TO GET THE YAHWEH-KIND OF FAITH (7): KNOW THE AUTHORITY IN THE NAME OF YAHUSHUA

17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
Mark 16:17-18 (KJV)

We should know that authority as a reality in our own lives. The authority you have in the Name of Yahushua is just as though some wealthy man gave you the power to use his name in an unlimited capacity. What effect would it have if he gave you a legal document? What if he said to use this legal document in order to supply every one of your needs? What if you could do anything you wanted to do in that man’s name! Well, Yahweh has given us the power of attorney to use the Name of Yahushua. This means we have power in that Name over Satan and all the gates of hell. Yahushua said, “. . . In my name … they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover” (see Mark 16:17,18). Yahushua said, “… whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you” (John 15:16). We have authority to use that Name. The Name of Yahushua carries authority on this earth. It is not a matter of faith, but it is a matter of knowing your legal rights in HaMashiach and taking your rightful place as a son or daughter. It is a matter of taking your place in carrying out Yahushua’s will in the earth. Getting us to cooperate with Yahweh is the biggest problem!

TO GET THE YAHWEH-KIND OF FAITH (5): KNOW THE REALITY OF THE INDWELLING PRESENCE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

TO GET THE YAHWEH-KIND OF FAITH (5): KNOW THE REALITY OF THE INDWELLING PRESENCE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
I John 4:4 (KJV)

Of all the mighty truths connected with redemption, this is the apex: Yahweh Himself, after He recreated us and made us new creatures and made us His own, is actually making our bodies His home! When you are born again, it is more than an experience. The Holy Ghost, the Third Person of the Godhead, a divine Personality, comes to live in you. In fact, the Bible even goes so far as to say that Yahweh Himself is living in you. 2 CORINTHIANS 6:16 says, ‘16 … for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell IN them, and walk IN them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.’ Yahweh no longer dwells in the man-made Holy of Holies. Through the new birth, our bodies have become His temple.

1 CORINTHIANS 6:19, 20 says, ‘19 What? know ye not that YOUR BODY IS THE TEMPLE of the Holy Ghost which is IN you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? 20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.’ We need to become “God-inside minded.” In other words, we need to just simply take Yahweh at His Word. We need to believe and act like the Bible is true when it says, “. . . greater is he that is IN you, than he that is in the world” (1 John 4:4)! “He that is in the world” is the god of this world, Satan (2 Corinthians 4:4). But, thank Elohim, He who is in us, the Holy Spirit, the third Person of the Godhead, is greater than he who is in the world! Thank Elohim, Yahweh indwells us as believers, through the Person of the Holy Spirit, today too. Because of the indwelling Presence of the Holy Spirit, it should be a common practice in the Church today for believers to say in every crisis of life, “I am more than a conqueror.” However, the truth is, making positive confessions based on our rights and privileges in HaMashiach is almost an unknown practice in the church world today.

HOW TO ACTIVATE YOUR FAITH (2): ACT ON THE WORD

HOW TO ACTIVATE YOUR FAITH (2): ACT ON THE WORD

And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed.
Luke 17:14 (KJV)

Faith is not a mystery. Faith is responding in obedience to the Word of the Lord – the Bible. Stop struggling to believe; just behave the Word and you commit the one that spoke it to perform. Do you know Yahweh has exalted his Word above all His name? Psalm 138:2 says, “I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.”. One of the things that cannot fail in life is the Word of Yahweh – the Bible. If you can find what is written and act on it, you can rewrite your story. As a believer, you are not helpless and powerless. Faith is the force that makes the almightiness of Yahweh available at your instance. The process of producing proofs is get what is written, activate it by speaking to yourself, devil and Yahweh, receive it by acting out your side of the deal. Every word of Yahweh gives you opportunity of a response.

Ten leprous men came to Yahushua and from a distance shouted to Him, ‘Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.’(Luke 17:13 KJV). In His compassion, The Lord Jesus responded, ‘Go show yourselves to the priests’. What they do with that instruction was going to determine the outcome they would have from their encounter with the Lord Yahushua. Are you sick? What is that request you have been making to the Lord? The link to your manifestation is your response to the Word. The Bible says, ‘and it came to pass, that as they went, they were cleansed.’ This is something to shout about! As they went, they were cleansed. Acting on the Word, always produces what the Word talks about. When we act on Yahweh’s Word, that’s faith. And when we’re in faith, we will receive answers to prayer. If we fail to act on Yahweh’s Word, just waiting for something to come to us first before we’ll believe, we will not receive what we need from Yahweh.

HOW DOES FAITH COME?

#WordForTodayDevotional

Thursday July 7, 2022

HOW DOES FAITH COME?

So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Romans 10:17 (KJV)

Faith is the gift that the Holy Spirit imparts to your spirit upon hearing the gospel of Yahushua HaMashiach. So faith comes primarily by hearing the Word of HaMashiach. Someone had said that the second hearing in our text is understanding; so that the text could read faith comes by hearing and understanding the word of HaMashiach without doing the text any injustice. It is not anything that you hear that gives you faith; it is hearing the word of HaMashiach. So, you must be careful of what you hear. You are absolutely responsible for what enters your ears or what you see. Some hearing imparts fear. Just as faith comes by hearing the Word of HaMashiach, fear comes by hearing the word of Satan and evil people. So guarding what you hear becomes very paramount.

The hearing that brings faith comes in these ways:
1. Reading the Bible by the help of the Holy Spirit imparts faith. It is understanding that brings faith and it is the Holy Spirit that brings illumination to our spirits. Light from the Bible is what imparts faith in the heart of people. That was the case of Daniel in 9:2, “In the first year of his reign I Daniel understood by books the number of the years, whereof the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah the prophet, that he would accomplish seventy years in the desolations of Jerusalem.”
2. Studying the Bible by the help of the Holy Spirit imparts faith. In studying the scripture, you pick a particular topic or character and seek to know as much as the Word says about it. When you are through with a study, your faith is boosted in that area of the knowledge of Yahweh. (see II Timothy 2:15)
3. Meditating on the Word of Yahweh by the help of the Holy Spirit imparts faith. To meditate is to mutter, to speak to yourself the word of Yahweh. Meditation is confessing the word to yourself loudly or silently. (see Joshua 1:8)
4. Hearing the testimonies of the acts of Yahweh imparts faith. Testimonies bring faith in Yahweh into your spirit and emboldens you to trust Him for replication of that act. (see Revelation 12:11)
5. Speaking in the tongues of the Spirit imparts faith. Jude 1:20 (NET) says, ‘But you, dear friends, by building yourselves up in your most holy faith, by praying in the Holy Spirit,’. As you speak in tongues, the word settles in your spirit-man with powerful conviction that kill every form of doubt.

FAITH IN WHAT (2)

FAITH IN WHAT (2)

And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.
Mark 11:22 (KJV)

Why should we have faith in Yahweh? It is important we get acquainted with a few here. We should have faith in Yahweh because:
1. Yahweh is love and love cannot fail or disappoint. 1 John 4:8 says, “He that loveth not knoweth not God? for God is love.” 1 Corinthians 13:8). Yahweh loves you and whatever demand he makes on you by His Word is absolutely for your benefit. Romans 8:32 (KJV) says, ‘He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?’ If Yahweh has already given you His best which is Yahushua in His love for you, then you can trust Him because there is nothing better than Yahushua.
2. Yahweh’s Word has been tried and tested seven times without fail. Psalms 12:6 (KJV) says, ‘The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.’ You can close your eyes and fall back in total reliance on the Word and be sure that you will never fall. The Word is more sure that your physical body – what you can see, feel and touch. That is why your faith must be in Yahweh.
3. Not one jot of what Yahweh has spoken before has failed. Joshua 21:45 (KJV) says, ‘There failed not ought of any good thing which the Lord had spoken unto the house of Israel; all came to pass.’ Evidence they say is the end of all argument. I Kings 8:15 (KJV) says, ‘And he said, Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, which spake with his mouth unto David my father, and hath with his hand fulfilled it, saying,’ Yahweh has not failed anyone that believed Him in the past, so you can trust Him today.
4. You can only see the manifestation of Yahweh upon faith in Him. In John 11:40 (KJV), ‘Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?’ When her faith was confirmed, her brother was raised back from the dead (John 11:44). There is what we call the law of faith. Stay tuned on this devotional, we shall be discussing it in the course of the month.
5. Yahweh is not a man to lie. Numbers 23:19 (KJV) says, ‘God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?’ I know you are used to the disappointments of people but understand that Yahweh is not a man.

WHAT IS YAHWEH’S REST?

WHAT IS YAHWEH’S REST?

“Therefore I swore in My anger, Truly they shall not enter into My rest.”
Psalms 95:11 [NASB]

Yahweh promised Canaan to Abraham as an inheritance for him and his descendents forever. Genesis 15:18-21 explained this covenant “18 In the same day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates: 19 The Kenites, and the Kenizzites, and the Kadmonites, 20 And the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Rephaims, 21 And the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.” At the fullness of time, He raised Moses to take Israel to Canaan from Egypt. In that journey, some people were sent to spy out the land and they brought an evil report to the camp. In Numbers 13:28-33 we read about the report they brought back. Numbers 14:1-4 explained the response of the camp to the report. The camp of Israel in the wilderness believed the report of the ten spies which declared that they be not able to take the land because the inhabitance of the land are stronger than they. This was they saying in essence that the Yahweh that brought them out of Egypt with such display of power is not able to take them into the land He promised to them. This disbelief in Yahweh and His power angered Him so much that He vowed on them, “22 Because all those men which have seen my glory, and my miracles, which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tempted me now these ten times, and have not hearkened to my voice; 23 Surely they shall not see the land which I sware unto their fathers, neither shall any of them that provoked me see it:” (Numbers 14:22-23).

Now, this case of Israel may be applied to those of their posterity that lived in David’s time, when this psalm was penned; let them hear Yahweh’s voice, and not harden their hearts as their fathers did, lest, if they were stiffnecked like them, Yahweh should be provoked to forbid them the privileges of his temple at Jerusalem, of which he had said, “This is my rest.“ The rest of Yahweh is the place of His presence. It is the place He had put His name forever. The rest of Yahweh is the promised land.

Yahushua HaMashiach is the place which we have come. The Ruach HaKadosh brings us the presence of the Father in Yahushua.

THANKFUL FOR JUNE 2022

THANKFUL FOR JUNE 2022

Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.
Colossians 2:7 [KJV]

Here at #WordForTodayDevotional, we devote the last day of every month as our thanksgiving day where we celebrate the grace of Yahweh that has seen us through the month. We do not take for granted the mercies of the Lord from the first of the month to today the thirtieth. It has been a torrent of the word of Love and we owe the Lord thanks. We have returned today to thank Him for the success of the month of June 2022. In case, you cannot see anything to thank Yahweh for – I know such a person will not be reading this now; let me remind you that not all that saw 1st of June 2022 are alive today to see the 30th June 2022. It is of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed (see Lamentations 3:22). We owe Him thanks today. Also, our attitude of thanksgiving determines, what the next month will be for us. Let us explore more on the benefits of thanksgiving.

Our text says that we should abound with thanksgiving. The Greek word translated abounding is ‘perisseuo’ meaning to superabound (in quantity or quality), be in excess, be superfluous; also (transitively) to cause to superabound or excel. You see that the English word abounding did not capture the Greek rendering. What the text is saying in essence is that we should superabound with quality and quantity thanksgiving, and allow our thanksgiving to be in excess. This is beyond theology brethren. The Lord wants us to superabound with quality thanksgiving and quantity thanksgiving. We are not just expected to thank Yahweh but to superabound with quantity thanksgiving. Thank Adonai until it is in excess. Let us think a bit. How many hours can you thank Yahweh today that will be in excess and will be of highest quality. You see that thanksgiving is not something to be mindless about.

DEPLOYING YAHWEH’S LOVE IN PARENTING

DEPLOYING YAHWEH’S LOVE IN PARENTING

That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,
Titus 2:4 (KJV)

If a husband and wife are operating the Yahweh-kind of love, then it will flow naturally to the children. The Yahweh-kind of love is very crucial in marriage because the aim of the assault of Satan on the marriage is not the husband and wife per se but the offspring of that union – the children. Both Yahweh and Satan are keenly interested in the children of the marriage. Malachi 2:15 says, “And did not he make one? Yet had he the residue of the spirit. And wherefore one? That he might seek a godly seed. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth.” So our Father Yahweh is interested in the marriage because He is seeking a godly seed. Satan is also seeking to destroy that godly seed of the woman. If Satan can’t get the husband or wife, he will seek to scatter their marriage so that he can destroy the future of the seed. When marriage dies, the children’s future have a 98% of being corrupted by the harsh society environment and influence. Revelation 12:17 says, “And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.” Satan went forth to make war with the seed of the woman. Beloved, there is a war currently going on. Satan wants to destroy your marriage in order to destroy your children. This is the motivation that must drive you to love your spouse with the Yahweh-kind of love. Then extend that love to the children.

DEPLOYING YAHWEH’S LOVE IN MARRIAGE

DEPLOYING YAHWEH’S LOVE IN MARRIAGE

18 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord. 19 Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.
Colossians 3:18-19 (KJV)

The first place that the characteristics of the Yahweh-kind of love manifests is in the family between husband and wife, then extends to the children and then to the Church and society at large. This is why the failure of people to function in the Yahweh-kind of love in their family has resulted in the high rate of disintegration of families these days. The scripture is littered with instructions to love our spouses. It is only the Yahweh-kind of love that can hold marriage together making it a heaven-on-earth experience of a home. Submission is a function of humility and patience which are all characteristics of the Yahweh-kind of love. When the wife is told to submit to her own husband, it is another way of telling the wife to love their husbands. Titus 2:4-5 brought it out clearly, “ 4 That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, 5 To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.” When you love your husband, as a wife, you would be kind, obedient, patient, courteous, generous and appreciating him for the things he does for you and the family. The author has seen from experience as a pastor counselling numerous people that a godly woman is the best blessing a man can receive. Just as the scripture says in II Peter 3:1-2, “ 1 Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands? that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives? 2 While they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear.”; the author has seen the impact of godly submissive wives on ungodly husbands which confirmed the Word that they are always drawn by the chaste conduct of their wives.

When a husband loves his wife, there is a security that love brings on the home front that even Satan himself cannot dare. The love of a husband is the wall of defence of the home. When a husband loves his wife, he can go to any length to make the home comfortable for him and all inhabitants of the home. Remember that we are not talking about natural human love which is very fickle. We are talking about the Yahweh-kind of love which is a supernatural manifestation of the Holy Spirit. When a husband loves his wife with this divine love, the security and prosperity of the family is secured. The Yahweh-kind of love triumphs over every form of assault of the devil on the family.

It takes a mind renewed with the Word of Yahweh and a body submitted to the Lordship of the Holy Spirit to function in the Yahweh-kind of love. When the husband loves his wife according to 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 and the wife does same, no force of devil can introduce tension in their home.
