Meditations on the book of Galatians

Monday, May 3, 2010

As one who has been called to pioneer a work on a number of fronts, I hear Paul combat the voices of critics. Oftentimes, criticism comes from those who could help, but have decided rather to use their words and their energy to hinder. Paul demonstrates his ability to look within and begin his letter -- He writes "I am an apostle and I write encouraged by all men who are really with me." The translator puts in parenthesis (not an apostle because men say so or with the help of men but with the help and through Yahshua Moschiach and Yah Abba who raised Yashua from the dead."

I write to you this day from this place. As I meditate and train, gather and restrain, punctuate, refill and refrain - I stretch to the place where my words to you are "Grace and peace to you. As an ambassador, a spokesman, a taught one and a man who has been asked to speak to you, I remind you that this Grace - which is the equivalent of whatever you need when you need it and Peace - a wholeness where you never experience or feel lack - nothing missing and nothing broken -- comes from Yah - Abba - YHWH beyond the senses -- invisible -- who gave us Yahshua -- YHWH the Son -- Ben -- YHWH for the senses -- visible -- for our sins, delivering us up and out of the world system, which is His will for us. He is doing it and we should take no credit for it.

In recent months and weeks, we have seen incredible progress and breakthrough. Connections are being made on all levels. Healings are taking place. Walkers are being left at the church. Blind eyes are being opened. Teenagers who could take only a few steps because of asthma are breathing freely and getting stronger. Households are coming into financial order through obedience to the instruction that continues to come... (Television opportunities for members of the network, small business loan centers will be set up across Harlem, PVN has become a central plank in a Congressional race, a charter school application has been set up to be housed in our location at 95 Leonard Street - which is being funded mostly by the congregation - a small congregation of strong believers - right in lower Manhattan -- ) And as I think of all these things, I meditate "I marvel that you are turning away from Him who called you in the grace of Christ to a different gospel, which is not another, but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ.

And as I meditate once again, I pull deeper within and ask YHWH to show me the team that He would have me to focus on. Show me the team that will perform and the team that will enjoy the process. Give me those who will execute instruction for Your purpose Yah. And give me the strength to move forward -- (I hear the instructions from 1 Sam. 30 as YHWH instructs me to Pursue, Overtake and Reco ver All.) 

I make known to you, those of you who are with me - my brothers - brethren - those who know Yahshua is Yah - that the good news that I proclaim is not according to man. I have not received this mandate or the full revelation from a human teacher, but it came through the revelation of Yahshua Moschiach. As Paul spent his early days -- and many years -- in Arabia -- seeking truth and strength -- I have spent those days building in lower Manhattan -- Peter and John were not with Paul -- Kenneth, Jerry and Clinton were not with me. And recently, I have been returning to my Damascus -- Yale University -- where I met YHWH --but also where -- in part I was blinded -- to have my eyes opened once again -- and it is from this place -- wide awake -- that I write to you. 

Beware of the traditions of men and the doctrines that will trick you and shackle you, once again. Our adversary continues to send those into the camp to speak against unity and brotherly love and against true support for the truth that is right -- as men will see only from their own bellies. "But from those who seemed to be something -- whatever they were, it makes no difference to me, God shows personal favoritism to no man-- for those who seemed to be something added nothing to me. But on the contrary they saw that the good news for the Non Jew - the uncircumcised -- those outside -- had been given to me. They gave me a good handshake and a little advice -- "Remember the poor." I, like Paul, am happy to do so. 

YHWH -- Yahweh -- is ... there is no one like Him. He is Ein Sof - the Source. He is Alef. He is the silence before the sound, the unseen before the seen, the unction before the thought - everywhere - everytime - everything - evergood - everlove - ever -- and His Son Yahshua is the sound that comes from the silence, the seen after the unseen, the thought that follows the unction -- the visible manifestation of the unseen and we handle Him every day when we handle the word, and as I write these thoughts -- I know that they will cause a separation... and I remind myself -- I didn't come into the world to make peace with the world system but to reconcile men back to the Father. I will separate you from your flesh as I continue to separate myself from mine -- I wish above all things that you prosper and be in health even as your soul prospers. Let this mind be in you... 

Yahshua is where my heart is -- He has paved the way for me and my friends are those who feel the same way. In fact, those who love Him and know Him and hear His voice are those that I can move forward with and break bread with. There are those that would fellowship as brothers with those who will not acknowledge Yahshua and I warn you that you are in danger of damaging your relationship by excluding Yahshua YHWH from your daily confession. This damaged relationship will cause you to compromise and end up falling short of your purposed destiny -- as designed by YHWH before the foundations of the world and paid for by Yahshua at the cross and during His three days in hell. 

Who is He? He is Yud, Heh, Vav, Heh and all the revelation that I can pull from that as I am still meditating this -- 11 years after Yahshua revealed it to me in the prisons of Duluth. Who am I? I am His -- and I bear His name and that is more than enough for me. Who are we? We, for me, are those who will fall in love with YHWH Yahshua -- Moschiach crucified -- living, suffering, dying, rising, reigning, interceeding, coming back, -- 

He is ... And He is ... I am blessed. 

This is my meditation... 

Ahava --
