Elohim accomplished, not when we have come so far. Now is the time that by patience I possess my soul, to its very end. Praise Yahweh!

Yes or No?

You know, we go for Chatime so often now that it really loses its originality to me. It feels like I want Chatime but I know what already awaits me if I were to push myself just a bit further:

[Pro 25:16] Hast thou found honey? eat so much as is sufficient for thee, lest thou be filled therewith, and vomit it.

Yahweh has blessed me with so much honey. So much so that everywhere I turn there will always be something that I can just refresh myself with just like how Jonathan stretched out his staff and was refreshed by the honey. Though ignorant of the oath made by his father King Saul, he nonetheless was refreshed and was able to continue to take up arms against the Philistines.

[1Sa 14:27] But Jonathan heard not when his father charged the people with the oath: wherefore he put forth the end of the rod that was in his hand, and dipped it in an honeycomb, and put his hand to his mouth; and his eyes were enlightened.

[1Sa 14:30] How much more, if haply the people had eaten freely to day of the spoil of their enemies which they found? for had there not been now a much greater slaughter among the Philistines?

Honey is good for the soul. I speak in figure of speech. I'm talking about the blessings that Elohim daily load is with. It is in our right as sons of Elohim that we take all that the Father has for us but it is in the mind of wisdom that we sometimes discern when to take what and where. It is needful for a son to receive what his father gives him, but it is a wise son to be able to say 'no' in the proper situations.

That is not to say that we should despise what Yeshua has blessed us with through His death on the cross. He died to bring us into the very presence of the Heavenly Father; no longer to shy away but to come boldly before Him through the blood of Messiah. He died to give us all but it is in wisdom that we realise that not all is of the will of Elohim.

[1Co 10:23] All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.

A long while back I had an acquaintance who asked me what exactly does it mean when Yahweh says that He gives us dark treasures of the earth. And to me it is exactly as it sounds. The treasures of this earth amount to nothing more than darkness that invites sin and temptation to enter but still Yahweh gives us such for our use. How can this be?! Every good and perfect gift comes from the Father of lights and yet He would still give us treasures of darkness together with it?

[Isa 45:3] And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, יהוה, which call thee by thy name, am the Elohim of Israel.

In this context Elohim talks to King Cyrus and promises to give him the secret treasures of the earth which man has not known that he may know there is no power on earth that rules without Heaven's permission and authority. And yet it also applies to us I believe. He has put all things into subjection in Messiah Yeshua but now we do not see all things put under. But the fact of the matter is all things have been subdued and thus under our power as the body of Messiah. We have access to the storehouses of Heaven and the deep treasures of the earth but it is in the heart of a wise son to be able to choose and discern between holy and unholy. Not everything the Heavenly Father permits is what He desires of us. He permits all because all have been cleansed by the blood of His Son but not everything will bring us nearer into intimacy with Him.

I began with Chatime, just how did I come here. I was just trying to say that it is in our best interest that we learn to say 'no' and not just 'yes' in every situation because not everything situation demands that a 'yes' be supplied to resolve it. The blessings of Yahweh add no sorrow therewith but too much of something sweet in the body leaves one nauseated. Again not to say that we should refuse the blessings of Elohim with which He freely gives us through Yeshua Messiah but simply to know that He looks deeper than that. Just like king Hezekiah's case. The Babylonians were in all respect concerned about his welfare and thus looks like a blessing and favour of Elohim upon him. But:

[2Ch 32:31] Howbeit in the business of the ambassadors of the princes of Babylon, who sent unto him to inquire of the wonder that was done in the land, Elohim left him, to try him, that he might know all that was in his heart.

The Holy Spirit is here to teach us when to speak the right word in the right time. We need not think so much about this but rather to just remember that in our walk with Elohim, we will find that a 'no' will be sometimes sweeter than a 'yes'. Hopefully you understand dear reader.

Judgment and Discernment

Judging. Well, in some ways it is wrong but for me my conviction is that without judgment there can be no progression. Because with judgment comes correction and correction brings a straightening of direction and thus progression in our walk with Yahweh. Many oftentimes quote what Yeshua said in the Gospel of Matthew:

[Mat 7:1-3] Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

But oftentimes they forget when Yeshua continued to expound a bit more on judgment in the Gospel of John:

[Joh 7:24] Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.

I believe that that just sums up what Yeshua meant when He said to judge not and yet to judge righteously. There is no contradiction but rather this is what has been revealed to me by the Holy Spirit. Oftentimes we judge others on their outlook on life, their outward apparel, and not the life they live behind closed doors. The Lord Yeshua has called us to judge or if in another word to discern between good and evil, the holy and the unholy. Because another office of a king is not just to rule and reign but also to execute righteous judgment where it is due. What appears on the outside may not be what lurks on the inside. If we simply judge based on our outward guise then we would incur much errors and perhaps even sin. But to me it is a greater sin that we do not judge at all. Because then how will we know what is from Elohim and what is of the enemy if we do not exercise judgment and discernment. True, everything comes from and with the permission of Yahweh and nothing can touch us unless it is by the hand of Elohim allowing it so. But not everything that He allows is beneficial to us. Things come our way that He may test us as to whether we would walk in His ways or no.

[Deu 8:2] And thou shalt remember all the way which יהוה thy Elohim led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to prove thee, to know what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep His commandments, or no.

So we need righteous judgment or righteous discernment to be able to continue on with our walk with the Lord Yeshua Messiah. The conviction I hold is that in these last days we cannot progress even a step further without the working and guidance of the Holy Spirit leading us. Now I believe that without discernment there can be no progressive revelation of Messiah. For only those who are able to judge and discern righteously are liable to eat the meat found in the Bible. Milk belongs to those who have yet to exercise their senses to be able to discern between what is of Yahweh and what is not.

[Heb 5:13-14] For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

In fact I found that in both offices that Yeshua Messiah had redeemed us into: as kings and priests both require discernment and judgment to be administered to. As kings we not only rule and reign but also execute righteous judgment where judgment is due. And as priests we have need to be able to discern between holy and unholy.

[Lev 10:10] And that ye may put difference between holy and unholy, and between unclean and clean;

[Psa 72:1-2] Give the king thy judgments, O Elohim, and thy righteousness unto the king's son. He shall judge thy people with righteousness, and thy poor with judgment.

Solomon judged righteously. In the case of the two harlots and their child if we were to go with what seemed natural then the child would belong to her who replaced her dead child with the other's. Simply because the child was in the care of the former harlot in the eyes of the people. But Solomon saw further because he had the wisdom of Yahweh upon him.
The gift of discernment was upon him and it allowed him to execute judgment righteously. How much more us now that we have in our lives and our being Someone Who is greater than Solomon in the aspect of wisdom? Yeshua Messiah is the wisdom of Elohim and the power of Elohim manifested and it would be a shame if we did not use said wisdom to be able to discern in these last times.

[Mat 12:42] The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.

[1Co 1:24] But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, the Messiah is the power of יהוה, and the wisdom of יהוה.

Judging one another is needed. More so for me. If we keep laying on ourselves all these sweet words our pride will go unchecked. Judgment serves to correct the wrong in one's life but without judgment you allow yourself to grow as you please. Like a plant that has no support growing up will eventually reach a point in time where it can no longer bend how it ought to. For me, to not judge is to not use the Elohim given wisdom that He has blessed us with to discern between good and evil. And one day, if this keeps up; this 'no judging' debacle, we will find Yahweh taking back the wisdom He gave us with the intent we use it fully.

[Pro 1:20-33] Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets: She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she uttereth her words, saying, How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge? Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you. Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded; But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof: I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh; When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you. Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me: For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of יהוה: They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof. Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices. For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them. But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.

Living Quarters

A new season of Yahweh is here yet again and we begin with quite the opener. Due to a tree looming just behind Hiding Place that looks like it might just tip over at any given moment, we have been relocated to the Boys' Dorm. All 5 of us will be moving in with Anderias, Ishak, and Daniel Chai together not in the same room, but in the same location. Perched on a smaller hill than the Hiding Place, it is much more wider and is slightly a longer journey to the sanctuary than it previously was. But there's no need for us to complain. You know, when our leaders told us that we would be leaving behind our air conditioned and well kept house on a hill for a dormitory just beside the expansive forest there were many, many feeble Hallelujahs going around. I think I was the only one genuinely excited about staying at the Boys' Dorm at that moment. But once we moved in and settled down somewhat the other boys quickly came to terms with it and began to make the most out of this whole turnabout.

That's how it ought to be. As sons of Elohim we eat what is served on our platter and leave no morsel unfinished. Even if it's bitter or somewhat under cooked we finish it because it is not only expected of us but we know that dessert will always be wonderful in the end. This is a figure of speech by the way.

[Phi 4:11] Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.

[1Th 5:18] In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of יהוה in the Messiah Yeshua concerning you.

[Rom 8:18] For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

Not that something as trivial as this could be counted as suffering but what I'm trying to do is to show that there's no need for us to pull a horse face. We are blessed to be able to move to the Boys' Dorm because we know that wheresoever we go we will be a blessing to those around us. We shall see the Boys' Dorm changing bit by bit, little by little and soon enough it will become yet another Hiding Place for us boys. In truth, it is much more than I had expected. I find myself liking that place. Then again I have had worse accommodations before so there really is no use to murmur or grumble. A bed, some food, a roof over our heads is more than enough to make someone like me real content. After all:

[1Ti 6:6] But reverence with contentment is great gain.

[1Ti 6:8] And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.

It's good for us to dwell together. It's even better for us to dwell together in unity. And surely with this move that is exactly what I shall see happen in the name of Yeshua. This is truly the beginning of something awesome that the Holy Spirit shall accomplish in and through all the boys. Praise Yahweh!

[Psa 133] Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments; As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there יהוה commanded the blessing, even life for evermore.

1st Service Celebrations

I am excited. I really am. This is a new season and thus yet another hallmark in our journey with Yeshua Messiah. With each passing day we draw nearer and nearer to His soon return where those whom He has called by name and known shall be caught up together with Him in the clouds to meet. With each passing day revival becomes more and more evident within the body of Messiah and once more the sound of the harp is going forth to all the nations of the earth just as it was in the time of King David. The Tabernacle of David is being raised up but more than that now in this present era of the Holy Spirit heaven has come down to earth. And it brings the kingdom of Elohim together with it in all its splendour and majesty.

Today's first service was exceptionally exceptional. I was really edified but more so I was deeply elated to know that the Holy Spirit is working in the lives of the young people to bring them back to intimacy with Yeshua rather than to busy oneself with works meant for the Spirit and to be done by the Spirit of Elohim solely. Valerie and Caleb shared what Yahweh had been teaching and showing them and kudos to Valerie but I want to talk about Caleb in this present moment. Just thinking back to what he shared makes me grin from ear to ear. Surely what the Holy Spirit has revealed to me He too is revealing to others as well.

In Myanmar Caleb encountered Elohim and what he learned from that is that we are not meant to busy ourselves with the Heavenly Father's business and yet forgetting that good part meant for us: to sit at the feet of Yeshua and to hear and learn from Him. Intimacy by being still and just to know that He is Elohim is what Caleb was emphasizing and that was what was revealed to Him. He found that as he just stopped being busy minded about the situation and problems arising around him, then the Holy Spirit just took over and showed Caleb things he had never seen and known before. Back then he had trouble just connecting with Yahweh by the Spirit but now as he just still himself he found he was able to simply connect anywhere and everywhere he goes and whatsoever he does. He found the world speaking to him of Yeshua and he found revelation upon revelation to be heaped up to him such as he has never known before.

Hallelujah! You know as he was sharing all this I just found myself leaping for joy within my heart. I did not outright leap for joy but such a joy of Yahweh came upon me that now He has shown yet another one of my brothers that all Yahweh wants is just sons. He does not require able bodied people, musically talented stars, charismatic leaders or the like. All He wants are sons and that was what Yeshua died to bring us into. Not into fame or fortune or recognition but into sonship by faith in Him to Yahweh. Sons who just listen and obey and then will see the wondrousness of the Heavenly Father. To Caleb it was as though he had entered into a new realm that he had never known before and I am absolutely happy for him. Thinking about it now just makes me absolutely grateful to Yahweh that not only did He reveal the same to me about all this but now He is bringing His people once again to see that it is not about ministry, it's about ministering first. I am privileged to be able to witness firsthand the lives of the young people moving from glory to glory and grace to grace by the Spirit of Elohim in every first service. The night watches are my favourite and the first service is no exception. I wonder why no one wants to join? They could have been so blessed and yet...

Psalm 116:7

Life is going really well for me at this moment in time. Everything is just fitting together snuggly and I praise Yahweh that He has shown me His outstretched arm in the full course of my days in Glory Place. Everyday speaks to me in a way I had never realized before and I am amazed that the Holy Spirit had done such a marvellous work within me.

[Psa 118:23] This is יהוה's doing; it is marvellous in our eyes.

I am at peace and have found peace with the people around me and the things surrounding me. Though sometimes we may have our highs and lows, I find such a prevalent peace that comes upon me day after day assuring me that all things shall work together for good to them that love Elohim. I find that now it becomes an utmost pleasure of mine to wait upon Yahweh for many occasions. Back then I had never understood what waiting for Elohim meant and took it for granted. I had always thought it meant rest which it is but to me it meant physical rest of the body. Back then my body would find all the rest it needed but my soul was still in deep distress. But now I have found the true rest in Messiah Yeshua.

[Mat 11:28] Come unto Me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

His rest is absolutely perfect and truly by the grace of Yahweh I can experience it day in and day out. His rest encompasses me about and I find it's not just my body but my entire spirit, soul, and body enter such a restful state where I just cease from trying and just be while the Holy Spirit works unhindered. Today auntie Deborah asked us during the Friday house church what exactly does 'waiting upon Yahweh' mean to each of us? For me the first thought was always rest. Well, actually another thought came straight before that but I believe that now is not the time to reveal that yet. Perhaps the day will come soon, who knows...

I desire rest and that; by the grace of Elohim is what I have received in Yeshua by the Spirit. A perfect rest that not only refreshes me completely but resolves every situation and issue in and about and all round me. I'm not all too sure how this came to be. All I remember is that I had once asked Yeshua in His name that He give me rest all around and that I may just be free in Him to continue resting. Soon enough, as I just continued on with my walk with Elohim I found that it came; not at once but gradually I found myself slipping and sliding deeper and deeper into the presence of Elohim. All it took on my part was just to continue in the way He has shown me and that required perseverance and longsuffering. It didn't come right away but little by little and He has taught me not to strain after His presence but that I should just wait for Him because for thousands of years Elohim has waited for me to return to Him. And I found that as I relaxed in His presence the Holy Spirit came so effortlessly and there I was, lost in eternity. I could just keep raising my hands in the stillness of the night! Praise Yahweh but now it's getting a bit late. Time to turn in.

[Psa 116:7] Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for יהוה hath dealt bountifully with thee.

Liberality

It's not that I don't have time. I have time aplenty given to me by Elohim, it's only I seldom use it on meaningful excursions. Normally I'd spend most of it just resting up in the Hiding Place. It's only when there's a little bit of time longer that I then use it for other more meaningful things. Thus I let my responsibilities pile up most of the times but thankfully just one or two full hours is enough to not only clear it but to do so in such an exceptional manner.

I praise Yahweh that He has blessed me with what I had so earnestly desired: rest and liberty. I remember back in my Primary Six graduation ceremony that moment when I had received my certificate and looked at what the inscription said. For each student there is a different inscription; diligence, steadfastness, responsible, etc. But I got something that I didn't quite understood at that time: liberality. I had absolutely no clue what that meant so years later I looked it up.

Liberality - 1) The quality of not being opposed to ideas or ways of behaving that are not traditional or widely accepted.

2) The quality of being generous

How true it is now! Praise Yahweh for that. Even back then I was always the odd one out, doing things that people are not too inclined to do. I'd skipped class just to go to the library or the computer room to hangout and sleep there. I was like in my own little world back then and looking back I really thank Yahweh that He has brought me out of my world and into His. And how wonderful it is to be His son and He my Heavenly Father.

I grew up into a family that desired that I bear much fruit through much toil and for me toiling was something that I was not all that keen upon. Only if it was something I found enjoyable that I would give it my all but that was on rare occasions. But now that He has given me His rest and has set me free from my past chains and links I find that I enjoy all things, even those which require effort on my part to put out. What a joy and rest that comes upon me that it is as though I had done nothing and yet the work is accomplished. There was no strenuous activity on my part but rather a yielding to a higher Power that works in me both to will and to do for Elohim's good pleasure.

So in all points I am free, so free that sometimes my liberty puts a stumbling block onto the paths of others. But I don't really care because I've been set free. No longer do I do, I just be a son of Elohim and Yahweh is my Father. We were never called to do anything for Him but rather to just be there when He does something in and through us. He wants us to avail ourselves to His working in us and yield to it so that it may reach maturity. You can't try to be a son of your father, you just are. Whether you're good or you're bad in the eyes of the people around you, you are still your father's boy. How much more our Heavenly Father Who sees not us but His Son, Yeshua Messiah in us?

I see many people working out their salvation with fear and trembling which is a good thing but I found that the fear they exhibit is not of Elohim. Their fear brings with them torments, reminding them of their sins and condemning and accusing them for it. When Yahweh called us to fear Him I believe it is not the fear this world knows of, of horror and stark terror; but rather the sort of parental fear and respect that you'd show your parents. To fear Him not as a taskmaster but as a Father. No father oppresses his sons but a father chastises them when needed not because they deserve it even if they do but for their betterment and because he loves them. How much more our Heavenly Father? This revelation Yahweh has so graciously given me: we stand upon the Rock, Yeshua Messiah. We are safe but sometimes there is a need to check our footing lest we fall off the Rock. Waves will come to push us off but that I believe is what working out our salvation is all about. Not being fearful of whether we will make it or no, but rather just like Paul:

[2Ti 1:12b] for I know Whom I have believed, and am persuaded that He is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.

Do we know that Yeshua Messiah is in us? Are we confident of Who we have believed in and that He is able to keep us? Have faith in Elohim but continue to check your footings.

[1Co 10:12] Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.

I see clearly the world around me talking to me, telling me of the mighty works Messiah has accomplished on the cross. Everything speaks of Yeshua to me.

[Rom 1:19-20] Because that which may be known of יהוה is manifest in them; for יהוה hath shewed it unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and supernal nature; so that they are without excuse:

[Psa 19:1] The heavens declare the glory of Elohim; and the firmament sheweth His handywork.

[Act 14:17] Nevertheless He left not himself without witness, in that He did good, and gave us rain from heaven, and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.

This can keep going on and on and on but I think I might have to continue this some other occasion, Elohim willing. I'm quite tired. All I want to say is, now the world speaks to me the Word of Elohim. It speaks of the wonders Yeshua has accomplished and the blessings He died to give someone like me with. Though the world is filled with corruption it is still Yahweh's world. Just what does it speak unto you reader?

October and more - Blessedness

October has past and now we usher in November. The past month has been pivotal to me in many occasions, particularly concerning the will of Elohim pertaining to me. I found that it was in this month that Yahweh really brought everything together and wrapped it up nicely with a big ribbon. Now we enter into a new season with new things to look forward to and greater things to see through till the end. The will of Elohim concerning worship is now no longer just a purpose but a fulfillment. The Heavenly Father's heart has not just been touched but manifested through the harp worship unto the nations and now we look forward to the next part to accomplish as His sons. After all, a son does what his father tells him to do not because it is his own selfish desire but it is for the betterment of his son. What a father desires is for his son to inherit all that he has and much more. How much more so our Heavenly Father?

Things will begin to surface now I believe in this month of November. Surface within our lives, surface within our church, surface within our nation. And whatsoever that surfaces will be shaken thoroughly by Yahweh. I believe that this month we will see a preparation by Elohim Himself for His people for what is to come in the near future. It does not matter whether it is good or bad because according to the Word of Elohim all that He has for us is good. We only see good and evil simply because our first parents disobeyed and ate the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Had they instead partook of the tree of life they would have seen life manifest but now we see with our own ideas of what is good and evil. If it benefits, it's good; if it hurts even for our good, it's evil. Is not this in itself evil because we have such dishonest scales and weighs in our lives?

I truly thank Yeshua for the month of October. I am simply astounded by what has transpired in that month and even more amazing is that things would not have turned out so beautifully had I taken control of the decisions. Only Yahweh makes all things beautiful in their due seasons. And I am blessed to have His Holy Spirit living within me to teach me His ways and lead me in His way everlasting. But I know that everyday will only get better. Inasmuch as today or even yesterday was wonderful the next day will be even more glorious. Because it simply says in the Word of Elohim that the glory of the latter house shall be greater than the former. I also believe that this applies to our everyday life. I live in expectancy that what the Holy Spirit had accomplished today He will do something much more awesome the next day. I have learnt that of all the good and perfect gifts that I had received everyday, each of them will pale in comparison to what is to come in the following day. So really there's nothing for us to settle ourselves in, even though the past was good and all. What comes next will be absolutely marvellous in our eyes and this will certainly be Yahweh's doing.

[Hag 2:9] The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, saith יהוה of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, saith יהוה of hosts.

[Job 8:7] Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should greatly increase.

[Psa 118:23] This is יהוה's doing; it is marvellous in our eyes.
