07/08/2005 Sabbath Meeting Transcript

The spirit of the world...

A spirit that entwines and entangles...

A spirit that destroys and slowly kills...

Little by little, bit by bit...

Until the word is choked out

I've heard it said..

If you put a frog in a pot of boiling hot water, he will try to jump out. But if you put a frog in a pot of water and ever-so-slowly raise the temperature.. he won't know that he is slowly approaching death

So it is with the spirit of the world, the world and all its pursuits

It is such a slow death that few know they are being harmed until it is too late

It is such a deceptive death that few know when they enter its doors

So tonight I would like to share some things on what scripture has to say about "the world", who it really belongs to and how we should relate to it.

To Whom does "the world" belong?

Psalms 50:12 - If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world is mine, and the fulness thereof.

The world belongs to Yahweh, yet some act as if it belonged to them

What will eventually happen to the world?

Psalms 9:8 - And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness.

Isaiah 13:11 - And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.

John 16:7 - Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.

John 16:8 - And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:

John 16:9 - Of sin, because they believe not on me;

John 16:10 - Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;

John 16:11 - Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.

Yes, brethren.. the whole world will be judged

Including the residing prince of it

For things are not as Yahweh intended

He set man to have dominion over everything.. but man has chosen a prince for themselves

Man has chosen a liar, and the father of lies

John 8:4 - They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.

John 8:44 - Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

We must be aware of this!

Scripture teaches that all the world is deceived..

Revelation 12:9 - So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

Knowing this, we surely must beware of its trappings and be on the lookout for deception

The enemy has done a hostile takeover

So we must be ready to be a part when Yahweh takes it back and rules over all things

The righteous will one day take part in the judgment of it:

1Corinthians 6:1 - Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints?

1Corinthians 6:2 - Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters?

If we are to one day judge the world, surely we would want to be no part of its evil

Rather, our attitude should be to keep ourselves clean from it:

James 1:27 - Pure and undefiled religion before YAHWEH the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.

The world places a stain

Have you ever felt the stain?

I've felt the stain

After a day of rejoicing on the Shabbat, a visit to an unbelieving relative afterward with the TV pouring out its worldly spirit.. I do feel stained

Let's seek to not have its spirit influencing us, but Yahweh's Spirit in us influencing those who seek to be drawn to Yahweh's light

Does this mean that we need to go out of the world?

1Corinthians 5:9 - I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators:

1Corinthians 5:10 - Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world.

1Corinthians 5:11 - But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.

We should be more wary of the world being in the brethren than the world being in the world

We should expect the world to be in the worldly people.. Yahweh forbid that the world be in us

We are not to love the world, nor are we to have the world in us. Rather we are to overcome the world:

1John 5:4 - For whatever is born of YAHWEH overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world--our faith.

1John 5:5 - Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Yahushua is the Son of YAHWEH?

But didn't Yahweh "so love the world?"

Yes

John 3:16 - For YAHWEH so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

John 3:17 - For YAHWEH sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

John 3:18 - He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of YAHWEH.

We should not love the world in the sense that we long to do the things they do, but do love the world in the sense that we desire that they would repent and do as Yahweh commands and as Yahushua did. If we did not love them, we would not want them to repent

We should beware and not follow after the world. If we were to follow after the world, then we are in danger:

Revelation 13:3 - And I saw one of his heads as if it had been mortally wounded, and his deadly wound was healed. And all the world marveled and followed the beast.

Yes, we must beware! For the world will follow after the one who is prince of it.

The world will claim to give peace, but it does not:

John 14:27 - Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

1Thessalonians 5:3 - For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.

Isaiah 48:22 - There is no peace, saith YAHWEH, unto the wicked.

How can we know if we are following after the ways of the world?

Observe the things that the world does, and then examine our own lives. Are we doing as they do?

It is so easy to go along

And not so easy to turn away. For much of it is quite appealing to the flesh

Ask yourself, does this really benefit me spiritually?

Can I picture Yahushua doing this with me?

Consider "Time"

We can often know the true character and values of a person by observing how their time is spent

Let's consider and ask ourselves... How much time do we spend seeking and doing the things which do not give peace?

For instance, how much time do we spend on worldly entertainment or things of the world as opposed to things of the Spirit?

The world seeks their amusements

Everything has to be amusing, but what does 'amusement' mean?

To muse means to think

A- is the negative particle

A-muse - no thinking!

I've heard it said.. America is going to the lake of fire...

And their laughing all the way

(they're)

There are so many distractions from what is really important

Most read about movie stars, sports teams and players, musicians and politicians than they read about Yahweh

The scriptures collect dust while most people rot away in their easy chair

We should not let the world entangle us with its amusements, entertainments and things that do not profit!

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

James 4:5 - Or do you think that the Scripture says in vain, "The Spirit who dwells in us yearns jealously"?

Brethren, these things are bondage! Yahweh is jealous of all the time that "brethren" spend in worldly matters. Let's free ourselves of the double mind. Continuing in James...:

James 4:6 - But He gives more favour. Therefore He says: "YAHWEH resists the proud, but gives favour to the humble."

James 4:7 - Therefore submit to YAHWEH. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.

James 4:8 - Draw near to YAHWEH and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.

James 4:9 - Lament and mourn and weep! Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom.

Surely, the world has plenty of things to take our eyes off Yahweh. Perhaps now more so than at any time in history

There are loads of entertainment choices one can get caught up in. Television, movies, internet, sports, worldly music, the list goes on

I got a mailing from "Dr. James Dobson" today encouraging people to go visit this web site where they review all the movies out there and tell you which ones are okay to see

I kept asking out loud.. "Why do we need any of it?"

It's like an addiction out of control

People demand it

There is a huge assortment of distractions out there to cause people to stumble

But what should we be doing?

Focusing on the temporary things or the things that are eternal?

1John 2:15 - Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

1John 2:16 - For 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.

The things of the world, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the pride of life--- not of Yahweh at all!

They will not remain

1John 2:17 - And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of YAHWEH abides forever.

We should seek to abide forever, and seek the things that do abide forever.. lest we also pass away with it

We read in 2Peter/Kepha:

2Peter 2:1 - But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Redeemer who bought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction.

2Peter 2:2 - And many will follow their destructive ways, because of whom the way of truth will be blasphemed.

2Peter 2:3 - By covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words; for a long time their judgment has not been idle, and their destruction does not slumber.

2Peter 2:4 - For if YAHWEH did not spare the angels who sinned, but cast them down to hell and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved for judgment;

2Peter 2:5 - and did not spare the ancient world, but saved Noah, one of eight people, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood on the world of the wicked;

2Peter 2:6 - and turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes, condemned them to destruction, making them an example to those who afterward would live wickedly;

2Peter 2:7 - and delivered righteous Lot, who was oppressed by the filthy conduct of the wicked

2Peter 2:8 - (for that righteous man, dwelling among them, tormented his righteous soul from day to day by seeing and hearing their lawless deeds)--

2Peter 2:9 - then YAHWEH knows how to deliver the righteous out of temptations and to reserve the unjust under punishment for the day of judgment,

The very sight of these worldly things should torment/vex our souls.

Yahweh said:

Isaiah 33:10 - Now will I rise, saith YAHWEH; now will I be exalted; now will I lift up myself.

Isaiah 33:11 - Ye shall conceive chaff, ye shall bring forth stubble: your breath, as fire, shall devour you.

Isaiah 33:12 - And the people shall be as the burnings of lime: as thorns cut up shall they be burned in the fire.

Isaiah 33:13 - Hear, ye that are far off, what I have done; and, ye that are near, acknowledge my might.

Isaiah 33:14 - The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness hath surprised the hypocrites. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?

Isaiah 33:15 - He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands from holding of bribes, that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes from seeing evil;

Isaiah 33:16 - He shall dwell on high: his place of defence shall be the munitions of rocks: bread shall be given him; his waters shall be sure.

We should be shutting our eyes and stopping our ears to these things, that we might dwell with Yahweh, a consuming fire

Some years ago, Yahweh showed me that time spent not doing the work of Yahweh .. not doing things that build up the kingdom and not seeking His ways is wasted time.

For it yields no fruit

Heaps up no rewards

Stores no treasures

And often...

corrupts the mind

Brethren, this is such an awesome moment in history

Never before have the scriptures been so readily available.

As Daniel the Prophet wrote, knowledge has increased

In the "information age", wisdom can be found in His word

We can search the scriptures and go to the verse we want by a few simple keystrokes

In this country and in many countries throughout the world, there is the freedom to proclaim the good news to all nations

We must work the work given to us while it is day

For the night comes, when no man can work

While it is day, will we squander it all sitting in front of a television set, playing games, following sports, drinking the drink, spending excessive time at work trying to chase that dollar bill and other such foolishness?

Too often, all the while, the scriptures collect dust and our spiritual lives as well as the spiritual lives of our families suffer. Let it not be so!

Let's ask ourselves, what would Yahushua be doing in this age?

"Eat, drink, be entertained and be merry?"

I think not

We have an opportunity to seek and share the truth and good news of Yahushua Ha Mashiach.

Let's not squander the opportunities

Titus 2:11 - For the Favour of YAHWEH that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,

Titus 2:12 - Teaching us that, denying wickedness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and reverently, in the present age;

Titus 2:13 - Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great Elohim and our Saviour Yahushua ha Mashiach;

Titus 2:14 - Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.

If you really take a close look at it, it becomes evident that worldly things have a way of killing the zeal, setting aside the hope and marginalizing our reverence toward Yahweh!

But if we are redeemed, we will be peculiar..not like the world

We won't enjoy its customs of vanity, nor the revelry within them

For the Spirit within us will groan at the vanity of it all

Brethren, let's be zealous of good works, rather than works that do not profit.

If we are seeking to join the world in worldly things to win the world, we are making a big mistake

Christiainity makes that mistake often.. with its "christian" version of everything the world has to offer

Brethren, we will not win the world to Yahushua by imitating the world because Yahushua is coming to judge the world, and surely will have no part of it!

In truth, it is the world converting the believer when the believer does what the world does

Let's set the standard high, for it is time that the Torah/Law of Yahweh be lifted up as the standard that ALL men should live by!

And let those who seek to turn away from their sins and earthly pursuits be drawn to the truth, not a watered down worldly faith!

Let's live soberly in this present world. This is not a time to sit back every evening and be entertained or drink the drink, it is a time be sober and seek the will of Yahweh

Matthew 24:48 - But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My master delayeth his coming;

Matthew 24:49 - And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;

Matthew 24:50 - The master of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,

Matthew 24:51 - And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Believe it or not, I see this often

But not in a way you might think

Too often, I see brethren "eating/drinking with the drunken", that is, the false doctrine. Certain ones build huge doctrines around scriptural "theories" that cannot be proven

Partaking of its falsehood, then beating the brethren over the head with its falsehood

You see, times of prosperity can also be a time when spiritual drunkenness can occur by digging into all kinds of strange and false doctrines.

We must beware in this time of prosperity and fullness of bread. Idleness breeds sin and corruption

There are many false prophets (and misled brethren) teaching strange and outlandish doctrines and many are gone after them.

Ezekiel 16:49 - Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.

Idleness and fullness of bread are accurate descriptions of this age. Let not the sin of Sodom overtake us, but let's remain sober.. looking to the appearance of Yahushua the Messiah.. establishing our beliefs on the ROCK.. the undeniable Word of Yahweh

The Word of Yahweh will bring the faith we need to turn hearts toward Yahweh

And it will guide us into eternal life

Romans 10:17 - So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of YAHWEH.

The Word of Yahweh gives us the hearing..and the hearing gives us the faith

How much time do we spend in His word?

The common saying "I don't have time" is all too commonly just an excuse

I've met brethren who have been believers for decades and have yet to read throught the scriptures even once!

"I don't have time" really means "It's not a priority", for we all have the same amount of time in a day

What we do with our time determines so much

1John 4:1 - Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of YAHWEH; because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

1John 4:2 - By this you know the Spirit of YAHWEH: Every spirit that confesses that Yahushua the Messiah has come in the flesh is of YAHWEH,

1John 4:3 - and every spirit that does not confess that Yahushua the Messiah has come in the flesh is not of YAHWEH. And this is the spirit of the AntiMessiah, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world.

There are plenty of sheep being carried off by grievous wolves... anti-Yahushua and anti-NT teachers of foolishness

Those who follow after them do not know the Torah, nor the prophets

Let's not be ensnared by the false doctrines, rather let's overcome them through the Messiah who lives in us.

1John 4:4 - You are of YAHWEH, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.

1John 4:6 - We are of YAHWEH. He who knows YAHWEH hears us; he who is not of YAHWEH does not hear us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.

1John 4:5 - They are of the world. Therefore they speak as of the world, and the world hears them.

1John 4:6 - We are of YAHWEH. He who knows YAHWEH hears us; he who is not of YAHWEH does not hear us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.

I've noticed that in times of prosperity and plenty, the tendency is to sit back and enjoy things. A lot of problems in relationships tend to pop up at these times also.

Strife among brethren, and in the home

But if we were all in a time of tribulation and distress, we wouldn't get offended at the little things quite so easily

Having a visible, common enemy has a way of uniting people against its cause.

Brothers and sisters, I tell you the truth. There is a common enemy even now, but he is very subtle and deceptive! We need to unite against him! He wants to enter your home through any means he can.. through the TV, the Internet, a visitor, a friend, a relative, you name it

Beware of the choking effect

Matthew 13:8 - But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.

Matthew 13:18 - Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.

Matthew 13:19 - When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side.

Matthew 13:20 - But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it;

Matthew 13:21 - Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended.

Matthew 13:22 - He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful.

Let not the seed fall among thorns where the world chokes out the word! What a fitting description! The world simply chokes out the word of Yahweh! It need not take it away, it need only choke it out so that we are unfruitful!

But the thorns grow slowly around a person daily growing and growing until there is no room for anything else. Thus, one is just taking up the ground.

We must let the seed fall upon the good and right soil

Matthew 13:23 - But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.

For it is better to have never known the way of righteousness than to have known and then again be entangled with the world:

2Peter 2:20 - For if, after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Master and Savior Yahushua the Messiah, they are again entangled in them and overcome, the latter end is worse for them than the beginning.

2Peter 2:21 - For it would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than having known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered to them.

2Peter 2:22 - But it has happened to them according to the true proverb: "A dog returns to his own vomit," and, "a sow, having washed, to her wallowing in the mire."

Let's not be dogs, let's be Israelites indeed!

Let's be sure that we have removed the world from our lives and let's rather be a light to the world with a righteous example!

The word sown in us should overcome the world. It should bear fruit, drawing others away from the world by the light of Messiah in us. There needs to be a difference!

There needs to be brothers and sisters who are willing to be different. And I don't mean just different with the name, Sabbath and feasts, etc

There needs to be brothers and sisters who aren't wasting excessive time in worldly things.. but are working toward spiritual things

But how can we change the world if the world has already changed us?

How can we turn the world upside down if we have already been turned upside down by the world?

Brethren, we must be different, even at the risk of being hated:

John 15:18 - If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.

John 15:19 - If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.

John 15:20 - Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his master. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.

John 15:21 - But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me.

Don't be surprised if/when we receive such things

1John 3:1 - Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of YAHWEH! Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him.

1Corinthians 3:19 - For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with YAHWEH. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.

Getting caught up in the world was the mistake of Christianity when phasing Mithraism (Dec. 25th/Xmas) into their worship

They so desired to gain converts that they let the world change them, rather than them changing the world. They changed at the expense of cheapening and watering down the true faith

But brethren, the WORD should be before us and the WORLD should be far, far behind us.

There is no turning back!

Luke 9:62 - And Yahushua said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of YAHWEH.

Remember Lot's wife! There is no turning back. We need to move on in the Spirit! We need to set our affections on the things which are above, not the things which are beneath

Colossians 3:1 - If ye then be risen with the Messiah, seek those things which are above, where the Messiah sitteth on the right hand of YAHWEH.

Colossians 3:2 - Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.

Colossians 3:3 - For ye are dead, and your life is hid with the Messiah in YAHWEH.

Colossians 3:4 - When the Messiah, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.

Colossians 3:5 - Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:

Colossians 3:6 - For which things' sake the wrath of YAHWEH cometh on the children of disobedience:

Colossians 3:7 - In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them.

Colossians 3:8 - But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.

Colossians 3:9 - Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;

Colossians 3:10 - And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:

Colossians 3:11 - Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but the Messiah is all, and in all.

These things can all be difficult to overcome, but once we recognize that we want to rid ourselves of it, we can call on Yahweh to let Yahushua the Messiah overcome these things in us:

1John 4:4 - You are of YAHWEH, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.

These things can all be difficult to overcome, but once we recognize that we want to rid ourselves of it, we can call on Yahweh to let Yahushua the Messiah overcome these things in us:

John 16:32 - Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is now come, that ye shall be scattered, every man to his own, and shall leave me alone: and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.

John 16:33 - These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

Yahushua has overcome the world. He can overcome the world in us too, but we must be willing

Overcoming the world is necessary if we ever want to be among those who find and walk the narrow path.

Romans 12:1 - I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of YAHWEH, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto YAHWEH, which is your reasonable service.

Romans 12:2 - And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of YAHWEH.

Do we seek to know the truth of Yahweh? Consider the above scripture.

It is only when our mind is renewed that the transformation from the kingdom of darkness to the kingdom of light takes place.

It's hard to renew one's mind if it is continually and willingly filled with filth from the "satan box". Yet, some fill themselves with a dose of it every day! What does Yahweh think of this?

David walked within his house with a pure heart:

Psalms 101:1 - I will sing of mercy and judgment: unto thee, O YAHWEH, will I sing.

Psalms 101:2 - I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way. O when wilt thou come unto me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart.

Psalms 101:3 - I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me.

David knew that these things had a way of cleaving to a person.. remember the stain of the world and avoid it

We must have that renewed mind in order to prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of Yahweh!

Therefore, let's be sure that we have the right spirit feeding us and dwelling in us:

1Corinthians 2:12 - Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of Elohim; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of YAHWEH.

So brethren, we see what is right.

Now it is time to DO what is right in the sight of Yahweh our strength! Yahweh help us to do what is right in your eyes!?

Let's rid ourselves from any and all corruption from the world, today.. right now.. no time to waste!

Let's be "unspotted", unstained!

Let's renew ourselves to doing the work of Yahweh, seeking His ways

For when we do what is right, He will bring us the good land

When we truly give our lives to the One who can take us to the promised land, only then are we truly fulfilled

Yes, fulfilled and blessed to be inheritors of the true Kingdom that does not end, where we will reign with Yahweh forever and ever

At that time, the world will be ruled by Yahweh...and righteousness will reign

We know that He has already shown His love for us through the Messiah who gave up His own life for our sakes

Let's show our love for Him by dying to self and letting Him and His Spirit dwell in us..

NOT the spirit of the world.

May Yahweh bless you and may He have mercy on us all!
