The Kingdom of Yahweh, a First Look

The Kingdom of Yahweh, a First Look

(#036 from Suffer Well Devotional Series©)

“All of creation eagerly waits for the manifestation of the sons of the Mighty One [Yahweh].” (Romans 8:19)

Throughout the years we have asked many individuals and groups this vital question; “What is the Kingdom of Yahweh?” We have heard every answer imaginable, yet none seem to be unified as a whole. This simple disagreement among the Body of the Messiah is enough to prove we need to have an earnest expectation, as it is what the Spirit in us requires for completion, unity if you will.

If there was ever a Word that held the blueprint to fulfill all of your personal dreams, while at the same time satisfies the righteous requirements necessary to bring honor to the King, then this is it: “Seek first [only] the Kingdom of the Mighty One [Yahweh] and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.” (Matthew 6:33) This command encompasses the entirety of what the Spirit in us longs to do, “Seek only!” And it promises the King’s provision of “All these things!” for humans who demonstrate they know and trust Yahweh, by seeking only Him.

Can you fathom the idea that if you actually spent your time seeking Yahweh, to know Him and adore Him alone, then far beyond the capabilities of any earthly father (provider), He will provide everything that has been appointed to you? “Appointed?” That’s correct; He has predetermined blessings and provision for those who actually follow the pattern of seeking and asking. And if even an ordinary earthly father knows how to give good gifts to his children, how much more does your Father in Heaven? (Matthew 7:9-11; Luke 11:11-13)

To know Him and to love Him and His will more than anything else in existence is the way, the truth, and the life for those brave enough to live it. To know His mind is to know the Kingdom within you. And to accept also that it is by His power alone, and not by your own strength that you can come to this place of “seeking first,” furthers the beauty even more. Meditate on the majesty of Yahweh; “I seek Him by His power, and then I am blessed for doing what only He and His Son could enable me to do.” Stop and think loved one; consider that magnitude of His Sovereignty! Only then will you start to understand His Kingdom, the Kingdom within.

And this Good News of the Kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness unto all nations; and then the end will come. (Matthew 24:14)

Do You Follow and Obey God?

What?

Congregation member 1: We shouldn’t argue!

Congregation member 2: Of course not and we won’t; let’s be like the Bereans in Acts 17 and figure out the truth.

Congregation member 1: Well, I feel like it’s an argument.

Congregation member 2: Not at all. What can I do to make sure you don’t feel that way and still continue this discussion? You know there can only be one answer, so we can’t both be right, and perhaps we are both wrong. But, let’s find out so we can both honor Yahweh, in all we say, do and believe. Does that sound okay?

Congregation member 1: Nope! I’m not going to fight with you about this.

Congregation member 2: I agree! So how can I assure you that a fight is the furthest thing from my mind, and that I have nothing but love and admiration for you?

Congregation member 1: Jesus is love and that’s all that matters.

Congregation member 2: I agree, Yahweh is love, and therefore His Son Yahshua is love, and obedience to Them is what proves our love. And that’s why we, if we are brothers, should be able talk about such things. I would like us to make sure we are following His ways as commanded. If one or both of us is incorrect, then we can change by seeking His word and making sure, together, that we are on the right path. Doesn’t Proverbs 27 encourage us to sharpen one another? It says, “As iron sharpens iron, so a man sharpens the countenance of his friend.” (v. 17)

Congregation member 1: Yes it does; but I’m still not going to debate this with you. Jesus is love and that’s all that matters. That’s what my pastor preaches all the time.

Congregation member 2: Hmmm, so much for being a Berean.

“Then the brethren immediately sent Shaul and Silas away by night to Berea. When they arrived, they went into the synagogue of the Yehudim. These were more fair-minded than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness, and searched the Scriptures daily to find out whether these things were so.” (Acts 17:10-11)

Brothers and sisters in the faith are called to inspire each other to search the Scriptures daily to find out if what they are being taught is true. Do you?

Torah Portion BO Exodus 10:1-13:16

TORAH : EXODUS 10:1-13:16| PROPHETS : JEREMIAH 46:13-28| GOSPEL : JOHN 19:31-37

Know your enemy to defeat him

^{If you want to be part of Yahweh’s Army. To be on His side, you must choose HIM to be your leader. We make this choice by being obedient to His commands. When we are not following Him, we allow the devil to dwell inside it.
27} for anger give the devil a place. -Ephesians 4:27
The word “place” in Greek means a right or a room. If they have a right to indwell someone, they will refuse to leave. Sin justifies their right to refuse to leave. 

Make the right choice, learn and follow Yahweh! In this video I explain more about this.

Read Deuteronomy 1:19-46: Israyl’s refusal to enter the land and the penalty for their rebellion! And now, a Divine mind perspective.

The land (thought plain) I promised you is good; but, you must go in and possess it (the gift of Divine consciousness). I know the Amorites (the propensity to exalt your “self”) and Anakites (the temptation to exalt the material world) in your life. And it is I (the Divine mind) who will defeat them both.

Fear not, and do not be so easily persuaded to be disobedient to what I have called you to do. Do not hesitate one more moment, for My anger is a consuming fire. Have I not already revealed that your weapons of warfare are not carnal but mighty in Me for pulling down strongholds (2 Corinthians 10:4)?  Did I not demonstrate that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in My power (1 Corinthians 2:5)?  If I tell you to go, you must go immediately!  I have prepared a place for you, a land flowing with milk (spiritual substance in thoughts) and honey (sweet thoughts).

I travel by the clouds of internal mystique and by the fire of Divine judgment, and I promise to protect you on your journey. No one can touch you apart from My will, as you are children of the Covenant (Divine mind offering), and My word is My faithfulness. I will not fail you; now do your part, and reveal Me to the world (fallen mind of man).

The Spiritual Battle

The highest calling we have in life from our Creator is to learn what love is and then to love the people who don’t deserve to be loved. In this video I explain why and how to do that.

Ephesians 6:12 We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

Revelation 2:10 Don’t be afraid of what you are about to suffer. The devil will throw some of you into prison to test you. You will suffer for ten days. But if you remain faithful even when facing death, I will give you the crown of life.

Handed Over

(#032 from Suffer Well Devotional Series©)

“But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you or by a human court. In fact, I do not even judge myself. For I know of nothing against myself, yet I am not justified by this; but He who judges me is Yahweh. Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Master comes, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness and reveal the counsels of the hearts. Then each one’s praise will come from the Mighty One.” (1 Corinthians 4:3-5)

How quickly you handed me over,
Not even one question asked.
Turn your back; write him off; trust deception;
Thinking otherwise is too much a task.

“If they have him, he must’ve done something,”
Your words like a noose on my heart.
My captors, they thrive on their scandal,
His blood drips, but they have no part.

They bank on my “brothers” to abandon,
Wicked whispers plead, “Please don’t defend.”
But, no greater love is this,
Than to “lay down one’s life for a friend.”

How quickly you handed me over,
I pray now with new eyes you will see.
They devise to seek, kill and destroy,
I refused to believe you’d agree.

Don’t accept, “He must’ve done something,”
Instead, seek all truth from the start.
There is no truth in my captors,
His blood drips, but they have no part.

I warned you to trust no man (Jeremiah 17:5). They even abandoned the Son of the Most High. And if man would persecute and abandon Him, they will do likewise to you (John 15:20). I, therefore, give you this key to the Kingdom; love them anyway (Matthew 5:43-44). How did My Son forgive His murderers, you and the others? It is simple, I and My Son are One (John 10:30), and I Am love (1 John 4:8)! This love requires nothing in return you see; in other words, it does not seek its own (1 Corinthians 13:5). It is My plan, to love the loveless. Who can resist that? And so you must also forgive those who persecute and abandon you, for you too have betrayed your brothers in this. You also have fallen short of the Divine standard, to love the loveless.

Because your love is possible only because I first loved you (1 John 4:19), there is an expectation that comes with this gift. I demand that My children to understand it. Here is My expectation; because it was a gift to you, you are expected to give it as a gift to others. Do not consider it from the perspective that you owe Me something; instead, consider it from the position of what you were made capable of. I merely want you to understand your own new heart, the heart that has been transformed. You see, your carnal heart, the heart that rejected and despised love, was removed.

My child, I took out your heart of stone (Ezekiel 36:26). All I ask in return is that you appreciate your new heart and use it as directed. Love the loveless; this is a key to My Kingdom. Someone might be willing to die for a righteous man, but for an enemy, only the King of Righteousness (Romans 5:7). And now that you have His heart, won’t you join Him?

Do you believe in Yeshua? Truly believe?

Define “Believe”

(#031 from Suffer Well Devotional Series©)

www.sufferwell.org

Spirit man: Let’s read Romans 10:11 “For the scripture says, ‘Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.'”

Carnal man: But I see Yahweh’s people put to shame all the time.

Spirit man: As the scripture says: “Anyone who trusts in Him (Yahshua) will never be put to shame.”

Carnal man: I don’t get it. Maybe I should pray and seek wisdom.

Spirit man: “Yes, wisdom is in here; it is carried in His vessels. Please define “trust” for me.”

Carnal man: I can’t.

Spirit man: May I take over then?

Carnal man: I guess.

Spirit man: Thank you. To trust Yahshua, and therefore prove belief, is to leave behind your own agenda and defer to His and your Heavenly Father’s will at all times.  This pattern of thinking always takes into account Proverbs 14:12; “There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death,” as well as Hebrews 11:1; “Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”  You see, you must learn to believe in what you do not understand and cannot see; all the while trusting you will not be put to shame. In order to reach the fullness of what the Father and Son have planned for your life, you must step into the unknown like a child who knows his Father will catch him if he falls. Give in and let the work of the torture stake have its way in you. Either way, at some point you will have to step into the promise of Daniel 9:24; “Finish transgression and make an end of sins.” Start trusting now and receive today’s reward. Don’t delay; today may be all you have.

Carnal man: Can I just watch?

Spirit man: I expected no less.

A Bridge You Can Cross

The evidence of things not seen (Hebrews 11:1)

There are times in our lives when

Something happens which does not make sense.

“Why Father, why?”… We cry.

“I will drag you where you refuse to go, My child,” He answers.

“Lay down your burdens at My feet.

Although there appears to be no bridge,

Leap with faith across the span

And you will find your foot touches solid ground.

For I Am the Rock upon which sits the lighthouse.

The beacon in your heart sounding through the darkness,

Calling to your soul at the very times you cannot see the way,

When you are blind to victory you have in Me.

Oh My child, My ways are not yet your ways

For they are as high as the stars.

All that happens in your life is to glorify Me

Should you choose the truth.

For I Am the truth!

And the truth will set you free.

Free to cross even the bridge you cannot see.”

True Love Is Choice Not An Emotion

I’ve done thousands of videos. Many lessons learned. Figuring out what love is, makes this message one that I would put at the top of my list as one of my most important videos ever made. The understanding in this video will truly set you free.

Heel Marks in the Sand

“It was then that I dragged you My child!”

Stop trying to see or feel your way into My Kingdom, for it is not a Kingdom that comes by way of sight or sensations, but rather, a Kingdom of knowing, knowing the My mind deep within. The Kingdom of the Mighty One does not come with observation; nor will they say, ‘See here!’ or ‘See there!’ For indeed, the Kingdom of the Mighty One is within you.” (Luke 17:20-21) My Kingdom is Hebraic, not Greek. It is truth, not philosophical theory. And it is of the mind (the Hebraic heart), not the emotional heart (the Greek heart).

When your faith is built on emotions, you set yourself up for failure loved one. Emotional faith is built on a shaky foundation; sinking sand if you need a more picturesque description (Matthew 7:26). It wavers depending on what you feel in your “heart,” as if your heart remains uncircumcised (Greek). The uncircumcised heart is “wicked above all things!” (Jeremiah 17:9) It is subjected to human thoughts and emotions, as opposed to the circumcised heart, which loves and obeys Me no matter what it feels like (Deuteronomy 30:1-6).

In the original Garden I gave only commands, yet you, as they did, continue to live as if My intention was to give you “free will.” When did I give you a choice about which trees were “yes” and which tree was specifically “no”? Where did I imply that they, and now you, should choose “what you think is best?”

Your redemption, that which sealed your place in eternity, was My Sovereign decision. It was not a walk along the beach during which I carried you when things were rough and you walked on your own when all was good. Before your redemption, NOTHING was good. But, once that was finished, you were required to learn how to pick up your own torture stake and prove that you love Me (Luke 9:23). How? Those who love Me “Keep My commands?” (John 14:15) It is not a choice to do so, however; that is where the deception remains. You cannot declare that you love Me and disobey My commands? Tell Me if you think otherwise.

Listen to Me loved one; if all of your choices apart from My supernatural intervention brought death prior to your redemption, then how can you believe My purpose was to give you “freedom” to choose now? Are you starting to see it? If you choose anything apart from My will, you are not free; that is bondage. True freedom is having no choices. When My way is the only way, then you are truly free.

If you attempt to “choose” otherwise, then I must drag you.

From Prison to Praise – Sing In Darkness

The End from the Beginning: a Journey into Faith

(#026 from Suffer Well Devotional Series©)

He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also He has put eternity in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that the Almighty does from beginning to end. (Ecclesiastes 3:11)

I worship nonstop and I endure. It’s all about His will for me and yes, the unknown of that is mysterious and sometimes it can even seem overwhelming. I am learning to trust more in the process every day and am comforted by that fact. Yahweh knows the truth of all this you know. Do you know? He has declared the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things that are not yet done, saying, “My counsel shall stand, and I will do all My pleasure.” (Isaiah 46:10)

“See, it is I who created the blacksmith who fans the coals into flame and forges a weapon fit for its work. And it is I who have created the destroyer to wreak havoc; no weapon forged against you will prevail, and you will refute every tongue that accuses you. This is the heritage of the servants of Yahweh, and this is their vindication from Me,” declares Yahweh. (Isaiah 54:16-17)

I am comforted by the reality that the weapon that now wounds me so very deeply is formed by His hand. Its intent is to heal, and yet, it profoundly does so through loss. My experience has made me know what it means to fix my gaze upon Him. Because Sovereign Yahweh helps me, I will not be disgraced. Therefore have I set my face like flint, and I know I will not be put to shame. (Isaiah 50:7) Yes indeed, I set my face like a flint, and I determine to suffer well, for my life, my true life, my spirit life, is found in the suffering.

As for blessing those who harm me and praising Yahweh in the process, they are keys to effective Kingdom living. Yes, blessing others and worshipping through pain; that’s what He’s looking for, I am quite sure.

But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you. (Matthew 5:44)

Burdened with Blessings
