The Promise Keeper Delivers

The Most High Yahuah watches over His word to perform it; because our Abba Yah is faithful to His promises! He sees His word to fruition, and He never lies. If He said it, He will do it! If He said, He will heal the land, He will heal the land  when we follow the formula in 2 Chronicles 7:14:

If my people, which are called by my name, shall HUMBLE themselves, and PRAY, and SEEK my face, and  TURN from their wicked ways; then will I HEAR from heaven, and will FORGIVE their sin, and will HEAL their land. This is not a one-time step unless we have walked perfectly without any works of the flesh - no strife, no envy, no idolatry, no hatred...

So, may we continue to humble ourselves, continue to pray, continue to seek His face, and die to our carnal minds daily. And as He teaches us more and exposes more of ourselves to us, may we turn from those wicked ways and seek His face. Seek (בָּקַשׁ, Verb, Strong's 1245) - aim, beg, consulted, demand, desire, eager, concerned, look, plead, pursuit, request, require.

That's the posture of seeking our Abba Yah, where our life, our situation, and our challenge require His presence. We've got to have Him. We will pursue Him to the same degree as we chase down financial blessings, career opportunities, success for our children, or our legacy. What greater way to leave a legacy than to demonstrate to the next generation how to eagerly beg and plead for His presence?

We should never expect blessings, healing, or restoration without first humbling ourselves, praying, seeking His face, and turning from our wicked ways.

We must humble ourselves before our Father and those whom we have sinned against or persecuted. Proverbs 15:29 says that the Most High is far from the wicked, but he heareth the prayer of the righteous. John 9:31 says, Now we know that Yah heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of Yah, and doeth his will, him he heareth. Romans 12:2 - And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

1 Thessalonians 5:18 - In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of Yah in Christ Yahusha concerning you.

The will of Yah is us being conformed to Christ, and not being confirmed to this world. The will of Yah is to give thanks in everything. The will of Yah is to seek first his kingdom and His righteousness. The will of Yah is to obey His commandments. John 14:24 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.

If we have walked in the works of the flesh without repentance, treated our brother wickedly, slandered their name, persecuted them, devised wicked schemes, run quick to evil, spoke all manner of evil against them, the rain should not be expected until the formula in 2 Chronicles 7:14 has been completed. He's given us the instructions to follow and promised a blessing thereafter.

He said before you bring your gift to the altar, make it right with your brother. Matthew 5:24: Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.

Matthew 6:14-15: For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. We need His mercy and grace. I need His mercy and grace, and guess what we must give mercy and grace too! To receive mercy, we must give mercy. That stony, bitter heart must go. Hebrews 12:15: Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby* many be defiled.

A narcissistic mindset must go, being able to see the flaws and sins in everyone else and magnify them, but minimize our own - that must go. Defending and making excuses for our sins, must go. Our flesh, our sin, our carnal mind, and wickedness is/was just as ugly as the next. We can't forget where we came from and what He's brought us through. Ezekiel 36:26 - A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.

If we did not require a Savior, the Father would not have sent His Son, but the truth is, we need Him, and we must be led by His Ruach, His Holy Spirit, and not our carnal minds. Yahuah, the Most High Yah, our Abba Father is faithful to Keep His word. May we be faithful to His word and believe that in our surrender, He will heal the land. He will restore. He will deliver. He will fulfill His promises!

Shalom/Shalawam (Peace and Blessings)
