Wait First and Secondly

We're entering into the last few moments of this All Day Praise and Worship to remember the work of the cross done by the Lord Yeshua Messiah millennia ago. Truthfully speaking, though I was given but a few watches to worship on I enjoyed them all the same because on each occasion Yahweh was doing such a mighty work in and through each and every one present here for this 24 hour event, from Semarak, GP itself, and also CRC. I've really enjoyed this time that we can spend just being still and allow Elohim to do a mighty work indeed.

Throughout the last few days the Holy Spirit has been personally speaking to me about the importance of being still. Because many times we think we can do many things and while we are empowered to do so without the real leading of the Spirit which comes by Him taking over the situation by us being still, the situation turns sour or contrary to what we first believed. Many times our plans, our desires come to nothing simply because we do not spend enough time to wait for the empowering action of Yahweh to take over us completely.

[Job 20:20] Surely he shall not feel quietness in his belly, he shall not save of that which he desired.

What do I mean? Well, many times we believe we have been given the plans and purposes which the Lord Yeshua has purposes to give to us in our due times and seasons through our waiting and being still for him. But immediately we spring into action forgetting that just as we were patient to wait for the will of Yahweh to be revealed to us in that time we also need to wait and be still until the empowerment to do said will by comes upon us as well.

[Phi 2:13] For it is Elohim which worketh in you both to will and to do of His good pleasure.

Through what the Holy Spirit has been revealing to me He has shown that not many people have the capacity to wait for Him whether it be years, months, days, even hours. He has waited for us for many years to come to Him and yet we are so eager to do His will forgetting that He alone is the One Who will give us the desire as well as the execution of it through us. We are called to wait upon Him as a servant of a house waits upon the hands of the master to give to Him whatever He pleases any time of the day. The only criteria is that he be found waiting upon him. Such is the case for us.

[Psa 46:10] Be still, and know that I am Elohim: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.

[Isa 30:15-16] For thus saith the Lord YAHWEH, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: and ye would not. But ye said, No; for we will flee upon horses; therefore shall ye flee: and, We will ride upon the swift; therefore shall they that pursue you be swift.

[Isa 30:18] And therefore will the YAHWEH wait, that He may be gracious unto you, and therefore will He be exalted, that He may have mercy upon you: for YAHWEH is an Elohim of judgment: blessed are all they that wait for Him.

Everyone had to wait, including the Lord Yeshua. Though He knew the plan and eternal purpose of the Spirit was to be offered up in due time at the cross of Calvary He had to wait for 33 years until the Holy Spirit Himself offered the Lord up as a sacrifice for our propitiation of all our sins. Not He Himself but the Holy Spirit within Him Who did the work so how can we be expected to do any more than that?

[Heb 9:14-15] How much more shall the blood of Messiah, Who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to Elohim, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living Elohim? And for this cause He is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.

He became our example and the our great High Priest because He Himself trusted Yahweh that as He was the One Who gave Him the purpose to die on the cross He too by the Spirit would fulfil it through Him and not He Himself.

So even us here now. As we continue to abide in the house and the presence of Yahweh He desires that we learn to be still and allow Him to do as He please when He please and not we ourselves. Because then will He be exalted over the nations and over all the earth as He should be. Besides, the works itself shall testify whether what we are doing is of the will of Yahweh or not. Even if it is the will of Yahweh it can despoil as quickly as it came to us because of our hastiness to perform it. Abraham paid the cause for that with Ishmael. Saul paid the price of his kingship and the nation of Israel because of it.

[Pro 20:21] An inheritance may be gotten hastily at the beginning; but the end thereof shall not be blessed.

[Jer 14:10] Thus saith the YAHWEH unto this people, Thus have they loved to wander, they have not refrained their feet, therefore the YAHWEH doth not accept them; He will now remember their iniquity, and visit their sins.

When we have received a plan, a course, or even a saying from Yahweh do we pause and linger until He Himself gives us the green light to continue on or do we just go? We will then see whose words shall stand. When we receive something driven from Yahweh that does not mean the time to wait has come to an end, more so it has merely begun.

Inner Sanctum

It was a wonderful time that I was able to spend at Glory Place Petaling Jaya for this past few days. I applied some days off so that I may fast and seek Yahweh there and praise Yahweh that I was able to do that and accomplish much more as well.

Not to write too much now but during my entire stay there for the past few days I was able to catch up on my Bible reading and to just spend my time waiting upon Yahweh and receiving from Him. It was such a lovely place to be able to spend time and just be alone with Elohim and myself, of course David Huan was there with me though and his company was greatly appreciated. Needless to say I thoroughly enjoyed the past few days just resting there and reading the Bible.

While we were there as well we had our own prayer drive around the city on Thursday night and frankly as we were praying and going around I lost my way and nearly headed into Pahang itself from the highway but praise Yahweh that by the leading of His Spirit He led us both back to the right road safe and sound. Even on the way back today after we had our lunch we got lost again and found ourselves on the outskirts into the city but thank Elohim and the Lord Yeshua Messiah that we were able to be redirected back onto the right road once more.

There really isn't anything else to write of as of this moment because that's basically how our time there was spent: resting, waiting upon Yahweh, reading Bible, eating, worshipping albeit not as frequent. It was really such a peaceful and well thought out time to just be still and know that He truly is Elohim of our lives. Praise Yahweh for such an opportunity to be able to spend time like that in Glory Place PJ. Well, back to it then...

Holiness Unto Yahweh

This particular Staff and Helpers Fasting and Prayer was very beneficial to me. Not only did I receive strength to push through the fast so much so that I was able to work slightly, but the breakthrough which I received from Elohim was also one that was very timely and I believe for me especially.

During the fast and pray the Holy Spirit really did such a powerful work of convicting me through and through particularly in the utterance of my mouth and my deeds and actions. His conviction was so strong upon me that whenever we gathered together and the presence of Yahweh came upon us mightily the Holy Spirit would always reveal to me the areas in my life which is lacking Him and all I could do was to repent and turn around from these things. Throughout this there days particularly I found that though I've been given liberty in the Lord Yeshua Messiah yet I've used that liberty as a cloak for vices. Inasmuch as He has revealed to and convicted me of it I must relinquish that liberty once more and be brought under the yoke of the Messiah which He promised to me will be light and easy.

[1Pe 2:16] As free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of Elohim

[Rom 6:15-16] What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? Elohim forbid. Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?

[Rom 6:18] Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.

[1Co 7:22] For he that is called in the Lord, being a servant, is the Lord's freeman: likewise also he that is called, being free, is Messiah's servant.

[1Co 9:19] For though I be free from all men, yet have I made myself servant unto all, that I might gain the more.

So I realise that in this particular fast and pray the Lord Yeshua is calling me to a deeper level of holiness and so I respond: yes, of course. There is never any other option than to accept what the Lord wants to do in and through someone. And should it be of Yahweh than it will pertain not to the materialistic nature of this world but of the heavenly nature. What I'm saying is that when something is of the will of Yahweh He will bless it not materialistically but rather supernaturally.
[2Pe 1:3-4] According as His divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him that hath called us to glory and virtue: Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

Not to say that He does not bless us materially as well which I can testify He does however, there is first and foremost a Divine blessing before a material one in all my experiences. If our walk is only of continuous material blessings and nothing of the Divine then we really have to examine from whom and where are we getting all of these from. He desires above our comfort here on earth to attain to His Divine nature and glory which He has prepared for us, that is first and foremost. But I'm going off tangent.

What I've realised is that my liberty is not being bound up in the love of Messiah but rather a love for pleasure using the name of Messiah and that's a big no-no. Because of that He has revealed to me that I'm not fully experiencing Him to the fullest extent He has enabled me to. So I repent, and now I turn away making a choice and believing in Him to fully carry out and sustain me through whatever the road ahead may take me. Holiness unto Yahweh is not something man is able to accomplish by himself, no one ever has and no one ever will unless the Lord takes over completely.

[Heb 10:14] For by one offering He hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.

[1Th 5:23] And the very Elohim of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray Elohim your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Yeshua Messiah.

So which such a strong conviction to once again rededicate myself and my being to the Lord in holiness and righteousness I am truly excited because now it is as though my eyes have been made very clear. As though scales fell from my eyes, my eyes now feel as though it's been made clear like never before. I eagerly look forward to what He intends to do in and through not just me but as I believe each and every one of us to whom He has called to be His own.

[Luk 1:74-75] That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve Him without fear, In holiness and righteousness before Him, all the days of our life.

Praise Yahweh.
