TAKING THE LAND
A black churning cloud spread out from the top of the mountain. Lightening flashed through its bowels sending forth a voice so loud the mountain trembled. Below in the valley it was so dark that it seemed like night. Upward turned faces scanned the mountainside where it was visible. The congregation waited anxiously for the Man of Yah to appear with the words of the almighty Yah. A gasp, a pointed finger and there he came descending out of the storm with face aglow. Under his arm the two new tablets of stone, and in his eyes the fire of Yah. They had made for themselves an idol and were caught making sacrifice to it. The new stones were testimony that Yah had forgiven their idolatry. The whole multitude that filled the valley was so quiet you scarcely knew they were there. Babies did not cry, no child whimpered, and not one animal in the whole place opened its mouth. The wind twisted the ends of the women’s hair and tugged at the men’s beards.
In the wilderness of religion, an uninhabited place barren of spirituality, stands a religious people looking steadfast into the angry heavens. They too stand guilty of breaking the covenant by entering into worship in a manmade religion. There is another Man of Yah, one new man, on the scene that has ascended into the higher things of Yah and on the tablets of the heart Father has written His Law of Love. Like the Holy Man of old, they are coming forth in the glory of being with Yah, being changed into the image of the Son of Yah. Man’s spirit searches the mountain of time for the sons to appear. Even creation waits in anticipation to be free from death and decay at the manifestation of Yah’s sons.
Israel had a leader and now had the law of Yah. The law they thought was a blessing would prove to be their condemnation. Yah knew their hearts were not turned toward Him and that they still held Egypt’s idolatrous ways in their hearts. So, He ordained a form of worship with ordinances to cover the sin of their hearts and for breaking the commandments. He also gave them a code of conduct for every day life and holy days set aside to worship Him. He even gave them the Tabernacle and the Ark of the Covenant where He communed with Moses. Nothing more was needed except for them to follow Him and so they did. “And the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night.”
Yah has given us a spiritual code for life and it will be a blessing and not a curse. “Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other.” A new spiritual leader is about to appear, a new species of man, made up of many sons. Yah has set-aside for us the rest of His eternal Holy Sabbath. “There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of Yah. For he that is entered into His rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as Yah did from His. Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.”
The Church was religious and it stood in unbelief, so once again religious ordinances were set up, elders were placed and pastors and teachers were elected. It was not Yah’s idea, he had told them what to do. Yah is no longer in charge in the congregations for men are their leaders. The deadly wound to religious order that was destroyed by the work of the cross was healed and now it is not only alive, but also thriving. We find that it is just as it was before the appearing of YahShua. It is time for Yah to manifest his other sons.
Israel, The Inner Man
In this Tabernacle of clay, in the Most Holy Place of our spirit where the Ark of His Presence abides we commune with Him. Nothing more is needed except that we follow Him, and follow Him we shall. “Then said YahShua unto His disciples, If any man will come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.” He goes before us and makes straight the path and lights our pathway. Sometimes we can’t see very far ahead, but we press on toward the mark of the high call of Yah.
There is a cross life we must embrace and carry with us daily. Notice that YahShua did not say to take up His cross. He said the cross is yours. It is not enough to accept the redemption of His cross only if you want the full inheritance. You must take up your cross daily and die to self and be conformed unto His image. This will not happen overnight, at the last trump, as we have been taught. This is a life’s walk of self-denial, doing what Yah wants and not what we want. We must follow Him in symbolic death, the death of self to obtain the fullness of His life.
The Provoking
Yah had successfully brought Israel out of Egypt’s bondage, but Egypt was still in them. “How long shall I bear with this evil congregation, which murmur against Me? I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against Me. Say unto them, As truly as I live, saith the
Lord, as ye have spoken in Mine ears, so will I do to you: Your carcases shall fall in this wilderness; and all that were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward which have murmured against me. Doubtless ye shall not come into the land, concerning which I sware to make you dwell therein, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.” The idolatrous ways of Egypt had shown through in spite of the miracles they had seen. At the hands of the Man of Yah, their Heavenly Father gave them water in the desert and manna to eat, but they were not satisfied with what Yah had for them.
The Church, believers, were brought out of sin’s bondage by the death of YahShua upon the cross, but they had the sin ways in them. Grace covers their sin, but the sin nature still struggled in their breast because they were not turned toward Yah in their hearts. “Submit yourselves therefore to Yah. Resist the Devil, and he will flee from you. Draw nigh to Yah, and He will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.” Though He had made a sin offering with the blood of His flesh life, they were not grateful for what Yah had done for them. “This people draweth nigh unto Me with their mouth, and honoureth Me with their lips; but their heart is far from Me. But in vain they do worship Me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.”
The Jordan
Soon Israel arrived at the muddy banks of the Jordan River. Beyond its shores lay the Promise Land. It was theirs for the taking. Yah had brought them to this place and said for them to go over and possess the Land. They chose twelve men, one from each tribe of Israel and sent them in to spy out the land. This was not Yah’s plan, this was their plan, for Yah had already spoken. When the spies returned they brought fruit from the land and it was large and bountiful.
However, ten of the spies told of horrible giants in the land so large that they, themselves, seemed like grasshoppers in their own eyes. But two remembered the words of the Lord, and encouraged the people to believe Yah and go over. The people as a congregation gave heed to the ten with the negative report and turned their faces away refusing to go over. Yah answered their unbelief with a great plague. They complained unto the Man of Yah and he went into the Tent of Meeting and approached the Ark of His Presence inquiring of the Lord. And Yah answered and said, “Even those men that did bring up the evil report upon the land, they died by the plague before the Lord. But Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, which were of the men that went to search the land, lived still.”
Notice from here on in Israel’s wanderings nothing further is said about the cloud and the pillar of fire. The only presence of the Lord found was in the Most Holy Place of the Tabernacle and only the Man of Yah saw it. The Lord ceased leading the people and Moses became their leader.
It was time for the Church to possess their possessions. The church began their march toward the blessing, the Promise Land, which belongs to believers. “According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and Yahliness, through the knowledge of Him that hath called us to glory and virtue.” Down to the banks of the Jordan they came with the Lord leading them. Jordan is a great gulf that stands between religion and spirituality, between outward ordinances and inward spiritual life. Yah had brought them to the place that belongs to every believer and it was theirs for the taking. The apostles were ready to believe Yah and cross over into the realm of the eternity. The church is the reality of what literal Israel was in type and just as their forerunner, the church has turned away from the Jordan and wondered in the wilderness of religion and their spirituality has died there.”
Yah has raised up another generation and Yah gives this warning. “But as truly as I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the Lord. Because all those men which have seen my glory, and my miracles, which I did in Egypt, their bondage, and in the wilderness, of religion, and have tempted me now these ten times, and have not hearkened to my voice. Surely they shall not see the land which I sware unto their fathers, neither shall any of them that provoked me see it."
The evil witnesses against Yah’s Word and His plan are seen in the world today, the fundamentalist, including Catholics, and the Pentecostal, including the nondenominational half-tribe of Pentecost. These give a negative report to the congregations and discourage them from taking their inheritance beyond the Jordan. But, there are two that witness for the Word of Yah that it is time to cross the Jordan of humankind and begin to live in the spiritual Kingdom of Yah. These two witnesses are Joshua, YahShua, the son of none, no man, and Caleb, the sons of Yah. The message is going forth today, “And Caleb, …said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it.”
Hear the words of the two witnesses, “And Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, which were of them that searched the land, rent their clothes. And they spake unto all the company of the children of Israel, saying, The land, which we passed through to search it, is an exceeding good land. If the Lord delight in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it us; a land which floweth with milk and honey. Only rebel not ye against the Lord, neither fear ye the people of the land; for they are bread for us: their defence is departed from them, and the Lord is with us: fear them not.”
The apostles went into the realm Yah had for the church to dwell in and brought out to the people the fruit of that place in Him. The power that came at Pentecost was the firstfruits or foretaste of what lies beyond the spiritual Jordan for the people of Yah. Though the miracles were great the church as a whole could not conceive of crossing the Jordan, it was just too much for them. The fruit of the Spirit grew there and it was bountiful, the Spirit without measure, but like Israel of old they turned back. The people cried out to Yah and the spiritual man withdrew himself and began to seek the Lord their Yah on their own, in the Tent of Meeting, outside the camp. And the voice of the Spirit said, “Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.”
The Bible says literal Israel turned their backs and tempted Yah for forty years in the wilderness until all of the old unbelieving generation died. Then once again He brought them to the brink of the Jordan to take possession of their inheritance. It was time for the new generation to go over and dwell in the land. But, the children of Gad and the children of Reuben along with the half-tribe of Manasseh refused to go over and took their possessions on the east side of the river. “Wherefore, said they, if we have found grace in thy sight, let this land be given unto thy servants for a possession, and bring us not over Jordan.”
Believers once again are finding themselves at the brink of the Jordan, for it is time for Yah’s people to enter the spiritual land that the old religious order refused to enter. Two is the number of witness. “One witness shall not rise up against a man for any iniquity, or for any sin, in any sin that he sinneth: at the mouth of two witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses, shall the matter be established.”
Reuben means, “to squat or lie out flat”. Rueben speaks to us of the fundamentalists, who became “squatters” and have sit down on the salvation message and refused to go any further, no Promise Land for them. Then comes the tribe of Gad, which means, “to crowd upon”. These “crowded” in upon the fundamentalist to capture the hearts of a good many of their people. However, they were too busy competing and crowding each other to cross the Jordan. And then there is the half-tribe of Manasseh or the nondenominationals. Manasseh means, “to remit, remove: --forget, deprive, exact.” These have “removed” from the mainstream Pentecostals to in effect become a denomination of their own, but don’t tell them that they wouldn’t believe it. They choose to “forget” their Pentecostal roots and seek “to remit” on their own making merchandise of the things of Yah, “exacting” a price for everything. All have become big business. “The two tribes and the half tribe have received their inheritance on this side Jordan near Jericho eastward, toward the sunrising.”
Why would anyone not want the full benefit of what Messiyah’s death bought for us on the cross? Yet, we see the fundamentalist rejecting Pentecost and the tribe and half-tribe of Pentecost thumbing their noses at the notion that there is more for the church. The fundamentalists seem content with the thirty-fold blessing and the Pentecostals can see nothing beyond the gifts of the Spirit and have settled for the sixty-fold realm. However, beyond Jordan there awaits the hundred-fold realm, the third feast of Israel for the church. In the Plan of Yah believers have had Passover and Pentecost and the Feast of Tabernacles is now underway.
I want to say here, that I do not speak of other cults because these are the only ones who hold the teaching of Messiyah. What you find in both of these witness groups is the spirit of the Pharisee. These denominations are made up of modern day Pharisees and their scribes write book after book for gain. They are strict abides of their doctrinal teaching and piously defend them at any cost. They strain at gnats and swallow camels. They refuse to go in and hinder those who would go in from doing so. YahShua plainly said, “But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.”
The terms Ruben, Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh placed before the man of Yah was that they would send all of their fighting men over the Jordan with the rest and fight until the land was taken. They declared. “We will not return unto our houses, until the children of Israel have inherited every man his inheritance. For we will not inherit with them on yonder side Jordan, or forward; because our inheritance is fallen to us on this side Jordan eastward.”
The church age has chosen the east side of the Jorden for their inheritance. I don’t understand their logic, for on the east of the Jordan the land was commanding and the ground stubborn while beyond the Jordan was the land flowing with milk and honey. It was the blessing Yah had brought them there to inherit. So many, today, are refusing to take their possessions in the realm of the spirit even though they join in the battle against evil and sin in the land. These people will be blessed in the manifestation of the sons of Yah and will in the Kingdom Age help to destroy the enemy and bring peace to the land, at least outwardly. The people who leave Fundamentalists and Pentecostals will go to battle against the forces of evil in the land along with the sons of Yah until the time comes to receive the inheritance when finally Satan is bound.
They have settled on the natural temporal side of the Jordan where the ground of complacency is hard, where no spiritual seed can grow and their religious acts remain. They choose the temporal blessings over spiritual things, just as Esau did. This is not the inheritance Yah has in mind for His people. Our inheritance is life in the spiritual realm beyond the physical, basking in Yah’s presence. It is ours for the taking. It flows with the sincere milk of the Word and revelation knowledge that is sweet as honey to the spirit man.
The Church as we know it has been wondering in the wilderness of religion for almost two thousand years or until all the old church generation is dead. The flood was upon the earth forty days and forty nights. The Israelites wondered through the desert, wilderness, forty years until all the old rebellious generation died off. Forty is the number that signifies death. Joshua and the Calebs are in the wilderness along with rebellious Israel, but they had a different spirit.
As the people of Yah, represented by Israel, are dying in the wilderness of dead religion, the Calebs were dying too, but their death is different because they have a different spirit. The old man of earth is dying, dying to self and to religious ways. They are being led by the Spirit, instead of Moses, a man, and are eating sacred manna, revealed Knowledge, while the rest of Israel cries out for flesh. The Caleb people's desert is the refining fire and they will come forth as pure gold, vessels fit for the Lord’s use. If you will not rebel and will submit yourself unto the work of the Spirit you can be part of that number, but you must come into the wilderness of refining. You must be lead by the Spirit and not a ministry and you must be satisfied with the manna from above and not seek understanding through the flesh. Yah has a people out here right now doing their forties in the wilderness, outside the walled cities of denominations. We are in a fast, fasting from man’s religious ways and learning Yah’s. Learning to be spirit beings, they will soon be manifested to the world.
Joshua means, “yehovah - saved” and represents YahShua. Caleb means “to yelp” or cry against, to bark a warning(Strong’s Hebrew Dictionary) and he represents the sons of Yah. Together they will have the courage to press into the deeper things of Yah. Israel had a rebellious religious spirit, but Caleb had a different spirit. They will take the land by force, for the victory is theirs. Together they will lead the way into the realm of spiritual eternal life and immortality, the Promise Land.
Beyond the Jordan
I have a news flash for you. If you are looking for the manifestation of the sons of Yah to be the end of the matter, think again. It is just the beginning. As I said before they will bring the restoration of all things. Their message in part will be, “Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Holy One. And he shall send YahShua Messiyah, which before was preached unto you: Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which Yah hath spoken by the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began.” Though the Kingdom Age will be upon us, there will be much work to do. The religious spirit will not die easily. There are enemies in the land and battles to be won.
The land lay before the children of Israel and their courage soared with the victory at the hands of the Yah when the walls of Jericho came tumbling down. They were big, they were bad, they were victorious. And, then there was little Ai. It was there at that small insignificant place that they tasted their first defeat. What happened? As long as they sought Yah and went out only at His command they won seemingly unbeatable battles, but once they went out in their own arrogance, even a small army defeated them. Though they gained most of the land, they disobeyed the command of Yah and did not completely destroy all the enemies in the land. They grew weary with the battle and began to make treaties. This was literal Israel’s defeat.
We too will see the walls of denominations come crashing down by the mighty hand of Elohim and many will be our victories. However, those who are not wise and of the Elect will find defeat when they try to once again do it on their own power, without Yah. Old ways are hard to lay down. It is not enough to take the land, they must destroy the evil in it by submitting to the cross life and the refining fire of the Spirit. If we leave the enemy in the land, we are in effect not taking the land at all. The land lies within us and the Jordan is the dividing line between carnal and spiritual, between our will and Yah's.
Listen, you know there have been six millenniums since the fall of mankind, two thousand in the days of innocence before the Law, two thousand from the going forth of the law to the cutting off of the Messiyah (See Daniel’s Vision) and two more during the Church Age. Sometime in the early part of the seventh day or millennium Yah will manifest His sons and the Kingdom Age will begin. Now the Bible states that for six days shall you work and on the seventh day you shall rest from your labor, it is Holy Sabbath unto Elohim, the Lord’s day. Counting one day as a thousand years we see that we are on the brink of the Kingdom Age when man rests from the labor of sin and enters the great and terrible day of the Lord. Great to those who love His appearing, but pure terror for those whose heart are not purified from its sin nature.
In the Law handed down by Moses when Yah called for a Holy Sabbath, the sixth day was the Day of Preparation. It was at that time men would afflict their souls(psyche) and purify their hearts for the holy day to come. This pattern is followed throughout Yah’s dealing with mankind. The Bible simply says, “Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the Sabbath of rest, a holy convocation; ye shall do no work therein: it is the Sabbath of the Lord in all your dwellings.” We are at the end of the sixth day now and the Sabbath is dawning.
“And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.”
Did you hear it? Not all of the populous in the Kingdom Age will give their entire heart and being unto Yah even though every knee shall bow and every tongue will confess that YahShua is King to the glory of Yah. Confession is not possession. Like the pattern Israel, many will compromise with the enemy and suffer defeat. However, to maintain life in the Kingdom Age the man of sin will be bound, that old enemy, the devil, deep within the recesses of the heart. He will be held there with the strong chains of iron will and the seal of Yah’s own Word. None will know he is there for time will deceive their own hearts. He will be forgotten there in his prison in the depths of their being. They have submitted to the power of Yah tremendous influence in the Kingdom of Yah and have never had it so good, basking in the love that covers them. It seems that this is truly the Garden of Eden. A thousand years of the powerful influence of Yah’s government with His presence in the earth and all is well, or so it seems.
The Word says the children of Israel committed sin by taking the accursed things out of Jericho. Well, Joshua, the man of Yah, went before Yah and asked what happened. Why are they defeated? Yah replied, “Israel has sinned; they have violated my covenant, which I commanded them to keep. They have taken some of the devoted things; they have stolen, they have lied, they have put them with their own possessions.”
In the indictment of Yah against Israel you can see what He considers the priority level of their sins. First, they broke covenant with Him. Then they committed idolatry and had stolen, then they lied and took possessions for their own.
When the River is breached by the church, believers go in to take the land by the power of Yah word of command, but many will fall victim to the enticing things found there. Only the Elect who have become spirit beings will be faithful because they abhor the things of religion. Religion will rise again for man will have not yet learned that they cannot control the power of Yah. You can take nothing for yourself out of this land, no glory, no ministry, and there will be no little religious kingdoms to be made there.
Another Covenant
Yah is going to make another covenant with His elect and it is beyond the Covenant in His Blood. This may sound sacrilegious but think about it. If YahShua's blood has done it's work in our life and we have allowed the cross life of the Holy Spirit to purge all of the sin nature out of us, conforming us into the image of HIS dear son, then there will be no more need for the blood. This is a covenant with the "called out one". It is a calling into sonship and maturity.
This covenant is the Covenant of Sonship, overcoming by the blood of the Lamb of Yah and the word of testimony. You realize of course in the spirit there are really no words to speak. Our life speaks louder than any words. Our conversation is our way of living. The blood of the Lamb has already finished its work at the cross, but our testimony must line up with the Spirit of sonship whereby we cry, “Abba Father”. This is a sonship covenant. It places you in the family as a fully mature heir.
"Covenant" is an Old Testament word for contract or a legal binding agreement. Remember that Yah made a second Covenant with Aberham, so it is not unusualy for Yah to make another Covenant while the first is still in effect. A covenant is between two people and both have something to offer. On our part it is a life lived in spirituality, sonship on our part, and on Yah's part it is fatherhood, the pouring forth of life and immortality with many spiritual blessing. When the church, believers, cross over into the Kingdom Age led by the manifested sons of Yah many will become corrupt once again. Even with the sons of Yah having undergone a metamorphosis change and walk among them in immortal bodies as YahShua did after His resurrection some will harden their hearts and choose not to obey Yah.
Daniel saw the Kingdom of Yah and said, “It was cut out without hands”. This is one move of Yah that man will not lay his hands, ministry, to. He goes on to describe it as, “A great mountain, and it filled the whole earth”. With the new age comes a new covenant. The covenant with the sons of Yah is; “And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And He said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. And He said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his Elohim, and he shall be My son.”
By the sons, the very elect, having overcome this carnal realm and entered into immortality, the door to this other covenant will be established for all of Yah’s people. Just as YahShua's death opened the covenant in His blood to Yah’s people in His day and eternal life was offered, the manifestation of the sons of Yah will pass on to the world the experimental walk in immortality and life paid for by YahShua on the cross and demenstrated to us in his resurrection. (See the article "Resurrection")
What was begun at the cross will find fulfillment in the Kingdom Age. “But we see YahShua, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that He by the grace of Yah should taste death for every man. For it became Him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings. For both He that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause He is not ashamed to call them brethren.” When the sons of Yah, the elect, put on immortality and began to walk this earth with mortal everlasting man, then will be fulfilled the scripture, “For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of Yah, as the waters cover the sea.” This will happen because His kingdom has come and His will is done upon earth as it is in heaven. This Covenant, as any other, can be broken if one or the other of the parties defraud or break the agreement. We know that Yah will keep his end, but some of Yah's "called out ones" will not come to maturity and will remain in the servent realm, thus breaking the "Covenant of Sonship". The Elect are sealed and will keep the Covenant.
The Broken Covenant
Sadly though, many who walk as everlasting man will break the covenant by harboring carnal things and allowing the nature of sin to remain hidden deeply within the recesses of their heart. At this the covenant is annulled and the oath is no longer valid. “And the uncircumcised man child whose flesh of his foreskin is not circumcised, that soul shall be cut off from his people; he hath broken my covenant.” Disobedience breaks the covenant. We must appropriate the full blessing of what YahShua's death on the cross did for us. We can not let one drop of that precious blood be of none effect. Why not take the full blessing? “Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil; Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow. Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land: But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.” Don’t break the Covenant of Sonship in the Kingdom Age or you will lose fellowship with Yah just as you lost your full inheritance.
Idolatry
Harboring idols in the heart is the second reason Yah gives that makes Yah’s people flee before their enemies. it will be so also in the Kingdom Age. There are, I would say, nearly as many idols in the world as there are people. Nearly everyone has their patron and pays homage to it whither it be money, prestige, possession or just something greatly desired. Yah and Yah alone is the author and finisher of our faith. We can not hold any other gods before Him, whether it be a ministry, church, Bible or possessions. “Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?
Stolen
Obtaining is one of man’s compelling weaknesses. He strives to get, get, get and goes to any length doing anything allowable, and sometime not allowable, to obtain. We can not conquer if we fall prey to gain. We must overcome it. The laws have changed on this side of the Jordan. Those who seek to get will find they are bankrupt and those who seek to give will walk in abundance. These are natural things and laws. However, when it comes to spiritual things that is tramping in Yah’s domain. We must war with the visible church that steals the anointing, or what looks like it to the people of Yah anyway, and use it for their own purpose. The praise that belongs only to Yah is squandered on the ministers, ministries and the church denominations. The laws of Yah are; giving and preferring others above your own desires. The most abhorrent sin of stealing is taking the Lord’s money and using it to build memorials to these denominations called churches while the widows go without and orphans hunger. No greater theft has occurred in all of mankind than to steal the hearts of Yah’s people away from Him calling upon His name to do so. Then to add to their sin they are blatantly taking the spiritual children’s bread out of their mouths and cause the children to pass through the fire. Yah is watching, He knows the thief. This must fall in the dust of our going as we take the land.
The Lie
Some will try to steal what little spiritual blessing that is being held out to Yah’s people and hide what they are doing with lies and mimicing, literally mocking what Yah is doing. They might fool the people, looking like an angel of light, but those with spiritual perception can pick them out easily. Do they think Yah is blind? The greatest lie of all is when you lie to your own heart, convincing yourself that something you have conceive is of Yah and right, even when the Spirit convicts otherwise. You turn away from that conviction after taking a stand because you do not want to look bad to those around you. Self is still alive and you do not want to crucify it. If you live a deception, you become that deception. If you live a lie, you become that lie.
Taking Possessions
The drive for prominence and possession is the main cause of most evil. To have, to obtain, to possess, it is all-inclusive. Here is where the Spirit of the Harlot Religious System is most prominent. Here is where the battle will be the fiercest and only a pure heart will win this one. For her, the Religious Harlot to control, to possess, to direct, is the ultimate obsession. She puts religious fetters on Yah’s people in the name of YahShua Messiyah. Like in Egypt, she makes salves out of well meaning people by seduction and deception. She is building her kingdom with the souls of Yah’s people, but Yah will give us the victory over her. Just as the walls of Jericho fell the walls of denominations and religious cities will fall. “For her sins have reached unto heaven, and Yah hath remembered her iniquities. Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double. How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow. Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is Almighty Yah who judgeth her.”
The final Out Come
What will be the final outcome of the enemy of our soul, or being? Due to the fact that some did not allow the Holy Spirit to purify their hearts and children were born with the inherent sin nature lying dormant in them during the seventh millennium the holiness of Yah demands it be loose and allow it to come to the surface. The final purging of sin from the human race will take place at the end of the day of rest. Thus we read, “And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog, and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city.” This will be the final battle for the souls of mankind. Gog and Magog in the Strong’s Hebrew and Greek dictionary simply says, “of foreign origin.” That foreign sin nature Adam took into himself at the fall recorded in Genesis will raise its ugly head once more.
We read in Revelation. “…And fire came down from Yah out of heaven, and devoured them.” and “And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.” also “And the beast, fallen nature, was taken, and with him the false prophet, religious spirit that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark, carnal thinking, of the beast, and them that worshipped his, fallen man’s image, church, ministers and ministries. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.”
In the time of YahShua there was a literal lake of fire. YahShua called this place Gahenna. It was the place outside the city wall in the Kidron Valley where refuse and the residue of the sacrifices were burned and because of the amount of refuse from the city and the sacrifices it was perpetually burning, night and day. It was an eternal fire that was forever burning being fueled constantly. But, what was cast into it was consumed entirely. It was said that even the carcasses of the beggars and those found dead whose bodies that were not claimed by the family were cremated there as well. Their bodies did not remain forever, they were consumed. The smoke of that place had ascended up for thousands of years and the fire burned perpetually until 70 AD. It was also called the ash heap. This is what YahShua was referring to in scripture.
Spiritually speaking Yah is the consuming fire. The lake of fire is where the dead carcasses of religion are burned, where the filth of the heart is consumed. You will either be purged of the inherent sin nature and come forth as the Three Hebrew Children with no smoke or scent of it's death upon you, or you will be utterly consumed by it. The Satan, devil of our lives, will end there in that flame, done away with once for all.
The Eight Day/ Eighth Millennium
The future ahead looks bright for those who have allowed the glory of Yah to consume their lives. There is coming a new day, a new beginning for mankind and that is the beginning of the eighth millennium. Eight is the number of new beginnings, a new week and the Eternal Age.
“And Yah shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, write: for these words are true and faithful. And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his Elohim, and he shall be my son.”
“And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of Yah and of the Lamb. In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of Yah and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him: And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads. And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord Yah giveth them light: and they shall reign forever and ever.”
I am always available to answer the questions of a hungry heart. It is Yah's will that we help one another up the hill to transfiguration. However, keep in mind that it is not revelation knowledge that we should seek, but "HIM". Spiritual understand will automatically come as we become more aware of "HIM" and become more like "HIM". Many fall short of full sonship by becoming too caught up in the revelation, and not caught up "IN HIM". "HE" must have preeminence in our life even in our getting of revelation knowledge. I can not stress this enough.
