AM I A JUDAS?

The 'revelations' have been flying.  Things have been revealed to me in such a way that I feel like they are fireworks being lit and explode deep inside me.  It is not so much a feeling of joy and wonderment, but more of a 'lightening up' of the truth, so that I can see.  

My husband and I were reading through the gospel of Mark.  As I sat and read about the betrayal of Messiah, by Judas, I stopped and pondered.  Had I thought about this before?  Although we strive to be like Messiah, are we really more like Judas?  Of course, we would all refute the idea that we could betray the one who died so that we could live, but what is 'betrayal'?

How many times have we sold out for thirty pieces?  I think of all the times that I have done something that I have later felt regret. For example, the young girl at the cash desk told me that she had been very sick, and required a blood transfusion.  She felt a lot better now, but she had been very ill.  I sympathised.  I failed to lay hands on her and demand she be healed.  Why?  There were several reasons.  Firstly, this has not been common practice with me. Secondly, there was a queue and I did not want to cause a disturbance.  Thirdly.....why am I going on.  The second excuse is outrageous.  Isn't that what we are supposed to do?  Cause a disturbance?  At least in the way that it will show everyone that I am healing in the name of Messiah; I am healing with the power that has been invested within me.  When I left, she was talking to someone at the cash desk, and I demanded, "Be well!"  Was that enough?  

The point is that I did not do what was required of me, and therefore, I sold out.  No matter the circumstances, I did not do what I had been commanded to do.  I am not talking about waiting to hear from the Spirit whether it is the right time, I am talking about what we have been called to do, at all times!  

Each time we do not do the Will of The Father, or fail to do what we have been called to do, we are basically selling out!  

This has been rather a powerful 'revelation'.  Elohim has not foresaken me, nor does he not love me.  Instead, he was probably disappointed.  All sin is sin.  To that, I still subscribe!  Am I being too hard on myself?  I do not think so, but then again, I do not think I can be hard enough on myself when I am not doing the Will of The Father.

Each time we 'go our own way', we are acting in the same way as Judas.  We want what we want, and we are going to get it.  Yes, he gives us the desires of our heart, but they should be in line with His Will.

AND THERE WAS LIGHT!

Genesis 1:3 And Elohim said, Let there be light: and there was light.

The world was created by words.  Elohim spoke, and it was.  Now, consider this. We are filled with the Holy Spirit; the Spirit of Elohim resides within us. Therefore, what we speak, is!  

Matthew 17:20 And Yehushua said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.

Once we realise that we can speak things into existence, we need to be very careful what we say.

"It'll kill you"; "You will catch a cold"; "You will need to take medicine forever". We say so much that we do not think about.  

Elohim made a covenant with Messiah.  Messiah destroyed the works of the devil so that they are no more.  If we have the authority to cast out demons, and heal the sick, then we also have the authority to invite something that should not be.

It is imperative that we renew our minds, and resist saying things that will cause harm, or that are just simply negative.

Of course, IAUE is always in charge.  There is no disputing that.  However, if we allow the enemy a foot in the door, then we have invited him in!  

Thought for the day.  Think before you speak.  You could create a world!

A NEW DAWN

The reason for the 'drought' has been two-fold.  Firstly, I have not felt compelled to write anything, and secondly, (perhaps giving reason to the first) is because I have been studying and learning, and growing.   I have started to look on my faith in a new light, following teachings from Charismatic preachers, and those who have a very 'outside the box' way of preaching, and teaching.

Suffice it to say, I believe I may be 'back on track', albeit going in a slightly different direction.  Perhaps, not so much in a different direction, but moreso in a forward direction, rather than a circle.

I hope to add, daily.  However, this depends upon the Holy Spirit and what He allows me to impart.  

Today, I am not going to write for hours, but say something that has changed my whole way of thinking.  Messiah died for us, and for all our sins.  He came to destroy the works of the devil, which he did.  Consider this.  Sickness, disease, corruption and all evil (or bad) things, are the works of the devil, and they have been conquered.  They have been destroyed.  I have renewed my mind into believing that Messiah destroyed all.  Therefore, I cannot get sick, because sickness is the work of the devil, which has been destroyed. 

As a sidenote, I would add that I have ailments.  I have suffered, in the past, from arthritis in my fingers.  They are crooked.  However, I had spoken to them and told them that they are healed, through the blood of Messiah.  It is, however, easier to stop 'new' things from happening, like dismissing a cold, or a trapped nerve, toothache, anything like that.  I can renew my mind to new ailments, but have to see the picture of healing on the inside for the old.  You cannot just say 'go', and hope.  You have to truly believe it is gone.  It may take time.  I do not get the pain anymore because I believe it has gone, but my husband, who has been walking in faith longer than me, who has high blood pressure, believes that he is cured (because it no longer exists) but the numbers tell him differently.  He knows that he needs to renew his mind to dismiss the numbers.  It may take time.  It shouldn't, but we rely on our five senses so much, what our eyes tell us, we tend to believe.  This is sin, but we are human!

Having said all of this, I find myself talking to Messiah at the stake, and thinking of the worst possible pain I have ever suffered, and understanding that He took this all on, whilst impaled.  Why did He die, and take all this on, if I am going to suffer from the works of the devil?  Elohim does not bring sickness and disease.  He has not done so since the resurrection.   Imagine the worst pain you have every suffered, then imagine how much worse it was for Messiah when he took on the impurities, every disease, ailment, unpure, evil thing, and then, he destroyed it.  Rebuke that pain! Rebuke that illness.  It is phoney!

Remember, the world was created by the WORD of Elohim. He said, and it was.  Messiah had that authority.  He said and it was (or was not!).  We have the spirit of Messiah within us.  We can say and it will be!  On the other hand, remember, when we speak negatively, that is also the WORD that will or will not make things happen.  I shall expound on what I have learned in more detail in my next post.

Be blessed
