Father...what is the way for us then?
August 12th, 2021
We as a people have not been called to fight physical governments at this time and if we have taken this route we need to turn and go back to our assigned post. That is what Our Father asks us to do, to bring the world healing through Yeshua’s sacrifice. Even the sword we are to rise up against the end-time “beast and his mark” is to be fought with the gospel. We can not give in to the “beast” demand, a governmental power. We will stand by our decision with the true gospel, and not with a physical weapon. We do not have to speculate or search out conspiracy, we will only have to answer with God’s word (Eph_6:17). Any battle that is not fought with God’s clear “thus says YHVH” is straying from the work we have been given: “This is what each man is to say to his friend and to his brother: ‘What has YHVH answered?’ or ‘What has YHVH spoken?’” (Jer. 23:35)
But if we behold the darkness for too long our mind will become dark, our resistance against sin weakened and our spirits discouraged. Slowly we lose sight of Christ. Like Peter walking on the water being safe only when his face was fixated on Christ. But he was consumed by the roaring sea when he looked down upon it. God’s people in the end days have to keep their faces towards Christ at all times to pass the time of trouble and to keep their garments clean.
Satan is truly setting up a trap for YHVH’s people, trying to have you fall in one out of two ditches. You can go crazy focusing on suppression and fighting oppression, or you can stand with Babylon and Rome. Neither of these two is our calling.
Satan has put up the same trap for YHVH’s people again. It is happening right now. And while you are busy in this trap, you will naturally reject God’s true messengers and message. They will be put aside, for the two do not go well together, they did not before Jerusalem’s destruction the first time nor the second time. Both times, bear in mind, they honestly thought they were defending YHVH’s law and truth, but it was a self-deception. The law was not in their hearts, it was only outside carved in stone. (Ezekiel chapter 36).
I advise everyone to spend more time with the Bible than with the news. Especially if you get caught up in it, feeling spiritual while obsessing over it. Then you might be fooled. Work on your relationship with YHVH in the middle of this turmoil. That is the safest route to take right now. You need to prepare. Stay updated on what is happening in the world, but not if it consumes you and your speech and your thoughts and your heart. Not if it has become the “new gospel” you wish to reach the world with. Then you are in danger of being distracted from the work God needs to do in you. Remember what the heart is full of, the mouth speaks. So if you want to know where your heart is at, listen to your speech. If 40% to 90% of it is Covid conspiracy-related, government suppression, and other conspiracy theories, then reevaluate what your time is spent on. Because that is too much. You are losing control.
Do you remember Hezekiah? The Assyrian army had conquered all the cities and had finally come up to Jerusalem and started mocking both YHVH and the people there. That’s right, there was nothing God’s people could do at this point but to throw themselves before YHVH’s throne and cry. And God delivered them without them even lifting one single sword against their enemies. Why was this deliverance given to them? They had cast away their idols before the siege, returned to YHVH’s times and laws, and humbled their hearts before YHVH. Most importantly they had sought God’s atonement for their sins. Because of all that, God gave His people a mighty deliverance. They understood as they saw city after city destroyed by the enemy that their only hope was not in fighting but in turning from their sins, being cleansed, and reunited with YHVH. Then YHVH fought for them. They placed their focus in the right place and were delivered because of it. The last king of Jerusalem did the opposite, he fought Babylon but did not seek atonement. He lost. It is the same situation God’s people are in right now. Will we choose the path of Hezekiah or the path of Zedekiah?
The Jewish leaders rejected John the Baptist for the same reason the leaders once rejected Jeremiah. Instead of preaching against the Roman oppression, he said that they, God’s people, were not right with God. Many of God’s people are in an even worse state than they were. Are you holy before God? Did you let Christ conquer your sins? Are you keeping some of your idols hidden? Are you clinging to your sins?
