Part Thirteen
Who Do You Want to Serve?
Holy is He who has called you out of this world and has separated you for Himself and for His good pleasure. For His good pleasure not yours, not your mate’s, not anyone else’s."
Then you will be a blessing beyond measure to everyone, whether they understand the blessing or not, the Almighty and each person will work it out. So let us give Him our lives with a whole heart of surrender, placing everything on His holy altar. (see Romans 12:1) A wholehearted sacrifice on Yahveh’s altar is the least we can do. He gave everything. He is “a consuming fire,” and He will burn up this acceptable offering of your life— but don’t take it back, you are making an exchange. (Hebrews 12:29)
If you learn to discern and “…if you extract the precious from the worthless, you will become My spokesman…” (Jeremiah 15:19) We cannot speak making more half-baked cakes. (Hosea 7:8) Listen to Yahshua (Jesus), “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because you travel around on sea and land to make one proselyte; and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much a son of hell as yourselves.” (Matthew 23:15) They spoke with human traditions riddled with an unholy fusion of the word. Yahveh’s word mixed with human traditions was a whole new hybrid form of religion in Israel’s day and is in our day as well. (See Matthew 15:9)
For whoever does the will of My Father who is in heaven, he is My brother and sister and mother.”
- Matthew 12:50 -
With this counterfeit form of religion in place, Satan can easily lead many in the darkness of deception, but the light of “truth will set us free” to “walk in the light as Yahshua (Jesus) is in the light.” (John 8:32, 1 John 1:7) Many who are sitting in a “church system” have bought the enemy’s lies. The blood is lifted up, but are they all going to His heavenly kingdom? Yahshua (Jesus) says many would try, many would say, I’ve been serving You, as they are standing at the door pounding only to hear, “Away from Me you worker of iniquity you are lawless. You break My Father’s laws and I do not know who you are because you do not do His will.” (author’s paraphrase of Matthew 7:21-24, 25:12, Luke 13:27) The Savior says to us, “For whoever does the will of My Father who is in heaven, he is My brother and sister and mother.” (Matthew 12:50) We have not been taught the will of the Holy One of Israel. You can take offense, but you need to take that offense and put it on the altar, or else the offense will overtake you and your heart will become hard to the heart of Yahveh. The enemy in you is extraordinarily offended. He is being exposed and he is “the accuser of the believers”, and he will be accusing our God and Savior’s bondservants until they leave this earth—he should be accusing you if you are speaking for the Most High King, the Holy One of Israel.(Revelation 12:10) Other people will accuse you continually, just like they accused Yahshua (Jesus) from being from Beelzebub, the lord of the flies, the prince of Satan. (See Luke 11:15) Who do you want to serve? Who do you want to please? Whose will do you want to do?
Apostle Paul says, “But I am afraid that, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, your minds will be led astray from the simplicity and purity of devotion to Messiah.” (2 Corinthians 11:3) He says in Acts, “I know that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock; and from among your own selves men will arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them” “Therefore, be on the alert, remembering that night and day for a period of three years I did not cease to admonish each one with tears.” (Acts 20:29-31) Paul did not stop warning the first Gentile believers that erroneous doctrines would be brought into the faith to make a new hybrid religion. Religion is a very prideful institution. When Yahshua (Jesus) said, “Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees,” that yeast was not only the unholy mixture but it was also the pride of self-righteousness that says, “Who are You, the son of a carpenter, to tell me that what we, the religious, are doing is not right?” You have to know the voice of your Shepherd. His sheep know His voice and we, in the “religious system,” are also being called to make a paradigm shift in the ways we have been serving Him all these years. We all need a major renewed spiritual alignment under the headship of Yahshua (Jesus) by the Holy Spirit.
The cunning of the serpent led our minds astray from our sincere and pure devotion to Yahshua (Jesus). Although we did not know it, it has happened. Do you think Eve knew she was dealing with Satan? No, it was cunning deception, craftiness.
Just like in the Garden of Eden, the enemy came in and contended against Yahveh’s truth saying, “Did God really say that?” Do you think Satan came to deceive just a few? Yahshua (Jesus) says, “The great dragon was thrown down, the serpent of old who is called the devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world…” (Revelation 12:9). The Savior also warned His disciples in the end days, “For false Messiahs and false prophets will arise and will show great signs and wonders, so as to mislead, if possible, even the elect.” (Matthew 24:24) This hybrid, apostate, religious system that the Scripture warned us would come, has been here for a long time and of which we have been part. Yahveh God is saying, “Come out of her, My people,” come out of Babylon. (John 18:4) Come out of that religious system with its varied denominations. The cunning of the serpent led our minds astray from our sincere and pure devotion to Yahshua (Jesus). Although we did not know it, it has happened. Do you think Eve knew she was dealing with Satan? No, it was cunning deception, craftiness. The mystery Babylon was not full-blown right in front of your eyes. You did not say, “Oh, I think I’m going to become a Babylonian worshipper of Satan himself by worshipping the sun.” No it is all hidden in a mysterious cloaking. May you be loosed from all these lies that have kept you in a prison of deception where you cannot see straight. Do not look back. Do not be like Lot’s wife. (Genesis 19:26) Flee from the destruction that is coming, flee from Babylon. Recognize and flee from the Babylonian pagan roots that long ago infiltrated the church system.
