PRESENT YOUR BODIES AS A LIVING SACRIFICE



“I urge you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of Elohim, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, holy, and acceptable to Elohim, which is your reasonable service.”- Romans 12:1
            Yehovah desires that we present our bodies to Him as a living sacrifice. Why is this, you may ask.  Because we have been masters over our bodies since we were born.  We have used our own body to glorify the devil instead of Yehovah. We may have stuffed our bodies with unhealthy foods, and vomited the excess in order to lose weight.   Some of us have been on crazy diets hoping to lose those extra pounds.  How many of us have eaten too much protein, while we were starving our bodies from other important nutrients?  However, maybe food is not your problem, but alcohol or other drugs are. There are also other types of abuse. Sexual immorality is one form of abuse, and you may have sold yourself to get drugs.  You need to remember that you were created in Yehovah’s image, but sin destroyed that image. Oh, the pain in Yehovah’s heart each time his children have done such vile actions. You wonder why, Yehovah urges you to present your body to Him as a living sacrifice? Are you aware that your body does not belong to you?   If you have given your life to serve Yehovah, and have believed in Yehoshua to be your Savior, then you know that He paid the redemption price for your body, soul and spirit. You belong to Him, and have no legal right to misuse "His Body."  Your need for love caused you looking for physical pleasures. But once you know Him personally, He will satisfy the deep longing for love and acceptance that is in your heart. If you have not yet given your life to Him please do it now.  Acknowledge and repent of your sin to Yehovah; believe in Yehoshua, be baptized, and He will write your name in the Lamb’s Book of Life.   
“And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before Elohim, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life.” 14 “And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books. Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. 15 And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.”- Revelations 20:12

  • No earthly pleasure can compare with the blessing of spending eternity with our Savior! 
  • Where do you want to spend eternity? There is only one Creator, and one Elohim, Yehovah who sent His only Ben/Son to take your place on that cross. You know the Scriptures declare all of us guilty. Today surrender your members, that is your whole life, to Him, your only Elohim, which include all your past sins. 
  1. Be Baptized  in the Name of Yehoshua, and leave your sins behind you forever. arise from the water a new man, and with all your heart start your new journey in Him. He will give you the grace you need to serve Him. Worship Him with all your heart, and He will meet with you. Time is short, do not wait.

THE DAY OF YEHOVAH

We have arrived on the final part of the message of the Yom Yehovah –the Day of Yehovah.
The prophet Yeshayahu/Isaiah associates That Day to the coming of the Root of Jesse. This is, of course, the Messiah, and all the Scriptures depicts the nations coming to Him.
 “And in that day shall be a Root of Yishai, standing as a banner to the people. Unto Him the gentiles shall seek, and His rest shall be esteem.” -Yeshayahu/Isaiah 11:10
This is coming to pass very soon. The Gentiles have accepted, not all of them, the Messiah Yeshua.  Ignorantly they have called Him Jesus. But He is the one Root of Yishai and in that day everyone will know His true name. There will no longer be division concerning His identity and His Divine Name.
 “And Yehovah shall go forth, and He shall fight against those gentiles, as He fights in the day of battle. 4 And in that day His feet shall stand upon the Mount of Olives, which faces Yerushalayim on the east. And the Mount of Olives shall be split in tow, from east to west, a very great valley, and half of the mountain shall move toward to north and half of it toward the south.” -Zekharyah/Zechariah 14:4(HS)
“In that day the mourning in Yerushalayim is going to be great, like the mourning at Hadad Rimmon in the valley of Megiddon.” -Zekharyah/Zechariah 12:11 (HS)
Yehovah will cleanse the land from its idolatry.

 “And I shall pour on the house of Yerushalayim a spirit of favour and prayers. And they shall look upon even whom they pierced, and they shall mourn for Him as one mourns for his only son. And they shall be in bitterness over Him as bitterness over the first-born.” -Zekharyah/Zechariah 12:10
“In that day a fountain shall be opened for the house of Dawid and for the inhabitants of Yerushalayim, for sin and for uncleanness. 2 And it shall be in that day,” declares Yehovah of Hosts, “That I cut off the names of the idols from the earth, and they shall be remembered no more, and I shall also remove the prophets and the unclean spirit from the earth.”4 “And it shall be in that day that the nevi’im (prophets) shall be ashamed, every one of his vision when he nava, (prophesies) and not put a hairy robe on in order to deceive.”-Zekharyah/Zechariah 13:1-2, 4
Many of us will be very happy to see the Messiah and will rejoice when all the false prophets will be ashamed and stop prophesying. It will be so wonderful when idolatry with all Satan worship will be eradicated from the earth. Yehoshua will do this, for He is the One who will do all these things.  When the Jewish people will see Him, they will recognize Him and be very sorry for not receiving Him earlier. It will be a day of true repentance and it will be wonderful to behold!
Look up for redemption draws near. He is coming!
“See, He is coming with the clouds, and every eye shall see Him, even they who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth shall mourn because of Him. Yes, Amen. 8 I am the ‘Aleph and the Tav, Beginning and End, says Yehovah “Who is and who was and who is to come, El Shaddai.” Chazon/Revelation 1:7-8

I am ending this message of That Day, and I hope you have read all the Scriptures, for in them you find life.
Yehovah sent His only Ben/Son Yeshua (Yehoshua) into this world for you and me to be reconciled to Him, our Creator and our Heavenly Father. I have at length spoken of the necessity of each one of us to believe in His Yeshua. He is our only hope. But not only is He our only hope for eternity, but for a close relationship with our Father in Heaven now and with Him, Yehoshua. If you do not know Him, will you today call upon the Father Yehovah to reveal Himself to you and for Yehoshua to also make Himself known to you? But you must really want to know Him, and cry out unto Him with your whole heart, or may no answer.
“Thus said Yehovah who made it, Yehovah who formed it to establish it, Yehovah is His Name, 3 Call unto Me, and I shall answer you, and show you greatness and unknowns, which you have not known.”-Yirmeyahu/Jeremiah 33:2-3
 I have done it, and He indeed answered me. He is waiting on everyone to be thirsty enough and call upon Him, and when they do He is very happy to answer. Will you do it?

THE DAY OF YEHOVAH


Part 4 continues..

The Day of Yehovah does not only apply to the judgment of Israel but also to the following pending or far away events.
The future judgment of Yisra’el
“See. The day of Yehovah is coming, fierce, with wrath and heat of displeasure, to lay the earth waste, and destroy its sinners from it. 10 For the stars of the shamayim (Heaven) and their constellations do not give off their light. The sun shall be dark at the rising, and the moon not send out its light. 11 And I shall punish the world for its evil, and the wicked for their wickedness, and shall put an end to the arrogance of the proud, and lay low the pride of the ruthless. 12 I shall make mortal man scarcer than fine gold, and mankind than the gold of Ophir.  13 So I shall make the shamayim tremble, and the earth shall shake from her place, in the wrath of Yehovah  of hosts and in the day of the heat of His displeasure. 14 And it shall be as the hunted gazelle, and as a sheep that no man takes up-every  man turns to his own people, and everyone flees to his own land. 15 Whoever is found is thrust through, and everyone taken falls by the sword.” -Yeshayahu/Isaiah 13 9-15
What I copied is only a portion, of course. You may want to read  the whole chapter for it is eye awakening indeed! We are going to be facing terrible times and we must prepare.
  “For the day of Yehovah is near upon all the gentiles. As you have done, it shall be done to you, your reward shall come back on your own head.”-Obadyah/Obadiah 15
I am very concerned about the Gentiles who have in the past and even now coming against the Chosen People. They are accusing them now that those returned to Yisra’el are not even Jews because they are Europeans. Of course, they came from Europe and Africa, but they are returning Jews that Yehovah fort told in the Scriptures.  I will only mention a few now for you to realize that Yehovah never meant for Yisra’el to be forgotten.
  “And it shall be, when all these words come upon you, the berakhah and the curse which I have put before you, and you shall bring them back to your heart among all the gentiles where Yehovah your Elohim drives you, 2 and shall turn back to Yehovah  your Elohim  and obey His voice, according to all that I command you today, with all your heart and with all your being, you and your children, 3 then Yehovah your Elohim shall turn back your captivity, and shall have compassion on you, and He shall turn back and gather you from all the peoples where Yehovah your Elohim has scattered you. 4 If any of you are driven out to the farthest parts under the shamayim, from there Yehovah your Elohim gathers you, and from there He takes you. 5 And Yehovah your Elohim shall bring you to the land which you fathers possessed , and you shall possess it. ‘And He shall do good to you, and increase you more than your fathers.”-Devarim/Deuteronomy 30:1-5.
There are many scriptures, and if you are a student of the Word you will find them all over in the Prophets. I may write another message concerning this subject later on.
Future judgment on Israel for not keeping the Covenant as they were invaded by  Assyria and Babylon and they were  taken into captivity (Yeshayahu /Isaiah 3:1-18-4:1; Amos 5:18-20).
Yeshayahu/Isaiah 13:19 spoke of the destruction of Babylon and the Medes and it  was  fulfilled in 539BC.
Let us  now read about the deliverance and blessing of Israel  and the Nations in that day
“And it shall be in that day that Yehovah puts His hand again a second time to recover the remnant of His people who are left, from Ashshur and from Mitsrayim, from Pathros and from Kush, from Eylam and from Shin’ar, from Chamath and from the islands of the sea. 12 and He shall raise a banner for the nations, and gather the outcasts of Yisra’el, and assemble the dispersed of Yahudah from the four corners of the earth.”Yeshayahu/Isaiah 11:10-12


Yoel/Joel 3 describes how Yehovah will bring the  Gentiles to the valley of Yahoshaphat because they have divided the Land of Israel and not respected His people. You must read this whole chapter. 
In the past, a fulfillment of that day is the destruction of the Temple 586BC which was described in the book of Lamentations.
“Young and old lie on the ground in the streets. My maidens and my young men  have fallen by the sword. You have slain them in the day of Your displeasure, You have slaughtered without compassion.” -Eykhah/Lamentations 2:21
 In a way we have seen the fulfillment in the past of the Day of Yehovah, as He has brought the Jewish people twice back from captivity to their own home land.
Now we are expecting the Great Day of Yehoshua’s Return.
 “ I was looking in the night visions and saw One like the Ben of Enosh, coming with the clouds of the shamayim! (Heaven!) and he came to the Ancient of Days, and they brought Him near before Him. 14 and to Him was given rulership and esteem and a reign, that all peoples, nations, and languages should serve Him. His rule is an everlasting rule which shall not pass away, and His reign that which shall not be destroyed.”  -Dani’el 7:13
”And then the sign of the Ben of Adam shall appear in the shamayim, and then all the tribes of the earth shall mourn, and they shall see the Ben of Adam coming on the clouds of the shamayim with power and much esteem. 31 And he shall send His messengers (angels) with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together His chosen ones from the four winds, from one end of the shamayim to the other.”- Mattithyahu/Matthew 24:30-31
 I will continue on my next message. But I need to exhort once again do not delay to surrender your life, past, present, and future into the life of Yehoshua or Yeshua which is the short form of His all powerful Name.
If you do not know Him personally, you can simply call upon His Name and He will reveal Himself to you. Your future is in your own hands.
Shalom

THE DAY OF YEHOVAH


(Part 3)
I continue today with a few more Scriptures verses on “That Day”
“In that day the branch of Yehovah shall be splendid and esteemed. And the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and comely for the escaped ones of Yisra’el.”-Yeshayahu/Isaiah 4:2
“Woe to those plotting wickedness, and working out evil upon their beds! In the light of the morning they practice it, because it is in the might of their hand. 2 And they coveted fields and seized them, also houses, and took them away. And they oppressed a man and his house, a man and his inheritance. 3 Therefore thus said Yehovah, “See, against this clan I am planning evil, from which you do not remove your necks, nor walk proudly, for this is a time of evil.4 “In that day one shall lift up a proverb against you, and he shall lament with a bitter lamentation, and shall say, ‘We have been utterly ravaged! He changes the inheritance of my people. How He removes it from me! He apportions our fields to the backslider.’- Mikah/Micah 2:1-4
According to the above verses it will not be a pleasant day to be alive. But if we are alive, His grace will enable us to endure the hardships.
“And Yehovah their Elohim shall save them in that day, as the flock of His people, for the stones of a diadem, sparkling over His land. 17 For what goodness is His, and what comeliness is His. Grain make the young men thrive, and new wine the maidens! -Zekharyah/Zechariah 9:16
Those days
“And if those days were not shortened, no flesh would be saved, but for  the sake of the chosen ones (elect) those days shall be shortened.”Mattithyahu/Matthew 24:22
The elect or the chosen ones will be alive with everybody else. Some say the church will not be alive in those days, but Yehoshua says it differently. Many will be given into the hand of the anti-Messiah, which is another messiah, and he will kill them.
“After this I looked and saw a great crowd which no one was able to count, out of all nations and tribes and people and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, dressed in white robes, and palm branches in their hands, 10 and crying out with a loud voice, saying, “Deliverance belongs to our Elohim who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!” 11 And all the messengers stood around the throne and the elders and the four living creatures, and fell on their faces before the throne and worshipped Elohim,  12 saying, “Amen! The berakhah (blessing, and the esteem (glory), and the wisdom, and the thanksgiving, and the respect, and the power, and the might, to our Elohim forever and ever. Amen.”
13 And one of the elders responded, saying to me, “Who are these dressed in white robes, and where did they come from?” 14 And I said to him, “Master, you know.” And he said to me, “These are those coming out of the great distress, (tribulation), having washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. 15 Because of this they are before the throne of Elohim, and serve Him day and night in His Dwelling Place. And He who sits on the throne shall dwell among them.
16 They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more, neither shall the sun strike them, nor any heat,  17 because the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne shall shepherd them and lead them t o fountains of waters of chai (life). And Elohim  shall wipe away every tear from their eyes.”-Chazon/Revelation 7:9-17 (See also Dani’el/Daniel 7:21)  
He will shorten those days!
“For in those days there shall be distress, such as has not been from the beginning of creation which Elohim created until this time, nor ever shall be. 20 And if the Adon had not shortened those days, no flesh would have been saved; but because of the chosen ones, whom He chose, He shortened the days.”-Marqos/Mark 13:19-20
 That time
“At that time,” declares Yehovah, “I shall be the Elohim of all the clans of Yisra’el, and they shall be My people.”- Yirmeyahu/Jeremiah 31:1
“Yehovah your Elohim in your midst, is mighty to save. He rejoices over you with joy. He is silent in His love, He rejoices over you with singing.”18 I shall  gather those who grieve about the appointed place, who are among , to whom its reproach is a burden. 19 See, I am dealing with all those afflicting you at that time. And I shall save the lame, and gather those who were cast our. And I shall give them for a praise and for a name in all the earth where put to shame. 20 At that time I shall bring you in, even at the time I gather you, for I shall give you for a name, and for a praise, among all the peoples of the earth, when I turn back your captivity before your eyes, “ said Yehovah.”
-Tsephanyah/Zephaniah 3:17-20
Let us be very clear, that Yehovah has not replaced Israel with the, for most part,  the backslidden church! They preach they are restraining the anti-messiah because the Ruach haQodesh in them quoting
“For the secret of Lawlessness is already at work-only until he who now restrains comes out of the midst.” Tas’loniqim 2/2 Thessalonians 2:7
The church is not capable to do this but Yehovah alone with His holy angels can and will do this. The church is in error, in my opinion, to give herself so much power. The church  needs  to repent and do the first things first!
“To the messenger of the assembly of  Ephesos/Ephesus write, ‘He who is holding the seven stars in His right hand, who is walking in the midst of the seven golden lampstands, says this: 2 “I know your works, and your labour, and your endurance, and that you are not able to bear evil ones, and have tried those who say they are emissaries and are not, and have found them false; 3 I and you have been bearing up and have endurance, and have laboured  for My Name’s Sake and have not become weary.
(This part is only half right in these last days, for the church has elevated many false prophets, maybe in ignorance.)
“But I hold this against you, that you have left your first love. 5 So remember from where you have fallen, and repent and do the first works, or else I shall come to you speedily and remove your lampstand from its place, unless your repent.”
There are only a very few assemblies who are preaching the true gospel according to His Word. Some are returning to keep the Sabbath Day Holy, and all the Feasts of Yehovah, which we have to practice on the earth as it is done in Heaven. Those few assemblies are the most accurate and are doing all they can to bring His Presence down in their meetings and in their homes.  We have to go back to our first Love. Yehoshua is our first Love and love results in Obedience. And if we love Him we will obey the Word He has given to us. We must demonstrate our love to him and to the world.  They are blessed and will continue to be exceedingly blessed!
 I urge you beloved reader, that if you are a pastor and do not have return the roots of your faith, to begin now. The roots are love and obey Him.  Do not compare yourself to other assemblies, but only love  Yehovah and to His Word.
Shalom, shalom!
