TO ENCOUNTER THE WORD (5): ENGAGE THE RUACH HAKADOSH

Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself? but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.

John 16:13 (KJV)

The Bible is not a newspaper or magazine. II Peter 1:21 says, ‘For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.’ The Bible is the product of the Holy Ghost. The Bible is the collection of the inspiration of the Ruach HaKadosh. This is why it is expedient to engage the author of the Bible in trying to understand and apply what He inspired. It is the moving of the Holy Spirit on the lives of holy men of Yahweh that resulted in the Bible. That is to say that there is no other person that knows the Bible like the author, the blessed Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is our teacher and guide into the deep things of the Father. He guides us into all truth. The Word of Yahweh is the truth and it takes the Ruach HaKadosh (Spirit the Holy) to come into this truth. With the Holy Spirit, the Bible is new everyday because He keeps expounding the truth and bringing out new things from same chapter and verse that you have been reading everyday.

TO ENCOUNTER THE WORD (4): STAY LONG ON THE WORD

TO ENCOUNTER THE WORD (4): STAY LONG ON THE WORD

They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to seek mixed wine.
Proverbs 23:30 (KJV)

No matter how light a person is, no one gets intoxicated with one cup of wine. Conversely, no matter how hard a person is, tarrying long at the wine will pass even the hardest person out. That is true with the Word. Just skipping a few pages, won’t achieve the result we are describing this month. It is tarrying long with the Word that brings about saturation. There is what is called saturation. It is the act of soaking thoroughly with a liquid. You cannot encounter the Word with a measure that cannot even satisfy you. Before you talk of saturation, then you have gone beyond satisfaction. But you are still in control at the level of satisfaction. We are talking of the level where you are no more in control. We are saying, stay long with the Word until the Word takes a hold of you and begins to control you and your actions. We are saying that the Word cannot saturate you in the skimpy way that you are handling the Word now. The principle of intoxication is staying long at the wine of the Word. Isaiah 5:11 confirms that it takes staying long at wine to be inflamed therewith, “Woe unto them that rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink; that continue until night, till wine inflame them!”

TO ENCOUNTER THE WORD (2): MEDITATE

TO ENCOUNTER THE WORD (2): MEDITATE

Meditate upon these things? give thyself wholly to them? that thy profiting may appear to all.
I Timothy 4:15 (KJV)

To meditate means to mutter; to speak to yourself in a low tone over a subject for over a period of time. Reading the Word is likened to eating food. The Word is spiritual food for the spirit-man. But what you eat doesn’t profit your body until it is digested and assimilated. Meditation is spiritual digestion and assimilation of the Word into your spirit-man. Joshua 1:8 says, ‘This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.’ Reading the Word is putting it into your mouth but beloved, don’t stop there, go further to speak that Word to yourself. To meditate actually means to murmur. Murmuring is a negative word because it is dwelling on the things that are not working in your life. But the process of murmuring is the same with meditation, the only difference is on what you are dwelling on in the process. When you are dwelling on the Word, murmuring it to yourself, it is called scriptural meditation. Meditation is not a gift, it is the result of the overflow of the Word in your spirit-man. Most times, meditation is involuntary. Other times, you must be intentional on what you are meditating upon. But I want you to see that when you flood your mind intensely and densely with the Word, meditation becomes involuntary. At all times, your mind is on the Word. This is the level and dimension I desire you come into.

TO ENCOUNTER THE WORD (1): BE CONSISTENT IN READING, LISTENING AND STUDY

TO ENCOUNTER THE WORD (1): BE CONSISTENT IN READING, LISTENING AND STUDY

Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
II Timothy 2:15 (KJV)

Beginning from today, we are going to examine how we can encounter the Word. With all we have seen the Word can do for us, unless we connect with the Word, we cannot enjoy the benefits. So how can we experience the Word and have the Word impart and metamorphose us? As we begin to unfold how we can do this, believe Yahweh to be a doer and not a hearer only. Decide to do and plan to do. Set Word objectives of what you must be covering in the light of what we are going to be showing you in a couple of days to come. It is He that does the Word that is blessed in his/her life (see James 1:22-25). The first way we encounter the Word is to hear it. Romans 10:17 says, ‘So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.’ Hearing the Word is by reading and listening. When you read, you are engaging your eyes and ears at the same time. This is important because what you see, makes impressions on your mind. The ear and the eyes are major channels into your mind and consequently your spirit-man. Consider this instruction from the Lord through Moses in Deuteronomy 11:19, ‘And ye shall teach them your children, speaking of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.’ This is saying let the ear channel of your children be saturated with the Word practically all the time.

THE WORD IS SETTLED AND ETERNAL

THE WORD IS SETTLED AND ETERNAL

For ever, O Lord, thy word is settled in heaven.
Psalms 119:89 (KJV)

It is the settled Word that settles every issue in your life. The Word of Yahweh is forever settled. Nothing can unsettle the Word. Whatever in your life that is contradicting the Word now can be settled by the Word if you can partner with the settled Word today. If you are sick, for instance, and you partner with Isaiah 53:1-5 which is already fulfilled in Matthew 8:17 and has become a past tense in I Peter 2:24, then that scriptural calculus can terminate whatever sickness, disease or satanic affliction, the bogus name given to it by doctors notwithstanding. That is how the Word settles issues in our lives. The Word is eternal. That means that it is forever. The Word does not change. It will never change because of your situation. Whatever is confronting you now will never make the Word to change, instead the Word has the capacity and capability to change your situation to conform to the Word. Beloved, the Word cannot change. The Word is eternal and constant. Beloved, your circumstances are fleeting and you must commonize them today in the face of the eternal infallible Word of Yahweh. The Lord brought out slaves from captivity with silver and gold. No matter what your financial situation is saying today, you can rise to supernatural order of wealth and affluence by the Word of Yahweh. If you will be diligent to observe and obey the Word, there is a guarantee in Deuteronomy 28:1 that you will emerge on top of whosoever that evokes your admiration now.

THE WORD IS A SPIRITUAL REALITY

THE WORD IS A SPIRITUAL REALITY

It is the spirit that quickeneth? the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
John 6:63 (KJV)

The Word of Yahweh is a spiritual reality. When we say that something is a reality, it means that it is in the state of being actual or real. It means that the state of that thing as it really is rather than as you might want it to be. The Word of Yahweh is a spiritual reality means that the Word is real and an actual person even though it is only related with spiritually. That you do not see it does not in any way reduce or negate its reality. This is critical because you cannot try to understand the Word like you do Physics or Chemistry or any other subject. It takes being in the spirit and being spiritually minded to experience the Word. That is exactly what our opening text is saying that until the Holy Spirit quickens the Word for you, it would remain a story to you. The Word is Spirit and Life and until one is in the spirit, you cannot profit from the Word. At new birth, you have the Holy Spirit in you. It is called the Spirit within. John 14:17 says, ‘Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.’ The work of the Spirit within is to change you into the image of HaMashiach by conforming your character and lifestyle to the image of the Son of Yahweh. As you study the Word, the Spirit within, brings the understanding that makes your life outstanding.

THE WORD IS YAHUSHUA

THE WORD IS YAHUSHUA

And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
John 1:14 [KJV]

In Genesis chapter one, we saw the manifestation of the Father, the Word and the Holy Spirit. The Father spoke the Word and creation happened, while the Holy Ghost was brooding over the surface of the deep. The move of the Holy Spirit alone could not bring about creation. Same today, the move of the Holy Spirit alone in your life, Church, family cannot bring about the creation of your desires. We must learn from the Father, who desired creation and spoke the Word. Creation is a function of the spoken Word and the move of the Spirit. Then, man was created. We had man join the family of The Father, Word and Spirit in the beginning. In the process of time, man sold out to the devil breaking fellowship with the trinity. This resulted in the perfect order being lost and man died (spiritually disconnecting with his source and physically returning to the ground as dust in the process of time) and also inheriting the destiny of Satan which is the lake of fire at the end of the age. To provide man with salvation, the Word had to manifest in the flesh of man. It was the same Word that created all things that was spoken to the virgin Mary that became the Lord Yahushua. The Word was made flesh because He must become like unto his brethren in order to redeem them (see Hebrews 2:17 NET). It must be a man that can redeem the fallen man.

THE WORD CANNOT LIE

#WordForTodayDevotional

Wednesday MAY 3, 2023

THE WORD CANNOT LIE

That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:
Hebrews 6:18 (KJV)

The Word cannot lie. It is impossible for the Word to lie. It is something that cannot happen. If the Word says something, it is better heaven and earth expires than for the Word to fail to come to pass. Matthew 5:18 says, ‘For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.’ The surest thing in time and throughout all eternity is Yahweh’s Word. It is one thing that you can take with your two eyes closed and still not miss your way or target. It is that sure and even more. The Word has been tried seven times and proved true both in heaven, on earth and in hell. Psalms 12:6 says, ‘The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.’ We want you to understand how infallible the Word is and that will built trust in the Word that will become your bedrock for unbelievable success with the Lord. The problem is faith. If you can believe the Word, you can become whatever the Word says, no matter how far removed presently from your reality it is. It is impossible for the Word to fail. The Word is the integrity of the LORD YAHWEH. The Word carries in itself the capacity and capability to become whatever it talks about, the only clause is if the person can believe enough to behave in accordance to the demands of the Word. Mark 9:23 says, ‘Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.’

WHAT DO WE MEAN BY THE WORD?

WHAT DO WE MEAN BY THE WORD?

This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
Joshua 1:8 [KJV]

The Word of Yahweh is what our text calls “this book of the Law”. The Word of Yahweh is the revelations of Yahweh to holy men and women as they were moved by the Holy Spirit. The Word of Yahweh is the Bible as it is today. The Bible is the record of Yahweh’s dealing with people which reveal His person, attributes, nature, likes and dislikes. Our Yahweh is not a god that does not speak. He speaks and has shown us how to know Him. He commanded the people of old to write down His dealings with them so that it will serve as examples and instruction for the generation next. I Corinthians 10:11 says, “Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.” Because our Yahweh is unchanging, who He was yesterday, is who He is today and is who He is going to be tomorrow (see Hebrews 13:8). This means that if you know how he responded to someone yesterday, and you are interested in that order of response, you can replicate it in your own life as you respond just like that person you read about. Our Yahweh has establish laws and principles and if anyone is interested to follow them, he/she will receive according to the expected outcome as written in the Word of Yahweh – the Bible.

WHAT IS THE YAHWEH SAYING FOR MAY 2023?

WHAT IS THE YAHWEH SAYING FOR MAY 2023?

And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.
Acts 20:32 [KJV]

Welcome to the month of grace. The month of May is the month of grace and it shall speak in your life. Happy New Month Beloved! We are deeply grateful and indebted to the Yahweh for this privilege to see a brand new month. To Him alone be all the glory in the wonderful name of the Lord Yahushua HaMashiach Amen! We trust the Father you were blessed and impacted from the torrents of Word on soul-winning, evangelism and ingathering of souls in the month of April 2023. The Lord took us on that journey letting us know that He desires that the soul be saved but more importantly that he/she be gathered into the fold. The Church is the only place on earth that the soul of man can be preserved for the day of the Lord Yahushua. So, ensuring that a soul is saved and gathered into Church to be established is the priority of the Master and partnering with Him on that will bring you into a world of wonders. All that money can buy are added to you supernaturally and more importantly all that money cannot buy are added also when you are in this partnership with the Lord. It is the best kind of investment of life, time, resources and energy there is on earth. It holds the best returns that is unmatchable by all standards both in time and in eternity. I hope you have made that decision to be in.
