YHWH is with you

The patriarch Abraham was a man like Enoch and Noah who walked with YHWH.  We also know of the Priest Melchizedek and it is believed that Job lived around  the time of Abraham who were  men who walked with YHWH also.  Most other men of the day if they had any knowledge of YHWH possessed a superficial knowledge of YHWH.  They may have heard of him from a secondary or tertiary source.  Abraham had an intimacy with him in that YHWH spoke with him, he spoke with YHWH , his Holy Messengers and he walked in obedience to the Word of YHWH.  Today we live in time of great advancement of technology, travel and communications but many still don’t know YHWH. There are countless hours of Preachers on YouTube and Facebook. Commentaries, translations and interpretations of the bible and there continue to be a lack of Faith who’s chief fruit is obedience to the Word of YHWH.  This is the “perilous time “ (2 Timothy 3:1) that Paul warned Timothy about.  The world if full of idolaters and self idolaters who are blind and deaf to the word of YHWH.  They see it, hear it but don’t perceive it.  They don’t live it and become haughty when they are told of their sin like the religious leader of Yeshua’s day.   Sin in any fashion, hatred bitterness, lies and hypocrisy is rebellion and not in harmony with the Lord God Almighty. There are a myriad of individuals who have not grasped  the necessary faith and knowledge to step beyond the veil of hearing about YHWH to knowing him for themselves. You cannot profess knowing Him and maintain lust, lasciviousness and evil in your heart.  There is a difference between “Saved” and “unsaved”, between being Born of the Spirit” and not born of the Spirit, this is the word of Yeshua and not the judgment of a man or philosophy. Jesus answered, “Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. (John 3:5)” Some have grown up going to church but have never been born again into the true Church The body of Ha Mashiach).  They have a secondary knowledge of YHWH, knowing the songs, the rituals, the jargon of a church goer yet they have nor received the Holy Spirit as Yeshua says.  It always advantageous to make sure you are not walking in error instead of walking with the King.  Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates? (II Corinthians 13:5

The Apostles spent years walking with Yeshua and did not really know who he really is until later in his ministry, one of them never did.  Even some of the disciples after receiving the Holy Spirit and walking in his calling made an error but were corrected by Paul and stepped back into line to be in sync with the true Gospel. There is nothing more important to an individual than securing and maintaining one’s own salvation. The Word exhorts us “Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. (Philippians 2:12-13) “.  It is the Holy Spirit who is our comforter and guide working in us by His power to lead us on a straight path to eternity. Our responsibility is to yield to the Holy Spirit in all matters. We are also reminded  “¶ Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. ¶ Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil. It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones. (Proverbs 3:5-8)”. Doing this requires quiet submission to the voice and the leaning of the Holy Spirit who always unctions us in all matters.  You cannot hear see or fill Him if you are not leaning to him and leaning to other spirits.  

When you are walking with YHWH, you are communing with Him, therefore in his presence.  In the the presence of the Lord is peace joy power and victory, whatever you do, you should prosper.  The Lord led Abraham every step of the way when he listened. David was very keen on following the leading of the Lord which is why he is called “a man after the heart of YHWH”.  He was not perfect but his obedience and Faith caused him to win in the end. Psalm 23.  The Lord spoke through Angels and signs to the patriarchs.  We have the Holy Spirit to lean on while we are on this tedious journey. How much more should we be in tune with YHWH  and each other. We also have Yeshua advocating for us and the Holy Spirit interceding for us.  YHWH has set us up for victory in all things.  Whatever comes your way remember that He is there with you.  “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. (II Timothy 1:7)”. Sometimes you may not hear the Lord but that is a sign for you to stop look and listen for the direction of the Holy Spirit.  Pray until you do get a response, call a prayer partner, fast and courageously trust in the Lord.  Don’t lean to spirits of anxiety, self doubt and depression.  Don’t walk into those places because the Lord is not there.  When you are saved and filled with the Holy Spirit, those things don’t belong to you.   “Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength: (Isaiah 26:3-4)”.  Yeshua has already won our battles for us, we only need to walk with him.
