!!! YES !!!

Basically, I believe that it all comes down to one thing and one thing only, accepting the gift of Christ, the gift of life that has already been paid for.  All that we can do is say yes to HIm, yes to the gift, yes to love.  2 Cor 1:20 basically says that He is our Yes and our Amen…so when we receive Christ and Him crucified, we are receiving all of the promises of God.  When He lives in us, we are full of Yes, and all we have to do to experience the fullness of God is to say Yes…let Him out, speak and confess (coming into agreement with) God’s Word.  That’s what faith is, denying self (that is what I can do or achieve or earn according to the world), and pressing in by saying Yes to God, and how He sees you through Christ.  It really is this simple…say Yes to God, to His fullness.  Ask in faith.  The Word says that it has already been done, all of the promises of God are handed to me in Christ, in our Yes.  God calls us righteous, not of ourselves, but even of the righteousness of God himself when we are in Christ Jesus, and He is in us.  Ask, seek, knock…He will answer…His answer is Yes when we ask according to His will.  What is His will?  That all would be saved, that He would pour out His Spirit on all flesh, that we would know Him and that He would be our God.  We must believe, have faith in order to draw near to God…we must know that He is and that He is a rewarder to those who seek Him.  He rewards you with Himself.  We are created for relationship with Him, for intimacy with Him.  The way of the world, the way of the flesh says that this cannot happen, says that we have to earn it, says all kinds of stuff.  What does God say?  Come!  Ask and receive, seek and find, knock and I will answer.  Believing is receiving!

YAHuwah, I pray that you would make sense of all of this.  We ask for an understanding of your promises, of who you are.  Please reveal yourself to us.  I pray that you would give us a yearning, a burning, a hunger and thirst for your righteousness, an insatiable hunger for You, ever increasing.  Pour out your Spirit upon us, fill us with YES!  Fill us with power, a faith in your Word that is unshakable, undeniable, child-like faith, huge, world changing faith.  Your are a big God, and we want to experience fullness in you.  I ask and speak these things in the name of your Son, YAHushua.  I ask for supernatural, divine encounters with you that would radically change our lives.  Thank you YAHushua.  Thank you YAH!  Praise your name, HalleluYAH!!!!

Seek HIm!  Don’t settle for what any man might try to pass off to you, but go directly to YAH!  That’s what Christ paid for, was for you to have the ability to go before the throne yourself.  Lay yourself down, pick up your Cross, and run after HIm.  The Holy Spirit is your Helper, Teacher, Comforter, and Friend.  He will never forsake you.  Let out the Yes that has been placed inside of you and watch as the world around you begins to transform.  Seek first His kingdom, the kingdom of Heaven, as you are seated in heavenly places, and are to live out of that reality as a son and co-heir to the throne, take on, meditate, and enter the kingdom through His righteousness, righteousness that comes by faith in the Living Son of the Almighty YAHuwah. HalleluYAH!!!

Get Your Own

Posted in Revies with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on Saturday, February 21, 2009 by crazychristcraver

Last night I was kind of struggling. I was wanting more of God, and was becoming a little frustrated. I want to be overwhelmed in His presence, to be intimate with Him. I only want more of Him. I even began to be jealous of others’ relationships with God. But as I sat there on the computer, a new friend of mine instant messaged me on facebook. He was going through something similar, and asked if I would pray for/with Him. I was stoked at the opportunity to pray, as it’s like my favorite thing to do, and then God began to show me something. I was, we were, seeking after someone else’s revelation and relationship. God showed us that we need to have our own, and allow Him to reveal Himself to us as He wants to, not as I dictate to Him. This is not a new revelation for me, just one that I had lost sight of. It is so important that we go to the Father without preconceptions, or rather restrictions, of how we think God should act and make us feel.

We can know that in Him is love and peace and joy and power and all kinds of things, and we can and should ask for all of these, but I don’t want to go to Him seeking only a part. When all I have is a part, small piece, or worst, seeking after someone else’s small piece, I can end up totally missing Him. I wanted it this way, but because it didn’t happen like that, I feel that God isn’t with me, or worse, I feel like God loves someone else more than me. I don’t have to have your experience to know that I have a real, personal, awesome relationship with YAH. I most definitely want more of Him, and to see Him in His fullness, but I refuse to limit Him in how He wants to show Himself.

It’s all about Him, not me. I want to be so lost in Him, so wrapped up and consumed with/by Him, that I don’t even recognize myself apart from Him. I want to see myself through His eyes looking backward, rather than my eyes looking forward (if you can understand). It’s a little hard to explain the picture, but I pray that God would reveal Himself to you and who you are in Him, how He sees you. Live there, find your identity there. Let’s stop limiting God, limiting ourselves, causing separation from Him. Come to Him as you are and be transformed as you enter His presence. Wow! That’s awesome! I’ll say it again, come to Him as you are and be transformed as you enter His presence. I don’t have to achieve or earn His love; I can’t. He loves me more than I can fathom, infinitely. We cannot even put words to the deepest revelations through relationship with Him. We can’t put words on the feeling of His presence. So, why would we limit God by seeking Him through someone else’s attempt to describe some small part of the expression of His love for them, and what it felt like to be there. Get your own experience, not like theirs, not like mine, but your very own. Seek Him without boundaries, without walls, as He is, as He would reveal Himself to you. Praise the name above every name that can be named, YAHushua ha ‘Mashiach, the King of kings and Lord of lords, the Son of the Living God. HalleluYAH!!!

Daddy’s Lap

It’s time that we separate ourselves from this vial worldly thinking, and draw near to the one who loves us. This world does not love us. Satan does not love us. Even our own parents, or our spouse, don’t love us in comparison to the Love of the Father, their love is hate in comparison to His love. We have been so deceived; we are so fallen from understanding, from the place that we were created to live in. We are even afraid to go near God, when that’s exactly what we were created for. He created us to be His family, to be just like Him, in His very image. We are so fallen. We call His good evil, and what is truly evil good. The whole time He calls to us, “No! I’m a good Dad. Draw near to me; taste and see that I am good.” This is the importance of stepping out into faith. Without faith, we cannot draw near to YAHuwah. We must know that He is and that He is a rewarder to those who seek Him. We don’t seek Him because we must, and can’t seek Him out of fear, but we run to Him because He is a good Dad who loves His children.

It’s time that we take our seat, in the very Lap of the Almighty, All powerful, Super Dad, YAHuwah. He is the God of Love, more than that, He is the very definition of Love. Let us draw near to Him in confidence. Let us draw near to Him in faith, knowing that He is, and He gives good gifts to us when we seek, ask, and knock. His very presence is the gift of all gifts. To be in His presence is the completion and fulfillment of our very existence. We can have this today; we can walk in this fulfillment today. Let us run to Him, jump on His lap, and be transformed into His very image…LOVE.

It is from this place that we love one another. It is from this place that we are enlightened and given knew understanding. It is from this place that we rest and are comforted, that we find true peace and true joy. Let this not be only a metaphor, but let us truly run to Him, even today. Live in the Spirit, live in Christ. Seek first His kingdom, where He is seated, and run to Him through His own righteousness that has been extended and given through YAHushua. HalleluYAH!!!

I’m in Love

Posted in Revies with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on Thursday, February 19, 2009 by crazychristcraver

I am in a love relationship with the King of kings and Lord of lords; loving Him with my whole heart, my whole soul, my whole mind, and my whole strength, everything. Because of His love for me, He has seated me in heavenly places, and shows me how to live from the Truth of that reality. It is no longer I who live (I deny my flesh and lose my life), but Christ lives in/through me. Continually, I offer up my body as a living sacrifice, presented to/for righteousness, set apart in purity for holiness, and therefore perfected in every way, lacking no good thing. I seek first His kingdom, the heavenly places; I enter through His righteousness, and live out of His riches and His glory as a manifest son of Eyahuah. I love others more than myself, considering them as more valuable, and I gladly lay my life down for them. My words, Eyahuah’s words through me, are for encouragement and exhortation, giving grace to the hearer. I rejoice always, pray without ceasing, and give thanks in/for all things. I am a sent out one; sent to preach/teach/share the gospel Truth of liberty—freedom from sin and death—in love, backed by the power, Ruach—the very breath or set-apart Spirit of Eyahuah—that raised Eyahushua the Anointed from the dead, and lives Love in/through me, moves me to do His will, empowers me to live as He has called me. He is my shield, my fortress, my stronghold, in Him—in His very name—I put my Trust. He is faithful and just and forgives me and cleanses me of all unrighteousness. Eyahuah is my Provider, my Source, my Dad, my Judge, and He upholds me in all things. Eyahushua is my Savior, Lord, and Master, my Deliverer, my Conqueror, my Friend, my Brother, my Lover, my Husband to be. By Him I run against troops, march against death itself, speak to the mountain, set the captives free, heal the sick, lame walk, deaf hear, blind see. I am full of the Yes and the Amen as I am His dispenser and ambassador of the grace of Eyahuah in/by which all things are given, even faith itself as He gives each the measure that none can boast. I am not my own, I was bought at a price, and traded junk for righteousness. He calls me beautiful, He calls me beloved, He calls me son. I abide in the Father, and He abides in me. The Truth is I don’t know much, but I rest in only these two things: Christ and Him crucified. Or, said a little different: He is and He is a rewarder to those who seek Him and call upon His name, for His name is great, and greatly to be praised. HalleluYAH!!!
