Bible Note: Thank you all for sharing your personal views. They have added to my store. popdzl, you offer an interesting perspective but Ray came closest to THE HEART OF YHVH for me in this matter. I'm sure you had no idea how close you came to the revelation YHVH is trying to teach me to walk in at this time. We are supposed to imitate YESHUA(JESUS), and we all love to do it in those things that are not difficult. But it says in: HEBREWS 5:8. "Although he was a son, he learned obedience from what he suffered." Here we learn of a different thing -- SUFFERING! This something we want to make foreign in our American culture but it is THE WORD OF YHVH and I have learned it really is the way to true obedience and surrender. The more severe the suffering, the greater the revelation. YESHUA, THE ANOINTED ONE(JESUS CHRIST), gave HIS life, (HE DIED and LOST FELLOWSHIP WITH THE FATHER), for my salvation and all that goes with it, to bring me HIS GREAT REVELATION. The acceptance or rejection is my choice. How can I expect to be like HIM unless I also suffer to learn obedience? It has been my personal experience that this is true and I would not trade a minute of it. At this time YHVH has me praying for the revelation of "THE ARM OF YHVH -- HIS HOLY ARM." This is why I asked the question. When this month began I had the flu, which degenerated into pneumonia and since the body carries several difficult diagnoses it quickly became a matter of needing YHVH'S intervention. The medical care I was receiving was to no avail. YHVH called upon several prayer warrior friends to intercede (I did not even tell them I was ill), and YHVH stopped the deterioration. When I was able to be up for more than 1 hour at a time, HE began to speak to me of "THE ARM OF YHVH; HIS HOLY ARM" and I know that I know it has to do with healing. This is a new area and will bring us into a closer relationship with HIM. YHVH had been leading me to pray for HIS INTERVENTION, BY "THE ARM OF YHVH, HIS HOLY ARM." Today, for the first time since this onset my blood is within normal range for glucose and the body is not exhausted. PRAISE HIS HOLY NAME AND GIVE THANKS TO OUR GOOD YHVH! HIS GREAT ARM, HIS HOLY ARM, HAS INTERVENED and I am well on the way to complete recovery and restoration. Thanks to all for the part you played in my blessing. May your blessings continue daily, while it is yet called today. Magdala |
