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]

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!
 

Beloved children, 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.

Restored

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[1]...

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.

Refuge

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[2]...

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[3]...

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[4]...

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![5]...

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?
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...

Says The Lord.

The Perfect Reflection

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.

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[6],
The Great Mountain which fills the whole earth[7]...

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.

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... Says The Lord.

The Only Way to Follow

Come to Me, 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 Fulfillment of The Law

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 Religion

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.

Scripture and Truth

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...

Says The Lord.

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[8]...

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

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.

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.

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.

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...

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.

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...

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.

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.
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...

Says The Lord.

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.

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.

Integrity

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.

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.

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

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.
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.

Spiritual Warriors

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 YahuShua.

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.

The Blessing

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.[9]
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.

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...

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[10]...

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.

It Is Time

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[11]...

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[12] and obey His voice[13]
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[14]...

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.[15] 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,”[16] so also do I speak to you, even to all who are grafted in.
 

For those who obey My Commandments
Remain in My love[17], 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[18]...

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; 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!
 

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[19]...

Says The Lord.

The First Harvest

It is written, all shall lie down in death...

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.
