Blessed of the Most High

I think myself truly blessed once again because I find that whatsoever word and promise which Yahweh has spoken to me He is surely bringing them all to pass in my life. Giving me confirmations from different people and different situations once again I found it in my heart to meditate and to pray before Yahweh for all the good that He has wrought for me through His Son Yeshua Messiah Whom I believe.

[2Sa 7:18-20] Then went king David in, and sat before YAHWEH, and he said, Who am I, O Lord YAHWEH? and what is my house, that Thou hast brought me hitherto? And this was yet a small thing in thy sight, O Lord YAHWEH; but Thou hast spoken also of thy servant's house for a great while to come. And is this the manner of man, O Lord YAHWEH? And what can David say more unto thee? for thou, Lord YAHWEH, knowest Thy servant.

Everything around and within is slowly conforming to the image of the Son of Elohim though it may not seem so but as I believe I know that it is being done. For that I truly am joyous and glad. Because as I've said everything is coming together for good even unto someone like me who though have many flaws and errors, stumbling often here and there and yet it pleased the Lord Yeshua to look upon someone such as I to be so merciful and gracious as He is. This is truly humbling for someone like me who sees the hand of Yahweh in my own life and how He has never forsaken me. So I found it in my heart that in this moment as we come into the halfway point of the year 2019 to give thanks at the remembrance of His holy name.

[2Sa 7:25] And now, O YAHWEH Elohim, the word that Thou hast spoken concerning Thy servant, and concerning his house, establish it for ever, and do as Thou hast said.

[2Sa 7:27-29] For Thou, O YAHWEH of hosts, Elohim of Israel, hast revealed to Thy servant, saying, I will build thee an house: therefore hath Thy servant found in his heart to pray this prayer unto Thee. And now, O Lord YAHWEH, Thou art that Elohim, and Thy words be true, and Thou hast promised this goodness unto Thy servant: Therefore now let it please thee to bless the house of Thy servant, that it may continue for ever before Thee: for Thou, O Lord YAHWEH, hast spoken it: and with Thy blessing let the house of Thy servant be blessed for ever.

I find that David's life in the Bible was one full of worship unto his Elohim not only in deed but in life. Every situation that He was in he made it into a song to praise Yahweh, so fascinating to read and to see the journey of his life. It was not an easy one considering that he was left alone to his own devices since young but yet Yahweh had been with him and because of that he became who he is even though there were many trials and situations which he had to overcome although there were some he could not. Paul also is another one whose life is full of worship not of making his life's story into song but that his life itself becomes a savour and a pleasing aroma before the Lord Yeshua. The way he conducted himself was in such a way that everyone who knew him testified to the regards that Messiah was truly in him, the hope of glory. He lived his life serving Yahweh, loving each and every moment and therefore he experienced in the greatest measure the fullness of the Godhead bodily. And because of which he has been blessed with so much that he can also readily bless others both physically but more so spiritually. And yet, there is still so much more than that that we can yet experience in this age and time. I believe that in every season that comes and goes the presence and outpouring of the Holy Spirit and power grows ever stronger so much so that every generation raised following will experience much more than the generations prior. Such is the awesome Elohim we serve. Praise Yahweh, look forward to those things which are ahead whatever they may be. Surely it shall turn altogether for our good in and for Him.

Soaking in the Downpour

Now the Cleansing the Temple seminar is over and we move into the Harp & Bowl sessions for the next 3 days. I must say I really enjoyed the time spent during this seminar because I was just able to continually soak myself in the presence of Yahweh and to allow the Holy Spirit to do a deep work in me. Even as I see I found that there have been many great breakthroughs not just for me but for others as well, particularly those from Hong Kong.

Perhaps the greatest thing during this seminar for me was that I was able to be cleansed yet again. You will never really know how dirty and polluted you are until you come into the presence of Yahweh and you'll find that everything you've done and said cannot compare to the glorious splendour of His majesty. I found myself to be thoroughly enjoying this seminar even though I had few hours of sleep per day. Yet time and time again in His presence the Lord Yeshua refreshed me and strengthened me for the day's tasks ahead of me and for such I am grateful. The duties entrusted to me were aplenty and challenging in its many forms and ways and yet I enjoyed them all. Everything that has happened during this seminar I really enjoyed it all. I found that being able to cast aside my exhaustion allowed me to fully immerse myself in His presence and to be changed. At the end of it I really do feel clean, cleansed, and purified once again. Such is the marvellous work of the Holy Spirit.

Now as we enter the Harp & Bowl sessions I can already see that I will once again enjoy them to my heart's content. After all, such things are the gifts of Elohim towards us men.

[Ecc 2:24] There is nothing better for a man, than that he should eat and drink, and that he should make his soul enjoy good in his labour. This also I saw, that it was from the hand of Elohim.

[Ecc 5:19-20] Every man also to whom Elohim hath given riches and wealth, and hath given him power to eat thereof, and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his labour; this is the gift of Elohim. For he shall not much remember the days of his life; because Elohim answereth him in the joy of his heart.

The days flew by quickly and we are already nearing the halfway point of this year 2019 in the blink of an eye. Surely the nations are coming into alignment into the sovereign will of Yahweh, surely a remnant and a generation is being birthed who will be a holy temple fit to offer sacrifices of righteousness acceptable to Elohim, surely Yeshua is coming quickly for His bride and she must make herself ready. All the pieces of the puzzle are at last falling into place and sooner than we think the end will come. But our ending is beautiful in Him, if we continue to hold fast to the hope in which we were called to walk in holiness with. Praise Yahweh.

Cleaning the Temple

The "Cleansing the Temple" seminar is now under way and praise Yahweh that even on the first full day itself there is already a great move of the Holy Spirit here in this place. Every moment that we engaged in the worship we, not to mention myself as well were able to be refreshed and strengthened for the days and times ahead. For me the worship was powerful and I realise why, it is because I would need the strength for the road I'm taking ahead. I am reminded of the story of how Elijah himself was also fed by the angel so that he may prepare himself for the long journey ahead him.

[1Ki 19:5-8] And as he lay and slept under a juniper tree, behold, then an angel touched him, and said unto him, Arise and eat. And he looked, and, behold, there was a cake baken on the coals, and a cruse of water at his head. And he did eat and drink, and laid him down again. And the angel of YAHWEH came again the second time, and touched him, and said, Arise and eat; because the journey is too great for thee. And he arose, and did eat and drink, and went in the strength of that meat forty days and forty nights unto Horeb the mount of Elohim.

Apparently almost every time I'm involved with the transport details of the participants I would somehow be delegated to drive and bring around the participants that would have situations and unforeseen circumstances arise. What I mean by that, it is better that I give an example:

Earlier today I was once again chosen because I availed myself to the task, it is after all for the glory of the Messiah I do this. Not to mention that I take pleasure in it as well, if you don't love what you do then why do it, no? So it was supposed to be a simple trip to send someone to the airport and pick up another but Yahweh is sovereign, that was not the case yet again. Problems and situations began to arise one after another: the luggage was overweight, not able to pass through customs, not enough cash on hand, I even got lost on the way back from the airport because I wasn't paying attention. Normally I would be at my wits' end and I would cry out to Yeshua for His help and taking over of me, although this time I did call upon the name of the Lord Yeshua there was no dissonance. I wasn't disturbed or troubled in the slightest, in fact the more the problems were added upon each other like a delicious layered cake, the more I found myself at peace with what is happening because I knew that the Holy Spirit shall and has taken over. He loves the people as much as He does me so with that confidence I know all things concerning them will work out to the benefit of both the driver and the drove.

Worship really is powerful, it is just a matter of perspective. Where is your gaze upon or rather Whom is your gaze upon? Many times we would credit other factors that would dissuade us from worshipping Yahweh. That guy is not right with Yahweh, I myself don't feel worthy to worship since I just fell into sin, everything and everyone around me is not in the mood for worship, I can't even sense the presence of Yahweh in this place but then is that really it? Are we saying that just because someone or something affects us that makes the worship unto Yahweh no longer worth the effort nor the joy to do? Just because someone we do not like or we see something we find disturbing, should that affect our worship in the least? Then it is a matter of perspective. The Holy Spirit has taught me that it no longer matters who leads worship or how others carry themselves around me, nor even should the atmosphere affect me. Every time, no matter who, what, when, where, why, or how we gather together, even if it is just two people whose hearts are not right before Elohim the Lord Yeshua will be there in the midst of them. And when He Himself gave that promise aright to us, then there is nothing to see nor say except to sing the song of the Lord.

[Mat 18:20] For where two or three are gathered together in My name, there am I in the midst of them.

Yeshua declared Himself to be the One Who walks in the midst of the seven lamp stands in the book of Revelation. And to take note that out of all of them, only two out of seven of those lamp stands which symbolises the church of Messiah were right before Him. And yet He still walks and is there in the midst of them all.

[Rev 2:1] Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith Je that holdeth the seven stars in His right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks;

Like I said, it is merely now a matter of perspective concerning how we worship Elohim. His presence will always be here when two or three gather together no matter what can be said. Thus we should reverence Him as we should no matter what as well. Praise Him gloriously.

The Anointing to Wait

It's the season of waiting. I didn't realise it at first but now as the week has progressed I found that everything has been pointing to waiting upon Yahweh to take over all things and as well to enjoy the time spent just receiving in His presence. Almost every conversation and action that I've had and taken over the past week either had a connection to waiting for Him or just about receiving and being still before Him until the moment is right to act and move. Actually it was when Pastor Jean mentioned last night during the Wednesday prayer meeting how this is the time for breakthrough and all we have to do now is to wait and receive it. That was when it clicked for me that this is what Yahweh wanted to be done during this time.

Over the course of my time spent here serving Yahweh I've begun to cultivate not only how to worship and pray but also to wait upon Yahweh. Because I find that inasmuch as it is good to worship the Lord and to pray to Him it is also good I find that one takes time to be still and receive from Him. Frankly speaking this is a privilege that though is given many people but is taken lightly and as a result becomes a regret down the line of weeks, months, years because they simply did not use the time to wait for Him as He waits for us.

[Isa 30:18] And therefore will 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.

So now even in my time for my slot to worship on the harp and pray I also use set time to wait because I find that that is something though given to everything is hardly done and because of that their journey is proving difficult arduous. In fact, sometimes I find that waiting is not something for everyone but it is a must for everyone. Although sometimes it is good to sing the song of the Lord and to pray to Him, sometimes it is not called for. What is called for many times is for us to be still so that He can lead us to the right song and the right prayer, even practically so the right action and the right words.

So now I make it my aim, even when I am still young as this to cultivate the presence of Yahweh and the leading of His Holy Spirit. Not only for the anointing to worship and minister, pray and intercede, but also to wait and receive because ultimately the first two are tied together and strengthened by the latter. And so I might not write much this month simply because I am waiting and waiting. For what? For His will to be done in all things and for the continuation of His taking over until perfection takes place. Come Lord Yeshua!

For Times Ahead

It has definitely been ages since I had last written but the fact of the matter was that nothing of major notice has happened as of late. In fact everything has gone on smoothly as it should be. Well, as smoothly as it ought to be which includes the usual everyday warfare with Yahweh's deliverance and His guidance through His Word and His Spirit, His blessings which He pours out everyday which always overshadows every troubles and trials one goes through. Through one begins the day in normalcy, he ends it in joy for the good that Messiah Yeshua has truly blessed Him with. So yes, everything has been as usual as of late.

But perhaps what is now happening is that once again I see the Lord hastening the pace at which the work He has begun and which He promised to perfect and complete it. Even now I can tell that events are being set into motion and when everything comes to a head then it will become exciting once again. The work which the Lord Yeshua does I find is mysterious and frightening, yet at the same time known and exciting. It truly is a mystery but one that is made known though perhaps vaguely to me. Now I see that the ball has been set rolling once again and during this fast and prayer time I do look forward to the work which He will accomplish in and through me and more so for everyone here involved.

The time is coming when all one can do is cling to the Lord Yeshua for the times to come. The seasons ahead look to be one filled with much excitement if one continues to hold steadfastly to the Head of all things Who is Messiah the Lord.

[Col 2:19] And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of Elohim.

But if one lets go then it surely becomes a different matter altogether.

[Heb 10:31] It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living Elohim.
