we prefer to use the actual Name of our loving Heavenly Father as it was
written in the Word, and thus you will note that we will use the Four
Letter “Memorial Name” of
- YHVH,
which is pronounced as YaHVaH or YaHWaH. In addition we will also
use our Heavenly Father’s attribute/title, which is Elohim rather
than “God,” which sadly is the name of a pagan god. In addition we
also love to use the actual and real Name of our beloved Messiah which
is 
- Yahushua or Yahshua in short, for
this is our Saviours original Hebrew Name as given to Him at birth in Lukas
- Luke 1:31. This was the only Name ever used when He was on the earth by His
family, disciples and His followers OVER THE centuries, even until today!
However, it was changed to a foreign name by the founder of the new
“pagan church of
We must live our lives on the principle that we have been placed on earth to do the will of YaHVaH our Elohim, blessed be His Sanctified (Holy) Name! This must be our sole guide. In fact, at no time are we free of it. Obviously, we are to be engaged in studying His Word, doing faith-works, praying, and fasting, functioning as YaHVaH Elohim’s (the LORD God’s) messengers on earth. We must also realise that even mundane affairs like eating or work count as divine missions. To sustain the soul one must sustain the body first. The Word of Elohim warns us.
“Take heed and watch yourselves very carefully.” Davarim - Deuteronomy 4:9.
In this verse the word used for “selves” is “Nefesh,” which actually translates as “soul.” It is quite common for people to corrupt their souls while sustaining their bodies. This verse very clearly shows us that we must be exceedingly careful to guard against this. Thus verse 9 should really read,
““Only take heed and your soul diligently,”
Verse 9 then continues,
“… lest you forget the things your eyes have seen and lest they depart from your heart all the days of your life.”
Before a believer in Yahushua engages in an activity one should pray first and see if it does not oppose the will of Elohim, for we are here on the earth to serve HIM and our beloved Yahushua The Messiah!
It is rather sad, but all too often even believers place less effort in serving Elohim, than some of the smallest of shopkeepers spend time running their business. The Word states,
“If you seek it like silver and search
for it as for hidden treasure, then you will understand the fear of
YHVH.”
On close reflection, we must realise, sometimes we fail to seek the treasures of the Word of Elohim and the faith-works in Him, and often we place less effort in our Spiritual walk, than an owner of a small business does striving his goals. He does his utmost to increase his inventory and make items attractive for sale. Should several days pass without a profit or worse still, should his shop be damaged, he will feel upset and insecure. In serving our Saviour some think nothing of letting several days pass without praying, reading and studying the Word, despite the enormous loss involved. During this interval, we may speak hundreds of words of idle chatter and sometimes use even some forbidden speech. During that time, one remains calm as if we have done nothing wrong.
Actually, we should be more meticulous about serving our beloved Messiah Yahushua than about attending to worldly affairs. The latter affects only the present while the former affects our status with our Heavenly Father. Likewise, our prayers to the Almighty should be chiefly concerned with spiritual matters. Sadly, we spend more time asking for things from Elohim than giving Him honour and praise. Often we feel happy over material success, and feel distraught over failure. By contrast, understanding a verse or a chapter of the Word, performing a faith-deed or saying grace at meals should cause us much joy in doing Elohim's will.
Sincerity compels us to admit that some rejoice more over financial profit than being involved with ministry and outreach. Often individuals are less distressed over committing a wrong than losing a few dollars. Heavenly matters, beloved, must be more important to us than earthly ones, not because we lack faith, Elohim forbid, but because we do not always pause to reflect on eternal matters that should be part of our daily lives.
“Lest they understand with their heart and be healed.” Yeshayahu - Isaiah 6:10.
In other words, who or what is in control, does your soul control your body or does your body rule your soul?
“Love YHVH your Elohim with ALL your HEART and ALL your SOUL, and ALL that you POSSESS.” Davarim - Deuteronomy 6:5.
Praise
“Teach me Your way, O YHVH. I will walk in Your truth.
UNITE MY HEART TO FEAR YOUR NAME!”
May YHVH Elohim bless and keep you in the palm of
His hand always, in Messiah Yahushua’s loving Name!
