“`Of Whom the World is Not Worthy’-A look at Hebrews 11”
The great division is far advanced among human beings, as the forces of darkness are taking over in every country of our world to deceive and destroy, and to plant the flag of the kingdom of darkness on all soil, and take over the minds and spirits of the people. The speed at which they are this is increasing greatly. Abba put it like this to me recentlyafter Donald Trump’s announcement to Israel that brought such a backlash from the world: “The Kingdom of darkness is moving their Embassy to earth.”
Not only are they moving their embassy, they’re all moving in! They’re coming from their dimension, from the second heaven, and from under the earth. All portals of the dark kingdom into our 3-dimensional reality are wide open. Even themost basic goodness in humanity is being darkened. Mankind is separating distinctly into one side or the other, dividing billions into the kingdom of darkness,and the very few into the Kingdom of Light. There is such thing as a gray area to hide in! Those that walk the “lukewarm” path, the mixture of hot and cold, or the mixture of light and darkness—gray--will fallfrom the pressures of the kingdom of darkness. At Messiah’s coming, any remaining in the middle path will be vomited out of His mouth into the kingdom of darkness (Revelation 3, assembly of Laodicea).
We are watching the transformation of modern man’s nature to conform more and more to the nature of the fallen ones. The few truly born again children of the Light are getting brighter and brighter--more bold, more loyal, and more faithful. Their nature is that of their Elohim!
The forces of darkness are getting more and more hostile to the brilliant light of the “children of light.” The war is not only “on,” it has been on since Yahuwah created Adam and Eve. But, the final battle is definitely all around us, and plans for the Revelation 19:19final battle are being implemented.
Moses said: “Who is on Yahuwah’s side?”(Exodus 32:26)
Mount Carmel is also being reenacted.(I Kings 18) See the ratio there: 450 prophets of Ba’al, 400 prophets of Asteroth, and one Eliyahu. See the ratio in Numbers 13: Two in agreement with Yahuwah, millions disbelieving in Yahuwah’s faithfulness to keep His Word. See the difference in Judge 7: 300 on Yahuwah’s side, thousands on the enemy’s side. See the difference in Matthew 7:13-14? The few walk the narrow path to the gate to life. The majority walk the broad road to destruction. But, the “few” in Yahuwah win!
Notice the few in Jeremiah: The Prophet and his friend Barak, later a few others, but then there was the rest of the nation? Notice the few in the book of Acts: His set apart ones against the entire world? Well, that ratio is back. In our day it is the few on one side and billions on the other side. The few set-apart ones facea dark and evil world that hates us. No, like Sha’ulsaid in Ephesians 6:10-12, we are not fighting flesh and blood. We are fighting very real fallen angels and their hybrid offspring.
II Corinthians 6:14-7:1:Do not become unevenly yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership have righteousness and lawlessness? And what fellowship has light with darkness?And what agreement has Messiah with Beliya‛al? Or what part does a believer have with an unbeliever?And what union has the Dwelling Place of Elohim with idols? For you are a Dwelling Place of the living Elohim, as Elohim has said, `I shall dwell in them and walk among them, and I shall be their Elohim, and they shall be My people.’ Therefore, `Come out from among them and be separate,’ says יהוה, and do not touch what is unclean, and I shall receive you.And I shall be a Father to you, and you shall be sons and daughters to Me, says יהוהthe Almighty.’ Having, then, these promises beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of the flesh and spirit, perfecting set-apartness in the fear of Elohim.” IF YOU FEAR YAHUWAH YOU WON’T FEAR THE ENEMY!
In the true new birth, the Spirit of Yahuwah does 40 things to transfer us from the kingdom of darkness into the Kingdom of Light. In order for the true new birth to take place, there has to be repentance. Repentance is a severing event – cutting us free from what has enslaved us. We have to burn the bridges behind us to go forward in the Kingdom of Light.
II Corinthians 5:15-17: “…and He died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves, but for Him who died for them, and was raised…Therefore, if anyone be in Messiah he is a new creation, old things have passed away – behold, all things have become new.”
They can’t become new if the bridges are not burned behind us. Colossians 1:12-13: “…giving thanks to the Father who has made us fit to share in the inheritance of the set-apart ones in the light, who has delivered us from the authority of darkness and transferred us into the kingdom f His Dear Son.”
I Peter 2:9-10a: “But, you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a set-apart nation, a people for a possession, that you should proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light, who once were not a people, but now are the people of Elohim…”
As a new creation through the true new birth, we are truly born again into a family--a family who has taken the nature of our Father, who loves Him, obeys Him, loves His Word, and shares His salvation by the blood of the Lamb. The spirit is reborn so that it can become a temple for the Spirit of Yahuwah. But, He must be asked to enter, as we see in I Kings 8:1-14. Solomon built a beautiful temple with a “Holy of Holies” place for the Ark, for the Spirit of Yahuwah to dwell in. But, until He prayed or Yahuwah to come, He did not come. But, when He came it was dramatic! Read Acts! That book is your manual for learning the NORMAL LIFE of a true believer!
I Corinthians 3:19-20: “Do you not know that your body is the dwelling place of the Set-Apart Spirit who is in you, which you have from Elohim, and you are not your own? For you were bought with a price, therefore esteem Elohim in your body and in your spirit, which are of Elohim.” I Corinthians 7:23: “You were bought with a price, do not become servants of men.”
In the true new birth, we are severed from the kingdom of darkness by repentance and declaration of faith in the King of Light, whose blood has redeemed us, and whose resurrection has set us free. His children are a small group of people who are not like any other people on the earth. They are set-apart unto Abba from the allurements of the world. Their will (their choices) won’t allow the enemy to enter their thoughts. Their nature is transformed into His nature as they submit daily to His will. They fill their mind with the transforming Word of Yahuwah. Thus,their soul (mind, emotions, and will) is transformed to align to their re-born spirit. In this state of being, they transcend the world, their flesh, and the works of the devil. They manifest the fruit of a re-born spirit (Galatians 5:22-24).
The only way to align to the nature of Yahuwah is to submit to the transforming power of His Spirit, pray, praise, and proclaim His Name and His Word!He does have a “Book of Rememberance” - Malachi 3:16.
Romans 12:2: “…be not conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind…”
II Corinthians 3:17-18: “Now Yahuwah is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of Yahuwah is, there is freedom. And we all, as with unveiled face see as in a mirror the esteem of Yahuwah, are being transformed into the same likeness from esteem to esteem, as from Yahuwah, the Spirit.”
We’ve heard of the incredible resolve of the true believers in China, in North Korea, North Vietnam, Cambodia, Indonesia, Iran, Pakistan, and more. They’re also human beings, but humans who made a decision that receiving eternal life was more than saying a short prayer, more than agreeing to the belief system of their church. They understand the ancient ways. They understand that at the true new birth we lay down our life for the Master--no longer are we in control,only He controls. He is Elohim, we are not. I know how these precious onesare, I worked among them in China many times during 1994 and 1995. Unless we pass the “Test of Iyob” we cannot enter the Kingdom. [“The Test of Iyob”/Mikvah of Set-Apartness]
This ancient understanding goes back to Abel, to Seth, to Enoch, to Noah, Abraham, Yitzak, and Ya’cob, and on down through the centuries to today. These are our forefathers, our Elders and examples in faith.
Yet, how special are you? (Hebrews 11:39-40) The body of believers is not complete without those of our day who will join them in martyrdom or physical translation, before, or at, the coming of Messiah. We are all called to be living martyrs. “Martyr” simply means “witness.” We are His ambassadors in the earth, witnesses to all that He is Creator, Savior, Father, Eternal Ruler, Judge, and soon-coming King.
Messiah said in Matthew 24, speaking of our day, that it would be the worst time in all of human history, and that only those who endure to the end will be saved/delivered. That can mean the end of our life through death, or bytranslation. In other words, it is at the end of our faith that we receive our final salvation and rewards for faithfulness. We have a three-part salvation 1) spirit, 2) soul, and 3) body.
I Thessalonians 5:23-24, Sha’ul’s blessing on these faithful believers: “And the Elohim of peace Himself set you completely apart, and your entire spirit, and soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Master Yahushua Messiah. He who calls us faithful, Who shall also do it.” We’re not alone in this – He is always with us!
Please know: We are incredibly important to those true believers of past ages, who now cry out for us to join them in overcoming, standing against all the forces of the dark kingdom! We face the whole hoard of the fallen angels of all types, plus their hybrid offspring from the pre-flood days when they came down to mate with human women and produced monsters/giants – Nephilim, Repharim.We will also face one in human form who is empowered by Satan--a world ruler who has been given authority, power, and the throne of Satan.(Revelation 13) The struggle to survive in this decaying world we live in is wearing the set-apart ones down, as Daniel 7:21-22, 25 warns us. Many are being mentally and spiritually beaten down into dullness, depression, and even despair. But, take heart! Though the battle is now unseen in the spirit realm, soon the enemy will surface and we’ll battle them face to face. This will terrify the world’s people, but be a sign to the few of Yahuwah of victory.
A pastor-friend once told our congregation that “unless you have the victory before you have the victory, you don’t have the victory.” Translated: Real victory begins in the spirit, transferred to the mind,and is stabilized by the Word. Once we have His peace, we are assured that the enemy can NOT harm us. Never accept fear. That is a spirit NOT from our Abba.
“The righteous are as bold as a lion,” Proverbs 28:1 tells us. Thus we have the victory before the battle even gets started. If we don’t have the victory FIRST in our spirit and soul (our “spirit man”) then even if we win a battle over the enemy in the natural realm, we are ultimately defeated.
In the heat of battle, those who know their Elohim will be strong and will act in the might of their Elohim, wearing the armor of the High Priest. (Daniel 11:32; Ephesians 6:10-18;II Corinthians 10:1-6)
As we go forth in the “power of His might” in obedience to Him, knowing His will and proceed to do it, the zeal of the warrior Yahushua will rise within us, along with His controlling wisdom. The Spirit of Yahuwahwill empower us. This is what we call “the anointing.” It rests in the re-born spirit!
The basics of spiritual warfare must be natural to us. I highly recommend as a simple primer/manual Russ Dizdar’s new book Expelling Darkness, which you can get from his website: shatterthedarkness.org
Though we get worn down, His strength is in us to help us shake off the apathy, dullness, and hurts of this world, and look into eternity as we war against the forces of darkness. “We war not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers, against the world rulers of darkness of this age, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Because of this, take up the whole armor of Elohim so that you have the power to withstand in the wicked day.” (Ephesians 6)
It must have been very hard for Joshua and Caleb, and Moses too, to endure those 40 years. It was these three that killed the giants on Bashan – Og and Sihon. They continued to be what they were--warriors. So, when it came time to enter the Land, Joshua and Caleb rose to all they were – the warriors of Yahuwah. They led an army of the children of the faithless whiners, who said the Anakim were giants and they were grasshoppers. Those that said “we can’t” died off, and those that said “we can” went into the Land. They came upon hybrid beings right away, remnants of the Nephilim, and they overcame, first at Jericho. Yahuwahcommanded that they kill men, women, and children, even animals. Why? Because these beings were NOT human! They were hybrids of the fallen ones and humans. [Read my recent article titled with a word from Yahuwah to me: “You Take Care of the Giants Within and I’ll Take Care of the Giants Without”/Mikvah of the Great Adventure]
II Timothy 2:3-5: “Suffer hardship with us as a good soldier of Yahushua Messiah. No one serving as a soldier gets involved in the affairs of this life, in order to please only him who enlisted him as a soldier. And if anyone competes in a game, he is not crowned unless he competes according to the rules.” You are either a warrior of a defeated weakling. There is NO IN BETWEEN! We are what we are because we are submitted to one Master, or we’re submitted to our own weak fleshly thinking and feeling.
NO MIXTURES! Elohim hates a mixture! He is Light. No darkness is allowed!
Today, in the underground Black-op projects, the transhuman movement, there are hybrids being bred by the thousands – hybrids of robot and human, animal and human (super soldiers), and all the other mixing of DNA that went on before the Flood, in order to being back the fallen angel gods of old to rule the earth. America is a leader in this, but also Russia and China and other nations are deeply involved. Black-op science (occult/hidden, underground, secret science projects/operations) is creating beings that are not human.Many are being cloned for ancient spirits to enter. We are being invaded by non-humans that look human. The façade of the human Superman of cartoons and movies is a good example. Clark Kent worked as a news reporter, yet he could take off his disguise and transform himself into Superman with great power and even fly. All of today’s super heroes with superhuman powers that children adore in cartoons and movies, are very, very real. They shape-shift, transform into various creatures, and fly. It’s the same for the sorcery-power of Shamans and Medicine men, who literally can transform into wolves and hawks. When they surface, the true children of Yahuwah will be known for what we are!!!
In this day of battle, as the prophet told Jehoshaphat, we are called to be strong and bold, and go forth singing in the face of the enemy!
Read the story in II Chronicles 20 – a marvelous story to build your faith! Memorize the promises! Abba’s ways are unique to say the least!
Deuteronomy 20:3-4: “…Hear O Israel, you approach this day unto battle against your enemies. Let not your hearts faint! Fear not! Do not tremble, neither be terrified because of them! For Yahuwah your Elohim is He that goes with you to fight for you against your enemies to save you.”
Psalm 27:1: “Yahuwah is my light and my salvation whom shall I fear? Yahuwah is the strength of my life, of whom shall I be afraid?”
From Jeremiah 15:19-21: “Therefore, thus says Yahuwah …`Before Me you shall stand. And if you take out the precious from the worthless, you shall become as My mouth…And I shall make you to this people a strong brazen wall. And they shall fight against you, but not overcome you. For I am with you to save you and deliver you’ declares Yahuwah, `and I shall deliver you from the hand of evil-doers, and I shall ransom you from the grip of the ruthless.’ ”
