How Many Ways Are There?

We are all familiar with Messiahs own words:

I AM the WAY the TRUTH and the LIFE.

In Hebrew it’s

Ha Derek ha emet ha chaim.

We know Yeshua/Jesus is Truth/Emet because God’s Word is the Truth and He is the Word made flesh and the One Who dwelt among us (John 1:14) and He is the Life/chaim. Eternal life in the spirit, everlasting life from above, from the Father through Yeshua/Jesus and no man comes to the Father but by Me. John 14:6

What about THE WAY? What does that mean?

We can understand truth and apply that to our lives by doing what the scriptures tell us to do in obedience and faithfulness.

We can believe for everlasting life through Yeshua/Jesus sacrificial death and resurrection. By faith in the Son of God who gave His life a ransom for many. Galatians 2:20

How do we describe the Way and

how do we apply that to our lives?

The term WAY was a popular turn of phrase used to describe believers in, and followers of Messiah long before they were called Christians in Antioch. Acts 11:25-30

In fact the WAY is used more than 50x in the Hebrew scriptures and 12x in the Brit Chadashah/New Testament. The first time was in Genesis 18:19 in a reference to a walk, a halakah with the Lord God. Abraham I know him and they will keep the WAY of the Lord.

What a challenge to each of us! Can that be said of us? The Lord knows us also are we keeping the way of the Lord?

It was also in Genesis 3:24 at the entrance to Eden.

In Acts 9:2 …who were of the Way …haderek

and asked letters from him to the synagogues of Damascus, so that if he found any who were of the Way, whether men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.

The WAY refers to those who are totally committed to God it is those who walk with Him continually not just one or 2 days a week or when its convenient. It’s a total life style change, completely changing priorities by laying aside our plans, goals, methods and ways of doing things; and instead putting the Lord and His WAY first.

There are many other WAYS described in the scriptures and looking at these will help us to know what His way is, and also which ways are not our Heavenly Fathers ways.

The WAY of life the path to life. Proverbs 2:19

The WAY of death.. 

all sin when it is full brings forth death.

James 1:15

Romans 6:23. the wages of sin is death.

The WAY of sin is by giving in to the evil inclination of the old man and the lusts and ungodly desires of the flesh. To satisfy cravings which can lead to addictions and obsessions in the form of lures, traps and snares. 2Timothy 2:26. snare of the devil being taken captive a prisoner and slave.

We are to pray that they come to their senses and escape.

Genesis 3:14-20 The WAY of Cain is one that leads to murder; it’s a road from jealousy, to hate, to anger which can lead to murder. This is a warning of not being self absorbed and selfish and only thinking of, what we want in the way that we want it and think that it should be.

“The WAY of Cain” refers to

Genesis 4:16:

Then Cain went out from the presence of the Lord,

and settled in the land of Nod, east of Eden. 

The WAY of Balaam is a description and example of cursing what is good for monetary gain. Balaam tried to go against the will of God. 

 

The WAY of the world and its’ systems, which are under control of the adversary or he couldn’t have offered them to Jesus/Yeshua. And he said to him, “I will give you all their authority and splendor; it has been given to me, and I can give it to anyone I want to.

Luke 4:6

Korah (Korach) was the leader of a rebellion against Moses and his brother Aaron, during the journey of the Israelites from Egypt to the Land of Israel. As punishment, he met his end by miraculously being swallowed up by the earth. His story is told in the Book of Numbers.

Korah was a great-grandson of Levi, the third of Jacob’s twelve sons, and a first cousin to Moses and Aaron, the Jewish leader and High Priest, respectively. 

Korah was born in Egypt,2 at the time when the Jews were enslaved to King Pharaoh. He experienced the miraculous Exodus from Egypt and journey through the Red Sea on dry land, and received the Torah at Mount Sinai along with the rest of his brethren.

Korah was extremely wealthy, and was a clever and astute individual. His status as a member of the Levite tribe enabled him to participate in the service in the Mishkan, the portable sanctuary the Jews carried with them throughout their journey to the Promised Land. 

Despite, and because of, his many qualities, he felt able to take a stand against Moses and Aaron, which ultimately led to his downfall.

The rebellion of Korah demonstrates the serious consequences of usurping the authority of God and of those whom He has chosen to be leaders of His people.

 Jude 1:11 Woe to them! They have taken the way of Cain; they have rushed for profit into Balaam’s error; they have been destroyed in Korah’s rebellion.

The WAY of light from the first, let there be light, spiritual light not physical light. God was separating light from darkness before He created the sun, moon and stars. In Him there is no darkness. 1 John 1:5 This is the message [of God’s promised revelation] which we have heard from Him and now announce to you, that God is Light [He is holy, His message is truthful, He is perfect 

and John 1:1-4 In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.

which is adhering to the truth.

The path in Proverbs 4:18 is the one that gets ever brighter as we walk it correctly.

The WAY of honesty, walking in truth and not defrauding others. God hates the false balance.

Proverbs 2:13 those who leave the paths of honesty to walk the ways of darkness.

Proverbs 10:29 The WAY of Adonai is a stronghold to the upright but ruin to those who do evil.

The WAY of darkness where promises of fame, fortune, power, influence and control can tempt people, luring them into dark ways to get what they want. It causes the drive to fulfilling all the lusts and desires of the carnal, unregenerate, human psyche which began in eden. The lust of the eyes. the desire for knowledge and wisdom to be like God, and the pride of life; they never change and are powerful means of causing humanity to walk along the wrong way.

The WAY of compromise, toying with options and playing with fire. Can a man take fire in his bosom and not be burned? Prov.6:27. Those who compromise paddle in the shallows of sin, and over time are swept away in the tides of temptations.

The WAY of good people. Prov. 2:20 and paths of the righteous. This WAY is taken by those who lay down their life to obey the Lord because they love Him, and understand the price that was paid for our forgiveness and salvation. They have counted the cost, and count not their lives unto death as something to withhold from the one who died in their place.

The WAY of evildoers, Proverbs 4. Those with no desire to follow God, the tares we encounter in life, those whose names are not written in the Lambs book of life. Matthew 13:24-30.

Those who sometimes appear to be His, yet He will say to them I never knew you. Matt.7:21-23. That means they were never His in the first place.

Those of the serpents seed as clarified in Genesis 3:15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman and between thy seed and her seed, 

The straight and narrow WAY, this is the way that Messiah said, there are few that find it, and yet we are to strive to enter in through that narrow way. Straight is the gate and this is the only WAY to the Father through Messiah, sadly many do not agree with this truth. It is a fact that it does not matter what we choose to believe, it will never change or alter what is the absolute truth.

“Enter through the narrow gate…But the gate is narrow and the way is difficult that leads to life, and there are few who find it. Matthew 7:13-14.

13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:

14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

The BroadWAY is wide and many there are that walk along that WAY and it is not strange that the famous place of entertainment, acting, fantasy and theatre is called BROADWAY – the one that leads to destruction.

Solomon reflects on things amazing to Him in

the way of an eagle, a serpent and a ship on the sea.

 Proverbs 30:19 KJV The way of an eagle in the air; The way of a serpent upon a rock; The way of a ship in the midst of the sea; 

God has given us the power of freewill choice, to choose which WAY we will walk; and yet He also gives us the answer, choose this day whom you will serve and choose life.

Today is the day of salvation, today is the day to choose life, there are always going to be daily choices, which one will we commit to? Only one WAY leads to life/chaim. By applying the guidelines all through the scriptures, we can become not only His children and not only believers, followers and servants; but we can become His disciples and those He calls His friends.

All these are rooted in the spiritual laws that are eternal in nature and yet are invisible to humanity but like the wind that we cannot see, we can see the results of its influence. The fruit of our actions in life will be visible to everyone and the spiritual doors we leave open in our lives can give opportunity to unclean spirits. These will not wait for an invitation but take advantage of our weaknesses and long to steal, kill and destroy our lives;. They will ultimately draw us away from the kingdom of light, love and life; and condemn us to the kingdom of darkness, hate and spiritual death, which is eternal separation from our heavenly father.

If we will place our trust in Him, He is the One Who is able to keep us from falling, Jude 1:24, we must simply keep our eyes on Him and He promises to help us when we cry out to Him.

He will not leave us or forsake us…. Ever!

The following song by Phil Wickham was to have been included in last weeks post: the Guardian in our Refiners Fire. Although titled: ‘It’s Always Been You’, the lyrics include the words My guardian was always You. As our Guardian, He is always there, sometimes ahead of us leading the way, sometimes walking with us along the way, and sometimes behind us saying:

And thy ears shall hear the word of one admonishing thee behind thy back: This is the way, walk ye in it: and go not aside neither to the right hand, nor to the left. Isaiah 30:21

Don’t pass the point of no return….

because there are many WAYS to choose daily.

Stay on the narrow WAY...

the only WAY…

Shalom aleikhem

chaverim and mishpachah!

Peace to friends and family.

Shavua Tov, Have a blessed week.

The Guardian In Our Refiners Fire.

The Word of God tells us

He is our protection

and that

He takes care of us.

Psalms 121:5-8  The LORD is your guardian; the LORD is your shade at your right hand. By day the sun will not strike you, nor the moon by night. The LORD will guard you from all evil; he will guard your soul. The LORD will guard your coming and going both now and forever. Nabre KJV NIV NLT NKJV ESV.

Some translations use the word protector,

some say keeper,

some say guardian and others preserver.

This word guardian is one we often use for a person who protects another, or is given legal responsibility over another.

To guard or a guard, a watchman meaning:

someone or something that guards to a legal custodian of a minor or property.

Psalm 121:5 The Lord is your Guardian; the Lord is your shadow; [He is] by your right hand. ה יְהֹוָ֥ה שֹֽׁמְרֶ֑ךָ יְהֹוָ֥ה צִ֜לְּךָ֗ עַל־יַ֥ד יְמִינֶֽךָ: 6 By day, the sun will not smite you, nor will the moon at night.

7778. shoer

Strong’s Concordance

shoer: a gatekeeper

Original Word: שׁוֹעֵר
Transliteration: shoer
Phonetic Spelling: (sho-are’)
Definition: a gatekeeper

Psalm 121 is a treasure of promise for any believer going through suffering or a crisis in life, whose

“help comes from the Lord ” (verse 2).

In verses 1–2, the psalmist gives glory to the Lord for His guardianship, then he gives assurance to others in verses 3–8. First declaring the nature of God in His role as guarding us in verse 3–4: “He will not let your foot be moved; he who keeps you will not slumber. Behold, he who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.”

In the other 4 times this is written in scripture its at a point where someone who is, or is anticipated by being, overcome by divine judgment, for example in Deuteronomy 32:35.

Then in Psalm 38:16,17 for personal sin or weakness or for enemy oppression as in Psalm 66:9; 94:18. When he said, “He will not allow your foot to slip,” he was probably speaking of the perseverance of the saints.

We need to remember that the psalmist is not promising the absence of pain or that we won’t fail. He is however, promising that, in the middle of the storms of adversity, His children will be protected; not because of their own doing, but because of the preserving hand of the grace and mercy of our Heavenly Father.

We are assured in John 10:27-30 that No one can snatch His sheep out of His hand, and the One who has justified us will never again condemn us according to Romans 8:33–34.

This is a promise we can count on!

And is the confidence we have in Him that today that we will remain with Him. This promise is consistent and unchanging. He is with us always. For us it is always today, however for our Guardian Father, He has seen all our tomorrows and has already made provision for us in them; and all we have to do is follow in His footsteps.

All that remains for us to do is to thank Him, remain totally dependent on Him and humbly ask for His grace to sustain us.

Together with ensuring our perseverance, in the first part of verse 3, our Heavenly Father’s guardianship also means He is constantly watching over our souls (verses 3b–4).

The Hebrew words in verse 4 suggest:

a development from that which goes before it.

In contrast the words in verse 3 imply

“your Guardian” will not slumber now,

verse 4 stresses

“Israel’s Guardian” will never slumber nor sleep.

In Psalm 127:2 we are assured that God “gives to his beloved sleep”, and we are able to rest only because we know God never does. Isaiah 40:28 declares “The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary”. Your Heavenly Father the Creator of the Universe is always awake, always aware, and always watching over His children as our Guardian.

We are not to put our hope in ourselves today, or at any time; if it were not for the Lord, we would surely stumble, slip and fall.

It is because of His ever-sustaining mercy, our faith will remain. We have His promise in Psalm 94:16–18: “Who stands up for me against evil doers? If Yahweh had not been my help, my soul would soon have lived in the land of silence. When I thought, ‘My foot slips,’ your steadfast love, O Yahweh, held me up.” 

We are sustained by the steadfast love of the Lord. It never ceases but it is renewed every dawn. Lamentations 3:22–23. 

The days in which we are living are stressful to put it mildly. Many are facing issues that were un-thought of even just a few years ago.

Whether our sleepless nights are filled with pain, tears and prayers or caring for children and maybe the sick and elderly, God is with us to provide all the energy and grace we need. The key is, don’t forget Him but look to Him at any moment in our hour of need, day or night.

God’s your Guardian,
    right at your side to protect you—
Shielding you from sunstroke,
    sheltering you from moonstroke.

7-8 God guards you from every evil,
    he guards your very life.
He guards you when you leave and when you return,
    he guards you now, he guards you always.

Our Heavenly Father’s guardianship means that He ensures our perseverance as well as our protection. He constantly watches over His own through all the fiery trials we will encounter. Peter encourages us in 1Peter 4:12,13. To think it not strange….

A great example for us is:

The 3 Hebrew children in the fiery furnace.

The three Jewish men refuse and express confidence that God will save them from the furnace, but even if He does not, they will still not worship the gods of Babylon.

They defied the king’s command and were willing to die rather than serve or worship any god except their own God.

29 Therefore, I make this decree: If any people, whatever their race or nation or language, speak a word against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, they will be torn limb from limb, and their houses will be turned into heaps of rubble.

In those days there was a requirement of self sacrifice among the Hebrew/Jewish people. There are three sins for which one is always required to die rather than transgress: idolatry, sexual misconduct such as incest, adultery, homosexuality, or bestiality and murder It was called

Yehareg ve’al ya’avor (“Let him be killed rather than transgress”)

refers to the requirement to give one’s life rather than transgress a law. Although ordinarily one is permitted to transgress halakha when a life is in danger, certain situations require one to give one’s life.

This is why they seemed undismayed to go through this trial. Their faith was strong in that they knew the Lord would protect them according to His plan for them as they were being obedient to those laws. One thing is certain the 4th figure in the furnace was their guardian in the refiners fire.

Daniel 3:16-28

25 He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.

Many think it was the pre-incarnate Messiah and others the angel Gabriel??

28 Then Nebuchadnezzar spake, and said, Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who hath sent his angel, and delivered his servants that trusted in him…Whoever it was, the protection of a heavenly spiritual guardian could be seen by everyone!

We are tried by fiery trials to see if our faith in Him is built on the right foundation.

God never once promised we would be without difficulties, in fact, Yeshua/Jesus promised we would have trials in this life: “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world” John 16:33.

What fiery furnace are we faced with?

What refining fire is trying us?

Family relationships, a tough marriage?

Perhaps a job loss or the passing of a loved one, or so many other issues we all face.

We may not be threatened by a furnace or required to give our physical lives before bowing to a foreign god and/or denying our Messiah Yeshua/Jesus. But sometimes the trials and testings of our faith can many times seem like they will be more than we can handle. However we must not give up because the word says in 1 Corinthians 10:13-16  Every test that you have experienced is the kind that normally comes to people. But God keeps his promise, and he will not allow you to be tested beyond your power to remain firm; at the time you are put to the test, he will give you the strength to endure it, and so provide you with a way out.

And when we endure we can say with Job, when I am tried I will come forth as gold. Job 23:10.

The guardian of our lives will never leave us nor forsake us

and the trial will not be greater than we can bear.

There are always more with us than there are against us just as Elisha showed Gehazi in

2 Kings 6:16 “Do not be afraid,” Elisha answered, “for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.”

The angels are always around us on assignment from

the guardian of our souls,

we just don’t always see them with our physical eyes but …

they are there.

He is the guardian in our refining fire.

the walk, the journey through life of faith and obedience as a follower/disciple of our Heavenly Father and His Messiah; walking through life with a divinely inspired purpose.

Close in meaning to the word halakah, also spelled halakhah.

Isaiah 30:21: “And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when you turn to the right hand, and when you turn to the left.”

It comes from the root word halak and has a feminine ending, with the idea of nurturing, loving and caring.

It literally means:

the way to walk or the way to behave.

Many rabbis often referred to it as the law/instruction. This is because it is believed to be derived from an old Akkadian word

iku, which means; a property tax

and the Aramaic halak, where it means: an obligation.

We are to understand that this is more than taking a casual stroll, it’s speaking of the way in which we are obligated to live our lives. This is a reason the Jews have adopted this word halak and now associate it with the Torah and the 613 commandments; because it’s in the Torah/instruction, that we are taught the godly way to live.

One example is in Matthew 5:41 

and another is

Matthew 28:10

But possibly the one we are most familiar with is the

GO and make disciples of all nations…

Matthew 28:19

however there are other times Messiah said GO.

These were all spoken to His disciples and if we are also His disciples/talmidim then these GO’s are also for us.

There is the GO of Reconciliation. If you bring your gift to the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you…It’s not saying if we are to search and find something because of our unbalanced sensitivity, but rather if you remember …in other words if something is brought to our conscious mind by the Spirit of our Heavenly Father in us. First GO, be reconciled to your brother and then come and offer your gift.

Matthew 5:23,24

 We are not ever to raise an objection to the sensitivity of the Holy Spirit of our Heavenly Father in us when He is instructing us concerning a situation because He will point out that which needs our attention, right down to the smallest detail.

First be reconciled to your brother/sister. Our Lords directive is simple First be reconciled… He says in effect GO back the way you came- the way indicated to us by the conviction given to us at the altar. We are to have an attitude in our mind and soul toward the person who has something against us, that makes reconciliation as natural as breathing. Jesus/Yeshua does not mention the other person. He says for us to GO. It’s not a matter of our rights. The true mark of His children is that they can waive their own rights and obey the Lord.

And then come and offer your gift. The process of reconciliation is clearly marked. First we have the reaction of self sacrifice followed by a sudden restraint as we are stopped at the point of our conviction by the sensitivity of the Holy Spirit.

Then this is followed by obedience to the Word of God which builds an attitude, or state of mind, that places no blame on the one with whom we have been in the wrong; and finally there is the simple unhindered offering of our gift to the Father. We are to be reconciled to our brothers and sister in Messiah as well as to our Heavenly Father which is an essential part of the Gospel we are to share with the world.

Even though we once regarded Christ according to the flesh, we regard him thus no longer. 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation.[ a]The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. 18 All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation; 19 that is, in Christ God was reconciling[ b] the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation. 2 Cor.  5:11-20

The GO of Renunciation:

Someone said to him lord I will follow you wherever you go.

Our Lords’ attitude toward this man was one of severe discouragement, for He knew what was in man. John 2:25

We would have possibly thought or even said, I can’t understand why you missed the opportunity of winning that man by being so cold to him and turning him away so discouraged.

We must never apologize for the Lord, or question why He deals with individuals the way He does. The words of our Lord sometimes hurt and offend, until there is nothing left to be hurt or offended. Doesn’t this fly in the face of popular images of ‘gentle Jesus meek and mlld’, Who is all loving and forgiving?

We need to understand this ‘God kind of love’; Messiah had no tenderness whatsoever toward anything that was ultimately going to ruin a person in his service to God, or cause them to ultimately lose their souls. Messiah’s answers were not based on some whim or impulsive thought, but on the knowledge of what was in man. Words are cheap, people can say all manner of offers, promises and even quote copious amounts of scripture, sounding very spiritual, however the Lord looks at the heart, the inward person. He knows each one of us, intimately. No one fools Him.

If the Holy Spirit of our Heavenly Father brings to our minds a word of the Lord that hurts us, we can be sure that there is something in us that He wants to hurt to the point of its’ death! It’s part of the process of crucifying that ugly flesh, our carnal old man.

Luke 9:57,58 These words destroy the argument of serving Messiah Jesus Christ/Yeshua HaMashiach because it is a pleasant, lovely and easy thing to do! It is not and we need to stop telling new converts that all their problems will now vanish because it is not the truth. The strictness of the rejection that He demands of us, allows for nothing to remain in our lives but Him, our Savior and Lord, ourselves, and a sense of the desperate need for forgiveness, reconciliation and eternal unity with Him.

He says that we must let everyone else come and go, and that we must be guided solely by our relationship to Him and He says the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head. He wanted and needed nothing that this world offers, He was not putting down roots or building a life here but simply passing through; and it would help us greatly to remember, that the same is true for us.

Luke 9:59. This man did not want to disappoint Jesus/Yeshua, nor did he want to show a lack of respect for his natural earthly father. Many times we put our sense of loyalty to our relatives ahead of our loyalty to Messiah Jesus Christ/Yeshua Ha Mashiach, forcing Him to take last place. When our loyalties conflict, we should always obey Jesus/Yeshua whatever the cost. This is not what people want to hear but anything else is self-centered and rooted in what we want and prefer for our lives. We compromise and choose which parts of His Gospel we like and leave what is not convenient. He sees and knows….

Luke 9:61. the person who says

Lord I will follow you but….

This individual Is the one who is intensely ready to GO, but never goes and this man in the story had reservations about going. The exacting call of Messiah has no room for goodbyes; goodbyes as we often use them are ‘pagan’ not ‘Christian,’ because they divert us from the call. Once the call of God to GO for Him comes to us, start GO-ing and never stop.

The GO of Unconditional Identification.

Mark 10:21 Jesus said to him one thing you lack go your way sell whatever you have and give to the poor and come, take up the cross and follow me.

The rich young ruler had the controlling passion to be perfect. When he saw Messiah he wanted to be like him. Messiah never places anyone’s personal holiness above everything else when He calls a disciple. Jesus/Yeshua’s primary consideration is our absolute annihilation of our right to ourselves; and our identification with Him. Which means having a relationship separate with Him in which there are no other relationships.

Luke 14:26 has little if anything to do with salvation or sanctification. But rather deals solely with unconditional identification with Messiah Yeshua HaMashiach/Jesus Christ. Very few of us truly know what is meant by the absolute GO of unconditional identification with, complete abandonment and total surrender to Jesus/Yeshua.

Then Jesus looking at him loved him. Mark 10:21.

This look of Jesus/Yeshua will require breaking our hearts away forever from allegiance to any other person or thing.

Has Yeshua/Jesus ever looked this way at you?

This look of Messiah’s transforms, penetrates, and captivates. Where we are soft and pliable with Him is where He has looked at us. If we are hard and vindictive, insisting on having our own way always certain that the other person is more likely to be in the wrong than we are, then there are whole areas of our nature that have never been transformed by His gaze.

One thing you lack, from Messiah’s perspective oneness with Him with nothing in between is the only good thing.

Sell what ever you have.. We must humble ourselves until we are merely a living person. He is not saying we can’t have things, just that the things/possessions don’t have us! We must essentially renounce possessions of all kinds, that is, that our trust is not in them. This renunciation is not required for salvation, but it is to follow Jesus/Yeshua, because only one thing saves a person and that is absolute reliance in faith upon Messiah Jesus Christ/Yeshua HaMashiach and His shed blood. 

Come and follow me…

and the narrow way is the way He went.

GO into all the world and preach the gospel. The gospel of His Kingdom, the Kingdom of the Heavens, not an earthly kingdom. It’s the gospel of Shalom/Peace, of reconciliation. It is good news to all who hear it because following repentance of our sins, it offers forgiveness of those sins and restoration into relationship with our Heavenly Father. It’s the offer of eternal life, of being born again from above by the Holy Spirit of the living Creator God of the universe. It is the fulfillment of prophecy that Messiah has come to be the perfect sacrifice. He is the propitiation for our sin. The One Who came to take our place and that His blood covered our sins once for all time. He has paid the price for our salvation, deliverance and new life in Him. The life we now live by faith in the Son of God.

Obedience is the twin of GO, it’s the spiritual rule to follow if we truly want to acquire spiritual understanding, and if we desire knowledge and insight into Messiahs teachings we can only obtain it through obedience. Intellectual curiosity is the guide for those who want scientific knowledge.

If spiritual things seem dark and hidden to us, then we can consider ourselves advised that there is a point of disobedience somewhere in our lives. Intellectual darkness is the result of ignorance, however spiritual darkness is the result of something that we don’t intend to obey; thinking in our hearts that He will understand, like we somehow get a special pass in that area.

No one ever receives a word from our Heavenly Father without immediately being put to the test concerning it. We disobey and then wonder why we’re not growing spiritually. As Yeshua/Jesus said and already noted previously in Matt. 5:23-24 if you bring your gift……First GO…

Isn’t He really telling us to not say another word to Him until we are first being obedient by making things right? Messiah’s teachings always hit us right where we are, straight to the point. We cannot stand in front of Him for even a second if we are in any way false. He always gives us instructions down to the very last detail. The Spirit of our Heavenly Father reveals our spirit of self-vindication, together with our defensive excuses and makes us sensitively aware of things that we have never even thought of previously.

When Messiah makes a very serious indication to us through His Word of something we need to address, we must not try to avoid it because if we do, we’ll become a religious phony.

We will know why we are not growing spiritually when we examine the things we tend to simply shrug our shoulders about, because it is usually where we have refused to be obedient; and obedience is the golden key to spiritual maturity.

Just as Messiah said, first Go, for each of us, even at the risk of being thought of as fanatical, we must obey what He tells us.

If we have ever heard Him say to us

GO

Why are we hesitating?

Why are we ignoring His command?

Why are we making. excuses?

Let’s GO and DO

whatever it is that He is asking of us.

All He is looking for are those with

willing, obedient, servant hearts.

He is the power in us to fulfill what we need to

GO!

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, Deliverer 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.

Truth & The End of Days

Messiah said: the truth will make you free, many translate it as: set you free. The word make, is constructive in making a change; whereas set free, describes more of a release from bondage. When we ‘make’ something, there is construction and the result is change.

In Hebrew, the word for truth, emet (אֱמֶת), contains the first, middle, and the last letter of the Hebrew alphabet,

Alef Mem Tav,

indicating that truth encompasses all things and endures from the beginning to the end and everything in-between.

Messiah not only effects freedom from the bondage of sin and death but also causes a change in us making us a new creation in Him.

Truth is not based upon or proved on facts.

Facts are not always Truth – emet – אֱמֶת .

Messiah said: I AM the way the truth and the life. (Derek Emet Chaim.) The words of the Father, Messiah and Their Spirit of Holiness are Truth. Ruach haKodesh is the spirit of truth. The Father is truth, Yeshua His only begotten son is the truth; He is also the Derek-Way and the Chaim – lifes.

What is really behind the changes in our weather patterns and the extreme swings we are seeing world-wide? It is by our Heavenly Father’s decrees, He is in control of everything because this is His creation. Science gives answers which are not our Fathers TRUTHS.

The only motive of this post is to give readers an opportunity to think, to encourage readers to look at some recorded historical information; and to confirm by their own personal research and/ or inner conviction by His Holy Spirit, that much of what we have been told for centuries and in some cases thousands of years is not the ‘whole truth and nothing but the truth’.

The signs of the end times are found in scripture particularly Matthew 24 and also in Mark 13:1–8; Luke 21:5–9, and from physical evidence all around us it is a 99.9% certainty that we are in the closing moments of the age of grace/ age of the church, the ecclesia.

The time of the end, the latter days.

The Greek phrase “in the last days” (ἐν ἐσχάταις ἡμέραις) refers to the prophesied “End of Days,” sometimes called acharit ha-yamim (אַחֲרִית הַיָּמִים) in Hebrew.

Strong’s Hebrew: 319.

אַחֲרִית (acharith) — the after-part, end

The key word, ‘

acharith

is a synonym for a bright future.

It means ‘hatikva,’ – hope,

The Bible has given us signs, and prophecy

to let us know the time of the end or,

the last days or, latter days, are upon us.

Also called Jacobs trouble and tribulation, and other terms that apply to the timeline. Whether months, weeks, days and seasons that unfold just prior to Messiah being told by His Father to bring a final conclusion to this age. And only the Father knows, and we must not be deceived by those who are giving dates or speak of being raptured and taken out of it all. We are to endure to the end, Matt. 24:13-15

36No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son,g but only the Father. 37As it was in the days of Noah, so will it be at the coming of the Son of Man. 38For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark.39And they were oblivious, until the flood came and swept them all away. So will it be at the coming of the Son of Man. 40Two men will be in the field: one will be taken and the other left. 41Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and the other left.

42Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day on which your Lord will come. 43But understand this: If the homeowner had known in which watch of the night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. 44For this reason, you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour you do not expect.

45Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom the master has put in charge of his household, to give the others their food at the proper time? 46Blessed is that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns. 47Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions.

48But suppose that servant is wicked and says in his heart, ‘My master will be away a long time.’ 49And he begins to beat his fellow servants and to eat and drink with drunkards. 50The master of that servant will come on a day he does not expect and at an hour he does not anticipate. 51Then he will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

The scriptures only speak of Messiah coming back one time. The verses in 1 Thess. 16-17 says that the dead in Christ are raised first and those who are alive when that happens are changed in the twinkling of an eye are caught up to meet Him in the air.

But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. 14For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. 15For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. 16For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 18Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

Then judgment falls on those not changed.

We are not to be looking for an easy exit we are to

endure to the end, having done all to stand firm in the faith.

And only our Heavenly Father knows when that is.

The signs symbols and seasons are also clear, there will be a great falling away and the wicked one will be revealed first.

Then the lawless one will be revealed and the Lord Jesus will slay him with the breath of His mouth and bring him to an end by the appearance of His coming. 2Thess. 2:8

So we will know who he is and we don’t have to waste time looking for him or guessing who it may be. Clearly we will know without a doubt. Secondly we will still be here on earth when he is revealed that is how we will know who it is. The whole pre, mid, or post tribulation is a divisive diversion from scriptural events and if we are focusing on them and which one it is, we are focusing on the wrong things.

We are to be about our Fathers business and to occupy til He comes. Sharing His good news making disciples, who will in turn share the good news and make more disciples. Feed the hungry etc., do what Messiah Yeshua/Jesus taught us to do. The days prior to His return, (not plural, returns,) are clearly detailed as to what the world will be like, what people will be like, and what physical events in the earth will be like.

2Tim.3:1-5  This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.

2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,

4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;

5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

The earth is groaning and we see it in the increase in earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and weather extremes. The earth is responding to the weight of sin and is filled with violence which occupies humanities days. Messiah’s own words told us clearly what it will be like and so did Isaiah in chapter 24:20 KJV: The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it; and it shall fall, and not rise again.

The earth shall stagger like a drunken man, and shall sway to and fro like a hammock; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it, and it shall fall, and not rise again. – ASV

There are other references as well as those in Matthew, Mark, Luke, and Revelation, they are also in Joel Zechariah Daniel and Ezekiel….

It’s not a secret, it is not hidden, it’s plain and clear and detailed and it is going to be worse than anything that has happened before this time or ever will be again…In Messiahs words:

Matthew 24:21 For at that time there will be great tribulation, unmatched from the beginning of the world until now, and never to be seen again. 22 If those days had not been cut short, nobody would be saved.

In John 16:33 Jesus said in this world you will have tribulation it started 2000 years ago, we were all born into tribulation.

In the world you have tribulation and distress and suffering, but be courageous [be confident, be undaunted, be filled with joy]; I have overcome the world.” [My conquest is accomplished, 

When John wrote in Revelation 6 of Messiah opening the first 4 seals, revealing the 4 horsemen of conqueror, war, famine, death and hell, today it would seem that they are already riding. There is no doubt there has been no peace in the world, with war after war; then famine and poverty has followed with death and hell right on their heels. These have all increased in intensity and as Messiah said in Luke 21:28 when you see all these things begin to come to pass (all at the same time), look up for your redemption draws near. He also said the generation that sees this happening will not pass until all has been fulfilled.

Matt 24:34 and Luke21:32 and Mark 13:30 The generation of people who see the signs – the trials: and final, hard labor pains – described in the previous verses that we know as the Tribulation. That “generation will by no means pass away till all [the things Jesus just discussed] take place.” Everything Jesus prophesied of in the chapter will occur within one generation.

Just as in the days of Noah and Lot, God intervened. He is the same yesterday today and forever and the day of reckoning is upon us; He is near even at the door.

The generation that saw the budding of the fig tree, Israel become a nation in a day 1948 will not pass. Those who remember the rebirth of Israel as a nation are in their mid 80’s and would have had to be old enough to understand what was happening.The age of the days of Grace are coming to an end and as the number of the gentiles to come into the kingdom of God is quickly being fulfilled, 

For salvation (final deliverance) is nearer to us now than when we first believed (adhered to, trusted in, and relied on Christ, the Messiah). Romans 13:11

 

 “The times of the Gentiles” is the biblical designation for a period of time beginning with the Babylonian Captivity (606 BC in which non-Jews have dominion over the world. This extends from the Babylonian conquest of Jerusalem and will end with the physical return of Messiah.

Our focus should be on reaching those who are lost and most importantly making certain our life is right before our Heavenly Father. Not putting off until tomorrow what we can do today . Forgiving everyone of wrongs done to us and seeking forgiveness ourselves. Walking in faith covered by the precious blood of our Lord and Savior Yeshua haMashiach, Jesus Christ. Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith.

Our Father must have overcomers for these closing moments, we are here and we are to endure to the end. It doesn’t sound too happy a time. It is easy for us to imagine that we will suddenly come to a point in our lives where we are fully prepared, but preparation is not suddenly accomplished. In fact it is a process that must be steadily maintained. It is dangerous to become settled and complacent in our present level of experience. The walk along the narrow way requires preparation and more preparation.

Messiah’s teaching can be summarized like this: the relationship He demands of us is an impossible one unless He has done a supernatural work in us. He demands that His disciples do not allow even the slightest trace of resentment in their hearts when faced with abuse, control and injustice. No amount of enthusiasm will ever stand up to the strain that Messiah will allow upon His servants. The only thing that will be able to bear the strain is a personal relationship with Him. One that has been examined, purified, tested and tried; until only one purpose remains and we can truly say, I am here for God to send me where He chooses.

The sermon on the mount is not unattainable because it’s a statement of what will happen in us when Messiah has changed our nature. He is the only one who can fulfill the sermon on the mount. It is a supernatural work and we cannot do it, we simply yield to Him to work in us according to His good pleasure. It is completed in Galatians 5:20 If we have been crucified with Christ then our selfish desires are also dead, and we must read this carefully ….the life that I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the son of God who loved me and gave Himself for me. His new life will become ours in direct proportion to our success in emptying our hearts of self-will, and we have to do that, we have to will it, He will not force us to be an overcomer, it’s our choice.

The time to get ready is NOW, today, before we face hard situations, not when those situations take us by surprise. We are not to be off guard but ready spiritually. We are to show forth the fruit of His spirit which cannot be produced by the carnal nature of man, only by the spirit of the living God within. We can’t suppress evil by ourselves we need His help to be delivered and to kill the old nature, to crucify it daily.

When His divine life is operating in our human heart it creates the fruit of the spirit. His spirit within us is manifest as we get out of the way. Love, joy and peace were natural to Messiah but are foreign to mans’ fallen nature. We will never produce them by speaking to suppress evil emotion. He brings them forth as we allow Him to live in us from our innermost being. His truth will make us free and will support and increase the measure of faith imparted to us.

We must not deny the truth of the word by preferring our own interpretation because there is no natural or political solution to a problem with a spiritual root. The situation will not change until our Father decrees it is time for Him to step onto the scene. We need to stop looking for an easy life of compromise, an easy and painless exit with our ticket to heaven and no effort on our part; and with no real understanding of the cost of our salvation and the price that was paid in Messiahs blood. It’s time to count the cost for those who are called by His name. John said in 1John 2:18-23

18 Little children, it is the last hour; and as you have heard that the Antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come, by which we know that it is the last hour. That was over 2000 years ago, now we are in the last seconds, be ready spiritually, be prepared mentally for the days that are ahead. Read Matthew 24, Luke21:32 and Mark 13:30 for the details of the things which are already happening to the earth. Read the verses and then watch the news reports, we are right there.

Romans 8:22 says that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth since the fall of mankind.

Time will prove all things. And His emet/truth alone will remain. Always remember His promises because we have a glorious future.

There will be a new heaven, a new earth. There will be no more pain, no more tears for those who accept Jesus as Lord. The earth will be new and sin will no longer have its dominion over us.

Only one life soon is past, only what’s done for Christ will last.

Whatever we choose to believe we need to be ready at any moment. He told us to stay alert, to watch and pray,

Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is. Mark 11:33.

because the Son of Man will come at an hour you do not expect

and the moment of your personal

‘catching away’ may be today.

Don’t be caught off guard!
