JOY TO THE WORLD – MERRY YAHUSHUA BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION

And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
Luke 2:10 (KJV)

Luke 2:6-7 says, ‘6 And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. 7 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.’ The groping in the dark was finally over. The Way was born. Angels heralded it with joy. Luke 2:8-15, ‘8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. 9 And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. 10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. 11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. 12 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. 13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, 14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. 15 And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.’

EXPECT DIVINE VISITATION – YAHUSHUA’S BIRTHDAY EVE

And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.
Luke 1:28 (KJV)

It takes a divine visitation to establish a great celebration in the lives of people. This is a season of divine visitation and you must not be carried away with the celebration and miss the visitation. It is the visitation that establishes a change of story that leads to the celebration. We are celebrating the result of a great visitation both to the lives of Mary and Joseph in particular and to humanity at large. I desire that you connect to their testimony and ask Yahweh for a visitation to you today that people will read tomorrow and glorify Him. Now it doesn’t matter how bad your situation is, the visitation of Yahweh will give you a change of story. For several years, Elizabeth was called barren but one day in Luke 1:11-20, there was a divine visitation to Zechariah her husband which established a change of story for her. Over the next nine months, the barren become a joyful mother of a prophet by that great visitation.

QUALIFICATION TO BE LED (7): NO PRECONCEIVED OPTIONS

Son of man, these men have set up their idols in their heart, and put the stumblingblock of their iniquity before their face: should I be enquired of at all by them?
Ezekiel 14:3 (KJV)

Ezekiel 14:4 says, ‘Therefore speak unto them, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; Every man of the house of Israel that setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to the prophet; I the Lord will answer him that cometh according to the multitude of his idols;’ Yahweh is saying that don’t come to seek for my direction if you already have option in your heart. You have decided what to do then you come to the Lord and say “Lord, what do you want me to do about so so and so?” Meanwhile, you have already made up your mind on what you are doing. That attitude blocks you from ever accessing divine direction. You must come to the Lord with open mind like a baby who truly does not know what to do concerning the area you are seeking direction from Yahweh. Yahweh says, if you have your preconceived ways and you come to make a fool of Yahweh, then He will make a fool of you. He will answer you according to your heart. You know what that means? He will okay whatever you have made up your mind to do even if it will take your life, He would not disturb you. He is answering you according to your heart.

QUALIFICATION TO BE LED (6): PRAISE LIFESTYLE

Ye shall have a song, as in the night when a holy solemnity is kept; and gladness of heart, as when one goeth with a pipe to come into the mountain of the Lord, to the mighty One of Israel.
Isaiah 30:29 (KJV)

It is a spiritual reality that having a song facilitates hearing from Yahweh. At a point, the prophet Elisha needed to know what Yahweh was saying to the kings that came to inquire of the Lord about the journey they were undertaking. In II Kings 3:15 Prophet Elisha requested that a minstrel be brought to him and as the minstrel played the hand of the Lord came upon the Prophet and he prophesied. Praise is Yahweh’s habitat. When praise is available the presence of Yahweh is invoked and when Adonai is available, then His voice can be heard. Anyone that desires to get divine direction must strive to provide the atmosphere for the presence of Yahweh. You must run away from any form of gloom, anger, boredom, depression and weariness. These are enemies of Yahweh’s presence. Do you know that in the ancient times, you dare not appear before a king with a sad face. That is automatic death sentence. It is considered as treason. How are kings welcomed? By singing and dancing and rejoicing. Earthly kings learnt those protocols from Yahweh. You cannot have access to the presence of Yahweh with a gloomy heart and face. You want direction from Yahweh? Then you need to enter His presence first.

QUALIFICATION TO BE LED (5): BE QUIET

And after the earthquake a fire; but the Lord was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.
I Kings 19:12 (KJV)

In our quest to access divine direction, we must maintain quietness in our spirit and in our environment. This is the reason Yahweh calls people up a physical mountain to meet them. It is to come out of the distractions of their environment and family. It takes a great level of quietness and serenity to hear Yahweh’s voice of direction. Yahweh’s voice of direction is often a still small voice that sounds in your spirit and you are likely to miss it if you are rowdy in your spirit and if your environment is not serene. If divine direction is your quest, then you must seek to maintain a quiet spirit and environment. You can engage in activities that can quiet your spirit and bring it to the state of tranquillity. In Isaiah 14:7, the Word says, ‘The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet: they break forth into singing.’ Singing spiritual songs quiets your spirit. If you are agitated, then separate yourself and begin to sing to the Lord. Spiritual songs relaxes your spirit and even your soul and body, bringing you to a complete state of quietness.

QUALIFICATION TO BE LED (4): BE IN FAITH

QUALIFICATION TO BE LED (4): BE IN FAITH

(As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.
Romans 4:17 (KJV)

Yahweh spoke about Abraham, ‘For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the Lord, to do justice and judgment; that the Lord may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him.’ That is before Yahweh ever start speaking to a person, he checks if you believe Him enough to regard what He is going to tell you. Yahweh was going to check if what He heard about the people of Sodom was truly how they were and He passed through the house of Abraham. Then Yahweh said to Himself ‘And the Lord said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do;’ Adonai saw that Abraham believes everything He tells him so it evoked His desire to confide in Abraham what He was going to do in Sodom. Beloved, faith is a crucial qualification to access divine direction. Yahweh does not speak to those who make light of His Word. If Yahweh’s Word is not a matter of life and death for you then you would not be able to access it. You must believe El-Shaddai enough to act on whatever He tells you to do.

QUALIFICATION TO BE LED (3): BE IN AND WALK IN LOVE

QUALIFICATION TO BE LED (3): BE IN AND WALK IN LOVE

If ye love me, keep my commandments.
John 14:15 (KJV)

John 14:16-17 says, ‘16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; 17 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 context of this scripture shows us that your ability to walk with the Holy Spirit is conditioned upon you loving the Lord Yahushua HaMashiach. You can see that loving the Lord Yahushua is not a thing of saying “I love You Lord” that may definitely be included but loving the Lord is keeping his commandments. Keeping the commandments of Yahweh is in two folds. Firstly, is to believe in the Son of Yahweh Yahushua HaMashiach. I John 3:23 says, ‘And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.’ This is the first step towards keeping the new covenant commandment. The rationale is that a dead person does not keep any commandment. Without coming to the life quickening Spirit Yahushua HaMashiach to be quickened, you are permanently dead in trespasses and condemned to eternal damnation (see Colossians 2:13). The dead has no business with the living. You cannot communicate with the Holy Spirit, if your spirit is dead, therefore divine direction does not pertain to such a person.

QUALIFICATION TO BE LED (1): BE HIS SON

For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

Romans 8:14 (KJV)

From today to a couple of days coming, we shall be examining what qualifies one to be led by Yahweh. Does Adonai lead everyone? Are there indications that will place one on the pedestal where He can access divine direction? Now the truth is that Yahweh is always speaking. But the problem is not many people are connected with Him at His frequency in order to receive His signals. For instance, that you are not tuned in to a radio station that is broadcasting does not negate the fact that they are broadcasting. With the right equipment and tuning, you are in to receive their waves and suddenly you come alive to their service and under the influence of their voice. Yahweh is always speaking, but a lot of people are not turned into His frequency. Today, one qualification we are considering is that you must be a son of Yahweh to be led. A son of Yahweh is that person who has come of age to discern the voice of His Father and is committed to obeying His voice.

KNOW YAHWEH’S LEADING (5): BY VISIONS

KNOW YAHWEH’S LEADING (5): BY VISIONS

And a vision appeared to Paul in the night; There stood a man of Macedonia, and prayed him, saying, Come over into Macedonia, and help us.
Acts 16:9 (KJV)

Vision in this context is the experience where Yahweh opens your eyes to see something while your eyes maybe open or closed. Open vision is where your physical eyes are not closed but you see into the spiritual realm. Visions can come while you are sleeping or while you are awake. Yahweh does not lead us through vision primarily. Visions come as confirmation of what Yahweh is telling us on our inside. Visions are never to lead the church. Visions are judged by the Word of Yahweh just like prophecy. The coming of the Holy Spirit sparked off an era of visionary encounters. Acts 2:17 says, ‘And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:’
