RESPONSE

11/23/2014

The following is a response to a friend who has been subjected to what borders on dismissal of her very real issues and ensuing problems. This is being done in "church" settings. It would seem that the world has more compassion and desire to "listen" and help than the Body of Messiah in some cases. After my healing and subsequent calling to minister to such people, I have been privileged to work with this woman, who is also a dear friend. It has taken years, but we serve a faithful God and she has been set free and is walking in power and strength as never before! Still, somehow those around her continue box her in and refuse to acknowledge the evidence of Ruach haKodesh manifesting in her life.


My dear friend, this response is out of a raw-ness of where I am today. It is somewhat emotional, but not unwarranted, I think. 


Thanks for this.(she included a blog entry) I have been praying about this meeting, about your purpose, about “mind-sets” that Mr. Blogger speaks of. Just because something makes a pastor uncomfortable doesn’t make it wrong. Nowhere in Scripture are we called to accept injustice in order to placate the uncomfortable. Upholding the standard of YHVH using vocal cords does not make you a gossiper or defiler. Sometimes the reality of evil must be laid out in full technicolor detail in order for it to be absorbed and felt and ultimately stopped. (see picture below) Scripture defines evil so that we can recognize it. What is “good”? Is it good to ignore the fact that hundreds of people a day are trafficked in the sex trade? How do you combat that without making known the details? Without sharing the horror and vileness of it? Without becoming the voice of the voiceless? Isn’t that what Yeshua did? He confronted the lies and the liars. Of course, with mercy, but we know that mercy without justice is not mercy at all. That only compounds the problem.
If those who have been victimized cannot ultimately speak to their perpetrators by way of standing up to the injustice and saying, “No more! Not to me and not to anyone else as long as I am able to share Yah’s power to heal and restore and rise above it to become all He has created!”, then what is there? Once the disciples were empowered by the Ruach, they each one in turn, declared the injustices done to themselves and others and demonstrated God’s power through them to make sure a line was drawn in the sand. I believe they even named names. Was this gossip? Let’s define the terms - Scripturally.

Your story needs to be heard along with the testimony of Yah’s power to heal and restore. My question is this? Unless the story is told, how does the ministry for healing come about? Initially, the graphic details must come out to those who have been called to “hear”. Later, it can be relayed in ways that tell the story less graphically, but still tell the story! You know as well as I do, that the years of stuffing did as much or more damage than the actual abuse. There are some who simply are not equipped to deal with such issues in the body and that is ok, but to establish protocol that says it has no place at all ever, is not ok. This is what I mean, when I say the body needs to recognize its own parts and be able to direct these issues to the part that has been put in place by Abba, Himself, for this purpose. Why is this not being done? Are we so involved in our own little kingdoms that we won't recognize the extent and diversity of the body of Messiah by recommending or directing hurting people to the ones who are able to help? Outside our little domain?

As we move through the prophesied times of the end, we are going to encounter evil on an exponential level. We are told that unless we face injustice and unrighteousness head on and declare the Word of Yah against it, the only place for us in the world to come is outside the Kingdom of YHVH. I guess we need to understand what this looks like. Father, instruct us to become Your voice, Your hands and feet, Your heart and Spirit in a wicked and perverse world! 



Only the power of Yah is effective against such evil. We are called to stand, to post the pictures, to describe the wickedness, and to find out what YHVH is calling us to do. I do not believe shutting the doors of the synagogue and pretending it did not happen because it is uncomfortable to view or know is the answer. It is a reality that is incomprehensible to some, but it is still reality.

KAVOD

11/21/2014

This is one of those amazing Hebrew words! This word in it's root form - kaf,vet,dalet - or derivative forms appears 376 times in the Hebrew Scriptures. It's basic meaning is to be heavy or weighty, not in the sense of pounds and ounces, but abstractly as in intensity, influence, power, or honor. It is usually translated into English as glory.

It is used as an adjective 200 times to describe YHVH. Although, the idea of weight or heaviness is not overt in these cases, it certainly helps us understand a bit more of Yah's glory!

Shaking is occurring. It is occurring in my world, privately and corporately in community. The Father is cleaning house, so to speak. He is true to His word to shake all that can be shaken and we are only seeing the beginning. How we/I respond to the shaking will determine how much of Yah's glory manifests. 

After a particularly trying week, something was bearing down on me. In former times, I would have automatically assumed or presumed what it was and proceeded according to traditional familiar teaching. Actually, there were a few minutes of considering the possibilities - depression, sadness, fear, demonic interference, disappointment with myself, etc. But when I asked my heavenly Father to show me, He revealed that it was "heaviness". The sensation was exactly that, as if I was being pressed on, not like being crushed, this was coming from inside and outside at the same time. Then I heard: kavod. 

I was experiencing Yah's glory. It was manifesting in this physical sensation. It felt at the same time, like I couldn't breathe, but also didn't need to. It was accompanied by a tremendous calm - shalom - another amazing Hebrew word meaning overall well-being in body, mind, and spirit.

What does it all mean? All human beings have kvod - honor - because we are created in the image of Elohim, and He is the essence of kavod. To dishonor another human being is to dishonor Elohim. Sometimes honoring another human being means doing the hard thing. For instance: not ignoring a disrespect to another, or not letting a child get by with lying, not excusing sin to accommodate your comfort level. This has been a hard week. Not only dealing with my own issues but also confronting others (of course, with love and respect). And I have felt His kavod. 

Am I special? If that means better than you - absolutely NOT! If it means Yah pays attention to what is going on with me, then YES! The heaviness/weightiness manifesting in/around me is the realization that He is there and I am His and He approves. This is more humbling than you can imagine. There is a certain assurance about the god I serve that empowers me to operate out of His kavod - and to be immersed in His. Let the weight of Your Glory fall...

    Napoleon Dynamite makes me laugh. The mountains are home.  I really hope there will be chocolate in eternity. I don’t have a lot of friends, but the ones I do have are spectacular! More than anything, I want to please my Creator. 

    How you live your life defines who you are.
