If then, heaven rejoices over one who has come to repentance, then surly this is a party not unto flesh, but unto salvation that we can party to. Do you remember the day or hour you first believed in Yeshua (Jesus)? Was there any celebration at your home or place of worship? In my case I can remember clearly as if it was yesterday, and I can also say that there was not any great feast thrown on or after my acceptance of salvation. However, the purpose of believing that Yeshua died for my sin of UNBELIEF is not plural possessive but singular in thought. How could one man’s unbelief caused all to be born equally?
Now, if we say the Messiah has died for ALL our sins then we believe correctly because in its original context Yahweh has deliver EACH one of us from our SINS individually. Moreover, when you say that Christ died for all your sins meaning every sin that has easily besets you – you have now taken a plural possessive statement that was meant for whosoever believes and now applied it to every single sin in your life. Yahweh has indeed forgiven us of our transgressions; however, it does not sidestep the seen or unseen reproach, nor can we cover up our past. Everything hidden will come to light, for it is written we all must reap what we have sown even thou, our sins are removed as far as our eyes can behold.
Shed for Everyone
“Repent you therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord.” -Acts 3:19 This is after Pentecost. (What is this refreshing that shall come?) Now, Yahweh reveals to the Prophet Isaiah. “I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, thy transgressions, and, as a cloud, thy sins: return unto me; for I have redeemed thee” -Isaiah 44:22 So, ‘be you converted’ or ‘return unto me’ nothing has changed concerning how we accept Yahweh’s (the Lord) lively way and the foundation in which we ought to walk on. It is written that Yahweh is a spirit. So, how can one return to that substance called faith in which cannot be seen, but indeed exist.
Yashua (Jesus) tells “…Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.” (John 20:29; John 3:15; 1 Peter 1:8)
Believing is just half the battle for it is written: “You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe—and tremble!” (James 2:19; Mark 12:29; 1 Corinthians 8:4-6) The blood of Christ does not separate us from those who are unsaved, it was shed for EVERYONE. But our faith is the substance that is unseen by man but seen by Yahweh. Faith becomes exposed by doing the Lord’s good pleasure this pleasure was ordained in heaven to be the good work that glorifies the Messiah. And, when we place our fate in Yeshua’s works it is then we become separated from the works of flesh which separates us and makes us free to be endowed with the power of the Holy Spirit. How one expresses those works are not of our own interest but the Father who has called us out of darkness. (Read 1 Peter 2:9)
‘Name Written in Heaven’
Yeshua reminds his disciples to rejoice not at the power, but rather rejoice because their names are written in heaven. “Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.” (Luke 10:20; Revelation 20:12) Yeshua (Jesus) is our tried cornerstone not us, not our loved Ones, not social media, not Peter, not Paul, nor the precepts of this world! “For no one can lay a foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ.” (1 Corinthians 3:11; Acts 4:11; Isaiah 28:16) Remaining us that ever scripture has to be rightly divided precept upon precept line upon line. (Read Isaiah 28:13)
The Holy Spirit
When Abram was call out of Ur (Sumer) today modern-day Iraq, the presence of the Holy Spirit, the same presence that led our Christ into the wilderness to be tempted is the same presence that surrounds Yahweh, speak with Abram telling him to go out from the land of Ur, from amongst your father’s household and kindreds. The Spirit of Yahweh, not religion of any kind tells Abram which was the oral law or Torah that originated in heaven and handed to a servant named Moses: “For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother and be joined to his wife; and they shall become one flesh.” (Genesis 2:24, Matthew 19:5, Mark 10:8; Ephesians 5:31)
Yahweh (The Lord) tells Abram, I WILL MAKE YOU, I WILL BLESS YOU, I WILL BLESS THEM. The children of Israel were led into the wilderness. The commandments, the order of their temple services, worship and respected offices were given to Moses in the wilderness. Yeshua (Jesus) was led into the wilderness to be tempted. John the Baptizer was the voice who cried in the wilderness, “…make straight the way of the Lord…”. Therefore, the church being YOU ought to be separated hidden in the wilderness walking in the word of Elohim (God), with the mind of Christ blinding you from the lust of this WORLD, not the people. Our Great Shepard words stands in the wilderness, and if one believer strays away from the wilderness, it is written.
“What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he loses one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he finds it?” (Luke 15:4, Psalm 119:176, Jeremiah 31:10)
Grieve Not
The Great Shepard will gather His flock soon because it is written, if the Torah which is the Hebrew interpretation of the Greek word law was annulled at the cross then there would not be any need for repentance today. And, due to that fact alone there has to be a commandment, a lively way or law you may say that tells us that we have falling away or backslide in our faith walk. How else can the Holy Spirit be grieved? “And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.” (Ephesians 4:30)
The robes of righteousness or rightfulness living handed out after Yeshua death, burial and resurrection. It was a once and for All deal, but what we fail to realize is that Yeshua’s was manifested to destroy the works of the devil, which is the Greatest SIN, UNBELIEF. It is His WORK and not our own thoughts or way that clothes us in the robes of righteousness, for it is written. “…Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother righteous. Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you.” (1 John 3:13-14; Psalms 38:20)
A great sign has been given that we grieve not the Holy Spirit, for you are clothed in the robe of righteousness. Therefore, our body should be as a temple of the Holy Spirit carrying an invisible wedding invitation title Faith. Are you ready to rejoice with the Messiah seating at the table during the day of refreshing, the great wedding unto salvation.
You Are Weaned
“Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk and drawn from the breasts.” Isaiah 28:6
When one is weaned from the lust of the eyes, pride of life and the cares of this world you are no longer bond under the characteristic or mindset of the prodigal son. You are weaned! When one reaches this point in their relationship with Yeshua they are not concern about worry; seemly, as if they let worry, worry about itself. The great bible was written in an occidental or Asia minor context and to perceive her in a western mindset is just Ludacris. Yahweh’s word is not just about the basis of the five senses by which is the cornerstone of motivational speaking.
“He hath made everything beautiful in his time: also, he hath set the world [Blindness] (H5956) in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God makes from the beginning to the end.” (Ecclesiastes 3:11; Romans 11:28)
When you are weaned, you seek those things which are above, sincere and spirit filled it is said that, “what goes up must come down.” Yeshua shares “Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.” -Matthew 18:18 In the parable of The Prodigal Son, we read that at first the son lived in a restful place, but he desired his inheritance early. The father freely given his youngest son his portion to do that which was right in his own eyes. How often has our parents let us BE to do that which we deem was right in our own eyes? Yahweh has also given us our inheritance and will not hold you back from choosing what you love the most.
Substance
It did not take long for the prodigal son to waste his SUBSTANCE he began to realize that life on the other side of the fence was not as green as he once believed. Luke tells us that, “And when he came to himself, he said, how many hired servants of my father have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!” -Luke 15: 11-32 There is a great spiritual famine today many gone out from the presence of the Father while abusing their inheritance their spiritual gifts with riotous living. But when his spiritual famine had come ‘he came to himself’ in other words he became weaned from the sugar milk of the world.
When Abram accepted Yahweh’s substance in faith, he could not behold being a father of many nations all at once. It took him 24 years in the wilderness learning about the Father’s business all while having his heart circumcised before his flesh ever was. At 99 years of age, the whole household was blessed from Abraham’s obedience unto Yahweh but promises of eternal life would come from his unborn son’s name Issacs.
Great Feast
When Isaac became weaned meaning that he was of age of accountability to choose the straight and narrow path, you can say he was born again because he accepts the work of Yahweh (the Lord) for it is written. “And the child grew and was weaned: and Abraham made a great feast the same day that Isaac was weaned.”-Genesis 21:8 Hannah longed for a male child and made a vow unto the Lord that no razor would come upon his head meaning he would forever be under Yahweh’s work. It is also evident that a baby cannot perform daily temple duties; therefore, Samuel was of age to know how to worship Yahweh and not only did he witness his great feast but he was old enough to experience the rejoicing that came with it.
“But Hannah went not up; for she said unto her husband, I will not go up until the child be weaned, and then I will bring him, that he may appear before the LORD, and there abide forever.” “…And when she had weaned him, she took him up with her, with three bullocks, and one ephah of flour, and a bottle of wine, and brought him unto the house of the Lord in Shiloh: and the child was young.” “…And he worshipped the LORD there. –1 Samuel 1:22; 28
Now, after the prodigal son was weaned, it is written, “…he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.”-Luke 15:20 There is no greater love for a parent to see their child doing what is good without them asking, there is no greater love when a husband comes home right afterwork, there is no greater love when a wife nourishes her family more than herself, there is no greater LOVE when the Messiah laid down his life at the cross.
Wedding Garment
The young son confessed that he sinned against heaven and his father it seems that he realized what goes up must come down. He did not close the blinds to his on hypocrisy. He did not sweep his mess underneath the rug for some else to smell it, nor did he recruit anybody to help him feel good about his inner strife. All the father needed to see is that his son was once LOST, but now is FOUND. BLIND but now he SEES. His great compassion look pass his son’s transgression and he said unto the servants, “bring forth the best robe.” Where is your wedding garment? Have you set the Holy Spirit aside because you fear REJECTION? Yahweh forbids!
The robe of righteousness was promise to whosoever believe but the more abundant life only comes by those who are walking in Yahweh’s word by faith. Now, you can become rich without the Lord, you can have a big family without the Lord, or you can be the smartest without the Lord but your foundation will be tried. The media world is full of stories of those who have lost at the game against REJECTION. Try Yahweh’s WILL while he may be found, the Holy Spirit is not going to take your choice from you, that is the world’s way, a taskmaster against the righteous.
Look at the disciples after Pentecost look at Stephen before he was stone and look at Paul before his second missionary trip. They all preached the law, prophets and testimonies that Yeshua (Jesus) was the Son of Yahweh, and if they preached it they lived it. This is why the Holy Spirit baptizes them only with fire because they were sanctified by doing Yahweh’s GOOD WORK. Yeshua, tells His disciples, “It is the spirit that quickens; the flesh profited nothing: the words that I speak unto, and they are life.” – John 6:63 Will you be there to celebrate on the day of regeneration when Christ sees you and say unto you “Rejoice with me good and faithful SERVANT for you have kept on your wedding garments.
Repent! Be Ye Converted! In the name of Yeshua whom many call Jesus.
