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.
