Repent! For the Kingdom of Yahuah has Come

Posted in Uncategorized on Tuesday, December 1, 2009 by crazychristcraver

Although I have not found success in this world (money, stature, achievements) I have found my identity in Christ as a son of the Most High God, co-heir in the kingdom of my Father. Much like king Solomon, in all my searching I have found that all is futility except this: to know God, to love God, and to keep His commandments. Apart from this there is nothing, and all is chasing the wind.

Man! God has been so good to me! It is in Him that I delight. Many look upon me as being crazy, and I will admit that I have gone off the deep-end, and I’m so far outside the box that I can only be found in Him. Halleluyah! HAHA.

Many right now are so discouraged, having been beaten up reptedely by the enemy. I know that I have been going through many of my own bouts. Something that I have come to understand, and even better as I’m writing this, is how the enemy is being used to whip us into shape. The reason that we often get so beaten up is because we are holding onto a gospel of poor doctrine and theology that does not and cannot deliver us because it possesses no life. It is time to let go of all of the things that we know, and realize that it is this knowledge that keeps us from partaking from the Tree of Life.

We have been granted access to the Tree of Life, also known as the Cross, through which we have eternal life. The one prerequisite that we are given is to “repent”, i.e. to change our mind. Everything that we know, everything that we’ve ever done, everything that we’ve ever depended upon for provision, security, and identity, is not of God, and we must forsake those things even to the point of hating our own life, so that we may now find those things in Him. It is the carnal mind, the things that we know in the flesh, all that is in the world, the desire of the eyes, the desire of the flesh, and the pride of life, that choke out the Word, stopping it from producing the fruit of His character (His image and likeness) in our lives. This is why He said that if we didn’t understand the parable of the sower, we would never understand anything that He said.

I say all of this to encourage you. I obviously have no idea how you are doing, and don’t know where you are at as far as your relationship with God goes. All that I know is that God wants for all of us to stop trying to figure out how we can reproduce the things of God. The fruit of the Spirit are One-offs that have no equal, and will never be reproduced apart from this Tree. We will never figure it out; we will never know enough. We must stop eating from the Tree of the knowledge of good and evil; break the spiraling chase of more and the good that we can never catch. There is only One good, and we don’t have to chase it.

It is hard enough to read the bible and understand it. But when you throw in all of the doctrine and theology that has been added in over the past 6,000 years or so, all I can say is good luck. Lucifer couldn’t figure it out. Adam couldn’t figure it out. What makes us think that we can figure it out? Futility! Most of the teachings of today’s church are a reach, and based out of a carnal understanding. It makes no difference who you are, how long you’ve been doing this, how righteous you appear to be, or how much “power” you walk in, there is only One good, and it is only through abondoning all that we know, stop being lord of our own lives, and allow Him to reveal Himself as He is. We are told that unless we became as little children that we cannot enter the kingdom of heaven. A small child has no understanding of the working of things, but only knows Dad. Child-like faith doesn’t have to figure things out, doesn’t have to achieve, but instead just enjoys spending time with Dad; never wondering where the next meal is going to come from or things of that nature (that’s a silly question to a small child, DAD! Duh!). We can partake of His nature by dying to self, getting out of the way, and drawing upon His strength that is so lavishly supplied through grace. Apart from Christ in us we can do nothing.

Know the Tree, Eat the Fruit, Have Life.

I pray that this wouldn’t be gibberish to you, but would breathe life into your very being. May you be found in Him. Praise Yahuah!

For Your Name’s Sake

Yahuah, you are high and lifted up.
So greatly to be praised.
We, those who are called by Your Name
Have sinned against You.
We are wicked in Your sight,
And an abomination in Your eyes.
Having eyes, we fail to see,
And with our ears we do not hear.
Our hearts are far from You,
As we continue to glorify ourselves.
Please have mercy;
Restore Your chosen people.
Do not forsake us,
Nor leave us in our corruption.
We have taken Your Name,
And brought it to nothing.
Do not forget Your promises;
Do not forget this people.
Raise up a remnant
For Your Name’s Sake.
Restore this generation
So that Your Name would again be made known.
You alone are good;
You alone are worthy of praise;
You alone are righteous.
You are just, but we thank You for Your mercy.
O Yahuah, teach us to walk in You way;
Lead us out of this darkness.
Let Your light shine as the dawning of a new day,
As Your Son breaks the horizon.
O that Your Truth would pour forth like rain;
And Your wisdom fall like dew.
Give us a new understanding of Your love;
A new revelation of Your character.
Restore sight to our blind eyes,
And hearing to our deaf ears.
Replace our stone cold hearts,
With a heart that deeply desires Your truth.
Again we have fallen into captivity,
Free us from these chains.
O Yahuah, You are our deliver;
It is You who is our strength.
You, O Yahuah, are the solid rock.
Restore the foundation of old;
Raise up Your holy temple;
The dwelling place of the Most High Elahim.
Make Yourself known again to Your people;
O Yahuah, for Your precious Name’s sake.

Yahuah, you are high and lifted up.

The Desires of Your Heart

Posted in Challenging words, Forsaking All with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , on Wednesday, October 14, 2009 by crazychristcraver

Matthew 5:6

“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, because they shall be filled.”

Psalm 37:3-6

Trust in Yahuah, and do good;

Dwell in the earth, and feed on steadfastness.

And delight yourself in Yahuah,

And let Him give you the desires of your heart.

Commit your way to Yahuah,

And trust in Him, and He does it.

And He shall bring forth your righteousness as the light,

And your right-ruling as the midday.

Psalm 21:1-6

The sovereign rejoices in Your strength, O Yahuah;

And how greatly he exults in Your deliverance!

You have given him the desire of his heart,

And You have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah.

For You put before him the blessings of goodness;

You set a crown of fine gold on his head.

He asked for life from You, and you gave it to him—

Length of days forever and ever.

Through Your deliverance his esteem is great;

You have laid excellency and splendor on him.

For You have made him most blessed forever;

You have made him glad with the joy of Your presence.

Mark 4:18-19

“And others are those sown among the thorns, these are they who hear the word, and the worries of this age, and the deceit of riches, and the desires for other matters, entering in choke the word, and it becomes fruitless.”

Luke 8:14

“And that which fell among thorns are those who, when they have heard, go out and are choked with worries, and riches, and pleasures of life, and bring no fruit to perfection.”

1 John 2:15-16

Do not love the world nor that which is in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. Because all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world. And the world passes away, and the lust of it, but the one doing the desire of Elahim remains forever.

It is far too often that we quote bible verses without understanding. One verse that I frequently hear quoted is from Psalm 37, and only the second part of verse 4: “And he will give you the desires of your heart.” There are really two erroneous ways that I have heard this verse used; both are used for personal gain.

The first uses this verse to say that all of the desires that are now in our hearts as believers are from God. Well, we all know that not to be true, because there are plenty of things in our hearts that we have been commanded not to do. So, God either put all the junk there too, or this interpretation is false. The second way I have often heard this used is very similar, and it uses this verse to say that when I serve God, he gives me, and even wants me to have the worldly things that I desire (all the things that I would have had while serving the flesh).

I have said these both in ways that should be obvious that they are false, but in the day-to-day these two are covered with a whole lot of honey, and they’re sweet going down. While we are on this earth, serving Yahuah, will He allow things to come into our life, worldly things and treasures? You better believe He will. Might those things be the very things that you desire? Most likely, yes. The important thing to remember is that life in this world is not about things; is not about treasure in this world. If Yahushua taught that you should get rid of all of your earthly treasure, and start storing up heavenly, at what point did it become okay to start storing up earthly treasure again?

Somehow the purpose of Christian life has gone from dying to all that is in this world as an offering unto Yahuah, to self-gain give me a bigger store house please, in the name of Jesus. But wait, you can’t say that, I know I’m right, ‘cause my pastor said… I learned at bible school… I saw on the news… I saw it on T.B.N… I learned about it at a revival meeting…

Since when is something okay because it happens at church, or because the pastor said so? I can guarantee you that excuse won’t stand up in court. Israel tried that one, it didn’t work out so good for them. They brought sex and orgies into the temple, and I can promise that the ones who tried to say, “Well, the priest said it was okay,” suffered death too. The pastors and all those that are leaders in the churches, are committing a higher crime, but the end for the leader and the follower is still death, destruction, eternal darkness.

King Solomon, who was maybe the richest man in this age, documented much of his findings for us in Ecclesiastes. I’m sure that we could take some of the things that he said in this book, and make it seem okay that what we have is fine, and that we are to enjoy being sheeple. However, he sums it up in the end, saying that all is futile, all the gaining and achieving and going and doing and enjoying, all of it is futile. There is only one thing that endures, and that is to simply follow the commands of Yahuah, to love Him with your whole heart, your whole soul, your whole mind, and all of your strength.

The first and great commandment to love Yahuah does not leave room for you to love your stuff too. Back in Psalm 37:4, if we read the beginning, it says, “And delight yourself in Yahuah.” When you delight, desire, hunger after Him; when you seek Him with your whole heart, with all of your soul, mind, and strength; hungering and thirsting for His righteousness; you will be filled; you will receive that which you desire; He will show up. That’s what that verse means, that your desire is Him, and when your truly desire Him, He will give you the desires of your heart.

Actually, as I’m writing this, I am beginning to see that Yahuah does give you the desires of your heart; He will give you those things that you desire whether they are earthly or heavenly, but He is the only treasure that will endure; the only desire that pays off. If you want junk, He’ll let you have it. But know this: you cannot serve your junk and Yahuah. You will not be able to gain all the world, and gain eternal life too. If your argument is, “Well, I don’t serve my stuff, I just have some nice things,” let me come into your house and start throwing it all away, and we’ll find out how attached to it you are.

Yahushua came with a very simple message. He said that you can continue down the road that you are on, the road that ends in death, or you can come and follow Him and receive Life. He made it clear that you cannot serve two masters: stuff and Elohim. He drew a line in the sand, it’s plain to see, but the question remains, will you open your eyes and look?

Ask the Set-apart Spirit to give you eyes to see, ears to hear, and a heart that seeks after Him / Truth, and then go back and read the verses at the top.


People of Prayer

Posted in Encouraging Words, Forsaking All, prophecy, Revies with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on Saturday, October 10, 2009 by crazychristcraver

I see a people of prayer that are rising up. Men and women that will sell out, forsaking all things to follow Him. Men and women who devote their lives to be an offering, a living sacrifice unto Yahuah. These are the mighty men, the men of valor. These fight for the lives, for the souls of the lost sheep. These men and women will truly find Love, and live there continuously, offering up prayers for the body, laying their lives down for their friends. These will be the ones to usher in the end time harvest.

These men and women will not be noticed by the world; they will not receive a reward from man, but the reward that is eternal; they are storing up treasure in heaven.

These men and women will truly be dispensers of the fullness of Yahuah’s grace in this earth as the heavenly and earthly realms come into alignment in them. They will be manifesting heaven on earth, the character of Elahim: Truth and Love—Light and Life—the ultimate power. The darkness will be pressed back, and in their presence bondages will be broken, all things will be made whole, not by them, but by the Spirit at work through them.

These men and women will look foolish to the world, to the “church”, but their eyes are not set on pleasing man. They are not looking to fit in or make friends. Their eyes are set on the prize, Yahushua, and they offer themselves to Him.

These are truly transformed; living vessels of Truth, right now examples of the Word became flesh.

These do not follow the voice of another, man or spirit, but walk in tune, in sync, in step, and do not stumble, because they know and follow the voice of the Master.

Many of these will not be found standing on a stage, shouting messages from a pulpit, but will be found face down in the dark or marching on the streets, nameless, faceless as they go, always remaining in the secret place.

Are you one of these? If you think you are, how badly do you want to become everything that you have been created to be? How badly do want to be set-apart (holy) unto Yahuah? How badly do you want to look upon His glory, all of His esteem, and for Him to truly reveal Himself to you and through you? I’m not talking about visions or dreams, but for Him to show up—pillar-of-smoke-and-fire type glory that everyone can see—how bad do you want it? What are you willing to give? What are you willing to walk away from? What is holding you back, because He’s waiting for you?

Walkabout: Day Fifty-four (Stop and Think)

Posted in Challenging words, Joshua's Trip with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , on Thursday, September 24, 2009 by crazychristcraver
Do you ever stop and examine your life? When was the last time that you stopped everything that you were doing, and contimplated the things that you have done, where you are right now, and where you are going? This world continues to pile on the distractions, the going-going-going of day-to-day, and leaves little time for practical thought, or for anything of real value. Any time that you do have to sit is spent on the internet, or glued to the T.V. We then excuse this time as relaxing. When was the last time that you actually felt rested when you got off of the couch after watching T.V.? Did you really feel better than you did before you sat down? No way! Not possible. If anything, you were more drained than before you started. Not to mention, you just wasted that time doing absolutely nothing.
Now this post is not to bash television, it is just an example of the wastefulness of our lives. As Americans, we have been taught to go, and do, without stopping to ask questions. We don’t think about why we are doing something; really, we just don’t care. For example, why do you go to work? To pay your bills; so you can have nice things; to eat; a sense of accoplishment; to retire? No matter your answer, it all comes down to the simple fact that is what you have been trained to do. Do you know where jobs came from? Who was the first person that started “working?” Do you know why that person had to start working? My guess is you have no idea.
Here’s another one: Are you a good person? What makes you good, or bad? By what standard should you measure your actions; your heart? Are you good because you are better than some, or because a majority of people that you know do the same thing? Why are you a good person? Does calling on the name Jesus make you a good person? Does praying a prayer of salvation make you a good person? Does praying daily? What about reading your bible, or going to church, or doing your best, or tithing, or good works? Why do you think that any of those things make a difference? Who makes the standard that you live up to, or try to live by? How are you doing against that standard?
I challenge you to go before the Creator of the heavens and the earth, and lay everything that you have done at His feet. Are you so confident in yourself to go before Him and declare to Him that you are a good person? What about your plans, your goals, the direction of your life, are they pleasing in His sight? Do you feel comfortable taking these things to Him, and offering them as sacrifices? Is the sacrifice of your life a pleasing aroma in His nostrils, or is it be a pungent stench, disgusting? I know that you can harden your heart before Him, as pride overtakes your being, and exalts your will over His, but if you are truly honest, you know the direction that you are going is not towards Him.
How can I say with such confidence that you are not going in the right direction; that you are not running to Yahuah your Elahim, the Creator of all things? How can I know this? The Scriptures are clear in saying that if you were going in the right direction, running to Him, clinging to His righteousness, that the fruit of your life would be love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, trustworthiness, gentleness, self-control (Galatians 5:22-23). I know that if you truly believed in the Messiah, the Anointed One of God, Yahushua, the One and only Son of the Most High Elahim, if you truly believed in Him, the works that He did on this earth would be done in and through your life (John 14:12).
Why then have you fallen short? Why does your life not look like His?  The answer is simple: COMPROMISE. You have compromised your life through the cares of this world, the deceitfulness of riches, and the desires for other things (Mark 4:19). Yahushua clearly stated that it is impossible to serve two masters (Matthew 6:24). Yahushua then states what a life that chooses to serve Him would look like in the rest of chapter six: you would be more radiantly clothed than even king Solomon as you are clothed in the very pressence of Yahuah; taken care of without storing in barns, with no thought of tomorrow; no worry–focussing continuously first on His kingdom is the only thing produces righteousness. At the beginning of this same sermon, Yahushua says that those who hunger and thirst after this righteousness, will be filled (Matthew 5:6). Filled with what? They will be filled with life–eternal life–the same life that flows out of Him, the life that flows from the very thrown of Yahuah, and later He says that that life would flow out of your belly like rivers of living water (John 7:38).
Now, some how it is of greater importance to please ourselves, than to please Yahuah. It is far more important to be accomplished, than to walk intimately with our Creator. It is of more value to follow the status quo, following after men, than to deny yourself and follow Him. After all, we can provide for ourselves what He can’t. We can protect ourselves better than He can. Our life, the life of this decaying world, is better than anything He has to offer. We don’t need Him. It would be nice if He would bless me a little more so that I could get a bigger flatscreen T.V. though, and if he would help me get a new car. As long as what He’s doing doesn’t distract from my life, the things that I want to do, having God in my life is great. Does that not sound incredibly foolish? Yet, that’s exactly what we are doing.
If you deny that you have become nothing less than an enemy of Yahuah, you are relying upon your own goodness, and you will most certainly find that you aren’t good enough. In fact He views your good works, your righteousness, as a menstral stained rag; disgusting, putrid (Isaiah 64:6). That is the life that you are depending upon when you face you judgement. You will find no mercy. You spit on His precious grace. You didn’t want to be burdened by His goodness during this life, and therefore you will be burdened with your own for eternity.
Will you continue to ignore that your life is miserable, that your life is substandard? Will you continue to harden your heart against the cry of the Set-apart Spirit, the cry of the good Shepherd calling for His lost sheep? Or will you begin to contemplate these questions; begin to examine your life? There is only one standard: HIS. There is only one life that measures up: HIS. Will you choose Him, to receive His grace through which all the promises of Elahim are Yes and Amen? You have no excuse to continue in sin. You have no excuse to live a life that is not pleasing in His sight. You have been given everything necessary to walk in the righteousness that He has called you to. All you must do is trust Him; deny yourself (everything that you know), take up your staff, and follow Him. In losing your life in this world (all the things you once treasured), and setting your eyes upon Him, you will gain His life; eternal life that can be lived today. Eternal life is not something that speaks of heaven, but what has been given for you to walk in today. Eternal life comes from intimacy with Yahuah, today.
You can truly know Him. You can go past reading about Him, go farther than just knowning His name, and begin to experience His pressence. You can find your purpose, what you were created for. You are created to be His living temple in this earth; that He would abide in you, and for you to abide in Him, inseparable. You were created to manifest His pressence, His character, to the rest of creation. You were created to take no thought for yourself, but to rest, to trust, in Him as your Lover, your Husband. When you focus all of your attention on Him, do you not understand that the infinite Elahim focuses His attention on you? He cares for you far more than you can imagine. His plans for you are far greater than you can comprehend. He is the only thing worth treasuring, the only thing worth setting your eyes on. Do not fail to see that He has set His eyes on you.
Grace and peace be multiplied to you in knowing Him who loves you.

Do you ever stop and examine your life? When was the last time that you stopped everything that you were doing, and contimplated the things that you have done, where you are right now, and where you are going? This world continues to pile on the distractions, the going-going-going of day-to-day, and leaves little time for practical thought, or for anything of real value. Any time that you do have to sit is spent on the internet, or glued to the T.V. We then excuse this time as relaxing.

Will you choose Him, to receive His grace through which all the promises of Elahim are Yes and Amen? You have no excuse to continue in sin. You have no excuse to live a life that is not pleasing in His sight. You have been given everything necessary to walk in the righteousness that He has called you to. All you must do is trust Him; deny yourself (everything that you know), take up your staff, and follow Him. In losing your life in this world (all the things you once treasured), and setting your eyes upon Him, you will gain His life; eternal life that can be lived today. Eternal life is not something that speaks of heaven, but what has been given for you to walk in today. Eternal life comes from intimacy with Yahuah, today.

You can truly know Him. You can go past reading about Him, go farther than just knowning His name, and begin to experience His pressence. You can find your purpose, what you were created for. You are created to be His living temple in this earth; that He would abide in you, and for you to abide in Him, inseparable. You were created to manifest His pressence, His character, to the rest of creation. You were created to take no thought for yourself, but to rest, to trust, in Him as your Lover, your Husband. When you focus all of your attention on Him, do you not understand that the infinite Elahim focuses His attention on you? He cares for you far more than you can imagine. His plans for you are far greater than you can comprehend. He is the only thing worth treasuring, the only thing worth setting your eyes on. Do not fail to see that He has set His eyes on you.

Grace and peace be multiplied to you in knowing Him who loves you.

Walkabout: Day Fifty-two

Yahuah is my shepherd; I do not lack. He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside still waters. He turns back my being; He leads me in paths of righteousness for His Name’s sake. When I walk through the valley fo the shadow of death, I fear no evil. For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. You spread before me a table in the face of my enemies; You have anointed my head with oil; My cup runs over. Only goodness and kindness follow me all the days of my life; And I shall dwell in the House of Yahuah, to the length of my days!

                                                  Psalm 23 (The Scriptures)

Thank you all for follow my trip this far. I’m headed out today. So very hard to leave my family. This time here has been an amazing time of healing, and restoration. There is so far to go, but I know that as I follow Yahuah, my shepherd, all that I must do is rest, and be. He is my Savior, my Rock, and my Redeemer. It is He that works out the kinks, all of my mess-ups for good; and it is He that deserves all the praise, all the honor, and all glory.

I don’t know where I’m going; don’t know what I’m doing; I’m just following my shepherd. Yahuah has been so good to me; His provision simply humbling. I am not worthy of such extravagant gifts, not worthy of the King, yet He still loves me. When He looks upon me, overwhelming; no words to describe it. His glory, His esteem; it’s only because He looks at me that I am of any value. I rest in His presence. I rest in His love. I rest, because I know that all that I must do, is be. I’m loved by the King.
