Yom Shabbat, Kislev 23, 6003 – December 1, 2018
Longing To Know
We have a plan and a goal established for us as believers from the foundation of the world. Work, and rest.
Genesis 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
That is the work portion. Here is an example.
Genesis 2:15 And the Lord God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.
And again..
Genesis 2:19 And out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.
Caring for the garden, and naming the animals, gave man dominion over them. But there was also a time for rest. This, too, was established by YAH.
Genesis 2:1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.
So we see here that we have a clear picture of what the plan has always been for mankind. We are to have authority here in this earth. We are to rest with our Father because He has declared it.
Once we accept that position, there can come a time of longing for understanding and knowing. We want to be able to make our way. We want to be able to have victory with our Father over the darkness that has entered our world. If we choose to see the good, and not the evil, we will see the good and overcome the evil. The fulfillment of the longing for our Father and the truth comes when we spend time with Him. He will reveal the truth to us.
Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come here in the hearts and minds and bodies of the people. Let Your will be done here as it is in heaven, so perfectly. 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, and in their place let there be only thoughts and memories of You and Your love for us. Deliver us from the evil that would be contrary to that end. Restore Your people, Father, unto You as it was in the garden. Restore unto Your people all that the worm has eaten. Restore unto Your people 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 YAH 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.
