Even still, it is good for these messages to be provided as they have—for when it comes time to learn they will be readily available. A hardworking, patient servant must continue to build the ark until it is ready to conquer the upcoming floods.

My hope in this pursuit is to see the Father’s children safe from the storms. He has commanded his chosen ones to stand in the gap for weaker vessels, visiting and comforting the poor during times of duress and uncertainty. Such a responsibility is not always rewarding—yet we do what we are told. Such an order is not to taken lightly.

Yes, it has been hard pressing forward—yet it is worth it.

Have pondered about Abraham who left his country for an inherited land… as well as former ancestors who made the difficult (yet necessary) decision to bring their family to a newly-formed nation. Leaving the familiar for the unfamiliar came with a cost—and oftentimes the benefits were are not clearly visible. What trust it took to be taken away from their native place!

Is this person ready to make such a choice? Every so often a generation will enact it—although is this the right one? Perhaps.

Some of you reading this might be in a similar dilemma. Before any conclusion is made, ask the Father of what he desires. For some, he might ask to move… for others, he might ask to stay. It is much more important to be led by his guidance than our own.

Regardless of what happens, am thankful the Father has provided an understanding of what crossing over really means—that’s why Abraham is called the “Hebrew”.

Such absorption has taught this person how selfishness and anxiety towards particular authorities can greatly control our responses.     Many become prey to pompous personalities, boisterous voices, and social brandings.  By allowing carnivalesque behavior to overwhelm the enforcement of truth, a vast crowd promotes a fear towards men instead of the Father.

While a handful sincerely desires to follow the King of Kings, external pressures prevent His reign from progressing from their hands.   Further light would manifest if His ways became their prime objective.

Hopefully this realization will be learned… especially at this particular time of Shavuot.  Although this should be a time of joyous celebration, this person doesn’t see much barley.

It’s rather difficult to present such words, yet is necessarily to provide.

The difficulty in following the Father’s lead has been daunting—yet if this soul is to be brought to its rightful place it must learn to let go. A dislocated leg, if not fitted back into place, will promote a permanent damage in its walk. A dislocated world we have inherited—in order to return to The Promise Land, we must mend our walking.

Abraham was a wanderer although eventually found his promised inheritance. Without his trust in the Father nothing would have been granted! In fact, most today would consider his commitment insane—who would be willing to sacrifice their prized son for the Father?

Yet… if the Father himself did not sacrifice his own begotten, would we have been given the ability for atonement?

Trust requires an awe-determined strength to press forward. This is not the strength of muscle or mind, yet of higher motive. Let us pray daily for the Father to provide such.

1. Be strong and be shown as a man (similar statement to Job upon the Father’s visitation)
2. Follow what was written in Psalms 119 (guard the Father’s ways, statutes, commandments, judgments, and testimonies as written in the Torah)
3. Punish Joab (a successful, yet rash commander who shed blood at a time in peace)
4. Reward Barzillai’s sons (a generous man who showed loyalty at a time of insurrection)
5. Punish Shimei (an opportunist who cursed David at a time of distress)

 
It was not difficult for Solomon to understand his father’s requests given what is shared in 1st and 2nd Samuel—the difficultly lied in the strategic performance required to accomplish these requests. Steadfastness was especially needed for the punishments!

Wisdom, to be reputable, requires firm enactment. Many of the Father’s servants know the wrongs being committed by evil doers… yet how many have the unwavering strength to respond? Notice in Solomon’s case he was asked to follow the Father’s ways (Psalms 119). Obedience requires action in deed—not lip service.

This instance, among countless others, should help us further discern what scripture is about—and although generations have passed in time there is still unfinished business to settle.

Let us ask the Father to strengthen our resolve!

Servants in scripture took a back seat when needed—be it Elijah (Eliyahu), Jeremiah (Yirmiyahu), or John the Baptist (Yohanan the Immerser). Situations did arise when they were placed in the forefront, yet oftentimes the role was well-reversed. Many were ignored and scorned when such responses were publicly allowed.

It should also be noted the current admiration of such forefathers—this does not equate with what was displayed during their lifetimes. Many were appreciated only when the wisdom shared was understood later on.

It is also easier to promote these called-out ones when they are not around to criticize!

Making a scene is not necessarily the role of a chosen person—it is to establish The Father’s ways when deemed appropriate. Those who flaunt their activity of His commandments often forget this. Instead of focusing on the attention spans of others, it is wholesome to walk according to the direction The Father sees fit—regardless of where the spotlight goes.

Let not our actions be misunderstood. It is The Father’s time to shine!

Why have so many thrown away higher values for inferior valuables? Popularity, for instance, holds greater demand today than even basic intrinsic motives. A strong commonality now resides over holiness… in turn, a depressed people have been enclosed within a vulgar, wasteful pit of pride and opinion.

Living an uncommon, virtuous lifestyle was expected by the Levitical priesthood in order to keep the Israelite camp clean. If sin was found within the Holy Place the entire nation would suffer! The Israelites themselves also had expectations of righteousness—the world would be blessed or cursed depending on their steadfastness to the Covenant.

Yes, there are moments external feedback can be useful—yet not to manipulate our moral compass. If society is indeed pompous enough to entangle itself in strange and vain exploitations, it should not be surprised when encompassed about by external foes.

Similar to ancient times, this nation will rise or fall based on its commitment.

Where do we both go from here? Although the journey can lead to further challenges, have found a great peace in walking forward this time around. There is a thriving trust and realization of His ways. His directive is more noticeable, more practical with each passing step.

We may not always live in the best of circumstances—yet be careful in how it is interpreted. Distresses abound to try the hearts of those willing to follow the narrow path. A long, rigorous road can tame wild beasts and detoxify heavy sludge. Be encouraged to stay the course and carry onward!

Success must be granted in the proper manner. Allow the spirit to be purified in the furnace—only then will the sword be ready for battle.

Be blessed.

A key understanding was discovered as to why this person has been so adamant about connecting the prophets and judges in scripture with the Jedi in Star Wars. The fact so many “Fatherless” non-believers (those who deny the Father’s existence) have followed this myth is not a coincidence—it is a family search for the father figure within a plethora of fallen, unhealthy fathers.

The most haunting curse of current civilization is the fact many youthful people today do not know their father. Many fathers today are either absent, immature, or unresponsive… with some removed entirely from the family structure altogether. This curse has brought insurmountable-type consequences.

With that said, this formidable mountain is not insurmountable! The battlefield is clear—the Father has called me to reveal His ways to those who earnestly seek him. It must be shown to the world that without Him we are lost and confused… and that with Him we are found and accepted.

Join me in this quest to share the Father to those who desperately need him.

May the Father be with us all!

Consider the glassed tanks we have intentionally placed ourselves in—these great, obtrusive walls filled with undignified comforts and controlled stabilities. Are we truly content within these assorted, rectangular conveniences?

Such constructs may bring immediate rewards… yet eventually fill hearts with shards of transgression. Engulfed by excessive bickering and lewdness, life’s perseverance can dwindle down to a hoarse, pretentious expression, stirring its participant towards further shame and torment. Hustlers, finding crude opportunities to weaken competition, inconspicuously prepare themselves against tamer, more-conditioned occupants.

We do not have to live in this manner. If we take the initiative to grow outside of such convoluted prisons, we can, indeed, thrive.

The Father created us to grow and experience meaningful, maturing lives. Maturation, though, requires challenges to be performed—not small, de-oxidized tanks depending on artificial pumps and flaked foods. A much larger, organic world is being reserved!

How much larger reality is for the Father in heaven. When grafted into his kingdom, we are given the keys to experience an infinite (and intimate) relationship with him. We are warranted a life of love which never dwindles, being free from corrupt, adulterated lifestyles.

How can we say no to such a promise?

Do not settle for small-minded, societal aquariums. Call upon the Father… and expand beyond.
