Shalom all,
Tonight I am savoring this passage:
Jud 1:24 Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,
Jud 1:25 To the only wise Elohim our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amein.
Sometimes in our walk, striving to enter in through the narrow gate we busy ourselves striving to do this alone. We desire to walk exactly as our Master walked and so we should! However YHWH showed me today that we are NOT to be walking alone and often sadly we try to do so. YHWH directed me to this passage and it greatly comforted me. To HIM who is able to keep you from falling. HE is able! Able to keep me from falling! YHWH then reminded me of this passage:
Luk 22:31 And the Master said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat:
Luk 22:32 But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.
What if Yahushua had NOT prayed for Kepha? We need not spend time there, rather, do you see with me that Yahushua told Kepha that HE prayed for him, that his faith fail not? Oh HalleluYAH!!
It is a much needed reminder for me today, to realize that had it been all about "me" than there would be no need for the workings of Ha Ruach Kodesh in me. Oy! I thank YHWH today more than ever for HIS Spirit at work in me, for Yahushua who is able to keep me from falling, who like we read the other night has prayed for us already! Thank YOU YHWH!!
Another awesome quote: a beautiful portion of a prayer:
Eph 1:17 That the Elohim of our Master Yahushua ha Moshiach, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:
Eph 1:18 The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,
Eph 1:19 And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,
Eph 1:20 Which he wrought in Messiah, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,
Oh May the Elohim of our Master Yahushua, YHWH the Father of glory, give unto each of us, the spirit of wisdom......AND revelation in the knowledge of HIM, may HE open our spirtual eyes to know the hope of HIS calling, the riches of the glory of His inheritance.....and that we might know the greatness of HIS power, to those who believe according to the working of HIS mighty power. What was that working? HE, YHWH raised up Yahushua from the dead, and set Him at His own right hand! As we strive to walk with Yahushua, in HIS footsteps, may we come to have the fulness of the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him and that only comes through the Elohim of our Master Yahushua, YHWH! May he give us each this wisdom and understanding as we submit to HIM, walking humbly even as our Master Yahushua did.
May we always lean on Yahushua, remembering that HE is able to keep us from falling, but we need to be with HIM!
Pro 3:5 Trust in YHWH with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
Pro 3:6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
Pro 3:7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear YHWH, and depart from evil.
I read a quote today that fits with this: Holiness isn't measured by the distance you keep from the world and it's ways ... it's measured by your nearness to YHWH" How near are we walking with HIM? Is HE directing our paths?
