IF NOT US, YISRAEL, WHO? PART 3
Many want to continue walking in iniquity instead of the truth. {1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness}.
1 Corinthians 2:1-5
2 And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God.
2 For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.
3 And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.
4 And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:
5 That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
That's humbling. Neither you, my bishop, nor I have knowledge of the spiritual gifts from our youth since 1980 that will hamper the enemy's attack against the body of Yahusha; that’s everyone who’s given their body and soul over to the Messiah, and yes, those who seek Him. People wait for a miracle on 42nd Street to pop up in their living room where the Christmas tree stands. Yisrael would rather continue practicing tradition instead of the Father’s truth. It says in the book of {Daniel 2:21-23 And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding: 22 He revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him. 23 I thank thee, and praise thee, O thou God of my fathers, who hast given me wisdom and might, and hast made known unto me now what we desired of thee: for thou hast now made known unto us the king's matter}. You can read {Daniel 7:25} that tells you what the Antichrist will do, which is similar to {Daniel 2:21-23}. They have different spirits, making them polar opposites. Truth over tradition, your choice. {Daniel 2:21-23} Quote: “And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding. He setteth up kings,” unquote. Who do you think Daniel was speaking of? It isn't just Yisrael. Didn't the Most High make Nebuchadnezzar a king, a gentile who made Yisrael his slaves in Babylon then humbled him? Did he not make Saul, a terrible, tyrant king over Yisrael, and have him die in battle? Or how about Ramses II? Do you think it was by chance that Ramses the first died so his son, who was worse than he, could rule over Egypt in order for Yahuah to be glorified throughout the earth, putting fear in all of Yisrael's enemies? The Father works in mysterious ways that we cannot determine. You have a calling to do the Most High's work in the Kingdom. Whether great or small, it is of great significance to the Father. Never underestimate your calling. If you don't know what it is and you seek one or several, be careful what you pray 🙏🏽 for. The Father will never overwhelm or burden you with more than you can deal with, in essence. {2 Corinthians 12:9-10 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong}. You will endure for His purpose, and He'll reward you, not award you, for the work done in His name. Everyone must understand, the Father doesn't need you or me for any of this. Yahusha told the Pharisees. {Luke 19:37-40 And when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen; 38 Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest. 39 And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples. 40 And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out}. What else does the Bible say? {John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God}. Yahushu's with Him; he doesn't need you or me. He created man for His glory, and that glory is the Father and Yahusha, who share it with their faithful. Does he hate the gentile? No. Continue—
