Choose Now











"And now, fear Yahuah (Heavenly Father), serve Him in perfection and in truth, and put away the false idols..... Joshua 24:14.

We think idol worship was only done in the past, think again; idol worship is still with us today. When we think of idol worship we think of someone bowing down and praying to a stone or a piece of wood, which is in many ways true but it can be much simpler, then bowing to stone or wood. Today many are idol worshipping without them knowing it.

The statue in Rio (South America) is or can been seen as an idol, a picture in a house on a wall of a person which is said to be the Messiah, a cross with a person on it, just some examples.

Our Messiah Yahusha (Jesus) is living and we worship a living King not someone in a picture frame who is said by men to be the Messiah. Scripture says we worship Him in spirit and in truth not in a photo or on a cross. At one time I said, just as many still say; Messiah knows my heart and what I am doing is for Him. But this is what we want; it is all about us, not what He wants! Instead we should be asking “what does Messiah’s heart want!”















One of satan's misleading tricks is to have people using symbols in a photo frame, around our necks or on a T-shirt to represent their faith.
 
Joshua said, "And if it seems evil in your eyes to serve Yahuah, choose for yourselves this day whom you are going to serve, weather the false gods which your fathers served........... But I and my house, we serve Yahuah." Joshua 24:15.


















It is a choice; you cannot serve two masters, its Yahuah or the other gods, but not both. Yahuah is jealous; He is set-apart (Holy) and therefore will not accept anyone serving Him half way, read verse 19 of Joshua 24.

The warning is in verse 20; if you forsake Yahuah, and serve idol gods, He then will reject you and consume you.

All your attention He wants, not only a little bit, example at night when you pray that short prayer or when you are in trouble.

"And now, put away the false idols, and incline your heart to Yahuah Elohim of Israel - Joshua 24:23.










The Almighty says not to mix with those who serve other gods - Joshua 23:7, "But cling to Yahuah.......... Joshua 23:8.

Me and my house, will serve Yahauh only.

Choose right, choose life.

Endure till the end











Is it just me or do you also feel something is not right! I look around me and know the world is not doing well!

1 Peter 4:12 says; Beloved ones, do not be surprised at the fiery trial that is coming upon you, to try you, as though some unusual matter has befallen you, but as you share Messiah's sufferings, rejoice, in order that you might rejoice exultingly at the revelation of His esteem.

We have to go through sufferings just like Messiah went through His suffering. Like the Israelites walked in the desert for 40 years, so too must we go through the desert!





















Judgment must come and each believer must know that everyone is going to be part of the process because the good wheat must be separated from the bad wheat (chaff).

So then, those who suffer according to the desire of Elohim should commit their lives to a trustworthy Creator (Heavenly Father), in doing good - 1 Peter 4:19.

We as the believers of the Good News of Yahusha Messiah (Jesus) must be like little shepherds, helping the flock of Elohim (Almighty) to Him and we must be examples to the flock - 1 Peter 5:1-3.
















Going through these trials and being a little shepherd to Father's flock will be rewarded at the time when the Chief Shepherd (Messiah) appears and we receive the never-fading crown of esteem - 1 Peter 5:4.

Stay humble, resist being proud, because proudness is going to destroy you but be humble always so that Yahuah exalts you in due time, casting all your worry upon Him, for He is concerned about you - 1 Peter 5:5-7.

Be sober, watch, because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour - 1 Peter 5:8.

Watch out for the evil one and his worldly entertainment as this can easily mislead you away from the Creator of the universe. Do not go after the world and its entertainment as satan will do anything to distract the believer from Yahusha (Jesus).

Philippians 2:12 work out your own deliverance (salvation) with fear and trembling.

King David said in Psalm 2:11, Serve Yahauh with fear, and rejoice with trembling.

















Fellow believers stay focused on His Word, endure till the end! He promised a crown to those who endures till the end.

Be Strong





















Will you be able to be strong and courageous when the tribulation (trouble) begins?

When Joshua (Yehoshua/Yahusha) and the Israelites went into the promised land, they actually went through a type of tribulation during the period of taking the land and Yahuah (Heavenly Father) said to them "Be strong and courageous, for you are to let this people inherit the land....... Joshua 1:6.

"Only be strong and very courageous, to guard to do according to all the Torah...... Joshua 1:7.







"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid, nor be discouraged, for Yahuah your Elohim (Almighty) is with you wherever you go" Joshua 1:9.

Only be strong and courageous" Joshua 1:18.

Father tells them four times to be strong and courageous before they crossed over the river.

This land was full of strong giants, idol worshippers, child sacrifices, sexual immorality and lawlessness. Father knew what laid ahead for Israel when they crossed the Jordan river.

Father Yahuah is still saying it to us today as we go through trouble times and the bigger trouble still lying ahead, "Be strong and very courageous."















When Israel fought and conquered the promised land, Father Yahuah said to Israel in Joshua 23:6, " And you shall be very strong to guard and to do all that is written in the Book of the Torah (Instructions written in scripture)............

The times of trouble is coming, scripture tells us so, Father's prophets said so and Messiah Yahusha (Jesus) Himself also warned us.

Are you obeying Elohim (Almighty), are you set-apart (Holy) to Yahuah, do you believe-truly believe. Is your faith and believe solid in Elohim, are you strong and courageous.













If Yahuah is with us, who can be against us.

Signs of Belief



What are the signs of belief? This is a question I have been asking myself many times!

How much belief do I have, is my belief enough that I could be healed if I asked for it? If I have flu, would I pray for healing and then go see a doctor for medication or do I see the doctor for medication and then pray that I be healed? Is this the Belief that scripture is talking about?

Hear what Messiah Yahusha (Jesus) says in Mark 16:17 what are the signs of someone believing. Firstly He says in verse 16 that those who believed and have been immersed (Baptized), shall be saved and then He says in verse 17 what the signs of Belief are; "And these signs shall accompany the ones who believe: In My Name they shall cast out demons, they shall speak with renewed tongues, they shall take up (pick up) snakes, and if they drink any deadly poison it shall by no means hurt them, they shall lay hands on the sick and they shall get well."












This is the signs of belief! If you BELIEVE, TRULY BELIEVE with no doubt, then in the Name of Yahusha (Jesus) you would be able to do what He says in verse 17.

So, if I understand Yahusha Messiah correctly, if I have flu, all I need to do is to ask in His Name for healing and believe that I would be healed without going to a doctor for medication.

If I believe in His Name that I would be healed then I shall be healed. Would I be healed at that moment I pray for healing! On many occasions I had received healing only at a later stage and not on the day of asking. Now recently when I had flu I received healing after a few weeks. I do confess that I did ask a few times as to why healing is taking so long. But I also understand that Father has His own time and I need only to be patient and to believe.

And if I truly believe, in His Name I could drive out demons, pick up snakes without being bitten, accidentally drinking poison would not harm me, and I could heal other people who are sick....





















This sounds simple, but is it that simple? If you believe then it is simple but if you struggling to believe then it is not that simple.

The question is; would I rather go see a doctor for medication or would I rather pray through Messiah to Father Yahuah (Heavenly Father) and believe He would heal me?



















Believing in the one true Creator is the key.

Understand the Reign













Do you know the secret of the reign? Mark 4:11 and He said to them, “To you it has been given to know the secret of the reign of Elohim, but to those who are outside, all are done in parables,

After Messiah told the people the parable of the sower, He said in Mark 4:9 & 4:23, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear!"




















'Hearing you shall hear and by no means understand, and seeing you shall see and by no means perceive, for the heart of this people has become thickened, and their ears are hard of hearing, and their eyes they have closed, lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, lest they should understand with their heart, and turn back and I heal them' - Matthew 13:14-15 & Mark 4:12.

“Make the heart of this people fat, and their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and shall turn and be healed.”- Isaiah 6:10.











Remember, Heavenly Father looks at the heart and therefore we should understand with our heart. When you have received the secret of the salvation of Messiah then you will understand with your heart.

Messiah says in Mark 4:24-25 and He said to them, “Take heed what you hear. With the same measure you use, it shall be measured to you, and more shall be added to you who hear. “For whoever possesses, to him more shall be given; but whoever does not possess, even what he possesses shall be taken away from him.”

Messiah is not talking about worldly possessions but what your heart possess, the secret of the kingdom. Seek thee first the Kingdom of Yahuah (Heavenly Father).















We should search our heart so we can see and hear His word. Ask His Spirit (Holy Spirit) to search your heart. The heart is a two way portal, a connection between our Creator through Messiah and His Set-Apart Spirit (Holy) who is in every true believer.








You have a free will to do something, take the action to possess, if you do not, then what you have will be taken away.

Guard what you possess, so more can be given. Take heed what you hear.
