Q.

Are angels mere personifications of what is upright and bad in this world or are they real persons?

A.

Personality means to have a life of its own as a living person or individual. Angels do have personalities though in a different class of its own.

In order to be reckoned as a person, a being must have intelligence, emotions and will.

In this sense, we can categorically say that angels are persons, with each having his own unique personality.

Angels qualify as personalities because they have intelligence, emotions and will.

This fact applies to both holy and wicked angels alike.

Holy angels, ha-satán and demons have intelligence. (2 Corinthians 11:3; 1 Káfos 1:12)

Holy angels, ha-satán and demons exhibit emotions. (Luke 2:13; YÁOHU-caf 2:19; Revelation 12:17)

Holy angels, ha-satán and demons have their own wills. (Luke 8:28-31; 2 YÁOHU-tam 2:26; YAOHÚ-dah 6)

Although all angels possess native intelligence, yet their knowledge is limited, unlike that of our Creator YÁOHU Ulhím Who alone has unlimited knowledge.

Angels, holy and wicked alike, don't know all things that YÁOHU Ulhím knows, although their knowledge is somewhat better than ordinary humans.

Although they have their own individual wills, yet they are all subject to the overall will of YÁOHU Ulhím.

Everything that angels do are either directly ordered by YÁOHU Ulhím, allowed by Him or within His permissive will.

We conclude therefore that angels are not mere personifications of what is holy and wicked in this world but are real living beings with personalities.

'Then I saw in heaven another significant event, and it was great and marvelous. Seven angels were holding the seven last plagues, which would bring YÁOHU UL's wrath to completion....

The seven angels who were holding the bowls of the seven plagues came from the Temple, clothed in spotless white linen with gold belts around their chests.

And one of the four living beings handed each of the seven angels a gold bowl filled with the terrible wrath of YÁOHU UL, Who lives forever and forever.

The Temple was filled with smoke from YÁOHU UL's glory and power.

No one could enter the Temple until the seven angels had completed pouring out the seven plagues.

Everything has been created through Him and for Him!

He already did exist before everything else began, and He holds all creation together.'

- Colossians 1:15-17, Holy Scriptures

'When you have something against another Yaohúshuahée, why do you file a lawsuit and ask a secular court to decide the matter, in place of taking it to other Yaohúshuahim to decide who is right?

Don't you know that someday we Yaohúshuahim are going to judge the world? And since you are going to judge the world, can't you decide these little things among yourselves?

Don't you realize that we Yaohúshuahim will judge the angels?

So you should surely be able to resolve ordinary disagreements here on earth. If you have legal disputes about such matters, why do you go to outside judges who are not respected by the Oholyáo (Congregation)?

I am saying this to shame you. Is not there anyone in all the Oholyáo who is wise enough to decide these arguments?

But on the contrary, one Yaohúshuahée sues another - right in front of unbelievers!

To have such lawsuits at all is a real defeat for you.

Why not just accept the injustice and leave it at that? Why not let yourselves be cheated?

But on the contrary, you yourselves are the ones who do wrong and cheat even your own Yaohúshuahim brethren.

Don't you know that those who do wrong will have no share in the Kingdom of YÁOHU Ulhím?

Don't deceive yourselves!

Those who indulge in sexual sin, who are idol worshipers, adulterers, male prostitutes, homosexuals, thieves, greedy people, drunkards, abusers and swindlers - none of these will have a share in the Kingdom of YÁOHU Ulhím.

There was a time when some of you were just like that, but now your sins have been washed away, and you have been set apart for YÁOHU UL.

You have been made right with YÁOHU UL because of what Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY and the 'RÚKHA-YÁOHU' (Spirit of YÁOHU UL) have done for you.'

Anecdote For Today - Bad Angels (Demons) Screaming....

So they arrived in the land of the Gerasenes, opposite Galilee over the lake. As YAOHÚSHUA was climbing out of the boat, a man who was possessed by demons came out to meet Him.

Homeless and naked, he had lived in a cemetery for a long time.

As soon as he saw YAOHÚSHUA, he shrieked and fell to the ground before him, screaming, 'Why are you bothering me, YAOHÚSHUA, Son of the Most High YÁOHU UL? Please, I beg you, don't torture me!'

For YAOHÚSHUA had already commanded the evil spirit to come out of him. This spirit had often taken control of the man.

Even when he was shackled with chains, he simply broke them and rushed out into the wilderness, completely under the demon's power.

'What is your name?' YAOHÚSHUA asked.

'Legion,' he replied - for the man was filled with many demons.

The demons kept begging YAOHÚSHUA not to send them into the Bottomless Pit.

A large herd of pigs was feeding on the hillside nearby, and the demons pleaded with Him to let them enter into the pigs.

YAOHÚSHUA gave them permission.

So the demons came out of the man and entered the pigs, and the whole herd plunged down the steep hillside into the lake, where they drowned.

Q.

Why are angels more knowledgeable than ordinary humans?

A.

There are mainly three reasons why angels have more knowledge than ordinary humans, and they are:

1.

Angels were created as a higher order in the hierarchy of creatures in the universe, thus they are innately more intelligent and powerful than ordinary human beings;

2.

Angels learn the Holy Scriptures more thoroughly than ordinary human beings, and they know every command, order and express will of YÁOHU Ulhím and they obey Him promptly and do His will - (YÁOHU-caf - James 2:19; Revelation 12:12)

3.

Angels have accumulated knowledge based upon past observations of human beings and their behavior in different predicaments, thus they can somewhat predict natural human reactions.

Also, angels do not have to learn the past since creation because they have lived through it and have actually experienced it.

Since angels have lived for so long and have observed and experienced events in the past, these experiences of longevity give them greater knowledge than ordinary human beings.

Anecdote For Today - Angels Blind The Sodomites....

That evening the two angels came to the entrance of the city of Sodom, and Lot sat as they arrived. When he saw them, he rose up to meet them. Then he welcomed them and bowed low to the ground.

'My sirs,' he said, 'please come to my home to wash your feet, and be my guests for the night. You may then get up in the morning as early as you like and be on your way again.'

'Oh no,' they replied, 'we'll just spend the night out here in the city square.'

But Lot was adamant, so at last they went home with him.

He set a great feast before them, complete with fresh bread made without yeast. After the meal, as they were preparing to retire for the night, all the men of Sodom, young and old, came from all over the city and surrounded the house.

They yelled to Lot, 'Where are the men who came to spend the night with you? Bring them out so we can have homosex with them!'

Lot stepped outside to talk to them, closing the door behind him.

'Please, my brethren,' he begged, don't do such a wicked thing. Look - I have two virgin daughters. Do with them as you wish, but leave these men alone, for they are under my protection.'

'Get out of the way!' they yelled. 'Who do you think you are? We let you dwell here among us, and now you are trying to tell us what to do! We'll treat you far worse compared to those other men!'

And they lunged at Lot and began breaking down the door.

But the two angels reached out and pulled Lot in and bolted the door. Then they blinded the men of Sodom so they couldn't find the doorway.

'Do you have any other relatives here in the city?' the angels asked. 'Get them out of this place - sons-in-law, sons, daughters or anyone else. For we will annihilate the city completely. The malodor of the place has reached YÁOHU Ulhím, and He has sent us to annihilate it.'

Knowing YÁOHU Ulhím And His Rich Provisions For Me

Q.

Do angels have physical bodies like ours? Do they propagate in number, or else, do they cease to exist by dying?

A.

Angels are not like human beings with physical bodies.

Angels are spirit beings and as such they are incorporeal and immaterial, which means, they do not possess material, physical bodies like humans.

Angels are called 'serving spirits' in Hebrews 1:14.

Demons (fallen angels) are called 'evil and unclean spirits' in Luke 8:2;11:24 and 26.

Ha-satán (former angel) is also referred to as the 'spirit that now works in the children of disobedience' - Ephesians 2:2.

Beings spirit beings, they can move freely in this world but to some degree of spatial limitations.

Angels have also been seen by humans but the Holy Scriptures categorically designate them to be spirits.

Unlike YÁOHU Ulhím Who alone is infinite, angels being spirit beings are nevertheless finite in essence and power, because, like humans, they too were created by YÁOHU Ulhím.

Although they are spirit beings, this does not preclude the possibility for them to be physically visible to human beings in their own kind of angelic bodies.

Angels usually appear as males although in Zochar-YÁOHU 5:9 they appear to be women.

Their being capable to appear in humanlike forms to people does not mean that they are also capable of sexual reproduction. That would be absurd.

Angels have appeared in dreams and visions (Man-YÁOHU 1:20), in a special unveiling of their presence (2 Kings 6), and to people in a normal, aware and waking condition (Bereshít 19:1-8; Mark 16:5 and Luke 2:13).

In heavenly visions, angels are described in superhuman terms much different from their humanlike appearances.

Although some angels have wings, not all angels have wings however. Angels eat their own kind of food, too.

The number of angels will always be the same because they do not procreate; neither do they die.

Fallen or wicked angels will be punished by means of eternal separation from the presence of YÁOHU Ulhím, there in their own place of the wicked undead.

Scriptural Basis -

'Angels are only servants. They are spirits sent from YÁOHU UL to care for those who are heirs of His salvation.' - Hebrews 1:14, Holy Scriptures

'Yet He gave a command to the skies above

He rained down manna for the people to eat,
     He gave them the grain of heaven.

Anecdote For Today - Never Look Back....

At dawn the next morning the angels became adamant.

'Hurry,' they said to Lot. 'Take your wife and your two daughters who are here. Get out of here right now, or you will be caught in the annihilation of the city.'

When Lot still doubted, the angels seized his hand and the hands of his wife and two daughters and rushed them to safety outside the city, for YÁOHU UL was merciful.

'Run for your lives!' the angels warned. 'Do not stop anywhere in the valley. And don't look back! Escape to the mountains, or you will die!'

'Oh no, my sirs, please,' Lot begged. 'You have been so kind to me and saved my life, and you have granted me such mercy. But I cannot go to the mountains. Calamity would catch up to me there, and I would soon die. Look, there is a small village nearby. Please let me go there; don't you see how small it is? Then my life will be saved.'

'All right,' the angel said, 'I will grant your request. I will not ruin that little village. But hurry! For I can do nothing until you are there.' From that time on, that village was known as Zohar. The sun was rising as Lot reached the village.

Then YÁOHU UL rained down fire and burning sulfur from the heavens on Sodom and Gomorrah. He utterly annihilated them, along with the other cities and villages of the plain, eliminating all life - people, plants and animals alike.

But Lot's wife looked back as she was following along behind him, and she became a pillar of salt!

Q.

How many angels are there and how are they organized?

A.

The Holy Scriptures do not exactly tell us how many angels there are but by the meaning of the phrase which was used to describe their number, we can safely assume that there are millions and millions of them, as the phrase 'myriads and myriads' denote in Hebrews 12:22 and Rev. 5:11.

Some allege that there are as many angels as there would be number of people living on this planet at its maximum number, for each person born must have at least a single guardian angel to watch over him all through his life.

Whatever their exact number is, both holy and wicked angels, the fact remains that their number does not change, since they do not procreate.

The holy angels are organized and led by YÁOHU Ulhím, the Creator Eternal, while the wicked and bad angels are organized and led by ha-satán, the archenemy.

Micha-Ul is the highest ranking angel, and given the title archangel. Although there are several high-ranking angels, yet Micha-Ul is the highest ranking among them.

Micha-Ul is the guardian angel of the nation of Yaoshorúl (Israel) as indicated in Dayan-Ul 10:21;12:1 of the Old Testament, and it is he who will support Yaoshorúl during its time of trouble.

Micha-Ul leads the angelic armies of heaven in battle against ha-satán and his host of demons or fallen angels.

In the apocryphal Book of Kanóch, the four principal angels who serve by the throne of YÁOHU Ulhím are: Micha-Ul, Gaborúl, Ro-éful and Urúl.

Another group of superior angels are the chief princes among whom is Micha-Ul as the leader.

In the book of YAOHÚ-dah (Jude) is mentioned Micha-Ul's contending for the corpse of Mehushúa (Moses) signifying that he had something to do with his burial, and that he has no authority to pronounce direct judgment on ha-satán, and being himself a creature, he has to depend on the power of YÁOHU Ulhím to overcome and successfully obey His commands.

'For twenty-one days the spirit prince of the kingdom of Persia blocked my way. Then Micha-Ul, one of the archangels, came to support me, and I left him there with the spirit prince of the kingdom of Persia.' - Dayán-Ul 10:13

'But before I do that, I will tell you what is inscribed in the Book of Truth. (There is no one to support me against these spirit princes except Micha-Ul, your spirit prince. I have been serving beside Micha-Ul as his support and defense since the first year of the reign of Darius the Mede.)' - Dayan-Ul 10:21-11:1

'At that time Micha-Ul, the archangel who guards over your nation, will arise. Then there will be a time of anguish greater than any since nations first came into formation.

But at that time every one of your people whose name is inscribed in the book will be rescued.' - Dayan-Ul 12:1

'But even Micha-Ul, one of the mightiest of the angels, did not dare accuse ha-satán of blasphemy, but simply said, 'YÁOHU UL rebuke you!'

(This took place when Micha-Ul was arguing with ha-satán about the corpse of Mehushúa.)' - YAOHÚ-dah 1:9

'At that time Micha-Ul, the archangel who remains on guard over your nation, will rise up. Then there will be a time of anguish greater than any since nations first came into being.

But at that time every one of your people whose name is inscribed in the book will be rescued. Many of those whose bodies lie dead and buried will rise up, some to eternal life and some to shame and eternal contempt.

Those who are wise will shine as bright as the sky, and those who turn many to uprightness will shine like 'cocavím' (s-ars) forever.

But you, Dayan-Ul, keep this prophecy a secret; seal up the book until the time of the end. Many will travel here and there, and knowledge will increase.'

Then I, Dayan-Ul, looked and saw two others arisen upon the opposite banks of the river. One of them asked the man clothed in linen, who was now up over the river, 'How long will it be until these shocking events happen?'

The man clothed in linen, who was up over the river, raised both his hands toward heaven and took this solemn oath by the One Who lives forever: 'It will go on for a time, times, and half a time. When the power of the holy people has finally been broken, all these events will have happened.'

I heard what he said, but I did not comprehend what he meant.

So I asked, 'How will all this finally end, my sir?'

But he said, 'Go now, Dayan-Ul, for what I have said is for the time of the end.

Many will be purified, cleansed gam refined by these trials. But the wicked will continue in their wickedness, and none of them will comprehend.

Only those who are wise will know what it means!

From the time the daily sacrifice is taken away and the sacrilegious object that causes desecration is set up to be worshiped, there will be 1,290 days.

And favored be those who wait and remain until the end of the 1,335 days!

As for you, go your way until the end.

You will rest but at the end of the days, you will rise again to receive the inheritance set aside for you.'

Q.

What are the other hierarchies of angels or rankings?

A.

Governmental Angels -

1.

Rulers or principalities - These are the terms used by the emissary Shaúl in identifying the governing angels over each geographical location.

YÁOHU Ulhím has His own 'rulers and principalities' assigned over each geographical location or political jurisdiction.

Ha-satán, the notorious imitator or impostor, on the other hand, also has his own opposing 'rulers and principalities' over each geographical location, whose job is to oppose the will of YÁOHU Ulhím and to promote evil in all its forms.

2.

Authorities or powers - These terms give emphasis to the superhuman abilities and authority of the holy angels (and the opposing wicked angels also) over the affairs of people in each geographical area.

3.

Powers - These terms conveys the fact that holy angels as well as the opposing demonic forces do exercise power over unregenerate humans in general.

4.

Rulers of the Darkness of This Word - This means that wicked angels or demons are the main instigators of all the works of darkness in this world, and that includes all kinds of wickedness, sensuality and lust.

5.

Thrones or dominions - These designate the holy angels of YÁOHU Ulhím to be full of His glory, dignity and authority in implementing YÁOHU Ulhím's reign and dominion over His own reign and governance.

Scriptural Basis -

'Finally, be powerful in ha-Molkhiúl (the King) and in His mighty power. Put on the full armor of YÁOHU UL so you can endure against the schemes of ha-satán.

For our conflict is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

Therefore put on the full armor of YÁOHU UL, in order that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to hold your ground, and after you have done everything, to survive.

Remain firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of uprightness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the Glorious Message of peace.

In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can quench all the flaming arrows of the evil one.

Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the 'RÚKHA' (Spirit), which is the Word of YÁOHU UL.

And pray in the 'RÚKHA' (Spirit) on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints.' - Ephesians 6:10-18

And happily giving 'hodayáo' (thanks) to YÁOHU ABí (the Father), Who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in the kingdom of light.

Anecdote For Today - Angels On The Ladder To Heaven....

Meanwhile, YÁOHU-caf left Beer-Sheba and traveled toward Haran.

At sunset he arrived at a pleasant place to set up camp and stopped there for the night.

YÁOHU-caf found an 'éban' (s-one) for a pillow and lay down to sleep. As he slept, he dreamed of a ladder that reached from earth to heaven. And he saw the angels of YÁOHU UL going up and down on it!

At the top of the ladder arose YÁOHU UL, and He said -

'I am YÁOHU UL, YÁOHU UL of your grandfather Abruhám and YÁOHU UL of your father, YÁOHUtz-kaq. The ground you are lying on belongs to you. I will give it to you and your offsprings. Your offsprings will be as numerous as the dust of the earth!

He was afraid and said, 'What an awesome place this is! It is without doubt the house of YÁOHU UL - the gateway to heaven!'

The next morning he rose up very early. He took the 'éban' (s-one) he had used as a pillow and set it upright as a memorial pillar. Then he poured olive oil over it.

He named the place Báyit-UL - 'house of YÁOHU UL' - though the name of the nearby village was Luz.

Knowing YÁOHU Ulhím And His Rich Provisions For Me

Q.

Well, how about the terms 'cherubim' and 'seraphim' which I have heard before pertaining to angels?

A.

Cherubim - This term refers to a separate order of angels of a higher rank because Hillél (Lucifer), who later became ha-satán, was originally created as a cherub.

The main function of cherubim apparently is to guard and protect the holiness of YÁOHU Ulhím, having blocked the way back to the Tree of Life so Adam and Khavyáo couldn't get back to it.

Images of cherubim in the temples and in the holy tabernacle of YÁOHU Ulhím reaffirm their protecting and guarding functions in the governing order of YÁOHU Ulhím.

Cherubim also are responsible in carrying or bearing the portable, fiery chariot throne of YÁOHU Ulhím.

The four living beings that are around the heavenly royal throne are also identified as being cherubim, again holily performing their guarding duties.

Images of cherubim will also form a part of the forthcoming third Temple of YÁOHU Ulhím.

Seraphim -

This term refers to another aggrupation or order of angels similar to cherubim, though with different functions or duties.

Seraphim are mainly involved in the cleansing or purifying activities in YÁOHU Ulhím's government.

They also serve as ready attendants around the royal throne of YÁOHU Ulhím.

One of their more important duties was to continually offer praises to YÁOHU Ulhím.

Seraphim have six wings and appear to have humanlike features.

The word comes from the root meaning 'to purge' or 'to purify.'

Scriptural Basis -

'Shua-ólmoh prepared the inner shrine in the rear of the Temple, where YÁOHU UL's Ark of the Covenant would be placed.

This inmost chamber was 30 feet long, 30 feet wide and 30 feet high.

Shua-ólmoh overlaid its walls and ceiling with pure gold. He also overlaid the altar made of éres (ce-ar). Then he overlaid the rest of the Temple's inner chamber with pure gold, and he made gold chains to protect the entrance to the Most Holy Place.

So he finished overlaying the entire Temple with gold, including the altar that belonged to the Most Holy Place.

Within the inner shrine Shua-ólmoh placed two cherubim made of olive wood, each 15 feet tall. The wingspan of each of the cherubim was 15 feet, each wing being 7 1/2 feet long.

The two cherubim were identical in shape and size; each was 15 feet tall. Shua-ólmoh placed them side by side in the inner chamber of the Temple.

Their outspread wings reached from wall to wall, while their inner wings touched at the middle of the room. He overlaid the two cherubim with gold.

All the walls of the inner shrine and the main room were decorated with carvings of cherubim, palm trees and open flowers. The floor in both rooms was overlaid with gold.'

Your Nugget Of Wisdom For Today - The Chariot Throne....

'As I looked, I saw a great whirlwind coming toward me from the north, driving before it a huge cloud that flashed with lightning and shone with brilliant light.

The fire inside the cloud glowed like gleaming amber. From the midpoint of the cloud came four living beings that looked human, except that each had four faces and two pairs of wings.

Their legs were like human legs, but their feet were split like calves' feet and shone like burnished bronze. Beneath each of their wings I could see human hands.

The wings of each living being touched the wings of the two beings beside it. The living beings were able to fly in any direction without turning around.

Each had a human face in the front, the face of a lion on the right side, the face of an ox on the left side, and the face of an eagle at the back. Each had two pairs of outspread wings - one pair spread out to touch the wings of the living beings on either side of it, and the other pair covered its body.

They went in whatever direction the spirit wanted, and they moved directly forward in all directions without having to turn around.

The living beings looked like bright coals of fire or brilliant torches, and it looked as though lightning was flashing back and forth among them.

And the living beings darted to and fro like flashes of lightning. As I looked at these beings, I saw four wheels on the ground beneath them, one wheel belonging to each.

The wheels sparkled as if made of chrysolite. All four wheels looked the same; each wheel had a second wheel turning within it.

The beings could move forward in any of the four directions they faced, without turning as they moved. The rims of the four wheels were awesomely tall, and they were covered with eyes all around the edges.

When the four living beings moved, the wheels moved with them. When they flew upward, the wheels went up, too. The spirit of the four living beings was in the wheels.

So wherever the spirit went, the wheels and the living beings went, too. When the living beings moved, the wheels moved. When the living beings stopped, the wheels stopped.

When the living beings flew into the air, the wheels rose up. For the spirit of the living beings was in the wheels.

There was a surface spread out above them like the sky. It sparkled like crystal. Beneath this surface the wings of each living being spread out to touch the others' wings, and each had two wings covering its body.

As they flew their wings roared like waves crashing against the shore, or like the voice of YÁOHU Ulhím, or like the hollering of a mighty army.

When they stopped, they let down their wings. As they rose up with their wings lowered, a voice spoke from beyond the crystal surface above them.

Above the surface over their heads was what looked like a throne made of blue sapphire. And high above this throne was a figure whose appearance was like that of a man.

From his waist up, He looked like gleaming amber, flickering like a fire. And from His waist going downward, He looked like a burning flame, glowing with splendor.

All around Him was a glowing halo, like a rainbow glowing through the clouds.

This was the way the glory of YÁOHU Ulhím appeared to me.

When I saw it, I fell face forward down upon the dust, and I heard someone's voice speaking to me.'

Anecdote For Today - Cherubim Guarding The Way....

'Now the serpent was the shrewdest of all the creatures YÁOHU Ulhím had made.

'Really?' he asked the woman. 'Did YÁOHU Ulhím really say you never must eat any of the fruit in the garden?'

'Of course we may eat it,' the woman told him. 'It's only the fruit from the tree at the middle of the garden that we are not allowed to eat. YÁOHU Ulhím says we never must eat it or even touch it, or we will die.'

'You won't die!' the serpent hissed. 'YÁOHU Ulhím knows that your eyes will be opened when you eat it. You will become just like YÁOHU Ulhím, knowing everything, both noble and evil.'

The woman was convinced. The fruit looked so fresh and delectable, and it would make her so wise! So she ate some of the fruit.

She also gave some to her husband, who was with her. Then he ate it, too.

At that moment, their eyes were opened, and they immediately felt shame at their nakedness. So they tied fig leaves together around their hips to cover themselves.

Toward evening they heard YÁOHU Ulhím walking about in the garden, so they hid themselves among the trees.

YÁOHU Ulhím called to Adam, 'Where are you?'

He replied, 'I heard You, so I hid. I was afraid because I was naked.'

'Who told you that you were naked?' YÁOHU Ulhím asked. 'Have you eaten the fruit I commanded you not to eat?'

'Yes,' Adam admitted, 'but it was the woman You gave me who brought me the fruit, and I ate it.'

Then YÁOHU Ulhím asked the woman, 'How could you do such?'

'The serpent tricked me,' she replied. 'That's why I ate it.'

YÁOHU Ulhím therefore said to the serpent, 'Because you have done this, you will be punished. You are singled out from all the domestic and wild animals of the whole earth to be cursed.

You will grovel in the dust as long as you live, crawling along on your belly. From now on, you and the woman will be enemies, and your offspring and her offspring will be enemies. He will crush your head, and you will smite his heel.'

Then he said to the woman, 'You will bear children with intense pain and suffering. And though your desire will always be for your husband, yet he will be your boss.'

And to Adam he said, 'Because you hearkened to your wife and ate the fruit I told you not to eat, I have placed a curse on the ground.

All your life you will toil to scratch a living from it. It will grow thorns and thistles for you, though you will eat of its grains.

All your life you will sweat to make food, until your dying day.

Then you will return to the ground from which you came. For you were made from dust, so to the dust you will return.'

Then Adam named his wife Khavyáo, because she would be the mother of all people everywhere. And YÁOHU Ulhím made clothing from animal skins for Adam and his wife.

Then YÁOHU Ulhím said, 'The people have become as we are, knowing everything, both noble and evil. What if they eat the fruit of the Tree of Life? Then they will live forever!'

YÁOHU Ulhím therefore banished Adam and his wife from the Garden of Eden, and he sent Adam out to cultivate the ground from which he had been made.

After banishing them from the garden, YÁOHU Ulhím assigned mighty cherubim angelic beings to the east of Eden.

And a flaming sword flashed back and forth, guarding the way to the Tree of Life.'

Anecdote For Today - Grateful And Patient Regardless....

One day the angels came again to present themselves before YÁOHU Ulhím, and ha-satán the accuser came with them.

'Where have you come from?' YÁOHU Ulhím asked ha-satán.

And ha-satán answered YÁOHU Ulhím, 'I have been going back and forth throughout the earth, watching everything that's going on.'

Then YÁOHU Ulhím asked ha-satán, 'Have you noticed my servant Yaoháv? He is the finest man in all the earth - a man of complete integrity. He reverentially fears YÁOHU UL and will have nothing to do with evil. And he has maintained his solemn integrity, even though you persuaded Me to harm him without cause.'

Ha-satán replied to YÁOHU Ulhím, 'Skin for skin - he favors You only because You favor him. A person will give up everything he has to save his life. But take away his wellness, and he will surely curse You to Your face!'

'All right, do with him as you please,' YÁOHU Ulhím told ha-satán. 'But spare his life.'

So ha-satán left YÁOHU Ulhím's presence, and he smote Yaoháv with a terrible case of boils from head to foot. Then Yaoháv scraped his skin with a piece of broken pottery as he sat among the ashes.

His wife said to him, 'Are you continuing to maintain your integrity? Better you curse YÁOHU UL and die!'

But Yaoháv replied, 'You talk like a pagan woman. Should we accept only delightful things from the hand of YÁOHU UL and never anything bad?'

So in all this, Yaoháv said nothing wrong.

As I was praying, Gaborúl, whom I had seen in the earlier vision, came swiftly to me at the time of the evening sacrifice.

He explained to me, 'Dayan-Ul, I have come here to give you insight plus comprehension.

The moment you began praying, a command was given. I am here to tell you what it was, for YÁOHU UL loves you very much.

Now hearken, so you can comprehend the meaning of your vision:

A period of seventy sets of seven has been decreed for your people and your Holy City to put down rebellion, to bring an end to sin, to atone for guilt, to bring in eternal uprightness, to confirm the prophetic vision, and to anoint the Most Holy Place.

Now hearken and comprehend! Seven sets of seven plus sixty-two sets of seven will pass from the time the command is given to rebuild Yaohúshua-oléym until the Anointed One comes.

Yaohúshua-oléym will be rebuilt with roads and tough defenses, despite the perilous times.

After this period of sixty-two sets of seven, the Anointed One will be killed, appearing to have achieved nothing, and a ruler will arise whose armies will ruin the City and the Temple.

The end will come with a flood, and war and its miseries are decreed from that time to the very end.

He will make a treaty with the people for a period of one set of seven, but after half this time, he will put an end to the sacrifices and offerings.

Then as a climax to all his horrible deeds, he will set up a sacrilegious object that causes desecration, until the end that has been decreed is poured out on this defiler.'

Anecdote For Today - Angels To The Rescue....

While Káfos was in prison, the Oholyáo (Congregation) prayed very earnestly for him.

The night before Káfos was to be placed on trial, he was asleep, chained between two guards, with others on guard at the prison gate.

Surprisingly, there was a bright light in the cell, and an angel of YÁOHU Ulhím rose up before Káfos. The angel tapped him on the side to awaken him and said, 'Quick! Get up!'

And the chains fell off his wrists.

Then the angel told him, 'Get dressed and put on your sandals.'

And he did.

'Now put on your coat and follow me,' the angel ordered.

So Káfos left the cell, following the angel. But all the time he thought it was a vision. He didn't realize it was really happening.

They passed the first as well as the second guard posts and came to the iron gate to the roadway, and this opened to them all by itself.

So they went through and began walking down the road, and then the angel quickly left him.

Káfos finally realized what had happened.

'It's really true!' he said to himself. 'YÁOHU Ulhím has sent His angel and saved me from Herod and from what the YAOHÚ-dim were hoping to do to me!'

After a little thought, he went to the home of Maoro-ém, the mother of YÁOHU-khánam Mark, where many were gathered for prayer.'

4. Conscience
5. Mind (differentiated from the physical brain)

Your Nugget Of Wisdom For Today -

'Suppose there are prophets among you, or those who have dreams about the future, and they promise you signs or miracles, and the predicted signs or miracles take place.

If the prophets then say, 'Come, let us worship the idols of foreign nations,' do not hearken to them.

YÁOHU Ulhím, your Eternal Creator, is merely trying you to see if you really love Him with all your heart and soul.

Serve only YÁOHU Ulhím, your Eternal Creator, and reverentially fear Him alone.

Obey His commands, hearken to His voice and cling to Him.'

Anecdote For Today - Get Away From Me....

Then YAOHÚSHUA began to tell them that He, the Son of Man, would suffer many terrible things and be rejected by the leaders, the leading priests and the teachers of religious law.

He would be killed, and three days later He would rise again.

As He talked about this openly with His disciples, Káfos took Him aside, telling Him He should not say matters like that.

YAOHÚSHUA quickly turned and looked at His disciples and then said to Káfos very seriously, 'Get away from me, ha-satán! You are looking at things merely from a human point of view, not from YÁOHU UL's.'

Then He called His disciples and the crowds to come over and hearken well.

'If any of you wants to be My follower,' He told them, 'you must put aside your selfish ambition, bear your own stake and follow Me.

If you try to keep your life for yourself, you will lose it.

But if you give up your life for My sake and for the sake of the Glorious Message, you will find real life!

And how do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul in the process?

Is anything worth more than your soul?'

Q.

What do you mean when you refer to my 'spirit'?

A.

The word spirit comes from the Hebrew word 'rúkha' and the Greek word 'pneuma' - which also denotes 'breath' or 'wind' from YÁOHU Ulhím.

The term 'spirit' refers specifically to that immaterial, intelligent part of you which is the basic or main activating principle which influences your whole person.

The animating or vital principle which gives life to a human being is the spirit which comes from the Eternal Creator, YÁOHU Ulhím.

All human beings have spirits; while animals have souls.

You are your spirit, you have a soul and you dwell in a human physical body.

The spirit is that part of you which is regenerated or receives the experience of rebirth from above upon genuine conversion unto Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA.

Before conversion, a person's spirit is alienated from the life of YÁOHU Ulhím because of Adam's sin.

When you believed and accepted Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA as your Life Governor, Messiah and Savior, upon repentance, your spirit is reborn, regenerated and a new spirit from above, in the image of Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA, is given you by supernatural process.

All the past is gone away, everything becomes new.

You become a new creation, a brand new person deep inside of you, in your spirit.

You have now become a child of the living YÁOHU Ulhím, because you belong to Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY!

You are your spirit, you have a soul and you dwell in your physical body.

Scriptural Basis -

'It is the spirit in a person, the breath of YÁOHU Ulhím, that gives him comprehension.' - Yaoháv (Job) 32:8

'Who knows if the spirit of a person rises upward and if the spirit of the animal goes into the earth?' - Qeholóth (Ecclessiastes) 3:21

Anecdote For Today - How Anointed Music Drives Depression Away....

Now the 'RÚKHA-YÁOHU' (Sanctified Spirit of YÁOHU Ulhím) had left Shaúl, and YÁOHU Ulhím dispatched a tormenting spirit that filled him with depression and fear.

Some of Shaúl's servants recommended a remedy.

'It is clear that a spirit from YÁOHU Ulhím is tormenting you,' they said. 'Let us find a fine music player to play the harp for you whenever the tormenting spirit is bothering you. The harp music will quiet you, and you will soon be well again.'

'All right,' Shaúl said. 'Find me someone who plays well and bring him here.'

One of the servants said to Shaúl, 'The son of YÁOHU-shai is a talented harp player. Not only that; he is brave and powerful and has sound judgment. He is also a fine-looking young man, and YÁOHU Ulhím is with him.'

Shaúl therefore sent representatives to YÁOHU-shai to say, 'Send me your son Dáoud, the shepherd.'

YÁOHU-shai responded by dispatching Dáoud to Shaúl, along with a young goat and a donkey loaded down with food and wine.

So Dáoud went to Shaúl and served him. Shaúl liked Dáoud very much, and Dáoud became one of Shaúl's armor bearers.

Then Shaúl sent word to YÁOHU-shai asking, 'Please let Dáoud join my staff, for I am very pleased with him.'

And whenever the tormenting spirit from YÁOHU Ulhím troubled Shaúl, Dáoud would play the harp.

Then Shaúl would feel better, and the tormenting spirit would go away.'

Q.

What does it really refer to when the Scriptures mention the word 'soul'?

A.

The word 'soul' comes from the Hebrew word 'néfesh' or the Greek word 'psyche' or the part of the immaterial person that is aware, feeling, evaluating and thinking

The term 'soul' refers specifically to that immaterial, intelligent part of you which consist of your mind, your feelings and emotions and your free will.

Man was created to be a living 'soul' with a free will of his own, having right emotions.

It is from the soul where sympathy, happiness, despair, gladness, bitterness, hate, love and other kind of emotions come from.

The soulish part of the person is the main focus of his redemption and renewal.

Originally, man was created with the right kinds of emotions and these were meant to enable each person to love and serve YÁOHU Ulhím with all his heart, mind, soul and vigor and to love his fellowmen same way as he loves himself.

But then the enemy came and injected corruption into the pure and natural feelings of man and so love was corrupted into lust, happiness was corrupted into sensual revelry, abhorrence for sin was corrupted into hatred for YÁOHU Ulhím and one's fellowmen, and so on and so forth.

Upon conversion, the spirit in you was regenerated, you were given the new birth, but your soul needs to worked on afterwards by the grace and saving power of YÁOHU Ulhím and by the continuing purifying work of His 'RÚKHA hol-HODSHÚA' in you.

While Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA is preparing a place for us in heaven, the 'RÚKHA hol-HODSHÚA' will prepare us and make us ready for heaven by sanctifying and purifying us according to the Word down here.

Our minds must be renewed so it would think in a way that is always aligned with the written Word. This is continual process, as we keep on spending time in reading His Word, memorizing passages, meditating on the Word and regularly muttering them, actualizing them in our daily lives.

The ultimate goal is to make real the scriptural fact that we have the mind of Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA!

Our free will must always be subject to His will. YÁOHU Ulhím will never force His will upon us, but the persuasive influences and enablements of the indwelling 'RÚKHA hol-HODSHÚA' will work in us so we would always freely and voluntarily submit our will under YÁOHU Ulhím's perfect will.

'Not my own will, but Your will be done, my heavenly YÁOHU ABí!' - should always be our response to His revealed perfect will.

Your happiness, peace of mind and heart, prosperity and wellness, riches and honor, exuberance and excellent well being can only be experienced when you are always in YÁOHU Ulhím's perfect will, not in His permissive will but in His perfect will for you, by your remaining continually in the plan He has prepared for you.

Rebellion is actually doing our own will, rather than YÁOHU Ulhím's perfect will, doing it our own way, not His way.

YAOHÚSHUA is the way means that we must do things and live our lives according to His way, not according to our own selfish ways.

When we do it His way, we'll get the same results Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA had from our loving YÁOHU Abihúl in heaven! YAOHÚSHUA is the way.

Now, coming to that portion of our soul which consist of feelings and emotions, these, too, must be managed and controlled and not allowed to have its wild rein upon us.

Positive and noble emotions must be coupled with actions and appropriate behavior, but negative and ruinous emotions must never be coupled with actions; they must be controlled and subdued, by the power of the indwelling 'RÚKHA hol-HODSHÚA.'

You must learn how to manage your emotions and not your emotions leading you here and there on their daily mood swings and tempers.

You must also let your mind think in agreement with Word, and always be on the positive side, and never let your mind control you whichever way it wants.

And your will must always be subject to YÁOHU Ulhím's perfect will.

When you do this, ha-satán cannot control your daily life.

You are your spirit, you have a soul (free will, mind and emotions) and you dwell in a physical human body.

Scriptural Basis -

Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA declared:

When you pray, say....

'YÁOHU Abihúl in heaven,
       may Your Shúam (Name) be honored.

May Your Kingdom come soon.
May Your will be done here on earth,
       just like it is in heaven.

Give us our food for today,
       and forgive us our sins,
       same way we have forgiven
       those who have sinned against us.

And don't let us yield to temptation,
       but deliver us from the evil one.'

If you forgive those who sin against you, your heavenly YÁOHU ABí will forgive you.

But if you refuse to forgive others, your YÁOHU ABí will not forgive your sins also.'

Anecdote For Today -

Then Káfos came to Him and asked, 'Molkhiúl, how often should I forgive someone who sins against me? Seven times?'

'No!' YAOHÚSHUA replied, 'seventy times seven!

For this reason, the Kingdom of Heaven can be compared to a king who determined to bring his accounts up to date with servants who had borrowed money from him.

In the process, one of his debtors was brought in who owed him millions of dollars. He couldn't pay, so the king ordered that he, his wife, his children and everything he had be sold to pay the debt.

But the man fell down before the king and begged him, 'Oh, sir, be patient with me, and I will pay it all.'

Then the king was filled with pity for him, and he released him and forgave his debt.

But when the man left the king, he went to a fellow servant who owed him a few thousand dollars. He grabbed him by the throat and demanded quick payment.

His fellow servant fell down before him and begged for a little more time.

'Be patient and I will pay it,' he pleaded. But his creditor wouldn't wait. He had the man apprehended and jailed until the debt could be paid in full.

When some of the other servants saw this, they were very upset. They went to the king and told him what had happened.

Then the king called in the man he had forgiven and said, 'You evil servant! I forgave you that huge debt because you pleaded with me. Should you not have mercy on your fellow servant, just as I had mercy on you?'

Then the angry king sent the man to prison until he had paid every penny.

That's what My heavenly YÁOHU ABí will do to you if you refuse to forgive your brethren in your heart.'

Q.

What does it really refer to when the Scriptures mention the word 'heart' of a person?

A.

The word 'heart' comes from the Hebrew word 'lev' or the Greek word 'kardia' or the part of the immaterial person which is the seat of your life, whether physical or psychical.

The term 'heart' refers specifically to that immaterial, intelligent part of you that is the inner person, the essence of the many facets of your own unique personality. To explain further....

1.

It is the seat of your awareness -

The heart evaluates, it obtains knowledge of the Word; the unregenerate heart is the source of evil thoughts and behavior and is deceitful; it has its own thoughts and motives.

2.

It is the seat of your emotional life -

The heart can love; it yields to self-reproach; it exults and is glad; it can be sorrowful; it has desires and it can be bitter.

3.

It is the seat of your volitional life -

It can be turned aside; it can be hardened; it is capable of selecting; and it can be uncircumcised.

4.

It is the seat of your spiritual life -

With the heart a person believes which yields to uprightness. For the Yaohúshuahee (believer) the heart is where YÁOHU ABí and Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA dwell in the Person of the indwelling 'RÚKHA-YÁOHU.'

The heart of the believer must be pure and circumcised.

'Above all else, guard your heart, for it affects everything else that you do.' - Maush'lay 4:23

Our desires and motivations come forth from our hearts, that is why we should carefully guard our affections, desires and wants, and make sure that they really do contribute positively to our physical, mental and spiritual well being in the sight of YÁOHU Ulhím.

You cannot have a wicked heart and live a clean, prosperous and healthy life. A wicked heart yields a wicked life and a pure and noble heart yields a wholesome, noble, healthy and prosperous life.

'Delight yourself in YÁOHU Ulhím
and He will give you the desires of your heart.' - Tehillím 37:4

To delight in YÁOHU Ulhím is spend times of calm delight with Him, with your thoughts and affections focused upon Him, times of quiet intimacy, solemn worship, happy praises and deep fellowship with Him through prayers and reading of His Word.

We must delight ourselves in YÁOHU Ulhím, and not in things, not in other people; neither in worldly entertainment nor in vain amusements.

Never should my delight be on money, movies, share prices, talk shows, food, clothes and other alluring things of this world.

Our thoughts must continually dwell on YÁOHU Ulhím and His Word.

YÁOHU Ulhím will then give us the desires of our hearts.

We must always examine and safeguard our hearts to weed out wrong motives and subdue wicked desires and passions.

And we must forgive one another from our hearts.

To forgive from the heart means that all kinds of resentment and bitterness are removed, that past offenses are no longer rehearsed in our minds over and over again, and that we have stopped talking bad about that person who has offended us.

You will prove to yourself that you have truly forgiven a person from your heart when you talk about him to others positively and your attitude toward him is already pleasant as well as delightful, your thoughts about him are nice and kind, and it is your prayer and desire that YÁOHU Ulhím really favor, cure, deliver and prosper him or her.

Remember, to favor someone means to say something positive, kind and praiseworthy about that person.

So we must really forgive others from our hearts and make sure that we are not harboring bitterness or any kind of hatred deep within our hearts.

We are DOERS of the Word and not learners only.

You must show mercy to others just like YÁOHU Ulhím has shown mercy to you.

From now on, you will speak well of those who have offended you because you have quickly forgiven them from your heart, merciful as you are now.

When you do this, ha-satán cannot control your daily life.

You are your spirit, you have a soul (free will, mind and emotions) and you dwell in a physical human body.

Anecdote For Today - It Grieved His Heart....

When the human population began to grow rapidly on the earth, the sons of YÁOHU Ulhím saw the beautiful women of the human race and took any they wanted for their wives.

Then YÁOHU Ulhím said, 'My 'RÚKHA' (Spirit) will not put up with humans for such a long time, for they are only mortal flesh. In the future, they will live no more than 120 years of age.'

In those days, and even afterward, giants lived on the earth, for whenever the sons of YÁOHU Ulhím had intercourse with human women, they gave birth to children who became the heroes mentioned in legends of old.

Now YÁOHU Ulhím observed the degree of the people's wickedness, and He observed that all their thoughts were continually and completely wicked.

YÁOHU Ulhím therefore was sorry He had ever created them.

It broke His heart.

And YÁOHU Ulhím said, 'I will completely wipe out this human race that I have created. Yes, and I will annihilate all the animals and birds, too. I deeply regret that I ever made them.'

But Nokh (Noah) found favor with YÁOHU Ulhím.

- Genesis 6:1-8, Holy Scriptures

Knowing YÁOHU Ulhím And His Rich Provisions For Me

Q.

What does it really refer to when the Scriptures mention the word 'conscience' in a person?

A.

The word 'conscience' is used in the New Testament a few times while its functions were assigned to the 'heart' in the Old Testament.

The term 'conscience' refers specifically to that inner witness in a person that urges him to do what he believes is right and not to do what he believes is wrong.

The conscience is the moral aspect in a person's mind which favors what is right and disapproves of what is wrong, insofar as what the person has been taught to believe.

Your conscience does not teach you what is right and what is wrong but it only reinforces and prods you behave based upon what you have been led to believe in regard to what is morally right and wrong.

A person might do something which in reality is morally wrong but in his conscience he may reckon that activity to be right if he has been taught early on that such is right and acceptable behavior; his conscience may approve based upon wrong information previously acquired.

That's why a person who is deceived, to him all the lies related to a particular deception appears to be all true in his own perception, and his conscience may even approve of it no matter how unscriptural or absurd the deception might be.

The deception that gee-ZEUS saves is one such example.

The conscience of an unsaved person serves as his guide in evaluating his thoughts, attitudes and behavior, and it may guide correctly, though sometimes it does not.

The conscience of an unsaved person is like an unreliable brake system in a car, which works most of the time but you can't fully depend on it to stop the car at all times; it may work this time and fail the next.

To the Yaohúshuahee (believer), the conscience serves as the inner witness to approve of what is scripturally right and disapprove of what is scripturally wrong.

Furthermore -

1.

The conscience urges the Yaohúshuahee to obey the government which YÁOHU Ulhím has put in place to protect him - Romans 13:5

2.

The conscience tells the Yaohúshuahee to bear up and endure suffering under the leadership of an unjust employer or other authority figure - 1 Káfos (Peter) 2:19

3.

The conscience of a weaker brother who does not eat meat sacrificed to idols should be respected by the more mature brother and not offend him - 1 Corinthians 8:7-12

4.

Conscience may be called to witness the real degree of depth and commitment of the Yaohúshuahee to his spiritual principles and convictions - Romans (9:2; II Corinthians 1:12 and 4:2)

'The goal of this command is love, which comes from a pure heart and a clear conscience and a genuine faith.' - 1 YÁOHU-tam (Timothy) 1:5

It is clear in the above passage that the Yaohúshuahee has basically three major goals in his lifetime spiritual walk:

1. To nurture love that comes from a pure heart;

2. To maintain a clear conscience;

3. And to have a genuine, enduring faith.

'So I endeavor always to keep my conscience clear before YÁOHU Ulhím and fellowmen.' - Acts 24:16

And what do you mean by having a 'clear conscience'?

Having a clear conscience is the antithesis of having a defiled, depraved or guilty conscience.

A defiled conscience is that condition of the conscience when it knows that its principles where violated.

A depraved conscience is that condition of the conscience which is beyond moral recuperation, that it has been become utterly corrupt and immoral through repeated reinforcements of wicked activities as acceptable and right.

A guilty conscience is that condition of the conscience when it knows and senses that punishment is deserved and is coming because it has been violated.

Opposite these is a 'clear conscience' which you and every Yaohúshuahee must always maintain before both YÁOHU Ulhím and with other people.

To have a 'clear conscience' is when no one can point an accusing finger at you claiming that you have offended him or her and that you haven't done anything about it.

In other words, it's having committed offenses and sins against YÁOHU Ulhím and others and not taking the necessary steps to clear them away.

When a Yaohúshuahee sins against YÁOHU Ulhím, he must quickly confess it to our heavenly YÁOHU Abihúl, ask for forgiveness and cleansing by means solely of the pure 'DAM' (blood) of our Savior and Sin Bearer - the Messiah YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY.

This is the only acceptable payment for sin in YÁOHU UL's sight: the 'DAM' (blood) of the Savior YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY; it is the only available cleansing agent in purifying us from our sins, in YÁOHU Ulhím's Kingdom.

You don't have to suffer for a few days every time you sin in attempts to support pay for your sins because ALL your sins were covered in the atoning sacrifice of our Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA.

You never must support Him pay for your sins by punishing yourself for a few days or a few weeks because that would be unscriptural.

Religion will convince people to pay for their sins.

Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA, our Sin Bearer, has paid for ALL our sins!

All sins of every Yaohúshuahee has been fully and freely paid for by our Savior YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY!

All you have to do is to RECEIVE and APPROPRIATE the available free forgiveness and cleansing from YÁOHU Abihúl every time you commit a sin.

After you have confessed your sins to YÁOHU Abihúl (our Father) and have received His forgiveness and cleansing, then you can walk free from the guilt and condemnation of those sins.

You no longer have to feel guilt and condemnation for a few days in attempts to support pay for your sins, that would only be trying hard to become very religious on your part but it would surely be unscriptural.

'And I will forgive their wrongdoings,
and I will never again remember their sins.'

- Hebrews 8:12, Holy Scriptures

So you need not unnecessarily suffer under guilt and condemnation every time you sin, if you quickly confess it and receive your forgiveness and cleansing from our YÁOHU UL Solkhán (Forgiving).

'There is now no more condemnation for those who belong to hol-MEHUSHKHÁY YAOHÚSHUA.' - Romans 8:1, Holy Scriptures

Now in regard to offenses committed against other people, you are required to heartily ask forgiveness from whoever you have really offended, and if they are believers, they are scripturally required to forgive quickly and freely, in the same manner our YÁOHU Abihúl forgives.

Having heartily asked forgiveness (and making restitution when possible), then you have done what is scripturally required of you.

Now you must walk free in the forgiveness which our Sin Bearer Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY has made available to you.

Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA came to give you life and life more enriched!

Walk in the freedom, happiness, excellent health and wealth which He has fully paid for and has given you for an inheritance!

When you do this, ha-satán cannot control your daily life.

You are now set free from all kinds of deception!

You are your spirit, you have a soul (free will, mind and emotions) and you dwell in a physical human body.

'If we claim we have no sin, we are only fooling ourselves and refusing to accept the truth. But if we confess our sins to Him, He is faithful and just to forgive us and to cleanse us from every wrong.

If we claim we do not sin, we are calling YÁOHU Ulhím a liar and showing that His word has really no place in our hearts.'

'Obey the government, for YÁOHU UL is He Who put it there. All governments have been put in power by YÁOHU UL.

Those who refuse to obey the laws of the land are therefore refusing to obey YÁOHU UL, and punishment will follow.

For the authorities do not frighten people who are doing right, but they frighten those who do wrong. So do what they say, and you will get along well.

The authorities are sent by YÁOHU UL to support you.

But if you are doing something wrong, of course you should be afraid, for you will be punished. The authorities are established by YÁOHU UL for this very purpose:

To punish those who do wrong!

So you must obey the government for two reasons:

To keep from being punished, and

To maintain a clear conscience.' - Romans 13:1-5, Holy Scriptures

Anecdote For Today - Appeal From A Clean Conscience....

Remember, it is better to suffer for doing what is right, if that is what YÁOHU UL wants, than to suffer for doing wrong!

Hol-MEHUSHKHÁY (the Messiah) also suffered when He died for our sins once for all time.

He never sinned, but He died for sinners that He might bring us safely home to YÁOHU UL.

He suffered physical death, but He was raised to life in the 'RÚKHA' (Spirit). So He went and proclaimed to the spirits in prison - those who disobeyed YÁOHU UL long ago when YÁOHU UL waited patiently while Nokh was building his ark.

Only eight people were saved from drowning in that terrible flood.

And this is a picture of baptism, which now saves you by the power of the resurrection of YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY.

Baptism is not a removal of dirt from your body; it is an appeal to YÁOHU UL from a clean conscience!

Now hol-MEHUSHKHÁY has gone to heaven. He sits upon the place of honor next to YÁOHU UL, and all the angels and authorities and powers are bowing before Him.

Q.

What does it really refer to when the Scriptures mention the word 'mind' of a person?

A.

The word 'mind' is predominantly a New Testament concept and the word 'heart' (Hebrew: lev) is usually the root word behind the translation 'mind' in the Old Testament.

The word 'mind' refers to the functions of a person's brain in perceiving, evaluating, analyzing, determining, comprehending and rendering conclusions or decisions.

There is a physical mind and there is also a spiritual mind.

The mind of an unsaved person is described in the Holy Scriptures as being:

1. Reprobate -

incapable of thinking what is really morally right - Romans 1:28

2. Vain -

useless; worthless; futile and unsuccessful - Ephesians 4:17

3. Defiled -

unclean; impure and corrupt, unholy - Titus 1:15

4. Blinded -

deceived; cannot perceive; sightless unable to discern and differentiate correctly - 2 Corinthians 4:4

5. Darkened -

clouded; contaminated; and bereft of sufficient light - Ephesians 4:18

6. Dense -

lacks critical abilities; cannot evaluate properly; insensitive to what are important - Romans 3:11

On the other hand, the functions of the physical 'mind' in the life of a Yaohúshuahee (believer) are as follows:

1.

To perceive and comprehend scriptural truths - Luke 24:45; 1 Corinthians 14:14-15

2.

To evaluate and render right conclusions when it comes to doubtful matters - Romans 14:5

3.

To pursue holiness by avoiding wickedness - 1 Káfos (Peter) 1:13

4.

To know and comprehend what YÁOHU Ulhím's perfect will is - Ephesians 5:17

5.

To be used fully in loving YÁOHU Ulhím - - Man-YÁOHU (Matthew) 22:37

6.

To always submit to the revealed knowledge and wisdom of YÁOHU Ulhím - 2 Corinthians 10:5

Upon conversion to the faith of Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA, your inner person, or your spirit, is regenerated - given a new birth from above and is actually reborn in the image of Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY, performed by the operation of the 'RÚKHA hol-HODSHÚA' (Sanctified Spirit of YÁOHU Ulhím) within you.

Looking from the outside, your physical body remains the same even after conversion, or healed when applicable, even though your inner spirit has been regenerated.

Your soul (mind, emotions and free will) remains intact though and unchanged upon conversion.

After conversion then begins the process of Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA (with the 'RÚKHA hol-HODSHÚA' for His agent here on earth) in nurturing you until you reach full spiritual maturity and transforming your mind until it becomes fully conformed to the mind of Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA.

'We have the mind of Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA' - is the full potential condition of your mind, yet this must be appropriated into your daily life gradually, from glory to glory, as your mind is being renewed by the Word day by day, again through the teaching abilities of the indwelling 'RÚKHA hol-HODSHÚA.'

Your mind must be renewed by regularly reading the Word and by your continual dependence upon the teaching services of the indwelling 'RÚKHA hol-HODSHÚA' and His appointed Oholyáo (Congregation) teachers.

Your mind has to be taught the Word so it will begin to really see the light and acquire clear comprehension.

That's why it is so vital in the life of the Yaohúshuahee to always be in the Word daily, regularly and fully meditating upon the Word, learning the Word, practicing it and living it.

You must be led by the 'RÚKHA hol-HODSHÚA' daily and be actually living and DOING His Word, precepts and commands.

When you do this, ha-satán cannot control your daily life.

You are now set free from all kinds of deception!

You are your spirit, you have a soul (mind, emotions and free will) and you dwell in a physical human body.

Scriptural Basis -

'Don't imitate the behavior and customs of this world, but let YÁOHU UL transform you into a new person by changing the way you think.

Then you will know what YÁOHU UL wants you to do, and you will know how noble and pleasing and perfect His will really is.'

'I appeal to you, brethren, 'Ol Shúam' (in the Name of) Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY, that all of you agree with one another in order that there may be no divisions among you and that you may be perfectly united in mind and thought.' - 1 Corinthians 1:10, Holy Scriptures

Knowing YÁOHU Ulhím And His Rich Provisions For Me

Q.

What does the word 'flesh' refer to in the Holy Scriptures?

A.

The word 'flesh' as found in the Holy Scriptures may either refer to the physical body of man or the immaterial, carnal and sinful nature that is inbred in his body as a negative consequence of Adam's rebellion and fall.

It is sometimes used to refer to the physical tissue of man (Luke 24:39) or to the whole material part of a person.

When it is used to refer to the immaterial part of man, it points to that inborn inclination in every person to sin and to oppose YÁOHU Ulhím.

In other words, the 'flesh' is that inbred rebellious nature in a person with all its sensual, lustful and self-focused passions.

The flesh always seeks to domineer, to control and to command its passions, wants and cravings to the whole person, regardless of whether it is moral, beneficial, correct or not.

The flesh is domineering, rebellious and is stupid.

Whatever it has been accustomed to do by nature, or by repeated use, it does so unwittingly and irrationally.

When the flesh is trained to smoke, to drink, to overeat, oversleep or to consume illicit drugs, it acquires these bad habits with slight difficulty at first but then it becomes addicted and continues in bondage even if these are harmful activities to itself.

That's why the flesh is stupid because it commands and craves even for things or activities which are harmful to itself.

The unsaved person is predominantly controlled and enslaved by the passions and cravings of the flesh.

Examples of these are: sexual immorality, impure thoughts, eagerness for lustful pleasure, idolatry, participation in demonic activities, hostility, quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, divisions, envy, drunkenness, wild parties and other kinds of sin.

The only thing that an unsaved person has in him to combat the stupid passions of the flesh is his will power, with his conscience as guide and nothing more.

The unsaved person, by will power, may be able to subdue some but not all the sinful cravings of the flesh, and not permanently.

When a person becomes spiritually reborn upon genuine conversion, both the physical and immaterial part of his body remains unchanged, the flesh remains intact, yet he begins to acquire the dynamic power from the 'RÚKHA hol-HODSHÚA' to subdue the sinful cravings of the sinful nature.

The believer is rendered 'dead to sin' - which means that though the sinful nature may remain in his fleshy body, yet its power and controlling dominion over the Yaohúshuahee is reckoned to have been crushed by means of the death of Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA on the stake.

Sin has no more power of the Yaohúshuahee, it no longer has the right to domineer and control his life.

The indwelling presence of the 'RÚKHA hol-HODSHÚA' in the Yaohúshuahee provides more than sufficient arsenal to combat the rebellious and stubborn promptings of the sinful flesh.

We know now that the inherent inclination of the flesh is to rebel and oppose YÁOHU Ulhím and resist His will.

On the other hand, the spirit in you is that part of you which seeks to be in fellowship with your Eternal Creator, YÁOHU Ulhím, and to obey His will.

You spirit is that part in you that is Creator-seeking and is Creator-aware, the part that seeks life eternal.

When the 'RÚKHA hol-HODSHÚA' is in control of our lives, He will yield this kind of fruit in us: love, calm delight, peace, patience, kindness, being noble, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. These are what is commonly called to be the 'fruit' of the 'RÚKHA hol-HODSHÚA' (Spirit).

The inclination of the sinful flesh is to oppose the desires of the 'RÚKHA hol-HODSHÚA' and of your spirit that has been subjected under His control and influence.

Who wins the internal conflict between your flesh and your spirit?

It depends on which part you regularly feed and by how much food you give it, and whom you obey and submit to.

The food of your spirit is the Word of YÁOHU Ulhím.

The more you read the Word, the more food is given your spirit, the more vigorous, wise, powerful and victorious you become spiritually.

That is why to go without food (fast) for a day or two, coupled with reading of the Word, gives much power and vigor to your spirit because it feeds the spirit while it denies the cravings of the flesh.

Aside from physical food, the food of the flesh is when you give way to its cravings and passions. It somewhat reinforces them in the flesh.

Each time you obey the commands of your domineering flesh, the more you feed its passions and cravings.

And each time you subdue and refuse to do its sinful passions and desires, the weaker the inclination of the flesh becomes until it no longer has any controlling influence over you at all. It has been rendered powerless and crushed, experientially.

Whatever is not fed dies eventually, whether it be fish in the aquarium, the plants in your backyard, the house pets and everything else which needs food to survive.

Likewise, bad habits, addictions and lusts which are not fed, so to speak (or not reinforced) will eventually weaken, die and disappear.

But you can only permanently subdue the cravings of the sinful flesh by the power of the indwelling 'RÚKHA hol-HODSHÚA' - and not in your own ability.

You need the fruit of self-control from the 'RÚKHA hol-HODSHÚA' (together with the other facets of the fruit) in order to win against the domineering demands of your sinful flesh.

You no longer have to obey the commands of your sinful flesh. It has been rendered powerless over you by our Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA.

Nothing and no one can force you to obey the commands of your sinful flesh.

All you have to do now is to walk in the freedom which our Messiah YAOHÚSHUA bought for you and in your behalf, that you may freely and happily delight in being always in close fellowship with YÁOHU Abihúl (our Father) and in doing His will.

YÁOHU Abihúl wants you to always walk under the leading, power and persuasive influence of the indwelling 'RÚKHA hol-HODSHÚA' and no longer in slavery to the sinful flesh.

'Those who are led by the 'RÚKHA-YÁOHU' (Sanctified Spirit) they are the children of YÁOHU UL.' - Romans 8:14

So from now on, you will diligently nurture your spirit by the Word until full maturation, and always walk under the leading of the indwelling 'RÚKHA hol-HODSHÚA' and you will no longer obey the stupid commands of the sinful flesh.

When you do this, ha-satán cannot control your daily life.

You are now set free from all kinds of lusts and addictions!

You are your spirit, you have a soul (mind, emotions and free will) and you dwell in a fleshy human body.

Scriptural Basis -

So I advise you to live according to your new life in the 'RÚKHA hol-HODSHÚA' (Sanctified Spirit). Then you won't be doing what your sinful nature craves. The old sinful nature lusts to do evil, which is just opposite from what the 'RÚKHA hol-HODSHÚA' wants.

And the 'RÚKHA' (Spirit) gives us desires that are opposite from what the sinful nature craves for. These two forces are continually fighting each other, and your preferences (choices, decisions) are never free from this conflict.

But when you are directed by the 'RÚKHA hol-HODSHÚA' (Sanctified Spirit), you are no longer subject to the law.

When you follow the desires of your sinful nature, your lives will manifest these evil results: sexual immorality, impure thoughts, eagerness for lustful pleasure, idolatry, participation in demonic activities, hostility, quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, divisions, heresies, envy, drunkenness, wild parties and other kinds of sin similar to these.

Let me tell you again, as I have before, that anyone living that sort of life will not inherit the Kingdom of YÁOHU UL.

But when the 'RÚKHA hol-HODSHÚA' controls our lives, He will yield this kind of fruit in us: love, calm delight, peace, patience, kindness, nobility, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Here there is no conflict with the law.

Your Nuggets Of Wisdom For Today -

Don't you realize that whatever you decide to obey becomes your boss? You can decide to favor sin, which leads to death, or you can decide to obey YÁOHU UL and receive His approval.

'Hodayáo' (thanks) to YÁOHU UL! Once you were slaves of sin, but now you have obeyed with all your heart the new teaching YÁOHU UL has given you.

Now you are free from sin, your old boss, and you have become slaves to your new boss, uprightness. I speak this way, using the example of slaves and bosses, because it is easy to comprehend.

Before, you let yourselves be slaves of impurity and lawlessness. Now you must decide to be slaves of uprightness in order that you will become holy.

In those days, when you were slaves of sin, you weren't concerned with doing what was right. And what was the result? It was not pleasant, since now you are ashamed of the activities you used to do, activities that lead to eternal doom.

But now you are free from the power of sin and have become slaves of YÁOHU UL. Now you do those activities that lead to holiness and results to life eternal.

For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of YÁOHU UL is life eternal through hol-MEHUSHKHÁY YAOHÚSHUA our Molkhiúl.

Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA declared -

'Beware of false prophets who come disguised as harmless sheep, but are really wolves that will tear you apart. You can detect them by the way they behave, just as you can identify a tree by its fruit.

You don't pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles. A healthy tree yields delectable fruit, and an unhealthy tree yields bad fruit.

A healthy tree can't yield bad fruit, and a bad tree can't yield delectable fruit.

So every tree that does not yield delectable fruit is chopped down and thrown into the fire.

Yes, the way to identify a tree or a person is by the kind of fruit that it bears.

Not all people who sound religious are really holy. They may refer to me as 'Lord' but they still won't enter the Kingdom of Heaven.

The decisive issue is whether they obey My YÁOHU ABí (Father) in heaven.

On judgment Day many will tell me, 'Lord, lord, we prophesied in Your name and cast out demons in Your name and performed many miracles in Your name.'

But I will reply, 'I never knew you. Go away; the things you did were all unauthorized.'

Knowing YÁOHU Ulhím And His Rich Provisions For Me

Q.

What does the word 'will' really mean when found in the Holy Scriptures?

A.

The word 'will' as found in the Holy Scriptures refers to that immaterial part of you which has the freedom to select, to prefer, intent, purpose, to wish out of your own volition or voluntary inclination.

YÁOHU Ulhím has given each individual his or her own free will and He never violates any person's free will.

You may willfully decide to do what is right or what is morally wrong.

You can purposely will to spend your eternity with Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA or you can will to go to hell if you really want to, in both cases YÁOHU Ulhím will fully respect the free exercise of your will and He won't violate that.

YÁOHU Ulhím wants that our will must be in harmony and fully submissive to His own perfect will, that we live our lives according to His way and that we align our own free will to His revealed perfect will.

When we align our own free will with YÁOHU Ulhím's perfect will, then leave open all opportunities for Him likewise freely reward us and we therefore continually receive His kind favors, benefits and support.

Anyone who goes against the revealed will of YÁOHU Ulhím, on the other hand, will become disappointed, miserable and sorrowful in this life.

Your will is one of the most forceful influences in your whole being yet it can be made subject to the direction and control of your mind and conscience.

You may use your will to serve and glorify yourself with your selfish ambitions and motives, or you may use it to serve and glorify YÁOHU Ulhím, our eternal Creator, deservedly.

The more you seek your own life and self-interests, the more you will lose them; the more you give up your own life for the sake of Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA, the more you will find your own real life.

We must be always on guard against giving expression or acting out our wrong wills because Hillél (Lucifer) was punished for using his self-will in rebelling against YÁOHU Ulhím, the Most High.

'I will never forget what he did to me,' is one example of a bitter, unbroken will.

'I will do it my way,' is another bad example of a will gone selfishly mad.

'I will do whatever I want to do,' is a common example of a stubborn, self-focused will that worships itself.

'I will decide what to do; no one can tell me what to do, this is a free country,' is another expression of a will that is in a direct collision path with the revealed will of YÁOHU Ulhím in His Word.

YÁOHU Ulhím wants us to always voluntarily, freely, wholly and gladly submit our will to His perfect will in order that we will receive His best for our lives, according to His unique plan for each and everyone of us.

Similar to the noble example that Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA showed us to imitate, we should always decide to prefer doing YÁOHU Ulhím's perfect will, not our own, no matter how much we feel like doing it our way, no matter how reasonable it seems to do it our way, and even if no one else around actually does it YÁOHU Ulhím's way.

Obey YÁOHU Ulhím's perfect will at all times!

When you do this, ha-satán cannot control your daily life.

You are now set free from all kinds of self-willfulness!

You are your spirit, you have a soul (mind, emotions and free will) and you dwell in a fleshy human body.

Scriptural Basis -

Then, accompanied by the disciples, YAOHÚSHUA left the upper room and went as usual to the Mount of Olives.

There He told them, 'Pray that you will not be overcome by temptation.'

He walked away, a bit afar-off, and knelt down and prayed,

'YÁOHU ABí (Father), if You are willing, please take this cup of suffering away from Me.

Yet I want to do Your will, not Mine.'

Then an angel from heaven appeared and reinvigorated Him.

He prayed more fervently, and He was in such agony of spirit that His sweat fell to the ground like big drops of blood.

Finally, He rose up again and returned to the disciples, only to find them asleep, tired from grief.

'Why are you sleeping?' He asked. 'Get up and pray. Otherwise temptation will overpower you.'

But people who long to be rich fall into temptation and are trapped by many stupid and harmful desires that plunge them into ruin and calamity.

For the lust for money is at the root of all kinds of evil.

And some people, craving money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many sorrows.'

You are doing this already, and we encourage you to do so more and more.

For you remember what we taught you 'Ol Shúam' (in the Name of) Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA.

YÁOHU UL wants you to be holy, so you should keep clear of all kinds of sexual sin.

Then each of you will control your body and live in holiness and honor - not in lustful passion like the pagans do, in their ignorance of YÁOHU UL and His ways.

Never cheat a Yaohúshuahee brother in this matter by taking his wife, for YÁOHU UL avenges all such sins, as we have solemnly warned you before.

YÁOHU UL has called us to be holy, not to live impure lives.

Anyone who refuses to live by these rules is not disobeying human rules but is rejecting YÁOHU UL, Who gives His 'RÚKHA hol-HODSHÚA' (Sanctified Spirit of YÁOHU Ulhím) to you.

I will make myself like the Most High!'

But on the contrary, you will be brought down to the place of the dead, down to its lowest depths.

Everyone there will gloat at you and ask, 'Can this be the one who shook the earth and the kingdoms of the world?

Is this really the one who ruined the world and made it into a wilderness?

Is this the king who demolished the world's greatest cities and had no mercy on his captives?'

The kings of the nations lie in pompous glory in their tombs, but you will be thrown out of your grave like a worthless branch.

Like a corpse trampled underfoot, you will be dumped into a mass grave with those killed in battle.

You will descend to the pit.

- Yaoshúa-YÁOHU (Isaiah) 14:12-19, Holy Scriptures

Knowing YÁOHU Ulhím And His Rich Provisions For Me

Q.

What then should I do with my mind, emotions, flesh, heart and soul?

A.

You are responsible and accountable to YÁOHU UL for everything that you do, upright or bad, as well as for the activities that each part of your whole person actually engages in.

Being a child of YÁOHU ABí (Father), He expects you to always be in His perfect will, in close fellowship with Him and walking under the control, influence and power of His 'RÚKHA hol-HODSHÚA' (Sanctified Spirit).

YÁOHU ABí wants that you always make sure that your mind is filled with His Word and is always in agreement with what He has declared in the Scriptures.

YÁOHU ABí wants you to look at every person and at each event and react in ways that are similar to what Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA would in the same set of conditions.

Never allow your mind to become idle or empty because an idle mind is the workshop of the enemy. Your mind must always be filled with the Words of YÁOHU Ulhím and other positive thoughts related to them.

A positive, victorious, prosperous, peaceful and happy life comes from a positive and Word-filled mind.

The same holds true with your feelings and emotions.

We have learned before that upon conversion, your emotions remain the same, they continue to be with you and they don't disappear, although you have become a new person inside spiritually.

But because the 'RÚKHA hol-HODSHÚA' is now indwelling you, you now are given the desire, power and enablement to subdue negative and ruinous feelings and emotions.

When negative emotions such as lust, envy, anger, jealousy or vengeance come, YÁOHU ABí expects you to subdue them by the power of His 'RÚKHA hol-HODSHÚA' indwelling.

You are not your emotions. You now have the ability to refuse their taking control of you; you reject their wicked cravings and passions, and you do not obey their domineering demands and commands.

You are now solely controlled by the 'RÚKHA-YAOHÚSHUA' Who dwells inside of you, to support, teach, guide and empower you.

Regarding your will, YÁOHU ABí expects that you always submit your free will under His perfect will, in order that He could continue showering you with His favors, provisions, support, rewardsings and mercy.

And so He could continue to safekeep and protect you from the tempter, the evil one.

It is always best for you to keep a close watch over your heart because it is the wellspring of your life.

And always remember that YÁOHU Ulhím, your Eternal Creator, is the power, vigor and energy of your heart!

Watch what you are thinking about, making sure they're always positive and in line with the Word; subdue negative emotions and act only upon positive, beneficial emotions, and make sure your will is fully submitted to YÁOHU Ulhím's perfect will at all times.

When you do this, ha-satán cannot control your daily life.

You are now set free from all kinds of demonic influences!

You are your spirit, you have a soul (mind, emotions and free will) and you dwell in a fleshy human body.

Scriptural Basis -

'I advise you to obey the voice of the 'RÚKHA hol-HODSHÚA.'

He will tell you where to go and what to do, and then you won't always be doing the wrong things your evil nature wants you to.

For we naturally love to do evil activities that are just the opposite from those deeds that the 'RÚKHA hol-HODSHÚA' tells us to do.

And the upright deeds we want to do when the 'RÚKHA' (Spirit) has His way with us are just the opposite of our natural desires.

These two forces within us are continually fighting contrary to one another to win control over us, and our wishes are never free from their internal pressures.

When you are guided by the 'RÚKHA hol-HODSHÚA' you need no longer force yourself to obey YAOHÚ-dim laws.

But when you follow your own wrong inclinations your lives will yield these evil results: impure thoughts, eagerness for lustful pleasures, idolatry, spiritism (that is, encouraging the activity of demons), hatred and fighting, jealousy and anger, continual effort to get the best for yourself, complaints and criticisms, factions and divisions - and there will be wrong doctrine, envy, murder, drunkenness, wild parties and all that sort of sin.

Let me tell you again as I have before, that anyone living that sort of life will not inherit the Kingdom of YÁOHU UL.

But when the 'RÚKHA hol-HODSHÚA' controls our lives He will yield this kind of fruit in us: love, calm delight, peace, patience, kindness, rectitude, faithfulness, meekness and self-control; and there is no conflict with YAOHÚ-dim laws in this.

Those who belong to ha-MEHUSHKHÁY have nailed their natural evil desires to His stake and impaled them there.

If we are living now by the power of 'RÚKHA hol-HODSHÚA' (Sanctified Spirit), let us follow the leading of the 'RÚKHA hol-HODSHÚA' in every part of our lives.'

- Galatians 5:16-25, Holy Scriptures

Your Scripture-Engrafting and Contemplation Passages for Today -

'So put to death the sinful, earthly cravings lurking within you.

Have nothing to do with sexual sin, impurity, lust, together with its shameful desires.

Don't be greedy for the alluring things of this world, for that is idolatry.

YÁOHU UL's fierce anger will come upon those who do such.

You used to do them when your life was part of this world.

But now is the time to get rid of anger, rage, wicked behavior, slander and dirty language.

Don't lie to each other, for you have rid yourself of your old evil nature and all its wicked deeds.

In its place you have clothed yourselves with a brand-new nature that is continually being renewed as you learn more and more about hol-MEHUSHKHÁY, Who created this new nature within you.

In this new life, it doesn't matter if you are a YAOHÚ-di or a Gentile, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbaric, uncivilized, slave or free.

Hol-MEHUSHKHÁY is all that matters, and He lives in all of us.'

'Anyone who calls on the Shúam (Name) of YÁOHU UL will be saved.' - Romans 10:13, Holy Scriptures

Your Nuggets Of Wisdom For Today -

'Since YÁOHU UL selected you to be the holy people whom He loves, you must clothe yourselves with tenderhearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.

You must make allowance for each other's faults and forgive the person who offends you. Remember, YÁOHU UL forgave you, so you must also forgive others.

And the most important piece of clothing you must wear is love.

Love is what binds us all together in perfect harmony.

And let the peace that comes from hol-MEHUSHKHÁY rule in your hearts.

For as members of one body you are all called to live in peace.

And always be grateful.'

Knowing YÁOHU Ulhím And His Rich Provisions For Me

Q.

Why is it important to guard my thought-life?

A.

Because wherever your mind goes, your whole person eventually follows, too.

A person with a scatterbrain will live a wayward life.

A person with a negative mindset will have a negative life.

A person with a confused mind will live a confused life.

A person with a positive mindset will have a positive life.

And so on and so forth, as there are many different kinds of mindsets, likewise there are different life experiences.

An idle mind is an empty mind, waiting for negative thoughts to be implanted by the enemy. It is like a mind that is open to the wicked suggestions from the devil.

It is vital therefore that you examine every thought that tries to enter your mind and make sure that each is a positive, noble, praiseworthy, admirable, true and positive thought or idea, well-pleasing in YÁOHU Ulhím's sight.

Every thought must be in line with the Word, and must be examined and scrutinized if so.

YÁOHU Ulhím wants that you always meditate upon His Word in your mind so whenever an idea or thought comes that is contrary to what He said, you will be able to quickly identify and reject it because you already have something in your mind to compare and evaluate it with.

You have the ability to select what thoughts or ideas you would allow to dwell in your mind. You may decide to think on the Word or other positive thoughts, or contrariwise, you may decide to dwell on negative and evil thoughts.

Your whole person and life will eventually move in the direction wherever you allow your mind to go to.

Developing positive thought patterns takes time and continual, everyday practice.

By the power and support of the indwelling 'RÚKHA hol-HODSHÚA' you can now begin to train your mind to think on positive, well-meaning, scriptural thoughts, and break away from old, negative thought patterns.

You have been set free from having negative mental attitudes, because now you have the mind of Molkhiúl YAOHUSHUA in you!

So always check what you're thinking about at every moment!

When you do this, ha-satán cannot control your daily life.

You are now set free from all kinds of negative mindsets!

You are your spirit, you have a soul (mind, emotions and free will) and you dwell in a fleshy human body.

Scriptural Basis -

Exult upon YÁOHU Ulhím always.

I will say it again: Exult!

Let your gentleness be evident to all.

YÁOHU Ulhím is close by.

Do not be upset about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with expressions of gratefulness, present humbly your requests to YÁOHU Ulhím.

And the peace of YÁOHU Ulhím, which transcends all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in hol-MEHUSHKHÁY YAOHÚSHUA.

Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable - if anything is excellent or praiseworthy - think about such matters.

Anecdote For Today - Minding The Things Of....

YAOHÚSHUA and His disciples went on to the villages around Caesarea Philippi.

On the way He asked them, 'Who do people say I am?'

They replied, 'Some say YÁOHU-khánam the Baptist; others say Uli-YÁOHU; and others say, one of the prophets.'

'But what about you?' He asked. 'Who do you say I am?'

Káfos answered, 'You are the Messiah - Hol-MEHUSHKHÁY!'

YAOHÚSHUA warned them not to tell anyone about Him.

He then began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, chief priests and teachers of the law, and that He must be killed and after three days rise again.

He spoke plainly about this, and Káfos took Him aside and began to rebuke Him.

But when YAOHÚSHUA turned and looked at His disciples, He rebuked Káfos.

'Get behind Me, ha-satán!' He said. 'You do not have in mind the things of YÁOHU UL, but the things of men.'

Then He called the crowd to Him along with His disciples and said:

'If anyone would come after Me, he must deny himself and take up his stake and follow Me.

For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for Me and for the Glorious Message will save it.

What benefit is it for a person to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul?

Or what can a person give in exchange for his soul?

If anyone is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him, too, when He comes in the glory of His YÁOHU ABí (Father) with the holy angels.'

- Mark 8:27-38, Holy Scriptures

Knowing YÁOHU Ulhím And His Rich Provisions For Me

Q.

What else should I guard against in my thought life?

A.

Well, you must set a continual watch on your mind to guard against wicked imaginations.

Do you know that imagining events is actually planning in disguise?

Yes, when you imagine negative events and dire predicaments in your mind, you are actually preparing and planning for such eventualities in your life upon which your faith is anchored, expectant and fixated.

You will eventually do what you have 'imagined' or planned in your mind, whether upright or bad.

Someone who commits adultery does not do it right at that very moment, but he has already committed it in his mind, long before the actual adulterous act is carried out, for he has visualized and prepared for that eventuality in the imagination of his mind.

A person who actually commits a crime or any other wicked activity has repeatedly rehearsed the act in the imagination of his mind, whether fully aware or not, even before he does it.

What you regularly imagine and prepare for, even if unaware, will actualize in your own life eventually.

So always be careful of what you are imagining about!

Because imagining is actually planning.

The images and visions in your imagination may be of your own making or supplied by outside means such as scenes from television, movies, magazines and other media.

Or the thoughts and images in your mind may be based upon the Holy Words of YÁOHU Ulhím.

You select and decide which kind of imagination you will give permission to dwell in your own mind.

Whatever you permit is allowed in your life, and whatever you reject is not allowed in your life. It's as simple as that.

Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA declared: 'If you keep close to Me and My words remain in you, you may ask any request you like, and it will be granted!' - YÁOHU-khánam (John) 15:7

So from now on, you must be very vigilant against negative, gory, sensual, sickly, violent, horrific, wicked, lustful and lewd imaginations and never, never give them permission to dwell in your mind.

It is also wise for you to reject thoughts which dwell on poverty, lack, failure, disappointment and defeat.

And you must let the Words of YÁOHU Ulhím continually fill your mind and allow only honest, pure, noble and clean thoughts and imaginations to dwell and remain, abide and be retained in it.

Always guard your thought life, put a very secure fence around it always, same way you guard any valuable asset because wherever your mind goes, your whole person, your life and your future will eventually follow, too.

Do not imagine events and predicaments which you do not like to happen in your life.

It's your life and only you will experience its bitterness or wholesome delight, depending on what you decide upon.

Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA came to give you life and life more enriched!

Claim it and let His life be released manifest right in your own daily life.

Quickly expel every vain and wicked imagination the moment it attempts to dwell in your mind.

You take control of your own mind and do not let the enemy portray or suggest subtly to your mind his wicked plans.

Let YÁOHU Ulhím's plan for you today happen, not the enemy's plan or recommendation into the imagination.

When you do this, ha-satán cannot control your daily life.

You are now set free from all kinds of wicked imagination!

You are your spirit, you have a soul (mind, emotions and free will) and you dwell in a fleshy human body.

Scriptural Basis -

'For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but are mighty through YÁOHU Ulhím to the dismantling of fortresses.

We reject and expel imaginations, and every proud idea that exalts itself against the knowledge of YÁOHU Ulhím, and we bring every thought captive to the obedience of ha-MEHUSHKHÁY (the Messiah).'

It is best to completely depend upon the 'RÚKHA hol-HODSHÚA' to always support you guard your mind and never rely upon your own puny abilities, comprehension and self-determination.

Anecdote For Today - Their Vain Imaginations....

YÁOHU UL shows His anger from heaven against all sinful, evil people who push away the truth from themselves.

For the truth about YÁOHU UL is inbornly known to them; YÁOHU UL has put this knowledge in their hearts.

Since earliest times people have seen the earth and sky and all YÁOHU UL made, and have known of His being alive and of His great eternal power.

So they will have no excuse when they arise before YÁOHU UL at Judgment Day.

Yes, they knew about Him all right, but they wouldn't admit it or worship Him or even express their gratefulness to Him for all His daily care.

And after awhile they began to think up silly ideas of what YÁOHU UL was like and what He wanted them to do.

The result of their vain imaginations was that their stupid minds became depraved, dark and confused.

Claiming themselves to be wise, without YÁOHU UL, they became utter fools, on the contrary. And then, in place of worshiping the glorious, ever-living YÁOHU UL, they took wood and 'éban' (s-one) and made idols for themselves, carving them to look like mere birds and animals and snakes and feeble men.

YÁOHU UL therefore let them go ahead into every sort of sex sin, and do whatever they wanted to - yes, vile and sinful activities with each other's bodies.

In place of believing what they knew was the truth about YÁOHU UL, they deliberately preferred to believe lies. So they prayed to those which YÁOHU UL made, but wouldn't obey the magnificent YÁOHU UL Who made everything.

That is why YÁOHU UL let go of them and let them do all these evil activities, so even their women turned against YÁOHU UL's natural plan for them and indulged in sexual sin with one another.

And the men, in place of having a normal sexual relations with women, burned with lust for each other, men doing shameful activities with other men and, as a result, getting paid within their own souls with the penalty they so richly deserved.

So it was that when they gave YÁOHU UL up and would not even acknowledge Him, YÁOHU UL gave them up to doing everything their evil minds could think of.

Their lives became full of every kind of wickedness and sin, of greed and hate, envy, murder, quarreling, lying, bitterness and gossip.

They were backbiters, haters of YÁOHU UL, insolent, proud braggarts, always imagining new and different ways of committing sins and continually being disobedient to their parents.

They tried to miscomprehend, broke their vows and promises, and were heartless - without pity.

They were fully aware of YÁOHU UL's death penalty for these crimes, yet they went right ahead and did them anyway, and encouraged others to do them, too.

Answer:
R

This is one of the common examples of negative thoughts inside the psyche of a person with a suspicious mind.

A person with a suspicious mind always thinks of the evil that others may do, or the harm that they may cause to him.

A suspicious mind is a type of a negative and ruinous mindset.

It corrupts mutual love, it ruins harmony and it poisons mutual confidence and trust.

A suspicious person suspects anyone and everything, and it would be difficult to please a suspicious individual because he colors everything he sees with evil and malice.

He interprets events, remarks and behavior of people in a sordid, malevolent and nasty way.

Offer him a drink and he suspects it's contaminated.

Give him a gift, and he suspects it's a bribe for something you want from him.

Tell her you love her and she suspects that it's only sex that you really want from her.

A suspicious person even doubts and suspects YÁOHU Ulhím, that He won't come through with His promises.

A person with a suspicious mind lives a miserable, lonely and fear-based life, always doubting, always suspecting and never at peace with anyone.

He suspects his spouse, his children, his higher authorities and everyone else at home, at work and in public places.

A suspicious person is actually an 'unbeliever' at heart, always doubting, always second-guessing.

It is hard living with a person who has a suspicious mind.

What is the remedy?

Complete trust upon YÁOHU Ulhím!

Fully trust YÁOHU Ulhím that He will safekeep, protect and defend you against all evil and harm.

YÁOHU Ulhím is your best shield! No harm shall befall those who truly depend upon Him for safety and protection.

YÁOHU Ulhím commanded us to love (not suspect) our fellowmen.

Love believes the best, the noble in others.

We are believers, we are not doubters.

So if this thought ever attempts to enter your mind, you must quickly REJECT it and replace with positive thoughts of trust, confidence and dependence upon YÁOHU Ulhím that He always safekeeps and protects you and your loved ones from all kinds of harm and temptation.

Then pray to YÁOHU Ulhím affirming your confidence in His protection and continual care for everyone in your family.

When you do this, ha-satán cannot control your life!

Anecdote For Today - Woe To The Unbelieving....

Ulishúa replied, 'YÁOHU Ulhím declares that by this time tomorrow two gallons of flour or four gallons of barley grain will be sold within the markets of Shuamor-YÁOHU for only four shekalím!'

The officer in support of the king said, 'That couldn't happen even if YÁOHU Ulhím made windows in the sky!'

But Ulishúa replied, 'You will see it happen, but you won't be able to buy any of it!'

Now there were four lepers who sat by outside the city gates.

'Why do we sit idly here until we die?' they asked each other. 'We will die of hunger if we remain here and we will die of hunger if we go back into the city; so we might as well go out and surrender to the Syrian army. If they let us live, so much the better; but if they kill us, we would have died anyway.'

That evening therefore they went out to the camp of the Syrians, but there was not one person over there!

(For YÁOHU Ulhím had made the whole Syrian army hear the clatter of speeding chariots and a loud galloping of horses and the sounds of a huge army approaching.

'The king of Yaoshorúl has hired the Hittites and Egyptians to attack us,' they cried out. So they panicked and fled into the night, abandoning their tents, horses, donkeys, and everything else.)

When the lepers arrived at the edge of the camp they went into one tent after another, eating, drinking wine, and carrying out silver, gold, clothing and hiding them. Finally they said to each other -

'This isn't all right. This is an amazing event and we aren't sharing it with anyone! Even if we wait until morning, some terrible calamity will surely fall upon us; come on, let's go back and tell the people at the palace.'

So they went back to the city and told the watchmen what had happened - they had gone out to the Syrian camp and no one was there! The horses and donkeys were tethered and the tents were all in order, but there was not a soul around. Then the watchmen hollered the report to those in the palace.

The king rose out of bed and told his officers, 'I know what has happened. The Syrians know we are going hungry, so they have left their camp and have hidden in the fields, thinking that we will be lured out of the city. Then they will attack us and make slaves of us and get in.'

One of his officers replied, 'We'd better send out scouts to see. Let them take five of the remaining horses - if something happens to the animals it won't be any greater loss compared to their remaining here and dying with the rest of us!'

Four chariot-horses were found and the king sent two charioteers to see where the Syrians had gone. They followed a trail of clothing and equipment all the way to the Yardayán River - thrown away by the Syrians in their haste.

The scouts returned and told the king, and the people of Shuamor-YÁOHU rushed to go out and they plundered the camp of the Syrians!

So it became really true that two gallons of flour and four gallons of barley were sold that day for four shekalím, exactly like what YÁOHU Ulhím had said!

The king appointed his special auxiliary to control the traffic at the gate, but he was knocked down and trampled and killed as the people rushed out.

This is exactly what Ulishúa had predicted on the previous day when the king had come to arrest him, and the prophet had told the king that flour and barley would sell very cheaply on the following day.

The king's officer had replied, 'That couldn't happen even if YÁOHU Ulhím opened the windows of heaven!'

And the prophet had said, 'You will see it happen, but you won't be able to buy any of it!'

And so it was, for the people trampled him to death at the gate!

You child is showing signs of stubbornness and disobedience and he or she might grow up to be a drug addict, a sex addict or join one of those neighborhood gangs engaged in riotous violence and teen crime.


Answer:

Whatever you base your faith on, then that is what will activate in the lives of your children.

Parents serve conjointly as the protective umbrella of the children in the family.

Whatever the parents allow to activate in the lives of their children, that is what will operate in their lives, upright or bad.

Parents have the vital responsibility and accountability in the sight of YÁOHU Ulhím to protect their children and make sure that they grow up in the nourishment and loving discipline of the Word.

It is a scriptural fact that you, being a believer in Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA, a Yaohúshuahée (male) or Yaohúshuahiyáh (female), has dominion over all the power of the enemy; the adversary has no power over you.

YÁOHU Ulhím has a plan for each and everyone of us, and for each and everyone of the children as well.

A unique plan for each one.

On the other hand, the enemy, ha-satán, also has a nasty plan for each one.

Ha-satán is a liar, the source of all lies.

The enemy's tactic is to suggest, recommend, insinuate and activate symptoms to elicit your approval by your agreeing to and believing his lies.

The moment you believe his 'suggestments and recommendments' in your mind, you are actually giving him your consent to work out his plan in the life of that person in your family.

'But I thought ha-satán has no power over me?' you may ask.

Yes, it was you who gave him the power to activate against you.

He uses your own faith to work out his wicked plan against you and your loved ones. That's how tricky he is!

The main tool the enemy uses are his wicked 'suggestments and recommendments' in your mind, and once you agree and believe any of them, it's approved.

Who gave the consent? You!

Whatever you do not allow on earth is not allowed in heaven; whatever you permit on earth is permitted in heaven.

Now you see how tricky the adversary is.

From now on therefore, you will never, never believe nor agree with any negative thought, idea and imagination that comes from the enemy.

The moment the enemy attempts to throw in a piece of his junk into your mind, you quickly renounce and reject it.

You will no longer give your own power, consent, approval and permission to ha-satán. He can never work out his plan against each and everyone in your family.

You only give your approval and consent to YÁOHU Ulhím's noble plans for each one in your family.

But what if you notice symptoms which tend to point to something negative or bad?

Symptoms are lies. You subdue and overpower lying symptoms with the truth of the written Word.

'I am favored by YÁOHU Ulhím, and all my children are favored!'

This is the scriptural truth on which you must hold your ground.

You will only entertain thoughts, ideas, imaginations and visions which fully agree with the noble goals of YÁOHU Ulhím for each one of you in the family.

Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA came to give you life, and life more enriched!

Life overpowers death; a favored life overpowers a cursed life.

Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA is Life!

And He dwells in your heart and in your family home, and He provides, He cares for and protects each member of the family.

'According to your faith, be it done unto you,' is a clear admonition in His Word.

So from now on, you will never allow negative thoughts, ideas or imaginations to dwell in your mind, regardless what the accompanying lying symptoms are.

And you will pray to YÁOHU Ulhím about everything, always receiving His loving care and protection.

And you will be very careful never to agree to anything that does not harmonize with YÁOHU Ulhím's plan for your lives, especially in your thought life.

When you do this, ha-satán cannot control your life!

We might not be able to pay our bills when they come this month or next.


Answer:

Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA came to give us life and life more enriched, and He is our Shepherd that's why we do not suffer lack.

Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA, though He was rich, yet for our sakes, He became poor, that we, through His poverty, might become enriched, overflowing, all-sufficient as well as abundant in everything that is best for each and everyone of us.

YÁOHU Abihúl (our Father) supplies all our needs according to His riches in glory through Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA, our Provider.

The Holy Scriptures clearly declare that our YÁOHU Ulhím delights in the prosperity of His servants, and it is His perfect will to rewards us His children, same way He favored His only Son YAOHÚSHUA, our Life Governor.

We have been declared as co-heirs with Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA, the Heir of everything that YÁOHU UL has.

Therefore, there is no scriptural reason at all to doubt and not believe our YÁOHU Abihúl's desire and ability to care for us and provide for all our needs.

But we have to be faithful trustees of all that He entrusts to us to manage fruitfully, productively and bountifully for His glory and praise.

Everything that we do must be for the purpose of glorifying our YÁOHU Abihúl, Who delivered us from all kinds of lack and poverty and Who brought us into His Kingdom of uprightness, happiness, wellness and abundant riches, by our Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY.

YÁOHU Ulhím regularly gives seed to the sower. You must be a sower, which means, that you must be a giver, not a grabber.

YÁOHU Abihúl does not prosper greedy and envious persons.

A greedy person becomes all the more poorer because of his greed, while a generous person becomes richer spiritually and materially because of his desire to glorify YÁOHU Ulhím by aiding and benefiting his fellowmen.

YÁOHU Ulhím rewards you so you can be a reward to others.

YÁOHU Ulhím does not pour out His riches on people with a reservoir mentality, but He pours His rich rewardsings on those who act as vessels or channels of His rewardsings to others.

Flowing water smells fresh continually through time, while a reservoir becomes malodorous after a while.

Let the 'RÚKHA hol-HODSHÚA' (Sanctified Spirit of YÁOHU Ulhím) manage your finances and obey Him as He continually gives you the wisdom and ability to increase and enrich your wealth, so you can also increasingly be a reward to others.

Believe and never doubt. Learn to continually receive from our YÁOHU Abihúl, Who daily gives us His benefits.

In whatever financial level you are right now, YÁOHU Ulhím is able to give you the power and ability to increase and get rich materially, even as you grow spiritually.

You have been made an heir, you have been given an inheritance, paid for by our Savior Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA.

The inheritance is yours, but in order to be released, that is actually given to you, you must prove yourself to be responsible in managing His assets.

You need character to handle and maintain the gifts in His Kingdom.

That's why when you seek first the Kingdom of YÁOHU Ulhím and His uprightness (character traits), all the other things necessary in life shall readily be given unto you.

So always put YÁOHU Ulhím and His Kingdom on top priority in your life, and everything else will be given unto you.

YÁOHU Abihúl always meets our needs with provisions greater than enough, for He is our loving Provider, the Eternal Creator Who is more than enough.

And we are complete in Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA.

We never lack, because He always provides.

Practice to walk daily in His bountiful provisions!

When you do this, ha-satán cannot control your life.

Your Nuggets Of Wisdom For Today -

'Remember this - a farmer who plants only a few seeds will reap a small crop. But the one who plants plentifully will reap a generous crop.

You must each make up your own mind as to how much you should give. Don't give reluctantly or in response to pressure. For YÁOHU Ulhím loves the person who gives delightfully.

And YÁOHU Ulhím will generously provide all you need!

Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others.

As the Scriptures say,

'Upright people give generously to the poor.
Their noble deeds will never be unrecalled.'

For YÁOHU Ulhím is actually the One Who gives seed to the sower and then bread to eat.

In the same way, He will give you many opportunities to do kindness, and He will yield a great harvest of generosity in you.

Yes, you will be enriched so you can give even more generously.

And when we take your gifts to those who need them, they will break out in expressions of gratefulness to YÁOHU Ulhím.'

Therefore you delight yourself only in YÁOHU Ulhím!

Anecdote For Today - He Multiplies To More Than Enough....

One day about this time, another huge crowd gathered, the people ran out of food again. YAOHÚSHUA called His disciples to discuss the predicament.

'I pity these people,' He said, 'for they have been here three days, and have nothing left to eat. And if I send them home without feeding them, they will faint along the road! For some of them have come a long way.'

'Are we supposed to find food for them here in the desert?' His disciples scoffed.

'How many loaves of bread do you have?' He asked.

'Seven,' they replied. So He told the crowd to sit upon the ground. Then He took the seven loaves, gave 'hodayáo' (thanks) to YÁOHU UL for them, broke them into pieces and passed them to His disciples; and the disciples placed them before the people.

A few small fish were found, too, so YAOHÚSHUA also bestowed favor on these and told the disciples to serve them.

And the whole crowd ate until they were full, and afterwards He sent them home.

There were about four thousand (4,000) people in the crowd that day and when the scraps were picked up after the meal, there were seven very large basketfuls left over!

When will my spouse, children and co-workers change their unpleasant behavior? They keep on getting into my nerves!


Answer:
R

They surely will change when you yourself have changed.

YÁOHU Ulhím uses events in our lives and people around us to develop the character qualities of our Savior and Ruler YAOHÚSHUA in us.

That is His main purpose and task being our Eternal Creator.

He isn't finished making each and everyone of us yet.

Our family, friends and co-workers serve as YÁOHU Ulhím's tools in refining and purifying our hearts and in molding the right character traits, attitudes and values in us.

And what are examples of these?

They are basically the fruit of the indwelling 'RÚKHA hol-HODSHÚA' (Sanctified Spirit of YÁOHU Ulhím), which are:

1. Love

2. Inner Delight

3. Peace (stability)

4. Patience (longsuffering)

5. Kindness (helpful)

6. Being upright and noble

7. Faithfulness (loyalty)

8. Gentleness (meekness)

 

9. Self-control

All this is developed within you as a Yaohúshuahee (believer) by the work of the indwelling 'RÚKHA hol-HODSHÚA' which coincides with the events in your life and with the behavior of the people around you.

You siblings, friends or co-workers may irritate you for the purpose of developing patience in you, or others may unknowingly offend you for the purpose of developing a forgiving attitude in you.

A close friend may treat you so badly that it hurts you right to the core, but this may have been allowed to stimulate your unconditional love toward your fellowmen, by your quickly forgiving and letting go of the offense, so you will learn to love the unlovable.

YÁOHU Ulhím may expose you to events and people who will be in dire need of your support and support so you will learn to develop kindness, mercy and compassion toward others.

Your spouse or children may behave in ways that will challenge your faith and trust upon YÁOHU Ulhím, and this is to prompt you to spend more time with YÁOHU Ulhím and seek Him more, so you can overcome the tests and trials in your life.

And all these factors contribute as a whole to your overall character development and transformation, until you are conformed to the image of Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY.

Looking unto Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA always, and never losing sight of His main purpose in our lives, and that is: that we may bear fruit, and become more abundantly fruitful in every way!

And one of His commands is that we should treat others in ways that we want them to treat us.

Are you treating others the same way they are treating you?

We are never to treat others the same way they treat us.

We are to treat them FIRST with behavior and attitudes that we ourselves want to be treated. We must FIRST sow into their lives whatever we would like to reap or harvest ourselves from them or from others.

Do you inwardly complain that they don't treat you kind enough? That nobody appreciates what you do for them? That they seem to be ungrateful to all that you have done for them?

Well, first learn and practice to do to them what you expect them to do unto you in return!

Practice first whatever you would want them to do unto you, and it shall be done back unto you full measure and running over, in due time.

This principle works in the positive as well as in the negative.

If you sow unconditional love toward them, you will also reap the same from them. That's positive.

If you sow hidden anger, evil suspicion and contempt toward them, you will also reap the same from them. That's negative.

And you cannot separate the fruit from the kind of seed you sow. Fine seed yields delectable fruit; bad seed yields bitter fruit.

Guess who's going to eat all the fruit from the seeds you sow.

So begin sowing seeds of loving compassion, kind support, tender mercies and patient faithfulness into their lives and you will be rewarded with the rich harvests of their lovingkindness, too.

Get rid of complaining, fault-finding, bitterness and self-pity.

On the contrary, believe the best, the positive and the noble in everyone around you. This is real, scriptural love.

Our Savior, Messiah YAOHÚSHUA prayed for those who had Him killed, and freely forgave all who came to Him in true repentance.

YÁOHU Abihúl first loved us that He gave and sowed His one and only Son for our salvation, that He might reap a harvest of many souls into His Kingdom! He loved us FIRST!

What you do FIRST to others, they will do to you in return.

Treat others the same way you want them to treat you!

So begin to let this universal principle of YÁOHU Ulhím work in your favor and for your daily happiness.

You cannot have a negative, contemptible mindset together with a happy, abundant life at the same time.

Rotten thoughts always lead to a rotten life.

But we are doers of the Word.

We never do any of our nasty feelings, we don't obey our selfish will and we don't let negative thoughts control us.

We do the Word, every moment of our daily lives.

The person who built his house upon a rock was he who OBEYED the Word of Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA, not the one who merely heard but did not obey what He commanded.

Those who merely hear but do not obey are like the person who builds his house upon shaky, sinking sand.

So build your house upon the solid rock, the secure foundation.

Do the Word, obey whatever Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA commands.

From now on, therefore, you FIRST begin treating others the same way you want them to treat you. You do it FIRST!

By doing this, ha-satán cannot control your daily life.
