The Voice Of Yahweh

Food for Thought

Fowls/Hateful Birds

Are by nature birds that pick at anything.  Some are more ferocious than others.

These birds will not show mercy to the weak and dying.  They will pick till only

the bones are left, completely naked of flesh.  These birds if left unchecked will

eventually devour everything their craven appetite desire.

Scripturally, these fowls and hateful birds are depicted as instruments of

uncleanness.  They are the ones who will eat up the good seeds that are sown, enemies of Yahweh’s word.  These are The birds of Babylon”.

This is not the nature of the doves of Yahweh.  Yahweh’s people must not exhibit the nature of pickiness, not digesting uncleanness, not devouring the body of the righteous, but instead displaying the gentleness of a dove-like spirit and the majestic flight of the eagle, which showcases both the straight and the humbleness of Yahweh.

Dirt and Sand

Gen. 2:7         Yahweh formed man from the dust.

Gen. 22:17     I will multiply your seed like the stars of Heaven and like the sand of the seashore.

The Spiritual Contrast

Yahweh formed man from the dust of the earth. Lowest base: That which is to be trampled upon; not seen as clean, don’t seem to have any value, not comely to the eyes; whatever it touches becomes defiled.  This, I think was deliberate to humble man.

Although we know the true value of dirt, without it no life would exist, no food, no minerals, the wealth of this world, the medicines etc., but the point I want to make is this: That Yahweh in the promised blessing to Abraham, by His prophetic spirit, referred to Abraham’s seed as sand, signalling a transformation of our genetic makeup.

To facilitate purity, e.g. It forms the base of our rivers, seas, and reservoirs.  Without sand, the water would be easily polluted by dirt and other impurities.  It’s a filter.  We see sand when sand is placed and tried by the right temperature from the correct fire, it can be used to make eyeglasses, aiding better vision, seeing things clearer.  It is also a building agent in construction.  It is mixed in to become a binding or a component of strength.

There are many more important uses of sand, but I see this as a spiritual consecration of a people promised and sanctified to be as we are stars of heaven, to be numbered as sand, but more importantly, shine and build Yahweh’s Kingdom.

 Spiritual Alignment

Isaiah 28:10 –           For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept, line upon line, line upon line. Here a little and there a little.

The mighty one of Israel, Yahweh of Host, is an Elohim of order, of rules, of obedience.  He is not counseled, He is not subject to any private interpretations or concepts.  He commands, will not force, but does not make void His words:  He shows patience, endurance, even forgiveness, but He will still bring to being, whatever He says.

We must understand His ways are perfect, upright without any degree of variances.  His ways cannot be fashioned or shaped to fis our level of comfort, simply because they are designed and commanded to effect change, transformation.

No-one carries their car to an alignment stand for it to remain in the same state.  The problem must be identified and rectified, so we have a safe journey in our travelling.

The thing about alignment is that, it’s not about lining up, it’s more than that. Diagnosis is not solving the problem, replacing the defective parts must be done in accordance with the model and year of the vehicle.  You see sometimes we experiment and use parts which are similar but not really compatible, even though it may seem and even perform for a while quite good, there is the possibility of serious damage to our vehicle even the risk of an accident occurring.  It’s true, many conversions have worked beautifully, but there always remain a little doubt in its function and durability.

Our souls are too precious for us to take things lightly, even if at a glance they seem trivial, let us make certain that we are in prefect alignment with Yahweh’s commands, with the same apprehension and mindfulness you exhibit when one’s brakes are just fixed.  Use that braking humility when you are walking with Yahweh.

My sister said that by the Spirit of Yahweh that the cup is half and half and half.  If we add two halves to a cup that is half full, our cup will runneth over?  Does this mean if we have precept and line, we must also incorporate here a little and there a little?  Is this saying to us that we have here but there is also something out there?

A perfect body carries two arms, one here on the right and one there on the left.  Their purpose is to balance and help the body operate properly.  No one handed attack is as effective as two.  The enemy cannot cope with a unified onslaught.

This unity is not on the assumption of outside alliances, but even within the body, if what is coming from the pulpit is not what is received in the pew.  One set of the body is hearing and the other is not.  Some alignment work is needed.  Not of flesh, but by the Spirit.

Let us be willing to be placed on the altar of spiritual alignment, so we can be truly set-apart.
