WE DIED APRIL 3, 33 AD, PART 1

2 Timothy 3:12
12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.

The day I gave my life over to Yahusha, sitting in the vestry, I wanted to leave that church and never go back. I sat in the sacristy room, anxious as if the Father told Abraham to sacrifice his anointed seed Isaac; there is something truly spiritual taking place when you get baptized. When you give your life over to Yahusha, you’ve taken on the responsibility of walking through the Narrow Gate, bringing in as many souls to the body of Yahusha as possible; you're an evangelist. You walk accordingly or burn while they're reading your last will and testament to people who hated you. There will be a struggle to walk away from friends when they are doing wrong and you’re trying to maintain some spiritual stability in your life. You’ll take on responsibilities that will test your faith in Yahusha. You’ll feel as if you can’t walk right, talk right, do right, or act right in the presence of people. You will call on the Father many times and think He didn't hear or didn’t love you. Until September 1980. You'll struggle when they make a mockery of your faith. If you're chosen by the Father to do a work, expect to be alone to meditate on Him and the word the majority of the time. He'll fulfill His plan for you; be patient. Solomon gathered the bedrock of his divine wisdom from the Father by petition. He also gathered more by observing people in their daily walk. He wasn't judgmental; he was keen-eyed and attentive. You can learn a lot about human behavior just by observing and listening. The last thing you should do is live your life through others; you may become embittered or disenchanted. Living your life vicariously through others is life's way of saying you're not fulfilling your ambitions. You forgot how the Father blessed and gave us a coat of many colors to wear for every season: spiritual endowments, blessings, or gifts. Giving your life over to the Son of the Most High at the age of puberty can multiply your life burdens or journey. What Yahusha received was persecution, false accusations, and rebuke. If we want Yahushu's promise, we have to follow Him. {Mark 8:34 And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me}. You who want to walk in the ways of Yahusha will have to put up the good fight of faith, but faith alone or good works won't get you into heaven. According to the Spirit, He will help you in your time of trouble. Trying to live a pristine life can't garner perfection. Some people we think are living godly, fearful lives have more skeletons in their closets than a bunch of ambiguous, effeminate males living on New York’s Fire Island. It's by the Father’s grace that we have His Son’s salvation, which He offers to us fresh daily. He sent us His Son in an earth suit to represent Him in the flesh. You and I are not perfect. The only being who can perfect us before the Father is Yahusha. So why are we so quick to walk away from Him towards certain death? {James 1:13-15 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: 14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. 15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death}. Whoring after what our ancestors fell for after coming out of Egypt and then the wilderness can destroy us. The Canaanites fooled the children of the Exodus into believing they worshiped the same omnipotent being as the Yisraelites. NOPE. Yisrael is a chosen people, and the people of Canaan knew the Most High Father of the Yisraelites was to be feared. They swayed Yisrael's sons to wed their daughters and their sons wedded their daughters. The Father hated the Canaanites. They were wicked and immorally corrupt people who He knew would convince His glory (Yisrael) to walk away from His promise. Yahuah is jealous; He will have no other god before Him; none. Continue—
