Our Family Yisrael

  (Jerusalem, Israel, Tower of David, March 2007) 

Word from my heart today.

Romiyah 11:5 Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to His election by unmerited favor.  6 And if by unmerited favor, then is it no more by mitzvoth: otherwise unmerited favor is not unmerited favor. But if it is by mitzvoth, then is it no more unmerited favor: unless work is not work. 7 What then? Yisrael has not obtained that which they sought for; but the chosen remnant has obtained it, and the rest were blinded.  8 According as it is written, YHVH has given them the ruach of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear; to this day. 9 And Dawid says, Let their shulchan be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumbling-block, and a reward to them: 10 Let their eyes become darkened, that they may not see, and be hunchbacked always.  11 I say then, have they stumbled that they should fall le-olam-va-ed? Let it not be: but rather through their fall salvation has gone out to the nations, for to provoke them to jealousy.

We of unmerited favor should greatly understand what is this great unmerited favor that we have, as our lifetime journey is to love him who is our unmerited favor and to know more about him in Spirit and Truth.  All know whom is the unmerited favor that we have dwelling within our temple made of clay, the wonderful righteous LIVING word of YHVH whom is Yahushua of Spirit and Truth.  It is a great thing to know that he is not just Yeshua, our salvation, who lived by Torah but also, is the LIVING Torah as our Yahushua!!, his very being.

Each of us examines our LIVING Yahushua, from all of our different perspectives, as each of us see and hear from different angles in seeing our great and wonderful and awesome LIVING word of YHVH!!, but is the SAME one we all examine!   The fellowship of brothers and sisters in our journey upon the path of life in this world gives us the encouragement to stay on that path, to exhort, to lift up those whom may have fallen, to carry those whom may have grown tired, to call out to those whom may have wandered off of the path as they are heard thrashing about in the brush, marching on with those whom are marching and running with those whom are running. 

Who is it that does not get excited about running with those whom run?  

Blessings to all of the leaders of YISRAEL whom are running after messiah Yahushua to bring about his great purposes in bringing all of us together again!  There is so much good teaching and moving of the Ruach HaKodesh to pull Yisrael together like opposite poles of two magnets. 

How glorious it is to be where there is LIFE and DIVERSITY, where there are all kinds of thoughts about the path that we are on, but to always remember that in the end of it all, we LOVE our YHVH Yahushua, and as a secondary thing to our primary LOVE, we love our brothers and sisters in YHVH as we LOVE ourselves.    Some in fellowship of unity and some finding the tough love of what it means as we LOVE YHVH above all else. 

And, knowing that each of us hold our savior as a precious jewel, special to each one as he sees us as precious sheep and each one is special to him.  It is easy to forget that we all have this same experience in him if we LOVE him greatly, and would not ever trade the one on one time that he gives each of us for anything!  Then we share our experiences, not to glorify ourselves but to LOVE whom we LOVE the most, to give of ourselves as we walk upon the road of this life, knowing that it will lead to everlasting life if we stay upon it.

Thoughts for the day.

Beresheeth was the living Torah, and the living Torah was with YHVH, and the living Torah was YHVH.  2 The same was in the beginning with YHVH.  3 All things were made by Him; and without Him was not anything made that was made.  4 In Him was chayim; and the chayim was the Light of men.  5 And the Light shines in darkness; and the darkness did not overcome it.

Books could be written based upon these few words of scripture.  Nonetheless, could never expound the true meaning found in our LIVING YHVH Yahushua, whom is the LIVING Torah, whom fulfills, is fulfilling and will fulfill all of the word of whom he IS!!, the same yesterday, today and forever, the Aleph/Tav, the Alpha/Omega, whom made all things and by whom all things exist!  This same one dwelling within each of his Children of Yisrael whom are the temple of the Ruach HaKodesh, bringing in his LIGHT and his LIFE to us, even his eternal LIFE.  Can that be more awesome?   We already have EVERYTHING we will ever need, forever!!

We have heard so many differences of the written word concerning whom he truly is, knowing that the written word can only describe him and the things about him and his desires for his people Yisrael.

As the LIVING Word of YHVH, Yahushua, gives his righteousness to each of us as the true LIVING Word of Righteousness when he comes to dwell in the heart of each of his people whom are the temple of his blood flow of the set-apart Ruach HaKodesh as we have faith in him as we have heard his call, of the LIVING word and have opened the door of our heart to let him in!!

Knowing that the LIVING word of YHVH whom became a curse for all mankind upon the cross exactly as it was written in the Word of Himself, never changed himself, nor did away with himself but is 100% the true LIVING Word of YHVH without change and without compromise.  The new covenant, not of written words, but the real deal, the genuine living WORD of YHVH in bodily form, whom is now at the right hand of YHVH, even being the one LIVING Passover for all of his Yisrael!!   Even whom will one day, show us all that he is the LIVING Resurrection and even still 100% the LIVING Word of Abba YHVH, the same Yahushua.

I’ve experienced and as many have whom have gone fishing in this world, so many who try to give ‘PROOF’ of the existence of YHVH.  So many words, thousands upon thousands, written for or against so called ‘PROOF’ that YHVH exists and the same about our savior.

What could cause all to stop and think, even on both sides of the fence when believers are trying to witness to non-believers?  Even so we understand that we put out the bait and none will take it unless they hear the call of Abba YHVH in the first place.

There is evidence everywhere, evidence of the existence of YHVH, Yahushua that all of his word is true, however, only if we have his perspective.  This “evidence only” of what we experience through our five senses is a blessing to we his people Yisrael.  But, we know we have a much better thing than what our five senses can know about!

To a non-believer all they ever get is much evidence, which can never be the ‘PROOF’ that they may seek.  From the perspective of the carnal mind which is enmity against Abba YHVH, the non-believer will view everything of evidence from their perspective of enmity.  That is, unless the Ruach HaKodesh calls upon them to convict them of their sin and to stir them to give an answer within themselves to say Yes or No as they get a glimpse of the perspective of Abba YHVH. 

We whom are with unmerited favor know this as it has happened to us and we have answered Yes!!   This analysis to help us understand what we need to remember and know, to keep us from arguing with an unbeliever, to leave our feelings out of it, to totally follow the Ruach and allow him to work as we keep throwing out the bait.  If you fish for sharks, keep your hands out of the water, so to speak.  We need to remember to let YHVH take up for himself and to keep on throwing out the bait, closing our ears to what we may get back in return of those whom will take offense. 

Even carrying this further as YHVH Yahushua has us throw out the bait to those Yisraelites whom are still resisting the move of Abba YHVH to “COME OUT OF HER MY PEOPLE”! 

Now, we already know what is the ‘PROOF’!  100% PROOF, the PERFECT LIVING TORAH, YHVH Yahushua, whom never changed himself or did away with himself!!  The same for us, the same for anyone, much evidence is everywhere, expounded in truth only by the Ruach HaKodesh, but for non-believers, whom will NEVER get the ‘PROOF’ without answering the call of Abba  whom is the 100% PROOF WORD OF YHVH YAHUSHUA!

Never give up the FAITH in our LIVING Yahushua!, the one and same whom gives us his righteousness by his flowing set-apart Ruach HaKodesh.  To honor him and love him, whom has put himself on the inside of us!  Not to try to establish our own righteousness in the written word, but to establish it by FAITH in the LIVING Word, the one whom is righteous before our YHVH, even the same our LIVING Yahushua!  Then obeying him and honoring him, in Spirit and Truth where there is no condemnation but a true joy and love for doing as best as we can outwardly what he has written perfectly within our heart, the same one whom has never changed nor done away with any of himself!  Teaching and obeying his commandments!

Shalom, Emet and Ahava in Yahushua our LIVING WORD of Abba YHVH!
