Set Apart Name

Messiah said to them, “When you pray, say: Our Father in the heavens, let Your Name be Set-apart (Holy) – Luke 11:2.

Whose Father, is He? He is my Father, your Father and His Father.

Father’s Name shall be kept Holy at all times.

“Father,” what is Your Name? How can I keep Your Name Holy, if I do not know Your Name!

Please tell me what Your Name is Father!

Father, You revealed Your Name throughout scripture to many people and they called You by Your Name.

I also want to call You Father by Your Name as the following people spoke Your Name;

Father, You told Moses Your Name and You said Your Name is forever, and is a remembrance to all generations.’ (Exodus 3:15).

Moses proclaimed Your Name in the song he wrote for You. (Deuteronomy 32:3).

Moses said twice, we must swear by Your Name. (Deuteronomy 6:13 & 10:20).

 

David made Your Name known to his brothers (Psalm 22:22).

David also said Your Name is to be remembered to all generations and people will praise You forever (Psalm 45:17).

David says we should sing praises to Your Name (Psalm 68:4).

Father, You answered David’s calls because he knew Your Name (Psalm 91:14).

David gave thanks to Your Name, as Your Name is great above all (Psalm 138:2).

Joel told us if we call You by Your Name, we will be saved (Joel 2:32).

You told Jeremiah to say to the gentiles and to Israel that Your wrath will be poured out on them if they do not call on Your Name (Jeremiah 10:25).

Father You told Zechariah that one third of people will be refine as silver is refined, and they shall call on Your Name, and You shall answer them (Zechariah 13:7-9).

Who established all the ends of the earth? Father who did these marvellous things?What is Your Name, Father? (Proverbs 30:4).

 

Messiah revealed Your Name to those You gave Him out of this world (John 17:6).

People did not know Your Name when Messiah was here on earth but Messiah made sure the people knew Your Name before He left and He is still making Your Name known (John 17:25-26).

Peter said if we call You by Your Name, we will be saved(Acts 2:21).

Paul confirms this as well; we will be saved if we call You by Your Name (Romans 10:13).

Father today Your Name is supressed and many calls You by titles but please Father, I want to call You by Your Name and I want to keep Your Name Holy – Set Apart.

I want to be saved.

 

Scriptures Messiah spoke about

 

Has your mind been opened to understand the scriptures?

Can anybody pick-up the scriptures, read it and have clear understanding what it is saying?

In the past I would read the scripture, and not have a clue what I just read and because of not understanding, I seldom read the scriptures.

But this all changed about 10 years ago when the scriptures were opened up to me to understand. Some parts I did not completely understand at first but later on it became clearer to me.

Why could I not previously understand and what happened that I now have more understanding. NB Still learning every day.

 

 

 

Listen to what the Messiah says to His close followers;

He said to them, “These are the words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all have to be fulfilled that were written in the Torah of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms concerning Me.”

After saying this to them, hear what He did next;

Then He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures, …

Amazing!!

 

 

I’m a witness that today He still opens up believers’minds to understand His word.

Messiah through the Ruach of Yah is the One who truly opens our minds to understand the Scriptures!

All the glory to Father Yahuah through Yahusha.

Luke 24:44-45 And He said to them, these are the Words which I spoke to you yet being with you, that all the things must be fulfilled having been written in the Torah of Moses, and the Prophets, and the Psalms, concerning Me.

Then He opened up their mind to understand the Scriptures.

Saved so we can sin again

Jeremiah 7:8-10

“See, you are trusting in false words,which do not profit.Will you steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely,and burn incense to Baal, and walk after other gods whom you do not know?And will you then come and stand before Me in this house on which My name is called, and say, we are delivered (saved) in order to do all those abominations.

Does this sound familiar?

Let me read these verses in plain English: You listen to all the nice words that makes you feel good. You steal, murder (abortions, harmful medicine), commit adultery (divorce, same sex, watch porn, child trafficking), promise falsely (false oath, lies, bribes) and worship other gods/idols (false religion, sport stars, music stars, movie stars, jobs, status, diplomas) which you see as nothing wrong. Then you go to a building called church/temple which is said to be the Almighty’s place of worship, you say a pray, confess His name and then you say ‘I’m saved” and go back to sinning as before.

You guessed it; the Israelites in Jeremiah’s time also believed “once saved always saved.” No wonder people are discouraged to read the prophets in the Old Testament because you will find out reading further on in Jeremiah, Yahuah cast them all out from His presence, just like He removed Himself from Shiloh where He personally placed His Name because of the people walking in darkness.

 

Many people are taught that the Messiah came to change everything from the old ways and others are taught been the chosen people, always will be the chosen people. You will not find anywhere in scripture where the true Messiah said He came to change the Tanak (Old Testament) and nowhere in the Tanak is said that you are the chosen people if you do not obey His voice and do His will.

This was me at one time. I lived this lie.

The part (remnant) of Israel that obeys His voice will be His chosen people. That is a promise He made forever.

The more I read the prophets the more I realize what is happening today is just another repeat of those ancient days and we cannot blame anybody but ourselves. What the prophets spoke in their time, applies for us today as well.

So, what now! What can we do!

The only thing I can think of is cry, fall on our knees, repent, as an individual, as a family and as a nation.

 

Hear what I tell you today as this is the truth – repentance and obeying His voice is the only way forward because only a remnant of Israel including the strangers that walked in His righteousness will be saved.

Have mercy on us, Almighty Yahuah, we lack knowledge.

You stand in this house, which you call by My Name, and say, ‘We have been saved’ in order to do abominations!“Has this house, which you call by My Name, become a den of robbers in your eyes?Look, I Myself have seen it,” declares Yahuah.

Return to Him

 

O Jacob, return to Yahuah your Elohim, for you have stumbled by your crookedness.

Take words with you, and return to Yahuah.

Say to Him, “Take away all crookedness, and accept what is good, ……. (Hosea 14:1-2).

Say to Him, “Forgive my sins, as I repent and accept Your goodness.”

You will not be able to return if your deeds of whorings is still among you (Hosea 5:4)

Have you perished for lack of knowledge because you rejected the Word (Hosea 4:6)

 

Who is wise and understands these words, discerning and knows them?

Has the Messiah opened your mind to understand the Torah, the Prophets and the Psalms concerning Him? (Luke 24:44-45). The so-called Old Testament which is not old at all.

 

For the ways of Yahuah are straight, and the righteous walk in them.

The path is straight and narrow, only a few find it.

But the transgressors (sinners, lukewarm, etc.) stumble in them. (Hosea 14:9).

 

Return to Him when you are wise and understand His word so you can endure to the end!

Receiving the Spirit

The next step after believing the Creator exists and obeying Him, is receiving the Spirit of Yahuah, known as the Ruach HaKodesh or Set-apart Spirit and in English the Holy Spirit.

Can a person believe there is a Creator and not have the Spirit of Yahuah? I believe so!

To receive the gifts of Yahuah, you need the Ruach HaKodesh from the Most High Creator.

His Spirit is given to those who obey Him (see Acts 5:32), likewise His Spirit can be taken away from those who disobey Him.King Saul and King David are two good examples of receiving the Ruach of Yahuah and how their lives turned out.

1 Samuel 10:6“And the Spirit of Yahuah shall come upon you (that is King Saul), and you shall prophesy with them and be turned into another man.1 Samuel 11:6 And the Spirit of Elohim came upon Saul mightily….

 

 

We read in 1 Samuel 16:14 of Yahuah taking His Spirit away from Saul. This is the sad result when someone, who had received the Spirit, disobeys Yahuah – even if the Spirit of Elohim did come upon him again for a while, as we read in 1 Samuel 19:23.

On the other hand, we have King David also receiving the Ruach from Yahuah in 1 Samuel 16:13.

Both King Saul and David received the Spirit of Yahuah because they knew, loved and obeyed the Almighty.

The Spirit of Yahuah was removed from King Saul because of disobedience and his repentance was not sincere due to his pride. I believe King Saul forgot the importance of having the Spirit of Yahuah due to his blindness to pride.

King David understood the importance of having the Spirit of Yahuah as we read in Psalm 51:10-11 where David cried out to Yahuah after his sin, to create in him a clean heart and not to take away the Spirit of Yahuah.

David’s repentance was true.

 

 

 

Here are some scripture verses of how Yahuah gave His Spirit (Ruach) to people;

Yahuah speaking to Moses in Exodus 28:3“And you, speak to all the wise of heart, whom I have filled with a spirit of wisdom, …...

Yahuah giving His Spirit to a person to make designs for the temple in Exodus 31:3 and I have filled him with the Spirit of Elohim in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all work, ……

Numbers 11:29 Then Moses said to him, “Are you jealous for my sake? Oh, that all the people of Yahuah were prophets, that Yahuah would put His Spirit upon them!”

Judges 3:10 And the Spirit of Yahuah came upon him, and he ruled Israel,

Judges 15:14 When he came to Lehi, the Philistines came shouting to meet him. And the Spirit of Yahuah came mightily upon Samson.

David’s last words in 2 Samuel 23:2 was; “The Spirit of Yahuah has spoken through me, and His word is on my tongue.

Psalm 33:6 By the Word of Yahuah the heavens were made, and all their host by the Spirit of His mouth,…

“The Word” and “the Spirit” are fully in agreement, with one accord.

Nehemiah 9:20“You also gave Your good Spirit to instruct them, and did not withhold Your manna from their mouth, and gave them water for their thirst.

2 Chronicles 15:1 And the Spirit of Elohim came upon Azariah son of Oded.

 

 

 

The fulfilled prophesy of the coming Messiah

Isaiah 11:2 The Spirit of Yahuah shall rest upon Him …...

Isaiah 42:1 “See, My Servant whom I uphold, My Chosen One My being has delighted in! I have put My Spirit upon Him;

Isaiah 59:20-21“And the Redeemer shall come to Tsiyon, and to those turning from transgression in Jacob,” declares Yahuah. “As for Me, this is My covenant with them,” said Yahuah: “My Spirit that is upon you, and My Words that I have put in your mouth, shall not be withdrawn from your mouth, nor from the mouth of your descendants, nor from the mouth of your descendants’ descendants,” said Yahuah, “from this time and forever.”

His Spirit and His Word operate together, in unity. This prophecy about a covenant was for True Israel, therefore for Messiah, for He is the embodiment of True Israel – He is their Sovereign.

Future Prophesy that has already begun but not completed;

Ezekiel 39;28-29‘And they shall know that I am Yahuah their Elohim, who sent them into exile among the gentiles, and then gathered them back to their own land, and left none of them behind. ‘And no longer do I hide My face from them, for I shall have poured out My Spirit on the house of Israel,’ declares the Master Yahuah.”

Has this prophesy begun or still in the near future;

Joel 2:27-28“And you shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am Yahuah your Elohim and there is no one else. And My people shall never be put to shame. “And after this it shall be that I pour out My Spirit on all flesh. And your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men dream dreams, your young men see visions.

The apostle in Acts 2:17 also mentions this same prophesy.

 

 

 

The Messianic period

Matthew 3:11 “I indeed immerse you in water unto repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to bear. He shall immerse you in the Set-apart Spirit and fire.Read also Luke 4:18, This I believe is the fulfillment of Isaiah 59:20-21 & Isaiah 61:1-3.

John 6:63 “It is the Spirit that gives life, the flesh does not profit at all. The words that I speak to you are Spirit and are life. See verse 68, and 1 Corinthians 15:45. Again the Word and Spirit are in unity.

Acts 8:1-2 There is, then, now no condemnation to those who are in Messiah Yahusha, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. For the Torah of the Spirit of the life in Messiah Yahusha has set me free from the law of sin and of death.

This means to me: Those who have only been born of the flesh are fleshly, while those who have been born of the Spirit are new creatures and the Ruach now lives in them to convict them to no longer sin or wish to sin and they love the teachings or law of Elohim.

1 Peter 1:2 chosen according to the foreknowledge of Elohim the Father, set apart by the Spirit unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Yahusha Messiah:

Obedience is also stressed in 1 Peter 1:14 & verse 22 Now that you have cleansed your lives in obeying the truth through the Spirit …….

1 Corinthians 3:16 Do you not know that you are a Dwelling Place or temple of Elohim and that the Spirit of Elohim dwells in you?

John having the Ruach show him the future in Revelation 1;10 I came to be in the Spirit on the Day of Yahuah, and I heard behind me a loud voice, as of a trumpet, ….

The following is very important for all true believers; 1 Thessalonians 2:19 Do not quench the Spirit.

 

I believe the main reason why we are told to be set-apart, not to touch what is unclean and to come out of her, is because the world and its system keeps us so busy with all sorts of fleshly things that the Spirit of Yahuah is quenched. This is just my opinion.

Personally, for me the most important words for receiving the Ruach HaKodesh is in John 14:23-24 Yahusha answered him, “If anyone loves Me, he shall guard My Word. And My Father shall love him, and We shall come to him and make Our stay with him. “He who does not love Me does not guard My Words. And the Word which you hear is not Mine but of the Father Who sent Me.
