Psalms 111

Praise Yah! I thank Yahuah (Heavenly Father) with all my heart, in the company of the straight(upright), and of the congregation (assembly).

HalleluYAH  means Praise Yah (From Hebrew).

Great are the works of Yahuah, searched for by all who delight in them. I love the great miracles of the most high Creator.

Splendor and greatness are His work, and His righteousness stands forever.

He is Almighty and is forever.

His greatness, His miracles and wonders are remembered; Yahuah shows grace and is compassionate.

If you fear Him, you will always have food. He always remembers His covenant forever and ever. He shows His power to His people. Why does He show His power to His people? To give them the inheritance of the nations.

The works of His hands are truth and right-ruling, all His orders (laws) are trustworthy, they are upheld forever and ever, performed in truth and straightness.

His truth is His word and the right- ruling is His Torah (Commands) which can be trusted and will lead you forever in straightness.

He sent redemption to His people (Messiah came to redeem), He command His covenant to be forever.

His Name is awesome and set-apart (Holy).

O Abba, we love your Name, as Your Name has power.

The beginning of wisdom is to fear Yahuah. Fear Yahuah and you will be saved. If you have wisdom, you have good understanding.

His praise is standing forever. HalleluYAH!

Christmas = pagan Holiday

For many this will not be a pleasant message, in fact many may be angry. This message is not written to hurt anyone but the truth must be told.

Many know the truth but many believers do not.

Many Christians have been deceived for many years, I was also deceived all my childhood and most of my adulthood. We have been lied too for many years. Christians celebrate Christmas every year, stating they are celebrating the birth of Jesus (His Hebrew Name - Yahusha).

Even non believers celebrate Christmas.

I have read the scriptures from Genesis to Revelation and studied the four gospels and cannot find any chapter/verse that says the Messiah Yahusha (Jesus) was born on the 25th December.

December in Israel is winter and many a times it snows over this period. The shepherds do not take their live stock out into the fields over this period because of the cold.

The scripture says that the shepherds were out in the field (night) when they saw the sign of the Messiah's birth. It is true the scripture does mention the Messiah's birth in detail, but nowhere in scripture does it give us an instruction to celebrate His birthday every year.

What we need to celebrate every year is His death and resurrection which is on Passover but not His birth. 

No where will you find Santa in scripture (Santa - shuffle the words around and you get satan - strange but true).

No where will  you find a Christmas tree in scripture which must be placed in the house of a believer.

No where will you find an instruction that gifts must be wrapped and be placed under the tree.

Christmas is a pagan holiday and it is a complete abomination to the Almighty Father Yahuah.

Please do not believe me, do your own research (google, read, investigate). If you believe in the Almighty Creator (Yahuah) and His Son the Messiah, the Elohim of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob then you should not be part of the Christmas celebration in any way.

Understand Him

I Corinthians 2:11-16, For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the spirit of the man, which is in him? Even so the thoughts of Yahuah (Heavenly Father) no one knows except the Spirit of Yahuah. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from Yahuah, that we might know the things freely given to us by Yahuah, which things we also speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, combining spiritual thoughts with spiritual words. But a natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of Yahuah; for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually appraised... For who has known the mind of Elohim, that he should instruct Him? But we have the mind of Messiah.

Although we have been given access to the wisdom and knowledge of Yahuah through His Spirit (Holy Spirit) which dwells in us, many do not avail themselves of these things but rather listen to the traditions of man.

You will only understand the words in the scripture if you have the Spirit of Yahuah, which is available to anyone who wants to follow Yahuah.

James lamented the following in James 4:2 You desire, and do not have. James 4:3  You ask and do not receive,....

To receive you will need to come to accept that there is a Creator and that He sent His son Messiah Yahusha (Jesus), to redeem His people, who has died and was restricted after three days and three nights and ascended to heaven and sitting now at the right side of Father preparing a place for His bride.

To receive the set-apart Spirit (Holy Spirit), you will need to repent (turn away from your old ways), be baptized in full water (washing away the old you & being clean for new) then follow Him and obey His commands.

Scripture

2 Timothy 3:16-17, All Scripture is inspired by Yahuah (Heavenly Father) and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; that the man of Elohim (Almighty) may be adequate, equipped for every good work.

The Scriptures are profitable for equipping the people of the Creator.

Let me give you an analogy that someone wrote to illustrate the role of the Scriptures. I enjoyed this comparison and hope you do too!

A man is hired to perform a very technical job in a field that he has no experience in. The business owner (Yahuah/Yahusha) has deemed the man to be a good candidate for the job, as he has an excellent spirit about him. The owner (Elohim) is therefore willing to invest in his training. The owner (Elohim) provides the man with a training manual (Scripture) that reveals to him the entire process of manufacturing the product that they sell. The manual (Scripture) covers everything, from the very beginning, through all the stages of production, to the finished product. The man is encouraged to study the manual (Scripture) carefully, seeking to comprehend the methods of his employer (Elohim). The man is also told that once he begins his job, he can keep the manual (Scripture) to pull it out to be used as a reference when he needs to understand something.

The day comes when the business owner (Elohim) assigns the man his first task. Although the man has studied the manual (scripture), he still needs to receive instruction in his duties, for every employee in the operation has a specific function to fulfil. These functions must be coordinated by management (Holy Spirit), to insure that everything is working harmoniously, and that nothing is being neglected.

At times the employees will also be given changes of assignment, and will be called upon to produce specialty items. The details of these things are not spoken of in the manual (scripture). They must be conveyed through management (Holy Spirit).

Production is also effected by market conditions, and at times there will even be times when production is halted, and other times when production is increased. The owner (Heavenly Father) ultimately controls all of these matters, and the employees must stay in constant contact with him through his managers (Holy Spirit) to discern his will.

In our lives, we have been given the Scriptures to instruct and equip us, but we must daily be guided by the Set-apart Spirit (Holy Spirit) in that which we do. The Holy Spirit is able to interrupt our normal routine and guides us throughout the day. He must also often give us precise instructions to know how to carry out some work of the Father.

There are seasons when Yahuah will increase the manifestation of His divine power, and other times when He will diminish it.

These things are determined by His own counsel, and we must always remain in communication with Him.

Praise Yahuah!

Light

I John 1:5-7: “And this is the message that we have heard from Him and announce to you, that Elohim is light and there is no darkness in Him at all! If we say we have fellowship with Him and walk in darkness, we lie and are not doing the Truth. If we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Yahusha Messiah(Jesus), Elohim’s Son, cleanses us from all sin.”

John 8:12: “And Yahusha spoke again to them saying, `I am the light of the world, he who follows Me shall by no means walk in darkness, but shall possesses the light of life.”

2 Corinthians 6:14: “What fellowship has light with darkness?”

Genesis 1:1-4, 16-18: And Elohim separated the light from the darkness…

From the creation of earth, His first act was to bring forth light where darkness had ruled, and to separate the light from the darkness.

Proverbs 4:18-19: “But the path of the righteous is like the light of dawn that shines brighter to the full day. The way of the wicked is like darkness. They do not know at what they stumble.”

He gives us a clear choice--walk in the light, or struggle in the darkness. We can’t do both. What is sad is that most of His people, walk in darkness, and stumble, because they do not allow the Spirit of Yahuah to teach them His Word. If we try to walk in a mixture of light and darkness, it is guaranteed that the darkness will extinguish the little light that we have, because the human sin-nature loves darkness more than light (John 1). 

From Ephesians 5:8: “For you were once darkness, but now are you light in the Master. Walk as children of light… verse11 and have no fellowship with the fruitless works of darkness, but rather reprove them… verse 13 For all things being exposed are manifested by the light …”

Daniel 2:22: “He reveals deep and secret things. He knows what is in the darkness and light dwells with Him.”

The whole world lies in darkness/wickedness because it is controlled by the prince of darkness--the “god of this world," which is satan.

Those that love this world live in Satan’s darkness, making themselves enemies of Elohim.

James 4:4; Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with Elohim? Whoever therefore intends to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of Elohim.

I John 2:15-17 Do not love the world nor that which is in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. Because all that is in the world – the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life – is not of the Father but is of the world. And the world passes away, and the lust of it, but the one doing the desire of Elohim remains forever.

Yahuah only claims the children of light as His children! Make no friends with the world system, for it is part of the dark kingdom that seeks to ensnare Yahuah's people in their trap. The darkness is getting darker, so our light will be more obvious.

From I Thessalonians 5:1, 4-9: “Now brothers, as to the times and the seasons, you do not have to be written to…you brothers are not in the darkness that this day should overtake you as a thief. For you are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night, nor of the darkness. So, we should not sleep as others do but be watchful and sober-minded…but we who are of the day should be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet the expectation of deliverance, because Elohim did not appoint us to wrath but to obtain salvation through our Master, Yahusha Messiah.”

I Peter 2:9: “You are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a set-apart nation, a people for a possession, that you should proclaim the praise of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvellous light!” 

Are you proclaiming the praise of Him who died and rose for you? There is no light for those who are not truly born again by faith in the blood of Yahusha for the removal of sin and right-standing with Yahuah. “Without the shedding of blood, there is no remission of sin.”

Leviticus 17:11 ‘For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your lives, for it is the blood that makes atonement for the life.’

Hebrews 9:7, But into the second part the high priest went alone once a year, not without blood, which he offered for himself and for sins of ignorance of the people. Verse 11-12 But Messiah, having become a High Priest of the coming good matters, through the greater and more perfect Tent not made with hands, that is, not of this creation, entered into the Most Set-apart Place once for all, not with the blood of goats and calves, but with His own blood, having obtained everlasting redemption. Verse 18  Therefore not even the first covenant was instituted without blood.

Without the blood of the Lamb of Elohim we are hopelessly lost. By His taking our sin, we are set free to live in the Light of Elohim. Your light within your spirit is a restrainer of darkness! You hold the light in the temple of your spirit, if indeed you are filled with the Spirit of Yahuah.

The light repels darkness.

Take Messiah’s warning seriously! Don’t let your light go out!

Revelation 3:15-22, the assembly of Laodicia. They are lukewarm--a mixture of hot and cold, light and darkness. They are content to live in a mixture. But, Abba will allow no mixtures in His Presence!
