Division

Messiah, "Do not think that I have come to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword (division), for I have come to bring division, a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law and a man's enemies are those of his own household - Matthew 10:34-36.

In Micah 7:6, it says that the enemies of a man are the men (family members) of his own house.

Why would Messiah Yahusha (Jesus) say He did not come to bring peace but a division! I was confused by this verse when I read it the first time! Is Messiah not love, I was told that He is love, so why these harsh words!

But I went through a division myself at the time of writing and I think I understand better now what Messiah was saying and I will try to explain this in my own words.

Yahuah created us to serve Him (not the other way round), and to have a personnel relationship with us. He did not create us to be robots where He could have implanted in us to only serve Him without any choice.

Like all the Angels in heaven, He has given us a free will! A free choice to serve Him or not to serve Him! A free will to do good or to do bad!

I have asked this question many times and I am sure you have done the same; why does Yahuah not just destroy satan and the wicked ones and then we will not have wickedness in this world! Father can do this if He wanted too, but that is not what He wants!

He wants a person to make his/her own choice to serve Him, not to force someone to serve Him.

So, one day at the end of this age, Father will have people that really love Him and want to serve Him always because they choose for themselves to follow Him. They were not forced to follow Him!

Once we have made the choice to follow Yahusha (Jesus), we then must comply to Father's conditions! The conditions (laws) are there to guide us to Him, not to burden us as many people are been taught.

Satan has one law: do as you wish, and many people prefer to abide to this one law.

Yahusha cares for us just like our daddy and mommy cared for us when we were children.

Remember the parables of the 10 virgins, the sower, weeds between the wheat, the mustard seed, the tree that bears fruit and the wedding feast? These parables are about false believers, lukewarm believers and the true believers.

This is what the division means in a man’s house with his/her family, that the true believers will be separated from the false or lukewarm believers. Man, against his father, a daughter against her mother, and so on - Matthew 10:35-36.

I realize that Yahusha did not say anything about a husband and a wife! Why not? It is because a man and a woman become one at their marriage, and therefore should not be a division between them if they both stay in Yahusha.

Many people confess to believing Yahusha but did you know satan and demons also believe Yahusha - James 2:19.

 

The division comes between the ones saying they believe and the ones doing the believe!

The false/lukewarm believers’ belief by their lips (bear no fruit) - Matthew 7:15-20.

The true believer has faith by doing (bear good fruit) - John 15:2-5 & 16.

Read also James 2:14-26, My brothers, what use is it for anyone to say he has belief but does not have works? This belief is unable to save him.  And if a brother or sister is naked and in need of daily food, but one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and be filled,” but you do not give them the bodily needs, what use is it? So also belief, if it does not have works, is in itself dead. But someone might say, “You have belief, and I have works.” Show me your belief without your works, and I shall show you my belief by my works. You believe that Elohim is one. You do well. The demons also believe – and shudder! But do you wish to know, O foolish man, that the belief without the works is dead? Was not Abraham our father declared right by works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar? Do you see that the belief was working with his works, and by the works the belief was perfected? And the Scripture was filled which says, “Abraham believed Elohim, and it was reckoned to him for righteousness.” And he was called, “Elohim’s friend.” You see, then, that a man is declared right by works, and not by belief alone. In the same way, was not Rahab the whore also declared right by works when she received the messengers and sent them out another way? For as the body without the spirit is dead, so also the belief is dead without the works.

The true bride (believers) will be the ones that are separated from the false brides and the true bride are the ones that want to be with the Bridegroom (Messiah Yahusha), they are part of Him out of their free will!

Be warned!

Division within families and friends will happen but this can be avoided if the family/friends stay in Yahusha and His Holy Spirit in them!
