Seeking Truth

 Are you seeking truth?  Are you sure you know the truth?

Heavenly Father says that He will pardon that person if He finds him/her seeking truth and doing “right-ruling” - Jeremiah 5:1.

O Yahuah (Heavenly Father), are Your eyes not on truth? You have stricken them, but they do not grieve. You have consumed them, but they refuse to receive Your instruction......... Then I said, "These are only the poor they have been foolish, for they do not know the way of Yahuah, the right-ruling of their Elohim (Almighty).”Let me go to the great (educated) men and speak to them, for they have known the way of Yahuah, the right-ruling of their Elohim." But they have altogether broken the yoke and torn off the bonds - Jeremiah 5:3-5.

How many people today are seeking truth? Very few are!  Those that do hear the truth, ignore the truth because they have been indoctrinated by man-made and church traditions. They may even follow their parents’ way, which they in turn have inherited from their parents. Many believe and trust what the pastor/minister says, without testing it, by reading scripture. Many pastors/ministers eyes are also closed in that they blindly accept what they have been taught at a Christian bible college.

We are lazy, we want to hear words spoken by man and not listen what the Set-apart Spirit (Holy Spirit) tells us.

The above verses are exactly what is occurring today, Father Yahuah gives people His instruction through His Spirit & Word but all refuse Him, many people are foolish or they do not know any better, they would rather put their trust in man than in His word.

Hear what Heavenly Father says in scripture about people seeking Him, Deuteronomy4:29: And if you shall seek Yahuah your Elohim from there, then you shall find Him, if you seek Him with your whole heart, and with all your soul, in your distress, when all these things have found you, in the latter days, then you shall return to YAHuah your Elohim, and shall listen to His voice.

Jeremiah 29:13 and you shall seek and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.

1 Samuel 12:24, only fear Yahuah and serve Him in truth with all your heart, for see that He has done great things for you.

Isaiah 55:6 Seek YAHuah while He may be found; call on Him while He is near.

Seek His truth now, because as the prophet Isaiah says, there may come a time when He may not be found for those who are lukewarm. Just as Hosea warned Israel, so are we warned! My people perish for lack of knowledge (truth). Because you have rejected the knowledge (truth), I once also rejected you from being priest to Me. Since you have forgotten the Torah of your Elohim, I will forget your sons, even I – Hosea 4:6.

Jeremiah 7:27-29, and you shall speak all these Words to them, but they will not listen to you. And you will call to them, but they will not answer you. But you shall say to them, this is the nation that does not obey the voice of Yahuah their Elohim, nor receive instruction. Truth has perished, and it is cut off from their mouth. Cut off your crown (hair) and throw it away, and lift up a lamentation on the bare heights. For Yahuah has rejected and forsaken the generation of His wrath.

John 8:43-45, Why do you not know My speech? It is because you are not able to hear My Word. You are of the devil as father, and the lusts of your father you desire to do. That one was a murderer from the beginning, and he has not stood in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own, because he is a liar, and the father of it. And because I speak the truth, you do not believe Me.

Do you believe the truth that Messiah is speaking?

1 John 1:6, if we say that we have fellowship with Him, and we walk in darkness, we lie and we are not practicing the truth.

1 John2:4, the one saying, I have known Him, and not keeping His commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in that one.

2 Timothy 4:3-4, for a time will be when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own lusts, they will add to themselves extra teachers according to their own desires; and they will turn away their ears from the truth and will be turned aside to fables.

Born again people in Messiah should search for truth, know the truth, live the truth and teach people the truth!!! "No" many would rather stick to traditions and worship the Almighty when it suits them. It is the easy way out, by listening and trusting man.

How many people know the truth but still live opposite to the truth, there are many! Truth hurts! Truth means change! Truth means giving up! It is much easier to be part of the world system and be entertained then to be in Father's system and be obedience.

Father says in Jeremiah 5:9, that He would punish those who do not follow truth. 

Search truth, you will be shocked when you find out that what you think is truth, is actually not!

Ask for truth: Psalms 25:4-5, Show me Your ways, O Yahuah; Teach me Your paths. Lead me in Your truth and teach me, For You are the Elohim of my deliverance; On You I wait all the day.

Yahuah is our savior (see above: Elohim of my deliverance).

The truth will be given; John 16:13, But when that One comes, the Spirit of Truth (Holy Spirit), it will guide you into all Truth, for it will not speak from itself, but whatever it hears, it will speak; and it will announce the coming things to you.

Listen!!!

And when you find it; Proverbs 23:23, Obtain the truth, and sell it not, also wisdom, and instruction and understanding.

Messiah said in John 18:37, everyone being of the Truth hears My voice.

Finding truth and then living the truth sets you free.

 3 John 1:3, for I rejoiced greatly when the brethren came, also bearing witness of you in the truth, as you walk in truth.

If you are hungry enough to know the truth, you will be among the few (Acts 17:11 & Matthew 7:13-14) who will go to great lengths to search it out.

1 Thessalonians 5:19-21, do not quench the Spirit. Do not despise prophecies. Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.

Once something has been proven to be the truth the true believer must cling to these biblical truths.

Thank You Yah for giving us Your truth.

Father's Name

                                                                         

Sing to God, sing praises to His name; extol Him who rides on clouds, by His name Yah, and rejoice before Him - New King James Version (NKJV) of Psalms 68:4.

The KJV says "Jah" where NKJV says "Yah." It is the only place in the in tire book of the popular used English Bible where the Creator's Name is mentioned correctly. Heavenly Father is referred to as God or Lord, 99.98% within the KJV/NKJV and many other English Bibles.

Many Christians do not realize that they use part of His Name when they say HalleluYah (HalleluJah) which means "Praise to Yah" in the Hebrew language = Hallelu-Yah. See the Strong’s H3050 for Yah .

His Name is Yahuah or sometimes pronounced as Yahuwah and His son's Name is part of Father's Name.

The Messiah confirms this in John 5:43, "I have come in My Father's Name and you do not receive Me, if another comes in his own name, him you would receive.

Messiah definitely did not come in the name of God as God is not a name but a title.
 
Do you think it is okay to call the Almighty Creator anything you want when He punished the Israelites for replacing His Name with Baal (Lord)?
 
Think about it, we are doing exactly the same thing as they did in the Old Testament, replacing His Name with something/someone else.
Do you think the Almighty referred to Himself as God?
 
Why do the Jews have a law to not speak the Almighty Name as it is written, but replace His Name with other names and titles? Vowel points are used so that His true Name is not spoken.  Are they not breaking the 3^rd commandment? What about the Christians… using God or Lord?... are they not breaking the 3^rd commandment?

3^rd Commandment: You shall not take the name of יהוה your Elohim in vain; for יהוה will not leave unpunished the one who takes His name in vain. (Another Translation: “You shall not lift up (speak) The Name of יהוה your Elohim to ruin it, for יהוה will not acquit (pardon) anyone who lifts up (speaks) His Name to ruin it”)- Exodus 20:7.  יהוה = Father’s Name in Hebrew.

 I am Yahuah, that is My name!  I will not give My glory to another, nor My praise to engraved images – Isaiah 42:8. Many English Bibles read: I am Lord; that is My name….. His Name can never be Lord as that is a title, for example Lord Winston Churchill or Lord Cliff Richard = titles. The Creator tells us in Isaiah that His Name is Yahuah. You will find His Name in the original Hebrew text.

I must confess that I do not speak or read Hebrew; in fact I am completely useless and ignorant when it comes to the Hebrew language but I have read many articles and have studied material of people that know the language. I understand that Yahuah (Yahuwah) is ancient Hebrew and Yahweh is modern Hebrew.

Again Messiah says in John 17:11-12, Set-apart (Holy) Father, guard them in Your Name which You have given Me, so that they might be one as We are. Verse 12, I was guarding them in Your Name which You have given Me........
The Messiah's Name is in the Father's Name as mentioned in John 5:43, "I have come in My Father's Name…………. This confirms that Messiah has part of His Father’s Name. There is no doubt that the Creator’s Name is Yah, therefore the Messiah must be Yah is or our salvation.

This article is about Father’s Name, and does not discuss Messiah’s Name. Messiah’s Name will be discussed at a later stage.

Exodus 3:14, "And Elohim said to Moses, "I Am that which I Am". The Hebrew reads "eyeh 'asher 'eyeh". Eyeh derived from huah (hava) meaning, "to be, to exist".

Exodus 3:15, is when He tells us His Name".  And Elohim said further to Moses (Mosheh), "Thus you are to say to the children of Israel (Yisrael),  יהוה (written in Hebrew) Elohim of your father's, the Elohim of Abraham, the Elohim of Isaac (Yitshag), and the Elohim of Jacob (Yaaqob), has sent me to you. This is My Name forever and this is My remembrance to all generations (Hebrew names).

NOTE: This is My Name FOREVER and to remember His Name for ALL GENERATIONS.

So the Creator is saying that His Name is forever and His Name must be remembered for all generations, this does include this generation.
The following scripture verses says that we are to call by His Name (Isaiah 12:4, Jeremiah 10:25, Psalms 39:7).

And not to forget His Name (Deuteronomy 12:3-4, Isaiah 65:11, Jeremiah 23:27, Psalms 44:20).
 
And should make His Name known (Exodus 9:16, Isaiah 64:1-2, Ezekiel 39:7).

As seen in the scripture verses above, our Creator of the heavens and earth wants us to know His Name, to call on His Name and to tell other people about His Name.

His Name has power; you can be healed by just calling out His Name

Notice: I prefer to use Father’s ancient Name and pronounce His Name as Yahuah, the intention of this article is not to proclaim that Father’s Name should be pronounced or spelled as I do or say His Name, the intension is to reveal that our Creator Has a Name by which we are instructed to call upon Him. Anyone reading this article should do a study/research on His Name by themselves, but importantly, pray to Heavenly Father and ask Him personally for His guidance. A good place to start is in the “Strong’s” root numbers following the H numbers (Hebrew) from the English words.
I ask Heavenly Father to guide me in ensuring that I obey His 3^rd Commandment at all times.

Jeremiah 10:25, Pour out Your fury (wrath) on the nations (gentiles) who do not know You, and on the families (tribes) who do not call on Your name. For they have eaten up Jacob. Yea, they have devoured him and have destroyed him, and they have made his dwelling place desolate.

He is rebuking those pagans who have influenced Israel to use the names of pagan deities instead of the name Yahuah. Likewise, this verse includes us today also using pagan names for the Creator.

Jeremiah 23:27, “………..even as their fathers have forgotten My name for Baal” (Lord)

Every true prophet in scripture knew the Creator's true name, and did not refer to Yahuah as Baal or lord.

Thank you Yah, for revealing Your Name to us.

Everlasting Creator

Isaiah 40:28-29; Did you not know? Have you not heard? The everlasting Elohim (Almighty), Yahuah, the Creator of the ends of the earth, neither faints nor is weary. His understanding is unsearchable. He gives power to the faint, and to those who have no might He increases strength.

Anything and Everything comes from our Creator Father, He is so powerful and great, and our thinking is just too small to understand His greatness.

Verse 30-31; even those who are young, strong and fit shall faint, become weary, stumble and fall, but those who wait on Heavenly Father renew their strength, they raise up the wing like eagles, they run and are not weary, they walk and do not faint.

 With Heavenly Father on your side, who can touch you, nothing and nobody at all?

In Jeremiah 18:6; Father says, "Look, as the clay is in the hand of the potter, so are you in My hand, O house of Israel."

Psalm 40; Father heard David and David describes how Father guided and protected him.

Look to Yahuah for guidance, give everything to Him, and ask as David asked in Psalm 51:10; create in me a clean heart, O Elohim, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.

Psalm 62:2; He alone is my rock and my deliverance, my strong tower; I am not greatly shaken.

Psalm 62:8; Trust in Him at all times, you people; pour out your heart before Him, He is our refuge.

Ephesians 2:4; Elohim, who is rich in compassion, because of His great love with which He loved us.

Your father Abraham leaped for joy that he should see My day, and he saw, and rejoiced. Then the Jews said to Him, You do not yet have fifty years, and have You seen Abraham? Yahusha said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, Before Abraham existed, I AM! – John 8:56-58.

This verse is clear that Yahusha the Messiah claimed to be the preexistent “I AM” of Creation with Yahuah (Yahweh) the Father.

Colossians 1:15-16, who is the image of the invisible Elohim, the right of the First-born of all creation. For all things were created through Him, the things in the heavens, and the things on the earth, the visible and the invisible; whether imperial thrones, or dominions, or angelic orders, or authorities, all things were in His hand and have been created by Him.
He is everlasting, and one day we as true believers can be with Him, forever. Can you wait, this is so wonderful and He is giving us the chance to be with Him.

Job 12:7-10, But now please ask the animals, and they will teach you; and the birds of the heavens, and they will tell you; or speak to the earth, and it will teach you; and the fish of the sea will recount to you; who of all these does not know that the hand of Yahuah (Yahweh) has done this, in whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all flesh, even of man?

Even the animals know who the Creator is!

Yahuah (Yahweh), my Heavenly Father, I give thanks to You, for I am awesomely and wondrously made – Psalms 139:14.

 

Praise YAH.

The Almighty the same yesterday, today & tomorrow

Elohim (Our Almighty Creator) does not change! He was the same in the past, He is the same today and He will be the same in the future!  Our Almighty Creator does not lie!

In Malachi 3:6, for I am Yahuah (Yahweh), I shall not change........ The redemption of Israel in the end times is not due to Israel's goodness, but because of Yahuah's faithfulness in His promise to Abraham.

In James (Jacob) 1:17, every good and perfect gift is from Father in Heaven, with whom there is no change, nor shadow of turning.

In Ecclesiastes 3:14, Solomon says; I know that whatever Heavenly Father Yahuah does is forever. There is no adding to it and there is no taking away from it.

Hebrew 13:8, Messiah is the same yesterday, and today and forever.

Deuteronomy 6:4, Hear, O Israel, Yahuah (Yahweh) our Elohim is Yahuah is one (echad).

We read in John 10:30 Messiah saying; I and My Father are One.

This means Father and Son are united, but the neuter form of the word rules out the meaning that They can be one person or being. They are two beings but One in Spirit and each have totally surrendered their wills to each other in love, goal and purpose. Although They both existed for eternity the Father is greater in judicial order and authority (John 14:28). The proof of this is right now in heaven there are 2 thrones one that the Father is sitting on and one to the right of the Father that the Son is sitting on. (Psalm 110:1, 1 Peter 3:22, Romans 8:34, Acts 2:33, Acts 7:55-56, Hebrews 1:3, 8:1, 10:10-13)

John 17:11  Messiah is saying to Father to guard them (disciples) in Your Name which You have given Me, so that they might be one, as We are one, and in John 17:21-23 And the esteem which You (Father) gave Me I have given them, so that they might be one as We are one, I in them and You in Me, so that they might be perfected into one, so that the world knows that You have sent Me and loved them as You have loved Me.  

These verses are telling us that Father and Messiah are alike and the disciples have been taught by Messiah to be like Them.

John 10:33, The Jews answered Him, saying, We do not stone You concerning a good work, but concerning blasphemy; and because You, being a son of man, make Yourself Elohim.

Yahusha Messiah clearly proclaimed that He was Elohim and preexisted, read John 8:56, Your father Abraham leaped for joy that he should see My day, and he saw, and rejoiced.

In all these verses, Father the Creator + His son Messiah are stating that they are ONE, meaning They think alike, talk alike, do things alike and share the same things. In these verses he also mentions that both Father and Son do not change. Messiah says that He is the same yesterday, today and in the future and we all know that the Messiah was there from the beginning, as said in John 1. When I read these verses, I understand that whatever Our Creator said in the beginning, (the promises He made yesterday), still apply today. Those promises are renewed, made better; they are not removed /replaced. Murder in Moses time was wrong, today it cannot be acceptable, it is still wrong and will be wrong in the future, our Creator does not change, full stop! Did He send His only son to come change that which He said yesterday?

Yesterday the commands were (law) but no favor (grace as we know it) and now His son has come to remove the commands and replace it with grace only. I have been studying the scriptures with the guidance of the Spirit for the last 5 years and cannot find this in scripture. When I read the Old Testament I find many places were Father showed grace to people, like wise, I read in many places in the New Testament that we must obey the commands because if we do not, we do not love our Messiah, as stated in 1 John 5:2-3. Please pray for guidance.

2 Peter 3:7 & Hebrews 8:10, The Torah or instruction of Yahuah stays the same in any covenant; it never changed in any biblical covenant.

Praise Yah for not changing

How long must we wait

The Question

Psalms 94:3-7; how long shall we wait Yahuah (Heavenly Father), how long are the wrong, how long are wrong going to triumph? They pour forth words, they speak arrogantly; All the workers of wickedness boast in themselves. They crush Your people O Yahuah (Yahweh), and they afflict Your inheritance. They kill the widow and the stranger and murder the fatherless. Yet they say, "Yah does not see and Father of Jacob pays no attention."

What the Psalmist asks Yahuah (Yahweh), I have asked many times, why do the wrong triumph? I am sure you have asked the same things?

In today’s times, there is an abundance of wickedness, pride, abuse of power; murderers and rapists are getting away… and gaining, thinking they are ahead! They are just like the wicked people in David's time who think that Heavenly Father is asleep and does not see these things; also these people of today think Father does not care or He is asleep.

I have news for them! Father is not asleep! He is still in control and one day soon, the wrong will be removed!

Psalms 94:22-23; But Yahuah (Yahweh) is my tower of defense; and my Elohim (Almighty) is the rock of my refuge and He shall turn their own iniquity upon them; and He shall destroy them in their own evil, Yahuah  our Elohim shall cut them off!
The psalmist starts by crying for justice against evil men, and then shows that the righteous who obey Torah (Instructions/Commands) will be rewarded and then shows Yahuah’s judgment on the wicked. At the end, everyone will reap what he sows and there is a day of judgment for all!

Habakkuk 1:1-5; The burden which Habakkuk the prophet saw: O Yahuah (Yahweh), until when shall I cry for help, and You will not hear? I cry out to You, Violence! But You do not save. Why do You make me see evil, and You look upon toil? For destruction and violence are before me; and there is strife, and contention rises up. On account of this the Torah has become helpless, and justice does not continually go forth. For the wicked surrounds the righteous, so justice goes forth, being perverted. Look among the nations and behold, and be amazed. Be amazed! For a work is working in your days which you will not believe, though it be told to you.

In Verses 2-4, things have gotten so morally corrupt that the Torah had become irrelevant!  The people ignore it and no punishment seemed imminent. Yahuah’s answer is that the people must have patience as He will be doing an amazing work at this time.

The Answer

Proverb 24:19-20; Do not burn in anger because of evildoers, and do not envy the wicked; for no reward shall be to the wicked; the lamp of the wicked will be put out.

Matthew 25:31-33; But when the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the Angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory. And before Him shall be gathered all the nations; and He will separate them from one another, as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. And indeed He will set the sheep off His right, but the goats off the left hand. Verse 41; Then He will also say to those on His left, go away from Me, cursed ones, into the everlasting fire having been prepared for the devil and his angels.  Verse 46; And these shall go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into everlasting life.

Revelation 20:11-15; And I saw a Great White Throne, and the One sitting on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled; and a place was not found for them. And I saw the dead, the small and the great, standing before Yahuah (Yahweh). And books were opened. And another Book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged out of the things written in the books, according to their works.  And the sea gave up the dead in it. And death and the grave gave up the dead in them. And they were each judged according to their works. And death and the grave were thrown into the Lake of Fire. This is the second death.  And if anyone was not found having been written in the Book of Life, he was thrown into the Lake of Fire.

   

 

Everything that everyone has ever done is written in these books and people are judged by their deeds according to the standard of the 10 commandments. Those with evil hearts and intent in their life will go to the Lake of fire and burn and cease to exist. The wages of sin are death.

Matthew 13:30, Allow both to grow together until the harvest. And in the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers, first gather the tares, and bind them into bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my granary. Verse 41-42; The Son of Man will send forth His Angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all stumbling blocks, and those who practice lawlessness. And they will throw them into the furnace of fire; there will be weeping and gnashing of the teeth.

Read this verse again and fear the Almighty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Malachi 4:1 & 3 For, behold, the day is coming, burning like a fire pot; and all the proud and every doer of wickedness shall be chaff. And the coming day will set them ablaze, says Yahuah of Hosts, which will not leave root or branches to them. And you shall tread under the wicked, for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day which I am preparing, says Yahuah of Hosts.

Psalms 37:34 & 38; Wait on YHVH (YHWH) and keep His way; and He shall exalt you to inherit the land; you shall see when the wicked are cut off. Verse 38; But the transgressors are destroyed together; the end of the wicked is cut off.

Psalms 9:5-6 You have rebuked the nations; You have destroyed the wicked; You have put out their name forever and ever. The desolations of the enemy are ended forever; and You have uprooted the cities; their memory has perished with them.

Revelation 21:8 But for the cowardly and unbelieving, and those having become sinful, and to murderers, and fornicators, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and to all liars, their part will be in the Lake burning with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.

This scripture very clearly shows the responsibility to those receiving salvation that they must cleanse their hearts and minds and produce good fruit. It is fear, which is the opposite of faith that leads one into following his own deceitful heart that will lead to sin and death.

Luke 13:3 No, I say to you, but if you do not repent, you will all likewise be destroyed.

Repentance is always a prerequisite for forgiveness. REPENT & Turn Back to YHVH/YHWH.

It is clear throughout scripture that wickedness will only last for so long before it is destroyed! For some it takes longer than for others and some get away with it all their lives but if we understand the scriptures correctly, the end for all wickedness is the lake of fire. The reward for the wicked is now here on earth, the reward for the believers is waiting for them. Be patient as our Creator is, he is waiting patiently but eventually His patience will run out!!!!

 

Praise YAH
