Philippians 1:29. Therefore, thou art blessed, because my Father has revealed it to thee. The revealing of Christ to us and in us is a distinguishing token of God’s good will, and a firm foundation of true happiness and blessed are they that are thus highly favored!

MY DECLARED FAITH WITHOUT CREEDS AND PLEDGES!

The Yeshua I worship and share daily through these postings and videos is the living Messiah who Yahewa [only once]  sent to fulfill this truth by being crucified [mankinds final sacrifical Lamb], died once, was buried once, descended into SHEOL once, [raised the righteous souls into heaven], Psalm 16:10 AMP
For You will not abandon me to Sheol (the nether world, the place of the dead), (Nor will You allow Your Holy One to undergo decay). 

Obtained the keys to hell and overcame death through the word of Yahewa! Revelation 1:18 KJV
I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.

After three days in the bowels of the earth, he was ressurected and after 40 days, of proving his ressurection ascended (alive) into heaven to be seated at the right hand of Yahewa, Acts 1:3 KJV
To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God: and being alive in heaven, is not required to remain hanging on the cross or to be reborn annually, as the symbol of my belief in Yeshua’s ressurection and ascension, which only those with a doubled minded spirit see and believe these actions as the symbolism of Christianity!

Because belief in our living Messiah is done by faith and trust in His love grace, promises, and words.

Thus, I honor the living Yeshua, daily, as the resurrected Messiah and give thanks for the gift of ressurection he has bestowed upon me, known as Salvation, the doorway to the light of life,(John1:4) revealing the narrow path leading to our eternal presence with Yahewa and his son Yeshua.

WARNING!!

The content you are about to partake may offend some because in their wisdom, they refuse to heed Jeremiah 33:3
[3]Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.

OBSERVATION!

As I sit at the table in the presence of Yeshua and ponder my walk and personal relationship with him (reading my bible), a question forms in my soul! Is there a difference between being a follower and a  believer?

Then I pondered if there is a difference, then how do we identify that difference? Can it be identified  in Philippians 1:27
[27]Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;

So, if I discern this verse, Paul is calling onto all when speaking, to make sure it is about our beliefs in our Lord Yeshua according to the Holy Spirits teachings who Yeshua is! Not about how we are learning to conditionally follow our Lord’s teachings according to mans discerned edits, as the Pharisees and Saducees did?

We will find in James 3:17 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. how to identify the difference between following and believing!

This next information is the Lord’s description of the actions of a follower!

God points out through the Holy Spirit, “You go on in your annual feasts and rituals year after year piling the abominations higher and higher. Do you think your external performance of religious services will serve as an exception from the Judgments of God? You can continue paying lip service to God and not reforming or humbling your hearts, do not think you can pacify an offended God, or turn away His wrath.

Then to add to this description Yahewa goes on to reveal how he is attempting to gain their attention to the errors of their ways! We know Yahewa always brings forward a warning to his Flock just before he releases his wrath! Few have paid attention to the Lord’s warning described in the following declaration!

For your sins will be punished with thunder {trouble} earthquakes {shaking}, storms {tornadoes, tempests {floods} and devouring fire {draught} {burning heat}.

This is the way our Heavenly Father is attempting to gain our attention that he’s in our presence and about to act!

We must then find a biblical description and I was led to Psalm 91:1-4

Psalms 91:1-4
[1]He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
[2]I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
[3]Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.
[4]He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.

OBSERVATION!

A great truth laid down in general, That all those who live a life of communion with God are constantly safe under his protection, and may therefore preserve a holy serenity and security of mind at all times

(Psalms 91:1): He that dwells, that sits down, in the secret place of the Most High, shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty he that by faith chooses God for his guardian shall find all that in him which he needs or can desire. Note, 1. It is the character of a true believer that he dwells in the secret place of the Most High he is at home in God, returns to God, and reposes in him as his rest he acquaints himself with inward religion, and makes heart-work of the service of God, worships within the veil, and loves to be alone with God, to converse with him in solitude

2. It is the privilege and comfort of those that do so that they abide under the shadow of the Almighty he shelters them, and comes between them and every thing that would annoy them, whether storm or sunshine.

They shall not only have an admittance, but a residence, under God’s protection, he will be their rest and refuge forever.

With this information, we are able to recognize and identify the perils of being just a follower of Yeshua who rely on the wisdoms of religious traditions, customs, celebrated feasts, honoured festivals all in the name of Yeshua, as a form of worship and righteousness, as a follower of Yeshua.

But not walking in this definition of a true believer, who is abiding with the light of life, Yeshua. He walks in (Psalms 91:2): I will say of the Lord, whatever others say of him, “He is my refuge I choose him as such, and confide in him.

Others make idols their refuge, but I will say of Jehovah, the true and living God, He is my refuge: any other is a refuge of lies. He is a refuge that will not fail me for he is my fortress and strong-hold” Idolaters called their idols Mahuzzim, their most strong-hold (Daniel 11:39), but therein they deceived themselves those only secure themselves that make the Lord their God, their fortress.

There being no reason to question his sufficiency, fitly does it follow, In him will I trust. If Jehovah be our God, our refuge, and our fortress, what can we desire, which we may not be sure to find in him?

He is neither fickle nor false, neither weak nor mortal he is God and not man, and there is no danger of being disappointed in him. We know whom we have trusted.

As I continue at our Lord’s table receiving his words I desire to conclude by sharing this final piece of scripture which in my estimation, illuminates and separates an active believer from those who are obligated to the  creeds and pledges that hold them to man’s customs, traditions and ceremonies!

Psalms 1:1-3
[1]Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
[2]But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
[3]And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

Robert a humble obedient servant to Yeshua and his Father in heaven Yahewa. And all of God’s children say Amen and Amen in the name of Jehovah our creator and provider of all things righteous and Holy.
