CONFIRM

Posted on: 24-10-2019


Many times, it happens with us that the spirit of the Living God i.e. Holy Spirit whisper in our hearts, we often tend to ignore it. One of the basic reasons as per my limited understanding is considering our creator, Lord Yeshua the Messiah as a limited God, instead of unlimited God. We pray and pray; waiting for a reply, but when Lord grants us our prayer request. We are unable to recognize the sweet and the gentle voice of Holy Spirit. Then after the completion of the event, we realize that Holy Spirit had already informed us earlier, but we ignored it due to our restlessness. One of the prominent reasons of restlessness is the absence of peace in our lives. Peace is found when we enter into prayer requesting with thanks giving to the Prince of Peace i.e. Lord Yeshua the Messiah. The prayer life is ignited when we are stuck in a situation with no way out, and cry out to Lord Yeshua the Messiah, our solutions comes only when we climb the hill taking fire and knife with us like Abraham, ready to sacrifice Isaac (the Most precious possession). The fire represents walking in the presence of Holy Spirit and moving out from the worldly carnal matters, focusing on the author of our faith i.e. Lord Yeshua the Messiah and knife represent means ready to kill any need, want or desire which tries to take significance in our lives more than Lord Yeshua the Messiah. The higher we climb, better we understand to focus on Lord Yeshua the Messiah, our provider for all our needs. We can now understand the significance of what is written by Apostle Paul to people of Corinthians as mentioned “But thanks be to God, who in Messiah always leads us in triumphal procession, and through us reveals everywhere the aroma of the knowledge of Himself. For we are the aroma of Messiah to God, among those who are being saved and those who are perishing— to the one an aroma from death to death, to the other an aroma from life to life. Who is competent for these things? For we are not like many, peddling the word of God. Rather, in Messiah we speak in the sight of God with sincerity, as persons sent from God.(2Co 2:14-17)” As further mentioned by Apostle Peter we have to confirm our calling and election to the Lord Yeshua the Messiah; His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and virtue. Through these things He has given us His precious and magnificent promises, so that through them you may become partakers of the divine nature, since you have escaped the corruption that evil desires have brought into the world. Now for this very reason, making every effort, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, patience; and to patience, godliness; and to godliness, brotherly love; and to brotherly love, love. (2Pe 1:3-7) Yeshua the messiah is coming!
