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!

James 5:5 NKJV
You have lived on the earth in pleasure and luxury; you have fattened your hearts as in a day of slaughter.

COMMENTARY!

I ponder this question to the Ecclesia who walk within Yeshua’s light nurturing the teachings of the Holy Spirit and use his gift of discernment to  answer this simple question? “Do you believe you will live eternally?” I  look in the mirror and recognize this simple fact. YOUR spirit, is never going to die! Those of the Ecclesia who discern, recognize we were created in the image of God which is spirit and is an eternal being. Genesis 1:27
[27]So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

Now, we must take this thought process one step further. In the process of creating man, God separated him from the rest of His creation because He gave man dominion over all life He had created.

Genesis 1:28
[28]And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

So in order for man to take dominion, God had to supply man with knowledge beyond what those man would have dominion over. In order to do this God created man as a living soul in His image which is an eternal spirit. Genesis 2:7
[7]And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

At this point we must acknowledge what that separation from God’s other creation is. Which brings us back to the fall of Eve and then Adam and God’s action in response to them now having the knowledge of good and evil. Genesis 3:5
[5]For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.

Why is this important to acknowledge how we became aware of Good and Evil. In gaining this knowledge man lost his celestial body and inherited a body which even though he is an eternal spirit having a living soul his days in this realm which also was inherited are limited to 120 years. Genesis 6:3
[3]And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.

The significance of this information becomes clear when we understand that in these 120 years we will be faced with making a choice of whose arms we will choose to abide in while we navigate through those given years. It also becomes imperative we understand only God knows when our journey within those 120 years will end.

Whose arms we choose to abide in will have a great bearing on our day of final judgements. Hebrews 9:27 KJV
And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:

So, the significance of acknowledging we are eternally spiritual having a living soul looms large in our decision of who we choose to cradle us during this journey. I had always pondered why Satan strove so hard to separate us from our celestial bodies.

As I continued researching praying and meditating it came upon me that in order to obtain our living soul Satan had to get us to willingly offer it to him. There is no otherway for him to complete our separation from God eternally.

However, God will never leave us without a recourse and here is when He introduced our other choice of who we would allow to cradle our living spirit giving us the ability to live eternally with our living soul intact. John 1:13-14
[13]Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
[14]And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

Sin would still have been upon us, and have had dominion over us; but Jesus Christ, by one sacrifice, has destroyed the works of the devil, that believers may be made righteous, holy, and happy. As no wisdom, learning, virtue, wealth, or power, can keep one of the human race from death, so nothing can deliver a sinner from being condemned at the day of judgment, except the atoning sacrifice of Christ; nor will one be saved from eternal punishment who despises or neglects this great salvation.

The believer knows that his Redeemer liveth, and that he shall see him. Here is the faith and patience of the church, of all sincere believers. Hence is their continual prayer as the fruit and expression of their faith, Even so come, Lord Jesus.

The following may seem like an over simplification of our position in those alloted 120 years. However, what is at stake is quite significant with dire consequences. I bring to memory my personal description of hell. It would be knowing of Christ but being eternally separated from him, not being able to communicate or be in his presence or the presence of our Father Yahweh. For me that would be hell it would represent my continued burning desire never to be fulfilled and to suffer a second death brought on by my choices during those 120 years which caused me to sell my living soul.

The question here would be how or why would I willingly complete that transaction?

However, those who do not have a discerning spirit would, in their limited thought process, believe life as they know it ends when they die. And unless someone jolts them awake, these individuals will continue to believe they are going to die but spiritually have no answer to an eternal future but know there is a hell.  It is here where our spiritual choice is identified of whose comforting arms many will abide in.

We know that God has brought punishment upon mankind through the actions of Adam and Eves’ disobedience. As we continue to research, we are able to find what the offer is, which places one’s living soul into the hands of Satan. Note: when a man believes there is nothing more to obtain from life and is informed their is only misery and suffering to be had eternally. He, in a feeling of hopelessness, would willingly receive Satans offer, as in his mind, to have tasted of what is promised looks quite appealing. Luke 4:6-7 KJV
And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it. [7] If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine.

Now this offer would be appalling to a believer having spiritual discernment; however to an individual void of God’s knowledge this temptation will resonate to man’s desires to be comfortable and in control of his destiny if even for a short time. As the coping skills of justification and rationalization kick in.

Thus, the foolish dealing of his living soul willingly, brings him into a state of mind where the allusion of being comforted is pervasive and deeply entrenched, thus creating a false sense of loyalty to one’s benefactor, not understanding the eventual spiritual cost.

Remember, Satan is a patient legalist and now having possessed control over this living soul ,to complete and cement his hold on it, cause the delusion to deepen, and now creates a situation, inorder for his victim to maintain their position of power and comfort, more sin must be introduced into their lives. Which will draw his victims further from God.

Matthew 7:14 KJV
Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

How, being in the cradling of Satan’s arms draws you further from God is described here. You will find they will be unconverted Gentiles,  walking in vain fancies, and carnal affections. Men walking in the vanity of their minds?  They will be void of all saving knowledge; they sit in darkness and love it rather than light.

They have a dislike and hatred to a life of holiness. The corrupt nature is called a man; like the human body, it is of divers parts, supporting and strengthening one another. Sinful desires are deceitful lusts; they promise men happiness but render them more miserable and bring them to destruction.

Where in contrast we find those who place themselves in the cradling of our Lord’s arms many desiring to believe it to be a peaceful and gentle comforting space. Only to be wrong as a true follower and discerning believer is cradled for protection from the evils and temptations of the world. They are cradled because they are the advanced guards of the Ecclesia on the front lines of all our spiritual battles. Those being cradled are being honed, shaped, and molded into the men and women our Lord needs to stand on the frontlines and win back those lost souls that truly belong to God.

You will find those cradled in the arms of Yeshua have a desire and fervent love towards a life of holiness, which is not only the life God requires and approves, and by which Hus army lives to him, but which has a likeness to God himself in his purity, righteousness, truth, and goodness. These sttributes are only found thtough the ttials and tribulations suffered while in the cradling of Yeshua’s arms. It is the shsrpening of our faith in our Heavenly Father but as well the deepening of our trust in Yeshua’s intercessions on our behalf before Yahewa’s  throne. The truth of Christ appears in its beauty and power when it appears as in Jesus.

Through the tribulations we are given knowledge James 3:17-18 KJV
But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. [18] And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.

And for those so cradled in Yeshua’s arms who endure the trials, and tribulations you will find yourselves armed and ready to defeat our enemy. Those who are lifted up with such wisdom, described by the apostle James, is near to the Christian love, described by the apostle Paul; and both are so described that every man may fully prove the reality of his attainments in them.

It has no disguise or deceit. It cannot fall in with those managements the world counts wise, which are crafty and guileful; but it is sincere, and open, and steady, and uniform, and consistent with itself. May the purity, peace, gentleness, teachableness, and mercy shown in all our actions and the fruits of righteousness abounding in our lives prove that God has bestowed upon us this excellent gift.

Many will strive to find these inner strengths bur will come to realize to fully be prepared and ready for every task asked of us. We must submit ourselves into the cradling arms of Yeshua and suffer the trials and tribulations to come forward completely armed and ready to defeat all evils which may confront us.

However, more so than ever, we will be equipped to win back those stolen souls through Yeshua’s ability to work through us to claim what is rightly his Father’s. Only a truly dedicated soldier of God who was prepared while in the cradling arms of Yeshua, has enough soul to withstand the wiles of Satan in this battle. Are these individuals different or special? No, they are seasoned to perform in and with faith supported by trust.

My closing question so whose cradling arms will you choose the one offering comforts and leisure. Or the one offering trials and tribulations. The choice is yours.

Matthew 7:14 KJV
Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

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