ROBERT’S OPEN DECLARATION!”
My position in presenting these postings is done not as a pastor, minister, or teacher of God’s words. They are brought forward as messages to be discerned by those receiving them and choosing personally how to react. Scriptural foundation for their delivery Ezekiel 33:9
Nevertheless, if thou warn the wicked of his way to turn from it; if he do not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.
It is with great love for all given to me by Yeshua that you are receiving them. Luke 10:16
[16]He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you despiseth me; and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me.  And all of God’s children say Amen and Amen

SPIRITUAL FOUNDATION!

Mark 4:40 [40]And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?

COMMENTARY!

I find it very strange that so many who profess to be following the Lord are presenting themselves in need and begging from those who are walking as the worldly.

I desire to compare our current journey to Mark 4:37-40
[37]And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full.
[38]And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish?
[39]And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
[40]And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?

My comparison to these verses the boat is our current journey through this world as professing believers. The storm represents the turmoil, as believers, we will face throughout our journey, as we proceed to our final destination our promised land and eternal life. The actions of the apostles are those who profess their faith but do not turn to it in their times of despair.

My final observation is in what Yeshua stated after he demonstrated how the powers of faith worked. His observation in his words is describing a great portion of today’s Assemblies and the Ecclesia, which fill today’s churches. And he is saying unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?

Through this information, I was able to discern another part. The reason why we are taught to be in prayer always. 1 Peter 4:7-8 NKJV
But the end of all things is at hand; therefore, be serious and watchful in your prayers. [8] And above all things have fervent love for one another, for “love will cover a multitude of sins.“

This was my call to pray for all those who have strayed and compromised their belief, to return to their faith, and walk away from dependency on the worldly and place that dependency on Yahewa and his Son Yeshua to garner all of God’s promises.

Our walks today must demonstrate how faith works and why! We are past the days when talking about faith is enough. We must now as believers act on it, exercise our faith. Note to all believers, Our walk now should be fervently in faith, while trusting our Lord fulfills his promises.

The most common defense offered is I have to work, pay my bills, mortgage, feed and clothed my family. And the message from scripture is  Mark 4:40 And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?

Now part of being in and with faith is proving your faith is sincere and not just something you talk about to impress the gentiles who surround you. There is a period where it appears there will be suffering, and your prayer may not be answered. This feeling of despair and hopelessness is the fear Yeshua is speaking of in Mark 4:40 And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?

Christ was asleep in the storm, to try the faith of his disciples, and to stir them up to pray. Their faith appeared weak, and their prayers strong.

When our wicked hearts are like the troubled sea, which can not rest, when our passions are unruly, let us think we hear the law of Christ, saying, “Be silent, be dumb.” When without our fightings, and within are fears, and the spirits are in a tumult, if he says, “Peace, be still,” there is a great calm at once. Why are ye so fearful? Though there may be cause for some fear, yet not for such fear as this. Those may suspect their faith, who can have such a thought as that Jesus careth not though his people perish.

How imperfect are the best of saints! Faith and fear take their turns while we are in this world; but ere long, fear will be overcome, and faith will be lost in sight

1 Thessalonians 1:3 KJV
Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father;

Robert a humble obedient servant to Yeshua and his Father in heaven Yahewa. And all of God’s children said Amen and Amen.
