What a priveledge and a blessing to be in the Master's service. Truly our El is an awesome El! The Father's desire for this "last day" is for all of the elect of the MOST HIGH YHWH to come into perfection, to the unity of belief, and of the knowledge of the Son of Elohim, unto a PERFECT man, unto the FULNESS OF YHWHSHUA (Eph 4:11-24) My desire is for the Body of the MESSIAH to come into this unity; and therefore, this page is written to that end.
It must not be another sectarian viewpoint, full of man's traditions and ideas, but a call and a challenge for all to live YHWH's WORD daily in their lives.
"Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old times by the desire of man: but set apart men of Elohim spake as they were moved by the SET APART SPIRIT of YHWH." (2 Pet 1:20,21) My friend, the word of YHWH is not, and MUST NOT be "our interpretation" ! We must NEVER try to make the Word say what we or any religious organization want it to say. In fact, we are NEVER told anywhere in the scripture to "interpret" YHWH's set apart Word. We ARE told, however, to read the Word (1 Tim 4:13); to study it (2 Tim 2:15); to meditate on it (Psalm 1:2); hide it in our heart (Psalm 119:11); and most importantly to OBEY it! (John 15:1-10) The Word of YHWH is what is going to bring us to perfection in this end time (2 Tim 3:14-17)
The problem today is that too many want to explain YHWH's WORD according to THEIR religious traditions and ideas that have been implanted in them by those establishments. YHWHSHUA said that our traditions have made the Commandments of YHWH (ie: HIS WORD) of none effect (Matt 15:6-9)! Will we continue to hold fast to those things that we have learned of man, only honoring YHWH's Word with our lips? It is this VERY thing that has caused the schisms that are in the "church system" today. Is MESSIAH's BODY divided? YHWH FORBID!! Why can't we be obedient to simply do what the Word, which is our LIFE, says to do? DON'T JUSTIFY YOUR ACTIONS! DON'T TRY TO CONFORM IT TO YOUR IDEAS! JUST OBEY IT!!! (Read Matt 7:13-27) This is exactly what YHWH has spoken to HIS BODY. If MY WORD says it, DO IT! We must do exactly what the WORD says; no more and no less.
Why put such an emphasis on the Word, you ask? Because it is the POWER OF YHWH unto salvation to all who believe (Rom 1:16) The word "believe" in the greek is the word "pisteuo". It is used emphatically, of those who acknowledge the MESSIAH as their Savior AND devote themselves to HIM. It always infers obedience as a sign of our trust. If you aren't OBEDIENT, you don't really believe! (James 1:22-27; 2:12-26) It's just that simple my friend. IF YHWH SAYS IT, DO IT! If the Word commands us to "pray without ceasing" then PRAY! (1 Thes 5:17) If it says to love your brother, then LOVE HIM! (1 Jn 4:17-21) If we are commanded to keep YHWH's set apart SABBATH, then KEEP IT! (Ex 20:8-11)
But David, YHWH didn't mean exactly that! Then WHY did HE say it? Of course YHWH meant, and still means EXACTLY what HE says. Don't rationalize the WORD. Don't put it in your ecclesiastical box! Don't be like the pharisees who made the WORD OF YHWH of none effect because they had rather lived in the comfort of their traditions. DARE TO BE ONE OF YHWH'S CHOSEN FEW! If you love HIM, KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS! (Jn 14:15) ALL OF THEM! Otherwise, how can we say we are HIS? (1 Jn 2:4; 5:2,3) These are YHWH's WORDS, my friend, so I must speak them! YHWHSHUA has called us unto "GOOD WORKS!" (Eph 2:8-10) Notice that the GRACE OF YHWH is through OUR BELIEF (Our active obedience to HIS WORD)!
We have such a loving FATHER that HE has given us another chance to be obedient to HIM. Will we turn the grace of YHWH into laciviousness? (Jude 4) When we do not keep HIS commandments WE DENY HIM! Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? YHWH FORBID! (Rom 6:1,2) If we sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge of the TRUTH (YHWH's WORD), there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins! (Heb 10:26)
I pray that you can hear what the SPIRIT OF YHWH is saying to HIS BODY. Make your prayer that of the MESSIAH, YHWHSHUA in John 17:13-23. When we decide that we will obey YHWH regardless of what friends, family, or the apostate religious system have to say about it, we will again see the POWER OF YHWH in our lives as the early apostles of the Body witnessed. May YHWH richly bless your heart as you are obedient unto HIM!
In the NAME YHWHSHUA,
David
