Companionship of the Spirit

Dear Child of God,

You are not alone!   "Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all.  (Psalm 34:19)  God has a purpose and a plan for your life.  "For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, they are plans for good and not disaster, to give you a future and a hope."  (Jeremiah 29:11)   We were never promised a "rose garden", but Jesus did ask the Father to protect us in this world,

not that we would be exempt from hardships.   You are not unique in your struggle

against this world, "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms."  (Ephesians 6:12)   We have a great crowd of witnesses cheering us on from heaven friends!  Those who have gone before us and who exampled to us the martyred life in Yeshua!   We must resolve that

God is always GOOD, because greater trials will continue to come.  If we don't reconcile His unwavering goodness in our hearts, we shall certainly have a crisis of faith, that we may not be able to spring back from.   We must be careful that we do not Love God because of all of the magnificent blessings He continually bestows upon us, His Beloved Bride, but because we have vowed within our hearts, that we will love Him, no matter what comes!   His love for us is unconditional and so ours ought to be for Him.  However, because He is the only perfect One, I don't know that we are capable of doing loving Him unconditionally, though we may try.   Though He does tell us in His Word, "Be Holy, for I am Holy" and "That He has given us everything we need for Godliness."  The only thing we have, that will never pass away, is Him. We can have Him for eternity, but we must BELIEVE on Him!    For He IS the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End.  The I Am that I Am!   

In these days, I truly feel grateful to just be alive.  To wake up each day, to greet the Lord and enjoy His goodness.   We must continually search out our minds and our hearts to make sure that we are living a righteous Godly life.  One that He would be pleased with.  He is our greatest champion, but we must live our lives for Him, doing things His way, for His glory!   He desires such deep intimacy with us, but we have sinned against Him and played the harlot.  (Ezekiel 16:28)   We have a history of idol worship and we have served pagan gods, and it breaks our Father's heart!   Instead of turning to Him, we have turned to the gods of this world.   The pain within our depths is too great for us to face without the knowledge of the love of God.  Our adversary always wants to keep us out of this knowledge of His never-ending Love.  For if we know His Love, it will change everything.   This knowledge appropriated to our lives will lead us on the path of fulfilling our destinies, and the enemy is shaking in his boots!   He is a defeated foe and he just makes a lot of noise.   We must lean into God today for all that we need to see happen for our lives.  We must not give up on the dreams God has placed within our hearts.   

We all need a support system to bring our dreams to pass.  Pray in Godly trustworthy people into your lives to be accountable to, and to encourage.  To walk together in humility and unity.   To cheer one another on in your mutual dreams which God has strategically placed in your hearts for "Such A Time As This!"   Don't let your fleshly lusts steer your life, rather surrender this all to God, so that He can "work out your salvation with fear and trembling."   Let's hold onto the Holy One, our Beloved Yeshua, "the author and finisher of our faith."    Let's "humble ourselves before the Lord and He will lift us up."  (Higher and higher).   

Many of us, want to run away from emotional pain, because honestly we don't really know how to deal with it.   All that God asks, is that we would be real before Him. That we would not have a mask on in His presence.  That we would cry out, "Abba" (Daddy), and release our independence to Him.  This way, He can give us all the help we need.   This is His desire, to be our Daddy!   May we all get to know Him as Daddy today, and receive His love into our hearts.   This is a critical necessity for us all. We must get to the place where we understand His Love for us has nothing to do with our performance, but that we simply are His beautiful creation made to be in a Love relationship with Him, For He loves us so!   "Father, please help us today to grab hold of your love and never let go!  Take us all the way on this journey called Life, and make us all what you have always desired for us to be!  In Yeshua's Holy and Magnificent Name, Amen!"  

My purpose for this new blog is to bring a refreshing and encouragement to those who may "stumble" upon it.  I truly live to encourage God's people, and to those who have not yet called upon His Name!  We are called to mutually encourage one another to build one another up in our most holy faith, the faith of Yeshua the Messiah, the promised One in whom the Hebrew Scriptures speak of!  Having Yeshua in my life has made all the difference. 

There is truly a battle for and over my life in God.   The enemy of my soul is so jealous of my destiny in God, that he has tried to do everything and anything to keep me from coming into my ordained destiny in God!   However, he has sorely failed and I continue to triumph in the Lord my God!   The devil thinks that if he can keep us out of the knowledge that the God of all creation loves us with an "everlasting love", that we will never come into what God has ordained for us from the beginnings of time.   It is true, if we live without that critical knowledge of God's love for us, we shall never come into the things God has created us for.  We must wake up to this truth, that we were made for greatness!  In Yeshua, we can do all things! 

We were created for worship!  If we stay out of worship and out of the very presence of God, we shall wind up stuck in our heads and that surely is the "most dangerous neighborhood!"  When we come into the presence of God, connecting our spirit, the spirit of the risen King that resides within us, with His Spirit above, spirit to spirit, we do become one with Him, and we are filled with an "inexpressible joy!"  This Joy can be found in none other than our Yeshua, the One who gave up His life to give us life and life everlasting!   Living for ourselves is a dead end.  There is no life in and apart from Him.  Many of us have certainly had to come to the ends of ourselves to find out this glorious truth!   Yeshua is the beginning of life, and life anew!   "He makes all things new, and in His time! 

We were never called to walk alone, and this is a very dangerous place for every believer and child of God.  We need mutual support and encouragement to continue to run the race in Him.  We must be very discerning in these days as the pressure all around us has increased.  We must be coming from the heart of our Yeshua when we act and speak.   When we said, "Yes" to God, and "No" to the world, our lives must reflect that decision, which is the most important decision we shall ever make!   We have died to our flesh and all of it's lusts, to live for Him.   This is no easy feat, but we surely will have a beautiful aroma as we leak out the love of our Messiah Yeshua!   He is the lover of our souls. We must continue in the days ahead to say, "Yes" to God, and "No" to the world.  "Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away."   Amen.
