Don’t Exchange Truth for a Lie
The word says, “Do two walk together unless they have agreed to do so?” (Amos 3:3). Satan has caused a major schism to make sure that there is a major chasm between Yahveh God and those who profess to know Him. Yahshua (Jesus) even says, “This people honors Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me” (Matthew 15:8). Why? Because we poor things, are victims of the spirit of deception that has made-man made doctrines and Yahveh is not in them. We do not know Him, and our worship of Him is in vain. It is in vain because He is not there.
The Enemy has relentlessly, insidiously, and very successfully robbed us by a spirit of great deception, telling us that Yahveh’s ways are no longer for the New Testament church. That is a lie. They exchanged the truth for a lie. They liked the lie better because it seemed easier. It may be easier, but there is spiritual destitution, spiritual impoverishment, and utter spiritual destruction that awaits those who do not walk in His ways.
The Almighty is sovereign. It does not matter how much you think you love Him or how much you think you know Him. You have to be clinging to, embracing, adoring, and worshipping Him. If you are not able to do that, it is because there is distance between you. Something is separating you from Him, and all you have is the knowledge of Him. The most knowledge can do is give you an inkling that you want to know Him better. The worst it can do is puff you up with head knowledge and make you think you are some spiritual giant when you don’t truly know Him.
Yahshua (Jesus) says He was not far off, because “…the word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (Romans 10:8). He is as near as your breath. He is truth: start proclaiming truth and your breath will be proclaiming Him. He is in your breath because He is your life.
To Yahveh God be the glory! He is wholly righteous! He longs to gather us together as a mother “hen gathers her chicks” (Matthew 23:37), so that we may know the comfort of being that near to Him. Everything comes in order: to the Jews first, whether they are blessings or curses. There will be tribulation and distress for every soul of man who does evil, of the Jew first and also of the Greek, but glory and honor and peace to everyone who does good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. For there is no partiality [favoritism] with God (Romans 2:9-11). Whether it is nearness to Yahveh (the Lord) or a great chasm between Yahveh and us, it comes in His order. But it comes to all humankind, for He has no favorites. No one is excluded from His blessings if they walk in obedience, and no one is excluded from His curses and utmost judgments if they walk in disobedience.
