The River Bank

No one man is exempt from spiritual or physical trials, not even one. Yeshua our finest example was led by the Spirit to be tempted. John chapter 4:1 After forty days and nights He was hungry and what better time for the tempter (HaSatan) to do what he does best, and that is to tempt. Although hungry, Yeshua did not give in, nor did He accept any offers concerning testing God or bowing down. Yeshua did what no other man in the flesh can do on his own. When we are faced with uncertainties we tend to come undone, we stray from our spiritual strengths and pathways. How often do I struggle to separate the Holy from the secular. More often then not now a days. HASHEM is the ocean of water while we are small gatherings of water. What separates you and I from that larger body of water (HASHEM) is the river bank. The riverbank that we and not God have erected, the boundaries we have put in place due to our own weakness. We are empty vessels without God, clay pitchers sitting behind close doors. 

If I were to ask you what would need to take place in order for you to wake tomorrow morning having unlearned all your understanding and mans theology, what would you answer me? From the moment we hit the delivery room at that second of our young life, we hit the ground running. Our entire life until we decide to change direction is spinning out of control and in vain only you wouldn't agree to it. This message is not for the man or woman who's not going to take the time to have a relationship with the Almighty. You see, God is everywhere. God is especially in places He's invited, for example Revelation 3: 20. We must ascend to HASHEM  not the other way around, and yes, grace has always been a gift. The gift did start where many believe it to be, rather grace because of love is an age old standing stone. Yeshua being the Word and the Word was in the Beginning. The B'rit Hadashah (New Testament) is purely commentary on the Tanakh (everything from Genesis through the final book leading up to Mathew). So regardless if you're Jewish or Gentile The Tanakh is the root of all. The life form. Our instruction manual, and like all instruction manuals, the Bible is full of trouble shooting guides.

Shalom,
