What Is Really Important?
February 14, 2009There are times when I feel overwhelmed and I just don’t know how I am going to do this life. That is when I most need to remember that Yahweh has promised that I already have everything I need for this life…and for godliness. So, it becomes my prayer for the Holy Spirit…the Ruach HaKodesh…to give me wisdom…to show me how to do what it is I need to do…and how to do it.
I also need Him to show me what is really mine to do and what is not. I believe that I sometimes take on what other people think I should be able to do…or that I have erroneous ideas of what I should do. I do not need to be adding…or allowing others to add…to what Yahweh expects of me.
My relationship with my Creator is the absolutely most important thing in my life. It is more important than any earthly relationship I have, although all of my earthly relationships are effected by it. Yet…I find it so easy to neglect this most important aspect of my life. Why?
I suspect that it has something to do with the fact that the spiritual realm is so “hidden” from our earthly eyes. We tend to focus on what we can see, touch, taste, feel. We think this physical realm is the “real” thing, while the spiritual is something less real…like a shadow. The truth is…the spiritual is the most real… and the physical is the shadow.
There is a battle raging in unseen realms that we just go on living life in ignorance of. After all, if we can’t see it, it can’t be real, right? Yet, no one questions the reality of love…which you cannot see. Or air…which you also cannot see. The spiritual realm does touch our physical world. There are angels and demons all around us. There is a Creator who is Spirit…who is everywhere at once and not limited by time or space.
We have the possibility of living with Him, surrounded by and filled with His incredible love for eternity. We have the possibility. Not all will make it. Some will spend eternity separated from the only source of true and real love…forever. That saddens me. I know that He has written His law upon the hearts of His people. He has given evidence of His existence throughout all of nature. He longs for us to seek Him and to accept Him and His Son Yeshua. But many won’t, which is very sad. They will chose to reject Him.
Or worse, they will think they are OK with Him but they are living their lives their own way instead of His ways. They are seeking to do things…not to be His sons and daughters. They are seeking themselves and will tell YeshuaJesus in the end that they did all kinds of things in His name…seemingly good things like healing the sick. What will His response be? “I never knew you.”
We cannot make up our own spirituality…or our own religion…depending on which slant you take. Truth is truth. It is not relative…it is solid. We cannot just go through life picking and choosing what we will believe and then expect Him to just accept us in the end. It doen’t work like that. We need to seek Him out…diligently. We need to read and study His written word…the bible. We need to walk and live in His living Word…Yeshua/Jesus. If we do not…we are risking the most important thing we can have…an eternity with our Creator.
I challenge anyone reading this to seek Him out. Ask Him to show Himself to you as being real…and then sit back with open eyes and heart. He will show Himself to you…if you are seriously asking Him. I don’t mean some half cocked, half serious request on your part. I mean to get real! It is worth it. After all, where you spend eternity is at stake. Eternity without Him is your choice…as is eternity with Him. One is just plain awful…the other is incredibly wonderful beyond anything we can imagine.
So, what will you choose? Will you gamble with your soul on your “beliefs”…or will you seek to know the absolute truth…truth you can count on? I know my choice. As for me, I will serve Yahweh, the living God…and Him alone…Abba/Father…Yeshua/Jesus/Son…Ruach HaKodesh/Holy Spirit.

A Survivor's Thoughts on Life 
Yes, “We need to walk and live in His Living Word”…….
Not the deadness of the letter, liken unto the pharisee’s both old and new, but The LIVING Word, for Our Father HE yet communes with HIS Children.
Yet to receive of The Living Word The “I” must die…….
In as much as i can ‘see’,
That which is of the ‘I’ in me,
So it is i yearn, and to Our Father cry,
For deliverance from all that is of the ‘I’.
The ‘I’, born of “imag”ination and selfish desire,
As lust, greed, and pride, stoked a consuming fire ;-(
A fire burning out of control, as ‘I’ leads the way,
It’s smoke concealing the fleshly mind that leads one astray ;-(
Yet even in the smoke, searing heat, and blindness of ‘sight’,
Truth can pierce the blackness of darkness, revealing “The Light”!
And nothing can hide from “The Light”, so “Light” reveals the “I”,
Allowing one to “see” clearly, and clearly the “I” must die!
But to live, yet die, seems an impossible task,
And so we need of “Our Father”, the impossible to ask.
Help me to “deny myself(die to self)(die to ‘I’)” Father!
And as HE Helps, HE reveals more and more of “The Selfless One”, The One Who leads His Brethren on “The Way to The Truth of The Life”. He Who was, and is The Messiah, The Son of The Only True GOD, Father(Creator) of ALL!
And as The Messiah desired above all else, so also will His Brethren desire above all else, “Father, not my will, But THY Will Be Done”…….
The poem i have recorded above was begun in Creel, Chih, Mexico in ’92, a time when i sought to live and experience a simple and spiritual life. Left Mexico in ’93, yet returned in ’04. Then on 1/26/05 the poem was completed, and ‘completion’ is near for each and every one of us. And for “the poor and needy”, thankfully so…….
Translated, “corruptible to incorruptible” indeed and Truth…….
Home, Home at last.
Forever free from The “I”!
All Thanks, Praise and Glory Be Unto “Our Father”…….
And while there is breath(spirit) there is hope many will “see”,
“see” The “I” for what it is, and then desire to be set free!
And that Spirit that was in The Messiah shall “set you free, free indeed”!
So, There Is Hope!
For Miracles do happen!
Hope is there would be those who experience The Miracle that is receiving “a love of The Truth” for they will “see” The Light that is The Messiah, they will “see” that The Life is of The Spirit(not seen with the natural eye), and most certainly not of the flesh or fleshly mind(“I”)…….
Peace, in spite of the dis-ease(darkness) that is of this world, for “the WHOLE world is under the control of the evil one”(1Jn5:19) indeed and Truth…….
Truth is never ending…….
(Returned to this place called the u.s. of a. in June of ’05, yet to return to the simplicity that is rural Mexico would be welcomed, yet i realize that in all things it must be “Father(Great Spirit, GOD, Creator,,), not my will, But THY Will Be Done!)
Thank you for your comment, Francisco, and for sharing your poem.
Yes, miracle DO happen. I have seen them.
Keep seeking Yahweh. He is the Three in One: Abba/Father, Yeshua/Jesus, Messiah/Son, Ruach HaKodesh/Holy Spirit/Comforter.
Blessings to you.
