Shalom!
“Do Not Be Afraid! Do Not Be Discouraged! You Are Not Alone!” is #103.0 under the Mikvah of the Heart of Elohim.
This is an exhortation as well as encouragement. So many feel isolated and alone, especially with this lockdown situation in so many countries. The lives of billions now are being turned upside down in some way. As born-again children of Yahuwah, we are ambassadors of His love and peace at this time – but first we must be full of His love and peace.
In Israel, there is a cultish messianic group that is way out of line with the Word. Of course, like all falsity it demands obedience to its creed. It rides on arrogance and pride. Many Israeli Messianics are taking sides with it, or against it.
It’s an outright battle in some arenas. “Come out from among them and be separate and touch not the unclean thing and I will receive you.” It is unclean to cause division and demand that others bow to the will of a certain leader or group. We must flee divisiveness among believers. So many people need the love and forgiveness of our Savior. When they see such stupidity among so-called “believers,” they do not want to get involved with that mess. I don’t blame them.
This is a time when Yahuwah’s Spirit is unifying those who know their Elohim, who walk in Their Presence, and who have their nature, their thinking, and act in their ways. He cannot unify sin, pride, self-righteousness, and divisions of men.
Religion all goes back to pre-flood days. After the flood, Nimrod the arch-type of the anti-messiah, demanded worship as a god. He was the original “sun god.” His religion left Yahuwah out. He initiated division and worse, like pride, arrogance, haughtiness, self-righteousness, gossip, slander, back-biting, the ruining of reputations, and mockery – all in the name of “God.”
It’s sick – sicker than mosty sin. It’s the fruit of the flesh. We take our stand against unrighteousness by our walk of purity and righteousness before others. We show our set-apartness by our love for one another. The root of religion is in the fallen angels, in their offspring the Nephilim, who, like Nimrod, demanded loyalty and worship. While the religious quarrel and arrogantly put down others, the real remnant of Yahuwah goes forth with His message of judgment and of salvation.
We are at a time when people are feeling very alone. The love of many is growing cold as Messiah prophesied. At this time, more than any other time in human history, His children must be ambassadors of Good News, edification, exhortation, love, and kindness, reflecting our Father’s love for mankind – not their sin – but for their eternal salvation.
We must not justify sin, but then we must not sin by self-righteous pride either. It was Satan’s pride that caused his rebellion. I wrote a very strong article entitled “Religion” a few years back, exposing it’s sowing of deception in the minds of people so that they forsake their spirit for intellectualism to embrace man-made belief-systems, forsake knowing Yahuwah and Yahushua, and thus are damned.
In this article I give encouragement to the child-like, the meek, the lowly of spirit, the contrite, – those that tremble at His Word. (Isaiah 66:1-2). If ever we needed to be together in “fervent love” for each other, as Kepha/Peter exhorts, it is now. This short article covers a lot of truth that is on the heart of Elohim.
“By this shall all men know that you are My disciples by your love one for another.”
In His love, peace, and joy, Yedidah
