My Sheep Hear My Voice
Dearest Brethren, time is moving toward the end of all things, we are told to “be clear minded, self controlled that we might pray” (1Peter 4:7) as we look up with great anticipation, longingly waiting and eagerly expecting our soon coming Bridegroom. Our hearts are to be solely and passionately fixed upon our relationship with Him now and into His eternal kingdom. “Teach us to number our days, O Yahveh that we might present to you a heart of wisdom” (Psalm 90:12).
Dearest ones, the glory cloud is moving, the tent pegs are shaking because we are going to the Promised Land, HalleluYAH! What you know to do, do it! We can depend on and trust the power of His Spirit to enable us to accomplish His perfect will through our lives in these last moments on earth. As the tent pegs are being lifted up, we rejoice that Yahveh goes with His redeemed, the Shekinah glory, His very Presence, is leading us out of harms way. Our great Shepherd is leading His sheep into the safe pastures of His infinite protection and refuge.
Yahshua’s (Jesus’s) “sheep hear His voice,” (John 10:27) He has much to say in the brevity of time that remains. Open up your ears beloved, rivet them to the voice of your Master, He will reveal to you great and mighty things that you must know from prayer, His word, and directions from His Spirit. His pure instruction will make you strong and supernaturally equipped to do mighty exploits. These exploits will be the accomplishment of His holy purposes and good pleasure through your sanctified, humble, and obedient lives. They will be unnoticed by most because all the praise, honor, and glory will go to Him; but they will bring forth the riches of His glory in your life here, which will multiply your divine dividends into all eternity.
Yahshua’s final message gives this caution statement, “Let him who does wrong continue to do wrong; let him who is vile continue to be vile; let him who does right continue to do right; and let him who is holy continue to be holy.” (Revelation 22:11) Brethren, whatever is motivating and driving us is going to take on greater power. We must ask for wisdom and discernment as we “work out our salvation with fear and trembling” (Philippians 2:12) understanding what the will of Yahveh is and doing it.
We are to beat back our flesh moment by moment if need be, so that what is done in word and deed is done through the power of the Spirit and never in the power of the arm of flesh. According to Yahveh’s word we are bringing curses upon ourselves if we lean upon our own arm of flesh, strength, and understanding. (see Jeremiah 17:5) “Be thee holy because Yahveh is a holy God” (Leviticus 11:45) do not be deceived brethren “whatever you sow thus shall you reap” (Galatians 6:7). If you persist sowing according to the flesh into this world, which is doomed to destruction, you too will be subject to the outpouring of judgments.
We have been redeemed out of this world, therefore “come out from their midst and be separate says Yahveh … touch nothing that is unclean (defiling, impure and contrary to Yahveh’s righteous decrees), and I will welcome you says Yahveh … Let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit perfecting holiness in the fear of Yahveh.” (See 2 Corinthians 6:17-7:1) Seek Him with all of your heart while He may still be found (see Matthew 7:7). Yahveh rewards those who love Him with all their hearts, souls, minds, and strength and those who seek Him diligently for His perfect will and good pleasure.
Be on your guard against double mindedness and worldly preoccupations lest you receive nothing but confusion and find yourself grouping in darkness. As Yahveh said in Isaiah 60, ”For behold darkness will cover the earth, And deep darkness the peoples but Arise and shine; for your light has come, And the glory of Yahveh has risen upon you.” For His glory to rise upon you, you must be in His presence. Yahveh’s countenance will not rise upon you if you continually gravitate to the worthless things of this world. As the Apostle Paul said in Philippians, “… I count all things to be loss in view of the surpassing value of knowing Messiah Yahshua my Master, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish (worthy of the dung heap) in order that I may gain Messiah” (Philippians 3:7-8). May Yahveh, in mercy, give us His sorrow for our sins that easily beset us and grieve His Spirit. May He lead us to true repentance and continued consecration.
