EVERY BODY AIN’T CRAZY. THERE ARE SOME WHO DESIRE TRUTH.

Jeremiah 23:1 –Jeremiah 23:4 KJV
Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! saith YHWH.

Therefore thus saith the YHWH the Elohim of Israel against the pastors that feed my people; Ye have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited them: behold, I will visit upon you the evil of your doings, saith YHWH.
And I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all countries whither I have driven them, and will bring them again to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and increase.
And I will set up shepherds over them which shall feed them: and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall they be lacking, saith YHWH.

TRUTH IS WHAT MAKES MEN FREE! GET IT! LIVE IT! LOVE IT!

There is nothing the Father expects from us which he has not done already by example.
This is the true meaning of leadership; setting the example first and then expecting others to follow that example. Leadership is not making demands and exercising unjust authority over people in an effort to get them to do what you want. Leadership is about service not domination.

Matthew 20:25 –Matthew 20:28 KJV
But Yahushua called them unto him, and said, Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them.
But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister;
And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant:
Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.

I was sitting here this morning thinking about Love, and Faith in particular. Those two words are not nouns, but they are verbs; words that are actions. Love and Faith are not some special word service you give, or some emotional fits you experience. They are words that require corresponding actions. Faith and Love work together. They are not stand alone words. Where you see faith, love is it’s support. Where you see love, faith is standing near.

Galatians 5:6 KJV
For in Yahushua the Messiah neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.

James 2:20 KJV
But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?

YHWH not only expects our Faith and Love, but he gives it. For every scripture given where there is a requirement on our part there is a promise given on his part.

Romans 10:9 –Romans 10:11 KJV
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Master Yahushua, and shalt believe in thine heart that YHWH hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

Job 1:8 KJV
And YHWH said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil?

John 3:16 KJV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

I was sitting in awe thinking about the fact that, not only does he require our faith, but he has faith in us. Not only does he require our love but he continuously loves us more than we can fathom. We are used to discussing faith and love from the standpoint of us giving it to him. Today we will discuss the other side of that coin. Him having faith in us, and him loving us.

Here are a few examples:

Adam:

a. The Father had FAITH in Adam to care for what he’d created, to name the animals etc…

b. The Father LOVED Adam so much he sent him help to accomplish his task, he didn’t desire that he be by himself (al-one).

Abraham:

a. The Father had FAITH in Abraham so much so, that he chose/enter covenant with him to be the Father of the nation which he would call his own. He chose Abraham and Sarah to be the mother and father of many nations. Out of one of these nations would come a deliverer to restore man back to his former state before the fall (fellowship with the Father one/one):his only begotten son.

b. The Father LOVED Abraham so much that he provided all that he would need to accomplish his task (guidance, protection), by continuously blessing him and making him one who would never be forgotten (he made his name great). He also sent Abraham a ram to offer as sacrifice; sparing his son Isaac’ life. His and his wife’ contribution to the kingdom will always be remembered. They are none as the mother and father of faith.

Moses:

a. The Father had FAITH in Moses, and this was exhibited by him choosing him to be the deliverer for his people Israel. He trusted Moses to get the job done. He trusted Moses to do as he instructed him, so that his people would see freedom from the hand of the enemy and experience the freedom of YHWH.

b. The Father LOVED Moses so much that he kept him from death as an infant. When Pharaoh was killing off all of the male Hebrew babies, the Father gave Moses’ mother the concept of placing him in a small ark, she pitched with tar herself and sending him up the river. Stop and think for a moment. This river would have been full of predators which could have destroyed Moses but no harm was brought to him. He was raised in Pharaohs house yet for the first part of his life his mother was the one who nursed him…

Noah:

Trusted to build the ark which would protect those who would continue life on the planet. Loved enough to be given the heads up as to what the Father was going to do to the earth and the one chosen to do the task. Noah and his family were protected by the hand of YHWH although everything else on the planet was being utterly destroyed.

The list could go on and on. From the beginning of the book to the end, his character of faith in those who were in relationship with him and love of all, is exhibited clearly.

This is why it is expected of His creation that we love him with all of our heart, mind and strength (not too much to ask is it?). He definitely knows the difference between lip-service and that which emanates in the heart and reaches the lips.

What is your scenario? What does he have faith in you for? How has he expressed his love for you continuously? THINK ABOUT IT!

He needs us to accomplish in the earth what he desires to be accomplished. Are you available? Are you a candidate for kingdom progress in the earth, or are you one who is in the way of progress? Relationship is give and receive, not just receive.

Don’t expect others to do what you aren’t willing to do. Don’t expect others to handle something, when you’ve never handled it. TRUE Leadership is service, not a license to dominate.

Wife of a Prophet

Trust in YHWH is proven when you follow HIM even when you don’t know which way he is taking you. Even when the way he’s taking you causes you stand out from everyone else. Anybody can follow religious rituals, and what THEY THINK is right, but can you follow his voice impromptu? That’s what proves whether you know him.

John 10:27-30
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand. I and my Father are one.

John 10:1-5
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.
But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.

Lets continue the topic of dealing with the teachings of the Word-Faith movement.

2 – Is Faith a Force?

The Word-Faith movement teaches that faith is a force, that can be wielded as necessary to obtain the things “promised” us by the word of God. However that teaching is in error.

As a child growing up under Faith teaching, I accepted this as so because it appealed to me in like manner as “The Force” in the Star Wars Trilogy. However I struggled with it as a teenager and woke up when, again, I read the scripture for myself.

Lets 1st start with the definitions of faith as utilized by scripture (New Testament)

The word Faith appears in the New Testament (KJV) approximately 223 times

There is one major greek word for faith:

pistis – persuasion, credence or conviction

And one variation:

little faith – oligopistos: lacking confidence

Lets delve a little deeper:

persuasion: a belief or set of beliefs
credence: belief in or acceptance of something as true
conviction: a firmly held belief or opinion

SO our faith is what we believe. Or to lend it more emphasis, it’s what we believe strongly.

That is what the word means.

What does force mean? As is commonly use in Word-Faith circles, it means:

mental or moral strength or power.

Of course I think, to the deceptive teachers, it means coercion or compulsion, which the bible expressly teaches us does not please God.

So here we are. A Simple, Basic Word study shows us that Faith is what we believe. Period.

Not a force. The teachers lied.

But lets go further.

James said this:

James 2:14 –James 2:20 (KJV)
What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?
If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,
And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?
Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.
Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: show me thy faith without thy works, and I will show thee my faith by my works.
Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.
But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?

Just for even greater clarity, I want to substitute the word faith in this passage with the phrase “Firm Belief”

Lets read it now….

James 2:14 –James 2:20
What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can “Firm Belief” save him?
If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,
And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?
Even so “Firm Belief”, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.
Yea, a man may say, Thou hast “Firm Belief”, and I have works: show me thy “Firm Belief” without thy works, and I will show thee my “Firm Belief” by my works.
Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.
But wilt thou know, O vain man, that “Firm Belief” without works is dead?

Faith is not a force. It is plain and simple what you belief strongly. Not a force.

If you believe your mate will never cheat on you, you act in kind. You don’t give her 20 questions when she leaves the house. You don’t run around checking the GPS system to see where she has been, you don’t check her call logs and dial the numbers back to see who she is calling or speaking to.

You don’t install keystroke software to read her text messages, you don’t sneak and read her emails, check her cell phone text messages and so on.

No, you are so Firm in your belief that your wife will never cheat on you, you do none of those things.

Likewise, the person who believes their mate will cheat on them may do all those things and more. Why? Because they are persuaded that their spouse will cheat, or is cheating, on them.

In Romans you read the following:

Romans 10:17 (KJV)
So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

Lets do our simple definition substitution (as this word faith is the greek word pistis)

Romans 10:17
So then Firm Belief cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

There is a certain consistency here. Note, however, in this passage, you are to develop your strong belief by Hearing the word of God. In My humble opinion and in personal practice, that means hearing the word of God read aloud. The Bible on Tape and your own personal “reading aloud” time. Again, this is JUST my opinion.

The teachers who try to convince us faith (as described in the bible) is a force, are the selfsame teachers trying to lead us away from Faith in God and his dear son, into humanistic Faith in ourselves.

Now, I will say this, Not ALL of the teachers got it wrong.

Fred Price got it right.

In His Book Faith, Foolishness or Presumption, he clearly laid it out.

However in a multiplicity of other areas he got it wrong.

This article here is just one such error.

Remember, a little leaven leavens the whole lump. He got faith correct, but he got other things wrong.

For the record, Faith is NOT the religious denomination you ascribe to.

The phrase “People of Faith” is ignorant. Every person on the planet is a person of faith, in that they “FIRMLY BELIEVE” something. Good or bad, right or wrong, Holy or Evil. They believe something so strongly they guide their lives by it.

The real question is do you Firmly Believe in Yeshuah? In Yahweh?

Are you willing to sacrifice your life to follow Yeshuah?

If you are not, you do not have faith (firm belief) in him. You have acceptance of his teachings and you feel good to be associated with others who “Claim to Know and love him.” But that is not enough.

Being a True Disciple of Christ requires Much Sacrifice. You must Sacrifice your WILL to obey God. Of course when you have made it your lifestyle, it is no longer a sacrifice. You will Glory in doing his work and his will.

Just Like Jesus verbally admitted in the Garden:

Luke 22:42 (KJV)
…nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.

Until next time. I Love you.

Read the word aloud for yourself. Spend time in The Bible (KJV) and learn his (God and Yeshuah’s) ways. Time is short. Either you are on the Lord’s Side or you will drink from the same cup as Satan:

Revelation 14:10 (KJV)
The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:

Husband of a Prophet

WARNING: ONLY PROCEED WITH THE READING OF THIS POSTING IF YOU ARE ABLE TO HANDLE YOUR FAITH BEING SHAKEN.THIS IS NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART, BUT IS RATED HC FOR HARD CORE BELIEVERS ONLY!!! PROCEED WITH CAUTION

How do you make holy something that God absolutely abhors? YOU CAN’T!!
Is that like putting perfume over funk and thinking that you smell good?
Or like taking the meal that you’ve prepared and setting it in a wreath centerpiece of fresh dog poop, ringing the bell for the family to “COME AND GET IT!!!”

For far too long the customs of the world have been acceptable to those who call themselves “christian”. For far too long God has been displeased with those who profess to be His entangling themselves with every ungodly ritual and tradition of the world in the name of “all in good fun.”

God was telling the children of Israel the same thing He is speaking to us today:

I AM THE LORD YOUR GOD, nothing comes before me, don’t worship idols or make graven images, or rear up a standing image…..

Q:
What is the Body of Christ? If you don’t know the answer to this question you’ve are right now like many of us who before we came into the truth of the Word of God: taken captive by the traditions of men who make the Word of God of none effect. Mark 7:13

A:
The Body of Christ is the collective community of people who belong to God. They are the representatives of Christ in the earth to do the works He (and even greater: meaning more abundant) did and to represent the Father as He did ( He did nor said anything of Himself but what the Father told Him to say and do, He did). Before Christ left He established His body, and now we are to work His works and do as He did in the earth during His earthly ministry.

With all of the Pagan Holidays on the way, God’s instruction to me was to put out a cry to all those who say that they are His.
If we are the body of Christ, why are we entangled with all of the things of the world?

Come out from among them and be ye separate says the Lord

He told the children of Israel this and this applies to us today:
LEVITICUS 18:30
30Therefore shall ye KEEP MINE ORDINANCE, that ye COMMIT NOT ANY one of these abominable CUSTOMS, which were committed before you, and that ye defile not yourselves therein: I am the LORD your God.

Did Jesus celebrate christmas? Did Jesus celebrate halloween? Did Jesus celebrate New Years, and Easter and all of the other stuff “christians” celebrate: In his name?

Why do you? Where did these customs come from? Are these things we’ve learned from the Word of God, to do?

If you fail to question why you do what you do, and can find no basis for what you do in the scripture which you say you believe and follow how will you ever walk in the truth?

You can take the blue pill or the red pill, but either way you go there will be a result that stems from the decision you make.

The blue pill represents the continuance to live in man made ignorance (a false blissful state). The place where many choose to stay for the sake of maintaining the relationship with people over their relationship with God.
But the red pill represents the desire to know truth and no longer live in opposition to the Word of God, but rather live in reality. (Metaphorically speaking)

I was as you are today, presented with the option to choose. I know for many what I am saying may seem hard, but the reality is: We do what we’ve been taught to do, but that doesn’t mean that all that we’ve been taught was right to do.

I chose the red pill, and when my eyes were opened and I saw the truth I was absolutely in shock.

Ephesians 1:17-18 The eyes of my understanding were opened….

For the last 6-7 years I have been studying the origin of the holidays that we celebrate in depth and year to year nothing has changed. They are all pagan and the Roman Catholic church in an effort to add more members to “christendom” decided that we make a few alterations and incorporate them into our lives as “christian”. These things were not instituted by God and not followed by Christ, nor any of his disciples.

Why the world knows the truth of these holidays and “christians” don’t, IS NOT ACCEPTABLE!!!

Hosea 4:6a expresses the heart of God clearly regarding any who reject knowledge;

6My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee

The only way our worship of God is acceptable is when we do so: in Spirit (meaning we must have His Spirit) and in Truth (meaning we must know the truth)
JOHN 4:24
24God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
