Durians Aplenty

There isn't really much to write about at this time of the season so I'll keep it short, simple, but sweet. The durian season is here once again and we have the likes of uncle Sam who is once more serving Yahweh with us here in Glory Place helping out so the work load is immensely alleviated and distributed. The durian trees which were not bearing fruit last season are now doing so both in quantity and quality. We have absolute massive durians this time around, by massive I do mean that one to two durians is enough for a table of 7 to 8 people to share evenly. Praise Yahweh for once again Him blessing us with bountiful crops and fields.

That's basically the gist of what is happening now and will continue to happen as I believe for the next few weeks. Right now is the peak of the season so there will be an abundance of durians, in fact almost every single dinner we've been having many of them in one way or another and by that I mean either as a fruit, as a sweet, or even a savoury meal. We are just overflowing durians here and will continue to do so until the season ends in 2 or 3 weeks. Praise Yahweh for that.

I really am enjoying myself here, in case some may seem to wonder. After all, why continue if there is no enjoyment or pleasure in it? From the rising of the morning until the sleeping in the night I enjoy every moment and portion given to me as it is in my hand from the hand of Yeshua Messiah to me.

Ecc 3:12-13 I know that there is no good in them, but for a man to rejoice, and to do good in his life. And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labour, it is the gift of Elohim.

And surely such things are with me. This is the time as I believe I've already mentioned that Yahweh is bringing about a fulfilment of the things promised to us and I'm not just talking about nations. The word which He has spoken to us He is bringing them into manifestation and fulfilment and we shall see in this time and season the glory of Yahweh revealed and all flesh shall bless His holy name. Praise the Lord Yeshua.

Two Matters

I've been pondering recently and most recently Yahweh has been speaking to me concerning two matters which I will share briefly. The first being that there will always be somebody somewhere in every generation that will hear His voice and move according to His Spirit. In every generation and time the Lord Yeshua will raise up a remnant it not then a man or woman or child who will be all out for Him and will heed His call for whatever purpose He has prepared for that time and season. Likewise I find that many times people may say that without so and so this place will not be able to run smoothly but that is not true, never. This is Glory Place, the house of the Lord Yeshua and as such He will take care of it and provide means necessary to see it well kept and maintained always. Because recently as I've recalled many people have left the ministry to pursue other interests such as the Lord leads them I believe and so arises voices that say that now there is no one who will keep the place running. The testimony is that because this is the house of Yahweh He has promised thus:

Jer 33:20-22 Thus saith YAHWEH; If ye can break My covenant of the day, and My covenant of the night, and that there should not be day and night in their season; Then may also My covenant be broken with David My servant, that he should not have a son to reign upon his throne; and with the Levites the priests, My ministers. As the host of heaven cannot be numbered, neither the sand of the sea measured: so will I multiply the seed of David My servant, and the Levites that minister unto Me.

With the passing of one generation another shall always be raised up in its place to take over by the power of the Holy Spirit. What I mean is that since the old guard has gone, a new guard has been established. When the old ones left for other means, Elohim brought more who heard the call of Yahweh and answered to serve Him. And it is amazing that as I reminisce I found out that the same number of people who came to serve balanced equally out those who left. Huh.

Rom 11:19-23 Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in. Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear: For if Elohim spared not the natural branches, take heed lest He also spare not thee. Behold therefore the goodness and severity of Elohim: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in His goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off. And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for Elohim is able to graff them in again.

The second thing which the Lord Yeshua had been speaking to me about recently was about sustaining power. Recently during the Wednesday prayer meeting the Holy Spirit began to speak with me and directed me to observe and see. What I found was that sometimes the worship team would exert all of their strength in the first few songs and nearing the end run out of gas to properly finish it. There was a high point but no sustaining power to keep it there but because all the strength was used there was nothing any longer to sustain the flow of worship. Likewise the Holy Spirit spoke to me that it is better that one is able to finish the race with no recognition or tooting of the trumpet rather than to be a trumpet or a blast of sound and fizzle out in the end, never making it to the Promised Land. As a young person I can testify that sometimes I think of grandeur and splendour and glory in the Lord Yeshua and the great things He will use me for in due time, season, and place. But what if there never comes such a time as these? Will I still be found faithful regardless of that? The Lord really questioned me then, Who is it that sustains you? Him or ourselves? Because if Him then we shall never be in want, what others may seem to have or even the higher steps they take than us is of no consequence to us because we serve the Lord and not ourselves. There is no need for fame when we have the Lord with us. But if we sustain ourselves we will find that eventually, maybe not now but mayhaps in a few weeks, months, years, decades even we will wake up from our haze dream and find out we have not progressed with the Lord Yeshua because we laboured ourselves to pursue something or Someone that cannot be attained through the labouring of one's hands. We will find that down the road it will become harder and harder for us because we have never learnt to trust in Yahweh for all things, we've only learnt how to trust in ourselves.

Ultimately, only the Lord Yeshua can sustain us to the very end. After all the thing which we hope to attain to which is Yeshua's life manifest in us, He has already laid hold of our lives that we may have His.

Phi 3:12 Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Messiah Yeshua.

Psalm 61:1-4

It's been yet another week that has passed now and we've just finished our monthly corporate staff and helpers' fast and prayer together. Recently there's been plenty on my mind which I will not make known because I believe in Yahweh Who works all things for the one who waits for Him.

[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.

I am a firm believer that when someone has a problem the first and only person they ought to consult is the Elohim Who sees and knows all things and able to deliver and rescue, to turn the tide even in the most preposterous situations. We being as Christians have the privilege to be able to turn to our Maker for our help in our times of need but we do not simply because we have never done so before and thus it becomes a foreign thing to rely and put our trust in the living Elohim. But when we begin to turn to Him not just for our health but for our daily needs and provision and much more even for the state and affairs of our lives then we shall begin to see miracles like never before. There are many things going on in my life at this moment which I must take pause and consider but I do not need to meditate so much so as to surrender it all to Yeshua Messiah because having done so many times I can attest that He has never failed me even once before. The reason that I can serve Him here and now in His house with His people is simply because He has brought me here and He is the One Who roots me downwards and to bear fruit upwards.

[Isa 37:31] And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah shall again take root downward, and bear fruit upward:

[Isa 27:6] He shall cause them that come of Jacob to take root: Israel shall blossom and bud, and fill the face of the world with fruit.

So I know within myself that everything, everything shall resolve itself in its due time but of course facing the reality of it one can only continually come before the Lord Yeshua again and again and allow Him to administer peace and rest in Him to people such as us.

[Psa 71:3] Be Thou my strong habitation, whereunto I may continually resort: Thou hast given commandment to save me; for Thou art my rock and my fortress.

[Psa 71:5-6] For Thou art my hope, O Lord YAHWEH: Thou art my trust from my youth. By Thee have I been holden up from the womb: Thou art he that took me out of my mother's bowels: my praise shall be continually of Thee.

One thing that not many people understand is that there is a need to continuously hold onto the Head Who is Yeshua Messiah. Many people presume that once they have spoken with the Lord and received His peace once that it is enough but it is not enough. Even the Lord Yeshua in His most dire time before He had to go to the cross had to continuously cast Himself before the Heavenly Father again and again so that the Father's will above His own will would be accomplished.

[Mat 26:38-39] Then saith He unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with Me. And He went a little further, and fell on His face, and prayed, saying, O My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from Me: nevertheless not as I will, but as Thou wilt.

[Mat 26:42] He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O My Father, if this cup may not pass away from Me, except I drink it, Thy will be done.

[Mat 26:44] And He left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words.

There will be situations in one's life that will seem too large and broad for one to cross over safely make no mistake about that. In times like these we need to learn to continually look and cling to our Elohim like never before, not just once or twice but again and again until these things at last pass us by.

[Psa 57:1] To the chief Musician, Altaschith, Michtam of David, when he fled from Saul in the cave. Be merciful unto me, O Elohim, be merciful unto me: for my soul trusteth in Thee: yea, in the shadow of Thy wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities be overpast.

There will come a time when everything will rock and shake, nothing will be left unturned and in such a time we need to learn to direct our cries and prayers and our help to our Maker. If we do not learn to do so now in our times of peace then what shall happen when things come suddenly and without notice like a flood? We will be swept away, us and our works together because we have not learned to trust in Yahweh for all matters and things pertaining to this life. So that is also one of the reasons why I do not make my problems known to anyone save my Lord Yeshua because if others hear what can they do to help? But when He hears me I know that salvation is guaranteed and I am already saved from it all, praise Yahweh. It is also why I do not write down my situations, not to cover them up but I make no remembrance of them because in the end they all have passed away. Not a single one of them remained I can testify but only the Lord Yeshua remained. For that I turn to Him and I am glad I turn to Him, He shall hear me and He shall turn things around! Praise Yeshua.

Birthday in Life and Death

My birthday was eventful to say the least. So many things have happened in the last few days that I had to take time to collect my thoughts and to ruminate on what exactly the Lord Yeshua is showing me in these last few days. One of the aunties whom I know, her husband passed away right after he told his family and church elders that he wants to seek Yahweh for healing and not turn back to man for help. I wasn't there when it happened but from what I hear from eyewitness accounts there was a lot of crying and a lot of chaos involved. Due to the lack of personnel in the Glory Place everyone was called together to worship and to pray for resurrection but it was a big mess. From what I've heard the harpists were each playing their own songs, one of them was even singing such a joyous song in times like these whereas the immediate family was crying and wailing like nobody's business. Everyone who entered the old sanctuary also begin to cry as they didn't know what to do and needless to say it was controlled chaos at its finest. I however during that time was in my room soundly asleep as though there was nothing that could wake me. I didn't wake up until the commotion was nearly at its end. But when I went near I immediately knew what it was all about.

This all happened on the day of my birthday but praise Yahweh that just before the day came as I was celebrating with my family back at home I suddenly felt that the Holy Spirit was prompting me something. It was just a few more minutes before midnight but I suddenly felt as though I had to fast and prepare myself for what is going to happen tomorrow. I suddenly felt the love and immense favour of the Lord upon my life so much so that I had to just give thanks to Him for bringing me all the way to this point in time safe and sound together with my family. I even teared up a little as I was praying but thankfully no one noticed except the Lord of course. Never had I known what He was preparing me for until just recently.

So even now the wake service has been undertaken and is on its way. But even the things leading up to it were all messy and such. I who am not involved with the scheduling of the transport (I didn't even know what time the van was leaving to go to the wake) was continuously called and barraged with messages from people asking me to help them schedule to go to the wake together. People were messaging me telling me one thing but the next moment they changed their minds, and again they changed their minds. I was infuriated, nearly on the verge of giving my mind to whoever would call or message me next but praises to Elohim that no one did call after that to the salvation of both they and myself, praise Yahweh. But even then I was still sore the whole day.

After having just been put onto worship I found my release in ministering to the Lord Yeshua as always. For that I truly am grateful that because I am serving Him day and night I will always have the chance to worship Him whenever, wherever and find my breakthrough from Him. All glory to Elohim for the things He has done. You know, I was actually a bit peeved that almost everyone had gone for the wake service and left so few of us back to man the fort but I see that the Holy Spirit really took us over we who remained here. The work though varying and many were done efficiently and without much effort on our part and everything was able to be done mayhaps at an even more brisk pace than usual. But more so I am concerned now for the people who all went for the wake service, they left at 4.00pm in the evening and even at the stroke of midnight they have yet to return. If anything, and though this is merely speculation on my part they have the more arduous tasks to fulfil. Oof. Anyways all I can say for myself is that the Lord Yeshua has truly been favourable towards someone like me. In all things He has caused it to work together for good to them who love Him, to them who are the called according to His purpose. You know, I once asked myself what does it mean to walk in the Spirit and I've found that the answer is simple. The walk in the Spirit is the walk of faith in the Lord Yeshua that He will work everything together for His good and His purpose to be done, on our part we just have to walk believing and thus it has been so with my life thus far. He has sustained, provided, healed, delivered, saved, set apart, called, and even blessed someone such as I to the extent that I know I truly am most blessed forever. Made exceedingly glad in His presence. Praise Yahweh.

Halfway Point

We've officially reached the halfway point of this year 2019 and I am truly grateful to the Lord Yeshua for bringing and sustaining me through all things even until this point thus far. Truly, even now as I remember all His wonderful works which He has done I am in awe at the things which He had brought me through. I remember the times when I had thought that the very situation itself would overwhelm me but time and time again the Lord Yeshua has never failed. Even now I recall the things which He has spoken to me and everything which He has said is and surely will come to pass. Everything which He has spoken to me I have borne witness to the fulfilment of each and every word spoken by Him whereas I see that other words spoken by men have failed.

Honestly speaking there's not much to note about nor is there much to write about at this time other than the fact that Yahweh is moving amongst the nations and surely among us as well. The things which He has revealed to me causes me all the more to cling to Him especially when the coming of the Lord Yeshua is so close. In all honesty I believe that the end is nearer than when we first believed, we make plans and prepare for the years to come but as I believe we shall see first and foremost the second coming of the Lord Yeshua. I know that every generation has said thus and have thus gone but in our generation we are seeing things which those in times past desired to look into.

[1Pe 1:12] Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into.

Things which no one would have believed if it were told them during their time, all the more now there is this sense that at last the fulfilment of every word of Elohim is coming to past and surely only those who are looking and waiting for Him shall see His coming once again.

[Act 13:41] Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work in your days, a work which ye shall in no wise believe, though a man declare it unto you.

I cannot explain to you how now the Holy Spirit is revealing His glory to me and all the more He causes me to desire Him more than even my necessary food.

[Job 23:12] Neither have I gone back from the commandment of His lips; I have esteemed the words of His mouth more than my necessary food.

I found that there is a need to cling to Him in these last days because everyone everywhere is abroad and doing as they please. I however want to be doing what He is pleased with and to spend my days in His presence. Truly that is the greatest gift that anyone could give me, to be able to minister to Him and to serve Him.

[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.

In these last days I find there is a need once more to truly ascertain and make my call and election sure. Because Yahweh has begun to shake the heavens and the earth as He had spoken of and those things which can be shaken shall be shaken and dropped off. But we shall receive a kingdom which cannot be shaken and thus we should hold fast to Messiah Yeshua Who is the Head of all principalities and powers, all the more reason now to not grow weary but to be further empowered for the greater works which He shall perform and we to bear witness of it.
