Relying On Your Own Understanding 07/29/2009
 Proverbs 3:5 “Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not rely on your own understanding.” I cannot tell you the number of times that this verse has resonated within me – Father speaking to my heart - and how useful it has become in my daily walk with Yahweh and Christ. I also cannot tell you how easy it is to rely on your own understanding if you are not very careful and aware and seeking Father’s guidance on every question that comes to mind and at every crossroads you may encounter. So what does it mean to rely on your own understanding, and why can doing so be so detrimental? What might have happened to Noah and his family if he’d responded that there was no way the entire earth would flood, simply because he relied on his own limited understanding and chose to believe it would not happen because he could not understand how it could happen? How might the Israelites been led from slavery to the Egyptians, if Moses had denied what he’d seen and heard at the burning bush, simply because he did not understand how a bush could be consumed by fire and not burn? And what might have come of Mary if she’d denied the existence of the angel that delivered the message to her that she would bear the son of God, simply because she could not wrap her mind around the existence angels and their parts in Yahweh’s plan? I bring up these supernatural Biblical experiences because it’s all intertwined with scripture and truth, as you can see from the examples given of Noah, Moses and Mary. Thankfully, none of these people whom Father Yahweh chose to serve Her relied on their own understanding. And because they did not, they successfully carried out the roles that Father asked them to play in bringing Her will into fruition. And not only that, they came to know Father Yahweh in ways that they probably never imagined they would. They experienced the amazing, the miraculous, and what they might have once believed to be impossible made possible. Supernatural occurrences continue even today, just as they did in Biblical times. And there are many researchers and experts out there who reject the possible because they believe it to be impossible. One type of skeptic in particular follows the “Occam’s Razor” theory which states that: “Of several acceptable explanations for a phenomenon, the simplest is preferable, provided that it takes all circumstances into account.” (Wikipedia) They discount the truth of the existence of spirits, ghosts and angels and even God Herself simply because they cannot capture them in a jar and study it and because the simplest explanation for them is that if they can’t explain its existence, they discount it and rely on their own understanding instead. Someone else might have their own ideas and theories and be so wrapped up in them that there is no room for allowing the real truth in. They have done a lot of study on a particular subject and for their own reasons wish to be an authority on that subject – therefore, when a different theory or even truth is presented to them they discount it because it does not match up with what they already know even if what they already know is in fact a falsehood. So rather than taking another look at the evidence presented to them and opening their minds to different possibilities, they remain stagnant and uninterested and sometimes even quite defensive because they might be proven wrong and prefer instead to rely on their own understanding. A lot of time has passed since Christ Jesus walked the earth and in this time a lot has been done to muddy the waters of his teachings – of truth. Some of it has been encouraged by spirit realm inhabitants who fight on the opposing side of the spiritual war in misleading mankind, but mankind has also had a hand in encouraging the falsehoods that many believe to be truth when it comes to scriptural teachings and truth. In today’s day and age, in End Times, we see many who are encouraging others to believe that there probably is no God in major advertising campaigns around the world. We see those who prefer to believe that there are many roads to God because committing to just one road seems too “narrow minded”. And we also see those who consider themselves theologians and experts on the scriptures and particularly in these End Times, study the scriptures and prophecy looking for the signs that will tell them when the end will come when in fact what they were taught about the scriptures to begin with was a lie and this lie becomes their foundation. This is particularly dangerous because the foundation is faulty and because they spend so much time furthering their studies without first seeking Father’s guidance and waiting for an answer. They move forward and they essentially become blinded to truth, while all the while thinking their eyes have been opened. All of these above examples are ways of relying on your own understanding. It is a blinding of the mind. 2 Corinthians 4:3-4 But if, in fact, our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing. Regarding them: the god of this age has blinded the minds of the unbelievers so they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. Relying on your own understanding not only limits you, but it also places limitations on Yahweh who is in fact and in truth, capable of anything and of all things. Placing limitations on yourself and on Yahweh places limitations on your own spiritual growth and on coming to a fuller and more complete understanding of the truth. It keeps you shackled to this world and the lies and misconceptions that reside within it. Particularly in this day and age and with the Tribulation upon us, this can be particularly detrimental in that it can come at the cost of your very eternal life. To cling to manmade religious ideals such as water baptism and the trinity as requirements for salvation is yet another example of relying on your own understanding. The following is from the Kingdom Message of Salvation, which is the message our ministry has been charged with delivering to mankind: “If those people have the right heart condition, they will see the Light. If not, they will remain opposed to what is ministered to them. That is their Free Will choice. Even if they claim to be foot-step followers of Christ, they will be deemed not worthy of Salvation unless they exhibit the Holy Spirit from within them. If they believe falsehoods about Christ, cling to their man-made religious belief systems and reject the truth will be marked accordingly by the Cherubic Order of Angels. All people are judged by what is really in their hearts.” It is alright that we seek knowledge, but we must seek the knowledge, understanding and wisdom that come from Father Yahweh alone so that we are not deceived as She is the source of all these things. The good news is that Father Yahweh is always there to guide us, if only we seek Her guidance first. If at any point we encounter a view that is new or different from what we have come to believe, it is via Her Holy Spirit that we will be able to sift through this information and determine what is truth and what is not. Proverbs 4:7 “Wisdom is supreme—so get wisdom. And whatever else you get, get understanding.” A Prayer of Compassion 07/29/2009
 Heavenly Father, Recently we were instructed to inform mankind to prepare for the coming Rapture as time marches on and this dying world crumbles on its foundations. As prophecy unfolds before our very eyes in places near and far all over the world, I do not see a people who are aware; I see a people who are blinded and deceived. My prayer is a prayer of compassion for them, Father, because I am fearful for their lives. You know far better than I Father, as You see and know all, and admittedly I am but one small and unimportant person with a very limited, if not myopic, view of the world, but from where I stand and what I can see, it seems to me that while they may see the warnings that You so diligently provide, they do not recognize them for what they are. We, myself and my fellow ministers and many others of the extended flock, have been so incredibly blessed by You. Not a day goes by in which I don’t give thanks for all that You have done and remember how not long ago, I too was lost in darkness...and searching. It is a testament to Your glory Father and it serves to give me hope, because if it can happen to me it can happen to others, regardless of who they are or the circumstances they are in. You have instructed us brilliantly on many things and You have opened our eyes to Truth. Patiently You have taken our hands and led us through and amazing journey of enlightenment in which many of Your mysteries were revealed, explained and understood. And while I’m thankful for those who have been found, I pray that still more eyes are opened to the Truth, so that when they do see and recognize Your Truth, they will humble themselves and give You glory. I pray for those who walk in darkness by choice who have not gone beyond Adamic sin as well as those who find themselves there unwittingly as pawns in the Spiritual War. I pray that the brilliance of Your light reach them through the darkness and that when it does, they turn towards Your light so that they may have a chance at salvation through Your son Christ Jesus and eternal life. We are not worthy, or deserving of Your blessings. We have not fully appreciated this jewel of creation that we have all had a hand in destroying. So many of us wander through life in a daze, sometimes just struggling to make it hour by hour, minute by minute as the Tribulation rages around us. Some of us are in denial due to fear, and cannot see through the haze of smoke that wafts up through the destruction as it rages on. Many do not understand why, a loving God would allow such horrible things to happen. But I do Father, I do, and I pray that they will too. I pray for them Father, because I know that there’s not much time left. You have placed this urgency and compassion in my heart Father, because it was not there before You called me into Your service. And now it is what urges me to open my mouth and minister and to write and to pray and meditate on Your Word. I pray that You have compassion on them Father, as you have had compassion on me. Help me to know how to best serve them Father, and never let compassion leave my heart. My life, and all our lives are in Your hands Father. And I pray that those who have ears will listen, and those who have eyes will see. I cherish Your Way and each new day that You give in which I’m able to serve You and grow closer to You via the knowledge, understanding and wisdom that You share via Your Holy Spirit. And I thank You from the bottom of my heart for these things as well as Your patience, forgiveness, the protection via Your Holy Angels, guidance via Your Holy Ghosts, and for all the things big and small that you so generously provice. I pray in the name of Your Son Christ Jesus, our loving Savior and vindicator of righteous rule. May Your will be done in all things now and forevermore. Amen, Father Yahweh. Prepare 07/19/2009
