Not Being Weak

It's always times when Yahweh rocks my boat that I always find solace and comfort in His Word because His Word tells me exactly what needs to be done and then is confirmed soon after. This is truly an exciting season to put my trust in Yahweh Elohim for all things. Knowing soon that many things will be shifting and taking place unlike that which has since happened. And now I find that the more we approach the final days before Yeshua returns I find that there is a lack in the competence of myself and that is a good thing. Not in the sense that I can't do many things because now in my youth I can because Elohim has thus empowered me by His Spirit but simply I have come to understand I simply stand because He causes me to stand. It's not in me who runs nor works but simply because of Him Who shows me mercy and His favour.

And so, I'm coming to this point in time where I can only see Yeshua as the only answer to everything. I've got a lack? Yeshua. I'm injured or in pain? Yeshua. I need or desire anything? Yeshua. I've a problem that I need to discuss with? Yeshua. Yeshua, Yeshua, everything Yeshua and because it's Yeshua everything really is resolved. I see the miraculous because I put my trust in the Most High. And doubtless it shall be the same for any and all situations. I thus strengthen myself in the Lord Yeshua Messiah. And surely I shall see His glory when His promise comes tried and true to me, not just for one single situation but for all of it.

Why am I writing this? Perhaps now is the time to remember the greatness of the Elohim Whom I serve and worship. And surely now I am reminded. Sometimes when we pray we bend down and thus our views become filled with the things beneath our concerns. Rarely do we look up and see the things that Elohim has prepared for them that love Him. And such bountiful things they are. Yes, this is truly the time where instead of faith dwindling but like Abraham; faith shall be strengthened in the season of waiting and more so. Praise Yahweh for His Word once more, it truly brings clarity to many and all situations.

Plumb Line

I realise this now that the enemy is targeting the young people. Well, they're always targeting them but such times and seasons as these it looks as though they are focusing more so upon them now. And perhaps the greatest way that they can influence and make a stumbling block in their walks with Messiah is through their flesh and their emotions. By flesh of course I mean the carnal natures and desires of the body and soul. The want to sleep, the want to eat, the want of things pleasureable, and even the need for company have produced quite a troubled generation. Even I am not excluded from this warfare and yet everyday I am reminded it is not I who lives because if I were indeed alive I would need all these but now Messiah lives in me. Through Him, I live and move and have my being and am abundantly satisfied of and from all things.

I have been observing the young people of the ministry for the past few days and I've noticed that more so now that everyone is becoming very loose or very taut, nearing the point to snap. Something is definitely broiling in the young peoples and soon enough should they continue walking in the light it will come exposed one way or another. By young people I of course more so refer to those younger than me. It's the things that they have yet to learn to surrender, the self will and the wants and desires of the carnal flesh. They're all beginning to reach the point in time where it's either they begin to bear fruit in maturity or begin to waste away in immaturity. What I mean of course is that they've reached that age where everything looks as though revolves around them. Where the world is themselves. I should know because I've been through such a time as that where I used to think I know so much but now I stand only because I believe in the Elohim of my salvation.

[Rom 11:20] Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:

[2Co 1:24b] ... for by faith ye stand.

Yahweh has graciously given to me my heart's desire which is to be moulded and made into His same image and likeness and I find that such mouldings can only take place under times of extreme heat and chilling. He has brought me through many a humblings from His own hand, whether by situations or by people; it was Him and to Him be the glory. I've begun to live the abundant life that Pastor Jean has talked about for so long and now the same invitation is as I can see it extended to the young people. Except they can't see that with the abundance of riches and blessing in Messiah follows tribulation which is also a portion of the blessing Yeshua Himself described to those who followed Him.

[Mar 10:29-31] And Yeshua answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for My sake, and the gospel's, But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life. But many that are first shall be last; and the last first.

What was written is surely coming to pass in our day and age. And it is a great privilege to be able to bear witness to the fulfilment of every promise of Elohim through Messiah Yeshua. And yet, now the young people and I too could say the older generations alike stand at a threshold so high that human means have no way nor point of entry beyond that. It's only those who truly understand how to cease from their own works, to truly die and allow Messiah to reign in their mortal bodies that they will begin to see the wonders and sovereignty of Yahweh. It has at last come this and I find that many will be left in lack because of the strong foothold of the enemy. I am not excluded even from such an examination by the Holy Spirit but yet I thank Elohim that He is still yet sifting me as wheat and His promise is that not one good grain shall fall to the ground. Such is for all of us, time to press in deeper so that the fragrance of Messiah may be pressed forth from us.

[Amo 9:9] For, lo, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all nations, like as corn is sifted in a sieve, yet shall not the least grain fall upon the earth.

[2Co 2:14-16] Now thanks be unto Elohim, which always causeth us to triumph in Messiah, and maketh manifest the savour of His knowledge by us in every place. For we are unto Elohim a sweet savour of Messiah, in them that are saved, and in them that perish: To the one we are the savour of death unto death; and to the other the savour of life unto life. And who is sufficient for these things?

Goodness of Him

There really isn't much to write or rather there isn't much that I'm able to write down. There's so much that the Holy Spirit has made me understand but I'm finding difficulty translating it to English and to put it down to paper. I can perfectly understand what Elohim is speaking and revealing to me but I find so much difficulty in writing it all down not because I don't want to but simply because I find that my vocabulary is not sufficient to capture the majesty of Yeshua Messiah and His workings in my life currently. That doesn't mean I don't try though, it's just met with mixed reviews.

How awesome and how wonderful it is to serve Yahweh, truly it is a privilege and a high honour even extended unto me and my family that we can serve the living Elohim. And even now as I am preparing myself for the 1st English service every Saturday 11.30pm until 3am the next morning, I'm just sitting here enjoying such a presence of Yahweh here. It's just less than 10 persons at the moment but it will increase in time and yet as I hear the people taking slot worshipping on the harp, there's such a satisfaction that I'm experiencing right now. So much so that I know that it is the greatest call of all to serve the living Elohim. I'm just sitting here listening to the harp and there's such a satisfaction of life I'm experiencing. I have no wants, my desires are met not by man which is limited but by Elohim Who is truly unlimited and unimaginable in His goodness towards His sons and daughters.

This is the season where the enemy comes in like a flood but yet more so for me I see this as the season of the goodness of Yahweh. In fact, every season is the season of the goodness of Yahweh. To those who know, now really is the acceptable time and the day of salvation. The enemy is once again going forth to cause havoc amongst the sons of Elohim but should we focus all the more upon Yeshua, should we look up then we will see that the enemy is small matter to even pay attention to.

By the grace of Elohim I'm living a life of the supernatural. Everyday there are miracles so much so that the extraordinary have become ordinary, everyday affairs to me. Whatsoever Pastor Jean has spoken concerning the authority and power given to us the sons of Elohim by Yeshua the Son of Elohim I have seen proven right and true simply because the Word says so, I believe and it is done. How simple and yet having experienced this for a while now I realise that though we may live a life of miracles, signs and wonders it does not necessarily mean that we live in right standing with Yahweh automatically because of it. Having experienced the power of His kingdom, I realise that just because we have the power it does not mean we are made right before Elohim. I'm not sure how to explain this but perhaps this might...

[Mat 7:21-23] Not every one that saith unto Me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of My Father which is in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Thy name? and in Thy name have cast out devils? and in Thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from Me, ye that work iniquity.

I ponder sometimes our walk with Messiah and in Messiah and I find that our walk is tightrope thin. It's a very fine balance from not falling headlong into one extreme or the other, both of which leads us astray. A fine balance of the knowledge of the Word of Elohim, and the fervency and inspiration given by the Holy Spirit. Too much of one or the other makes a man imbalanced and impoverished. And so I find sometimes that that balance can equate for many things and doctrines. Revelations and understandings, signs and wonders, being led by the Spirit, the list goes on. But everything is a very fine balance, very very fine. It's good and all that I experience miracles because the Bible says we will and therefore we will and have been experiencing.

But there is a threshold to it in the sense that by moving so much in miracles we tend to equate that to right standing with Yeshua when it doesn't. When we don't see miracles we tend to lose heart and the knees become feeble and weak. I'm not really sure why I've come to this but I believe that the goodness of Yahweh is not just in the abundance that we have, it is also the lack of it that the goodness of Yahweh is also exemplified. Anyone can walk with Elohim and see His goodness and glory in the sunny days but come the time for storms, thunder and lightning hand in hand we can hardly see anything anymore save the storm right before us. But it's when we're in the storm that perfection is attainable in Messiah. Anyone can be good when times are good but when times are lacking can we still declare the goodness and favour and love of Messiah in us? Christianity is the road to death before we attain abundant life. Before the resurrection life is first a painful death.

It's time to ponder upon the goodness of Messiah Yeshua once more.

What is next?

The seasons are changing once more and in this time I find that the season calls for meditation and pondering of the goodness of Yahweh Elohim. Many things are taking place, some pleasant and some surprising but nonetheless such is to be expected. In fact, because of the Holy Spirit revealing things which indeed shall shortly take place after this, I find that now I'm rarely taken by surprise. However, that is not to say that I can't be surprised still.

Anyways, going back to the topic at hand; I find that in this month of March I have been called to the depths of pondering the Word of Elohim and to meditate on the goodness of Messiah in my life. To know for certain that this is indeed the road that I ought to walk and no one can say otherwise. I really praise Yahweh that I can serve Him. Looking back now, there isn't anything I would have changed because if I did I would not be here in the moment. On my day off, just on my bed writing this whilst remembering how wonderful Elohim was to me just yesterday and growing in deep expectancy of yet greater things to come.
I don't think for this month that I'll be writing as frequent as I'll be though in the end it is up to the leading of the Holy Spirit. This month I find comes the end of many things but the renewal and rebirth of many more. There can be no resurrection life without first experiencing death and loss and mayhaps that this is the season where Yahweh is really hitting it home. I am excited once more as to how Yeshua shall take over and I shall once again see the glory of Yahweh revealed and I shall give Him glory because of it.

[Psa 50:15] And call upon Me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify Me.

Faith is building...

We Walk by Faith

The fasting and praying is under way and we are soon reaching the halfway point of this corporate staff and helpers' monthly fast and pray. Overall, there is of course an enemy present to distress and oppress those who allow them to do so but I realise that the main theme of this fasting and praying is taking up the authority even over our own bodies. The spirit of the prophets are subject to the prophets and likewise their own body as well. We have the power to bring every nook and cranny of our body into our own subjection and control and praise Yahweh that such a lesson He has taught me before and is now reminding me yet again.

Feelings, emotions, the body are all immaterial and not lasting but what will remain is the eternal Spirit of Elohim which gives us life to our mortal bodies. Hence, surely the Spirit within us is greater than the body which houses it. After all, even the Bible says thus:

[Heb 3:3-4] For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who hath builded the house hath more honour than the house.
For every house is builded by some man; but He that built all things is Elohim.

[Mat 23:17] Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold?

[Mat 23:19] Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift?

Now is the time that the road of faith is becoming ever narrower like never before and only those who have learnt not just to walk and live in faith, but those who are able to bring their own beings into their subjection and control not by might but by faith; will live the life of heaven on earth. Live the fullness of the life of Yeshua here on earth and to manifest His glory and declare it among the nations. The walk is becoming increasingly difficult to let us know that the time of trying is over, the time to believe and be is now. It's time to move into the things which Elohim has prepared for us by faith and with constant joy and willingness.

Quick Note

There's not really much to write at the moment concerning this week although I find that this week was quite enjoyable for many a reason. Particularly because though the work is much to be done, much was done not by might, nor by power but by the Holy Spirit. Looking back at this week, there was a lot needed to be done and praise Yahweh a lot was done about it but not because of manpower but Elohim power instead. To be frank, we boys took plenty of breaks in between and yet the work was completed and much more. To me, it just goes to show that its not the amount of diligence or effort put into the task though it is important, but rather the diligence to let Elohim take over completely the work. It's His house after all, meaning it's His work to manage and supply the need for in the end.

More than that, on the horizon I see a wind of change. Something new is coming and perhaps it is because they are yet seminars upcoming that will soon take place. After this previous advance and the many breakthroughs and testimonies there's really no way left except onward and upward. I am glad, satisfied with the goodness of the Lord Yeshua in His house just as was promised. And yet, there is much more to come. How exciting. And thus ends this week's post. Like I said, there's really not much to write at the moment but so much to ponder and meditate upon the goodness of Messiah in days to come. Praise Him.
