"Don’t you realize that those who do wrong will not inherit the Kingdom of God? Be not deceived: Those who indulge in sexual sin, or who worship idols, or commit adultery, or practice homosexuality, or are thieves, or covetous people, or drunkards, or are abusive, or cheat people—none of these will inherit the Kingdom of God.

Some of you were once like that. But you were cleansed; you were made holy; you were made right with God by calling on the name of the Lord Yeshua Messiah and by the Spirit of our God."
1 Corinthians 6:9-11

"For we walk by faith, not by sight. We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be absent from the body and at home with the Lord. Therefore we make it our aim, whether present or absent, to be accepted of Him.  

For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Messiah, that each one may receive what is due him for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad." 2 Corinthians 5:7-11

"And I saw a great white throne, and Him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works." Revelation 20:11,12

Jesus/Yeshua answered and said to them, “The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage. But those who are counted worthy to attain that age, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry nor are given in marriage; nor can they die anymore, for they are equal to the angels and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection."
Luke 20:34-36

 "And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:

Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a tax collector.

The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, 'God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this tax collector. I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.'

And the tax collector, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, 'God be merciful to me a sinner.'

I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalts himself shall be abased; and he that humbles himself shall be exalted."  Luke 18:9-14

"But now the righteousness of YHWH without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; Even the righteousness of YHWH which is by faith of Yeshua Messiah unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:

For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;"
Romans 3:21-23

"That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 

Marvel not that I said unto thee: Ye must be born again. 

The wind blows where it will, and you hear the sound of it, but can not tell from where it comes, and whither it goes: so is every one that is born of the Spirit." John 3:6-8

"In the last day, that great day of the feast, Yeshua stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his heart shall flow rivers of Living water.

(But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Spirit was not yet given; because that Yeshua was not yet glorified.)" John 7:37-39

"There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Messiah Yeshua, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Messiah Yeshua hath made me free from the law of sin and death.

For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit." Romans 8:1-4

"At that time Yeshua answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes. Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight.

All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.

Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."
Mattiyahu (Matthew) 11:25-30

 "This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.

For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.

Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these:
Adultery, sexual immorality, uncleanness, lustfulness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, rivalry, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like:

of the which I tell you again, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. And they that are Messiah's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. 

If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another."  Galatians 5:16-26

 Yeshua (Jesus) went unto the mount of Olives.

And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them.

And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,

They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.

Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?

This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Yeshua stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.

So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, "He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her."

And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.

And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Yeshua was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.

When Yeshua had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, "Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?"

She said, "No man, Lord." And Yeshua said unto her, "Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more."

Then spake Yeshua  again unto them, saying, "I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life."  John 8:1-12

"And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.
For every one that asks receives; and he that seeks finds; and to him that knocks it shall be opened.

If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent?

Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?

If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Ruach haKodesh (the Holy Spirit) to them that ask him?" Luke 11:9-13

"Ye have heard that it hath been said,
An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:
 But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil:
but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek,
turn to him the other also.

And if any man will sue thee at the law,
and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also.
And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him two.
Give to him that asketh thee,
and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.

Ye have heard that it hath been said,
Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
 But I say unto you, Love your enemies,
bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you,
and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;

 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven:
for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good,
and sends rain on the just and on the unjust."  Matthew 5:38-45

"For even unto this were ye called:
because Messiah suffered for us, leaving us an example,
that ye should follow in His steps: Who did no sin,
neither was guile found in his mouth:
who, when he was reviled, reviled not again;
when he suffered, he threatened not;
but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously:
who his ownself bare our sins in his own body on the tree,
that we being dead to sin, should live unto righteousness:
by whose stripes ye are healed."
(1 Peter 2:21-25)

"Bless those who persecute you;
bless and curse not.
Rejoice with those who rejoice;
mourn with those who mourn.
Live in harmony with one another.
Be not proud, but be willing to associate
with people of low position.
Be not conceited.
Recompense to no man evil for evil.
Provide things honest in the sight of all men.
If it be possible, as much as lieth in you,
live peaceably with all men.
Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves,
but rather leave room unto God's wrath: for it is written,
"Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith Yahuweh."
Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him;
if he thirst, give him drink:
for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.
Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good."
Romans 12:14-21

" ...making mention of you in my prayers; That the God of our Lord Yeshua Messiah, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:

The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, And what is the exceeding greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, which he wrought in Messiah, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,

Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the assembly, which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all." Ephesians 1:16b-23

-  -  -  -  -  -  -

"And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;

Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.

But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Messiah, (by grace ye are saved;) And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Messiah Yeshua: That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Messiah Yeshua.

For by grace ye are saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast." Ephesians 2:1-9

-  -  -  -  -  -  -

"For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Messiah Yeshua, of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, that he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; That Messiah may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;

And to know the love of Messiah, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fullness of God.

Now unto Him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, unto him be glory in the assembly by Messiah Yeshua throughout all ages, world without end. Amein."  Ephesians 3:14-21

This post is a bit rambling, but these things are on my heart to write about and share with you, and I thank you for your patience.
In roughly 20 years, it will be 2 days/2 thousand years since Yeshua was crucified, rose again, ascended into ha shamayim (the heavens). YHWH is love - but he is Just and is and will be the avenger of all those who are oppressed and who suffer at the hands of evil in this life. He will punish the host on high that have been in rebellion and caused this world to be fallen, and he will punish those on earth that take pleasure in evil and do not seek his forgiveness, but continue in evil.

If you're not sure you even believe in God, or have been believing that you are God and accountable to no one higher b/c "it's all relative" .. or maybe even you believe and know the truth, but "the cares of this life" have begun to choke the Word and make unfruitful... won't you humble yourself and ask Him to reveal Himself and his Word to you, give you understanding and show you his Salvation? Because when you truly seek Him from your heart, He will set you free from sin and death. YHWH is more merciful and patient than any human mind can even begin to comprehend. His ways are indeed higher than our own, but he has appointed a day in which he will judge the earth. Bearing this in mind, people need to know that when Yeshua Messiah returns, it will not be as the suffering servant like before, but in wrath against those who do not know God or obey him, but continue doing evil.

In these days, I beg you please beware those preaching another gospel and "another Jesus"  that wants you to be happy and wealthy and focused on the cares of this life. I beg you beware anyone who tells of the love of God - for he IS Love - but neglects to tell of his holiness and righteousness and therefore his judgement that is coming against those who continue in unrighteousness. Only those IN his Son will be saved from this. And whether that day, or the death of your body come first... you will stand before He who made the heavens and the earth at the appointed time.

Oh, the joy of that day for those who know His love and his Son who gave himself for us. And oh, the shock and lonely blackness of despair for those who will hear from the One who humbled Himself unto death and paid the price for their sins, "I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity." 

If anyone presents to you a "new age Christ" separate from the Word of YHWH, run the other way, for Yeshua Messiah is the Living Word of YHWH made flesh. His word is truth and he does not change. Every religion is waiting for their Christ or their Maitreya or their World Teacher figure to come --  only those who know that the Annointed One of YHWH has already come in the flesh, and who know him personally and have His Spirit within will be able to see through the great deception that is coming upon the whole world.

Although, heartbreakingly, the delusion in general is already getting so strong that most people have had "their conscience seared with a hot iron" and honestly don't seem to know what is sin anymore. Or that YHWH or his Son do not change,  that even in the New Testament we are warned that those who continue in lies, in adultery and any sexual immorality, in drunkenness, in murder, hatred, stealing, or any such thing.. they will not inherit the kingdom of YAH.

To measure our lives by the moral standards presented in film/TV/ music mass media is the broad way and it leads to destruction.

He will not turn away any who come to him, and when we truly seek him and his ways from the heart, he places his own Holy Spirit inside and leads us in the way of truth, by his Spirit of truth "which the world cannot receive" and we become literally new creations in Him and it is the most amazing Gift, this change, this new life He gives us. The only thing then that is subject to death is this body of flesh and blood and "flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God" anyway. When He places his own Spirit within us, we are given the ability to walk in the Spirit,  putting to death the misdeeds of the flesh, and overcoming as Yeshua overcame... and to love as he loves.

Oh, that all men would seek him while he may yet be found, and know the joy of his salvation to which nothing in this world compares! Oh that all men would turn from the ways of this world and know and what it is like to be given a new heart and Spirit and set free!

He would that none would perish, which is why he sent his only begotten Son in whom "we have redemption, through his blood, the forgiveness of sins". All that is in me bless his Set-Apart name and may you be blessed with a closer walk with Him.

"And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again... Therefore if any man be in Messiah, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Yeshua Messiah, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;

To wit, that God was in Messiah, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. Now then we are ambassadors for Messiah, as though God did beseech you by us:

we pray you in Messiah's stead, be ye reconciled to God. For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him."  

2 Corinthians 5:15, 17-21

 "Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.

For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of YHWH the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and punishment of ungodly men.

But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." 2 Peter 3:2-9

"After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight. Then shall we know, if we follow on to know YHWH: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth." Hosea 6:2,3

"But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up... Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness." 2 Peter 3:10,13

Yeshua said:

"And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh." Luke 21:25-28

Isaiah prophesied: 

"The earth is utterly broken down, the earth is clean dissolved, the earth is moved exceedingly. The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it; and it shall fall, and not rise again.
And it shall come to pass in that day, that YHWH shall punish the host of the high ones that are on high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth." YeshaYahu (Isaiah) 24:19-21

"For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.

But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober... 

let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation. For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Yeshua Messiah"  1 Thessalonians 5: 2-6,8-9

"take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so That Day come upon you unawares. For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.

Watch you therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man." Luke 21:34-36

 "Who hath believed our report?
And to whom is the arm of YHWH revealed?...

He is despised and rejected of men;
a man of sorrows, and aquainted with grief: 
and we hid as it were our eyes from him;
he was despised and we esteemed him not.
Surely he hath born our griefs,
and carried our sorrows...
he was wounded for our transgressions,
he was bruised for our iniquities:
the chastisement of our peace was upon him;
and by his stripes we are healed.
And we like sheep have gone astray;
we have turned every one to his own way;
and YHWH hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
He was oppressed, and was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth:
he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her
shearers is dumb, so he opened not his mouth..."  Isaiah 53:1,3-7

"And Isaac spoke unto Abraham his father, and said, My Father: and he said, "Here am I, son." And he said, "Behold, the fire and the wood: but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?"

"And when he (Yeshua) had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them,

Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it. 

For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?

Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels."  Mark 8:34-38

-  -  -  -  -  -  -

"If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Yeshua Messiah, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness; He is proud, knowing nothing...

men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself... For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and raiment let us be therewith content. But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.

For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness. Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life..."  1Timothy 6:3-12

"(For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ:

Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)"  Philippians 3:18,19

"For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.

And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.

Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works."  2 Corinthians 11:13-15

So many preachers on TV

they talk about prosperity

and how to be more Self-fulfilled...


but the One who is the Living Bread

had no where to lay His head

and Yeshua said: "Deny yourself"


and I will follow the Lamb

by his grace

wherever he may lead


and I will deny myself

and live for Him

the One who died for me


and I pray for the ones deceiving

and the ones who are deceived

I pray that hearts and minds of men

from lies would be set free

The above lyrics are an excerpt from a new song, which will be on the upcoming record.

I wanted to share part of the lyrics I've been working on, for the ideas expressed are things that many hearts are being convicted of in this hour of strong delusion (deception being especially strong the past 50-100 years) where "sin is in" and every manner of evil is presented as being good and to be desired.

I once was dead in my sins ... and when you are, you measure yourself by the standards of the world and think that, generally speaking, you'll be okay in the end... but  "there is a way that seems right to a man, but the end thereof is death."

Though in the song I mention "preachers on TV" ... the song is not about Protestants or Catholics specifically, but is a plea to the people of God to beware "wolves in sheep's clothing" whether they be Catholic or Protestant or any other denomination: Yeshua said "by their fruits ye shall know them"

Atrocities have been committed in the name of Christianity... they were done by those who did not know or follow Yeshua Messiah or his teachings (which are very clear). Yeshua warned "Many will come in my name... and deceive many" The word of YHWH warns us that many will profess to be believers, but are not, and these evil men have and will "cause the Way of truth to be evil spoken of"... and they have... and they do... and they will until the time when Yahuweh judges the earth in righteousness by his Son.

May all who love Him "be wise as serpents and harmless as doves", and love one another as He loves. Forgiving as we have been forgiven; patient as He is patient with us... yet having "no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them"

YHWH bless you in your search for the truth
And may you know the love of Messiah,
the only begotten Son, by whom He created the worlds,
the Living Passover Lamb who gave himself for us,
to make atonement for our sins
and for the evil ways of this fallen world.

The word of Yahuweh is truth and the truth is in His Son: Yahushua/Yeshua is the truth for he is the Living Word of Yahuweh made flesh
He never did away with the eternal laws of God's eternal kingdom, rather, he made a way for the HIS righteousness and the righteousness of his law to be applied to you by faith in Yeshua Messiah's atonement.

Until we come to Him for salvation we are the walking dead,
for until we are born from above, we are only born of flesh, with a soul that will die
(despite what eastern and new age philosophy may tell you)
for "the soul that sins, it shall die"
"all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God"
But Yahuweh would that none perish and so he gave His only begotten Son
because he loves us that much.


His Son is the only way to be reconciled to God and born of his Spirit.

We are told in scripture that "the life is in the blood"

There is only One who was without sin and His blood was shed for us

His life made available to us

that we might live through him. HalleluYAH.


May you know how loved you are by He who knew you before you were born.
For "the very hairs of your head are all numbered"
Bless you.

Love,
Brandy

 "Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against YHWH, and against thee; pray unto YHWH, that he take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people.

And YHWH said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live."  Numbers 21:7-8

"And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.  John 3:14,15

"And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to me.' This he said, signifying what death he should die." John 12:32,33

"And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.

Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures, And said unto them,
'Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Moshiach (Messiah) to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: And that repentance and forgiveness of sins should be preached in his *name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem."  Luke 24:44-46


*Jesus' Hebrew name: Yahushua (in Aramaic: Yeshua) meaning "He who is salvation" or "salvation of YHWH"

"Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue: For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.
 
Yeshua (Jesus) cried and said, "He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me...  And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. 

He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day. For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. And I know that his commandment is life everlasting.."  John 12:42-50

 "And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of YHWH."  Rev 19:10-13

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made... 

He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. He came unto his own, and his own received him not. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.  And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us..."   John 1:1-3,8-14

"But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God"  1 Corinthians 2:5-12

 
"That which is born of flesh is flesh; that which is born of Spirit is Spirit. Marvel not that I said unto you, You must be born again."

"Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever commits sin is the servant of sin... If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed." John 8:34,36

"This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Yeshua Messiah his Son cleanseth us from all sin. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." 1 John 5-9

"Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new." 2 Corinthians 5:17

"These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.

For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country.

And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned.

But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city."  Hebrews 11:13-16



"By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter;

Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;

Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward.

By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible."  Hebrews 11:24-27

 "The Church Walking With The World"
By Matilda C. Edwards, About 1890

The Church and the World walked far apart
On the changing shores of time,
The World was singing a giddy song,
And the Church a hymn sublime.
"Come give me your hand," said the merry
World, "And walk with me this way!"
But the good Church hid her snowy hands
And solemnly answered "Nay,
I will not give you my hand at all,
And I will not walk with you;
Your way is the way that leads to death;
Your words are all untrue."

"Nay, walk with me but a little space,"
Said the World with a kindly air;
"The road I walk is a pleasant road,
And the sun shines always there;
Your path is thorny and rough and rude,
But mine is broad and plain;
My way is paved with flowers and dews,
And yours with tears and pain;
The sky to me is always blue,
No want, no toil I know;
The sky above you is always dark,
Your lot is a lot of woe;
There's room enough for you and me
To travel side by side."

Half shyly the Church approached the World
And gave him her hand of snow;
And the old World grasped it and walked along,
Saying, in accents low,
"Your dress is too simple to please my taste;
I will give you pearls to wear,
Rich velvets and silks for your graceful form,
And diamonds to deck your hair."
The Church looked down at her plain white robes,
And then at the dazzling World,
And blushed as she saw his handsome lip
With a smile contemptuous curled.
"I will change my dress for a costlier one,"
"Said the Church, with a smile of grace;
Then her pure white garments drifted away,
And the World gave, in their place,
Beautiful satins and shining silks,
Roses and gems and costly pearls;
While over her forehead her bright hair fell
Crisped in a thousand curls.

"Your house is too plain," said the proud old World,
"I'll build you one like mine;
With walls of marble and towers of gold,
And furniture ever so fine."
So he built her a costly and beautiful house;
Most splendid it was to behold;
Her sons and her daughters dwelt there
Gleaming in purple and gold;
Rich fairs and shows in the halls were held,
And the World and his children were there.
Laughter and music and feasts were heard
In the place that was meant for prayer.
There were cushioned seats for the rich and gay,
To sit in their pomp and pride;
But the poor who were clad in shabby array,
Sat meekly down outside.
"You give too much to the poor," said the World.
"Far more than you ought to do;
If they are in need of shelter and food,
Why need it trouble you?
Go, take your money and buy rich robes,
Buy horses and carriages fine;
Buy pearls and jewels and dainty food,
Buy the rarest and costliest wine;
My children they dote on these things,
And if you their love would win
You must do as they do, and walk in the ways
That they are walking in."
So the poor were turned from her door in scorn,
And she heard not an orphan's cry;
But she drew her beautiful robes aside,
As the widows went weeping by.

Then the sons of the World and Sons of the Church
Walked closely hand and heart,
And only the Master, who knoweth all,
Could tell the two apart.
Then the Church sat down at her ease, and said,
"I am rich and my goods increase;
I have need of nothing, or aught to do,
But to laugh, and dance, and feast."
The sly World heard, and he laughed in his sleeve,
And mockingly said, aside-
"The Church is fallen, the beautiful Church;
And her shame is her boast and her pride."

The angel drew near to the mercy seat,
And whispered in sighs her name;
Then the loud anthems of rapture were hushed,
And heads were covered with shame;
And a voice was heard at last by the Church
From Him who sat on the throne,
"I know thy works, and how thou hast said,
'I am rich, and hast not known
That thou art naked, poor and blind,
And wretched before my face;'
Therefore from my presence cast I thee out,
And blot thy name from its place.

"Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but of the world.  And the world is passing away, and the lust thereof, but whoso doeth the will of God abideth forever." 1 John 2:15-17

Yeshua said, "for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God"  Luke 16:15

May I give as I have been given to, forgive as I have been forgiven, and love others as as He loves. May I walk humbly before my Father in Heaven and may the laws of his eternal kingdom be inscribed upon my heart. May this truth be made manifest in my life:

"Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world." James (Jacob) 1:27

Let everything with breath praise Yah.

 "Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart...

Trust in Yahuweh with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear Yahuweh and depart from evil."   Proverbs 3:3,5-7


"Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoils with the proud."   Proverbs 16:19

Yeshua Messiah said:

"For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses." (Matthew 6:14,15)


“whoever hears these sayings of mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock. 
And everyone who hears these sayings of mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand: 
and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall."      (Matthew 7:21-26)



"When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:
 
And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:
 
And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.

Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, 'Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:

For I was hungry, and you gave me meat: I was thirsty, and you gave me drink: I was a stranger, and you took me in:

Naked, and you clothed me: I was sick, and you visited me: I was in prison, and you came unto me.'

Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, 'Lord, when saw we thee hungry, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?

When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?

Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?'

And the King shall answer and say unto them, 'Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me."  (Matthew 25:31-40)

Photo: While up on the roof enjoying the lovely view, and as I was thanking
and praising YHWH for blessings too many to name, this heart appeared in a cloud. 

"Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal.
And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.
And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not love, it profits me nothing.
Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy... does not behave rudely, does not seek it's own, is not easily provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth... Love never fails...
Now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known.
And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love."

(1 Corinithians 13:1-6, 12,13)
