IS THERE ANY CONTRADICTION BETWEEN FAITH AND WORK?

But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
James 2:20 (KJV)

Romans 3:27-28 (BBE) says, ‘What reason, then, is there for pride? It is shut out. By what sort of law? of works? No, but by a law of faith. For this reason, then, a man may get righteousness by faith without the works of the law.’ Apostle Paul is saying that you don’t need the works of the law to emerge the righteousness of Yahweh in HaMashiach. That the works of the law cannot get you saved, only faith in Yahushua HaMashiach can. James 2:26 (NET) says, ‘For just as the body without the spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead.’ Apostle James is saying that if your faith in Yahushua HaMashiach does not produce good works, that your faith is dead. Now, the question is: Is there a conflict between the view of Apostle Paul and Apostle James? The answer is emphatically NO. There is no conflict whatsoever between the views of these Apostles. They are saying two different things and it is important you understand it.

FAITH COMES

FAITH COMES

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.

WHAT FASTING OFFERS (7): SPEEDY REVERBERATION OF HEALING/HEALTH

… and thine health shall spring forth speedily: …Isaiah 58.8 (KJV)

When we say that fasting springs forth speedily your healing and health, we are just stating the obvious both from scriptures and from raw testimonies. There is no sickness that cannot be terminated by fasting. Even medical doctors, have discovered that majority of ailments is a function of what people eat, so when you eliminate such diets, the body naturally recovers. Cancers have been seen to dry up and die in long fasts and afterwards the person tests showed that he/she was cancer free. Your health springing forth speedily is both supernaturally and naturally. The body has been enabled by the creator to heal itself in some cases that the challenge is not organic. Just going on a 21 days to 40 days total fast can take care of your frequent health challenges, and afterwards, resume eating healthy ensures that you sustain the gains of your fast. And all this is just naturally, the body repairs itself. Please refer to the scientifically certified repair workings of fasting as we have already seen.

WHAT FASTING OFFERS (6): ERUPTION OF SPIRITUAL UNDERSTANDING

Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, …
Isaiah 58:8 (KJV)

We are living in the days of prophetic gross darkness (see Isaiah 60:1-2). Darkness connotes the devil and all his manifestations. Darkness is a state of visionlessness, purposelessness, and hopelessness. Darkness is a state where you do not know what to do, where to go and what to expect. Darkness is a state of confusion, contradiction, conflict and depression. Light here implies illumination, insight, understanding and enlightenment. Light here means the opening of the Word of God for you to the point of understanding and seeing really what God is showing you from the pages of scripture. To be lighted is to be lifted. To be illuminated is to be elevated. The glory of your life is at the mercy of light because until you are illuminated, you will end up eliminated. Your change of story is at the instance of light. Until you can see it, you cannot seize it. Your inheritance in HaMashiach (Christ) is available and ready for the taking, but it would take you to see it to seize it. So anything that you would do to see the hidden treasures behind the written Word, it is wisdom to go for it.

WHAT IS IN DIVINE DIRECTION FOR YOU (2): OPPOSITIONS ARE TAKEN OUT

WHAT IS IN DIVINE DIRECTION FOR YOU (2): OPPOSITIONS ARE TAKEN OUT

Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you;
II Thessalonians 1:6 (KJV)

When you follow divine direction, oppositions to your Yahweh-ordained inheritance are taken care of by Yahweh. Yahweh takes your enemies down for your sake. It is a righteous thing with Yahweh to smite all that rise up against you (see II Thessalonians 1:6). Even Yahushua had to surrender himself otherwise no hands could be laid on Him. Those that came to arrest the Lord Yahushua had to fall before him. They couldn’t stand his presence. No man could harm Yahushua until He surrendered himself for the cross. John 18:4-6 showed us that, ‘4 Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said unto them, Whom seek ye? 5 They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, I am he. And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with them. 6 As soon then as he had said unto them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground.’ You are indomitable walking in the will of Yahweh; following divine direction for your life. I Peter 3:13 says, ‘And who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good?’ You are unconquerable following divine direction because all the powers of heaven are at your disposal to handle any satanic uprisings. You don’t struggle to reign and rule following divine direction.

WHAT IS IN DIVINE DIRECTION FOR YOU (1): EXISTENCE IN THE STILL WATERS

WHAT IS IN DIVINE DIRECTION FOR YOU (1): EXISTENCE IN THE STILL WATERS

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
Psalms 23:2 [KJV]

There is a place of existence besides the still waters. It is a place of peace, calm and unfathomable tranquillity. It is a place of supernatural comfort and rest. The still waters of destiny is a real place but it is only reserved for those that are led by Yahweh’s Spirit. The still waters is that place where the Lord takes over your battles. Yahweh through the prophetic told Jehoshaphat and Judah to set themselves. II Chronicles 20:17 says, “Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the Lord with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; to morrow go out against them: for the Lord will be with you.” Do you want to see the salvation of the Lord, then it behoves on you to be diligent to access divine direction. That leading into the still waters for Jehoshaphat and Judah came out of a three days fast. These things don’t fall into one’s lap, you have to reach out and lay hold on them. The challenge is not if there is a place where one can enjoy the still waters of Yahweh. The challenge we have today is taking responsibility like King Jehoshaphat and Judah did to ask direction from the Lord. But Beloved, there is no way around it. If you desire to exist around the still waters, divine direction is the way there.

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.’

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.

TO ACCESS HOLY SPIRIT’S VOICE (1): BE IN THE SPIRIT

TO ACCESS HOLY SPIRIT’S VOICE (1): BE IN THE SPIRIT

I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,
Revelation 1:10 (KJV)

The Holy Spirit speaks. The challenge we have today is that we are not positioned in that place to access His glorious voice. Right now as you are reading this, there are radio waves in the air but you are not hearing anything because one you may not have the right kind of equipment to access the waves or you may even have the right equipment but it may not be powered on or even tuned into the frequency of the sound. So, you don’t only need the right kind of equipment or even having that equipment powered on, you also need to know how to tune your radio to the right frequency to be able to access the sound
