How do we know during this end of days, if someone is a true follower or even a true teacher of the word….  and is not out to deceive…?

Good afternoon, everyone from our family here in Kenya Eastern Africa 🌍

How do we know during this end of days, if someone is a true follower or even a true teacher of the word….  and is not out to deceive…?

 And maybe they are not out to deceive purposely…. maybe they themselves are deceived, because they are not filled with the Holy spirit. Maybe they themselves are not yet born again.

 Maybe they were tricked right from the beginning and accepted a condolent or other spirit.

 The evidence is in the fruit….

 When we look at the fruits of the spirit, we see that peace and self-control are part of it.

 You cannot have peace if you have any fear.

So, when we have a religious or spiritual leader telling people we need to know the signs…. we need to …. Stock up on food…. Even don’t let go of your guns…. Spending all of their time on political and worldview problems…. and demonstrating a spirit of fear…. And therefore, instilling fear in other believers …. what does this tell you since we have been told in scripture to never fear…. Not just a few times but 366 times…. DO NOT FEAR

 The question I want to ask….

 Do you actually believe you were ever born again to begin with…?

 Because I know that Messiah told us that when we see these things, to lift our heads! Our redemption draws near! … We are not to fear! We are not to be troubled!… But most of all we are NOT to LEAN on OUR OWN UNDERSTANDING!!

 These things have been put here as warning signs…. NOT to give us FEAR but to give us HOPE.

PLEASE, PLEASE, DO NOT PASS THIS TEACHING BY OUR VICTORY IN YESHUA HAMASHIACH ADONAI

“Also, He has put ALL things under His feet and made Him head over everything for the Messianic Community, which is His body, the full expression of Him who fills ALL CREATION. “

Ephesians 1: 22-23 CJB

Hashem permits the storms in our lives…. and in many cases even provides the storm….

 But in every case, it’s for our own good and His Glory…. His perfect will for our lives.

 But all through these storms He protects us in the storm.

 This does not mean He protects us from the storms, as He causes the rain to fall on the righteous and unrighteous alike, BUT IN THE STORMS, WE HAVE THE ASSURANCE OF ADONAI WITH US!!

 It’s actually OK to be in the storm…. Because this is where we experience our victory in Messiah.

 When the Talmidian/ Disciples We’re caught in the raging storm and saw what appeared to be a ghost, they were terrified and panicked.   Does this resemble what I am seeing amongst those who are leading today …. Those who call themselves apostles disciples pastors even Messianic rabbis are getting so wrapped up in this spirt of panic and fear.

 When we look at this situation for the disciples…. We learn a great lesson.

  Because during this time of panic the 1st thing Yeshua did WAS CALL OUT TO THEM….

” TAKE COURAGE. IT IS I. DO NOT BE AFRAID. “

 Most Christian translations say “IT IS I “But the proper translation actually is and was, ” I AM “To some this may be poor grammar…. But to those who are true believers and followers this is excellent theology.

Baruch Hashem.

It was ” I AM “At the burning Bush when he met Moshe. ” I AM, ” Is the verb ” TO BE “And consists of 4 Hebrew letters Yod Hey Vav Hey / YHVH OR YHWH.

 Even though the Mazorite text is injected with vowels …. It is dangerous to actually pronounce these 4 letters in a one word given name…. Because His Name is Holy and Sanctified ….  Which was revealed to us by Messiah in the prayer given to the apostles

“Our Father in Heaven, Holy and Sacred is Your Name.

 The only Name which we find salvation is given us In Philippians chapter 2 Starting from verse 6 read through.  It is the Name in which every knee will bow!!

 Alec Motyer, A commentator on the book of Exodus / Sh’mot, wrote, ” I AM   Is an open-ended assertion of divine sufficiency.

Whatever circumstances arise, ‘ I AM with you and sufficient ‘ Is the implication……. You cannot exhaust this Name. There always remains an abundance yet to be explored and experienced. There is no way that emergency needs or ever changing circumstances and demands can catch Him out and prove Him inadequate or reach the end of His resources.”

 It is more a description of reputation and promise of sufficiency.

 We do not serve a common God with a common name.

When Yeshua said, ” I AM “It was the complete opposite of the intense fear His Disciples were experiencing.

 This account of the disciples caught in a storm speaks of a truth that is conveyed in scripture several times!

Rav Saul / Paul writes of Yeshua, “He must reign until He has put ALL HIS ENEMIES UNDER HIS FEET. ”   Then he goes on to say…

” The last enemy to be destroyed is death.  For He has put everything under His feet ” 1st Corinthians 15: 25- 27. NKJ

 This means that anything that threatens us has itself already been defeated by the resurrection of Yeshua Hamashiach from the dead.

 So, if these preachers are solid in their faith ….  Why are they alarming everyone…. instilling fear and telling people to be prepared for starvation and suffering? ….  Because Messiah also said “it is better to lose this life and gain eternal life.”

 “Do not build your treasures here on Earth your treasures are in heaven.”

Yeshua is EVER PRESENT ALWAYS AVAILABLE, ALWAYS SUFFICIENT AND INEXHAUSTIBLE.

 We can have a Messiah who is up there somewhere ……or we can have the ever-present “I AM “working in our lives and circumstances.

 What we discover, regardless of how hopeless our situation seems, is that THE IMPOSSIBLE BECOMES POSSIBLE WHEN OUR DEPENDENCE AND TRUST IS PLACED IN YESHUA HAMASHIACH ADONAI.

OUR PRAYER; HEAVENLY FATHER, I realize you have already defeated anything that threatens me.

 Help me to be completely TRUSTING AND DEPENDENT ON YOUR PRESENCE IN MY LIFE.

THANK YOUR HEAVENLY FATHER IN THE NAME ABOVE ALL NAMES YESHUA HAMASHIACH ADONAI AMEIN
