Section One

Faith


When My servant no longer seeks to see with his eyes, nor hear with his ears, the fulfillment of those things written, then he will know his faith is near to completion, says The Lord. For one who must see with his eyes lacks trust, and one who has itching ears lacks understanding.


Yet the servant who truly believes
Is no longer bound by the need
For confirmation...

He seeks not after signs, nor does
He sit idle waiting for the news...

For his trust is complete,
His understanding full,
And he is at peace...

Walking in the ways of The Lord.


From: Faith




Mature Faith


Blessed are those who answer, “Yes, Lord”,
For their faith is revealed...

Blessed are those who pray, “Your will be done, Lord”,
For they have great trust...

Blessed are those who say, “Amen, Lord”,
At all times and in every season,
For they have understood...

Blessed are those who know,
I AM WHO I AM;
They shall have peace...

Says The Lord.


From: Mature Faith




Steadfast Faith


Blessed is the wise and faithful servant,
Who gives no thought to how they are
Perceived in the eyes of others...

For they obey My voice,
And are not dismayed by the looks
Of those who judge without knowledge...

Indeed, they seek only to please their Master,
Having no need of the approval of others...

Says The Lord.


From: Steadfast Faith




Faith Without Works Is Dead


Let all those who truly know Me
Proclaim My name first by their ways,
Then with their mouths...

For honor only spoken of is but wind,
The veil of the hypocrite who
Knows not where he is going,
Having no remorse
Over where he has been...

Says The Lord.


From: Faith Without Works Is Dead




Faith AND Works


What is faith without works?

Nothing, a lie spoken in vain.

And what of works without faith?

Vanity, a false good covering a heart
Which has turned from The Truth...

Says The Lord.


From: Faith AND Works




Healing by Faith


Faith is believing I AM WHO I AM, and that I am able to perform it. Faith can by no means be attained, nor can one grab hold of it by human means.

For there are works done without faith, which are dead; and a faith which has works, which is also dead. Yet your faith came by My works, which enabled you to believe I AM WHO I AM. And all good works, which come forth from you, are My works also.
Therefore if one is to be healed in accordance with My will, that same one must surrender to Me and My will, making no effort to increase their faith by human power as a means to a desired end.


Rather they acquiesce...

Knowing that all things will be done
In their proper time and season,
According to the love
Of their Father in Heaven...

Doubting nothing...

Says The Lord.


From: Healing by Faith




The Fear of The Lord


It is written: The fear of The Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of The Holy One is understanding.[1]
Therefore all else is vanity, a false way, leading to great vexation of spirit. For I AM THE LORD. From the beginning it was I who had done it; even to the end shall I perform it; and behold, all is fulfilled according to My will.
 

Therefore to fear The Lord your God
Is indeed the beginning of wisdom...

For how can one know Me,
Unless they first acknowledge Me?
And how can one fear Me, unless they
Believe, I AM WHO I AM?...

He who causes to be,
He who called all things into existence,
The Creator of Heaven and Earth...

Says The Lord.

10/14/10 From YahuShua HaMashiach, Our Lord and Savior
The Word of The Lord Spoken to Timothy
For The Lord’s Little Flock, and For All Those Who Have Ears to Hear

Beloved ones, before you depart My table, consider this: Where did your faith come from, and by what means was it authored? Be not quick to answer, but consider. For I tell you the truth, I am not the author of your faith, nor did your faith begin with Me. For I did not come forth to increase the faith you already have, nor have I spoken through all these Letters to affirm that which you have already accepted; no, I have come to tear down and to supplant.
Beloved, I am calling you out of that to which you have grown accustomed, to be separate from that which has until now been the author of your faith. For some of you your faith began in the churches of men, and for others it was molded and shaped by the world, yet for most it was a combination of the two. Therefore I call you to see with greater eyes, with eyes like Mine. For I tell you the truth, your faith is against Me, even as the churches of men and this world are against Me, polluting My name and My glory without ceasing. For it is written: Friendship with the world is enmity with God; whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.

Therefore, I have poured out My spirit on all flesh in these last days, and by My prophet I have spoken; even by a multitude of words I have declared it. And thus I say it to you, once again: I shall tear down, uproot and destroy, supplant, until I have set all these crooked paths straight.


Thus I have called My people out, that they might
Come out from among them and be separate...

A people set apart for My name,
A people who keep The Commandments
And cease not from testifying to My glory,
A people of pure and undefiled faith...

A people joined unto ME...

Says The Lord.


From: Pure and Undefiled Faith




8/25/05 From YahuShua HaMashiach, Our Lord and Savior
The Word of The Lord Spoken to Timothy
For The Lord’s Little Flock, and For All Those Who Have Ears to Hear

Thus says The Lord: It is the penitent man who shall know God, and penitent you must be; die to yourselves daily. Cast off the skin of this world and walk with Me as I am, and not as you would have Me be.
Beloved ones, do you long to obey? Then obey. Do you wish to stay clean? Then stay clean. Doubt is your enemy, doubt is a stone of stumbling at your feet. For I tell you the truth, one whose faith has come to completion, having received the full revelation of who I am, will not sin. For only the face of The Holy One is before their eyes.
Beloved ones, only One is without sin, The Son of Man. Yet the desire to sin is still within you, and now also The Truth, and so the battle rages. Therefore, beware. For doubt leads to disobedience, and to disobey God is sin, and the penalty of sin is death. Yet I have overcome death, having written your name in the Book of Life from the very foundation of the world. What is left then? Only the death of sin itself, and the passing away of death.
Beloved, cast off your sins, depart quickly from temptation, and to the accuser turn a deaf ear. For I tell you the truth, evil has lost its grip on the redeemed... Therefore hear My words, and also do them; give heed to My speech, and embrace all I have given you; drink deeply from this cup, and be created anew, says The Lord your Redeemer.

5/14/10 From The Lord, Our God and Savior
The Word of The Lord Spoken to Timothy
For The Lord’s Little Flock, and For All Those Who Have Ears to Hear

"Behold, I have set before you a stone of stumbling, over which many shall fall. I have called you into service, according to your faith. Indeed I have given you much, therefore much shall I require; and only a very few shall remain. And so that which was begun shall be finished..."

6/10/10 From YahuShua HaMashiach, Our Lord and Savior
The Word of The Lord Spoken to Timothy
For All Those Who Have Ears to Hear
(Regarding unbelieving family members)

"My sons and daughters, what is trust with abandonment? What is obedience without expectation? Is not your reasonable service love without condition? Yet I tell you the truth, trust is more than letting go. For it remains standing that it must also be shown in your obedience and by your example, and by your willingness to never deny My name, no matter the time or the season. Beloved, place your loved ones in My hands, as I have said, for at no time were they forsaken."

~

"For one who truly loves Me speaks about Me, and remains faithful at all times and in every season. And one who places Me above all else has shown their loved ones who is first, and what faithfulness truly is. For there is no true love apart from Me; nor can one remain faithful unless they have received of Me."


Excerpts from: Be Instant In and Out of Season




12/1/10 From The Lord, Our God and Savior
The Word of The Lord Spoken to Timothy
For a Sister in Christ, and For All Those Who Have Ears to Hear

"Beloved, I stretched out My hands for you; I bore the weight of your sins, I carried your burdens! Therefore is My grace sufficient for you. Yet you must choose to stand up and walk in Me, relying on My strength in your times of weakness, by which My strength and your trust is made perfect.
Have I not said, “In obedience is your love made perfect,” and, “Who you choose, not what you choose, is the answer”? And when you have chosen Me, is it not also your reasonable service to walk in Me?"

4/6/09 From YahuShua HaMashiach, Our Lord and Savior
The Word of The Lord Spoken to Timothy
For The Lord’s Little Flock, and For All Those Who Have Ears to Hear

Thus says The Lord YahuShua: There are none here who have come into perfection, a finishing of that which I Myself have planted within you and watered...

Therefore, understand the Word of My mouth and that which is set before you, even upon each of your plates: I have bore you, even twice have you come forth; first by water and blood in the flesh, and a second time in the Spirit, yea even a third time when you shall come into glory. And behold, that which is first sown in your hearts is The Living Word. And that which grows from Me bears fruit, according to the food and drink I provide, the written Word. Therefore both are necessary, yet one must be first.


Yet understand this:
One who is awakened can not remain so,
Unless they receive of Me and also
Eat of that which I provide...

Therefore abide in Me,
And partake daily of My supper...


Says The Lord.
