Yom Shishi, Kislev 22, 6003 – November 30, 2018
Press On = Change
Scriptures are clear about who we are when we give our lives to YAH through the blood shed, death, and resurrection of His Son, our Messiah, Yeshuah (Jesus). We are new creatures.
2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
And we are also made aware that our salvation (wholeness) is not just in a single moment, but somehow a process.
Philippians 2:12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
So we see here that we are in a process of being new, and then changing, perhaps being “renewed” in our hearts and minds and bodies? Salvation is the Greek “sozo” which refers to wholeness of the entire person. So, though our spirit is reunited with YAH, we still may have other parts of us that are working toward getting there. It is important for us all to embrace change.
Psalms 55:16 As for me, I will call upon God; and the Lord shall save me.
17 Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice.
18 He hath delivered my soul in peace from the battle that was against me: for there were many with me.
19 God shall hear, and afflict them, even he that abideth of old. Selah. Because they have no changes, therefore they fear not God.
We are each responsible for our own wholeness to YAH. Of course there remains the bonds and relationships of spouses and children, and the resulting interaction with the Father that those roles bring, but we still need to call out to YAH, within our role, and seek His will for us in our lives.
Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdome come here in the hearts and minds and bodies of the people. Let Your will be done here perfectly as it is in heaven. Send us Your provision. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. Wipe away all thoughts and memories of the evil done to us or by us. In their place let there be only thoughts and memories of You and Your love for us. Restore Your people unto You, Father, as it was in the garden before the days of evil. Restore unto Your people, especially the farmers, all that the worm has eaten. Restore one thousandfold all the good that has been taken or held back in any way from Your people, and the more besides. Send in quickly the $423,523,962.53 that we might use it to promote the kingdom of God in the hearts and minds and bodies of the people here. We ask all these things of You, Father, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiak. Amen.
