YESHUA’S THIRD FOOTPRINT “WORK OUT YOUR SALVATION DAILY”


Note: This release is not just a re-release it is the sounding of  the Watchman’s “TRUMPET” as a deep warning concerning those walking in Faith. Your decision whether to read should not be made thinking you have heard this before and ignore it. “Your Choice.” Robert

Here is a prayer for all who are working their Audit to locate their path in the darkness that has encompassed all;

Father in heaven polish their internal lens and brighten the light within their hearts, so it may shine forth, for those trapped in the dark, so they may see and come forward. “Lord”, I come before thee as a humble servant seeking your strength to reflect your light into this dark world, that I may share what thou has bestowed as gifts.

As your humble servant, Lord, I have placed my foot in your footprint. And ask you loose unto all who follow and step into your footprint the spirits of discernment, understanding, courage, grace, pardoning mercy, goodness, kindness, and mercies towards all who enter their life’s journey, deepen their conversations so they are Godly and Holy.

I pray for this Father, so your children who Love Cherish and Honour your Deity will not cease in this world. This I place before thy throne for you to hear as a petition for your mercies to be upon all, Father, as we discern the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Amen and Amen, in the name of Yeshua, I pray.

OPENING COMMENTARY by Robert 

In the closing comments of “FINDING YOURSELF IN THE WILDERNESS.”  

https://romboughrobert.wordpress.com/2017/01/04/finding-yourself-in-the-wilderness/

I related to the condition of the world and the society we live in. I believe Matthew Henry (Oct. 18, 1662 – Jun. 22, 1714) gave us a description of how far from God our current society has drifted. Or you can say have allowed ourselves to be drawn into the conditions he describes in 2Timothy3; “For men shall be lovers of their selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful. Unholy, without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof; from such turn away.” 

What comes to mind is the warning God spoke to the Israelite’s do not fall into doing what is right in your own minds. I will ask you again, “HAVE YOU BEEN COMPLETELY HONEST,” in your assessment; I pray you have because, in this footprint, we are going to find truths which I know are going to definitely change your walk and, ultimately, your persona as a believer following Yeshua. 

The lessons we are about to receive are coming from Yeshua’s answers to questions brought to Him by the Pharisees and his disciples. As I have always maintained, we must, and I emphasize, they must develop and seek after a very personal relationship with Yeshua.

Again, I ask you to imagine we are in the presence of the Lord, and He is speaking to us directly.  I believe this is the real church, and as proof cite Matthew 18:20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. We don’t need to be in a vast building or group to learn how to draw nearer to Yeshua. In John 8:12, Yeshua states his position. Then spake Yeshua again unto them saying I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. 

Matthew Henry (Oct. 18, 1662 – Jun. 22, 1714) comments on Yeshua’s declaration Christ’s doctrine was from heaven. It was copied out of the counsels of infinite wisdom, and the kind intentions of eternal Love. Yeshua states I speak that which I have seen. The discoveries Yeshua has made to us of God and another world are not grounded upon guess and hearsay but upon visual inspection so that he was thoroughly apprised of nature, and assured of the truth, of all he said. 

We hear from Yeshua what he is teaching comes directly from Yahweh and should not be questioned because it is what he has seen and knows to be true and is sharing it with those who are drawing near to hear and believe.

Matthew Henry (Oct. 18, 1662 – Jun. 22, 1714) continues The Lord recognizes virtue has gone out of him and turns his discourse from the proud Pharisee’s. Addressing himself to those weak believers. When he had denounced wrath against those that were hardened in unbelief, then he spoke comfort to those few feeble Jews that believed in him. 

How carefully he cherishes the beginnings of grace and meets those that are coming towards him. These Jews that believed were yet but weak, but Yeshua did not, therefore, cast them off, for he gathers the lambs in his arms.

When faith is in its infancy, he has knees to prevent it, breasts for it to suck, that it may not die from the womb. In what he said to them, we have two things, which he saith to all that should at any time believe. 

The character of a true disciple of Christ “if you continue in my word, then are you, my disciples, indeed.” When they believed in him, as the great prophet, they gave up themselves to be his disciples. 

Now it is becoming clearer why Yahweh was calling us to return to following His laws and placing our foot in the footprints [Yeshua] left behind for those who like the Jews drew nearer and believed.

Once committed to doing God’s Audit and refreshing our walk, recognizing how much we really don’t understand why the absolute need to draw near to Yeshua and developing a permanent desire for learning as well how to develop a sincerely bonded relationship with Him.

John Gill (Nov. 23 -1697 – Oct. 14, 1771) I believe puts it in words we can understand and know what it is going to take to chose and devote ourselves. As well to creating a profound, lasting relationship with Yeshua:

John Gill relates: Yeshua states if ye continue in my word, meaning the Gospel, called his because he was both the author, and preacher, and sum, and substance of it. Stay in it, is having cordially received it, to abide by it, and hold it fast, and not to be moved from it. Through the temptations of Satan, the cunning of those that lie in wait to deceive; nor by the revilings and persecutions.

The frowns and flatteries of men, and when men continue thus steadfast in it and faithful to it. It is evident that it has come with power, and has a place in their hearts, and that they are faithful followers of Yeshua. Then are ye my disciples indeed.

There are two sorts of disciples of Christ. Some are only nominal, and merely in a profession such, and these sometimes draw back from him, discontinue in his word.

And go out from among his people, which shows that they never were of them, nor are the true disciples of Yeshua. For the genuine followers of Yeshua continue in his Gospel, hold fast to him, the head, and remain with his people, which to do to the end, is evidence of their being disciples indeed.   

Recall, I identified the Holy Spirit revealing that, I really didn’t understand much about my relationship with Yahweh and what it was going to take to walk in His Son, Yeshua’s footsteps. I pray many others found the same.

The Holy Spirit also asked if I was prepared to receive truth and then asked what was I going to do with it once I received it? His next question was, did I really understand what it truly stood for and its power within my journey and working out my Salvation?

After listening to Mr. Gill’s commentary, I profoundly understand what is expected of me as an individual in pursuit of drawing nearer to Yahweh through my personal relationship with His Son Yeshua.

I have always asked anyone who stated they wanted to walk in Yeshua’s footsteps if they knew what commitment was expected of them? I think Mr. Gill has explained quite clearly what it is and how difficult it is to walk in those footprints. I, for one, am prepared to do so knowing the Lord is there with me guiding, supplying answers and uplifting me because I genuinely have him in my heart and totally believe in His promises and teachings. 

What I am about to share is a caution to those who question and think they are already free from the bondage of the world and the darkness enveloping it and them.

Yes, we have received and believe we are living and walking under Salvation. The caution here is not to become haughty like the Pharisee’s who answered Yeshua “we be Abraham’s seed, and as such believing. There is no need to commit to an audit, as you have received Salvation through faith, believing your walk is secure and pure with Yeshua.

For those who are working on their review and stepping into Yeshua’s footprints heeding Yahweh’s call to return to the law and committing to Yeshua’s teachings through the Holy Spirit, here is a strong message you really need to hear.

The following is from the Mount of Olives delivered by Yeshua cited in John 8:13 The Pharisee’s, therefore, said unto him, Thou bearest record of thyself; thy record is not true. V14: Yeshua answered and said unto them, Though I bear record of myself, yet my record is true; for I know whence I came, and whither I  go, but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I go. v15: Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man. v16: And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me. Then said Yeshua to those Jews which believed on him, v31: If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed. v32: And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

  I believe John Gill’s (Nov. 23 -1697 – Oct. 14, 1771) comments ring true as he explains what is in store for those of us who have committed to the Audit. Are now seeking to draw closer, removing the false teachings, religious myths and fables returned to following Yahweh’s Laws and are moving into a profound personal relationship with His Son Yeshua. I believe here is where we discover what truth is and its powers over us. 

“And ye shall know the truth,….. Either the truth of the Gospel, the truth as it is in Yeshua. Meaning that they should have a larger knowledge of it. While others are ever learning and never come to the understanding of the truth. But the spirit of truth should lead them into all truth, and cause them to grow and increase in Gospel light and knowledge, or Yeshua himself.

Who is the way, the truth, and the life, and the sense is that they should know more of him? Of the dignity of his person, of the nature and usefulness of his offices, of the efficacy of his blood. The excellency of his righteousness, and the fulness of his grace, and that for themselves: “And the truth shall make you free.” From ignorance and error, and the prejudices of education, under which the whole nation laboured, and from the thraldom (slavery) of the law.

What is becoming more and more apparent of this particular journey is the need for a guide that I see as the Holy Spirit. The commentator Matthew Henry (Oct. 18, 1662 – Jun. 22, 1714) comments relate to this as a journey comparable to the Israelite’s following the column in the day and resting in assurance they were protected by the pillar of fire at night.

As we grow spiritually more rooted in our Audit, it is recognized it will continue as there is no time limit, but strong leadership is required as we have no clue where we are being led and what life situations will present. But know our final destination.

The Israelite’s were venturing into uncharted territory knowing their destination just as we are now journeying into uncharted territories, also knowing we have been set free from ignorance and error, the prejudices of education and slavery of the law having a destination to work at achieving being with our Father in heaven Yahweh. 

We now have a better understanding of how truth works in our lives and a knowledge of what makes one a true disciple of Yeshua devoted dedication and complete commitment.  

So now, again, I see even deeper how much I really didn’t understand my relationship with Yeshua. “Oh,” sure I was coasting along, believing my relationship was deep, and I was doing everything I thought I needed to do to follow and draw closer to Yeshua.

However, when the Holy Spirit revealed I wasn’t where I thought or hoped to be in my relationship with Yeshua, I wondered at first, then submitted to his musings and began to dig deeper. Quickly realized, I was bordering on believing in my mind I was right with God, and promptly understood, I had started to slip toward walking in Pride, Vanity, Luxury, Sensuality. 

Matthew Henry (Oct. 18, 1662 – Jun. 22, 1714) also confirms It is implied that there are many who profess themselves Yeshua’s disciples who may not be his disciples indeed but only in show and name. Then goes on to relate those that are not strong in faith to see to it, they are sound in faith, though not disciples of the highest form, are nevertheless disciples indeed only in show and name. 

CLOSING COMMENTS by Robert:

The common excuse I’m so busy making a living time is precious (Luxury), then if I make these changes, I won’t be accepted socially (Vanity). Besides, I know God been baptized and declared my Love for Him and always lets everyone know I’m a good Christian (Pride).

The real game breaker is how important the feel of a velvet shirt against my skin is. Recognizing certain fragrances heighten sensual experiences and will attract the opposite sex to have an opportunity (Matthew 5:28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.) to appease my fleshly desires (Sensuality).

Without realizing it, I was falling into this worldly trap and slipping away from building my relationship with Yeshua as three of the four temptations were growing in my life, I had sensuality under control. It is not wrong to present yourself professionally.

However when you begin to allow these factors to dictate your walk you have enabled the five natural senses touch, taste, smell, sight, and hearing to become the primary factors of how you will approach your walk instead of hearing the Holy Spirit guide, teach, chastise, and lead.

Putting it bluntly, you have become carnal and gather information about the world around you instead of about Yeshua, which is a stumble, but in some cases, it’s a drastic fall.

What was coming to my mind was the warning not to fall into doing what is right in your own minds, which I believe is carnally defined in Websters Dictionary as the capacity for the effective application of the powers of the brain as a basis for action or response: intelligence. Which Yahweh sees as idolatry. Romans 1:21-22

Apostle Paul relates how God deals with this form of belief v21: Because of that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. v22: Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools. 

Now understand, we are learning about truth’s power to set us free. But physics tells us where there is an action there is a reaction. Yeshua describes the response, which I believe many do not realize the power of sin has over those who commit crime if they took the time to understand, possibly wouldn’t commit sin. This is Yeshua’s message to all in John 8: 34-35 v34: Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin. v35: And the servant abideth not in the house forever: but the Son abideth ever. If the Son, therefore, shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.  

I’m closing with the following comments, which I firmly believe those reading these writings if doing the Audit and following the Lead of the Holy Spirit. Will, through  teachings, know in their hearts what Yeshua meant when He said: “the truth shall set you free.”

If it doesn’t, then, I believe Mr. Gill described you perfectly as one of the two Disciples, and you will know who you are. Mr. Henry stated what your position is as well, “many who profess themselves Yeshua’s disciples who are not his disciples indeed but only in show and name.”

My question to all, if you are not doing the Audit and cleaning house, why not? Yahweh has given us a chance to return to His flock. He is offering a pathway to Him through Yeshua’s Footprints, and as we have learned, it is going to be “TRUTH,” which is going to educate us and bring us closer to Yahweh and Yeshua.

I can see we are being offered an opportunity to know the truth and all that is needful and profitable for us to know, confirmed in the belief of it and definitely know the certainty of it. The blessing I received through writing this article is knowing I am in the darkness of the world, but God’s truth will feed me as one of God’s children, will bring me into His light and freedom from the darkness forever. I will first be a beacon reflecting His light into the darkness, so as a disciple, I can share His truth and Love.

As a 76-year-old man, I cannot understand how anyone would pass up this tender offer to do what God has called us to do which is simple once you take the time through Yeshua and the Holy Spirit’s leading to hearing Yahweh say “I JUST WANT YOUR LOVE AND OBEDIENCE.”   

From this day forward, when I say God Bless or God’s Speed, they both will have an entirely different meaning to me as both now represent His Truth. 

2868735889749cc41daf2da58f0003123195518346162872989.jpgRemember, these messages are given by a humble servant obedient to our Lord 0103db0c899cd0b8b69538e2367c4fddYeshua as a “Watchman.” I pray for all.” Our Heavenly Father brings us to the river, which bringeth forth fruit so we may partake of its sustenance and be filled spiritually with nurturing wisdom, and humble dedication in service to Yeshua. “”Blessings to All.” As you go forward in peace, knowledge, and strength. In the name of Yeshua, we pray Amen and Amen.

However when you begin to allow these factors to dictate your walk you have enabled the five natural senses touch, taste, smell, sight, and hearing to become the primary factors of how you will approach your walk instead of hearing the Holy Spirit guide, teach, chastise, and lead.

Putting it bluntly, you have become carnal and gather information about the world around you instead of about Yeshua, which is a stumble, but in some cases, it’s a drastic fall.

What was coming to my mind was the warning not to fall into doing what is right in your own minds, which I believe is carnally defined in Websters Dictionary as the capacity for the effective application of the powers of the brain as a basis for action or response: intelligence. Which Yahweh sees as idolatry. Romans 1:21-22

Apostle Paul relates how God deals with this form of belief v21: Because of that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. v22: Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools. 

Now understand, we are learning about truth’s power to set us free. But physics tells us where there is an action there is a reaction. Yeshua describes the response, which I believe many do not realize the power of sin has over those who commit crime if they took the time to understand, possibly wouldn’t commit sin. This is Yeshua’s message to all in John 8: 34-35 v34: Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin. v35: And the servant abideth not in the house forever: but the Son abideth ever. If the Son, therefore, shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.  

I’m closing with the following comments, which I firmly believe those reading these writings if doing the Audit and following the Lead of the Holy Spirit. Will, through  teachings, know in their hearts what Yeshua meant when He said: “the truth shall set you free.”

If it doesn’t, then, I believe Mr. Gill described you perfectly as one of the two Disciples, and you will know who you are. Mr. Henry stated what your position is as well, “many who profess themselves Yeshua’s disciples who are not his disciples indeed but only in show and name.”

My question to all, if you are not doing the Audit and cleaning house, why not? Yahweh has given us a chance to return to His flock. He is offering a pathway to Him through Yeshua’s Footprints, and as we have learned, it is going to be “TRUTH,” which is going to educate us and bring us closer to Yahweh and Yeshua.

I can see we are being offered an opportunity to know the truth and all that is needful and profitable for us to know, confirmed in the belief of it and definitely know the certainty of it. The blessing I received through writing this article is knowing I am in the darkness of the world, but God’s truth will feed me as one of God’s children, will bring me into His light and freedom from the darkness forever. I will first be a beacon reflecting His light into the darkness, so as a disciple, I can share His truth and Love.

As a 76-year-old man, I cannot understand how anyone would pass up this tender offer to do what God has called us to do which is simple once you take the time through Yeshua and the Holy Spirit’s leading to hearing Yahweh say “I JUST WANT YOUR LOVE AND OBEDIENCE.”   

From this day forward, when I say God Bless or God’s Speed, they both will have an entirely different meaning to me as both now represent His Truth.

YESHUA’S THIRD FOOTPRINT “WORK OUT YOUR SALVATION DAILY”


Note: This release is not just a re-release it is the sounding of  the Watchman’s “TRUMPET” as a deep warning concerning those walking in Faith. Your decision whether to read should not be made thinking you have heard this before and ignore it. “Your Choice.” Robert

Here is a prayer for all who are working their Audit to locate their path in the darkness that has encompassed all;

Father in heaven polish their internal lens and brighten the light within their hearts, so it may shine forth, for those trapped in the dark, so they may see and come forward. “Lord”, I come before thee as a humble servant seeking your strength to reflect your light into this dark world, that I may share what thou has bestowed as gifts.

As your humble servant, Lord, I have placed my foot in your footprint. And ask you loose unto all who follow and step into your footprint the spirits of discernment, understanding, courage, grace, pardoning mercy, goodness, kindness, and mercies towards all who enter their life’s journey, deepen their conversations so they are Godly and Holy.

I pray for this Father, so your children who Love Cherish and Honour your Deity will not cease in this world. This I place before thy throne for you to hear as a petition for your mercies to be upon all, Father, as we discern the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Amen and Amen, in the name of Yeshua, I pray.

OPENING COMMENTARY by Robert 

In the closing comments of “FINDING YOURSELF IN THE WILDERNESS.”  

https://romboughrobert.wordpress.com/2017/01/04/finding-yourself-in-the-wilderness/

I related to the condition of the world and the society we live in. I believe Matthew Henry (Oct. 18, 1662 – Jun. 22, 1714) gave us a description of how far from God our current society has drifted. Or you can say have allowed ourselves to be drawn into the conditions he describes in 2Timothy3; “For men shall be lovers of their selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful. Unholy, without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof; from such turn away.” 

What comes to mind is the warning God spoke to the Israelite’s do not fall into doing what is right in your own minds. I will ask you again, “HAVE YOU BEEN COMPLETELY HONEST,” in your assessment; I pray you have because, in this footprint, we are going to find truths which I know are going to definitely change your walk and, ultimately, your persona as a believer following Yeshua. 

The lessons we are about to receive are coming from Yeshua’s answers to questions brought to Him by the Pharisees and his disciples. As I have always maintained, we must, and I emphasize, they must develop and seek after a very personal relationship with Yeshua.

Again, I ask you to imagine we are in the presence of the Lord, and He is speaking to us directly.  I believe this is the real church, and as proof cite Matthew 18:20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. We don’t need to be in a vast building or group to learn how to draw nearer to Yeshua. In John 8:12, Yeshua states his position. Then spake Yeshua again unto them saying I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. 

Matthew Henry (Oct. 18, 1662 – Jun. 22, 1714) comments on Yeshua’s declaration Christ’s doctrine was from heaven. It was copied out of the counsels of infinite wisdom, and the kind intentions of eternal Love. Yeshua states I speak that which I have seen. The discoveries Yeshua has made to us of God and another world are not grounded upon guess and hearsay but upon visual inspection so that he was thoroughly apprised of nature, and assured of the truth, of all he said. 

We hear from Yeshua what he is teaching comes directly from Yahweh and should not be questioned because it is what he has seen and knows to be true and is sharing it with those who are drawing near to hear and believe.

Matthew Henry (Oct. 18, 1662 – Jun. 22, 1714) continues The Lord recognizes virtue has gone out of him and turns his discourse from the proud Pharisee’s. Addressing himself to those weak believers. When he had denounced wrath against those that were hardened in unbelief, then he spoke comfort to those few feeble Jews that believed in him. 

How carefully he cherishes the beginnings of grace and meets those that are coming towards him. These Jews that believed were yet but weak, but Yeshua did not, therefore, cast them off, for he gathers the lambs in his arms.

When faith is in its infancy, he has knees to prevent it, breasts for it to suck, that it may not die from the womb. In what he said to them, we have two things, which he saith to all that should at any time believe. 

The character of a true disciple of Christ “if you continue in my word, then are you, my disciples, indeed.” When they believed in him, as the great prophet, they gave up themselves to be his disciples. 

Now it is becoming clearer why Yahweh was calling us to return to following His laws and placing our foot in the footprints [Yeshua] left behind for those who like the Jews drew nearer and believed.

Once committed to doing God’s Audit and refreshing our walk, recognizing how much we really don’t understand why the absolute need to draw near to Yeshua and developing a permanent desire for learning as well how to develop a sincerely bonded relationship with Him.

John Gill (Nov. 23 -1697 – Oct. 14, 1771) I believe puts it in words we can understand and know what it is going to take to chose and devote ourselves. As well to creating a profound, lasting relationship with Yeshua:

John Gill relates: Yeshua states if ye continue in my word, meaning the Gospel, called his because he was both the author, and preacher, and sum, and substance of it. Stay in it, is having cordially received it, to abide by it, and hold it fast, and not to be moved from it. Through the temptations of Satan, the cunning of those that lie in wait to deceive; nor by the revilings and persecutions.

The frowns and flatteries of men, and when men continue thus steadfast in it and faithful to it. It is evident that it has come with power, and has a place in their hearts, and that they are faithful followers of Yeshua. Then are ye my disciples indeed.

There are two sorts of disciples of Christ. Some are only nominal, and merely in a profession such, and these sometimes draw back from him, discontinue in his word.

And go out from among his people, which shows that they never were of them, nor are the true disciples of Yeshua. For the genuine followers of Yeshua continue in his Gospel, hold fast to him, the head, and remain with his people, which to do to the end, is evidence of their being disciples indeed.   

Recall, I identified the Holy Spirit revealing that, I really didn’t understand much about my relationship with Yahweh and what it was going to take to walk in His Son, Yeshua’s footsteps. I pray many others found the same.

The Holy Spirit also asked if I was prepared to receive truth and then asked what was I going to do with it once I received it? His next question was, did I really understand what it truly stood for and its power within my journey and working out my Salvation?

After listening to Mr. Gill’s commentary, I profoundly understand what is expected of me as an individual in pursuit of drawing nearer to Yahweh through my personal relationship with His Son Yeshua.

I have always asked anyone who stated they wanted to walk in Yeshua’s footsteps if they knew what commitment was expected of them? I think Mr. Gill has explained quite clearly what it is and how difficult it is to walk in those footprints. I, for one, am prepared to do so knowing the Lord is there with me guiding, supplying answers and uplifting me because I genuinely have him in my heart and totally believe in His promises and teachings. 

What I am about to share is a caution to those who question and think they are already free from the bondage of the world and the darkness enveloping it and them.

Yes, we have received and believe we are living and walking under Salvation. The caution here is not to become haughty like the Pharisee’s who answered Yeshua “we be Abraham’s seed, and as such believing. There is no need to commit to an audit, as you have received Salvation through faith, believing your walk is secure and pure with Yeshua.

For those who are working on their review and stepping into Yeshua’s footprints heeding Yahweh’s call to return to the law and committing to Yeshua’s teachings through the Holy Spirit, here is a strong message you really need to hear.

The following is from the Mount of Olives delivered by Yeshua cited in John 8:13 The Pharisee’s, therefore, said unto him, Thou bearest record of thyself; thy record is not true. V14: Yeshua answered and said unto them, Though I bear record of myself, yet my record is true; for I know whence I came, and whither I  go, but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I go. v15: Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man. v16: And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me. Then said Yeshua to those Jews which believed on him, v31: If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed. v32: And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

  I believe John Gill’s (Nov. 23 -1697 – Oct. 14, 1771) comments ring true as he explains what is in store for those of us who have committed to the Audit. Are now seeking to draw closer, removing the false teachings, religious myths and fables returned to following Yahweh’s Laws and are moving into a profound personal relationship with His Son Yeshua. I believe here is where we discover what truth is and its powers over us. 

“And ye shall know the truth,….. Either the truth of the Gospel, the truth as it is in Yeshua. Meaning that they should have a larger knowledge of it. While others are ever learning and never come to the understanding of the truth. But the spirit of truth should lead them into all truth, and cause them to grow and increase in Gospel light and knowledge, or Yeshua himself.

Who is the way, the truth, and the life, and the sense is that they should know more of him? Of the dignity of his person, of the nature and usefulness of his offices, of the efficacy of his blood. The excellency of his righteousness, and the fulness of his grace, and that for themselves: “And the truth shall make you free.” From ignorance and error, and the prejudices of education, under which the whole nation laboured, and from the thraldom (slavery) of the law.

What is becoming more and more apparent of this particular journey is the need for a guide that I see as the Holy Spirit. The commentator Matthew Henry (Oct. 18, 1662 – Jun. 22, 1714) comments relate to this as a journey comparable to the Israelite’s following the column in the day and resting in assurance they were protected by the pillar of fire at night.

As we grow spiritually more rooted in our Audit, it is recognized it will continue as there is no time limit, but strong leadership is required as we have no clue where we are being led and what life situations will present. But know our final destination.

The Israelite’s were venturing into uncharted territory knowing their destination just as we are now journeying into uncharted territories, also knowing we have been set free from ignorance and error, the prejudices of education and slavery of the law having a destination to work at achieving being with our Father in heaven Yahweh. 

We now have a better understanding of how truth works in our lives and a knowledge of what makes one a true disciple of Yeshua devoted dedication and complete commitment.  

So now, again, I see even deeper how much I really didn’t understand my relationship with Yeshua. “Oh,” sure I was coasting along, believing my relationship was deep, and I was doing everything I thought I needed to do to follow and draw closer to Yeshua.

However, when the Holy Spirit revealed I wasn’t where I thought or hoped to be in my relationship with Yeshua, I wondered at first, then submitted to his musings and began to dig deeper. Quickly realized, I was bordering on believing in my mind I was right with God, and promptly understood, I had started to slip toward walking in Pride, Vanity, Luxury, Sensuality. 

Matthew Henry (Oct. 18, 1662 – Jun. 22, 1714) also confirms It is implied that there are many who profess themselves Yeshua’s disciples who may not be his disciples indeed but only in show and name. Then goes on to relate those that are not strong in faith to see to it, they are sound in faith, though not disciples of the highest form, are nevertheless disciples indeed only in show and name. 

CLOSING COMMENTS by Robert:

The common excuse I’m so busy making a living time is precious (Luxury), then if I make these changes, I won’t be accepted socially (Vanity). Besides, I know God been baptized and declared my Love for Him and always lets everyone know I’m a good Christian (Pride).

The real game breaker is how important the feel of a velvet shirt against my skin is. Recognizing certain fragrances heighten sensual experiences and will attract the opposite sex to have an opportunity (Matthew 5:28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.) to appease my fleshly desires (Sensuality).

Without realizing it, I was falling into this worldly trap and slipping away from building my relationship with Yeshua as three of the four temptations were growing in my life, I had sensuality under control. It is not wrong to present yourself professionally.

However when you begin to allow these factors to dictate your walk you have enabled the five natural senses touch, taste, smell, sight, and hearing to become the primary factors of how you will approach your walk instead of hearing the Holy Spirit guide, teach, chastise, and lead.

Putting it bluntly, you have become carnal and gather information about the world around you instead of about Yeshua, which is a stumble, but in some cases, it’s a drastic fall.

What was coming to my mind was the warning not to fall into doing what is right in your own minds, which I believe is carnally defined in Websters Dictionary as the capacity for the effective application of the powers of the brain as a basis for action or response: intelligence. Which Yahweh sees as idolatry. Romans 1:21-22

Apostle Paul relates how God deals with this form of belief v21: Because of that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. v22: Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools. 

Now understand, we are learning about truth’s power to set us free. But physics tells us where there is an action there is a reaction. Yeshua describes the response, which I believe many do not realize the power of sin has over those who commit crime if they took the time to understand, possibly wouldn’t commit sin. This is Yeshua’s message to all in John 8: 34-35 v34: Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin. v35: And the servant abideth not in the house forever: but the Son abideth ever. If the Son, therefore, shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.  

I’m closing with the following comments, which I firmly believe those reading these writings if doing the Audit and following the Lead of the Holy Spirit. Will, through  teachings, know in their hearts what Yeshua meant when He said: “the truth shall set you free.”

If it doesn’t, then, I believe Mr. Gill described you perfectly as one of the two Disciples, and you will know who you are. Mr. Henry stated what your position is as well, “many who profess themselves Yeshua’s disciples who are not his disciples indeed but only in show and name.”

My question to all, if you are not doing the Audit and cleaning house, why not? Yahweh has given us a chance to return to His flock. He is offering a pathway to Him through Yeshua’s Footprints, and as we have learned, it is going to be “TRUTH,” which is going to educate us and bring us closer to Yahweh and Yeshua.

I can see we are being offered an opportunity to know the truth and all that is needful and profitable for us to know, confirmed in the belief of it and definitely know the certainty of it. The blessing I received through writing this article is knowing I am in the darkness of the world, but God’s truth will feed me as one of God’s children, will bring me into His light and freedom from the darkness forever. I will first be a beacon reflecting His light into the darkness, so as a disciple, I can share His truth and Love.

As a 76-year-old man, I cannot understand how anyone would pass up this tender offer to do what God has called us to do which is simple once you take the time through Yeshua and the Holy Spirit’s leading to hearing Yahweh say “I JUST WANT YOUR LOVE AND OBEDIENCE.”   

From this day forward, when I say God Bless or God’s Speed, they both will have an entirely different meaning to me as both now represent His Truth.

“OBEDIENCE” “WHERE, ARE YOU IN IT?”



MONEY 2
Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death or obedience unto righteousness
Romans 6:16

PRE-AMBLE by Robert

These articles like a puzzle bring together multiple bits and pieces of spiritual information, for all to use as assessments of where they stand in their personal relationship with our Father (God) and His Son (Yeshua). Interestingly enough as I have researched each article, I’m recognizing my life and walk are being affected as it should be. What I am researching now is showing me I have taken too much time concerning myself with the events occurring in this SHEPHERD 3world both economically and politically. However, as our Lord put it in Matthew 6:27 and I know I am not alone in this, small stumble, because I have heard, “but it’s human, that you care about the things we are living with these days.” In answer, “Yeshua,” through the Holy Spirit gently pointed me to this: “Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? V:27 “Very humbling!”

In this article, we will learn what Our Lord Yeshua meant by these words. We will be shown what our real walk with Him should be. But as well what lies ahead for those who do listen, learn, and walk in obedience to His teachings through the Holy Spirit. What lies ahead will assuredly bring disturbing information, but rightfully, needed to effect correction within our reasoning and our genuine commitment we recognize as Obedience. The Holy Spirit has some eye-opening soul-shaking lessons in store as we move forward in our walk on the narrow path.

OPENING PRAYER by Robert. 

HOLY SPIRITHeavenly Father reveal to us, what we need to understand to be in your presence now and in eternity. We know Lord the unrighteous shall not be there, explain to us Father our position in your eyes. We know Lord we are not to be deceived or commit grievous acts fornication, idolatries, or abuse of ourselves in any manner or those within our world and lives, nor should we be drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners. Bring us your divine knowledge so we might fight these temptations. Strengthen us Lord so we might walk in your light and your name. Share with us Father a deep spirit of seeking wisdom to acknowledge being obedient to your calling us to follow your laws. We pray this in your name Yeshua, Amen and Amen.

OPENING STATEMENT by Robert

JESUS 13There is scarcely any one sin against which our Lord Yeshua more largely and earnestly warned His disciples. Or against which he armed them with more variety of arguments than the sin of disquieting, distracting, and distrustful cares about the things of life, which are a bad sign, both the treasure and the heart are on worldly events.

We hear from John Gill (1697 – 1771) some pointed comments “Which of you by taking thought, As Yeshua argued before, from the unnecessariness of anxious thoughts and cares, about the provisions of life, so here, from the unprofitableness of them, it is impossible for a man, with all his care and thought, to add one cubit unto his stature. Or “to his age,” so the word is rendered (John 9:21) to the days of his life, he is so solicitous about.” Just a quick note here according to (Misn. Erubim, c 4. sect. 5. & Negaim, c. 13. sect. 11. Bartenora) The stature of an ordinary man is three cubits.  Taking into consideration this measure was first used in the 14th Century, it was based on the length of the forearm from the middle finger and usually equal to about 18 inches (46 Centimeters). [Merriam-Webster Dictionary].  

The sense of the word is this, that no man, by all the care and thought he could make use of, is ever able to add one cubit or the least measure to his days, he cannot lengthen out his life one year, one month, one day, one hour, no, not one moment. 

The commentary as mentioned earlier shows we should take no thought for our life. Not about the length of it; but refer it to God to lengthen or shorten as he IMG_-8hk1vz-1.jpgpleases; recognize our times are in his hands, and in good hands they are. We should not fret about the comforts of this life, but leave it to God to make it bitter or sweet as he pleases.  

It is here where there is a form of separation of those who are awakened in the spirit and those who remain idle and indifferent. When the Lord declared “The Kingdom of Heaven is at Hand,” The Apostle Matthew reported; Yeshua went up into the mountain, “perhaps” for the purpose of   selecting His audience, The idle and indifferent would stay down on the plain, only those who were in some measure stirred in spirit would follow Him. As Yeshua climbed the steep ascent from the shore of the lake to the plateau above and in their minds they would in all probability be revolving around such questions as these: 1).”What is this kingdom, what advantages does it offer, and who are the people that belong to it? 2). What is required of those that belong to it? What are its laws and obligations?” And if these two questions were answered satisfactorily, a third would naturally follow. 3). “How may those who desire to share its privileges and assume its obligations become citizens of it?” These accordingly, are the three great questions dealt with in succession. 

In correlation with the three questions, we researched what Matthew Henry (1662 – 1774) had to say about obedience and how it affects our walk and well being and fits within the first question:  Food and raiment God has promised. Therefore JESUS 05we may expect them. Take no thought for the morrow, for the time to come. Be not anxious for the future, how you shall live next year, or when you are old, or what you shall leave behind you. As we must not boast of tomorrow, so we must not care for tomorrow or the events of it. God has given us life and has given us the body. And what can he not do for us, who did that? If we take care of our souls and for eternity, which is more than the body and its life, we may leave it to God to provide for us food and clothing, which are less. Improve this as an encouragement to trust in God.

We must reconcile ourselves to our worldly condition, as we do to our stature. We cannot alter the disposals of Providence. Therefore we muMIRACLE OF BREAD & FISHES 1st submit and resign ourselves to them. Thoughtfulness for our souls is the best cure for the indulgence of worldly possessions. Seek first the kingdom of God, and make belief in Yeshua your business: say not this is the way to starve; no, it is the way to be well provided for, even in this world. The conclusion of the whole matter is, this is the will and command of our Lord Yeshua, by daily prayers, we will gain strength to lift us up under our daily travails and arm us against the temptations which accompany them, and then let none tempt us. Joyous are those who take the Lord for their God, and make the full witness of it through trusting themselves wholly to his wise disposal. Let your Spirit convince you of sinCANDY 004 in the desire of this disposition, and remove the worldliness from your heart. I refer you back to the Article published September 13, 2018, “IS CONTENTMENT YOUR GAIN?” “Every sort of wickedness and vice, in one way or another, grows from the love of money.” 

Through his commentary Matthew Henry (1662 – 1774) reveals what to be wary of: Our Lord next warned against hypocrisy and outward show in religious duties. What we do, must be done from an inward principle, that we may be approved of PEOPLE 7God, not that we may be praised by men. In these verses, we are cautioned against hypocrisy in giving alms. Take heed of it. It is a subtle sin; and vain-glory creeps into what we do, before we are aware. But the duty is not the less necessary and excellent for being abused by hypocrites to serve their pride. The doom Yeshua passes, at first, may seem a promise, but it is their reward; not the reward God promises to those who do good, but the reward hypocrites promise themselves, and a poor reward it is; they did it to be seen of men, and they are seen of men. When we take the least notice of our good deeds ourselves, God takes most notice of them. He will reward thee; not as a master who gives his servant what he earns, and no more, but as a Father who gives abundantly to his son that serves him.

It is taken for granted that all who are disciples of Christ pray. You may as soon find a living man that does not breathe, as a living Believer who does not pray. If prayerless, then graceless. The Scribes and Pharisees were guilty of two great faults in prayer, vain-glory, and vain repetitions. “Verily they have their reward;” if in so great a matter as is between God and us, when we are at prayer, we can look to so poor a thing as the praise of men, it is just that it should be all our reward.             

Matthew Henry (1662 – 1774) relates: “Yet there is not a secret, sudden breathing after God, but he observes it. It is called a reward, but it is of grace, not of debt; what merit can there be in begging? If he does not give his people what they ask, it is because he knows they do not need it, and that it is not for their good. So far is God from being wrought upon by the length or words of our prayers, that the most powerful intercessions are those which are made with groanings that cannot be uttered. Let us well study what is shown of the frame of mind in which our prayers should be offered, and learn daily from Christ how to pray.” 

Worldly-mindedness is a common and fatal symptom of hypocrisy, for by no sin can Satan have a surer and faster hold of the soul, under the cloak of a profession of religion. Something the soul will have, which it looks upon as the best thing; in MEETING 2which it has pleasure and confidence above other things. Christ counsels to make our best things the joys and glories of the other world, those things not seen which are eternal, and to place our happiness in them. There are treasures in heaven. It is our wisdom to give all diligence to make our title to eternal life sure through Yeshua, and to look on all things here below, as not worthy to be compared with it, and to be content with nothing short of it. It is happiness above and beyond the changes and chances of time, an inheritance incorruptible. The worldly man is wrong in his first principle; therefore all his reasonings and actions from that place must be faulty. It is equally to be applied to false religion; that which is deemed light is thick darkness. This is awful, but a typical case; we should therefore carefully examine our leading principles by the word of God, with earnest prayer for the teaching of his Spirit. A man may do some service to two masters, but he can devote himself to the service of no more than one. God requires the whole heart, and will not share it with the world. When two masters oppose each other, no man can serve both. He who holds to the world and loves it must despise God; he who loves God must give up the friendship of the world. 

Matthew Henry (1662 – 1774) encourages us to pray and states how we should approach it: Prayer is the appointed means for obtaining what we need. Pray; pray ELISHA & ELIJAHoften; make a business of prayer, and be serious and earnest in it. Ask, as a beggar asks alms. Ask, as a traveler asks the way. Seek, as for a thing of value that we have lost; or as the merchantman that seeks goodly pearls. Knock, as he that desires to enter into the house knocks at the door. Sin has shut and barred the door against us; by prayer, we knock. Whatever you pray for, according to the promise, shall be given you, if God sees it fit for you, and what would you have more? This is made to apply to all that pray aright; every one that asketh receiveth, whether Jew or Gentile, young or old, rich or poor, high or low, master or servant, learned or unlearned, all are alike welcome to the throne of grace, if they come in faith. It is explained by a comparison taken from earthly parents, and their readiness to give their children what they ask. Parents are often foolishly fond, but God is all-wise; he knows what we need, what we desire, and what is fit for us. Let us never suppose our heavenly Father would bid us pray, and then refuse to hear, or give us what would be hurtful.

Nothing so much prevents men from entering the strait gate, and becoming true followers of Yeshua, as the carnal, soothing, flattering doctrines of those who oppose the truth. They may be known by the drift and effects of their theories. Some part of their temper and conduct is contrary to the mind of Christ. Those opinions come not from God that lead to sin.

CLOSING STATEMENT by Robert

I don’t think it could be any clearer what we are able to gain through true faith. What I am taking away from this research on a personal level is the following Scan_20180701three things “ASK,” “SEEK,” “KNOCK.” Yeshua knocks at our door (Rev.3:20, Song of Solomon 5:2) and allows us to knock at His, which is a favor we do not allow common beggars. What I am seeing is seeking and knocking imply something more than asking and praying. We must not only ask but seek, we must second our prayers with our endeavors we must, in the use of the appointed means, seek for that which we ask for, else we tempt God. 

God gives knowledge and grace to those that search the scriptures, and wait at Wisdom’s gates and power against sin. We must not only ask but knock we must come to God’s door, must ask importunately not only pray but plead and wrestle with God we must seek diligently we must continue knocking must persevere in prayer, and in the use of means must endure to the end in the duty. The precept is threefold, ask, seek, knock there is precept upon precept, but the promise is sixfold, line upon line for our encouragement because a firm belief of the promise would make us cheerful and constant in our obedience. 

CLOSING PRAYER by Robert

JACOB'S LADDER 1Heavenly Father we are so thankful Lord for your promise to hear our prayer and answer according to your will. You told us Lord ask and you shall receive, you ask us to seek, and we shall find. We have sought you Lord and found you each time and give praise for you being there Father. You tell us to knock, and the door will be opened the door of mercy and grace thank you Lord for those gifts. We thank you, Father, for all things promised and received through faith. This we Pray in the name of Yeshua, Amen, and Amen. 

Remember these messages come from an obedient, “Watchmen” sounding the horn about an evil. We come to God as children to a Father in Heaven, with reverence and confidence. How naturally does a child in want or distress run to the Father with its complaints? Thus should the new nature send us to God for supports and supplies. 

May our Father bless and keep you well as our journey continues.
