When we are faced with uncertainty it is easy to doubt or fade into silence. But to us who hold unto the hope of Christ by the grace of Yahawah our Father, uncertainty does not last long, nor does it dominate our thinking. Our faith causes us to hold on to the prophecies even in unstable times.
David, when writing in the spirit, stated, " Yeah,though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil(Ps. 23: 4)". And again, He says, "A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee...Because thou hast made the Lord, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation(Ps. 91:7,9)." This kind of sure confidence in the midst of great evil and impending doom is only found where great faith abides.
Faith is the source of our strength and the anchor of our fortitude in any and all challenges. Paul, when speaking to the first century Hebrew Israelite followers of Yahawashi, defined faith as, " the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen( Heb. 11:1)." Faith, then, is the spirit and witness of what we believe God has promised them that trust in Him and wait for Him to bring to past what he says he will do- to be a shield for us against all our enemies, both spiritual and physical, and to establish His holy empire on earth and throughout the universe. Faith will show all the world that what we believe God for was not in vain on the most holy of days- the crowing of Christ in Jerusalem at the end of the wars.
Finally, if you and I intend to face today's uncertain times with the courage of our ancestors, who believed in God and Christ, then we must always remember how we obtain and grow our faith. This is done by constant reading of the holy scriptures; for Faith "comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God(Romans 10:17)." And again, " Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path(Ps.119:105", and this too, " blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy( Rev.1:3)." We are always encouraged by God and His holy prophets to cleave to the holy scriptures for our hope and faith in God.
And after we have read the Bible and continue to read the Bible, God wants us to apply and follow the teachings and examples written in it- " For not the hearers of the law( the holy Bible) are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified( Rom. 2:13)."
Bothers and sisters, this is the challenge of our generation; will we give ear to what God is saying and like Noah and Abraham in their generation obeyed God and did as he commanded them to do? Do not let the terror of the Beast or the angels of the devil frighten you or cause you to forget the promise and hope of God to come through Christ our King.
Shalam,
David Zarach
Pray for all the believers and for the house of Israel as we move forward to the coming of Yahawshi:
Remember Venezuela, Haiti, Honduras, Indian Reservations throughout North America,
the violence of the inner-cities of Black America, and all the uncertainty we face daily.
