==To Whom Does The Kingdom of Heaven Belong?==
1/2/05 From The Lord, Our God and Savior The Word of The Lord Spoken to Timothy For All Those Who Have Ears to Hear
 Thus says The Lord God: Let the truth be known regarding the innocent, My most precious gifts, My beloved little ones. When one of these little ones pass from your sight, grieve not, for they have returned home. Rather grieve for yourselves. For a precious gemstone has been taken; behold, a treasure which has no equal has been hidden before its time.<ref>See: [https://www.thevolumesoftruth.com/The_Truth_Absolute#:~:text=Thus%20the%20little,above%20precious%20stones. "The Truth Absolute"]</ref> For The Kingdom of Heaven belongs to all such as these.<ref>Matthew 19:14</ref> Thus these who have come forth from The Kingdom, who remain without blemish, whose lives were cut short, return to Him from whom they came. For the little ones need not sleep in death. For the penalty of sin is death,<ref>Romans 6:23, Ezekiel 18:4, Ezekiel 18:20</ref> yet they remain in their innocence... And oh how blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall surely behold My face.<ref>Matthew 5:8</ref>
Therefore, thus says The Lord to all who have harmed or killed the little ones, and to all who stand in agreement: It would be better for you if a millstone were hung around your neck, and you were drowned in the depths of the sea, than to suffer My wrath over these little ones!<ref>Matthew 18:6</ref> FOR I HAVE SEEN IT! You have mistreated and abused them, you have murdered My gifts! And in so doing have you ripped yourselves from The Kingdom of Heaven!... You are cast out! And shall remain outside the gates,<ref>Revelation 22:15</ref> unless you repent wholly and in truth, striving always to make your repentance full!<ref>See: [https://answersonlygodcangive.com/Regarding_True_Repentance "Regarding True Repentance"]</ref>
 I tell you the truth, all upon the earth who have Gained maturity have become so very poor and desolate...
For once you were wealthy, rich beyond words, For then you knew The Kingdom of Heaven as a child; Yet now you are grown, your light quickly fading, As the ways of this world pull you down to the pit...
Therefore return to Me, humble and penitent; Come to Me as a child...
For by no other means shall you pass through<ref>Matthew 18:3-4</ref>...
 Says The Lord.

The Blessed 
 
More Declarations of Blessedness 
From The Lord, Our God and Savior 
(Excerpts from The Volumes of Truth) 
 
Everything which comes from the mouth 
Of The Lord your God is a blessing for all!... 
 
A song for all those 
Who have ears to hear! 
 
A vision to all who have 
Eyes to see My splendor, 
Painted by The Word of My glory! 
 
An overflowing fountain inside those 
Whose hearts are open to Me!... 
 
Says The Lord. 
 
 
It is written: 
 
“Man shall not live by bread alone, 
But by every word that proceeds 
From the mouth of God.”[http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+4%3A4&version=NKJV]
 

==Blessed Are Those Who Seek Me==
 
Blessed are all those with 
Their heads raised toward Heaven, 
Who do continually look up 
In anticipation of My coming... 
 
They shall surely be gone from this place! 
 
&dagger; 
 
Blessed are the wise who wait and watch, 
And see these things come to pass 
During their generation... 
 
Blessed are the faithful, 
For they shall be lifted up. 
 
&dagger; 
 
Blessed is the one who finds his way to Me, 
Without the hindrances of men. 
 
&dagger; 
 
Blessed are those who diligently 
Seek after God, for they will surely find Me... 
 
But know this, I am also He who 
Corrects and disciplines those He loves. 
 
&dagger; 
 
Blessed is the man who comes to Me 
Ashamed of his trespasses, whose heart 
Is full of grief on account of his sins, 
For I am faithful to forgive his sins... 
 
Indeed I shall lift him up, 
And set his feet upon hallowed ground. 

==Blessed Are Those Who Believe in Me==
 
Blessed are those who never lost the pearl, 
But held it close their whole life. 
 
&dagger; 
 
I am not a god of force, for that which I give 
Must be received with gladness... 
 
And oh how blessed are those 
Who have truly received, 
For a multitude of joy awaits them... 
 
Soon lifted up, high upon healing wings! 
 
&dagger; 
 
Blessed are those who believe without seeing; 
They have received their reward. 
 
&dagger; 
 
Blessed are those who put their trust 
In God and abide in His Son... 
 
For they shall receive 
Blessing upon blessing, grace upon grace, 
And wisdom with all trust. 
 
&dagger; 
 
Blessed are those who believe in Me... 
 
Even more blessed are those who 
Embrace Me fully and walk in My ways, 
For they shall fly away. 
 
&dagger; 
 
Beloved, I have saved you already, 
Having sent The Lamb of God 
Slain from the foundation of the world; 
He was come into the world, 
And you would not receive Him... 
 
Blessed are those who have received Him; 
Grace covers them. 
 
Behold, He is coming again, 
And He have I poured out on every nation, 
Yet you are offended in Him... 
 
Blessed are the thirsty, 
Who have drunk deeply from His cup; 
They are filled with His glory. 
 
 
Behold, He shall call out, He shall surely gather, 
Yet you will neither see nor hear Him... 
 
Blessed are those who have 
Eyes to see and ears to hear; 
For they shall surely be gone from this place. 
 
&dagger; 
 
As there is only One Way 
And only One Truth and only One Life, 
There can be only One Wisdom also... 
 
Blessed are all those who choose Him. 
 
&dagger; 
 
Blessed are the feet of those 
Who bring the Gospel of The Messiah 
To the hungry and thirsty... 
 
Even more blessed are those 
Who eat and drink 
Of that which is offered them. 
 
&dagger; 
 
Blessed are the pure in heart, 
For they shall surely behold My face. 
 
&dagger; 
 
Blessed are those who watch 
And wait eagerly for My coming... 
 
Blessed are their eyes, 
Though they have yet to see, 
For they have understood... 
 
Blessed are their feet also, 
For they walk along the highway 
Called Holy, and do not tarry... 
 
Lo, they follow close behind Me, 
Going wheresoever I lead them... 
 
Behold, they have passed 
From judgment into life, 
And I have provided The Way. 
 
&dagger; 
 
YahuShua is The Gift, 
Whom you call Christ and Jesus... 
 
Blessed are those who know and accept Him.

There is only one name under Heaven, 
By which you must be saved... 
 
And oh how blessed are those 
Who put their trust in Him.

For they shall inherit the Kingdom on Earth. 
 
&dagger; 
 
Blessed are those who 
Bless the name of The Lord, 
And happy are those who have His name 
Perpetually on their lips...

Forever striving to walk in His ways 
And keep His Commandments... 
 
Fully partaking of the fruit of the Spirit. 
 
&dagger; 
 
Blessed are those who have tasted and seen, 
For they have received of The Divine Gift... 
 
The Lord Himself shall be 
Their inheritance, forever.

All My servants move, speak and hear Me 
Through My spirit, and only through 
The Son shall My children come 
To know Me as I truly am...

Are those who know Him... 
 
For they love Him and obey His voice, 
Having truly received of Him, 
Even of His spirit, the Spirit of God. 
 
&dagger; 
 
Blessed is the man who sincerely repents, 
And also departs from the ways of his flesh... 
 
And happy is the man who loves The Lord 
With all his heart, with all his soul, 
With all his mind and with all his strength... 
 
For he knows The Kingdom of Heaven already, 
And shall soon enter in.

Blessed are those who eat of The True Bread, 
And drink continuously from 
The Fountain of Living Waters...

For these have already passed 
From judgment into life,

And they shall be My people. 
 
Yet even more blessed are those 
Who bow down and kiss the feet of My Son; 
Their sins are forgiven them... 
 
For those who embrace The Son of God 
Have touched The Kingdom of Heaven... 
 
Everlasting life is their reward, 
Dwelling in union with 
The Messiah, forever.

&dagger; 
 
It is written: 
“Who can know the mind of God?”[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isaiah+40%3A13%3B+Romans+11%3A34&version=NKJV]...

And keep His Commandments... 
 
They shall surely 
Be taken out of this place. 
 
&dagger; 
 
For there is but One Sanctuary 
In which My people are to take refuge, 
One Shelter from the heat of the Day... 
 
Blessed, therefore, are all those who embrace Him fully 
And strive always to walk in His ways... 
 
They shall be hidden under the shadow 
Of His healing wings, high and lifted up... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==Blessed Are Those Who Overcome==
 
Blessed are those who overcome 
For My name’s sake... 
 
To these is there a place of great honor, 
Where they shall be placed upon the mantle 
Of The Lord, in His house, forever. 
 
&dagger; 
 
Blessed are all those who lose their life 
In this world, for My sake; 
They have their reward... 
 
Yet woe to those who hold fast 
To their life in this world, 
For all they have is passing away. 
 
&dagger; 
 
Blessed are all those who patiently endure 
For My name’s sake... 
 
They fulfill the promises. 
 
&dagger; 
 
Blessed is the one who embraces 
The calling of The Lord wholeheartedly... 
 
For a servant such as this lays down his life 
Each day, bearing his cross after Me... 
 
Upon waking he kneels down 
At the feet of The Lord, 
With an open heart and open hands... 
 
 
And in this servant My soul delights. 
 
&dagger; 
 
Blessed are those who crucify their lives of old, 
And present themselves as a 
Living sacrifice unto God... 
 
For their prayers have been received 
Up to Heaven, for a memorial 
Before The Holy One of Israel. 
 
&dagger; 
 
There can be no birth apart from travail, 
For birth is always accompanied 
By much travail... 
 
Yet oh how blessed are those 
Who persevere with their hearts 
Fixed upon the goal, enduring the pain, 
For they shall surely receive their reward. 
 
&dagger; 
 
Blessed is the wise and faithful servant, 
Who gives no thought to how they are 
Perceived in the eyes of others; 
For they obey My voice, and are not 
Dismayed by the looks of those 
Who judge without knowledge... 
 
Indeed, they seek only to please their Master, 
Having no need of the approval of others. 
 
&dagger; 
 
Blessed are those who do not return 
Evil for evil, or reviling for reviling, 
But rather pray for their enemies... 
 
Blessed are those who hold no ill-will 
In their heart toward another... 
 
Indeed, blessed are all those who forgive 
Everyone who has sinned against them, 
For great shall be their reward in Heaven. 

==Blessed Are Those Who Serve Me as I Have Loved Them==
 
Give, and you will also receive... 
 
Yet even more blessed is the one who gives, 
Expecting nothing in return; 
For this is to walk in Me, in My very footsteps. 
 
&dagger; 
 
Blessed are those who call upon 
The name of The Messiah 
In sincerity and in truth, 
For the Spirit of God dwells within them... 
 
Blessed are those who seek refuge in Him, 
For they shall find it... 
 
Blessed are all those who love 
And obey The Son, 
For they shall be delivered. 
 
&dagger; 
 
Blessed is that servant of Mine 
Who seeks out the poor, 
Whose heart is eager to help the needy, 
For they know My ways and seek to please Me... 
 
Blessed also is My servant who gives 
Out of the abundance they have received, 
For they walk in My ways... 
 
Yet most blessed is My servant 
Who gives from their lack, 
For they do justly, love mercy, 
And walk humbly with their God... 
 
Indeed, they have understood. 
 
&dagger; 
 
Blessed is My servant who gives 
Out of the abundance of their heart... 
 
A joyful giver, 
Who knows that all they have is Mine 
And all I have is theirs. 
 
&dagger; 
 
Blessed are those who wait eagerly for My coming, 
Blessed are all those who keep watch, 
For I shall bless them with a multitude of 
Blessings, a great fulfilling of My spirit in them!... 
 
Lo, they shall stand up and march 
Across these desolate lands!... 
 
They shall stand up! Says The Lord of Hosts... 
 
And I shall bless them 
And bring glory to My name! 
 
&dagger; 
 
Blessed are the feet of those I am sending, 
For they have received a message from God. 
 
&dagger; 
 
The King shall stand up, 
And all creation shall bow down!... 
 
And He shall look upon 
The joy of His heart with gladness, 
And the blessing shall be fulfilled... 
 
For He shall bless them and keep them, 
And make His face to shine upon them; 
He shall be gracious to them, 
And lift up His countenance upon them, 
And grant them peace[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Numbers%206%3A24-26&version=NKJV]... 
 
And thus shall My name be placed 
Upon the children of Israel, 
Even upon all who have been grafted in, 
And they shall be blessed!... 
 
Yea, they shall be exceedingly glad, 
Dwelling in the presence 
Of The Lord, forever! 
 
Therefore, blessed are all those 
Who seek forgiveness in 
YahuShua HaMashiach, 
And also receive... 
 
For in His name shall all find freedom, 
Solace under the shadow 
Of His healing wings!... 
 
Life without end!... 
 
Says The Lord God.

WORDS TO LIVE BY 
PART TWO

More Words of Wisdom 
From The Lord, Our God and Savior 
 
 
For all those who have dedicated 
Themselves to Me by means of The Truth, 
Those who have recognized My words 
And also do them...

Those who came to Me empty 
That I might fill them up, 
That they might be truly dedicated to Me...

Even as I had dedicated Myself to them also, 
That we may become one...

Set apart in My glory, for My glory, 
To the joy of their Father in Heaven...

Says The Lord YahuShua. 
 
 
Grow wise in Me, and live according to My Word, 
Even according to all these Letters I have given you, 
By which I have set all these crooked paths straight. 
For My every word is Scripture, My every Letter truth.

For it is written: 
Man shall not live by bread alone, 
But by every word that proceeds 
From the mouth of God[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%204%3A4&version=NKJV]...

Says The Lord. 

==I Am The Lord's==
 
A Prayer Against Temptation

 
I am The Lord’s! 
And I will no more give myself to diverse lusts, 
To the cares and deceits of my flesh and this world. 

I am The Lord's! 
My heart, it is The Lord’s; My mind, it is The Lord’s; 
My will, it is The Lord’s; My flesh, it is The Lord’s; 
The whole of my body, even all I am, I give to The Lord. 

I am The Lord’s! 
Yea, I pour out my life before The Lord, 
Even as He poured out His; let me receive it! 
In the name of My Love, I call out 
In YahuShua’s name, I ask to receive it!

YahuShua, My Life and My Righteousness, 
I want Your life!

My Lord and my God, I am yours! 
Do with me as You please, according to 
The good pleasure of Your will...

I give myself away... 

Amen. 

==The Bridegroom Approaches==
 
Thus says The Lord: I AM COME![https://www.thevolumesoftruth.com/I_AM_COME]… 
 
From the farthest reaches of creation to the deepest depths of the earth, below the foundations, from beyond time and space shall the sound of My voice come forth! IT SHALL RESOUND LOUDLY! I SHALL BE HEARD! 
Even within the hearts of men shall My voice burst forth, rushing through their veins, causing each of their members to tingle, a great and wonderful shudder within their spirits to the purging of their souls! 
 
For I sit higher than the tallest mountain, I am set high above the highest heavens, set apart and holy, set apart in power and great glory! 
 
Behold, before the beginning was My glory declared, and from the ends of time was My majesty set amongst the stars! Before the earth was made, I wore the universe as a garment! 
Who is like Me?! Declares The Alpha. Who holds all existence together by the Word of His power and by the vastness of His knowledge? Says The Omega. Answer, young children, answer if you know. Speak My name aloud; withhold not! SHOUT, MY SONS AND DAUGHTERS! Let your hearts burst forth with praise! Let every beat resound within your chests, to the praise of My glory! 
Bless the name of pure, unending love! Bless the name of mercy and grace, the name of righteousness! Bless the name of Him who bore your sins upon the tree! KISS THE SON! Says YAHUWAH, The Holy! Kiss Him upon His feet, kiss Him upon His hands, put your hand in His side–TASTE and see! Come close, and kiss My wounds which I received, yes, each one you gave Me. Kiss Me, and be separated no longer; partake of His fullness and receive of Me! 
 
Awaken your hearts! Rouse from your slumber! YOUR KING COMES TO YOU! He is just, HE is your salvation! His garment is righteousness! Have you grasped it? Hurry, lay hold on Him! 
He is My heart, says The Father. Press your ear against My chest, and listen to the sound of My love, every beat of My mercy. Feel the embrace of My arms, strong and gentle–I AM YOUR FATHER! Your heart’s one embrace! 
 
My children, have you heard? Have you truly considered? THE DESIRE OF AGES IS COME! Therefore sing, sing for Me!... 
 
THE BRIDEGROOM APPROACHES! 

==The Only Way==
 
Beloved children, I say this once again, so you may be saved: Come out! Come out from among them and be separate! Says The Lord. And no more touch what is unclean, and I will receive you![https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2%20Corinthians%206%3A17&version=NKJV] 
 

For there is but One Way!...

YahuShua HaMashiach, 
Yes, He who is called Jesus The Christ, 
HE is The Only Way!...

Therefore follow close behind Him, 
In His very footsteps, 
And you shall surely live and not die...

Says The Lord whose dominion is everlasting 
And whose authority is absolute, 
The Only Lord God of Hosts, The I AM. 

==Wake Up==
 
Wake up and pay attention! 
Awaken out of this sleep, be shaken out 
Of this slumber, and call upon My name!...

Seek out My will that you may know it; 
Heed the sound of this Trumpet and prepare!...

For My Kingdom comes, and My will 
Shall be done on earth as in Heaven...

Says The Lord God. 

==Hold Fast==
 
Beloved, prepare your hearts 
And do not abandon hope...

Though much death draws near and 
The pain of death increases in every corner, 
Though heavy sorrows overtake the land 
And tears fill your eyes, hold fast...

Embrace Me fully and do not waver... 

Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==Splendor==
 
I created autumn so all may Partake of My brushstrokes, 
And know I am God, and give Me glory...

For My splendor is written 
In the leaves of the trees; 
It is carried upon the wind, 
As it moves through the tall grasses; 
It soars high above on the wings of eagles, 
Yet remains as near as the fragile flower at your feet...

Behold, everywhere you look, 
The hand of God is clearly seen...

Says The Lord. 

==In The Image of God==
 
All have sinned and fall short of the Glory of God; there is none righteous, no, not one. And for this reason YahuShua The Messiah was sent to die for all men; thereby freeing mankind from the chains which held him captive, loosing him from the bonds which bound him to the punishment of sin, which is death. 
 

So then as The Messiah was 
Crucified and died, and is risen, 
So too must you crucify your life of old...

Who you were must perish, 
Along with your sinful ways, 
Then shall you truly be born again...

Revived and restored in The Image of God...

Says The Lord. 

==LIFE IS==
 
Blessed be the name of The One 
Who is, and was, and is forevermore, 
The Fosterer and Protector of those 
Tossed away in bitter ignorance...

For LIFE IS, before its very conception...

Says The Lord. 

==A Gemstone‎‎==
 
Like a gemstone shining in the midst of all 
This darkness, easily found by the eyes of God, 
So shall you be in the day you surrender your life, 
The day you give up this fight and return to Me...

Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==No Walls‎‎==
 
No church named of men 
Is the true church - not one...

Rather each member individually, 
Who believes in The Messiah and obeys 
His voice, in whom His spirit dwells, 
Make up the True Church of His body...

No walls, only spirit and truth... 

Says The Lord. 

==Marriage‎‎==
 
I gave unto man woman, 
From his side did I form her, 
And he who was one became two; 
And behold, the two became one again in marriage...

Two of one flesh, man and woman[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis+2%3A21-24&version=NKJV]...

And I saw that it was very good... 

Says The Lord. 

==Bitter==
 
If you dispense the food of God to the hungry, 
While using your own salt to salt that which 
Has salt in itself, will not the food you offer 
Lose its flavor and become bitter in the mouths 
Of those who came looking to be fed?...

Says The Lord. 

==Gone From This Place==
 
The Thief shall enter the house 
And steal away all who are not tied down, 
Fastened, or shackled to the house...

And all those in whom He sees of Himself 
Shall surely be gone from this place!...

Says The Lord. 

==A Modest Answer‎‎==
 
Saying “I don’t know” is truthful,  
Humble, a modest answer...

Yet assertions without knowledge are akin 
To a lie, the seeds of pride and vanity...

Says The Lord. 

==Sanctuary==
 
Come out from among them, 
And take refuge in Me...

For I am your only shelter, 
Your only sanctuary from the storm...

Says The Holy One of Israel. 

==Bless Those Who Curse You==
 
My children, struggle not against the principles of another, nor rebuke them with your own words, nor correct them by your own understanding. Let go of your personal notions of right and wrong, and strive to love others in spite of yourselves, and have compassion for those with whom you disagree. 
 

Do not judge them, 
Nor shun them in your heart...

Rather love those who speak against you, 
Because you obey My Word...

Bless those who curse you, 
And pray for those who mistreat you, 
As it is written[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+5%3A44&version=NKJV]...

Says The Lord. 

==The Only Faithful and True Witness==
 
I have written it on tablets of stone 
And within the heart of man, and within 
The pages of My Book it is made plain; 
Thus they are without excuse...

For I am God alone, The Righteous One...

I alone am holy, just and good; 
I alone have divided right from wrong; 
I alone have established 
The Law and define what is sin; 
Behold, I expose the darkness and bring 
All hidden things into the light...

For I alone sit as Judge, 
The Only Faithful and True Witness...

Says The Lord. 

==Created Anew==
 
Trust in Me, and you shall be set free...

For it is the humble, 
Penitent man who shall see God; 
Behold, he shall look upon My face, 
As I restore him in My image...

For I am the image of The Invisible God, 
The perfect reflection of The Father, 
The face of The Majesty from on high, 
Immanu El...

Therefore open your heart to Me, 
And I shall create you anew...

Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==Humble and Penitent==
 
All upon the earth who have gained maturity 
Have become so very poor and desolate...

For once you were wealthy, 
Rich beyond words, for then you knew 
The Kingdom of Heaven as a child; 
Yet now you are grown, your light 
Quickly fading, as the ways of this 
World pull you down to the pit...

Therefore return to Me, humble and penitent; 
Come to Me as a child...

For by no other means shall you pass through[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+18%3A3-4&version=NKJV]...

Says The Lord. 

==The Pure of Heart==
 
What is a child’s inheritance on earth and in Heaven, if the years of their life be few in number and they remain in their innocence? Assuredly, I say to you, they will inherit The Kingdom of Heaven, for The Father holds the pure of heart in the palm of His right hand. For like the firefly which alights upon the tall grass, so are these little ones, precious lights shining among men. 
 

And though the little ones may suffer 
At the hands of men in this world, 
I tell you the truth, all arrive at 
The Father’s house in a moment, 
In the twinkling of an eye...

Where healing is complete 
And every tear is wiped away, 
The ways of the world and men forgotten...

Only love abides, as they look upon 
The face of their Father forever...

Says The Lord. 

==Rest==
 
Many things shall be put to rest in 
The Lord’s Day, even death and the grave; 
Destruction shall have no place, 
And evil shall be far removed...

For as it is written: 
They shall not hurt nor destroy in all 
My Holy Mountain, for the earth shall be 
Full of the knowledge of The Lord 
As the waters cover the sea[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isaiah+11%3A9&version=NKJV]...

Therefore, beloved ones, pray always 
That you are counted worthy to 
Enter My rest, that you may abide 
In the presence of The Lord, forever...

Says The Lord. 

==Your Only Salvation==
 
O most foolish and deceived generation, 
Can anyone cut out their own heart and live?...

And who is able to walk alone in darkness, 
Without a light to guide them? 
Who shall uphold them when they stumble 
Or catch them when they fall? 
Who will bind up their wounds?...

O ignorant and confused generation, 
Deceived peoples, The Stone which you seek 
To cast off is LIFE, your only salvation!...

Says The Lord. 

==Your Help and Your Shield==
 
The Mashiach is your help and your shield...

YahuShua, whom you call Jesus and Christ, 
Is The Rock of your Salvation, 
The One who is and was and is to come; 
For The Father and The Son are One...

Therefore embrace Me in My Mercy, 
And receive of Me in My Great Love...

Says The Lord God. 

==The Lord’s Table==
 
The Lord’s table is a bounty...

And those who eat from My plate are 
Always full, and those who drink from 
My cup shall never go thirsty...

For My cup overflows, 
Bearing fruit in every part of your life, 
Bringing forth love and understanding...

Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==The Sign of The Son of Man==
 
The heavens shall be divided, 
And divided again, the glory thereof 
Stretching from the earth to heaven, 
And the clouds shall be rolled back like a scroll...

Behold the brilliance, O earth! 
Be bowed down and weep, O sons of men! 
For The One whom you pierced is about to appear![https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Zechariah+12%3A10&version=NKJV]...

Let every eye be opened therefore, 
Let all in the earth see, until the fullness 
Of the revelation is made complete...

Thus that which was the beginning and the end 
Shall also be the end which brings forth 
The new beginning...

Says The Lord. 

==Soiled==
 
The water of the earth can only cleanse 
That which is soiled on the skin; 
By no means can it cleanse 
That which is soiled in the spirit...

This is reserved for the blood of The Lamb... 

Says The Lord. 

==Against God==
 
That which is unnatural is universally known, 
Though the men and women of this world deny it; 
And that which is against God shall be purged by fire...

Even all that offends shall be destroyed 
And come to a swift end...

Says The Lord. 

==Walk With Me==
 
My Word is for all who truly seek Me 
And long to know My ways, 
Even to walk in them...

Thus My Word can only be accepted 
And understood by those who have 
Received the love of the Truth, 
For they abide in Me and 
My spirit resides within them...

For how can one who stands 
Apart from Me know Me? 
And how can one who teaches his 
Own way walk with Me in Mine?...

Says The Lord. 

==The Water of Siloam==
 
Men do not have understanding of the Scriptures in themselves. Rather it is a gift from God, received through the Holy Spirit, given to those who have placed all their trust in The Holy One, embracing Me as I truly am. Or have you never read this Scripture: The fear of The Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of The Holy One is understanding?[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Proverbs%209%3A10&version=NKJV] 
Therefore to those who have received is all revealed, and to those who have not received is all shut away. Shall the darkness understand the light? For only those of The Light, bathed in His glory, shall see - the rest left blinded. 
 

For until one calls on the name of 
The Messiah, in sincerity and in truth, 
By no means shall they receive...

For He is The One who had placed 
The mud upon their eyes to heal them...

Behold, He is also The Water of Siloam 
Which was sent to wash them, 
That they might now see[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+9%3A6-7&version=NKJV]...

Says The Lord. 

==The Perfect Reflection==
 
Apart from Me, there is no wisdom! Apart from The Holy One, there is no life! Apart from The Vine, there are no branches! 
Behold, the leaves wither and the fruit has been cast down, for the people have no favor with God. Thus every dry branch must be broken off and cast into the fire, all corrupt fruit must be left and tread down.  
For the temple of God has lost its form; its comeliness has departed, every chamber is empty. For the heart of man is void, his countenance unyielding. Thus the pride of man has become a chasm, both deep and wide. 
 

Therefore repent, and receive of Me 
As I am, and not as you would have Me be, 
That you may be truly born again.

For I am the perfect reflection of The Father, 
The image of The Invisible God...

I died, behold, I am risen, 
And by My life are you saved; 
That you might become the perfect  
Reflection of Me, The One alone  
In whom is everlasting life...

Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==My Body, My Bride==
 
My church has no walls, 
And is called by no other name except 
The name The Father has given Me...

Its members are of one mind 
And one spirit, of one love, 
One flock with one Shepherd...

A people set apart who keep 
The Commandments of The Father 
And remain faithful to The Son, 
Striving always to walk in My ways...

For those who truly know Me 
Dwell in Me, and I in them; 
For they are Mine, even as I am theirs also...

My body, My bride... 

Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==The Remnant==
 
I am He who searches the hearts 
And minds, I know My own; 
I know whose love is steadfast, 
Whose faith is unmoving...

And this is the True Church 
My people long for, the remnant 
Which now is and is yet to come...

For it is not found outwardly in the world, 
But inwardly, in the temple of God...

I AM THE LORD. 

==The Truth==
 
The Scriptures are not malleable; 
The Commandments do not change!...

For The Truth is absolute, 
Forever standing on a hill, 
Bright and shining, 
Immovable, unbreakable!...

The Everlasting Stone which has 
Become The Head of the Corner[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+21%3A42&version=KJV], 
The Great Mountain which fills the whole earth[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Daniel+2%3A35&version=NKJV]...

Says The Lord. 

==Absolute==
 
The Word stands forever...

Immovable and everlasting, 
Unchangeable, having complete 
Authority over all things, 
The light and the dark, 
The righteous and the wicked...

Indeed, the whole universe is 
Set within the confines of His will, 
Giving heed to Him who created it, 
Forever and ever...

Says The Lord. 

==Twin Daggers==
 
My words are fire, singeing the forehead 
Of the arrogant, setting the countenance 
Of the prideful ablaze, twin daggers 
Piercing the heart of every hearer...

Therefore hear the Word of The Lord, 
And heed the call...

For it is a call to repentance, a shout 
And a witness, a proclamation of Truth...

A trumpet of alarm and war, a declaration 
Of judgment, a strong rebuke...

Says The Lord. 

==Abolished==
 
The reign of evil shall be abolished, 
The wicked stricken and the evil of heart 
Blotted out, extinguished in the 
Lake of My burning heart...

For My heart is set ablaze in My anger, 
And My countenance burns like a raging fire; 
My sadness is infinite, the weight of 
Unending sorrow covers Me...

For as I live, says The Lord, I take no 
Pleasure in the destruction of the wicked...

But call all in the earth to repent, 
To turn from their evil ways 
And return to Me...

Says The Lord. 

==Every Heart Laid Bare==
 
One Commandment broken are all Commandments broken. One sin committed in The Messiah’s name are all sins accounted to you. One sin repented in His name, all are forgiven you. For I know your thoughts, My children, even your innermost intentions, and I know whether or not you are fully converted in your hearts.  
And though you may lie to yourselves, and bear false witness in the sight of many witnesses, nothing is hidden from the eyes of God - every lie exposed, every heart laid bare, in the Day I rise up and judge the earth. 
 

Come to Me, therefore, in sincerity and in truth; 
Humble yourselves in The Messiah’s name...

For He is The True Light, utterly void of darkness, 
The Only Way to follow, The Truth Absolute; 
By Him alone shall you walk into everlasting life...

For only those who walk in Him shall find Me, 
And only those in union with Him shall know Me...

Says The Lord. 

==The Only True Religion==
 
I am The Way, The Truth, and The Life...

And this is pure, undefiled love, 
The only means by which The Law 
Of The Father may be fulfilled: 
You shall love The Lord your God 
With all your heart, with all your mind, 
With all your soul and with all your strength; 
And yes, beloved, you shall love 
Your neighbor as yourself...

For this is to walk in Me, this is to abide in Me, 
The only true religion in which is life...

Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==True Faith==
 
True faith has a name, 
And true religion yields fruit of the same...

A Bride who obeys the voice of her 
Husband and walks in His ways, 
A people worthy to be called by His name...

Says The Lord. 

==Regain the Line==
 
Beloved, turn aside and come to Me.

Regain the line and together we shall walk, 
Choosing the good and refusing the evil, 
Until you also have forgotten your sin.

Behold, it is separated from you 
As far as the east is from the west...

Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==Worthless Images==
 
Do not put your trust in idols, nor in any man-made image forged of stone or marble, or of wood or brass, gold or of fine metal; there is no life in it! For they can not speak or walk; they have no power at all. 
Yea, men bear them upon their shoulders, for they can not move from their places. They have no strength, they are helpless, worthless images carved in futility and must be borne. 
 

Look how easily they are toppled 
By the wind and broken in pieces, 
When the earth is shaken but a little...

Says The Lord. 

==Impotent Leaders==
 
Do not put your trust in any man, 
Though he speaks with a clever tongue, 
With many enticing words of unity 
And peace, and many great promises...

And though others bow down to him 
And give him glory, you shall not 
Place your trust in any man...

For man is but flesh...

Easily crushed beneath the weight 
Of a single branch falling from a tree...

Says The Lord. 

==The Prince of Peace==
 
YahuShua HaMashiach 
Is The Fulfillment of all things, 
The Truth and Understanding you seek, 
The Meaning of Life...

HE is The Bread which came down 
From Heaven to feed those who hunger, 
The Fountain of Living Waters for those 
Who thirst, The Prince of Peace...

The ONLY Way, The ONLY Truth, 
The ONLY Life...

Says The Lord God. 

==The Goal==
 
The spirit of The Law is shown 
In The Messiah’s vesture, He being the 
Same One who taught you The Law anew, 
By His example and by His every word and deed...

For The Law is fulfilled in The Messiah; 
Indeed, He is the goal at which the Torah aims[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans+10%3A4&version=CJB]...

Says The Lord God. 

==Life Without End==
 
My mercy endures forever...

And those who receive of My Mercy 
Shall likewise endure, forever...

Says The Lord. 

==Cherished==
 
The works of men are evil, even from their youth...

Thus the little children shall be 
My inheritance, and the babes My jewels...

For the innocent come forth as lights shining 
Out of darkness, gifts born from the womb; 
They are precious; to be cherished 
Is every child in their youth...

For the innocent are of more value 
Than gold and silver, prized 
Above precious stones...

Says The Lord. 

==ONE==
Give heed to My words and understand. For as I had spoken to My friends in times past, so now do I also speak to you. For the time has come and is coming and is already here, when all signs and wonders shall be made manifest, when all prophecy shall be fulfilled. Rejoice, for your redemption draws near! And though the time of great sorrows has come in, hold fast, for these days shall be shortened... No more pain, no more tears, no more death, all sorrows passing away, rebirth, a time of refreshing which shall never end.
 
Therefore, remember My words and have peace:

One God... 
 
One Son, The Only Way to The Father...

One Truth, One Word, One Messiah, One Spirit; 
One Food, One Bread and One Drink...

One Body...

Of which I am all, 
The All in All...

Says The Lord. 

==Take Your Fill‎‎==
 
Come and drink fully of that which is sweet; 
Come and drink also of that which you perceive 
To be bitter and very hard to swallow...

Ingest it fully...

For it too shall become sweet 
When understanding comes...

Says The Lord. 

==More Than the Asking==
 
Repentance is more than the asking...

It must come from a deep desire to be 
Set free in My love, followed by a sincere 
Unyielding commitment to make your 
Love perfect through obedience...

The shedding of the skin 
Of this world, the crucifying 
Of your old man with his sinful ways...

The putting on of the new man 
Who is renewed in the knowledge 
Of The Holy One, conforming to the 
Image of Him who created him[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Colossians%203%3A9-10&version=NKJV]... 

Says The Lord. 

==Lead by Example==
 
Strive to walk as I walked, and they will see, 
For every veil is lifted in Me...

Be steadfast and forthcoming; 
Make honesty your companion 
And integrity your close friend...

Lead by example, with quiet boldness 
And steadfast trust, and they will begin to see...

Says The Lord. 

==A Shining Example==
 
To abide in the doctrine of The Messiah 
Is not mere proclamation or belief...

To abide in His doctrine is to LIVE by His words, 
A shining example of righteousness, 
Striving always to make your love 
Perfect through obedience...

That those close to you, even to the passerby, 
May see your good works and glorify 
Your Father in Heaven...

For it is written: 
One does not live on bread and 
Water alone, but by every word that 
Comes from the mouth of God[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%204%3A4&version=NKJV]...

So then do not just give voice and preach, 
But ABIDE in the doctrine of The Messiah...

By example shall you lead them... 

Says The Lord. 

==Let The Law Be Written in Your Heart==
 
I am the fulfillment of The Law, 
The very goal at which the Torah aims...

Thus all those who embrace Me 
Are freed from the curse of The Law, 
But by no means are they now free 
To forsake The Law...

Rather let The Law be written in your heart...

For now you are under grace, 
And by the power of My own spirit 
Are you now able to keep The Law...

Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==First Partakers==
 
God is just in everything...

And if The Father’s justice is not partial, 
Then it shall surely come to pass in these 
Latter days, that those who have 
Placed themselves first shall be last...

And those who were seen as last 
Shall be first partakers of The Glory...

Says The Lord. 

==Be Born Again‎‎==
 
Repent in sincerity and in truth...

Return to your First Love, 
Walk in the first works; 
Embrace The Word of God anew, 
Bringing forth works worthy of repentance...

That you may truly be born again... 

Says The Lord. 

==A Continual Washing==
 
I tell you a mystery: It has been appointed to those who are born twice to die once, but by no means shall they die a second time. Yet those who do not come to Me in repentance shall be born once and die twice. Yet there are some among this generation who shall never taste death, having already passed from judgment into life. 
Thus to My chosen elect, there is a death of the body unto resurrection. Yet for those still living at My return, there is a death of another kind - the crucifying of your old man with his sinful ways, the putting on of the new man who is renewed in the knowledge of the Truth, restored in the image of Him who created him.[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Colossians%203%3A9-10&version=NKJV] 
Thus when one is born into this world, the child and the mother suffer the pangs of childbirth, until the birth is complete. In the same way, those born of the Spirit shall suffer travail. For they are not yet separated from their flesh or this world, in which they continually stumble. 
 

So then, being born again is the process 
By which you are restored in the image of God, 
A continual washing, until you come into glory...

Says The Lord. 

==Reborn==
 
As a babe is born naked and wrapped in soft linens, 
So also shall My people be reborn - 
Naked, void of the things of this world, 
Clothed in fine linens of white...

Behold, the corruptible has put on incorruption, 
And the mortal, immortality, as it is written[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Corinthians%2015%3A54&version=NKJV]...

Says The Lord. 

==The Perfect Lamb==
 
I carried the weight of the world’s sin to the cross, 
And crucified sin through My suffering - 
The penalty of sin abolished as I fell asleep, 
The Victory established for all time upon My rising...

For I am and will always be The Perfect Lamb, 
Without spot or blemish, given up for many...

The Restoration of All Things... 

Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==One Source==
 
That which glorifies Me can have only one source...

And that which denies My sacrifice, as though it 
Were not enough, steals from My glory, 
And this also has one source...

Says The Lord. 

==I Shall Not Lose One‎‎==
 
I forgive all who return to Me...

Even the one in ninety-nine who goes astray; 
Even the one among twelve who betrays Me...

For I am The Lord...

And of all those The Father 
Has given Me, I shall not lose one...

Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==Fear Not==
 
Beloved, I know when each will come to Me, I know every trial and tribulation. Therefore, call on My name in this time of darkness, in this time of great calamity and fear. Hold fast through all these tears, endure in these times of trouble.  
 

Fear not, for I have overcome the world; 
I hold the keys of death and Sheol, 
And The Book of Life is held 
Securely in My right hand...

No one can steal you from My love; 
No one can pluck you from My hand; 
No one can break off what I have grafted in...

For I know you as you are and as you will be, 
With Me where I am...

Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==True Wisdom==
 
True wisdom is not of man, nor is it found in the earth, but from above - heavenly, holy. For that created was created according to the wisdom of Him who created it and by whom all things consist, knowing their form from the beginning. Therefore the fear of The Lord is indeed the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of The Holy One is understanding, as it is written.[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Proverbs%209%3A10&version=NKJV] For apart from Me there is no knowledge, apart from Me all understanding passes away. For I AM HE, The Only Fountain from which flows all wisdom and knowledge, The Source of all things. 
 

So then all who receive of Me grow wise, 
Receiving of that which is pure, 
Learning to walk in that which is eternal...

As one being led along a mountain stream 
Of living waters, filled with a fervent 
Desire to seek out its source...

Drinking from it along the way, 
Gaining strength in weakness, 
Leaving all behind in their holy pursuit...

Says The Lord. 

==The Only Truth==
 
I AM...

And you are in life because of Me...

And all that is, even all these worlds 
To every star you see in the heavens, 
Was made according to the wisdom 
Of The Father, brought forth and established 
Through The Son, by whom all things consist...

For I AM, and have always been, 
The Way and The Life, The Salvation of God, 
The Only Truth from which all understanding flows...

YAHUSHUA-YAHUWAH. 

==Faithful==
 
One who truly loves Me speaks about Me, 
And remains faithful at all times and in every season; 
And one who places Me above all else has shown their 
Loved ones who is first, and what faithfulness truly is...

For there is no true love apart from Me; 
Nor can one remain faithful unless 
They have received of Me...

Therefore to speak of Me in the 
Company of others is to love them...

And to deny Me in the company of others 
Is to hate them, whereby you have also 
Revealed that your comfort is of more 
Importance than The Truth, and keeping 
The peace more important than their lives...

Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==Patience and Faith‎‎==
 
What is the knowledge of man? Is it not a stone of stumbling? And the pride of man, a rock of offense? How then shall the blind see or the deaf hear, unless I heal them? Or how shall one grab hold of the line, unless it is first placed within their reach? 
 

Yet My servants are wise...

They fear The Lord, and wait upon Me 
With all patience and faith, doubting nothing, 
Humble servants who study My Word, knowing 
I am The Author and The Finisher thereof...

When they wake and when they lie down, I am there... 

I am their life, and they are My joy...

Says The Lord. 

==Impasse‎‎==
 
When My servants come to an impasse in My Word, according to their own understanding, what is their reaction? They continue on, without hindrance or doubt. 
For their relationship with The Author is intimate, their trust without reservation. Thus they remain at peace, and wait upon The Lord for the light of understanding, knowing in their heart every word is true, ready to receive the spirit of the Word, stumbling not over its letter. 
And until My people are established firmly upon this premise, they will remain daunted, striving to see but never fully understanding, straining to hear but remaining dull of hearing. 
 

Thus for My wise and faithful servants, 
All barriers are removed...

For their peace is in the knowing, 
I AM WHO I AM, though they yet 
Stand at the beginning, unable to see the end...

An heir of all I will reveal to them 
When the fullness of time has come in...

Says The Lord. 

==Be Joined Unto Me==
 
I have called My people out, that they might 
Come out from among them and be separate...

A people set apart for My name, 
A people who keep The Commandments 
And cease not from testifying to My glory, 
A people of pure and undefiled faith...

A people joined unto ME... 

Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==The Watchmen==
 
Consider the squirrel and its ways...

Does it not live among the trees, 
Running up and down with ease, 
Leaping from branch to branch with skill and grace, 
Perfectly designed for its abode and purpose?...

So shall My watchmen be in the Day of The Lord...

Prepared, according to their task; 
Established, according to the Word of My mouth; 
Filled, according to their service; 
Remade, according to My purpose...

I AM THE LORD. 

==A Wise and Faithful Servant==
 
Who is a wise and faithful servant?...

Is he not one who receives the blessings 
Of his Father without constraint, one who 
Embraces My speech, whether soft or hard, 
Even of that which I have spoken to another?...

A servant such as this is wise indeed...

For he knows that every good gift 
And every perfect gift is from above, 
And comes down from The Father of Lights, 
With whom there is no variation or 
Shadow of turning, as it is written[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=James%201%3A17&version=NKJV]...

Says The Lord. 

==Mindfulness==
 
What is a son who is mindful of his father’s ways, who pays close attention to his every word? Or a servant, who seeks only to serve his master? Or a faithful bride, who seeks always to please her husband in all her ways, whether he is near or far, in her presence or soon returning? 
 

Beloved ones, be mindful of 
These things and grow in wisdom, 
Abide in trust and do not waver; 
Be at peace...

For I am indeed coming quickly, 
And My reward is with Me...

Says The Lord. 

==Fixed Upon The Goal==
 
Those who I have called out of a place 
Shall in no wise return to it, 
Nor shall they look back...

They shall continue on toward safety, 
With their eyes fixed upon The Goal, 
Walking always in line with the Spirit...

Praying without ceasing, 
Giving heed to My leading, 
Listening for My voice...

Says The Lord. 

==Renewed==
 
Only those who seek that which is first, 
Who fill themselves up with that which 
Is most needful, will finish the day 
With strength enough to face tomorrow...

Therefore seek Me out at every opportunity, 
Whether for a moment or for the hour, 
That you may be renewed in My presence...

Looking always to The Blessed Hope, 
Having tasted of it while in waiting...

Says The Lord. 

==History Has an End==
 
I AM COME[https://www.thevolumesoftruth.com/I_AM_COME]...

The One who was has come; 
The One who is, is come; 
The One who is to come is coming 
Quickly to fulfill and complete...

HISTORY HAS AN END!...

And His name is The Great I AM, 
The Holy One of Israel!...

YAHUSHUA-YAHUWAH!... 

Immanu El! 

==I Am Enough==
 
Beloved ones, you worry, yet I AM HE; 
You weep, yet I AM HE; 
You stumble, yet I AM HE; 
Your hearts tear and break over 
All these sorrows, yet I AM HE...

You struggle and are in turmoil, 
You feel lost, yet I AM HE; 
You grasp at the wind and have 
No understanding, yet I AM HE...

You are persecuted by those 
You love, yet I AM HE; 
The world hates you, yet I AM HE; 
Everything you have is passing away, yet I AM HE; 
Death comes to take you into darkness, yet I AM HE!...

Do you not understand?! I AM ENOUGH! 
The One who sees, The One who knows! 
No matter the time or the season, 
In every moment of your life, I AM HE!...

Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==Choose==
 
Beloved, it is time to choose, 
To make your decision...

It is time to bring your 
Heart forward, and be healed, 
To make your repentance full[https://answersonlygodcangive.com/Regarding_True_Repentance]...

It is time to fall into Me unreservedly; 
Or to depart, and walk through dry places...

Says The Lord. 

==Gifts of the Spirit‎‎==
 
I call My servants out from among them, 
I appoint every office, and I Myself 
Number their steps before them...

For My gifts are given through the Spirit, 
And must also be received in Me...

They are in no wise open to claim, 
Nor shall anyone on earth assign them...

For only those in union with 
The Messiah are able to walk in them...

Says The Lord. 

==In Due Season==
 
I have a great vineyard, with many grapes. I have provided both the early and latter rain and tended every vine, pruning them with sure hands and delicate fingers. Yet many wither, while others fail to produce, and still others are slow to ripen. 
I have waited patiently and tended My vineyard, doing all that was necessary to produce a fair crop, and now it is time for harvest. Yet I tell you plainly, it shall be a very lowly crop, a very small harvest, for few have ripened to maturity. Thus they must be left to ripen in their season. 
 

And though the winds shall be harsh 
And the rains rare, behold, even all 
Manner of plagues shall come, 
I must not gather them 
Until their due season...

Says The Lord. 

==Lukewarm==
 
One who treads the path, going up 
And down, stepping on and off at 
Their convenience, treads not the path, 
But is like one who treads water...

By no means shall they be able 
To keep their head above water, 
Nor shall their strength deliver 
Them in the Day of Troubles...

Says The Lord. 

==Revived==
 
Behold, the day and hour is close at hand, 
Yea it is very near, when the dead in Messiah 
Shall arise and the sleepers shall awake, 
When the rotting corpses are revived 
And the dust gathers together once again...

From one end of the earth to the other, 
Even from the deepest depths, shall My 
People rise up and give Me glory...

Therefore let the children of Israel prepare, 
Let everyone joined to Messiah step forward 
And claim their inheritance...

For I have but to call out your name... 

Says The Holy One of Israel. 

==The Gathering Up==
 
Behold, the Glory of God breaks through 
The clouds, a mighty trumpet blast 
Sounds in all the earth!...

From the heights of the mountains 
To the deepest depths, life bursts forth 
In the bodies of the dead!...

Behold, a loud voice is heard from Heaven: 
“EARTH, GIVE UP YOUR DEAD! 
BRIDE OF THE BLESSED, 
COME UP HERE!”...

Says The Lord. 

==In the Arms of The King==
There is a place...

A place beyond space and time, where eternity dwells and life has no end, where light takes its form and goodness is revealed, where the eyes of the redeemed may look upon the Glory of God and see His face, where Heaven meets the earth and The Eternal dwells with men... 
A place where Everlasting Love can be embraced and healing flows like a gentle stream, a place where time has no meaning and the stars flee away, where the brightness is excellent and the warmth thereof very soothing... 
A place where joy comes by knowledge with pure understanding, where fulfillment comes by a strong embrace, and love’s completion is met with great satisfaction through many tears flowing down the cheeks of the forever young; a place where understanding bursts forth in realization, revelation beyond words!... 
 

A place where the hearts of the chosen are revealed, 
Behold, they are uncovered, revealing their true form; 
The image in which I created them, restored...

A simple quiet place, set apart... 

In the arms of The King. 

==The Creator==
 
When I consider, all creation is before Me; 
From the most minute detail to the greatest, 
Nothing is hidden from My eyes...

Behold, the whole universe abides 
Within My understanding...

For I am LORD and GOD, 
Creator of Heaven and Earth. 

==The True Bride==
 
The Bride is chosen...

My blood runs through her veins, 
My image is shown upon her face...

Behold, the light of My coming is reflected 
In her eyes, for I have captured her gaze, 
And she will by no means look away 
Or seek after another...

Says The Lord. 

==Heed My Words==
 
Beloved ones, wait upon Me, with all trust and fear; stand steadfast and be patient. Accept My words, as I have spoken them and as they are written. Do not add to My words, nor take from them; neither form for yourselves any private interpretation. Only give heed to My words and also do them, and prepare. 
 

For My words are indeed that light which 
Shines in a dark place, a lamp and a beacon, 
Preparing My way before Me...

Until the new day dawns and 
The Morning Star rises, filling the hearts 
Of My chosen as they enter in...

Says The Lord. 

==Followers of The Way==
 
When those who call of 
Themselves Christian, ask you, 
“To which church do you belong?”...

You shall answer them: 
“I belong to no church named of men. 
I belong to The Lord, YahuShua HaMashiach, 
Whom you call Jesus and Christ. 
And together with all those who 
Remain in His love[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+15%3A10&version=AMP] and obey His voice[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+3%3A36&version=GNT] 
Is The Church in which I dwell”...

Says The Lord. 

==True Baptism==
 
Let My beloved first be baptized 
In spirit and in truth, filled 
With the knowledge of The Holy, 
Nourished by the Word of Truth...

Let them come to Me in sincere 
Repentance, and receive forgiveness 
Of sins in The Messiah’s name...

All burdens lifted, immersed 
And purified in the Spirit of God...

For The Holy One of Israel is 
He who baptizes with the Holy Spirit 
And with fire, and He knows His own...

Says The Lord. 

==The Beginning of Wisdom==
 
Come together and reason, O sons of men. Look upon the works of My hands, and see with new eyes and restored vision, that you may behold the Truth. 
For all the works of man are here for but a moment, then quickly pass away. And that which remains, shall it not become fuel for the fire in the Day of The Lord’s Anger? And the knowledge of man, is it not foolishness in My eyes, coming to nothing before the light of My Glory? 
 

Therefore fear The Lord your God, 
And accept the truth of who I am...

For the fear of The Lord is the beginning 
Of wisdom, and the knowledge 
Of The Holy One is understanding[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Proverbs%209%3A10&version=NKJV]...

For I am God alone. 

==Remember the Sabbath==
 
Those who remember the Sabbath honor Me, and those who rest on the Sabbath rest in Me, as they look to the Day. For I had set the seventh day apart, and sanctified it, from the beginning.[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis+2%3A3&version=NKJV] Thus it has been a sign between Me and My people, even to this day, and so shall it remain forever. 
For as I spoke to the children of Israel, saying, “Surely My Sabbaths you shall keep, for it is a sign between Me and you throughout your generations, that you may know that I am The Lord who sanctifies you,”[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Exodus+31%3A13&version=NKJV] so also do I speak to you, even to all who are grafted in. 
 

For those who obey My Commandments 
Remain in My love[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+15%3A10&version=AMP], and those who remember 
My Sabbaths keep My company, 
For The Holy One of Israel 
Dwells in the midst of them...

For I long for My children to be with Me 
Where I am, I am eager to return them 
To the Garden, that we may once again 
Walk together in the cool of the day. 
 

Therefore remember the Sabbath, and I shall remember you. Bless the Sabbath, and I shall bless you. Love one another, as I have loved you. 
Put away your works, look not to the cares of this world, and let go of your worries on the Sabbath day; spare yourselves the weight of all these troubles for just one day. 
 

Let all your thoughts dwell upon 
Your God and Savior, and consider; 
Yea, let your mind be filled with wonder 
And awe over the works of My hands...

For even The Lord your God, 
Creator of Heaven and Earth, 
Rested on the seventh day[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis+2%3A3&version=NKJV]...

Says The Lord. 

==Prepare and Watch==
 
I am indeed coming down to shake the heavens and the earth, to move all from its place; to bring forth that which was hidden and to reveal that which was misplaced[https://www.thevolumesoftruth.com/Follow_Me#:~:text=And%20of%20My%20gifts%2C%20what%20have%20you%20done%20with%20them%3F%20My%20lost%20sheep%2C%20where%20have%20you%20laid%20them%3F%20They%20lie%20next%20to%20your%20faith%2C%20which%20has%20also%20been%20misplaced.]; to open that which was shut and to shut that which was opened. 
Therefore prepare, My people, for the time has come; yes, today is the day of salvation! Go forth, beloved ones, and set all these crooked paths straight; regain the line, prepare and watch. For the leaves of the fig tree are upon its branches; summer is near![https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+24%3A32-34&version=NKJV] 
 

Again I say, watch!...

For The One who ascended 
Is about to descend...

And lo, I am come, in the Volume 
Of the Book it is written of Me, 
To accomplish The Father’s will[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm+40%3A7-8%3B+Hebrews+10%3A7&version=KJV]...

Says The Lord. 

==The First Harvest==
 
It is written, all shall lie down in death[https://www.thevolumesoftruth.com/The_Judgment_of_God_Is_True_and_Without_Question,_Yet_the_Error_of_the_People_Is_Great#:~:text=Thus%20says%20The%20Lord%3A%20The%20penalty%20of%20sin%20is%20death.%20Thus%20all%20who%20have%20sinned%20shall%20surely%20die%2C%20all%20shall%20lie%20down%20in%20death.][https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ecclesiastes+9%3A2-3&version=NIRV]... 
 
Yet there is a people who shall not sleep, 
Nor shall they lie down in death - A people who shall be awake at My coming, 
A people who have received of the divine gift, 
A people who know Me and in whom I am known, 
For I see of Myself within them.

They shall be lifted up, not preceding 
Those who have fallen asleep in Messiah; 
This is the first harvest and resurrection.

For there is but One Way, One Truth, and One Life; 
From the beginning, there is but One...

I AM HE...

Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==To All Those Who Call of Themselves Christian==
 
Listen closely 
And take My words to heart, 
All you who call of yourselves Christian: 
I ask you, do you really love Me?...

Then follow Me...

Beloved ones, listen closely 
And take My words to heart, 
All you who call of yourselves Christian: 
Do you really love Me?...

Then obey My Word! Follow Me!...

Beloved, listen closely 
And take My words to heart, 
All you who call of yourselves Christian: 
Do you really love Me?!...

Then heed My voice and come out! 
FOLLOW ME!...

Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==Bear Fruit==
 
Beloved, bear fruit after the kind I have given you, in open and in secret. For what profit is there in sharing with another that which they believe they already have? And how shall one who pushes out the hand receive a gift? 
 

Therefore, turn aside from those who 
Push out the hand and wag the head...

Rather seek out the poor, that I may feed them...

Fill the bowls of the hungry, and place 
The cup in the hands of the thirsty; 
Give them your portion...

For My bounty is plentiful, 
Given freely to all who hunger 
And thirst for righteousness...

Says The Lord. 

==The Spirit of God==
 
Beloved ones, pray to your Father in Heaven, in The Son’s name, and through the Spirit we shall be one. For all My servants move, speak and hear Me through My spirit, and only through The Son shall My children come to know Me as I truly am... And oh how blessed are those who know Him, for they love Him and obey His voice, having truly received of Him, even of His spirit, the Spirit of God. 
 

Indeed holy, holy, holy 
Is The Lord God Almighty...

One God, invisible and visible, 
The Father and The Son; 
And the Spirit called Holy, 
Because I am holy...

Says The Lord. 

==It Is Time‎‎==
 
Behold, the time has come for My name to resound in all the earth, for all who dwell upon the earth to be humbled, to be broken without hand. Indeed, now is the time for all who have ears to hear, to hear and give heed; and for those who refuse, to forbear and rebel against Me. 
 

It is time for My servants to stand up, 
To receive My words and also do them; 
It is time to blow the trumpet, to sound the alarm...

It is time for My spirit to be poured out, 
For the hand of The Almighty to stir up 
The multitudes, for The Word of God 
To separate and divide the people...

It is time for My watchmen to proclaim 
The acceptable year of The Lord and the 
Day of Vengeance of The Lord their God...

For the ears of the first election are open, 
And within My prophets I have placed 
My voice, once again; I have surely 
Put My words in their mouths...

For I am The Lord, and I do not change. 

==The Spirit of the Word==
 
Do not judge according to human standards, nor by that which is put forth by men as doctrine, for they are greatly misled. Rather study to show yourself approved unto God, a workman that need not be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of Truth.[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2%20Timothy%202%3A15&version=KJV] For discernment with fear is righteousness. 
 

Therefore, beloved, remember: 
The spirit of the Word, and not the letter, 
Is the way, the truth and the life...

For The Messiah is indeed coming quickly, 
To baptize all in fire and glory...

Those of a wicked heart, in fire...

And those of the Spirit, 
In glory, forever and ever!...

Says The Lord. 

==Inheritance‎‎==
 
Behold, My people are afflicted, 
And My faithful ones are persecuted, 
Imprisoned and put to death! 
My little ones are brought to harm, 
And the innocent are murdered in droves, 
CAST OFF AS REFUSE!...

Therefore the afflicted shall be 
Given wealth beyond imagining, 
And the meek shall inherit the earth; 
The little ones shall be taken, 
And the innocent shall return home...

And they shall be My sons and daughters, 
Forever, life without end...

Says The Lord. 

==Restoration==
 
I AM THE RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE!...

And all who believe in Me shall not die, but live, 
For I shall raise them up at the Last Day!...

No more tears, no more death, no more pain, 
For the old order of things has passed away; 
All things restored in glory, the glory of everlasting life!...

I AM RISEN! YOUR REDEEMER LIVES!... 

Says The Holy One of Israel. 

==Call Upon The Name==
 
The wicked shall surely fall by the word of their own mouth, and by their works shall they stumble into the pit; behold, by their every word and deed have they condemned themselves to death. 
 

Yet if these same ones turn from their 
Iniquity, and call upon Me in the name 
Of The Messiah, they shall live and not die; 
They shall surely be delivered!...

For they have called upon The Name, 
The only name under Heaven 
By which you must be saved...

For He is called Jesus and Christ...

His name: YAHUSHUA HAMASHIACH, 
Both Lord and Savior of men...

Says YAHUWAH. 

==All Shall Be Fulfilled==
 
As I have commanded it, so shall it be done. As I have spoken it, so shall it come to pass. As I have purposed it, so shall it be accomplished. For My glory, all shall be fulfilled. 
Thus that which I have spoken by My prophets shall surely be. And though they stumble, they shall by no means fall, for they do continually humble themselves before Me. 
 

Therefore, blessed is the man who comes 
To Me ashamed of his trespasses, whose heart 
Is full of grief on account of his sins, 
For I am faithful to forgive his sins...

Indeed I shall lift him up, 
And set his feet upon hallowed ground...

Says The Lord. 

==Daily Bread==
 
Understand the Word of My mouth and that which is set before you, even upon each of your plates: I have bore you, even twice have you come forth - First by water and blood in the flesh, and a second time in the Spirit, yea even a third time when you shall come into glory. 
And behold, that which is first sown in your hearts is The Living Word. And that which grows from Me bears fruit, according to the food and drink I provide, the written Word. Therefore both are necessary, yet one must be first. 
 

Yet understand this: 
One who is awakened can not remain so, 
Unless they receive of Me and also 
Eat of that which I provide...

Therefore abide in Me, 
And partake daily of My supper...

Says The Lord. 

==True Knowledge==
 
Who among you has committed no murder, whether in heart or in action? Who among you has committed no adultery, whether in heart or in action? Who among you, O peoples of the earth, has committed no sin?! 
Behold, all have fallen short of the Glory of God, all have failed utterly in their attempts to gain righteousness; even the works of the most righteous among you are but filthy rags before Me. And for this reason did I come into the world, manifest in the flesh, to bear the full weight of the sin of this world - Immanu El. 
 

Therefore get wisdom, get understanding, 
And seek My face in sincerity and in truth...

Humble yourselves, 
That you may receive true knowledge, 
That you may come to know Me as I truly am...

Says The Lord. 

==One Fold==
 
Where does a shepherd spend his time, and which of his sheep require the most attention? Therefore pray in like manner. For indeed the ill of the flock require the most attention, and the one in ninety-nine who has gone astray shall by no means be forsaken. 
And though there are many who stand inside locked gates, while you stand outside, do you not remain all of one fold? And when I have freed them, will you not all rejoice together? Therefore treat them as such, and pray for them, even double, and it shall be well with you. For those who arrive last shall be embraced by those who had arrived first. 
 

Therefore let your heart remember, 
As you look to the day...

Says The Lord. 

==Mercy==
 
Hear and understand the loving mercies of God fulfilled in Me, even of those bitter tears which I have shed over all these who deny Me, over all these who betray Me by all they say and do: Beloved, in My anger I have indeed cast them out, appointing others to run in their stead. Yet I tell you the truth, though they now abide as one sitting along the wayside, they are in no wise broken off. For our bond is love, and any bond forged in My love can never be broken. 
 

Behold, even amongst My flock 
Have I received many kisses 
After the kind of My son, Judas...

Yet I tell you the truth, I have 
Never lost one who is Mine; 
I am in love with My own...

And though their thoughts betray 
Them, having given heed to many lies 
And deceptions from within and without, 
I know My own, and I will never turn 
Away anyone who returns to Me...

Says The Lord. 

==Peace==
 
My sons and daughters, from the beginning, I AM WHO I AM and shall be. Even to the end, I AM HE. From everlasting to everlasting, I AM. In this shall you find rest and know peace, says The Lord. 
Therefore no longer bind yourselves to what you see, nor concern yourselves with the things of this world and its evil ways. Free yourselves by the knowledge I have given you, by the understanding that I AM WHO I AM, freedom in the knowing I AM HE. 
 

Beloved ones, I have defeated the world, 
I have overcome your sins; 
Death is put to death because of Me...

Behold, I am risen, death is turned backward...

Only life is and shall be...

Says The Lord. 

==Refuge==
 
Beloved, there is but One Refuge, 
Only One Way to be found...

In Mashiach ONLY shall you find 
Refuge from all these troubles; 
Through Him ONLY have I opened The Way...

Therefore, My people, call upon the name 
Of The Lord in your darkest hour!...

For it is time for the name of mercy 
And pure righteousness to be glorified! 
It is time for God’s Salvation to be revealed 
To the first election, for the supplications 
Of His people to be fulfilled to the fullest!...

LET THEM BE DELIVERED!...

Says The Lord. 

==The Power of My Love==
 
How long shall the multitudes swear by things made, and place their trust in the works of man?! For the desolate know not the things of God, nor is darkness able to understand; yea, the wicked gnash upon their teeth, the whole body convulses in the wake of mourning, for there is no rest. 
 

Yet My hand caresses the cheeks of the hopeless, 
As we watch the dawning of the day together...

For the strength of My arm uplifts the downtrodden, 
My strong embrace heals the sorrowful, 
Every beat of My heart revives the dead, 
And the sound of My voice frees every captive...

Behold, the power of My love hides them away!... 

Says The Lord. 

==The Will of God==
 
Nothing, nothing in all creation, 
Can usurp the will of The Most High God! 
Nor shall any run out ahead of Me...

MY will shall be done on earth as it is in Heaven...

For it is purposed and can not be moved, 
Having been written in everlasting stone 
From the very foundation of the world...

I AM THE LORD. 

==Made For The Son==
 
You are and were created in fragile flesh, 
Beautifully crafted by the hand of your Father, 
Having been made alive in The Son...

In His image you are and were created, 
In love I created you, placing you 
In the garden to My own joy...

My own beloved who have received of My breath... 

Created by The Father, made for The Son... 

Says The Lord. 

==Across All Boundaries==
 
That atoned for by My blood 
Is far-reaching, even across all boundaries, 
Life and death, time and space...

For even those before Me were after Me, 
And knew The Father, who knowing Him 
Knew and saw the time of My coming, 
Having repented before The Father 
In His name, which is also My name, 
The name We shared before the world was made...

Thus by the heart is one judged, 
Of which I know, for nothing is hidden before Me; 
I made you and know you, having always known you; 
Even those who will yet come to Me, I see and know...

For I see you as you are and will be, 
With Me where I am...

Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==The Way Is Provided==
 
Come now and share in My joy, 
Abide in My love, enter into My rest...

For The Way is provided, The Lamb sacrificed, 
My own beating heart stilled in death, 
My own blood poured out 
So you may return to Me...

The curtain is torn; the way is open! 
Approach and draw near to Me; hear Me calling!...

For The Ladder of Heaven is joined to earth, 
Glorified and named above all names!...

Says The Lord. 

==The Tame of My Flock==
 
All who truly receive of Me know Me, and I live in them. And if I live in them, then in no wise will these turn away. For one who abides in My love shall never leave it. 
For they have tasted of the divine gift and have looked upon My glory. They will not depart from Me, but rest securely at My right hand. These are My sheep, the tame of My flock. They call out and I do hear them, even as I had called to them and they did hear. 
 

All My sheep hear My voice 
And know the sound of My voice, 
And seek to follow Me wheresoever I lead them...

Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==For My Own Name’s Sake==
 
Behold, My own people go the way 
Of the ungodly, following after those void 
Of the Spirit, married to this world!...

Yet I shall save them out of all their troubles; 
For My own name’s sake will I do it...

For the sake of Judah, I shall cover them; 
For the sake of Jacob, I shall hold them in safety; 
And for the sake of David, My servant, I shall 
Shelter them under the shadow of My wings...

Says The Lord. 

==Keeping The Law==
 
Say no more, “Grace versus The Law.” 
Say rather, “Grace AND The Law”...

For Grace is the fulfillment of The Law; 
And where there is an absence of grace, 
There is lawlessness...

Therefore, keeping The Law 
Is a reflection of My own spirit in you...

And oh how blessed are those who have 
Received of Grace, and seek to please The Father 
By obeying His Law, and teach men so...

Grace AND The Law... 

Says The Lord. 

==Nothing Is Hidden Before Me==
 
Nothing exists outside of Me, says The Lord; neither does anything continue outside My will. For even the evil of this present world is set within the confines of My will. For evil acts and brings forth of its own, yet is unaware that nothing is hidden before Me; neither has anything come to pass, nor will be, that I have not already beheld. And this, O arrogant and deceived generation, is why I said, “All was written and completed, even before the foundation of the world.” 
 

For I am God, THE GOD!
 The God of Abraham, The God of Isaac, The God of Jacob, The God of all!...

Even of all that is known and unknown, 
The Creator of all things...

The Everlasting, who is from 
Everlasting to everlasting...

I AM. 

==Not By Human Means==
 
What I have prepared can not be seen 
With the eyes, nor can it be attained 
By human means or mere proclamation...

Yet within the hearts of My own 
It is clearly seen, and upon the lips 
Of My bride the testimony is clearly heard...

For that which has entered into the hearts 
Of the chosen shall soon be realized, 
And that which has entered into the hearts 
Of the wicked shall return upon their own heads...

For hate brings forth suffering and violence...

Yet the love of The Messiah brings salvation, 
Escape under the shadow of His healing wings!...

Says The Lord. 

==According to the Number==
 
I am The Lord...

And though I bruise, I will surely heal; 
And though I pour out strong judgment, 
I will also show mercy...

For all appointed to captivity shall go into captivity, 
Yet I will deliver them, even all who call on the 
Name of The Lord in that day...

And though many will be brought low, 
Even down to the depths of darkness and despair, 
Behold, from the depths I shall raise 
Them up, even high above the heavens; 
Even from the ashes shall I bring them forth, 
And they shall give Me perfect praise in the 
Tabernacle of My glory!...

And so it is fulfilled, and shall also come to pass: 
The first shall be last, and the last 
Shall be first partakers of the glory; 
Yet all will be saved according 
To the number The Lord shall call...

Says The Lord. 

==The Bride==
 
The true bride is chosen; 
She has been called out and shall be lifted up!...

Behold, I will come for her and she will be taken, 
Caught up to My Father’s house for one week 
In The Lord, and we shall be together forever...

All tears wiped away...

Even every tear she shed on the behalf of others; 
Every tear she shed for the afflicted and the unborn; 
Every tear she shed over all this evil, 
On account of all this oppression and death...

Even every tear she shed in repentance, 
In seeking after her Bridegroom...

Says The Lord. 

==Reverence==
Peoples of the earth, do you know Me? Do you really know who I am? I am Elohim. YAHUSHUA-YAHUWAH is My name, both God and Savior. For in The Son does the fullness of The Father dwell...

Yet I ask you, who among the nations fears Me? Who among this modern generation, among all these multitudes of perverse and vile people, revere My name? Who, among this great multitude, trembles in fear at the coming of The Lord?! And who among the mighty shall be able to stand, when the wrath of God is revealed from Heaven?! 
 

Therefore repent, and establish My way before Me, 
Says The Lord God, and I shall also establish you...

For I am The Lord, and I shall 
Establish justice in all the earth. 

==Indwelt==
 
Who has given heed to the voice 
Of The Lord their God? 
Who has come out to meet Me?...

Behold, the lowly have come out, 
The poor in spirit have come forth, 
The broken have sought Me and 
The faithful uphold My cause...

Yes, these who carry The Messiah 
Within them have come forward to 
Partake of My supper, and do follow 
The Lamb wheresoever He leads them...

And behold, the day is near when He shall 
Call out to His beloved, and all those who 
Have ears to hear will be lifted up; 
They shall surely be gone from this place!...

Says The Lord. 

==Blessed Be The Name==
 
Behold, My name alone stands throughout 
The generations, a perpetual covering for My people, 
A secure place of shelter for all those who seek My face, 
A tower of strength for all who take refuge in Me... 
 
From everlasting, I AM, and to everlasting shall I be, 
The same and unchanging, even as My name...

For I AM WHO I AM...

YAHUWAH, The One who causes to be; 
YAHUSHUA, He by whom all things 
Consist and have life...

Thus My name is one, even as 
The Father and The Son are one, 
A just God and a Savior - ONE...

Says The Lord. 

==The Holy Days‎‎==
 
The significance of The Holy Days is found 
In their meaning and revealed by their order...

Even as all find their fulfillment in The Messiah 
And their completion in the coming of The Lord...

Says The Lord. 

==Set Apart==
 
Beloved, stand apart from 
This world in word and by deed; 
Take your every thought captive 
That you may be fully set apart...

Reveal your love for Me by all you say 
And do; put your love on open display!...

Rest in Me on the Sabbath Day 
And receive My blessing; 
Honor My Holy Days and remember, 
That you may also understand; 
Hold fast to The Holy Covenant, 
And no longer depart from 
The Word of My Commandment...

Says The Lord. 

==Beloved, Awake==
 
Beloved, awake! Awake from your slumber! 
Awaken your hearts to The Majesty on High! 
Embrace the full revelation of 
WHO I AM, of all I have done!...

For the Word of The Lord 
Flows like water, My love runs pure...

Therefore embrace My words and receive 
Of My love, that you may be filled with My spirit, 
To the bearing of much fruit in The Beloved...

Says The Lord. 

==Penitent==
 
It is the penitent man who shall know God, 
And penitent you must be; die to yourselves daily...

Cast off the skin of this world and walk with 
Me as I am, and not as you would have Me be...

Beloved, cast off your sins, depart quickly from 
Temptation, and to the accuser turn a deaf ear; 
For I tell you the truth, evil has lost 
Its grip on the redeemed...

Therefore hear My words, and also do them; 
Give heed to My speech, and embrace 
All I have given you...

Drink deeply from this cup, 
And be created anew... 

Says The Lord your Redeemer. 

==The God of Justice==
 
I am The Lord...

I know what is most needful, 
I alone do what is right...

And though I afflict, I will also heal; 
And though I strike the people in My wrath, 
I will also bind up their wounds...

Behold, I shall bring the kingdoms 
Of men to utter ruin, and make 
The face of the earth a desolation; 
For I AM HE who shall create new heavens 
And a new earth, in which justice shall 
Run down like water and righteousness 
Like an ever-flowing stream...

For as I have spoken, so I speak; 
As I am, so shall I be...

Says The King of Power and Glory, 
The Only Lord of Hosts, The Holy One of Israel. 

==Spare the Rod==
 
You have heard it said, to spare the rod is to hate your child. This Scripture is true. Yet I tell you the truth, the rod is discipline, and not that of physical punishment. 
O vain and ignorant people, stop perverting the Scriptures of Truth! Humble yourselves, that you may gain wisdom. A child’s disobedience is brought forth from a troubled heart and an unsettled spirit, wrought in ignorance. How then shall a beating correct the heart, or striking them with a rod bring about a right spirit? 
 

Beloved, do not exasperate your children 
By bringing them into subjection by abuse...

Rather take them by the hand, and lead 
Them in the ways of The Lord, with love...

For the love of a father is displayed in 
Tenderness and kindness, and is also 
Revealed through the correction and 
Discipline of those he loves...

Says The Lord. 

==The Seed and The Sower==
 
Beloved, you must ask yourselves, “Where have all these seeds been sown? Have they taken root? Or are they choked by the multitude of weeds which have sprung up?” Beware, for the birds gather, and wait eagerly to devour all seeds which have fallen by the wayside. 
 

Thus only that which is first shall bear fruit; 
For that which is foremost bears fruit 
According to the Seed and 
The One who has sown it...

Yet that which is put first by men, which is 
Not of the Seed nor of The Sower, must die; 
It must be uprooted and cast into the fire...

Says The Lord. 

==True Forgiveness‎‎==
 
Begin again in Me, says The Lord, for I have not left you. Behold, I am with you, even to the end of this age.

Beloved, you are forgiven. And in true forgiveness, there is no remembrance of past offenses; behold, even your sins of tomorrow are washed away. Therefore fix your gaze upon Me, focus not on your sin; give temptation no power, and to the accuser turn a deaf ear. 
 

Indeed, come all who struggle and are 
Heavy-laden, and I will give you rest...

Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, 
For I am gentle and lowly in heart, 
And in Me you will find rest for your souls...

For My yoke is easy, and My burden light,[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+11%3A28-30&version=NKJV] 
For all those who trust in Me...

Says The Lord. 

==The Fear of The Lord==
 
It is written: The fear of The Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of The Holy One is understanding.[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Proverbs%209%3A10&version=NKJV] 
Therefore all else is vanity, a false way, leading to great vexation of spirit. For I AM THE LORD. From the beginning it was I who had done it; even to the end shall I perform it; and behold, all is fulfilled according to My will. 
 

Therefore to fear The Lord your God 
Is indeed the beginning of wisdom...

For how can one know Me, 
Unless they first acknowledge Me? 
And how can one fear Me, unless they 
Believe, I AM WHO I AM?...

He who causes to be, 
He who called all things into existence, 
The Creator of Heaven and Earth...

Says The Lord. 

==The Living Bread==
 
Have I not provided a bounty? Have I not poured out and sent forth the call? Therefore let those who have come out abide in Me until the time, and eat also of this bread. For I shall be with them, yes, even I Myself shall be with them, close at hand, and they shall fellowship with Me in the secret place. They have all they need. 
Yet let those who reject Me and My Word, even this blessing which I have given to this generation, walk through dry places. For I have left them desolate. And so they must walk, they must tread the path they have chosen, until the time be changed, until they are broken without hand. I AM THE LORD. 
 

Therefore, again I say, 
To all those who have ears to hear: 
Seek not the table, but He who sits at it...

Says The Lord. 

==Walk In Me==
 
There are none like Me, beloved, nor has there ever been one whose love surpasses understanding, a love without end. For I had paid the ransom from the beginning, a dowry the likes of which has never been seen, a bride-price from The God of Heaven. 
Beloved, I stretched out My hands for you; I bore the weight of your sins, I carried your burdens! Therefore is My grace sufficient for you. Yet you must choose to stand up and walk in Me, relying on My strength in your times of weakness, by which My strength and your trust is made perfect. 
Have I not said, “In obedience is your love made perfect,” and, “Who you choose, not what you choose, is the answer”? And when you have chosen Me, is it not also your reasonable service to walk in Me? 
 

Therefore, again I say, choose...

For I am The Only Way, 
The Only Truth, The Only Life...

Says The Lord. 

==Service and Sacrifice==
 
I tell you the truth, ALL who forsake the poor and the needy, and the fatherless and the widow, do not know Me, and have no place with Me at My supper, until they become as those they have forsaken. For by no other means will they learn true compassion.

 

Beloved, to drink My blood is 
To receive of Me...

To give up everything is to walk in Me...

To suffer is to know Me...

And to die for another is to know 
The depths of My love. 
 

Yet I do not ask you to die for another, only that you push through - that you shatter all this stained glass with which you surround yourselves; that you be broken in pieces and truly become My disciples; that you love one another, even all those I send to you; that you surrender your lives and be created anew, trusting in Me to supply all that is needful... Trust which comes by service and sacrifice, says The Lord. 

==According to My Will and Purpose==
 
Beloved ones, all My sheep hear My voice. Yet each receives in proportion to their faith and in accordance with My will and purpose. For a willing, humble heart is open to Me, and one who is deeply in love with Me will hear My voice. Yet this is not equal, nor shall every servant hear My voice in the same way. 
For a prophet hears My voice, while another is moved deep within, while still others may only discern My leading, and this also is according to My will and purpose. 
 

And that which I do has a perfect work 
Within the hearts of My beloved, coming to 
Fruition in those who remain in My love...

Those meet for The Master’s use... 

Says The Lord. 

==In Open and In Secret==
 
Beloved, speak not one word concerning those who have hurt you, not one more word against those who have betrayed you. Forgive them, pray for them, and let them go their way. Beloved, love your enemies and pray for those who betray you, and double for those who fight against you, for they have lifted up their heel against Me. Let resentment pass from your heart, and no more let your tongue cause you to stumble on their account. For each is accountable for their own heart and that which flows from it, even to every idle word. 
 

Beloved, be My examples...

Order your speech like David, 
And conduct yourselves as Daniel...

Let your speech express your love for Me 
In every situation, and let your conduct reveal 
My spirit in you, in open and in secret...

Beloved, prepare as though I were 
Coming to take you this very day; 
Walk with Me as though we walk 
Together in the Garden already...

Says The Lord. 

==Doers of the Word==
 
In repentance I am always well pleased...

Therefore let the penitent now turn fully to God, 
And do works meet for repentance...

Let them no more be as the hypocrite, 
But let them walk close behind Me, 
Abiding in the shadow of The Almighty...

And what more shall I speak than 
That which I have spoken already?...

Therefore believe My words, and also do them... 

Says The Lord. 

==A True Disciple==
 
The power of My strength shall be 
Fulfilled in My servant’s weakness, 
In accordance with their love and faithfulness, 
And by their willingness to lay down their life, 
That they might receive of My life...

A man in desperate thirst who refuses every cup 
From men, yet gladly drinks from Mine...

A man whose hunger has brought forth 
Within him a great void, which can not 
Be filled by any earthly bread...

A man who strives to live by every word 
That proceeds from the mouth of God...

A man who carries Me within him, bearing the 
Scars of My Passion in his heart, always...

Says The Lord. 

==Serve Me As I Have Loved You==
 
From this field I have called a select few, to be My examples; not according to their own righteousness, nor by their own strength or intellect, but according to My Word and by My spirit which dwells within them. These have forsaken everything for the sake of their Shepherd. They follow Me wheresoever I go. They listen to My voice and heed the call, and will by no means follow another. 
 

Therefore, you also shall strive to be My examples... 

Beloved ones, serve Me as I have loved you...

And remember, whatsoever you do 
For another, you have done it for Me; 
And whatsoever you do to another, 
Whether in goodness or in malice, 
You have done it also to Me...

Says The Lord. 

==The Narrow Way==
 
I have indeed bestowed upon this generation a multitude of gifts, a great number of words, words of warning and unsurpassed wisdom, words of exaltation and correction, calling all in the earth to repent. 
Lo, I have expounded many words of unending love, with great passion, revealing My Mercy which endures forever. Behold, I have proclaimed the way of salvation, time and time again, and He whose name is The Salvation of God! Yes, I have blown the trumpet and called forth My watchmen, I have struck the gates and rattled the doors, I have shaken the foundations of the earth! And still the people hold fast, clutching the pillars and shoring up the doors against Me! 
 

Yet from the beginning I established the line, 
A narrow way which I had placed in the 
Midst of My people, Israel...

And in My mercy, I revealed The Way 
In which My people should walk...

Behold, even now I have placed a 
Plumb line in the midst of all people, 
Setting all these crooked paths straight...

For I am The Lord, and I do not change. 

==The Perfect Sacrifice==
 
Behold, I had come to you as a man, 
Clothed in the flesh, humble, My glory set aside; 
God become man, Immanu El...

Living as all have lived in the body, 
Yet not as man lives in the spirit; 
For I am clean, having no sin in My body, 
Nor in My spirit, having obeyed every 
Command of The Father - blameless...

The Lamb of God without spot or blemish, 
Sent to die for the sins of the world, 
Bearing the full weight of 
Transgression in My own body...

The perfect sacrifice, acceptable to God, 
Whereby all men are reconciled to The Father, 
If they so choose to receive of The Free Gift 
And walk in My ways...

Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==The Victory==
 
All those who repent in My name, with 
Sincere remorse in their hearts, are saved...

For I am The One who makes it 
Possible for them to do so...

And though some have fallen asleep in death, 
And others are slain, even by their own hand, 
I ask you, shall death have the last word?...

BY NO MEANS! 
For I shall raise them up at the Last Day!...

For I have granted them the victory, even as 
I am The Victory, being The Firstfruits from death...

Even as those given Me shall likewise be first 
When the shout is made...

Says The Lord. 

==Search Not in the World‎‎==
 
My grace descends upon all who repent in sincerity and in truth, and My spirit dwells within those who keep The Commandments and testify to My glory. Therefore, receive of Me; then will that which you seek become clear. For your heart’s true desire can not be found in the world... Seek God!

 Again I say to you, search not in the world, 
For there you will not find Me; 
Nor seek Me in the churches of men, 
For there you will not find Me...

For I tell you the truth, 
The Kingdom of God is within you...

Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==Ingress==
 
Beloved ones, give your attention to those things I have set before you, obey all My commands, and consider that which I require of you... Trust in Me. 
Run not ahead, nor lag behind, but grow wise in My ways. Keep your eyes fixed upon Me, and be keenly aware of My goings out and comings in... Follow Me. 
 

Yet remember this...

The state of your heart 
Dictates how much you receive, 
And your obedience decides the ingress...

Your willingness sets the pace, and the strength 
Of your grip will keep you from falling...

Says The Lord. 

==The Commandments==
 
In My love, I laid for you an everlasting 
Foundation upon which you were to stand...

And in My mercy I constructed high walls, 
Made with the finest stone, to protect you, 
Even from yourselves...

Engraven stones, 
Touched by the finger of God...

Says The Lord. 

==My Spirit Dwells in My Own==
 
Beloved ones, I tell you the truth, the people of this world do not know Me. Therefore I have come close, to unstop the ears of all who long to hear My voice and obey it; I have drawn near, to open the eyes of all who desire to look upon My face and partake of My glory; and behold, I have poured out My spirit to restore the hearts of the penitent, to breathe new life into all those who embrace My words and seek to remain in My love. 
 

For I am come[https://www.thevolumesoftruth.com/I_AM_COME], and have come already; 
And behold, I shall also return 
And reveal My glory...

I have not departed from My people, 
For My spirit dwells in My own... 

Yet all must be broken... 

Some broken before the time, 
And many more after... 

Says The Lord. 

==Restored==
 
Once you were lost, yet now you are found...

Once you were naked, yet now you are clothed 
In fine linens of white, your filthy rags cast off forever...

Once you were hungry and very thirsty, starving 
In a world of empty promises, lies and vain deceits, 
Yet now you are nourished with The Word of Truth...

Once you were sick, mortally ill, 
Yet now you are healed in Me, now you are 
Restored because of Me - My body, My bride...

My precious flower, My pleasant plant, of which 
I shall pluck from the earth at the time appointed, 
Replanted in the Garden at dawn on the new day...

Therefore come forth, all My people, 
And flourish in the light of The Lord, 
And bear much fruit in The Beloved!...

Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==A Spear and a Sword==
 
My every Letter is a spear with which I 
Shall pierce the heart of this people...

Every Volume a sword by which I 
Shall divide them asunder...

A rod and a staff for those who believe... 

I AM THE LORD. 

==Contentions==
 
Answer not the obstinate, nor strive 
With those who reject My words...

Give no occasion to the adversary, 
Nor give the mocker a voice; 
Give the scoffer no consideration at all; 
Let them eat silence...

Rather pray for your adversaries...

For they do not fight against you, 
They contend with Me...

Says The Lord. 

==Labor of Love==
 
Beloved ones, treat those of My body as you wish to be treated. Consider not what tomorrow may bring, nor dwell on that which has passed; embrace them as they are in this moment. For the one who stands in front of you is the person they are today. For who they were yesterday has passed away, and the person they will become tomorrow is not yet revealed. For you know not what tomorrow will bring, nor do you truly know that which has passed. You know neither the heart nor the mind, nor are you able to search the thoughts or look upon the innermost intentions. 
Therefore, treat all My beloved as you would treat Me. Embrace your brothers and sisters in Messiah as you would embrace Me, walking with Me as I am and not as you would have Me be. For it is written: According to the judgment with which you judge shall you be judged, and with the measure you use shall it be measured back to you.[https://www.biblegateway.com/verse/en/Matthew%207%3A2] 
 

Yet the servant who walks with Me 
Moment by moment, treating their 
Brother or sister as they wish to be treated, 
Shall walk free, unhindered...

Their every reasonable service 
Becoming a labor of love...

Says The Lord. 

==Do Not Judge==
 
It is written: Do not speak evil of one another. For whoever speaks evil of a brother, or judges a brother, speaks evil of The Law and judges The Law. But if you judge The Law, you are not a doer of what The Law says, but a judge.[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=James%204%3A11&version=NKJV] 
 

In the same way, one who speaks evil 
Of My messenger and judges My prophet 
Speaks evil of Me and judges the Word...

And one who judges the Word will 
By no means obey it, but have set 
Themselves up as an authority, a judge, 
Held captive by their own evil thoughts. 
 

Again, one who refuses My messenger can by no means receive My message, and one who judges him has blinded themselves to the Truth. For there is none righteous, no, not one. Yet The One who sent the message is true. Thus the one who delivers My Word must also be its recipient, or how shall I send him? And all those who judge can do nothing and shall receive nothing; even that which they have shall be taken away, says The Lord. 

==Spiritual Warriors==
 
What is man? He is but flesh, his power of no use at all. And in his pride he seeks glory for himself, a false valor. And so he continually turns to his own devices, deceiving himself, thinking he stands though he has fallen. 
Foolhardy, he rushes into battle where he suffers injury after injury, ignoring his wounds, wounds which remain unhealed, infecting the whole of the body. Yet he continues on in his arrogance, his pride driving him forward, unable to see that he is cast down, saying within himself, “Look at my accomplishments, look upon all I have done!” And all the while satan laughs, saying, “Behold my acolytes; see how these men of battle have become like me.” 
 

Sons and daughters of men, you are no warriors...

You are casualties, spoils of a war 
Which was won from the foundation 
Of the world, of which I was also slain...

For I alone bear the scars of battle...

Lo, I bear them in My hands and My feet, 
Upon My back and in My side, wounds which I 
Received in the house of My friends...

Says The Lord. 

==An Ensign to All Nations==
 
Let the Trumpet be blown loudly! 
Let the call to repentance go out 
And the announcement be made!...

For I have lifted up an ensign to all nations, 
I have set up a standard for this sleeping generation...

A bright and shining lamppost for My people...

A light, the glory of which shall not be diminished, 
But shall only increase by measure...

Says The Lord. 

==Pure Works==
 
Beloved ones, worship Me as I am and not as you would have Me be! Obey MY voice! Depart from every form of evil and tear down every whitewashed wall of abomination! 
Again, I say, be separate and come out from among them, and repent! Return to Me, in spirit and in truth, and in the day I stretch out My hand against the inhabitants of the earth, you shall surely be gone from this place. 
My beloved servants, share your gifts: Lift up the poor and help the needy, give drink to the thirsty and feed the hungry, share My love and wash each other’s feet. Yet no longer be a friend of this world, and no more walk in the ways of the churches of men, for they have not known Me. 
 

Be set apart! Rejoice and give thanks!...

Honor The Messiah in spirit and in truth, 
And walk closely in His example; 
Testify of Him, from His birth to His passion; 
Glorify His name in all the earth!...

For HE is the true gift... 

Says The Lord. 

==Escape==
 
Embrace My words, obey that which I have 
Spoken to this generation, and you shall surely 
Escape all these things which I am about to do.

For as it was in the days of Lot, when I brought 
Him out of the city, so likewise shall I deliver 
My people in the Day of Wrath.

For those in whom The Messiah 
Dwells must be taken out of the way; 
Then shall I judge the earth and strike the nations.

For I do not change... 

Says The Lord. 

==The Wrath of God==
 
Beloved ones, come to Me, and I shall give you rest; 
Be drawn to Me, that I may lift you up.

For I tell you the truth, My wrath is coming; 
Behold, My anger is aroused, My fierce 
Jealousy burns like a raging fire 
And is about to come to the full.

Yet do not waver, but understand.

For My wrath is required, and the foundation 
Of My anger rests solidly upon My jealousy, 
By which My unending sorrow is also revealed.

For My wrath is born of sorrow, 
And My anger bursts forth as a husband 
Jealous over his bride, My fury as a father 
Protecting his children, as one mighty 
In battle breaking through the lines...

Says The Lord. 

==A Dry Tree==
 
What is a dry tree to he who holds the axe?

Yet when the winds pass through and catch 
The man sleeping, is he not easily 
Crushed by the weight of the tree?

Indeed, what is this forest full of tall trees 
Before Me, standing so tall with roots deeply 
Embedded in the world, blocking always the warmth 
Of the sun at eventide, casting long shadows 
Under which the wicked flock?

Are they not soon left cold, standing in darkness?

Are they not as those who seek shelter under a tree 
When the rains descend and the thunder crashes, 
Who meet a quick end when lightning strikes?...

Says The Lord. 

==The Plight of the Ungodly==
 
The words of scoffers come forth 
From a hard and troubled heart, 
From a place void of understanding.

Their words are like chaff, their every lofty 
Assertion dust, carried away by the wind.

As a ship tossed about by rough seas, 
So is the plight of the ungodly; 
In a dark sea of confusion, they attempt 
To sail against every wind of doctrine 
Which opposes them.

Yet all their toil is in vain...

For I am The Only Truth! I am God alone! 

==Indomitable==
 
Behold, all I have spoken 
Is established and shall be; 
My Word yields to no man.

For My words are poured out like rain, 
And My voice shakes the house like thunder, 
My every word a hailstone released from 
The treasury of hail, which I have 
Reserved for the Time of Trouble.

Behold, My wrath is a consuming fire, 
A mighty earthquake, encompassing 
The breadth of the whole earth!...

Says The Lord. 

==The Weeping Willow==
 
What is the high branch of the palm tree 
To that of the weeping willow? 
For they know not each other’s place.

Each bears seed after its own kind, 
Yet the ground beneath remains unyielding. 
And without the rain, the leaf fades 
And the seed flees back into the dust 
Of the ground, unable to rise again.

Therefore are they cut down as the cedars; 
They are broken and they are toppled when 
Calamity comes to claim them, washed away.

And who will mourn their passing or 
Search out their seed, that they might 
Be revived in another place?...

Says The Lord. 

==Cast Down==
 
Is My Word in need of confirmation by those who say they know Me, yet do not really know Me? Is the Word of My mouth subject to men, whose understanding remains altogether lacking, whose knowledge is corrupt and whose power is of no use at all? 
Shall My words be made subject to the approval of any self- appointed apostle, prophet or teacher? Shall flesh usurp the things of God? Can mortal man ascend above the throne of The Eternal? Shall the created rule over The Creator, or the corrupt sit as judge over The Holy? Shall any attempt to occupy My throne and not be cast down?! 
 

Thus the highly esteemed shall be abandoned, 
And the self-appointed severely abased...

Left to walk through the valley in the 
Great and Terrible Day of The Lord, 
Until death comes to claim them...

Declares The Lord. 

==The Doctrines of Men==
 
The doctrines of men are a 
Loathsome spot on every garment 
Worn in the name of truth!...

A detestable wrinkle within 
The tapestry of My glory!...

A horrible interwoven thread by 
Which those who call of themselves 
Christian pollute My name and mar 
My image before the people...

Says The Lord. 

==My Hand Is Removed==
 
The penitent wait and 
Bow down in thanksgiving.

Yet the arrogant and false righteous 
Stand up proudly, declaring their 
Deliverance, a deliverance which has 
Already passed and shall not come.

For My hand is removed 
And My spirit taken.[https://answersonlygodcangive.com/The_One_Who_Stays,_Lets]

For only those in whom I see of Myself 
Shall escape, and only those caught 
In My embrace shall fly away...

Says The Lord. 

==I Am God of the Living==
 
There is a people who sleep and a flesh which has no life in it, there are many who have been lost to the depths, a great multitude who have returned to the dust of the earth and can not be found. Yet The Lord God knows their names and their dwelling places; not one has passed from My sight, not one has been given up to the void. 
 

Behold, the day and hour is close at hand, 
Yea it is very near, when the dead in Messiah 
Shall arise and the sleepers shall awake, 
When the rotting corpses are revived 
And the dust gathers together once again...

From one end of the earth to the other, 
Even from the deepest depths, shall My people 
Rise up and give Me glory!...

Therefore let the children of Israel prepare, 
Let everyone joined to Messiah step forward 
And claim their inheritance...

For I have but to call out your name!.... 
 
For I am God of the living, 
The One alone worthy of all praise...

Says The Holy One of Israel. 

==The Indignation of The Lord==
 
My anger is kindled and 
Burns in the heat of My wrath; 
My indignation has come to the full 
And must be poured out!...

Like a dark storm building upon 
The horizon brings foreboding, 
As a great torrent inundates a city and 
Running waters quickly overtake a town...

Like fierce waves beat back the shore 
Or a raging sea capsizes a ship, 
As the power of the great whirlwind 
Causes widespread devastation...

So shall the indignation of The Lord be!...

Says The Lord. 

==A Broadsword==
 
The name of The Lord of Hosts is a broadsword, 
And My every word a freshly sharpened blade! 
For in My name is great power, and at the sound 
Of My name all darkness flees away!

For as a razor removes the stubble, 
And fervent heat burns away the dross, 
So shall My name purge the waste places 
And cleanse the polluted cities...

Until all these squawking birds are brought 
Down into silence and every tall tower 
Is toppled and left in ruins!...

Until Babel is utterly destroyed and every 
Last vestige of man’s invention is wiped 
From the face of the earth!...

Says The Lord God. 

==Signs==
 
Many great signs have been given 
To this generation, yet all have went 
Greatly ignored by the multitude; 
Yet those who are Mine have clearly seen.

Yet understand this, 
These signs are but the first of many, 
And shall continue, increasing by measure 
Until the time be fulfilled...

Then shall The Son of Man appear, 
Clothed in the brightness of His glory, 
A brilliance which has no equal; 
Even the blind shall see!...

Says The Lord. 

==In My Footsteps‎‎==
 
Beloved, I delight in that which one gives to another in My name, and by the works of their own hands and feet in all righteousness. This is the tithe in which I delight most. 
Therefore if one comes to you, saying, “Give me a cup of water,” give them a drink in My name. And if another comes, saying, “I need a shirt, for I am naked and cold,” give them your shirt and your coat also. And if this same one asks, “Will you walk with me this far?” Go with them double. 
 

Therefore, tithe not only 
Of your money and material possessions, 
But also of your strength and your time, 
As one willing to give up their life for My sake.

For this is to truly know Me, 
This is to walk in Me, in My very footsteps, 
And to love your neighbor as yourself...

Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==The Way of the Upright‎‎==
 
Those who have received eyes to see, 
See the way ahead clearly and 
Without obstruction, and follow it.

And those who have received ears to hear, 
Hear the Truth and obey it...

Says The Lord. 

==A Welcomed Rain==
 
Beloved, I have poured out My spirit on all flesh, even as I was poured out for you from the beginning. Yet no one comes to drink, not one is willing to receive of Me as I truly am. Therefore I shall indeed remove My hand, and My spirit shall return to Me.[https://www.thevolumesoftruth.com/I_Shall_Remove_My_Hand_and_My_Spirit_Shall_Be_Withdrawn..._And_That_Purposed_from_the_Beginning_Shall_Be_Done,_It_Shall_Be_Accomplished_Swiftly#I_Shall_Remove_My_Hand_and_My_Spirit_Shall_Be_Withdrawn...] Behold, from every individual who refuses to give heed to My voice and embrace My correction has it departed already. 
Yet let all those who remain in My love understand and have peace. For though My spirit departs from the multitudes and the ensuing darkness be thick, though wickedness overflows and every man of pride who being wise in his own eyes is left confounded, I shall not make a total end. 
 

For My hand shall remain with the faithful, 
And My strength shall be revealed in My anointed.

Behold, My spirit shall well up within 
The hearts of the penitent and come upon 
My chosen as a welcomed rain, and they shall 
Be greatly increased, shining ever brighter, 
Even amidst thick clouds and darkness...

Says The Lord. 

==Prepare the Way of The Lord==
 
Prepare in the desert the way of The Lord! 
Make a straight path in these 
Dry and parched lands, 
For The Holy One of Israel!

Let every valley be exalted, 
And every mountain and hill brought low! 
Let the crooked places be made straight, 
And the rough places smooth!

For The Glory of The Lord shall be 
Revealed from Heaven, and all 
People shall behold it together!...

Declares The Lord. 

==The Joy of The Lord==
 
Beloved, come and be filled with the joy of The Lord, which never fades, nor does it slumber, nor will it ever pass away; a flood of joy flowing into the innermost parts of your being, cascading through your spirit, reaching deep into that hidden place known only to The Lord; a place crafted by My own fingertips, delicately fashioned so those of the flesh may know Me, unlocked and opened by the trusting in and the knowledge of The Greatest of All Loves...

A love which surpasses time and space, life and death, a place of perfect peace, yea inside pure and undefiled love; love of such a kind, cleansing every part seen and unseen, known and unknown; the love of such power and majesty, even that which has been corrupted is restored in the image of God... From grace to Grace, from light to The Light...

My glory shown in you and through you, bright and shining, a flame brought forth from My own glory, shared with My beloved forever; a flame which can never be put out, nor can it flicker, nor shall it be covered over again! For where I am there is no darkness at all! Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==A Trumpet and Alarm==
 
Let all who behold My words look upon 
Them as an ensign, as a waving banner brought 
Forth and set up for this wayward generation, 
Even as a trumpet and alarm blowing 
Continually upon the wall...

Let its sound rush through the streets of the cities! 
Let its noise be carried into the wilderness, 
Even to the outermost isles!

And let all those who have ears to hear listen, 
And be silent before their God, and pray.

Indeed, let all in the earth partake of My Word 
And be brought into deep and profound silence, 
And consider...

Says The Lord. 

==The Stone==
 
I shall increase the sound of 
My voice seven times, even as Jericho, 
Until all things break and all are broken...

Many broken unto death, ground to dust 
Beneath The Stone which shall be placed in Zion, 
For The Stone shall become a great mountain 
Filling the whole earth...

While still others, My hidden treasure, 
My battered and bruised sheep, 
The wild of My flock, are broken and 
Come to rest solidly atop this same Stone, 
The Rock of My Enduring Promise...

Says The Lord. 

==The Lord Your Righteousness==
 
The Lord your God has a Holy One. He is The Head of the body, The True Sanctuary, The Only Life Without End! Behold, He is a strong tower, a fortified city in the day of battle, an all-encompassing fire, The Mighty and Strong One whose rod is made of iron, The Law-Giver... The Source of Life by which all things consist, your Carpenter and Redeemer, The Salvation of God! 
Therefore wait upon The Lord with meekness and fear, with unwavering trust; wait for Him! For He is The Fountain of Living Waters for all who thirst, a fruitful vine for the hungry, a wealth of riches for all those who come to Me empty. 
 

Therefore, beloved, give Him glory! 
Lift up your voices with everlasting praise! 
Bring thanksgiving to the altar, 
And offer up your hearts before Him!

Shout His name to the heavens, 
For He is The Lord your Righteousness!...

YAHUSHUA HAMASHIACH!... 

IMMANU EL! 

==The Voice of The Lord==
 
And what of My voice, you ask? Its sound? Its tone? Its passion? 
This is what I say to you: Listen, and you shall also know...

How does water taste to the man 
Lost in the desert, dying of thirst?

How does food taste to the starving?

How does love feel to the desolate?

How does the warmth of a fire feel 
To those coming in from the cold?

How does the caress of your 
Beloved feel after many days apart?

How does a father look upon his newborn child?

How can one describe the sound 
Of love which surpasses knowledge, 
The sound of what My love is?

Can you hold the infinite in your hand?! 
 

Beloved, this is what My voice 
Sounds like to those who love Me: 
 

A still small voice. 
 

And to the rest: 
The sound of rushing waters, 
Lightnings and thunderings of fury and fiery anger, 
With deep and infinite sorrow, bitter anguish! 
 

Love. 
 

The Voice of Truth. 

==The Volumes==
 
My Word in The Volumes of Truth is the rod by which the translations of men are to be tested, a light which shines upon the doctrines of men to expose them, revealing them to be blasphemies and heresies before God, all of which shall burn up in the Day, when the fire comes to test the quality of each man’s work. 
 

Therefore, if one professing faith be wise, 
He shall humble himself before Me, 
Calling upon the name of The Holy One 
For knowledge, in where all understanding 
Flows to the truly contrite and penitent, 
Flowing in pure testimony, free from corruption.

And by this only shall one be wise in the reading, 
Comparing that which was given with that 
Which is put forth once again, discerning 
The Source and The Author to be the same...

One Word, One Book, 
One on-going Testament to My glory; 
By no means shall it be divided into three!...

Says The Lord. 

==The Tabernacle of My Mercy==
 
Behold, I shall come in an instant! 
In a moment, I shall reach down and take My spoil!

Therefore, let the remnant of Israel be found 
Waiting with eager hands, and let those grafted 
Into My olive tree bear summer fruit!

Let the sprigs sprout quickly, 
And let not the seedlings be withered; 
Let not the noonday sun wilt or scorch 
Any of My pleasant plants.

Be moved from your places, 
Oh My people, and be hidden! 
Be exalted, oh My beautiful ones, 
And find sanctuary in the tabernacle of My mercy!

Be sheltered from all this burning heat, 
Until the indignation passes by 
And The Majesty comes![https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isaiah%2026%3A20-21&version=NKJV]...

Says The Lord. 

==The Only Judge‎‎==
 
Nothing coming from the mouth of those who scoff and shoot out the lip against The Lord’s anointed, whether they be a friend or an enemy, a spouse or a relative, a neighbor or a stranger, a scholar or a teacher, a pastor or a self-appointed prophet or preacher, shall be accounted as true. Neither shall any weight be given to their arguments; it is wind. For I alone sit as judge, says The Lord. 

==Brought Low‎‎==
 
As the scythe cuts through the stalk, 
As the sweeping blow fells many plants at once, 
So shall the sharpness of realization cut to the heart 
Of this people, and in that same moment the 
Loftiness of many shall be brought down...

Declares The Lord. 

==The Author and The Finisher==
 
If you embrace the Scriptures of Truth, 
Yet reject My Word in these Volumes, 
You deny the Word of The Lord.

And if you embrace My Letters, 
Yet reject the Bible, 
You deny the Word of The Lord.

For I am The Author and Finisher thereof... 

Says The Lord. 

==Solace==
 
I shall not make a total end...

For I shall clothe all who come to Me 
In sincere repentance with fine robes.

I shall feed the poor in spirit, 
Wipe the tears of the remorseful, 
And uphold the broken.

I shall shelter the penitent and give grace 
To the humble, and the pure in heart 
Shall behold My face.

Indeed, all who wash My feet 
With their tears shall be comforted 
For one week in the house of The Lord...

Says The Holy One of Israel. 

==The Almighty‎‎==
 
I AM THE LORD...

He who sets up kingdoms and brings them to ruin! 
He who set the foundations of the earth 
And covered them with beauty! 
He who also set the stars in their places 
And caused the galaxies to take their form! 
He to whom all creation bows down!...

He whose power is limitless and by whose wisdom 
All things were brought forth, 
Whose authority is absolute, 
The God who reigns in Israel!...

He who was and is and is to come, 
The Almighty! 

==Refinement==
 
The lake of My burning heart is a consuming fire, 
And in the heat of My jealousy I shall purify 
My people seven times, until only that 
Which bears My likeness remains...

The refined lifted up, the wicked consumed, 
Destruction of every kind of evil!...

For I am The Lord who was and is, 
Even from the beginning, 
And to the end and forever after I remain...

Says The Lord. 

==The Planting of The Lord==
 
Pretense is not at all becoming of a servant 
Of The Lord; neither is the world a garment 
Which My elect shall wear.

Beloved, strip yourselves naked; 
Cast off these filthy robes! 
Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean! 
Turn away from this world, and come to Me!

Lay yourselves upon the altar and 
Become a living sacrifice to The Lord, 
The planting of The Lord, My pleasant plants 
Set in the midst of My vineyard, 
My beautiful ones grafted in...

Says The Lord. 

==A Unique and Lovely Song==
 
Here is wisdom: The prayers of My children are indeed precious in My sight, a unique and lovely song entering My ears. For every song sung in My name, whether in open or in secret, in sorrow or in joy, is received up to Heaven as a memorial before The Holy One of Israel, even as incense before the altar. For that which has come up before Me is a blessing, which is then received back again, a wonderful recompense for fervent prayer on another’s behalf. 
 

Thus that prayed due to a troubled heart 
Comes back again, to heal not the heart 
Of the one on whose behalf the prayer was offered, 
But to mend that which is torn in the 
Heart of the one who offered it...

Whether it be from anger to forgiveness, 
Or from anguish to peace, 
Or from tears of sadness to tears 
Of hope and joyful expectation...

Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==A Prophet==
 
What is a prophet?...

Is he not a man, My servant, 
Whom I have chosen and called? 
And when does My servant become a prophet? 
And what is the length of time he remains as such?

Lo, he is only a prophet in that self-same moment 
In which I speak to him and cause him to hear, 
Prophesying only as long as I cause him 
To speak or to write My words.

For there is no prophecy apart from My will, 
And without My voice there can be no prophesying; 
And without My spirit, no man may hear, 
Nor shall he behold a vision, 
Nor is he able to understand.

Apart from The Holy One, 
There is no knowledge... 

I AM THE LORD. 

==No Equal==
 
I am The Lord, He who stretched out the heavens and hung the earth upon nothing. I am He who created all these worlds, He who causes all things to be. I am He who formed man from the dust of the earth and gave him breath, and he became a living soul. Behold, I spoke all life into existence, yes, I am He who called all things into existence, saying, “Arise and declare My glory!” For all creation obeys the sound of My voice.

 
Yea, the whole universe declares My glory! 
For I am He who commanded the stars to shine 
Their light and the galaxies to take their form.

Behold, My voice reaches across the universe, 
And reverence is spread out before Me; 
For I command the hills to bow down and the 
Mountains to be brought low, and it is so; 
Yea, the whole earth trembles when I pass by!

For I am great in power and My glory has no equal!

Thus the fear of The Lord goes before Me, 
And obedience follows after Me...

Says The Lord. 

==Maranatha==
 
Fear God and put all your trust in The Holy One. For the power of The Father is displayed through The Son, for He is the express image of The Holy, The Salvation of God... He whose hand reaches far and wide, whose strength is almighty, whose wisdom holds all creation in His understanding, whose love endures forever! He whose righteousness comes, and had been stretched out before us, for every eye to see! The end of which shall be as a flood cleansing the sanctuary of His mercy, restoring all things, even to a new heavens and a new earth. 
 

Behold, it is time for the power 
Of God to be made known, for the name 
Of The Holy One of Israel to be glorified 
Above the heights of the mountains, 
To overshadow every hill!...

It is time for The King to return and gather, 
To reveal the glory of His might!...

Immanu El! 

==Trust In God Alone==
 
What is earthly, let it stay earthly; 
And what is spiritual, let it stay spiritual.

Hold not to the earthly nor to the 
Understanding of men, nor grab hold 
Of any private interpretation of Scripture; 
Trust not in the doctrines of men.

Hold fast to God, 
And place all your trust in The Messiah. 

==Open Your Eyes to The Truth==
 
Search, and you shall discover the truth, which is God. Dissect life’s structures; there He is, its writer and fashioner. Look deeper and farther than ever before, and there you will find Him. Calculate and count all things which are before your eyes, yes, search the cosmos, study it, and you will begin to know Him. No matter where you point your lenses, there He is, within the scope of your understanding. 
 

Behold, all discoveries lead to God! 
Though you need not seek, nor discover, 
For the knowledge of God is within you.

Yet only the shedding of the skin 
Of this world and the death of your pride 
Shall open your eyes to The Truth - 
Which is absolute, forever standing 
On a hill, bright and shining, 
Immovable, unbreakable!...

The Everlasting Stone which has 
Become The Head of the Corner, 
The Great Mountain which 
Fills the whole earth! 

==Seek The Light==
 
Those who seek to understand the dark 
Will soon find themselves trapped 
In the midst of it, unable to break free.

Yet those who seek The Light will find it, 
And I will show them The Way; 
In these darkness has no foothold...

Says The Lord. 

==The Redeemed==
 
Beloved, cast off your sins, 
Depart quickly from temptation, 
And to the accuser turn a deaf ear.

For I tell you the truth, evil has lost 
Its grip on the redeemed...

Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==The Riches of Eden==
 
Only those in union with The Messiah 
Shall inherit the riches of Eden, 
And only those who fully accept 
His sacrifice shall be restored.

For from the garden did you come forth, 
And to the garden shall you return; 
Yet not in the former manner, but in glory...

Created anew... 

Says The Lord. 

==A Right Heart==
 
A right heart bridles the tongue; 
And a forgiving heart absolves every hurt, 
Bringing peace to the mind...

Says The Lord. 

==The Restoration==
 
Behold, The Restoration is coming, coming quickly!...

All things restored as in the beginning; 
A garden where nothing is destroyed, 
And none are given to destruction; 
No more pain or tears, no more sickness or death...

Only life is, and shall be, forever!... 

Says The Lord. 

==Unchanging==
 
As I have spoken, so I speak; 
As I am, so shall I be and have always been...

For I am The Lord, 
And I DO NOT CHANGE. 

==The Time of Testing==
 
My spirit has spoken throughout 
The generations, in its steadfastness and quiet; 
Yet few have ears to hear, few are willing 
To open their hearts and receive My correction.

Yet now the time has come for those 
Who say they are My people to be tried, 
It is time for their works to be tested.

For the Word of My mouth shall declare it, 
And in the Day of The Lord 
It shall surely be made plain...

Every false way exposed, 
Every perverse tradition torn in pieces, 
Every detestable doctrine crushed 
Beneath the weight of the Truth...

Says The Lord. 

==All Tears Wiped Away==
 
Those who grab hold of their First Love 
With all their heart, with all their mind, 
With all their strength and with all their soul, 
Shall never go hungry, nor shall they thirst anymore; 
Nor shall the heat of the noonday 
Sun do them any harm...

Yea, even all their tears shall be wiped away 
In the house of The Lord...

Says The Lord. 

==Tipping Point==
 
I tell you the truth, that which is tipped can not be set upright again, and that which has been set in motion can not be stopped. Lo, even that which was held captive in the depths of silence has been released. Behold, it comes forth, increasing by order of magnitude, and can in no wise be put back again... Says The Lord. 

==One Salvation==
 
I have put forth a great multitude of words to bless you, a great number of loving and stern speeches. I have called this generation to repent, and have given ample warning. And those who cupped their ears heard My voice, and those who received of Me wrote My words in their heart, sincerely seeking to do them, that they might honor Me and bring glory to My name. 
 

For I AM THE LORD, 
And there is but One Escape...

Whether one lives or dies, 
There is but One Salvation...

No matter the time or the season, 
There is but One...

Declares The Almighty. 

==Trust==
 
Behold, the signs of My coming 
Are made plain and are revealed in the 
World everyday, even in every corner.

Yet that which I am doing is not 
Easily discerned by men; 
For their hearts are hard, and they 
Remain slow of understanding.

Therefore great trust is required, 
And must be born of real belief, 
Knowing I AM WHO I AM...

Says The Lord. 

==Acquiesce==
 
Listen to the sound of My voice, 
Fall in love with Me as at the first, 
Come to Me anew as in the beginning; 
Beloved, it is time to acquiesce, 
To fully surrender to the truth of who I am!...

To be submersed in My spirit, 
To be baptized in My love, 
To seek first The Kingdom of God 
And His Righteousness, which I am...

Then shall that which is needful be added to you... 

I AM THE LORD. 

==The Lord’s Day==
 
Behold, The Son of Righteousness shall rise up with healing in His wings, and you, My precious beloved, shall go out leaping like calves released from the stall! The King, Himself, shall cultivate the ground in that day, with streams of living waters breaking out behind Him! Behold, new life shall fill every corner, and the desolate places shall be restored! Whole forests shall burst forth from the ground, with every kind of tree and flowering plant, every kind of grass and fern reappearing, and every living creature leaping up from the dust of the earth, once again! 
Behold, The Lord’s peace shall be there! And nothing under the sun shall destroy, nor shall anything be given to destruction, in all My holy mountain! For there shall be no predator, nor shall any prey be found, neither shall the strong slay the weak. For as it is written: The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, the lion shall eat straw like the ox, and dust shall be the serpent’s food.[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isaiah+65%3A25&version=NKJV] All shall dwell in safety, with every living creature dwelling at peace with its neighbor. 
Behold, in that day everlasting righteousness shall reign in all the earth! For The King shall stand up, and all creation shall bow down! And He shall look upon the joy of His heart with gladness, and the blessing shall be fulfilled: He shall bless them and keep them, and make His face to shine upon them; He shall be gracious to them, and lift up His countenance upon them, and grant them peace.[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Numbers%206%3A24-26&version=NKJV] 
And thus shall My name be placed upon the children of Israel, even upon all who have been grafted in, and they shall be blessed. Yea, they shall be exceedingly glad, dwelling in the presence of The Lord, forever! 
Behold, the multitudes shall break forth into singing! For The Glory of The Lord shall be alive in their hearts, the seal of The Living God shall be upon their foreheads, the Way of The Lord shall dwell in their limbs, and unending praise shall be upon their lips! All their doings shall bear fruit in righteousness, for The Law shall be written there, even in their innermost parts! And behold, The King of Peace shall overflow, and His people shall be satisfied and have rest, our joy complete. 
 

Therefore, blessed are all those who seek 
Forgiveness in YahuShua HaMashiach, 
And also receive.

For in His name shall all find freedom, 
Solace under the shadow of His healing wings...

Life without end... 

Says The Lord God.

The Volumes of Truth New Testament Study Bible - The Book of Matthew

2026-04-02T21:33:29Z

VolumesTim:

This is a revised version of the Book of Matthew, corrected for significant translation errors such as the name of The Messiah, hell and hades, etc. However, the names of other people were not corrected. Only The Messiah's name was restored. This is also an extensive 189-page Bible/Letter study of the Book of Matthew.

=Purity Part One: Purity is Important to God=
<html5media>https://www.thevolumesoftruth.com/images/9/9f/Purity_Part_One_Purity_is_Important_to_God_1.1-1.4_%28read_by_text-to-speech%29.mp3</html5media>
"And you, even you who are called Christian, you also shall be tried. For as silver purified in the furnace seven times, so shall I purify you until I have burned away the dross, until you also become a holy people set apart for My name, grafted in. For I must refine My people and separate My flocks, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats, as the hired man calls them out from amongst them. For I am The Shepherd, and in My servants I shall surely dwell." (From “[[My Word Is Fire]]”)

Let no one despise your youth, but be an example to the believers in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity. (1 Timothy 4:12)

"Therefore, thus says The Holy One of Israel: Beloved, I have spoken to you firmly, and with a stern voice I have declared the controversy of The Lord; with a multitude of words and unending mercy, I have spoken and shall continue to speak. For I am The Lord, and I do not change. I do what is right, I alone know what is most needful. 
Thus I have called for a right heart within My servants, for My people to walk in My ways without reservation.” (From “[[I Am Calling You Out! (Part 1)]]”)

"So then, do I call you to serve Me? I do, if you are willing to serve Me in all righteousness, without compromise. Do I then require that you be perfect? No. For there is none perfect, save The Holy One of Israel. Rather I require that you strive to be unto Me a servant of pure heart, of pure intention, a disciple who loves Me with all his heart, understanding and strength, and also loves his neighbor as himself. For it is written and remains standing, that one can not be crowned unless they strive lawfully.” (From “[[Blessed Are Those Who Overcome for My Name’s Sake]]”) 

==Purity of Heart and Mind==
<ul>
<li>Purifying your heart and mind is the first and most important step.</li>
</ul>

How can a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed according to Your word. (Psalm 119:9)

He who loves purity of heart and has grace on his lips, the king will be his friend. (Proverbs 22:11)

"Therefore, run to Me at all times and in every season, My sons, and cease not from humbling yourselves before Me. Purify your hearts and purge your minds, for it is time. Open your mouths in silence, and breathe Me in. Pour your hearts upon the floor, empty out every chamber. Purge your bowels, and let your innards grumble and make a great noise. Let your palates dry up for thirst, and drink no more from all these polluted fountains. Plug your ears, that the noise of this world goes silent, and cover your eyes, that you may no more look upon all these abominations, and wait upon Me. 
Beloved, your body is My temple; now prepare My place before Me. For from the womb did I set you apart; before your flesh was formed, I knew you and chose you for My purpose. Therefore consider My words, and make your decision, and I shall surely finish it, says The Lord." (From “Called According to The Lord’s Purpose”) 

==Purity of Life==
<ul>
<li>Purity of life includes doing those outward things which would be pleasing to The Lord, and letting go of everything which is not pleasing. (This includes what you watch on TV and the internet, movies, and music, etc.) This is the second step regarding purity. First one must purify their mind and heart; then purifying your outward life is easier, even a by-product of purifying your heart and mind.</li>
</ul>

"Thus says The Lord YahuShua: Beloved, a sincere desire to be free from the iniquity of this world is good and well-pleasing to The Lord. For one who truly loves Me seeks to please Me." (From “[[Obey God]]”)

"For these know Me, and I live in them. And together we shall walk, choosing the good and refusing the evil, until we walk together anew in My kingdom, says The Lord." (From “[https://www.thevolumesoftruth.com/Words_To_Live_By..._More_Words_of_Wisdom_From_The_Lord,_Our_God_and_Savior#Walking_Together_in_The_Father.E2.80.99s_Joy Walking Together in The Father’s Joy]”)
 

==Living Sacrifices==
From YahuShua HaMashiach, Our Lord and Savior 
The Word of The Lord Spoken to Timothy

Thus says The Lord: My children, do you love Me? Then do as I command you. Grow wise in Me, and live according to My Word, even according to all these Letters I have given you, by which I have set all these crooked paths straight. For My every word is Scripture, My every Letter truth. Be cognizant of My comings and goings. For I have indeed come to live in those who have received of Me, those who obey My voice and embrace Me as I truly am. 
Again, I say to you, honor Me first with your ways, then with your mouth. For honor only spoken of is but wind, the veil of the hypocrite who knows not where he is going, having no remorse over where he has been. For how can one who professes to love Me live contrary to Me? Beloved ones, I love you as I love The Father. In the same way, whoever loves Me loves The Father also. I obey The Father in all things, because I love The Father and The Father is in Me. Likewise those who are truly My disciples obey My voice, because they love Me and I live in them. 
So then, walk in My ways and be for Me examples, letting your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in Heaven, as it is written. Beloved ones, show them the Way by your faith and obedience, that they too may come to walk beside Me, even upon the Highway of Holiness, each at their appointed time, each in due season. For I tell you the truth, to walk where The Son of God walks, you must become like Me; crucifying your lives of old, separating yourselves from the bitter enmity which is of this world and the churches of men, living sacrifices who seek to please The Father in all their ways. 
For it is written: If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? Therefore, those who strive to hold onto their life in this world will lose it, having already become dead men’s bones in a wasteland of many sorrows, leading and following others on the wide path to destruction.

Beloved, what are all these things of this world compared with your life? What is their worth? And what of all these works of man? Are they not passing away? Again I ask you, what is their value? I tell you the truth, whoever loves anything in this world, more than Me, is not worthy of Me. For I am The Only Way, The Only Truth and The Only Life. There is nothing apart from Me.

Therefore come and follow Me, 
For I am called Jesus The Christ...

My name: YahuShua HaMashiach...

The only name under Heaven 
By which you must be saved.

 

~ From: "[[Living Sacrifices]]" 

==To Achieve Purity of Heart and Mind, One Must Continually Call Upon The Lord in Prayer==
"You have indeed chosen Me, says The Lord, even as I have chosen you. Yet understand this: I will no more share you, I will no more be divided in you. Decide, make the decision, draw the line in the sand! Rebuke temptation in My name; say to temptation and he who is the tempter, “YOU SHALL PROCEED NO FURTHER!”... “I am The Lord’s! And I will no more give myself to diverse lusts, to the cares and deceits of my flesh and this world... I AM THE LORD’S! My heart, it is The Lord’s; My mind, it is The Lord’s; My will, it is The Lord’s; My flesh, it is The Lord’s; the whole of my body, even all I am, I give to The Lord... I am The Lord’s! Yea, I pour out my life before The Lord, even as He poured out His; let me receive it! In the name of My Love, I call out in YahuShua’s name, I ask to receive it!... YahuShua, My Life and My Righteousness, I want Your life!... My Lord and my God, I am yours! Do with me as You please, according to the good pleasure of Your will. I give myself away. Amen.”" (From “Poured Out”)

Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. Make me hear joy and gladness, that the bones You have broken may rejoice. Hide Your face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities. Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. (Psalm 51:7-10)

"Take my life, it’s Yours! You offered Yourself up to suffering and death, on account of what I have done. I deserve my punishment, yet You bore my sins upon the tree, even the sins of those I love. I can not approach Your love, but by any and all means, I shall strive to show You my love and my gratitude. I leave my heart open to You; mold it, create in me a pure heart, for I long to see Your face. Renew in me a right spirit, that I may be steadfast for Your purpose and walk in Your ways." (From “My Redeemer Lives”) 

=Purity Part Two: Avoiding Sin=
<html5media>https://www.thevolumesoftruth.com/images/2/29/Purity_Part_Two_Avoiding_Sin_2.1-2.4_%28read_by_text-to-speech%29.mp3</html5media>
<ul>
<li>In order for one to seek purity effectively, you must first be able to identify sin. Sin is anything which goes against God, His Law, His will, His spirit or His commands. To disobey God is sin... Therefore, obey God.</li>
</ul>

Yet those who love Me obey My commands and give heed to the leading of My spirit, for the two are in agreement. It is written: God is love. And if I am love, then obey Me as I have loved you; remember My decrees and obey My Commandments. Reveal to every onlooker that I am indeed your First Love, and I alone deserve your worship. (From “[[Do Not Be Tempted by the World, For Its Ways Lead Only to Blasphemy and Sin]]”)

Thus says The Risen Lamb: Therefore, as I have unleavened all men by My sacrifice, in the same way must those who live in Me crucify their lives daily, bearing their cross after Me. For the first six days of the feast shall be for a physical representation of My command to you: You are forgiven, now go out and sin no more. Be then separate from the ways of this world and the churches of men, and be for Me a strange and peculiar people who remain in My love, even as I kept The Father’s commands and remain in His love. (From “[[Unleavened]]”) 

==The Ten Commandments - God’s Holy Law==
<ul>
<li>To break any of The Commandments is a sin. Therefore, keep The Commandments.</li>
</ul>

And God spoke all these words: “I am The Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. You shall have no other gods before me. You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, The Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments. You shall not misuse the name of The Lord your God, for The Lord will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name. 
Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a sabbath to The Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your male or female servant, nor your animals, nor any foreigner residing in your towns. For in six days The Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore The Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy. 
Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land The Lord your God is giving you. You shall not murder. You shall not commit adultery. You shall not steal. You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor. You shall not covet your neighbor’s house. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his male or female servant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.” (Exodus 20:1-17)

Therefore, this is how you shall know the children of God: They keep The Commandments and have the Testimony of YahuShua The Messiah, who is called Jesus and Christ. For if one comes and has the Testimony, yet seeks not to keep The Commandments of God, he is a liar and shall be found as such in the Day of The Lord. And if one comes, saying, “Keep The Commandments,” yet has not the Testimony of YahuShua The Messiah, this one also shall be found a liar. (From “[[Thus Says The Lord, by The Spirit of Truth: Obey The Commandments]]”; Revelation 12:17, Revelation 14:12, 1 John 2:4)

"For I have written The Law in the hearts of all men; all are able to discern right from wrong. Thus they choose to rebel; they remain in their sins. For I have indeed written it, even on tablets of stone and within the heart of man, and within the pages of My Book it is made plain. Thus they are without excuse. 
For I am God alone, The Righteous One. I alone am holy, just and good; I alone have divided right from wrong; I alone have established The Law and define what is sin. Behold, I expose the darkness and bring all hidden things into the light. For I alone sit as Judge, The Only Faithful and True Witness." (From “[[I Shall Correct and Discipline All Those I Love]]”)

"Therefore, keeping The Law is a reflection of My own spirit in you. For anyone who says, “I am in The Lord and He is in Me,” while forsaking The Law, is a liar, and will be found as such in the Day of Reckoning. For I AM WHO I AM, the same and unchanging, nor do I stand divided against Myself. Yet My children do continually use My name and that gift given them as a sword by which they attempt to justify their sins, which I hate! Desecration! Thus until the Day be fulfilled, let those who do wickedly continue therein, and let those who seek righteousness walk therein, until the harvest is complete. But oh how blessed are those who have received of Grace, and seek to please The Father by obeying His Law, and teach men so... Grace AND The Law." (From “[[You Shall Not Use Grace as a Sword, By Which You Attempt to Slay The Moral Law]]”)

"Shall My people reach toward Heaven with their hands, while their feet continue to tread the wide path which leads to destruction? And how shall one who loves Me take My hand and walk beside Me, with one foot on the good ground and the other in the grave? 
Therefore knowledge must increase, and sin decrease, to enter The Kingdom of Heaven. For one who is under grace bears fruit of the same; and The One who kept The Law of The Father revealed that grace by works. So then, Grace is first and everlasting. Then comes works, the first works done in faith, even the first fruits bore in your lives... Which is to love The Father and one another, by keeping The Law, says The Lord." (From “[https://www.thevolumesoftruth.com/Words_To_Live_By..._More_Words_of_Wisdom_From_The_Lord,_Our_God_and_Savior#Grace_AND_The_Moral_Law Grace AND The Moral Law]”)

"For it is written and remains standing, that one can not be crowned unless they strive lawfully... 
My son, I am the fulfillment of The Law, the very goal at which the Torah aims. Thus all those who embrace Me are freed from the curse of The Law, but by no means are they now free to forsake The Law. Rather let The Law be written in your heart, for now you are under grace, and by the power of My own spirit are you now able to keep The Law... Beloved, come to Me and receive! Let Me wash you and make you clean, that you may now arise and walk in My ways." (From “[[Blessed Are Those Who Overcome for My Name’s Sake]]”)

Therefore hear the Word of The Lord and give heed, for thus declares The Lord: One Commandment broken are all Commandments broken. One sin committed in The Messiah’s name are all sins accounted to you. One sin repented in His name, all are forgiven you. For I know your thoughts, My children, even your innermost intentions, and I know whether or not you are fully converted in your hearts. And though you may lie to yourselves, and bear false witness in the sight of many witnesses, nothing is hidden from the eyes of God - every lie exposed, every heart laid bare, in the Day I rise up and judge the earth. 
Come to Me, therefore, in sincerity and in truth; humble yourselves in The Messiah’s name. For He is The True Light, utterly void of darkness, The Only Way to follow, The Truth Absolute; by Him alone shall you walk into everlasting life. For only those who walk in Him shall find Me,  and only those in union with Him shall know Me, says The Lord. (From “[[Transgression]]”) 

==Other Sins==
<ul>
<li>There are sins, which are not specifically listed in The Ten Commandments. They are more subtle, and thus easily dismissed by some. However, ALL sin requires forgiveness, no matter how seemingly large or small.</li>
</ul>

Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are: immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, disputes, dissensions, factions, envying, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these, of which I forewarn you, just as I have forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. (Galatians 5:19-21)

These six things The Lord hates, yes, seven are an abomination to Him: A proud look, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that are swift in running to evil, a false witness who speaks lies, and one who sows discord among brethren. (Proverbs 6:16-19)

But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away! (2 Timothy 3:1-5) 

==All Sin Is Sin, and Requires Forgiveness; Repent, and Ask For Forgiveness, and It Shall Be Given==
"Thus says The Lord: It is the penitent man who shall know God, and penitent you must be; die to yourselves daily. Cast off the skin of this world and walk with Me as I am, and not as you would have Me be. 
Beloved ones, do you long to obey? Then obey. Do you wish to stay clean? Then stay clean. Doubt is your enemy, doubt is a stone of stumbling at your feet. For I tell you the truth, one whose faith has come to completion, having received the full revelation of who I am, will not sin. For only the face of The Holy One is before their eyes. 
Beloved ones, only One is without sin, The Son of Man. Yet the desire to sin is still within you, and now also The Truth, and so the battle rages. Therefore, beware. For doubt leads to disobedience, and to disobey God is sin, and the penalty of sin is death. Yet I have overcome death, having written your name in the Book of Life from the very foundation of the world. What is left then? Only the death of sin itself, and the passing away of death. 
Beloved, cast off your sins, depart quickly from temptation, and to the accuser turn a deaf ear. For I tell you the truth, evil has lost its grip on the redeemed. Therefore hear My words, and also do them; give heed to My speech, and embrace all I have given you; drink deeply from this cup, and be created anew, says The Lord your Redeemer." (From “[[A Stone of Stumbling]]”)

If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. (1 John 1:9)

Who is a God like You, pardoning iniquity and passing over the transgression of the remnant of His heritage? He does not retain His anger forever, because He delights in mercy. He will again have compassion on us, and will subdue our iniquities. You will cast all our sins into the depths of the sea. (Micah 7:18-19)

He who covers his sins will not prosper, but whoever confesses and forsakes them will have mercy. (Proverbs 28:13)

In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace. (Ephesians 1:7)

"My son, I died for the forgiveness of your sins - those of today, yesterday, and those sins of tomorrow. Yet man does continually stumble over his flesh, being tempted in a world filled with sin. And so he must continually come to Me, and even seventy times seven times shall I cleanse him and lift him up." (From “[[Born Again]]”)

"Thus says The Lord to His servant: Timothy, your sins are forgiven you; today’s, yesterday’s, and yes, even those sins of tomorrow are forgiven those of a sincere and penitent heart. For by the blood of My Only Begotten Son are you made clean; by His shed blood are you made worthy, by His suffering are you purged and by His stripes are you healed. Therefore one who asks anything in The Messiah’s name, in accordance with My will, shall surely have it, starting with the forgiveness of sins." (From “The Promise”)

"My son, I carried the infirmities of all those who came to Me in faith. In the same way, I carried their sin though I had no part in sin Myself. I am completely clean, and because of this, all who come to Me in sincerity and in truth are clean also. 
My son, I carried the weight of the world’s sin to the cross, and crucified sin through My suffering; the penalty of sin abolished as I fell asleep, The Victory established for all time upon My rising. For I am and will always be The Perfect Lamb, without spot or blemish, given up for many... The Restoration of All Things, says The Lord." (From “[[Without Spot or Blemish]]”)

"For My grace descends upon all who repent in sincerity and in truth, and My spirit dwells within those who keep The Commandments and testify to My glory. Therefore, My son, receive of Me; then will that which you seek become clear. For your heart’s true desire can not be found in the world... Seek God!" (From “[[Seek The Lord and He Will Open The Way]]”) 

==Follow Me==
From YahuShua HaMashiach, Our Lord and Savior 
The Word of The Lord Spoken to Timothy

 

"Listen closely 
And take My words to heart, 
All you who call of yourselves Christian: 
I ask you, do you really love Me?...

Then follow Me...

Beloved ones, listen closely 
And take My words to heart, 
All you who call of yourselves Christian: 
Do you really love Me?...

Then obey My Word! Follow Me!... 
 
Beloved, listen closely 
And take My words to heart, 
All you who call of yourselves Christian: 
Do you really love Me?!...

Then heed My voice and come out!...

FOLLOW ME!"

=Purity Part Three: True Repentance=
<html5media>https://www.thevolumesoftruth.com/images/b/b9/Purity_Part_Three_-_True_Repentance_3.1-3.2_%28read_by_text-to-speech%29.mp3</html5media>
<blockquote>
If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. (1 John 1:9)
</blockquote>

<ul>
<li>What is true repentance? True repentance is two-fold: 
First, we must acknowledge our sin, and repent, asking The Lord for forgiveness. 
Second, we must strive toward purity, and endeavor to no longer sin. 
Both are required for true repentance.</li>
</ul> 

==True Repentance in The Scriptures of Truth==
Bear fruit in keeping with repentance. (Matthew 3:8)

If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land. (2 Chronicles 7:14)

But declared first to those in Damascus, then in Jerusalem and throughout all the region of Judea, and also to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, performing deeds in keeping with their repentance. (Acts 26:20)

Whoever conceals his transgressions will not prosper, but he who confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy. (Proverbs 28:13)

Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent, and do the works you did at first. If not, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place, unless you repent. (Revelation 2:5)

Bear fruits in keeping with repentance. And do not begin to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ For I tell you, God is able from these stones to raise up children for Abraham. (Luke 3:8)

Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways, declares The Lord God. Repent and turn from all your transgressions, lest iniquity be your ruin. Cast away from you all the transgressions that you have committed, and make yourselves a new heart and a new spirit! Why will you die, O house of Israel? For I have no pleasure in the death of anyone, declares The Lord God; so turn, and live. (Ezekiel 18:30-32)

But if a wicked man turns from all his sins which he has committed, keeps all My statutes, and does what is lawful and right, he shall surely live; he shall not die. None of the transgressions which he has committed shall be remembered against him; because of the righteousness which he has done, he shall live. (Ezekiel 18:21-22)

Therefore say to them, Thus declares The Lord of hosts: Return to me, says The Lord of hosts, and I will return to you, says The Lord of hosts. (Zechariah 1:3)

It may be they will listen, and every one turn from his evil way, that I may relent of the disaster that I intend to do to them because of their evil deeds. (Jeremiah 26:3)

Seek The Lord while he may be found; call upon him while he is near; let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; let him return to The Lord, that he may have compassion on him, and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. (Isaiah 55:6-7)

“Therefore come out from among them and be separate, says The Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, and I will receive you. I will be a Father to you, and you shall be My sons and daughters,” says The Lord Almighty. Therefore, having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God. (2 Corinthians 6:17-18; 7:1)

But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of YahuShua HaMashiach His Son cleanses us from all sin. (1 John 1:7)

“Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways,” declares The Lord God. “Repent and turn from all your transgressions, lest iniquity be your ruin”. (Ezekiel 18:30)

She said, “No one, Lord.” And YahuShua said, “Neither do I condemn you; go, and from now on sin no more.” (John 8:11) 

==True Repentance in The Volumes of Truth==
"Thus says The Lord YahuShua: I have cleansed My well beloved, even every vessel, as many as are willing to receive, as many as are willing to walk in My ways and make their repentance full. Yet who among you has truly received? Who among you has made every effort to cast off his old nature and walk free? Who has come to Me naked that he may be clothed in My righteousness, that I might gird him with My strength?" (From “[[Watchmen]]”)

"In repentance I am always well pleased. Therefore let the penitent now turn fully to God, and do works meet for repentance. Let them no more be as the hypocrite, but let them walk close behind Me, abiding in the shadow of The Almighty. And let the wife in her youth learn piety at home, for this is good and acceptable before God. And what more shall I speak than that which I have spoken already? Therefore believe My words, and also do them, says The Lord." (From “[[Repentance]]”)

"Thus I call upon the sons of men, even all who dwell upon the earth, to repent, to turn from your wicked ways, to bring forth new works worthy of repentance... Oh that justice would well up like water, and righteousness as an ever-flowing stream." (From “[[ABASEMENT]]”)

"Therefore call on My name and make your repentance full, by departing from those things which are not lawful, standing apart from those things I hate, and you shall surely be delivered, says The Lord." (From “[[Obey God]]”)

"If you ask of Me forgiveness, I shall surely forgive you, even for all you have done. Yet to continue in those same sins, for which you had sought forgiveness, is most unpleasant in My sight. For by doing so, you have made My forgiveness of no effect. For that which requires forgiveness is the very same from which you must depart, lest your repentance become unrepentance, crucifying Me again and again in your heart. 
For repentance is more than the asking. It must come from a deep desire to be set free in My love, followed by a sincere unyielding commitment to make your love perfect through your obedience, the shedding of the skin of this world, the crucifying of your old man with his sinful ways... The putting on of the new man who is renewed in the knowledge of The Holy One, conforming to the image of Him who created him, says The Lord." (From “[[Blessed Are Those Who Overcome for My Name’s Sake]]”)

"For those without the gate retain their sin, for they hold fast to malice and have not yet departed from wickedness. Yet the hearts of the first election are filled with compassion and a sincere desire to walk in My ways, having called upon My name in sincerity and in truth, as they bring forth new works meet for repentance." (From “[[Do This in Remembrance of Me]]”)

"For I died; behold, I am risen! I am alive forevermore! Amen! And as I live, so shall the penitent man live. Even if he should turn and stumble, his salvation is in no wise lost to him. For he has an Advocate with The Father, One who stands in his place, having already paid the full price for his transgression; behold, his sin is remembered no more, cast into a dark sea of forgetfulness!... And oh how blessed are those who strive always to make their repentance full, says The Lord." (From “[[Salvation Is Given and Must Be Received; Once Received, Forever Shall It Belong to the Redeemed]]”)

 

"Does not conviction also bring about 
Revelation in those in whom My spirit dwells? 
And when it is finished, does it not also lead to 
Repentance, producing new and righteous works?... 

A deep desire to be set free in My love, 
Followed by a sincere unyielding commitment 
To make your love perfect through obedience...

The shedding of the skin of this world, 
The crucifying of your old man with his sinful ways, 
The putting on of the new man who is renewed 
In the knowledge of The Holy One, conforming 
To the image of Him who created him?...

For this, My son, is true repentance, says The Lord."

<blockquote>
The Lord your God is a consuming fire, My every word a purifying flame! The presence of The Lord is an oppressive storm, which abases the proud and causes the high-minded to flee! And that which I have spoken to this generation, is it not a sword with which I shall strike to the heart of this people?! For I shall surely set all these crooked paths straight, and burn away the dross! 
Yet for those who trust in Me and in whom My spirit dwells, My words are like a strong tower set in the midst of battle, which can in no wise be broken down! - A great trumpet blowing upon the hill outside the city, which echoes throughout the waste places! A waving banner for this generation, a bright light, a beacon, shining in the midst of this present darkness! A rod of justice for the oppressed and the persecuted, a loosening of the chains placed upon My people, the breaking apart of every shackle!... Freedom for those who love Me, deliverance for those who understand, strength for the weak, grace to the humble, manna to nourish the penitent, says The Lord.

==The Word of God Purifies His People==
"Beloved ones, if I am He who reigns in your heart, The One of whom you testify is love and mercy, The One alone who knows all things, why do you resist My correction and seek only to embrace that which is soft? If I speak, and My words carry My spirit, put no difference between them. For everything which comes from the mouth of The Lord your God is a blessing for all... A song for all those who have ears to hear, a vision to all who have eyes to see My splendor, painted by the Word of My glory, an overflowing fountain inside those whose hearts are wide open. 
Beloved, it is time for you to truly believe without seeing, to obey My voice, whether soft or hard. It is time for you to follow your heart, and no more bow to the demands of your mind. It is time for you to embrace Me as I truly am, says The Lord." (From “[[Blessed by The Word of God]]”)

Sanctify them in the truth; your Word is truth. (John 17:17)

"Beloved, this Word, even every Volume to every Letter, is the Word of My glory which I have put forth once again; a testament of My love and sacrifice, the announcement of My coming, a proclamation of truth, revelation of who I really am - the Trumpet Call of God, so all those called and chosen may hear and come to Me in their proper time and season. 
Behold, it is also a strong correction for all those who have taken to themselves MY name and MY Word, to pollute it, a plumb line for this wicked generation. For this Word is a waving banner, an ensign to all nations! - A trumpet of alarm and war, the sound of recompense and judgment, which shall soon fall upon every nation! For I AM WHO I AM!… The Only Begotten of The Father, The One True God and Savior, The Mashiach! YAHUSHUA-YAHUWAH!" (From “[[Know That Which Has Been Poured Out, The Word of God]]”)

"For the Word of God is living and powerful; sharper than any double-edged sword, piercing to where the soul meets the spirit, cutting through to where the joint meets the bone, even to the marrow; a discerner of the thoughts, a judge of the innermost intentions! 
Therefore, let all who behold My words look upon them as an ensign, as a waving banner brought forth and set up for this wayward generation, even as a trumpet and alarm blowing continually upon the wall. Let its sound rush through the streets of the cities! Let its noise be carried into the wilderness, even to the outermost isles! And let all those who have ears to hear listen, and be silent before their God, and pray. Indeed, let all in the earth partake of My Word and be brought into deep and profound silence, and consider, says The Lord." (From “[[Let All in the Earth Be Brought into Deep and Profound Silence]]”)

Now when the tempter came to Him, he said, “If You are The Son of God, command that these stones become bread.” But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’ “ (Matthew 4:3-4)

"Therefore, as blades of grass are beset with dew in the cool of the night, even till the morning, so shall I beset you with My words - each word a glistening drop from Heaven, every letter a shining jewel. Through you shall I set all these crooked paths straight, preparing My way before Me. Indeed, I shall reveal Myself to many, and by this Word, which I shall cause you to write, shall they begin to see Me as I truly am." (From “[[Humility and The Word of God]]”)

All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work. (2 Timothy 3:16-17)

Your Word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. (Psalm 119:105)

For this reason we also thank God without ceasing, because when you received the Word of God which you heard from us, you welcomed it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the Word of God, which also effectively works in you who believe. (1 Thessalonians 2:13)

Let the Word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. (Colossians 3:16)

You are already clean because of the Word which I have spoken to you. (John 15:3) 

==Psalm 119==
Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the Lord! Blessed are those who keep His testimonies, who seek Him with the whole heart! They also do no iniquity; they walk in His ways. You have commanded us to keep Your precepts diligently. Oh, that my ways were directed to keep Your statutes! Then I would not be ashamed, when I look into all Your commandments. I will praise You with uprightness of heart, when I learn Your righteous judgments. I will keep Your statutes; oh, do not forsake me utterly! 
How can a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed according to Your Word. With my whole heart I have sought You; oh, let me not wander from Your commandments! Your Word I have hidden in my heart, that I might not sin against You! Blessed are You, O Lord! Teach me Your statutes! With my lips I have declared all the judgments of Your mouth. I have rejoiced in the way of Your testimonies, as much as in all riches. I will meditate on Your precepts, and contemplate Your ways. I will delight myself in Your statutes; I will not forget Your Word.  Deal bountifully with Your servant, that I may live and keep Your Word. Open my eyes, that I may see wondrous things from Your law. I am a stranger in the earth; do not hide Your commandments from me. My soul breaks with longing for Your judgments at all times. You rebuke the proud--the cursed, who stray from Your commandments. Remove from me reproach and contempt, for I have kept Your testimonies. Princes also sit and speak against me, but Your servant meditates on Your statutes. Your testimonies also are my delight and my counselors. My soul clings to the dust; revive me according to Your Word. I have declared my ways, and You answered me; teach me Your statutes. Make me understand the way of Your precepts; so shall I meditate on Your wondrous works. My soul melts from heaviness; strengthen me according to Your Word. Remove from me the way of lying, and grant me Your law graciously. I have chosen the way of truth; Your judgments I have laid before me. I cling to Your testimonies; O Lord, do not put me to shame! I will run the course of Your commandments, for You shall enlarge my heart. Teach me, O Lord, the way of Your statutes, and I shall keep it to the end. Give me understanding, and I shall keep Your law; Indeed, I shall observe it with my whole heart. Make me walk in the path of Your commandments, for I delight in it. Incline my heart to Your testimonies, and not to covetousness. Turn away my eyes from looking at worthless things, and revive me in Your way. Establish Your Word to Your servant, who is devoted to fearing You. Turn away my reproach which I dread, for Your judgments are good. Behold, I long for Your precepts; revive me in Your righteousness. Let Your mercies come also to me, O Lord-- Your salvation according to Your Word. So shall I have an answer for him who reproaches me, for I trust in Your Word. And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth, for I have hoped in Your ordinances. So shall I keep Your law continually, forever and ever. And I will walk at liberty, for I seek Your precepts. I will speak of Your testimonies also before kings, and will not be ashamed. And I will delight myself in Your commandments, which I love. My hands also I will lift up to Your commandments, which I love, and I will meditate on Your statutes. Remember the word to Your servant, upon which You have caused me to hope. This is my comfort in my affliction, for Your Word has given me life. The proud have me in great derision, yet I do not turn aside from Your law. I remembered Your judgments of old, O Lord, and have comforted myself. Indignation has taken hold of me because of the wicked, who forsake Your law. Your statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage. I remember Your name in the night, O Lord, and I keep Your law. This has become mine, because I kept Your precepts. 
You are my portion, O Lord; I have said that I would keep Your words. I entreated Your favor with my whole heart; be merciful to me according to Your word. I thought about my ways, and turned my feet to Your testimonies. I made haste, and did not delay to keep Your commandments. The cords of the wicked have bound me, but I have not forgotten Your law. At midnight I will rise to give thanks to You, because of Your righteous judgments. I am a companion of all who fear You, and of those who keep Your precepts. The earth, O Lord, is full of Your mercy; teach me Your statutes. You have dealt well with Your servant, O Lord, according to Your Word. Teach me good judgment and knowledge, for I believe Your commandments. Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now I keep Your Word. You are good, and do good; teach me Your statutes. The proud have forged a lie against me, but I will keep Your precepts with my whole heart. Their heart is as fat as grease, but I delight in Your law. It is good for me that I have been afflicted, that I may learn Your statutes. The law of Your mouth is better to me than thousands of coins of gold and silver. Your hands have made me and fashioned me; give me understanding, that I may learn Your commandments. Those who fear You will be glad when they see me, because I have hoped in Your Word. I know, O Lord, that Your judgments are right, and that in faithfulness You have afflicted me. Let, I pray, Your merciful kindness be for my comfort, according to Your Word to Your servant. Let Your tender mercies come to me, that I may live; for Your law is my delight. Let the proud be ashamed, for they treated me wrongfully with falsehood; but I will meditate on Your precepts. Let those who fear You turn to me, those who know Your testimonies. Let my heart be blameless regarding Your statutes, that I may not be ashamed. My soul faints for Your salvation, but I hope in Your Word. My eyes fail from searching Your Word, saying, “When will You comfort me?” For I have become like a wineskin in smoke, yet I do not forget Your statutes. How many are the days of Your servant? When will You execute judgment on those who persecute me? The proud have dug pits for me, which is not according to Your law. All Your commandments are faithful; they persecute me wrongfully; help me! They almost made an end of me on earth, but I did not forsake Your precepts. Revive me according to Your lovingkindness, so that I may keep the testimony of Your mouth. Forever, O Lord, Your Word is settled in heaven. Your faithfulness endures to all generations; You established the earth, and it abides. They continue this day according to Your ordinances, for all are Your servants. Unless Your law had been my delight, I would then have perished in my affliction. I will never forget Your precepts, for by them You have given me life. I am Yours, save me; for I have sought Your precepts. The wicked wait for me to destroy me, but I will consider Your testimonies. I have seen the consummation of all perfection, but Your commandment is exceedingly broad. Oh, how I love Your law! It is my meditation all the day. You, through Your commandments, make me wiser than my enemies; for they are ever with me. I have more understanding than all my teachers, for Your testimonies are my meditation. I understand more than the ancients, because I keep Your precepts. I have restrained my feet from every evil way, that I may keep Your Word. I have not departed from Your judgments, for You Yourself have taught me. How sweet are Your Words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth! Through Your precepts I get understanding; therefore I hate every false way. Your Word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. I have sworn and confirmed that I will keep Your righteous judgments. I am afflicted very much; revive me, O Lord, according to Your Word. Accept, I pray, the freewill offerings of my mouth, O Lord, and teach me Your judgments. My life is continually in my hand, yet I do not forget Your law. The wicked have laid a snare for me, yet I have not strayed from Your precepts. Your testimonies I have taken as a heritage forever, for they are the rejoicing of my heart. I have inclined my heart to perform Your statutes forever, to the very end. 
I hate the double-minded, but I love Your law. You are my hiding place and my shield; I hope in Your Word. Depart from me, you evildoers, for I will keep the commandments of my God! Uphold me according to Your Word, that I may live; and do not let me be ashamed of my hope. Hold me up, and I shall be safe, and I shall observe Your statutes continually. You reject all those who stray from Your statutes, for their deceit is falsehood. You put away all the wicked of the earth like dross; therefore I love Your testimonies. My flesh trembles for fear of You, and I am afraid of Your judgments. I have done justice and righteousness; do not leave me to my oppressors. Be surety for Your servant for good; do not let the proud oppress me. My eyes fail from seeking Your salvation and Your righteous word. Deal with Your servant according to Your mercy, and teach me Your statutes. I am Your servant; give me understanding, that I may know Your testimonies. It is time for You to act, O Lord, for they have regarded Your law as void. Therefore I love Your commandments more than gold, yes, than fine gold! Therefore all Your precepts concerning all things I consider to be right; I hate every false way. Your testimonies are wonderful; therefore my soul keeps them. The entrance of Your Words gives light; it gives understanding to the simple. I opened my mouth and panted, for I longed for Your commandments. Look upon me and be merciful to me, as Your custom is toward those who love Your name. Direct my steps by Your Word, and let no iniquity have dominion over me. Redeem me from the oppression of man, that I may keep Your precepts. Make Your face shine upon Your servant, and teach me Your statutes. Rivers of water run down from my eyes, because men do not keep Your law. 
Righteous are You, O Lord, and upright are Your judgments. Your testimonies, which You have commanded, are righteous and very faithful. My zeal has consumed me, because my enemies have forgotten Your Words. Your Word is very pure; therefore Your servant loves it. I am small and despised, yet I do not forget Your precepts. Your righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and Your law is truth. Trouble and anguish have overtaken me, yet Your commandments are my delights. The righteousness of Your testimonies is everlasting; give me understanding, and I shall live. I cry out with my whole heart; hear me, O Lord! I will keep Your statutes. I cry out to You; save me, and I will keep Your testimonies. I rise before the dawning of the morning, and cry for help; I hope in Your Word. My eyes are awake through the night watches, that I may meditate on Your Word. Hear my voice according to Your lovingkindness; O Lord, revive me according to Your justice. They draw near who follow after wickedness; they are far from Your law. You are near, O Lord, and all Your commandments are truth. Concerning Your testimonies, I have known of old that You have founded them forever. 
Consider my affliction and deliver me, for I do not forget Your law. Plead my cause and redeem me; revive me according to Your Word. Salvation is far from the wicked, for they do not seek Your statutes. Great are Your tender mercies, O Lord; revive me according to Your judgments. Many are my persecutors and my enemies, yet I do not turn from Your testimonies. I see the treacherous, and am disgusted, because they do not keep Your Word. Consider how I love Your precepts; revive me, O Lord, according to Your lovingkindness. The entirety of Your Word is truth, and every one of Your righteous judgments endures forever. Princes persecute me without a cause, but my heart stands in awe of Your Word. I rejoice at Your Word as one who finds great treasure. I hate and abhor lying, but I love Your law. Seven times a day I praise You, because of Your righteous judgments. Great peace have those who love Your law, and nothing causes them to stumble. Lord, I hope for Your salvation, and I do Your commandments. My soul keeps Your testimonies, and I love them exceedingly. I keep Your precepts and Your testimonies, for all my ways are before You. Let my cry come before You, O Lord; give me understanding according to Your Word. Let my supplication come before You; deliver me according to Your Word. My lips shall utter praise, for You teach me Your statutes. My tongue shall speak of Your Word, for all Your commandments are righteousness. Let Your hand become my help, for I have chosen Your precepts. I long for Your salvation, O Lord, and Your law is my delight. Let my soul live, and it shall praise You; and let Your judgments help me. I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek Your servant, For I do not forget Your commandments. 

=Purity Part Five: Purified in the Spirit=

<blockquote>
"Thus says The Lord, concerning baptism: Let My beloved first be baptized in spirit and in truth, filled with the knowledge of The Holy, nourished by the Word of Truth. Let them come to Me in sincere repentance, and receive forgiveness of sins in The Messiah’s name... All burdens lifted, immersed and purified in the Spirit of God. For The Holy One of Israel is He who baptizes with the Holy Spirit and with fire, and He knows His own." (From "[[Be Baptized in The Living Waters of Spirit and Truth]]")
</blockquote>

"And though these have sinned in the body, as all men, they are fully immersed in the Spirit of Truth, enveloped in The Son’s sacrifice, cleansed in the blood of The Lamb... Behold the chosen vessels of The Lord. They are washed and made clean, both in body and spirit, remade, vessels of honor, meet for The Master’s use." (From “[[Chosen Vessels]]”)

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. And those who are Messiah’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. (Galatians 5:22-25)

"For you do always hold out the hand against the cleansing of the Spirit, you do always reject the Word of The Lord!" (From “[[I Am Calling You Out! (Part 2)... Come Out of the Churches of Men and I Will Receive You! Says The Lord]]”)

Having one’s mind controlled by the old nature is death, but having one’s mind controlled by the Spirit is life and shalom. (Romans 8:6)

"This question was asked of The Lord, regarding Luke 15:11-32: Lord, have I become hard like the older son? Have I put my hand to tasks, and forgotten to build up compassion for those who have gone astray? Is this story meant to convict me, Lord? 
[The Lord answered] If your heart is convicted, then has it not also given answer to your prayer already, revealing the Spirit which dwells within you, of what sort it is? For only the Spirit of Truth will bring forth conviction unto righteousness, bearing much fruit in The Beloved, says The Lord." (From “[https://www.thevolumesoftruth.com/Words_To_Live_By..._More_Words_of_Wisdom_From_The_Lord,_Our_God_and_Savior#The_Spirit_of_Truth_Brings_Conviction The Spirit of Truth Brings Conviction]”)

And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of The Lord YahuShua and by the Spirit of our God. (1 Corinthians 6:11)

"Beloved, let your tears flow when the Spirit convicts you. Let them cleanse your eyes so you may see, as your heart is set free. And no more resist the cleansing of The Lord."

=Purity Part Six: Purified Through the Blood of Messiah=

"Therefore, I ask you, what defilement remains? For what The Lord has cleansed, in the blood of The Lamb, is a new creation - virgin... 
All men are defiled, having fallen into all manner of diverse temptations; there is none righteous in all the earth, no, not one. Yet all who repent, in sincerity and in truth, are cleansed in the blood of The Lamb, which is pure and holy. Therefore, those whom I have called to be My witnesses must become pure in heart and in spirit, set apart from the world and the churches of men, who cease not from polluting My name and marring My image before the people." (From “[[All Have Been Purchased... Yet Few Have Accepted, Few Are Chosen]]”)

Then one of the elders answered, saying to me, “Who are these arrayed in white robes, and where did they come from?” And I said to him, “Sir, you know.” So he said to me, “These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb." (Revelation 7:13-14)

"Yet understand this, all you haughty scholars and prideful teachers, even all you who call of yourselves Christian who make arrogant assertions without knowledge, you lack trust and have no understanding! Nor do you know your God, nor that covenant written in My own blood, which is The New and Everlasting Covenant. For I died; behold, I am risen! I am alive forevermore! Amen! And as I live, so shall the penitent man live. Even if he should turn and stumble, his salvation is in no wise lost to him. For he has an Advocate with The Father, One who stands in his place, having already paid the full price for his transgression; behold, his sin is remembered no more, cast into a dark sea of forgetfulness! And oh how blessed are those who strive always to make their repentance full, says The Lord... 
They shall come to Me by great tribulation and shall be made white in My own blood, bringing glory to My name, even the name of The Father who is in Heaven, the name We share. And they shall all become one flock, with one Shepherd. Behold, I shall be their God, and they shall be My people, forever! Says The Lord." (From “[[Salvation Is Given and Must Be Received; Once Received, Forever Shall It Belong to the Redeemed]]”)

For if the blood of bulls and goats and the ashes of a heifer, sprinkling the unclean, sanctifies for the purifying of the flesh, how much more shall the blood of Messiah, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? (Hebrews 9:13-14)

"Therefore I have gathered to Myself a special offering, of the number, empty vessels void of all doctrine taught within the churches of men. And though these have sinned in the body, as all men, they are fully immersed in the Spirit of Truth, enveloped in The Son’s sacrifice, cleansed in the blood of The Lamb... Behold the chosen vessels of The Lord. They are washed and made clean, both in body and spirit, remade, vessels of honor, meet for The Master’s use. Behold, they are filled with the pure water, of which they shall continually pour into the cups of the thirsty. I AM THE LORD." (From “[[Chosen Vessels]]”)

"Your sins are forgiven you; today’s, yesterday’s, and yes, even those sins of tomorrow are forgiven those of a sincere and penitent heart. For by the blood of My Only Begotten Son are you made clean; by His shed blood are you made worthy, by His suffering are you purged and by His stripes are you healed. Therefore one who asks anything in The Messiah’s name, in accordance with My will, shall surely have it, starting with the forgiveness of sins." (From “The Promise”)

But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of YahuShua HaMashiach His Son cleanses us from all sin. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. (1 John 1:7-9)

"Beloved, heed My words and listen closely to My speech; for thus says The Lord to the church at His right hand, if you do indeed seek to remain at My right hand: Forbear not, nor reject My Word spoken to this generation, lest I leave you unto refinement also. For your robes have been made white, washed in the blood of The Lamb." (From “[[Under God]]”)

Therefore, brothers and sisters, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of YahuShua, by a new and living way opened for us through the curtain, that is, his body, and since we have a great priest over the house of God, let us draw near to God with a sincere heart and with the full assurance that faith brings, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for He who promised is faithful. (Hebrews 10:19-23)

"Beloved, where in The Commandments have I written all must be baptized by men to be saved? Baptism is indeed good, if it is a confession poured out from one’s heart in pure belief, an outward act of faith revealing one’s acceptance of their forgiveness in The Messiah. For the water of the earth can only cleanse that which is soiled on the skin. By no means can it cleanse that which is soiled in the spirit; this is reserved for the blood of The Lamb." (From “[[The True Baptism]]”)

When Moses had proclaimed every command of the law to all the people, he took the blood of calves, together with water, scarlet wool and branches of hyssop, and sprinkled the scroll and all the people. He said, “This is the blood of the covenant, which God has commanded you to keep.” In the same way, he sprinkled with the blood both the tabernacle and everything used in its ceremonies. In fact, the law requires that nearly everything be cleansed with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness. It was necessary, then, for the copies of the heavenly things to be purified with these sacrifices, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. For Messiah did not enter a sanctuary made with human hands that was only a copy of the true one; He entered Heaven itself, now to appear for us in God’s presence. Nor did He enter Heaven to offer Himself again and again, the way the high priest enters the Most Holy Place every year with blood that is not his own. Otherwise Messiah would have had to suffer many times since the creation of the world. But He has appeared once for all at the culmination of the ages to do away with sin by the sacrifice of Himself. Just as people are destined to die once, and after that to face judgment, so Messiah was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many; and He will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for Him. (Hebrews 9:19-28) 

==I Am The Passover and The Lamb, The New Covenant with Men==
Thus says The Messiah who is called Christ, The Holy One of Israel: I am The Lamb of God without spot or blemish, the blood which was shed and placed upon the doorposts, delivering My people from the power of sin, which is death. I am The Passover. 
For as it is written in The Law, all things must be purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there can be no remission. Thus no one goes to The Father, unless they receive of Me. Unless they eat My flesh and drink My blood, they have no life in them. For whosoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has everlasting life, and I will raise them up at the Last Day. For My flesh is food indeed, and My blood is drink indeed. Thus all who eat My flesh and drink My blood live in Me, and I in them. 
I am The Living Bread which came down from Heaven! If anyone eats this bread, he will live forever! And the bread that I gave was My flesh, which was given for the life of the world. This I have already told you. Therefore keep the Passover in remembrance of Me and My Passion, according to The New Covenant. For it is accomplished, and was sealed forevermore upon My resurrection. For The Lamb was slain, My people redeemed in all the earth; and behold, I am risen, crowned with glory and honor, forever and ever. Amen.

Therefore, again I say to you, celebrate Passover, yet not as in the days of Moses; nor as the unbelieving in Israel, upon whom the veil remains, for they have yet to look upon Me. For the Passover was a signpost, a shadow of glorious things to come. Read the writing thereof and have understanding, take its meaning to heart. For the Holy Days are revelation, the Plan of the Ages revealed.

Therefore rejoice, My people, for your Redeemer lives! 
Death has passed over you!...

Therefore eat, drink, and give thanks 
In remembrance of Me, and I shall also 
Remember you in the day I gather My own...

Then shall you truly know Me, 
Just as I have always known you, 
Even from the foundation of the world...

Says He who is, and was, and is to come, 
YahuShua, The Salvation of God. (From “[[I Am The Passover and The Lamb, The New Covenant with Men]]”)

=Purity Part One: Purity is Important to God=
<html5media>https://www.thevolumesoftruth.com/images/9/9f/Purity_Part_One_Purity_is_Important_to_God_1.1-1.4_%28read_by_text-to-speech%29.mp3</html5media>
"And you, even you who are called Christian, you also shall be tried. For as silver purified in the furnace seven times, so shall I purify you until I have burned away the dross, until you also become a holy people set apart for My name, grafted in. For I must refine My people and separate My flocks, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats, as the hired man calls them out from amongst them. For I am The Shepherd, and in My servants I shall surely dwell." (From “[[My Word Is Fire]]”)

Let no one despise your youth, but be an example to the believers in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity. (1 Timothy 4:12)

"Therefore, thus says The Holy One of Israel: Beloved, I have spoken to you firmly, and with a stern voice I have declared the controversy of The Lord; with a multitude of words and unending mercy, I have spoken and shall continue to speak. For I am The Lord, and I do not change. I do what is right, I alone know what is most needful. 
Thus I have called for a right heart within My servants, for My people to walk in My ways without reservation.” (From “[[I Am Calling You Out! (Part 1)]]”)

"So then, do I call you to serve Me? I do, if you are willing to serve Me in all righteousness, without compromise. Do I then require that you be perfect? No. For there is none perfect, save The Holy One of Israel. Rather I require that you strive to be unto Me a servant of pure heart, of pure intention, a disciple who loves Me with all his heart, understanding and strength, and also loves his neighbor as himself. For it is written and remains standing, that one can not be crowned unless they strive lawfully.” (From “[[Blessed Are Those Who Overcome for My Name’s Sake]]”) 

==Purity of Heart and Mind==
<ul>
<li>Purifying your heart and mind is the first and most important step.</li>
</ul>

How can a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed according to Your word. (Psalm 119:9)

He who loves purity of heart and has grace on his lips, the king will be his friend. (Proverbs 22:11)

"Therefore, run to Me at all times and in every season, My sons, and cease not from humbling yourselves before Me. Purify your hearts and purge your minds, for it is time. Open your mouths in silence, and breathe Me in. Pour your hearts upon the floor, empty out every chamber. Purge your bowels, and let your innards grumble and make a great noise. Let your palates dry up for thirst, and drink no more from all these polluted fountains. Plug your ears, that the noise of this world goes silent, and cover your eyes, that you may no more look upon all these abominations, and wait upon Me. 
Beloved, your body is My temple; now prepare My place before Me. For from the womb did I set you apart; before your flesh was formed, I knew you and chose you for My purpose. Therefore consider My words, and make your decision, and I shall surely finish it, says The Lord." (From “Called According to The Lord’s Purpose”) 

==Purity of Life==
<ul>
<li>Purity of life includes doing those outward things which would be pleasing to The Lord, and letting go of everything which is not pleasing. (This includes what you watch on TV and the internet, movies, and music, etc.) This is the second step regarding purity. First one must purify their mind and heart; then purifying your outward life is easier, even a by-product of purifying your heart and mind.</li>
</ul>

"Thus says The Lord YahuShua: Beloved, a sincere desire to be free from the iniquity of this world is good and well-pleasing to The Lord. For one who truly loves Me seeks to please Me." (From “[[Obey God]]”)

"For these know Me, and I live in them. And together we shall walk, choosing the good and refusing the evil, until we walk together anew in My kingdom, says The Lord." (From “[https://www.thevolumesoftruth.com/Words_To_Live_By..._More_Words_of_Wisdom_From_The_Lord,_Our_God_and_Savior#Walking_Together_in_The_Father.E2.80.99s_Joy Walking Together in The Father’s Joy]”)
 

==Living Sacrifices==
From YahuShua HaMashiach, Our Lord and Savior 
The Word of The Lord Spoken to Timothy

Thus says The Lord: My children, do you love Me? Then do as I command you. Grow wise in Me, and live according to My Word, even according to all these Letters I have given you, by which I have set all these crooked paths straight. For My every word is Scripture, My every Letter truth. Be cognizant of My comings and goings. For I have indeed come to live in those who have received of Me, those who obey My voice and embrace Me as I truly am. 
Again, I say to you, honor Me first with your ways, then with your mouth. For honor only spoken of is but wind, the veil of the hypocrite who knows not where he is going, having no remorse over where he has been. For how can one who professes to love Me live contrary to Me? Beloved ones, I love you as I love The Father. In the same way, whoever loves Me loves The Father also. I obey The Father in all things, because I love The Father and The Father is in Me. Likewise those who are truly My disciples obey My voice, because they love Me and I live in them. 
So then, walk in My ways and be for Me examples, letting your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in Heaven, as it is written. Beloved ones, show them the Way by your faith and obedience, that they too may come to walk beside Me, even upon the Highway of Holiness, each at their appointed time, each in due season. For I tell you the truth, to walk where The Son of God walks, you must become like Me; crucifying your lives of old, separating yourselves from the bitter enmity which is of this world and the churches of men, living sacrifices who seek to please The Father in all their ways. 
For it is written: If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? Therefore, those who strive to hold onto their life in this world will lose it, having already become dead men’s bones in a wasteland of many sorrows, leading and following others on the wide path to destruction.

Beloved, what are all these things of this world compared with your life? What is their worth? And what of all these works of man? Are they not passing away? Again I ask you, what is their value? I tell you the truth, whoever loves anything in this world, more than Me, is not worthy of Me. For I am The Only Way, The Only Truth and The Only Life. There is nothing apart from Me.

Therefore come and follow Me, 
For I am called Jesus The Christ...

My name: YahuShua HaMashiach...

The only name under Heaven 
By which you must be saved.

 

~ From: "[[Living Sacrifices]]" 

==To Achieve Purity of Heart and Mind, One Must Continually Call Upon The Lord in Prayer==
"You have indeed chosen Me, says The Lord, even as I have chosen you. Yet understand this: I will no more share you, I will no more be divided in you. Decide, make the decision, draw the line in the sand! Rebuke temptation in My name; say to temptation and he who is the tempter, “YOU SHALL PROCEED NO FURTHER!”... “I am The Lord’s! And I will no more give myself to diverse lusts, to the cares and deceits of my flesh and this world... I AM THE LORD’S! My heart, it is The Lord’s; My mind, it is The Lord’s; My will, it is The Lord’s; My flesh, it is The Lord’s; the whole of my body, even all I am, I give to The Lord... I am The Lord’s! Yea, I pour out my life before The Lord, even as He poured out His; let me receive it! In the name of My Love, I call out in YahuShua’s name, I ask to receive it!... YahuShua, My Life and My Righteousness, I want Your life!... My Lord and my God, I am yours! Do with me as You please, according to the good pleasure of Your will. I give myself away. Amen.”" (From “Poured Out”)

Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. Make me hear joy and gladness, that the bones You have broken may rejoice. Hide Your face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities. Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. (Psalm 51:7-10)

"Take my life, it’s Yours! You offered Yourself up to suffering and death, on account of what I have done. I deserve my punishment, yet You bore my sins upon the tree, even the sins of those I love. I can not approach Your love, but by any and all means, I shall strive to show You my love and my gratitude. I leave my heart open to You; mold it, create in me a pure heart, for I long to see Your face. Renew in me a right spirit, that I may be steadfast for Your purpose and walk in Your ways." (From “My Redeemer Lives”) 

=Purity Part Two: Avoiding Sin=
<html5media>https://www.thevolumesoftruth.com/images/2/29/Purity_Part_Two_Avoiding_Sin_2.1-2.4_%28read_by_text-to-speech%29.mp3</html5media>
<ul>
<li>In order for one to seek purity effectively, you must first be able to identify sin. Sin is anything which goes against God, His Law, His will, His spirit or His commands. To disobey God is sin... Therefore, obey God.</li>
</ul>

Yet those who love Me obey My commands and give heed to the leading of My spirit, for the two are in agreement. It is written: God is love. And if I am love, then obey Me as I have loved you; remember My decrees and obey My Commandments. Reveal to every onlooker that I am indeed your First Love, and I alone deserve your worship. (From “[[Do Not Be Tempted by the World, For Its Ways Lead Only to Blasphemy and Sin]]”)

Thus says The Risen Lamb: Therefore, as I have unleavened all men by My sacrifice, in the same way must those who live in Me crucify their lives daily, bearing their cross after Me. For the first six days of the feast shall be for a physical representation of My command to you: You are forgiven, now go out and sin no more. Be then separate from the ways of this world and the churches of men, and be for Me a strange and peculiar people who remain in My love, even as I kept The Father’s commands and remain in His love. (From “[[Unleavened]]”) 

==The Ten Commandments - God’s Holy Law==
<ul>
<li>To break any of The Commandments is a sin. Therefore, keep The Commandments.</li>
</ul>

And God spoke all these words: “I am The Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. You shall have no other gods before me. You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, The Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments. You shall not misuse the name of The Lord your God, for The Lord will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name. 
Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a sabbath to The Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your male or female servant, nor your animals, nor any foreigner residing in your towns. For in six days The Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore The Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy. 
Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land The Lord your God is giving you. You shall not murder. You shall not commit adultery. You shall not steal. You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor. You shall not covet your neighbor’s house. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his male or female servant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.” (Exodus 20:1-17)

Therefore, this is how you shall know the children of God: They keep The Commandments and have the Testimony of YahuShua The Messiah, who is called Jesus and Christ. For if one comes and has the Testimony, yet seeks not to keep The Commandments of God, he is a liar and shall be found as such in the Day of The Lord. And if one comes, saying, “Keep The Commandments,” yet has not the Testimony of YahuShua The Messiah, this one also shall be found a liar. (From “[[Thus Says The Lord, by The Spirit of Truth: Obey The Commandments]]”; Revelation 12:17, Revelation 14:12, 1 John 2:4)

"For I have written The Law in the hearts of all men; all are able to discern right from wrong. Thus they choose to rebel; they remain in their sins. For I have indeed written it, even on tablets of stone and within the heart of man, and within the pages of My Book it is made plain. Thus they are without excuse. 
For I am God alone, The Righteous One. I alone am holy, just and good; I alone have divided right from wrong; I alone have established The Law and define what is sin. Behold, I expose the darkness and bring all hidden things into the light. For I alone sit as Judge, The Only Faithful and True Witness." (From “[[I Shall Correct and Discipline All Those I Love]]”)

"Therefore, keeping The Law is a reflection of My own spirit in you. For anyone who says, “I am in The Lord and He is in Me,” while forsaking The Law, is a liar, and will be found as such in the Day of Reckoning. For I AM WHO I AM, the same and unchanging, nor do I stand divided against Myself. Yet My children do continually use My name and that gift given them as a sword by which they attempt to justify their sins, which I hate! Desecration! Thus until the Day be fulfilled, let those who do wickedly continue therein, and let those who seek righteousness walk therein, until the harvest is complete. But oh how blessed are those who have received of Grace, and seek to please The Father by obeying His Law, and teach men so... Grace AND The Law." (From “[[You Shall Not Use Grace as a Sword, By Which You Attempt to Slay The Moral Law]]”)

"Shall My people reach toward Heaven with their hands, while their feet continue to tread the wide path which leads to destruction? And how shall one who loves Me take My hand and walk beside Me, with one foot on the good ground and the other in the grave? 
Therefore knowledge must increase, and sin decrease, to enter The Kingdom of Heaven. For one who is under grace bears fruit of the same; and The One who kept The Law of The Father revealed that grace by works. So then, Grace is first and everlasting. Then comes works, the first works done in faith, even the first fruits bore in your lives... Which is to love The Father and one another, by keeping The Law, says The Lord." (From “[https://www.thevolumesoftruth.com/Words_To_Live_By..._More_Words_of_Wisdom_From_The_Lord,_Our_God_and_Savior#Grace_AND_The_Moral_Law Grace AND The Moral Law]”)

"For it is written and remains standing, that one can not be crowned unless they strive lawfully... 
My son, I am the fulfillment of The Law, the very goal at which the Torah aims. Thus all those who embrace Me are freed from the curse of The Law, but by no means are they now free to forsake The Law. Rather let The Law be written in your heart, for now you are under grace, and by the power of My own spirit are you now able to keep The Law... Beloved, come to Me and receive! Let Me wash you and make you clean, that you may now arise and walk in My ways." (From “[[Blessed Are Those Who Overcome for My Name’s Sake]]”)

Therefore hear the Word of The Lord and give heed, for thus declares The Lord: One Commandment broken are all Commandments broken. One sin committed in The Messiah’s name are all sins accounted to you. One sin repented in His name, all are forgiven you. For I know your thoughts, My children, even your innermost intentions, and I know whether or not you are fully converted in your hearts. And though you may lie to yourselves, and bear false witness in the sight of many witnesses, nothing is hidden from the eyes of God - every lie exposed, every heart laid bare, in the Day I rise up and judge the earth. 
Come to Me, therefore, in sincerity and in truth; humble yourselves in The Messiah’s name. For He is The True Light, utterly void of darkness, The Only Way to follow, The Truth Absolute; by Him alone shall you walk into everlasting life. For only those who walk in Him shall find Me,  and only those in union with Him shall know Me, says The Lord. (From “[[Transgression]]”) 

==Other Sins==
<ul>
<li>There are sins, which are not specifically listed in The Ten Commandments. They are more subtle, and thus easily dismissed by some. However, ALL sin requires forgiveness, no matter how seemingly large or small.</li>
</ul>

Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are: immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, disputes, dissensions, factions, envying, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these, of which I forewarn you, just as I have forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. (Galatians 5:19-21)

These six things The Lord hates, yes, seven are an abomination to Him: A proud look, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that are swift in running to evil, a false witness who speaks lies, and one who sows discord among brethren. (Proverbs 6:16-19)

But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away! (2 Timothy 3:1-5) 

==All Sin Is Sin, and Requires Forgiveness; Repent, and Ask For Forgiveness, and It Shall Be Given==
"Thus says The Lord: It is the penitent man who shall know God, and penitent you must be; die to yourselves daily. Cast off the skin of this world and walk with Me as I am, and not as you would have Me be. 
Beloved ones, do you long to obey? Then obey. Do you wish to stay clean? Then stay clean. Doubt is your enemy, doubt is a stone of stumbling at your feet. For I tell you the truth, one whose faith has come to completion, having received the full revelation of who I am, will not sin. For only the face of The Holy One is before their eyes. 
Beloved ones, only One is without sin, The Son of Man. Yet the desire to sin is still within you, and now also The Truth, and so the battle rages. Therefore, beware. For doubt leads to disobedience, and to disobey God is sin, and the penalty of sin is death. Yet I have overcome death, having written your name in the Book of Life from the very foundation of the world. What is left then? Only the death of sin itself, and the passing away of death. 
Beloved, cast off your sins, depart quickly from temptation, and to the accuser turn a deaf ear. For I tell you the truth, evil has lost its grip on the redeemed. Therefore hear My words, and also do them; give heed to My speech, and embrace all I have given you; drink deeply from this cup, and be created anew, says The Lord your Redeemer." (From “[[A Stone of Stumbling]]”)

If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. (1 John 1:9)

Who is a God like You, pardoning iniquity and passing over the transgression of the remnant of His heritage? He does not retain His anger forever, because He delights in mercy. He will again have compassion on us, and will subdue our iniquities. You will cast all our sins into the depths of the sea. (Micah 7:18-19)

He who covers his sins will not prosper, but whoever confesses and forsakes them will have mercy. (Proverbs 28:13)

In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace. (Ephesians 1:7)

"My son, I died for the forgiveness of your sins - those of today, yesterday, and those sins of tomorrow. Yet man does continually stumble over his flesh, being tempted in a world filled with sin. And so he must continually come to Me, and even seventy times seven times shall I cleanse him and lift him up." (From “[[Born Again]]”)

"Thus says The Lord to His servant: Timothy, your sins are forgiven you; today’s, yesterday’s, and yes, even those sins of tomorrow are forgiven those of a sincere and penitent heart. For by the blood of My Only Begotten Son are you made clean; by His shed blood are you made worthy, by His suffering are you purged and by His stripes are you healed. Therefore one who asks anything in The Messiah’s name, in accordance with My will, shall surely have it, starting with the forgiveness of sins." (From “The Promise”)

"My son, I carried the infirmities of all those who came to Me in faith. In the same way, I carried their sin though I had no part in sin Myself. I am completely clean, and because of this, all who come to Me in sincerity and in truth are clean also. 
My son, I carried the weight of the world’s sin to the cross, and crucified sin through My suffering; the penalty of sin abolished as I fell asleep, The Victory established for all time upon My rising. For I am and will always be The Perfect Lamb, without spot or blemish, given up for many... The Restoration of All Things, says The Lord." (From “[[Without Spot or Blemish]]”)

"For My grace descends upon all who repent in sincerity and in truth, and My spirit dwells within those who keep The Commandments and testify to My glory. Therefore, My son, receive of Me; then will that which you seek become clear. For your heart’s true desire can not be found in the world... Seek God!" (From “[[Seek The Lord and He Will Open The Way]]”) 

==Follow Me==
From YahuShua HaMashiach, Our Lord and Savior 
The Word of The Lord Spoken to Timothy

 

"Listen closely 
And take My words to heart, 
All you who call of yourselves Christian: 
I ask you, do you really love Me?...

Then follow Me...

Beloved ones, listen closely 
And take My words to heart, 
All you who call of yourselves Christian: 
Do you really love Me?...

Then obey My Word! Follow Me!... 
 
Beloved, listen closely 
And take My words to heart, 
All you who call of yourselves Christian: 
Do you really love Me?!...

Then heed My voice and come out!...

FOLLOW ME!"

=Purity Part Three: True Repentance=
<html5media>https://www.thevolumesoftruth.com/images/b/b9/Purity_Part_Three_-_True_Repentance_3.1-3.2_%28read_by_text-to-speech%29.mp3</html5media>
<blockquote>
If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. (1 John 1:9)
</blockquote>

<ul>
<li>What is true repentance? True repentance is two-fold: 
First, we must acknowledge our sin, and repent, asking The Lord for forgiveness. 
Second, we must strive toward purity, and endeavor to no longer sin. 
Both are required for true repentance.</li>
</ul> 

==True Repentance in The Scriptures of Truth==
Bear fruit in keeping with repentance. (Matthew 3:8)

If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land. (2 Chronicles 7:14)

But declared first to those in Damascus, then in Jerusalem and throughout all the region of Judea, and also to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, performing deeds in keeping with their repentance. (Acts 26:20)

Whoever conceals his transgressions will not prosper, but he who confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy. (Proverbs 28:13)

Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent, and do the works you did at first. If not, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place, unless you repent. (Revelation 2:5)

Bear fruits in keeping with repentance. And do not begin to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ For I tell you, God is able from these stones to raise up children for Abraham. (Luke 3:8)

Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways, declares The Lord God. Repent and turn from all your transgressions, lest iniquity be your ruin. Cast away from you all the transgressions that you have committed, and make yourselves a new heart and a new spirit! Why will you die, O house of Israel? For I have no pleasure in the death of anyone, declares The Lord God; so turn, and live. (Ezekiel 18:30-32)

But if a wicked man turns from all his sins which he has committed, keeps all My statutes, and does what is lawful and right, he shall surely live; he shall not die. None of the transgressions which he has committed shall be remembered against him; because of the righteousness which he has done, he shall live. (Ezekiel 18:21-22)

Therefore say to them, Thus declares The Lord of hosts: Return to me, says The Lord of hosts, and I will return to you, says The Lord of hosts. (Zechariah 1:3)

It may be they will listen, and every one turn from his evil way, that I may relent of the disaster that I intend to do to them because of their evil deeds. (Jeremiah 26:3)

Seek The Lord while he may be found; call upon him while he is near; let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; let him return to The Lord, that he may have compassion on him, and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. (Isaiah 55:6-7)

“Therefore come out from among them and be separate, says The Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, and I will receive you. I will be a Father to you, and you shall be My sons and daughters,” says The Lord Almighty. Therefore, having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God. (2 Corinthians 6:17-18; 7:1)

But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of YahuShua HaMashiach His Son cleanses us from all sin. (1 John 1:7)

“Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways,” declares The Lord God. “Repent and turn from all your transgressions, lest iniquity be your ruin”. (Ezekiel 18:30)

She said, “No one, Lord.” And YahuShua said, “Neither do I condemn you; go, and from now on sin no more.” (John 8:11) 

==True Repentance in The Volumes of Truth==
"Thus says The Lord YahuShua: I have cleansed My well beloved, even every vessel, as many as are willing to receive, as many as are willing to walk in My ways and make their repentance full. Yet who among you has truly received? Who among you has made every effort to cast off his old nature and walk free? Who has come to Me naked that he may be clothed in My righteousness, that I might gird him with My strength?" (From “[[Watchmen]]”)

"In repentance I am always well pleased. Therefore let the penitent now turn fully to God, and do works meet for repentance. Let them no more be as the hypocrite, but let them walk close behind Me, abiding in the shadow of The Almighty. And let the wife in her youth learn piety at home, for this is good and acceptable before God. And what more shall I speak than that which I have spoken already? Therefore believe My words, and also do them, says The Lord." (From “[[Repentance]]”)

"Thus I call upon the sons of men, even all who dwell upon the earth, to repent, to turn from your wicked ways, to bring forth new works worthy of repentance... Oh that justice would well up like water, and righteousness as an ever-flowing stream." (From “[[ABASEMENT]]”)

"Therefore call on My name and make your repentance full, by departing from those things which are not lawful, standing apart from those things I hate, and you shall surely be delivered, says The Lord." (From “[[Obey God]]”)

"If you ask of Me forgiveness, I shall surely forgive you, even for all you have done. Yet to continue in those same sins, for which you had sought forgiveness, is most unpleasant in My sight. For by doing so, you have made My forgiveness of no effect. For that which requires forgiveness is the very same from which you must depart, lest your repentance become unrepentance, crucifying Me again and again in your heart. 
For repentance is more than the asking. It must come from a deep desire to be set free in My love, followed by a sincere unyielding commitment to make your love perfect through your obedience, the shedding of the skin of this world, the crucifying of your old man with his sinful ways... The putting on of the new man who is renewed in the knowledge of The Holy One, conforming to the image of Him who created him, says The Lord." (From “[[Blessed Are Those Who Overcome for My Name’s Sake]]”)

"For those without the gate retain their sin, for they hold fast to malice and have not yet departed from wickedness. Yet the hearts of the first election are filled with compassion and a sincere desire to walk in My ways, having called upon My name in sincerity and in truth, as they bring forth new works meet for repentance." (From “[[Do This in Remembrance of Me]]”)

"For I died; behold, I am risen! I am alive forevermore! Amen! And as I live, so shall the penitent man live. Even if he should turn and stumble, his salvation is in no wise lost to him. For he has an Advocate with The Father, One who stands in his place, having already paid the full price for his transgression; behold, his sin is remembered no more, cast into a dark sea of forgetfulness!... And oh how blessed are those who strive always to make their repentance full, says The Lord." (From “[[Salvation Is Given and Must Be Received; Once Received, Forever Shall It Belong to the Redeemed]]”)

 

"Does not conviction also bring about 
Revelation in those in whom My spirit dwells? 
And when it is finished, does it not also lead to 
Repentance, producing new and righteous works?... 

A deep desire to be set free in My love, 
Followed by a sincere unyielding commitment 
To make your love perfect through obedience...

The shedding of the skin of this world, 
The crucifying of your old man with his sinful ways, 
The putting on of the new man who is renewed 
In the knowledge of The Holy One, conforming 
To the image of Him who created him?...

For this, My son, is true repentance, says The Lord."

<blockquote>
The Lord your God is a consuming fire, My every word a purifying flame! The presence of The Lord is an oppressive storm, which abases the proud and causes the high-minded to flee! And that which I have spoken to this generation, is it not a sword with which I shall strike to the heart of this people?! For I shall surely set all these crooked paths straight, and burn away the dross! 
Yet for those who trust in Me and in whom My spirit dwells, My words are like a strong tower set in the midst of battle, which can in no wise be broken down! - A great trumpet blowing upon the hill outside the city, which echoes throughout the waste places! A waving banner for this generation, a bright light, a beacon, shining in the midst of this present darkness! A rod of justice for the oppressed and the persecuted, a loosening of the chains placed upon My people, the breaking apart of every shackle!... Freedom for those who love Me, deliverance for those who understand, strength for the weak, grace to the humble, manna to nourish the penitent, says The Lord.

==The Word of God Purifies His People==
"Beloved ones, if I am He who reigns in your heart, The One of whom you testify is love and mercy, The One alone who knows all things, why do you resist My correction and seek only to embrace that which is soft? If I speak, and My words carry My spirit, put no difference between them. For everything which comes from the mouth of The Lord your God is a blessing for all... A song for all those who have ears to hear, a vision to all who have eyes to see My splendor, painted by the Word of My glory, an overflowing fountain inside those whose hearts are wide open. 
Beloved, it is time for you to truly believe without seeing, to obey My voice, whether soft or hard. It is time for you to follow your heart, and no more bow to the demands of your mind. It is time for you to embrace Me as I truly am, says The Lord." (From “[[Blessed by The Word of God]]”)

Sanctify them in the truth; your Word is truth. (John 17:17)

"Beloved, this Word, even every Volume to every Letter, is the Word of My glory which I have put forth once again; a testament of My love and sacrifice, the announcement of My coming, a proclamation of truth, revelation of who I really am - the Trumpet Call of God, so all those called and chosen may hear and come to Me in their proper time and season. 
Behold, it is also a strong correction for all those who have taken to themselves MY name and MY Word, to pollute it, a plumb line for this wicked generation. For this Word is a waving banner, an ensign to all nations! - A trumpet of alarm and war, the sound of recompense and judgment, which shall soon fall upon every nation! For I AM WHO I AM!… The Only Begotten of The Father, The One True God and Savior, The Mashiach! YAHUSHUA-YAHUWAH!" (From “[[Know That Which Has Been Poured Out, The Word of God]]”)

"For the Word of God is living and powerful; sharper than any double-edged sword, piercing to where the soul meets the spirit, cutting through to where the joint meets the bone, even to the marrow; a discerner of the thoughts, a judge of the innermost intentions! 
Therefore, let all who behold My words look upon them as an ensign, as a waving banner brought forth and set up for this wayward generation, even as a trumpet and alarm blowing continually upon the wall. Let its sound rush through the streets of the cities! Let its noise be carried into the wilderness, even to the outermost isles! And let all those who have ears to hear listen, and be silent before their God, and pray. Indeed, let all in the earth partake of My Word and be brought into deep and profound silence, and consider, says The Lord." (From “[[Let All in the Earth Be Brought into Deep and Profound Silence]]”)

Now when the tempter came to Him, he said, “If You are The Son of God, command that these stones become bread.” But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’ “ (Matthew 4:3-4)

"Therefore, as blades of grass are beset with dew in the cool of the night, even till the morning, so shall I beset you with My words - each word a glistening drop from Heaven, every letter a shining jewel. Through you shall I set all these crooked paths straight, preparing My way before Me. Indeed, I shall reveal Myself to many, and by this Word, which I shall cause you to write, shall they begin to see Me as I truly am." (From “[[Humility and The Word of God]]”)

All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work. (2 Timothy 3:16-17)

Your Word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. (Psalm 119:105)

For this reason we also thank God without ceasing, because when you received the Word of God which you heard from us, you welcomed it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the Word of God, which also effectively works in you who believe. (1 Thessalonians 2:13)

Let the Word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. (Colossians 3:16)

You are already clean because of the Word which I have spoken to you. (John 15:3) 

==Psalm 119==
Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the Lord! Blessed are those who keep His testimonies, who seek Him with the whole heart! They also do no iniquity; they walk in His ways. You have commanded us to keep Your precepts diligently. Oh, that my ways were directed to keep Your statutes! Then I would not be ashamed, when I look into all Your commandments. I will praise You with uprightness of heart, when I learn Your righteous judgments. I will keep Your statutes; oh, do not forsake me utterly! 
How can a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed according to Your Word. With my whole heart I have sought You; oh, let me not wander from Your commandments! Your Word I have hidden in my heart, that I might not sin against You! Blessed are You, O Lord! Teach me Your statutes! With my lips I have declared all the judgments of Your mouth. I have rejoiced in the way of Your testimonies, as much as in all riches. I will meditate on Your precepts, and contemplate Your ways. I will delight myself in Your statutes; I will not forget Your Word.  Deal bountifully with Your servant, that I may live and keep Your Word. Open my eyes, that I may see wondrous things from Your law. I am a stranger in the earth; do not hide Your commandments from me. My soul breaks with longing for Your judgments at all times. You rebuke the proud--the cursed, who stray from Your commandments. Remove from me reproach and contempt, for I have kept Your testimonies. Princes also sit and speak against me, but Your servant meditates on Your statutes. Your testimonies also are my delight and my counselors. My soul clings to the dust; revive me according to Your Word. I have declared my ways, and You answered me; teach me Your statutes. Make me understand the way of Your precepts; so shall I meditate on Your wondrous works. My soul melts from heaviness; strengthen me according to Your Word. Remove from me the way of lying, and grant me Your law graciously. I have chosen the way of truth; Your judgments I have laid before me. I cling to Your testimonies; O Lord, do not put me to shame! I will run the course of Your commandments, for You shall enlarge my heart. Teach me, O Lord, the way of Your statutes, and I shall keep it to the end. Give me understanding, and I shall keep Your law; Indeed, I shall observe it with my whole heart. Make me walk in the path of Your commandments, for I delight in it. Incline my heart to Your testimonies, and not to covetousness. Turn away my eyes from looking at worthless things, and revive me in Your way. Establish Your Word to Your servant, who is devoted to fearing You. Turn away my reproach which I dread, for Your judgments are good. Behold, I long for Your precepts; revive me in Your righteousness. Let Your mercies come also to me, O Lord-- Your salvation according to Your Word. So shall I have an answer for him who reproaches me, for I trust in Your Word. And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth, for I have hoped in Your ordinances. So shall I keep Your law continually, forever and ever. And I will walk at liberty, for I seek Your precepts. I will speak of Your testimonies also before kings, and will not be ashamed. And I will delight myself in Your commandments, which I love. My hands also I will lift up to Your commandments, which I love, and I will meditate on Your statutes. Remember the word to Your servant, upon which You have caused me to hope. This is my comfort in my affliction, for Your Word has given me life. The proud have me in great derision, yet I do not turn aside from Your law. I remembered Your judgments of old, O Lord, and have comforted myself. Indignation has taken hold of me because of the wicked, who forsake Your law. Your statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage. I remember Your name in the night, O Lord, and I keep Your law. This has become mine, because I kept Your precepts. 
You are my portion, O Lord; I have said that I would keep Your words. I entreated Your favor with my whole heart; be merciful to me according to Your word. I thought about my ways, and turned my feet to Your testimonies. I made haste, and did not delay to keep Your commandments. The cords of the wicked have bound me, but I have not forgotten Your law. At midnight I will rise to give thanks to You, because of Your righteous judgments. I am a companion of all who fear You, and of those who keep Your precepts. The earth, O Lord, is full of Your mercy; teach me Your statutes. You have dealt well with Your servant, O Lord, according to Your Word. Teach me good judgment and knowledge, for I believe Your commandments. Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now I keep Your Word. You are good, and do good; teach me Your statutes. The proud have forged a lie against me, but I will keep Your precepts with my whole heart. Their heart is as fat as grease, but I delight in Your law. It is good for me that I have been afflicted, that I may learn Your statutes. The law of Your mouth is better to me than thousands of coins of gold and silver. Your hands have made me and fashioned me; give me understanding, that I may learn Your commandments. Those who fear You will be glad when they see me, because I have hoped in Your Word. I know, O Lord, that Your judgments are right, and that in faithfulness You have afflicted me. Let, I pray, Your merciful kindness be for my comfort, according to Your Word to Your servant. Let Your tender mercies come to me, that I may live; for Your law is my delight. Let the proud be ashamed, for they treated me wrongfully with falsehood; but I will meditate on Your precepts. Let those who fear You turn to me, those who know Your testimonies. Let my heart be blameless regarding Your statutes, that I may not be ashamed. My soul faints for Your salvation, but I hope in Your Word. My eyes fail from searching Your Word, saying, “When will You comfort me?” For I have become like a wineskin in smoke, yet I do not forget Your statutes. How many are the days of Your servant? When will You execute judgment on those who persecute me? The proud have dug pits for me, which is not according to Your law. All Your commandments are faithful; they persecute me wrongfully; help me! They almost made an end of me on earth, but I did not forsake Your precepts. Revive me according to Your lovingkindness, so that I may keep the testimony of Your mouth. Forever, O Lord, Your Word is settled in heaven. Your faithfulness endures to all generations; You established the earth, and it abides. They continue this day according to Your ordinances, for all are Your servants. Unless Your law had been my delight, I would then have perished in my affliction. I will never forget Your precepts, for by them You have given me life. I am Yours, save me; for I have sought Your precepts. The wicked wait for me to destroy me, but I will consider Your testimonies. I have seen the consummation of all perfection, but Your commandment is exceedingly broad. Oh, how I love Your law! It is my meditation all the day. You, through Your commandments, make me wiser than my enemies; for they are ever with me. I have more understanding than all my teachers, for Your testimonies are my meditation. I understand more than the ancients, because I keep Your precepts. I have restrained my feet from every evil way, that I may keep Your Word. I have not departed from Your judgments, for You Yourself have taught me. How sweet are Your Words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth! Through Your precepts I get understanding; therefore I hate every false way. Your Word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. I have sworn and confirmed that I will keep Your righteous judgments. I am afflicted very much; revive me, O Lord, according to Your Word. Accept, I pray, the freewill offerings of my mouth, O Lord, and teach me Your judgments. My life is continually in my hand, yet I do not forget Your law. The wicked have laid a snare for me, yet I have not strayed from Your precepts. Your testimonies I have taken as a heritage forever, for they are the rejoicing of my heart. I have inclined my heart to perform Your statutes forever, to the very end. 
I hate the double-minded, but I love Your law. You are my hiding place and my shield; I hope in Your Word. Depart from me, you evildoers, for I will keep the commandments of my God! Uphold me according to Your Word, that I may live; and do not let me be ashamed of my hope. Hold me up, and I shall be safe, and I shall observe Your statutes continually. You reject all those who stray from Your statutes, for their deceit is falsehood. You put away all the wicked of the earth like dross; therefore I love Your testimonies. My flesh trembles for fear of You, and I am afraid of Your judgments. I have done justice and righteousness; do not leave me to my oppressors. Be surety for Your servant for good; do not let the proud oppress me. My eyes fail from seeking Your salvation and Your righteous word. Deal with Your servant according to Your mercy, and teach me Your statutes. I am Your servant; give me understanding, that I may know Your testimonies. It is time for You to act, O Lord, for they have regarded Your law as void. Therefore I love Your commandments more than gold, yes, than fine gold! Therefore all Your precepts concerning all things I consider to be right; I hate every false way. Your testimonies are wonderful; therefore my soul keeps them. The entrance of Your Words gives light; it gives understanding to the simple. I opened my mouth and panted, for I longed for Your commandments. Look upon me and be merciful to me, as Your custom is toward those who love Your name. Direct my steps by Your Word, and let no iniquity have dominion over me. Redeem me from the oppression of man, that I may keep Your precepts. Make Your face shine upon Your servant, and teach me Your statutes. Rivers of water run down from my eyes, because men do not keep Your law. 
Righteous are You, O Lord, and upright are Your judgments. Your testimonies, which You have commanded, are righteous and very faithful. My zeal has consumed me, because my enemies have forgotten Your Words. Your Word is very pure; therefore Your servant loves it. I am small and despised, yet I do not forget Your precepts. Your righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and Your law is truth. Trouble and anguish have overtaken me, yet Your commandments are my delights. The righteousness of Your testimonies is everlasting; give me understanding, and I shall live. I cry out with my whole heart; hear me, O Lord! I will keep Your statutes. I cry out to You; save me, and I will keep Your testimonies. I rise before the dawning of the morning, and cry for help; I hope in Your Word. My eyes are awake through the night watches, that I may meditate on Your Word. Hear my voice according to Your lovingkindness; O Lord, revive me according to Your justice. They draw near who follow after wickedness; they are far from Your law. You are near, O Lord, and all Your commandments are truth. Concerning Your testimonies, I have known of old that You have founded them forever. 
Consider my affliction and deliver me, for I do not forget Your law. Plead my cause and redeem me; revive me according to Your Word. Salvation is far from the wicked, for they do not seek Your statutes. Great are Your tender mercies, O Lord; revive me according to Your judgments. Many are my persecutors and my enemies, yet I do not turn from Your testimonies. I see the treacherous, and am disgusted, because they do not keep Your Word. Consider how I love Your precepts; revive me, O Lord, according to Your lovingkindness. The entirety of Your Word is truth, and every one of Your righteous judgments endures forever. Princes persecute me without a cause, but my heart stands in awe of Your Word. I rejoice at Your Word as one who finds great treasure. I hate and abhor lying, but I love Your law. Seven times a day I praise You, because of Your righteous judgments. Great peace have those who love Your law, and nothing causes them to stumble. Lord, I hope for Your salvation, and I do Your commandments. My soul keeps Your testimonies, and I love them exceedingly. I keep Your precepts and Your testimonies, for all my ways are before You. Let my cry come before You, O Lord; give me understanding according to Your Word. Let my supplication come before You; deliver me according to Your Word. My lips shall utter praise, for You teach me Your statutes. My tongue shall speak of Your Word, for all Your commandments are righteousness. Let Your hand become my help, for I have chosen Your precepts. I long for Your salvation, O Lord, and Your law is my delight. Let my soul live, and it shall praise You; and let Your judgments help me. I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek Your servant, For I do not forget Your commandments.

<blockquote>
"Thus says The Lord, concerning baptism: Let My beloved first be baptized in spirit and in truth, filled with the knowledge of The Holy, nourished by the Word of Truth. Let them come to Me in sincere repentance, and receive forgiveness of sins in The Messiah’s name... All burdens lifted, immersed and purified in the Spirit of God. For The Holy One of Israel is He who baptizes with the Holy Spirit and with fire, and He knows His own." (From "[[Be Baptized in The Living Waters of Spirit and Truth]]")
</blockquote>

"And though these have sinned in the body, as all men, they are fully immersed in the Spirit of Truth, enveloped in The Son’s sacrifice, cleansed in the blood of The Lamb... Behold the chosen vessels of The Lord. They are washed and made clean, both in body and spirit, remade, vessels of honor, meet for The Master’s use." (From “[[Chosen Vessels]]”)

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. And those who are Messiah’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. (Galatians 5:22-25)

"For you do always hold out the hand against the cleansing of the Spirit, you do always reject the Word of The Lord!" (From “[[I Am Calling You Out! (Part 2)... Come Out of the Churches of Men and I Will Receive You! Says The Lord]]”)

Having one’s mind controlled by the old nature is death, but having one’s mind controlled by the Spirit is life and shalom. (Romans 8:6)

"This question was asked of The Lord, regarding Luke 15:11-32: Lord, have I become hard like the older son? Have I put my hand to tasks, and forgotten to build up compassion for those who have gone astray? Is this story meant to convict me, Lord? 
[The Lord answered] If your heart is convicted, then has it not also given answer to your prayer already, revealing the Spirit which dwells within you, of what sort it is? For only the Spirit of Truth will bring forth conviction unto righteousness, bearing much fruit in The Beloved, says The Lord." (From “[https://www.thevolumesoftruth.com/Words_To_Live_By..._More_Words_of_Wisdom_From_The_Lord,_Our_God_and_Savior#The_Spirit_of_Truth_Brings_Conviction The Spirit of Truth Brings Conviction]”)

And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of The Lord YahuShua and by the Spirit of our God. (1 Corinthians 6:11)

"Beloved, let your tears flow when the Spirit convicts you. Let them cleanse your eyes so you may see, as your heart is set free. And no more resist the cleansing of The Lord." (From “[https://www.thevolumesoftruth.com/Words_To_Live_By..._More_Words_of_Wisdom_From_The_Lord,_Our_God_and_Savior#Breaking_Through_the_Barriers Breaking Through the Barriers]”)
 

=Purity Part Six: Purified Through the Blood of Messiah=
<html5media>https://www.thevolumesoftruth.com/images/a/ab/Purity_Part_Six_-_Purified_Through_the_Blood_of_Messiah_6.0-6.1_%28read_by_text-to-speech%29.mp3</html5media>
"Therefore, I ask you, what defilement remains? For what The Lord has cleansed, in the blood of The Lamb, is a new creation - virgin... 
All men are defiled, having fallen into all manner of diverse temptations; there is none righteous in all the earth, no, not one. Yet all who repent, in sincerity and in truth, are cleansed in the blood of The Lamb, which is pure and holy. Therefore, those whom I have called to be My witnesses must become pure in heart and in spirit, set apart from the world and the churches of men, who cease not from polluting My name and marring My image before the people." (From “[[All Have Been Purchased... Yet Few Have Accepted, Few Are Chosen]]”)

Then one of the elders answered, saying to me, “Who are these arrayed in white robes, and where did they come from?” And I said to him, “Sir, you know.” So he said to me, “These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb." (Revelation 7:13-14)

"Yet understand this, all you haughty scholars and prideful teachers, even all you who call of yourselves Christian who make arrogant assertions without knowledge, you lack trust and have no understanding! Nor do you know your God, nor that covenant written in My own blood, which is The New and Everlasting Covenant. For I died; behold, I am risen! I am alive forevermore! Amen! And as I live, so shall the penitent man live. Even if he should turn and stumble, his salvation is in no wise lost to him. For he has an Advocate with The Father, One who stands in his place, having already paid the full price for his transgression; behold, his sin is remembered no more, cast into a dark sea of forgetfulness! And oh how blessed are those who strive always to make their repentance full, says The Lord... 
They shall come to Me by great tribulation and shall be made white in My own blood, bringing glory to My name, even the name of The Father who is in Heaven, the name We share. And they shall all become one flock, with one Shepherd. Behold, I shall be their God, and they shall be My people, forever! Says The Lord." (From “[[Salvation Is Given and Must Be Received; Once Received, Forever Shall It Belong to the Redeemed]]”)

For if the blood of bulls and goats and the ashes of a heifer, sprinkling the unclean, sanctifies for the purifying of the flesh, how much more shall the blood of Messiah, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? (Hebrews 9:13-14)

"Therefore I have gathered to Myself a special offering, of the number, empty vessels void of all doctrine taught within the churches of men. And though these have sinned in the body, as all men, they are fully immersed in the Spirit of Truth, enveloped in The Son’s sacrifice, cleansed in the blood of The Lamb... Behold the chosen vessels of The Lord. They are washed and made clean, both in body and spirit, remade, vessels of honor, meet for The Master’s use. Behold, they are filled with the pure water, of which they shall continually pour into the cups of the thirsty. I AM THE LORD." (From “[[Chosen Vessels]]”)

"Your sins are forgiven you; today’s, yesterday’s, and yes, even those sins of tomorrow are forgiven those of a sincere and penitent heart. For by the blood of My Only Begotten Son are you made clean; by His shed blood are you made worthy, by His suffering are you purged and by His stripes are you healed. Therefore one who asks anything in The Messiah’s name, in accordance with My will, shall surely have it, starting with the forgiveness of sins." (From “The Promise”)

But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of YahuShua HaMashiach His Son cleanses us from all sin. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. (1 John 1:7-9)

"Beloved, heed My words and listen closely to My speech; for thus says The Lord to the church at His right hand, if you do indeed seek to remain at My right hand: Forbear not, nor reject My Word spoken to this generation, lest I leave you unto refinement also. For your robes have been made white, washed in the blood of The Lamb." (From “[[Under God]]”)

Therefore, brothers and sisters, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of YahuShua, by a new and living way opened for us through the curtain, that is, his body, and since we have a great priest over the house of God, let us draw near to God with a sincere heart and with the full assurance that faith brings, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for He who promised is faithful. (Hebrews 10:19-23)

"Beloved, where in The Commandments have I written all must be baptized by men to be saved? Baptism is indeed good, if it is a confession poured out from one’s heart in pure belief, an outward act of faith revealing one’s acceptance of their forgiveness in The Messiah. For the water of the earth can only cleanse that which is soiled on the skin. By no means can it cleanse that which is soiled in the spirit; this is reserved for the blood of The Lamb." (From “[[The True Baptism]]”)

When Moses had proclaimed every command of the law to all the people, he took the blood of calves, together with water, scarlet wool and branches of hyssop, and sprinkled the scroll and all the people. He said, “This is the blood of the covenant, which God has commanded you to keep.” In the same way, he sprinkled with the blood both the tabernacle and everything used in its ceremonies. In fact, the law requires that nearly everything be cleansed with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness. It was necessary, then, for the copies of the heavenly things to be purified with these sacrifices, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. For Messiah did not enter a sanctuary made with human hands that was only a copy of the true one; He entered Heaven itself, now to appear for us in God’s presence. Nor did He enter Heaven to offer Himself again and again, the way the high priest enters the Most Holy Place every year with blood that is not his own. Otherwise Messiah would have had to suffer many times since the creation of the world. But He has appeared once for all at the culmination of the ages to do away with sin by the sacrifice of Himself. Just as people are destined to die once, and after that to face judgment, so Messiah was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many; and He will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for Him. (Hebrews 9:19-28) 

==I Am The Passover and The Lamb, The New Covenant with Men==
Thus says The Messiah who is called Christ, The Holy One of Israel: I am The Lamb of God without spot or blemish, the blood which was shed and placed upon the doorposts, delivering My people from the power of sin, which is death. I am The Passover. 
For as it is written in The Law, all things must be purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there can be no remission. Thus no one goes to The Father, unless they receive of Me. Unless they eat My flesh and drink My blood, they have no life in them. For whosoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has everlasting life, and I will raise them up at the Last Day. For My flesh is food indeed, and My blood is drink indeed. Thus all who eat My flesh and drink My blood live in Me, and I in them. 
I am The Living Bread which came down from Heaven! If anyone eats this bread, he will live forever! And the bread that I gave was My flesh, which was given for the life of the world. This I have already told you. Therefore keep the Passover in remembrance of Me and My Passion, according to The New Covenant. For it is accomplished, and was sealed forevermore upon My resurrection. For The Lamb was slain, My people redeemed in all the earth; and behold, I am risen, crowned with glory and honor, forever and ever. Amen.

Therefore, again I say to you, celebrate Passover, yet not as in the days of Moses; nor as the unbelieving in Israel, upon whom the veil remains, for they have yet to look upon Me. For the Passover was a signpost, a shadow of glorious things to come. Read the writing thereof and have understanding, take its meaning to heart. For the Holy Days are revelation, the Plan of the Ages revealed.

Therefore rejoice, My people, for your Redeemer lives! 
Death has passed over you!...

Therefore eat, drink, and give thanks 
In remembrance of Me, and I shall also 
Remember you in the day I gather My own...

Then shall you truly know Me, 
Just as I have always known you, 
Even from the foundation of the world...

Says He who is, and was, and is to come, 
YahuShua, The Salvation of God. (From “[[I Am The Passover and The Lamb, The New Covenant with Men]]”)

<html5media>https://www.thevolumesoftruth.com/images/9/9f/Purity_Part_One_Purity_is_Important_to_God_1.1-1.4_%28read_by_text-to-speech%29.mp3</html5media>
"And you, even you who are called Christian, you also shall be tried. For as silver purified in the furnace seven times, so shall I purify you until I have burned away the dross, until you also become a holy people set apart for My name, grafted in. For I must refine My people and separate My flocks, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats, as the hired man calls them out from amongst them. For I am The Shepherd, and in My servants I shall surely dwell." (From “[[My Word Is Fire]]”)

Let no one despise your youth, but be an example to the believers in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity. (1 Timothy 4:12)

"Therefore, thus says The Holy One of Israel: Beloved, I have spoken to you firmly, and with a stern voice I have declared the controversy of The Lord; with a multitude of words and unending mercy, I have spoken and shall continue to speak. For I am The Lord, and I do not change. I do what is right, I alone know what is most needful. 
Thus I have called for a right heart within My servants, for My people to walk in My ways without reservation.” (From “[[I Am Calling You Out! (Part 1)]]”)

"So then, do I call you to serve Me? I do, if you are willing to serve Me in all righteousness, without compromise. Do I then require that you be perfect? No. For there is none perfect, save The Holy One of Israel. Rather I require that you strive to be unto Me a servant of pure heart, of pure intention, a disciple who loves Me with all his heart, understanding and strength, and also loves his neighbor as himself. For it is written and remains standing, that one can not be crowned unless they strive lawfully.” (From “[[Blessed Are Those Who Overcome for My Name’s Sake]]”) 

==Purity of Heart and Mind==
<ul>
<li>Purifying your heart and mind is the first and most important step.</li>
</ul>

How can a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed according to Your word. (Psalm 119:9)

He who loves purity of heart and has grace on his lips, the king will be his friend. (Proverbs 22:11)

"Therefore, run to Me at all times and in every season, My sons, and cease not from humbling yourselves before Me. Purify your hearts and purge your minds, for it is time. Open your mouths in silence, and breathe Me in. Pour your hearts upon the floor, empty out every chamber. Purge your bowels, and let your innards grumble and make a great noise. Let your palates dry up for thirst, and drink no more from all these polluted fountains. Plug your ears, that the noise of this world goes silent, and cover your eyes, that you may no more look upon all these abominations, and wait upon Me. 
Beloved, your body is My temple; now prepare My place before Me. For from the womb did I set you apart; before your flesh was formed, I knew you and chose you for My purpose. Therefore consider My words, and make your decision, and I shall surely finish it, says The Lord." (From “Called According to The Lord’s Purpose”) 

==Purity of Life==
<ul>
<li>Purity of life includes doing those outward things which would be pleasing to The Lord, and letting go of everything which is not pleasing. (This includes what you watch on TV and the internet, movies, and music, etc.) This is the second step regarding purity. First one must purify their mind and heart; then purifying your outward life is easier, even a by-product of purifying your heart and mind.</li>
</ul>

"Thus says The Lord YahuShua: Beloved, a sincere desire to be free from the iniquity of this world is good and well-pleasing to The Lord. For one who truly loves Me seeks to please Me." (From “[[Obey God]]”)

"For these know Me, and I live in them. And together we shall walk, choosing the good and refusing the evil, until we walk together anew in My kingdom, says The Lord." (From “[https://www.thevolumesoftruth.com/Words_To_Live_By..._More_Words_of_Wisdom_From_The_Lord,_Our_God_and_Savior#Walking_Together_in_The_Father.E2.80.99s_Joy Walking Together in The Father’s Joy]”)
 

==Living Sacrifices==
From YahuShua HaMashiach, Our Lord and Savior 
The Word of The Lord Spoken to Timothy

Thus says The Lord: My children, do you love Me? Then do as I command you. Grow wise in Me, and live according to My Word, even according to all these Letters I have given you, by which I have set all these crooked paths straight. For My every word is Scripture, My every Letter truth. Be cognizant of My comings and goings. For I have indeed come to live in those who have received of Me, those who obey My voice and embrace Me as I truly am. 
Again, I say to you, honor Me first with your ways, then with your mouth. For honor only spoken of is but wind, the veil of the hypocrite who knows not where he is going, having no remorse over where he has been. For how can one who professes to love Me live contrary to Me? Beloved ones, I love you as I love The Father. In the same way, whoever loves Me loves The Father also. I obey The Father in all things, because I love The Father and The Father is in Me. Likewise those who are truly My disciples obey My voice, because they love Me and I live in them. 
So then, walk in My ways and be for Me examples, letting your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in Heaven, as it is written. Beloved ones, show them the Way by your faith and obedience, that they too may come to walk beside Me, even upon the Highway of Holiness, each at their appointed time, each in due season. For I tell you the truth, to walk where The Son of God walks, you must become like Me; crucifying your lives of old, separating yourselves from the bitter enmity which is of this world and the churches of men, living sacrifices who seek to please The Father in all their ways. 
For it is written: If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? Therefore, those who strive to hold onto their life in this world will lose it, having already become dead men’s bones in a wasteland of many sorrows, leading and following others on the wide path to destruction.

Beloved, what are all these things of this world compared with your life? What is their worth? And what of all these works of man? Are they not passing away? Again I ask you, what is their value? I tell you the truth, whoever loves anything in this world, more than Me, is not worthy of Me. For I am The Only Way, The Only Truth and The Only Life. There is nothing apart from Me.

Therefore come and follow Me, 
For I am called Jesus The Christ...

My name: YahuShua HaMashiach...

The only name under Heaven 
By which you must be saved.

 

~ From: "[[Living Sacrifices]]" 

==To Achieve Purity of Heart and Mind, One Must Continually Call Upon The Lord in Prayer==
"You have indeed chosen Me, says The Lord, even as I have chosen you. Yet understand this: I will no more share you, I will no more be divided in you. Decide, make the decision, draw the line in the sand! Rebuke temptation in My name; say to temptation and he who is the tempter, “YOU SHALL PROCEED NO FURTHER!”... “I am The Lord’s! And I will no more give myself to diverse lusts, to the cares and deceits of my flesh and this world... I AM THE LORD’S! My heart, it is The Lord’s; My mind, it is The Lord’s; My will, it is The Lord’s; My flesh, it is The Lord’s; the whole of my body, even all I am, I give to The Lord... I am The Lord’s! Yea, I pour out my life before The Lord, even as He poured out His; let me receive it! In the name of My Love, I call out in YahuShua’s name, I ask to receive it!... YahuShua, My Life and My Righteousness, I want Your life!... My Lord and my God, I am yours! Do with me as You please, according to the good pleasure of Your will. I give myself away. Amen.”" (From “Poured Out”)

Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. Make me hear joy and gladness, that the bones You have broken may rejoice. Hide Your face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities. Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. (Psalm 51:7-10)

"Take my life, it’s Yours! You offered Yourself up to suffering and death, on account of what I have done. I deserve my punishment, yet You bore my sins upon the tree, even the sins of those I love. I can not approach Your love, but by any and all means, I shall strive to show You my love and my gratitude. I leave my heart open to You; mold it, create in me a pure heart, for I long to see Your face. Renew in me a right spirit, that I may be steadfast for Your purpose and walk in Your ways." (From “My Redeemer Lives”) 

=Purity Part Two: Avoiding Sin=
<html5media>https://www.thevolumesoftruth.com/images/2/29/Purity_Part_Two_Avoiding_Sin_2.1-2.4_%28read_by_text-to-speech%29.mp3</html5media>
<ul>
<li>In order for one to seek purity effectively, you must first be able to identify sin. Sin is anything which goes against God, His Law, His will, His spirit or His commands. To disobey God is sin... Therefore, obey God.</li>
</ul>

Yet those who love Me obey My commands and give heed to the leading of My spirit, for the two are in agreement. It is written: God is love. And if I am love, then obey Me as I have loved you; remember My decrees and obey My Commandments. Reveal to every onlooker that I am indeed your First Love, and I alone deserve your worship. (From “[[Do Not Be Tempted by the World, For Its Ways Lead Only to Blasphemy and Sin]]”)

Thus says The Risen Lamb: Therefore, as I have unleavened all men by My sacrifice, in the same way must those who live in Me crucify their lives daily, bearing their cross after Me. For the first six days of the feast shall be for a physical representation of My command to you: You are forgiven, now go out and sin no more. Be then separate from the ways of this world and the churches of men, and be for Me a strange and peculiar people who remain in My love, even as I kept The Father’s commands and remain in His love. (From “[[Unleavened]]”) 

==The Ten Commandments - God’s Holy Law==
<ul>
<li>To break any of The Commandments is a sin. Therefore, keep The Commandments.</li>
</ul>

And God spoke all these words: “I am The Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. You shall have no other gods before me. You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, The Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments. You shall not misuse the name of The Lord your God, for The Lord will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name. 
Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a sabbath to The Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your male or female servant, nor your animals, nor any foreigner residing in your towns. For in six days The Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore The Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy. 
Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land The Lord your God is giving you. You shall not murder. You shall not commit adultery. You shall not steal. You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor. You shall not covet your neighbor’s house. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his male or female servant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.” (Exodus 20:1-17)

Therefore, this is how you shall know the children of God: They keep The Commandments and have the Testimony of YahuShua The Messiah, who is called Jesus and Christ. For if one comes and has the Testimony, yet seeks not to keep The Commandments of God, he is a liar and shall be found as such in the Day of The Lord. And if one comes, saying, “Keep The Commandments,” yet has not the Testimony of YahuShua The Messiah, this one also shall be found a liar. (From “[[Thus Says The Lord, by The Spirit of Truth: Obey The Commandments]]”; Revelation 12:17, Revelation 14:12, 1 John 2:4)

"For I have written The Law in the hearts of all men; all are able to discern right from wrong. Thus they choose to rebel; they remain in their sins. For I have indeed written it, even on tablets of stone and within the heart of man, and within the pages of My Book it is made plain. Thus they are without excuse. 
For I am God alone, The Righteous One. I alone am holy, just and good; I alone have divided right from wrong; I alone have established The Law and define what is sin. Behold, I expose the darkness and bring all hidden things into the light. For I alone sit as Judge, The Only Faithful and True Witness." (From “[[I Shall Correct and Discipline All Those I Love]]”)

"Therefore, keeping The Law is a reflection of My own spirit in you. For anyone who says, “I am in The Lord and He is in Me,” while forsaking The Law, is a liar, and will be found as such in the Day of Reckoning. For I AM WHO I AM, the same and unchanging, nor do I stand divided against Myself. Yet My children do continually use My name and that gift given them as a sword by which they attempt to justify their sins, which I hate! Desecration! Thus until the Day be fulfilled, let those who do wickedly continue therein, and let those who seek righteousness walk therein, until the harvest is complete. But oh how blessed are those who have received of Grace, and seek to please The Father by obeying His Law, and teach men so... Grace AND The Law." (From “[[You Shall Not Use Grace as a Sword, By Which You Attempt to Slay The Moral Law]]”)

"Shall My people reach toward Heaven with their hands, while their feet continue to tread the wide path which leads to destruction? And how shall one who loves Me take My hand and walk beside Me, with one foot on the good ground and the other in the grave? 
Therefore knowledge must increase, and sin decrease, to enter The Kingdom of Heaven. For one who is under grace bears fruit of the same; and The One who kept The Law of The Father revealed that grace by works. So then, Grace is first and everlasting. Then comes works, the first works done in faith, even the first fruits bore in your lives... Which is to love The Father and one another, by keeping The Law, says The Lord." (From “[https://www.thevolumesoftruth.com/Words_To_Live_By..._More_Words_of_Wisdom_From_The_Lord,_Our_God_and_Savior#Grace_AND_The_Moral_Law Grace AND The Moral Law]”)

"For it is written and remains standing, that one can not be crowned unless they strive lawfully... 
My son, I am the fulfillment of The Law, the very goal at which the Torah aims. Thus all those who embrace Me are freed from the curse of The Law, but by no means are they now free to forsake The Law. Rather let The Law be written in your heart, for now you are under grace, and by the power of My own spirit are you now able to keep The Law... Beloved, come to Me and receive! Let Me wash you and make you clean, that you may now arise and walk in My ways." (From “[[Blessed Are Those Who Overcome for My Name’s Sake]]”)

Therefore hear the Word of The Lord and give heed, for thus declares The Lord: One Commandment broken are all Commandments broken. One sin committed in The Messiah’s name are all sins accounted to you. One sin repented in His name, all are forgiven you. For I know your thoughts, My children, even your innermost intentions, and I know whether or not you are fully converted in your hearts. And though you may lie to yourselves, and bear false witness in the sight of many witnesses, nothing is hidden from the eyes of God - every lie exposed, every heart laid bare, in the Day I rise up and judge the earth. 
Come to Me, therefore, in sincerity and in truth; humble yourselves in The Messiah’s name. For He is The True Light, utterly void of darkness, The Only Way to follow, The Truth Absolute; by Him alone shall you walk into everlasting life. For only those who walk in Him shall find Me,  and only those in union with Him shall know Me, says The Lord. (From “[[Transgression]]”) 

==Other Sins==
<ul>
<li>There are sins, which are not specifically listed in The Ten Commandments. They are more subtle, and thus easily dismissed by some. However, ALL sin requires forgiveness, no matter how seemingly large or small.</li>
</ul>

Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are: immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, disputes, dissensions, factions, envying, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these, of which I forewarn you, just as I have forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. (Galatians 5:19-21)

These six things The Lord hates, yes, seven are an abomination to Him: A proud look, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that are swift in running to evil, a false witness who speaks lies, and one who sows discord among brethren. (Proverbs 6:16-19)

But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away! (2 Timothy 3:1-5) 

==All Sin Is Sin, and Requires Forgiveness; Repent, and Ask For Forgiveness, and It Shall Be Given==
"Thus says The Lord: It is the penitent man who shall know God, and penitent you must be; die to yourselves daily. Cast off the skin of this world and walk with Me as I am, and not as you would have Me be. 
Beloved ones, do you long to obey? Then obey. Do you wish to stay clean? Then stay clean. Doubt is your enemy, doubt is a stone of stumbling at your feet. For I tell you the truth, one whose faith has come to completion, having received the full revelation of who I am, will not sin. For only the face of The Holy One is before their eyes. 
Beloved ones, only One is without sin, The Son of Man. Yet the desire to sin is still within you, and now also The Truth, and so the battle rages. Therefore, beware. For doubt leads to disobedience, and to disobey God is sin, and the penalty of sin is death. Yet I have overcome death, having written your name in the Book of Life from the very foundation of the world. What is left then? Only the death of sin itself, and the passing away of death. 
Beloved, cast off your sins, depart quickly from temptation, and to the accuser turn a deaf ear. For I tell you the truth, evil has lost its grip on the redeemed. Therefore hear My words, and also do them; give heed to My speech, and embrace all I have given you; drink deeply from this cup, and be created anew, says The Lord your Redeemer." (From “[[A Stone of Stumbling]]”)

If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. (1 John 1:9)

Who is a God like You, pardoning iniquity and passing over the transgression of the remnant of His heritage? He does not retain His anger forever, because He delights in mercy. He will again have compassion on us, and will subdue our iniquities. You will cast all our sins into the depths of the sea. (Micah 7:18-19)

He who covers his sins will not prosper, but whoever confesses and forsakes them will have mercy. (Proverbs 28:13)

In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace. (Ephesians 1:7)

"My son, I died for the forgiveness of your sins - those of today, yesterday, and those sins of tomorrow. Yet man does continually stumble over his flesh, being tempted in a world filled with sin. And so he must continually come to Me, and even seventy times seven times shall I cleanse him and lift him up." (From “[[Born Again]]”)

"Thus says The Lord to His servant: Timothy, your sins are forgiven you; today’s, yesterday’s, and yes, even those sins of tomorrow are forgiven those of a sincere and penitent heart. For by the blood of My Only Begotten Son are you made clean; by His shed blood are you made worthy, by His suffering are you purged and by His stripes are you healed. Therefore one who asks anything in The Messiah’s name, in accordance with My will, shall surely have it, starting with the forgiveness of sins." (From “The Promise”)

"My son, I carried the infirmities of all those who came to Me in faith. In the same way, I carried their sin though I had no part in sin Myself. I am completely clean, and because of this, all who come to Me in sincerity and in truth are clean also. 
My son, I carried the weight of the world’s sin to the cross, and crucified sin through My suffering; the penalty of sin abolished as I fell asleep, The Victory established for all time upon My rising. For I am and will always be The Perfect Lamb, without spot or blemish, given up for many... The Restoration of All Things, says The Lord." (From “[[Without Spot or Blemish]]”)

"For My grace descends upon all who repent in sincerity and in truth, and My spirit dwells within those who keep The Commandments and testify to My glory. Therefore, My son, receive of Me; then will that which you seek become clear. For your heart’s true desire can not be found in the world... Seek God!" (From “[[Seek The Lord and He Will Open The Way]]”) 

==Follow Me==
From YahuShua HaMashiach, Our Lord and Savior 
The Word of The Lord Spoken to Timothy

 

"Listen closely 
And take My words to heart, 
All you who call of yourselves Christian: 
I ask you, do you really love Me?...

Then follow Me...

Beloved ones, listen closely 
And take My words to heart, 
All you who call of yourselves Christian: 
Do you really love Me?...

Then obey My Word! Follow Me!... 
 
Beloved, listen closely 
And take My words to heart, 
All you who call of yourselves Christian: 
Do you really love Me?!...

Then heed My voice and come out!...

FOLLOW ME!"

<blockquote>
If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. (1 John 1:9)
</blockquote>

<ul>
<li>What is true repentance? True repentance is two-fold: 
First, we must acknowledge our sin, and repent, asking The Lord for forgiveness. 
Second, we must strive toward purity, and endeavor to no longer sin. 
Both are required for true repentance.</li>
</ul> 

==True Repentance in The Scriptures of Truth==
Bear fruit in keeping with repentance. (Matthew 3:8)

If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land. (2 Chronicles 7:14)

But declared first to those in Damascus, then in Jerusalem and throughout all the region of Judea, and also to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, performing deeds in keeping with their repentance. (Acts 26:20)

Whoever conceals his transgressions will not prosper, but he who confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy. (Proverbs 28:13)

Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent, and do the works you did at first. If not, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place, unless you repent. (Revelation 2:5)

Bear fruits in keeping with repentance. And do not begin to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ For I tell you, God is able from these stones to raise up children for Abraham. (Luke 3:8)

Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways, declares The Lord God. Repent and turn from all your transgressions, lest iniquity be your ruin. Cast away from you all the transgressions that you have committed, and make yourselves a new heart and a new spirit! Why will you die, O house of Israel? For I have no pleasure in the death of anyone, declares The Lord God; so turn, and live. (Ezekiel 18:30-32)

But if a wicked man turns from all his sins which he has committed, keeps all My statutes, and does what is lawful and right, he shall surely live; he shall not die. None of the transgressions which he has committed shall be remembered against him; because of the righteousness which he has done, he shall live. (Ezekiel 18:21-22)

Therefore say to them, Thus declares The Lord of hosts: Return to me, says The Lord of hosts, and I will return to you, says The Lord of hosts. (Zechariah 1:3)

It may be they will listen, and every one turn from his evil way, that I may relent of the disaster that I intend to do to them because of their evil deeds. (Jeremiah 26:3)

Seek The Lord while he may be found; call upon him while he is near; let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; let him return to The Lord, that he may have compassion on him, and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. (Isaiah 55:6-7)

“Therefore come out from among them and be separate, says The Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, and I will receive you. I will be a Father to you, and you shall be My sons and daughters,” says The Lord Almighty. Therefore, having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God. (2 Corinthians 6:17-18; 7:1)

But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of YahuShua HaMashiach His Son cleanses us from all sin. (1 John 1:7)

“Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways,” declares The Lord God. “Repent and turn from all your transgressions, lest iniquity be your ruin”. (Ezekiel 18:30)

She said, “No one, Lord.” And YahuShua said, “Neither do I condemn you; go, and from now on sin no more.” (John 8:11) 

==True Repentance in The Volumes of Truth==
"Thus says The Lord YahuShua: I have cleansed My well beloved, even every vessel, as many as are willing to receive, as many as are willing to walk in My ways and make their repentance full. Yet who among you has truly received? Who among you has made every effort to cast off his old nature and walk free? Who has come to Me naked that he may be clothed in My righteousness, that I might gird him with My strength?" (From “[[Watchmen]]”)

"In repentance I am always well pleased. Therefore let the penitent now turn fully to God, and do works meet for repentance. Let them no more be as the hypocrite, but let them walk close behind Me, abiding in the shadow of The Almighty. And let the wife in her youth learn piety at home, for this is good and acceptable before God. And what more shall I speak than that which I have spoken already? Therefore believe My words, and also do them, says The Lord." (From “[[Repentance]]”)

"Thus I call upon the sons of men, even all who dwell upon the earth, to repent, to turn from your wicked ways, to bring forth new works worthy of repentance... Oh that justice would well up like water, and righteousness as an ever-flowing stream." (From “[[ABASEMENT]]”)

"Therefore call on My name and make your repentance full, by departing from those things which are not lawful, standing apart from those things I hate, and you shall surely be delivered, says The Lord." (From “[[Obey God]]”)

"If you ask of Me forgiveness, I shall surely forgive you, even for all you have done. Yet to continue in those same sins, for which you had sought forgiveness, is most unpleasant in My sight. For by doing so, you have made My forgiveness of no effect. For that which requires forgiveness is the very same from which you must depart, lest your repentance become unrepentance, crucifying Me again and again in your heart. 
For repentance is more than the asking. It must come from a deep desire to be set free in My love, followed by a sincere unyielding commitment to make your love perfect through your obedience, the shedding of the skin of this world, the crucifying of your old man with his sinful ways... The putting on of the new man who is renewed in the knowledge of The Holy One, conforming to the image of Him who created him, says The Lord." (From “[[Blessed Are Those Who Overcome for My Name’s Sake]]”)

"For those without the gate retain their sin, for they hold fast to malice and have not yet departed from wickedness. Yet the hearts of the first election are filled with compassion and a sincere desire to walk in My ways, having called upon My name in sincerity and in truth, as they bring forth new works meet for repentance." (From “[[Do This in Remembrance of Me]]”)

"For I died; behold, I am risen! I am alive forevermore! Amen! And as I live, so shall the penitent man live. Even if he should turn and stumble, his salvation is in no wise lost to him. For he has an Advocate with The Father, One who stands in his place, having already paid the full price for his transgression; behold, his sin is remembered no more, cast into a dark sea of forgetfulness!... And oh how blessed are those who strive always to make their repentance full, says The Lord." (From “[[Salvation Is Given and Must Be Received; Once Received, Forever Shall It Belong to the Redeemed]]”)

 

"Does not conviction also bring about 
Revelation in those in whom My spirit dwells? 
And when it is finished, does it not also lead to 
Repentance, producing new and righteous works?... 

A deep desire to be set free in My love, 
Followed by a sincere unyielding commitment 
To make your love perfect through obedience...

The shedding of the skin of this world, 
The crucifying of your old man with his sinful ways, 
The putting on of the new man who is renewed 
In the knowledge of The Holy One, conforming 
To the image of Him who created him?...

For this, My son, is true repentance, says The Lord."

The Lord your God is a consuming fire, My every word a purifying flame! The presence of The Lord is an oppressive storm, which abases the proud and causes the high-minded to flee! And that which I have spoken to this generation, is it not a sword with which I shall strike to the heart of this people?! For I shall surely set all these crooked paths straight, and burn away the dross! 
Yet for those who trust in Me and in whom My spirit dwells, My words are like a strong tower set in the midst of battle, which can in no wise be broken down! - A great trumpet blowing upon the hill outside the city, which echoes throughout the waste places! A waving banner for this generation, a bright light, a beacon, shining in the midst of this present darkness! A rod of justice for the oppressed and the persecuted, a loosening of the chains placed upon My people, the breaking apart of every shackle!... Freedom for those who love Me, deliverance for those who understand, strength for the weak, grace to the humble, manna to nourish the penitent, says The Lord.

==The Word of God Purifies His People==
"Beloved ones, if I am He who reigns in your heart, The One of whom you testify is love and mercy, The One alone who knows all things, why do you resist My correction and seek only to embrace that which is soft? If I speak, and My words carry My spirit, put no difference between them. For everything which comes from the mouth of The Lord your God is a blessing for all... A song for all those who have ears to hear, a vision to all who have eyes to see My splendor, painted by the Word of My glory, an overflowing fountain inside those whose hearts are wide open. 
Beloved, it is time for you to truly believe without seeing, to obey My voice, whether soft or hard. It is time for you to follow your heart, and no more bow to the demands of your mind. It is time for you to embrace Me as I truly am, says The Lord." (From “[[Blessed by The Word of God]]”)

Sanctify them in the truth; your Word is truth. (John 17:17)

"Beloved, this Word, even every Volume to every Letter, is the Word of My glory which I have put forth once again; a testament of My love and sacrifice, the announcement of My coming, a proclamation of truth, revelation of who I really am - the Trumpet Call of God, so all those called and chosen may hear and come to Me in their proper time and season. 
Behold, it is also a strong correction for all those who have taken to themselves MY name and MY Word, to pollute it, a plumb line for this wicked generation. For this Word is a waving banner, an ensign to all nations! - A trumpet of alarm and war, the sound of recompense and judgment, which shall soon fall upon every nation! For I AM WHO I AM!… The Only Begotten of The Father, The One True God and Savior, The Mashiach! YAHUSHUA-YAHUWAH!" (From “[[Know That Which Has Been Poured Out, The Word of God]]”)

"For the Word of God is living and powerful; sharper than any double-edged sword, piercing to where the soul meets the spirit, cutting through to where the joint meets the bone, even to the marrow; a discerner of the thoughts, a judge of the innermost intentions! 
Therefore, let all who behold My words look upon them as an ensign, as a waving banner brought forth and set up for this wayward generation, even as a trumpet and alarm blowing continually upon the wall. Let its sound rush through the streets of the cities! Let its noise be carried into the wilderness, even to the outermost isles! And let all those who have ears to hear listen, and be silent before their God, and pray. Indeed, let all in the earth partake of My Word and be brought into deep and profound silence, and consider, says The Lord." (From “[[Let All in the Earth Be Brought into Deep and Profound Silence]]”)

Now when the tempter came to Him, he said, “If You are The Son of God, command that these stones become bread.” But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’ “ (Matthew 4:3-4)

"Therefore, as blades of grass are beset with dew in the cool of the night, even till the morning, so shall I beset you with My words - each word a glistening drop from Heaven, every letter a shining jewel. Through you shall I set all these crooked paths straight, preparing My way before Me. Indeed, I shall reveal Myself to many, and by this Word, which I shall cause you to write, shall they begin to see Me as I truly am." (From “[[Humility and The Word of God]]”)

All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work. (2 Timothy 3:16-17)

Your Word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. (Psalm 119:105)

For this reason we also thank God without ceasing, because when you received the Word of God which you heard from us, you welcomed it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the Word of God, which also effectively works in you who believe. (1 Thessalonians 2:13)

Let the Word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. (Colossians 3:16)

You are already clean because of the Word which I have spoken to you. (John 15:3) 

==Psalm 119==
Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the Lord! Blessed are those who keep His testimonies, who seek Him with the whole heart! They also do no iniquity; they walk in His ways. You have commanded us to keep Your precepts diligently. Oh, that my ways were directed to keep Your statutes! Then I would not be ashamed, when I look into all Your commandments. I will praise You with uprightness of heart, when I learn Your righteous judgments. I will keep Your statutes; oh, do not forsake me utterly! 
How can a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed according to Your Word. With my whole heart I have sought You; oh, let me not wander from Your commandments! Your Word I have hidden in my heart, that I might not sin against You! Blessed are You, O Lord! Teach me Your statutes! With my lips I have declared all the judgments of Your mouth. I have rejoiced in the way of Your testimonies, as much as in all riches. I will meditate on Your precepts, and contemplate Your ways. I will delight myself in Your statutes; I will not forget Your Word.  Deal bountifully with Your servant, that I may live and keep Your Word. Open my eyes, that I may see wondrous things from Your law. I am a stranger in the earth; do not hide Your commandments from me. My soul breaks with longing for Your judgments at all times. You rebuke the proud--the cursed, who stray from Your commandments. Remove from me reproach and contempt, for I have kept Your testimonies. Princes also sit and speak against me, but Your servant meditates on Your statutes. Your testimonies also are my delight and my counselors. My soul clings to the dust; revive me according to Your Word. I have declared my ways, and You answered me; teach me Your statutes. Make me understand the way of Your precepts; so shall I meditate on Your wondrous works. My soul melts from heaviness; strengthen me according to Your Word. Remove from me the way of lying, and grant me Your law graciously. I have chosen the way of truth; Your judgments I have laid before me. I cling to Your testimonies; O Lord, do not put me to shame! I will run the course of Your commandments, for You shall enlarge my heart. Teach me, O Lord, the way of Your statutes, and I shall keep it to the end. Give me understanding, and I shall keep Your law; Indeed, I shall observe it with my whole heart. Make me walk in the path of Your commandments, for I delight in it. Incline my heart to Your testimonies, and not to covetousness. Turn away my eyes from looking at worthless things, and revive me in Your way. Establish Your Word to Your servant, who is devoted to fearing You. Turn away my reproach which I dread, for Your judgments are good. Behold, I long for Your precepts; revive me in Your righteousness. Let Your mercies come also to me, O Lord-- Your salvation according to Your Word. So shall I have an answer for him who reproaches me, for I trust in Your Word. And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth, for I have hoped in Your ordinances. So shall I keep Your law continually, forever and ever. And I will walk at liberty, for I seek Your precepts. I will speak of Your testimonies also before kings, and will not be ashamed. And I will delight myself in Your commandments, which I love. My hands also I will lift up to Your commandments, which I love, and I will meditate on Your statutes. Remember the word to Your servant, upon which You have caused me to hope. This is my comfort in my affliction, for Your Word has given me life. The proud have me in great derision, yet I do not turn aside from Your law. I remembered Your judgments of old, O Lord, and have comforted myself. Indignation has taken hold of me because of the wicked, who forsake Your law. Your statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage. I remember Your name in the night, O Lord, and I keep Your law. This has become mine, because I kept Your precepts. 
You are my portion, O Lord; I have said that I would keep Your words. I entreated Your favor with my whole heart; be merciful to me according to Your word. I thought about my ways, and turned my feet to Your testimonies. I made haste, and did not delay to keep Your commandments. The cords of the wicked have bound me, but I have not forgotten Your law. At midnight I will rise to give thanks to You, because of Your righteous judgments. I am a companion of all who fear You, and of those who keep Your precepts. The earth, O Lord, is full of Your mercy; teach me Your statutes. You have dealt well with Your servant, O Lord, according to Your Word. Teach me good judgment and knowledge, for I believe Your commandments. Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now I keep Your Word. You are good, and do good; teach me Your statutes. The proud have forged a lie against me, but I will keep Your precepts with my whole heart. Their heart is as fat as grease, but I delight in Your law. It is good for me that I have been afflicted, that I may learn Your statutes. The law of Your mouth is better to me than thousands of coins of gold and silver. Your hands have made me and fashioned me; give me understanding, that I may learn Your commandments. Those who fear You will be glad when they see me, because I have hoped in Your Word. I know, O Lord, that Your judgments are right, and that in faithfulness You have afflicted me. Let, I pray, Your merciful kindness be for my comfort, according to Your Word to Your servant. Let Your tender mercies come to me, that I may live; for Your law is my delight. Let the proud be ashamed, for they treated me wrongfully with falsehood; but I will meditate on Your precepts. Let those who fear You turn to me, those who know Your testimonies. Let my heart be blameless regarding Your statutes, that I may not be ashamed. My soul faints for Your salvation, but I hope in Your Word. My eyes fail from searching Your Word, saying, “When will You comfort me?” For I have become like a wineskin in smoke, yet I do not forget Your statutes. How many are the days of Your servant? When will You execute judgment on those who persecute me? The proud have dug pits for me, which is not according to Your law. All Your commandments are faithful; they persecute me wrongfully; help me! They almost made an end of me on earth, but I did not forsake Your precepts. Revive me according to Your lovingkindness, so that I may keep the testimony of Your mouth. Forever, O Lord, Your Word is settled in heaven. Your faithfulness endures to all generations; You established the earth, and it abides. They continue this day according to Your ordinances, for all are Your servants. Unless Your law had been my delight, I would then have perished in my affliction. I will never forget Your precepts, for by them You have given me life. I am Yours, save me; for I have sought Your precepts. The wicked wait for me to destroy me, but I will consider Your testimonies. I have seen the consummation of all perfection, but Your commandment is exceedingly broad. Oh, how I love Your law! It is my meditation all the day. You, through Your commandments, make me wiser than my enemies; for they are ever with me. I have more understanding than all my teachers, for Your testimonies are my meditation. I understand more than the ancients, because I keep Your precepts. I have restrained my feet from every evil way, that I may keep Your Word. I have not departed from Your judgments, for You Yourself have taught me. How sweet are Your Words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth! Through Your precepts I get understanding; therefore I hate every false way. Your Word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. I have sworn and confirmed that I will keep Your righteous judgments. I am afflicted very much; revive me, O Lord, according to Your Word. Accept, I pray, the freewill offerings of my mouth, O Lord, and teach me Your judgments. My life is continually in my hand, yet I do not forget Your law. The wicked have laid a snare for me, yet I have not strayed from Your precepts. Your testimonies I have taken as a heritage forever, for they are the rejoicing of my heart. I have inclined my heart to perform Your statutes forever, to the very end. 
I hate the double-minded, but I love Your law. You are my hiding place and my shield; I hope in Your Word. Depart from me, you evildoers, for I will keep the commandments of my God! Uphold me according to Your Word, that I may live; and do not let me be ashamed of my hope. Hold me up, and I shall be safe, and I shall observe Your statutes continually. You reject all those who stray from Your statutes, for their deceit is falsehood. You put away all the wicked of the earth like dross; therefore I love Your testimonies. My flesh trembles for fear of You, and I am afraid of Your judgments. I have done justice and righteousness; do not leave me to my oppressors. Be surety for Your servant for good; do not let the proud oppress me. My eyes fail from seeking Your salvation and Your righteous word. Deal with Your servant according to Your mercy, and teach me Your statutes. I am Your servant; give me understanding, that I may know Your testimonies. It is time for You to act, O Lord, for they have regarded Your law as void. Therefore I love Your commandments more than gold, yes, than fine gold! Therefore all Your precepts concerning all things I consider to be right; I hate every false way. Your testimonies are wonderful; therefore my soul keeps them. The entrance of Your Words gives light; it gives understanding to the simple. I opened my mouth and panted, for I longed for Your commandments. Look upon me and be merciful to me, as Your custom is toward those who love Your name. Direct my steps by Your Word, and let no iniquity have dominion over me. Redeem me from the oppression of man, that I may keep Your precepts. Make Your face shine upon Your servant, and teach me Your statutes. Rivers of water run down from my eyes, because men do not keep Your law. 
Righteous are You, O Lord, and upright are Your judgments. Your testimonies, which You have commanded, are righteous and very faithful. My zeal has consumed me, because my enemies have forgotten Your Words. Your Word is very pure; therefore Your servant loves it. I am small and despised, yet I do not forget Your precepts. Your righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and Your law is truth. Trouble and anguish have overtaken me, yet Your commandments are my delights. The righteousness of Your testimonies is everlasting; give me understanding, and I shall live. I cry out with my whole heart; hear me, O Lord! I will keep Your statutes. I cry out to You; save me, and I will keep Your testimonies. I rise before the dawning of the morning, and cry for help; I hope in Your Word. My eyes are awake through the night watches, that I may meditate on Your Word. Hear my voice according to Your lovingkindness; O Lord, revive me according to Your justice. They draw near who follow after wickedness; they are far from Your law. You are near, O Lord, and all Your commandments are truth. Concerning Your testimonies, I have known of old that You have founded them forever. 
Consider my affliction and deliver me, for I do not forget Your law. Plead my cause and redeem me; revive me according to Your Word. Salvation is far from the wicked, for they do not seek Your statutes. Great are Your tender mercies, O Lord; revive me according to Your judgments. Many are my persecutors and my enemies, yet I do not turn from Your testimonies. I see the treacherous, and am disgusted, because they do not keep Your Word. Consider how I love Your precepts; revive me, O Lord, according to Your lovingkindness. The entirety of Your Word is truth, and every one of Your righteous judgments endures forever. Princes persecute me without a cause, but my heart stands in awe of Your Word. I rejoice at Your Word as one who finds great treasure. I hate and abhor lying, but I love Your law. Seven times a day I praise You, because of Your righteous judgments. Great peace have those who love Your law, and nothing causes them to stumble. Lord, I hope for Your salvation, and I do Your commandments. My soul keeps Your testimonies, and I love them exceedingly. I keep Your precepts and Your testimonies, for all my ways are before You. Let my cry come before You, O Lord; give me understanding according to Your Word. Let my supplication come before You; deliver me according to Your Word. My lips shall utter praise, for You teach me Your statutes. My tongue shall speak of Your Word, for all Your commandments are righteousness. Let Your hand become my help, for I have chosen Your precepts. I long for Your salvation, O Lord, and Your law is my delight. Let my soul live, and it shall praise You; and let Your judgments help me. I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek Your servant, For I do not forget Your commandments. 

=Purity Part Five: Purified in the Spirit=

<blockquote>
"Thus says The Lord, concerning baptism: Let My beloved first be baptized in spirit and in truth, filled with the knowledge of The Holy, nourished by the Word of Truth. Let them come to Me in sincere repentance, and receive forgiveness of sins in The Messiah’s name... All burdens lifted, immersed and purified in the Spirit of God. For The Holy One of Israel is He who baptizes with the Holy Spirit and with fire, and He knows His own." (From "[[Be Baptized in The Living Waters of Spirit and Truth]]")
</blockquote>

"And though these have sinned in the body, as all men, they are fully immersed in the Spirit of Truth, enveloped in The Son’s sacrifice, cleansed in the blood of The Lamb... Behold the chosen vessels of The Lord. They are washed and made clean, both in body and spirit, remade, vessels of honor, meet for The Master’s use." (From “[[Chosen Vessels]]”)

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. And those who are Messiah’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. (Galatians 5:22-25)

"For you do always hold out the hand against the cleansing of the Spirit, you do always reject the Word of The Lord!" (From “[[I Am Calling You Out! (Part 2)... Come Out of the Churches of Men and I Will Receive You! Says The Lord]]”)

Having one’s mind controlled by the old nature is death, but having one’s mind controlled by the Spirit is life and shalom. (Romans 8:6)

"This question was asked of The Lord, regarding Luke 15:11-32: Lord, have I become hard like the older son? Have I put my hand to tasks, and forgotten to build up compassion for those who have gone astray? Is this story meant to convict me, Lord? 
[The Lord answered] If your heart is convicted, then has it not also given answer to your prayer already, revealing the Spirit which dwells within you, of what sort it is? For only the Spirit of Truth will bring forth conviction unto righteousness, bearing much fruit in The Beloved, says The Lord." (From “[https://www.thevolumesoftruth.com/Words_To_Live_By..._More_Words_of_Wisdom_From_The_Lord,_Our_God_and_Savior#The_Spirit_of_Truth_Brings_Conviction The Spirit of Truth Brings Conviction]”)

And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of The Lord YahuShua and by the Spirit of our God. (1 Corinthians 6:11)

"Beloved, let your tears flow when the Spirit convicts you. Let them cleanse your eyes so you may see, as your heart is set free. And no more resist the cleansing of The Lord." (From “[https://www.thevolumesoftruth.com/Words_To_Live_By..._More_Words_of_Wisdom_From_The_Lord,_Our_God_and_Savior#Breaking_Through_the_Barriers Breaking Through the Barriers]”)
 

=Purity Part Six: Purified Through the Blood of Messiah=

"Therefore, I ask you, what defilement remains? For what The Lord has cleansed, in the blood of The Lamb, is a new creation - virgin... 
All men are defiled, having fallen into all manner of diverse temptations; there is none righteous in all the earth, no, not one. Yet all who repent, in sincerity and in truth, are cleansed in the blood of The Lamb, which is pure and holy. Therefore, those whom I have called to be My witnesses must become pure in heart and in spirit, set apart from the world and the churches of men, who cease not from polluting My name and marring My image before the people." (From “[[All Have Been Purchased... Yet Few Have Accepted, Few Are Chosen]]”)

Then one of the elders answered, saying to me, “Who are these arrayed in white robes, and where did they come from?” And I said to him, “Sir, you know.” So he said to me, “These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb." (Revelation 7:13-14)

"Yet understand this, all you haughty scholars and prideful teachers, even all you who call of yourselves Christian who make arrogant assertions without knowledge, you lack trust and have no understanding! Nor do you know your God, nor that covenant written in My own blood, which is The New and Everlasting Covenant. For I died; behold, I am risen! I am alive forevermore! Amen! And as I live, so shall the penitent man live. Even if he should turn and stumble, his salvation is in no wise lost to him. For he has an Advocate with The Father, One who stands in his place, having already paid the full price for his transgression; behold, his sin is remembered no more, cast into a dark sea of forgetfulness! And oh how blessed are those who strive always to make their repentance full, says The Lord... 
They shall come to Me by great tribulation and shall be made white in My own blood, bringing glory to My name, even the name of The Father who is in Heaven, the name We share. And they shall all become one flock, with one Shepherd. Behold, I shall be their God, and they shall be My people, forever! Says The Lord." (From “[[Salvation Is Given and Must Be Received; Once Received, Forever Shall It Belong to the Redeemed]]”)

For if the blood of bulls and goats and the ashes of a heifer, sprinkling the unclean, sanctifies for the purifying of the flesh, how much more shall the blood of Messiah, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? (Hebrews 9:13-14)

"Therefore I have gathered to Myself a special offering, of the number, empty vessels void of all doctrine taught within the churches of men. And though these have sinned in the body, as all men, they are fully immersed in the Spirit of Truth, enveloped in The Son’s sacrifice, cleansed in the blood of The Lamb... Behold the chosen vessels of The Lord. They are washed and made clean, both in body and spirit, remade, vessels of honor, meet for The Master’s use. Behold, they are filled with the pure water, of which they shall continually pour into the cups of the thirsty. I AM THE LORD." (From “[[Chosen Vessels]]”)

"Your sins are forgiven you; today’s, yesterday’s, and yes, even those sins of tomorrow are forgiven those of a sincere and penitent heart. For by the blood of My Only Begotten Son are you made clean; by His shed blood are you made worthy, by His suffering are you purged and by His stripes are you healed. Therefore one who asks anything in The Messiah’s name, in accordance with My will, shall surely have it, starting with the forgiveness of sins." (From “The Promise”)

But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of YahuShua HaMashiach His Son cleanses us from all sin. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. (1 John 1:7-9)

"Beloved, heed My words and listen closely to My speech; for thus says The Lord to the church at His right hand, if you do indeed seek to remain at My right hand: Forbear not, nor reject My Word spoken to this generation, lest I leave you unto refinement also. For your robes have been made white, washed in the blood of The Lamb." (From “[[Under God]]”)

Therefore, brothers and sisters, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of YahuShua, by a new and living way opened for us through the curtain, that is, his body, and since we have a great priest over the house of God, let us draw near to God with a sincere heart and with the full assurance that faith brings, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for He who promised is faithful. (Hebrews 10:19-23)

"Beloved, where in The Commandments have I written all must be baptized by men to be saved? Baptism is indeed good, if it is a confession poured out from one’s heart in pure belief, an outward act of faith revealing one’s acceptance of their forgiveness in The Messiah. For the water of the earth can only cleanse that which is soiled on the skin. By no means can it cleanse that which is soiled in the spirit; this is reserved for the blood of The Lamb." (From “[[The True Baptism]]”)

When Moses had proclaimed every command of the law to all the people, he took the blood of calves, together with water, scarlet wool and branches of hyssop, and sprinkled the scroll and all the people. He said, “This is the blood of the covenant, which God has commanded you to keep.” In the same way, he sprinkled with the blood both the tabernacle and everything used in its ceremonies. In fact, the law requires that nearly everything be cleansed with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness. It was necessary, then, for the copies of the heavenly things to be purified with these sacrifices, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. For Messiah did not enter a sanctuary made with human hands that was only a copy of the true one; He entered Heaven itself, now to appear for us in God’s presence. Nor did He enter Heaven to offer Himself again and again, the way the high priest enters the Most Holy Place every year with blood that is not his own. Otherwise Messiah would have had to suffer many times since the creation of the world. But He has appeared once for all at the culmination of the ages to do away with sin by the sacrifice of Himself. Just as people are destined to die once, and after that to face judgment, so Messiah was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many; and He will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for Him. (Hebrews 9:19-28) 

==I Am The Passover and The Lamb, The New Covenant with Men==
Thus says The Messiah who is called Christ, The Holy One of Israel: I am The Lamb of God without spot or blemish, the blood which was shed and placed upon the doorposts, delivering My people from the power of sin, which is death. I am The Passover. 
For as it is written in The Law, all things must be purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there can be no remission. Thus no one goes to The Father, unless they receive of Me. Unless they eat My flesh and drink My blood, they have no life in them. For whosoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has everlasting life, and I will raise them up at the Last Day. For My flesh is food indeed, and My blood is drink indeed. Thus all who eat My flesh and drink My blood live in Me, and I in them. 
I am The Living Bread which came down from Heaven! If anyone eats this bread, he will live forever! And the bread that I gave was My flesh, which was given for the life of the world. This I have already told you. Therefore keep the Passover in remembrance of Me and My Passion, according to The New Covenant. For it is accomplished, and was sealed forevermore upon My resurrection. For The Lamb was slain, My people redeemed in all the earth; and behold, I am risen, crowned with glory and honor, forever and ever. Amen.

Therefore, again I say to you, celebrate Passover, yet not as in the days of Moses; nor as the unbelieving in Israel, upon whom the veil remains, for they have yet to look upon Me. For the Passover was a signpost, a shadow of glorious things to come. Read the writing thereof and have understanding, take its meaning to heart. For the Holy Days are revelation, the Plan of the Ages revealed.

Therefore rejoice, My people, for your Redeemer lives! 
Death has passed over you!...

Therefore eat, drink, and give thanks 
In remembrance of Me, and I shall also 
Remember you in the day I gather My own...

Then shall you truly know Me, 
Just as I have always known you, 
Even from the foundation of the world...

Says He who is, and was, and is to come, 
YahuShua, The Salvation of God. (From “[[I Am The Passover and The Lamb, The New Covenant with Men]]”)

==Deplorable Traditions==
12/15/10 From The Lord, Our God and Savior 
The Word of The Lord Spoken to Timothy 
For All Those Who Have Ears to Hear 
(Regarding the holidays of men)

 
Thus says The Lord: All these things which these modern people do in My name, though they be called Christian or otherwise, I DO HATE! I loathe the sight of them! - Dead works! Abominations! Deplorable traditions, in where they have despised both Me and My Word! 
Behold, even the churches of men pollute My name and My glory. Day after day, they twist the Scriptures and tread upon My Holy Law, in an effort to uphold their own way. Behold, from house to house they pollute the name of The Messiah, desecrating The Glory of My majesty, as they attempt to place the name of The Holy One upon their perverse traditions! Reason has altogether departed from them, the truth is cast down, and righteousness has perished!<ref>Jeremiah 7:28</ref> For not one is willing to embrace Me as I truly am!

Therefore, thus says The Lord to the churches of men: Your worship is in vain! Your offerings are not accepted! Behold, even your prayers are an abomination! For you do always turn your ear away from hearing The Holy Law<ref>Proverbs 28:9</ref>, and have not ceased from practicing those things I hate! Modern Pharisees! Arrogant children! 
Behold, you have made for yourselves a graven image, an intricately woven tapestry of man-made doctrine and idolatrous tradition, interlacing sin with sin, all in the name of your “Jesus,” another messiah which you have created in your own image!<ref>See: [https://answersonlygodcangive.com/Regarding_Another_Messiah "Regarding "Another Messiah""]</ref> Desecration! Blasphemy! YOU KNOW NEITHER ME, NOR MY WORD!

 
Thus I call all those who desire to serve Me 
In truth and righteousness, to tear down 
Every whitewashed wall of abomination!<ref>Also read: [https://www.thevolumesoftruth.com/Tear_Down_Every_Whitewashed_Wall_of_Abomination#Tear_Down_Every_Whitewashed_Wall_of_Abomination "Tear Down Every Whitewashed Wall of Abomination"]</ref>...

For this is not a light matter with Me, 
But carries great weight, filling the cup of 
My indignation throughout your generations!...

And behold, I shall surely pour out!...

Until My wrath is satisfied and My anger has abated, 
Until the whole breadth of the whole earth 
Is cleansed in the heat of My fury!...

 
Says The Lord.

The Blessed: More Declarations of Blessedness From The Lord, Our God and Savior

==Introduction==
 
The Blessed 
 
More Declarations of Blessedness 
From The Lord, Our God and Savior 
(Excerpts from The Volumes of Truth) 
 
Everything which comes from the mouth 
Of The Lord your God is a blessing for all!... 
 
A song for all those 
Who have ears to hear! 
 
A vision to all who have 
Eyes to see My splendor, 
Painted by The Word of My glory! 
 
An overflowing fountain inside those 
Whose hearts are open to Me!... 
 
Says The Lord. 
 
 
It is written: 
 
“Man shall not live by bread alone, 
But by every word that proceeds 
From the mouth of God.”[http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+4%3A4&version=NKJV]
 

==Blessed Are Those Who Seek Me==
 
Blessed are all those with 
Their heads raised toward Heaven, 
Who do continually look up 
In anticipation of My coming... 
 
They shall surely be gone from this place! 
 
&dagger; 
 
Blessed are the wise who wait and watch, 
And see these things come to pass 
During their generation... 
 
Blessed are the faithful, 
For they shall be lifted up. 
 
&dagger; 
 
Blessed is the one who finds his way to Me, 
Without the hindrances of men. 
 
&dagger; 
 
Blessed are those who diligently 
Seek after God, for they will surely find Me... 
 
But know this, I am also He who 
Corrects and disciplines those He loves. 
 
&dagger; 
 
Blessed is the man who comes to Me 
Ashamed of his trespasses, whose heart 
Is full of grief on account of his sins, 
For I am faithful to forgive his sins... 
 
Indeed I shall lift him up, 
And set his feet upon hallowed ground. 

==Blessed Are Those Who Believe in Me==
 
Blessed are those who never lost the pearl, 
But held it close their whole life. 
 
&dagger; 
 
I am not a god of force, for that which I give 
Must be received with gladness... 
 
And oh how blessed are those 
Who have truly received, 
For a multitude of joy awaits them... 
 
Soon lifted up, high upon healing wings! 
 
&dagger; 
 
Blessed are those who believe without seeing; 
They have received their reward. 
 
&dagger; 
 
Blessed are those who put their trust 
In God and abide in His Son... 
 
For they shall receive 
Blessing upon blessing, grace upon grace, 
And wisdom with all trust. 
 
&dagger; 
 
Blessed are those who believe in Me... 
 
Even more blessed are those who 
Embrace Me fully and walk in My ways, 
For they shall fly away. 
 
&dagger; 
 
Beloved, I have saved you already, 
Having sent The Lamb of God 
Slain from the foundation of the world; 
He was come into the world, 
And you would not receive Him... 
 
Blessed are those who have received Him; 
Grace covers them. 
 
Behold, He is coming again, 
And He have I poured out on every nation, 
Yet you are offended in Him... 
 
Blessed are the thirsty, 
Who have drunk deeply from His cup; 
They are filled with His glory. 
 
 
Behold, He shall call out, He shall surely gather, 
Yet you will neither see nor hear Him... 
 
Blessed are those who have 
Eyes to see and ears to hear; 
For they shall surely be gone from this place. 
 
&dagger; 
 
As there is only One Way 
And only One Truth and only One Life, 
There can be only One Wisdom also... 
 
Blessed are all those who choose Him. 
 
&dagger; 
 
Blessed are the feet of those 
Who bring the Gospel of The Messiah 
To the hungry and thirsty... 
 
Even more blessed are those 
Who eat and drink 
Of that which is offered them. 
 
&dagger; 
 
Blessed are the pure in heart, 
For they shall surely behold My face. 
 
&dagger; 
 
Blessed are those who watch 
And wait eagerly for My coming... 
 
Blessed are their eyes, 
Though they have yet to see, 
For they have understood... 
 
Blessed are their feet also, 
For they walk along the highway 
Called Holy, and do not tarry... 
 
Lo, they follow close behind Me, 
Going wheresoever I lead them... 
 
Behold, they have passed 
From judgment into life, 
And I have provided The Way. 
 
&dagger; 
 
YahuShua is The Gift, 
Whom you call Christ and Jesus... 
 
Blessed are those who know and accept Him. 
 
&dagger; 
 
There is only one name under Heaven, 
By which you must be saved... 
 
And oh how blessed are those 
Who put their trust in Him. 

==Blessed Are Those Who Receive of Me==
 
Blessed are the meek, 
For they shall inherit the Kingdom on Earth. 
 
&dagger; 
 
Blessed are those who 
Bless the name of The Lord, 
And happy are those who have His name 
Perpetually on their lips... 
 
Life without end to all those 
Who call upon the name of The Lord, 
Forever striving to walk in His ways 
And keep His Commandments... 
 
Fully partaking of the fruit of the Spirit. 
 
&dagger; 
 
Blessed are those who have tasted and seen, 
For they have received of The Divine Gift... 
 
The Lord Himself shall be 
Their inheritance, forever. 
 
&dagger; 
 
All My servants move, speak and hear Me 
Through My spirit, and only through 
The Son shall My children come 
To know Me as I truly am... 
 
And oh how blessed 
Are those who know Him... 
 
For they love Him and obey His voice, 
Having truly received of Him, 
Even of His spirit, the Spirit of God. 
 
&dagger; 
 
Blessed is the man who sincerely repents, 
And also departs from the ways of his flesh... 
 
And happy is the man who loves The Lord 
With all his heart, with all his soul, 
With all his mind and with all his strength... 
 
For he knows The Kingdom of Heaven already, 
And shall soon enter in. 
 
&dagger; 
 
Blessed are those who eat of The True Bread, 
And drink continuously from 
The Fountain of Living Waters... 
 
They shall inherit everlasting life. 
 
&dagger; 
 
Blessed are all those 
In whom I see of Myself... 
 
For these have already passed 
From judgment into life, 
Seated forever at My right hand. 
 
&dagger; 
 
Blessed is the man whose name 
Is written in The Book of Life... 
 
For he shall inherit everlasting life, 
And his name shall endure forever. 
 
&dagger; 
 
Blessed are those who have the Spirit of God, 
For God dwells within them. 
 
&dagger; 
 
Blessed be the name of The Lord... 
 
Blessed are all those who 
Receive of His blessings... 
 
Even more blessed are those who are blessed 
In The Blessing I had sent to them... 
 
For they are baptized in the Spirit of Truth 
And sprinkled with The Blood of Sprinkling, 
By which I have blessed all nations, 
As many as are willing to receive. 
 
&dagger; 
 
Blessed are those who embrace Me, 
For they shall share in My goodness, 
Even of all that I own! 

==Blessed Are Those Who Worship Me==
 
Blessed are all those who raise their voices 
To Heaven and give Me perfect praise; 
Blessed are those who offer up thanksgiving, 
Without ceasing, in My Holy name... 
 
I shall be their God, 
And they shall be My people. 
 
Yet even more blessed are those 
Who bow down and kiss the feet of My Son; 
Their sins are forgiven them... 
 
For those who embrace The Son of God 
Have touched The Kingdom of Heaven... 
 
Everlasting life is their reward, 
Dwelling in union with 
The Messiah, forever. 
 
&dagger; 
 
Blessed are those who worship with gratitude, 
Giving thanks for the birth of My Son... 
 
Even more blessed are those who 
Worship and give thanks 
For His death and resurrection. 
 
&dagger; 
 
Blessed is he who reveres My name 
And gives Me perfect praise... 
 
For I am coming quickly! 
 
&dagger; 
 
I am The First! 
Behold, I am also The Last!... 
 
Blessed therefore are all those 
Who bow down before Me; 
For in them shall the vision be made 
Complete and The Word established, 
Even as it was at the first 
And shall also be at the last... 
 
Trust in Me therefore, for I AM HE! 

==Blessed Are Those Who Walk in My Ways==
 
Blessed are the sons of men who bow down, 
Blessed are all those who fear The Lord... 
 
Blessed are those who truly know Me, 
Who give heed to My words, to do them... 
 
Blessed also are all those who say, “Yes, Lord”, 
To My every decree and proclamation, 
Seeking always to obey My every command... 
 
For their reward is coming, 
Coming very quickly. 
 
&dagger; 
 
Blessed are those who 
Accept The Blessing from God 
And walk in His ways. 
 
&dagger; 
 
Blessed are those given and received in marriage, 
Who keep My Commandments... 
 
For they shall experience love, 
Compassion, understanding, 
Much joy and earthly fulfillment. 
 
&dagger; 
 
Blessed are those who run to Me, 
For they shall be blessed in My presence... 
 
Even more blessed are those 
Who run to Me, then obey My Word, 
For their blessing is complete 
And they are at peace... 
 
Deliverance they shall surely know. 
 
&dagger; 
 
Blessed is he who fears The Lord 
And finds delight in His Commands... 
 
Blessed are all those who do what 
They have heard, for these live by faith, 
And by their example shall many 
Be led to Salvation. 
 
&dagger; 
 
Those who follow My voice 
Shall be blessed in it. 
 
&dagger; 
 
Blessed are those who fear The Lord 
Rather than men, taking much 
Delight in God’s Commands. 
 
&dagger; 
 
Blessed are those who answer, “Yes, Lord”, 
For their faith is revealed... 
 
Blessed are those who pray,

Oh how blessed are those 
Who have received of Grace, 
And seek to please The Father 
By obeying His Law, and teach men so... 
 
Grace AND The Law. 
 
&dagger; 
 
Blessed are all those who take 
Pleasure in My Sabbaths, 
Who also delight in doing what is right 
And good on My Holy Days... 
 
They shall be renewed 
In the presence of The Lord. 
 
&dagger; 
 
Blessed are My servants who seek to obey 
My commands without hesitation, 
For their trust is apparent... 
 
Blessed are those who seek to please Me, 
For in them am I well pleased. 
 
&dagger; 
 
Blessed are those who come out 
At the sound of My voice, 
For I shall surely gather them together... 
 
Indeed, blessed are all those 
Who obey My voice and heed 
The word of My Commandment, 
For they shall be first partakers of The Glory. 
 
&dagger; 
 
It is written: 
“Who can know the mind of God?”[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isaiah+40%3A13%3B+Romans+11%3A34&version=NKJV]... 
 
Yet I have given you the mind of Mashiach[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+Corinthians+2%3A16&version=CJB]... 
 
Therefore, blessed are all those 
Who strive always to walk in His ways. 
 
&dagger; 
 
Blessed are all those who receive 
This Word, and obey it... 
 
They shall be set apart. 
 
&dagger; 
 
Blessed are those who diligently 
Seek to please The Lord their God 
And keep His Commandments... 
 
They will be lifted up. 
 
&dagger; 
 
Blessed are those who 
Take part in the first harvest... 
 
They shall be first partakers of The Glory. 
 
&dagger; 
 
Blessed are those who 
Come out from among them... 
 
Blessed are those who 
Obey God rather than men... 
 
Blessed are all those who place 
Their trust in The Son of God, 
Striving always to walk in His ways 
And keep His Commandments... 
 
They shall surely 
Be taken out of this place. 
 
&dagger; 
 
For there is but One Sanctuary 
In which My people are to take refuge, 
One Shelter from the heat of the Day... 
 
Blessed, therefore, are all those who embrace Him fully 
And strive always to walk in His ways... 
 
They shall be hidden under the shadow 
Of His healing wings, high and lifted up... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==Blessed Are Those Who Overcome==
 
Blessed are those who overcome 
For My name’s sake... 
 
To these is there a place of great honor, 
Where they shall be placed upon the mantle 
Of The Lord, in His house, forever. 
 
&dagger; 
 
Blessed are all those who lose their life 
In this world, for My sake; 
They have their reward... 
 
Yet woe to those who hold fast 
To their life in this world, 
For all they have is passing away. 
 
&dagger; 
 
Blessed are all those who patiently endure 
For My name’s sake... 
 
They fulfill the promises. 
 
&dagger; 
 
Blessed is the one who embraces 
The calling of The Lord wholeheartedly... 
 
For a servant such as this lays down his life 
Each day, bearing his cross after Me... 
 
Upon waking he kneels down 
At the feet of The Lord, 
With an open heart and open hands... 
 
 
And in this servant My soul delights. 
 
&dagger; 
 
Blessed are those who crucify their lives of old, 
And present themselves as a 
Living sacrifice unto God... 
 
For their prayers have been received 
Up to Heaven, for a memorial 
Before The Holy One of Israel. 
 
&dagger; 
 
There can be no birth apart from travail, 
For birth is always accompanied 
By much travail... 
 
Yet oh how blessed are those 
Who persevere with their hearts 
Fixed upon the goal, enduring the pain, 
For they shall surely receive their reward. 
 
&dagger; 
 
Blessed is the wise and faithful servant, 
Who gives no thought to how they are 
Perceived in the eyes of others; 
For they obey My voice, and are not 
Dismayed by the looks of those 
Who judge without knowledge... 
 
Indeed, they seek only to please their Master, 
Having no need of the approval of others. 
 
&dagger; 
 
Blessed are those who do not return 
Evil for evil, or reviling for reviling, 
But rather pray for their enemies... 
 
Blessed are those who hold no ill-will 
In their heart toward another... 
 
Indeed, blessed are all those who forgive 
Everyone who has sinned against them, 
For great shall be their reward in Heaven. 

==Blessed Are Those Who Serve Me as I Have Loved Them==
 
Give, and you will also receive... 
 
Yet even more blessed is the one who gives, 
Expecting nothing in return; 
For this is to walk in Me, in My very footsteps. 
 
&dagger; 
 
Blessed are those who call upon 
The name of The Messiah 
In sincerity and in truth, 
For the Spirit of God dwells within them... 
 
Blessed are those who seek refuge in Him, 
For they shall find it... 
 
Blessed are all those who love 
And obey The Son, 
For they shall be delivered. 
 
&dagger; 
 
Blessed is that servant of Mine 
Who seeks out the poor, 
Whose heart is eager to help the needy, 
For they know My ways and seek to please Me... 
 
Blessed also is My servant who gives 
Out of the abundance they have received, 
For they walk in My ways... 
 
Yet most blessed is My servant 
Who gives from their lack, 
For they do justly, love mercy, 
And walk humbly with their God... 
 
Indeed, they have understood. 
 
&dagger; 
 
Blessed is My servant who gives 
Out of the abundance of their heart... 
 
A joyful giver, 
Who knows that all they have is Mine 
And all I have is theirs. 
 
&dagger; 
 
Blessed are those who wait eagerly for My coming, 
Blessed are all those who keep watch, 
For I shall bless them with a multitude of 
Blessings, a great fulfilling of My spirit in them!... 
 
Lo, they shall stand up and march 
Across these desolate lands!... 
 
They shall stand up! Says The Lord of Hosts... 
 
And I shall bless them 
And bring glory to My name! 
 
&dagger; 
 
Blessed are the feet of those I am sending, 
For they have received a message from God. 
 
&dagger; 
 
The King shall stand up, 
And all creation shall bow down!... 
 
And He shall look upon 
The joy of His heart with gladness, 
And the blessing shall be fulfilled... 
 
For He shall bless them and keep them, 
And make His face to shine upon them; 
He shall be gracious to them, 
And lift up His countenance upon them, 
And grant them peace[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Numbers%206%3A24-26&version=NKJV]... 
 
And thus shall My name be placed 
Upon the children of Israel, 
Even upon all who have been grafted in, 
And they shall be blessed!... 
 
Yea, they shall be exceedingly glad, 
Dwelling in the presence 
Of The Lord, forever! 
 
Therefore, blessed are all those 
Who seek forgiveness in 
YahuShua HaMashiach, 
And also receive... 
 
For in His name shall all find freedom, 
Solace under the shadow 
Of His healing wings!... 
 
Life without end!... 
 
Says The Lord God.

WORDS TO LIVE BY 
PART TWO

More Words of Wisdom 
From The Lord, Our God and Savior 
 
 
For all those who have dedicated 
Themselves to Me by means of The Truth, 
Those who have recognized My words 
And also do them...

Those who came to Me empty 
That I might fill them up, 
That they might be truly dedicated to Me...

Even as I had dedicated Myself to them also, 
That we may become one...

Set apart in My glory, for My glory, 
To the joy of their Father in Heaven...

Says The Lord YahuShua. 
 
 
Grow wise in Me, and live according to My Word, 
Even according to all these Letters I have given you, 
By which I have set all these crooked paths straight. 
For My every word is Scripture, My every Letter truth.

For it is written: 
Man shall not live by bread alone, 
But by every word that proceeds 
From the mouth of God[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%204%3A4&version=NKJV]...

Says The Lord. 

==I Am The Lord's==
 
A Prayer Against Temptation

 
I am The Lord’s! 
And I will no more give myself to diverse lusts, 
To the cares and deceits of my flesh and this world. 

I am The Lord's! 
My heart, it is The Lord’s; My mind, it is The Lord’s; 
My will, it is The Lord’s; My flesh, it is The Lord’s; 
The whole of my body, even all I am, I give to The Lord. 

I am The Lord’s! 
Yea, I pour out my life before The Lord, 
Even as He poured out His; let me receive it! 
In the name of My Love, I call out 
In YahuShua’s name, I ask to receive it!

YahuShua, My Life and My Righteousness, 
I want Your life!

My Lord and my God, I am yours! 
Do with me as You please, according to 
The good pleasure of Your will...

I give myself away... 

Amen. 

==The Bridegroom Approaches==
 
Thus says The Lord: I AM COME![https://www.thevolumesoftruth.com/I_AM_COME]… 
 
From the farthest reaches of creation to the deepest depths of the earth, below the foundations, from beyond time and space shall the sound of My voice come forth! IT SHALL RESOUND LOUDLY! I SHALL BE HEARD! 
Even within the hearts of men shall My voice burst forth, rushing through their veins, causing each of their members to tingle, a great and wonderful shudder within their spirits to the purging of their souls! 
 
For I sit higher than the tallest mountain, I am set high above the highest heavens, set apart and holy, set apart in power and great glory! 
 
Behold, before the beginning was My glory declared, and from the ends of time was My majesty set amongst the stars! Before the earth was made, I wore the universe as a garment! 
Who is like Me?! Declares The Alpha. Who holds all existence together by the Word of His power and by the vastness of His knowledge? Says The Omega. Answer, young children, answer if you know. Speak My name aloud; withhold not! SHOUT, MY SONS AND DAUGHTERS! Let your hearts burst forth with praise! Let every beat resound within your chests, to the praise of My glory! 
Bless the name of pure, unending love! Bless the name of mercy and grace, the name of righteousness! Bless the name of Him who bore your sins upon the tree! KISS THE SON! Says YAHUWAH, The Holy! Kiss Him upon His feet, kiss Him upon His hands, put your hand in His side–TASTE and see! Come close, and kiss My wounds which I received, yes, each one you gave Me. Kiss Me, and be separated no longer; partake of His fullness and receive of Me! 
 
Awaken your hearts! Rouse from your slumber! YOUR KING COMES TO YOU! He is just, HE is your salvation! His garment is righteousness! Have you grasped it? Hurry, lay hold on Him! 
He is My heart, says The Father. Press your ear against My chest, and listen to the sound of My love, every beat of My mercy. Feel the embrace of My arms, strong and gentle–I AM YOUR FATHER! Your heart’s one embrace! 
 
My children, have you heard? Have you truly considered? THE DESIRE OF AGES IS COME! Therefore sing, sing for Me!... 
 
THE BRIDEGROOM APPROACHES! 

==The Only Way==
 
Beloved children, I say this once again, so you may be saved: Come out! Come out from among them and be separate! Says The Lord. And no more touch what is unclean, and I will receive you![https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2%20Corinthians%206%3A17&version=NKJV] 
 

For there is but One Way!...

YahuShua HaMashiach, 
Yes, He who is called Jesus The Christ, 
HE is The Only Way!...

Therefore follow close behind Him, 
In His very footsteps, 
And you shall surely live and not die...

Says The Lord whose dominion is everlasting 
And whose authority is absolute, 
The Only Lord God of Hosts, The I AM. 

==Wake Up==
 
Wake up and pay attention! 
Awaken out of this sleep, be shaken out 
Of this slumber, and call upon My name!...

Seek out My will that you may know it; 
Heed the sound of this Trumpet and prepare!...

For My Kingdom comes, and My will 
Shall be done on earth as in Heaven...

Says The Lord God. 

==Hold Fast==
 
Beloved, prepare your hearts 
And do not abandon hope...

Though much death draws near and 
The pain of death increases in every corner, 
Though heavy sorrows overtake the land 
And tears fill your eyes, hold fast...

Embrace Me fully and do not waver... 

Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==Splendor==
 
I created autumn so all may Partake of My brushstrokes, 
And know I am God, and give Me glory...

For My splendor is written 
In the leaves of the trees; 
It is carried upon the wind, 
As it moves through the tall grasses; 
It soars high above on the wings of eagles, 
Yet remains as near as the fragile flower at your feet...

Behold, everywhere you look, 
The hand of God is clearly seen...

Says The Lord. 

==In The Image of God==
 
All have sinned and fall short of the Glory of God; there is none righteous, no, not one. And for this reason YahuShua The Messiah was sent to die for all men; thereby freeing mankind from the chains which held him captive, loosing him from the bonds which bound him to the punishment of sin, which is death. 
 

So then as The Messiah was 
Crucified and died, and is risen, 
So too must you crucify your life of old...

Who you were must perish, 
Along with your sinful ways, 
Then shall you truly be born again...

Revived and restored in The Image of God...

Says The Lord. 

==LIFE IS==
 
Blessed be the name of The One 
Who is, and was, and is forevermore, 
The Fosterer and Protector of those 
Tossed away in bitter ignorance...

For LIFE IS, before its very conception...

Says The Lord. 

==A Gemstone‎‎==
 
Like a gemstone shining in the midst of all 
This darkness, easily found by the eyes of God, 
So shall you be in the day you surrender your life, 
The day you give up this fight and return to Me...

Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==No Walls‎‎==
 
No church named of men 
Is the true church - not one...

Rather each member individually, 
Who believes in The Messiah and obeys 
His voice, in whom His spirit dwells, 
Make up the True Church of His body...

No walls, only spirit and truth... 

Says The Lord. 

==Marriage‎‎==
 
I gave unto man woman, 
From his side did I form her, 
And he who was one became two; 
And behold, the two became one again in marriage...

Two of one flesh, man and woman[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis+2%3A21-24&version=NKJV]...

And I saw that it was very good... 

Says The Lord. 

==Bitter==
 
If you dispense the food of God to the hungry, 
While using your own salt to salt that which 
Has salt in itself, will not the food you offer 
Lose its flavor and become bitter in the mouths 
Of those who came looking to be fed?...

Says The Lord. 

==Gone From This Place==
 
The Thief shall enter the house 
And steal away all who are not tied down, 
Fastened, or shackled to the house...

And all those in whom He sees of Himself 
Shall surely be gone from this place!...

Says The Lord. 

==A Modest Answer‎‎==
 
Saying “I don’t know” is truthful,  
Humble, a modest answer...

Yet assertions without knowledge are akin 
To a lie, the seeds of pride and vanity...

Says The Lord. 

==Sanctuary==
 
Come out from among them, 
And take refuge in Me...

For I am your only shelter, 
Your only sanctuary from the storm...

Says The Holy One of Israel. 

==Bless Those Who Curse You==
 
My children, struggle not against the principles of another, nor rebuke them with your own words, nor correct them by your own understanding. Let go of your personal notions of right and wrong, and strive to love others in spite of yourselves, and have compassion for those with whom you disagree. 
 

Do not judge them, 
Nor shun them in your heart...

Rather love those who speak against you, 
Because you obey My Word...

Bless those who curse you, 
And pray for those who mistreat you, 
As it is written[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+5%3A44&version=NKJV]...

Says The Lord. 

==The Only Faithful and True Witness==
 
I have written it on tablets of stone 
And within the heart of man, and within 
The pages of My Book it is made plain; 
Thus they are without excuse...

For I am God alone, The Righteous One...

I alone am holy, just and good; 
I alone have divided right from wrong; 
I alone have established 
The Law and define what is sin; 
Behold, I expose the darkness and bring 
All hidden things into the light...

For I alone sit as Judge, 
The Only Faithful and True Witness...

Says The Lord. 

==Created Anew==
 
Trust in Me, and you shall be set free...

For it is the humble, 
Penitent man who shall see God; 
Behold, he shall look upon My face, 
As I restore him in My image...

For I am the image of The Invisible God, 
The perfect reflection of The Father, 
The face of The Majesty from on high, 
Immanu El...

Therefore open your heart to Me, 
And I shall create you anew...

Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==Humble and Penitent==
 
All upon the earth who have gained maturity 
Have become so very poor and desolate...

For once you were wealthy, 
Rich beyond words, for then you knew 
The Kingdom of Heaven as a child; 
Yet now you are grown, your light 
Quickly fading, as the ways of this 
World pull you down to the pit...

Therefore return to Me, humble and penitent; 
Come to Me as a child...

For by no other means shall you pass through[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+18%3A3-4&version=NKJV]...

Says The Lord. 

==The Pure of Heart==
 
What is a child’s inheritance on earth and in Heaven, if the years of their life be few in number and they remain in their innocence? Assuredly, I say to you, they will inherit The Kingdom of Heaven, for The Father holds the pure of heart in the palm of His right hand. For like the firefly which alights upon the tall grass, so are these little ones, precious lights shining among men. 
 

And though the little ones may suffer 
At the hands of men in this world, 
I tell you the truth, all arrive at 
The Father’s house in a moment, 
In the twinkling of an eye...

Where healing is complete 
And every tear is wiped away, 
The ways of the world and men forgotten...

Only love abides, as they look upon 
The face of their Father forever...

Says The Lord. 

==Rest==
 
Many things shall be put to rest in 
The Lord’s Day, even death and the grave; 
Destruction shall have no place, 
And evil shall be far removed...

For as it is written: 
They shall not hurt nor destroy in all 
My Holy Mountain, for the earth shall be 
Full of the knowledge of The Lord 
As the waters cover the sea[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isaiah+11%3A9&version=NKJV]...

Therefore, beloved ones, pray always 
That you are counted worthy to 
Enter My rest, that you may abide 
In the presence of The Lord, forever...

Says The Lord. 

==Your Only Salvation==
 
O most foolish and deceived generation, 
Can anyone cut out their own heart and live?...

And who is able to walk alone in darkness, 
Without a light to guide them? 
Who shall uphold them when they stumble 
Or catch them when they fall? 
Who will bind up their wounds?...

O ignorant and confused generation, 
Deceived peoples, The Stone which you seek 
To cast off is LIFE, your only salvation!...

Says The Lord. 

==Your Help and Your Shield==
 
The Mashiach is your help and your shield...

YahuShua, whom you call Jesus and Christ, 
Is The Rock of your Salvation, 
The One who is and was and is to come; 
For The Father and The Son are One...

Therefore embrace Me in My Mercy, 
And receive of Me in My Great Love...

Says The Lord God. 

==The Lord’s Table==
 
The Lord’s table is a bounty...

And those who eat from My plate are 
Always full, and those who drink from 
My cup shall never go thirsty...

For My cup overflows, 
Bearing fruit in every part of your life, 
Bringing forth love and understanding...

Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==The Sign of The Son of Man==
 
The heavens shall be divided, 
And divided again, the glory thereof 
Stretching from the earth to heaven, 
And the clouds shall be rolled back like a scroll...

Behold the brilliance, O earth! 
Be bowed down and weep, O sons of men! 
For The One whom you pierced is about to appear![https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Zechariah+12%3A10&version=NKJV]...

Let every eye be opened therefore, 
Let all in the earth see, until the fullness 
Of the revelation is made complete...

Thus that which was the beginning and the end 
Shall also be the end which brings forth 
The new beginning...

Says The Lord. 

==Soiled==
 
The water of the earth can only cleanse 
That which is soiled on the skin; 
By no means can it cleanse 
That which is soiled in the spirit...

This is reserved for the blood of The Lamb... 

Says The Lord. 

==Against God==
 
That which is unnatural is universally known, 
Though the men and women of this world deny it; 
And that which is against God shall be purged by fire...

Even all that offends shall be destroyed 
And come to a swift end...

Says The Lord. 

==Walk With Me==
 
My Word is for all who truly seek Me 
And long to know My ways, 
Even to walk in them...

Thus My Word can only be accepted 
And understood by those who have 
Received the love of the Truth, 
For they abide in Me and 
My spirit resides within them...

For how can one who stands 
Apart from Me know Me? 
And how can one who teaches his 
Own way walk with Me in Mine?...

Says The Lord. 

==The Water of Siloam==
 
Men do not have understanding of the Scriptures in themselves. Rather it is a gift from God, received through the Holy Spirit, given to those who have placed all their trust in The Holy One, embracing Me as I truly am. Or have you never read this Scripture: The fear of The Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of The Holy One is understanding?[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Proverbs%209%3A10&version=NKJV] 
Therefore to those who have received is all revealed, and to those who have not received is all shut away. Shall the darkness understand the light? For only those of The Light, bathed in His glory, shall see - the rest left blinded. 
 

For until one calls on the name of 
The Messiah, in sincerity and in truth, 
By no means shall they receive...

For He is The One who had placed 
The mud upon their eyes to heal them...

Behold, He is also The Water of Siloam 
Which was sent to wash them, 
That they might now see[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+9%3A6-7&version=NKJV]...

Says The Lord. 

==The Perfect Reflection==
 
Apart from Me, there is no wisdom! Apart from The Holy One, there is no life! Apart from The Vine, there are no branches! 
Behold, the leaves wither and the fruit has been cast down, for the people have no favor with God. Thus every dry branch must be broken off and cast into the fire, all corrupt fruit must be left and tread down.  
For the temple of God has lost its form; its comeliness has departed, every chamber is empty. For the heart of man is void, his countenance unyielding. Thus the pride of man has become a chasm, both deep and wide. 
 

Therefore repent, and receive of Me 
As I am, and not as you would have Me be, 
That you may be truly born again.

For I am the perfect reflection of The Father, 
The image of The Invisible God...

I died, behold, I am risen, 
And by My life are you saved; 
That you might become the perfect  
Reflection of Me, The One alone  
In whom is everlasting life...

Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==My Body, My Bride==
 
My church has no walls, 
And is called by no other name except 
The name The Father has given Me...

Its members are of one mind 
And one spirit, of one love, 
One flock with one Shepherd...

A people set apart who keep 
The Commandments of The Father 
And remain faithful to The Son, 
Striving always to walk in My ways...

For those who truly know Me 
Dwell in Me, and I in them; 
For they are Mine, even as I am theirs also...

My body, My bride... 

Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==The Remnant==
 
I am He who searches the hearts 
And minds, I know My own; 
I know whose love is steadfast, 
Whose faith is unmoving...

And this is the True Church 
My people long for, the remnant 
Which now is and is yet to come...

For it is not found outwardly in the world, 
But inwardly, in the temple of God...

I AM THE LORD. 

==The Truth==
 
The Scriptures are not malleable; 
The Commandments do not change!...

For The Truth is absolute, 
Forever standing on a hill, 
Bright and shining, 
Immovable, unbreakable!...

The Everlasting Stone which has 
Become The Head of the Corner[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+21%3A42&version=KJV], 
The Great Mountain which fills the whole earth[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Daniel+2%3A35&version=NKJV]...

Says The Lord. 

==Absolute==
 
The Word stands forever...

Immovable and everlasting, 
Unchangeable, having complete 
Authority over all things, 
The light and the dark, 
The righteous and the wicked...

Indeed, the whole universe is 
Set within the confines of His will, 
Giving heed to Him who created it, 
Forever and ever...

Says The Lord. 

==Twin Daggers==
 
My words are fire, singeing the forehead 
Of the arrogant, setting the countenance 
Of the prideful ablaze, twin daggers 
Piercing the heart of every hearer...

Therefore hear the Word of The Lord, 
And heed the call...

For it is a call to repentance, a shout 
And a witness, a proclamation of Truth...

A trumpet of alarm and war, a declaration 
Of judgment, a strong rebuke...

Says The Lord. 

==Abolished==
 
The reign of evil shall be abolished, 
The wicked stricken and the evil of heart 
Blotted out, extinguished in the 
Lake of My burning heart...

For My heart is set ablaze in My anger, 
And My countenance burns like a raging fire; 
My sadness is infinite, the weight of 
Unending sorrow covers Me...

For as I live, says The Lord, I take no 
Pleasure in the destruction of the wicked...

But call all in the earth to repent, 
To turn from their evil ways 
And return to Me...

Says The Lord. 

==Every Heart Laid Bare==
 
One Commandment broken are all Commandments broken. One sin committed in The Messiah’s name are all sins accounted to you. One sin repented in His name, all are forgiven you. For I know your thoughts, My children, even your innermost intentions, and I know whether or not you are fully converted in your hearts.  
And though you may lie to yourselves, and bear false witness in the sight of many witnesses, nothing is hidden from the eyes of God - every lie exposed, every heart laid bare, in the Day I rise up and judge the earth. 
 

Come to Me, therefore, in sincerity and in truth; 
Humble yourselves in The Messiah’s name...

For He is The True Light, utterly void of darkness, 
The Only Way to follow, The Truth Absolute; 
By Him alone shall you walk into everlasting life...

For only those who walk in Him shall find Me, 
And only those in union with Him shall know Me...

Says The Lord. 

==The Only True Religion==
 
I am The Way, The Truth, and The Life...

And this is pure, undefiled love, 
The only means by which The Law 
Of The Father may be fulfilled: 
You shall love The Lord your God 
With all your heart, with all your mind, 
With all your soul and with all your strength; 
And yes, beloved, you shall love 
Your neighbor as yourself...

For this is to walk in Me, this is to abide in Me, 
The only true religion in which is life...

Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==True Faith==
 
True faith has a name, 
And true religion yields fruit of the same...

A Bride who obeys the voice of her 
Husband and walks in His ways, 
A people worthy to be called by His name...

Says The Lord. 

==Regain the Line==
 
Beloved, turn aside and come to Me.

Regain the line and together we shall walk, 
Choosing the good and refusing the evil, 
Until you also have forgotten your sin.

Behold, it is separated from you 
As far as the east is from the west...

Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==Worthless Images==
 
Do not put your trust in idols, nor in any man-made image forged of stone or marble, or of wood or brass, gold or of fine metal; there is no life in it! For they can not speak or walk; they have no power at all. 
Yea, men bear them upon their shoulders, for they can not move from their places. They have no strength, they are helpless, worthless images carved in futility and must be borne. 
 

Look how easily they are toppled 
By the wind and broken in pieces, 
When the earth is shaken but a little...

Says The Lord. 

==Impotent Leaders==
 
Do not put your trust in any man, 
Though he speaks with a clever tongue, 
With many enticing words of unity 
And peace, and many great promises...

And though others bow down to him 
And give him glory, you shall not 
Place your trust in any man...

For man is but flesh...

Easily crushed beneath the weight 
Of a single branch falling from a tree...

Says The Lord. 

==The Prince of Peace==
 
YahuShua HaMashiach 
Is The Fulfillment of all things, 
The Truth and Understanding you seek, 
The Meaning of Life...

HE is The Bread which came down 
From Heaven to feed those who hunger, 
The Fountain of Living Waters for those 
Who thirst, The Prince of Peace...

The ONLY Way, The ONLY Truth, 
The ONLY Life...

Says The Lord God. 

==The Goal==
 
The spirit of The Law is shown 
In The Messiah’s vesture, He being the 
Same One who taught you The Law anew, 
By His example and by His every word and deed...

For The Law is fulfilled in The Messiah; 
Indeed, He is the goal at which the Torah aims[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans+10%3A4&version=CJB]...

Says The Lord God. 

==Life Without End==
 
My mercy endures forever...

And those who receive of My Mercy 
Shall likewise endure, forever...

Says The Lord. 

==Cherished==
 
The works of men are evil, even from their youth...

Thus the little children shall be 
My inheritance, and the babes My jewels...

For the innocent come forth as lights shining 
Out of darkness, gifts born from the womb; 
They are precious; to be cherished 
Is every child in their youth...

For the innocent are of more value 
Than gold and silver, prized 
Above precious stones...

Says The Lord. 

==ONE==
Give heed to My words and understand. For as I had spoken to My friends in times past, so now do I also speak to you. For the time has come and is coming and is already here, when all signs and wonders shall be made manifest, when all prophecy shall be fulfilled. Rejoice, for your redemption draws near! And though the time of great sorrows has come in, hold fast, for these days shall be shortened... No more pain, no more tears, no more death, all sorrows passing away, rebirth, a time of refreshing which shall never end.
 
Therefore, remember My words and have peace:

One God... 
 
One Son, The Only Way to The Father...

One Truth, One Word, One Messiah, One Spirit; 
One Food, One Bread and One Drink...

One Body...

Of which I am all, 
The All in All...

Says The Lord. 

==Take Your Fill‎‎==
 
Come and drink fully of that which is sweet; 
Come and drink also of that which you perceive 
To be bitter and very hard to swallow...

Ingest it fully...

For it too shall become sweet 
When understanding comes...

Says The Lord. 

==More Than the Asking==
 
Repentance is more than the asking...

It must come from a deep desire to be 
Set free in My love, followed by a sincere 
Unyielding commitment to make your 
Love perfect through obedience...

The shedding of the skin 
Of this world, the crucifying 
Of your old man with his sinful ways...

The putting on of the new man 
Who is renewed in the knowledge 
Of The Holy One, conforming to the 
Image of Him who created him[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Colossians%203%3A9-10&version=NKJV]... 

Says The Lord. 

==Lead by Example==
 
Strive to walk as I walked, and they will see, 
For every veil is lifted in Me...

Be steadfast and forthcoming; 
Make honesty your companion 
And integrity your close friend...

Lead by example, with quiet boldness 
And steadfast trust, and they will begin to see...

Says The Lord. 

==A Shining Example==
 
To abide in the doctrine of The Messiah 
Is not mere proclamation or belief...

To abide in His doctrine is to LIVE by His words, 
A shining example of righteousness, 
Striving always to make your love 
Perfect through obedience...

That those close to you, even to the passerby, 
May see your good works and glorify 
Your Father in Heaven...

For it is written: 
One does not live on bread and 
Water alone, but by every word that 
Comes from the mouth of God[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%204%3A4&version=NKJV]...

So then do not just give voice and preach, 
But ABIDE in the doctrine of The Messiah...

By example shall you lead them... 

Says The Lord. 

==Let The Law Be Written in Your Heart==
 
I am the fulfillment of The Law, 
The very goal at which the Torah aims...

Thus all those who embrace Me 
Are freed from the curse of The Law, 
But by no means are they now free 
To forsake The Law...

Rather let The Law be written in your heart...

For now you are under grace, 
And by the power of My own spirit 
Are you now able to keep The Law...

Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==First Partakers==
 
God is just in everything...

And if The Father’s justice is not partial, 
Then it shall surely come to pass in these 
Latter days, that those who have 
Placed themselves first shall be last...

And those who were seen as last 
Shall be first partakers of The Glory...

Says The Lord. 

==Be Born Again‎‎==
 
Repent in sincerity and in truth...

Return to your First Love, 
Walk in the first works; 
Embrace The Word of God anew, 
Bringing forth works worthy of repentance...

That you may truly be born again... 

Says The Lord. 

==A Continual Washing==
 
I tell you a mystery: It has been appointed to those who are born twice to die once, but by no means shall they die a second time. Yet those who do not come to Me in repentance shall be born once and die twice. Yet there are some among this generation who shall never taste death, having already passed from judgment into life. 
Thus to My chosen elect, there is a death of the body unto resurrection. Yet for those still living at My return, there is a death of another kind - the crucifying of your old man with his sinful ways, the putting on of the new man who is renewed in the knowledge of the Truth, restored in the image of Him who created him.[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Colossians%203%3A9-10&version=NKJV] 
Thus when one is born into this world, the child and the mother suffer the pangs of childbirth, until the birth is complete. In the same way, those born of the Spirit shall suffer travail. For they are not yet separated from their flesh or this world, in which they continually stumble. 
 

So then, being born again is the process 
By which you are restored in the image of God, 
A continual washing, until you come into glory...

Says The Lord. 

==Reborn==
 
As a babe is born naked and wrapped in soft linens, 
So also shall My people be reborn - 
Naked, void of the things of this world, 
Clothed in fine linens of white...

Behold, the corruptible has put on incorruption, 
And the mortal, immortality, as it is written[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Corinthians%2015%3A54&version=NKJV]...

Says The Lord. 

==The Perfect Lamb==
 
I carried the weight of the world’s sin to the cross, 
And crucified sin through My suffering - 
The penalty of sin abolished as I fell asleep, 
The Victory established for all time upon My rising...

For I am and will always be The Perfect Lamb, 
Without spot or blemish, given up for many...

The Restoration of All Things... 

Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==One Source==
 
That which glorifies Me can have only one source...

And that which denies My sacrifice, as though it 
Were not enough, steals from My glory, 
And this also has one source...

Says The Lord. 

==I Shall Not Lose One‎‎==
 
I forgive all who return to Me...

Even the one in ninety-nine who goes astray; 
Even the one among twelve who betrays Me...

For I am The Lord...

And of all those The Father 
Has given Me, I shall not lose one...

Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==Fear Not==
 
Beloved, I know when each will come to Me, I know every trial and tribulation. Therefore, call on My name in this time of darkness, in this time of great calamity and fear. Hold fast through all these tears, endure in these times of trouble.  
 

Fear not, for I have overcome the world; 
I hold the keys of death and Sheol, 
And The Book of Life is held 
Securely in My right hand...

No one can steal you from My love; 
No one can pluck you from My hand; 
No one can break off what I have grafted in...

For I know you as you are and as you will be, 
With Me where I am...

Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==True Wisdom==
 
True wisdom is not of man, nor is it found in the earth, but from above - heavenly, holy. For that created was created according to the wisdom of Him who created it and by whom all things consist, knowing their form from the beginning. Therefore the fear of The Lord is indeed the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of The Holy One is understanding, as it is written.[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Proverbs%209%3A10&version=NKJV] For apart from Me there is no knowledge, apart from Me all understanding passes away. For I AM HE, The Only Fountain from which flows all wisdom and knowledge, The Source of all things. 
 

So then all who receive of Me grow wise, 
Receiving of that which is pure, 
Learning to walk in that which is eternal...

As one being led along a mountain stream 
Of living waters, filled with a fervent 
Desire to seek out its source...

Drinking from it along the way, 
Gaining strength in weakness, 
Leaving all behind in their holy pursuit...

Says The Lord. 

==The Only Truth==
 
I AM...

And you are in life because of Me...

And all that is, even all these worlds 
To every star you see in the heavens, 
Was made according to the wisdom 
Of The Father, brought forth and established 
Through The Son, by whom all things consist...

For I AM, and have always been, 
The Way and The Life, The Salvation of God, 
The Only Truth from which all understanding flows...

YAHUSHUA-YAHUWAH. 

==Faithful==
 
One who truly loves Me speaks about Me, 
And remains faithful at all times and in every season; 
And one who places Me above all else has shown their 
Loved ones who is first, and what faithfulness truly is...

For there is no true love apart from Me; 
Nor can one remain faithful unless 
They have received of Me...

Therefore to speak of Me in the 
Company of others is to love them...

And to deny Me in the company of others 
Is to hate them, whereby you have also 
Revealed that your comfort is of more 
Importance than The Truth, and keeping 
The peace more important than their lives...

Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==Patience and Faith‎‎==
 
What is the knowledge of man? Is it not a stone of stumbling? And the pride of man, a rock of offense? How then shall the blind see or the deaf hear, unless I heal them? Or how shall one grab hold of the line, unless it is first placed within their reach? 
 

Yet My servants are wise...

They fear The Lord, and wait upon Me 
With all patience and faith, doubting nothing, 
Humble servants who study My Word, knowing 
I am The Author and The Finisher thereof...

When they wake and when they lie down, I am there... 

I am their life, and they are My joy...

Says The Lord. 

==Impasse‎‎==
 
When My servants come to an impasse in My Word, according to their own understanding, what is their reaction? They continue on, without hindrance or doubt. 
For their relationship with The Author is intimate, their trust without reservation. Thus they remain at peace, and wait upon The Lord for the light of understanding, knowing in their heart every word is true, ready to receive the spirit of the Word, stumbling not over its letter. 
And until My people are established firmly upon this premise, they will remain daunted, striving to see but never fully understanding, straining to hear but remaining dull of hearing. 
 

Thus for My wise and faithful servants, 
All barriers are removed...

For their peace is in the knowing, 
I AM WHO I AM, though they yet 
Stand at the beginning, unable to see the end...

An heir of all I will reveal to them 
When the fullness of time has come in...

Says The Lord. 

==Be Joined Unto Me==
 
I have called My people out, that they might 
Come out from among them and be separate...

A people set apart for My name, 
A people who keep The Commandments 
And cease not from testifying to My glory, 
A people of pure and undefiled faith...

A people joined unto ME... 

Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==The Watchmen==
 
Consider the squirrel and its ways...

Does it not live among the trees, 
Running up and down with ease, 
Leaping from branch to branch with skill and grace, 
Perfectly designed for its abode and purpose?...

So shall My watchmen be in the Day of The Lord...

Prepared, according to their task; 
Established, according to the Word of My mouth; 
Filled, according to their service; 
Remade, according to My purpose...

I AM THE LORD. 

==A Wise and Faithful Servant==
 
Who is a wise and faithful servant?...

Is he not one who receives the blessings 
Of his Father without constraint, one who 
Embraces My speech, whether soft or hard, 
Even of that which I have spoken to another?...

A servant such as this is wise indeed...

For he knows that every good gift 
And every perfect gift is from above, 
And comes down from The Father of Lights, 
With whom there is no variation or 
Shadow of turning, as it is written[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=James%201%3A17&version=NKJV]...

Says The Lord. 

==Mindfulness==
 
What is a son who is mindful of his father’s ways, who pays close attention to his every word? Or a servant, who seeks only to serve his master? Or a faithful bride, who seeks always to please her husband in all her ways, whether he is near or far, in her presence or soon returning? 
 

Beloved ones, be mindful of 
These things and grow in wisdom, 
Abide in trust and do not waver; 
Be at peace...

For I am indeed coming quickly, 
And My reward is with Me...

Says The Lord. 

==Fixed Upon The Goal==
 
Those who I have called out of a place 
Shall in no wise return to it, 
Nor shall they look back...

They shall continue on toward safety, 
With their eyes fixed upon The Goal, 
Walking always in line with the Spirit...

Praying without ceasing, 
Giving heed to My leading, 
Listening for My voice...

Says The Lord. 

==Renewed==
 
Only those who seek that which is first, 
Who fill themselves up with that which 
Is most needful, will finish the day 
With strength enough to face tomorrow...

Therefore seek Me out at every opportunity, 
Whether for a moment or for the hour, 
That you may be renewed in My presence...

Looking always to The Blessed Hope, 
Having tasted of it while in waiting...

Says The Lord. 

==History Has an End==
 
I AM COME[https://www.thevolumesoftruth.com/I_AM_COME]...

The One who was has come; 
The One who is, is come; 
The One who is to come is coming 
Quickly to fulfill and complete...

HISTORY HAS AN END!...

And His name is The Great I AM, 
The Holy One of Israel!...

YAHUSHUA-YAHUWAH!... 

Immanu El! 

==I Am Enough==
 
Beloved ones, you worry, yet I AM HE; 
You weep, yet I AM HE; 
You stumble, yet I AM HE; 
Your hearts tear and break over 
All these sorrows, yet I AM HE...

You struggle and are in turmoil, 
You feel lost, yet I AM HE; 
You grasp at the wind and have 
No understanding, yet I AM HE...

You are persecuted by those 
You love, yet I AM HE; 
The world hates you, yet I AM HE; 
Everything you have is passing away, yet I AM HE; 
Death comes to take you into darkness, yet I AM HE!...

Do you not understand?! I AM ENOUGH! 
The One who sees, The One who knows! 
No matter the time or the season, 
In every moment of your life, I AM HE!...

Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==Choose==
 
Beloved, it is time to choose, 
To make your decision...

It is time to bring your 
Heart forward, and be healed, 
To make your repentance full[https://answersonlygodcangive.com/Regarding_True_Repentance]...

It is time to fall into Me unreservedly; 
Or to depart, and walk through dry places...

Says The Lord. 

==Gifts of the Spirit‎‎==
 
I call My servants out from among them, 
I appoint every office, and I Myself 
Number their steps before them...

For My gifts are given through the Spirit, 
And must also be received in Me...

They are in no wise open to claim, 
Nor shall anyone on earth assign them...

For only those in union with 
The Messiah are able to walk in them...

Says The Lord. 

==In Due Season==
 
I have a great vineyard, with many grapes. I have provided both the early and latter rain and tended every vine, pruning them with sure hands and delicate fingers. Yet many wither, while others fail to produce, and still others are slow to ripen. 
I have waited patiently and tended My vineyard, doing all that was necessary to produce a fair crop, and now it is time for harvest. Yet I tell you plainly, it shall be a very lowly crop, a very small harvest, for few have ripened to maturity. Thus they must be left to ripen in their season. 
 

And though the winds shall be harsh 
And the rains rare, behold, even all 
Manner of plagues shall come, 
I must not gather them 
Until their due season...

Says The Lord. 

==Lukewarm==
 
One who treads the path, going up 
And down, stepping on and off at 
Their convenience, treads not the path, 
But is like one who treads water...

By no means shall they be able 
To keep their head above water, 
Nor shall their strength deliver 
Them in the Day of Troubles...

Says The Lord. 

==Revived==
 
Behold, the day and hour is close at hand, 
Yea it is very near, when the dead in Messiah 
Shall arise and the sleepers shall awake, 
When the rotting corpses are revived 
And the dust gathers together once again...

From one end of the earth to the other, 
Even from the deepest depths, shall My 
People rise up and give Me glory...

Therefore let the children of Israel prepare, 
Let everyone joined to Messiah step forward 
And claim their inheritance...

For I have but to call out your name... 

Says The Holy One of Israel. 

==The Gathering Up==
 
Behold, the Glory of God breaks through 
The clouds, a mighty trumpet blast 
Sounds in all the earth!...

From the heights of the mountains 
To the deepest depths, life bursts forth 
In the bodies of the dead!...

Behold, a loud voice is heard from Heaven: 
“EARTH, GIVE UP YOUR DEAD! 
BRIDE OF THE BLESSED, 
COME UP HERE!”...

Says The Lord. 

==In the Arms of The King==
There is a place...

A place beyond space and time, where eternity dwells and life has no end, where light takes its form and goodness is revealed, where the eyes of the redeemed may look upon the Glory of God and see His face, where Heaven meets the earth and The Eternal dwells with men... 
A place where Everlasting Love can be embraced and healing flows like a gentle stream, a place where time has no meaning and the stars flee away, where the brightness is excellent and the warmth thereof very soothing... 
A place where joy comes by knowledge with pure understanding, where fulfillment comes by a strong embrace, and love’s completion is met with great satisfaction through many tears flowing down the cheeks of the forever young; a place where understanding bursts forth in realization, revelation beyond words!... 
 

A place where the hearts of the chosen are revealed, 
Behold, they are uncovered, revealing their true form; 
The image in which I created them, restored...

A simple quiet place, set apart... 

In the arms of The King. 

==The Creator==
 
When I consider, all creation is before Me; 
From the most minute detail to the greatest, 
Nothing is hidden from My eyes...

Behold, the whole universe abides 
Within My understanding...

For I am LORD and GOD, 
Creator of Heaven and Earth. 

==The True Bride==
 
The Bride is chosen...

My blood runs through her veins, 
My image is shown upon her face...

Behold, the light of My coming is reflected 
In her eyes, for I have captured her gaze, 
And she will by no means look away 
Or seek after another...

Says The Lord. 

==Heed My Words==
 
Beloved ones, wait upon Me, with all trust and fear; stand steadfast and be patient. Accept My words, as I have spoken them and as they are written. Do not add to My words, nor take from them; neither form for yourselves any private interpretation. Only give heed to My words and also do them, and prepare. 
 

For My words are indeed that light which 
Shines in a dark place, a lamp and a beacon, 
Preparing My way before Me...

Until the new day dawns and 
The Morning Star rises, filling the hearts 
Of My chosen as they enter in...

Says The Lord. 

==Followers of The Way==
 
When those who call of 
Themselves Christian, ask you, 
“To which church do you belong?”...

You shall answer them: 
“I belong to no church named of men. 
I belong to The Lord, YahuShua HaMashiach, 
Whom you call Jesus and Christ. 
And together with all those who 
Remain in His love[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+15%3A10&version=AMP] and obey His voice[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+3%3A36&version=GNT] 
Is The Church in which I dwell”...

Says The Lord. 

==True Baptism==
 
Let My beloved first be baptized 
In spirit and in truth, filled 
With the knowledge of The Holy, 
Nourished by the Word of Truth...

Let them come to Me in sincere 
Repentance, and receive forgiveness 
Of sins in The Messiah’s name...

All burdens lifted, immersed 
And purified in the Spirit of God...

For The Holy One of Israel is 
He who baptizes with the Holy Spirit 
And with fire, and He knows His own...

Says The Lord. 

==The Beginning of Wisdom==
 
Come together and reason, O sons of men. Look upon the works of My hands, and see with new eyes and restored vision, that you may behold the Truth. 
For all the works of man are here for but a moment, then quickly pass away. And that which remains, shall it not become fuel for the fire in the Day of The Lord’s Anger? And the knowledge of man, is it not foolishness in My eyes, coming to nothing before the light of My Glory? 
 

Therefore fear The Lord your God, 
And accept the truth of who I am...

For the fear of The Lord is the beginning 
Of wisdom, and the knowledge 
Of The Holy One is understanding[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Proverbs%209%3A10&version=NKJV]...

For I am God alone. 

==Remember the Sabbath==
 
Those who remember the Sabbath honor Me, and those who rest on the Sabbath rest in Me, as they look to the Day. For I had set the seventh day apart, and sanctified it, from the beginning.[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis+2%3A3&version=NKJV] Thus it has been a sign between Me and My people, even to this day, and so shall it remain forever. 
For as I spoke to the children of Israel, saying, “Surely My Sabbaths you shall keep, for it is a sign between Me and you throughout your generations, that you may know that I am The Lord who sanctifies you,”[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Exodus+31%3A13&version=NKJV] so also do I speak to you, even to all who are grafted in. 
 

For those who obey My Commandments 
Remain in My love[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+15%3A10&version=AMP], and those who remember 
My Sabbaths keep My company, 
For The Holy One of Israel 
Dwells in the midst of them...

For I long for My children to be with Me 
Where I am, I am eager to return them 
To the Garden, that we may once again 
Walk together in the cool of the day. 
 

Therefore remember the Sabbath, and I shall remember you. Bless the Sabbath, and I shall bless you. Love one another, as I have loved you. 
Put away your works, look not to the cares of this world, and let go of your worries on the Sabbath day; spare yourselves the weight of all these troubles for just one day. 
 

Let all your thoughts dwell upon 
Your God and Savior, and consider; 
Yea, let your mind be filled with wonder 
And awe over the works of My hands...

For even The Lord your God, 
Creator of Heaven and Earth, 
Rested on the seventh day[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis+2%3A3&version=NKJV]...

Says The Lord. 

==Prepare and Watch==
 
I am indeed coming down to shake the heavens and the earth, to move all from its place; to bring forth that which was hidden and to reveal that which was misplaced[https://www.thevolumesoftruth.com/Follow_Me#:~:text=And%20of%20My%20gifts%2C%20what%20have%20you%20done%20with%20them%3F%20My%20lost%20sheep%2C%20where%20have%20you%20laid%20them%3F%20They%20lie%20next%20to%20your%20faith%2C%20which%20has%20also%20been%20misplaced.]; to open that which was shut and to shut that which was opened. 
Therefore prepare, My people, for the time has come; yes, today is the day of salvation! Go forth, beloved ones, and set all these crooked paths straight; regain the line, prepare and watch. For the leaves of the fig tree are upon its branches; summer is near![https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+24%3A32-34&version=NKJV] 
 

Again I say, watch!...

For The One who ascended 
Is about to descend...

And lo, I am come, in the Volume 
Of the Book it is written of Me, 
To accomplish The Father’s will[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm+40%3A7-8%3B+Hebrews+10%3A7&version=KJV]...

Says The Lord. 

==The First Harvest==
 
It is written, all shall lie down in death[https://www.thevolumesoftruth.com/The_Judgment_of_God_Is_True_and_Without_Question,_Yet_the_Error_of_the_People_Is_Great#:~:text=Thus%20says%20The%20Lord%3A%20The%20penalty%20of%20sin%20is%20death.%20Thus%20all%20who%20have%20sinned%20shall%20surely%20die%2C%20all%20shall%20lie%20down%20in%20death.][https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ecclesiastes+9%3A2-3&version=NIRV]... 
 
Yet there is a people who shall not sleep, 
Nor shall they lie down in death - A people who shall be awake at My coming, 
A people who have received of the divine gift, 
A people who know Me and in whom I am known, 
For I see of Myself within them.

They shall be lifted up, not preceding 
Those who have fallen asleep in Messiah; 
This is the first harvest and resurrection.

For there is but One Way, One Truth, and One Life; 
From the beginning, there is but One...

I AM HE...

Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==To All Those Who Call of Themselves Christian==
 
Listen closely 
And take My words to heart, 
All you who call of yourselves Christian: 
I ask you, do you really love Me?...

Then follow Me...

Beloved ones, listen closely 
And take My words to heart, 
All you who call of yourselves Christian: 
Do you really love Me?...

Then obey My Word! Follow Me!...

Beloved, listen closely 
And take My words to heart, 
All you who call of yourselves Christian: 
Do you really love Me?!...

Then heed My voice and come out! 
FOLLOW ME!...

Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==Bear Fruit==
 
Beloved, bear fruit after the kind I have given you, in open and in secret. For what profit is there in sharing with another that which they believe they already have? And how shall one who pushes out the hand receive a gift? 
 

Therefore, turn aside from those who 
Push out the hand and wag the head...

Rather seek out the poor, that I may feed them...

Fill the bowls of the hungry, and place 
The cup in the hands of the thirsty; 
Give them your portion...

For My bounty is plentiful, 
Given freely to all who hunger 
And thirst for righteousness...

Says The Lord. 

==The Spirit of God==
 
Beloved ones, pray to your Father in Heaven, in The Son’s name, and through the Spirit we shall be one. For all My servants move, speak and hear Me through My spirit, and only through The Son shall My children come to know Me as I truly am... And oh how blessed are those who know Him, for they love Him and obey His voice, having truly received of Him, even of His spirit, the Spirit of God. 
 

Indeed holy, holy, holy 
Is The Lord God Almighty...

One God, invisible and visible, 
The Father and The Son; 
And the Spirit called Holy, 
Because I am holy...

Says The Lord. 

==It Is Time‎‎==
 
Behold, the time has come for My name to resound in all the earth, for all who dwell upon the earth to be humbled, to be broken without hand. Indeed, now is the time for all who have ears to hear, to hear and give heed; and for those who refuse, to forbear and rebel against Me. 
 

It is time for My servants to stand up, 
To receive My words and also do them; 
It is time to blow the trumpet, to sound the alarm...

It is time for My spirit to be poured out, 
For the hand of The Almighty to stir up 
The multitudes, for The Word of God 
To separate and divide the people...

It is time for My watchmen to proclaim 
The acceptable year of The Lord and the 
Day of Vengeance of The Lord their God...

For the ears of the first election are open, 
And within My prophets I have placed 
My voice, once again; I have surely 
Put My words in their mouths...

For I am The Lord, and I do not change. 

==The Spirit of the Word==
 
Do not judge according to human standards, nor by that which is put forth by men as doctrine, for they are greatly misled. Rather study to show yourself approved unto God, a workman that need not be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of Truth.[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2%20Timothy%202%3A15&version=KJV] For discernment with fear is righteousness. 
 

Therefore, beloved, remember: 
The spirit of the Word, and not the letter, 
Is the way, the truth and the life...

For The Messiah is indeed coming quickly, 
To baptize all in fire and glory...

Those of a wicked heart, in fire...

And those of the Spirit, 
In glory, forever and ever!...

Says The Lord. 

==Inheritance‎‎==
 
Behold, My people are afflicted, 
And My faithful ones are persecuted, 
Imprisoned and put to death! 
My little ones are brought to harm, 
And the innocent are murdered in droves, 
CAST OFF AS REFUSE!...

Therefore the afflicted shall be 
Given wealth beyond imagining, 
And the meek shall inherit the earth; 
The little ones shall be taken, 
And the innocent shall return home...

And they shall be My sons and daughters, 
Forever, life without end...

Says The Lord. 

==Restoration==
 
I AM THE RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE!...

And all who believe in Me shall not die, but live, 
For I shall raise them up at the Last Day!...

No more tears, no more death, no more pain, 
For the old order of things has passed away; 
All things restored in glory, the glory of everlasting life!...

I AM RISEN! YOUR REDEEMER LIVES!... 

Says The Holy One of Israel. 

==Call Upon The Name==
 
The wicked shall surely fall by the word of their own mouth, and by their works shall they stumble into the pit; behold, by their every word and deed have they condemned themselves to death. 
 

Yet if these same ones turn from their 
Iniquity, and call upon Me in the name 
Of The Messiah, they shall live and not die; 
They shall surely be delivered!...

For they have called upon The Name, 
The only name under Heaven 
By which you must be saved...

For He is called Jesus and Christ...

His name: YAHUSHUA HAMASHIACH, 
Both Lord and Savior of men...

Says YAHUWAH. 

==All Shall Be Fulfilled==
 
As I have commanded it, so shall it be done. As I have spoken it, so shall it come to pass. As I have purposed it, so shall it be accomplished. For My glory, all shall be fulfilled. 
Thus that which I have spoken by My prophets shall surely be. And though they stumble, they shall by no means fall, for they do continually humble themselves before Me. 
 

Therefore, blessed is the man who comes 
To Me ashamed of his trespasses, whose heart 
Is full of grief on account of his sins, 
For I am faithful to forgive his sins...

Indeed I shall lift him up, 
And set his feet upon hallowed ground...

Says The Lord. 

==Daily Bread==
 
Understand the Word of My mouth and that which is set before you, even upon each of your plates: I have bore you, even twice have you come forth - First by water and blood in the flesh, and a second time in the Spirit, yea even a third time when you shall come into glory. 
And behold, that which is first sown in your hearts is The Living Word. And that which grows from Me bears fruit, according to the food and drink I provide, the written Word. Therefore both are necessary, yet one must be first. 
 

Yet understand this: 
One who is awakened can not remain so, 
Unless they receive of Me and also 
Eat of that which I provide...

Therefore abide in Me, 
And partake daily of My supper...

Says The Lord. 

==True Knowledge==
 
Who among you has committed no murder, whether in heart or in action? Who among you has committed no adultery, whether in heart or in action? Who among you, O peoples of the earth, has committed no sin?! 
Behold, all have fallen short of the Glory of God, all have failed utterly in their attempts to gain righteousness; even the works of the most righteous among you are but filthy rags before Me. And for this reason did I come into the world, manifest in the flesh, to bear the full weight of the sin of this world - Immanu El. 
 

Therefore get wisdom, get understanding, 
And seek My face in sincerity and in truth...

Humble yourselves, 
That you may receive true knowledge, 
That you may come to know Me as I truly am...

Says The Lord. 

==One Fold==
 
Where does a shepherd spend his time, and which of his sheep require the most attention? Therefore pray in like manner. For indeed the ill of the flock require the most attention, and the one in ninety-nine who has gone astray shall by no means be forsaken. 
And though there are many who stand inside locked gates, while you stand outside, do you not remain all of one fold? And when I have freed them, will you not all rejoice together? Therefore treat them as such, and pray for them, even double, and it shall be well with you. For those who arrive last shall be embraced by those who had arrived first. 
 

Therefore let your heart remember, 
As you look to the day...

Says The Lord. 

==Mercy==
 
Hear and understand the loving mercies of God fulfilled in Me, even of those bitter tears which I have shed over all these who deny Me, over all these who betray Me by all they say and do: Beloved, in My anger I have indeed cast them out, appointing others to run in their stead. Yet I tell you the truth, though they now abide as one sitting along the wayside, they are in no wise broken off. For our bond is love, and any bond forged in My love can never be broken. 
 

Behold, even amongst My flock 
Have I received many kisses 
After the kind of My son, Judas...

Yet I tell you the truth, I have 
Never lost one who is Mine; 
I am in love with My own...

And though their thoughts betray 
Them, having given heed to many lies 
And deceptions from within and without, 
I know My own, and I will never turn 
Away anyone who returns to Me...

Says The Lord. 

==Peace==
 
My sons and daughters, from the beginning, I AM WHO I AM and shall be. Even to the end, I AM HE. From everlasting to everlasting, I AM. In this shall you find rest and know peace, says The Lord. 
Therefore no longer bind yourselves to what you see, nor concern yourselves with the things of this world and its evil ways. Free yourselves by the knowledge I have given you, by the understanding that I AM WHO I AM, freedom in the knowing I AM HE. 
 

Beloved ones, I have defeated the world, 
I have overcome your sins; 
Death is put to death because of Me...

Behold, I am risen, death is turned backward...

Only life is and shall be...

Says The Lord. 

==Refuge==
 
Beloved, there is but One Refuge, 
Only One Way to be found...

In Mashiach ONLY shall you find 
Refuge from all these troubles; 
Through Him ONLY have I opened The Way...

Therefore, My people, call upon the name 
Of The Lord in your darkest hour!...

For it is time for the name of mercy 
And pure righteousness to be glorified! 
It is time for God’s Salvation to be revealed 
To the first election, for the supplications 
Of His people to be fulfilled to the fullest!...

LET THEM BE DELIVERED!...

Says The Lord. 

==The Power of My Love==
 
How long shall the multitudes swear by things made, and place their trust in the works of man?! For the desolate know not the things of God, nor is darkness able to understand; yea, the wicked gnash upon their teeth, the whole body convulses in the wake of mourning, for there is no rest. 
 

Yet My hand caresses the cheeks of the hopeless, 
As we watch the dawning of the day together...

For the strength of My arm uplifts the downtrodden, 
My strong embrace heals the sorrowful, 
Every beat of My heart revives the dead, 
And the sound of My voice frees every captive...

Behold, the power of My love hides them away!... 

Says The Lord. 

==The Will of God==
 
Nothing, nothing in all creation, 
Can usurp the will of The Most High God! 
Nor shall any run out ahead of Me...

MY will shall be done on earth as it is in Heaven...

For it is purposed and can not be moved, 
Having been written in everlasting stone 
From the very foundation of the world...

I AM THE LORD. 

==Made For The Son==
 
You are and were created in fragile flesh, 
Beautifully crafted by the hand of your Father, 
Having been made alive in The Son...

In His image you are and were created, 
In love I created you, placing you 
In the garden to My own joy...

My own beloved who have received of My breath... 

Created by The Father, made for The Son... 

Says The Lord. 

==Across All Boundaries==
 
That atoned for by My blood 
Is far-reaching, even across all boundaries, 
Life and death, time and space...

For even those before Me were after Me, 
And knew The Father, who knowing Him 
Knew and saw the time of My coming, 
Having repented before The Father 
In His name, which is also My name, 
The name We shared before the world was made...

Thus by the heart is one judged, 
Of which I know, for nothing is hidden before Me; 
I made you and know you, having always known you; 
Even those who will yet come to Me, I see and know...

For I see you as you are and will be, 
With Me where I am...

Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==The Way Is Provided==
 
Come now and share in My joy, 
Abide in My love, enter into My rest...

For The Way is provided, The Lamb sacrificed, 
My own beating heart stilled in death, 
My own blood poured out 
So you may return to Me...

The curtain is torn; the way is open! 
Approach and draw near to Me; hear Me calling!...

For The Ladder of Heaven is joined to earth, 
Glorified and named above all names!...

Says The Lord. 

==The Tame of My Flock==
 
All who truly receive of Me know Me, and I live in them. And if I live in them, then in no wise will these turn away. For one who abides in My love shall never leave it. 
For they have tasted of the divine gift and have looked upon My glory. They will not depart from Me, but rest securely at My right hand. These are My sheep, the tame of My flock. They call out and I do hear them, even as I had called to them and they did hear. 
 

All My sheep hear My voice 
And know the sound of My voice, 
And seek to follow Me wheresoever I lead them...

Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==For My Own Name’s Sake==
 
Behold, My own people go the way 
Of the ungodly, following after those void 
Of the Spirit, married to this world!...

Yet I shall save them out of all their troubles; 
For My own name’s sake will I do it...

For the sake of Judah, I shall cover them; 
For the sake of Jacob, I shall hold them in safety; 
And for the sake of David, My servant, I shall 
Shelter them under the shadow of My wings...

Says The Lord. 

==Keeping The Law==
 
Say no more, “Grace versus The Law.” 
Say rather, “Grace AND The Law”...

For Grace is the fulfillment of The Law; 
And where there is an absence of grace, 
There is lawlessness...

Therefore, keeping The Law 
Is a reflection of My own spirit in you...

And oh how blessed are those who have 
Received of Grace, and seek to please The Father 
By obeying His Law, and teach men so...

Grace AND The Law... 

Says The Lord. 

==Nothing Is Hidden Before Me==
 
Nothing exists outside of Me, says The Lord; neither does anything continue outside My will. For even the evil of this present world is set within the confines of My will. For evil acts and brings forth of its own, yet is unaware that nothing is hidden before Me; neither has anything come to pass, nor will be, that I have not already beheld. And this, O arrogant and deceived generation, is why I said, “All was written and completed, even before the foundation of the world.” 
 

For I am God, THE GOD!
 The God of Abraham, The God of Isaac, The God of Jacob, The God of all!...

Even of all that is known and unknown, 
The Creator of all things...

The Everlasting, who is from 
Everlasting to everlasting...

I AM. 

==Not By Human Means==
 
What I have prepared can not be seen 
With the eyes, nor can it be attained 
By human means or mere proclamation...

Yet within the hearts of My own 
It is clearly seen, and upon the lips 
Of My bride the testimony is clearly heard...

For that which has entered into the hearts 
Of the chosen shall soon be realized, 
And that which has entered into the hearts 
Of the wicked shall return upon their own heads...

For hate brings forth suffering and violence...

Yet the love of The Messiah brings salvation, 
Escape under the shadow of His healing wings!...

Says The Lord. 

==According to the Number==
 
I am The Lord...

And though I bruise, I will surely heal; 
And though I pour out strong judgment, 
I will also show mercy...

For all appointed to captivity shall go into captivity, 
Yet I will deliver them, even all who call on the 
Name of The Lord in that day...

And though many will be brought low, 
Even down to the depths of darkness and despair, 
Behold, from the depths I shall raise 
Them up, even high above the heavens; 
Even from the ashes shall I bring them forth, 
And they shall give Me perfect praise in the 
Tabernacle of My glory!...

And so it is fulfilled, and shall also come to pass: 
The first shall be last, and the last 
Shall be first partakers of the glory; 
Yet all will be saved according 
To the number The Lord shall call...

Says The Lord. 

==The Bride==
 
The true bride is chosen; 
She has been called out and shall be lifted up!...

Behold, I will come for her and she will be taken, 
Caught up to My Father’s house for one week 
In The Lord, and we shall be together forever...

All tears wiped away...

Even every tear she shed on the behalf of others; 
Every tear she shed for the afflicted and the unborn; 
Every tear she shed over all this evil, 
On account of all this oppression and death...

Even every tear she shed in repentance, 
In seeking after her Bridegroom...

Says The Lord. 

==Reverence==
Peoples of the earth, do you know Me? Do you really know who I am? I am Elohim. YAHUSHUA-YAHUWAH is My name, both God and Savior. For in The Son does the fullness of The Father dwell...

Yet I ask you, who among the nations fears Me? Who among this modern generation, among all these multitudes of perverse and vile people, revere My name? Who, among this great multitude, trembles in fear at the coming of The Lord?! And who among the mighty shall be able to stand, when the wrath of God is revealed from Heaven?! 
 

Therefore repent, and establish My way before Me, 
Says The Lord God, and I shall also establish you...

For I am The Lord, and I shall 
Establish justice in all the earth. 

==Indwelt==
 
Who has given heed to the voice 
Of The Lord their God? 
Who has come out to meet Me?...

Behold, the lowly have come out, 
The poor in spirit have come forth, 
The broken have sought Me and 
The faithful uphold My cause...

Yes, these who carry The Messiah 
Within them have come forward to 
Partake of My supper, and do follow 
The Lamb wheresoever He leads them...

And behold, the day is near when He shall 
Call out to His beloved, and all those who 
Have ears to hear will be lifted up; 
They shall surely be gone from this place!...

Says The Lord. 

==Blessed Be The Name==
 
Behold, My name alone stands throughout 
The generations, a perpetual covering for My people, 
A secure place of shelter for all those who seek My face, 
A tower of strength for all who take refuge in Me... 
 
From everlasting, I AM, and to everlasting shall I be, 
The same and unchanging, even as My name...

For I AM WHO I AM...

YAHUWAH, The One who causes to be; 
YAHUSHUA, He by whom all things 
Consist and have life...

Thus My name is one, even as 
The Father and The Son are one, 
A just God and a Savior - ONE...

Says The Lord. 

==The Holy Days‎‎==
 
The significance of The Holy Days is found 
In their meaning and revealed by their order...

Even as all find their fulfillment in The Messiah 
And their completion in the coming of The Lord...

Says The Lord. 

==Set Apart==
 
Beloved, stand apart from 
This world in word and by deed; 
Take your every thought captive 
That you may be fully set apart...

Reveal your love for Me by all you say 
And do; put your love on open display!...

Rest in Me on the Sabbath Day 
And receive My blessing; 
Honor My Holy Days and remember, 
That you may also understand; 
Hold fast to The Holy Covenant, 
And no longer depart from 
The Word of My Commandment...

Says The Lord. 

==Beloved, Awake==
 
Beloved, awake! Awake from your slumber! 
Awaken your hearts to The Majesty on High! 
Embrace the full revelation of 
WHO I AM, of all I have done!...

For the Word of The Lord 
Flows like water, My love runs pure...

Therefore embrace My words and receive 
Of My love, that you may be filled with My spirit, 
To the bearing of much fruit in The Beloved...

Says The Lord. 

==Penitent==
 
It is the penitent man who shall know God, 
And penitent you must be; die to yourselves daily...

Cast off the skin of this world and walk with 
Me as I am, and not as you would have Me be...

Beloved, cast off your sins, depart quickly from 
Temptation, and to the accuser turn a deaf ear; 
For I tell you the truth, evil has lost 
Its grip on the redeemed...

Therefore hear My words, and also do them; 
Give heed to My speech, and embrace 
All I have given you...

Drink deeply from this cup, 
And be created anew... 

Says The Lord your Redeemer. 

==The God of Justice==
 
I am The Lord...

I know what is most needful, 
I alone do what is right...

And though I afflict, I will also heal; 
And though I strike the people in My wrath, 
I will also bind up their wounds...

Behold, I shall bring the kingdoms 
Of men to utter ruin, and make 
The face of the earth a desolation; 
For I AM HE who shall create new heavens 
And a new earth, in which justice shall 
Run down like water and righteousness 
Like an ever-flowing stream...

For as I have spoken, so I speak; 
As I am, so shall I be...

Says The King of Power and Glory, 
The Only Lord of Hosts, The Holy One of Israel. 

==Spare the Rod==
 
You have heard it said, to spare the rod is to hate your child. This Scripture is true. Yet I tell you the truth, the rod is discipline, and not that of physical punishment. 
O vain and ignorant people, stop perverting the Scriptures of Truth! Humble yourselves, that you may gain wisdom. A child’s disobedience is brought forth from a troubled heart and an unsettled spirit, wrought in ignorance. How then shall a beating correct the heart, or striking them with a rod bring about a right spirit? 
 

Beloved, do not exasperate your children 
By bringing them into subjection by abuse...

Rather take them by the hand, and lead 
Them in the ways of The Lord, with love...

For the love of a father is displayed in 
Tenderness and kindness, and is also 
Revealed through the correction and 
Discipline of those he loves...

Says The Lord. 

==The Seed and The Sower==
 
Beloved, you must ask yourselves, “Where have all these seeds been sown? Have they taken root? Or are they choked by the multitude of weeds which have sprung up?” Beware, for the birds gather, and wait eagerly to devour all seeds which have fallen by the wayside. 
 

Thus only that which is first shall bear fruit; 
For that which is foremost bears fruit 
According to the Seed and 
The One who has sown it...

Yet that which is put first by men, which is 
Not of the Seed nor of The Sower, must die; 
It must be uprooted and cast into the fire...

Says The Lord. 

==True Forgiveness‎‎==
 
Begin again in Me, says The Lord, for I have not left you. Behold, I am with you, even to the end of this age.

Beloved, you are forgiven. And in true forgiveness, there is no remembrance of past offenses; behold, even your sins of tomorrow are washed away. Therefore fix your gaze upon Me, focus not on your sin; give temptation no power, and to the accuser turn a deaf ear. 
 

Indeed, come all who struggle and are 
Heavy-laden, and I will give you rest...

Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, 
For I am gentle and lowly in heart, 
And in Me you will find rest for your souls...

For My yoke is easy, and My burden light,[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+11%3A28-30&version=NKJV] 
For all those who trust in Me...

Says The Lord. 

==The Fear of The Lord==
 
It is written: The fear of The Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of The Holy One is understanding.[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Proverbs%209%3A10&version=NKJV] 
Therefore all else is vanity, a false way, leading to great vexation of spirit. For I AM THE LORD. From the beginning it was I who had done it; even to the end shall I perform it; and behold, all is fulfilled according to My will. 
 

Therefore to fear The Lord your God 
Is indeed the beginning of wisdom...

For how can one know Me, 
Unless they first acknowledge Me? 
And how can one fear Me, unless they 
Believe, I AM WHO I AM?...

He who causes to be, 
He who called all things into existence, 
The Creator of Heaven and Earth...

Says The Lord. 

==The Living Bread==
 
Have I not provided a bounty? Have I not poured out and sent forth the call? Therefore let those who have come out abide in Me until the time, and eat also of this bread. For I shall be with them, yes, even I Myself shall be with them, close at hand, and they shall fellowship with Me in the secret place. They have all they need. 
Yet let those who reject Me and My Word, even this blessing which I have given to this generation, walk through dry places. For I have left them desolate. And so they must walk, they must tread the path they have chosen, until the time be changed, until they are broken without hand. I AM THE LORD. 
 

Therefore, again I say, 
To all those who have ears to hear: 
Seek not the table, but He who sits at it...

Says The Lord. 

==Walk In Me==
 
There are none like Me, beloved, nor has there ever been one whose love surpasses understanding, a love without end. For I had paid the ransom from the beginning, a dowry the likes of which has never been seen, a bride-price from The God of Heaven. 
Beloved, I stretched out My hands for you; I bore the weight of your sins, I carried your burdens! Therefore is My grace sufficient for you. Yet you must choose to stand up and walk in Me, relying on My strength in your times of weakness, by which My strength and your trust is made perfect. 
Have I not said, “In obedience is your love made perfect,” and, “Who you choose, not what you choose, is the answer”? And when you have chosen Me, is it not also your reasonable service to walk in Me? 
 

Therefore, again I say, choose...

For I am The Only Way, 
The Only Truth, The Only Life...

Says The Lord. 

==Service and Sacrifice==
 
I tell you the truth, ALL who forsake the poor and the needy, and the fatherless and the widow, do not know Me, and have no place with Me at My supper, until they become as those they have forsaken. For by no other means will they learn true compassion.

 

Beloved, to drink My blood is 
To receive of Me...

To give up everything is to walk in Me...

To suffer is to know Me...

And to die for another is to know 
The depths of My love. 
 

Yet I do not ask you to die for another, only that you push through - that you shatter all this stained glass with which you surround yourselves; that you be broken in pieces and truly become My disciples; that you love one another, even all those I send to you; that you surrender your lives and be created anew, trusting in Me to supply all that is needful... Trust which comes by service and sacrifice, says The Lord. 

==According to My Will and Purpose==
 
Beloved ones, all My sheep hear My voice. Yet each receives in proportion to their faith and in accordance with My will and purpose. For a willing, humble heart is open to Me, and one who is deeply in love with Me will hear My voice. Yet this is not equal, nor shall every servant hear My voice in the same way. 
For a prophet hears My voice, while another is moved deep within, while still others may only discern My leading, and this also is according to My will and purpose. 
 

And that which I do has a perfect work 
Within the hearts of My beloved, coming to 
Fruition in those who remain in My love...

Those meet for The Master’s use... 

Says The Lord. 

==In Open and In Secret==
 
Beloved, speak not one word concerning those who have hurt you, not one more word against those who have betrayed you. Forgive them, pray for them, and let them go their way. Beloved, love your enemies and pray for those who betray you, and double for those who fight against you, for they have lifted up their heel against Me. Let resentment pass from your heart, and no more let your tongue cause you to stumble on their account. For each is accountable for their own heart and that which flows from it, even to every idle word. 
 

Beloved, be My examples...

Order your speech like David, 
And conduct yourselves as Daniel...

Let your speech express your love for Me 
In every situation, and let your conduct reveal 
My spirit in you, in open and in secret...

Beloved, prepare as though I were 
Coming to take you this very day; 
Walk with Me as though we walk 
Together in the Garden already...

Says The Lord. 

==Doers of the Word==
 
In repentance I am always well pleased...

Therefore let the penitent now turn fully to God, 
And do works meet for repentance...

Let them no more be as the hypocrite, 
But let them walk close behind Me, 
Abiding in the shadow of The Almighty...

And what more shall I speak than 
That which I have spoken already?...

Therefore believe My words, and also do them... 

Says The Lord. 

==A True Disciple==
 
The power of My strength shall be 
Fulfilled in My servant’s weakness, 
In accordance with their love and faithfulness, 
And by their willingness to lay down their life, 
That they might receive of My life...

A man in desperate thirst who refuses every cup 
From men, yet gladly drinks from Mine...

A man whose hunger has brought forth 
Within him a great void, which can not 
Be filled by any earthly bread...

A man who strives to live by every word 
That proceeds from the mouth of God...

A man who carries Me within him, bearing the 
Scars of My Passion in his heart, always...

Says The Lord. 

==Serve Me As I Have Loved You==
 
From this field I have called a select few, to be My examples; not according to their own righteousness, nor by their own strength or intellect, but according to My Word and by My spirit which dwells within them. These have forsaken everything for the sake of their Shepherd. They follow Me wheresoever I go. They listen to My voice and heed the call, and will by no means follow another. 
 

Therefore, you also shall strive to be My examples... 

Beloved ones, serve Me as I have loved you...

And remember, whatsoever you do 
For another, you have done it for Me; 
And whatsoever you do to another, 
Whether in goodness or in malice, 
You have done it also to Me...

Says The Lord. 

==The Narrow Way==
 
I have indeed bestowed upon this generation a multitude of gifts, a great number of words, words of warning and unsurpassed wisdom, words of exaltation and correction, calling all in the earth to repent. 
Lo, I have expounded many words of unending love, with great passion, revealing My Mercy which endures forever. Behold, I have proclaimed the way of salvation, time and time again, and He whose name is The Salvation of God! Yes, I have blown the trumpet and called forth My watchmen, I have struck the gates and rattled the doors, I have shaken the foundations of the earth! And still the people hold fast, clutching the pillars and shoring up the doors against Me! 
 

Yet from the beginning I established the line, 
A narrow way which I had placed in the 
Midst of My people, Israel...

And in My mercy, I revealed The Way 
In which My people should walk...

Behold, even now I have placed a 
Plumb line in the midst of all people, 
Setting all these crooked paths straight...

For I am The Lord, and I do not change. 

==The Perfect Sacrifice==
 
Behold, I had come to you as a man, 
Clothed in the flesh, humble, My glory set aside; 
God become man, Immanu El...

Living as all have lived in the body, 
Yet not as man lives in the spirit; 
For I am clean, having no sin in My body, 
Nor in My spirit, having obeyed every 
Command of The Father - blameless...

The Lamb of God without spot or blemish, 
Sent to die for the sins of the world, 
Bearing the full weight of 
Transgression in My own body...

The perfect sacrifice, acceptable to God, 
Whereby all men are reconciled to The Father, 
If they so choose to receive of The Free Gift 
And walk in My ways...

Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==The Victory==
 
All those who repent in My name, with 
Sincere remorse in their hearts, are saved...

For I am The One who makes it 
Possible for them to do so...

And though some have fallen asleep in death, 
And others are slain, even by their own hand, 
I ask you, shall death have the last word?...

BY NO MEANS! 
For I shall raise them up at the Last Day!...

For I have granted them the victory, even as 
I am The Victory, being The Firstfruits from death...

Even as those given Me shall likewise be first 
When the shout is made...

Says The Lord. 

==Search Not in the World‎‎==
 
My grace descends upon all who repent in sincerity and in truth, and My spirit dwells within those who keep The Commandments and testify to My glory. Therefore, receive of Me; then will that which you seek become clear. For your heart’s true desire can not be found in the world... Seek God!

 Again I say to you, search not in the world, 
For there you will not find Me; 
Nor seek Me in the churches of men, 
For there you will not find Me...

For I tell you the truth, 
The Kingdom of God is within you...

Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==Ingress==
 
Beloved ones, give your attention to those things I have set before you, obey all My commands, and consider that which I require of you... Trust in Me. 
Run not ahead, nor lag behind, but grow wise in My ways. Keep your eyes fixed upon Me, and be keenly aware of My goings out and comings in... Follow Me. 
 

Yet remember this...

The state of your heart 
Dictates how much you receive, 
And your obedience decides the ingress...

Your willingness sets the pace, and the strength 
Of your grip will keep you from falling...

Says The Lord. 

==The Commandments==
 
In My love, I laid for you an everlasting 
Foundation upon which you were to stand...

And in My mercy I constructed high walls, 
Made with the finest stone, to protect you, 
Even from yourselves...

Engraven stones, 
Touched by the finger of God...

Says The Lord. 

==My Spirit Dwells in My Own==
 
Beloved ones, I tell you the truth, the people of this world do not know Me. Therefore I have come close, to unstop the ears of all who long to hear My voice and obey it; I have drawn near, to open the eyes of all who desire to look upon My face and partake of My glory; and behold, I have poured out My spirit to restore the hearts of the penitent, to breathe new life into all those who embrace My words and seek to remain in My love. 
 

For I am come[https://www.thevolumesoftruth.com/I_AM_COME], and have come already; 
And behold, I shall also return 
And reveal My glory...

I have not departed from My people, 
For My spirit dwells in My own... 

Yet all must be broken... 

Some broken before the time, 
And many more after... 

Says The Lord. 

==Restored==
 
Once you were lost, yet now you are found...

Once you were naked, yet now you are clothed 
In fine linens of white, your filthy rags cast off forever...

Once you were hungry and very thirsty, starving 
In a world of empty promises, lies and vain deceits, 
Yet now you are nourished with The Word of Truth...

Once you were sick, mortally ill, 
Yet now you are healed in Me, now you are 
Restored because of Me - My body, My bride...

My precious flower, My pleasant plant, of which 
I shall pluck from the earth at the time appointed, 
Replanted in the Garden at dawn on the new day...

Therefore come forth, all My people, 
And flourish in the light of The Lord, 
And bear much fruit in The Beloved!...

Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==A Spear and a Sword==
 
My every Letter is a spear with which I 
Shall pierce the heart of this people...

Every Volume a sword by which I 
Shall divide them asunder...

A rod and a staff for those who believe... 

I AM THE LORD. 

==Contentions==
 
Answer not the obstinate, nor strive 
With those who reject My words...

Give no occasion to the adversary, 
Nor give the mocker a voice; 
Give the scoffer no consideration at all; 
Let them eat silence...

Rather pray for your adversaries...

For they do not fight against you, 
They contend with Me...

Says The Lord. 

==Labor of Love==
 
Beloved ones, treat those of My body as you wish to be treated. Consider not what tomorrow may bring, nor dwell on that which has passed; embrace them as they are in this moment. For the one who stands in front of you is the person they are today. For who they were yesterday has passed away, and the person they will become tomorrow is not yet revealed. For you know not what tomorrow will bring, nor do you truly know that which has passed. You know neither the heart nor the mind, nor are you able to search the thoughts or look upon the innermost intentions. 
Therefore, treat all My beloved as you would treat Me. Embrace your brothers and sisters in Messiah as you would embrace Me, walking with Me as I am and not as you would have Me be. For it is written: According to the judgment with which you judge shall you be judged, and with the measure you use shall it be measured back to you.[https://www.biblegateway.com/verse/en/Matthew%207%3A2] 
 

Yet the servant who walks with Me 
Moment by moment, treating their 
Brother or sister as they wish to be treated, 
Shall walk free, unhindered...

Their every reasonable service 
Becoming a labor of love...

Says The Lord. 

==Do Not Judge==
 
It is written: Do not speak evil of one another. For whoever speaks evil of a brother, or judges a brother, speaks evil of The Law and judges The Law. But if you judge The Law, you are not a doer of what The Law says, but a judge.[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=James%204%3A11&version=NKJV] 
 

In the same way, one who speaks evil 
Of My messenger and judges My prophet 
Speaks evil of Me and judges the Word...

And one who judges the Word will 
By no means obey it, but have set 
Themselves up as an authority, a judge, 
Held captive by their own evil thoughts. 
 

Again, one who refuses My messenger can by no means receive My message, and one who judges him has blinded themselves to the Truth. For there is none righteous, no, not one. Yet The One who sent the message is true. Thus the one who delivers My Word must also be its recipient, or how shall I send him? And all those who judge can do nothing and shall receive nothing; even that which they have shall be taken away, says The Lord. 

==Spiritual Warriors==
 
What is man? He is but flesh, his power of no use at all. And in his pride he seeks glory for himself, a false valor. And so he continually turns to his own devices, deceiving himself, thinking he stands though he has fallen. 
Foolhardy, he rushes into battle where he suffers injury after injury, ignoring his wounds, wounds which remain unhealed, infecting the whole of the body. Yet he continues on in his arrogance, his pride driving him forward, unable to see that he is cast down, saying within himself, “Look at my accomplishments, look upon all I have done!” And all the while satan laughs, saying, “Behold my acolytes; see how these men of battle have become like me.” 
 

Sons and daughters of men, you are no warriors...

You are casualties, spoils of a war 
Which was won from the foundation 
Of the world, of which I was also slain...

For I alone bear the scars of battle...

Lo, I bear them in My hands and My feet, 
Upon My back and in My side, wounds which I 
Received in the house of My friends...

Says The Lord. 

==An Ensign to All Nations==
 
Let the Trumpet be blown loudly! 
Let the call to repentance go out 
And the announcement be made!...

For I have lifted up an ensign to all nations, 
I have set up a standard for this sleeping generation...

A bright and shining lamppost for My people...

A light, the glory of which shall not be diminished, 
But shall only increase by measure...

Says The Lord. 

==Pure Works==
 
Beloved ones, worship Me as I am and not as you would have Me be! Obey MY voice! Depart from every form of evil and tear down every whitewashed wall of abomination! 
Again, I say, be separate and come out from among them, and repent! Return to Me, in spirit and in truth, and in the day I stretch out My hand against the inhabitants of the earth, you shall surely be gone from this place. 
My beloved servants, share your gifts: Lift up the poor and help the needy, give drink to the thirsty and feed the hungry, share My love and wash each other’s feet. Yet no longer be a friend of this world, and no more walk in the ways of the churches of men, for they have not known Me. 
 

Be set apart! Rejoice and give thanks!...

Honor The Messiah in spirit and in truth, 
And walk closely in His example; 
Testify of Him, from His birth to His passion; 
Glorify His name in all the earth!...

For HE is the true gift... 

Says The Lord. 

==Escape==
 
Embrace My words, obey that which I have 
Spoken to this generation, and you shall surely 
Escape all these things which I am about to do.

For as it was in the days of Lot, when I brought 
Him out of the city, so likewise shall I deliver 
My people in the Day of Wrath.

For those in whom The Messiah 
Dwells must be taken out of the way; 
Then shall I judge the earth and strike the nations.

For I do not change... 

Says The Lord. 

==The Wrath of God==
 
Beloved ones, come to Me, and I shall give you rest; 
Be drawn to Me, that I may lift you up.

For I tell you the truth, My wrath is coming; 
Behold, My anger is aroused, My fierce 
Jealousy burns like a raging fire 
And is about to come to the full.

Yet do not waver, but understand.

For My wrath is required, and the foundation 
Of My anger rests solidly upon My jealousy, 
By which My unending sorrow is also revealed.

For My wrath is born of sorrow, 
And My anger bursts forth as a husband 
Jealous over his bride, My fury as a father 
Protecting his children, as one mighty 
In battle breaking through the lines...

Says The Lord. 

==A Dry Tree==
 
What is a dry tree to he who holds the axe?

Yet when the winds pass through and catch 
The man sleeping, is he not easily 
Crushed by the weight of the tree?

Indeed, what is this forest full of tall trees 
Before Me, standing so tall with roots deeply 
Embedded in the world, blocking always the warmth 
Of the sun at eventide, casting long shadows 
Under which the wicked flock?

Are they not soon left cold, standing in darkness?

Are they not as those who seek shelter under a tree 
When the rains descend and the thunder crashes, 
Who meet a quick end when lightning strikes?...

Says The Lord. 

==The Plight of the Ungodly==
 
The words of scoffers come forth 
From a hard and troubled heart, 
From a place void of understanding.

Their words are like chaff, their every lofty 
Assertion dust, carried away by the wind.

As a ship tossed about by rough seas, 
So is the plight of the ungodly; 
In a dark sea of confusion, they attempt 
To sail against every wind of doctrine 
Which opposes them.

Yet all their toil is in vain...

For I am The Only Truth! I am God alone! 

==Indomitable==
 
Behold, all I have spoken 
Is established and shall be; 
My Word yields to no man.

For My words are poured out like rain, 
And My voice shakes the house like thunder, 
My every word a hailstone released from 
The treasury of hail, which I have 
Reserved for the Time of Trouble.

Behold, My wrath is a consuming fire, 
A mighty earthquake, encompassing 
The breadth of the whole earth!...

Says The Lord. 

==The Weeping Willow==
 
What is the high branch of the palm tree 
To that of the weeping willow? 
For they know not each other’s place.

Each bears seed after its own kind, 
Yet the ground beneath remains unyielding. 
And without the rain, the leaf fades 
And the seed flees back into the dust 
Of the ground, unable to rise again.

Therefore are they cut down as the cedars; 
They are broken and they are toppled when 
Calamity comes to claim them, washed away.

And who will mourn their passing or 
Search out their seed, that they might 
Be revived in another place?...

Says The Lord. 

==Cast Down==
 
Is My Word in need of confirmation by those who say they know Me, yet do not really know Me? Is the Word of My mouth subject to men, whose understanding remains altogether lacking, whose knowledge is corrupt and whose power is of no use at all? 
Shall My words be made subject to the approval of any self- appointed apostle, prophet or teacher? Shall flesh usurp the things of God? Can mortal man ascend above the throne of The Eternal? Shall the created rule over The Creator, or the corrupt sit as judge over The Holy? Shall any attempt to occupy My throne and not be cast down?! 
 

Thus the highly esteemed shall be abandoned, 
And the self-appointed severely abased...

Left to walk through the valley in the 
Great and Terrible Day of The Lord, 
Until death comes to claim them...

Declares The Lord. 

==The Doctrines of Men==
 
The doctrines of men are a 
Loathsome spot on every garment 
Worn in the name of truth!...

A detestable wrinkle within 
The tapestry of My glory!...

A horrible interwoven thread by 
Which those who call of themselves 
Christian pollute My name and mar 
My image before the people...

Says The Lord. 

==My Hand Is Removed==
 
The penitent wait and 
Bow down in thanksgiving.

Yet the arrogant and false righteous 
Stand up proudly, declaring their 
Deliverance, a deliverance which has 
Already passed and shall not come.

For My hand is removed 
And My spirit taken.[https://answersonlygodcangive.com/The_One_Who_Stays,_Lets]

For only those in whom I see of Myself 
Shall escape, and only those caught 
In My embrace shall fly away...

Says The Lord. 

==I Am God of the Living==
 
There is a people who sleep and a flesh which has no life in it, there are many who have been lost to the depths, a great multitude who have returned to the dust of the earth and can not be found. Yet The Lord God knows their names and their dwelling places; not one has passed from My sight, not one has been given up to the void. 
 

Behold, the day and hour is close at hand, 
Yea it is very near, when the dead in Messiah 
Shall arise and the sleepers shall awake, 
When the rotting corpses are revived 
And the dust gathers together once again...

From one end of the earth to the other, 
Even from the deepest depths, shall My people 
Rise up and give Me glory!...

Therefore let the children of Israel prepare, 
Let everyone joined to Messiah step forward 
And claim their inheritance...

For I have but to call out your name!.... 
 
For I am God of the living, 
The One alone worthy of all praise...

Says The Holy One of Israel. 

==The Indignation of The Lord==
 
My anger is kindled and 
Burns in the heat of My wrath; 
My indignation has come to the full 
And must be poured out!...

Like a dark storm building upon 
The horizon brings foreboding, 
As a great torrent inundates a city and 
Running waters quickly overtake a town...

Like fierce waves beat back the shore 
Or a raging sea capsizes a ship, 
As the power of the great whirlwind 
Causes widespread devastation...

So shall the indignation of The Lord be!...

Says The Lord. 

==A Broadsword==
 
The name of The Lord of Hosts is a broadsword, 
And My every word a freshly sharpened blade! 
For in My name is great power, and at the sound 
Of My name all darkness flees away!

For as a razor removes the stubble, 
And fervent heat burns away the dross, 
So shall My name purge the waste places 
And cleanse the polluted cities...

Until all these squawking birds are brought 
Down into silence and every tall tower 
Is toppled and left in ruins!...

Until Babel is utterly destroyed and every 
Last vestige of man’s invention is wiped 
From the face of the earth!...

Says The Lord God. 

==Signs==
 
Many great signs have been given 
To this generation, yet all have went 
Greatly ignored by the multitude; 
Yet those who are Mine have clearly seen.

Yet understand this, 
These signs are but the first of many, 
And shall continue, increasing by measure 
Until the time be fulfilled...

Then shall The Son of Man appear, 
Clothed in the brightness of His glory, 
A brilliance which has no equal; 
Even the blind shall see!...

Says The Lord. 

==In My Footsteps‎‎==
 
Beloved, I delight in that which one gives to another in My name, and by the works of their own hands and feet in all righteousness. This is the tithe in which I delight most. 
Therefore if one comes to you, saying, “Give me a cup of water,” give them a drink in My name. And if another comes, saying, “I need a shirt, for I am naked and cold,” give them your shirt and your coat also. And if this same one asks, “Will you walk with me this far?” Go with them double. 
 

Therefore, tithe not only 
Of your money and material possessions, 
But also of your strength and your time, 
As one willing to give up their life for My sake.

For this is to truly know Me, 
This is to walk in Me, in My very footsteps, 
And to love your neighbor as yourself...

Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==The Way of the Upright‎‎==
 
Those who have received eyes to see, 
See the way ahead clearly and 
Without obstruction, and follow it.

And those who have received ears to hear, 
Hear the Truth and obey it...

Says The Lord. 

==A Welcomed Rain==
 
Beloved, I have poured out My spirit on all flesh, even as I was poured out for you from the beginning. Yet no one comes to drink, not one is willing to receive of Me as I truly am. Therefore I shall indeed remove My hand, and My spirit shall return to Me.[https://www.thevolumesoftruth.com/I_Shall_Remove_My_Hand_and_My_Spirit_Shall_Be_Withdrawn..._And_That_Purposed_from_the_Beginning_Shall_Be_Done,_It_Shall_Be_Accomplished_Swiftly#I_Shall_Remove_My_Hand_and_My_Spirit_Shall_Be_Withdrawn...] Behold, from every individual who refuses to give heed to My voice and embrace My correction has it departed already. 
Yet let all those who remain in My love understand and have peace. For though My spirit departs from the multitudes and the ensuing darkness be thick, though wickedness overflows and every man of pride who being wise in his own eyes is left confounded, I shall not make a total end. 
 

For My hand shall remain with the faithful, 
And My strength shall be revealed in My anointed.

Behold, My spirit shall well up within 
The hearts of the penitent and come upon 
My chosen as a welcomed rain, and they shall 
Be greatly increased, shining ever brighter, 
Even amidst thick clouds and darkness...

Says The Lord. 

==Prepare the Way of The Lord==
 
Prepare in the desert the way of The Lord! 
Make a straight path in these 
Dry and parched lands, 
For The Holy One of Israel!

Let every valley be exalted, 
And every mountain and hill brought low! 
Let the crooked places be made straight, 
And the rough places smooth!

For The Glory of The Lord shall be 
Revealed from Heaven, and all 
People shall behold it together!...

Declares The Lord. 

==The Joy of The Lord==
 
Beloved, come and be filled with the joy of The Lord, which never fades, nor does it slumber, nor will it ever pass away; a flood of joy flowing into the innermost parts of your being, cascading through your spirit, reaching deep into that hidden place known only to The Lord; a place crafted by My own fingertips, delicately fashioned so those of the flesh may know Me, unlocked and opened by the trusting in and the knowledge of The Greatest of All Loves...

A love which surpasses time and space, life and death, a place of perfect peace, yea inside pure and undefiled love; love of such a kind, cleansing every part seen and unseen, known and unknown; the love of such power and majesty, even that which has been corrupted is restored in the image of God... From grace to Grace, from light to The Light...

My glory shown in you and through you, bright and shining, a flame brought forth from My own glory, shared with My beloved forever; a flame which can never be put out, nor can it flicker, nor shall it be covered over again! For where I am there is no darkness at all! Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==A Trumpet and Alarm==
 
Let all who behold My words look upon 
Them as an ensign, as a waving banner brought 
Forth and set up for this wayward generation, 
Even as a trumpet and alarm blowing 
Continually upon the wall...

Let its sound rush through the streets of the cities! 
Let its noise be carried into the wilderness, 
Even to the outermost isles!

And let all those who have ears to hear listen, 
And be silent before their God, and pray.

Indeed, let all in the earth partake of My Word 
And be brought into deep and profound silence, 
And consider...

Says The Lord. 

==The Stone==
 
I shall increase the sound of 
My voice seven times, even as Jericho, 
Until all things break and all are broken...

Many broken unto death, ground to dust 
Beneath The Stone which shall be placed in Zion, 
For The Stone shall become a great mountain 
Filling the whole earth...

While still others, My hidden treasure, 
My battered and bruised sheep, 
The wild of My flock, are broken and 
Come to rest solidly atop this same Stone, 
The Rock of My Enduring Promise...

Says The Lord. 

==The Lord Your Righteousness==
 
The Lord your God has a Holy One. He is The Head of the body, The True Sanctuary, The Only Life Without End! Behold, He is a strong tower, a fortified city in the day of battle, an all-encompassing fire, The Mighty and Strong One whose rod is made of iron, The Law-Giver... The Source of Life by which all things consist, your Carpenter and Redeemer, The Salvation of God! 
Therefore wait upon The Lord with meekness and fear, with unwavering trust; wait for Him! For He is The Fountain of Living Waters for all who thirst, a fruitful vine for the hungry, a wealth of riches for all those who come to Me empty. 
 

Therefore, beloved, give Him glory! 
Lift up your voices with everlasting praise! 
Bring thanksgiving to the altar, 
And offer up your hearts before Him!

Shout His name to the heavens, 
For He is The Lord your Righteousness!...

YAHUSHUA HAMASHIACH!... 

IMMANU EL! 

==The Voice of The Lord==
 
And what of My voice, you ask? Its sound? Its tone? Its passion? 
This is what I say to you: Listen, and you shall also know...

How does water taste to the man 
Lost in the desert, dying of thirst?

How does food taste to the starving?

How does love feel to the desolate?

How does the warmth of a fire feel 
To those coming in from the cold?

How does the caress of your 
Beloved feel after many days apart?

How does a father look upon his newborn child?

How can one describe the sound 
Of love which surpasses knowledge, 
The sound of what My love is?

Can you hold the infinite in your hand?! 
 

Beloved, this is what My voice 
Sounds like to those who love Me: 
 

A still small voice. 
 

And to the rest: 
The sound of rushing waters, 
Lightnings and thunderings of fury and fiery anger, 
With deep and infinite sorrow, bitter anguish! 
 

Love. 
 

The Voice of Truth. 

==The Volumes==
 
My Word in The Volumes of Truth is the rod by which the translations of men are to be tested, a light which shines upon the doctrines of men to expose them, revealing them to be blasphemies and heresies before God, all of which shall burn up in the Day, when the fire comes to test the quality of each man’s work. 
 

Therefore, if one professing faith be wise, 
He shall humble himself before Me, 
Calling upon the name of The Holy One 
For knowledge, in where all understanding 
Flows to the truly contrite and penitent, 
Flowing in pure testimony, free from corruption.

And by this only shall one be wise in the reading, 
Comparing that which was given with that 
Which is put forth once again, discerning 
The Source and The Author to be the same...

One Word, One Book, 
One on-going Testament to My glory; 
By no means shall it be divided into three!...

Says The Lord. 

==The Tabernacle of My Mercy==
 
Behold, I shall come in an instant! 
In a moment, I shall reach down and take My spoil!

Therefore, let the remnant of Israel be found 
Waiting with eager hands, and let those grafted 
Into My olive tree bear summer fruit!

Let the sprigs sprout quickly, 
And let not the seedlings be withered; 
Let not the noonday sun wilt or scorch 
Any of My pleasant plants.

Be moved from your places, 
Oh My people, and be hidden! 
Be exalted, oh My beautiful ones, 
And find sanctuary in the tabernacle of My mercy!

Be sheltered from all this burning heat, 
Until the indignation passes by 
And The Majesty comes![https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isaiah%2026%3A20-21&version=NKJV]...

Says The Lord. 

==The Only Judge‎‎==
 
Nothing coming from the mouth of those who scoff and shoot out the lip against The Lord’s anointed, whether they be a friend or an enemy, a spouse or a relative, a neighbor or a stranger, a scholar or a teacher, a pastor or a self-appointed prophet or preacher, shall be accounted as true. Neither shall any weight be given to their arguments; it is wind. For I alone sit as judge, says The Lord. 

==Brought Low‎‎==
 
As the scythe cuts through the stalk, 
As the sweeping blow fells many plants at once, 
So shall the sharpness of realization cut to the heart 
Of this people, and in that same moment the 
Loftiness of many shall be brought down...

Declares The Lord. 

==The Author and The Finisher==
 
If you embrace the Scriptures of Truth, 
Yet reject My Word in these Volumes, 
You deny the Word of The Lord.

And if you embrace My Letters, 
Yet reject the Bible, 
You deny the Word of The Lord.

For I am The Author and Finisher thereof... 

Says The Lord. 

==Solace==
 
I shall not make a total end...

For I shall clothe all who come to Me 
In sincere repentance with fine robes.

I shall feed the poor in spirit, 
Wipe the tears of the remorseful, 
And uphold the broken.

I shall shelter the penitent and give grace 
To the humble, and the pure in heart 
Shall behold My face.

Indeed, all who wash My feet 
With their tears shall be comforted 
For one week in the house of The Lord...

Says The Holy One of Israel. 

==The Almighty‎‎==
 
I AM THE LORD...

He who sets up kingdoms and brings them to ruin! 
He who set the foundations of the earth 
And covered them with beauty! 
He who also set the stars in their places 
And caused the galaxies to take their form! 
He to whom all creation bows down!...

He whose power is limitless and by whose wisdom 
All things were brought forth, 
Whose authority is absolute, 
The God who reigns in Israel!...

He who was and is and is to come, 
The Almighty! 

==Refinement==
 
The lake of My burning heart is a consuming fire, 
And in the heat of My jealousy I shall purify 
My people seven times, until only that 
Which bears My likeness remains...

The refined lifted up, the wicked consumed, 
Destruction of every kind of evil!...

For I am The Lord who was and is, 
Even from the beginning, 
And to the end and forever after I remain...

Says The Lord. 

==The Planting of The Lord==
 
Pretense is not at all becoming of a servant 
Of The Lord; neither is the world a garment 
Which My elect shall wear.

Beloved, strip yourselves naked; 
Cast off these filthy robes! 
Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean! 
Turn away from this world, and come to Me!

Lay yourselves upon the altar and 
Become a living sacrifice to The Lord, 
The planting of The Lord, My pleasant plants 
Set in the midst of My vineyard, 
My beautiful ones grafted in...

Says The Lord. 

==A Unique and Lovely Song==
 
Here is wisdom: The prayers of My children are indeed precious in My sight, a unique and lovely song entering My ears. For every song sung in My name, whether in open or in secret, in sorrow or in joy, is received up to Heaven as a memorial before The Holy One of Israel, even as incense before the altar. For that which has come up before Me is a blessing, which is then received back again, a wonderful recompense for fervent prayer on another’s behalf. 
 

Thus that prayed due to a troubled heart 
Comes back again, to heal not the heart 
Of the one on whose behalf the prayer was offered, 
But to mend that which is torn in the 
Heart of the one who offered it...

Whether it be from anger to forgiveness, 
Or from anguish to peace, 
Or from tears of sadness to tears 
Of hope and joyful expectation...

Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==A Prophet==
 
What is a prophet?...

Is he not a man, My servant, 
Whom I have chosen and called? 
And when does My servant become a prophet? 
And what is the length of time he remains as such?

Lo, he is only a prophet in that self-same moment 
In which I speak to him and cause him to hear, 
Prophesying only as long as I cause him 
To speak or to write My words.

For there is no prophecy apart from My will, 
And without My voice there can be no prophesying; 
And without My spirit, no man may hear, 
Nor shall he behold a vision, 
Nor is he able to understand.

Apart from The Holy One, 
There is no knowledge... 

I AM THE LORD. 

==No Equal==
 
I am The Lord, He who stretched out the heavens and hung the earth upon nothing. I am He who created all these worlds, He who causes all things to be. I am He who formed man from the dust of the earth and gave him breath, and he became a living soul. Behold, I spoke all life into existence, yes, I am He who called all things into existence, saying, “Arise and declare My glory!” For all creation obeys the sound of My voice.

 
Yea, the whole universe declares My glory! 
For I am He who commanded the stars to shine 
Their light and the galaxies to take their form.

Behold, My voice reaches across the universe, 
And reverence is spread out before Me; 
For I command the hills to bow down and the 
Mountains to be brought low, and it is so; 
Yea, the whole earth trembles when I pass by!

For I am great in power and My glory has no equal!

Thus the fear of The Lord goes before Me, 
And obedience follows after Me...

Says The Lord. 

==Maranatha==
 
Fear God and put all your trust in The Holy One. For the power of The Father is displayed through The Son, for He is the express image of The Holy, The Salvation of God... He whose hand reaches far and wide, whose strength is almighty, whose wisdom holds all creation in His understanding, whose love endures forever! He whose righteousness comes, and had been stretched out before us, for every eye to see! The end of which shall be as a flood cleansing the sanctuary of His mercy, restoring all things, even to a new heavens and a new earth. 
 

Behold, it is time for the power 
Of God to be made known, for the name 
Of The Holy One of Israel to be glorified 
Above the heights of the mountains, 
To overshadow every hill!...

It is time for The King to return and gather, 
To reveal the glory of His might!...

Immanu El! 

==Trust In God Alone==
 
What is earthly, let it stay earthly; 
And what is spiritual, let it stay spiritual.

Hold not to the earthly nor to the 
Understanding of men, nor grab hold 
Of any private interpretation of Scripture; 
Trust not in the doctrines of men.

Hold fast to God, 
And place all your trust in The Messiah. 

==Open Your Eyes to The Truth==
 
Search, and you shall discover the truth, which is God. Dissect life’s structures; there He is, its writer and fashioner. Look deeper and farther than ever before, and there you will find Him. Calculate and count all things which are before your eyes, yes, search the cosmos, study it, and you will begin to know Him. No matter where you point your lenses, there He is, within the scope of your understanding. 
 

Behold, all discoveries lead to God! 
Though you need not seek, nor discover, 
For the knowledge of God is within you.

Yet only the shedding of the skin 
Of this world and the death of your pride 
Shall open your eyes to The Truth - 
Which is absolute, forever standing 
On a hill, bright and shining, 
Immovable, unbreakable!...

The Everlasting Stone which has 
Become The Head of the Corner, 
The Great Mountain which 
Fills the whole earth! 

==Seek The Light==
 
Those who seek to understand the dark 
Will soon find themselves trapped 
In the midst of it, unable to break free.

Yet those who seek The Light will find it, 
And I will show them The Way; 
In these darkness has no foothold...

Says The Lord. 

==The Redeemed==
 
Beloved, cast off your sins, 
Depart quickly from temptation, 
And to the accuser turn a deaf ear.

For I tell you the truth, evil has lost 
Its grip on the redeemed...

Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==The Riches of Eden==
 
Only those in union with The Messiah 
Shall inherit the riches of Eden, 
And only those who fully accept 
His sacrifice shall be restored.

For from the garden did you come forth, 
And to the garden shall you return; 
Yet not in the former manner, but in glory...

Created anew... 

Says The Lord. 

==A Right Heart==
 
A right heart bridles the tongue; 
And a forgiving heart absolves every hurt, 
Bringing peace to the mind...

Says The Lord. 

==The Restoration==
 
Behold, The Restoration is coming, coming quickly!...

All things restored as in the beginning; 
A garden where nothing is destroyed, 
And none are given to destruction; 
No more pain or tears, no more sickness or death...

Only life is, and shall be, forever!... 

Says The Lord. 

==Unchanging==
 
As I have spoken, so I speak; 
As I am, so shall I be and have always been...

For I am The Lord, 
And I DO NOT CHANGE. 

==The Time of Testing==
 
My spirit has spoken throughout 
The generations, in its steadfastness and quiet; 
Yet few have ears to hear, few are willing 
To open their hearts and receive My correction.

Yet now the time has come for those 
Who say they are My people to be tried, 
It is time for their works to be tested.

For the Word of My mouth shall declare it, 
And in the Day of The Lord 
It shall surely be made plain...

Every false way exposed, 
Every perverse tradition torn in pieces, 
Every detestable doctrine crushed 
Beneath the weight of the Truth...

Says The Lord. 

==All Tears Wiped Away==
 
Those who grab hold of their First Love 
With all their heart, with all their mind, 
With all their strength and with all their soul, 
Shall never go hungry, nor shall they thirst anymore; 
Nor shall the heat of the noonday 
Sun do them any harm...

Yea, even all their tears shall be wiped away 
In the house of The Lord...

Says The Lord. 

==Tipping Point==
 
I tell you the truth, that which is tipped can not be set upright again, and that which has been set in motion can not be stopped. Lo, even that which was held captive in the depths of silence has been released. Behold, it comes forth, increasing by order of magnitude, and can in no wise be put back again... Says The Lord. 

==One Salvation==
 
I have put forth a great multitude of words to bless you, a great number of loving and stern speeches. I have called this generation to repent, and have given ample warning. And those who cupped their ears heard My voice, and those who received of Me wrote My words in their heart, sincerely seeking to do them, that they might honor Me and bring glory to My name. 
 

For I AM THE LORD, 
And there is but One Escape...

Whether one lives or dies, 
There is but One Salvation...

No matter the time or the season, 
There is but One...

Declares The Almighty. 

==Trust==
 
Behold, the signs of My coming 
Are made plain and are revealed in the 
World everyday, even in every corner.

Yet that which I am doing is not 
Easily discerned by men; 
For their hearts are hard, and they 
Remain slow of understanding.

Therefore great trust is required, 
And must be born of real belief, 
Knowing I AM WHO I AM...

Says The Lord. 

==Acquiesce==
 
Listen to the sound of My voice, 
Fall in love with Me as at the first, 
Come to Me anew as in the beginning; 
Beloved, it is time to acquiesce, 
To fully surrender to the truth of who I am!...

To be submersed in My spirit, 
To be baptized in My love, 
To seek first The Kingdom of God 
And His Righteousness, which I am...

Then shall that which is needful be added to you... 

I AM THE LORD. 

==The Lord’s Day==
 
Behold, The Son of Righteousness shall rise up with healing in His wings, and you, My precious beloved, shall go out leaping like calves released from the stall! The King, Himself, shall cultivate the ground in that day, with streams of living waters breaking out behind Him! Behold, new life shall fill every corner, and the desolate places shall be restored! Whole forests shall burst forth from the ground, with every kind of tree and flowering plant, every kind of grass and fern reappearing, and every living creature leaping up from the dust of the earth, once again! 
Behold, The Lord’s peace shall be there! And nothing under the sun shall destroy, nor shall anything be given to destruction, in all My holy mountain! For there shall be no predator, nor shall any prey be found, neither shall the strong slay the weak. For as it is written: The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, the lion shall eat straw like the ox, and dust shall be the serpent’s food.[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isaiah+65%3A25&version=NKJV] All shall dwell in safety, with every living creature dwelling at peace with its neighbor. 
Behold, in that day everlasting righteousness shall reign in all the earth! For The King shall stand up, and all creation shall bow down! And He shall look upon the joy of His heart with gladness, and the blessing shall be fulfilled: He shall bless them and keep them, and make His face to shine upon them; He shall be gracious to them, and lift up His countenance upon them, and grant them peace.[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Numbers%206%3A24-26&version=NKJV] 
And thus shall My name be placed upon the children of Israel, even upon all who have been grafted in, and they shall be blessed. Yea, they shall be exceedingly glad, dwelling in the presence of The Lord, forever! 
Behold, the multitudes shall break forth into singing! For The Glory of The Lord shall be alive in their hearts, the seal of The Living God shall be upon their foreheads, the Way of The Lord shall dwell in their limbs, and unending praise shall be upon their lips! All their doings shall bear fruit in righteousness, for The Law shall be written there, even in their innermost parts! And behold, The King of Peace shall overflow, and His people shall be satisfied and have rest, our joy complete. 
 

Therefore, blessed are all those who seek 
Forgiveness in YahuShua HaMashiach, 
And also receive.

For in His name shall all find freedom, 
Solace under the shadow of His healing wings...

Life without end... 

Says The Lord God.

WORDS TO LIVE BY 
PART TWO

More Words of Wisdom 
From The Lord, Our God and Savior 
 
 
For all those who have dedicated 
Themselves to Me by means of The Truth, 
Those who have recognized My words 
And also do them...

Those who came to Me empty 
That I might fill them up, 
That they might be truly dedicated to Me...

Even as I had dedicated Myself to them also, 
That we may become one...

Set apart in My glory, for My glory, 
To the joy of their Father in Heaven...

Says The Lord YahuShua. 
 
 
Grow wise in Me, and live according to My Word, 
Even according to all these Letters I have given you, 
By which I have set all these crooked paths straight. 
For My every word is Scripture, My every Letter truth.

For it is written: 
Man shall not live by bread alone, 
But by every word that proceeds 
From the mouth of God[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%204%3A4&version=NKJV]...

Says The Lord. 

==I Am The Lord's==
 
A Prayer Against Temptation

 
I am The Lord’s! 
And I will no more give myself to diverse lusts, 
To the cares and deceits of my flesh and this world. 

I am The Lord's! 
My heart, it is The Lord’s; My mind, it is The Lord’s; 
My will, it is The Lord’s; My flesh, it is The Lord’s; 
The whole of my body, even all I am, I give to The Lord. 

I am The Lord’s! 
Yea, I pour out my life before The Lord, 
Even as He poured out His; let me receive it! 
In the name of My Love, I call out 
In YahuShua’s name, I ask to receive it!

YahuShua, My Life and My Righteousness, 
I want Your life!

My Lord and my God, I am yours! 
Do with me as You please, according to 
The good pleasure of Your will...

I give myself away... 

Amen. 

==The Bridegroom Approaches==
 
Thus says The Lord: I AM COME![https://www.thevolumesoftruth.com/I_AM_COME]… 
 
From the farthest reaches of creation to the deepest depths of the earth, below the foundations, from beyond time and space shall the sound of My voice come forth! IT SHALL RESOUND LOUDLY! I SHALL BE HEARD! 
Even within the hearts of men shall My voice burst forth, rushing through their veins, causing each of their members to tingle, a great and wonderful shudder within their spirits to the purging of their souls! 
 
For I sit higher than the tallest mountain, I am set high above the highest heavens, set apart and holy, set apart in power and great glory! 
 
Behold, before the beginning was My glory declared, and from the ends of time was My majesty set amongst the stars! Before the earth was made, I wore the universe as a garment! 
Who is like Me?! Declares The Alpha. Who holds all existence together by the Word of His power and by the vastness of His knowledge? Says The Omega. Answer, young children, answer if you know. Speak My name aloud; withhold not! SHOUT, MY SONS AND DAUGHTERS! Let your hearts burst forth with praise! Let every beat resound within your chests, to the praise of My glory! 
Bless the name of pure, unending love! Bless the name of mercy and grace, the name of righteousness! Bless the name of Him who bore your sins upon the tree! KISS THE SON! Says YAHUWAH, The Holy! Kiss Him upon His feet, kiss Him upon His hands, put your hand in His side–TASTE and see! Come close, and kiss My wounds which I received, yes, each one you gave Me. Kiss Me, and be separated no longer; partake of His fullness and receive of Me! 
 
Awaken your hearts! Rouse from your slumber! YOUR KING COMES TO YOU! He is just, HE is your salvation! His garment is righteousness! Have you grasped it? Hurry, lay hold on Him! 
He is My heart, says The Father. Press your ear against My chest, and listen to the sound of My love, every beat of My mercy. Feel the embrace of My arms, strong and gentle–I AM YOUR FATHER! Your heart’s one embrace! 
 
My children, have you heard? Have you truly considered? THE DESIRE OF AGES IS COME! Therefore sing, sing for Me!... 
 
THE BRIDEGROOM APPROACHES! 

==The Only Way==
 
Beloved children, I say this once again, so you may be saved: Come out! Come out from among them and be separate! Says The Lord. And no more touch what is unclean, and I will receive you![https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2%20Corinthians%206%3A17&version=NKJV] 
 

For there is but One Way!...

YahuShua HaMashiach, 
Yes, He who is called Jesus The Christ, 
HE is The Only Way!...

Therefore follow close behind Him, 
In His very footsteps, 
And you shall surely live and not die...

Says The Lord whose dominion is everlasting 
And whose authority is absolute, 
The Only Lord God of Hosts, The I AM. 

==Wake Up==
 
Wake up and pay attention! 
Awaken out of this sleep, be shaken out 
Of this slumber, and call upon My name!...

Seek out My will that you may know it; 
Heed the sound of this Trumpet and prepare!...

For My Kingdom comes, and My will 
Shall be done on earth as in Heaven...

Says The Lord God. 

==Hold Fast==
 
Beloved, prepare your hearts 
And do not abandon hope...

Though much death draws near and 
The pain of death increases in every corner, 
Though heavy sorrows overtake the land 
And tears fill your eyes, hold fast...

Embrace Me fully and do not waver... 

Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==Splendor==
 
I created autumn so all may Partake of My brushstrokes, 
And know I am God, and give Me glory...

For My splendor is written 
In the leaves of the trees; 
It is carried upon the wind, 
As it moves through the tall grasses; 
It soars high above on the wings of eagles, 
Yet remains as near as the fragile flower at your feet...

Behold, everywhere you look, 
The hand of God is clearly seen...

Says The Lord. 

==In The Image of God==
 
All have sinned and fall short of the Glory of God; there is none righteous, no, not one. And for this reason YahuShua The Messiah was sent to die for all men; thereby freeing mankind from the chains which held him captive, loosing him from the bonds which bound him to the punishment of sin, which is death. 
 

So then as The Messiah was 
Crucified and died, and is risen, 
So too must you crucify your life of old...

Who you were must perish, 
Along with your sinful ways, 
Then shall you truly be born again...

Revived and restored in The Image of God...

Says The Lord. 

==LIFE IS==
 
Blessed be the name of The One 
Who is, and was, and is forevermore, 
The Fosterer and Protector of those 
Tossed away in bitter ignorance...

For LIFE IS, before its very conception...

Says The Lord. 

==A Gemstone‎‎==
 
Like a gemstone shining in the midst of all 
This darkness, easily found by the eyes of God, 
So shall you be in the day you surrender your life, 
The day you give up this fight and return to Me...

Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==No Walls‎‎==
 
No church named of men 
Is the true church - not one...

Rather each member individually, 
Who believes in The Messiah and obeys 
His voice, in whom His spirit dwells, 
Make up the True Church of His body...

No walls, only spirit and truth... 

Says The Lord. 

==Marriage‎‎==
 
I gave unto man woman, 
From his side did I form her, 
And he who was one became two; 
And behold, the two became one again in marriage...

Two of one flesh, man and woman[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis+2%3A21-24&version=NKJV]...

And I saw that it was very good... 

Says The Lord. 

==Bitter==
 
If you dispense the food of God to the hungry, 
While using your own salt to salt that which 
Has salt in itself, will not the food you offer 
Lose its flavor and become bitter in the mouths 
Of those who came looking to be fed?...

Says The Lord. 

==Gone From This Place==
 
The Thief shall enter the house 
And steal away all who are not tied down, 
Fastened, or shackled to the house...

And all those in whom He sees of Himself 
Shall surely be gone from this place!...

Says The Lord. 

==A Modest Answer‎‎==
 
Saying “I don’t know” is truthful,  
Humble, a modest answer...

Yet assertions without knowledge are akin 
To a lie, the seeds of pride and vanity...

Says The Lord. 

==Sanctuary==
 
Come out from among them, 
And take refuge in Me...

For I am your only shelter, 
Your only sanctuary from the storm...

Says The Holy One of Israel. 

==Bless Those Who Curse You==
 
My children, struggle not against the principles of another, nor rebuke them with your own words, nor correct them by your own understanding. Let go of your personal notions of right and wrong, and strive to love others in spite of yourselves, and have compassion for those with whom you disagree. 
 

Do not judge them, 
Nor shun them in your heart...

Rather love those who speak against you, 
Because you obey My Word...

Bless those who curse you, 
And pray for those who mistreat you, 
As it is written[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+5%3A44&version=NKJV]...

Says The Lord. 

==The Only Faithful and True Witness==
 
I have written it on tablets of stone 
And within the heart of man, and within 
The pages of My Book it is made plain; 
Thus they are without excuse...

For I am God alone, The Righteous One...

I alone am holy, just and good; 
I alone have divided right from wrong; 
I alone have established 
The Law and define what is sin; 
Behold, I expose the darkness and bring 
All hidden things into the light...

For I alone sit as Judge, 
The Only Faithful and True Witness...

Says The Lord. 

==Created Anew==
 
Trust in Me, and you shall be set free...

For it is the humble, 
Penitent man who shall see God; 
Behold, he shall look upon My face, 
As I restore him in My image...

For I am the image of The Invisible God, 
The perfect reflection of The Father, 
The face of The Majesty from on high, 
Immanu El...

Therefore open your heart to Me, 
And I shall create you anew...

Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==Humble and Penitent==
 
All upon the earth who have gained maturity 
Have become so very poor and desolate...

For once you were wealthy, 
Rich beyond words, for then you knew 
The Kingdom of Heaven as a child; 
Yet now you are grown, your light 
Quickly fading, as the ways of this 
World pull you down to the pit...

Therefore return to Me, humble and penitent; 
Come to Me as a child...

For by no other means shall you pass through[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+18%3A3-4&version=NKJV]...

Says The Lord. 

==The Pure of Heart==
 
What is a child’s inheritance on earth and in Heaven, if the years of their life be few in number and they remain in their innocence? Assuredly, I say to you, they will inherit The Kingdom of Heaven, for The Father holds the pure of heart in the palm of His right hand. For like the firefly which alights upon the tall grass, so are these little ones, precious lights shining among men. 
 

And though the little ones may suffer 
At the hands of men in this world, 
I tell you the truth, all arrive at 
The Father’s house in a moment, 
In the twinkling of an eye...

Where healing is complete 
And every tear is wiped away, 
The ways of the world and men forgotten...

Only love abides, as they look upon 
The face of their Father forever...

Says The Lord. 

==Rest==
 
Many things shall be put to rest in 
The Lord’s Day, even death and the grave; 
Destruction shall have no place, 
And evil shall be far removed...

For as it is written: 
They shall not hurt nor destroy in all 
My Holy Mountain, for the earth shall be 
Full of the knowledge of The Lord 
As the waters cover the sea[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isaiah+11%3A9&version=NKJV]...

Therefore, beloved ones, pray always 
That you are counted worthy to 
Enter My rest, that you may abide 
In the presence of The Lord, forever...

Says The Lord. 

==Your Only Salvation==
 
O most foolish and deceived generation, 
Can anyone cut out their own heart and live?...

And who is able to walk alone in darkness, 
Without a light to guide them? 
Who shall uphold them when they stumble 
Or catch them when they fall? 
Who will bind up their wounds?...

O ignorant and confused generation, 
Deceived peoples, The Stone which you seek 
To cast off is LIFE, your only salvation!...

Says The Lord. 

==Your Help and Your Shield==
 
The Mashiach is your help and your shield...

YahuShua, whom you call Jesus and Christ, 
Is The Rock of your Salvation, 
The One who is and was and is to come; 
For The Father and The Son are One...

Therefore embrace Me in My Mercy, 
And receive of Me in My Great Love...

Says The Lord God. 

==The Lord’s Table==
 
The Lord’s table is a bounty...

And those who eat from My plate are 
Always full, and those who drink from 
My cup shall never go thirsty...

For My cup overflows, 
Bearing fruit in every part of your life, 
Bringing forth love and understanding...

Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==The Sign of The Son of Man==
 
The heavens shall be divided, 
And divided again, the glory thereof 
Stretching from the earth to heaven, 
And the clouds shall be rolled back like a scroll...

Behold the brilliance, O earth! 
Be bowed down and weep, O sons of men! 
For The One whom you pierced is about to appear![https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Zechariah+12%3A10&version=NKJV]...

Let every eye be opened therefore, 
Let all in the earth see, until the fullness 
Of the revelation is made complete...

Thus that which was the beginning and the end 
Shall also be the end which brings forth 
The new beginning...

Says The Lord. 

==Soiled==
 
The water of the earth can only cleanse 
That which is soiled on the skin; 
By no means can it cleanse 
That which is soiled in the spirit...

This is reserved for the blood of The Lamb... 

Says The Lord. 

==Against God==
 
That which is unnatural is universally known, 
Though the men and women of this world deny it; 
And that which is against God shall be purged by fire...

Even all that offends shall be destroyed 
And come to a swift end...

Says The Lord. 

==Walk With Me==
 
My Word is for all who truly seek Me 
And long to know My ways, 
Even to walk in them...

Thus My Word can only be accepted 
And understood by those who have 
Received the love of the Truth, 
For they abide in Me and 
My spirit resides within them...

For how can one who stands 
Apart from Me know Me? 
And how can one who teaches his 
Own way walk with Me in Mine?...

Says The Lord. 

==The Water of Siloam==
 
Men do not have understanding of the Scriptures in themselves. Rather it is a gift from God, received through the Holy Spirit, given to those who have placed all their trust in The Holy One, embracing Me as I truly am. Or have you never read this Scripture: The fear of The Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of The Holy One is understanding?[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Proverbs%209%3A10&version=NKJV] 
Therefore to those who have received is all revealed, and to those who have not received is all shut away. Shall the darkness understand the light? For only those of The Light, bathed in His glory, shall see - the rest left blinded. 
 

For until one calls on the name of 
The Messiah, in sincerity and in truth, 
By no means shall they receive...

For He is The One who had placed 
The mud upon their eyes to heal them...

Behold, He is also The Water of Siloam 
Which was sent to wash them, 
That they might now see[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+9%3A6-7&version=NKJV]...

Says The Lord. 

==The Perfect Reflection==
 
Apart from Me, there is no wisdom! Apart from The Holy One, there is no life! Apart from The Vine, there are no branches! 
Behold, the leaves wither and the fruit has been cast down, for the people have no favor with God. Thus every dry branch must be broken off and cast into the fire, all corrupt fruit must be left and tread down.  
For the temple of God has lost its form; its comeliness has departed, every chamber is empty. For the heart of man is void, his countenance unyielding. Thus the pride of man has become a chasm, both deep and wide. 
 

Therefore repent, and receive of Me 
As I am, and not as you would have Me be, 
That you may be truly born again.

For I am the perfect reflection of The Father, 
The image of The Invisible God...

I died, behold, I am risen, 
And by My life are you saved; 
That you might become the perfect  
Reflection of Me, The One alone  
In whom is everlasting life...

Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==My Body, My Bride==
 
My church has no walls, 
And is called by no other name except 
The name The Father has given Me...

Its members are of one mind 
And one spirit, of one love, 
One flock with one Shepherd...

A people set apart who keep 
The Commandments of The Father 
And remain faithful to The Son, 
Striving always to walk in My ways...

For those who truly know Me 
Dwell in Me, and I in them; 
For they are Mine, even as I am theirs also...

My body, My bride... 

Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==The Remnant==
 
I am He who searches the hearts 
And minds, I know My own; 
I know whose love is steadfast, 
Whose faith is unmoving...

And this is the True Church 
My people long for, the remnant 
Which now is and is yet to come...

For it is not found outwardly in the world, 
But inwardly, in the temple of God...

I AM THE LORD. 

==The Truth==
 
The Scriptures are not malleable; 
The Commandments do not change!...

For The Truth is absolute, 
Forever standing on a hill, 
Bright and shining, 
Immovable, unbreakable!...

The Everlasting Stone which has 
Become The Head of the Corner[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+21%3A42&version=KJV], 
The Great Mountain which fills the whole earth[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Daniel+2%3A35&version=NKJV]...

Says The Lord. 

==Absolute==
 
The Word stands forever...

Immovable and everlasting, 
Unchangeable, having complete 
Authority over all things, 
The light and the dark, 
The righteous and the wicked...

Indeed, the whole universe is 
Set within the confines of His will, 
Giving heed to Him who created it, 
Forever and ever...

Says The Lord. 

==Twin Daggers==
 
My words are fire, singeing the forehead 
Of the arrogant, setting the countenance 
Of the prideful ablaze, twin daggers 
Piercing the heart of every hearer...

Therefore hear the Word of The Lord, 
And heed the call...

For it is a call to repentance, a shout 
And a witness, a proclamation of Truth...

A trumpet of alarm and war, a declaration 
Of judgment, a strong rebuke...

Says The Lord. 

==Abolished==
 
The reign of evil shall be abolished, 
The wicked stricken and the evil of heart 
Blotted out, extinguished in the 
Lake of My burning heart...

For My heart is set ablaze in My anger, 
And My countenance burns like a raging fire; 
My sadness is infinite, the weight of 
Unending sorrow covers Me...

For as I live, says The Lord, I take no 
Pleasure in the destruction of the wicked...

But call all in the earth to repent, 
To turn from their evil ways 
And return to Me...

Says The Lord. 

==Every Heart Laid Bare==
 
One Commandment broken are all Commandments broken. One sin committed in The Messiah’s name are all sins accounted to you. One sin repented in His name, all are forgiven you. For I know your thoughts, My children, even your innermost intentions, and I know whether or not you are fully converted in your hearts.  
And though you may lie to yourselves, and bear false witness in the sight of many witnesses, nothing is hidden from the eyes of God - every lie exposed, every heart laid bare, in the Day I rise up and judge the earth. 
 

Come to Me, therefore, in sincerity and in truth; 
Humble yourselves in The Messiah’s name...

For He is The True Light, utterly void of darkness, 
The Only Way to follow, The Truth Absolute; 
By Him alone shall you walk into everlasting life...

For only those who walk in Him shall find Me, 
And only those in union with Him shall know Me...

Says The Lord. 

==The Only True Religion==
 
I am The Way, The Truth, and The Life...

And this is pure, undefiled love, 
The only means by which The Law 
Of The Father may be fulfilled: 
You shall love The Lord your God 
With all your heart, with all your mind, 
With all your soul and with all your strength; 
And yes, beloved, you shall love 
Your neighbor as yourself...

For this is to walk in Me, this is to abide in Me, 
The only true religion in which is life...

Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==True Faith==
 
True faith has a name, 
And true religion yields fruit of the same...

A Bride who obeys the voice of her 
Husband and walks in His ways, 
A people worthy to be called by His name...

Says The Lord. 

==Regain the Line==
 
Beloved, turn aside and come to Me.

Regain the line and together we shall walk, 
Choosing the good and refusing the evil, 
Until you also have forgotten your sin.

Behold, it is separated from you 
As far as the east is from the west...

Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==Worthless Images==
 
Do not put your trust in idols, nor in any man-made image forged of stone or marble, or of wood or brass, gold or of fine metal; there is no life in it! For they can not speak or walk; they have no power at all. 
Yea, men bear them upon their shoulders, for they can not move from their places. They have no strength, they are helpless, worthless images carved in futility and must be borne. 
 

Look how easily they are toppled 
By the wind and broken in pieces, 
When the earth is shaken but a little...

Says The Lord. 

==Impotent Leaders==
 
Do not put your trust in any man, 
Though he speaks with a clever tongue, 
With many enticing words of unity 
And peace, and many great promises...

And though others bow down to him 
And give him glory, you shall not 
Place your trust in any man...

For man is but flesh...

Easily crushed beneath the weight 
Of a single branch falling from a tree...

Says The Lord. 

==The Prince of Peace==
 
YahuShua HaMashiach 
Is The Fulfillment of all things, 
The Truth and Understanding you seek, 
The Meaning of Life...

HE is The Bread which came down 
From Heaven to feed those who hunger, 
The Fountain of Living Waters for those 
Who thirst, The Prince of Peace...

The ONLY Way, The ONLY Truth, 
The ONLY Life...

Says The Lord God. 

==The Goal==
 
The spirit of The Law is shown 
In The Messiah’s vesture, He being the 
Same One who taught you The Law anew, 
By His example and by His every word and deed...

For The Law is fulfilled in The Messiah; 
Indeed, He is the goal at which the Torah aims[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans+10%3A4&version=CJB]...

Says The Lord God. 

==Life Without End==
 
My mercy endures forever...

And those who receive of My Mercy 
Shall likewise endure, forever...

Says The Lord. 

==Cherished==
 
The works of men are evil, even from their youth...

Thus the little children shall be 
My inheritance, and the babes My jewels...

For the innocent come forth as lights shining 
Out of darkness, gifts born from the womb; 
They are precious; to be cherished 
Is every child in their youth...

For the innocent are of more value 
Than gold and silver, prized 
Above precious stones...

Says The Lord. 

==ONE==
Give heed to My words and understand. For as I had spoken to My friends in times past, so now do I also speak to you. For the time has come and is coming and is already here, when all signs and wonders shall be made manifest, when all prophecy shall be fulfilled. Rejoice, for your redemption draws near! And though the time of great sorrows has come in, hold fast, for these days shall be shortened... No more pain, no more tears, no more death, all sorrows passing away, rebirth, a time of refreshing which shall never end.
 
Therefore, remember My words and have peace:

One God... 
 
One Son, The Only Way to The Father...

One Truth, One Word, One Messiah, One Spirit; 
One Food, One Bread and One Drink...

One Body...

Of which I am all, 
The All in All...

Says The Lord. 

==Take Your Fill‎‎==
 
Come and drink fully of that which is sweet; 
Come and drink also of that which you perceive 
To be bitter and very hard to swallow...

Ingest it fully...

For it too shall become sweet 
When understanding comes...

Says The Lord. 

==More Than the Asking==
 
Repentance is more than the asking...

It must come from a deep desire to be 
Set free in My love, followed by a sincere 
Unyielding commitment to make your 
Love perfect through obedience...

The shedding of the skin 
Of this world, the crucifying 
Of your old man with his sinful ways...

The putting on of the new man 
Who is renewed in the knowledge 
Of The Holy One, conforming to the 
Image of Him who created him[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Colossians%203%3A9-10&version=NKJV]... 

Says The Lord. 

==Lead by Example==
 
Strive to walk as I walked, and they will see, 
For every veil is lifted in Me...

Be steadfast and forthcoming; 
Make honesty your companion 
And integrity your close friend...

Lead by example, with quiet boldness 
And steadfast trust, and they will begin to see...

Says The Lord. 

==A Shining Example==
 
To abide in the doctrine of The Messiah 
Is not mere proclamation or belief...

To abide in His doctrine is to LIVE by His words, 
A shining example of righteousness, 
Striving always to make your love 
Perfect through obedience...

That those close to you, even to the passerby, 
May see your good works and glorify 
Your Father in Heaven...

For it is written: 
One does not live on bread and 
Water alone, but by every word that 
Comes from the mouth of God[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%204%3A4&version=NKJV]...

So then do not just give voice and preach, 
But ABIDE in the doctrine of The Messiah...

By example shall you lead them... 

Says The Lord. 

==Let The Law Be Written in Your Heart==
 
I am the fulfillment of The Law, 
The very goal at which the Torah aims...

Thus all those who embrace Me 
Are freed from the curse of The Law, 
But by no means are they now free 
To forsake The Law...

Rather let The Law be written in your heart...

For now you are under grace, 
And by the power of My own spirit 
Are you now able to keep The Law...

Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==First Partakers==
 
God is just in everything...

And if The Father’s justice is not partial, 
Then it shall surely come to pass in these 
Latter days, that those who have 
Placed themselves first shall be last...

And those who were seen as last 
Shall be first partakers of The Glory...

Says The Lord. 

==Be Born Again‎‎==
 
Repent in sincerity and in truth...

Return to your First Love, 
Walk in the first works; 
Embrace The Word of God anew, 
Bringing forth works worthy of repentance...

That you may truly be born again... 

Says The Lord. 

==A Continual Washing==
 
I tell you a mystery: It has been appointed to those who are born twice to die once, but by no means shall they die a second time. Yet those who do not come to Me in repentance shall be born once and die twice. Yet there are some among this generation who shall never taste death, having already passed from judgment into life. 
Thus to My chosen elect, there is a death of the body unto resurrection. Yet for those still living at My return, there is a death of another kind - the crucifying of your old man with his sinful ways, the putting on of the new man who is renewed in the knowledge of the Truth, restored in the image of Him who created him.[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Colossians%203%3A9-10&version=NKJV] 
Thus when one is born into this world, the child and the mother suffer the pangs of childbirth, until the birth is complete. In the same way, those born of the Spirit shall suffer travail. For they are not yet separated from their flesh or this world, in which they continually stumble. 
 

So then, being born again is the process 
By which you are restored in the image of God, 
A continual washing, until you come into glory...

Says The Lord. 

==Reborn==
 
As a babe is born naked and wrapped in soft linens, 
So also shall My people be reborn - 
Naked, void of the things of this world, 
Clothed in fine linens of white...

Behold, the corruptible has put on incorruption, 
And the mortal, immortality, as it is written[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Corinthians%2015%3A54&version=NKJV]...

Says The Lord. 

==The Perfect Lamb==
 
I carried the weight of the world’s sin to the cross, 
And crucified sin through My suffering - 
The penalty of sin abolished as I fell asleep, 
The Victory established for all time upon My rising...

For I am and will always be The Perfect Lamb, 
Without spot or blemish, given up for many...

The Restoration of All Things... 

Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==One Source==
 
That which glorifies Me can have only one source...

And that which denies My sacrifice, as though it 
Were not enough, steals from My glory, 
And this also has one source...

Says The Lord. 

==I Shall Not Lose One‎‎==
 
I forgive all who return to Me...

Even the one in ninety-nine who goes astray; 
Even the one among twelve who betrays Me...

For I am The Lord...

And of all those The Father 
Has given Me, I shall not lose one...

Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==Fear Not==
 
Beloved, I know when each will come to Me, I know every trial and tribulation. Therefore, call on My name in this time of darkness, in this time of great calamity and fear. Hold fast through all these tears, endure in these times of trouble.  
 

Fear not, for I have overcome the world; 
I hold the keys of death and Sheol, 
And The Book of Life is held 
Securely in My right hand...

No one can steal you from My love; 
No one can pluck you from My hand; 
No one can break off what I have grafted in...

For I know you as you are and as you will be, 
With Me where I am...

Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==True Wisdom==
 
True wisdom is not of man, nor is it found in the earth, but from above - heavenly, holy. For that created was created according to the wisdom of Him who created it and by whom all things consist, knowing their form from the beginning. Therefore the fear of The Lord is indeed the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of The Holy One is understanding, as it is written.[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Proverbs%209%3A10&version=NKJV] For apart from Me there is no knowledge, apart from Me all understanding passes away. For I AM HE, The Only Fountain from which flows all wisdom and knowledge, The Source of all things. 
 

So then all who receive of Me grow wise, 
Receiving of that which is pure, 
Learning to walk in that which is eternal...

As one being led along a mountain stream 
Of living waters, filled with a fervent 
Desire to seek out its source...

Drinking from it along the way, 
Gaining strength in weakness, 
Leaving all behind in their holy pursuit...

Says The Lord. 

==The Only Truth==
 
I AM...

And you are in life because of Me...

And all that is, even all these worlds 
To every star you see in the heavens, 
Was made according to the wisdom 
Of The Father, brought forth and established 
Through The Son, by whom all things consist...

For I AM, and have always been, 
The Way and The Life, The Salvation of God, 
The Only Truth from which all understanding flows...

YAHUSHUA-YAHUWAH. 

==Faithful==
 
One who truly loves Me speaks about Me, 
And remains faithful at all times and in every season; 
And one who places Me above all else has shown their 
Loved ones who is first, and what faithfulness truly is...

For there is no true love apart from Me; 
Nor can one remain faithful unless 
They have received of Me...

Therefore to speak of Me in the 
Company of others is to love them...

And to deny Me in the company of others 
Is to hate them, whereby you have also 
Revealed that your comfort is of more 
Importance than The Truth, and keeping 
The peace more important than their lives...

Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==Patience and Faith‎‎==
 
What is the knowledge of man? Is it not a stone of stumbling? And the pride of man, a rock of offense? How then shall the blind see or the deaf hear, unless I heal them? Or how shall one grab hold of the line, unless it is first placed within their reach? 
 

Yet My servants are wise...

They fear The Lord, and wait upon Me 
With all patience and faith, doubting nothing, 
Humble servants who study My Word, knowing 
I am The Author and The Finisher thereof...

When they wake and when they lie down, I am there... 

I am their life, and they are My joy...

Says The Lord. 

==Impasse‎‎==
 
When My servants come to an impasse in My Word, according to their own understanding, what is their reaction? They continue on, without hindrance or doubt. 
For their relationship with The Author is intimate, their trust without reservation. Thus they remain at peace, and wait upon The Lord for the light of understanding, knowing in their heart every word is true, ready to receive the spirit of the Word, stumbling not over its letter. 
And until My people are established firmly upon this premise, they will remain daunted, striving to see but never fully understanding, straining to hear but remaining dull of hearing. 
 

Thus for My wise and faithful servants, 
All barriers are removed...

For their peace is in the knowing, 
I AM WHO I AM, though they yet 
Stand at the beginning, unable to see the end...

An heir of all I will reveal to them 
When the fullness of time has come in...

Says The Lord. 

==Be Joined Unto Me==
 
I have called My people out, that they might 
Come out from among them and be separate...

A people set apart for My name, 
A people who keep The Commandments 
And cease not from testifying to My glory, 
A people of pure and undefiled faith...

A people joined unto ME... 

Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==The Watchmen==
 
Consider the squirrel and its ways...

Does it not live among the trees, 
Running up and down with ease, 
Leaping from branch to branch with skill and grace, 
Perfectly designed for its abode and purpose?...

So shall My watchmen be in the Day of The Lord...

Prepared, according to their task; 
Established, according to the Word of My mouth; 
Filled, according to their service; 
Remade, according to My purpose...

I AM THE LORD. 

==A Wise and Faithful Servant==
 
Who is a wise and faithful servant?...

Is he not one who receives the blessings 
Of his Father without constraint, one who 
Embraces My speech, whether soft or hard, 
Even of that which I have spoken to another?...

A servant such as this is wise indeed...

For he knows that every good gift 
And every perfect gift is from above, 
And comes down from The Father of Lights, 
With whom there is no variation or 
Shadow of turning, as it is written[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=James%201%3A17&version=NKJV]...

Says The Lord. 

==Mindfulness==
 
What is a son who is mindful of his father’s ways, who pays close attention to his every word? Or a servant, who seeks only to serve his master? Or a faithful bride, who seeks always to please her husband in all her ways, whether he is near or far, in her presence or soon returning? 
 

Beloved ones, be mindful of 
These things and grow in wisdom, 
Abide in trust and do not waver; 
Be at peace...

For I am indeed coming quickly, 
And My reward is with Me...

Says The Lord. 

==Fixed Upon The Goal==
 
Those who I have called out of a place 
Shall in no wise return to it, 
Nor shall they look back...

They shall continue on toward safety, 
With their eyes fixed upon The Goal, 
Walking always in line with the Spirit...

Praying without ceasing, 
Giving heed to My leading, 
Listening for My voice...

Says The Lord. 

==Renewed==
 
Only those who seek that which is first, 
Who fill themselves up with that which 
Is most needful, will finish the day 
With strength enough to face tomorrow...

Therefore seek Me out at every opportunity, 
Whether for a moment or for the hour, 
That you may be renewed in My presence...

Looking always to The Blessed Hope, 
Having tasted of it while in waiting...

Says The Lord. 

==History Has an End==
 
I AM COME[https://www.thevolumesoftruth.com/I_AM_COME]...

The One who was has come; 
The One who is, is come; 
The One who is to come is coming 
Quickly to fulfill and complete...

HISTORY HAS AN END!...

And His name is The Great I AM, 
The Holy One of Israel!...

YAHUSHUA-YAHUWAH!... 

Immanu El! 

==I Am Enough==
 
Beloved ones, you worry, yet I AM HE; 
You weep, yet I AM HE; 
You stumble, yet I AM HE; 
Your hearts tear and break over 
All these sorrows, yet I AM HE...

You struggle and are in turmoil, 
You feel lost, yet I AM HE; 
You grasp at the wind and have 
No understanding, yet I AM HE...

You are persecuted by those 
You love, yet I AM HE; 
The world hates you, yet I AM HE; 
Everything you have is passing away, yet I AM HE; 
Death comes to take you into darkness, yet I AM HE!...

Do you not understand?! I AM ENOUGH! 
The One who sees, The One who knows! 
No matter the time or the season, 
In every moment of your life, I AM HE!...

Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==Choose==
 
Beloved, it is time to choose, 
To make your decision...

It is time to bring your 
Heart forward, and be healed, 
To make your repentance full[https://answersonlygodcangive.com/Regarding_True_Repentance]...

It is time to fall into Me unreservedly; 
Or to depart, and walk through dry places...

Says The Lord. 

==Gifts of the Spirit‎‎==
 
I call My servants out from among them, 
I appoint every office, and I Myself 
Number their steps before them...

For My gifts are given through the Spirit, 
And must also be received in Me...

They are in no wise open to claim, 
Nor shall anyone on earth assign them...

For only those in union with 
The Messiah are able to walk in them...

Says The Lord. 

==In Due Season==
 
I have a great vineyard, with many grapes. I have provided both the early and latter rain and tended every vine, pruning them with sure hands and delicate fingers. Yet many wither, while others fail to produce, and still others are slow to ripen. 
I have waited patiently and tended My vineyard, doing all that was necessary to produce a fair crop, and now it is time for harvest. Yet I tell you plainly, it shall be a very lowly crop, a very small harvest, for few have ripened to maturity. Thus they must be left to ripen in their season. 
 

And though the winds shall be harsh 
And the rains rare, behold, even all 
Manner of plagues shall come, 
I must not gather them 
Until their due season...

Says The Lord. 

==Lukewarm==
 
One who treads the path, going up 
And down, stepping on and off at 
Their convenience, treads not the path, 
But is like one who treads water...

By no means shall they be able 
To keep their head above water, 
Nor shall their strength deliver 
Them in the Day of Troubles...

Says The Lord. 

==Revived==
 
Behold, the day and hour is close at hand, 
Yea it is very near, when the dead in Messiah 
Shall arise and the sleepers shall awake, 
When the rotting corpses are revived 
And the dust gathers together once again...

From one end of the earth to the other, 
Even from the deepest depths, shall My 
People rise up and give Me glory...

Therefore let the children of Israel prepare, 
Let everyone joined to Messiah step forward 
And claim their inheritance...

For I have but to call out your name... 

Says The Holy One of Israel. 

==The Gathering Up==
 
Behold, the Glory of God breaks through 
The clouds, a mighty trumpet blast 
Sounds in all the earth!...

From the heights of the mountains 
To the deepest depths, life bursts forth 
In the bodies of the dead!...

Behold, a loud voice is heard from Heaven: 
“EARTH, GIVE UP YOUR DEAD! 
BRIDE OF THE BLESSED, 
COME UP HERE!”...

Says The Lord. 

==In the Arms of The King==
There is a place...

A place beyond space and time, where eternity dwells and life has no end, where light takes its form and goodness is revealed, where the eyes of the redeemed may look upon the Glory of God and see His face, where Heaven meets the earth and The Eternal dwells with men... 
A place where Everlasting Love can be embraced and healing flows like a gentle stream, a place where time has no meaning and the stars flee away, where the brightness is excellent and the warmth thereof very soothing... 
A place where joy comes by knowledge with pure understanding, where fulfillment comes by a strong embrace, and love’s completion is met with great satisfaction through many tears flowing down the cheeks of the forever young; a place where understanding bursts forth in realization, revelation beyond words!... 
 

A place where the hearts of the chosen are revealed, 
Behold, they are uncovered, revealing their true form; 
The image in which I created them, restored...

A simple quiet place, set apart... 

In the arms of The King. 

==The Creator==
 
When I consider, all creation is before Me; 
From the most minute detail to the greatest, 
Nothing is hidden from My eyes...

Behold, the whole universe abides 
Within My understanding...

For I am LORD and GOD, 
Creator of Heaven and Earth. 

==The True Bride==
 
The Bride is chosen...

My blood runs through her veins, 
My image is shown upon her face...

Behold, the light of My coming is reflected 
In her eyes, for I have captured her gaze, 
And she will by no means look away 
Or seek after another...

Says The Lord. 

==Heed My Words==
 
Beloved ones, wait upon Me, with all trust and fear; stand steadfast and be patient. Accept My words, as I have spoken them and as they are written. Do not add to My words, nor take from them; neither form for yourselves any private interpretation. Only give heed to My words and also do them, and prepare. 
 

For My words are indeed that light which 
Shines in a dark place, a lamp and a beacon, 
Preparing My way before Me...

Until the new day dawns and 
The Morning Star rises, filling the hearts 
Of My chosen as they enter in...

Says The Lord. 

==Followers of The Way==
 
When those who call of 
Themselves Christian, ask you, 
“To which church do you belong?”...

You shall answer them: 
“I belong to no church named of men. 
I belong to The Lord, YahuShua HaMashiach, 
Whom you call Jesus and Christ. 
And together with all those who 
Remain in His love[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+15%3A10&version=AMP] and obey His voice[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+3%3A36&version=GNT] 
Is The Church in which I dwell”...

Says The Lord. 

==True Baptism==
 
Let My beloved first be baptized 
In spirit and in truth, filled 
With the knowledge of The Holy, 
Nourished by the Word of Truth...

Let them come to Me in sincere 
Repentance, and receive forgiveness 
Of sins in The Messiah’s name...

All burdens lifted, immersed 
And purified in the Spirit of God...

For The Holy One of Israel is 
He who baptizes with the Holy Spirit 
And with fire, and He knows His own...

Says The Lord. 

==The Beginning of Wisdom==
 
Come together and reason, O sons of men. Look upon the works of My hands, and see with new eyes and restored vision, that you may behold the Truth. 
For all the works of man are here for but a moment, then quickly pass away. And that which remains, shall it not become fuel for the fire in the Day of The Lord’s Anger? And the knowledge of man, is it not foolishness in My eyes, coming to nothing before the light of My Glory? 
 

Therefore fear The Lord your God, 
And accept the truth of who I am...

For the fear of The Lord is the beginning 
Of wisdom, and the knowledge 
Of The Holy One is understanding[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Proverbs%209%3A10&version=NKJV]...

For I am God alone. 

==Remember the Sabbath==
 
Those who remember the Sabbath honor Me, and those who rest on the Sabbath rest in Me, as they look to the Day. For I had set the seventh day apart, and sanctified it, from the beginning.[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis+2%3A3&version=NKJV] Thus it has been a sign between Me and My people, even to this day, and so shall it remain forever. 
For as I spoke to the children of Israel, saying, “Surely My Sabbaths you shall keep, for it is a sign between Me and you throughout your generations, that you may know that I am The Lord who sanctifies you,”[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Exodus+31%3A13&version=NKJV] so also do I speak to you, even to all who are grafted in. 
 

For those who obey My Commandments 
Remain in My love[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+15%3A10&version=AMP], and those who remember 
My Sabbaths keep My company, 
For The Holy One of Israel 
Dwells in the midst of them...

For I long for My children to be with Me 
Where I am, I am eager to return them 
To the Garden, that we may once again 
Walk together in the cool of the day. 
 

Therefore remember the Sabbath, and I shall remember you. Bless the Sabbath, and I shall bless you. Love one another, as I have loved you. 
Put away your works, look not to the cares of this world, and let go of your worries on the Sabbath day; spare yourselves the weight of all these troubles for just one day. 
 

Let all your thoughts dwell upon 
Your God and Savior, and consider; 
Yea, let your mind be filled with wonder 
And awe over the works of My hands...

For even The Lord your God, 
Creator of Heaven and Earth, 
Rested on the seventh day[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis+2%3A3&version=NKJV]...

Says The Lord. 

==Prepare and Watch==
 
I am indeed coming down to shake the heavens and the earth, to move all from its place; to bring forth that which was hidden and to reveal that which was misplaced[https://www.thevolumesoftruth.com/Follow_Me#:~:text=And%20of%20My%20gifts%2C%20what%20have%20you%20done%20with%20them%3F%20My%20lost%20sheep%2C%20where%20have%20you%20laid%20them%3F%20They%20lie%20next%20to%20your%20faith%2C%20which%20has%20also%20been%20misplaced.]; to open that which was shut and to shut that which was opened. 
Therefore prepare, My people, for the time has come; yes, today is the day of salvation! Go forth, beloved ones, and set all these crooked paths straight; regain the line, prepare and watch. For the leaves of the fig tree are upon its branches; summer is near![https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+24%3A32-34&version=NKJV] 
 

Again I say, watch!...

For The One who ascended 
Is about to descend...

And lo, I am come, in the Volume 
Of the Book it is written of Me, 
To accomplish The Father’s will[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm+40%3A7-8%3B+Hebrews+10%3A7&version=KJV]...

Says The Lord. 

==The First Harvest==
 
It is written, all shall lie down in death[https://www.thevolumesoftruth.com/The_Judgment_of_God_Is_True_and_Without_Question,_Yet_the_Error_of_the_People_Is_Great#:~:text=Thus%20says%20The%20Lord%3A%20The%20penalty%20of%20sin%20is%20death.%20Thus%20all%20who%20have%20sinned%20shall%20surely%20die%2C%20all%20shall%20lie%20down%20in%20death.][https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ecclesiastes+9%3A2-3&version=NIRV]... 
 
Yet there is a people who shall not sleep, 
Nor shall they lie down in death - A people who shall be awake at My coming, 
A people who have received of the divine gift, 
A people who know Me and in whom I am known, 
For I see of Myself within them.

They shall be lifted up, not preceding 
Those who have fallen asleep in Messiah; 
This is the first harvest and resurrection.

For there is but One Way, One Truth, and One Life; 
From the beginning, there is but One...

I AM HE...

Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==To All Those Who Call of Themselves Christian==
 
Listen closely 
And take My words to heart, 
All you who call of yourselves Christian: 
I ask you, do you really love Me?...

Then follow Me...

Beloved ones, listen closely 
And take My words to heart, 
All you who call of yourselves Christian: 
Do you really love Me?...

Then obey My Word! Follow Me!...

Beloved, listen closely 
And take My words to heart, 
All you who call of yourselves Christian: 
Do you really love Me?!...

Then heed My voice and come out! 
FOLLOW ME!...

Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==Bear Fruit==
 
Beloved, bear fruit after the kind I have given you, in open and in secret. For what profit is there in sharing with another that which they believe they already have? And how shall one who pushes out the hand receive a gift? 
 

Therefore, turn aside from those who 
Push out the hand and wag the head...

Rather seek out the poor, that I may feed them...

Fill the bowls of the hungry, and place 
The cup in the hands of the thirsty; 
Give them your portion...

For My bounty is plentiful, 
Given freely to all who hunger 
And thirst for righteousness...

Says The Lord. 

==The Spirit of God==
 
Beloved ones, pray to your Father in Heaven, in The Son’s name, and through the Spirit we shall be one. For all My servants move, speak and hear Me through My spirit, and only through The Son shall My children come to know Me as I truly am... And oh how blessed are those who know Him, for they love Him and obey His voice, having truly received of Him, even of His spirit, the Spirit of God. 
 

Indeed holy, holy, holy 
Is The Lord God Almighty...

One God, invisible and visible, 
The Father and The Son; 
And the Spirit called Holy, 
Because I am holy...

Says The Lord. 

==It Is Time‎‎==
 
Behold, the time has come for My name to resound in all the earth, for all who dwell upon the earth to be humbled, to be broken without hand. Indeed, now is the time for all who have ears to hear, to hear and give heed; and for those who refuse, to forbear and rebel against Me. 
 

It is time for My servants to stand up, 
To receive My words and also do them; 
It is time to blow the trumpet, to sound the alarm...

It is time for My spirit to be poured out, 
For the hand of The Almighty to stir up 
The multitudes, for The Word of God 
To separate and divide the people...

It is time for My watchmen to proclaim 
The acceptable year of The Lord and the 
Day of Vengeance of The Lord their God...

For the ears of the first election are open, 
And within My prophets I have placed 
My voice, once again; I have surely 
Put My words in their mouths...

For I am The Lord, and I do not change. 

==The Spirit of the Word==
 
Do not judge according to human standards, nor by that which is put forth by men as doctrine, for they are greatly misled. Rather study to show yourself approved unto God, a workman that need not be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of Truth.[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2%20Timothy%202%3A15&version=KJV] For discernment with fear is righteousness. 
 

Therefore, beloved, remember: 
The spirit of the Word, and not the letter, 
Is the way, the truth and the life...

For The Messiah is indeed coming quickly, 
To baptize all in fire and glory...

Those of a wicked heart, in fire...

And those of the Spirit, 
In glory, forever and ever!...

Says The Lord. 

==Inheritance‎‎==
 
Behold, My people are afflicted, 
And My faithful ones are persecuted, 
Imprisoned and put to death! 
My little ones are brought to harm, 
And the innocent are murdered in droves, 
CAST OFF AS REFUSE!...

Therefore the afflicted shall be 
Given wealth beyond imagining, 
And the meek shall inherit the earth; 
The little ones shall be taken, 
And the innocent shall return home...

And they shall be My sons and daughters, 
Forever, life without end...

Says The Lord. 

==Restoration==
 
I AM THE RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE!...

And all who believe in Me shall not die, but live, 
For I shall raise them up at the Last Day!...

No more tears, no more death, no more pain, 
For the old order of things has passed away; 
All things restored in glory, the glory of everlasting life!...

I AM RISEN! YOUR REDEEMER LIVES!... 

Says The Holy One of Israel. 

==Call Upon The Name==
 
The wicked shall surely fall by the word of their own mouth, and by their works shall they stumble into the pit; behold, by their every word and deed have they condemned themselves to death. 
 

Yet if these same ones turn from their 
Iniquity, and call upon Me in the name 
Of The Messiah, they shall live and not die; 
They shall surely be delivered!...

For they have called upon The Name, 
The only name under Heaven 
By which you must be saved...

For He is called Jesus and Christ...

His name: YAHUSHUA HAMASHIACH, 
Both Lord and Savior of men...

Says YAHUWAH. 

==All Shall Be Fulfilled==
 
As I have commanded it, so shall it be done. As I have spoken it, so shall it come to pass. As I have purposed it, so shall it be accomplished. For My glory, all shall be fulfilled. 
Thus that which I have spoken by My prophets shall surely be. And though they stumble, they shall by no means fall, for they do continually humble themselves before Me. 
 

Therefore, blessed is the man who comes 
To Me ashamed of his trespasses, whose heart 
Is full of grief on account of his sins, 
For I am faithful to forgive his sins...

Indeed I shall lift him up, 
And set his feet upon hallowed ground...

Says The Lord. 

==Daily Bread==
 
Understand the Word of My mouth and that which is set before you, even upon each of your plates: I have bore you, even twice have you come forth - First by water and blood in the flesh, and a second time in the Spirit, yea even a third time when you shall come into glory. 
And behold, that which is first sown in your hearts is The Living Word. And that which grows from Me bears fruit, according to the food and drink I provide, the written Word. Therefore both are necessary, yet one must be first. 
 

Yet understand this: 
One who is awakened can not remain so, 
Unless they receive of Me and also 
Eat of that which I provide...

Therefore abide in Me, 
And partake daily of My supper...

Says The Lord. 

==True Knowledge==
 
Who among you has committed no murder, whether in heart or in action? Who among you has committed no adultery, whether in heart or in action? Who among you, O peoples of the earth, has committed no sin?! 
Behold, all have fallen short of the Glory of God, all have failed utterly in their attempts to gain righteousness; even the works of the most righteous among you are but filthy rags before Me. And for this reason did I come into the world, manifest in the flesh, to bear the full weight of the sin of this world - Immanu El. 
 

Therefore get wisdom, get understanding, 
And seek My face in sincerity and in truth...

Humble yourselves, 
That you may receive true knowledge, 
That you may come to know Me as I truly am...

Says The Lord. 

==One Fold==
 
Where does a shepherd spend his time, and which of his sheep require the most attention? Therefore pray in like manner. For indeed the ill of the flock require the most attention, and the one in ninety-nine who has gone astray shall by no means be forsaken. 
And though there are many who stand inside locked gates, while you stand outside, do you not remain all of one fold? And when I have freed them, will you not all rejoice together? Therefore treat them as such, and pray for them, even double, and it shall be well with you. For those who arrive last shall be embraced by those who had arrived first. 
 

Therefore let your heart remember, 
As you look to the day...

Says The Lord. 

==Mercy==
 
Hear and understand the loving mercies of God fulfilled in Me, even of those bitter tears which I have shed over all these who deny Me, over all these who betray Me by all they say and do: Beloved, in My anger I have indeed cast them out, appointing others to run in their stead. Yet I tell you the truth, though they now abide as one sitting along the wayside, they are in no wise broken off. For our bond is love, and any bond forged in My love can never be broken. 
 

Behold, even amongst My flock 
Have I received many kisses 
After the kind of My son, Judas...

Yet I tell you the truth, I have 
Never lost one who is Mine; 
I am in love with My own...

And though their thoughts betray 
Them, having given heed to many lies 
And deceptions from within and without, 
I know My own, and I will never turn 
Away anyone who returns to Me...

Says The Lord. 

==Peace==
 
My sons and daughters, from the beginning, I AM WHO I AM and shall be. Even to the end, I AM HE. From everlasting to everlasting, I AM. In this shall you find rest and know peace, says The Lord. 
Therefore no longer bind yourselves to what you see, nor concern yourselves with the things of this world and its evil ways. Free yourselves by the knowledge I have given you, by the understanding that I AM WHO I AM, freedom in the knowing I AM HE. 
 

Beloved ones, I have defeated the world, 
I have overcome your sins; 
Death is put to death because of Me...

Behold, I am risen, death is turned backward...

Only life is and shall be...

Says The Lord. 

==Refuge==
 
Beloved, there is but One Refuge, 
Only One Way to be found...

In Mashiach ONLY shall you find 
Refuge from all these troubles; 
Through Him ONLY have I opened The Way...

Therefore, My people, call upon the name 
Of The Lord in your darkest hour!...

For it is time for the name of mercy 
And pure righteousness to be glorified! 
It is time for God’s Salvation to be revealed 
To the first election, for the supplications 
Of His people to be fulfilled to the fullest!...

LET THEM BE DELIVERED!...

Says The Lord. 

==The Power of My Love==
 
How long shall the multitudes swear by things made, and place their trust in the works of man?! For the desolate know not the things of God, nor is darkness able to understand; yea, the wicked gnash upon their teeth, the whole body convulses in the wake of mourning, for there is no rest. 
 

Yet My hand caresses the cheeks of the hopeless, 
As we watch the dawning of the day together...

For the strength of My arm uplifts the downtrodden, 
My strong embrace heals the sorrowful, 
Every beat of My heart revives the dead, 
And the sound of My voice frees every captive...

Behold, the power of My love hides them away!... 

Says The Lord. 

==The Will of God==
 
Nothing, nothing in all creation, 
Can usurp the will of The Most High God! 
Nor shall any run out ahead of Me...

MY will shall be done on earth as it is in Heaven...

For it is purposed and can not be moved, 
Having been written in everlasting stone 
From the very foundation of the world...

I AM THE LORD. 

==Made For The Son==
 
You are and were created in fragile flesh, 
Beautifully crafted by the hand of your Father, 
Having been made alive in The Son...

In His image you are and were created, 
In love I created you, placing you 
In the garden to My own joy...

My own beloved who have received of My breath... 

Created by The Father, made for The Son... 

Says The Lord. 

==Across All Boundaries==
 
That atoned for by My blood 
Is far-reaching, even across all boundaries, 
Life and death, time and space...

For even those before Me were after Me, 
And knew The Father, who knowing Him 
Knew and saw the time of My coming, 
Having repented before The Father 
In His name, which is also My name, 
The name We shared before the world was made...

Thus by the heart is one judged, 
Of which I know, for nothing is hidden before Me; 
I made you and know you, having always known you; 
Even those who will yet come to Me, I see and know...

For I see you as you are and will be, 
With Me where I am...

Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==The Way Is Provided==
 
Come now and share in My joy, 
Abide in My love, enter into My rest...

For The Way is provided, The Lamb sacrificed, 
My own beating heart stilled in death, 
My own blood poured out 
So you may return to Me...

The curtain is torn; the way is open! 
Approach and draw near to Me; hear Me calling!...

For The Ladder of Heaven is joined to earth, 
Glorified and named above all names!...

Says The Lord. 

==The Tame of My Flock==
 
All who truly receive of Me know Me, and I live in them. And if I live in them, then in no wise will these turn away. For one who abides in My love shall never leave it. 
For they have tasted of the divine gift and have looked upon My glory. They will not depart from Me, but rest securely at My right hand. These are My sheep, the tame of My flock. They call out and I do hear them, even as I had called to them and they did hear. 
 

All My sheep hear My voice 
And know the sound of My voice, 
And seek to follow Me wheresoever I lead them...

Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==For My Own Name’s Sake==
 
Behold, My own people go the way 
Of the ungodly, following after those void 
Of the Spirit, married to this world!...

Yet I shall save them out of all their troubles; 
For My own name’s sake will I do it...

For the sake of Judah, I shall cover them; 
For the sake of Jacob, I shall hold them in safety; 
And for the sake of David, My servant, I shall 
Shelter them under the shadow of My wings...

Says The Lord. 

==Keeping The Law==
 
Say no more, “Grace versus The Law.” 
Say rather, “Grace AND The Law”...

For Grace is the fulfillment of The Law; 
And where there is an absence of grace, 
There is lawlessness...

Therefore, keeping The Law 
Is a reflection of My own spirit in you...

And oh how blessed are those who have 
Received of Grace, and seek to please The Father 
By obeying His Law, and teach men so...

Grace AND The Law... 

Says The Lord. 

==Nothing Is Hidden Before Me==
 
Nothing exists outside of Me, says The Lord; neither does anything continue outside My will. For even the evil of this present world is set within the confines of My will. For evil acts and brings forth of its own, yet is unaware that nothing is hidden before Me; neither has anything come to pass, nor will be, that I have not already beheld. And this, O arrogant and deceived generation, is why I said, “All was written and completed, even before the foundation of the world.” 
 

For I am God, THE GOD!
 The God of Abraham, The God of Isaac, The God of Jacob, The God of all!...

Even of all that is known and unknown, 
The Creator of all things...

The Everlasting, who is from 
Everlasting to everlasting...

I AM. 

==Not By Human Means==
 
What I have prepared can not be seen 
With the eyes, nor can it be attained 
By human means or mere proclamation...

Yet within the hearts of My own 
It is clearly seen, and upon the lips 
Of My bride the testimony is clearly heard...

For that which has entered into the hearts 
Of the chosen shall soon be realized, 
And that which has entered into the hearts 
Of the wicked shall return upon their own heads...

For hate brings forth suffering and violence...

Yet the love of The Messiah brings salvation, 
Escape under the shadow of His healing wings!...

Says The Lord. 

==According to the Number==
 
I am The Lord...

And though I bruise, I will surely heal; 
And though I pour out strong judgment, 
I will also show mercy...

For all appointed to captivity shall go into captivity, 
Yet I will deliver them, even all who call on the 
Name of The Lord in that day...

And though many will be brought low, 
Even down to the depths of darkness and despair, 
Behold, from the depths I shall raise 
Them up, even high above the heavens; 
Even from the ashes shall I bring them forth, 
And they shall give Me perfect praise in the 
Tabernacle of My glory!...

And so it is fulfilled, and shall also come to pass: 
The first shall be last, and the last 
Shall be first partakers of the glory; 
Yet all will be saved according 
To the number The Lord shall call...

Says The Lord. 

==The Bride==
 
The true bride is chosen; 
She has been called out and shall be lifted up!...

Behold, I will come for her and she will be taken, 
Caught up to My Father’s house for one week 
In The Lord, and we shall be together forever...

All tears wiped away...

Even every tear she shed on the behalf of others; 
Every tear she shed for the afflicted and the unborn; 
Every tear she shed over all this evil, 
On account of all this oppression and death...

Even every tear she shed in repentance, 
In seeking after her Bridegroom...

Says The Lord. 

==Reverence==
Peoples of the earth, do you know Me? Do you really know who I am? I am Elohim. YAHUSHUA-YAHUWAH is My name, both God and Savior. For in The Son does the fullness of The Father dwell...

Yet I ask you, who among the nations fears Me? Who among this modern generation, among all these multitudes of perverse and vile people, revere My name? Who, among this great multitude, trembles in fear at the coming of The Lord?! And who among the mighty shall be able to stand, when the wrath of God is revealed from Heaven?! 
 

Therefore repent, and establish My way before Me, 
Says The Lord God, and I shall also establish you...

For I am The Lord, and I shall 
Establish justice in all the earth. 

==Indwelt==
 
Who has given heed to the voice 
Of The Lord their God? 
Who has come out to meet Me?...

Behold, the lowly have come out, 
The poor in spirit have come forth, 
The broken have sought Me and 
The faithful uphold My cause...

Yes, these who carry The Messiah 
Within them have come forward to 
Partake of My supper, and do follow 
The Lamb wheresoever He leads them...

And behold, the day is near when He shall 
Call out to His beloved, and all those who 
Have ears to hear will be lifted up; 
They shall surely be gone from this place!...

Says The Lord. 

==Blessed Be The Name==
 
Behold, My name alone stands throughout 
The generations, a perpetual covering for My people, 
A secure place of shelter for all those who seek My face, 
A tower of strength for all who take refuge in Me... 
 
From everlasting, I AM, and to everlasting shall I be, 
The same and unchanging, even as My name...

For I AM WHO I AM...

YAHUWAH, The One who causes to be; 
YAHUSHUA, He by whom all things 
Consist and have life...

Thus My name is one, even as 
The Father and The Son are one, 
A just God and a Savior - ONE...

Says The Lord. 

==The Holy Days‎‎==
 
The significance of The Holy Days is found 
In their meaning and revealed by their order...

Even as all find their fulfillment in The Messiah 
And their completion in the coming of The Lord...

Says The Lord. 

==Set Apart==
 
Beloved, stand apart from 
This world in word and by deed; 
Take your every thought captive 
That you may be fully set apart...

Reveal your love for Me by all you say 
And do; put your love on open display!...

Rest in Me on the Sabbath Day 
And receive My blessing; 
Honor My Holy Days and remember, 
That you may also understand; 
Hold fast to The Holy Covenant, 
And no longer depart from 
The Word of My Commandment...

Says The Lord. 

==Beloved, Awake==
 
Beloved, awake! Awake from your slumber! 
Awaken your hearts to The Majesty on High! 
Embrace the full revelation of 
WHO I AM, of all I have done!...

For the Word of The Lord 
Flows like water, My love runs pure...

Therefore embrace My words and receive 
Of My love, that you may be filled with My spirit, 
To the bearing of much fruit in The Beloved...

Says The Lord. 

==Penitent==
 
It is the penitent man who shall know God, 
And penitent you must be; die to yourselves daily...

Cast off the skin of this world and walk with 
Me as I am, and not as you would have Me be...

Beloved, cast off your sins, depart quickly from 
Temptation, and to the accuser turn a deaf ear; 
For I tell you the truth, evil has lost 
Its grip on the redeemed...

Therefore hear My words, and also do them; 
Give heed to My speech, and embrace 
All I have given you...

Drink deeply from this cup, 
And be created anew... 

Says The Lord your Redeemer. 

==The God of Justice==
 
I am The Lord...

I know what is most needful, 
I alone do what is right...

And though I afflict, I will also heal; 
And though I strike the people in My wrath, 
I will also bind up their wounds...

Behold, I shall bring the kingdoms 
Of men to utter ruin, and make 
The face of the earth a desolation; 
For I AM HE who shall create new heavens 
And a new earth, in which justice shall 
Run down like water and righteousness 
Like an ever-flowing stream...

For as I have spoken, so I speak; 
As I am, so shall I be...

Says The King of Power and Glory, 
The Only Lord of Hosts, The Holy One of Israel. 

==Spare the Rod==
 
You have heard it said, to spare the rod is to hate your child. This Scripture is true. Yet I tell you the truth, the rod is discipline, and not that of physical punishment. 
O vain and ignorant people, stop perverting the Scriptures of Truth! Humble yourselves, that you may gain wisdom. A child’s disobedience is brought forth from a troubled heart and an unsettled spirit, wrought in ignorance. How then shall a beating correct the heart, or striking them with a rod bring about a right spirit? 
 

Beloved, do not exasperate your children 
By bringing them into subjection by abuse...

Rather take them by the hand, and lead 
Them in the ways of The Lord, with love...

For the love of a father is displayed in 
Tenderness and kindness, and is also 
Revealed through the correction and 
Discipline of those he loves...

Says The Lord. 

==The Seed and The Sower==
 
Beloved, you must ask yourselves, “Where have all these seeds been sown? Have they taken root? Or are they choked by the multitude of weeds which have sprung up?” Beware, for the birds gather, and wait eagerly to devour all seeds which have fallen by the wayside. 
 

Thus only that which is first shall bear fruit; 
For that which is foremost bears fruit 
According to the Seed and 
The One who has sown it...

Yet that which is put first by men, which is 
Not of the Seed nor of The Sower, must die; 
It must be uprooted and cast into the fire...

Says The Lord. 

==True Forgiveness‎‎==
 
Begin again in Me, says The Lord, for I have not left you. Behold, I am with you, even to the end of this age.

Beloved, you are forgiven. And in true forgiveness, there is no remembrance of past offenses; behold, even your sins of tomorrow are washed away. Therefore fix your gaze upon Me, focus not on your sin; give temptation no power, and to the accuser turn a deaf ear. 
 

Indeed, come all who struggle and are 
Heavy-laden, and I will give you rest...

Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, 
For I am gentle and lowly in heart, 
And in Me you will find rest for your souls...

For My yoke is easy, and My burden light,[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+11%3A28-30&version=NKJV] 
For all those who trust in Me...

Says The Lord. 

==The Fear of The Lord==
 
It is written: The fear of The Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of The Holy One is understanding.[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Proverbs%209%3A10&version=NKJV] 
Therefore all else is vanity, a false way, leading to great vexation of spirit. For I AM THE LORD. From the beginning it was I who had done it; even to the end shall I perform it; and behold, all is fulfilled according to My will. 
 

Therefore to fear The Lord your God 
Is indeed the beginning of wisdom...

For how can one know Me, 
Unless they first acknowledge Me? 
And how can one fear Me, unless they 
Believe, I AM WHO I AM?...

He who causes to be, 
He who called all things into existence, 
The Creator of Heaven and Earth...

Says The Lord. 

==The Living Bread==
 
Have I not provided a bounty? Have I not poured out and sent forth the call? Therefore let those who have come out abide in Me until the time, and eat also of this bread. For I shall be with them, yes, even I Myself shall be with them, close at hand, and they shall fellowship with Me in the secret place. They have all they need. 
Yet let those who reject Me and My Word, even this blessing which I have given to this generation, walk through dry places. For I have left them desolate. And so they must walk, they must tread the path they have chosen, until the time be changed, until they are broken without hand. I AM THE LORD. 
 

Therefore, again I say, 
To all those who have ears to hear: 
Seek not the table, but He who sits at it...

Says The Lord. 

==Walk In Me==
 
There are none like Me, beloved, nor has there ever been one whose love surpasses understanding, a love without end. For I had paid the ransom from the beginning, a dowry the likes of which has never been seen, a bride-price from The God of Heaven. 
Beloved, I stretched out My hands for you; I bore the weight of your sins, I carried your burdens! Therefore is My grace sufficient for you. Yet you must choose to stand up and walk in Me, relying on My strength in your times of weakness, by which My strength and your trust is made perfect. 
Have I not said, “In obedience is your love made perfect,” and, “Who you choose, not what you choose, is the answer”? And when you have chosen Me, is it not also your reasonable service to walk in Me? 
 

Therefore, again I say, choose...

For I am The Only Way, 
The Only Truth, The Only Life...

Says The Lord. 

==Service and Sacrifice==
 
I tell you the truth, ALL who forsake the poor and the needy, and the fatherless and the widow, do not know Me, and have no place with Me at My supper, until they become as those they have forsaken. For by no other means will they learn true compassion.

 

Beloved, to drink My blood is 
To receive of Me...

To give up everything is to walk in Me...

To suffer is to know Me...

And to die for another is to know 
The depths of My love. 
 

Yet I do not ask you to die for another, only that you push through - that you shatter all this stained glass with which you surround yourselves; that you be broken in pieces and truly become My disciples; that you love one another, even all those I send to you; that you surrender your lives and be created anew, trusting in Me to supply all that is needful... Trust which comes by service and sacrifice, says The Lord. 

==According to My Will and Purpose==
 
Beloved ones, all My sheep hear My voice. Yet each receives in proportion to their faith and in accordance with My will and purpose. For a willing, humble heart is open to Me, and one who is deeply in love with Me will hear My voice. Yet this is not equal, nor shall every servant hear My voice in the same way. 
For a prophet hears My voice, while another is moved deep within, while still others may only discern My leading, and this also is according to My will and purpose. 
 

And that which I do has a perfect work 
Within the hearts of My beloved, coming to 
Fruition in those who remain in My love...

Those meet for The Master’s use... 

Says The Lord. 

==In Open and In Secret==
 
Beloved, speak not one word concerning those who have hurt you, not one more word against those who have betrayed you. Forgive them, pray for them, and let them go their way. Beloved, love your enemies and pray for those who betray you, and double for those who fight against you, for they have lifted up their heel against Me. Let resentment pass from your heart, and no more let your tongue cause you to stumble on their account. For each is accountable for their own heart and that which flows from it, even to every idle word. 
 

Beloved, be My examples...

Order your speech like David, 
And conduct yourselves as Daniel...

Let your speech express your love for Me 
In every situation, and let your conduct reveal 
My spirit in you, in open and in secret...

Beloved, prepare as though I were 
Coming to take you this very day; 
Walk with Me as though we walk 
Together in the Garden already...

Says The Lord. 

==Doers of the Word==
 
In repentance I am always well pleased...

Therefore let the penitent now turn fully to God, 
And do works meet for repentance...

Let them no more be as the hypocrite, 
But let them walk close behind Me, 
Abiding in the shadow of The Almighty...

And what more shall I speak than 
That which I have spoken already?...

Therefore believe My words, and also do them... 

Says The Lord. 

==A True Disciple==
 
The power of My strength shall be 
Fulfilled in My servant’s weakness, 
In accordance with their love and faithfulness, 
And by their willingness to lay down their life, 
That they might receive of My life...

A man in desperate thirst who refuses every cup 
From men, yet gladly drinks from Mine...

A man whose hunger has brought forth 
Within him a great void, which can not 
Be filled by any earthly bread...

A man who strives to live by every word 
That proceeds from the mouth of God...

A man who carries Me within him, bearing the 
Scars of My Passion in his heart, always...

Says The Lord. 

==Serve Me As I Have Loved You==
 
From this field I have called a select few, to be My examples; not according to their own righteousness, nor by their own strength or intellect, but according to My Word and by My spirit which dwells within them. These have forsaken everything for the sake of their Shepherd. They follow Me wheresoever I go. They listen to My voice and heed the call, and will by no means follow another. 
 

Therefore, you also shall strive to be My examples... 

Beloved ones, serve Me as I have loved you...

And remember, whatsoever you do 
For another, you have done it for Me; 
And whatsoever you do to another, 
Whether in goodness or in malice, 
You have done it also to Me...

Says The Lord. 

==The Narrow Way==
 
I have indeed bestowed upon this generation a multitude of gifts, a great number of words, words of warning and unsurpassed wisdom, words of exaltation and correction, calling all in the earth to repent. 
Lo, I have expounded many words of unending love, with great passion, revealing My Mercy which endures forever. Behold, I have proclaimed the way of salvation, time and time again, and He whose name is The Salvation of God! Yes, I have blown the trumpet and called forth My watchmen, I have struck the gates and rattled the doors, I have shaken the foundations of the earth! And still the people hold fast, clutching the pillars and shoring up the doors against Me! 
 

Yet from the beginning I established the line, 
A narrow way which I had placed in the 
Midst of My people, Israel...

And in My mercy, I revealed The Way 
In which My people should walk...

Behold, even now I have placed a 
Plumb line in the midst of all people, 
Setting all these crooked paths straight...

For I am The Lord, and I do not change. 

==The Perfect Sacrifice==
 
Behold, I had come to you as a man, 
Clothed in the flesh, humble, My glory set aside; 
God become man, Immanu El...

Living as all have lived in the body, 
Yet not as man lives in the spirit; 
For I am clean, having no sin in My body, 
Nor in My spirit, having obeyed every 
Command of The Father - blameless...

The Lamb of God without spot or blemish, 
Sent to die for the sins of the world, 
Bearing the full weight of 
Transgression in My own body...

The perfect sacrifice, acceptable to God, 
Whereby all men are reconciled to The Father, 
If they so choose to receive of The Free Gift 
And walk in My ways...

Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==The Victory==
 
All those who repent in My name, with 
Sincere remorse in their hearts, are saved...

For I am The One who makes it 
Possible for them to do so...

And though some have fallen asleep in death, 
And others are slain, even by their own hand, 
I ask you, shall death have the last word?...

BY NO MEANS! 
For I shall raise them up at the Last Day!...

For I have granted them the victory, even as 
I am The Victory, being The Firstfruits from death...

Even as those given Me shall likewise be first 
When the shout is made...

Says The Lord. 

==Search Not in the World‎‎==
 
My grace descends upon all who repent in sincerity and in truth, and My spirit dwells within those who keep The Commandments and testify to My glory. Therefore, receive of Me; then will that which you seek become clear. For your heart’s true desire can not be found in the world... Seek God!

 Again I say to you, search not in the world, 
For there you will not find Me; 
Nor seek Me in the churches of men, 
For there you will not find Me...

For I tell you the truth, 
The Kingdom of God is within you...

Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==Ingress==
 
Beloved ones, give your attention to those things I have set before you, obey all My commands, and consider that which I require of you... Trust in Me. 
Run not ahead, nor lag behind, but grow wise in My ways. Keep your eyes fixed upon Me, and be keenly aware of My goings out and comings in... Follow Me. 
 

Yet remember this...

The state of your heart 
Dictates how much you receive, 
And your obedience decides the ingress...

Your willingness sets the pace, and the strength 
Of your grip will keep you from falling...

Says The Lord. 

==The Commandments==
 
In My love, I laid for you an everlasting 
Foundation upon which you were to stand...

And in My mercy I constructed high walls, 
Made with the finest stone, to protect you, 
Even from yourselves...

Engraven stones, 
Touched by the finger of God...

Says The Lord. 

==My Spirit Dwells in My Own==
 
Beloved ones, I tell you the truth, the people of this world do not know Me. Therefore I have come close, to unstop the ears of all who long to hear My voice and obey it; I have drawn near, to open the eyes of all who desire to look upon My face and partake of My glory; and behold, I have poured out My spirit to restore the hearts of the penitent, to breathe new life into all those who embrace My words and seek to remain in My love. 
 

For I am come[https://www.thevolumesoftruth.com/I_AM_COME], and have come already; 
And behold, I shall also return 
And reveal My glory...

I have not departed from My people, 
For My spirit dwells in My own... 

Yet all must be broken... 

Some broken before the time, 
And many more after... 

Says The Lord. 

==Restored==
 
Once you were lost, yet now you are found...

Once you were naked, yet now you are clothed 
In fine linens of white, your filthy rags cast off forever...

Once you were hungry and very thirsty, starving 
In a world of empty promises, lies and vain deceits, 
Yet now you are nourished with The Word of Truth...

Once you were sick, mortally ill, 
Yet now you are healed in Me, now you are 
Restored because of Me - My body, My bride...

My precious flower, My pleasant plant, of which 
I shall pluck from the earth at the time appointed, 
Replanted in the Garden at dawn on the new day...

Therefore come forth, all My people, 
And flourish in the light of The Lord, 
And bear much fruit in The Beloved!...

Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==A Spear and a Sword==
 
My every Letter is a spear with which I 
Shall pierce the heart of this people...

Every Volume a sword by which I 
Shall divide them asunder...

A rod and a staff for those who believe... 

I AM THE LORD. 

==Contentions==
 
Answer not the obstinate, nor strive 
With those who reject My words...

Give no occasion to the adversary, 
Nor give the mocker a voice; 
Give the scoffer no consideration at all; 
Let them eat silence...

Rather pray for your adversaries...

For they do not fight against you, 
They contend with Me...

Says The Lord. 

==Labor of Love==
 
Beloved ones, treat those of My body as you wish to be treated. Consider not what tomorrow may bring, nor dwell on that which has passed; embrace them as they are in this moment. For the one who stands in front of you is the person they are today. For who they were yesterday has passed away, and the person they will become tomorrow is not yet revealed. For you know not what tomorrow will bring, nor do you truly know that which has passed. You know neither the heart nor the mind, nor are you able to search the thoughts or look upon the innermost intentions. 
Therefore, treat all My beloved as you would treat Me. Embrace your brothers and sisters in Messiah as you would embrace Me, walking with Me as I am and not as you would have Me be. For it is written: According to the judgment with which you judge shall you be judged, and with the measure you use shall it be measured back to you.[https://www.biblegateway.com/verse/en/Matthew%207%3A2] 
 

Yet the servant who walks with Me 
Moment by moment, treating their 
Brother or sister as they wish to be treated, 
Shall walk free, unhindered...

Their every reasonable service 
Becoming a labor of love...

Says The Lord. 

==Do Not Judge==
 
It is written: Do not speak evil of one another. For whoever speaks evil of a brother, or judges a brother, speaks evil of The Law and judges The Law. But if you judge The Law, you are not a doer of what The Law says, but a judge.[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=James%204%3A11&version=NKJV] 
 

In the same way, one who speaks evil 
Of My messenger and judges My prophet 
Speaks evil of Me and judges the Word...

And one who judges the Word will 
By no means obey it, but have set 
Themselves up as an authority, a judge, 
Held captive by their own evil thoughts. 
 

Again, one who refuses My messenger can by no means receive My message, and one who judges him has blinded themselves to the Truth. For there is none righteous, no, not one. Yet The One who sent the message is true. Thus the one who delivers My Word must also be its recipient, or how shall I send him? And all those who judge can do nothing and shall receive nothing; even that which they have shall be taken away, says The Lord. 

==Spiritual Warriors==
 
What is man? He is but flesh, his power of no use at all. And in his pride he seeks glory for himself, a false valor. And so he continually turns to his own devices, deceiving himself, thinking he stands though he has fallen. 
Foolhardy, he rushes into battle where he suffers injury after injury, ignoring his wounds, wounds which remain unhealed, infecting the whole of the body. Yet he continues on in his arrogance, his pride driving him forward, unable to see that he is cast down, saying within himself, “Look at my accomplishments, look upon all I have done!” And all the while satan laughs, saying, “Behold my acolytes; see how these men of battle have become like me.” 
 

Sons and daughters of men, you are no warriors...

You are casualties, spoils of a war 
Which was won from the foundation 
Of the world, of which I was also slain...

For I alone bear the scars of battle...

Lo, I bear them in My hands and My feet, 
Upon My back and in My side, wounds which I 
Received in the house of My friends...

Says The Lord. 

==An Ensign to All Nations==
 
Let the Trumpet be blown loudly! 
Let the call to repentance go out 
And the announcement be made!...

For I have lifted up an ensign to all nations, 
I have set up a standard for this sleeping generation...

A bright and shining lamppost for My people...

A light, the glory of which shall not be diminished, 
But shall only increase by measure...

Says The Lord. 

==Pure Works==
 
Beloved ones, worship Me as I am and not as you would have Me be! Obey MY voice! Depart from every form of evil and tear down every whitewashed wall of abomination! 
Again, I say, be separate and come out from among them, and repent! Return to Me, in spirit and in truth, and in the day I stretch out My hand against the inhabitants of the earth, you shall surely be gone from this place. 
My beloved servants, share your gifts: Lift up the poor and help the needy, give drink to the thirsty and feed the hungry, share My love and wash each other’s feet. Yet no longer be a friend of this world, and no more walk in the ways of the churches of men, for they have not known Me. 
 

Be set apart! Rejoice and give thanks!...

Honor The Messiah in spirit and in truth, 
And walk closely in His example; 
Testify of Him, from His birth to His passion; 
Glorify His name in all the earth!...

For HE is the true gift... 

Says The Lord. 

==Escape==
 
Embrace My words, obey that which I have 
Spoken to this generation, and you shall surely 
Escape all these things which I am about to do.

For as it was in the days of Lot, when I brought 
Him out of the city, so likewise shall I deliver 
My people in the Day of Wrath.

For those in whom The Messiah 
Dwells must be taken out of the way; 
Then shall I judge the earth and strike the nations.

For I do not change... 

Says The Lord. 

==The Wrath of God==
 
Beloved ones, come to Me, and I shall give you rest; 
Be drawn to Me, that I may lift you up.

For I tell you the truth, My wrath is coming; 
Behold, My anger is aroused, My fierce 
Jealousy burns like a raging fire 
And is about to come to the full.

Yet do not waver, but understand.

For My wrath is required, and the foundation 
Of My anger rests solidly upon My jealousy, 
By which My unending sorrow is also revealed.

For My wrath is born of sorrow, 
And My anger bursts forth as a husband 
Jealous over his bride, My fury as a father 
Protecting his children, as one mighty 
In battle breaking through the lines...

Says The Lord. 

==A Dry Tree==
 
What is a dry tree to he who holds the axe?

Yet when the winds pass through and catch 
The man sleeping, is he not easily 
Crushed by the weight of the tree?

Indeed, what is this forest full of tall trees 
Before Me, standing so tall with roots deeply 
Embedded in the world, blocking always the warmth 
Of the sun at eventide, casting long shadows 
Under which the wicked flock?

Are they not soon left cold, standing in darkness?

Are they not as those who seek shelter under a tree 
When the rains descend and the thunder crashes, 
Who meet a quick end when lightning strikes?...

Says The Lord. 

==The Plight of the Ungodly==
 
The words of scoffers come forth 
From a hard and troubled heart, 
From a place void of understanding.

Their words are like chaff, their every lofty 
Assertion dust, carried away by the wind.

As a ship tossed about by rough seas, 
So is the plight of the ungodly; 
In a dark sea of confusion, they attempt 
To sail against every wind of doctrine 
Which opposes them.

Yet all their toil is in vain...

For I am The Only Truth! I am God alone! 

==Indomitable==
 
Behold, all I have spoken 
Is established and shall be; 
My Word yields to no man.

For My words are poured out like rain, 
And My voice shakes the house like thunder, 
My every word a hailstone released from 
The treasury of hail, which I have 
Reserved for the Time of Trouble.

Behold, My wrath is a consuming fire, 
A mighty earthquake, encompassing 
The breadth of the whole earth!...

Says The Lord. 

==The Weeping Willow==
 
What is the high branch of the palm tree 
To that of the weeping willow? 
For they know not each other’s place.

Each bears seed after its own kind, 
Yet the ground beneath remains unyielding. 
And without the rain, the leaf fades 
And the seed flees back into the dust 
Of the ground, unable to rise again.

Therefore are they cut down as the cedars; 
They are broken and they are toppled when 
Calamity comes to claim them, washed away.

And who will mourn their passing or 
Search out their seed, that they might 
Be revived in another place?...

Says The Lord. 

==Cast Down==
 
Is My Word in need of confirmation by those who say they know Me, yet do not really know Me? Is the Word of My mouth subject to men, whose understanding remains altogether lacking, whose knowledge is corrupt and whose power is of no use at all? 
Shall My words be made subject to the approval of any self- appointed apostle, prophet or teacher? Shall flesh usurp the things of God? Can mortal man ascend above the throne of The Eternal? Shall the created rule over The Creator, or the corrupt sit as judge over The Holy? Shall any attempt to occupy My throne and not be cast down?! 
 

Thus the highly esteemed shall be abandoned, 
And the self-appointed severely abased...

Left to walk through the valley in the 
Great and Terrible Day of The Lord, 
Until death comes to claim them...

Declares The Lord. 

==The Doctrines of Men==
 
The doctrines of men are a 
Loathsome spot on every garment 
Worn in the name of truth!...

A detestable wrinkle within 
The tapestry of My glory!...

A horrible interwoven thread by 
Which those who call of themselves 
Christian pollute My name and mar 
My image before the people...

Says The Lord. 

==My Hand Is Removed==
 
The penitent wait and 
Bow down in thanksgiving.

Yet the arrogant and false righteous 
Stand up proudly, declaring their 
Deliverance, a deliverance which has 
Already passed and shall not come.

For My hand is removed 
And My spirit taken.[https://answersonlygodcangive.com/The_One_Who_Stays,_Lets]

For only those in whom I see of Myself 
Shall escape, and only those caught 
In My embrace shall fly away...

Says The Lord. 

==I Am God of the Living==
 
There is a people who sleep and a flesh which has no life in it, there are many who have been lost to the depths, a great multitude who have returned to the dust of the earth and can not be found. Yet The Lord God knows their names and their dwelling places; not one has passed from My sight, not one has been given up to the void. 
 

Behold, the day and hour is close at hand, 
Yea it is very near, when the dead in Messiah 
Shall arise and the sleepers shall awake, 
When the rotting corpses are revived 
And the dust gathers together once again...

From one end of the earth to the other, 
Even from the deepest depths, shall My people 
Rise up and give Me glory!...

Therefore let the children of Israel prepare, 
Let everyone joined to Messiah step forward 
And claim their inheritance...

For I have but to call out your name!.... 
 
For I am God of the living, 
The One alone worthy of all praise...

Says The Holy One of Israel. 

==The Indignation of The Lord==
 
My anger is kindled and 
Burns in the heat of My wrath; 
My indignation has come to the full 
And must be poured out!...

Like a dark storm building upon 
The horizon brings foreboding, 
As a great torrent inundates a city and 
Running waters quickly overtake a town...

Like fierce waves beat back the shore 
Or a raging sea capsizes a ship, 
As the power of the great whirlwind 
Causes widespread devastation...

So shall the indignation of The Lord be!...

Says The Lord. 

==A Broadsword==
 
The name of The Lord of Hosts is a broadsword, 
And My every word a freshly sharpened blade! 
For in My name is great power, and at the sound 
Of My name all darkness flees away!

For as a razor removes the stubble, 
And fervent heat burns away the dross, 
So shall My name purge the waste places 
And cleanse the polluted cities...

Until all these squawking birds are brought 
Down into silence and every tall tower 
Is toppled and left in ruins!...

Until Babel is utterly destroyed and every 
Last vestige of man’s invention is wiped 
From the face of the earth!...

Says The Lord God. 

==Signs==
 
Many great signs have been given 
To this generation, yet all have went 
Greatly ignored by the multitude; 
Yet those who are Mine have clearly seen.

Yet understand this, 
These signs are but the first of many, 
And shall continue, increasing by measure 
Until the time be fulfilled...

Then shall The Son of Man appear, 
Clothed in the brightness of His glory, 
A brilliance which has no equal; 
Even the blind shall see!...

Says The Lord. 

==In My Footsteps‎‎==
 
Beloved, I delight in that which one gives to another in My name, and by the works of their own hands and feet in all righteousness. This is the tithe in which I delight most. 
Therefore if one comes to you, saying, “Give me a cup of water,” give them a drink in My name. And if another comes, saying, “I need a shirt, for I am naked and cold,” give them your shirt and your coat also. And if this same one asks, “Will you walk with me this far?” Go with them double. 
 

Therefore, tithe not only 
Of your money and material possessions, 
But also of your strength and your time, 
As one willing to give up their life for My sake.

For this is to truly know Me, 
This is to walk in Me, in My very footsteps, 
And to love your neighbor as yourself...

Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==The Way of the Upright‎‎==
 
Those who have received eyes to see, 
See the way ahead clearly and 
Without obstruction, and follow it.

And those who have received ears to hear, 
Hear the Truth and obey it...

Says The Lord. 

==A Welcomed Rain==
 
Beloved, I have poured out My spirit on all flesh, even as I was poured out for you from the beginning. Yet no one comes to drink, not one is willing to receive of Me as I truly am. Therefore I shall indeed remove My hand, and My spirit shall return to Me.[https://www.thevolumesoftruth.com/I_Shall_Remove_My_Hand_and_My_Spirit_Shall_Be_Withdrawn..._And_That_Purposed_from_the_Beginning_Shall_Be_Done,_It_Shall_Be_Accomplished_Swiftly#I_Shall_Remove_My_Hand_and_My_Spirit_Shall_Be_Withdrawn...] Behold, from every individual who refuses to give heed to My voice and embrace My correction has it departed already. 
Yet let all those who remain in My love understand and have peace. For though My spirit departs from the multitudes and the ensuing darkness be thick, though wickedness overflows and every man of pride who being wise in his own eyes is left confounded, I shall not make a total end. 
 

For My hand shall remain with the faithful, 
And My strength shall be revealed in My anointed.

Behold, My spirit shall well up within 
The hearts of the penitent and come upon 
My chosen as a welcomed rain, and they shall 
Be greatly increased, shining ever brighter, 
Even amidst thick clouds and darkness...

Says The Lord. 

==Prepare the Way of The Lord==
 
Prepare in the desert the way of The Lord! 
Make a straight path in these 
Dry and parched lands, 
For The Holy One of Israel!

Let every valley be exalted, 
And every mountain and hill brought low! 
Let the crooked places be made straight, 
And the rough places smooth!

For The Glory of The Lord shall be 
Revealed from Heaven, and all 
People shall behold it together!...

Declares The Lord. 

==The Joy of The Lord==
 
Beloved, come and be filled with the joy of The Lord, which never fades, nor does it slumber, nor will it ever pass away; a flood of joy flowing into the innermost parts of your being, cascading through your spirit, reaching deep into that hidden place known only to The Lord; a place crafted by My own fingertips, delicately fashioned so those of the flesh may know Me, unlocked and opened by the trusting in and the knowledge of The Greatest of All Loves...

A love which surpasses time and space, life and death, a place of perfect peace, yea inside pure and undefiled love; love of such a kind, cleansing every part seen and unseen, known and unknown; the love of such power and majesty, even that which has been corrupted is restored in the image of God... From grace to Grace, from light to The Light...

My glory shown in you and through you, bright and shining, a flame brought forth from My own glory, shared with My beloved forever; a flame which can never be put out, nor can it flicker, nor shall it be covered over again! For where I am there is no darkness at all! Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==A Trumpet and Alarm==
 
Let all who behold My words look upon 
Them as an ensign, as a waving banner brought 
Forth and set up for this wayward generation, 
Even as a trumpet and alarm blowing 
Continually upon the wall...

Let its sound rush through the streets of the cities! 
Let its noise be carried into the wilderness, 
Even to the outermost isles!

And let all those who have ears to hear listen, 
And be silent before their God, and pray.

Indeed, let all in the earth partake of My Word 
And be brought into deep and profound silence, 
And consider...

Says The Lord. 

==The Stone==
 
I shall increase the sound of 
My voice seven times, even as Jericho, 
Until all things break and all are broken...

Many broken unto death, ground to dust 
Beneath The Stone which shall be placed in Zion, 
For The Stone shall become a great mountain 
Filling the whole earth...

While still others, My hidden treasure, 
My battered and bruised sheep, 
The wild of My flock, are broken and 
Come to rest solidly atop this same Stone, 
The Rock of My Enduring Promise...

Says The Lord. 

==The Lord Your Righteousness==
 
The Lord your God has a Holy One. He is The Head of the body, The True Sanctuary, The Only Life Without End! Behold, He is a strong tower, a fortified city in the day of battle, an all-encompassing fire, The Mighty and Strong One whose rod is made of iron, The Law-Giver... The Source of Life by which all things consist, your Carpenter and Redeemer, The Salvation of God! 
Therefore wait upon The Lord with meekness and fear, with unwavering trust; wait for Him! For He is The Fountain of Living Waters for all who thirst, a fruitful vine for the hungry, a wealth of riches for all those who come to Me empty. 
 

Therefore, beloved, give Him glory! 
Lift up your voices with everlasting praise! 
Bring thanksgiving to the altar, 
And offer up your hearts before Him!

Shout His name to the heavens, 
For He is The Lord your Righteousness!...

YAHUSHUA HAMASHIACH!... 

IMMANU EL! 

==The Voice of The Lord==
 
And what of My voice, you ask? Its sound? Its tone? Its passion? 
This is what I say to you: Listen, and you shall also know...

How does water taste to the man 
Lost in the desert, dying of thirst?

How does food taste to the starving?

How does love feel to the desolate?

How does the warmth of a fire feel 
To those coming in from the cold?

How does the caress of your 
Beloved feel after many days apart?

How does a father look upon his newborn child?

How can one describe the sound 
Of love which surpasses knowledge, 
The sound of what My love is?

Can you hold the infinite in your hand?! 
 

Beloved, this is what My voice 
Sounds like to those who love Me: 
 

A still small voice. 
 

And to the rest: 
The sound of rushing waters, 
Lightnings and thunderings of fury and fiery anger, 
With deep and infinite sorrow, bitter anguish! 
 

Love. 
 

The Voice of Truth. 

==The Volumes==
 
My Word in The Volumes of Truth is the rod by which the translations of men are to be tested, a light which shines upon the doctrines of men to expose them, revealing them to be blasphemies and heresies before God, all of which shall burn up in the Day, when the fire comes to test the quality of each man’s work. 
 

Therefore, if one professing faith be wise, 
He shall humble himself before Me, 
Calling upon the name of The Holy One 
For knowledge, in where all understanding 
Flows to the truly contrite and penitent, 
Flowing in pure testimony, free from corruption.

And by this only shall one be wise in the reading, 
Comparing that which was given with that 
Which is put forth once again, discerning 
The Source and The Author to be the same...

One Word, One Book, 
One on-going Testament to My glory; 
By no means shall it be divided into three!...

Says The Lord. 

==The Tabernacle of My Mercy==
 
Behold, I shall come in an instant! 
In a moment, I shall reach down and take My spoil!

Therefore, let the remnant of Israel be found 
Waiting with eager hands, and let those grafted 
Into My olive tree bear summer fruit!

Let the sprigs sprout quickly, 
And let not the seedlings be withered; 
Let not the noonday sun wilt or scorch 
Any of My pleasant plants.

Be moved from your places, 
Oh My people, and be hidden! 
Be exalted, oh My beautiful ones, 
And find sanctuary in the tabernacle of My mercy!

Be sheltered from all this burning heat, 
Until the indignation passes by 
And The Majesty comes![https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isaiah%2026%3A20-21&version=NKJV]...

Says The Lord. 

==The Only Judge‎‎==
 
Nothing coming from the mouth of those who scoff and shoot out the lip against The Lord’s anointed, whether they be a friend or an enemy, a spouse or a relative, a neighbor or a stranger, a scholar or a teacher, a pastor or a self-appointed prophet or preacher, shall be accounted as true. Neither shall any weight be given to their arguments; it is wind. For I alone sit as judge, says The Lord. 

==Brought Low‎‎==
 
As the scythe cuts through the stalk, 
As the sweeping blow fells many plants at once, 
So shall the sharpness of realization cut to the heart 
Of this people, and in that same moment the 
Loftiness of many shall be brought down...

Declares The Lord. 

==The Author and The Finisher==
 
If you embrace the Scriptures of Truth, 
Yet reject My Word in these Volumes, 
You deny the Word of The Lord.

And if you embrace My Letters, 
Yet reject the Bible, 
You deny the Word of The Lord.

For I am The Author and Finisher thereof... 

Says The Lord. 

==Solace==
 
I shall not make a total end...

For I shall clothe all who come to Me 
In sincere repentance with fine robes.

I shall feed the poor in spirit, 
Wipe the tears of the remorseful, 
And uphold the broken.

I shall shelter the penitent and give grace 
To the humble, and the pure in heart 
Shall behold My face.

Indeed, all who wash My feet 
With their tears shall be comforted 
For one week in the house of The Lord...

Says The Holy One of Israel. 

==The Almighty‎‎==
 
I AM THE LORD...

He who sets up kingdoms and brings them to ruin! 
He who set the foundations of the earth 
And covered them with beauty! 
He who also set the stars in their places 
And caused the galaxies to take their form! 
He to whom all creation bows down!...

He whose power is limitless and by whose wisdom 
All things were brought forth, 
Whose authority is absolute, 
The God who reigns in Israel!...

He who was and is and is to come, 
The Almighty! 

==Refinement==
 
The lake of My burning heart is a consuming fire, 
And in the heat of My jealousy I shall purify 
My people seven times, until only that 
Which bears My likeness remains...

The refined lifted up, the wicked consumed, 
Destruction of every kind of evil!...

For I am The Lord who was and is, 
Even from the beginning, 
And to the end and forever after I remain...

Says The Lord. 

==The Planting of The Lord==
 
Pretense is not at all becoming of a servant 
Of The Lord; neither is the world a garment 
Which My elect shall wear.

Beloved, strip yourselves naked; 
Cast off these filthy robes! 
Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean! 
Turn away from this world, and come to Me!

Lay yourselves upon the altar and 
Become a living sacrifice to The Lord, 
The planting of The Lord, My pleasant plants 
Set in the midst of My vineyard, 
My beautiful ones grafted in...

Says The Lord. 

==A Unique and Lovely Song==
 
Here is wisdom: The prayers of My children are indeed precious in My sight, a unique and lovely song entering My ears. For every song sung in My name, whether in open or in secret, in sorrow or in joy, is received up to Heaven as a memorial before The Holy One of Israel, even as incense before the altar. For that which has come up before Me is a blessing, which is then received back again, a wonderful recompense for fervent prayer on another’s behalf. 
 

Thus that prayed due to a troubled heart 
Comes back again, to heal not the heart 
Of the one on whose behalf the prayer was offered, 
But to mend that which is torn in the 
Heart of the one who offered it...

Whether it be from anger to forgiveness, 
Or from anguish to peace, 
Or from tears of sadness to tears 
Of hope and joyful expectation...

Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==A Prophet==
 
What is a prophet?...

Is he not a man, My servant, 
Whom I have chosen and called? 
And when does My servant become a prophet? 
And what is the length of time he remains as such?

Lo, he is only a prophet in that self-same moment 
In which I speak to him and cause him to hear, 
Prophesying only as long as I cause him 
To speak or to write My words.

For there is no prophecy apart from My will, 
And without My voice there can be no prophesying; 
And without My spirit, no man may hear, 
Nor shall he behold a vision, 
Nor is he able to understand.

Apart from The Holy One, 
There is no knowledge... 

I AM THE LORD. 

==No Equal==
 
I am The Lord, He who stretched out the heavens and hung the earth upon nothing. I am He who created all these worlds, He who causes all things to be. I am He who formed man from the dust of the earth and gave him breath, and he became a living soul. Behold, I spoke all life into existence, yes, I am He who called all things into existence, saying, “Arise and declare My glory!” For all creation obeys the sound of My voice.

 
Yea, the whole universe declares My glory! 
For I am He who commanded the stars to shine 
Their light and the galaxies to take their form.

Behold, My voice reaches across the universe, 
And reverence is spread out before Me; 
For I command the hills to bow down and the 
Mountains to be brought low, and it is so; 
Yea, the whole earth trembles when I pass by!

For I am great in power and My glory has no equal!

Thus the fear of The Lord goes before Me, 
And obedience follows after Me...

Says The Lord. 

==Maranatha==
 
Fear God and put all your trust in The Holy One. For the power of The Father is displayed through The Son, for He is the express image of The Holy, The Salvation of God... He whose hand reaches far and wide, whose strength is almighty, whose wisdom holds all creation in His understanding, whose love endures forever! He whose righteousness comes, and had been stretched out before us, for every eye to see! The end of which shall be as a flood cleansing the sanctuary of His mercy, restoring all things, even to a new heavens and a new earth. 
 

Behold, it is time for the power 
Of God to be made known, for the name 
Of The Holy One of Israel to be glorified 
Above the heights of the mountains, 
To overshadow every hill!...

It is time for The King to return and gather, 
To reveal the glory of His might!...

Immanu El! 

==Trust In God Alone==
 
What is earthly, let it stay earthly; 
And what is spiritual, let it stay spiritual.

Hold not to the earthly nor to the 
Understanding of men, nor grab hold 
Of any private interpretation of Scripture; 
Trust not in the doctrines of men.

Hold fast to God, 
And place all your trust in The Messiah. 

==Open Your Eyes to The Truth==
 
Search, and you shall discover the truth, which is God. Dissect life’s structures; there He is, its writer and fashioner. Look deeper and farther than ever before, and there you will find Him. Calculate and count all things which are before your eyes, yes, search the cosmos, study it, and you will begin to know Him. No matter where you point your lenses, there He is, within the scope of your understanding. 
 

Behold, all discoveries lead to God! 
Though you need not seek, nor discover, 
For the knowledge of God is within you.

Yet only the shedding of the skin 
Of this world and the death of your pride 
Shall open your eyes to The Truth - 
Which is absolute, forever standing 
On a hill, bright and shining, 
Immovable, unbreakable!...

The Everlasting Stone which has 
Become The Head of the Corner, 
The Great Mountain which 
Fills the whole earth! 

==Seek The Light==
 
Those who seek to understand the dark 
Will soon find themselves trapped 
In the midst of it, unable to break free.

Yet those who seek The Light will find it, 
And I will show them The Way; 
In these darkness has no foothold...

Says The Lord. 

==The Redeemed==
 
Beloved, cast off your sins, 
Depart quickly from temptation, 
And to the accuser turn a deaf ear.

For I tell you the truth, evil has lost 
Its grip on the redeemed...

Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==The Riches of Eden==
 
Only those in union with The Messiah 
Shall inherit the riches of Eden, 
And only those who fully accept 
His sacrifice shall be restored.

For from the garden did you come forth, 
And to the garden shall you return; 
Yet not in the former manner, but in glory...

Created anew... 

Says The Lord. 

==A Right Heart==
 
A right heart bridles the tongue; 
And a forgiving heart absolves every hurt, 
Bringing peace to the mind...

Says The Lord. 

==The Restoration==
 
Behold, The Restoration is coming, coming quickly!...

All things restored as in the beginning; 
A garden where nothing is destroyed, 
And none are given to destruction; 
No more pain or tears, no more sickness or death...

Only life is, and shall be, forever!... 

Says The Lord. 

==Unchanging==
 
As I have spoken, so I speak; 
As I am, so shall I be and have always been...

For I am The Lord, 
And I DO NOT CHANGE. 

==The Time of Testing==
 
My spirit has spoken throughout 
The generations, in its steadfastness and quiet; 
Yet few have ears to hear, few are willing 
To open their hearts and receive My correction.

Yet now the time has come for those 
Who say they are My people to be tried, 
It is time for their works to be tested.

For the Word of My mouth shall declare it, 
And in the Day of The Lord 
It shall surely be made plain...

Every false way exposed, 
Every perverse tradition torn in pieces, 
Every detestable doctrine crushed 
Beneath the weight of the Truth...

Says The Lord. 

==All Tears Wiped Away==
 
Those who grab hold of their First Love 
With all their heart, with all their mind, 
With all their strength and with all their soul, 
Shall never go hungry, nor shall they thirst anymore; 
Nor shall the heat of the noonday 
Sun do them any harm...

Yea, even all their tears shall be wiped away 
In the house of The Lord...

Says The Lord. 

==Tipping Point==
 
I tell you the truth, that which is tipped can not be set upright again, and that which has been set in motion can not be stopped. Lo, even that which was held captive in the depths of silence has been released. Behold, it comes forth, increasing by order of magnitude, and can in no wise be put back again... Says The Lord. 

==One Salvation==
 
I have put forth a great multitude of words to bless you, a great number of loving and stern speeches. I have called this generation to repent, and have given ample warning. And those who cupped their ears heard My voice, and those who received of Me wrote My words in their heart, sincerely seeking to do them, that they might honor Me and bring glory to My name. 
 

For I AM THE LORD, 
And there is but One Escape...

Whether one lives or dies, 
There is but One Salvation...

No matter the time or the season, 
There is but One...

Declares The Almighty. 

==Trust==
 
Behold, the signs of My coming 
Are made plain and are revealed in the 
World everyday, even in every corner.

Yet that which I am doing is not 
Easily discerned by men; 
For their hearts are hard, and they 
Remain slow of understanding.

Therefore great trust is required, 
And must be born of real belief, 
Knowing I AM WHO I AM...

Says The Lord. 

==Acquiesce==
 
Listen to the sound of My voice, 
Fall in love with Me as at the first, 
Come to Me anew as in the beginning; 
Beloved, it is time to acquiesce, 
To fully surrender to the truth of who I am!...

To be submersed in My spirit, 
To be baptized in My love, 
To seek first The Kingdom of God 
And His Righteousness, which I am...

Then shall that which is needful be added to you... 

I AM THE LORD. 

==The Lord’s Day==
 
Behold, The Son of Righteousness shall rise up with healing in His wings, and you, My precious beloved, shall go out leaping like calves released from the stall! The King, Himself, shall cultivate the ground in that day, with streams of living waters breaking out behind Him! Behold, new life shall fill every corner, and the desolate places shall be restored! Whole forests shall burst forth from the ground, with every kind of tree and flowering plant, every kind of grass and fern reappearing, and every living creature leaping up from the dust of the earth, once again! 
Behold, The Lord’s peace shall be there! And nothing under the sun shall destroy, nor shall anything be given to destruction, in all My holy mountain! For there shall be no predator, nor shall any prey be found, neither shall the strong slay the weak. For as it is written: The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, the lion shall eat straw like the ox, and dust shall be the serpent’s food.[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isaiah+65%3A25&version=NKJV] All shall dwell in safety, with every living creature dwelling at peace with its neighbor. 
Behold, in that day everlasting righteousness shall reign in all the earth! For The King shall stand up, and all creation shall bow down! And He shall look upon the joy of His heart with gladness, and the blessing shall be fulfilled: He shall bless them and keep them, and make His face to shine upon them; He shall be gracious to them, and lift up His countenance upon them, and grant them peace.[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Numbers%206%3A24-26&version=NKJV] 
And thus shall My name be placed upon the children of Israel, even upon all who have been grafted in, and they shall be blessed. Yea, they shall be exceedingly glad, dwelling in the presence of The Lord, forever! 
Behold, the multitudes shall break forth into singing! For The Glory of The Lord shall be alive in their hearts, the seal of The Living God shall be upon their foreheads, the Way of The Lord shall dwell in their limbs, and unending praise shall be upon their lips! All their doings shall bear fruit in righteousness, for The Law shall be written there, even in their innermost parts! And behold, The King of Peace shall overflow, and His people shall be satisfied and have rest, our joy complete. 
 

Therefore, blessed are all those who seek 
Forgiveness in YahuShua HaMashiach, 
And also receive.

For in His name shall all find freedom, 
Solace under the shadow of His healing wings...

Life without end... 

Says The Lord God.

Words of Wisdom From The Lord, Our God and Savior

 <center>__TOC__</center> 
==Introduction==
 WORDS TO LIVE BY... 
 
More Words of Wisdom 
From The Lord, Our God and Savior 
 
For all those who have dedicated 
Themselves to Me by means of The Truth, 
Those who have recognized My words 
And also do them... 
 
Those who came to Me empty 
That I might fill them up, 
That they might be truly dedicated to Me... 
 
Even as I had dedicated Myself to them also, 
That we may become one... 
 
Set apart in My glory, for My glory, 
To the joy of their Father in Heaven... 
 Says The Lord YahuShua.
 
Behold, My words shall never pass away. For as I am, so also is My Word. For it proceeds from Me, being manifest by He Who Is True, also being called The Word... Living... Always feeding His flock The Word, which is written for their nourishment, which is to be received through that part of Himself which is also in Me, says The Lord God. ~ [From “[[The Word of My Mouth]]” ~ [[Volume 7]]]
 
It is written: 
 
“Man shall not live by bread alone, 
But by every word that proceeds 
From the mouth of God.” 
 
[Matthew 4:4] 

==Come, Love Awaits You==
 
Come, all those who know not My ways; I will show you.

Come, all those who have been abandoned; 
I will comfort you and give you shelter.

Come, all those who are crippled; 
Let us run and leap for joy together!

Come, all those faithless; 
I shall fill your cup, and watch how it overflows!

Come, all murderers; 
Watch Me raise you, and all who sleep, from the grave.

Come, all you who blaspheme, I will give you a new voice; 
Bring with you all those who are blind and deaf, 
For they too shall see and hear!

Indeed, come all those who have sinned against Me, take My hand! 
I will lead you to the waters where I shall wash you, 
And where your new clothes hang upon the tree 
Which grows next to the stream.

Come one, come all! Ask, and it shall be given you! 
For all things are possible with God 
And made manifest through The Son... 
 
Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==Crowning Glory==
 
The love of God is His crowning glory...

And that love is revealed in the glory of The Son, 
By which His beloved are also crowned. 

==The Spirit of Truth Brings Conviction==
 
This question was asked of The Lord, regarding [https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke+15%3A11-32&version=NKJV Luke 15:11-32:] Lord, have I become hard like the older son? Have I put my hand to tasks, and forgotten to build up compassion for those who have gone astray? Is this story meant to convict me, Lord? 
 

[The Lord answered]

If your heart is convicted, 
Then has it not also given answer 
To your prayer already, 
Revealing the Spirit which dwells 
Within you, of what sort it is?

For only the Spirit of Truth will bring forth 
Conviction unto righteousness, 
Bearing much fruit in The Beloved... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==The First Stitch==
 
The first stitch, to mend any rent, 
Are the words “I’m sorry”... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==YAHUWAH Is One; And His Word, One‎‎==
 
The Old Testament is The Father revealing Himself, while pointing to The Son. The New Testament is The Son revealing Himself while pointing to The Father, also fulfilling the Messianic prophecies of the Old Testament in Himself. The Letters<ref>“The Letters” refers to The Volumes of Truth</ref> are The Father and The Son revealing themselves as One, even as the Word of God is one, with The Letters being the culmination of the whole - not separate, but one.

 
Therefore, to reject any part of 
The Lord’s Word is to reject the whole.

The three books are one...

One on-going testament to God’s glory. 
<references/>

==Removing The Veil‎‎==
 
Thus says The Lord: Those who receive of Me begin to see with eyes wide open, with the deafness of their ears healing quickly. 
Yet those who have not received rely upon the spirit of men to discern, and stumble greatly; rejecting My Word spoken to this generation, while at the same time polluting My Word from aforetime; firmly securing the veil which remains atop their heads, covering their faces in an attempt to hide their shame. 
 

Therefore, I have spoken it and shall 
Say it again before this perverse 
And most wicked generation, 
Though they can in no wise bear to hear it...

I AM COME![https://www.thevolumesoftruth.com/I_AM_COME]THE TIME IS HERE!

And behold I, The Lord your God, 
Will do nothing until I have revealed 
My plans to My servants, the prophets, 
And this I have done. 

==Serving Others in Love‎‎==
 
Beloved, by serving others in love, 
Putting their needs before your own...

By sacrificing yourself, 
Your desires, your wants, your will, 
Your body, even your very life...

Will you learn what it truly means 
To wash each other’s feet, 
Says The Lord. 

==Prayers of the Sincere in Heart==
 
Prayer request: Please pray that pride won’t become an issue for me, because I just wanna walk with YahuShua only. 
 

[The Lord answered]

In your request is wisdom; 
For those of a sincere heart, 
Whose prayer is to flee from pride, 
Have received of their request 
Already in the asking...

Whereby they have also begun 
To build up a hedge about themselves, 
Because of their intent... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==Touching the Heart of God==
 
The hard of heart have no knowledge; 
Even all revelation is hidden from their eyes.

Yet one who shares in My cup, 
Weeping heavily upon My chest, 
Has touched the heart of God.

For sincere tears open the door to My fullness, 
Yet a hard heart is a locked door... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==Matters of the Heart==
 
The wailing of the penitent 
Brings forth healing; 
Yet the words of the wicked 
Cause only pain. 
 
Love flows outward from 
The hearts of the righteous; 
Yet the love of the wicked 
Grows cold, as hate enters in. 

==What Is Pure?==
 
Giving thanks to God 
In My name is pure worship, 
Yet the wicked man 
Demands honor for himself.

The heart of a child is pure, 
Yet the heart of the mature is corrupt... 
 
Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==The Spirit of Unity==
 
The spirit of unity is in Me, walking in My footsteps, doing unto others as you would have them do unto you; remembering that all you do to others, whether good or bad, you have done also to Me. 
Have I not spoken to this already, in the Gospel of My servant, John? For I said to love one another, and to wash each other’s feet, and that you can do nothing apart from Me. 
 

Therefore be one in Me, 
Even as I long to be one with you, 
Even as The Father and I are One, 
That our love may be made perfect in One...

You in Me, I in you, 
To the joy of The Father... 
 
Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==A Wise Guide==
 
One who endeavors to teach My flock, 
Using the Word of My own mouth, 
Must grow very wise in the hearing 
And must be wide awake in the Spirit...

Discerning, says The Lord. 

==The True Jew==
 
This question was asked: What is the definition of a true Jew? 
 
[The Lord answered] The definition of a true Jew is this: YahuShua. Therefore, all those in whom I dwell are Jews indeed. For they are true, even as I am true... Let none, therefore, bring even one railing accusation against MY olive tree! Says The Lord. 

==Finishing the Race==
 
It is the man who endures through the pain, 
And perseveres through every obstacle, 
Who finishes the race.

Yet the man who surrenders all to The Lord 
Will fly with eagle’s wings. 

==Dual Paths==
 
Let those who do wickedly 
Walk in the way they have chosen, 
Until their foot becomes ensnared.

And let those who are Mine seek 
Righteousness apart from the wicked, 
Until they are lifted up, 
High upon healing wings!... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==Leading Others in Righteousness==
 
Can any man lead while wielding a whip?

Yet The Lord is above all. 

==Grace to the Humble==
 
Behold, The Lord raises His voice 
Within the hearts of the elect! 
Yet His silence bears witness 
Against those who refuse to hear. 
 
Pride is a veil held fast 
Over the heads of the arrogant; 
It shall cover them in the day of darkness. 
Yet the way of the elect is a crown of glory, 
And grace covers them. 

==I Know My Own==
 
Those who are Mine receive of Me. For I know My own, and they seek Me; My bride is chosen. Yet those who reject Me and My Word have not known Me, nor will they receive; My spirit is far removed. 
Those who set themselves apart from Me, whether by word or deed or by pretense, their hearts are revealed; these shall be left to walk through very dry places. Yet those who seek Me in truth shall be drawn in quickly, whether they are near or far, for I know My own. And those who are married unto Me shall surely enter in. 
Therefore, judge no more by human standards, discern by right standards, according to My love and the knowledge you have received in Me. 
 

For I AM THE LORD, whose will is set 
And can in no wise be turned back; 
Even from the beginning, 
It was decided and accomplished.

For I AM...

And My bride has always been 
Predestined in The Beloved, 
Says The Lord. 

==Strength in Weakness==
 
A man’s strength is revealed 
In confronting his greatest weakness, 
Yet a man’s greatest strength 
Becomes his enemy 
When pride enters in.

Yet My strength is made perfect 
In My servant’s weakness... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==Stop Lying to Your Children==
 
(Regarding Santa, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy and the like)

No lie is of the Truth. Yet the little ones are of The Truth, and remain with Me and in Me. Even now I call to them, for My lambs know My voice. And that which came from Me must soon return to Me.Therefore, be separate from the ways of this world, and order your conduct according to The Word of Truth. And no more speak lies to your children, for this is sin. 
 

Rather feed them with The Bread 
Which came down from Heaven, 
The Bread which I am, 
The Way, The Truth, The Life; 
For this alone is pleasing to God.

Anything to the contrary 
Is of the world and the evil one, 
No matter its disguise... 
 
Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==All I Have Is Yours...==
 
For in knowing Me you possess all things... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==The Only Fountain of Knowledge==
 
That which is revealed to one may not yet be revealed to another. And those who have seen, have seen, yet most have only understood dimly. Therefore trust is required, and comes before understanding, for understanding can only come from Me. For I am The Only Fountain, The Only Knowledge in which is life. 
Beloved, when one loses sight of Me or turns away, understanding darkens. Yet one who keeps Me in front of them, coming to Me at all times and in every season, in them understanding brightens and they will have peace. For they abide in Me, and rest in the knowing that all things are held within My understanding, and are given and received according to the good pleasure of My will.

 
And indeed, this is sufficient for them. 
For they had first sought after 
The Kingdom of God and His righteousness, 
By which much revelation was added to them, 
According to the Spirit which I have 
Poured out for them... 
 
Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==Mature Faith==
 
Blessed are those who answer, “Yes, Lord,” 
For their faith is revealed.

Blessed are those who pray, “Your will be done, Lord,” 
For they have great trust.

Blessed are those who say, “Amen, Lord,” 
At all times and in every season, 
For they have understood.

Blessed are those who know, I AM WHO I AM; 
They shall have peace... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==Blessed Is The Name of The Lord==
 
By My name is your heart sealed; 
For in My name is the Spirit given, 
The Spirit which also testifies of My name.

By My name are you established in life, 
As a bride prepared for her husband.

Therefore, everyone who refuses 
To take My name shall not see life, 
For there is but One Way into life...

I am The Way, says The Lord YahuShua. 

==Sabbath Peace==
 
On the Sabbath, 
Let no unclean thing come from your mouth; 
Let only praise and beauty come forth.

Let My grace be your covering, 
Let gentleness and humility be your companion.

And soon you will wear a crown of glory 
Atop your head,
says The Lord YahuShua. 

==Two Robes==
 
Can one wear two robes without constraint? Or can one place one robe over another, and it not tear? Is it wise to put on one robe, while wearing another already? And shall one attempt to wear a robe of white, to conceal a soiled one beneath? Will they not both become unclean?

 
Therefore, take off the one 
Which is soiled and cast it away! 
That the other may be worn properly 
And without constraint...

Lest it tear, revealing your shame... 
 
Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==Healing by Faith==
 
Faith is believing I AM WHO I AM, and that I am able to perform it. Faith can by no means be attained, nor can one grab hold of it by human means.

For there are works done without faith, which are dead; and a faith which has works, which is also dead. Yet your faith came by My works, which enabled you to believe I AM WHO I AM. And all good works, which come forth from you, are My works also. 
Therefore if one is to be healed in accordance with My will, that same one must surrender to Me and My will, making no effort to increase their faith by human power as a means to a desired end.

 
Rather they acquiesce...

Knowing that all things will be done 
In their proper time and season, 
According to the love 
Of their Father in Heaven...

Doubting nothing...
 
Says The Lord. 

==Revelation Is Greater Than Knowledge==
 
While praying about those who have discounted The Lord’s words in The Volumes of Truth, those who think they have attained such great knowledge, The Lord spoke and said...

 
The knowledge they possess is earthly, 
But I am Heavenly!

What they have received is from below, 
But I am from above!

All they know is passing away, 
Yet I abide forever!

They dwell in the darkness, even now, 
And remain void of understanding, 
Yet I AM HE who dwells 
In the unapproachable light!... 
 
Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==The Companion of Fools==
 
Unrighteous jealousy is the companion of fools.

For those who envy also grab hold of jealousy, 
Walking hand in hand with covetousness. 

==Deliverance==
 
Blessed are those who run to Me, 
For they shall be blessed in My presence.

Even more blessed are those 
Who run to Me, then obey My Word, 
For their blessing is complete 
And they are at peace...

Deliverance they shall surely know, says The Lord. 

==Trust, Obey and Love==
 
Trust with abandonment, 
Obey without expectation, 
And love without condition.

For in this shall you truly know Me, 
With your faith progressing 
Quickly toward perfection... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==Who You Are==
 
Who you are at home reveals 
The person you remain.

Therefore, do not be as the hypocrite 
Who has two faces, for I see all your doings, 
I know your heart.

For by a man’s actions is his heart revealed, 
And by his mouth is he defined before others... 
 
Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==Who You Choose==
 
Here is wisdom:

Who you choose, not what 
You choose, is the answer; 
For who you choose defines what you do.

And whosoever chooses another, 
And not Me in truth, has chosen themselves, 
And has done according to their own will... 
 
Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==Embracing The Gift==
 
The Holy Days are the 
Stepping stones to Heaven...

In understanding their meaning shall you 
Progress quickly along the path I have laid...

And when I have fulfilled them to the last 
The journey shall be complete, 
For those who have accepted and received... 
 
Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==Notoriety==
 
Notoriety is a stumbling block at the 
Feet of the prideful, and fame puffs up; 
Pride goes before a fall, and fame is short-lived; 
Lo, a famous man is honored 
More in his death than in his life.

Yet what does it profit? 
For the meek shall inherit the earth. 

==Forbidden Fruit==
 
If the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil, 
Then pride is the tree and notoriety its branches; 
Death shall be the reward 
Of all those who eat from it...

Yea darkness is reserved for all those 
Who take shelter in its shade. 

==Evident==
 
If wisdom is justified by her children, 
Then the folly of fools is evident 
And the way of the wicked is death.

Yet the humility of the meek shall hide them 
In the Day of The Lord’s Anger. 

==The Meek and the Foolish==
 
The wise are quiet and know when to speak, 
And the humble are barely noticed.

Yet the prideful announce themselves as with a trumpet, 
And the plight of the slothful is made plain by their complaint. 

==Walking in The Word==
 
Rejoice in the wisdom of The Lord, 
And find joy in His correction.

For only those who have received 
Of the Spirit of Truth are able to see, 
And only those who love The Truth 
Are able to hear.

Yet only those who embrace 
The Messiah fully, who also write 
His words upon their hearts, will do them; 
And peace, the kind of which only The Lord 
Can give, shall be their companion. 

==Narrow Is The Way==

 
Very narrow is the way, yet look how easily a little child passes through... 
Men and women of this world, you stand too tall, your girth is too wide. Lose this height therefore and bow down, for you are puffed up; as fatted cattle you have become meet for the slaughter. Therefore, refuse all this rotten food fed to the masses, and eat no more from the filthy plates served in the churches of men. Rather partake of the food I give you, and be satisfied. For I tell you the truth, until you decrease in the world’s eyes, and are humbled in your own, you shall by no means pass through. For the first harvest shall be lowly, of the lowly, says The Lord. 

==Due Reward==
 
The high man stands proud, and the man of low degree is tread down! The eyes of The Lord have seen it, the ears of The Lord have heard it! Therefore shall the error of the proud be exposed, and the look of the lofty be brought low! For the span of My holy mountain is great, filling the breadth of the whole earth; the weight of the stone, infinite! And woe to those who are crushed beneath it! Says The Lord of Hosts.

 
Yet the man of low degree shall arise, 
And the humble sleeper shall awake from his slumber.

They together shall inherit the land, 
They together shall live in the top of The Mountain!

And the broken shall receive healing atop The Stone... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==Wonderful==
 
The power of The Lord is without end! His love covers His creation like a blanket, and the light of His glory reaches beyond the stars of heaven! His majesty is beyond comprehension; it transcends space and time! The Everlasting is His name! 
The express image of The Holy is revealed, He is known of His own! His glory shines from the east even unto the west, The Sh’khinah of The Father’s only Son! 
WONDERFUL is His name! WONDERFUL are His ways! He wears TRUTH as a garment, and GLORY is His vesture, and LOVE is His crowning glory! All life proceeds from Him; He holds all things together by the Word of His power!

 
His way is from everlasting, 
And with His mouth He testifies 
To the Truth, always!

Therefore, let us testify also; 
The Father and The Son are One! ONE!... 
 
YAHUSHUA-YAHUWAH! 

==Glad Service==
 
A right heart brings forth glad service, 
And a joyful giver reaps what he sows; 
Life in abundance shall be his reward.

Yet the heart of the wicked seeks his own way; 
And he too shall reap according 
To that which he has sown, 
Welcoming death when it comes. 

==Building the Gallows==
 
Vanity is a rope, and pride builds the gallows; 
Envy leads to hate, and jealousy 
Brings forth evil thoughts.

Therefore, beware of the thoughts of your heart, 
Lest you follow in Haman’s error[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Esther%207&version=NKJV] 
And walk in the way of Cain,[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=++1+John+3%3A12%3B+Genesis+4%3A8&version=NKJV] 
To your own demise, says The Lord. 

==Walking Together in The Father’s Joy==
 
Blessed is the man who gives out of the abundance of his heart. For one such as this gives, knowing in his heart that all he has is Mine and all I have is his, given and received according to the knowledge of My will for those who believe. For this man knows what it is to be My servant. He is bound by nothing, a man who walks free in all the earth, blessing the name of The Lord his God with enduring trust. 
Therefore those who give out of obligation know not the joy of The Lord, nor of the freedom which comes by service, helping others in My name.

 
Yet the servant whose heart leaps with joy 
At the thought of washing the feet of the poor, 
Who also eagerly seeks out the afflicted, 
To give them comfort, knows that whatsoever 
They do for another they have also done for Me.

For these know Me, and I live in them.

And together we shall walk, 
Choosing the good and refusing the evil, 
Until we walk together anew in My kingdom... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==Reconciliation in Marriage==
 
An unyielding heart sows discord in marriage, 
And stubbornness shuts the door to reconciliation.

Yet the one who is first to say, 
“I’m sorry” is wise, defusing any argument; 
And the one who is quick to forgive 
Heals the breach. 

==Surrender==
 
The unbroken remain proud, 
And fools speak assertions 
Without knowledge; they are bound.

Yet the one who holds their tongue is wise, 
And the one who surrenders all 
Shall gain The Victory. 

==Ears to Hear==
 
A willing, humble heart is open to Me, and one who is deeply in love with Me will hear My voice. Yet this is not equal, nor shall every servant hear My voice in the same way. 
Hear and understand: I have spoken to My prophets throughout the generations (for I change not), and each was given that which was required to accomplish My will among the people. Therefore rejoice, My sons and daughters, for The Most High has come down to you! And behold, I have caused My servants to hear, to receive wisdom by the power of My own spirit!

 
Lo, by the Word of My mouth
shall My beloved be blessed, 
The prideful humbled and the haughty abased.

For the Word of The Lord never returns void... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==A Waving Banner==
 
To the unbeliever, My Word, no matter its color or brilliance, shall be as gray clouds on a dark and dreary day. And to those pricked in their hearts, it shall be to them as an after image which ceases not from before their eyes, as a flash of lightning remains in the eyes of the one who beheld it even after they have shut their eyes to it.

 
Yet to the believer My words are cause 
For celebration, a time to stop and pay attention, 
For the mouth of The Living God has spoken!

Both the color and brilliance they recognize, 
For their eyes are wide open.

For them, The Source and The Author is clear, 
For they see with the heart and not with the mind... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==Believing without Seeing==
 
Look not outwardly for that which can only be discerned from within, and search not in the world for that which is not of this world, for I have already come... I dwell within the hearts of men! And My spirit testifies on My behalf!

 
Therefore, let the hungry come to Me and eat! 
Let the thirsty rush to My side and drink!

And let those who seek Me turn not their heads; 
Let them be still and listen for My voice... 
 
Says The Lord, Your Life. 

==Freedom==
 
Demand nothing of Me, 
And I shall give you everything.

Demand everything of yourself, and I will 
Take it from you, and you shall be set free... 
 
Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==Treading Water==
 
The servant who doubts is like a man who is tossed about on the waves of the sea. He is useless, spending all of his time trying to stay afloat, consumed with keeping his head above water.

 
Yet the man whose trust does not waver 
Fears not the boisterous winds, 
Nor do the billowing waves trouble him.

For he takes My hand, and together We shall walk, upon the water... 
 
Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==Bearing Fruit in Due Season==
 
Though men speak evil of you and others depart before the time, while still others question your sanity, I tell you, My words shall bear much fruit in due season. Yet the wicked will not understand, and the lukewarm will forsake them, and the worldly will seek to bind them and place them in a corner.

 
Yet those who are wise will understand, 
And in them shall a flame arise, 
In them shall My words be written; 
Behold, they shall bear fruit 
In accordance with My likeness!

For they were bound to Me from 
The beginning, and did not waver... 
 
Says The Lord your Redeemer. 

==The Devoted Servant==
 
What is the least thing done in service toward Me, Compared with that which My servant 
Wishes to do most for himself? 

Yet the servant who is truly devoted 
To Me puts no difference between them; 
In his eyes they are one and the same; 
In his heart the former fulfills the latter. 

For have I not said, “A right heart brings forth glad service”?... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==Impaired Vision==
 
I saw a star fall from Heaven, while the sons of men laughed. For they have no vision, neither are they able to see beyond that which is in front of them. And even this they deny, for they love deception and the truth is not at all convenient.

 
Yet the sons of God hold their tongues, 
And open not their mouths.

As tears run down their faces, 
They look upon creation with new eyes 
And restored vision, embracing The Promise, 
Abiding in The Hope of Salvation... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==The Holy Flame==
 
Hear and seek to understand: The Word of God is fire, each word a burning flame in the midst of an immense fire. The countenance of The Lord is a fire, and a flame within a fire. The glory of The Lord is perfect, a pure light, a flame within a flame, a fire engulfing all creation! 
YAHUWAH is One, and His name, One; His name is in Him and is Him. YAHUWAH is His name, and His name is One with Him. They are not separate, but one, even as The Father and The Son are One - a flame within a flame, within an immense fire. 
YAHUWAH has no beginning and no end, even as His name. Therefore nothing is outside YAHUWAH, for His being is infinite. And those who pass outside creation enter into His eternal glory, or are burned up in His devouring fire, in His everlasting flame. 
Therefore no one may come to The Father except through The Son, YAHUSHUA, The Purifying Flame. For only The Holy Flame may dwell within The Fire, for YAH is holy. And all those void of The Flame will consume away; they shall cease to exist. For ALL must pass through the fire, ALL are subject to the power of The Flame - the wicked purged, and the penitent purified. 

==More==
 
I have seen the sun rise upon the mountains of Israel, I have seen the light of the moon illuminate the valleys of Judah, I have even seen the stars fall from the heavens! Yet never have I seen a wonder such as this, never have I beheld such a wondrous thing! 
I have seen a brilliant light, a perfect likeness! Behold, I have stepped into the fire! Yet instead of burning, I received understanding; and in place of my wounds, I received healing in this flame! 
What a wondrous and beautiful place! Such overwhelming, pure love in the light of His glory, consuming me where I stand, strengthening me as I fall down, my tears flowing as my life departs from me! Yet I do not die. Rather the presence of The Lord of Hosts rises up in me! 
Is this Heaven? Yes! It is The Kingdom! For before me is the likeness of a Man, bright and shining! He is beckoning me! I see the holes in His hands and in His feet, as I am pulled toward His open arms!

 
I am losing myself, 
Yet I feel as though I am being born! 
I was dead, and now I am alive again, 
The man I was passing away as His life rushes in!

And what more can I say? 
What more shall I ask of Him?...

Only this: MORE! 

==The Selfless Servant==
 
The selfless servant shall be filled and put to use in all the earth, dwelling always in the inner courts of My love, where grace and truth flow as a river which never runs dry, partaking of My glory, bearing fruit in kind. For he who dwells in the secret place of The Most High abides in the shadow of The Almighty, and from this servant nothing is withheld. 
Lo, within him are written The Commandments of God, and engraven upon his heart is the name of love and pure righteousness. In his mind’s eye he sees the holy sacrifice, the salvation of many. With his lips he sings the song of The Lamb, and with his mouth he testifies to the glory of The Lord, without ceasing.
 
For great is YAHUWAH his God, and holy is The One who is poured out! For the mouths of the pure in heart are open, and He shall surely fill them up, even as a welcomed rain in the height of summer, says The Lord.

==Made Whole==
 
This is wisdom: I AM HE!

And this is understanding: 
I abide forever! All healing is in Me!

Therefore everyone who comes to Me is made whole, 
And everyone who lives in Me shall abide forever... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==Eternal Fire==
 
The Lord our God has kindled a fire; 
His heart is set ablaze over His beloved! 
 
Thus all who willingly pass through 
The Flame shall be purified, 
Refined and restored in the image 
In which He created them.

Yet the wicked shall never be established; 
Their places shall be removed, 
Burned up, utterly consumed!

For The Lord our God is a consuming fire, 
The Purifying Flame! 

==The Sower and The Reaper==
 
Such troubled children, always divided. None have learned to walk, not one truly knows Me. Yea, darkness is overhead, and many have fallen back to sleep. In the height of summer they withered, under the heat of the noonday sun they became faint and fell down. And now the time of the harvest is here, relief is very near, yet who opens their eyes to look upon Me?

 
Who stands up and bears their burden gladly?...

That all might eat and rejoice in their labors, 
That all might rejoice and give thanks together 
For the bounty which I have provided...

Looking to the day when the plowman overtakes the reaper, 
And the treader of grapes Him who sows seed...[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=%23Amos+9%3A13+&version=NKJV] 
 
Says The Lord. 

==The Salvation Day==
 
The Salvation Day of Men is four-fold:

It was ordained before the foundation 
Of the world, fulfilled at My birth, 
Finished at My death on the cross, 
And solidified eternally upon My resurrection... 
 
Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==The Truth Endures Forever==
 
The power of a lie is only as strong as those who believe it; 
Yet The Truth will set you free.

All lies are born of the evil one and shall perish; 
Yet The Truth endures forever. 

==Anathema==
 
Thus says The Lord: As it is written, My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge! And because they have rejected knowledge, I must also reject them![https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Hosea+4%3A6&version=NKJV]... In all their forsaking of Me are they taken away! On account of their pride they reject Me, and in their arrogance do they hold fast to their own way, treading the wide path! Therefore are the walls of Jerusalem broken down! Thus is the vineyard of The Lord tread down! Behold, the vats overflow, every vessel is tipped, all new wine evaporates in the fire! And still, My people are not saved! 

==The Redeemer==
 
Behold, I had come, 
The Son who was completely blameless, 
To bear the guilt of all The Father’s children...

The Just for the unjust; 
The Innocent for the guilty; 
The Son of Man for the sons of men... 
 
Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==Letting Go==
 
Here is wisdom:

For one to depart this world 
They must first depart in spirit, 
Willingly forsaking their life in this world, 
Fully embracing Mine...

Coming to Me free, 
Without any form of malice 
In their heart toward another...

Then shall they be taken, says The Lord. 

==True Fellowship==
 
True fellowship comes not by words 
Spoken amongst a group of united people.

Rather it starts with the heart, 
And is found in the stillness of My spirit, 
Where My peace mends the broken 
And My gentle caress gladdens the heart.

For all those found at the feet of The Lord 
Are covered with grace, 
And those who abide in My love 
Are indeed of one accord... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==Walk Humbly with Your God==
 
Hear and understand: The moment pride enters a man, and the moment he stands in front of Me to look elsewhere, is the same moment My hand is removed. For I have shown you, My servants, what is good and that which I require: That you should do justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with your God.[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Micah+6%3A8&version=NKJV]

 
Yet how can one behold My face while 
Looking elsewhere, seeking glory for themselves?

And how can one who has stepped 
In front of Me walk in My footsteps?

Beloved, how shall one who runs away from Me, 
To tread another path, take My hand?... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==Faith==
 
When My servant no longer seeks to see with his eyes, nor hear with his ears, the fulfillment of those things written, then he will know his faith is near to completion, says The Lord. For one who must see with his eyes lacks trust, and one who has itching ears lacks understanding.

 
Yet the servant who truly believes is no longer Bound by the need for confirmation; 
He seeks not after signs, nor does 
He sit idle waiting for the news.

For his trust is complete, his understanding full, 
And he is at peace, walking in the ways of The Lord. 

==Walking Free==
 
One who bears their own burdens 
Must also bear the heat of the day.

Yet one who lets go, cutting every cord that 
Binds them to this world, walks free, 
And shall be given eagle’s wings... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==Antidote==
 
Judging another man’s servant poisons the heart 
And corrupts every good intention.

Yet judging one’s own judgment, 
Taking every thought captive, 
Renders this poison neutral and of no effect... 
Righteous discernment according to 
That which the Spirit reveals, says The Lord. 

==Idle Hands==
 
Idle hands lack bread, and an idle heart lacks trust; 
Their backs are bent down always, their countenances fallen, 
Their eyelids have grown very heavy.

Yet love strengthens the spirit, and washing another’s feet 
Is good for the soul, renewing the whole of the body... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==I Remain Always==
 
I remain always The Good Teacher, 
Who continually reminds His students 
Of that which He has taught them 
Before they lose sight of The Goal.

I remain also The Faithful Shepherd, 
Who calls to His sheep before they 
Have wandered too far...

The Wise and Loving Father, 
Who makes the sins of His beloved 
Known early, while they are still able 
To step easily off the crooked path... 
 
Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==Elect and Precious==
 
You are more than the filth that covers you, 
More than the sin that fills you, 
Much more than the choices you make; 
For I see your beauty, I know your heart 
And the love which you have for Me. 

Behold, I know you as you are and will be, with Me where I am. 

You are not that which you choose in a moment of weakness; 
You are that which I have created, and will become 
That which I restore, and will remain always 
A beautiful, finished work, elect and precious, 
My everlasting treasure, even as I shall be yours also. 

For I know My own, says The Lord. 

==Grace AND The Moral Law==
 
Hear and understand: Salvation can in no wise depart from you, once received.[https://www.thevolumesoftruth.com/Salvation_Is_Given_and_Must_Be_Received;_Once_Received,_Forever_Shall_It_Belong_to_the_Redeemed] Therefore, seek to please The Father AND keep The Law. 
For how can one who walks in Me by grace also walk in that which had condemned them? Shall My people reach toward Heaven with their hands, while their feet continue to tread the wide path which leads to destruction? And how shall one who loves Me take My hand and walk beside Me, with one foot on the good ground and the other in the grave? 
Therefore knowledge must increase, and sin decrease, to enter The Kingdom of Heaven. For one who is under grace bears fruit of the same; and The One who kept The Law of The Father revealed that grace by works.

 
So then, Grace is first and everlasting.

Then comes works, the first works done in faith, 
Even the first fruits bore in your lives...

Which is to love The Father and one another, 
By keeping The Law, says The Lord. 

==A Desirable Union==
 
Thus says The Lord to those who seek Him: Do you abide in Me? Have you received of that which I offer? For until one has stilled their heart and quieted the thoughts of their mind, they shall by no means hear that which the Spirit speaks. How then shall they walk in My will, if they are unable to discern? 
Yet everyone who looks for Me, with all their heart and with all their soul, shall surely find Me! And everyone who seeks My will, in all trust, shall know it! And in the secret place of My presence shall we break bread together, set apart from the many plots of the evil one, away from the noise of this world.

 
For this is where quiet understanding abounds 
And the will of The Lord is made plain...

Where the broken receive peace and every 
Sin is absolved in My healing embrace; 
Where the heart of every son rests 
Securely in the hands of his Father, 
And where the hearts of My daughters are 
Restored and shine anew in My likeness...

A desirable union, fulfilling every desire 
Of the heart in My love, says The Lord. 

==Consider My Love==
 
Behold My hands and My feet, and consider My love; 
For the scars of My passion remain, 
A holy, everlasting covenant 
Written in the blood of The Lamb.

Taste and see, beloved, drink! 
Until that which is veiled is veiled no longer, 
Until the void within your heart is filled.

For My love was written in every stripe I endured for you, 
Poured out in every drop of blood I shed for you, 
Revealed when you pierced My hands and My feet.

Beloved, I am married unto you!...

A union sealed forever in the blood we share... 
 
Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==A Man of God==
 
A man of God is humble and quiet 
Until called upon to speak, 
A man of low degree who treads softly 
Until called upon to act...

A lowly man who is completely in love with Me, 
Who does not his own will nor seek his own way...

A man who waits upon The Lord, 
And hesitates not when the command 
Comes down from the mouth of The Lord his God...

A man after My own heart, My servant, My friend... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==The Reward==
 
He who trusts in The Lord shall receive healing wings and soar high above the storm! At the call of The Most High, he shall ascend the heights of the heavens with The Lord beside him! Yea, Beauty shall be his dwelling place, and in the sanctuary of God’s mercy shall he worship He who sits on the throne! In one accord and with one spirit shall all praise The God of Jacob, sharing in the depths of Mashiach, as love flows from one heart to another! For YAHUWAH is God alone, He who laid the foundations of the earth, The One who is and was and is to come, The Almighty! YAHUSHUA-YAHUWAH!

 
Blessed, therefore, are all those who escape!

For they have called upon the name 
Of The Lord, in sincerity and in truth, 
And have given up everything to follow Him.

Indeed, they have received their reward. 

==Love Has Saved Them==
 
Those who were full shall be left empty, 
So they may be truly filled up, and those 
Who were thought of as first shall be last.

Yet those who were forsaken as last 
Shall be first partakers of The Glory. 
 
And those without knowledge shall be given 
Great knowledge, for Love has saved them.

Yet those who had attained great knowledge 
Shall be brought down to shame, so they too 
May be glorified in My presence, 
For Love has saved them... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==Offering a Gift==
 
A gift demanded is no gift at all; 
And anyone forced to receive a gift 
Never truly receives it.

Thus when offering a gift, 
One does not demand its acceptance, 
Lest the gift be polluted and a division occur, 
Causing both to depart offended... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==Accepting The Gift==
 
What is life without love? 
And what is love without the 
Free will to choose love?

I tell you the truth, 
A gift commanded is no gift at all!

Yet a gift accepted is where you 
Shall find life, love and salvation... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==Who Do You Serve?==
 
No servant is greater than his master...

How he serves others shows the master he serves; 
How he serves his master reveals the master within him; 
And what the master suffers will his servant suffer also, 
For he serves in his name. 
 
No one can serve two masters...

Either he will hate the one and love the other, 
Or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%206%3A24&version=NKJV]... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==Embracing the Call of The Lord==
 
There is no greater love than to lay down your life for another, and blessed is the one who embraces the calling of The Lord wholeheartedly. For a servant such as this lays down his life each day, bearing his cross after Me. Upon waking he kneels down at the feet of The Lord, with an open heart and open hands. And in this servant My soul delights. 
For the servants of The Most High uphold My cause. And as My love is poured out, it fills the hearts of the penitent, even as My stern correction and harsh discipline comes swiftly upon the defiant. For My ways are not human ways. For I do what is right by My children, doing that which is most needful for each one, that they may come to Me in their due season. I AM THE LORD. 

==Blowing The Trumpet==
 
My servants, to warn your brothers and sisters, 
Even to your neighbors and countrymen, 
Whether they will hear or whether 
They will forbear, is LOVE.

For only an evil man would fail to warn his fellows, 
When he had knowledge of coming calamity.

And only a wicked man meet for death would save himself, 
While forsaking those nearby to the sword... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==A Pillar of Strength==
 
My forgiveness runs far and wide, entering deep into the hearts of those who come to Me in sincere repentance. Yet many of My sheep believe themselves to be above reproach, and in this do they greatly err. Therefore let all My beloved grow wise in Me, and learn also to walk in My ways. For I am a pillar of strength to those of low degree! I uphold the powerless and steady the weary, as I renew the hearts of My elect!

 
Behold, I fill all those who come to Me empty with 
Spirit and grace, as they walk with Me into everlasting life! 
Indeed, they shall experience life in abundance, forevermore!...

Life of such a kind, which is only found in Me and I am... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==Without Condition==
 
Learn the lesson of obedience in The Lord.

For obedience is far greater than 
Witnessing a prophecy come to pass, 
And much greater than receiving healing 
By a miracle, for obedience is born of love.

For those who have no trust seek after signs, 
And those who remain in unbelief wait for miracles.

Yet only those who love Me, without condition, 
Will remain faithful, and only those who truly 
Know Me will endure in times of trouble... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==Rejoicing Over My Sons and Daughters==
 
My glory is revealed in the lives of all My children, no matter what path they had chosen, no matter how they have tread. I know My own, and I know when each will come to Me and how each shall come to walk in Me. And by this I am glorified, even as each shall also share in My glory. 
For to one, it is as the son who remained faithful to his father, and never lost his inheritance, but kept it close his whole life. Yet to the other, it is as the prodigal son[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke+15%3A11-32&version=NKJV] who went out and wasted his inheritance in the world, yet was met with much rejoicing when he returned home. For the one who was faithful remained in his father’s love, and was rejoiced over his whole life; and the other returned to his father’s love, and was met with much rejoicing. Yet both shall dwell in the house of their Father together, from that day onward, sharing equally in all he had laid up in store for them, forever. 

Thus by one I am glorified in their walk, 
And by another in their return. 
 
I AM THE LORD. 

==Pure Love==
 
The love of man is born from the desires of the flesh and comes forth from a place of longing, to fill a void which remains empty; affections built upon conditions and unrealistic expectations, learned in a world without natural affection - corrupt. 
Yet My love is a light which shines in a dark place, warmth which brings peace and healing to those whose hearts have grown cold; a cup overflowing, never-ending, affection in its purest form - unconditional.

Therefore come to Me, beloved, that our hearts may be satisfied! For all those who sincerely long for Me shall surely receive of Me, and all those who obey My voice shall surely walk beside Me, and all those who love Me, above all else, shall know the depths of My Mercy. For I shall take them, and they shall dwell with Me, where I am, in The Kingdom of My joy, forever... Says The Lord. 

==Trust in The Holy One==
 
The presence of The Almighty is a consuming fire, a purifying flame. The cloud of The Almighty is a covering for all who put their trust in Him. The Sanctuary of His peace is in His Holy One, and none shall fear who abide in Him. And though the terror of The Lord comes upon all nations, it shall not approach the penitent, nor shall the trembling of the humble continue without comfort. For The Lord God has a Holy One, and in Him is the loving mercy of God revealed. In His bosom are healing tears and laughter, joy beyond compare, the fullness of love, life without end.

 
Behold, The Lord has come down to look upon 
The rage of the nations, to search the hearts of men... 

The Mighty One has come down to gather His own, 
To take from among them the penitent, 
Everyone of a contrite heart and humble spirit... 
Those who do justly and love mercy, 
Whose eyes long to look upon their King... 
Those whose hands reach out for His healing touch, 
Whose fingers know His wounds, 
Whose lips have tasted of the divine gift, 
Drinking from His cup, always. 

==Choose Me==
 
Behold, The Gift is given already!

Therefore, all those who come to Me, who love Me 
With all their heart, with all their mind, with all their soul 
And with all their strength, shall be blessed indeed!

For is it not written: 
"Wisdom is justified by her children"?[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke+7%3A35&version=NKJV]

Therefore, here is wisdom: CHOOSE ME!... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==Trust in Me==
 
I am The First! Behold, I am also The Last!

Blessed therefore are all those who bow down before Me; 
For in them shall the vision be made complete 
And The Word established, even as it was 
At the first and shall also be at the last.

Trust in Me therefore, for I AM HE!... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==Breaking Through the Barriers==
 
Thus says The Lord: When tears well up, let them burst forth as a flood overflowing the dam; let them break through the barriers! 
Yet understand this: Let not your tears turn to anger when shed over hurt, nor let resentment come forth, lest you strengthen the dam and build up the barriers, leading to rebellion against The Lord as you hold unforgiveness in your heart. Beloved, let your tears flow when the Spirit convicts you! Let them cleanse your eyes so you may see, as your heart is set free! And no more resist the cleansing of The Lord. 

==Whose Robes Do You Wear?==
 
Pay attention to the robes you wear, 
And those which you seek to put on.

Rather be willing to come to The Lord naked, 
That He may clothe you with that 
Which He has prepared for you. 

==Treat Everyday as The Sabbath==
 
Why do you depart from the Sabbath at sundown 
And return to the ways of the world, welcoming in again 
That which you shut the door to on the Sabbath?

Rather treat everyday as the Sabbath, and you will do well... 
 
Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==The Sound of My Love==
 
I have laid My heart open before your eyes, 
And into your ears I have spoken.

As a harpist playing soft music, beautiful music, 
Plucking each string with delicate fingers, 
I revealed the song of My heart to you.

With precise strokes, in gentle tones of healing, 
With many notes of unending love 
And by soothing vibrations of peace, 
Did the sound of My love speak.

And I, even I, The Lord of Hosts, did not withhold from you... 
 
Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==Eternity with The Lord==
 
Who are these I have made? And what man have I brought forth from the dust of the earth, that I might share My glory with him? There are none worthy; not one formed from the dust of the earth who knows Me; not one who is righteous, no, not one. All lie down in death, all return to the dust of the earth. 
Yet I came down to you in the image in which I formed you, so you might receive of Me and have life, that you might share in My wisdom and find healing, great peace in My love... Exchanging your life for Mine... 
That you might roam free in My creation, close to Me, at My side always, until your first days are called ancient and your latter days laughter... Years beyond number... 
Thousands of years passing as the setting of the sun, millions of days passing by as a breeze caressing the face of the forever young... Each one remembered as yesterday, says The Lord YahuShua. 

==Drink Deeply from This Vine==
 
My children, seek My glory and look to My Righteousness, for The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand! Look into My eyes, open your ears to My voice, for the mouth of The Lord has spoken! Return to the first works; it is time to be consumed in your First Love!

 
Beloved, see the Word of The Lord, 
Drink deeply from this vine!

Consider My Mercy and the name of Love, 
That you may know Me as I truly am, 
That we may be one!

Consider, for it is time, says The Lord. 

==A Sure Way==
 
My words are pure, 
A solid foundation beneath the feet 
Of My beloved, a sure way for all who believe.

My words are a strong staff in the hand 
Of all those who do them, and all who place 
Their trust in Me will never falter... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==Envy==
 
Envy is a double-ended sword. One end is covetousness, piercing the heart of those who envy; the other is pride, piercing the heart of those being envied. Behold, envy is also a snare. For those who envy are held captive by covetousness, and those who are envied are easily ensnared by pride.

 
Therefore repent, and place 
All your trust in The Messiah.

Make Him your focus, 
Your only desire, and He will keep 
Your foot from being taken.

Indeed, He will preserve your life. 

==The Feasts of The Lord==
 
In these Seven is wisdom and understanding, the very mind of God. For the Holy Days are revelation, revealing hidden things kept secret since the world began - signposts of things to come, a foretaste of The Kingdom, a glimpse into the Glory of God even as the Scriptures, unfolding and coming to light as the will of God is manifest, says The Lord.

 
Behold, four are fulfilled: 
Salvation assured, sin and death overcome, the Spirit given. 
 
Three are coming quickly: 
Sin destroyed, evil bound, My seat taken, Judgment... 
 
A new day, even one thousand years... 
 
Then a short season, Consummation... 
 
An everlasting day in The Lord! 

==Beyond Question==
 
The Lord is eternal; HE IS! He never ends! His love, His mercy, His justice, His majesty, His glory, His sorrow, all that He is endures forever! 
Likewise His creation has no end, no boundaries! There are no limits to contain it, for it is as He is! HE IS THE CREATOR! - Everlasting, eternal, The Alpha and Omega, The Beginning and The End, The First and The Last by whom all things exist and have their being, through whom all living things have life! 
Kiss The Son, therefore! Bow down heavily and give Him glory! Let the knowledge of who He is fill your heart with wonder and awe, with great reverence and worship! Give Him thanks and praise! For Holy is The Lord God Almighty, His ways past finding out! For who can understand the knowledge of The Lord contained within creation, or know the depths of His wisdom?! Yet His Glory surrounds us on every side, testifying to His majesty beyond question! Indeed, we are without excuse!

 
Behold, even the whole of creation shouts, 
“YAHUSHUA is YAHUWAH!”

For it is He by whom all things consist, 
It is He who causes to be! 
For The Lord our God is One! 

==The Song of The Lamb==
 
Eat of Me, partake of My words, and be filled! Breathe Me in, that the song of The Lamb may dwell within you! For it is the knowledge of My love, the revelation of who I truly am! - A song, a chorus, soon to be a symphony, a great outpouring of revelation to the praise of My glory!

 
Beloved, it is also the music we share, 
Sweet melodies of grace and peace 
Playing softly within your heart, 
Each string plucked gently and surely...

The sound of My love revealed 
In you and through you...

My spirit, My breath, 
My life given and received, 
Bearing much fruit in The Beloved... 
 
Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==A Sure Foundation==
 
Old houses stand upon old foundations, 
And new houses upon new foundations; 
A new house cannot be built atop another, 
Nor does one build a new house 
Upon an old foundation.

No, the old house must be torn down 
And the old foundation removed, 
Making room for the new foundation 
To be poured, that the new house 
May rest securely upon it... 
 

Behold the house! 
A house with a sure foundation, a house able 
To withstand even the strongest of storms... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==Integrity==
 
Obedience is more than trust, 
And trust much more than obedience.

For obedience by itself 
Bears bitter fruit in the end, 
And trust left alone becomes a lie... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==Remembering the Ascension, Looking to the Blessed Hope==
 
That which was bitter shall be made sweet, and that which brought tears of sadness shall be turned to great rejoicing. For indeed The Bridegroom was taken from them, and has been a long time in coming. Yet those who have waited with all eagerness shall have their hope realized, and those who watched with steadfast trust shall not be put to shame; neither shall those who have fallen asleep be disappointed.

 
For the Bride shall have her heart’s desire, 
And My prophets their due reward.

For all those who belong to Me have tasted, 
And behold, My prophets have surely seen... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==The Justice of God==
 
The justice of God rests atop the mountain, and comes forth with a great noise! The retribution of The Lord rains down upon the mountains and gathers strength! It rushes down the steep places, catching many unawares! It gathers together and rages through the valleys, leaping over the banks, breaking down the walls, destroying every barrier! A terrible deluge! 
Behold, the trees are fallen and torn from their places, their branches broken and mangled, their roots laid bare! Unrecognizable!

 
Thus is the wrath of God, 
Thus is the Day of The Lord’s Anger:

Destruction in a moment, a tearing down, 
A wiping away, a great threshing, 
A carrying away of all that offends!...

Until all that is hidden is exposed, 
And that which is high and lofty 
Is brought low...

Until every fruitful hill is made barren, 
And every lush valley is stripped 
And bares neither leaf nor fruit…

Darkness, thick clouds and darkness...

The shadow of death. 

==Providence==
 
My people are a strange and peculiar people. Indeed, they are accounted by the multitude as those who are of unsound mind. Yet My servants are men of action, men with strong trust, men of clout in The Lord; men who are unwavering in My purpose who also care for those given them, willing to go wheresoever I send them, unafraid to do whatever is needful. 
Yet the plight of the slothful shall be filled with troubles, as the sun sets upon their need. For in their listlessness they were unaware and did not seek after My will, to know it, nor have they risen up to walk in that which I have spoken already. Thus providence is drawn back, until the sluggard has no place. 
Have I not spoken to these things already, in many Letters? Have I not revealed My will and that in which I am most pleased, by My many words? And still My people draw back from My voice and My servants sit idle and fold the hands, closing their eyes to their need while forsaking those placed under their care, both those near to them and those afar off, says The Lord. 

==The True Church==
 
I am The Church - Its walls, its pews, 
Its pulpit, its altar, its very foundation.

When sitting in My church, you can behold Heaven; 
There is no ceiling to keep you from enlightenment.

And if I am your sanctuary, your four walls of faith, 
Your resting place of worship, The Word and the Spirit, 
The Stone upon which all must be broken, 
The Very Cornerstone of Life, 
Then Heaven is open before the eyes of all 
Who dwell in Me and become My body... 
 
Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==Charity==
 
Comfort the sick, lift up the downtrodden, and visit those in prison; clothe the naked, shelter the homeless, and above all feed the hungry; do so in My name. For in Me shall all find comfort, exaltation, companionship, warm coverings and sanctuary from the storm; even food and drink for their soul shall they receive in Me. For all these things are the very definition and purpose of love.

 
Thus as I am, so also were you created...

Understand Love.

For in My love were you created, 
To receive and to give; 
And in the giving does one also receive.

Therefore, love one another 
As I have loved you, 
Says The Lord your Redeemer. 

==Without Hesitation==
 
Blessed are My servants who seek to 
Obey My commands without hesitation, 
For their trust is apparent; 
Blessed are those who seek to please Me, 
For in them am I well pleased.

For no man can step forward without trust, 
And one who is void of belief is 
Consumed by doubt and fear. 
And I have already told you that pride blinds 
The eyes and arrogance stops the ears.

Therefore let My servants step 
Forward without hesitation, and ask, 
That their blessing may be compounded 
And their belief increased!... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==Steadfast Faith==
 
Blessed is the wise and faithful servant, 
Who gives no thought to how they are 
Perceived in the eyes of others.

For they obey My voice, 
And are not dismayed by the looks 
Of those who judge without knowledge.

Indeed, they seek only to please their Master, 
Having no need of the approval of others... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==Perseverance==
 
There can be no birth apart from travail, 
For birth is always accompanied 
By much travail.

Yet oh how blessed are those 
Who persevere with their hearts 
Fixed upon the goal, enduring the pain, 
For they shall surely receive their reward... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==One Body==
 
This is the way of The Lord...

That one in need in My body 
Be supported by their brothers and sisters, 
With all members becoming one...

One body, in Me...

That he who is able to walk in Me 
Dwell alongside those who are weak, 
For they are in need of strengthening...

Lo, you shall all wash each other’s feet!...

Even as I do likewise 
Through you and amongst you, 
To the praise of My glory... 
 
Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==Devotion==
 
Of My servants I require obedience, with all trust, 
Pure service in The Lord...

An eager servant willing to obey without hesitation, 
Even when they lack understanding; 
A humble servant who remains in My love, 
A disciple who has breathed Me in...

A devoted son or daughter who loves Me more than these... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==Unrestrained==
 
Consider this, says The Lord; ponder it and also receive it: By good works you will not find Me, yet good works are found in Me. And by My works shall you begin to know Me, for My works shall be done in you.
Yet understand this also: Where human power is, pride follows close behind. Yet one who surrenders to The Lord will be given eagle’s wings. Yea nothing shall be impossible for them, for I shall be with them and in them, says The Lord.
In that day, wheresoever I am will My servants be also, and wheresoever I go My servants will follow. And whatsoever I decree will be done in an instant, and those who are chosen will go for Me without hesitation, and that which I speak in this place will be heard in another. And no more shall My servants be restrained, by any means! Declares The Lord. For it is I, The King of Glory, who has spoken it. 

==Blurred Vision==
 
One who answers a matter in the name of The Lord, while being ignorant or unsure, is foolish. And one who judges a matter without knowledge leans upon pride, wearing pretense as a garment. 
Thus the one who steps in front of Me shall surely stumble, and the one who seats himself upon My throne shall be cast down. For pride does indeed come before the fall, and those who judge without knowledge shall be made to sit upon the ground. I AM THE LORD. 

==Responsibility==
 
One who does not take responsibility 
For their wrong-doings can by 
No means place them at My feet; 
And until one faces their hurts, 
By no means can I heal them.

For the placing of blame turns the shoulder, 
And reluctancy hinders the heart.

Yet perfect love casts out fear, 
And the one who truly knows Me trusts 
In My ways and embraces My correction... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==The Broken and the Proud==
 
The broken sinner who repents, I know. Yet the prideful man who considers himself righteous, I do not know. Indeed, he shall be found a liar in the Day of Reckoning. For there is none righteous, no not one, save The Son of Man only. 
Therefore I ask you, shall the broken sinner be justified in his need, in his fervent desire? He shall indeed be justified in My sight! For I shall clothe him with righteousness and cover him with grace. In his times of weakness My strength shall sustain him, and in My love shall he be made whole. Behold, by My life is he healed! 
Yet the proud resist Me, and the arrogant want no part with Me as I truly am. For they have clothed themselves with the glory of men, a quickly fading flower. Their comfort is in their riches, and their solace is in their accomplishments, which shall leave them soiled and bruised in the day of their calamity, says The Lord.
 

==The Love of The Truth==
 
Truth is self-evident in the eyes 
Of all those who love The Truth.

Indeed, it resounds within the ears of all those 
Who have received of The Truth, 
In whom My spirit dwells... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==Uncovered==

 
Truth is evident in My eyes, and a lie is never hidden. Therefore, let no one place their unrighteous cause upon the backs of the children, when a wrong is accounted only to the one who performed it. Neither let the disobedience of the one be covered over by the needs of the many. For I have seen it; lo, all is known to Me. 
Therefore let My people be tested, let them be refined in the fire, that the quality of their trust and the endurance of their belief may be revealed, says The Holy One of Israel. 

==The Holy Place==
 
Beloved, there is a language of which 
You know nothing about, says The Lord... 

A language which is pure and beautiful, 
A language in need of no words at all; 
A language which you shall soon come to know, 
A language which I have revealed 
To My servant already... 

A language of overwhelming love, pure and undefiled, 
Bringing forth much understanding; 
A language of power and great glory, 
In which all My servants shall come to stand... 

The unspoken Word of God received in the presence 
Of The Almighty, The Holiest of Holies, 
Revealing the essence of who I am... 

Union in The Spirit of God... 

A place beyond time and space, beyond the knowledge 
Contained within creation, surpassing all boundaries, 
A place even angels long to know... 

The place where I am and have always been seated, 
Where you shall be also... 

A place without time, The Eternal, 
The Bosom of The Father[https://www.thevolumesoftruth.com/In_The_Bosom_of_The_Father], of which I AM... 

Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==A Return to the Garden==
 
Thus says The Lord: Behold, The Morning Star is risen, the universe is filled with His glory! And that glory shall abide with men, even in them and among them. I shall be a Father unto them, and they shall be My beloved children, forever! Lo, a return to innocence, paradise lost is paradise found, a return to the garden, the universe your playground.

 
Thus as I have spoken, so shall it be done:

The mystery of God revealed, 
The counting of days no more...

Forever young in the presence 
Of your Shepherd, your Redeemer, 
Your Father, your Brother, 
Your Most Beloved Friend, 
The Fulfillment of all things 
For which your hearts have groaned...

I AM THE MEANING OF LIFE!...

And all who live in Me, and I in them, 
WILL LIVE FOREVER! 

==Reformation==
 
Why does the heathen rage and shake his fist toward Heaven? Behold, he shall fall with none to catch him, and great shall be his fall! Yet the one who reaches for Me shall be lifted up, and the one who extends the hand shall know My dwelling place.

 
For as it is written:

Whoever has, to him more will be given, 
And he shall have an abundance...

But whoever does not have, 
Even what he has shall be taken away,[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+13%3A12&version=NKJV] 
Until the Time of Reformation is complete... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==The Kingdom==
 
The Kingdom of God is a garden...

Set apart from the many schemes of the adversary, 
A place of rest free of briers and thorns...

A Sabbath...

A holy place which shall never pass away, 
Where no one lies down in death, 
Nor shall any be made to slumber...

My people shall never be covered over again, 
For the old order of things has passed away! 
Behold, all things have become new!... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==The Word of Truth==
 
My Word is truth! And that which requires understanding shall be given to those of a contrite heart and a humble spirit. For those who love Me obey My Commandments, and those who remember My Sabbaths honor Me and shall know Wisdom. Therefore consider these things carefully.

 
For I have indeed prepared
a place for those who seek Me, 
For those who long to know Me as I truly am...

A place for all those accepted in The Beloved, 
In whom My spirit dwells...

The Kingdom without end... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==Faith Without Works Is Dead==
 
Let all those who truly know Me 
Proclaim My name first by their ways, 
Then with their mouths...

For honor only spoken of is but wind, 
The veil of the hypocrite who knows not 
Where he is going, having no remorse 
Over where he has been... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==Faith AND Works==
 
What is faith without works? 
Nothing, a lie spoken in vain. 
 
And what of works without faith? 
Vanity, a false good covering a heart 
Which has turned from The Truth... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==Just==
 
The justice of God is beyond question, 
Standing forever in its permanency, 
Unwavering for all time... 
 
Righteous. 

==God Is Sovereign==
 
God is sovereign, His judgment stands.

Therefore, let the penitent be rewarded equally 
To their forgiveness, which is equal.

And let all evil unrepented be punished in accordance 
With evil’s deeds, the final penalty of which 
Has remained equal even to this day.

The Lord does not change. 

==Intentions==
 
Where there are righteous works, there are also those 
Who seek to spoil them for the sake of pride and envy. 
And where there is pure knowledge, there are also 
Those who defile it among women. 

Yet the ignorance of the meek is no cause for offense, 
Nor shall the error of the humble bring forth rebuke. 

For I know the heart and look upon the innermost intentions... 

Says The Lord.

==Forgive==
 
Blessed are those who do not return 
Evil for evil, or reviling for reviling, 
But rather pray for their enemies.

Blessed are those who hold no ill-will 
In their heart toward another.

Indeed, blessed are all those who 
Forgive everyone who has sinned against them.

For great shall be their reward in Heaven... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==A Heavy Stone==
 
Those who refuse My correction are foolish, 
And must walk through dry places.

And those who refuse to repent have 
Secured their place in the valley of death.

For the pride of man is a heavy stone, 
Which increases by weight each day 
It remains unbroken... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==Insolent Cords==
 
Insolent cords bind the proud, 
And rebellion is a rope by which 
The foolish hang themselves... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==The Word of God==
 
The Lord your God is a consuming fire, My every word a purifying flame! The presence of The Lord is an oppressive storm, which abases the proud and causes the high-minded to flee! And that which I have spoken to this generation, is it not a sword with which I shall strike to the heart of this people?! For I shall surely set all these crooked paths straight, and burn away the dross!

 
Yet for those who trust in Me and in whom My spirit dwells, 
My words are like a strong tower set in the midst of battle, 
Which can in no wise be broken down!... 

A great trumpet blowing upon the hill outside the city, 
Which echoes throughout the waste places! 
A waving banner for this generation, a bright light, 
A beacon, shining in the midst of this present darkness!... 

A rod of justice for the oppressed and the persecuted, 
A loosening of the chains placed upon My people, 
The breaking apart of every shackle!... 

Freedom for those who love Me, 
Deliverance for those who understand, 
Strength for the weak, grace to the humble, 
Manna to nourish the penitent... 

Says The Lord. 

==My Witnesses and My Word==
 
Thus says The Lord: My words shall be as fire in the mouths of My witnesses, singeing the ears of every hearer! My words shall carry the full weight of My spirit and be very heavy!

 
Behold, I shall cause My words to have weight and power!...

Weight as a man feels when struggling against the power of the sea, 
The waves pushing him backward, toppling him, throwing him down, 
Until he has no more breath left in him...

As the wind knocked out of a man 
When he has been struck hard upon the chest, 
Leaving him in stunned silence, unable to speak, 
For all his thoughts have departed from him...

FOR I SHALL CAUSE MY STRENGTH TO DWELL 
IN MY WORDS LIKE THE ROARING OF THE SEA! 

==Pride==
 
Only those who know they are sick 
Seek out The Physician.

Yet those who perceive themselves as well 
Will in no wise come to Me, keeping Me at bay; 
They remain seated firmly in the darkness 
Of their own understanding, 
Resting upon their laurels by which 
They have highly esteemed themselves... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==Stained Glass==
 
One who peers through stained glass can not behold 
His own image, nor is he able to see those inside clearly; 
For he sees only an outline, a blur of color obscuring his vision. 

And those on the inside who peer outward remain blinded, 
Able to perceive only a shadow of what truly is, 
Holding up the hand against the brightness, 
For fear of the noonday sun which is about to come in. 

Thus they prefer the light filtered and the brilliance masked, 
By means of all this painted glass. 

What then shall a people such as this do when night has fallen?... 

Says The Lord. 

==The Humble, Penitent Man==
 
It is the humble, penitent man 
Who gives Me glory in all his ways; 
For he seeks to honor Me, 
To please Me above all else.

He wants no part in the ways of this world, 
Neither does he seek glory for himself; 
By his actions he shines forth, 
Seeking glory for The One alone who is God.

Thus the man who places Me foremost, 
In all things, shall also be first 
When The Glory comes... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==The King Eternal==
 
Behold, the footsteps of The Lord shake the earth! The footsteps of The Lord shall tread the winepress of the wrath of His fury! The presence of The Lord shall break apart the tall mountains; His power shall bring down every mountain, every high place shall be brought low! For the presence of The Lord is strong and mighty, and the anger of The Lord is hot and burns in the heat of His jealousy! Who can turn back The Lord’s anger, once it is kindled? Who can prevent The Most High from performing His will?! Whose glory is like The Lord’s?! 
Who comes as The King above all kings wearing the raiment of God, whose majesty is beyond compare?! Who is able to stand in the day of His wrath, or survive the power of His sword which proceeds from His mouth, the day He strikes through the heart of all people and lays His enemies waste, the day every adversary is consumed in the brightness of His coming?! For He is mighty in battle and His justice is swift, His victory absolute! 

 
Who is The King of Glory?!

YahuShua HaMashiach, HE is The King of Glory! 
His power is infinite, His love never-ending!

HE is The King Everlasting, 
The King of Righteousness!

His grace is shed abroad to 
Every contrite and humble spirit; 
His forgiveness is pure, ever-flowing 
Into the hearts of the penitent, 
Restoring them to righteousness and life!

Yes, He is The One and Only King Eternal! 
There is no other, there is none like Him! 

==In Union With The Messiah==
 
Beloved, there is a day coming when you shall enter My presence and never leave it, a day when you shall behold My face, says The Lord. And wheresoever your heart leads you, there will I be also, with you always where you are. Whether you journey to the heights of the mountains, or to the farthest reaches of creation, there I am, with you where you are. Beloved, all creation is Mine, and all I have is yours. For you are Mine, even as I am yours also... Together, forever. 

For the glory you have seen, and that which you have imagined, has until now been measured in a human way. Yet the glory of The Lord is of such a kind! Glory which has always been, glory with no beginning and no end, having neither height, nor depth, nor length, nor width. For My glory is life and that love we share, a gift of understanding which comes by knowledge of The Holy; glory which can not yet be fully realized, nor are there words sufficient to open your understanding... Fulfillment, which only comes by union. 

==My Love Endures Forever==
 
Long after the glory of men has passed away, with the height 
Of their kingdoms turned to dust, My love endures! 

Long after the stars you behold in the heavens 
Have ceased from shining, My love endures! 

Deeper and wider than space and time, My love endures! 

Even before creation, My love endures; and after, My love remains. 

For I shall be your God, and you shall be My people, 
As long as My love endures... 

Says The Lord. 

==I AM GOD==
 
I am He who formed the earth and all you see in the heavens, He who set the foundations and called creation forth by the Word of His power and the vastness of His knowledge, causing all things to be! 
I made the matrix, and set all things in order; I am He who formed it! I know all the hidden parts; even the most minute detail, by which all things are made, is known to Me! Behold, I see the inward parts; from the innermost depths to that which can not be seen by man, all is known to Me! 
Before Me is the whole of creation at all times! No distance is far from Me, no measure is too great for Me, and no weight is too heavy. That which is beyond your comprehension is known to Me each morning, and every evening I behold the whole of creation and consider. For I am The Lord. YAHUWAH is My name. 

==The Volumes of Truth==
 
Thus says The Lord: Beloved, this Word, even every Volume to every Letter, is the Word of My glory, which I have put forth once again - A testament of My love and sacrifice, the announcement of My coming, a proclamation of truth, revelation of who I really am! The Trumpet Call of God, so all those called and chosen may hear and come to Me in their proper time and season. 
Behold, it is also a strong correction for all those who have taken to themselves MY name and MY Word, to pollute it, a plumb line for this wicked generation! For this Word is a waving banner, an ensign to all nations! - A trumpet of alarm and war, the sound of recompense and judgment, which shall soon fall upon every nation!

 
For I AM WHO I AM! 
The Only Begotten of The Father! 
The One True God and Savior! 
The Mashiach!...

YAHUSHUA-YAHUWAH! 

==Keep Watch==
 
Thus declares The Lord: All your setting of dates shall come to nothing, and all your precise predictions shall fail, for I may take them before or after. For I am God. 
Behold, the first election is made, the time of bundling passed. Thick clouds have risen in the west, the hard rains have come, and who in all the earth is able to prevent it as it draws near, or hinder it when it arrives? Lo, a mighty wind blows in the east, yet who is aware of it until it has overtaken them? 
Therefore keep watch, for you know not the time of The Lord’s coming. Whether it be in the first, or in the second, or in the third watch of the night, you know not the time of His return. You know not the day or the hour, says The Lord. 

==AWAKEN==
 
The mountains tremble and the hills quiver, the oxen grumble in their stalls and the lambs leap about in their places. FOR I AM COME. 
Do you hear the sound of My heart pounding within My chest, the thunder rumbling as the storm approaches? Look how the lightning flashes upon the southern skies, see how the clouds roil on the western horizon. Behold, the northern lands are anxious, the isles of the east are unsettled and the deserts burn with hatred. FOR I AM COME. 
Behold, the trumpet is blown in the four corners, the warning broadcast in all the earth, and still you sleep! AWAKEN! I AM COME! Says The Lord.

==Introduction==
 WORDS TO LIVE BY... 
 
More Words of Wisdom 
From The Lord, Our God and Savior 
 
For all those who have dedicated 
Themselves to Me by means of The Truth, 
Those who have recognized My words 
And also do them... 
 
Those who came to Me empty 
That I might fill them up, 
That they might be truly dedicated to Me... 
 
Even as I had dedicated Myself to them also, 
That we may become one... 
 
Set apart in My glory, for My glory, 
To the joy of their Father in Heaven... 
 Says The Lord YahuShua.
 
Behold, My words shall never pass away. For as I am, so also is My Word. For it proceeds from Me, being manifest by He Who Is True, also being called The Word... Living... Always feeding His flock The Word, which is written for their nourishment, which is to be received through that part of Himself which is also in Me, says The Lord God. ~ [From “[[The Word of My Mouth]]” ~ [[Volume 7]]]
 
It is written: 
 
“Man shall not live by bread alone, 
But by every word that proceeds 
From the mouth of God.” 
 
[Matthew 4:4] 

==Come, Love Awaits You==
 
Come, all those who know not My ways; I will show you.

Come, all those who have been abandoned; 
I will comfort you and give you shelter.

Come, all those who are crippled; 
Let us run and leap for joy together!

Come, all those faithless; 
I shall fill your cup, and watch how it overflows!

Come, all murderers; 
Watch Me raise you, and all who sleep, from the grave.

Come, all you who blaspheme, I will give you a new voice; 
Bring with you all those who are blind and deaf, 
For they too shall see and hear!

Indeed, come all those who have sinned against Me, take My hand! 
I will lead you to the waters where I shall wash you, 
And where your new clothes hang upon the tree 
Which grows next to the stream.

Come one, come all! Ask, and it shall be given you! 
For all things are possible with God 
And made manifest through The Son... 
 
Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==Crowning Glory==
 
The love of God is His crowning glory...

And that love is revealed in the glory of The Son, 
By which His beloved are also crowned. 

==The Spirit of Truth Brings Conviction==
 
This question was asked of The Lord, regarding [https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke+15%3A11-32&version=NKJV Luke 15:11-32:] Lord, have I become hard like the older son? Have I put my hand to tasks, and forgotten to build up compassion for those who have gone astray? Is this story meant to convict me, Lord? 
 

[The Lord answered]

If your heart is convicted, 
Then has it not also given answer 
To your prayer already, 
Revealing the Spirit which dwells 
Within you, of what sort it is?

For only the Spirit of Truth will bring forth 
Conviction unto righteousness, 
Bearing much fruit in The Beloved... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==The First Stitch==
 
The first stitch, to mend any rent, 
Are the words “I’m sorry”... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==YAHUWAH Is One; And His Word, One‎‎==
 
The Old Testament is The Father revealing Himself, while pointing to The Son. The New Testament is The Son revealing Himself while pointing to The Father, also fulfilling the Messianic prophecies of the Old Testament in Himself. The Letters<ref>“The Letters” refers to The Volumes of Truth</ref> are The Father and The Son revealing themselves as One, even as the Word of God is one, with The Letters being the culmination of the whole - not separate, but one.

 
Therefore, to reject any part of 
The Lord’s Word is to reject the whole.

The three books are one...

One on-going testament to God’s glory. 
<references/>

==Removing The Veil‎‎==
 
Thus says The Lord: Those who receive of Me begin to see with eyes wide open, with the deafness of their ears healing quickly. 
Yet those who have not received rely upon the spirit of men to discern, and stumble greatly; rejecting My Word spoken to this generation, while at the same time polluting My Word from aforetime; firmly securing the veil which remains atop their heads, covering their faces in an attempt to hide their shame. 
 

Therefore, I have spoken it and shall 
Say it again before this perverse 
And most wicked generation, 
Though they can in no wise bear to hear it...

I AM COME![https://www.thevolumesoftruth.com/I_AM_COME]THE TIME IS HERE!

And behold I, The Lord your God, 
Will do nothing until I have revealed 
My plans to My servants, the prophets, 
And this I have done. 

==Serving Others in Love‎‎==
 
Beloved, by serving others in love, 
Putting their needs before your own...

By sacrificing yourself, 
Your desires, your wants, your will, 
Your body, even your very life...

Will you learn what it truly means 
To wash each other’s feet, 
Says The Lord. 

==Prayers of the Sincere in Heart==
 
Prayer request: Please pray that pride won’t become an issue for me, because I just wanna walk with YahuShua only. 
 

[The Lord answered]

In your request is wisdom; 
For those of a sincere heart, 
Whose prayer is to flee from pride, 
Have received of their request 
Already in the asking...

Whereby they have also begun 
To build up a hedge about themselves, 
Because of their intent... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==Touching the Heart of God==
 
The hard of heart have no knowledge; 
Even all revelation is hidden from their eyes.

Yet one who shares in My cup, 
Weeping heavily upon My chest, 
Has touched the heart of God.

For sincere tears open the door to My fullness, 
Yet a hard heart is a locked door... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==Matters of the Heart==
 
The wailing of the penitent 
Brings forth healing; 
Yet the words of the wicked 
Cause only pain. 
 
Love flows outward from 
The hearts of the righteous; 
Yet the love of the wicked 
Grows cold, as hate enters in. 

==What Is Pure?==
 
Giving thanks to God 
In My name is pure worship, 
Yet the wicked man 
Demands honor for himself.

The heart of a child is pure, 
Yet the heart of the mature is corrupt... 
 
Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==The Spirit of Unity==
 
The spirit of unity is in Me, walking in My footsteps, doing unto others as you would have them do unto you; remembering that all you do to others, whether good or bad, you have done also to Me. 
Have I not spoken to this already, in the Gospel of My servant, John? For I said to love one another, and to wash each other’s feet, and that you can do nothing apart from Me. 
 

Therefore be one in Me, 
Even as I long to be one with you, 
Even as The Father and I are One, 
That our love may be made perfect in One...

You in Me, I in you, 
To the joy of The Father... 
 
Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==A Wise Guide==
 
One who endeavors to teach My flock, 
Using the Word of My own mouth, 
Must grow very wise in the hearing 
And must be wide awake in the Spirit...

Discerning, says The Lord. 

==The True Jew==
 
This question was asked: What is the definition of a true Jew? 
 
[The Lord answered] The definition of a true Jew is this: YahuShua. Therefore, all those in whom I dwell are Jews indeed. For they are true, even as I am true... Let none, therefore, bring even one railing accusation against MY olive tree! Says The Lord. 

==Finishing the Race==
 
It is the man who endures through the pain, 
And perseveres through every obstacle, 
Who finishes the race.

Yet the man who surrenders all to The Lord 
Will fly with eagle’s wings. 

==Dual Paths==
 
Let those who do wickedly 
Walk in the way they have chosen, 
Until their foot becomes ensnared.

And let those who are Mine seek 
Righteousness apart from the wicked, 
Until they are lifted up, 
High upon healing wings!... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==Leading Others in Righteousness==
 
Can any man lead while wielding a whip?

Yet The Lord is above all. 

==Grace to the Humble==
 
Behold, The Lord raises His voice 
Within the hearts of the elect! 
Yet His silence bears witness 
Against those who refuse to hear. 
 
Pride is a veil held fast 
Over the heads of the arrogant; 
It shall cover them in the day of darkness. 
Yet the way of the elect is a crown of glory, 
And grace covers them. 

==I Know My Own==
 
Those who are Mine receive of Me. For I know My own, and they seek Me; My bride is chosen. Yet those who reject Me and My Word have not known Me, nor will they receive; My spirit is far removed. 
Those who set themselves apart from Me, whether by word or deed or by pretense, their hearts are revealed; these shall be left to walk through very dry places. Yet those who seek Me in truth shall be drawn in quickly, whether they are near or far, for I know My own. And those who are married unto Me shall surely enter in. 
Therefore, judge no more by human standards, discern by right standards, according to My love and the knowledge you have received in Me. 
 

For I AM THE LORD, whose will is set 
And can in no wise be turned back; 
Even from the beginning, 
It was decided and accomplished.

For I AM...

And My bride has always been 
Predestined in The Beloved, 
Says The Lord. 

==Strength in Weakness==
 
A man’s strength is revealed 
In confronting his greatest weakness, 
Yet a man’s greatest strength 
Becomes his enemy 
When pride enters in.

Yet My strength is made perfect 
In My servant’s weakness... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==Stop Lying to Your Children==
 
(Regarding Santa, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy and the like)

No lie is of the Truth. Yet the little ones are of The Truth, and remain with Me and in Me. Even now I call to them, for My lambs know My voice. And that which came from Me must soon return to Me.Therefore, be separate from the ways of this world, and order your conduct according to The Word of Truth. And no more speak lies to your children, for this is sin. 
 

Rather feed them with The Bread 
Which came down from Heaven, 
The Bread which I am, 
The Way, The Truth, The Life; 
For this alone is pleasing to God.

Anything to the contrary 
Is of the world and the evil one, 
No matter its disguise... 
 
Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==All I Have Is Yours...==
 
For in knowing Me you possess all things... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==The Only Fountain of Knowledge==
 
That which is revealed to one may not yet be revealed to another. And those who have seen, have seen, yet most have only understood dimly. Therefore trust is required, and comes before understanding, for understanding can only come from Me. For I am The Only Fountain, The Only Knowledge in which is life. 
Beloved, when one loses sight of Me or turns away, understanding darkens. Yet one who keeps Me in front of them, coming to Me at all times and in every season, in them understanding brightens and they will have peace. For they abide in Me, and rest in the knowing that all things are held within My understanding, and are given and received according to the good pleasure of My will.

 
And indeed, this is sufficient for them. 
For they had first sought after 
The Kingdom of God and His righteousness, 
By which much revelation was added to them, 
According to the Spirit which I have 
Poured out for them... 
 
Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==Mature Faith==
 
Blessed are those who answer, “Yes, Lord,” 
For their faith is revealed.

Blessed are those who pray, “Your will be done, Lord,” 
For they have great trust.

Blessed are those who say, “Amen, Lord,” 
At all times and in every season, 
For they have understood.

Blessed are those who know, I AM WHO I AM; 
They shall have peace... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==Blessed Is The Name of The Lord==
 
By My name is your heart sealed; 
For in My name is the Spirit given, 
The Spirit which also testifies of My name.

By My name are you established in life, 
As a bride prepared for her husband.

Therefore, everyone who refuses 
To take My name shall not see life, 
For there is but One Way into life...

I am The Way, says The Lord YahuShua. 

==Sabbath Peace==
 
On the Sabbath, 
Let no unclean thing come from your mouth; 
Let only praise and beauty come forth.

Let My grace be your covering, 
Let gentleness and humility be your companion.

And soon you will wear a crown of glory 
Atop your head,
says The Lord YahuShua. 

==Two Robes==
 
Can one wear two robes without constraint? Or can one place one robe over another, and it not tear? Is it wise to put on one robe, while wearing another already? And shall one attempt to wear a robe of white, to conceal a soiled one beneath? Will they not both become unclean?

 
Therefore, take off the one 
Which is soiled and cast it away! 
That the other may be worn properly 
And without constraint...

Lest it tear, revealing your shame... 
 
Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==Healing by Faith==
 
Faith is believing I AM WHO I AM, and that I am able to perform it. Faith can by no means be attained, nor can one grab hold of it by human means.

For there are works done without faith, which are dead; and a faith which has works, which is also dead. Yet your faith came by My works, which enabled you to believe I AM WHO I AM. And all good works, which come forth from you, are My works also. 
Therefore if one is to be healed in accordance with My will, that same one must surrender to Me and My will, making no effort to increase their faith by human power as a means to a desired end.

 
Rather they acquiesce...

Knowing that all things will be done 
In their proper time and season, 
According to the love 
Of their Father in Heaven...

Doubting nothing...
 
Says The Lord. 

==Revelation Is Greater Than Knowledge==
 
While praying about those who have discounted The Lord’s words in The Volumes of Truth, those who think they have attained such great knowledge, The Lord spoke and said...

 
The knowledge they possess is earthly, 
But I am Heavenly!

What they have received is from below, 
But I am from above!

All they know is passing away, 
Yet I abide forever!

They dwell in the darkness, even now, 
And remain void of understanding, 
Yet I AM HE who dwells 
In the unapproachable light!... 
 
Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==The Companion of Fools==
 
Unrighteous jealousy is the companion of fools.

For those who envy also grab hold of jealousy, 
Walking hand in hand with covetousness. 

==Deliverance==
 
Blessed are those who run to Me, 
For they shall be blessed in My presence.

Even more blessed are those 
Who run to Me, then obey My Word, 
For their blessing is complete 
And they are at peace...

Deliverance they shall surely know, says The Lord. 

==Trust, Obey and Love==
 
Trust with abandonment, 
Obey without expectation, 
And love without condition.

For in this shall you truly know Me, 
With your faith progressing 
Quickly toward perfection... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==Who You Are==
 
Who you are at home reveals 
The person you remain.

Therefore, do not be as the hypocrite 
Who has two faces, for I see all your doings, 
I know your heart.

For by a man’s actions is his heart revealed, 
And by his mouth is he defined before others... 
 
Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==Who You Choose==
 
Here is wisdom:

Who you choose, not what 
You choose, is the answer; 
For who you choose defines what you do.

And whosoever chooses another, 
And not Me in truth, has chosen themselves, 
And has done according to their own will... 
 
Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==Embracing The Gift==
 
The Holy Days are the 
Stepping stones to Heaven...

In understanding their meaning shall you 
Progress quickly along the path I have laid...

And when I have fulfilled them to the last 
The journey shall be complete, 
For those who have accepted and received... 
 
Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==Notoriety==
 
Notoriety is a stumbling block at the 
Feet of the prideful, and fame puffs up; 
Pride goes before a fall, and fame is short-lived; 
Lo, a famous man is honored 
More in his death than in his life.

Yet what does it profit? 
For the meek shall inherit the earth. 

==Forbidden Fruit==
 
If the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil, 
Then pride is the tree and notoriety its branches; 
Death shall be the reward 
Of all those who eat from it...

Yea darkness is reserved for all those 
Who take shelter in its shade. 

==Evident==
 
If wisdom is justified by her children, 
Then the folly of fools is evident 
And the way of the wicked is death.

Yet the humility of the meek shall hide them 
In the Day of The Lord’s Anger. 

==The Meek and the Foolish==
 
The wise are quiet and know when to speak, 
And the humble are barely noticed.

Yet the prideful announce themselves as with a trumpet, 
And the plight of the slothful is made plain by their complaint. 

==Walking in The Word==
 
Rejoice in the wisdom of The Lord, 
And find joy in His correction.

For only those who have received 
Of the Spirit of Truth are able to see, 
And only those who love The Truth 
Are able to hear.

Yet only those who embrace 
The Messiah fully, who also write 
His words upon their hearts, will do them; 
And peace, the kind of which only The Lord 
Can give, shall be their companion. 

==Narrow Is The Way==

 
Very narrow is the way, yet look how easily a little child passes through... 
Men and women of this world, you stand too tall, your girth is too wide. Lose this height therefore and bow down, for you are puffed up; as fatted cattle you have become meet for the slaughter. Therefore, refuse all this rotten food fed to the masses, and eat no more from the filthy plates served in the churches of men. Rather partake of the food I give you, and be satisfied. For I tell you the truth, until you decrease in the world’s eyes, and are humbled in your own, you shall by no means pass through. For the first harvest shall be lowly, of the lowly, says The Lord. 

==Due Reward==
 
The high man stands proud, and the man of low degree is tread down! The eyes of The Lord have seen it, the ears of The Lord have heard it! Therefore shall the error of the proud be exposed, and the look of the lofty be brought low! For the span of My holy mountain is great, filling the breadth of the whole earth; the weight of the stone, infinite! And woe to those who are crushed beneath it! Says The Lord of Hosts.

 
Yet the man of low degree shall arise, 
And the humble sleeper shall awake from his slumber.

They together shall inherit the land, 
They together shall live in the top of The Mountain!

And the broken shall receive healing atop The Stone... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==Wonderful==
 
The power of The Lord is without end! His love covers His creation like a blanket, and the light of His glory reaches beyond the stars of heaven! His majesty is beyond comprehension; it transcends space and time! The Everlasting is His name! 
The express image of The Holy is revealed, He is known of His own! His glory shines from the east even unto the west, The Sh’khinah of The Father’s only Son! 
WONDERFUL is His name! WONDERFUL are His ways! He wears TRUTH as a garment, and GLORY is His vesture, and LOVE is His crowning glory! All life proceeds from Him; He holds all things together by the Word of His power!

 
His way is from everlasting, 
And with His mouth He testifies 
To the Truth, always!

Therefore, let us testify also; 
The Father and The Son are One! ONE!... 
 
YAHUSHUA-YAHUWAH! 

==Glad Service==
 
A right heart brings forth glad service, 
And a joyful giver reaps what he sows; 
Life in abundance shall be his reward.

Yet the heart of the wicked seeks his own way; 
And he too shall reap according 
To that which he has sown, 
Welcoming death when it comes. 

==Building the Gallows==
 
Vanity is a rope, and pride builds the gallows; 
Envy leads to hate, and jealousy 
Brings forth evil thoughts.

Therefore, beware of the thoughts of your heart, 
Lest you follow in Haman’s error[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Esther%207&version=NKJV] 
And walk in the way of Cain,[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=++1+John+3%3A12%3B+Genesis+4%3A8&version=NKJV] 
To your own demise, says The Lord. 

==Walking Together in The Father’s Joy==
 
Blessed is the man who gives out of the abundance of his heart. For one such as this gives, knowing in his heart that all he has is Mine and all I have is his, given and received according to the knowledge of My will for those who believe. For this man knows what it is to be My servant. He is bound by nothing, a man who walks free in all the earth, blessing the name of The Lord his God with enduring trust. 
Therefore those who give out of obligation know not the joy of The Lord, nor of the freedom which comes by service, helping others in My name.

 
Yet the servant whose heart leaps with joy 
At the thought of washing the feet of the poor, 
Who also eagerly seeks out the afflicted, 
To give them comfort, knows that whatsoever 
They do for another they have also done for Me.

For these know Me, and I live in them.

And together we shall walk, 
Choosing the good and refusing the evil, 
Until we walk together anew in My kingdom... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==Reconciliation in Marriage==
 
An unyielding heart sows discord in marriage, 
And stubbornness shuts the door to reconciliation.

Yet the one who is first to say, 
“I’m sorry” is wise, defusing any argument; 
And the one who is quick to forgive 
Heals the breach. 

==Surrender==
 
The unbroken remain proud, 
And fools speak assertions 
Without knowledge; they are bound.

Yet the one who holds their tongue is wise, 
And the one who surrenders all 
Shall gain The Victory. 

==Ears to Hear==
 
A willing, humble heart is open to Me, and one who is deeply in love with Me will hear My voice. Yet this is not equal, nor shall every servant hear My voice in the same way. 
Hear and understand: I have spoken to My prophets throughout the generations (for I change not), and each was given that which was required to accomplish My will among the people. Therefore rejoice, My sons and daughters, for The Most High has come down to you! And behold, I have caused My servants to hear, to receive wisdom by the power of My own spirit!

 
Lo, by the Word of My mouth
shall My beloved be blessed, 
The prideful humbled and the haughty abased.

For the Word of The Lord never returns void... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==A Waving Banner==
 
To the unbeliever, My Word, no matter its color or brilliance, shall be as gray clouds on a dark and dreary day. And to those pricked in their hearts, it shall be to them as an after image which ceases not from before their eyes, as a flash of lightning remains in the eyes of the one who beheld it even after they have shut their eyes to it.

 
Yet to the believer My words are cause 
For celebration, a time to stop and pay attention, 
For the mouth of The Living God has spoken!

Both the color and brilliance they recognize, 
For their eyes are wide open.

For them, The Source and The Author is clear, 
For they see with the heart and not with the mind... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==Believing without Seeing==
 
Look not outwardly for that which can only be discerned from within, and search not in the world for that which is not of this world, for I have already come... I dwell within the hearts of men! And My spirit testifies on My behalf!

 
Therefore, let the hungry come to Me and eat! 
Let the thirsty rush to My side and drink!

And let those who seek Me turn not their heads; 
Let them be still and listen for My voice... 
 
Says The Lord, Your Life. 

==Freedom==
 
Demand nothing of Me, 
And I shall give you everything.

Demand everything of yourself, and I will 
Take it from you, and you shall be set free... 
 
Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==Treading Water==
 
The servant who doubts is like a man who is tossed about on the waves of the sea. He is useless, spending all of his time trying to stay afloat, consumed with keeping his head above water.

 
Yet the man whose trust does not waver 
Fears not the boisterous winds, 
Nor do the billowing waves trouble him.

For he takes My hand, and together We shall walk, upon the water... 
 
Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==Bearing Fruit in Due Season==
 
Though men speak evil of you and others depart before the time, while still others question your sanity, I tell you, My words shall bear much fruit in due season. Yet the wicked will not understand, and the lukewarm will forsake them, and the worldly will seek to bind them and place them in a corner.

 
Yet those who are wise will understand, 
And in them shall a flame arise, 
In them shall My words be written; 
Behold, they shall bear fruit 
In accordance with My likeness!

For they were bound to Me from 
The beginning, and did not waver... 
 
Says The Lord your Redeemer. 

==The Devoted Servant==
 
What is the least thing done in service toward Me, Compared with that which My servant 
Wishes to do most for himself? 

Yet the servant who is truly devoted 
To Me puts no difference between them; 
In his eyes they are one and the same; 
In his heart the former fulfills the latter. 

For have I not said, “A right heart brings forth glad service”?... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==Impaired Vision==
 
I saw a star fall from Heaven, while the sons of men laughed. For they have no vision, neither are they able to see beyond that which is in front of them. And even this they deny, for they love deception and the truth is not at all convenient.

 
Yet the sons of God hold their tongues, 
And open not their mouths.

As tears run down their faces, 
They look upon creation with new eyes 
And restored vision, embracing The Promise, 
Abiding in The Hope of Salvation... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==The Holy Flame==
 
Hear and seek to understand: The Word of God is fire, each word a burning flame in the midst of an immense fire. The countenance of The Lord is a fire, and a flame within a fire. The glory of The Lord is perfect, a pure light, a flame within a flame, a fire engulfing all creation! 
YAHUWAH is One, and His name, One; His name is in Him and is Him. YAHUWAH is His name, and His name is One with Him. They are not separate, but one, even as The Father and The Son are One - a flame within a flame, within an immense fire. 
YAHUWAH has no beginning and no end, even as His name. Therefore nothing is outside YAHUWAH, for His being is infinite. And those who pass outside creation enter into His eternal glory, or are burned up in His devouring fire, in His everlasting flame. 
Therefore no one may come to The Father except through The Son, YAHUSHUA, The Purifying Flame. For only The Holy Flame may dwell within The Fire, for YAH is holy. And all those void of The Flame will consume away; they shall cease to exist. For ALL must pass through the fire, ALL are subject to the power of The Flame - the wicked purged, and the penitent purified. 

==More==
 
I have seen the sun rise upon the mountains of Israel, I have seen the light of the moon illuminate the valleys of Judah, I have even seen the stars fall from the heavens! Yet never have I seen a wonder such as this, never have I beheld such a wondrous thing! 
I have seen a brilliant light, a perfect likeness! Behold, I have stepped into the fire! Yet instead of burning, I received understanding; and in place of my wounds, I received healing in this flame! 
What a wondrous and beautiful place! Such overwhelming, pure love in the light of His glory, consuming me where I stand, strengthening me as I fall down, my tears flowing as my life departs from me! Yet I do not die. Rather the presence of The Lord of Hosts rises up in me! 
Is this Heaven? Yes! It is The Kingdom! For before me is the likeness of a Man, bright and shining! He is beckoning me! I see the holes in His hands and in His feet, as I am pulled toward His open arms!

 
I am losing myself, 
Yet I feel as though I am being born! 
I was dead, and now I am alive again, 
The man I was passing away as His life rushes in!

And what more can I say? 
What more shall I ask of Him?...

Only this: MORE! 

==The Selfless Servant==
 
The selfless servant shall be filled and put to use in all the earth, dwelling always in the inner courts of My love, where grace and truth flow as a river which never runs dry, partaking of My glory, bearing fruit in kind. For he who dwells in the secret place of The Most High abides in the shadow of The Almighty, and from this servant nothing is withheld. 
Lo, within him are written The Commandments of God, and engraven upon his heart is the name of love and pure righteousness. In his mind’s eye he sees the holy sacrifice, the salvation of many. With his lips he sings the song of The Lamb, and with his mouth he testifies to the glory of The Lord, without ceasing.
 
For great is YAHUWAH his God, and holy is The One who is poured out! For the mouths of the pure in heart are open, and He shall surely fill them up, even as a welcomed rain in the height of summer, says The Lord.

==Made Whole==
 
This is wisdom: I AM HE!

And this is understanding: 
I abide forever! All healing is in Me!

Therefore everyone who comes to Me is made whole, 
And everyone who lives in Me shall abide forever... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==Eternal Fire==
 
The Lord our God has kindled a fire; 
His heart is set ablaze over His beloved! 
 
Thus all who willingly pass through 
The Flame shall be purified, 
Refined and restored in the image 
In which He created them.

Yet the wicked shall never be established; 
Their places shall be removed, 
Burned up, utterly consumed!

For The Lord our God is a consuming fire, 
The Purifying Flame! 

==The Sower and The Reaper==
 
Such troubled children, always divided. None have learned to walk, not one truly knows Me. Yea, darkness is overhead, and many have fallen back to sleep. In the height of summer they withered, under the heat of the noonday sun they became faint and fell down. And now the time of the harvest is here, relief is very near, yet who opens their eyes to look upon Me?

 
Who stands up and bears their burden gladly?...

That all might eat and rejoice in their labors, 
That all might rejoice and give thanks together 
For the bounty which I have provided...

Looking to the day when the plowman overtakes the reaper, 
And the treader of grapes Him who sows seed...[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=%23Amos+9%3A13+&version=NKJV] 
 
Says The Lord. 

==The Salvation Day==
 
The Salvation Day of Men is four-fold:

It was ordained before the foundation 
Of the world, fulfilled at My birth, 
Finished at My death on the cross, 
And solidified eternally upon My resurrection... 
 
Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==The Truth Endures Forever==
 
The power of a lie is only as strong as those who believe it; 
Yet The Truth will set you free.

All lies are born of the evil one and shall perish; 
Yet The Truth endures forever. 

==Anathema==
 
Thus says The Lord: As it is written, My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge! And because they have rejected knowledge, I must also reject them![https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Hosea+4%3A6&version=NKJV]... In all their forsaking of Me are they taken away! On account of their pride they reject Me, and in their arrogance do they hold fast to their own way, treading the wide path! Therefore are the walls of Jerusalem broken down! Thus is the vineyard of The Lord tread down! Behold, the vats overflow, every vessel is tipped, all new wine evaporates in the fire! And still, My people are not saved! 

==The Redeemer==
 
Behold, I had come, 
The Son who was completely blameless, 
To bear the guilt of all The Father’s children...

The Just for the unjust; 
The Innocent for the guilty; 
The Son of Man for the sons of men... 
 
Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==Letting Go==
 
Here is wisdom:

For one to depart this world 
They must first depart in spirit, 
Willingly forsaking their life in this world, 
Fully embracing Mine...

Coming to Me free, 
Without any form of malice 
In their heart toward another...

Then shall they be taken, says The Lord. 

==True Fellowship==
 
True fellowship comes not by words 
Spoken amongst a group of united people.

Rather it starts with the heart, 
And is found in the stillness of My spirit, 
Where My peace mends the broken 
And My gentle caress gladdens the heart.

For all those found at the feet of The Lord 
Are covered with grace, 
And those who abide in My love 
Are indeed of one accord... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==Walk Humbly with Your God==
 
Hear and understand: The moment pride enters a man, and the moment he stands in front of Me to look elsewhere, is the same moment My hand is removed. For I have shown you, My servants, what is good and that which I require: That you should do justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with your God.[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Micah+6%3A8&version=NKJV]

 
Yet how can one behold My face while 
Looking elsewhere, seeking glory for themselves?

And how can one who has stepped 
In front of Me walk in My footsteps?

Beloved, how shall one who runs away from Me, 
To tread another path, take My hand?... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==Faith==
 
When My servant no longer seeks to see with his eyes, nor hear with his ears, the fulfillment of those things written, then he will know his faith is near to completion, says The Lord. For one who must see with his eyes lacks trust, and one who has itching ears lacks understanding.

 
Yet the servant who truly believes is no longer Bound by the need for confirmation; 
He seeks not after signs, nor does 
He sit idle waiting for the news.

For his trust is complete, his understanding full, 
And he is at peace, walking in the ways of The Lord. 

==Walking Free==
 
One who bears their own burdens 
Must also bear the heat of the day.

Yet one who lets go, cutting every cord that 
Binds them to this world, walks free, 
And shall be given eagle’s wings... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==Antidote==
 
Judging another man’s servant poisons the heart 
And corrupts every good intention.

Yet judging one’s own judgment, 
Taking every thought captive, 
Renders this poison neutral and of no effect... 
Righteous discernment according to 
That which the Spirit reveals, says The Lord. 

==Idle Hands==
 
Idle hands lack bread, and an idle heart lacks trust; 
Their backs are bent down always, their countenances fallen, 
Their eyelids have grown very heavy.

Yet love strengthens the spirit, and washing another’s feet 
Is good for the soul, renewing the whole of the body... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==I Remain Always==
 
I remain always The Good Teacher, 
Who continually reminds His students 
Of that which He has taught them 
Before they lose sight of The Goal.

I remain also The Faithful Shepherd, 
Who calls to His sheep before they 
Have wandered too far...

The Wise and Loving Father, 
Who makes the sins of His beloved 
Known early, while they are still able 
To step easily off the crooked path... 
 
Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==Elect and Precious==
 
You are more than the filth that covers you, 
More than the sin that fills you, 
Much more than the choices you make; 
For I see your beauty, I know your heart 
And the love which you have for Me. 

Behold, I know you as you are and will be, with Me where I am. 

You are not that which you choose in a moment of weakness; 
You are that which I have created, and will become 
That which I restore, and will remain always 
A beautiful, finished work, elect and precious, 
My everlasting treasure, even as I shall be yours also. 

For I know My own, says The Lord. 

==Grace AND The Moral Law==
 
Hear and understand: Salvation can in no wise depart from you, once received.[https://www.thevolumesoftruth.com/Salvation_Is_Given_and_Must_Be_Received;_Once_Received,_Forever_Shall_It_Belong_to_the_Redeemed] Therefore, seek to please The Father AND keep The Law. 
For how can one who walks in Me by grace also walk in that which had condemned them? Shall My people reach toward Heaven with their hands, while their feet continue to tread the wide path which leads to destruction? And how shall one who loves Me take My hand and walk beside Me, with one foot on the good ground and the other in the grave? 
Therefore knowledge must increase, and sin decrease, to enter The Kingdom of Heaven. For one who is under grace bears fruit of the same; and The One who kept The Law of The Father revealed that grace by works.

 
So then, Grace is first and everlasting.

Then comes works, the first works done in faith, 
Even the first fruits bore in your lives...

Which is to love The Father and one another, 
By keeping The Law, says The Lord. 

==A Desirable Union==
 
Thus says The Lord to those who seek Him: Do you abide in Me? Have you received of that which I offer? For until one has stilled their heart and quieted the thoughts of their mind, they shall by no means hear that which the Spirit speaks. How then shall they walk in My will, if they are unable to discern? 
Yet everyone who looks for Me, with all their heart and with all their soul, shall surely find Me! And everyone who seeks My will, in all trust, shall know it! And in the secret place of My presence shall we break bread together, set apart from the many plots of the evil one, away from the noise of this world.

 
For this is where quiet understanding abounds 
And the will of The Lord is made plain...

Where the broken receive peace and every 
Sin is absolved in My healing embrace; 
Where the heart of every son rests 
Securely in the hands of his Father, 
And where the hearts of My daughters are 
Restored and shine anew in My likeness...

A desirable union, fulfilling every desire 
Of the heart in My love, says The Lord. 

==Consider My Love==
 
Behold My hands and My feet, and consider My love; 
For the scars of My passion remain, 
A holy, everlasting covenant 
Written in the blood of The Lamb.

Taste and see, beloved, drink! 
Until that which is veiled is veiled no longer, 
Until the void within your heart is filled.

For My love was written in every stripe I endured for you, 
Poured out in every drop of blood I shed for you, 
Revealed when you pierced My hands and My feet.

Beloved, I am married unto you!...

A union sealed forever in the blood we share... 
 
Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==A Man of God==
 
A man of God is humble and quiet 
Until called upon to speak, 
A man of low degree who treads softly 
Until called upon to act...

A lowly man who is completely in love with Me, 
Who does not his own will nor seek his own way...

A man who waits upon The Lord, 
And hesitates not when the command 
Comes down from the mouth of The Lord his God...

A man after My own heart, My servant, My friend... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==The Reward==
 
He who trusts in The Lord shall receive healing wings and soar high above the storm! At the call of The Most High, he shall ascend the heights of the heavens with The Lord beside him! Yea, Beauty shall be his dwelling place, and in the sanctuary of God’s mercy shall he worship He who sits on the throne! In one accord and with one spirit shall all praise The God of Jacob, sharing in the depths of Mashiach, as love flows from one heart to another! For YAHUWAH is God alone, He who laid the foundations of the earth, The One who is and was and is to come, The Almighty! YAHUSHUA-YAHUWAH!

 
Blessed, therefore, are all those who escape!

For they have called upon the name 
Of The Lord, in sincerity and in truth, 
And have given up everything to follow Him.

Indeed, they have received their reward. 

==Love Has Saved Them==
 
Those who were full shall be left empty, 
So they may be truly filled up, and those 
Who were thought of as first shall be last.

Yet those who were forsaken as last 
Shall be first partakers of The Glory. 
 
And those without knowledge shall be given 
Great knowledge, for Love has saved them.

Yet those who had attained great knowledge 
Shall be brought down to shame, so they too 
May be glorified in My presence, 
For Love has saved them... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==Offering a Gift==
 
A gift demanded is no gift at all; 
And anyone forced to receive a gift 
Never truly receives it.

Thus when offering a gift, 
One does not demand its acceptance, 
Lest the gift be polluted and a division occur, 
Causing both to depart offended... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==Accepting The Gift==
 
What is life without love? 
And what is love without the 
Free will to choose love?

I tell you the truth, 
A gift commanded is no gift at all!

Yet a gift accepted is where you 
Shall find life, love and salvation... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==Who Do You Serve?==
 
No servant is greater than his master...

How he serves others shows the master he serves; 
How he serves his master reveals the master within him; 
And what the master suffers will his servant suffer also, 
For he serves in his name. 
 
No one can serve two masters...

Either he will hate the one and love the other, 
Or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%206%3A24&version=NKJV]... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==Embracing the Call of The Lord==
 
There is no greater love than to lay down your life for another, and blessed is the one who embraces the calling of The Lord wholeheartedly. For a servant such as this lays down his life each day, bearing his cross after Me. Upon waking he kneels down at the feet of The Lord, with an open heart and open hands. And in this servant My soul delights. 
For the servants of The Most High uphold My cause. And as My love is poured out, it fills the hearts of the penitent, even as My stern correction and harsh discipline comes swiftly upon the defiant. For My ways are not human ways. For I do what is right by My children, doing that which is most needful for each one, that they may come to Me in their due season. I AM THE LORD. 

==Blowing The Trumpet==
 
My servants, to warn your brothers and sisters, 
Even to your neighbors and countrymen, 
Whether they will hear or whether 
They will forbear, is LOVE.

For only an evil man would fail to warn his fellows, 
When he had knowledge of coming calamity.

And only a wicked man meet for death would save himself, 
While forsaking those nearby to the sword... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==A Pillar of Strength==
 
My forgiveness runs far and wide, entering deep into the hearts of those who come to Me in sincere repentance. Yet many of My sheep believe themselves to be above reproach, and in this do they greatly err. Therefore let all My beloved grow wise in Me, and learn also to walk in My ways. For I am a pillar of strength to those of low degree! I uphold the powerless and steady the weary, as I renew the hearts of My elect!

 
Behold, I fill all those who come to Me empty with 
Spirit and grace, as they walk with Me into everlasting life! 
Indeed, they shall experience life in abundance, forevermore!...

Life of such a kind, which is only found in Me and I am... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==Without Condition==
 
Learn the lesson of obedience in The Lord.

For obedience is far greater than 
Witnessing a prophecy come to pass, 
And much greater than receiving healing 
By a miracle, for obedience is born of love.

For those who have no trust seek after signs, 
And those who remain in unbelief wait for miracles.

Yet only those who love Me, without condition, 
Will remain faithful, and only those who truly 
Know Me will endure in times of trouble... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==Rejoicing Over My Sons and Daughters==
 
My glory is revealed in the lives of all My children, no matter what path they had chosen, no matter how they have tread. I know My own, and I know when each will come to Me and how each shall come to walk in Me. And by this I am glorified, even as each shall also share in My glory. 
For to one, it is as the son who remained faithful to his father, and never lost his inheritance, but kept it close his whole life. Yet to the other, it is as the prodigal son[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke+15%3A11-32&version=NKJV] who went out and wasted his inheritance in the world, yet was met with much rejoicing when he returned home. For the one who was faithful remained in his father’s love, and was rejoiced over his whole life; and the other returned to his father’s love, and was met with much rejoicing. Yet both shall dwell in the house of their Father together, from that day onward, sharing equally in all he had laid up in store for them, forever. 

Thus by one I am glorified in their walk, 
And by another in their return. 
 
I AM THE LORD. 

==Pure Love==
 
The love of man is born from the desires of the flesh and comes forth from a place of longing, to fill a void which remains empty; affections built upon conditions and unrealistic expectations, learned in a world without natural affection - corrupt. 
Yet My love is a light which shines in a dark place, warmth which brings peace and healing to those whose hearts have grown cold; a cup overflowing, never-ending, affection in its purest form - unconditional.

Therefore come to Me, beloved, that our hearts may be satisfied! For all those who sincerely long for Me shall surely receive of Me, and all those who obey My voice shall surely walk beside Me, and all those who love Me, above all else, shall know the depths of My Mercy. For I shall take them, and they shall dwell with Me, where I am, in The Kingdom of My joy, forever... Says The Lord. 

==Trust in The Holy One==
 
The presence of The Almighty is a consuming fire, a purifying flame. The cloud of The Almighty is a covering for all who put their trust in Him. The Sanctuary of His peace is in His Holy One, and none shall fear who abide in Him. And though the terror of The Lord comes upon all nations, it shall not approach the penitent, nor shall the trembling of the humble continue without comfort. For The Lord God has a Holy One, and in Him is the loving mercy of God revealed. In His bosom are healing tears and laughter, joy beyond compare, the fullness of love, life without end.

 
Behold, The Lord has come down to look upon 
The rage of the nations, to search the hearts of men... 

The Mighty One has come down to gather His own, 
To take from among them the penitent, 
Everyone of a contrite heart and humble spirit... 
Those who do justly and love mercy, 
Whose eyes long to look upon their King... 
Those whose hands reach out for His healing touch, 
Whose fingers know His wounds, 
Whose lips have tasted of the divine gift, 
Drinking from His cup, always. 

==Choose Me==
 
Behold, The Gift is given already!

Therefore, all those who come to Me, who love Me 
With all their heart, with all their mind, with all their soul 
And with all their strength, shall be blessed indeed!

For is it not written: 
"Wisdom is justified by her children"?[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke+7%3A35&version=NKJV]

Therefore, here is wisdom: CHOOSE ME!... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==Trust in Me==
 
I am The First! Behold, I am also The Last!

Blessed therefore are all those who bow down before Me; 
For in them shall the vision be made complete 
And The Word established, even as it was 
At the first and shall also be at the last.

Trust in Me therefore, for I AM HE!... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==Breaking Through the Barriers==
 
Thus says The Lord: When tears well up, let them burst forth as a flood overflowing the dam; let them break through the barriers! 
Yet understand this: Let not your tears turn to anger when shed over hurt, nor let resentment come forth, lest you strengthen the dam and build up the barriers, leading to rebellion against The Lord as you hold unforgiveness in your heart. Beloved, let your tears flow when the Spirit convicts you! Let them cleanse your eyes so you may see, as your heart is set free! And no more resist the cleansing of The Lord. 

==Whose Robes Do You Wear?==
 
Pay attention to the robes you wear, 
And those which you seek to put on.

Rather be willing to come to The Lord naked, 
That He may clothe you with that 
Which He has prepared for you. 

==Treat Everyday as The Sabbath==
 
Why do you depart from the Sabbath at sundown 
And return to the ways of the world, welcoming in again 
That which you shut the door to on the Sabbath?

Rather treat everyday as the Sabbath, and you will do well... 
 
Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==The Sound of My Love==
 
I have laid My heart open before your eyes, 
And into your ears I have spoken.

As a harpist playing soft music, beautiful music, 
Plucking each string with delicate fingers, 
I revealed the song of My heart to you.

With precise strokes, in gentle tones of healing, 
With many notes of unending love 
And by soothing vibrations of peace, 
Did the sound of My love speak.

And I, even I, The Lord of Hosts, did not withhold from you... 
 
Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==Eternity with The Lord==
 
Who are these I have made? And what man have I brought forth from the dust of the earth, that I might share My glory with him? There are none worthy; not one formed from the dust of the earth who knows Me; not one who is righteous, no, not one. All lie down in death, all return to the dust of the earth. 
Yet I came down to you in the image in which I formed you, so you might receive of Me and have life, that you might share in My wisdom and find healing, great peace in My love... Exchanging your life for Mine... 
That you might roam free in My creation, close to Me, at My side always, until your first days are called ancient and your latter days laughter... Years beyond number... 
Thousands of years passing as the setting of the sun, millions of days passing by as a breeze caressing the face of the forever young... Each one remembered as yesterday, says The Lord YahuShua. 

==Drink Deeply from This Vine==
 
My children, seek My glory and look to My Righteousness, for The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand! Look into My eyes, open your ears to My voice, for the mouth of The Lord has spoken! Return to the first works; it is time to be consumed in your First Love!

 
Beloved, see the Word of The Lord, 
Drink deeply from this vine!

Consider My Mercy and the name of Love, 
That you may know Me as I truly am, 
That we may be one!

Consider, for it is time, says The Lord. 

==A Sure Way==
 
My words are pure, 
A solid foundation beneath the feet 
Of My beloved, a sure way for all who believe.

My words are a strong staff in the hand 
Of all those who do them, and all who place 
Their trust in Me will never falter... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==Envy==
 
Envy is a double-ended sword. One end is covetousness, piercing the heart of those who envy; the other is pride, piercing the heart of those being envied. Behold, envy is also a snare. For those who envy are held captive by covetousness, and those who are envied are easily ensnared by pride.

 
Therefore repent, and place 
All your trust in The Messiah.

Make Him your focus, 
Your only desire, and He will keep 
Your foot from being taken.

Indeed, He will preserve your life. 

==The Feasts of The Lord==
 
In these Seven is wisdom and understanding, the very mind of God. For the Holy Days are revelation, revealing hidden things kept secret since the world began - signposts of things to come, a foretaste of The Kingdom, a glimpse into the Glory of God even as the Scriptures, unfolding and coming to light as the will of God is manifest, says The Lord.

 
Behold, four are fulfilled: 
Salvation assured, sin and death overcome, the Spirit given. 
 
Three are coming quickly: 
Sin destroyed, evil bound, My seat taken, Judgment... 
 
A new day, even one thousand years... 
 
Then a short season, Consummation... 
 
An everlasting day in The Lord! 

==Beyond Question==
 
The Lord is eternal; HE IS! He never ends! His love, His mercy, His justice, His majesty, His glory, His sorrow, all that He is endures forever! 
Likewise His creation has no end, no boundaries! There are no limits to contain it, for it is as He is! HE IS THE CREATOR! - Everlasting, eternal, The Alpha and Omega, The Beginning and The End, The First and The Last by whom all things exist and have their being, through whom all living things have life! 
Kiss The Son, therefore! Bow down heavily and give Him glory! Let the knowledge of who He is fill your heart with wonder and awe, with great reverence and worship! Give Him thanks and praise! For Holy is The Lord God Almighty, His ways past finding out! For who can understand the knowledge of The Lord contained within creation, or know the depths of His wisdom?! Yet His Glory surrounds us on every side, testifying to His majesty beyond question! Indeed, we are without excuse!

 
Behold, even the whole of creation shouts, 
“YAHUSHUA is YAHUWAH!”

For it is He by whom all things consist, 
It is He who causes to be! 
For The Lord our God is One! 

==The Song of The Lamb==
 
Eat of Me, partake of My words, and be filled! Breathe Me in, that the song of The Lamb may dwell within you! For it is the knowledge of My love, the revelation of who I truly am! - A song, a chorus, soon to be a symphony, a great outpouring of revelation to the praise of My glory!

 
Beloved, it is also the music we share, 
Sweet melodies of grace and peace 
Playing softly within your heart, 
Each string plucked gently and surely...

The sound of My love revealed 
In you and through you...

My spirit, My breath, 
My life given and received, 
Bearing much fruit in The Beloved... 
 
Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==A Sure Foundation==
 
Old houses stand upon old foundations, 
And new houses upon new foundations; 
A new house cannot be built atop another, 
Nor does one build a new house 
Upon an old foundation.

No, the old house must be torn down 
And the old foundation removed, 
Making room for the new foundation 
To be poured, that the new house 
May rest securely upon it... 
 

Behold the house! 
A house with a sure foundation, a house able 
To withstand even the strongest of storms... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==Integrity==
 
Obedience is more than trust, 
And trust much more than obedience.

For obedience by itself 
Bears bitter fruit in the end, 
And trust left alone becomes a lie... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==Remembering the Ascension, Looking to the Blessed Hope==
 
That which was bitter shall be made sweet, and that which brought tears of sadness shall be turned to great rejoicing. For indeed The Bridegroom was taken from them, and has been a long time in coming. Yet those who have waited with all eagerness shall have their hope realized, and those who watched with steadfast trust shall not be put to shame; neither shall those who have fallen asleep be disappointed.

 
For the Bride shall have her heart’s desire, 
And My prophets their due reward.

For all those who belong to Me have tasted, 
And behold, My prophets have surely seen... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==The Justice of God==
 
The justice of God rests atop the mountain, and comes forth with a great noise! The retribution of The Lord rains down upon the mountains and gathers strength! It rushes down the steep places, catching many unawares! It gathers together and rages through the valleys, leaping over the banks, breaking down the walls, destroying every barrier! A terrible deluge! 
Behold, the trees are fallen and torn from their places, their branches broken and mangled, their roots laid bare! Unrecognizable!

 
Thus is the wrath of God, 
Thus is the Day of The Lord’s Anger:

Destruction in a moment, a tearing down, 
A wiping away, a great threshing, 
A carrying away of all that offends!...

Until all that is hidden is exposed, 
And that which is high and lofty 
Is brought low...

Until every fruitful hill is made barren, 
And every lush valley is stripped 
And bares neither leaf nor fruit…

Darkness, thick clouds and darkness...

The shadow of death. 

==Providence==
 
My people are a strange and peculiar people. Indeed, they are accounted by the multitude as those who are of unsound mind. Yet My servants are men of action, men with strong trust, men of clout in The Lord; men who are unwavering in My purpose who also care for those given them, willing to go wheresoever I send them, unafraid to do whatever is needful. 
Yet the plight of the slothful shall be filled with troubles, as the sun sets upon their need. For in their listlessness they were unaware and did not seek after My will, to know it, nor have they risen up to walk in that which I have spoken already. Thus providence is drawn back, until the sluggard has no place. 
Have I not spoken to these things already, in many Letters? Have I not revealed My will and that in which I am most pleased, by My many words? And still My people draw back from My voice and My servants sit idle and fold the hands, closing their eyes to their need while forsaking those placed under their care, both those near to them and those afar off, says The Lord. 

==The True Church==
 
I am The Church - Its walls, its pews, 
Its pulpit, its altar, its very foundation.

When sitting in My church, you can behold Heaven; 
There is no ceiling to keep you from enlightenment.

And if I am your sanctuary, your four walls of faith, 
Your resting place of worship, The Word and the Spirit, 
The Stone upon which all must be broken, 
The Very Cornerstone of Life, 
Then Heaven is open before the eyes of all 
Who dwell in Me and become My body... 
 
Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==Charity==
 
Comfort the sick, lift up the downtrodden, and visit those in prison; clothe the naked, shelter the homeless, and above all feed the hungry; do so in My name. For in Me shall all find comfort, exaltation, companionship, warm coverings and sanctuary from the storm; even food and drink for their soul shall they receive in Me. For all these things are the very definition and purpose of love.

 
Thus as I am, so also were you created...

Understand Love.

For in My love were you created, 
To receive and to give; 
And in the giving does one also receive.

Therefore, love one another 
As I have loved you, 
Says The Lord your Redeemer. 

==Without Hesitation==
 
Blessed are My servants who seek to 
Obey My commands without hesitation, 
For their trust is apparent; 
Blessed are those who seek to please Me, 
For in them am I well pleased.

For no man can step forward without trust, 
And one who is void of belief is 
Consumed by doubt and fear. 
And I have already told you that pride blinds 
The eyes and arrogance stops the ears.

Therefore let My servants step 
Forward without hesitation, and ask, 
That their blessing may be compounded 
And their belief increased!... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==Steadfast Faith==
 
Blessed is the wise and faithful servant, 
Who gives no thought to how they are 
Perceived in the eyes of others.

For they obey My voice, 
And are not dismayed by the looks 
Of those who judge without knowledge.

Indeed, they seek only to please their Master, 
Having no need of the approval of others... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==Perseverance==
 
There can be no birth apart from travail, 
For birth is always accompanied 
By much travail.

Yet oh how blessed are those 
Who persevere with their hearts 
Fixed upon the goal, enduring the pain, 
For they shall surely receive their reward... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==One Body==
 
This is the way of The Lord...

That one in need in My body 
Be supported by their brothers and sisters, 
With all members becoming one...

One body, in Me...

That he who is able to walk in Me 
Dwell alongside those who are weak, 
For they are in need of strengthening...

Lo, you shall all wash each other’s feet!...

Even as I do likewise 
Through you and amongst you, 
To the praise of My glory... 
 
Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==Devotion==
 
Of My servants I require obedience, with all trust, 
Pure service in The Lord...

An eager servant willing to obey without hesitation, 
Even when they lack understanding; 
A humble servant who remains in My love, 
A disciple who has breathed Me in...

A devoted son or daughter who loves Me more than these... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==Unrestrained==
 
Consider this, says The Lord; ponder it and also receive it: By good works you will not find Me, yet good works are found in Me. And by My works shall you begin to know Me, for My works shall be done in you.
Yet understand this also: Where human power is, pride follows close behind. Yet one who surrenders to The Lord will be given eagle’s wings. Yea nothing shall be impossible for them, for I shall be with them and in them, says The Lord.
In that day, wheresoever I am will My servants be also, and wheresoever I go My servants will follow. And whatsoever I decree will be done in an instant, and those who are chosen will go for Me without hesitation, and that which I speak in this place will be heard in another. And no more shall My servants be restrained, by any means! Declares The Lord. For it is I, The King of Glory, who has spoken it. 

==Blurred Vision==
 
One who answers a matter in the name of The Lord, while being ignorant or unsure, is foolish. And one who judges a matter without knowledge leans upon pride, wearing pretense as a garment. 
Thus the one who steps in front of Me shall surely stumble, and the one who seats himself upon My throne shall be cast down. For pride does indeed come before the fall, and those who judge without knowledge shall be made to sit upon the ground. I AM THE LORD. 

==Responsibility==
 
One who does not take responsibility 
For their wrong-doings can by 
No means place them at My feet; 
And until one faces their hurts, 
By no means can I heal them.

For the placing of blame turns the shoulder, 
And reluctancy hinders the heart.

Yet perfect love casts out fear, 
And the one who truly knows Me trusts 
In My ways and embraces My correction... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==The Broken and the Proud==
 
The broken sinner who repents, I know. Yet the prideful man who considers himself righteous, I do not know. Indeed, he shall be found a liar in the Day of Reckoning. For there is none righteous, no not one, save The Son of Man only. 
Therefore I ask you, shall the broken sinner be justified in his need, in his fervent desire? He shall indeed be justified in My sight! For I shall clothe him with righteousness and cover him with grace. In his times of weakness My strength shall sustain him, and in My love shall he be made whole. Behold, by My life is he healed! 
Yet the proud resist Me, and the arrogant want no part with Me as I truly am. For they have clothed themselves with the glory of men, a quickly fading flower. Their comfort is in their riches, and their solace is in their accomplishments, which shall leave them soiled and bruised in the day of their calamity, says The Lord.
 

==The Love of The Truth==
 
Truth is self-evident in the eyes 
Of all those who love The Truth.

Indeed, it resounds within the ears of all those 
Who have received of The Truth, 
In whom My spirit dwells... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==Uncovered==

 
Truth is evident in My eyes, and a lie is never hidden. Therefore, let no one place their unrighteous cause upon the backs of the children, when a wrong is accounted only to the one who performed it. Neither let the disobedience of the one be covered over by the needs of the many. For I have seen it; lo, all is known to Me. 
Therefore let My people be tested, let them be refined in the fire, that the quality of their trust and the endurance of their belief may be revealed, says The Holy One of Israel. 

==The Holy Place==
 
Beloved, there is a language of which 
You know nothing about, says The Lord... 

A language which is pure and beautiful, 
A language in need of no words at all; 
A language which you shall soon come to know, 
A language which I have revealed 
To My servant already... 

A language of overwhelming love, pure and undefiled, 
Bringing forth much understanding; 
A language of power and great glory, 
In which all My servants shall come to stand... 

The unspoken Word of God received in the presence 
Of The Almighty, The Holiest of Holies, 
Revealing the essence of who I am... 

Union in The Spirit of God... 

A place beyond time and space, beyond the knowledge 
Contained within creation, surpassing all boundaries, 
A place even angels long to know... 

The place where I am and have always been seated, 
Where you shall be also... 

A place without time, The Eternal, 
The Bosom of The Father[https://www.thevolumesoftruth.com/In_The_Bosom_of_The_Father], of which I AM... 

Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==A Return to the Garden==
 
Thus says The Lord: Behold, The Morning Star is risen, the universe is filled with His glory! And that glory shall abide with men, even in them and among them. I shall be a Father unto them, and they shall be My beloved children, forever! Lo, a return to innocence, paradise lost is paradise found, a return to the garden, the universe your playground.

 
Thus as I have spoken, so shall it be done:

The mystery of God revealed, 
The counting of days no more...

Forever young in the presence 
Of your Shepherd, your Redeemer, 
Your Father, your Brother, 
Your Most Beloved Friend, 
The Fulfillment of all things 
For which your hearts have groaned...

I AM THE MEANING OF LIFE!...

And all who live in Me, and I in them, 
WILL LIVE FOREVER! 

==Reformation==
 
Why does the heathen rage and shake his fist toward Heaven? Behold, he shall fall with none to catch him, and great shall be his fall! Yet the one who reaches for Me shall be lifted up, and the one who extends the hand shall know My dwelling place.

 
For as it is written:

Whoever has, to him more will be given, 
And he shall have an abundance...

But whoever does not have, 
Even what he has shall be taken away,[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+13%3A12&version=NKJV] 
Until the Time of Reformation is complete... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==The Kingdom==
 
The Kingdom of God is a garden...

Set apart from the many schemes of the adversary, 
A place of rest free of briers and thorns...

A Sabbath...

A holy place which shall never pass away, 
Where no one lies down in death, 
Nor shall any be made to slumber...

My people shall never be covered over again, 
For the old order of things has passed away! 
Behold, all things have become new!... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==The Word of Truth==
 
My Word is truth! And that which requires understanding shall be given to those of a contrite heart and a humble spirit. For those who love Me obey My Commandments, and those who remember My Sabbaths honor Me and shall know Wisdom. Therefore consider these things carefully.

 
For I have indeed prepared
a place for those who seek Me, 
For those who long to know Me as I truly am...

A place for all those accepted in The Beloved, 
In whom My spirit dwells...

The Kingdom without end... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==Faith Without Works Is Dead==
 
Let all those who truly know Me 
Proclaim My name first by their ways, 
Then with their mouths...

For honor only spoken of is but wind, 
The veil of the hypocrite who knows not 
Where he is going, having no remorse 
Over where he has been... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==Faith AND Works==
 
What is faith without works? 
Nothing, a lie spoken in vain. 
 
And what of works without faith? 
Vanity, a false good covering a heart 
Which has turned from The Truth... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==Just==
 
The justice of God is beyond question, 
Standing forever in its permanency, 
Unwavering for all time... 
 
Righteous. 

==God Is Sovereign==
 
God is sovereign, His judgment stands.

Therefore, let the penitent be rewarded equally 
To their forgiveness, which is equal.

And let all evil unrepented be punished in accordance 
With evil’s deeds, the final penalty of which 
Has remained equal even to this day.

The Lord does not change. 

==Intentions==
 
Where there are righteous works, there are also those 
Who seek to spoil them for the sake of pride and envy. 
And where there is pure knowledge, there are also 
Those who defile it among women. 

Yet the ignorance of the meek is no cause for offense, 
Nor shall the error of the humble bring forth rebuke. 

For I know the heart and look upon the innermost intentions... 

Says The Lord.

==Forgive==
 
Blessed are those who do not return 
Evil for evil, or reviling for reviling, 
But rather pray for their enemies.

Blessed are those who hold no ill-will 
In their heart toward another.

Indeed, blessed are all those who 
Forgive everyone who has sinned against them.

For great shall be their reward in Heaven... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==A Heavy Stone==
 
Those who refuse My correction are foolish, 
And must walk through dry places.

And those who refuse to repent have 
Secured their place in the valley of death.

For the pride of man is a heavy stone, 
Which increases by weight each day 
It remains unbroken... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==Insolent Cords==
 
Insolent cords bind the proud, 
And rebellion is a rope by which 
The foolish hang themselves... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==The Word of God==
 
The Lord your God is a consuming fire, My every word a purifying flame! The presence of The Lord is an oppressive storm, which abases the proud and causes the high-minded to flee! And that which I have spoken to this generation, is it not a sword with which I shall strike to the heart of this people?! For I shall surely set all these crooked paths straight, and burn away the dross!

 
Yet for those who trust in Me and in whom My spirit dwells, 
My words are like a strong tower set in the midst of battle, 
Which can in no wise be broken down!... 

A great trumpet blowing upon the hill outside the city, 
Which echoes throughout the waste places! 
A waving banner for this generation, a bright light, 
A beacon, shining in the midst of this present darkness!... 

A rod of justice for the oppressed and the persecuted, 
A loosening of the chains placed upon My people, 
The breaking apart of every shackle!... 

Freedom for those who love Me, 
Deliverance for those who understand, 
Strength for the weak, grace to the humble, 
Manna to nourish the penitent... 

Says The Lord. 

==My Witnesses and My Word==
 
Thus says The Lord: My words shall be as fire in the mouths of My witnesses, singeing the ears of every hearer! My words shall carry the full weight of My spirit and be very heavy!

 
Behold, I shall cause My words to have weight and power!...

Weight as a man feels when struggling against the power of the sea, 
The waves pushing him backward, toppling him, throwing him down, 
Until he has no more breath left in him...

As the wind knocked out of a man 
When he has been struck hard upon the chest, 
Leaving him in stunned silence, unable to speak, 
For all his thoughts have departed from him...

FOR I SHALL CAUSE MY STRENGTH TO DWELL 
IN MY WORDS LIKE THE ROARING OF THE SEA! 

==Pride==
 
Only those who know they are sick 
Seek out The Physician.

Yet those who perceive themselves as well 
Will in no wise come to Me, keeping Me at bay; 
They remain seated firmly in the darkness 
Of their own understanding, 
Resting upon their laurels by which 
They have highly esteemed themselves... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==Stained Glass==
 
One who peers through stained glass can not behold 
His own image, nor is he able to see those inside clearly; 
For he sees only an outline, a blur of color obscuring his vision. 

And those on the inside who peer outward remain blinded, 
Able to perceive only a shadow of what truly is, 
Holding up the hand against the brightness, 
For fear of the noonday sun which is about to come in. 

Thus they prefer the light filtered and the brilliance masked, 
By means of all this painted glass. 

What then shall a people such as this do when night has fallen?... 

Says The Lord. 

==The Humble, Penitent Man==
 
It is the humble, penitent man 
Who gives Me glory in all his ways; 
For he seeks to honor Me, 
To please Me above all else.

He wants no part in the ways of this world, 
Neither does he seek glory for himself; 
By his actions he shines forth, 
Seeking glory for The One alone who is God.

Thus the man who places Me foremost, 
In all things, shall also be first 
When The Glory comes... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==The King Eternal==
 
Behold, the footsteps of The Lord shake the earth! The footsteps of The Lord shall tread the winepress of the wrath of His fury! The presence of The Lord shall break apart the tall mountains; His power shall bring down every mountain, every high place shall be brought low! For the presence of The Lord is strong and mighty, and the anger of The Lord is hot and burns in the heat of His jealousy! Who can turn back The Lord’s anger, once it is kindled? Who can prevent The Most High from performing His will?! Whose glory is like The Lord’s?! 
Who comes as The King above all kings wearing the raiment of God, whose majesty is beyond compare?! Who is able to stand in the day of His wrath, or survive the power of His sword which proceeds from His mouth, the day He strikes through the heart of all people and lays His enemies waste, the day every adversary is consumed in the brightness of His coming?! For He is mighty in battle and His justice is swift, His victory absolute! 

 
Who is The King of Glory?!

YahuShua HaMashiach, HE is The King of Glory! 
His power is infinite, His love never-ending!

HE is The King Everlasting, 
The King of Righteousness!

His grace is shed abroad to 
Every contrite and humble spirit; 
His forgiveness is pure, ever-flowing 
Into the hearts of the penitent, 
Restoring them to righteousness and life!

Yes, He is The One and Only King Eternal! 
There is no other, there is none like Him! 

==In Union With The Messiah==
 
Beloved, there is a day coming when you shall enter My presence and never leave it, a day when you shall behold My face, says The Lord. And wheresoever your heart leads you, there will I be also, with you always where you are. Whether you journey to the heights of the mountains, or to the farthest reaches of creation, there I am, with you where you are. Beloved, all creation is Mine, and all I have is yours. For you are Mine, even as I am yours also... Together, forever. 

For the glory you have seen, and that which you have imagined, has until now been measured in a human way. Yet the glory of The Lord is of such a kind! Glory which has always been, glory with no beginning and no end, having neither height, nor depth, nor length, nor width. For My glory is life and that love we share, a gift of understanding which comes by knowledge of The Holy; glory which can not yet be fully realized, nor are there words sufficient to open your understanding... Fulfillment, which only comes by union. 

==My Love Endures Forever==
 
Long after the glory of men has passed away, with the height 
Of their kingdoms turned to dust, My love endures! 

Long after the stars you behold in the heavens 
Have ceased from shining, My love endures! 

Deeper and wider than space and time, My love endures! 

Even before creation, My love endures; and after, My love remains. 

For I shall be your God, and you shall be My people, 
As long as My love endures... 

Says The Lord. 

==I AM GOD==
 
I am He who formed the earth and all you see in the heavens, He who set the foundations and called creation forth by the Word of His power and the vastness of His knowledge, causing all things to be! 
I made the matrix, and set all things in order; I am He who formed it! I know all the hidden parts; even the most minute detail, by which all things are made, is known to Me! Behold, I see the inward parts; from the innermost depths to that which can not be seen by man, all is known to Me! 
Before Me is the whole of creation at all times! No distance is far from Me, no measure is too great for Me, and no weight is too heavy. That which is beyond your comprehension is known to Me each morning, and every evening I behold the whole of creation and consider. For I am The Lord. YAHUWAH is My name. 

==The Volumes of Truth==
 
Thus says The Lord: Beloved, this Word, even every Volume to every Letter, is the Word of My glory, which I have put forth once again - A testament of My love and sacrifice, the announcement of My coming, a proclamation of truth, revelation of who I really am! The Trumpet Call of God, so all those called and chosen may hear and come to Me in their proper time and season. 
Behold, it is also a strong correction for all those who have taken to themselves MY name and MY Word, to pollute it, a plumb line for this wicked generation! For this Word is a waving banner, an ensign to all nations! - A trumpet of alarm and war, the sound of recompense and judgment, which shall soon fall upon every nation!

 
For I AM WHO I AM! 
The Only Begotten of The Father! 
The One True God and Savior! 
The Mashiach!...

YAHUSHUA-YAHUWAH! 

==Keep Watch==
 
Thus declares The Lord: All your setting of dates shall come to nothing, and all your precise predictions shall fail, for I may take them before or after. For I am God. 
Behold, the first election is made, the time of bundling passed. Thick clouds have risen in the west, the hard rains have come, and who in all the earth is able to prevent it as it draws near, or hinder it when it arrives? Lo, a mighty wind blows in the east, yet who is aware of it until it has overtaken them? 
Therefore keep watch, for you know not the time of The Lord’s coming. Whether it be in the first, or in the second, or in the third watch of the night, you know not the time of His return. You know not the day or the hour, says The Lord. 

==AWAKEN==
 
The mountains tremble and the hills quiver, the oxen grumble in their stalls and the lambs leap about in their places. FOR I AM COME. 
Do you hear the sound of My heart pounding within My chest, the thunder rumbling as the storm approaches? Look how the lightning flashes upon the southern skies, see how the clouds roil on the western horizon. Behold, the northern lands are anxious, the isles of the east are unsettled and the deserts burn with hatred. FOR I AM COME. 
Behold, the trumpet is blown in the four corners, the warning broadcast in all the earth, and still you sleep! AWAKEN! I AM COME! Says The Lord.

Words of Wisdom From The Lord, Our God and Savior

'''NOTE:''' This page may take a few moments to fully load, depending on your internet and browser speed. Thank you for your patience
 <center>__TOC__</center> 
==Introduction==
 WORDS TO LIVE BY... 
 
More Words of Wisdom 
From The Lord, Our God and Savior 
 
For all those who have dedicated 
Themselves to Me by means of The Truth, 
Those who have recognized My words 
And also do them... 
 
Those who came to Me empty 
That I might fill them up, 
That they might be truly dedicated to Me... 
 
Even as I had dedicated Myself to them also, 
That we may become one... 
 
Set apart in My glory, for My glory, 
To the joy of their Father in Heaven... 
 Says The Lord YahuShua.
 
Behold, My words shall never pass away. For as I am, so also is My Word. For it proceeds from Me, being manifest by He Who Is True, also being called The Word... Living... Always feeding His flock The Word, which is written for their nourishment, which is to be received through that part of Himself which is also in Me, says The Lord God. ~ [From “[[The Word of My Mouth]]” ~ [[Volume 7]]]
 
It is written: 
 
“Man shall not live by bread alone, 
But by every word that proceeds 
From the mouth of God.” 
 
[Matthew 4:4] 

==Come, Love Awaits You==
 
Come, all those who know not My ways; I will show you.

Come, all those who have been abandoned; 
I will comfort you and give you shelter.

Come, all those who are crippled; 
Let us run and leap for joy together!

Come, all those faithless; 
I shall fill your cup, and watch how it overflows!

Come, all murderers; 
Watch Me raise you, and all who sleep, from the grave.

Come, all you who blaspheme, I will give you a new voice; 
Bring with you all those who are blind and deaf, 
For they too shall see and hear!

Indeed, come all those who have sinned against Me, take My hand! 
I will lead you to the waters where I shall wash you, 
And where your new clothes hang upon the tree 
Which grows next to the stream.

Come one, come all! Ask, and it shall be given you! 
For all things are possible with God 
And made manifest through The Son... 
 
Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==Crowning Glory==
 
The love of God is His crowning glory...

And that love is revealed in the glory of The Son, 
By which His beloved are also crowned. 

==The Spirit of Truth Brings Conviction==
 
This question was asked of The Lord, regarding [https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke+15%3A11-32&version=NKJV Luke 15:11-32:] Lord, have I become hard like the older son? Have I put my hand to tasks, and forgotten to build up compassion for those who have gone astray? Is this story meant to convict me, Lord? 
 

[The Lord answered]

If your heart is convicted, 
Then has it not also given answer 
To your prayer already, 
Revealing the Spirit which dwells 
Within you, of what sort it is?

For only the Spirit of Truth will bring forth 
Conviction unto righteousness, 
Bearing much fruit in The Beloved... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==The First Stitch==
 
The first stitch, to mend any rent, 
Are the words “I’m sorry”... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==YAHUWAH Is One; And His Word, One‎‎==
 
The Old Testament is The Father revealing Himself, while pointing to The Son. The New Testament is The Son revealing Himself while pointing to The Father, also fulfilling the Messianic prophecies of the Old Testament in Himself. The Letters<ref>“The Letters” refers to The Volumes of Truth</ref> are The Father and The Son revealing themselves as One, even as the Word of God is one, with The Letters being the culmination of the whole - not separate, but one.

 
Therefore, to reject any part of 
The Lord’s Word is to reject the whole.

The three books are one...

One on-going testament to God’s glory. 
<references/>

==Removing The Veil‎‎==
 
Thus says The Lord: Those who receive of Me begin to see with eyes wide open, with the deafness of their ears healing quickly. 
Yet those who have not received rely upon the spirit of men to discern, and stumble greatly; rejecting My Word spoken to this generation, while at the same time polluting My Word from aforetime; firmly securing the veil which remains atop their heads, covering their faces in an attempt to hide their shame. 
 

Therefore, I have spoken it and shall 
Say it again before this perverse 
And most wicked generation, 
Though they can in no wise bear to hear it...

I AM COME![https://www.thevolumesoftruth.com/I_AM_COME]THE TIME IS HERE!

And behold I, The Lord your God, 
Will do nothing until I have revealed 
My plans to My servants, the prophets, 
And this I have done. 

==Serving Others in Love‎‎==
 
Beloved, by serving others in love, 
Putting their needs before your own...

By sacrificing yourself, 
Your desires, your wants, your will, 
Your body, even your very life...

Will you learn what it truly means 
To wash each other’s feet, 
Says The Lord. 

==Prayers of the Sincere in Heart==
 
Prayer request: Please pray that pride won’t become an issue for me, because I just wanna walk with YahuShua only. 
 

[The Lord answered]

In your request is wisdom; 
For those of a sincere heart, 
Whose prayer is to flee from pride, 
Have received of their request 
Already in the asking...

Whereby they have also begun 
To build up a hedge about themselves, 
Because of their intent... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==Touching the Heart of God==
 
The hard of heart have no knowledge; 
Even all revelation is hidden from their eyes.

Yet one who shares in My cup, 
Weeping heavily upon My chest, 
Has touched the heart of God.

For sincere tears open the door to My fullness, 
Yet a hard heart is a locked door... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==Matters of the Heart==
 
The wailing of the penitent 
Brings forth healing; 
Yet the words of the wicked 
Cause only pain. 
 
Love flows outward from 
The hearts of the righteous; 
Yet the love of the wicked 
Grows cold, as hate enters in. 

==What Is Pure?==
 
Giving thanks to God 
In My name is pure worship, 
Yet the wicked man 
Demands honor for himself.

The heart of a child is pure, 
Yet the heart of the mature is corrupt... 
 
Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==The Spirit of Unity==
 
The spirit of unity is in Me, walking in My footsteps, doing unto others as you would have them do unto you; remembering that all you do to others, whether good or bad, you have done also to Me. 
Have I not spoken to this already, in the Gospel of My servant, John? For I said to love one another, and to wash each other’s feet, and that you can do nothing apart from Me. 
 

Therefore be one in Me, 
Even as I long to be one with you, 
Even as The Father and I are One, 
That our love may be made perfect in One...

You in Me, I in you, 
To the joy of The Father... 
 
Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==A Wise Guide==
 
One who endeavors to teach My flock, 
Using the Word of My own mouth, 
Must grow very wise in the hearing 
And must be wide awake in the Spirit...

Discerning, says The Lord. 

==The True Jew==
 
This question was asked: What is the definition of a true Jew? 
 
[The Lord answered] The definition of a true Jew is this: YahuShua. Therefore, all those in whom I dwell are Jews indeed. For they are true, even as I am true... Let none, therefore, bring even one railing accusation against MY olive tree! Says The Lord. 

==Finishing the Race==
 
It is the man who endures through the pain, 
And perseveres through every obstacle, 
Who finishes the race.

Yet the man who surrenders all to The Lord 
Will fly with eagle’s wings. 

==Dual Paths==
 
Let those who do wickedly 
Walk in the way they have chosen, 
Until their foot becomes ensnared.

And let those who are Mine seek 
Righteousness apart from the wicked, 
Until they are lifted up, 
High upon healing wings!... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==Leading Others in Righteousness==
 
Can any man lead while wielding a whip?

Yet The Lord is above all. 

==Grace to the Humble==
 
Behold, The Lord raises His voice 
Within the hearts of the elect! 
Yet His silence bears witness 
Against those who refuse to hear. 
 
Pride is a veil held fast 
Over the heads of the arrogant; 
It shall cover them in the day of darkness. 
Yet the way of the elect is a crown of glory, 
And grace covers them. 

==I Know My Own==
 
Those who are Mine receive of Me. For I know My own, and they seek Me; My bride is chosen. Yet those who reject Me and My Word have not known Me, nor will they receive; My spirit is far removed. 
Those who set themselves apart from Me, whether by word or deed or by pretense, their hearts are revealed; these shall be left to walk through very dry places. Yet those who seek Me in truth shall be drawn in quickly, whether they are near or far, for I know My own. And those who are married unto Me shall surely enter in. 
Therefore, judge no more by human standards, discern by right standards, according to My love and the knowledge you have received in Me. 
 

For I AM THE LORD, whose will is set 
And can in no wise be turned back; 
Even from the beginning, 
It was decided and accomplished.

For I AM...

And My bride has always been 
Predestined in The Beloved, 
Says The Lord. 

==Strength in Weakness==
 
A man’s strength is revealed 
In confronting his greatest weakness, 
Yet a man’s greatest strength 
Becomes his enemy 
When pride enters in.

Yet My strength is made perfect 
In My servant’s weakness... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==Stop Lying to Your Children==
 
(Regarding Santa, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy and the like)

No lie is of the Truth. Yet the little ones are of The Truth, and remain with Me and in Me. Even now I call to them, for My lambs know My voice. And that which came from Me must soon return to Me.Therefore, be separate from the ways of this world, and order your conduct according to The Word of Truth. And no more speak lies to your children, for this is sin. 
 

Rather feed them with The Bread 
Which came down from Heaven, 
The Bread which I am, 
The Way, The Truth, The Life; 
For this alone is pleasing to God.

Anything to the contrary 
Is of the world and the evil one, 
No matter its disguise... 
 
Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==All I Have Is Yours...==
 
For in knowing Me you possess all things... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==The Only Fountain of Knowledge==
 
That which is revealed to one may not yet be revealed to another. And those who have seen, have seen, yet most have only understood dimly. Therefore trust is required, and comes before understanding, for understanding can only come from Me. For I am The Only Fountain, The Only Knowledge in which is life. 
Beloved, when one loses sight of Me or turns away, understanding darkens. Yet one who keeps Me in front of them, coming to Me at all times and in every season, in them understanding brightens and they will have peace. For they abide in Me, and rest in the knowing that all things are held within My understanding, and are given and received according to the good pleasure of My will.

 
And indeed, this is sufficient for them. 
For they had first sought after 
The Kingdom of God and His righteousness, 
By which much revelation was added to them, 
According to the Spirit which I have 
Poured out for them... 
 
Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==Mature Faith==
 
Blessed are those who answer, “Yes, Lord,” 
For their faith is revealed.

Blessed are those who pray, “Your will be done, Lord,” 
For they have great trust.

Blessed are those who say, “Amen, Lord,” 
At all times and in every season, 
For they have understood.

Blessed are those who know, I AM WHO I AM; 
They shall have peace... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==Blessed Is The Name of The Lord==
 
By My name is your heart sealed; 
For in My name is the Spirit given, 
The Spirit which also testifies of My name.

By My name are you established in life, 
As a bride prepared for her husband.

Therefore, everyone who refuses 
To take My name shall not see life, 
For there is but One Way into life...

I am The Way, says The Lord YahuShua. 

==Sabbath Peace==
 
On the Sabbath, 
Let no unclean thing come from your mouth; 
Let only praise and beauty come forth.

Let My grace be your covering, 
Let gentleness and humility be your companion.

And soon you will wear a crown of glory 
Atop your head,
says The Lord YahuShua. 

==Two Robes==
 
Can one wear two robes without constraint? Or can one place one robe over another, and it not tear? Is it wise to put on one robe, while wearing another already? And shall one attempt to wear a robe of white, to conceal a soiled one beneath? Will they not both become unclean?

 
Therefore, take off the one 
Which is soiled and cast it away! 
That the other may be worn properly 
And without constraint...

Lest it tear, revealing your shame... 
 
Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==Healing by Faith==
 
Faith is believing I AM WHO I AM, and that I am able to perform it. Faith can by no means be attained, nor can one grab hold of it by human means.

For there are works done without faith, which are dead; and a faith which has works, which is also dead. Yet your faith came by My works, which enabled you to believe I AM WHO I AM. And all good works, which come forth from you, are My works also. 
Therefore if one is to be healed in accordance with My will, that same one must surrender to Me and My will, making no effort to increase their faith by human power as a means to a desired end.

 
Rather they acquiesce...

Knowing that all things will be done 
In their proper time and season, 
According to the love 
Of their Father in Heaven...

Doubting nothing...
 
Says The Lord. 

==Revelation Is Greater Than Knowledge==
 
While praying about those who have discounted The Lord’s words in The Volumes of Truth, those who think they have attained such great knowledge, The Lord spoke and said...

 
The knowledge they possess is earthly, 
But I am Heavenly!

What they have received is from below, 
But I am from above!

All they know is passing away, 
Yet I abide forever!

They dwell in the darkness, even now, 
And remain void of understanding, 
Yet I AM HE who dwells 
In the unapproachable light!... 
 
Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==The Companion of Fools==
 
Unrighteous jealousy is the companion of fools.

For those who envy also grab hold of jealousy, 
Walking hand in hand with covetousness. 

==Deliverance==
 
Blessed are those who run to Me, 
For they shall be blessed in My presence.

Even more blessed are those 
Who run to Me, then obey My Word, 
For their blessing is complete 
And they are at peace...

Deliverance they shall surely know, says The Lord. 

==Trust, Obey and Love==
 
Trust with abandonment, 
Obey without expectation, 
And love without condition.

For in this shall you truly know Me, 
With your faith progressing 
Quickly toward perfection... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==Who You Are==
 
Who you are at home reveals 
The person you remain.

Therefore, do not be as the hypocrite 
Who has two faces, for I see all your doings, 
I know your heart.

For by a man’s actions is his heart revealed, 
And by his mouth is he defined before others... 
 
Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==Who You Choose==
 
Here is wisdom:

Who you choose, not what 
You choose, is the answer; 
For who you choose defines what you do.

And whosoever chooses another, 
And not Me in truth, has chosen themselves, 
And has done according to their own will... 
 
Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==Embracing The Gift==
 
The Holy Days are the 
Stepping stones to Heaven...

In understanding their meaning shall you 
Progress quickly along the path I have laid...

And when I have fulfilled them to the last 
The journey shall be complete, 
For those who have accepted and received... 
 
Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==Notoriety==
 
Notoriety is a stumbling block at the 
Feet of the prideful, and fame puffs up; 
Pride goes before a fall, and fame is short-lived; 
Lo, a famous man is honored 
More in his death than in his life.

Yet what does it profit? 
For the meek shall inherit the earth. 

==Forbidden Fruit==
 
If the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil, 
Then pride is the tree and notoriety its branches; 
Death shall be the reward 
Of all those who eat from it...

Yea darkness is reserved for all those 
Who take shelter in its shade. 

==Evident==
 
If wisdom is justified by her children, 
Then the folly of fools is evident 
And the way of the wicked is death.

Yet the humility of the meek shall hide them 
In the Day of The Lord’s Anger. 

==The Meek and the Foolish==
 
The wise are quiet and know when to speak, 
And the humble are barely noticed.

Yet the prideful announce themselves as with a trumpet, 
And the plight of the slothful is made plain by their complaint. 

==Walking in The Word==
 
Rejoice in the wisdom of The Lord, 
And find joy in His correction.

For only those who have received 
Of the Spirit of Truth are able to see, 
And only those who love The Truth 
Are able to hear.

Yet only those who embrace 
The Messiah fully, who also write 
His words upon their hearts, will do them; 
And peace, the kind of which only The Lord 
Can give, shall be their companion. 

==Narrow Is The Way==

 
Very narrow is the way, yet look how easily a little child passes through... 
Men and women of this world, you stand too tall, your girth is too wide. Lose this height therefore and bow down, for you are puffed up; as fatted cattle you have become meet for the slaughter. Therefore, refuse all this rotten food fed to the masses, and eat no more from the filthy plates served in the churches of men. Rather partake of the food I give you, and be satisfied. For I tell you the truth, until you decrease in the world’s eyes, and are humbled in your own, you shall by no means pass through. For the first harvest shall be lowly, of the lowly, says The Lord. 

==Due Reward==
 
The high man stands proud, and the man of low degree is tread down! The eyes of The Lord have seen it, the ears of The Lord have heard it! Therefore shall the error of the proud be exposed, and the look of the lofty be brought low! For the span of My holy mountain is great, filling the breadth of the whole earth; the weight of the stone, infinite! And woe to those who are crushed beneath it! Says The Lord of Hosts.

 
Yet the man of low degree shall arise, 
And the humble sleeper shall awake from his slumber.

They together shall inherit the land, 
They together shall live in the top of The Mountain!

And the broken shall receive healing atop The Stone... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==Wonderful==
 
The power of The Lord is without end! His love covers His creation like a blanket, and the light of His glory reaches beyond the stars of heaven! His majesty is beyond comprehension; it transcends space and time! The Everlasting is His name! 
The express image of The Holy is revealed, He is known of His own! His glory shines from the east even unto the west, The Sh’khinah of The Father’s only Son! 
WONDERFUL is His name! WONDERFUL are His ways! He wears TRUTH as a garment, and GLORY is His vesture, and LOVE is His crowning glory! All life proceeds from Him; He holds all things together by the Word of His power!

 
His way is from everlasting, 
And with His mouth He testifies 
To the Truth, always!

Therefore, let us testify also; 
The Father and The Son are One! ONE!... 
 
YAHUSHUA-YAHUWAH! 

==Glad Service==
 
A right heart brings forth glad service, 
And a joyful giver reaps what he sows; 
Life in abundance shall be his reward.

Yet the heart of the wicked seeks his own way; 
And he too shall reap according 
To that which he has sown, 
Welcoming death when it comes. 

==Building the Gallows==
 
Vanity is a rope, and pride builds the gallows; 
Envy leads to hate, and jealousy 
Brings forth evil thoughts.

Therefore, beware of the thoughts of your heart, 
Lest you follow in Haman’s error[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Esther%207&version=NKJV] 
And walk in the way of Cain,[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=++1+John+3%3A12%3B+Genesis+4%3A8&version=NKJV] 
To your own demise, says The Lord. 

==Walking Together in The Father’s Joy==
 
Blessed is the man who gives out of the abundance of his heart. For one such as this gives, knowing in his heart that all he has is Mine and all I have is his, given and received according to the knowledge of My will for those who believe. For this man knows what it is to be My servant. He is bound by nothing, a man who walks free in all the earth, blessing the name of The Lord his God with enduring trust. 
Therefore those who give out of obligation know not the joy of The Lord, nor of the freedom which comes by service, helping others in My name.

 
Yet the servant whose heart leaps with joy 
At the thought of washing the feet of the poor, 
Who also eagerly seeks out the afflicted, 
To give them comfort, knows that whatsoever 
They do for another they have also done for Me.

For these know Me, and I live in them.

And together we shall walk, 
Choosing the good and refusing the evil, 
Until we walk together anew in My kingdom... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==Reconciliation in Marriage==
 
An unyielding heart sows discord in marriage, 
And stubbornness shuts the door to reconciliation.

Yet the one who is first to say, 
“I’m sorry” is wise, defusing any argument; 
And the one who is quick to forgive 
Heals the breach. 

==Surrender==
 
The unbroken remain proud, 
And fools speak assertions 
Without knowledge; they are bound.

Yet the one who holds their tongue is wise, 
And the one who surrenders all 
Shall gain The Victory. 

==Ears to Hear==
 
A willing, humble heart is open to Me, and one who is deeply in love with Me will hear My voice. Yet this is not equal, nor shall every servant hear My voice in the same way. 
Hear and understand: I have spoken to My prophets throughout the generations (for I change not), and each was given that which was required to accomplish My will among the people. Therefore rejoice, My sons and daughters, for The Most High has come down to you! And behold, I have caused My servants to hear, to receive wisdom by the power of My own spirit!

 
Lo, by the Word of My mouth
shall My beloved be blessed, 
The prideful humbled and the haughty abased.

For the Word of The Lord never returns void... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==A Waving Banner==
 
To the unbeliever, My Word, no matter its color or brilliance, shall be as gray clouds on a dark and dreary day. And to those pricked in their hearts, it shall be to them as an after image which ceases not from before their eyes, as a flash of lightning remains in the eyes of the one who beheld it even after they have shut their eyes to it.

 
Yet to the believer My words are cause 
For celebration, a time to stop and pay attention, 
For the mouth of The Living God has spoken!

Both the color and brilliance they recognize, 
For their eyes are wide open.

For them, The Source and The Author is clear, 
For they see with the heart and not with the mind... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==Believing without Seeing==
 
Look not outwardly for that which can only be discerned from within, and search not in the world for that which is not of this world, for I have already come... I dwell within the hearts of men! And My spirit testifies on My behalf!

 
Therefore, let the hungry come to Me and eat! 
Let the thirsty rush to My side and drink!

And let those who seek Me turn not their heads; 
Let them be still and listen for My voice... 
 
Says The Lord, Your Life. 

==Freedom==
 
Demand nothing of Me, 
And I shall give you everything.

Demand everything of yourself, and I will 
Take it from you, and you shall be set free... 
 
Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==Treading Water==
 
The servant who doubts is like a man who is tossed about on the waves of the sea. He is useless, spending all of his time trying to stay afloat, consumed with keeping his head above water.

 
Yet the man whose trust does not waver 
Fears not the boisterous winds, 
Nor do the billowing waves trouble him.

For he takes My hand, and together We shall walk, upon the water... 
 
Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==Bearing Fruit in Due Season==
 
Though men speak evil of you and others depart before the time, while still others question your sanity, I tell you, My words shall bear much fruit in due season. Yet the wicked will not understand, and the lukewarm will forsake them, and the worldly will seek to bind them and place them in a corner.

 
Yet those who are wise will understand, 
And in them shall a flame arise, 
In them shall My words be written; 
Behold, they shall bear fruit 
In accordance with My likeness!

For they were bound to Me from 
The beginning, and did not waver... 
 
Says The Lord your Redeemer. 

==The Devoted Servant==
 
What is the least thing done in service toward Me, Compared with that which My servant 
Wishes to do most for himself? 

Yet the servant who is truly devoted 
To Me puts no difference between them; 
In his eyes they are one and the same; 
In his heart the former fulfills the latter. 

For have I not said, “A right heart brings forth glad service”?... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==Impaired Vision==
 
I saw a star fall from Heaven, while the sons of men laughed. For they have no vision, neither are they able to see beyond that which is in front of them. And even this they deny, for they love deception and the truth is not at all convenient.

 
Yet the sons of God hold their tongues, 
And open not their mouths.

As tears run down their faces, 
They look upon creation with new eyes 
And restored vision, embracing The Promise, 
Abiding in The Hope of Salvation... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==The Holy Flame==
 
Hear and seek to understand: The Word of God is fire, each word a burning flame in the midst of an immense fire. The countenance of The Lord is a fire, and a flame within a fire. The glory of The Lord is perfect, a pure light, a flame within a flame, a fire engulfing all creation! 
YAHUWAH is One, and His name, One; His name is in Him and is Him. YAHUWAH is His name, and His name is One with Him. They are not separate, but one, even as The Father and The Son are One - a flame within a flame, within an immense fire. 
YAHUWAH has no beginning and no end, even as His name. Therefore nothing is outside YAHUWAH, for His being is infinite. And those who pass outside creation enter into His eternal glory, or are burned up in His devouring fire, in His everlasting flame. 
Therefore no one may come to The Father except through The Son, YAHUSHUA, The Purifying Flame. For only The Holy Flame may dwell within The Fire, for YAH is holy. And all those void of The Flame will consume away; they shall cease to exist. For ALL must pass through the fire, ALL are subject to the power of The Flame - the wicked purged, and the penitent purified. 

==More==
 
I have seen the sun rise upon the mountains of Israel, I have seen the light of the moon illuminate the valleys of Judah, I have even seen the stars fall from the heavens! Yet never have I seen a wonder such as this, never have I beheld such a wondrous thing! 
I have seen a brilliant light, a perfect likeness! Behold, I have stepped into the fire! Yet instead of burning, I received understanding; and in place of my wounds, I received healing in this flame! 
What a wondrous and beautiful place! Such overwhelming, pure love in the light of His glory, consuming me where I stand, strengthening me as I fall down, my tears flowing as my life departs from me! Yet I do not die. Rather the presence of The Lord of Hosts rises up in me! 
Is this Heaven? Yes! It is The Kingdom! For before me is the likeness of a Man, bright and shining! He is beckoning me! I see the holes in His hands and in His feet, as I am pulled toward His open arms!

 
I am losing myself, 
Yet I feel as though I am being born! 
I was dead, and now I am alive again, 
The man I was passing away as His life rushes in!

And what more can I say? 
What more shall I ask of Him?...

Only this: MORE! 

==The Selfless Servant==
 
The selfless servant shall be filled and put to use in all the earth, dwelling always in the inner courts of My love, where grace and truth flow as a river which never runs dry, partaking of My glory, bearing fruit in kind. For he who dwells in the secret place of The Most High abides in the shadow of The Almighty, and from this servant nothing is withheld. 
Lo, within him are written The Commandments of God, and engraven upon his heart is the name of love and pure righteousness. In his mind’s eye he sees the holy sacrifice, the salvation of many. With his lips he sings the song of The Lamb, and with his mouth he testifies to the glory of The Lord, without ceasing.
 
For great is YAHUWAH his God, and holy is The One who is poured out! For the mouths of the pure in heart are open, and He shall surely fill them up, even as a welcomed rain in the height of summer, says The Lord.

==Made Whole==
 
This is wisdom: I AM HE!

And this is understanding: 
I abide forever! All healing is in Me!

Therefore everyone who comes to Me is made whole, 
And everyone who lives in Me shall abide forever... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==Eternal Fire==
 
The Lord our God has kindled a fire; 
His heart is set ablaze over His beloved! 
 
Thus all who willingly pass through 
The Flame shall be purified, 
Refined and restored in the image 
In which He created them.

Yet the wicked shall never be established; 
Their places shall be removed, 
Burned up, utterly consumed!

For The Lord our God is a consuming fire, 
The Purifying Flame! 

==The Sower and The Reaper==
 
Such troubled children, always divided. None have learned to walk, not one truly knows Me. Yea, darkness is overhead, and many have fallen back to sleep. In the height of summer they withered, under the heat of the noonday sun they became faint and fell down. And now the time of the harvest is here, relief is very near, yet who opens their eyes to look upon Me?

 
Who stands up and bears their burden gladly?...

That all might eat and rejoice in their labors, 
That all might rejoice and give thanks together 
For the bounty which I have provided...

Looking to the day when the plowman overtakes the reaper, 
And the treader of grapes Him who sows seed...[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=%23Amos+9%3A13+&version=NKJV] 
 
Says The Lord. 

==The Salvation Day==
 
The Salvation Day of Men is four-fold:

It was ordained before the foundation 
Of the world, fulfilled at My birth, 
Finished at My death on the cross, 
And solidified eternally upon My resurrection... 
 
Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==The Truth Endures Forever==
 
The power of a lie is only as strong as those who believe it; 
Yet The Truth will set you free.

All lies are born of the evil one and shall perish; 
Yet The Truth endures forever. 

==Anathema==
 
Thus says The Lord: As it is written, My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge! And because they have rejected knowledge, I must also reject them![https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Hosea+4%3A6&version=NKJV]... In all their forsaking of Me are they taken away! On account of their pride they reject Me, and in their arrogance do they hold fast to their own way, treading the wide path! Therefore are the walls of Jerusalem broken down! Thus is the vineyard of The Lord tread down! Behold, the vats overflow, every vessel is tipped, all new wine evaporates in the fire! And still, My people are not saved! 

==The Redeemer==
 
Behold, I had come, 
The Son who was completely blameless, 
To bear the guilt of all The Father’s children...

The Just for the unjust; 
The Innocent for the guilty; 
The Son of Man for the sons of men... 
 
Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==Letting Go==
 
Here is wisdom:

For one to depart this world 
They must first depart in spirit, 
Willingly forsaking their life in this world, 
Fully embracing Mine...

Coming to Me free, 
Without any form of malice 
In their heart toward another...

Then shall they be taken, says The Lord. 

==True Fellowship==
 
True fellowship comes not by words 
Spoken amongst a group of united people.

Rather it starts with the heart, 
And is found in the stillness of My spirit, 
Where My peace mends the broken 
And My gentle caress gladdens the heart.

For all those found at the feet of The Lord 
Are covered with grace, 
And those who abide in My love 
Are indeed of one accord... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==Walk Humbly with Your God==
 
Hear and understand: The moment pride enters a man, and the moment he stands in front of Me to look elsewhere, is the same moment My hand is removed. For I have shown you, My servants, what is good and that which I require: That you should do justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with your God.[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Micah+6%3A8&version=NKJV]

 
Yet how can one behold My face while 
Looking elsewhere, seeking glory for themselves?

And how can one who has stepped 
In front of Me walk in My footsteps?

Beloved, how shall one who runs away from Me, 
To tread another path, take My hand?... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==Faith==
 
When My servant no longer seeks to see with his eyes, nor hear with his ears, the fulfillment of those things written, then he will know his faith is near to completion, says The Lord. For one who must see with his eyes lacks trust, and one who has itching ears lacks understanding.

 
Yet the servant who truly believes is no longer Bound by the need for confirmation; 
He seeks not after signs, nor does 
He sit idle waiting for the news.

For his trust is complete, his understanding full, 
And he is at peace, walking in the ways of The Lord. 

==Walking Free==
 
One who bears their own burdens 
Must also bear the heat of the day.

Yet one who lets go, cutting every cord that 
Binds them to this world, walks free, 
And shall be given eagle’s wings... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==Antidote==
 
Judging another man’s servant poisons the heart 
And corrupts every good intention.

Yet judging one’s own judgment, 
Taking every thought captive, 
Renders this poison neutral and of no effect... 
Righteous discernment according to 
That which the Spirit reveals, says The Lord. 

==Idle Hands==
 
Idle hands lack bread, and an idle heart lacks trust; 
Their backs are bent down always, their countenances fallen, 
Their eyelids have grown very heavy.

Yet love strengthens the spirit, and washing another’s feet 
Is good for the soul, renewing the whole of the body... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==I Remain Always==
 
I remain always The Good Teacher, 
Who continually reminds His students 
Of that which He has taught them 
Before they lose sight of The Goal.

I remain also The Faithful Shepherd, 
Who calls to His sheep before they 
Have wandered too far...

The Wise and Loving Father, 
Who makes the sins of His beloved 
Known early, while they are still able 
To step easily off the crooked path... 
 
Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==Elect and Precious==
 
You are more than the filth that covers you, 
More than the sin that fills you, 
Much more than the choices you make; 
For I see your beauty, I know your heart 
And the love which you have for Me. 

Behold, I know you as you are and will be, with Me where I am. 

You are not that which you choose in a moment of weakness; 
You are that which I have created, and will become 
That which I restore, and will remain always 
A beautiful, finished work, elect and precious, 
My everlasting treasure, even as I shall be yours also. 

For I know My own, says The Lord. 

==Grace AND The Moral Law==
 
Hear and understand: Salvation can in no wise depart from you, once received.[https://www.thevolumesoftruth.com/Salvation_Is_Given_and_Must_Be_Received;_Once_Received,_Forever_Shall_It_Belong_to_the_Redeemed] Therefore, seek to please The Father AND keep The Law. 
For how can one who walks in Me by grace also walk in that which had condemned them? Shall My people reach toward Heaven with their hands, while their feet continue to tread the wide path which leads to destruction? And how shall one who loves Me take My hand and walk beside Me, with one foot on the good ground and the other in the grave? 
Therefore knowledge must increase, and sin decrease, to enter The Kingdom of Heaven. For one who is under grace bears fruit of the same; and The One who kept The Law of The Father revealed that grace by works.

 
So then, Grace is first and everlasting.

Then comes works, the first works done in faith, 
Even the first fruits bore in your lives...

Which is to love The Father and one another, 
By keeping The Law, says The Lord. 

==A Desirable Union==
 
Thus says The Lord to those who seek Him: Do you abide in Me? Have you received of that which I offer? For until one has stilled their heart and quieted the thoughts of their mind, they shall by no means hear that which the Spirit speaks. How then shall they walk in My will, if they are unable to discern? 
Yet everyone who looks for Me, with all their heart and with all their soul, shall surely find Me! And everyone who seeks My will, in all trust, shall know it! And in the secret place of My presence shall we break bread together, set apart from the many plots of the evil one, away from the noise of this world.

 
For this is where quiet understanding abounds 
And the will of The Lord is made plain...

Where the broken receive peace and every 
Sin is absolved in My healing embrace; 
Where the heart of every son rests 
Securely in the hands of his Father, 
And where the hearts of My daughters are 
Restored and shine anew in My likeness...

A desirable union, fulfilling every desire 
Of the heart in My love, says The Lord. 

==Consider My Love==
 
Behold My hands and My feet, and consider My love; 
For the scars of My passion remain, 
A holy, everlasting covenant 
Written in the blood of The Lamb.

Taste and see, beloved, drink! 
Until that which is veiled is veiled no longer, 
Until the void within your heart is filled.

For My love was written in every stripe I endured for you, 
Poured out in every drop of blood I shed for you, 
Revealed when you pierced My hands and My feet.

Beloved, I am married unto you!...

A union sealed forever in the blood we share... 
 
Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==A Man of God==
 
A man of God is humble and quiet 
Until called upon to speak, 
A man of low degree who treads softly 
Until called upon to act...

A lowly man who is completely in love with Me, 
Who does not his own will nor seek his own way...

A man who waits upon The Lord, 
And hesitates not when the command 
Comes down from the mouth of The Lord his God...

A man after My own heart, My servant, My friend... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==The Reward==
 
He who trusts in The Lord shall receive healing wings and soar high above the storm! At the call of The Most High, he shall ascend the heights of the heavens with The Lord beside him! Yea, Beauty shall be his dwelling place, and in the sanctuary of God’s mercy shall he worship He who sits on the throne! In one accord and with one spirit shall all praise The God of Jacob, sharing in the depths of Mashiach, as love flows from one heart to another! For YAHUWAH is God alone, He who laid the foundations of the earth, The One who is and was and is to come, The Almighty! YAHUSHUA-YAHUWAH!

 
Blessed, therefore, are all those who escape!

For they have called upon the name 
Of The Lord, in sincerity and in truth, 
And have given up everything to follow Him.

Indeed, they have received their reward. 

==Love Has Saved Them==
 
Those who were full shall be left empty, 
So they may be truly filled up, and those 
Who were thought of as first shall be last.

Yet those who were forsaken as last 
Shall be first partakers of The Glory. 
 
And those without knowledge shall be given 
Great knowledge, for Love has saved them.

Yet those who had attained great knowledge 
Shall be brought down to shame, so they too 
May be glorified in My presence, 
For Love has saved them... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==Offering a Gift==
 
A gift demanded is no gift at all; 
And anyone forced to receive a gift 
Never truly receives it.

Thus when offering a gift, 
One does not demand its acceptance, 
Lest the gift be polluted and a division occur, 
Causing both to depart offended... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==Accepting The Gift==
 
What is life without love? 
And what is love without the 
Free will to choose love?

I tell you the truth, 
A gift commanded is no gift at all!

Yet a gift accepted is where you 
Shall find life, love and salvation... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==Who Do You Serve?==
 
No servant is greater than his master...

How he serves others shows the master he serves; 
How he serves his master reveals the master within him; 
And what the master suffers will his servant suffer also, 
For he serves in his name. 
 
No one can serve two masters...

Either he will hate the one and love the other, 
Or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%206%3A24&version=NKJV]... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==Embracing the Call of The Lord==
 
There is no greater love than to lay down your life for another, and blessed is the one who embraces the calling of The Lord wholeheartedly. For a servant such as this lays down his life each day, bearing his cross after Me. Upon waking he kneels down at the feet of The Lord, with an open heart and open hands. And in this servant My soul delights. 
For the servants of The Most High uphold My cause. And as My love is poured out, it fills the hearts of the penitent, even as My stern correction and harsh discipline comes swiftly upon the defiant. For My ways are not human ways. For I do what is right by My children, doing that which is most needful for each one, that they may come to Me in their due season. I AM THE LORD. 

==Blowing The Trumpet==
 
My servants, to warn your brothers and sisters, 
Even to your neighbors and countrymen, 
Whether they will hear or whether 
They will forbear, is LOVE.

For only an evil man would fail to warn his fellows, 
When he had knowledge of coming calamity.

And only a wicked man meet for death would save himself, 
While forsaking those nearby to the sword... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==A Pillar of Strength==
 
My forgiveness runs far and wide, entering deep into the hearts of those who come to Me in sincere repentance. Yet many of My sheep believe themselves to be above reproach, and in this do they greatly err. Therefore let all My beloved grow wise in Me, and learn also to walk in My ways. For I am a pillar of strength to those of low degree! I uphold the powerless and steady the weary, as I renew the hearts of My elect!

 
Behold, I fill all those who come to Me empty with 
Spirit and grace, as they walk with Me into everlasting life! 
Indeed, they shall experience life in abundance, forevermore!...

Life of such a kind, which is only found in Me and I am... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==Without Condition==
 
Learn the lesson of obedience in The Lord.

For obedience is far greater than 
Witnessing a prophecy come to pass, 
And much greater than receiving healing 
By a miracle, for obedience is born of love.

For those who have no trust seek after signs, 
And those who remain in unbelief wait for miracles.

Yet only those who love Me, without condition, 
Will remain faithful, and only those who truly 
Know Me will endure in times of trouble... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==Rejoicing Over My Sons and Daughters==
 
My glory is revealed in the lives of all My children, no matter what path they had chosen, no matter how they have tread. I know My own, and I know when each will come to Me and how each shall come to walk in Me. And by this I am glorified, even as each shall also share in My glory. 
For to one, it is as the son who remained faithful to his father, and never lost his inheritance, but kept it close his whole life. Yet to the other, it is as the prodigal son[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke+15%3A11-32&version=NKJV] who went out and wasted his inheritance in the world, yet was met with much rejoicing when he returned home. For the one who was faithful remained in his father’s love, and was rejoiced over his whole life; and the other returned to his father’s love, and was met with much rejoicing. Yet both shall dwell in the house of their Father together, from that day onward, sharing equally in all he had laid up in store for them, forever. 

Thus by one I am glorified in their walk, 
And by another in their return. 
 
I AM THE LORD. 

==Pure Love==
 
The love of man is born from the desires of the flesh and comes forth from a place of longing, to fill a void which remains empty; affections built upon conditions and unrealistic expectations, learned in a world without natural affection - corrupt. 
Yet My love is a light which shines in a dark place, warmth which brings peace and healing to those whose hearts have grown cold; a cup overflowing, never-ending, affection in its purest form - unconditional.

Therefore come to Me, beloved, that our hearts may be satisfied! For all those who sincerely long for Me shall surely receive of Me, and all those who obey My voice shall surely walk beside Me, and all those who love Me, above all else, shall know the depths of My Mercy. For I shall take them, and they shall dwell with Me, where I am, in The Kingdom of My joy, forever... Says The Lord. 

==Trust in The Holy One==
 
The presence of The Almighty is a consuming fire, a purifying flame. The cloud of The Almighty is a covering for all who put their trust in Him. The Sanctuary of His peace is in His Holy One, and none shall fear who abide in Him. And though the terror of The Lord comes upon all nations, it shall not approach the penitent, nor shall the trembling of the humble continue without comfort. For The Lord God has a Holy One, and in Him is the loving mercy of God revealed. In His bosom are healing tears and laughter, joy beyond compare, the fullness of love, life without end.

 
Behold, The Lord has come down to look upon 
The rage of the nations, to search the hearts of men... 

The Mighty One has come down to gather His own, 
To take from among them the penitent, 
Everyone of a contrite heart and humble spirit... 
Those who do justly and love mercy, 
Whose eyes long to look upon their King... 
Those whose hands reach out for His healing touch, 
Whose fingers know His wounds, 
Whose lips have tasted of the divine gift, 
Drinking from His cup, always. 

==Choose Me==
 
Behold, The Gift is given already!

Therefore, all those who come to Me, who love Me 
With all their heart, with all their mind, with all their soul 
And with all their strength, shall be blessed indeed!

For is it not written: 
"Wisdom is justified by her children"?[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke+7%3A35&version=NKJV]

Therefore, here is wisdom: CHOOSE ME!... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==Trust in Me==
 
I am The First! Behold, I am also The Last!

Blessed therefore are all those who bow down before Me; 
For in them shall the vision be made complete 
And The Word established, even as it was 
At the first and shall also be at the last.

Trust in Me therefore, for I AM HE!... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==Breaking Through the Barriers==
 
Thus says The Lord: When tears well up, let them burst forth as a flood overflowing the dam; let them break through the barriers! 
Yet understand this: Let not your tears turn to anger when shed over hurt, nor let resentment come forth, lest you strengthen the dam and build up the barriers, leading to rebellion against The Lord as you hold unforgiveness in your heart. Beloved, let your tears flow when the Spirit convicts you! Let them cleanse your eyes so you may see, as your heart is set free! And no more resist the cleansing of The Lord. 

==Whose Robes Do You Wear?==
 
Pay attention to the robes you wear, 
And those which you seek to put on.

Rather be willing to come to The Lord naked, 
That He may clothe you with that 
Which He has prepared for you. 

==Treat Everyday as The Sabbath==
 
Why do you depart from the Sabbath at sundown 
And return to the ways of the world, welcoming in again 
That which you shut the door to on the Sabbath?

Rather treat everyday as the Sabbath, and you will do well... 
 
Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==The Sound of My Love==
 
I have laid My heart open before your eyes, 
And into your ears I have spoken.

As a harpist playing soft music, beautiful music, 
Plucking each string with delicate fingers, 
I revealed the song of My heart to you.

With precise strokes, in gentle tones of healing, 
With many notes of unending love 
And by soothing vibrations of peace, 
Did the sound of My love speak.

And I, even I, The Lord of Hosts, did not withhold from you... 
 
Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==Eternity with The Lord==
 
Who are these I have made? And what man have I brought forth from the dust of the earth, that I might share My glory with him? There are none worthy; not one formed from the dust of the earth who knows Me; not one who is righteous, no, not one. All lie down in death, all return to the dust of the earth. 
Yet I came down to you in the image in which I formed you, so you might receive of Me and have life, that you might share in My wisdom and find healing, great peace in My love... Exchanging your life for Mine... 
That you might roam free in My creation, close to Me, at My side always, until your first days are called ancient and your latter days laughter... Years beyond number... 
Thousands of years passing as the setting of the sun, millions of days passing by as a breeze caressing the face of the forever young... Each one remembered as yesterday, says The Lord YahuShua. 

==Drink Deeply from This Vine==
 
My children, seek My glory and look to My Righteousness, for The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand! Look into My eyes, open your ears to My voice, for the mouth of The Lord has spoken! Return to the first works; it is time to be consumed in your First Love!

 
Beloved, see the Word of The Lord, 
Drink deeply from this vine!

Consider My Mercy and the name of Love, 
That you may know Me as I truly am, 
That we may be one!

Consider, for it is time, says The Lord. 

==A Sure Way==
 
My words are pure, 
A solid foundation beneath the feet 
Of My beloved, a sure way for all who believe.

My words are a strong staff in the hand 
Of all those who do them, and all who place 
Their trust in Me will never falter... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==Envy==
 
Envy is a double-ended sword. One end is covetousness, piercing the heart of those who envy; the other is pride, piercing the heart of those being envied. Behold, envy is also a snare. For those who envy are held captive by covetousness, and those who are envied are easily ensnared by pride.

 
Therefore repent, and place 
All your trust in The Messiah.

Make Him your focus, 
Your only desire, and He will keep 
Your foot from being taken.

Indeed, He will preserve your life. 

==The Feasts of The Lord==
 
In these Seven is wisdom and understanding, the very mind of God. For the Holy Days are revelation, revealing hidden things kept secret since the world began - signposts of things to come, a foretaste of The Kingdom, a glimpse into the Glory of God even as the Scriptures, unfolding and coming to light as the will of God is manifest, says The Lord.

 
Behold, four are fulfilled: 
Salvation assured, sin and death overcome, the Spirit given. 
 
Three are coming quickly: 
Sin destroyed, evil bound, My seat taken, Judgment... 
 
A new day, even one thousand years... 
 
Then a short season, Consummation... 
 
An everlasting day in The Lord! 

==Beyond Question==
 
The Lord is eternal; HE IS! He never ends! His love, His mercy, His justice, His majesty, His glory, His sorrow, all that He is endures forever! 
Likewise His creation has no end, no boundaries! There are no limits to contain it, for it is as He is! HE IS THE CREATOR! - Everlasting, eternal, The Alpha and Omega, The Beginning and The End, The First and The Last by whom all things exist and have their being, through whom all living things have life! 
Kiss The Son, therefore! Bow down heavily and give Him glory! Let the knowledge of who He is fill your heart with wonder and awe, with great reverence and worship! Give Him thanks and praise! For Holy is The Lord God Almighty, His ways past finding out! For who can understand the knowledge of The Lord contained within creation, or know the depths of His wisdom?! Yet His Glory surrounds us on every side, testifying to His majesty beyond question! Indeed, we are without excuse!

 
Behold, even the whole of creation shouts, 
“YAHUSHUA is YAHUWAH!”

For it is He by whom all things consist, 
It is He who causes to be! 
For The Lord our God is One! 

==The Song of The Lamb==
 
Eat of Me, partake of My words, and be filled! Breathe Me in, that the song of The Lamb may dwell within you! For it is the knowledge of My love, the revelation of who I truly am! - A song, a chorus, soon to be a symphony, a great outpouring of revelation to the praise of My glory!

 
Beloved, it is also the music we share, 
Sweet melodies of grace and peace 
Playing softly within your heart, 
Each string plucked gently and surely...

The sound of My love revealed 
In you and through you...

My spirit, My breath, 
My life given and received, 
Bearing much fruit in The Beloved... 
 
Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==A Sure Foundation==
 
Old houses stand upon old foundations, 
And new houses upon new foundations; 
A new house cannot be built atop another, 
Nor does one build a new house 
Upon an old foundation.

No, the old house must be torn down 
And the old foundation removed, 
Making room for the new foundation 
To be poured, that the new house 
May rest securely upon it... 
 

Behold the house! 
A house with a sure foundation, a house able 
To withstand even the strongest of storms... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==Integrity==
 
Obedience is more than trust, 
And trust much more than obedience.

For obedience by itself 
Bears bitter fruit in the end, 
And trust left alone becomes a lie... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==Remembering the Ascension, Looking to the Blessed Hope==
 
That which was bitter shall be made sweet, and that which brought tears of sadness shall be turned to great rejoicing. For indeed The Bridegroom was taken from them, and has been a long time in coming. Yet those who have waited with all eagerness shall have their hope realized, and those who watched with steadfast trust shall not be put to shame; neither shall those who have fallen asleep be disappointed.

 
For the Bride shall have her heart’s desire, 
And My prophets their due reward.

For all those who belong to Me have tasted, 
And behold, My prophets have surely seen... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==The Justice of God==
 
The justice of God rests atop the mountain, and comes forth with a great noise! The retribution of The Lord rains down upon the mountains and gathers strength! It rushes down the steep places, catching many unawares! It gathers together and rages through the valleys, leaping over the banks, breaking down the walls, destroying every barrier! A terrible deluge! 
Behold, the trees are fallen and torn from their places, their branches broken and mangled, their roots laid bare! Unrecognizable!

 
Thus is the wrath of God, 
Thus is the Day of The Lord’s Anger:

Destruction in a moment, a tearing down, 
A wiping away, a great threshing, 
A carrying away of all that offends!...

Until all that is hidden is exposed, 
And that which is high and lofty 
Is brought low...

Until every fruitful hill is made barren, 
And every lush valley is stripped 
And bares neither leaf nor fruit…

Darkness, thick clouds and darkness...

The shadow of death. 

==Providence==
 
My people are a strange and peculiar people. Indeed, they are accounted by the multitude as those who are of unsound mind. Yet My servants are men of action, men with strong trust, men of clout in The Lord; men who are unwavering in My purpose who also care for those given them, willing to go wheresoever I send them, unafraid to do whatever is needful. 
Yet the plight of the slothful shall be filled with troubles, as the sun sets upon their need. For in their listlessness they were unaware and did not seek after My will, to know it, nor have they risen up to walk in that which I have spoken already. Thus providence is drawn back, until the sluggard has no place. 
Have I not spoken to these things already, in many Letters? Have I not revealed My will and that in which I am most pleased, by My many words? And still My people draw back from My voice and My servants sit idle and fold the hands, closing their eyes to their need while forsaking those placed under their care, both those near to them and those afar off, says The Lord. 

==The True Church==
 
I am The Church - Its walls, its pews, 
Its pulpit, its altar, its very foundation.

When sitting in My church, you can behold Heaven; 
There is no ceiling to keep you from enlightenment.

And if I am your sanctuary, your four walls of faith, 
Your resting place of worship, The Word and the Spirit, 
The Stone upon which all must be broken, 
The Very Cornerstone of Life, 
Then Heaven is open before the eyes of all 
Who dwell in Me and become My body... 
 
Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==Charity==
 
Comfort the sick, lift up the downtrodden, and visit those in prison; clothe the naked, shelter the homeless, and above all feed the hungry; do so in My name. For in Me shall all find comfort, exaltation, companionship, warm coverings and sanctuary from the storm; even food and drink for their soul shall they receive in Me. For all these things are the very definition and purpose of love.

 
Thus as I am, so also were you created...

Understand Love.

For in My love were you created, 
To receive and to give; 
And in the giving does one also receive.

Therefore, love one another 
As I have loved you, 
Says The Lord your Redeemer. 

==Without Hesitation==
 
Blessed are My servants who seek to 
Obey My commands without hesitation, 
For their trust is apparent; 
Blessed are those who seek to please Me, 
For in them am I well pleased.

For no man can step forward without trust, 
And one who is void of belief is 
Consumed by doubt and fear. 
And I have already told you that pride blinds 
The eyes and arrogance stops the ears.

Therefore let My servants step 
Forward without hesitation, and ask, 
That their blessing may be compounded 
And their belief increased!... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==Steadfast Faith==
 
Blessed is the wise and faithful servant, 
Who gives no thought to how they are 
Perceived in the eyes of others.

For they obey My voice, 
And are not dismayed by the looks 
Of those who judge without knowledge.

Indeed, they seek only to please their Master, 
Having no need of the approval of others... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==Perseverance==
 
There can be no birth apart from travail, 
For birth is always accompanied 
By much travail.

Yet oh how blessed are those 
Who persevere with their hearts 
Fixed upon the goal, enduring the pain, 
For they shall surely receive their reward... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==One Body==
 
This is the way of The Lord...

That one in need in My body 
Be supported by their brothers and sisters, 
With all members becoming one...

One body, in Me...

That he who is able to walk in Me 
Dwell alongside those who are weak, 
For they are in need of strengthening...

Lo, you shall all wash each other’s feet!...

Even as I do likewise 
Through you and amongst you, 
To the praise of My glory... 
 
Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==Devotion==
 
Of My servants I require obedience, with all trust, 
Pure service in The Lord...

An eager servant willing to obey without hesitation, 
Even when they lack understanding; 
A humble servant who remains in My love, 
A disciple who has breathed Me in...

A devoted son or daughter who loves Me more than these... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==Unrestrained==
 
Consider this, says The Lord; ponder it and also receive it: By good works you will not find Me, yet good works are found in Me. And by My works shall you begin to know Me, for My works shall be done in you.
Yet understand this also: Where human power is, pride follows close behind. Yet one who surrenders to The Lord will be given eagle’s wings. Yea nothing shall be impossible for them, for I shall be with them and in them, says The Lord.
In that day, wheresoever I am will My servants be also, and wheresoever I go My servants will follow. And whatsoever I decree will be done in an instant, and those who are chosen will go for Me without hesitation, and that which I speak in this place will be heard in another. And no more shall My servants be restrained, by any means! Declares The Lord. For it is I, The King of Glory, who has spoken it. 

==Blurred Vision==
 
One who answers a matter in the name of The Lord, while being ignorant or unsure, is foolish. And one who judges a matter without knowledge leans upon pride, wearing pretense as a garment. 
Thus the one who steps in front of Me shall surely stumble, and the one who seats himself upon My throne shall be cast down. For pride does indeed come before the fall, and those who judge without knowledge shall be made to sit upon the ground. I AM THE LORD. 

==Responsibility==
 
One who does not take responsibility 
For their wrong-doings can by 
No means place them at My feet; 
And until one faces their hurts, 
By no means can I heal them.

For the placing of blame turns the shoulder, 
And reluctancy hinders the heart.

Yet perfect love casts out fear, 
And the one who truly knows Me trusts 
In My ways and embraces My correction... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==The Broken and the Proud==
 
The broken sinner who repents, I know. Yet the prideful man who considers himself righteous, I do not know. Indeed, he shall be found a liar in the Day of Reckoning. For there is none righteous, no not one, save The Son of Man only. 
Therefore I ask you, shall the broken sinner be justified in his need, in his fervent desire? He shall indeed be justified in My sight! For I shall clothe him with righteousness and cover him with grace. In his times of weakness My strength shall sustain him, and in My love shall he be made whole. Behold, by My life is he healed! 
Yet the proud resist Me, and the arrogant want no part with Me as I truly am. For they have clothed themselves with the glory of men, a quickly fading flower. Their comfort is in their riches, and their solace is in their accomplishments, which shall leave them soiled and bruised in the day of their calamity, says The Lord.
 

==The Love of The Truth==
 
Truth is self-evident in the eyes 
Of all those who love The Truth.

Indeed, it resounds within the ears of all those 
Who have received of The Truth, 
In whom My spirit dwells... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==Uncovered==

 
Truth is evident in My eyes, and a lie is never hidden. Therefore, let no one place their unrighteous cause upon the backs of the children, when a wrong is accounted only to the one who performed it. Neither let the disobedience of the one be covered over by the needs of the many. For I have seen it; lo, all is known to Me. 
Therefore let My people be tested, let them be refined in the fire, that the quality of their trust and the endurance of their belief may be revealed, says The Holy One of Israel. 

==The Holy Place==
 
Beloved, there is a language of which 
You know nothing about, says The Lord... 

A language which is pure and beautiful, 
A language in need of no words at all; 
A language which you shall soon come to know, 
A language which I have revealed 
To My servant already... 

A language of overwhelming love, pure and undefiled, 
Bringing forth much understanding; 
A language of power and great glory, 
In which all My servants shall come to stand... 

The unspoken Word of God received in the presence 
Of The Almighty, The Holiest of Holies, 
Revealing the essence of who I am... 

Union in The Spirit of God... 

A place beyond time and space, beyond the knowledge 
Contained within creation, surpassing all boundaries, 
A place even angels long to know... 

The place where I am and have always been seated, 
Where you shall be also... 

A place without time, The Eternal, 
The Bosom of The Father[https://www.thevolumesoftruth.com/In_The_Bosom_of_The_Father], of which I AM... 

Says The Lord YahuShua. 

==A Return to the Garden==
 
Thus says The Lord: Behold, The Morning Star is risen, the universe is filled with His glory! And that glory shall abide with men, even in them and among them. I shall be a Father unto them, and they shall be My beloved children, forever! Lo, a return to innocence, paradise lost is paradise found, a return to the garden, the universe your playground.

 
Thus as I have spoken, so shall it be done:

The mystery of God revealed, 
The counting of days no more...

Forever young in the presence 
Of your Shepherd, your Redeemer, 
Your Father, your Brother, 
Your Most Beloved Friend, 
The Fulfillment of all things 
For which your hearts have groaned...

I AM THE MEANING OF LIFE!...

And all who live in Me, and I in them, 
WILL LIVE FOREVER! 

==Reformation==
 
Why does the heathen rage and shake his fist toward Heaven? Behold, he shall fall with none to catch him, and great shall be his fall! Yet the one who reaches for Me shall be lifted up, and the one who extends the hand shall know My dwelling place.

 
For as it is written:

Whoever has, to him more will be given, 
And he shall have an abundance...

But whoever does not have, 
Even what he has shall be taken away,[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+13%3A12&version=NKJV] 
Until the Time of Reformation is complete... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==The Kingdom==
 
The Kingdom of God is a garden...

Set apart from the many schemes of the adversary, 
A place of rest free of briers and thorns...

A Sabbath...

A holy place which shall never pass away, 
Where no one lies down in death, 
Nor shall any be made to slumber...

My people shall never be covered over again, 
For the old order of things has passed away! 
Behold, all things have become new!... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==The Word of Truth==
 
My Word is truth! And that which requires understanding shall be given to those of a contrite heart and a humble spirit. For those who love Me obey My Commandments, and those who remember My Sabbaths honor Me and shall know Wisdom. Therefore consider these things carefully.

 
For I have indeed prepared
a place for those who seek Me, 
For those who long to know Me as I truly am...

A place for all those accepted in The Beloved, 
In whom My spirit dwells...

The Kingdom without end... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==Faith Without Works Is Dead==
 
Let all those who truly know Me 
Proclaim My name first by their ways, 
Then with their mouths...

For honor only spoken of is but wind, 
The veil of the hypocrite who knows not 
Where he is going, having no remorse 
Over where he has been... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==Faith AND Works==
 
What is faith without works? 
Nothing, a lie spoken in vain. 
 
And what of works without faith? 
Vanity, a false good covering a heart 
Which has turned from The Truth... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==Just==
 
The justice of God is beyond question, 
Standing forever in its permanency, 
Unwavering for all time... 
 
Righteous. 

==God Is Sovereign==
 
God is sovereign, His judgment stands.

Therefore, let the penitent be rewarded equally 
To their forgiveness, which is equal.

And let all evil unrepented be punished in accordance 
With evil’s deeds, the final penalty of which 
Has remained equal even to this day.

The Lord does not change. 

==Intentions==
 
Where there are righteous works, there are also those 
Who seek to spoil them for the sake of pride and envy. 
And where there is pure knowledge, there are also 
Those who defile it among women. 

Yet the ignorance of the meek is no cause for offense, 
Nor shall the error of the humble bring forth rebuke. 

For I know the heart and look upon the innermost intentions... 

Says The Lord.

==Forgive==
 
Blessed are those who do not return 
Evil for evil, or reviling for reviling, 
But rather pray for their enemies.

Blessed are those who hold no ill-will 
In their heart toward another.

Indeed, blessed are all those who 
Forgive everyone who has sinned against them.

For great shall be their reward in Heaven... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==A Heavy Stone==
 
Those who refuse My correction are foolish, 
And must walk through dry places.

And those who refuse to repent have 
Secured their place in the valley of death.

For the pride of man is a heavy stone, 
Which increases by weight each day 
It remains unbroken... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==Insolent Cords==
 
Insolent cords bind the proud, 
And rebellion is a rope by which 
The foolish hang themselves... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==The Word of God==
 
The Lord your God is a consuming fire, My every word a purifying flame! The presence of The Lord is an oppressive storm, which abases the proud and causes the high-minded to flee! And that which I have spoken to this generation, is it not a sword with which I shall strike to the heart of this people?! For I shall surely set all these crooked paths straight, and burn away the dross!

 
Yet for those who trust in Me and in whom My spirit dwells, 
My words are like a strong tower set in the midst of battle, 
Which can in no wise be broken down!... 

A great trumpet blowing upon the hill outside the city, 
Which echoes throughout the waste places! 
A waving banner for this generation, a bright light, 
A beacon, shining in the midst of this present darkness!... 

A rod of justice for the oppressed and the persecuted, 
A loosening of the chains placed upon My people, 
The breaking apart of every shackle!... 

Freedom for those who love Me, 
Deliverance for those who understand, 
Strength for the weak, grace to the humble, 
Manna to nourish the penitent... 

Says The Lord. 

==My Witnesses and My Word==
 
Thus says The Lord: My words shall be as fire in the mouths of My witnesses, singeing the ears of every hearer! My words shall carry the full weight of My spirit and be very heavy!

 
Behold, I shall cause My words to have weight and power!...

Weight as a man feels when struggling against the power of the sea, 
The waves pushing him backward, toppling him, throwing him down, 
Until he has no more breath left in him...

As the wind knocked out of a man 
When he has been struck hard upon the chest, 
Leaving him in stunned silence, unable to speak, 
For all his thoughts have departed from him...

FOR I SHALL CAUSE MY STRENGTH TO DWELL 
IN MY WORDS LIKE THE ROARING OF THE SEA! 

==Pride==
 
Only those who know they are sick 
Seek out The Physician.

Yet those who perceive themselves as well 
Will in no wise come to Me, keeping Me at bay; 
They remain seated firmly in the darkness 
Of their own understanding, 
Resting upon their laurels by which 
They have highly esteemed themselves... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==Stained Glass==
 
One who peers through stained glass can not behold 
His own image, nor is he able to see those inside clearly; 
For he sees only an outline, a blur of color obscuring his vision. 

And those on the inside who peer outward remain blinded, 
Able to perceive only a shadow of what truly is, 
Holding up the hand against the brightness, 
For fear of the noonday sun which is about to come in. 

Thus they prefer the light filtered and the brilliance masked, 
By means of all this painted glass. 

What then shall a people such as this do when night has fallen?... 

Says The Lord. 

==The Humble, Penitent Man==
 
It is the humble, penitent man 
Who gives Me glory in all his ways; 
For he seeks to honor Me, 
To please Me above all else.

He wants no part in the ways of this world, 
Neither does he seek glory for himself; 
By his actions he shines forth, 
Seeking glory for The One alone who is God.

Thus the man who places Me foremost, 
In all things, shall also be first 
When The Glory comes... 
 
Says The Lord. 

==The King Eternal==
 
Behold, the footsteps of The Lord shake the earth! The footsteps of The Lord shall tread the winepress of the wrath of His fury! The presence of The Lord shall break apart the tall mountains; His power shall bring down every mountain, every high place shall be brought low! For the presence of The Lord is strong and mighty, and the anger of The Lord is hot and burns in the heat of His jealousy! Who can turn back The Lord’s anger, once it is kindled? Who can prevent The Most High from performing His will?! Whose glory is like The Lord’s?! 
Who comes as The King above all kings wearing the raiment of God, whose majesty is beyond compare?! Who is able to stand in the day of His wrath, or survive the power of His sword which proceeds from His mouth, the day He strikes through the heart of all people and lays His enemies waste, the day every adversary is consumed in the brightness of His coming?! For He is mighty in battle and His justice is swift, His victory absolute! 

 
Who is The King of Glory?!

YahuShua HaMashiach, HE is The King of Glory! 
His power is infinite, His love never-ending!

HE is The King Everlasting, 
The King of Righteousness!

His grace is shed abroad to 
Every contrite and humble spirit; 
His forgiveness is pure, ever-flowing 
Into the hearts of the penitent, 
Restoring them to righteousness and life!

Yes, He is The One and Only King Eternal! 
There is no other, there is none like Him! 

==In Union With The Messiah==
 
Beloved, there is a day coming when you shall enter My presence and never leave it, a day when you shall behold My face, says The Lord. And wheresoever your heart leads you, there will I be also, with you always where you are. Whether you journey to the heights of the mountains, or to the farthest reaches of creation, there I am, with you where you are. Beloved, all creation is Mine, and all I have is yours. For you are Mine, even as I am yours also... Together, forever. 

For the glory you have seen, and that which you have imagined, has until now been measured in a human way. Yet the glory of The Lord is of such a kind! Glory which has always been, glory with no beginning and no end, having neither height, nor depth, nor length, nor width. For My glory is life and that love we share, a gift of understanding which comes by knowledge of The Holy; glory which can not yet be fully realized, nor are there words sufficient to open your understanding... Fulfillment, which only comes by union. 

==My Love Endures Forever==
 
Long after the glory of men has passed away, with the height 
Of their kingdoms turned to dust, My love endures! 

Long after the stars you behold in the heavens 
Have ceased from shining, My love endures! 

Deeper and wider than space and time, My love endures! 

Even before creation, My love endures; and after, My love remains. 

For I shall be your God, and you shall be My people, 
As long as My love endures... 

Says The Lord. 

==I AM GOD==
 
I am He who formed the earth and all you see in the heavens, He who set the foundations and called creation forth by the Word of His power and the vastness of His knowledge, causing all things to be! 
I made the matrix, and set all things in order; I am He who formed it! I know all the hidden parts; even the most minute detail, by which all things are made, is known to Me! Behold, I see the inward parts; from the innermost depths to that which can not be seen by man, all is known to Me! 
Before Me is the whole of creation at all times! No distance is far from Me, no measure is too great for Me, and no weight is too heavy. That which is beyond your comprehension is known to Me each morning, and every evening I behold the whole of creation and consider. For I am The Lord. YAHUWAH is My name. 

==The Volumes of Truth==
 
Thus says The Lord: Beloved, this Word, even every Volume to every Letter, is the Word of My glory, which I have put forth once again - A testament of My love and sacrifice, the announcement of My coming, a proclamation of truth, revelation of who I really am! The Trumpet Call of God, so all those called and chosen may hear and come to Me in their proper time and season. 
Behold, it is also a strong correction for all those who have taken to themselves MY name and MY Word, to pollute it, a plumb line for this wicked generation! For this Word is a waving banner, an ensign to all nations! - A trumpet of alarm and war, the sound of recompense and judgment, which shall soon fall upon every nation!

 
For I AM WHO I AM! 
The Only Begotten of The Father! 
The One True God and Savior! 
The Mashiach!...

YAHUSHUA-YAHUWAH! 

==Keep Watch==
 
Thus declares The Lord: All your setting of dates shall come to nothing, and all your precise predictions shall fail, for I may take them before or after. For I am God. 
Behold, the first election is made, the time of bundling passed. Thick clouds have risen in the west, the hard rains have come, and who in all the earth is able to prevent it as it draws near, or hinder it when it arrives? Lo, a mighty wind blows in the east, yet who is aware of it until it has overtaken them? 
Therefore keep watch, for you know not the time of The Lord’s coming. Whether it be in the first, or in the second, or in the third watch of the night, you know not the time of His return. You know not the day or the hour, says The Lord. 

==AWAKEN==
 
The mountains tremble and the hills quiver, the oxen grumble in their stalls and the lambs leap about in their places. FOR I AM COME. 
Do you hear the sound of My heart pounding within My chest, the thunder rumbling as the storm approaches? Look how the lightning flashes upon the southern skies, see how the clouds roil on the western horizon. Behold, the northern lands are anxious, the isles of the east are unsettled and the deserts burn with hatred. FOR I AM COME. 
Behold, the trumpet is blown in the four corners, the warning broadcast in all the earth, and still you sleep! AWAKEN! I AM COME! Says The Lord.

==One Lord, One God, One Savior==
2/25/14 Wisdom Given to Timothy 
For All Those Who Have Ears to Hear 
(Regarding the assertion that calling YAHUWAH or YAHUSHUA “God” and “Lord” is wrong)

 
There is one God and Father, one Lord who causes to be - YAHUWAH. There is one Savior, The Only Begotten of The Father, by whom all things consist - YAHUSHUA. And they are ONE.

If then, there is only one Lord, one God and one Savior, and in our language He is called “Lord” and “God”, then would not calling anyone or anything else “Lord” or “God”, whether a false god or a man, be blasphemy? 
Does not The Lord Himself search our hearts and minds, even our innermost thoughts and intentions? Does He not know who we are referring to, when we say “Jesus is Lord”? Even throughout the world, believers and unbelievers alike know the name “Jesus”<ref>“Yet understand this: In times past I overlooked the ignorance of the people. Yet now I command all people everywhere to repent in sincerity and in truth.[A] In like manner, I have overlooked the ignorance of those who call The Messiah by another name. Yet now I command all who have ears to hear, to call upon His name as it is, was, and has always been, and not as they presume it to be.[B] Indeed I am calling all tribes, tongues, peoples and nations to embrace Him as He truly is, and not as the churches of men would have Him be, says The Lord.” (From “[[Death and Deliverance]]”)
A. Acts 17:30 B. Zephaniah 3:9</ref> (a name given to YahuShua by men) refers to He who was crucified and rose from the dead. And if we say YAHUSHUA is YAHUWAH, is this not also self-evident? 
Even before the earth was made, there is ONE alone who was and is and has always been THE LORD ABSOLUTE, which by definition demands there can be only one. Thus all others, whether man, false deity or carved image, referred to as “Lord” in English or in any other language, are false! - Deceivers! Impostors! Idols! - To call any of these “Lord” is blasphemy, even on the highest order!


For thus has The Lord spoken:

One God...

One Son, The Only Way to The Father...

One Truth, One Word, One Messiah, One Spirit; 
One Food, One Bread and One Drink...

One Body...

Of which I am all, 
The All in All.

The Parable of The Great Landowner and His Beloved Sheep

__TOC__ 

==The Parable of The Great Landowner and His Beloved Sheep==
7/23/11 A Parable Given to Timothy 
For All Those Who Have Ears to Hear

 
The Kingdom of Heaven is like a landowner who had a large field full of sheep, sheep of every kind and many young lambs. The landowner loved his sheep and treasured his young lambs. 
Yet in his field, he noticed that many sheep had become ill due to disease, and others had wandered off. Behold, many wolves were there also, stealing his sheep and killing his lambs. Therefore he sent his chief shepherd into the field, to call to his sheep and to every lamb, to gather them together. He was told to wait as long as possible, that every sheep who had wandered off might have a chance to hear the call, and return. 
The shepherd waited patiently, until all who knew the sound of His voice had gathered to him. Then at the time appointed, the shepherd took them out of the field, setting them in safety, apart from all that offends. Then the landowner came forth from his house, in great anger and haste, and slew every ravaging wolf and burned the field with fire, purging it of all disease.

Therefore, let those who have ears to hear, hear, and also understand: The Chief Shepherd is sent into the field already, and shall also come and finish His work. Lo, He has entered the field and gathers them together. Yet the sheep do not depart, until The Shepherd calls them through the gate. Then will they be gone from this place.

6/5/11 A Vision Given to Timothy 
For All Those Who Have Eyes to See and Ears to Hear

 
[YahuShua]  Timothy, what do you see?

 
[Timothy]  I see, Lord! I see! I am in the temple, facing outward toward the entrance. The doors are opening and the brilliance of Your glory is flooding the room. Before me is the altar, and upon it I see a white napkin. It is being folded without hands. There is water being poured out of the air just above it. The water is beautiful and sparkling. It is being poured upon the napkin, but doesn’t seem to be reaching it... Lord, I am thirsty. May I drink from this fountain?

 
[YahuShua]  You may not yet drink from it. It is reserved for the bride at the time appointed.

 
[Timothy]  Lord, I am very thirsty.

 
[YahuShua]  Take the napkin in your hand. Is it not wet, My son?

 
[Timothy]  Yes, Lord.

 
[YahuShua]  From it shall you drink. Place it flat in your hand, and bring it to your lips when you thirst. Inhale deeply through your nose, then place the napkin between your lips and drink. Drink deeply, My son, for it is time. 
Now place it within the pocket of your robe and take it with you, that you may also wring it out on the thirsty; share it with all you meet. For the dampness thereof shall never run dry, no matter the number of times you use it; nor will it wear thin, nor tear, nor can its surface be blemished.

 
[Timothy]  Thank You, Lord.

 
[Timothy]  Lord, I see you in front of me! I see the back of You!... YahuShua!

 
[YahuShua]  Follow Me.<ref>Note: As He said the words, “Follow Me,” He walked into a bright light. I was moving toward Him, but I was not walking or using my legs. The vision ended, just short of the temple doors. His presence lifted, and His voice became quiet.</ref>

==Fear God, and Put All Your Trust in The Holy One==
12/13/10 An Exhortation from Timothy 
For All Those Who Have Ears to Hear

 
The heart of The Lord is angered by what He has seen and enraged by what He has heard. The heat of His fury shall melt the high places and turn the wicked to ash, scattering them upon the waste places. 
Behold, the wrath of God burns like the terrible mountain. It builds and is about to burst forth from its hold. It comes forth as roiling clouds and thunder, and with great swiftness it rushes down the slopes, releasing its fury upon all in the path of its destruction. It is great and very dreadful, a suffocating plague covering the cities. 
For ages it has been silent, building strength. For a multitude of days, its terrible heat has been restrained, its great power hidden beneath the weight of the mountain, ready to break forth in due season, bringing great calamity at the time appointed. 
For of such is the indignation of The Father, of such is the strength of The Son. For the strength of The Son is manifest in His glory and by the power of His Word spoken in judgment - a sharp double-edged sword unsheathed, striking all nations who gather against Him, piercing blows dividing them asunder, consuming fire from The Almighty upon all His enemies. 
For the Day of The Lord is here, and is about to come in. Behold, the Great Day is near, and who shall stand? Who shall prevent the hand of The Mashiach from gathering His own? Who can endure the Day of His Anger, or prevent The Holy One from coming in His strength? What army can withstand Him or the power of His sword? For they shall all be as wax before the fire, when the power and brilliance of The Lord is put on open display.

Therefore fear God, and put all your trust in The Holy One. For the power of The Father is displayed through The Son. For He is the express image of The Holy, The Salvation of God - He whose hand reaches far and wide, whose strength is almighty, whose wisdom holds all creation in His understanding, whose love endures forever; He whose righteousness comes and had been stretched out before us, for every eye to see, the end of which shall be as a flood cleansing the sanctuary of His mercy, restoring all things, even to a new heavens and a new earth. 
Behold, it is time for the power of God to be made known, for the name of The Holy One of Israel to be glorified above the heights of the mountains, to overshadow every hill! It is time for The King to return and gather, to reveal the glory of His might! - Immanu El!

 
Yes YAHUSHUA, The Rock, 
The Stone Everlasting, is coming quickly 
To strike the great image, to break apart 
Every foundation, to spread forth like a flood, 
Until only The Great Mountain remains!<ref>Daniel 2</ref>...

Then shall they know, 
The Father and The Son are one!...

Behold, the earth shall be full of 
The knowledge of YAHUWAH’s glory, 
As the water covers the depths of the sea!<ref>Isaiah 11:9</ref>...

For as it is written, so shall it be...

Maranatha!

7/5/10 An Exhortation from Timothy 
For All Those Who Have Ears to Hear 
Addendum to “[https://www.thevolumesoftruth.com/The_Alarm_of_War#The_Alarm_of_War The Alarm of War]”

 
Behold, The Everlasting had come down to us, Immanu El; yes, God in the flesh, YahuShua, the express image of The Holy, the face of The Invisible God, He through whom all things were brought forth and by whom all things consist. And behold, He shall strike the great image and break apart the nations. For He is The Kingdom, The Power and The Glory! 
Therefore woe to the inhabitants of the earth, for The Holy One is coming to take His spoil and to pour out judgment. Behold, He shall pour out, until the wrath of God is complete. He shall roar mightily in battle and shake the earth! 
For the earth trembles at His coming and heaves at His presence. It collapses before the power of His vesture and gives way, breaking apart under His feet. The islands flee away before the power of His might, and the mountains crumble at the backward swipe of His hand. For the footsteps of The Lord shall quake upon the earth, until all in the earth are humbled, until every inhabitant falls down heavily and confesses Him King, The Only Lord of Hosts...

Behold the power of God’s right hand! Tremble in fear before the might of His Holy One and shed many tears! For the feet of The Son of Man shall tread heavily upon the earth! He shall tread upon great and mighty nations, and the slain of The Lord shall be great, many ten-thousands cut asunder by the sword of His mouth! Fear The Lord, therefore! Humble yourselves in the sight of The King!

==Atonement==
2010 Wisdom Given to Timothy 
For The Lord’s Little Flock, and For All Those Who Have Ears to Hear 
(Regarding The Day of Atonement)

 
Let this day be an offering of abstinence in purity to The Lord, a giving of thanks for your sins atoned for by The Messiah YahuShua; not atonement for your sins, of yourselves, but a free will offering in the name of The Lord your God and Him crucified, rejoicing in the anticipation of The Blessed Hope. 
And behold, He shall sit upon the throne of His glory and judge the nations. He shall utterly destroy all wickedness from this world, wiping away all that is sin and that which has led His people astray.

 
And that which was shut shall be opened, 
And that which was open shall be shut in that Day, 
Says The Lord.

Remember The Sabbath Day, to Keep It Holy

==Remember The Sabbath Day, to Keep It Holy==
2/15/07 Wisdom Given to Timothy 
For All Those Who Have Ears to Hear

 
If one who loves The Lord dedicates a certain day to The Lord, yet is ignorant regarding the Fourth Commandment, or has been led astray by false teaching in the churches of men, then to The Lord the day is indeed dedicated. For this is acceptable and well-pleasing to The Lord, because of the intent of their heart; to them it will be accounted as righteousness. 
Yet if another who is not ignorant of the truth, and was not led astray by the churches of men, comes forward and says, “I also dedicate this certain day to The Lord,” and it is the correct day, the seventh (Saturday), according to the Fourth Commandment, but does so as a mere outward display to gain honor for themselves, elevating themselves above others, judging those they perceive as less worthy because of their error, to them it shall be accounted as shame. For though they kept the Sabbath outwardly, they did not keep it inwardly, nor to The Lord was it truly dedicated, having not kept the Sabbath at all. 
Yet the one who remains humble and sincere, though they are in error, will in time see the Truth, and keep the Seventh Day holy as it is written.<ref>Exodus 20:8-11</ref> For they had already kept it in their heart. For it is far easier to move someone whose heart is in the right place to the correct day, than to move someone with a wrong heart to a place that is right, if they feel they already abide there.

Yet remember this: All who have been awakened to the Truth must now walk in it...

For thus says The Lord: Beloved, walk uprightly in Me, in My very footsteps. Abide in My doctrine, according to the faith and knowledge you have received in Me. Progress toward perfection, with all trust. Keep The Commandments, as you testify to the Truth by your example. Yet no more walk in the ways of this world, nor in the doctrines and traditions of the churches, for they are corrupt; obey not the commandments of men.

 
Beloved, seek and you shall surely find, 
For all you need is written for your 
Edification in the Scriptures of Truth...

And behold, even by these many Letters, 
Which are of the same, have I set 
All these crooked paths straight... 
Says The Lord.

==Tithing==
1/26/07 Wisdom Given to Timothy 
For a Sister in Christ, and For All Those Who Have Ears to Hear

 
Abraham gave a tenth of all he had to Melchizedek, king of Salem; and later a portion was also given of the tribes of Israel to the Levites, so they may serve God without hindrance. 
Yet today the voice of God is not with His people as it was then, for it is written: The heart of this people has waxed gross, their ears are very dull of hearing and their eyes they have shut, lest at any time they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears and understand with their heart, and be fully converted, and I should heal them, says The Lord.<ref>Isaiah 6:10; Matthew 13:15; Acts 28:27</ref> 
Therefore give directly to the poor, as your heart leads you, for this is well-pleasing to The Lord. For no servant of God shall profit by monetary means, but shall profit only by that which The Lord gives. And what He gives is true, and in no wise is it of men or mammon.

For thus says The Lord: Beloved, I delight in that which one gives to another in My name, and by the works of their own hands and feet in all righteousness; this is the tithe in which I delight most. 
Therefore if one comes to you, saying, “Give me a cup of water,” give them a drink in My name.<ref>Mark 9:41</ref> And if another comes, saying, “I need clothes, for I am cold and naked,” clothe them<ref>Matthew 25:36-40</ref>, and give them your coat also.<ref>Matthew 5:40</ref> And if this same one asks, “Will you walk with me this far?” Go with them double.<ref>Matthew 5:41</ref>

 
Therefore tithe not only of your money 
And material possessions, but also 
Of your strength and your time, 
As one willing to give up 
Their life for My sake...

For this is to truly know Me...

This is to walk in Me, in My very footsteps, 
And to love your neighbor as yourself<ref>Matthew 22:39</ref>, 
Says The Lord YahuShua.

==My Redeemer Lives==
4/11/06 A Prayer of Timothy 
For All Those Who Have Ears to Hear

 My God, my God, You are holy! Oh my Redeemer, my beloved Savior, YahuShua, by Your blood am I washed from sin’s raiment, which had clothed me in death. By Your sacrifice You freed me, Your great love has broken my bonds. Behold, a new light has appeared where once there was only darkness, the flame which flickered burns bright once again, for in my heart You have kindled a fire! And Your words, Lord, Your beautiful words, they are truly a lamp for my feet. And by following Your teaching, I have begun to unleaven my life; though by Your sacrifice, You have already freed me from the power of sin. O Lord, YOU are my righteousness! I will obey Your Word! And though I stumble, I will not cease from striving to obey; I want to do what is pleasing in Your sight; help me walk in Your ways. I feel Your hand upon me, O Lord. I offer myself to You, my Lord and my God. Take my life; it’s Yours! You offered Yourself up to suffering and death, on account of what I have done. I deserve my punishment, yet You bore my sins on the tree, even the sins of those I love. I can not approach Your love, but by any and all means, I shall strive to show You my love and my gratitude. I leave my heart open to You; mold it, create in me a pure heart, for I long to see Your face. Renew in me a right spirit, that I may be steadfast for Your purpose and walk in Your ways. You are the love of my life, of which I had forgotten. How wealthy I was in my innocence, how blessed I was in my youth. How could I have departed?! How could I have turned away?! I weep, I cry, because of that place which was left barren inside me, a place the world could never fill, leaving me broken and void - my heart hardened, my countenance bitter. Yet You filled me with wonder and awe, a love I never thought possible - My heart softened, my countenance lifted, my spirit brightened, as Your life rushed in. And Your voice, the beautiful sound of Your voice... Lord, You stir my soul, You light my soul on fire, a love which this world has not known. Why, O Lord, do You bless me so?! I have sinned greatly in my life; I have broken Your Commandments, and desecrated Your name and this temple You gave me, yet You never forsook me. What have I done to deserve such mercy, such unfathomable joy, such overwhelming love in Your presence? You are my Lord and my God, my life! The sound of Your name, even mentioned in a whisper, brings tears to my eyes. The pronouncement of Your judgment terrifies my soul, yet I welcome it and feel safe. You are so utterly beautiful! I love You. I love You! I can not stand, I fall to my knees, I am so completely unworthy of Your grace, yet by Your grace You saved me - a broken vessel of great dishonor, yet You gathered me up, reviving me, breathing life into me once again, restoring my soul. My God, oh my God, You are The Holy! None compare! No one! Nothing! Lord, I shall wait for You, I will stand firm for You, unyielding in my commitment! I am only a man, yet I know You are with me.
 Lord, I put You to death, You bore my sin in Your own body;  You were broken and bruised for my transgressions,  And by Your stripes am I healed...
Before I was born, You knew me and died for me,  Though I did not ask You.
 Oh my Lord, how many tears must I cry?! How many times can I say, “I love You”?! I shall never cease! With my dying breath, I will proclaim my love for You! And if it is Your will that I not die, I shall sing of my Beloved forever, even forever and ever; I shall trumpet it to every tribe, tongue, people and nation! Give the command and show me the way; fill my heart with Your spirit, O Lord, take control of my mouth! Speak, oh my Lord! Shout, oh my God! Make me a vessel of honor, that I may bring glory to Your name! Lord, lift me up from my wickedness, for I am wretched. Deliver me from this body of death, for my flesh deceives me, I have gone astray. Set Your Truth within me, O Lord; purge my soul! In the name of YahuShua I beseech You; break me by the power of Your words, destroy me with Your love, let me die in Your presence! Lord, cultivate Your Word in me, let the dew of Heaven cover my shame and wash away all I have done. O Lord, set me upright. For I can not raise my head, lest I look upon Your glory. I can not stand, my strength is gone from me. Yet in my weakness, I know Your strength is made perfect; yes, Lord, Your grace is sufficient for me. Light my path, O Lord, for I walk in darkness. I feel the adversary on every side, he bruises me... Help me, O God! In the name of Him crucified, in the name of Him who was hung on the tree, The Greatest of All Loves, be my help and my shield! I am but a lost child, Lord. I am consumed with fear and sadness, when I do not hear Your voice. I am swallowed up in sorrow, when I am not in Your presence. For I have heard the voice of The Holy One, I have felt Your hand upon me. I am just a man, so very unclean, yet You embrace me. Woe is me, Lord! Woe is me! Surely my eyes shall go blind, for I have looked upon Your glory, I have beheld Your image! The earth has become pale, an empty wasteland, for I have seen The King! Shut my eyes, Lord, let me never open them again, let me never forget! Stop my ears also, for I have heard Your voice! Yet even now, I hear You comforting me, saying, “What The Lord has cleansed is worthy. Call it not unworthy. Rejoice, O son of men, you have been redeemed from the earth as part of the special offering. Again I say, rejoice, and sound the trumpet, for The Redemption draws near.”
 O Lord, how shall I thank You for all You have done?  I haven’t the words to express my gratitude For what You did for me on the cross; I am forever indebted to You...
You are my Passover,  You rescued me from death, You restored my soul...
Oh my God, my God, In the name of YahuShua my Savior,  I say, amen, forever amen...  
MY REDEEMER LIVES!

2/6/06 Wisdom Given to Timothy 
For All Those Who Have Ears to Hear

 
YahuShua is The Gift; in Him is life. All others lead only to darkness and death, a fleeing away from The True Light, which is YahuShua The Messiah. For He is the wonderful new thing born of a virgin, as it is written.<ref>Isaiah 9:6; Isaiah 43:19; Isaiah 7:14</ref> Behold, He is the fulfillment of all things, The Only Messiah and Lord, fulfilling all written and spoken of Him from the beginning - the very same as God, begotten as The Son, Immanu El. 
He is also The Word, which is and was and is to come, The Word of God Almighty. For by The Word are you saved, and by this same Word shall the wicked be destroyed. For they have rejected The Author of Life, and want no part with Him through Whom they were made. Thus they have chosen death and not Life - their inheritance lost, their names blotted out. 
For though He was God in the flesh, He gave Himself up to the smiters, that all nations under God might be saved through Him; He being the foundation and fulfillment of all prophecy, the end of which is The Kingdom. For He is The Kingdom, The Power and The Glory, and by Him alone shall you enter in, sharing in His life and His joy, forever and ever.

Thus as the stars in the heavens are beyond the numbering of men, a glory beyond our understanding, so also is the Glory of The Messiah. For He, being The Only Begotten of The Father, is also the fulfillment of The Word of God and the prophets throughout all generations, the fulfillment of which is also beyond the reason and comprehension of men. 
Therefore let these things fulfilled in The Son of Man, though mentioned in few, be for a sign to awaken the slumberers. Yet to those of greater understanding, who have been awakened to the knowledge of these things fulfilled in The Son of Man, prophesied, coming to light as a multitude, let it be a wonder. 
Yet to those who are fully awake, who having received the knowledge and love of the Truth, knowing The Messiah fulfills all in every sense, in all manner, every word written, every word spoken, every action within and without, being altogether The All in All of all things, let it be truth undeniable! - Causing all, both great and small, rich and poor, bond and free, to bow down before Him, calling Him Lord!

 
For this truth is an emblazoned torch, 
A waving banner, 
An ensign to all generations, 
Beyond all question!...

For HE IS WHO HE IS, 
And there is none like Him!...

YahuShua HaMashiach, 
The Holy One of Israel...

YOUR KING!

 
 
Behold, The Messiah had come and is returning; lo, He is coming quickly and shall also appear. Watch therefore, and behold the mighty and awesome power of The Holy One of Israel. For He shall sit upon the throne of His glory, and every knee shall bow. For the will of God shall be done on Earth as in Heaven.

1/18/06 An Exhortation from Timothy 
For All Those Who Have Ears to Hear

 
Sing and offer up praises to The Lord your God, for there is no other! Behold, the earth is filled with His glory; from the vast expanses, to the smallest corner, the earth reveals the craft of His hands! Let all the inhabitants of the earth proclaim the glory of The Lord, therefore! For all creation exalts His holy name, many loud voices singing together in concert, to the glory of His majesty!

Behold, He shouts to you from on high, His glory assaults you on every side; even within, look, He is there! For in you are all things written, within your very being, delicately etched there by The Right Hand of God. 
There is no escape from His glory! Apart from His Glory is only darkness and death; apart from Him all things cease to exist. For He alone causes all things to be.

The vastness of His glory is not hidden! It shines forth from the infinitely small to the infinitely large, for God has no end - HE IS The Creator! And YAHUSHUA is your Carpenter, the image of The Invisible God, The Firstborn over all creation. For by Him were all things created, both visible and invisible, in Heaven and on Earth; whether thrones or dominions, or principalities or powers, all things that are and were created were created through Him and for Him. For He is before all things, and in Him do all things consist, as it is written.<ref>Colossians 1:15-17</ref>

God is The Origin of Life! - The Creator of Heaven and Earth, of all that is known and unknown, YAHUWAH, He who causes to be. Thus YAHUSHUA is the answer you search for, The Very Meaning of Life - The Only Begotten of The Father, God in the flesh, Immanu El, He through whom you were made.

Therefore continue your search, and you shall discover the truth, which is God. Dissect life’s structures; there He is, its writer and fashioner. Look deeper and farther than ever before, and there you will find Him. Calculate and count all things which are before your eyes, yes, search the cosmos, study it, and you will begin to know Him. No matter where you point your lenses, there He is, within the scope of your understanding.

 
Behold, all discoveries lead to God! 
Though you need not seek, nor discover, 
For the knowledge of God is within you...

Yet only the shedding of the skin 
Of this world and the death of your pride 
Shall open your eyes to The Truth - 
Which is absolute, forever standing 
On a hill, bright and shining, 
Immovable, unbreakable!...

The Everlasting Stone which has 
Become The Head of the Corner, 
The Great Mountain which 
Fills the whole earth!

Listen, all you who hold baptism in such high regard, even as a measuring stick by which you count others worthy or unworthy, according to your own perverse interpretation of the Scriptures, for here is wisdom: Whosoever God has cleansed is worthy; you shall not call them unworthy.[https://www.thevolumesoftruth.com/All_Have_Been_Purchased..._Yet_Few_Have_Accepted,_Few_Are_Chosen#:~:text=Yet%20who%20The%20Lord%20has%20cleansed%20is%20worthy%20of%20His%20purpose%3B%20call%20him%20not%20unworthy%20or%20defiled.] 
For baptism by water was given to men as an outward testimony of one’s commitment to God, in The Messiah’s name, and also for union in fellowship within the body of Messiah. Therefore be wary of any doctrine which steals from the power of the cross, as though the sacrifice of The Messiah was not enough.

 
What is earthly, let it stay earthly; 
And what is spiritual, let it stay spiritual...

Hold not to the earthly nor to the 
Understanding of men, nor grab hold 
Of any private interpretation of Scripture; 
Trust not in the doctrines of men...

Hold fast to God, 
And place all your trust in The Messiah.

For All Those Who Have Ears to Hear

 
Who can move the foot of The Holy One of Israel, once it has been placed and purposed? Who has the power to fight against God?! For all live under the shadow of The Almighty - whether in judgment, or under the shadow of His healing wings.

 
Therefore, let every high man be bowed down 
And every oppressor be broken in pieces, 
Says The Lord...

Let all who stand so tall and lofty, 
With hearts firm and unyielding, 
Be crushed beneath My feet, 
Until only dust and ashes remain, 
Says The Almighty...

Yet let the penitent receive their reward, 
Let them abide at My feet in peace, 
Until that which is written is completed 
And that which was prophesied comes to pass, 
Says The Holy One of Israel.

I saw great suffering of men, women and children, in several countries I did not recognize. I also saw many horrible things being done to Christians in those lands. 
Then I saw a giant sandaled foot, with its heel on Africa, about to step down on very tall figures. The other sandaled foot was over Israel, but not touching it or stepping down on it. I know the sandaled feet belonged to YahuShua, because I could also see the rest of Him. His height went all the way into the heavens, and He was wearing a white robe.

Keep The Passover

==Keep The Passover==
3/20/07 From YahuShua HaMashiach, Our Lord and Savior 
The Word of The Lord Spoken to Timothy 
For All Those Who Have Ears to Hear

 
Thus says The Lord: My children, keep the Passover. Keep it according to the New Covenant, in faith and love, and remember. 
 
Yet you who call of yourselves Christian do always dishonor Me. Behold, you pollute the glory of My sacrifice with filthy traditions and desecrate My resurrection with pagan practices, forsaking those things which you were to keep holy and remember, nor will you incline the ear. Churches of men, know you not that in these Seven (the Holy Days) is wisdom and understanding, the very mind of God?! Yet you choose vanities on top of vanities, embracing corrupt doctrine and pagan-laced tradition, placing your stamp of approval on them. For you are a most perverse and adulterous generation. 
Churches of men, I am not of this world, yet you are of this world. Thus only those who obey My voice trust in Me, and only those who embrace Me as I truly am are set apart. For I live in them and they follow Me. You claim you trust in Me and that I live in you, yet not one of you obeys My voice; indeed, you ignore My example and refuse to walk in My ways. For if I truly lived in you, then you would do as I did. 
Beloved, follow Me! Keep the Passover, honor the Holy Days, and remember the Sabbath. Only then will you begin to see, only then will you understand. For the Holy Days are revelation, every Sabbath a blessing, a sign between Me and you that you may know I am The Lord who sanctifies you.

 
And behold, four are fulfilled: 
Salvation assured, sin and death overcome, the Spirit given...

Three are coming quickly: 
Sin destroyed, evil bound, My seat taken, Judgment...

A new day, even one thousand years...

Then a short season, consummation...

An everlasting day in The Lord!...

 
Amen, and amen.

Under God

2026-04-01T17:32:46Z

VolumesTim: /* Audio */

__TOC__ 

==Under God==
2/15/07 From The Lord, Our God and Savior 
The Word of The Lord Spoken to Timothy 
For the United Church of God, and For All Those Who Have Ears to Hear

 
To the church at The Lord’s right hand, hear the Word of The Lord, for thus says The Lord: Many of you remain seated at My right hand, because of your faith and those good works which you have done in accordance with My will. So then call yourself no more “The United Church of God.” Rather call yourself “The United Church in YahuShua The Messiah, Under God.” 
My children, do you sit next to Me on My throne? Or is it My body in which you dwell? The Messiah is The Church, His name is YahuShua, and He is the body in which My children dwell. By Him and through Him are all things, and to Him shall My children flock. He is your Shepherd, and by His shed blood are you made sons and daughters of God. 
Yes, many of you are of His body and remain seated at His right hand. Therefore continue in the Way I have shown you, resting firmly in The Messiah, being an immovable stone for His name. Turn not to the right hand nor to the left, but continue straight forward, according to the Scriptures and that which I speak to you this day.

 
For in your doings I am well pleased...

For you have kept My Commandments 
And remembered My Holy Days, 
And have not departed from My Sabbaths, 
Even the seventh day of each week, 
Which I had commanded My people 
To remember and keep holy...

Yes, even to all who are grafted in.

 
Indeed, you have sought to be separate from those things I hate, forsaking that which is detestable in My sight, even all these filthy holidays of men which man celebrates in ignorance and sin, to the desecrating of The Messiah’s name. Thus you have not made your members to be members of a harlot. Therefore great shall be your reward in Heaven. For all sin is not equal; only My forgiveness is equal.

Yet remember this, that you may be humbled in your service toward Me: No church named of men is the true church, not one. Rather each member individually, who believes in The Messiah and obeys His voice, in whom His spirit dwells, make up the True Church of His body - no walls, only spirit and truth. 
Therefore, O church of men, if you seek to strive on toward perfection, hear My words and forbear not. Take to heart all I have given you, and make it not a point of contention; nor pollute your good works with pride, nor use them as a measuring stick by which you count others unworthy. For I alone sit as judge, I alone correct and discipline all those I love. 
Rather take all I have given you, both in knowledge and understanding, and remain students. Do not cease from studying to show yourself approved unto God, a workman that need not be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of Truth, as it is written.<ref>2 Timothy 2:15</ref>

Beloved, heed My words and listen closely to My speech; for thus says The Lord to the church at His right hand, if you do indeed seek to remain at My right hand: Forbear not, nor reject My Word spoken to this generation, lest I leave you unto refinement also. For your robes have been made white, washed in the blood of The Lamb. Yet many of your daughters have gone their own way, returning to the ways of this world and the harlot, doing those things which are most unseemly in My sight - forsaking My Sabbaths and embracing those doctrines and traditions I hate, even all these holidays of men which I loathe in My zeal! Therefore be strong, yea, be very strong, and make every effort to turn them back again, lest they be torn in pieces when I stretch out My hand against the harlot and bring calamity upon the churches of men. 
Again, I say to you, strive toward perfection, yet do not think yourselves above reproach. Embrace My words, obey that which I have spoken to this generation, and you shall surely escape all these things which I am about to do. For as it was in the days of Lot, when I brought him out of the city, so likewise shall I deliver My people in the Day of Wrath. For those in whom The Messiah dwells must be taken out of the way. Then shall I judge the earth and strike the nations. For I do not change. 
Therefore give heed to My words and embrace My correction, that you may see with greater eyes. Or have you forgotten this truth: No prophecy or scripture is to be interpreted by an individual on their own? For prophecy has never come as a result of human power or by the will of man. Rather those chosen received ears to hear, and by the power of My spirit and according to My will, they became mouthpieces of The Most High God. For all I speak is Scripture and Truth, a plumb line by which all these crooked paths shall be set straight, says The Lord.

 
Therefore, hear and understand 
The love and severity of God...

For those who forsake Me and trample 
Upon the name of The Holy One of Israel, 
Rejecting Me and My Word, great adversity, 
Refinement in the Day of The Lord...

Yet for those who embrace Me 
And My Word, cleaving to Him 
In whom the fullness of God dwells, 
Escape, sanctuary in the house of The Lord.

 
Again I say to you, heed My words and embrace My correction; remain in My love. For you have indeed done many things well, according to My Word in the Scriptures. And only by these things for which you yet lack understanding have you erred. 
Therefore hear and understand the truth of baptism, of which you hold in such high regard, and be careful that you do not make it a rod or measuring stick by which you judge others; nor make baptism by water more than it was ordained to be, lest you make the cross of The Messiah of no effect. For like circumcision, so is baptism; neither is necessary for salvation. For you need only look to the thief on the cross, and have understanding. For one who had not known baptism by water was assured of salvation, though his sin was great, having confessed before The Messiah with a sincere and penitent heart. And in that same moment he was forgiven, and will enter into paradise at the Last Day, as Messiah had spoken it, saying, “In truth I speak to you this day, you shall be with Me in paradise.”

For as it is written: Many will there be in My Kingdom who received no baptism by water. Rather they had been fully immersed in The Word of God, enveloped in The Son’s sacrifice and love, baptized in the Spirit of Truth. For most assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. Therefore, do not cast stumbling blocks before the feet of those who love Me. Be one in Messiah, according to that which dwells inwardly in the heart. For true fellowship comes not by words spoken amongst a group of united people, nor by immersion in water. Rather it starts with the heart, and is found in the stillness of My spirit, where My peace mends the broken and My gentle caress gladdens the heart. For all those found at the feet of The Lord are covered with grace, and those who abide in My love are indeed of one accord. 
Beloved, where in The Commandments have I written all must be baptized by men to be saved? Baptism is indeed good, if it is a confession poured out from one’s heart in pure belief, an outward act of faith revealing one’s acceptance of their forgiveness in The Messiah. For the water of the earth can only cleanse that which is soiled on the skin. By no means can it cleanse that which is soiled in the spirit; this is reserved for the blood of The Lamb. Again I say to you, baptism by water is nothing, unless one is first washed by The Word, being baptized in the Spirit of Grace and Truth which is received in YahuShua HaMashiach, whom you call Jesus and Christ. For HE is The True Baptism, The Very Water of Life, in which all must be cleansed to receive everlasting life.

 
Therefore beloved, remember: 
The spirit of the Word, and not the letter, 
Is the way, the truth and the life...

For The Messiah is indeed coming quickly, 
To baptize all in fire and glory...

Those of a wicked heart, in fire...

And those of the Spirit, in glory, forever and ever!<ref>See: [https://www.thevolumesoftruth.com/The_True_Baptism#The_True_Baptism The True Baptism]</ref>...

 
Says The Lord.

==Born Again==
2/6/07 From YahuShua HaMashiach, Our Lord and Savior 
The Word of The Lord Spoken to Timothy 
For a Brother in Christ, and For All Those Who Have Ears to Hear

 
Thus says The Lord: It is written, that none shall enter The Kingdom of Heaven, unless they are born again. For all are born physically, of human parents, by great travail into a world of sin. So then to enter The Kingdom of Heaven, one must also be born again, of the Spirit,<ref>John 3:3-5</ref> set apart from this world and from all that is sin. 
My son, you are being born again even now, from the first moment you came to Me in repentance, even to this day. For I am faithful. And yet you ask, “How can this be?” questioning My words spoken to My servant, where I said, “You must be born again and again.” My son, I have spoken, and all I have written through My servant Timothy stands; no contradiction found. Rather it is the understanding of men, which remains lacking. Therefore if one comes to Me in repentance, with sincere remorse over their sins, they shall surely be born again - even again and again, as they strive to make their repentance full.[https://answersonlygodcangive.com/Regarding_True_Repentance]

Yet I tell you a mystery: It has been appointed to those who are born twice to die once, but by no means shall they die a second time. Yet those who do not come to Me in repentance shall be born once and die twice. Yet there are some among this generation who shall never taste death, having already passed from judgment into life. Thus to My chosen elect, there is a death of the body unto resurrection. Yet for those still living at My return, there is a death of another kind - the crucifying of your old man with his sinful ways, the putting on of the new man who is renewed in the knowledge of the Truth, restored in the image of Him who created him.<ref>Colossians 3:9-10</ref>

 
Thus when one is born into this world, 
The child and the mother suffer the pangs 
Of childbirth, until the birth is complete...

In the same way, those born of the Spirit shall suffer travail; 
For they are not yet separated from their flesh 
Or this world, in which they continually stumble...

So then being born again is the process by which 
You are restored in the image of God, 
A continual washing, until you come into glory.

 
My son, I died for the forgiveness of your sins - those of today, yesterday, and those sins of tomorrow. Yet man does continually stumble over his flesh, being tempted in a world filled with sin. And so he must continually come to Me, and even seventy times seven times shall I cleanse him and lift him up. And so to Timothy, I have spoken and said that he must be born again and again, until I present him to The Father clean. 
This is not rebirth in the Spirit again and again, but rather the process by which Timothy sheds the skin of this world, as he crucifies his old man with his sinful ways and puts on this new man I have given him, in Me and of Me. And so there is one rebirth in the Spirit (the moment one’s heart is irrevocably changed), but many rebirths of man’s spirit, because of his continual sin, fear, doubt and temptation. Therefore as it was with My servant, Sha’ul (also known as Paul), so likewise shall it be with My servants of this day: You must die daily.

And still in another place you ask, concerning those who teach in My name, “Why must these become, again, children of God?” This is not rebirth in the Spirit, but rather a correction and a washing. For these have strayed off the path, though they claim to follow Me. And when one strays off the path and follows after the world, teaching in the churches of men doctrines of demons, I ask you, what father have they chosen and whose child have they become? And so with a firm hand, I will surely correct and discipline all those I love, so they may return to Me and become again children of God. For indeed, small is the gate and narrow is the way into Heaven. And no man who thinks himself righteous may enter, called Christian or otherwise. 
So then, My son, you are reborn in the Spirit and have embraced the new heart I have given you, but by no means is this birth complete. For you are indeed that fruit which is still ripening, as you have said. In this you have spoken well, by the wisdom I have given you. For as it is written: I am The True Vine, and My Father is The Vinedresser. Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear even more fruit.<ref>John 15:1-2</ref>

 
My son, you have bore much fruit in My name, 
And shall continue to do so until the day I finish you, 
The day you become completely new...

For as a babe is born naked and wrapped in soft linens, 
So also shall My people be reborn - 
Naked, void of the things of this world, 
Clothed in fine linens of white...

Behold, the corruptible has put on incorruption, 
And the mortal, immortality, as it is written!<ref>1 Corinthians 15:53-54</ref>...

 
Says The Lord.

2/2/07 From The Lord, Our God and Savior 
The Word of The Lord Spoken to Timothy 
For Timothy, and For All Those Who Have Ears to Hear

 
Thus says The Lord to His servant: Timothy, why do you beseech The Lord your God in such a manner? Have I not given you your heart’s desire? Stop stifling the Spirit, and break free from doubt. For doubt is your enemy, a clever adversary, a false witness, the work of the evil one in an attempt to bar your way before Me. Therefore cast off the unfruitful works of the devil, and embrace that which I have given you, and you shall surely be established. Let not doubt nor fear rule over you any longer. You need only turn to Me and believe, for all I have spoken shall surely come to pass. 
And yet you ask of these things written in the book called Revelation, and of the 144,000. Why do you doubt? Have I not said, “You are chosen, and you shall go for Me”? Therefore listen, and also understand: I am no respecter of persons, for all in The Messiah are of one body. So then your appointment is not by lineage nor heritage, but of Messiah. And what of those of the line of Israel who reject The Messiah, shall they go for Me? Surely not. For they are broken off, until such time I choose to graft them in again. And if I choose one such as you, Timothy, whom I have plucked from among the Gentiles and grafted in, are you not then the same as those who remain in the olive tree? 
Again, only those in union with The Messiah shall go for Me. For if you are adopted into the family of Abraham, then of Abraham you are. If I have grafted you into the branch of Levi, then of the Levites you are and as a Levite you shall serve. And if you grow from The True Vine, and I Myself have pruned you, then you shall indeed bear much fruit in My name. 
Therefore let no man, nor any doctrine conceived within the churches of men, lead you astray. Do not be swayed, nor doubt, on account of all their lofty assertions, which they falsely call truth. For upon their heads is a veil held fast by the pride and arrogance of men, men in authority who teach and preach in My name, though I have not sent them. For they do always bear false witness, saying, “I see, I see!” though they themselves remain blinded. Their knowledge is corrupt, not one has heard the voice of The Living God, nor will they embrace Me as I truly am.

 
For as it is written: 
When I swear an oath, 
I swear by Myself, 
For there is none greater<ref>Hebrews 6:13</ref>...

Therefore who I choose, I choose!...

 
I AM THE LORD.

1/22/07 From The Lord, Our God and Savior 
The Word of The Lord Spoken to Timothy 
For All Those Who Have Ears to Hear

 
Thus says The Lord of Hosts: I have stretched out My hand to this dying people, I have opened My mouth to speak to this lost and most wicked generation, a people who do always cover their ears and hide their faces, lest they be made to give an account. Indeed, they are wise in their own eyes, and from the Way they have departed. For as it is written: They are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge.<ref>Jeremiah 4:22</ref> 
Thus all I have purposed to do shall be done, it shall surely come to pass, and you, yes you, O most wicked generation, shall be astonished, horribly afraid! For I shall confound the multitudes, and the people shall be dismayed! Therefore run and hide; conceal yourselves in the clefts of the rocks and hide your faces! For the power of The Lord shall surely be put on open display! 
For what is this generation to Me? Are you not a people exceedingly great in number, a people whose cities cover the face of the earth like the stars fill the heavens? And though you build and make for yourselves a name, I shall surely throw down! For before Me is a whole generation whose every inclination is evil continually, a most rebellious people who do not cease from fighting against Me! Says The Lord. 
Not since the days of Noah, when the wickedness of man was great in the earth, have I beheld a generation such as this! - A people who are wise in their own eyes, who parade their whoredoms openly, without restraint, a most vile people whose transgressions increase beyond measure, whose sin reaches unto heaven! Behold, they seek out evil to embrace it, and the grave that they might lie down in it, a so-called modern people who make for themselves laws, that they might practice abomination freely, even to the murdering of the innocent without fear of reprisal! 
Behold, they run from evil to evil, that they might provoke Me to anger! Yes, they run to and fro in all the earth, committing evil and practicing abomination, for their wickedness has no end! They oppress the poor, and the right of the needy they do not defend! The widows and the fatherless are cast aside, and the meek are trampled underfoot!

 
Day and night you exalt yourselves, O sons of men! 
Every day you walk proudly in your rebellion, 
And every night you practice abomination!...

Shall you steal, kill and destroy, 
For the sake of your own glory?! 
How long shall you bring forth 
Only works of unrighteousness?! 
How long shall you run greedily for gain, 
Fueled by your never-ending lusts?!...

YOUR WICKEDNESS OVERFLOWS, 
A PEOPLE WHOSE COVETOUSNESS HAS NO EQUAL!

 
And what is this I see among all these so-called people of faith, among all these multitudes who claim to be a people for My name? Behold, in MY NAME they commit abomination, provoking Me to anger! In MY NAME, they make great spectacles of themselves, as they twist the Scriptures for evil gain! In MY NAME, they teach as doctrine the commandments of men; lawlessness is widely accepted! THEY HAVE SURELY TAKEN THE NAME OF THE LORD IN VAIN! 
Therefore, I shall turn their glory into shame, I shall make of them a desolation and their people an object of scorn, and they shall bear the reproach of all nations! Behold, I shall break all these unruly branches, for they can in no wise be grafted in! For I am The Lord, and I do not change! 
Yet in My mercy, I set watchmen over them, saying, “Listen to the sound of the trumpet, heed the voice of The Living God, and embrace My correction. For I do not change.” But they said, “We will not listen, nor will we give heed, nor will we embrace The Lord’s correction. For we love our whitewashed palaces, and will never depart from these houses which are called by our name. Yes, we love the sound of our own voices, and we have brought glory to our name.” Thus I shall continue to speak. I shall open My mouth in the former manner and speak to this most ungodly generation. Yes, I shall surely make My plans known and warn the people; I shall rebuke them sharply and declare all their wrongdoings, as in the days of old. For I do not change, says The Lord. 
Did I not speak in times past by the mouths of My servants, the prophets? And was I not also speaking to you, O foolish and deceived generation? Yet they would not give heed to My words, nor would they listen, and so all I had purposed to do to them was fulfilled.

 
Thus upon you also will I bring all 
I have spoken by My servants the prophets, 
Both the former and the latter, even to this day...

For you also refuse to give heed to My words, 
Nor will you listen, nor will you turn aside 
From your evil ways, provoking Me to anger!...

Says The Lord.

 
And as for you, Timothy, you must proclaim My words, both the former and the latter. You must blow the Trumpet and warn the people. For as I had spoken by My prophet of old, so now do I also speak by you. Therefore prophesy against them, saying...

The Lord shall roar from Heaven and thunder from His Holy Mountain; He shall roar mightily against His people! He shall give a shout like the one who treads grapes, and rebuke the inhabitants of the earth! All the people shall hear Him; behold, the sound of His voice shall echo in all the earth! 
For The Lord has a controversy with the nations; He shall pass judgment on all mankind, and the wicked shall be handed over to the sword. Disaster shall go forth from nation to nation, and a great storm shall be raised up from the uttermost parts of the earth. On that day, the slain of The Lord shall be from one end of the earth to the other. Yet they shall not be lamented, nor gathered, nor buried, but lie as refuse upon the ground. 
Therefore wail, all you shepherds! Says The Lord. Wallow in the dust and cry aloud, all you leaders among men! For the Days of Brokenness have come upon you, and the Day of Slaughter is about to come in! For I will surely break you; like a clay pot you shall fall and shatter upon the ground! 
The shepherds shall be unable to flee, and the leaders shall have no escape! Behold, the wailing of the shepherds shall be great, and the cry of the leaders shall resound in every nation! For I shall plunder their pastures and all the peaceable dwellings shall be cut down! Says The Lord in His fierce anger.

 
Therefore, prepare in the desert the way of The Lord! 
Make a straight path in these dry and parched lands, 
For The Holy One of Israel!...

Let every valley be exalted, 
And every mountain and hill brought low! 
Let the crooked places be made straight, 
And the rough places smooth!...

For The Glory of The Lord shall be 
Revealed from Heaven, and all 
People shall behold it together!...

 
For I am The Lord, and I do not change.

==I Am With You Always==
1/5/07 From The Lord, Our God and Savior 
The Word of The Lord Spoken to Timothy 
For All Those Who Have Ears to Hear 
(Regarding the Holy Spirit)

 
Question asked by Timothy: Lord, can You help me better understand John 16:13-15?<ref>John 16:13-15 NKJV (corrected version): 13 However, when It, the Spirit of Truth, has come, It will guide you into all truth; for It will not speak on Its own authority, but whatever It hears It will speak; and It will tell you things to come. 14 It will glorify Me, for It will take of what is Mine and declare it to you. 15 All things that the Father has are Mine. Therefore I said that It will take of Mine and declare it to you.</ref>

 
Thus says The Lord to His servant: Timothy, think not in earthly terms, nor consider by human means. Rather know and understand, that which I have poured out is spirit and truth. For the Spirit is not a person, as one separate. Rather it is a gift, a blessing received through The Messiah.<ref>John 20:22</ref> For as it is written: Streams of life-giving water will pour out from His side.<ref>John 7:37-39 (GNT)</ref> Therefore that which you receive is of God and of Messiah, for The Father and The Son are one. Thus the Comforter is of The Son and The Father also.

Thus says The Lord, your Teacher: This is why I said, the Spirit shall not speak of itself as one separate, but shall take of Mine and reveal it to you. For the fullness of The Father dwells in The Son,<ref>Colossians 1:19</ref> and that which is The Father’s is The Son’s also. My son, the Spirit and The Messiah are completely one, even as I and The Father are One. For I tell you the truth, all The Father wills is made manifest through Me. Thus the Spirit is given so you may really know Me, and receive strength to walk in My ways. For I am with you always, even to the end of this age.<ref>Matthew 28:20</ref>

 
And behold, there is a day coming 
Quickly when you shall be changed, 
And no longer shall I dwell only in you, 
But you shall dwell also in Me...

Then shall you understand 
The fullness of who I am...

For as it is written: 
Now you see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face; 
Now you know in part, but then you shall 
Know just as you are also known.<ref>1 Corinthians 13:12</ref>

11/12/06 From YahuShua HaMashiach, Our Lord and Savior 
The Word of The Lord Spoken to Timothy 
For All Those Who Have Ears to Hear

 
Thus says The Lord, your Teacher: God is just in everything. And if The Father’s justice is not partial, then it shall surely come to pass in these latter days, that those who have placed themselves first shall be last, and those who were seen as last shall be first partakers of The Glory. 
For what shall I do and what shall I say, to all these who call of themselves Christian, to a people who invoke My Word in Scripture, yet in that selfsame hour disobey it? Shall I reward the arrogant for their disobedience and the prideful for their pomp? Shall any who teach as doctrine the commandments of men escape the Day of The Lord? For of My servants I require meekness and fear, rightly dividing the Word of Truth unto the edification of the people - not in justification of themselves, by themselves, to their own glory.

Therefore thus says The Lord, to all those who call of themselves Christian: Do you really know Me? Have you truly received of Me? And if you have received of Me, how is it you do not abide in Me? Where is the fruit of My spirit, which you say lives in you? I tell you the truth, I have not seen it! And of My gifts, what have you done with them? My lost sheep, where have you laid them? They lie next to your faith, which has also been misplaced.

 
Indeed many of you have asked of Me forgiveness, 
And I have washed you in My own blood; 
Are you not then married to Me?...

How is it then that you still play the harlot, 
Returning to those things which are not lawful, 
Taking pleasure in those things I hate?...

Thus as it is written, I will surely 
Correct and discipline all those I love<ref>Revelation 3:19</ref>...

For I do not change.

 
Therefore I have called forth the watchmen, My prophets, of whom you shall know by their fruits and by their sword (the fruits of which the devil can not duplicate - imitate, yes; duplicate, no). Therefore, woe to those who do not embrace their words and ignore their correction. For it would have been better for you if you had never met them, nor heard them, and remained in ignorance. Yet you have heard them. Thus you are bound by their words, a cord which can not be cut. 
Therefore woe to all those who come against them, for you have lifted up your heel against ME! Says The Lord. Indeed all who stone them in word or by deed shall not be gathered, nor shall they escape. For I shall leave them in the midst of the fire, left unto refinement in the Great and Terrible Day of The Lord. There shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

 
Therefore listen closely 
And take My words to heart, 
All you who call of yourselves Christian: 
I ask you, do you really love Me?...

Then follow Me...

Beloved ones, listen closely 
And take My words to heart, 
All you who call of yourselves Christian: 
Do you really love Me?...

Then obey My Word! Follow Me!...

Beloved, listen closely 
And take My words to heart, 
All you who call of yourselves Christian: 
Do you really love Me?!...

Then heed My voice and come out!...

 
FOLLOW ME!

==A Rock of Offense==
11/12/06 From The Lord, Our God and Savior 
The Word of The Lord Spoken to Timothy 
For Timothy, and For All Those Who Have Ears to Hear

 
Thus says The Lord to His servant: Timothy, I have sent you out amongst My sheep, as a young shepherd who lacks experience, as one who has little knowledge of My flock. Yet from your birth, I set you apart for My purpose. Yea, before your formation in the womb, I appointed you a prophet to the nations. Thus you shall go for Me and be to My people a light, a beacon shining amidst the darkness of the end of this age, a voice shouting in desolate places calling them out.

 
You shall be for Me a witness, 
A rock of offense which I have placed 
At the feet of the rebellious and set 
Against the churches of men, 
Causing them to stumble...

For I have put My words in your mouth, 
And by the power of My spirit have I 
Caused you to write all these words...

Each Letter a spear with which I 
Shall pierce the heart of this people, 
Every Volume a sword by which I 
Shall divide them asunder...

A rod and a staff for those who believe...

I AM THE LORD.

 
Timothy, I have made you a watchman for the people. Therefore you shall hear the Word of My mouth, and warn them from Me. Yet their ears are dull, their countenances set and their hearts unyielding. For they are haughty and do always reject the Word of God. Indeed My words have become an object of scorn among them, and in My ways they find no delight. Therefore I shall increase in you seven-fold, and cause this Word to become as a blaring trumpet in the ears of this people, a thorn in the side of this nation which can not be removed, and you shall be perceived as an enemy to all men. 
Behold, I have set you apart for My glory; an empty vessel of dishonor, of which I have cleansed and filled unto great honor; a man who shall be hated and persecuted by those of this world, yet rejoiced over by angels. For even those who claim to be of My sheepfold shall come to hate you with a profound and bitter hatred, to the casting of many stones in word and by deed. For they have not known Me.

 
Thus I have called you out of the world, 
And shall also send you back into the world, 
Even to the churches of men...

For as it was written of My prophets of old, 
So in like manner have I appointed you:

I have made your face strong against their faces, 
And your forehead strong against their foreheads; 
Like adamant stone, harder than flint, 
I have made your forehead<ref>Ezekiel 3:8-9</ref>...

For I have set you over nations and over kingdoms, 
To root out and to pull down, to destroy 
And to throw down, to build and to plant<ref>Jeremiah 1:10</ref>...

 
For I am The Lord, and I do not change.<ref>Malachi 3:6</ref>

Blessed Are Those Who Overcome for My Name’s Sake

==Blessed Are Those Who Overcome for My Name’s Sake==
11/9/06 From YahuShua HaMashiach, Our Lord and Savior 
The Word of The Lord Spoken to Timothy 
For Someone Who Asked if They Can Still Serve The Lord as a Pastor 
Even Though They Are Homosexual, and For All Those Who Have Ears to Hear

 
Thus says The Lord to His servant, whom He loves: You seek Me, and this is very good. Yet if you wish to please Me, then you must first become My disciple, a devoted servant who walks in My ways.

My son, I have not forsaken you. If you ask of Me forgiveness, I shall surely forgive you, even for all you have done. Yet to continue in those same sins, for which you had sought forgiveness, is most unpleasant in My sight. For by doing so, you have made My forgiveness of no effect. For that which requires forgiveness is the very same from which you must depart, lest your repentance become unrepentance, crucifying Me again and again in your heart.

 
For repentance is more than the asking...

It must come from a deep desire to be set free 
In My love, followed by a sincere unyielding 
Commitment to make your love perfect 
Through obedience...

The shedding of the skin of this world, 
The crucifying of your old man with his sinful ways...

The putting on of the new man who is 
Renewed in the knowledge of The Holy One, 
Conforming to the image of Him who created him<ref>Colossians 3:9-10</ref>...

Says The Lord.

 
My son, there is none righteous in all the world, no, not one.<ref>Romans 3:10</ref> All have sinned and fall short of the Glory of God.<ref>Romans 3:23</ref> Behold, even Timothy, a man who I have given to hear My voice, does continually stumble. Yet when he is weak, he becomes strong. For My grace is sufficient for him, and My strength is made perfect in his weakness.<ref>2 Corinthians 12:9</ref> For he does not cease from coming to Me, laying himself at My feet in repentance, taking full responsibility for his actions, remorseful over those things which yet cause him to stumble, being fully tempted as all men. For I have not yet delivered My people out of temptation; nor has the evil one been bound in the abyss (this time is not yet). Yet from the power of sin, which is death, I have surely delivered you - if you so choose to receive of Me fully, if you so choose to embrace Me as I truly am, if you so choose to remain in My love.<ref>John 15:10</ref> 
Therefore you know the answer to your question already, for all is written in the Scriptures of Truth. Shall one, who does that which is an abomination in the eyes of God, serve Me? He may not. For as it is written: No one who actively engages in or passively practices homosexuality shall inherit The Kingdom of God.<ref>1 Corinthians 6:9-10 (CJB)</ref> Behold, even all who voice their agreement shall be left outside the gate,<ref>Revelation 22:15</ref> says The Lord. Yet if one comes to Me and asks of Me forgiveness, even a continual washing in My own blood, he shall surely have it; even if he comes to Me seven times, or seventy times seven times, he shall be forgiven.<ref>Matthew 18:21-22</ref> For I forgive all those who come to Me in sincerity and in truth, and draw near to those of a contrite heart, delivering those of a humble spirit.

 
Beloved, by this then 
Shall our love be made perfect...

You shall abstain from that which is 
Not lawful, and make every effort 
To depart from that which is an 
Abomination in the eyes of God...

You must strive to be completely separate 
From that life, presenting your body 
As a living sacrifice to The Lord...

Blameless.

 
For that which is unnatural is universally known, though the men and women of this world deny it. And that which is against God shall be purged by fire. Even all that offends shall be destroyed and come to a swift end. Therefore, My son, take up your cross and follow Me as I am, and not as you or the churches of men would have Me be. For as it is written: Whoever loves their mother, father, sister, brother, child or close friend, more than Me, is not worthy of Me. And he who does not take up his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. For he who holds onto his life in this world will lose it, yet he who gives up his life for My sake will find it.<ref>Matthew 10:37-39</ref> 
So then, do I call you to serve Me? I do, if you are willing to serve Me in all righteousness, without compromise. Do I then require that you be perfect? No. For there is none perfect, save The Holy One of Israel. Rather I require that you strive to be unto Me a servant of pure heart, of pure intention, a disciple who loves Me with all his heart, understanding and strength, and also loves his neighbor as himself.<ref>Mark 12:30-31</ref> For it is written and remains standing, that one can not be crowned unless they strive lawfully.<ref>2 Timothy 2:5 (KJV)</ref>

My son, I am the fulfillment of The Law, the very goal at which the Torah aims.<ref>Romans 10:4 (CJB)</ref> Thus all those who embrace Me are freed from the curse of The Law, but by no means are they now free to forsake The Law. Rather let The Law be written in your heart, for now you are under grace, and by the power of My own spirit are you now able to keep The Law<ref>1 John 3:24 (NKJV)</ref>... Beloved, come to Me and receive! Let Me wash you and make you clean, that you may now arise and walk in My ways. 
Therefore again I say to you, serve Me as I am, and not as you would have Me be. Yet turn away unto strange flesh, and I shall also turn away from you, leaving you in the midst of the earth, until you are truly ready to give up your life for My sake.<ref>Matthew 16:25</ref> My son, come out from among them and be separate,<ref>2 Corinthians 6:17</ref> and I shall give you a cool drink of water, for you are yet thirsty. Hear My words and understand. For My words are life for those who walk in them. And if you walk in them, then you are really My disciple,<ref>John 8:31 (GNT)</ref> says The Lord.

==Chosen Vessels==
9/4/06 From The Lord, Our God and Savior 
The Word of The Lord Spoken to Timothy 
For All Those Who Have Ears to Hear

 
Thus says The Lord: There are many who count themselves worthy, as vessels of honor. Yet they are corrupt, having been filled with all manner of falsehood, bitter doctrine and perverse tradition; men in authority who know not The Truth nor do I reside within them, modern pharisees who in My name feed the masses spoiled food, scraps from which even the dogs turn away, doctrines and traditions I hate, works which shall be burned up in the Day. 
Therefore I have gathered to Myself a special offering, of the number, empty vessels void of all doctrine taught within the churches of men. And though these have sinned in the body, as all men, they are fully immersed in the Spirit of Truth, enveloped in The Son’s sacrifice, cleansed in the blood of The Lamb... Behold the chosen vessels of The Lord. They are washed and made clean, both in body and spirit, remade, vessels of honor, meet for The Master’s use. Behold, they are filled with the pure water, of which they shall continually pour into the cups of the thirsty. I AM THE LORD.

Yet what of all these other vessels filled with all manner of bitter and foul doctrine? Shall I pour the pure water into these, mixing the pure with the polluted and the clean with the corrupt? Surely not. For they have sat long and unmoving, their contents stagnant and rank, fermenting. Thus when vessels such as these fill the cups of the thirsty, My people become ill, even drunk by the contents. For none are able to perceive the Truth as it really is, nor will they accept it when it comes. 
They have all become intoxicated, they are all drunk! They are intoxicated with the doctrines of men, they are drunk with the ways of this world! They are corrupt, their works abominable! There is none righteous, no, not one! Therefore every vessel of dishonor shall be broken, all contents purged in the heat of the Great and Terrible Day of The Lord!

 
How easily men give heed 
To the cleansing of the sin of the body, 
Yet oh how they resist the cleansing of the spirit...

For they do always resist the Truth, believing within 
Themselves they are already clean, deceiving themselves...

For this reason I have set apart a special offering, even 144,000, 
My witnesses, who are cleansed and made ready, 
Men of promise who shall go for Me...

 
I am The Lord.
