Born Into This World

It’s time to remember

the real reason

and absolute truth

for the season.

So many of the images and songs seen and heard this week are focused on the birth of our Messiah.  Amid the food, décor, gifts and commercial festivities, there is nothing wrong with remembering that He came as an infant; as long as we remember that He came for one purpose

and that was to die.

John 12:32

He said Himself and I if I am lifted up …

I will draw all peoples to Myself.

Very few of us have any understanding of the reason why Jesus Christ/Yeshua Hamashiach died. If sympathy is all that people need then the cross of Messiah is ridiculous, redundant and there is no need for it. What the world needs now is not emotional, sentimental, ‘love sweet love’ feelings, but major surgery. In the moments we find ourselves face to face with those who are lost spiritually, we should recall the image of the reality of Jesus/Yeshua on the cross. If a lost soul can reach our Heavenly Father by any other means, then His death on the cross was pointless and unnecessary. If we think we are helping lost souls only with sympathy, understanding and nothing else, are we not traitors to the truth of why He came?

Each of us must have a right relationship with our Heavenly Father through Messiah; and pour out our lives in helping others in His Way, not in the ways of humanity that ignores the Father and the Cross of Messiah. The foundation and ways of so many of the religions of the world are, to serve in a pleasant attitude with a nonconfrontational manner.

However according to the scriptures, our only priority must be to present Messiah crucified and to lift Him up all the time. 

I had made up my mind not to think about anything while I was with you except Jesus Christ, and to preach him as crucified. 1 Cor. 2:2.

The truth is, that every belief that is not rooted and grounded in the cross of Messiah will lead people in the wrong direction. Our words will be compelling to those with whom we are speaking only if we ourselves believe wholeheartedly in Jesus/Yeshua and are trusting in the reality of redemption through His shed blood at the cross. Our usefulness to our Heavenly Father depends entirely on an honest, truthful relationship with Messiah that is strong, and continually growing and bearing fruit.

All believers are called to expose sin and to reveal Jesus/Yeshua as Savior; and because of this we cannot always be over friendly nor be given to compromise. There are times and situations that call for strong correction in order to accomplish major spiritual surgery. Our Heavenly Father has not called us us to give great talks but to lift up Jesus Christ/Yeashua HaMashiach and Him crucified. 

The Lord has dealt with us in a deep way and similarly we must be willing to help others, being ready with pertinent scriptures and not be afraid to apply those which will make the truth undeniable.

Within the first verses of the New Testament we read:

Behold a virgin shall be with child and bear a Son and they shall call His name Immanuel which is translated God with us.

Matthew 1:23

His Birth is history to us…

that Holy One who is to be born

will be called the Son of God. Luke 1:35.

Jesus Christ/Yeshua HaMashiach was

born INTO this world not FROM it.

He did not emerge out of history, He came INTO history from the outside. Messiah is not the best human being the human race can boast about, He’s a being for whom the human race can’t take any credit at all. He’s not man becoming God but God incarnated into our physical likeness. God came into human flesh from outside of it. His life/chaim, is the holiest and the highest, entering through the most humble of doors, a baby. Messiahs birth was the advent, the appearance of our Heavenly Father God in the form of a physical human being.

Galatians 4:19 concerns His birth in us My little children for whom I labor in birth again until Messiah is formed in you.

In the same way Messiah came into human history from outside of it, He must also come into each and every one of us from outside. The question we must ask ourselves this season is:

Have we allowed our own lives to become a Bethlehem for the Son of God to be Immanuel to us? Have I opened the door of my heart for Messiah to be a House of Bread through me?

The town of Bethlehem was prophesied to be where Messiah would be born. Micah 5:2

Beit lechem in Hebrew means House of Bread. Laid in a feeding trough, He was and is the Bread of Life and He dwells in our house/ our physical self where He can feed us spiritually.

We cannot enter the realm of the kingdom of God unless we are born again from above by a birth unlike physical birth. John 3:7 You must be born again from above.

Yeshua/Jesus’ words are not simply a command but a fact based on the authority of His Father. The evidence of this new birth is that we have yielded ourselves so completely to the Father that Messiah is formed in us and His nature begins to work through us. The fact that God came, and the evidence was there in the flesh; is what made redemption possible for each one of us, for whosoever will receive Him.

Although we have clear scriptural references that Messiahs birth was not exactly on 25th December, religious traditions give us the perfect opportunity to tell people the real reason for the season, lets’ make the most of it. Previous posts on related themes with many more insights are listed below for new readers. Hannukah was a time of dedication and lighting lights to lift up the light of our world – Jesus/Yeshua Messiah, Lord and soon returning King.

However we celebrate, let’s keep our eyes on Him, the author and finisher of our faith, and keep looking up for our redemption is closer now than when we first believed.

One day soon there will be true shalom, peace on earth!

Soon and very soon we are going to see the Sar Shalom – Prince of Peace and King of kings. There have been many babies born that became kings but only one King that became a baby!

Shalom aleikhem

chaverim and mishpachah!

Peace to friends and family.

Shavua Tov, Have a blessed week.

Make certain Messiah Jesus/Yeshua is your Redeemer, Savior, Lord and soon returning King and that you have a personal relationship with Him.

It’s all about Life and Relationship, NOT Religion.

You are very precious in His sight.

Not sure ..you can be…

SIMPLY SAY THE FOLLOWING MEANING IT FROM YOUR HEART..don’t delay one more minute,

SAY IT RIGHT NOW…

Heavenly Father I come to you in the Name of Jesus/Yeshua asking for forgiveness of my sins for which I am truly sorry. I repent of them all and turn away from my past.

I believe with my heart and confess with my mouth that Jesus/Yeshua is your Son and that He died on the cross at calvary to pay the price for my sin, so that I might be forgiven and have eternal life in the kingdom of Heaven. Father I believe that Jesus/Yeshua rose from the dead and I ask you to come into my life right now and be my personal Savior and Lord and I will worship you all the days of my life. Because your word is truth I say that I am now forgiven and born again and by faith I am washed clean with the blood of Jesus/Yeshua. Thank you that you have accepted me into your family in Jesus’/Yeshua’s name.

Did Messiahs Question Leave Phillip Speechless?

Who is Yeshua/Yahshua/Jesus/Messiah to you?

Yeshua/Jesus said

Have I been with you so long and

yet you have not known me Philip?

John 14:9

When we read this account in Scripture we don’t hear the tone of voice that expresses what Messiah was saying to Philip. Maybe this question was neither a rebuke nor was it said with surprise. Could it have been an encouragement to Philip for him to draw closer?

Was Yeshua/Jesus speaking to Philip as a

Talmid – disciple 

one who He had called to

‘Follow Me’?

Possibly, because the Hebrew word for

disciple is

talmid

and this word stresses the

relationship between

rabbi

רבי

(teacher or master)

and

תַּלְמִיד

disciple (student).

Strong’s Greek: 4461. ῥαββί (rhabbi) — my master, my teacher

Strong’s Hebrew: 8527. תַּלְמִיד (talmid) — a scholar

A talmid of Yeshua/Jesus’ day would give up their entire life in order to be with their teacher. The talmid/disciple didn’t only seek to know what the teacher knew, as is usually the case today. For them it was not enough just to know what the rabbi said, but the ultimate goal of any talmid was to become like the rabbi and do what the rabbi did.

תלמידם talmidim (Plural)

While Yeshua/Jesus was still with them, and before the subsequent Shavuot following His Resurrection;

the talmidim/students/disciples knew Yeshua/Jesus as the One who gave them power and authority to drive out unclean spirits/demons heal the sick and to initiate teshuvah/ repentance and revival by preaching the good news of the kingdom.

As recorded in Luke 9:1 Matt. 10:1 Mark 6:7,8.

And calling His twelve disciples to Him, Jesus gave them authority over unclean spirits, so that they could drive them out and heal every disease and sickness.

They had a close relationship with Him but as John 15:15 suggests there was a much closer one to come…

I have called you friends.  I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you.

True lasting friendship is rare in this life because it means identifying with another in thought, heart and spirit. Our life experience has been designed to enable us to enter into the closest of relationships with Yeshua/Jesus.

We easily receive the blessings He imparts and know His Word but the most important question is..

Do we really KNOW Him?

It is this that He was questioning Philip about?

We can be with someone and not really know them. All relationships have different levels depending on their type of interaction. Family members, work colleagues, general acquaintances and friends etc., are all different.

Yeshua/Jesus was concerned with them

knowing Him

and in  knowing Him they would also

know His Father

the One Who sent Him.

He said in

John 16:7 Its to your advantage that I go away.

He left the relationship that He had established with them in order to lead them to

an even closer one.

We too are to take the time to become more and more acquainted with Him.

 In Philippians 3:10, Paul said, “For my determined purpose is that I may… progressively become more deeply and intimately acquainted with Him, perceiving and recognizing and understanding the wonders of His Person more strongly and more clearly” (AMP).

The key to becoming acquainted with the Father is by becoming acquainted to His Messiah through the Scriptures/the written Word of God/YaHoVeH. To spend time quietly in His presence allowing Him to speak to us.

Again the key is to have Yeshua/Jesus with us personally, even though we might not see Him, therein lies a blessing and we will also become more acquainted with His Spirit of Holiness/RuachHaKodesh day-by-day.

Yeshua/Jesus told Thomas,

Because you have seen me, you have believed: blessed are those who have not seen, and yet have believed. John 20:29.

We need that same revelation Thomas had, that of Who He is.

The more we are intimate in our relationship with Him, then the bearing of fruit in our lives increases; and fruit bearing is always shown to be a visible sign and result of such a relationship.

John 15:1-4.

The results of this close one on one relationship are that the disciple/talmid is never alone or feels lonely, and never lacks in understanding or compassion. We are content to be in His company alone and to not always be seeking others to pour out our hearts to, but to do so to Him.

The talmid who has such a relationship with Messiah never draws attention to self but will show the evidence in a life where Yeshua/Jesus is fully in control. Not one where the natural abilities push to get things done, just to get them completed in their perceived time and way; but allow the Father to complete all things in His time.

This is the outcome of allowing Yeshua/Jesus to satisfy every area of life/chaim to its fullness. The picture resulting from such a life is that of the strong, calm balance that He gives to those who are close with Him.

So the question is ..

Who is Yeshua/Jesus to each of us…?

Could He ask us the same question He asked Philip?

Have we been with Him so long

and yet we have not

known

Him?

Who Is Yeshua/Jesus/Messiah to each of us…?

Who do we KNOW Him personally as?

What will be our answer?

It’s more than Mark 8:27

We can only present Him to others out of personal experience. We can point to scripture as the written witness but aren’t we called to be a witness unto Him?

We can only describe someone to the depth that we know them personally or, it simply amounts to hearsay.

The most obvious way we know Him is as Savior but what of any other aspect of relationship?

For example: the scripture says He is our

Healer

Yehoveh Rophekha… יהוה רוקה

Jehovah rophe  Yahweh rofe’ekha  The LORD who heals you

Jehovah rophe is one way to write this name of God.

In the original, it is actually

Yahweh rofe’ekha,

the LORD who heals you

YHWH-Rophe. (Rapha, Rophecha, Roph’ekha) 

YHWH Heals / YHWH Who Heals.

Pronounced: Yä-wá'(or Yod-Há-Väv-Há’) Roh-fee’,

Is He our Healer?

Has He healed us?

Have we personally experienced His healing touch and felt His power surge through our bodies?

We need to literally experience the following for Him to BE an absolute reality in those areas in our lives.

Another example is that, if we believe in healing and that He can heal and we may have even seen it in others lives, but is He our Healer? There is a difference and it would follow that once an individual has experienced a certain aspect, it becomes not only a reality rather than just a belief; but also boosts the faith of that individual in a very personal and real way.

We can have mental assent about something and agree that it is true, but is that enough?

Is it not therefore more accurate to say:

We have to be saved for Him to be our savior – מוֹשִׁיעַ.

The best term in Hebrew is: Moshiaa — מושיע.

The word Jesus in English is originally Hebrew

YehoShuaa — יהושוע.

It has a meaning of: the one. 

One who gives freedom from distress and the ability to pursue one’s way.

The word

מושיה moshiah 

can be used in the sense of an action as in

Deuteronomy 28:29

where it is translated as:

save

but literally means:

causing to be delivered

So the following would also seem to be true:

You have to be redeemed

for Him to be your redeemer.

 

You have to be His servant

for Him to be your Master לִשְׁלוֹט.

You have to become His Child

for Him to be your Father av אָב.

You have to be Delivered  

for Him to be your Deliverer משלוח yasha.

You have to be His subject  

for Him to be your King melek מלך

You have to be an indentured slave  

for Him to be your Lord  גְבִיר.

You have to be sanctified/holy  

for Him to be your Sanctifier.

You have to be a worshipper

for Him to be your God.

 

You have to be His follower

for Him to be your Leader

 

You have to be His student

for Him to be your Teacher Rabbi רַב

You have to be His family

for Him to be your brother.

 

You have to be His disciple talmid  

for Him to be your Rabbi.

 

You have to be obedient

for Him to be your guide and director of your steps.

You have to be filled with peace

for Him to be your Sar shalom.

Prince of peace sar shalom סאר שלום

 

You have to be restored

for Him to be your restorer.

The list is extensive.. but the meaning is clear…

Some people only know Him as a concept or an image of an old man figure sitting in the heavens with a long white beard and a big stick waiting to punish us. Such images have marred and distorted the picture of Our Heavenly Father, and this makes Him seem unapproachable.

When Yeshua/Jesus said

if you have seen me you have seen the Father

He is referring to both the visible works He did and the presentation of spiritual characteristics that reflected His Father. We must refrain from assigning our human characteristics, standards and elements to Him, for He is so far above anything we can think or imagine; and we should take care not diminish who He is by making Him like us or bringing Him down to our human level.

Ask Him by His Ruach within us, to order our day and control our thoughts; for the mind controlled by the Ruach/spirit is life and peace/shalom.

To receive this peace/shalom, we must change our position of a grasping controlling self-reliant individual, to one of openness and trust/faith. There is no limit to His presence and peace/shalom. We can never exhaust His provision concerning what is available to those who seek His face. The most persistent choice we have multiple times every day is are we going to choose to trust Him or to worry! We must train ourselves to choose to trust Him no matter what. He is the ever present help in trouble..

shammah שַׁמָּה

In Psalm 46:1-2

we are to

Trust Him

though the earth give way

and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea!

A very pertinent and timely scripture referring to earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, liquefaction of land masses and extreme weather events, such as we are experiencing lately.

In these days we need more than ever before to

KNOW Him and the power

of His resurrection

and to have that

unshakeable and deep rooted

shalom & trust

in the midst of the storm.

Please don’t leave this page before you are certain that you

KNOW Him at least as Savior

then begin the wonderful journey to

know Him and the power of His resurrection

which makes all aspects of a relationship with Him possible. The kingdom of the heavens is within you that’s why He is as close as your breath.

Keep your eyes on Yeshua/Jesus, He truly is the author and finisher of our faith and He will bring all things to completion in His way and timing.

Our focus and goal should not be blessings, peace or joy but just Him, simply for Who He Is

There is limitless expense in Knowing Messiah Yeshua…so

 KNOW and be KNOWN

Philip. 3:10

We are called in Prov. 3:5 to

We are called to

and lean not to our own understanding

To love Him is the 1st commandment.

Our faith is in the measure of our trust in Him.

Who is Yeshua/Jesus to you?

Who is Yehoveh/God the Father to you?

Who is His Spirit of Holiness to you?

Do we know Him as Savior, Healer, Deliverer, Redeemer, Sanctifier, Teacher, Lord, King, Messiah, Shepherd, Great I am/Anochi, and all those on the extensive list? 

We can only know Him in the capacity of the experience we have known Him manifest in our lives in these positions. If He has saved us then we know it beyond any doubt that we know Him and He is our savior and the same is true for any one in the list.

Emmanuel – God with us..

is He with us or have we walked off in another direction?

Have we gone off somewhere on our own WAY? Have we just put Him in a box to be taken out on certain days of the week and for annual celebrations?

Today if we were asked by Messiah the same question He asked Philip what would be our answer?

He is speaking to each one of us right now..

Yes ..you!

Lets ask ourselves, what is the type of relationship that we want to know Him as next. He is our Heavenly Father and we are on our Way home; the more we know of Him the greater the desire in us to be with Him and the less the world has a pull on our lives…

Lets’ keep looking unto Yeshua/Jesus the author and finisher of our faith…if we will let Him!

Shalom shalom

Perfection

תָּמִים.

tamim. taw-meem’

He is your perfection. הוא השלמות שלך.

Strong’s Hebrew: 4359. מִכְלַל (miklal) — completeness 

the word ‘TAH-MEEM’ in no way implies ‘perfection’ in the way that we think of ‘perfection’ in the context of our religious ideas.

The Hebrew word that has been translated “perfect” in Gen. 17:1 is pronounced ‘TAH-MEEM’. 

Strong’s Hebrew: 8549. תָּמִים (tamim) — complete, sound

without blemish, complete, full, perfect, sincerely ity, sound, without spot, undefiled,

From tamam; entire (literally, figuratively or morally); also (as noun) integrity, truth — without blemish, complete, full, perfect, sincerely (-ity), sound, without spot, undefiled, upright(-ly), whole.

He is our perfect sacrificial lamb.

Example

דוגמה

Being a Jew, his Hebrew name would have been שמעון בן יונה (shimon ben yonah).

The name שמעון (shimon, Strong’s #559) means “heard.”

In Mark 3:16 we are told that Yeshua (Jesus) gives Shimon the name Peter (Petros in Greek), a Greek name that has no equivalency in Hebrew.

However, in John 1:42 we are told that his new name is, according to the Greek, Kephas (Cephas), not Petros (Peter). Kephas is a Greek transliteration of the Aramaic name כאפא (Kepha, pronounced kee-phah) meaning “stone.”

And I tell you, that you are Kepha, and upon this rock (kepha) I will build my assembly. (Matthew 16:18

He is Mashiach,

Yeshua,

Jesus,

Messiah…

He is the First and Last,

He is the Keeper of Creation

He is the Creator of the universe and

the Manager of all times.

He always was, He always is, and He always will be…

Unmoved, Unchanged, Undefeated, and never Undone

He was bruised and brought healing

He was pierced and eased pain

He was persecuted and brought freedom

He was dead and brought life

He is risen and brings power

He reigns and brings Peace

The world can’t understand Him,

The armies can’t defeat Him,

The schools can’t explain Him, and

The leaders can’t ignore Him.

Herod couldn’t kill Him,

The Pharisees couldn’t confuse Him, and

The people couldn’t hold Him!

Nero couldn’t crush Him,

No one could silence Him,

The New Age can’t replace Him, and

No one can explain Him away.

He is Light, Love, Longevity, and Lord.

He is Goodness, Kindness,

Gentleness, and full of Mercy.

He is Holy, Righteous, mighty, powerful, and pure.

His Ways are right, His word is Eternal,

His Will is Unchanging, and His mind is on us.

He is my/our Shepherd,

The Honey in the rock

The Staff of Life

He is the Pearl of great price

He is a Rock in a very dry land, gushing the Water of Life

He is the Counselor,

the Comforter,

the Everlasting Father

and the Government of our lives

is upon His Shoulders.

He is Peter’s shadow

Stevens’ signs and wonders

Pauls’ handkerchiefs and aprons

He is the Son of the living God

He is the cup that runneth over.

He is Mashiach Yeshua

Jesus Messiah

YESHUA HAMASHIACH  ישׁוה המשׁיה

As we draw near to Pesach/Passover

let’s take time to reflect on

Who Messiah is to us personally….

As Faith comes by Hearing and Hearing By His Word read the previous list out loud and see what happens…

Is Messiah Found In

The TaNaKH and

Brit Chadashah?

Without doubt the answer is

YES..

however the most important question is …

Is Messiah to be found in our hearts

????

May His true Shalom/Peace

rest upon each one in Jesus/Yeshuas’ Name.

you are greatly loved and prayed for daily..

please make sure you are secure in the knowledge that you are saved….

NOT SURE? YOU CAN BE..

SAY THE FOLLOWING FROM YOUR HEART RIGHT NOW…

Heavenly Father I come to you in the Name of Jesus/Yeshua asking for forgiveness of my sins for which I am truly sorry. I repent of them all and turn away from my past.

I believe with my heart and confess with my mouth that Jesus/Yeshua is your Son and that He died on the cross at calvary to pay the price for my sin, so that I might be forgiven and have eternal life in the kingdom of Heaven. Father I believe that Jesus/Yeshua rose from the dead and I ask you to come into my life right now and be my personal Savior and Lord and I will worship you all the days of my life. Because your word is truth I say that I am now forgiven and born again and by faith I am washed clean with the blood of Jesus/Yeshua. Thank you that you have accepted me into your family in Jesus’/Yeshua’s name. Amen.
