Being a good steward

• So yesterday after a great morning in meditation with Yah, I went with my lovely wife to go get our first sonogram at the hospital, only to get the amazing news that WE’RE HAVING TWINS! HALELUYAH! YHWH blesses and provides! He honors the words and requests of His children. I am so humbly honored and impressed by Your Love, Abba. I will do my very best to never limit You, and I will be a steward in Your likeness over all that You have given me. First and foremost, I will be a good steward of Your Word.


• Today the 5th Proverb clearly stirs up the conviction to HEAR and DO from the RIGHT place. There are many false voices, set upon seducing the flesh into carrying the body off the course of the path laid before a Righteous Spirit. Selah. I have a renewed unction to know and follow after the Voice of My Master. This means all parts of His Nature. Father (Invisible Yah, Provider, COMPLETE/PERFECT LOVE, The Tempo Setter, The Beginning and End, The Good One), Son (Visible Yah; Word of Yah in physical, active context; The Example Setter; The Redeemer; The Forgiver: Victory; Deliverer; Healer; Salvation), Set Apart Spirit (Empowering Yah, Comforting Yah, Consuming Yah, Directing Yah, Yah's Breath, Yah's incarnate Courage, Purging Yah).
o I MUST completely stay steer clear of the seductive ways of the world that promise immediate and fleeting gratification. The way to do so is simply by steering my desire towards the Word and desire of Yah. To crave His Word is to crave Righteousness, which will provide the proper path to walk. The next responsibility is to receive and guard the Wisdom in His Word, while obeying the direction of His Instruction, in order to come into an understanding that causes you to birth the knowledge of Yah that will anchor You in His Righteousness. Selah

Luke 7:1

Proclaiming AND Bringing… Two different things that ought to be together. We have a call we can’t ignore, to bring the Good News of the reign of Elohim to the world. The power of this call is completely contingent upon one’s ability to hear AND believe (receive AND activate). This means that there is a heightened type of hearing that must take place. A hearing that connects and creates an irrigation system between Yah and the heart of man. Through this elevated hearing, one receives the belief to truly equip the inner man to direct- and hence resurrect- the flesh. There is a reason why Yahshua didn't simply state, but “CRIED," "He who has ears to hear, let him hear.” Clearly the possession of ears does not guarantee hearing. Clearly there are different types of ears, and some types don’t hear Truth, and therefore don’t receive the Wisdom, Life, and Way of Truly Empowered FREEDOM.

Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of Yah, but not everyone who hears the Word of Yah, believes- or "receives Faith." Yahshua demonstrates this in the parable of the sower, as he explains the seed…

Luke 7:11-18
The seed is the Word of Elohim. The seed by the wayside are the ones who hear, then the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, lest having believed, they should be saved. This is so crucial to understand that hearing the Word is but a beginning step in a larger responsibility. 
As the Word is a seed, you must do more than throw the seeds in a drawer somewhere. You must nurture that seed properly, in fertile ground in order for the seed to grow roots in your heart, and grow into a Tree of Life, spoken through your lips, bearing fruit that bears fruit in/thru the Life you live. If you fail to gain an understanding of the Word spoken into you- by way of a disciplined obedience to the Instructions accompanying the Word- then you will miss out on the safety of knowing what/who dwells in you, and the Word in your heart will remain exposed and susceptible to theft by an enemy of the Life contained therein- or even the natural threat of the elements around you.
The Word, in itself, is NOT supposed to JUST bring joy. Given that you have two natures (flesh and Spirit), the Word ought to cause a little tension when you receive it. If you only feel joy after receiving a Word, then you probably failed to behold a conviction intended to create an increase in Your Spirit, that would inevitably result in the expressed enmity of your flesh. Should you only cling to the “joy” element in the Word, you will prevent your Word from taking root in your heart in a way that can stand in the face of adversity. In essence, with regards to a Word received solely with joy, when the going gets tough, the Word will be the first thing you let go of as you attempt to bare the “toughness” in a lesser strength.
Furthermore, it’s important to recognize that it is indeed possible to hear a Word, receive a Word, and use that Word to produce in your life, yet still be out of order. Although the Word is inherently perfect in itself, never lose sight of the fact that you must allow the Word to perfect you, and not attempt to manipulate the Word in an attempt to perfect your ideas. I hear brother Obie McKenzie sharing one of the key discoveries of his life’s testimony, “It’s not about me.” This idea is the difference between biting into a sweet, colorful, ripe piece of fruit, versus biting into a sour, bitter, perhaps still colorful piece of fruit. It’s not enough to rest on the fact that you were able to bear fruit. You must bring the fruit of the seed/Word in your heart, to PERFECTION! Otherwise, you will be supernaturally overwhelmed by the fruit, that you managed to engineer from the Word you received.

Typically the effect will be that you will probably be so excited to have a piece of some supernatural fruit, yet lacking the proper knowledge of that fruit, you will not be available to receive a perfectly measured amount of compassion with which to properly tend to the fruit or carry yourself, such that you are doing the right things at the right time in order to work out the perfection of the fruit- which can only be accomplished through the honestly, and COMPLETELY pursued perfection by the steward of the seed. You will either be consumed by worry, not knowing without a shadow of a doubt that your Seed is Safe. Otherwise, you will get consumed by the benefits of your fruit to the point where you lose sight of the True purpose of your Fruit- which is not just about you.
This entire process has everything to do with HOW one hears. The way one hears ultimately determines what he possesses, and how he tends to that, which he possesses. The amount that one possesses, and the responsibility with which one tends to his possession will determine whether he/she gets more to possess, or is dispossessed.

A double portion requires a doubled commitment to the perfection of the portion received. The perfection of the portion is impossible to attain without the perfection of the person tending to the Seed(s), the portion. Will you be made whole today? Yes! I say humbly, yet with great excitement, knowing that my perfection is, and never will be, simply about me. The process of being perfected is certainly not a process, that falls within my pay grade, and the perfection itself is not something I’m equipped to yield by my own wit, strength, or design. I have received grace for times of need, but only because I’ve chosen to believe in One, who frees me from the guilt, shame, worry, and fear that would cause me to identify myself by the worst parts of myself, that would completely disqualify me from being able to approach and stand in the presence of the pure Love of the One who sits on that Throne of Grace. I ALWAYS need His Grace! Because I have heard, received, and tended to the Word, spoken into me by One who truly believes in me, and Loves me enough to want to enter into an unbreakable covenant with me, I am able to believe. By this belief, I am given access to Love, and by this Love, I Am. Because I Am, I sow… Because I sow, I reap… Because I reap, I have more to sow… and sow on… and reap on… and sow on… and so on… and so on… ☺
