Countdown To Pentecost (7 Days): God’s Will. God’s Power. God’s Ways. How Do We “Figure It Out?”5/24/2020 Good Morning Sunday...
Father, thank you for this NEW DAY. Please impart in our hearts YOUR WILL. We ask for Patience, Kindness, Humility, and Truth so we may show You and Your Son's Light in this fallen world. In Yeshua, JESUS CHRIST's Name we pray. Amen. Being that Pentecost, AKA Shavuot, Aka The Feast of Weeks, is only 7 days away, today let’s talk about The Almighty Spirit of Our Father and Yeshua, Aka The Ruach Ha’Kodesh (The Holy Breath of God), Aka The Holy Spirit. Have a great week my Brothers and Sisters and May Our Father Bless you, and all your families,... Mightily! - God's Will. God’s Power. God’s Ways. How Do We "Figure It Out?" We all want nothing less than God's Will for us. In this lifetime of discovery and of learning “The Way” of Our Father, how do we discover His Will for our lives? What does the process look like? If we are to answer these questions, and answer them correctly, we have to be established in His Word before our answer is understood. We must have God Our Father and Jesus Christ in the forefront of our minds... and our hearts. In other words The Head must lead The Body. Once we understand The Head, then we can know where The Body should go. How do we understand The Head? Well, first we must understand Who The Head Is: “But I want you to know that The Head of every man is Christ...” I Corinthians 11:3 Yeshua, Jesus Christ, is The Head. So, we need to know The Head and the place we have to readily access Him is in God's Word. In fact, God's Word is Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ Is The Word Made Flesh (John 1:14). The bottom line of knowing how to identify God's Will for each of us is To Believe in The Head Aka God's Word Aka Yeshua Jesus Christ, and Trust In His Truth... The Truth. “My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand. My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father’s hand. I and My Father are one.” John 10:27-30 One thing we can know for sure about Our Father's Will... His Power Always Comes With It. We naturally understand there is a connection between Our Father's Power and His Will, and this is part of the reason we yearn to know His Will. We can feel it in our bones that if we can know His Will and what He Wants Us To Do, He Will Supply All The Love, Strength, Joy, Peace, Boldness, Humility, and Mercy we need in any situation. I would have to say: I believe this "feeling in our bones" is correct. If we make the decision to follow in His Ways, I have no doubt that we will experience Our Father's Mighty and Powerful Hand In All That We Do. This isn't to say that we won't, at some point, grow weary or discouraged, but if we know we are operating in His Will... we can Call On Him, Depend On Him, And Be Certain His Power Is There. Our Father's Will Always Possesses His Power. In fact, His Will and His Power Are As Inseparable As The Father And The Son. Yeshua, Jesus Christ said: “I and My Father are one.” John 10:30 This Truth, that Our Father's Power is accompanied by His Will, can remove fear of “not hearing” from Him and can make our obedience to Him and His Will an opportunity to Trust Our Father instead of Trying Our Father. I am sure none of us have to look too far into our past, or present, to find where we have tried Him in some way. If you have come into a relationship with Yeshua, Jesus Christ, Our Father's One and Only Son, then the Ruach Ha'Kodesh (Breath of God), AKA His Holy Spirit, dwells with you. The Holy Spirit is the very Power of God. Think about that one for a minute... pretty flattering and humbling right? Our Father Gives Himself For Us. He Allows The Spirit Of The Creator Of All Things, Himself, To Dwell In little ol us... The Body Of Christ. Our job as believers in The One True and Living God is to place our trust in the Power of Our Father's Holy Spirit. A Good, Righteous, Loving, Merciful, Kind, and Honest Spirit. The Only Spirit We Can Trust. If we spend most of our time trying to "figure out" His Plan on our own...I think we will be pretty disappointed. His Word Tells Us: “For My Thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My Ways,” says The LORD (YHWH, Yahweh). “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My Ways higher than your ways, And My Thoughts than your thoughts.” Isaiah 55:8-9 Our Savior Does Tell Us A Little Later In His-Story: “However, when He, The Spirit of Truth, has come, He will guide you into all Truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come. He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you. All things that the Father has are Mine. Therefore I said that He will take of Mine and declare it to you.” John 16:13-15 There is absolutely no reason we should be trying to "figure out" Our Father's Will on our own. It makes no sense to try and incorporate His Plan on our own. What shall we do, try to implement His Will by our own strength and then wait until God's Judgement to see if He is pleased?... of course not. We have a Greater Power dwelling within us than that which is ours. We only need tap into His Ways to access that Greater Power...Which Is His Holy Spirit. It seems we as believers must: Listen, Release Control, and Be Aligned With God's Word So That His Power May Work Through Us. Our Father's Power Is What Guides Us To The Journey He Has Called Us To. Wherever it is we are headed, the Power is not ours (thank goodness, can you imagine how we would abuse it?), It Is God's Alone. The Spirit of God, Our Father, Is What Guides Us Along. “I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My Statutes, and you will keep My Judgments and do them.” Ezekiel 36:26-27 “Him (Jesus Christ, The Head) we preach, warning every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus. To this end I also labor, striving according to His working which works in me mightily.” Colossians 1:28-29 “I find then a law, that evil is present with me, the one who wills to do good. For I delight in The Law (Instructions) of God according to the inward man.” Romans 7:21-22 Prayer: Dear Father, help us to Trust In You. Guide us along with Your Holy Spirit. Speak To Us With Your Word. And Give Us The Peace To Know You Are Pleased With Us. Father, we yearn to know Your Will For Our Lives. Help Us To Find Your Will and to operate within Your Will. Help Us To Have The Change Of Heart We Need To Trust, Listen, Release Control, and Be Aligned With Your Word. Bless You. Thank You. We ask these things in The Name Above All Names Yeshua, Jesus Christ, The King. Amen.

Teacher I've never celebrated the FEAST OF WEEKS...I want to celebrate it this year. Where do I learn what I need to observe during this feast? Is the Church open that you attend? If so may I go to this Church as your guest?
