A DANGEROUS MESSAGE TO HEAR THEN IGNORE

July 11, 2012

On July 9,  I posted a message Yeshua revealed to me concerning repenting of past sins and dealing with unforgiveness in our lives. Today the Holy Spirit led me to this teaching about unforgiveness, and the difference between human forgiveness, and God's forgiveness. There is a very big difference in the two. Please take the time to watch and listen to this message. It goes hand in hand with what Yeshua spoke several days ago, and will minister to all of us in some aspect or another. I know it has greatly touched me and taught me this day. We can all benefit from this teaching, and hopefully understand what it truly means to be forgiven and to forgive others. My prayer is that all who read this and watch the teaching will indeed finally be free to live the life of a born again believer as was intended by our Creator. God bless you.

A TIME FOR YOUR PURIFICATION

July 7, 2012

This is what I feel our King Yeshua is speaking to us today.

I have spoken to you this week concerning knowing the seasons you are in. I want you to meditate upon this, for I am beginning a new season in My people, My Bride. This time needs to be a time of deep reflection, a time of cleansing, and a time of purging. For some, this process will be quite painful, for others, a light dusting. I am asking at this time that you would search deep into your souls, deep into the past, and bring to the light any secret and hidden sins you may have. Many of you feel you are walking out a life in union with Me, but wondering why you are still feeling empty, frustrated, even angry. Know this. It is sin that has caused the separation from you and I. Sin you may not even be aware of. I want you to go back to your childhood. Think back to the very first hurts you are aware of and ask yourselves these questions. Have I truly forgiven the people that have caused me so much pain? Or have I come to a place of indifference and apathy regarding those things. Because My children, indifference is not of Me. It is not loving, and is the root of more serious issues in your lives. I realize how painful it will be to go back to your youth, but you MUST at this time, extract every hurt and every wrongdoing there has been up until this point. Review each situation, and bring this to My throne. I am here to comfort you through this process. You MUST come to a place of total surrender, and total forgiveness for every circumstance that has caused you to fall deeper and deeper into the sins or fruits of the flesh. Unforgiveness only continues to bring pain and emptiness, not for the ones who have hurt you, but for you , and for those around you.  Slowly, over time, even a slight indifference that you may have, this brushing off of so many things has festered deep within you and is now become a bleeding, open wound. This is exactly where the enemy wants you to remain. He would have you believe that you are justified in how you are feeling, that your anger, your frustration, and your weariness are deserved. Do not believe this lie! I am a God of peace, joy, love, and compassion, and I want to be what is filling your souls. This disease called sin will eat you alive from the inside out. I say again, you MUST go through each relationship, each season of your life and purge the dross. Bring them all to Me as I will cover each of your trials and sufferings in My Blood, never to return to you to infect your souls. This request is of the most vital importance, as you will not progress with Me into your next season until this process has been completed, and the time is NOW. I will be calling each one of My Bride for a very unique and designated purpose in the coming dark days upon this planet. But you can not bring any baggage into this next season. You must travel light, and be able to feel the freeness of having let go of all that has kept you in bondage for so many years. Allow My Holy Spirit to lead the way, as you bring all to Me and then rest in My arms for a time to heal. It is then that you will receive your orders for this next season, and I will guide you in your next move. You can not hear My voice however if you do not clean your temple from the inside out. I must have pure vessels from which I will operate. If only each one of you could fathom My love for you. I would give My life again and again for every single one of you, how precious is My love! So why wait? Come to Me NOW, and allow Me to heal you completely, as I need each one to be prepared for the things I am having you move in so very soon. Listen for My prompting, and bask in My love for you. Take My hands, and follow Me.  


With all My love,
Yeshua

Isaiah 59

King James Version (KJV)
59 Behold, the Lord's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear:
But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.
For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue hath muttered perverseness.
None calleth for justice, nor any pleadeth for truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity.
They hatch cockatrice' eggs, and weave the spider's web: he that eateth of their eggs dieth, and that which is crushed breaketh out into a viper.
Their webs shall not become garments, neither shall they cover themselves with their works: their works are works of iniquity, and the act of violence is in their hands.
Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood: their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; wasting and destruction are in their paths.
The way of peace they know not; and there is no judgment in their goings: they have made them crooked paths: whosoever goeth therein shall not know peace.
Therefore is judgment far from us, neither doth justice overtake us: we wait for light, but behold obscurity; for brightness, but we walk in darkness.
10 We grope for the wall like the blind, and we grope as if we had no eyes: we stumble at noon day as in the night; we are in desolate places as dead men.
11 We roar all like bears, and mourn sore like doves: we look for judgment, but there is none; for salvation, but it is far off from us.
12 For our transgressions are multiplied before thee, and our sins testify against us: for our transgressions are with us; and as for our iniquities, we know them;
13 In transgressing and lying against the Lord, and departing away from our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood.
14 And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter.
15 Yea, truth faileth; and he that departeth from evil maketh himself a prey: and the Lord saw it, and it displeased him that there was no judgment.
16 And he saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor: therefore his arm brought salvation unto him; and his righteousness, it sustained him.
17 For he put on righteousness as a breastplate, and an helmet of salvation upon his head; and he put on the garments of vengeance for clothing, and was clad with zeal as a cloak.
18 According to their deeds, accordingly he will repay, fury to his adversaries, recompence to his enemies; to the islands he will repay recompence.
19 So shall they fear the name of the Lord from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him.
20 And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith the Lord.
21 As for me, this is my covenant with them, saith the Lord; My spirit that is upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed's seed, saith the Lord, from henceforth and for ever.

SIGNS AND SEASONS

July 6, 2012

I feel during prayer this week that Yeshua is wanting to know if we understand the signs and the seasons we are in. We are promised in the Word that we will know these things, but this knowledge is only understood by those who frequent His Word and spend time with Him each day. He wants us to know 'what time it is'. He tells us we are the ones who will not be overtaken, or suprised by the many events that lead to His Second Coming. Many people you talk to about what is going on today will shrug and tell you these things have been happening for a long time, and that history is simply repeating itself. These are the ones who will be caught offguard when tragedy strikes close to home. We have a Father though that cares so much for us, He spells out His plan, in vivid detail, right there in His word. It is to be our instruction manual for life. I encourage you not to be one of those who is going to be caught unaware, because at that point, it is too late for your soul. Repent now, spend time with Yeshua each day, and ask the Holy Spirit to help you discern the signs and seasons we are in. There are blessings beyond measure for those who walk in obedience and endure to the end. We have His promise, let us not ignore the many, many warnings we are seeing every day of how soon our King returns.

Ecclesiastes 3

King James Version (KJV)
To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.
What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboureth?
10 I have seen the travail, which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in it.
11 He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.
12 I know that there is no good in them, but for a man to rejoice, and to do good in his life.
13 And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labour, it is the gift of God.
14 I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him.
15 That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God requireth that which is past.
16 And moreover I saw under the sun the place of judgment, that wickedness was there; and the place of righteousness, that iniquity was there.
17 I said in mine heart, God shall judge the righteous and the wicked: for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work.
18 I said in mine heart concerning the estate of the sons of men, that God might manifest them, and that they might see that they themselves are beasts.
19 For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity.
20 All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again.
21 Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth?
22 Wherefore I perceive that there is nothing better, than that a man should rejoice in his own works; for that is his portion: for who shall bring him to see what shall be after him?

Luke 21:34-36

34 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.
35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.
36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

Hosea 4:6

My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.

DARK NIGHT OF THE SOUL

July 1, 2012

     There are a very many Christians in the world today who have a very real and genuine desire to please God. We want to do all the right things, and are walking around trying to figure out how to 'be good' enough for Him. The problem is, we are wrong in how we are going about fulfulling that desire to live the life that God intended for us. So many times, we reach for the things we feel God will find sincere, righteous, pure, and humble, but quickly find ourselves disgusted, angry, frustrated, and tired. We will then ask ourselves and God, why? What am I not doing right as a Christian? Why do I still feel empty and lacking? Why is the hole in my heart getting so much bigger? I'm doing all the right things, aren't I? What we are going after is not producing anything.

     To get to the bottom of what is going on, we need to ask ourselves a couple questions. The first would be, where does our confidence lie, especially on Judgement Day?  Is our faith in what we are doing or what He did? We are actually living in bondage, not much different than the Israelites did so many years ago and don't even realize it. We may have an allegiance to a religion or some such practice or custom that holds us in bondage, or we may be living a life of self-inflicted obedience which only leads to an weak and ineffective follower who rapidly burns out. We may feel our Christian walk is actually getting us nowhere. So if we are really striving to be who God wants us to be, what is it that we keep grabbing onto that we feel is "getting us there"? Is it moral purity? If I can just keep my mind and heart pure...then...Is it external righteousness? If I only attend here, say these prayers, dress this way...go to this service...then...Maybe it's compassionate rescue. I should adopt an orphan, visit the sick...then...I definitely need to pray more, I should set aside a time each day and study...then.....This is the battle that rages inside of us as we struggle to find that deeper, seemingly hidden relationship that always eludes us.

     We are sincere in our desire to seek Him with all of our hearts, we just get misdirected. The Bible states very clearly that God hates self-sufficiency. He can't stand it when we do things in our own ability, wisdom, efforts, disciplines, and willpower. In other words, we are acting in our flesh, not our spirit. All of those things we 'do' are good things, but they alone will not produce the relationship we so long for in our souls.  When God speaks of wanting us, just for us, He speaks of complete surrender. He asks to abide in us, and we in Him. Abide is meno, and carries a literal sense of "dwell;" but it also indicates the very significant theological and spiritual nuance of "remaining" or "abiding," in intimate relationship with God through the person of Yeshua his Son. Meno indicates the spiritual reality of believers maintaining and being maintained in close spiritual bonds with their Lord and God. We completely surrender and dwell in Him and He in us. This means, Yeshua now has the opportunity to be Yeshua, but using us as the vessel, or the temple, through which HE continues on in doing those things we seek to fulfill God's will in our lives. We no longer have to think about or figure out what God wants, or what we need to grab a hold of anymore. HE  will bring about all these things naturally through us. We simply allow Him to flow through every fiber of our being and let Him do what He does best, which is LOVE. All of the wonderful fruits of the Spirit then simply flow from us, because we are not creating them to fulfull our flesh, or working towards a long list of good works to show the Father when we are judged. We are told in scripture to put off the old man, Adam, and put on the new man in Christ. This is exactly what it means to be born again of the Spirit. It means we no longer operate in our own means. We only are being used as the channel for His spirit to flow.

     I encourage all of you reading this, if you are having that dark night in your soul, and the battle is raging inside of you because you feel no matter what you do it isn't enough, remember, Yeshua has already done it. When He said "It is finished" on the cross, He meant it. He is our intercessor, and tells us His burden is light and His yoke easy. Abiding in Him and He in you is the only way you will finish the race well. May you rest in this fact and finally find peace in your souls. 


King James Version (KJV)

Psalm 55:22

22 Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.

1 Peter 5:7

Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

Matthew 11:28

28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
It was a promise from the Messiah: He will give rest to those who come to Him. It is not rest that is earned.

Matthew 11:30

30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light

The yoke that we take upon ourselves is the unity found in a daily walk with Yeshua Ha Mashiach.  Matching Him step for step, we will find that He takes on the weight of life for we who rely on His strength. Likewise, the burden that we carry is simply the ability to live a life pleasing to Yaweh, an ability given by the Spirit of Yeshua living in and working through us.

Isaiah 61:10

10 I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.

Ephesians 4:22

22 That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;

Colossians 3:8-9

But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.
Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;

Romans 13:12

12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.

Romans 13:14

14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.

Galatians 3:27

27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.

Ephesians 4:24

24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.

Ephesians 6:11

11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

Ephesians 6:14

14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;

Colossians 3:10

10 And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:

Colossians 3:12

12 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;

Colossians 3:14

14 And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.

John 15:5-7

I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.
If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.
If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.

THE SECRET OF THE LORD IS WITH THEM WHO FEAR HIM

June 29, 2012

Psalm 25

King James Version (KJV)

25 Unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me.
Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed: let them be ashamed which transgress without cause.
Shew me thy ways, O Lord; teach me thy paths.
Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.
Remember, O Lord, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses; for they have been ever of old.
Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness' sake, O Lord.
Good and upright is the Lord: therefore will he teach sinners in the way.
The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way.
10 All the paths of the Lord are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.
11 For thy name's sake, O Lord, pardon mine iniquity; for it is great.
12 What man is he that feareth the Lord? him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose.
13 His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth.
14 The secret of the Lord is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant.
15 Mine eyes are ever toward the Lord; for he shall pluck my feet out of the net.
16 Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me; for I am desolate and afflicted.
17 The troubles of my heart are enlarged: O bring thou me out of my distresses.
18 Look upon mine affliction and my pain; and forgive all my sins.
19 Consider mine enemies; for they are many; and they hate me with cruel hatred.
20 O keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I put my trust in thee.
21 Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on thee.
22 Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.

Let this psalm be our prayer today, that we would be forgiven our sins, and that we that seek His face would be remembered and comforted by Yaweh. Amen.
