in HIS PRESENCE

shalom!


wanted to share my vision/dream/translation with you...i was in a great deal of pain sunday morning and i cried out to YHVH for relief...told Him in my spirit He had more faith in my ability to endure than me and that if i had strength He knew about that i didn't...to please give it to me or show me. i was then somewhere translated, transfigured - i don't know, but it was majestic, glorious, palatial, amazing, overwhelming, bright, colorful - indescribable...but i knew it must have been in a place of a piece of His shekinah...and this sweet, comforting voice said "what would have me do, my child" and i knew not to answer without Yeshua and that's when i realized He was there with me all along and He reached out His Hand and i fell to my knees, not knowing if i fell out of bed or not...still weeping, i knew not to say or petition The Presence for anything without requesting it through Messiah's Name and Blood...

and i just laid there, weeping in my spirit, unable to move or speak...it was so phenomenal...

when i came back to myself, i realized i was in the Presence of THE KING, the Father Himself, Hashem, YHVH, El Shaddai, El Gibbor, El Elyon, etc...all of His Names and Attributes...and He whispered to me, you didn't ask your petition...

i said no...i didn't because i just didn't want to leave that place of glory with HIM, and He showed me - told me - we are not to take HIM lightly, like He's the mailman, or the bank teller, or the grocery store cashier, etc...HE is YHVH TZAVA'OT - the L-rd G-d of Hosts and the KING...then i realized queen esther...when she bathed for a year in oils, etc. before she was even seen by the king...and that when Mordecai wanted her to petition the king on her people's behalf - HE could have easily rejected her and she would have died right there and then...

He then asked me if i trusted Him when it came to my knees and physical pain, and of course, i said yes - but realized i need to live in that place in the spirit where we are above the physical aspect of what we call "life" - and with that, when i began moving that day, i praised Him and blessed Him and thanked Him and glorified Him and honored Him every step i took, so that's where i am right now...and i would appreciate your prayers that He help me each day to stay in that place of His Presence and Power where we can indeed do all things through Messiah Yeshua, you know?
 
also want to share this insight from Adonai...sometimes much of our lives can be paralleled to those men and women of G-d who went before us...
and i look to JOB alot...G-d allowed everything that happened to him - (yes, G-d allowed the enemy to attack, but the kicker here is, the enemy of our souls has to petition G-d for His permission on every count...so...) knowing Job would never leave or forsake the Creator of the Universe and the Father of all humanity!
and it's the same with each of us! He will never allow anything that He hasn't given us the strength and fortitude to endure - but He also knows we won't forsake or leave HIM through the process of the pain...
for me, that is overwhelming and humbling all in one, that the Sovereign Great I AM knows no matter what, i will not let HIM go!!! i will not leave HIM, nor will i forsake HIM...selah...

With ALL, not some, not a little, but with ALL your heart!

Shalom!
I believe in doing the right thing over being right about something...and for me, putting G-d's Holy Word out into cyberspace is the right thing to do for anyone who may happen upon this blogspot that doesn't know Him or what His Word says...
It is NOT, however, to be a platform for drash and commentary from the mindsets of men or women.
I usually post scripture and what some of my thoughts are and how I've interpreted and applied the verse to my own life. And it's not anymore complicated than that!
Enjoy!

at the feet of Messiah Yeshua

In March of this year, I was blessed to facilitate yet another retreat and its theme was of course, "at the Feet of Messiah Yeshua" and in a nutshell, from the gospel of Mark - this topical list informs us of what happens there...
+ sinners are saved at His Feet

+ sins are forgiven at His Feet

+ folks with illness, sickness, disease, etc. are made whole at His Feet

+ those oppressed and possessed by demons are delivered and set free at His Feet

+ the dead are made alive by someone with faith bowing and falling at His Feet

+ when Yahshua greets you, you bow to Him and hold on to His Feet

+ when we sit at His Feet, we truly hear the Word of G-d

+ when we bow at His Feet, we truly know Him as the Son of Elohim

+ when we fall at His Feet, thanksgiving wells up inside of us

+ as we fall at His Feet, we truly worship Him

+ when we're at His Feet, we speak the whole truth

+ we realize we are sinners at His Feet and finally...

+ all of our enemies are under His Feet!!!

His Feet are pretty amazing and we all need to spend more time there!

blessed is the man and woman...

these Scriptures preach a sermon themselves...they are tightly woven and connected by a scarlet thread that says if we want the L-rd to consider us blessed men or women, this is the pattern:

Job 5:17 Look, blessed is the man whom Eloah does reprove, so do not despise the discipline of the Almighty - we don't want His reproof and He disciplines us because He loves us...

Psa 1:1 Blessed is the man who shall not walk in the counsel of the wrong, And shall not stand in the path of sinners, And shall not sit in the seat of scoffers,  - avoid the wrong advice; don't make your stand with a sinner; don't fellowship with unbelievers...

Psa 32:2 Blessed is the man to whom יהוה imputes no crookedness, And in whose spirit there is no deceit. - crookedness is another word for sin, transgression, iniquity, etc...and deceit is a form of lying - let none of that be found in any of us!


Psa 34:8 Oh, taste and see that יהוה is good; Blessed is the man that takes refuge in Him! where do you take refuge? where do you hide?

Psa 84:5 Blessed is the man whose strength is in You, Your Highways are in their heart. strength must come from and be in, for and through HIM, not me...not you...

Pro 8:34 “Blessed is the man who listens to me, Watching daily at my gates, Waiting at the posts of my doors.  LISTEN...WATCH...WAIT!!!


Pro 28:14 Blessed is the man who always fears Elohim, But he who hardens his heart falls into evil. always fear G-d and no other!

Isa 56:2 “Blessed is the man who does this, and the son of man who lays hold on it, guarding the Sabbath lest he profane it, and guarding his hand from doing any evil. keep the Sabbath; guard it, observe it, honor it...and keep your hands free from evil!


Jer 17:7 “Blessed is the man who trusts in יהוה, and whose trust is יהוה. this is 2-fold..trust in YHVH, bless His Name...and make YHVH, bless His Name, your trust!

Rom 4:8 blessed is the man to whom יהוה shall by no means reckon sin.”  make sure when the Father looks upon you, He sees His only begotten Son and the blood that He shed to redeem and cover you!

Jas 1:12 Blessed is the man who does endure trial, for when he has been proved, he shall receive the crown of life which the Master has promised to those who love Him. and finally...endure to the end...take hold, press on...

may you be blessed today and every day!

bearing fruit...

Mar 4:20 “And those sown on good soil, are those who hear the word, and accept it, and bear fruit, some thirtyfold, and some sixty, and some a hundred.”  we bear fruit by the Word of G-d


Luk 3:8 “Therefore bear fruit worthy of repentance, and do not begin to say to yourselves, ‘We have Aḇraham as our father.’ For I say to you that Elohim is able to raise up children to Aḇraham from these stones.  we bear fruit that is worthy of repentance


Luk 8:15 “And that on the good soil are those who, having heard the word with a noble and good heart, retain it, and bear fruit with endurance. we bear fruit by the Word of G-d and endurance

Joh 15:4 “Stay in Me, and I stay in you. As the branch is unable to bear fruit of itself, unless it stays in the vine, so neither you, unless you stay in Me. we bear fruit by remaining in Yeshua

Joh 15:16 “You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, so that whatever you ask the Father in My Name He might give you. we are chosen and appointed by G-d to bear fruit

Rom 7:4 So my brothers, you also were put to death to the Torah through the body of Messiah, for you to become another’s, the One who was raised from the dead, that we should bear fruit to Elohim. we bear fruit to our G-d, our Creator, Elohim - creation always points to the Creator

Rom 7:5 For when we were in the flesh, the passions of sins, through the Torah, were working in our members to bear fruit to death. if we stay in sin, we bear fruit to death

now to the first covenant...and who really does the fruit-bearing in us...Gen 1:28 And Elohim blessed them, and Elohim said to them, “Bear fruit and increase, and fill the earth and subdue it, and rule over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the heavens, and over all creatures moving on the earth.” we bear fruit because we have been blessed by Elohim, G-d to do so

Gen 17:6 “And I shall make you bear fruit exceedingly, and make nations of you, and sovereigns shall come from you. we bear fruit and then we bear fruit exceedingly!
Gen 28:3 “And Ěl Shaddai bless you, and make you bear fruit and increase you, and you shall become an assembly of peoples, El Shaddai, the G-d of power and might will bless us and make us bear fruit and then will increase us

Gen 35:11 And Elohim said to him, “I am Ěl Shaddai. Bear fruit and increase, a nation and a company of nations shall be from you, and sovereigns come from your body. witness to previous scripture

Gen 41:52 And the name of the second he called Ephrayim, “For Elohim has caused me to bear fruit in the land of my affliction.” we are to bear fruit in our afflictions...ouch!

Gen 48:4 and said to me, ‘See, I am making you bear fruit and shall increase you and make of you an assembly of peoples, and give this land to your seed after you as an everlasting possession.’ another witness of G-d making us bear fruit and increasing us...two is a witness, three seals the deal!

Lev 26:9 ‘And I shall turn to you and make you bear fruit, and shall increase you, and shall establish My covenant with you. G-d will turn to us and make us bear fruit and shall establish us in His Covenant

Psa 92:14 They still bear fruit in old age; They are fresh and green, we are to bear fruit in our old age

Isa 11:1 And a Rod shall come forth from the stump of Yishai, and a Sprout from his roots shall bear fruit. we are the fruit of Yeshua!

Mal 3:11 “And I shall rebuke the devourer for you, so that it does not destroy the fruit of your ground, nor does the vine fail to bear fruit for you in the field,” said יהוה of hosts. YHVH, bless His Name, will rebuke the devourer for us and our fruit will not be destroyed and it will remain!
 
are we bearing lasting fruit???
