The well pictured on the cover, called the ‘Nuns well, is located on the east side of a footpath, a short distance to the north of Arden Hall, which used to be a nunnery and provides an explanation for the well name. Water from a spring in the banking behind the well is piped into the "bath" and the over flow is piped away to a nearby stream. The bath is around 5ft in diameter and of a similar depth, with masoned stonework forming stepped sides to the shaft of the well.
These steps we will take into the well together each step signifying our stepping deeper into Adonai’s’ ever increasing beauty.

YAHshua, clearly stated, and today continues to state
“I Am”...The way, the Truth and the Life, Forever more.
Moreover, and rightfully, He’ can, and should, He is the chosen Lamb of Adonai’ sheared and slain for the world. He alone is worthy to loose the seven seals of judgment. There is no time or space in YAH'shua.
YAH is the beginning, the Aleph and the ending [the Tav] of all things. For did He not say, ‘I was with Moses, and I was the One standing before Avrahm”.
Even with the most astute of us who continually search for a formula or method to greatness in G-d. He simply stated “I Am the Door”.
He could well have said; I Am’ the gateway into the vast resources of Heaven.
How so you ask …YAH'shua told of the many Mansions in His Father’s house and every room in a mansion is filled with treasures of great value, promise and sentiment, all acquired by love…. One’ for another, the ahavah’ of a living Savior. Therefore, it is my assumption that the greater gifts are in the vastness of the DeepWell of His love.
Together, lets Step into the Deep-Well.
Deep Well
Deep used to denote (1) the grave or the abyss… The depth we must go to die to self, in order to inherit the Vestibule of Heaven. (Rom. 10:7; Luke 8:31 John12v (2) The deepest part of the sea (Ps. 69v15)
(Heb. Beer) A "beer" was a deep shaft, bored far under the rocky surface by the art of man, which contained water, which in turn percolated through the strata in its sides.
Such wells were those of Jacob and Beersheba, etc. (See Gen. 21:19, 25, 30, 31; 24:11; 26:15, 18-25, 32, etc.). In the Pentateuch this word, beer, so rendered, occurs twenty-five times.
Aleph /it is the first letter of the alphabet, whose sound is that of your breath as you begin to make a sound. It is the first letter of the Ten Commandments Anochi and of G-d's name of Elohim. It also begins echad=ONE, Adam-man and Avraham-the first Y'Isrealite/Jew.
It is also the first letter of the word aysh-fire, the primordial fire, which flames but does not destroy. Moses seen this fire upon the burning bush.
Shin/a is the second to last letter of the alphabet.
It is the letter that stands alone for Shaddai- G-d's most mysterious name, which is on the klaf inside of each mezuzah..
It is the first letter of Shofar [the ram's horn], shalom-peace/wholeness/ completion, Shabbat and shefa-resplendent radiance and the shekinah- the feminine presence of G-d who dwells among us nurturing and teaching … Ha’Kodesh.
Tav/ is the last letter of the alphabet. It is the first letter of tefilla-prayer, tehilim-psalms, Teshuva, T'shuva-turning/returning,Repentent,… Torah, Talmud and Tanach. Resh Lakish said that the Tav is the last letter of the Holy One's seal, ~~~~for Rav hanina a respected Rabbi of long ago taught that the seal of G-d is Emet/truth. Aishet/,at (as in Aishet Chayil) together the letters stand for the women of valor whose praises are sung at the beginning of Shabbat. For your reference: YHVH (L-RD or G-d) YOD HAY VOD HAY Elohim/ Adonai (G-d) Y'shua /YAHshua (The world uses Jesus= Ieosous 1611 KJV=Zeus in Greek mythology)~~~ Ruach HaKodosh (Holy Spirit)
The Shekinah glory of the L-rd in the Old Testament is always the visible manifestation of the presence of G-d, first seen with the pillar of fire and the pillar of cloud at the time of the Exodus.
Apostle John/ Yochanan asserts that YAH'shua is the manifested divine glory that has come to be the servant suffering for the sins/transgressions of His people Y'israEL.
John cites first, Isaiah 53:1 (thus making the tie to the suffering servant), and then explains that Isaiah had said these things because he (Isaiah) saw His (YAHshua’s) glory. By this reference to glory, John makes the connection between YAH'shua and the Shekinah manifestation of Yod’Hay’Vov’Hay’…the L-RD G-D.
The simple believeth every word: ...however…
THE PRUDENT MAN LOOKETH WELL to his going" (Proverbs 14:15)
As we begin, Let us pray...
“May the rain of the Ruach Ha’Kodosh fully pour upon you bringing you into the deepest well of baptism even unto death of the fleshly nature, only to resurrect you as high as the Eagle in His perfection. I pray Adonai’ arise fully in your heart from the DeepWell of His love.

Well of His Love…...... Step One
"Whosoever drinketh of this natural' water shall thirst again:…But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him,…. shall never thirst;…but the water that I shall give him…shall be in him a Well of Water…springing up into everlasting life." Yochanan 14:v3-4 (KJV)
A DeepWell is encased to prevent the walls from collapsing, and so it is with the L-rd. Father keeps us encased in His undeniable love, that we might endure the overcoming forces against us …
If not for His love…The Ahavah’ of The Master…
I now shudder to think back to what I thought was success in my life, climbing the ladder to greatness in Jim…however in all honesty, as with Jacob’s life, it was littered with vain attempts of greatness and a false sense of security from wrong learning. As an entrepreneur, businessman, and even in my early days of ministry, I personally had not fully drank the living water from the Well of His Love….Nor did I know of it.
The depth of which we will be taking this journey into DeepWell can only be obtained through brokenness.
A broken and contrite Spirit/Ruach is what the L-rd requires before He forms you into HIS image for you alone.
The required maturity and Priestly integrity to serve the King was not yet within me. I am assuming you are seeking the fullness to overflowing of His Living Water. However, with me, aside from wrong learning, even a greater tragedy is that sometimes the carnal ears are not yet opened for the Masters Ruach’ truth. I had heard His voice early in my life calling me. However coming from a house that never spoke of the greatness of G-D, I knew not what to do, Samuel at least had the counsel of ELI’.
Personally in my early days I did not know how to discern His awesome ways, nor did I see ELELyon in the very the wind as I do now. Neither did I understand “He is the Wind” and My next breath. Learning to see’ the voice as Yochanan did in the book of Revelation takes covenant love, knowledge and a longing for deep intimacy.
John had found the Heartbeat of G-D. First what I needed was a continual dunking into the reality of G-d and who He really is, seek truth, and avoid the mixture of pablum sprinkled out in the gentile court.
Unfortunately most of us start out there, I was no different. Second to that was defining my unique purpose for the Fathers Kingdom glorification while treading through the quagmire of conceptualized religious Idioms.
The institutional “Church” has a way of getting us off track of Covenant truth somewhat. May I proceed with this observation “If” we serve Adonai’ the Most High G-d of the Hebrew nation, and He revealed Himself as Adonai’…Elohim, The L-RD G-D, (Gen. 2v4).
Then should we know Him? Should we know His Character? ADONAI’…today is the most common name of Ha’ Shem, meaning the Most High G-D. This Name in fact shows that the source and essence of all being is inclusively the One G-D, Master and Creator of the entire universe.
The Self Existent One” before the Milta. (Pre-Genesis 1v1 ) The foundation for this is found written in the Torah’/Tanahk from Genesis 1v1 and Deuteronomy 34v12 This is not conceptualized babbling, it is an absolute.
The Apostle John brings us into remembrance by reiterating this in John 1:v1 stating … “In the Beginning….G-D” The world gurus can come up with unity plans and focus groups, but Yaweh or Yod’Hay’Vod’Hay’/ YHVH is the creator forevermore. How do I know you ask? … Let me share my heart and let us reason together. G-d in His creative being is what He does. ADONAI’… is His revealed name of love and adoration. YAHshua is the commonly used Hebrew name of the deliverer of YAHweh’s chosen people or in greater terms YAHshua laid his life down for the greater cause of the whole and is now and forevermore the final Blood covenant for all mankind.
In other words, if you miss this so great a salvation… you loose big time.
You will find the Master’s name in most KJV versions in Psalm 68v4, as “My name is YAH”. And do not think all Kjv’s are the same. I have noted different publishers have variations on the theme.
Some misrepresent it as JAH’ However keep in mind there was no J’ in any alphabet until approximately 500 plus years ago. The original 1611 publication in fact has it as Ieous for what we now call him as Jesus.
The Covenant Nazarenes call Him Moshiach YAHshua, Whom the world calls Jesus’.
YAHshua is the Ruach of G-D manifested…He Himself became in obedience, the sacrificial “Lamb of G-D” delivered UP for you and me.
Yes, Obedient unto death, then resurrected to show that even the grave cannot hold back the awesome power of the almighty Creator.
YAHshua himself in obedience brought forth the last and final blood covenant for all mankind The divine name El Brit ("G-d of the Covenant") occurs only in Judges 9:46
Therefore, many of the names used in this writing have a reason as they more acquaint a purpose with His character.
Understanding the Character of Adonai is an absolute when determining or discerning the spirits in spiritual conflict.
He revealed Himself to Moses as “I Am that I am”, In Hebrew, “Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh (eh-YEH a-sher eh-YEH). Exodus 3v14 /John 8v58
After four hundred years in Egyptian captivity, they needed confirmation.
The Master then revealed Himself as Adonai’ Roph'ekha.
The L-RD/Adon who heals you;
The L-RD/Adon your healer; (Exodus. 15v26).
Adonai Ro'i. (ro-ee The L-RD my Shepherd (Psalm. 23:1, Ezekiel. 34v2). The L-RD’ who heals you.
According to Genesis 14: 18-20, Melchizedek, king of Salem, now Jerusalem, was "a priest of G-d Most High [El Elyon]”
Melchizedek blessed Abraham by "G-d Most High, Creator of heaven and earth”.
Abraham accepted the title "Most High" as merely descriptive of his own G-d; he swore by "YHWH, G-d Most High, Creator of heaven and earth”. .
"YHWH Echad" = YHVH is ONE.
In addition, we are to one in Him as Moshiach YAHshua and YHVH are.
We must remember Avrahm was called out of idolatry, for his father was a maker of idols.
Abraham knew the difference and who to give the credit.
El Shaddai, G-d tells Moses Exodus 6: v3 that G-d "appeared to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob as El Shaddai. El Shaddai would mean "El-of-the-Mountain”, i.e., of the cosmic mountain, the abode of El; for the Patriarchs the term would mean "the God of Heaven”.
The Almighty, Adonai. See Notes 1a1 Adonai Mekaddishkhem “The Lord your Sanctifier.” This covenant name portrays the Master potter as our means of sanctification, or as the one who sets believers apart for His purposes (Exodus. 31v13). The LORD my Miracle.
In addition, His name Yaweh, is still highly sacred with the Hebrew nation. So much in fact, that some will not say His name today without feeling so unworthy.
For instance, the sacred name of EL Elyon spoken only 10 times once per year (during Yom Kippur) by the Kohen Gadol (the High Priest) When the people heard the Name, they prostrated themselves in deep reverence. (Ref. Yoma 39b)
The question may then be, shouldn’t the gentiles in-grafted into the branch, not then, have true reverence to the Great, the Mighty, the Revered, the Majestic, supreme King of Kings, Adonai Elohim?
Of course, without a second thought.
So what does it take to be in-grafted .
There are those who are IN grafted in,... and those who have NOT taken root into the vine.
IN-grafted is a Process.... First, you select a Good stalk (Suitable...like a precious Lamb) then you graft it in,...this takes spearing the main vine or tree stalk... the main stalk will "Bleed A Little" ...However...it is necessary for the process.
After which is the healing balm applied as in the Balm of Gilead"... A wrapping of ahavah/ love is applied as the bandages used in the burial of Messiah....[the root of the word ahavah'.. is to give" we need to give of ourselves even unto death of the fleshly nature].
Lastly you watch and wait as a husbandmen does to see "IF' the graft takes properly....IF so then the sap of chaim/life will begin to flow into the new graft-making it part of the WHOLE.
IF not, then it is thrown into the Gehenna (fires)....
Messiah stated He was the vine. That would indicate the Master Creator YAH” is the root of all things …IF so, then we need far more, than a superficial nature of faith, belief and trust in order to bring forth true reverence in those we disciple.
For IF" we are secure into the vine or branches which we have been grafted to.
Then we really need to go to the depths of His understanding, wisdom and knowledge in order to teach others. This requires much cave time, much time in the washing process and lastly, much reverence.
We need the depth which the DeepWell of Adonai has to offer. For it is often a parched land we are sent to, many dry bones.
In order to be effective, Servants need to be filled with utmost joy overflowing that Yahshua is the way truth and life with all reverence.
No compromise here.
We need to be so filled to overflowing with the Saviors Ahavah/love and the Masters Character that as Servants, we become an overflowing DeepWell of love and Knowledge.
The woman at Ya’acobs well, was representative of all mankind. Her water pot was empty and when filled with what religion had to offer, she had a full heart, a full pot of water, but it was water that never fulfilled her, She was always thirsty, always returning to the well that could never quench her thirst.
Messiah had an answer, you should too..
Today, generally people do not mind shouting for joy even though they do not have a full reverence to who our Creator really is.
Moreover, some of the shouts are for fleshly-centered victories that affect the kingdom of G-d in righteousness, little, if at all.
In many cases, churches are like the empty water pot of the woman at the well.
They satisfy for a moment perhaps even a day or week but when the real issues of life are starring them down, they faint from thirst.
The well they visit is oftentimes dry of covenant torah truth. The true servant is well prepared with the Master of ceremonies instructions.
My perception of this. If we get a right image of Adonai in all His glory, majesty and honor due.
Then, we will give ourselves over to the Ruach/the Spirit of G-D as a yielded vessel of glorious honor unto Him.
Dear friend, only when we come face to face with the Master like the woman at the well, fully recognizing that it was not in the Jewish traditions, and it was not in the Samaritan traditions of religion, nor in Christian theology, or any vain concepts of Man, but that it was a matter of the heart, she cried out, this Heart cry "give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw.” (ref., 15)
Father YAH always answers the Heart cry, it is HIS nature. When the Servant comes to a place of absolute surrender. Then, and only then, will we be the right image, of G-d formed in and through us, gleaned from years at the well of life giving water. My greatest prayer for you dear reader, Choose life and liberty in Messiah there is no other way. Messiah Crucified, is a "DeepWell of water springing up into everlasting life". When you cry out as Shual that all that you want in life is to know YAHshua,… Him as the Sacrificial lamb of YAH and the Ruach power of Him resurrected… you will have found the Gateway into His awesome presence. Friend, I cannot write it nor speak it enough, we need true reverence.
He reveals Himself to you as "the Lord, your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, your King" (Isaiah\YeshaYAHu.43: 15).
As the Creator of Israel, He creates new things – “which you have neither seen nor heard since the beginning of this world” (Isaiah\YeshaYAHu64:4).
There is so much perversion coming to the world in coming years, ...so much distortion away from Torah truth that this promise is meant for His chosen people who listen and obey.
He wishes to call you up higher than the court of the Gentiles. YAHshua wishes to take your hand and lead you into the Greater works servant role.
Just as He himself played a greater role in the teaching of Kingdom values, He wishes to teach you.
He is your High Priest and King, seated on a high throne above the worldly and the devilish kingdoms....With ministering Angels Proclaiming” that He is the Mighty, the Revered, the Majestic, supreme King of Kings.
Adonai the most High G-d, first of the chosen Hebrew nation, now to all who trust in Him. Creative Love is the Ruach’s nature, the Spirit helper, comforter’ in times of need lifting you into the healing, helping hands of the Master.
“These things I command you, that ye love one another”….John 15:17
Friend, Can you hear the wind of Adonai lifting you into the healing, helping hands of the Master.
Some have had this pleasure.
The scroll declares “Where the Spirit of the Master is there is Liberty, that is the place where you feel the breath of God upon you.
That my friend is the place where the “fullness of the fruit” indwelling, is to be obtained.
That is the key friends, true freedom, true love from the Master in His liberty and spirit bringing forth ultimate glory. As servants, we share in the joy of being a part. Selah.
The Master’s true love operating in and through us, is an acceptance of all that is, has been, will be, or not be, forevermore.
The wind hears His Word and obeys Him (Mark 4:39). As disciples of the Ruach, we ask many things. Yet one thing is certain every truth and everything you will ever require is in the well of His love.
I can only hope that in the days to come, there will be a reformation of reverence to The Master of all creation. A Covenant’ church without spot or blemish we have yet to become. When was the last time YAHshua/Jesus met you there and filled your empty heart with "LIFE GIVING WATER"? It is not all’ your fault you know…Unless you are the Shepherd over the flock.
The Shepherd has a duty to preach a LIVING messiah every time you attend the assembly. Where it becomes your fault is if you are content with carrying around an empty water-pot (heart) looking for love and looking for real covenant truth in all the wrong places.
It really is first up to you to read read read until your bible becomes truth within you Ah we wrestle with the flesh…continually, and yet some of us are counted among the over-comers. Those bid Welcome “well-done”... obedient "Shamash"/ Servant.
END of Chapter One......
MORE to come......Shalom upon your home
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Seasons.......................
This is an important lesson we need today understanding of times and seasons. Yahshua stated to Nicodemas, the rabbi John3…“you are a teacher of Yisreal’ and you know not the season you are in”
Friend, while we jump and shout and Praise Him… let us as well keep our eyes tuned to the seasons of the Lord. Why would I say that Because …Hebrews 13v8 states it well. He is the same yesterday, today and forever and Eccl 3 becomes a little more understandable, there is a season preparing the way, A time of breaking up the fallow ground, the seed dying, being planted, then a season of springing forth as well as walking in the ways of Messiah before the Master Creator.
This exercise will help.
The Law of Moses includes the feasts and festivals.
The law was laid out that God said He would do certain things on these days of feasts and festivals.
If you study the law and study Moses (Torah, first five books) and study the old testament enough you can tell when you read the New Brit/Testament what day, what month, what year is going on by what feasts or festival they are keeping that YAHshua went to.
You can tell when John the Baptist’s father Zechariahs was in the temple in Yerushalayim as Priest making the offering unto the Yaweh.That is when the Angel of the L-rd appeared to him, telling him he and his barren wife were going to have a son and to name him Yochanan /John. Kind of like the Abram and Sarai story.
You can tell from there by the Jewish calendar. Many people have researched this topic regarding the Messiah’s birth and many born again professing Hebrews and Rabbi’s did and came up with September eleventh. Americans will not soon forget this date. That is when the Shepherds abide in the field. That is when you have the season of heat and that burst of heat at the end that is it right there and that is where the Feast of Tabernacles is. That is when EL-Elyon came and tabernacled with Israel and that’s is what Adonai did He tabernacled in the flesh. In YAHshua, the Messiah.
That is the time for it and when G-d said He would do it.
That is the feast and festivals and that is what He said He would do. In the wintertime, the Shepherds are not out freezing in the fields, caring for the sheep, its just not happening. That is the feast and festivals and that is what He said He would do. However during the dark ages the RC Church, or as it was then known The Imperial Church of Rome"...they did not know when His birthday was so they picked this pagan date December 25th. It is the darkest, it is a winters solstice. In the world that is paganism, they worshiped the sun, the gods, and all that. This equates out to Sun-day worship In the winter solstice, to them it was likened to the sun was going away if they did not worship, and it would not come back. This also leads back to the time of Simeramis and Nimrod and Tamuz.
This is also why you see the bread or Host in the center of the sun image at the catholic services. Paganism at its finest.
In any case, the Catholic church of Rome picked this date December 25 to celebrate Messiah’s birthday. Simply, because it was the darkest time of the year. That is when the light shines the brightest, which is appropriate. Accurately so, because when Adonai’ gave YAHshua to humanity the roman empire was the darkest time in human history; it was brutal, vicious, ungodly…people were not worth anything, thrown to the lions, put in an arena, and all the gladiator games to kill them and stuff.
There was no compassion there was no love there was no respect for woman, men were just slaves, this was one of the darkests hours in human history.
Moreover, all the while Adonai’ called Israel out to be a light to the gentiles and Rome was occupying Israel.
So Israel was shrouded in complete darkness, there was nothing happening, they had not heard from a prophet in 400 years.
Therefore, the Angels come to Zechariah the priest and tell him that he and his barren wife of many years will be the father of Yochanan the one to be the forerunner announcing the coming Messiah. Moreover, this is the time, which the Angel Gabriel, is sent to Miriam. A young, yielding, pure in heart woman was chosen.
The servants among us know what that is for the greater works the heart must yield in total adoration and have no guile within it. Now that you know this about the Messiahs birth, does that mean go out and tear down the holiday? No! Unless YAHshua clearly whispers to lead the charge and given the resources of the worlds marketing at your disposal then what truth you know and share will suffice for the time at hand.
December is when the world acknowledges the birth of Jesus. Use it as a tool of sharing and giving and a celebration of light. Hanukah ,The festival of Lights"...is near the same time in any case. So put up some white lights. In addition, this is celebrated as one of the great times a year for reconciliation and restoration in families. Should it be changed? Of course; however unless the Vatican proclaims a change the world doesn’t care.
Moreover, it does not stop you from taking time in prayer at the right time and acknowledging the time and season, you are in.
We need a time to un-mask all the maze of worldly confusion so rapidly blinding us to true integrity and holiness. This may be that time.
Watchmen wake up, throw off the spirit of lethargy, and arise to a new and refreshing look into your destiny. The spirit of deception has cast a net, awaken the people to watch and they will soon see and discern where the mixture in the message comes in to play.
Truth laced with the fleshly goals of crafty people who attempt masking genuine truth with subtle lies.
Papa dealt with me on this type of Abiathar priest-hood and gave me the opportunity to come up higher, Stating “I could either line my pockets with gold or line the peoples hearts with truth” since truth and integrity were my goal, you know how I decided.
I suggest if given the same invite, if you have not already, you should with all reverence. The entrance to salvation is already open, Messiah paved the way, you determine if you walk the walk or not. How does this happen? How does the mixture in the message come into play. Simply put, a great number of people do not know the Bible and His character well enough to discern the difference.
This Priest of Adonai knew enough to teach us this "For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you have need again for someone to teach you the elementary principles of the oracles of God, and you have come to need milk and not solid food. For everyone who partakes only of milk, is not accustomed to the word of righteousness, for he is a babe. But solid food is for the mature, who, because of practice (Applying the Truth) have their senses trained to discern good and evil." Hebrews 5:12-14.
This well remembered proverb “Teach a child in the way to go and when they are old they will not depart from it” Parents once knew the meaning of this and parents did teach but do we do it today?
Most likely the distractions of this world are leading many away from reading and learning scriptural basics. Today bibles are removed or missing from most homes Sadly, no family prayer or bible reading in the home leads to an emptiness and longing in your heart for truth and guidance only found in the book of truths, The Bible.
Parents once did teach and by example following traditional memorable events one example is Passover, which is to be celebrated “Forever”, and many believers do so today. More so, as Yahshua became our Passover sacrifice, The Lamb of YAH.
Now YAHshua the High Priest is making intercession before G-d, in our behalf. Yet, with that favor upon us like that, many congregations perhaps due to erroneous teaching, choose to follow in the two sins of King Jeroboam remembered by Adoni, and proclaimed by His prophets, throughout scripture.
May I ask where did we go wrong?
if we obey the commands and do the will of the father, we win. Ah, but the flesh does not take well to the deep washing and purging from tradtions.
He died for you, rose again for you, what then would YAHshua not do for you? That is the major question and He is asking one thing on our part,… that is we continually acknowledge this great and magnificent work of creation. In addition, that HE IS the G-d that delivereth thee from the entanglements of the world.
That is just way out there. you know G-d is’ He exists but G-d is un-reachable by humans or at least by some denominational standards, forget that come boldly to the throne stuff.
Wrong He is reachable, Prophet Jeremiah crying to the people said in behalf of Yaweh’ “Call on Me and I will answer you and show you Greater things… Jeremiah .33:3
Apostle John was called up higher and turned to see the Voice Revelation 4:1
The Apostle Sha'ul/Paul said to the Hebrew people that ‘Yaweh’ is the same yesterday, today and forever” (Hebrews 13:8) That means even though we are under the grace (Favor of G-d since the garden) we should not be living as harlots and running to every golden calf meeting.
Every thing is as it always was, sin is sin and rebellion to His commandments, Idol worship and unbelief still are undesirable fire before the Lord.
The lying, stealing and plotting by administration that has grabbed at the ark of the church and not purged their heart of guile is still undesirable fire. Remember there are six things He hates and seven He abhors.
It seems Paul/Sha'ul as well stated he was working out his salvation, his consecration with fear and trembling. I assume Our Priest Paul was working out of the quagmire of being a Pharisee. Yes, it is time, we need a new and afresh look at Adonai’ in mighty power and love.
If we know His character, then we can know and have confidence to discern the way to go. The scriptures are full of who He is, and how He handles issues.
We simply need to take responsibility to read and understand for ourselves and not be miss-lead in some way other than the way. The old testament is full of physical battles, the New Brit/ Testament bring us to Spiritual battles resulting in physical victories.
Individual believers or members of the Body of Messiah are referred to as the “Temple of Adonai’ (1Cor.3v16; 6v19; 2Cor.6v16). God's virtue, vastness and presence are to be resident factors in His sanctuary or earthen temple. “ I and my Father will make our adobe with you” John 14:23)
We are to be the carriers of His presence today, clean, washed by the word permeating our very heart and the blood covering over our lives.
Men everywhere are looking for those who will dare to be different. When looking to the church they have been so disappointed! Integrity, faithfulness and purity and honestly do fail among professing 'Born Again Christians' today. However with that said hypocrisy and religiosity do abound unabated.
In our days, men have substituted religious forms and activities for spiritual life and reality. In addition, more often then not the real reason some of us have been led down fleshly paths is what is termed mental laziness’ people are not willing to study for themselves.
This lack of understanding prohibits some people from finding truth and praying until the answers come into glorious light. The Spirit/the-Ruach breathes life and is consistent in directing you. Therefore listen and you can hear the wind of His spirit directing you towards truth.
For YAHshua stated “My sheep know my voice and another they will not follow”. Yochanan 10: How can we know Adon’s character you may ask ? “Study to show yourself approved” a good word given to Timothy, is as well a good word for you…immerse yourself in the written word and allow the Spirit freedom to rightly divide the truth from the interpolation.
Simply said, read the written word, study and pray that revealing truth permeate you through and through.
Sit at the Masters feet year after year in adoration, all the while pressing into the High call for your life.
Learn and understand the Torah, His law, His commandments, festivals and great celebrations as in Passover it is written that this should be observed forever and even now as the Savior is our Passover lamb sheered and slain once, for all humanity who acknowledge Yahshua.
You can have everything you require given right into your hands if you obey and do not play.
faithfulness and obedience is absolute for those who come to trust and adhere to His ways.
Personally I enjoyed learning some of the talmudic interpolations, one way is to befriend a local Rabbi or Check out Aramaic/Hebrew apologetics groups and discern with your heart the real hidden depths of His well.
You will be challenged, however You will not be disappointed.
Perhaps another good source tool I might recommend if you are English only, is an Amplified Bible this may reveal for you some hidden yet profound meanings, many ministries are using this rendition to teach with, for greater clarity, and is found to be an easy read.
Look up the Aramaic Peshitta Bible Repository, they have many translations to work with. The point of this exercise is for you to search as the Spirit draws you and you know in your heart you’ have found the vestibule of heaven.
I can hear some skeptic percieving the writer of DeepWell does not believe the Bible: Wrong Perception!
I believe every true word. Adonai condemns any addition, subtraction, or modification of His’ Word. These are some examples "You shall not add to the commandment which I command you, neither shall you take from it, but you must keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.” Deut. 4:2.
Church of Rome followers should look long and hard at this then go ask why the Roman leaders decided to rid themselves of the second commandment and then split one commandment into two.
With this second commandment regarding Idol worship Excluded in the Septuagint, people are led astray.
The transcriber Jerome was responsible for this and many other admitted errors, because of a hard timeline in which to finish his work. By doing this change, perhaps unknowingly it would lead to a totally gentile church globally immersed into Idol worship. And today millions now bow down to sun goddesses and traditions that have nothing to do with the blood covenant. This was done to deceive innocent people into Idol worship strongly forbidden to the believers throughout all scripture.
Interestingly this is a quote ascribed to Miriam at the wedding feast at Cannan "Everything that He commands you, that you must do “ …… Our English Bible translation gradually developed over the last six hundred years.
John Wycliffe is credited with the first English translation of the New Testament which was completed about 1380 C.E. Until that time the Word of Yahowah was locked up in the Latin tongue which was unknown to the common people.
The Latin Vulgate translated by Jerome about 400 C.E. was the standard Bible used in the Catholic Church. Wycliffe's translation is based upon the Latin Vulgate, not the Greek. It is therefore a "version of a version." In Wycliffe's version, John 1:3-4 use the word "him" in reference to the "Word" of verse 1 and is a translation of the Latin "ipsum" and "ipso" (he, she, or it). The next great English translator was William Tyndale. He was an excellent Greek scholar who had access to the Greek text of Erasmus which Wycliffe did not have.
The hand of the Almighty was upon Mr. Tyndale as He used him to give us our first English translation based upon the Hebrew and Greek. His New Testament was published in 1526 and revised to its final state in 1534. Tyndale's translation of John 1:3-4 reads, "All things were made by it, and without it, was made nothing that was made. In it was life, and the life was the light of men." As you can see, Tyndale used "it" instead of "him." "It" is a translation of the Greek "autou" meaning he, she, or it.
What this tells us is that Tyndale did not read Messiah into the "logos" or "word" of verse 1 and he was not influenced by the Latin Vulgate or Wycliffe. Then, Miles Coverdale, a friend of Tyndale, gave us the first complete Bible printed in English in 1535. It was not a firsthand translation from the Hebrew and Greek, but was based on the Latin Vulgate and Tyndale's translation. Coverdale used "him" in John 1:3-4. In 1537, John Rogers, using the pseudonym "Thomas Matthew," published a translation based largely on Tyndale and Coverdale which became known as Matthew's Bible. He uses "it" in John 1:3-4. The Great Bible followed in 1539 and was a revision of Matthew's Bible.
The first edition was prepared by Miles Coverdale. For some reason Coverdale decided "it" was more correct than "him" which appeared in his 1535 version based on the Latin Vulgate and left John 1:3-4 as it was in Matthew's translation, "it" instead of "him.".
The Great Bible was the first authorized English version and was ordered to be placed in every church. Under Queen Mary the printing of the English Bible ended and its use in the churches was forbidden. This gave rise to a version completed in Geneva.
The Geneva Bible of 1560 was the first Bible to have numbered verses, each set off as a separate paragraph. This Bible became the "household Bible of the English-speaking nations."
It held that position for about 75 years.
It was Shakespeare's Bible and that of the Puritans who settled New England. Once again, the translation of John 1:3-4 follows Tyndale's Example, "it" instead of "him." Queen Elizabeth eventually reinstated the order that a copy of the Bible be placed in every church and she encouraged its reading. Since there were not enough copies of the Great Bible, the bishops themselves made a new revision known as the Bishop's Bible.
It was published in 1568.
It was used mostly by the clergy, not being very popular with the common people. It, too, renders John 1:3-4 using "it," not "him." In 1582, the Roman Catholic version of the New Testament was completed and known as the Rheims New Testament. It was the result of a battle between Papists and Protestants, the former believing the Latin Vulgate to be the standard upon which all translations should be made. It was the work of Roman Catholic scholars based on the Latin. They chose to render John 1:3-4 using "him" as did the previous versions based on the Vulgate.
From that point on, all future versions, beginning with the King James version of 1611, used "him" instead of "it" in their translation of John 1:3-4. As you can see, the following translation of John 1:3-4 is not without historic and linguistic foundation; "All things were made by it, and without it, was made nothing that was made. In it was life, and the life was the light of men." The "logos" (Word) of John 1:1 means "the spoken word" or "something said (including the thought)." In that sense the word is an "it," not a person but a thing. In other words, Yahowah spoke creation into existence. This understanding agrees perfectly with passages such as Gen.1:3,6,9,11,14,20, and 24, all of which begin, "And Elohim said." Yahowah spoke and it was done. Ps.33v6,9 says, "By the word of Yahowah were the heavens made; and all the host by the breath of His mouth. . . For He spoke and it was; He commanded, and it stood fast." Not only did EL'Elyon speak creation into existence, but He also spoke His Son YAHshua into existence; "And the word (Yahweh's spoken word) was made flesh" (John.1v14). Yahoshua did not become the living "Word of Yahowah" until His birth as a flesh and blood male child. To say the "logos" of John 1:1 is a reference to Messiah is to read Him into the text.
Early Roman Catholic scholars had to do this in order to support their unscriptural trinity doctrine. and no one wants to change it, so if Messiah did not pre-exist, the trinity doctrine would collapse, it being based upon the belief that all three members of the "godhead" were co-eternal. Since Messiah only pre-existed in Yahwah's plan of salvation and not literally, the trinity doctrine is without foundation. Ask a Hebrew Rabbi what they think they have been studing this a lot longer than most of us at least a few thousand years, the answer "One God"the only God! The Messianic Hebrews equate to One God and Yahshua is that God who tabernacled among us (John1v14) in the flesh as the way, the truth, the life. The deliverer from this darked age. Want something to frighten you, as to how far the man made up doctrines go acquire a copy of the doctrinal history of the Catholic church of Rome, follow the date lines it is eye opening, from making the sign of the Cross in 310 AD. The worship of Mary in 431 AD the Mary worship 788 AD, Moreover, they really did not want people to read the scriptures for themselves. Get this one “Bible forbidden to laymen 1229AD that leaves the common people out…This was another dark time in history.
The Inquisition, for those not familiar with that dark season which lasted nearly 500 years, was a Roman Catholic tribunal for discovery and punishment of heresy. It was marked by the severity of questioning and punishment, by the lack of rights afforded to the accused, and by the frequent torture and cruel execution of the "heretics”. Mr. Tynedale a simple bible translator was among these, his crime, translating the scriptures so that people would know G-d. However, church Pharisee laws dictated that people did not need to know or read the scriptures, therefore many were killed and tortured. Numbers range in to the hundreds of thousands Some of this is like nebachadnezzar calling people to bow down at certain times can you hear the bell ring. The do’s and don’ts of control We as a people of G-d need to know history to avoid traps of misrepresentation look friend you bow your knee in reverence to Almighty G-d and no one else. Nine hundred million people today under one Pope who essentially cannot read nor discern for themselves. Mostly because they are not told to. Such a travesty. That would attempt to usurp the Bible Apostle John to be a liar as we read 1st John 2:27 “You have need of No Man teach you but the Holy Spirit /Ruach HaKodosh teaches every man”. This man Yochanan/ John laid His head upon Yahshua and heard the heartbeat of Adonai’. Personally, I think John got truth and got it good.
We can add a few more to the list.
Doctrine of Purgatory under Bishop Gregory 593AD.
Prayers to be directed to Mary ordered 600AD.
Worship of the cross, relics and images declared 788AD.
No problem with Graven images in this church… Fabrication and use of Holy water 850AD, Fasting on Fridays and during Lent 998AD.
Institution of Rosary prayer beads 1090AD
Immaculate Conception of (virgin) Mary 1854 AD, this is some eighteen hundred years after the messiah visits us with truth.
This one here is a bit much; Pope declared to be Lord God” 1580 AD ...sorry that one deserves a rebuke from Papa.
Pope declared to be Jesus Christ 1922AD.
Fortunately at the onset of the 16th Century Europe was bracing for the early contractions of the Reformation, men like Martin Luther and others cried with a loud voice enough is enough.
This reformation is needed today as was the tea party held in Boston in the early days of America, it is time for a new reformation with clarity. Honestly, I am not picking on this group as much as I am showing how the traditions of men come into play long after the Author and Finisher of our faith has sat down. They come up with this concocted stuff bearing no fruit for the Kingdom of Adonai’. Really, boils down to control, and many people are buying into this pabulum today, then again, many are running from it as you are. More and more people are searching for truth Honesty and integrity in Godly Leaders.
If you have you read Foxes book of martyrs that will complete the story for you. Why do these things happen When you no longer hear the voice of Adonai’ is when you start creating Levitical Laws. An example, when the prophets were proclaiming a coming Messiah 700 –600 BC then 400 silent years just before His entrance, no voice of guidance existed. What happened? more temple laws and temple festivals forgetting the weightier things like community, giving etc. This is where we are today, into our religion, and not much Kingdom gifting in operation. The modern church has made an effort in stifling the prophetic and Apostolic, however a word of encouragement, those who are Apostolic and Prophetic will prevail as surely as He will prevail as the lion of the tribe of Judah.
I am always perplexed that people will fall into false groups and never consider the foundation it is based upon, for example; if my mega church murdered nearly one million people E.G. The Inquisition period, trying to hide truth and promote propaganda and never apologized for it personally I would not bow down at that graven altar, would you?. I believe the bible states that liars will not inherit the power nor the Kingdom of God. Personally, I like Virtue flowing through me healing a person that is the real power and dominion. I equate it like 220 Volts going through you with out the bite. Pure unadulterated passion to heal His creation. Friend connect to that and everything else gets real pale in comparison On the other hand, how about a smaller church group who established a church in rebellion or a split church begins in anger and discord, this is usually a bad foundation,. Nearly always there follows bad teaching unless there is reconciliation with previous leadership, for it will always be tainted even when they say it is all about Jesus more than likely it is full of self centered foolishness.
Break loose, break free from traditions of men as kings kids by invoking goodness and mercy over our lives instead of despair and confusion. I have always found the peace, the Shalom and power in this simplicity “where the Spirit of the Lord is there is liberty”, liberty for the miraculous, Liberty for healings, Liberty for God almighty to show Himself arrayed in power healing and Glory.
I have been counseled that the strongest points in ascertaining the originality of a text are the style of writing, the idioms, and the internal evidence. Words, which make sense, and are easily understood in one language, when translated, literally into another language, may lose their complete meaning. Research indicates that scores of Aramaic words, some with several meanings and others with close resemblance to other words, were confused and perhaps some mistranslated.
This is a sample of some differences in translations.
In Jeremiah 4: 10, we read in the King James: Original translation…Ah, LORD God! Surely thou hast greatly deceived this people Newer translation 10Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! Surely thou hast greatly deceived this people and Jerusalem, saying, Ye shall have peace; whereas the sword reacheth unto the soul ... Jeremiah 4:10 (Amplified Bible) 10Then I [Jeremiah] said, Alas, Lord God! Surely, You have greatly deceived and misled this people and Jerusalem, [for the prophets represented You as] saying [to Your people], You shall have peace, whereas the sword has reached to [their very] life. "
The Aramaic lamsa translation reads: " . . . Ah, LORD God! I' have greatly deceived this people. .. "
The translator's confusion is due to the position of a dot, for the position of a dot frequently determines the meaning of a word.
In Isaiah 43:28, the King James version reads: "Therefore, I have profaned the princes of the sanctuary... " 28Therefore I have profaned the princes of the sanctuary, and have given Jacob to the curse, and Israel to reproaches.
The Aramaic reads • ... Your princes have profaned my sanctuary. . " This error was caused by misunderstanding a passive plural verb.
The same error occurs in John 12:40, which in the Eastern Text reads: '` ... Their eyes have become blind. .. " instead of " ... He hath blinded their eyes..."
In Isaiah 14:12, the Aramaic word ailel, to howl, is confused by the Hebrew word helel, light. The reference here is to the king of Babylon and not to satan, this in itself is an interesting study . In Psalm 22:29, King James version, we read: "All they that be fat upon earth shall eat and worship- . . . and none can keep alive his own soul." Amp. 29 All the mighty ones upon earth shall eat [in thanksgiving] and worship; all they that go down to the dust shall bow before Him, even he who cannot keep himself alive.
The Aramaic text reads: "All those who are hungry (for truth) shall eat and worship ... my soul is alive to him.”
The error in this instance is due to the confusion of the Aramaic words, which have some resemblance.
The following are some comments from the Encarta Encyclopedia. “It is very important to know that the Hebrew and Greek letters that were found, are only translations that were written 150 to 300 years after Yahshua/Jesus. It is important to know that Yahshua/Jesus did not speak Greek, [keep in mind He was sent to the lost sheep of Israel], So therefore, the Greek letters are nothing but a translation (which could have many faults in it) from Aramaic to Greek. This also applies to Hebrew. When you translate a doctrine that was written hundreds of years after the fact into another language, then you cannot really claim that your sources are 100% correct. The Aramaic Language and Semitic language closely relate to Hebrew. Originally, the language of the Arameans was used, in many dialectical forms, in Mesopotamia and Syria before 1000BC and later became the lingua franca of the Middle East (Assyro-Babylonian Language). Aramaic survived the fall of Nineveh (612BC) and Babylon (539BC) and remained the official language of the Persian Empire (539-337BC). Ancient inscriptions in Aramaic have been found over a vast area extending from Egypt to China. Before the Christian era, Aramaic had become the language of the Jews in Palestine. Jesus preached in Aramaic, and parts of the Old Testament and much of the rabbinical literature were written in that language. Christian Aramaic, usually called Syriac, also developed an extensive literature, especially from the 4th to 7th centuries. Aramaic began to decline in the 7th century AD. Aramaic survives today in Eastern and Western dialects, mostly as the language of Christians living in a few scattered communities in Syria, Lebanon, Turkey, Iraq, and Iran.
What say the Prophet;
Jeremiah 8:8
How can you say, We are wise, and we have the written law of the Lord [and are learned in its language and teachings]? Behold, the truth is, the lying pen of the scribes has made of the law a falsehood (a mere code of ceremonial observances). Cross-reference:
Mark 7:13 Thus you are nullifying and making void and of no effect [the authority of] the Word of God through your tradition, which you [in turn] hand on. And many things of this kind you are doing.
This sounds of reproof from Yahshua.
Truly some people will not feel the need to look any deeper, and for those who do please; do not make a new doctrine out of it. People already are confused enough.
However, if the Ruach/Holy Spirit quickens you to a different thought or meaning do not dismiss it as the devil, research it. An example of this was every time I said “to be absent from the body was to be present with the lord… I was given this in the spirit,” To be absent from the body is to be a present to the Lord” Hmmm…. since we are going back to Him anyway, I did not argue.
For me I wanted to know Him and with that knowledge, to truly love not only Him but myself a little more in the process of illumination. I think that is where Paul/ Sha'ul was when he stated all he wanted was to know is Yahshua. The Messiah sacrificed for the rebellion of the world and the Power of Yahshua’s resurrection, You might base your gospel on these three things…Know Him, Thank Him, and Give Adonai praise and worship for He is undeniably the God of the universe. Last but not forgotten, remember He must know you otherwise you may hear depart I knew you not, Instead of well-done, good and faithful servant.
Hearing His voice say son or daughter is of great importance and quite comforting If you truly want to know the truth believe me, you will turn over every cliché and line it up, or discard the vain babblings of cunning men who only deceive. Some only due to bad learning, given the doubt, they really mean well, just misinformed.
We cannot hang around the devils den very long, before we do not hear the voice of Yahshua speaking clearly. We find ourselves at some point no longer listening to the wind directing us, instead we follow leaders of the charismatic persuasion who in turn lead us into building new temples and good works ministries. This may be good for them but we are all judged on our Godly works that prevail and do not burn up as wood, stubble and hay.
So, you say BUT my church... does all these things, yes and you sit there giving your buck expecting it to guarantee your personal righteousness and accountability toward your purpose in the great commission. And all the while spouting out another great Cliché that is not my calling brother, Say what! not to personally feed your neighbor/the hungry, if the need arises, or personally not clothe the naked, if so lets go back to Genesis’s and start reading through the Bible again, for it seems you missed something important, it is you, who are sent. I remember a time when I was in food outreach, a local minister came to me to help some people and I did, however one day this women drove up in a Cadillac and with her was another woman who was a missionary. They had brought a Hispanic women with them who remained in the back seat. They were asking for food for the woman and the spirit prompted me to ask this, “did you do anything for her ?” the answer was no. So I stated they should first go home and open up their cabinet doors and try to help her, then I would more than double their offering to the women in need. The next morning I called the minister and asked the question, I already knew the answer. “Between the two of you were you able to give the woman in need anything”, and the answer was no, not even a can of beans, nothing. perhaps you do not agree but if we are the hands and feet of the Lord, would not it seem that we could do something to help in a time of need?.
For me I see those times as a time of blessing when our Abba chooses us first to help another of His creation. Today Administration type ministries have been established to take the burden off the local churches and they refer the needy away from the church. Someone else gets their hands dirty feeding the hungry and clothing the naked, and being blessed. These referral services as well hit up the referring churches for funding,… something is wrong with this picture, the church has chosen the path to keeping their parking lots clean and just feeding out the pabulum of a weak gospel. The Apostolic and biblical style is to feed the hungry and clothe the naked as well as provide sound doctrine .
We all hold certain beliefs and yet our certainty does not guarantee the truth of those beliefs based on a mans interpolation . Theirfore II submit the wise way is to inquire of the Spirit/ Ruach and test all things and make them subject to His clear and concise word.
not by tradition, manipulation or a more poetic way of interpretation.
When your research is over, you may not want to play in the pabulum filled playground, or the court of the gentiles ever again.
You will, however, have found the balance and equity in a higher grade of relationship with the Master, than ever before. For you will hear… “come up higher and learn of Me”.
“The cost of ignorance remains higher than any man is willing to pay, compared to the value of learning and listening to almighty God, which is valued as, Freely receive, freely give”.
Ruach/JLH
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Deeper we go............................Step 2
Friend, The spoken words of Adonai have the real depth you are yearning for; the Hebrew and Aramaic language is filled with expression, missing in some modern bible translations. When you hear a standard cliché check it out, find the real depth, fall in love with the true word, and learn to , spit out the wood stubble and hay [the filler] in other-words spit out the amen’s, halleluiahs and thus saith the lords and see really what you are being fed.
There are many ‘understandings’ of whom the Lord is, and we have to know whom to trust. First the Holy Sprit/Ruach Ha’Kodosh. If something questionable comes up, do not feel guilty or ashamed.
You investigate the issue until you get resolution. One of the Key verses is to renew our minds. {Romans 12:2}
This is a part of being under His lordship. Feel free to "question everything". Ask for wisdom and it will be given. James1: I personally feel you cannot trust tradition, concepts of religion, or culture without taking the time to read and research. As strangers in a foreign land we must make a way though it without taking on the values or traditions of the people inhabiting the land.
I give you encouragement to dig into the word, that may not make me more friends, but then a thumb up from someone set free from religious pabulum is enough of a pat on the back for me. It would seem, that after the second world war, this progressive nation has leaned to secular humanistic teaching. That in turn has taught us to feel good.
Moreover the “I’m ok your ok, type gospel is part of the healing process, toss in those aforementioned clichés and we have a pabulum driven church void of the true depth of His word in truth and Life. Yahshua stated His words were Life and that more abundantly. Yochanan 10:9-10 “I am the Door; anyone who enters in through Me will be saved (will live). He will come in and he will go out [freely], and will find pasture. 10 The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows). Amp.
We gentiles need more of what Paul/Sha'ul was teaching in first Corinthians 2:13 “This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom but in words taught by the Spirit, expressing spiritual truths in spiritual words. This sounds more like water walking teaching than we are used to receiving today.
Our Father of all creation loves to give, He is known to speak blessings without taking a breath, and then bestowing favor and abundance in a way more rich than all the silver and gold know on this planet. Yet, with everything already at our disposal, the bowl of blessing continues to pour with bountiful grace more than any man could ever use up. Even Yahshua’s obedience to His Father represents a greater love, For did He not say Greater love hath no one, than to lay down there life for another.
He is perfectly unselfish and wholeheartedly generous. 1 Yochanan. 4:8-11. 8 He who does not love has not become acquainted with God [does not and never did know Him], for God is love. 9 In this the love of God was made manifest (displayed) where we are concerned: in that God sent His Son, [Yahshua] the only begotten or unique [Son], into the world so that we might live through Him. 10 In this is love: not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation (the atoning sacrifice) for our sins. 11 Beloved, if God loved us so [very much], we also ought to love one another. Adonai is the most bountiful giver, no one can out give Him, even to the ungrateful and selfish; He is full of mercy and kindness.
Lk.6:35,36. 35 But love your enemies, and be kind and do good, [doing favors so that someone derives benefit from them] and lend, expecting and hoping for nothing in return but considering nothing as lost and despairing of no one; and then your recompense (your reward) will be great, (rich, strong, intense, and abundant), and you will be sons of the Most High, for He is kind and charitable and good to the ungrateful and the selfish and wicked. 36 So be merciful (sympathetic, tender, responsive, and compassionate) even as your Father is [all these]. Ps.103. all. 107:8,15,21,31,43.
Our Father of love even gave His own Precious begotten Son for our salvation.
Yahshua as the door of entrance, into the vast richness of Heaven. Can’t beat that! He freely gives us all things.
Yaweh so loved the world, [His Creation] He Gave …and continues to give. Yochanan 3:16.
The Apostle, to the Lord, Paul; Wrote this to the Roman church. Vs 8:31-39. 31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? 32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? 33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth. 34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. 37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. 38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Our heavenly Father loves us so much, that through the name of Yahshua HaMashiach we gain entrance into the vast wealth of heaven, for He alone is the scepter, leaned in our favor, granting you come through the veil where everything is granted that came be granted, as YAHshua bid Cephas (Peter) to come.
As with Mordecai, everything your enemy has taken by force and cunning will now be gathered together and bestowed upon you. First favor with the king all your days, paraded before the people with a shout this is my beloved, a child of heir. The enemy must bow before the signet of almighty God Adon Himself proclaims you righteousness by the blood of the lamb redeemed for His great pleasure and glorification. We are so very precious to Adon, He makes us the objects of His wondrous love and affection. [Yochanan.16:24,27] “Up to this time you have not asked a [single] thing in My Name [as presenting all that I AM]; but now ask and keep on asking and you will receive, so that your joy (gladness, delight) may be full and complete.... 27 For the Father Himself [tenderly] loves you because you have loved Me and have believed that I came out from the Father.. Amplified Our heavenly Father is much more loving and kind than the very best earthly father. [Matthew 7:7-11] 7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: 8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. 9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? 10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent? 11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him? Lk.11:9-10 Cries out the same testimony 9 And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. Vs 10 “For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened..)
It is an overwhelming, and amazing fact that Yahweh loves us with the same tender love that He loves His only begotten Son, Yahshua. [Yochanan.17:23] “I in them and You in Me, in order that they may become one and perfectly united, that the world may know and [definitely] recognize that You sent Me and that You have loved them [even] as You have loved Me. Yahshua loves us completely, when we trust Him as Savior on this incredible level of love. Adon's love is always a "much more" love, it "surpasses human understanding" and longs to do "immeasurably more than all our highest prayers or thoughts, or hopes and dreams”.
The Apostle to the Lord, Paul wrote us a description in [Ephesians 3:20] “Now to Him Who, by (in consequence of) the [action of His] power that is at work within us, is able to [carry out His purpose and] do superabundantly, far over and above all that we [dare] ask or think [infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, hopes, or dreams”. Roni, Roni, Rejoice, rejoice in His wonderful love, and claim and receive His "exceeding great and precious promises" to you.
Peter again leads us toward truth and love in 2Pet.1:1-4.
1 “SIMON PETER, a servant and apostle (special messenger) of Jesus the Christ, to those who have received (obtained an equal privilege of) like precious faith with ourselves in and through the righteousness of our Adon and Moshiach Yahshua:
2 May grace (God's favor) and peace (which is perfect well-being, all necessary good, all spiritual prosperity, and freedom from fears and agitating passions and moral conflicts) be multiplied to you in [the full, personal, precise, and correct] knowledge of God and of Yahshua our Lord.
3 For His divine power has bestowed upon us all things that [are requisite and suited] to life and godliness, through the [full, personal] knowledge of Him Who called us by and to His own glory and excellence (virtue).
4 By means of these He has bestowed on us His precious and exceedingly great promises, so that through them you may escape [by flight] from the moral decay (rottenness and corruption) that is in the world because of covetousness (lust and greed), and become sharers (partakers) of the divine nature.
Our heavenly Father desires us to know fully His character and Yahshua in a deeper way. The Apostle to the Lord, Paul, stated he only wanted to know Yahshua, Him crucified, and the Power of His resurrection. The Holy Spirit has come to reveal Yahshua and the Master Creator to us.
Yochanan 15v26
26But when the Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Advocate, Intercessor, Strengthener, Standby) comes, Whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of Truth Who comes (proceeds) from the Father, He [Himself] will testify regarding Me. 16:12-15. Eph.1:15-23. 3:14-21.
The disciples were full of joy and praise before Pentecost, because of a glorious fellowship with their risen Lord; however, Yahshua promised, and they experienced, as we can, a new and greater revelation of their Master. Before they had been sent, only following the directions of Yahshua. However, at their baptism in the Spirit on the day of Pentecost. For those who may not know, this was the second of the three great annual feasts which every male Israelite was required to attend **(Deut. 16:16).”
And it was a guaranteed full house, now that is good staging. **Charles W. Carter and Ralph Earle, The Acts of the Apostles (Grand Rapids: Zondervan Publishing House, 1973), p. 28. When Yahshua told the disciples to wait until they were endued with power, He only told them that it would not be many days until this took place (Acts 1:5). The actual day was “Shavout” the “day of Pentecost”.
One of the three major celebrations of Israel, The day of Pentecost was so called because it fell on the fiftieth day after the presentation of the first sheaf to be reaped of the barley harvest, that is, the fiftieth day from the first day of the week after Passover (pentekostos, is the Greek word for ‘fiftieth’). The 120 who waited in Jerusalem, experienced the coming of the Ruach HaKodosh on the day of Pentecost in the Upper Room 50 days (Fiftieth) after Messiah’s death and physical resurrection. YAHSHUA spent 40 days appearing after His resurrection, and they waited for 10 days before the pouring out of the Ruach HaKodosh.
There was the sound of a mighty rushing wind, the appearance of cloven tongues of fire sat upon their heads, there was shaking, Adonai” speaks through new tongues to those who are gathered in Jerusalem from all the nations in their own native tongue as the Spirit gave the utterance. And through this gift and the outpouring, three thousand were added to the church that day. Hmmm, Perhaps we should allow this today in our mainstream churches.
Among Hebrew- and Aramaic-speaking Jews it was known as ‘the feast of weeks’ (Ex. 34:22a; Deut. 16:10) and also as ‘the day of the firstfruits’ (Num. 28:26; cf. Ex. 23:16a) because on that day ‘the firstfruits of wheat harvest’ (Ex. 34:22a) were presented to Yahweh.” It seems worthy of note that this is the only major feast of Israel, which was not directly rooted in some event in Israel’s history. We know this from Paul’s words in Colossians that it was, at least, a “mere shadow of what is to come” (Colossians 2:17). I am sure, you are one of those wanting more of what is to come.
However, beset as we are by the world, the flesh and the demonic schemes, our own earthly armor fails us, we can only overcome by Adon's help, filled to overflowing, the baptism in the Spirit is His answer to our needs and a prevalent weapon fighting the intentional wickedness around us.
Our weapons of warfare are mighty in Yahshua to the pulling down of strongholds. {2nd Corinthians 10:3-6}
3 The world is unprincipled. It's dog-eat-dog out there! The world doesn't fight fair. But we don't live or fight our battles that way--never have and never will. 4 The tools of our trade aren't for marketing or manipulation, but they are for demolishing that entire massively corrupt culture. 5 We use our powerful God-tools for smashing warped philosophies, tearing down barriers erected against the truth of Adonai, fitting every loose thought and emotion and impulse into the structure of life shaped by Ruach HaKodosh. 6 Our tools are ready at hand for clearing the ground of every obstruction and building lives of obedience into maturity.
Verse six reminds us of Ephesians four where we are to grow Up into the full stature of the man, The anointed Messiah.
4: 12 His intention was the perfecting and the full equipping of the saints (His consecrated people), [that they should do] the work of ministering toward building up Christ's body (the church), 13[That it might develop] until we all attain oneness in the faith and in the comprehension of the [full and accurate] knowledge of the Son of God, that [we might arrive] at really mature manhood (the completeness of personality which is nothing less than the standard height of Messiahs own perfection), the measure of the stature of the fullness of the anointed One and the completeness found in Him. 14 So then, we may no longer be children, tossed [like ships] to and fro between chance gusts of teaching and wavering with every changing wind of doctrine, [the prey of] the cunning and cleverness of unscrupulous men, [gamblers engaged] in every shifting form of trickery in inventing errors to mislead. 15Rather, let our lives lovingly express truth [in all things, speaking truly, dealing truly, living truly]. Enfolded in love, let us grow up in every way and in all things into Him Who is the Head, [even] Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One). Amp.
We need the revelation of Adon, piercing to the inner depths of our souls, He must become our next breath, Revealing the goodness and power of Adonai. Our precious Master is the only thing that can bring any spiritual victory and satisfy our deepest longings to know Him, and be transformed 2nd Cor.3: 18 “But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.
The body of the Messiah, fitted together and grown up unto Him, must function properly together in our ordained destiny as Adon has set each one in the body of Christ. (1 Cor.12:18). We must also have more clarity, and strategically be ready to respond for the forthcoming outpouring and harvest. Servants, we have a part in this.
Truly as we draw closer in praise and intercession to the Lord, many hearts are going to be transformed simply by the revelation of His” purpose for their lives, ministry and the region. Many servants are posed on the banks of the Jordan ready to cross over into their destiny, and be a witness to the greatness of our Lord”. As we yield under the direction of Messiah and function together under the reign of His Kingdom, the Lord will be in our midst in a mighty way. Many trusting servants will see the wonders signs and miracles following His words.
There is a call for a deeper fellowship, many of us are hearing “Come up higher”…Rev 4:1 “After this I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven! And the first voice which I had heard addressing me like [the calling of] a war trumpet [Shofar] said, Come up here, and I will show you what must take place in the future”. As we head the call to follow in His ways the Ruach HaKodosh (HS) is calling His Bride to come up higher at this time and hour. America and many other nations are being visited for correction. It is back to "Biblical Truth" friends.
Many nations are crying out, the shed blood is crying out for truth and Love to permeate humanity toward righteousness No more of this foolishness Yaweh", is saying enough of this division with in His body, this personal kingdom building..., We need a common bond primarily with our Lord and with one another that in turn will establish the right foundation for a much needed move from Adonai.
It is the Master’s passion that we develop a profound relationship with Him” and Yahshua, His Son. I call it the Abiding factor, this theme echoes through the written words of the apostle to the L-rd, John who declares, “That which we have seen and heard we declare unto you, that you may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father and His Son YAHshua the word made flesh. And these things we write unto you, that your joy may be full. (1st John 1:3-4) The apostle John is inviting us to know the fellowship of the Father and His Son, one lesson Yochanan obviously earned. Truly, the Lord loves us to commune with His heart that we may know Him, absolutely and completely seeking wisdom, understanding and His un-fathomable love.
The results of intimacy with our Master and Savior, is a fresh infilling of His presence, that in turn releases any and all pain or hindrances that may be holding you back. Much of this is explained in another writing the “Cork in the Bottle”. Knowledge of Him allows greater trust in Him. The apostle to the Lord, Paul, wrote this “Now thanks be to God who always causes us to triumph in Messiah and makes known the swell fragrance of His knowledge by us in every place. For we are unto G-d a sweet fragrance of Manifestation, in them that are saved, and to them that perish.” (2 Cor. 2:14-15).
It is the overflow of our fellowship with the Father and His Son, that releases the sweet fragrance of praise from our lips This may be as simple as fellowshipping in the presence of His love, peace and joy to that bringing Kingdom power and demonstration. G-d wants to participate with us and for us to participate with Him as a part of our daily lives. King David tells us that in His presence there is fullness of joy. (Ps. 16:11)…. The result of being in the presence of the L-rd is joy- His joy.
There is n immense fullness of joy that comes when we partake of the Lord’s presence together in fellowship. The reason being that it brings joy to our L-rd when we partake of His presence together. Whether it is in our home, in a restaurant, at work or at play, we can enter into the joy of the Lord through fellowship. Yahshua is a real person. This is the invitation the apostle John gives to us “that your joy may be full”. It is the joy of the Lord that is our strength. Now is the time for heaven to be opened and revealed in our midst. It is here in the fellowship with the Father and His Son that we experience His love, power, wisdom and understanding together, as one in Him. The reality of this is evident by His peace, love and joy that reign in our midst. We are entering a time where we will come into the fullness of joy that comes from the fellowship of the Spirit as we have never known that will release in our midst the joy of the L-rd.
This will bring much needed strength to the body of Christ for it is the “joy of the Lord that is our strength”. I am fully convinced every child born should at the very least know that if an unseen voice should call out to them and they sense a peace with it, say in return “Here I am Lord! As the Priest Eli, instructed Samuel, who Adonai raised, to be a Prophet for the nation of Israel. As the priests of our homes, we should instruct our children in righteousness and show pure reverence. We are not to observe another lost and wandering generation growing up Fatherless. We are however to teach as the Ruach directs in covenant and adoration. Adonai is requiring men/women to stand up for integrity and righteousness in every area of life.
“Draw close to Him and He will draw close to you” see this as a reality and then you will have something to share in the marketplace settings.
No more foolishness, Maturity is required to understand the depths of His love found hidden in the well. Always remember no matter where He sends you in life, you are encased in His love. …If not for His love…
Perhaps when we pull down the high altars of false religion and every tradition that exalts itself above and against the true knowledge of Yaweh, will we find what we are seeking?
Lets us continue the journey.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Wash you clean................Step 3
You have no part in Me’, no part in My body, the separated, sanctified body of believers, if I’ do not wash you clean…first. First things first, a deep well of forgiveness is required to be a great servant of Yahshua, for without forgiveness we are merely drying up the heart of love, and without a true heart of love for others, we have little effect for the Kingdom of El Elyon.
Forgiveness starts in the heart of those afflicted. ................
I Know this lesson all to well............
Paul’s letter to the believers at Corinth comes to mind "without love we are” ...Simply stated, just noise. Read 1st Corinthians 13:1+. Judgment comes to every Idolatrous word. The world needs to see, waves and waves of Shekinah love, descending from heaven, and principally, through consecrated Servants, who in turn bring forth a Biblical style community life centered on love, healing and forgiveness in Messiahs unequivocal love However, First the washing from preconceived ideals Washing, from the old self. Washing, from pre-conceived notions.
Washing, from the pain and disappointments held over from yesterday. Lets read what the Sagan Priest Shual/Paul wrote to the followers of the Way: Remembering we are in the Renewed Marital covenant let us read together; Husbands, love your wives, even as Messiah[Christ] loved His’ church and gave Himself for it, That He might sanctify[ Set it apart] and cleanse it by the washing of water and by the word, [Torah is the basis for all word] In order to build for Himself a glorious Covenant [Church], without stain or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy [Sanctified/set apart] and without blemish.[Uncleanness]Ephesians, 5v25-27
Forgiveness; Undeniably, there is supernatural power in forgiveness, So much, that even the most astute of us could not pen words to describe the awesome power. Power unleashed into a persons life through this one, yet mightily important teaching.
At the most agonizing point of YAHshua’s life, these words echo throughout time “ Adonai’…forgive them, they know not what they do”. Luke 23:34 YAHshua paid a great price for His church. He gave His life.
Unknowingly, the Pharisees overseeing and plotting this deed moved us right into the RE-Newed covenant It was they themselves that set about to select the Lamb of sacrifice YAHshua, and eventually the scapegoat (Barrabas)to be set free. Theirfore, holding onto our pain from rejection or abuse is nothing compared to what pain Yahshua could have built up during His ministry years.
The plotting from the accusers daily against YAHshua, the betrayal that He felt within had to be forgiven daily seven times seventy. Without a doubt, YAHshua was a first partaker in that teaching. YAHshua a man acquainted with sorrows, even His brothers had accused Him as being mad. Yes, so much is forgiven when washed in the well. Release others and Satan will not hold onto your blessings, for it is not Adonai’ that is judging you by the law, but Satan who uses the laws of judgment through sowing and reaping, against you. Friends, It is not so much what you give, as to what you give over to Him who is able to bare.
There is now no condemnation for those who are in the covenant of Yahshua. We have no problem quoting this one However, in great honesty, for the greater works to come through you in true compassion. Forgiveness and release of things spoken against you is the only way toward your freedom.
This simple yet highly valuable key will allow the Ruach HaKodosh access to heal you deeply even down to the point of where that first infliction of pain entered your life. I t may be as deep down as spoken words into the womb… Yes, the affliction may be that deep. Deep down bitterness, will keep you from His mighty flowing power in your life. People of this world are crying out for change, deeply crying out from the heart and you are to be His’ trumpet of righteousness washed in the waters of compassion. So with that written, it is time to let go of the hindering issues. It is time to arise and walk in wholeness and healing. You have a strong message of Reconciliation within you. It is back to "Biblical Truth" friends. Many nations are crying out, the shed blood is crying out for truth and Love to permeate humanity toward righteousness toward a community resourced among itself. No more of this foolishness, this leaven of the Pharisees.
The world is crying out for change. Help me help me oh God, Please help. Most of these same people crying out do not know the real power associated in calling on G-d. Yet, they call out in desperation. Moreover, in that moment of heart-cry miracles happen.
We are a society that has a huge void in biblical understanding. Torah has been thrown out the door for the feel good doctrine and yet the Master gave us the basis for torah to first find out whom He is and second how to conduct our life with integrity.
However it is up to true believers to answer the call to evangelize. the I’m ok- your ok self healing gospel has lead us away from the Truth as spoken by Adonai Rebellion to His word has come about mainly because of errant teaching and diluting the truth making it palatable. The flip side is as well true it has become ritualistic and by the letter of the law in some instances Yet The Master is calling for true communion with Him.
The Prophet proclaimed Yahweh’s people perish for lack of knowledge, add 1700 years of watering down the truth. Moreover, where has it gotten us.. Right where we see ourselves, a diluted form without POWER The church’ or better yet the Covenant Body of Messiah is a water-walking, overcoming people with overwhelming testimonies so I ask? what’s up. Why have we become lukewarm? The Laodocian group may have more heat than this Remember, lukewarm gets spewen out.. Scribal writings were handed down letter for letter for thousands of years, these ancient biblical stories of healing, deliverance, and powerful reflections of Adonai’ have become cute bible stories, a self-healing manual perhaps… No friends this is the manual of Manifestation; His words are life and life more abundantly.
These words have the ability proclaimed, to raise the dead and heal the sick. We need to visibly see into open heaven and apprehend the essential knowledge for each situation and bring forth the Masters glory. We need the revelation of Jacob and see the house of Adonai and ministering angels of Yaweh ascending and descending.
These same serving the requests of Yahweh’s Children, to heal, to set free, and to teach in righteousness. Paul stated “For the kingdom of Adonai’ is not meat and drink; (The natural) but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. Romans 14:17
Bringing this closer to the light, Messiah stated the Kingdom of EL-Elyon resides in you, in Power, and for His glory. Several statements of Messiah allude to this truth … “if, you have seen me, you have seen My Father.” “I, and my father are one” “I, and my father will make our abode in you”….
Hmmm, I wonder what the real image of God is within us. Could it be the image of Adonai received at the well, washed cleansed and outfitted with new garments Zechariah 3V1-4
If the same power that raised Messiah from the dead resides in you, what are we waiting for You now know everything you require is in the well of His love, Only believe and apprehend the truth The great commission related in scripture is to go and heal this sick, leprous and defiled generation
Mark 16:16-19
If you are going to turn the world upside down for the Masters glory, then this is for you.
Simply because creation authority is given unto the consecrated servants through Yahshua, the first born from the dead--- However, first the washing… As one friend said to me, “The Jesus within has the answers, we all need to be out working in the fields, we don’t need fleshly prophesies to guide us, they won’t come to pass, just believe, and walk in that”. That one small truth will save you big time on all those how-to’ seminars. Yochanan put it very well.
“You have need of no man teach you… 1st John 2:27 However, If guidance is required, then true Apostolic-kingdom teaching is what you need, filled with love, chastising and cleansing. This my friends, comes right from Ruach HaKodosh. As for me, the Masters' will is that I go down into the depths of the well, retrieve truth, lead captivity captive, and as truths are revealed, bring them to the surface thereby restoring kingdom gifts to men. Have you noticed people who live under Kingdom authority seem to have a different grasp on the word? One reason, their perception is different from those who live in a democratic society and trust in its benefits.
Hours and hours in adoration, spending time with the Master, seeking His truth until it is revealed in great manifestation, is one difference. Second to that, would be yielding to the washing from who you are to who you will become, in order to represent Adonai’. I love, that His truth, and presence begins to come in like a flood and overwhelm me at times. I find those are times of refreshing and learning, times when I find myself small in the greatness of His love, yet more equipped to minister to others who are thirsty.
Only after I am refreshed and filled with living water, obtained deep in the well, can I fill a parched heart. So many ministries today tell us how to find His love with “don’t shout me down when I am preaching real good” sermons. So much pride, so little Godliness…little sustaining guidance. We are fighting against a spiritual enemy and fleshly antics will not bring us forth victorious in Messiah. Friends, we need to loose His love through us in purity of heart, not by pride or personal exaltation. “Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart: So shalt thou find favor and good understanding in the sight of God and man” (Proverbs 3:4)
Certainly perversion always off centers you from the truth, just a slight twist and over a thousand years of scribal error produces a large cavern of difference.
The fluff profits you nothing. We use the term Christian lightly in comparison to our scriptural knowledge and actions, yet throughout the scrolls we find a theme I liken to Community “People helping people.
The master teacher likened it to the second commandment of the new Brit, “Love your neighbor”. Interesting concept, community’ Like in the first church of the way, where Phillip an Evangelist, Nicholas and six other servants were overseeing the distribution of goods to those in need, Widows, orphans and children.
Today those “move the hand of God” tithes build big buildings and feed the sheep little ref Jn 21vs15-17. We are the greatest force for God on earth, when we are united and operating in dominion authority, and that friends is what it is all about yielding to Him’ for His glory.
It would seem, that from the moment the Ruach HaKodosh [Holy Spirit] regenerates us at our recognition of Yahshua as the only savior’ the only way. We then find ourselves being cleansed, washed, and purified for service to the Master’.
The writer is not suggesting any form of works trip, for our initial heart cry from the depth of our being, help me oh God’ was enough for your name to be before the Master. I am only showing the journey to greater service as a priest before the Master. Consider this friends, we truly have no part in Him until we are consecrated unto Him.
We desire as servants “Ruach V’Emet” Meaning Spirit and Truth! to permeate This word consecration in fullness denotes ownership, Paul called himself a bond slave to Yahshua, and we know He does, as He wills, with His own. However, first the washing by the water of the word.
The Ruach/Spirit continues to sanctify us as we learn to yield and trust. Yes, as the potter to the clay. Adonai is molding and shaping us to divine perfection, forming us into a true trumpet a true sound of the Lord. He wants a special sound to come through you. As one servant washes another servant, as the greater love lays down His life for another, as iron sharpens another iron of the Lord. All of these work together to bring forth a special sound for His glory.
Creation love coupled with grace is part of the ‘Kingdom’ package. Leading you into regeneration and renewal of the mind, wrong thinking and idolatrous issues are dealt with bringing us willingly into kingdom submission. Submitted to obedience, the father develops His image into you, the consecrated servant. This in turn brings forth Holiness in our character. Father creator develops His image into you and through you the consecrated servant.
Holiness develops and deepens as the believer grows in the grace, knowledge and understanding of our Master. Paul referenced this in Romans 6. “I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity (Abomination*) of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so (forgetting those things behind*) now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness”. *Writer Paul is speaking in terms of Priestly holiness, a set apart servant from the holy and profane, clean and unclean.
We see this seperation in the priesthoods Abiathar and The line of Zadock the Priest before david and Yaweh.
Both continue today one stays right one follows the popular opinion.
This seperation, this system of holiness was introduced at Sinai, a distinct part of Torah and the priesthood referencing the Mishnah, listing concentric circles of holiness eg, Holy of Holies, sanctuary, vestibule, court of priests, court of Israelites, court of women, court of gentiles, and eventually the temple mount, Jerusalem walls, all the walled cities of Israel, and the borders of the land.
Distinctions are made as to who and what are permitted in each area. Paul being a Priest relates his termenology with the aspect of high service unto the Master and relates that in written form so that hopefully gentile followers will understand and follow these preset guidelines, leading to consecrated priestly service.
If you require more holiness, more of what the Master has for you, study the basics outlined for the levitical Priesthood at Sinai, this will give you an idea of what Adonai’ requires from His servants. This list includes a consecrated heart and above all unmoving dedication.
There are no established’ do it our way hoops to righteousness that some denominations throw at you.
It is written, “Unless the Master build the house they that build it build it in vain”. Psalms 127:1
You must be molded and shaped by the master for that important message of eternal life, redemption and healing to go forth. Feel inadequate? Your not alone, however the well is full of righteousness, just immerse yourself, and allow the Spirit to beget spirit.
This immersion is a needed process of bringing a teachable “good soil” servant to perfection. This is an ongoing spiritual journey lasting a lifetime. Only grace and continued growth in Messiah, is the way to Holiness. No shortcuts, no secret handshakes, no temple marriages get you a better advantage. If anything, the Messiah pointed to the oneness He had with His creation Father, the abiding factor leading to a consecrated life. John 15:7
I would take that to mean you need to touch Him in oneness, in completeness, immersed into the one truth found only in the deep well of Adonai’. We generically call Him God wherein we do well, however our creator is so much more. The basic requirement to receive salvation is to accept YAHshua’ as your Lord and Savior in trust, adoration and learning for the rest of your life “For it is by grace( favor) you have been saved, through faith(Belief)--and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God- V-9 not by works, so that no one can boast”. Ephesians 2:8
These three tenants are ones that remain forever.
1. ELELyon the Master, the Son the gateway, the Holy Spirit the teacher, one God and Creator of all.
2. Yahshua/Jesus, the only begotten son of Adonai’, the Messiah prophesied of in the old testament, born through a virgin by the Holy Spirit, shedding blood, bringing forth the New covenant.
3. Salvation is in Yahshua HaMashiach alone’ who lived a sinless life and died as a perfect sacrificial lamb for the sins of the nations, stating it is finished! Then after 3 days likened to Jonah, Yahshua physically rose from the dead. This in itself caused the Priest Paul to desire this one great revelation be exposed.
All I want to know he exclaimed.
These three tenants grouped together remain the standard. Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, the power of Adonai’ revealed, it is dead, lifeless, works of the flesh. James 2:17
However, Yaweh is the real MC, the Master Creator of the entire universe, perhaps even beyond our wildest imaginings. The Master takes us to great depths, and for that reason I find that a true servant is deeply drawn into the ways and service of Adonai regardless of the depths, we are taken, as with Ezekiel, Ezekiel 47vs3-5 we soon are immersed over our heads in awesome revealing love.
The light compels us, come and be filled to overflowing. Finally, filled to overflowing in right understanding we like Paul cry out that we must present the New Covenant, we must preach the kingdom of Adonai has come. Just as any true servant is compelled to reach the Lost.
The writing’s of Paul still impact lives today, why? they are Ruach breathed life and that more abundantly. From the cross of Yahshua, when we repented of our sin and believed in Him as our Savior, the redeemer began the journey of our restoration toward truth. All the while developing in us a voice of one as a witness to His’ greatness. If anything the Messiah Yahshua pointed to the Oneness’ He had with His creation Father. Holiness is an attribute of God, and purity is always part of the presence of Yahshua. I remember the very moment He spoke into my life clearly’ I might add…. “Prepare for the Journey”… the journey of washing had begun.
I cannot help think we are all on similar journeys. However He’ kept nudging me toward a heart cry for a sinless life. However as of this writing I am still a work in progress.
Perhaps we all, are a little like Abram bringing forth a promise, Or like Young David after Adonis’ own heart, Like Apostle John laying his head upon the heart of Messiah Yahshua, hearing the heartbeat of our Master.
As had many other servants written through out scripture. So, with that, let us continue this journey. In Mal.3:1-3., we see our redeemer Moshiach Y'shua, likened to a refiner of silver, these refiners used to sit over a pot of molten silver and draw the scum off until their faces were clearly mirrored in the silver.
A true Image. Our Adon desires to clean us up until we completely reflect “His beauty, and His un-fathomable love, to others. Malachi 3:1-3{ Amp} Vs1 BEHOLD, I send My messenger, and he shall prepare the way before Me. And the Lord [the Messiah], Whom you seek, will suddenly come to His temple; the Messenger or Angel of the covenant, Whom you desire, behold, He shall come, says the Lord of hosts. 2 But who can endure the day of His coming? And who can stand when He appears? For He is like a refiner's fire and like fullers' soap; 3 He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver, and He will purify the priests, the sons of Levi, and refine them like gold and silver, that they may offer to the Lord offerings in righteousness.
If we do not let Yahshua refine and beautify us now with His sacred fire, then the fire will try, and, burn up the dead works of men at the judgment seat of the Lamb.
1stCor.3:12-17. “Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. 14 If any man's work abides which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. 15 If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire. 16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? 17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of Yaweh is holy, which temple ye are.
Let us continue in another passage;
2nd Cor.5:8-11. 8”[Yes] we have confident and hopeful courage and are pleased rather to be away from home out of the body and be at home with the Lord. 9 Therefore, whether we are at home [on earth away from Him] or away from home [and with Him], we are constantly ambitious and strive earnestly to be pleasing to Him. 10 For we must all appear and be revealed as we are before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive [his pay] according to what he has done in the body, whether good or evil [considering what his purpose and motive have been, and what he has achieved, been busy with, and given himself and his attention to accomplishing]. 11 Therefore, being conscious of fearing the Lord with respect and reverence, we seek to win people over [to persuade them]. But what sort of persons we are is plainly recognized and thoroughly understood by God, and I hope that it is plainly recognized and thoroughly understood also by your consciences (your inborn discernment). Amplified .
I would say in conclusion, follow your heart.
Failure to yield our lives to the purifying presence of Messiah and the Ruach HaKodosh, can result in a painful chastening from our loving heavenly Father.
The aim of Father” is to make us partakers of His holiness, and to save us from being ashamed at Moshiach Y'shua’s soon return. Heb.12:10. “And in accordance with this will [of God], we have been made holy (consecrated and sanctified) through the offering made once for all of the body of Jesus the Christ (the Anointed One).
And Paul continued with this theme to another Region, the church at Corinth.
1st Cor.11v27-34 “So then whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in a way that is unworthy [of Him] will be guilty of [profaning and sinning against] the body and blood of the Lord. 28 Let a man [thoroughly] examine himself, and [only when he has done so] should he eat of the bread and drink of the cup. 29 For anyone who eats and drinks without discriminating and recognizing with due appreciation that [it is Christ's] body eats and drinks a sentence (a verdict of judgment) upon himself. 30 That [careless and unworthy participation] is the reason many of you are weak and sickly, and quite enough of you have fallen into the sleep of death. (Prematurely) 31 For if, we searchingly examined ourselves [detecting our shortcomings and recognizing our own condition], we should not be judged and penalty decreed [by the divine judgment]. 32 But when we [fall short and] are judged by the Lord, we are disciplined and chastened, so that we may not [finally] be condemned [to eternal punishment along] with the world. 33 So then, my brothers, when you gather together to eat [the Lord's Supper], wait for one another. 34 If anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, lest you come together to bring judgment [on yourselves].
About the other matters, I will give you directions [personally] when I come.”
1st John.2:28 “And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, (boldness, assurance) and not be ashamed before Yahshua” at His coming”.
Under the New Covenant, there is a definite emphasis upon purity of life, and a heart cleansed by the fire of God. A servant with complete devotion to Adonai’. The great prophet John, who came baptizing unto repentance with water, spoke that the refining fire was coming and pointed to Yahshua as the One who would baptize into Ruach and Fire.
Let us look at a few more scriptures. Lk.3v8,16,17. Jn.1v33. Acts.2v3,4,38,39. 2Cor.3v18. 1Pet.1v13-18. Moshiach Y'shua is our absolute example, we see Him at Jordan "full of grace and truth”, completely consecrated to His Father, perfectly loving and pure. He not only received the Father's "well done”, but an immeasurable fullness of Ruach [Spirit] as well.
When we compare Yahshua’s matchless, sinless, love and dedication, with our own great need, we can only feel unworthy, pitiful and beggarly, and quite undeserving of receiving any blessing from Him.
Perhaps that is why headstrong Peter himself recognized this trait and bowed his knee. Perhaps we need a new and refreshed reverence unto the Lord. Nevertheless, what is this that I hear from His lips? He tells me that He so loved me, that He was sheared and slain for me, and that my feeling of great need is a vital condition for receiving His blessing.
The scarlet thread continues to weave into us the need for wholeness in Yahshua and declares that because I recognize my complete spiritual poverty without Him, incompleteness if you would, I can claim heaven's riches with Him, as a joint heir and that only because “I hunger and thirst after righteousness, shall I be filled. Mt.5:3,6.
The Ruach once spoke to me regarding this complete spiritual poverty without Him..... stating;
“Either trust me completely, or continue in this endless cycle, for you cannot serve two masters”.
Shalom,... To Be Continued...JLH,.
