When one squeezes and apple, apple juice comes out..right?
When one squeezes and Orange, Orange juice comes out...right?
If you were to squeeze an apple and orange juice came out...Weird..something not
right!
Tell me then why is it when many times, WE who claim to walk in “The Way”, when
we are squeezed, everything but Yahusha ha Mashiach comes out???
This should not be!
When Trials, tribulations, and suffering for Yahusha HaMashiach, one portrays the abundance of ones heart, not unlike the Apple, or Orange, ones true nature or
(changed nature) should pour forth, exposing the Light and Life of our Example
Yahusha HaMashiach! - right?
If HIS life is not manifest in our trials, suffering, and tribulations, what
then??
We should examine ourselves to see if we be in the Faith!...
Are we showing the nature of the Lamb? Quiet gentle and meek, lowly in heart,
exuding love at every turn, following in the Shepherd’s example, and even when rebuking and reproving with the WORD, do we do it in LOVE, considering ourselves
lest we fall?
Or DO WE exhibit a “goat” nature, head butting rebellion, stubborn self willed
and resisting instructions? (Torah)?
Be Encourage for HE told us HE overcame the world and all the lusts therein, if we
posses the Spirit (Ruach) of the Most High Yah, then it should pour forth from us
when persecuted.
Look at Bro Stephens example: He forgave them and ask that this Sin (Tansgression
of Torah) would not be caounted against the ones stoning him to death? WHY? YOU
SAY? How could Stephen do this? BECAUSE Stephen was dead before he ever was
struck by the first stone!
When Stephen, our precious Brother and respected part of the Body of Mashiach,
when SQUEEZED! The Teachings of Mashiach Yahusha poured out of him!
Notice he did not take a sword and start whacking on the ones throwing the stones!
REMEMBER Saints, something the Father spoke to me years ago...’YOU CANNOT OFFEND A DEAD MAN!..
You can go right up to the casket and yell incideous remarks, preduciced and bigoted statments, slap him, curse him, yet he does NOT respond. Why? Simple, because he is “dead” are we not suppose to Mimic THE SAME ACTIONS?
IF WE ARE DEAD IN MESSIAH, SHOULD WE NOT PORTRAY THE SAME?
When we are squeezed should not the Spirit of the Most High Yah, pour forth from
our life? to GIVE glory, ESTEEM AND honor TO THE CREATOR, AND TO the
MASHIACH YAHUSHA??
I WOULD CERTAINLY SAY SCRIPTURES TEACHES US IT SHOULD...
Many of my Brother and Sister carry weapons of this world on thier sides, and
Father be the judge of the reasons why, but A dear Brother of mine once had a dream. There was a noise outside the house early one morning, and a man was coming up
the walkway to kill him, his wife, and the babies. My Brother who was an excellent
shot, took his rifle and easily took the life of the man coming up the walk. He then said he again heard a noise outside the homestead, and there were 5 men coming up the walkway, with the same intentions as the previous man had to do harm. My Brother took again to his rifle and easily killed the 5 men. Once, as before a loud noise from outside his
bedroom, and he said as far as he could see, there were busses of men bent on the
same fate for him and his family. My Brother said he cried out Yahusha (Jes-s) help
me, and he said the sobering response was, I would have helped you on the very first
man, but you thought you could take care of the situation on your own, even up to the 5 men, you thought the same. When the situation became way too much for you , then
you cried out for my help.
The lesson i learned, if Yah be for you WHO can be against you? If Yah, our Creator
sees fit for me to be martyred, so be it, i would not see taking up “my own will”
perhaps against the Very Father Yahuah, Creator. ARE WE TRULY BOUGHT WITH
A PRICE??? Yes and we are NOT OUR OWN! - I’m certainly NOT a coward, but i do
not want to be in a situation where i am fight against Yahuah!
We must be fully filled with the Ruach (Spirit) the ha Kodesh, the Set-Apart (Holy)
Spirit, and fully close to the very heart of Yah, with full discernment, to know what to do in every situation, and you do not get that way, watching 60 hours a week on TV,
internet! Ball games, entertainment of the world...TIMES ARE COMING and are
upon us, we MUSTA BE FULL SOLD OUT, 100% with every fiber of our being, prayed up, and praying to be coundted worthy to escape the things coming upon this earth,
where men’s hearts will be failing them for fear of those things...WE that are here,
MUST help thos not unlike the ones in NINEVAH, who do NOT KNOW thier left
ahdnd from thier right, we must give our lives in order to save our lives..BE ENCOURAGED.
Many people shout for joy, and love this flollowing WORD!
This is called the “FAITH” Chapter..read the following section...Then we'll continue.
Heb 11:1 And belief is the substance of what is expected, the proof of what is not seen.
Heb 11:2 For by this the elders obtained witness.
Heb 11:3 By belief, we understand that the ages were prepared by the word of Elohim, so that what is seen was not made of what is visible.
Heb 11:4 By belief, Heḇel offered to Elohim a greater slaughter offering than Qayin,
(cain) through which he obtained witness that he was righteous, Elohim witnessing
of his gifts. And through it, having died, he still speaks.
Heb 11:5 By belief, Ḥanoḵ was translated so as not to see death, “and was not found
because Elohim had translated him.” For before his translation he obtained witness,
that he pleased Elohim.
Heb 11:6 But without belief it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to Elohim has to believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who earnestly seek Him.
Heb 11:7 By belief, Noaḥ, having been warned of what was yet unseen, having feared, prepared an ark to save his house, through which he condemned the world and
became heir of the righteousness which is according to belief.
Heb 11:8 By belief, Aḇraham obeyed when he was called to go out to the place which
he was about to receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he
was going.
Heb 11:9 By belief, he sojourned in the land of promise as a stranger, dwelling in
tents with Yitsḥaq and Yaʽaqoḇ, the heirs with him of the same promise,
Heb 11:10 for he was looking for the city having foundations, whose builder and
maker is Elohim.
Heb 11:11 By belief also, Sarah herself was enabled to conceive seed, and she bore a
child when she was past the normal age, because she deemed Him trustworthy who
had promised.
Heb 11:12 And so from one, and him as good as dead, were born as numerous as the
stars of the heaven, as countless as the sand which is by the seashore.
Heb 11:13 In belief all these died, not having received the promises,|super 1 but seeing them from a distance, welcomed and embraced them, and confessed that they were aliens
and strangers on the earth. Footnote: 1See v. 39.
Heb 11:14 For those who speak this way make it clear that they seek a fatherland.
Heb 11:15 And yet, if they had indeed kept remembering that place from which they
had come out, they would have had the chance to return.
Heb 11:16 But now they long for a better place, that is, a heavenly. Therefore Elohim
is not ashamed to be called their Elohim, for He has prepared a city for them.
Heb 11:17 By belief, Aḇraham, when he was tried, offered up Yitsḥaq, and he who had received the promises offered up his only brought-forth son,
Heb 11:18 of whom it was said, “In Yitsḥaq your seed shall be called,”
Heb 11:19 reckoning that Elohim was able to raise, even from the dead, from which
he received him back, as a type.
Heb 11:20 By belief, Yitsḥaq blessed Yaʽaqoḇ and Ěsaw concerning that which was to
come.
Heb 11:21 By belief, Yaʽaqoḇ, when he was dying, blessed each of the sons of Yosĕph,
and did reverence on the top of his staff.
Heb 11:22 By belief, Yosĕph, when he was dying, made mention of the outgoing of the children of Yisra’ĕl, and gave orders concerning his bones.
Heb 11:23 By belief, Mosheh, having been born, was hidden three months by his
parents, because they saw he was a comely child, and were not afraid of the
sovereign’s command.
Heb 11:24 By belief, Mosheh, having become great, refused to be called the son of the daughter of Pharaoh,
Heb 11:25 choosing rather to be afflicted with the people of Elohim than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a time,
Heb 11:26 deeming the reproach of Messiah greater riches than the treasures in
Mitsrayim, for he was looking to the reward.
Heb 11:27 By belief, he left Mitsrayim, not fearing the wrath of the sovereign, for he
was steadfast, as seeing Him who is invisible.
Heb 11:28 By belief, he performed the Passover and the sprinkling of blood, lest he
who destroyed the first-born should touch them.
Heb 11:29 By belief, they passed through the Red Sea as by dry land, and when the Mitsrites tried it, they were drowned.
Heb 11:30 By belief, the walls of Yeriḥo fell, having been surrounded for seven days.
Heb 11:31 By belief, Raḥaḇ the whore did not perish with those who did not believe,
having received the spies with peace.
Heb 11:32 And what more shall I say? For the time would fail me to relate of Gidʽon and Baraq and Shimshon and Yiphtaḥ, also of Dawiḏ and Shemu’ĕl and the prophets,
Heb 11:33 who through belief, overcame reigns, worked righteousness, obtained
promises, stopped the mouths of lions,
Heb 11:34 quenched the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, became mighty in battle, put foreign armies to flight.
Heb 11:35 Women received back their dead by resurrection.
This next section is the one that inspires me the most. The first part of Heb 11,
is in and of itself extremely inspiring at all the wondrous and marvelous things that
Yah has and is doing to this day for the Saints. But this next section is my favorite,
showing those that fully trusted in Yahuah, and considered not their won live, but the
will and Plan of Yahuah was more important than their very lives, these are some of
those that truly DID NOT LOVE THEIR LIVES UNTO DEATH!..I pray i am counted
worthy of such honor, and bring Esteem and glory to our Father Yahuah, and
ha Mashiach Yahusha HalleluYAH!
As you read this next section witness the Ruach touch your hearts with this extreme
love towards the Father - HalleluYAH!!!
Heb 11:35b And others were tortured, not accepting release, to obtain a
better resurrection.
Heb 11:36 And others had trial of mockings and floggings and more, of
chains and imprisonment.
Heb 11:37 They were stoned, they were tried, they were sawn in two, they were slain with the sword. They went about in sheepskins, in goatskins, being
in need, afflicted, mistreated,
[Heb 11:38 of ******whom the world was not worthy ******– wandering
in deserts and mountains and caves and holes of the earth. ]
Heb 11:39 And having obtained witness through the belief, all these did
not receive the promise,1 Footnote: 1See v. 13.
Heb 11:40 Elohim having provided what is better for us, that they should
not be made perfect apart from us.
The bracketed section being my favorite, Paul said “Of whom the world was not worthy”
Imagine, such a profound statement by an honored man of Yahuah, Paul...saying of whom the world was NOT worthy..HalleluYAH
What men and women of Elohim!
Father, ABBA that i could but achieve such an high honor, and all the
Praise, Glory, and HONOR would have to return unto you for without
YOU Abba, we (I) are nothing..but dust.
Love your Brother Barry and fellow laborer in Yahusha ha Mashiach
