We are to be compelled in our words and deeds to glorify the Father, as we humbly seek to save the lost by pouring out our lives so others can know Yahshua’s (Jesus’s) redemptive love and inhabit His eternal Kingdom.
Our coming holy “Bridegroom” is urging us to cultivate a spiritually deep, personal relationship with Him. The righteous remnant are prayerfully and longingly waiting for Him with their spiritual ears riveted to hear His voice.
Dissipation keeps us from denying ourselves and instead we end up denying the Holy Spirit’s power to overcome our unruly flesh and its continual desires for the things of this passing world.
Yahshua (Jesus) has poured out His atoning blood, to redeem you to be His very own, now and forever! He described two pathways–the broad path leading to eternal death and the narrow path leading to eternal life.
If we are eagerly waiting for Yahshua’s appearing it will be like a dynamo of spiritual power that motivates us to run this race as we fight the good fight of faith to endure victoriously to the end.
Many are not walking as we should, dining at the banqueting table of the King, because we love the world, we love ourselves, and we cater to our flesh. To be satisfied with the things of this world is a basic form of deception.
There is a much higher call for each of us. The purest and most powerful presence of Yahshua (Jesus) is yet to fill and keep us in a place where we are reverent and continually obedient to His mighty plans and purposes.
We did not major in the heart of Yahveh, which are the Commandments. Yahshua (Jesus) has sent us the Helper, the Spirit of Truth so that by His merciful deposit of grace living in us, we could walk in obedience to His holy Commandments.
YAHveh (the LORD) is calling us to persevere and to get spiritual wisdom through faith. With 20/20 spiritual vision we will be able to see with holy perspective instead of only focusing on this little infinitesimal life we live.
The Almighty is crying for His children to come out of the world and be holy to Him. He gave His Son to die on the stake at Calvary. In return, we can no longer be halfhearted lip servers who serve the cravings of this world.
Friends, I, along with many of you, are experiencing diverse trials and testings. You may feel loneliness, stress, anxiety, hopelessness, or fear. Yet, let us take heart that faith which is refined as gold give us the victory in Yahshua!
True disciples must “count the cost” to stay on the narrow path. Yahshua (Jesus) continually cautions His disciples to “be on guard,” making it clear that although many would want to, only a remnant would enter Heaven.
Yahshua’s Spirit is relentlessly beseeching us to forsake the old self and sin nature with all of its gripping worldly desires and preoccupations. “The world is passing away and also it’s lusts; but the one who does the will of God lives forever”
In keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, where righteousness dwells. Real faith-filled believers live with this hope, living righteously before the Almighty and leading others to do the same.
Paul understood the jealousy of Yahveh to have a holy people who loved and obeyed Him and did not give halfhearted lip service, while they flirted around with the world. For “friendship with the world is hatred toward God.” (James 4:4)
We have to cling to our Beloved God and Savior with both hands. Not one hand in the world, not with our eyes over here or there, which is double-mindedness and half-heartedness, but clinging like little children to Him.
Please, my God and Savior, have mercy and cleanse and purify me of all my cravings, pantings, and hankerings; every desire of my appetites, whether for things, notoriety, position, comfort, or my own vain glory and selfish ambition.
There is no sting of death for those who are already living in the Spirit, because they taste death daily by dying to the flesh. We cannot remain carnally minded. The enemy of the Spirit is our flesh, which can never please the Father.
Apart from the blood of the Savior and a repentant heart, the sins that are not repented for, that are not pulled out by the very root, go down to our children. “Search me, O Yahveh, show me the roots that are so offensive to You.
Apart from living according to the uncompromised written word of God, without picking and choosing what suits us according to our denominational predisposition, we are going to err.
