The Power of Words

An avid reader and an owner of a multitude of versions of the book we call the Bible or Torah and other derivatives, I’ve fed my mind and soul over the years with many a proponent of truth.  I’ve never deliberately sat down to “memorize” scripture.  There have simply been words that have remained glued to my soul and in times of need, or in times of the world facing a crisis or disaster, they have risen to surface applicable for the moment in time and space.

There are words in the Bible that speak of end times and rulings by a one world government.  I watched a movie years ago called The Stand and have never forgotten it.  It is indeed about the stand during the time of a world that is ruled by evil, by the partners of the evil one whom we refer to as Satan or the devil or haSatan.  No, he isn’t red and doesn’t wag a tail.  He is flesh and blood as we.  He is deceptive and cunning and charming and many people are easily sucked into his diatribe.  He knows what the citizen desires in his heart of heart, and he gives the citizen what s/he wants, and then once hooked…well kiss life as you know it good-bye.  The Stand is about just that; believers in good and in God, who take a stand.  When I first saw that movie it struck a cord with me, and it seems these days it is coming to life.

Are we rapidly reaching that point in human journey when we will have to make the choice to take The Stand as portrayed in the movie.  I believe so.

Here is yet the beginnings of an article from a site that I am a member of and I am hoping I have permission to post it here.  Because it is a paid site, I’ve chosen only to give you a taste, so as not to breach any copyright permissions.  There is much here on the world wide web that can be found that will teach you, tell you about what is really going on; not just what the public press is paid to print.

We need to be informed, to know….to be prepared for that time when we are called to become part of those who take The Stand for good; for what we believe to be good and holy and the right thing to do – no matter what the eyes or ears see or hear.

Evidence of the old order collapsing is all around us

There is no need to have special sources in high places to see that the 230-year old “New World Order,” is collapsing on multiple fronts. All we need to do is examine a series of unusual news events reported in the corporate propaganda media to see that this is the case.

First of all there are many signs of a break in the traditional Anglo Saxon alliance between Britain and the US. The latest was Hillary Clinton’s statements supportive of Argentina over the sovereignty of the Falklands Islands. This sort of statement would have been unthinkable in the past.

That is not the only sign continental Europe is distancing itself from the US. France just announced the sale of four state-of-the-art warships to Russia. With the US still trying to portray Russia as an enemy and still engaged in various aggressive military moves against Russia this amounts to a serious slap in the face from a US ally.

Perhaps the most important developments though, are happening in Turkey. The ongoing purge of the Turkish military is a sign that the “young Turks” who overthrew the Ottoman Empire are being ousted from power. This is disturbing news for the Zionists because Turkey is a Nato member with a modern 1.5 million man army. Turkey has recently engaged in military exercises with Israeli enemy Syria and refused to let Israel participate in a Nato military maneuver in Turkey.

The fact that Congress passed a law condemning the Turkish acts against the Armenians over a century ago (how about condemning the multiple US sponsored genocides first) and Turkey recalled its ambassador is a clear sign of this split between Turkey and the Zionists.

As the long week-end here in Toronto comes to a close, I reflect on the few days that I’ve spent.  It’s been a week-end of soul searching; not what I had planned at all.  But, I expect no less when I turn my life back over to the Grace of God; for you see, without Him I am not.  Just now I received my daily e-mail from Aish (I’ve mentioned them time and again, and shall continue to do so).  One might think I am “Jewish” but, no I wasn’t born into nor have I converted to that “religion.”  I am nothing more, nothing less, than a child of God, who seeks to know her roots.

This e-mail contained a link that allowed me to download a pdf document entitled Three Crowns.  It is 11 pages in length and I only got to the beginning of the first page when my eyes glanced upon and stopped at the following:

WHAT’S IN A CROWN? (from Aish.com article Three Crowns by Rabbi Belovski)

The word used by the Torah for the decorative crowns on the sacred objects in the Mishkan is zer. This word is closely related to the word nazir, designating a nazirite, someone who dedicates his life to holy purposes by abstaining from wine and certain other things for a designated period. The Torah teaches us that he must avoid contact with corpses for:
…the nezer [crown] of God is upon his head. (Bamidbar 6:7)

The crown of God is upon his head – know that all humans serve earthly desires, but the true king, who has the crown and diadem of malchus on his head, is one who is free from earthly
desires. (Ibn Ezra loc. cit.) So it seems that the zer symbolizes raising oneself above the usual desires of humanity and entering a holier and more spiritual realm. Just as a crown sits on the king’s head, above his whole person, so too, the spiritual crown sets a person above the norms of the physical world.

Beginning with the first sentence of the second paragraph, “The crown of God is upon his head – know that all humans serve earthly desire….” I stop right there, because it does speak to me and it does speak to the journey that I am on at this time.  I am on a journey where I seek to seek that which cannot be seen nor heard by the human senses; I seek to know who I am and in order to do that I must go beyond the physical, the world.  Earthly desires that formulate into lusts are the causes of all evil that reigns upon planet earth.  We desire and when we get it, we desire more.  There is no end to it.  The flesh cannot be satisfied, is never satiated.

I seek to wear the Crown that frees me from earthly desires and longings, that I might enter a, “holier and more spiritual realm” I am not talking about some ghostly, spooky kind of place.  Yahshua said that the kingdom of heaven is here, right now; is within.  Therefore to find and enter into that holier and more spiritual realm I must seek within.  These few words that I’ve copied from an article from Aish speak much to my soul, to my spirit.  For me they are an affirmation that I am indeed on the right path; that all I seek is to be found within.

But I have to stop there and ask myself, “Why do I seek such?” Can it be that I am seeking these things that I might be “more important” and “lifted up” in the eyes of men?  Are my motives selfish and self-serving?  I like to think they are not; that I am seeking because He is calling me to seek.  Yahsua said, “Seek and ye shall find.”  I take Him at his Word; He spoke only the Father’s Word, my Father’s Word.  We are told as well that the Father’s desire is that, “none be lost.”

I live in a lost world.  I live in a world that seeks pleasures that pass like ships in the night; like whisps of wind, they come and they go, and the world goes on seeking more of the same; trying to grasp at contentment and joy in the material things of the world.  We shall never find these things in the created things of the world.  They are empty, shallow and impermanent.  But joy and contentment is us; is our very makeup.  We were made complete, in all ways, and it is within our very nature to return home to our beginnings.

As long as we seek “out there” we shall never be satisfied and this world we live in will always be at war:  at war with it’s very self and each of us with the other.

If I am at-one as it was meant to be (Yahshua, we are told, is our at-one-me[a]nt], then I am whole; we are one just as the Father is One.  “Hear O Israel, the Lord, the Lord thy God is One.” Hold it folks, before you go off on a tangent, it’s not about only the people in the land of Israel…and even if it were, dig back far enough and we’ll all find our human roots in Adam & Eve; ergo, we are all related, we are all brothers and sisters.  So I say to you, reader, “Hear O reader, the Lord, the Lord thy God is One.”

Religion, to me, is the greatest weapon of warfare that the evil one has formed against us, disguised as something good, then placed in our hands for our own self-destruction.  We may start out on the right path, but then man’s (my) ways take over and we try to prove to the rest of the world that “we got it right, you got it wrong.”  So the warfare, the never-ending bickering, hating, fighting and killing….in the name of religion and some even dare to say in the name of god continues.

Thanks to my friend Steve for forwarding to me the link to this video on YouTube.

This 14 y.o. girls paints heaven!  She is an amazing young person, who has chosen to follow her inspiration and in so doing is blessing the world.  She has become an inspiration to me; a reminder that we receive “gifts” unlike any other, that they be used to benefit and grace the lives of others.  Never too old nor too young; you can and will learn from someone no matter their chronological age.  After all, for YHWH a day is as a thousand years.

May this inspire you to shed the fears and deterrents that hold you back from full expression and fullfilling the purpose for which you were created.

As for me, I have to smile, for you see this is two days in a row now that I’ve received “coincidental” messages that speak the same thing:  shed that which holds you back.  Read the blog I wrote abput “Burning Your Bridges.”

As always, as the Word tells us:  first the word is applied to s/he who speaks, and then to the hearer.  It’s as if I am being forewarned of the great things to come; that perhaps the trapping security of a “guaranteed pay cheque” shall be removed such that I shall have no other choice but to face it and “cross the Red Sea” to the other side and freedom.

God Bless all my readers; may you have eyes to see and ears to hear.
