Hallelujah! The Heart of God: Part One :: By Camilla Smith

Published on: by RR7

 

We know that we are living in the last moments before the return of our Messiah. There is no doubt about it—we feel it in our spirit, and we know it in our hearts. We know because we have the Father’s Word that tells us how all this will play out.

His Word defines so many specific things—things that we are seeing right before our eyes—pestilence, moral depravity, violence, war, political chaos, etc. But there are also many things that He tells us will happen that are happening in ways that may not be so glaringly evident. There are prophecies that are more subtle or that don’t get nearly as much attention. There are promises HE has made to His children—His people—that sometimes go unnoticed because they are not quite as obvious and certainly don’t make headlines on the daily news. But they are happening, and they are undoubtedly some of the most telling signs to show us how powerfully the Father’s Word is being fulfilled in these final hours!

Why is this important? Because when the Word of YHWH says something—we can KNOW it is important to Him!

He tells us over and over just exactly what IS important to Him—and these are things that maybe we don’t even think about! Do we ever stop to ask, “Father, please let me know what is important to YOU? What brings You esteem? What exalts You?” Maybe He is waiting to hear from His children—maybe this should be our daily prayer: “Father, please show Your children what You are doing and what WE can do to hasten the Day of Your Coming!”

There are hundreds of scriptures that give us a hint at some of the things that the Father will bring about in the end of times. There are GREAT Restorations that He will do—not only just a Renewed Heaven and Earth but a Renewed Language, Renewed Ways, Renewed/New Names. How exciting!! In this short article, we are going to just look at a couple of them, but there are many.

First, we need to realize that the Father’s Ways are not OUR ways, and we need to understand that we don’t always think like He thinks. And no matter how much we may have the mind of Messiah—we can’t possibly fathom, comprehend, or understand how all of this is going to unfold. He even TELLS us that we can’t possibly fully understand His Plan for the fulfillment of His Prophecies. He tells us that mankind WILL make up its own rules for the end times! By the way, I will use Scripture verses from a restored-names version of the Father’s Word, so you will see the Name of God (YHWH) as it would have originally appeared.

This verse plainly states that men will come up with their own ideas about things that pertain to the Father’s Word: “But the message of YHWH you no longer remember! For every man’s message is his own word, for you have changed the Words of the Living Elohim (God), YHWH of hosts, our Elohim!” (Jeremiah 23:36).

Changed the words?? Wow! What does this mean? And let’s take a little look at what IS important to the Father.

We know that He is restoring all things—so let’s see what He tells us He is going to restore.

Let’s take a look at Jeremiah 6:16 to see what the Father has to say about His Restoration: “Thus said YHWH, ‘Stand in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths, where the good way is, and walk in it; and find rest for yourselves. But they said, ‘We do not walk.'”

This is a VERY interesting passage! The Father is making it clear that HE wants us to return to the old paths—the ancient paths—the ways that HE showed us. But the second part makes it clear that we just don’t do that—our sinful nature causes us to NOT walk in His Ways! We go our own way, and not always HIS Way. Of course, this encompasses many things, but this is definitely something that is important to our Father—that we at least recognize and seek out His Ancient Paths—asking HIM what is important to Him. This could include learning more about His Set-Apart days—His Feasts. This could include taking to heart His Commands and how they apply to our daily lives and our walk.

His Word makes it clear that He desires our heart and our obedience. “But this Word I commanded them, saying ‘Obey My Voice, and I shall be your Elohim (God), and you shall be My people. And walk in all the Ways that I have commanded you, so that it be well with you” (Jeremiah 7:23).

How can we define “Ancient Paths”? What is the Father referring to here? Is it possible He wants us to get a head start and a basic understanding of how things will be in His Kingdom? Because, truth be told, we have deviated in many ways from the Ancient Paths. What are some specific things He is referring to? One specific thing is this—His Word tells us that He will return us to His Original Language… His Pure Language where there was no distortion—the Language that people spoke before the confusion and darkness that came out of rebellion at the Tower of Babel. He clearly knows that a restoration to one Language will bring His children together, as He reveals through the prophet Zephaniah/TsephanYah here:

“For then I shall turn unto the peoples a clean lip, so that they all call on the Name of YHWH to serve Him with one shoulder” (Zephaniah 3:9).

This is just one part of the Father’s Last-Days Restoration that we will look a little further into going forward. How fascinating that we will be returned to a “clean lip”! Can we even comprehend a Pure Speech—a Set-Apart Language so that we can all be united in serving Him as HE wants to be served? How exciting!

Obviously, this just scratches the surface. There is so much here for discussion and pondering. Abba willing, this will be an ongoing series of short articles that will draw us to seek the Heart of God and what IS important to Him in these last moments. What does His Word tell us? What does He want us to be doing? How can we serve Him in these final hours and bring esteem and honor to Him and His Kingdom? His Word tells us that He is looking for hearts that are perfect for Him (2 Chronicles 16:9). Let’s pray about it and ask Him to reveal to us just what that means. (We will delve a little further into this in Part 2.) Let’s turn to Him and ask Him directly, “Father, how can we best exalt You in the darkness of these last days? How can our hearts be PERFECT toward you?”

In the following articles, we will look a little deeper into getting to the Heart of the Father—what it is that pleases Him, including, first and foremost, our desire to be IN HIS PRESENCE. Also, He looks for our desire to share His Truth and the Truth of our Beloved Messiah, Yahshua/Jesus. He also looks for our desire to be obedient to His Loving Instructions that He has set forth in His Word. (His entire Word can be referred to as “His Loving Instructions to His Children,” as He GAVE us His Word for our own good—for our protection—because HE loves us so much!)

There is SO MUCH HERE! It would take us all eternity to begin to unravel His Magnificent Truth in His Word—but as we are so rapidly approaching the end of this age, let’s join together and set our hearts on things above—seeking and asking reverently and with awe, “Beloved Abba Father, how can we please YOU in these final moments? Help us to understand what brings You honor and exaltation as we approach the time that we will finally be in Your Presence!” We know one thing for sure—THIS prayer HE will answer if we seek Him with all our hearts. We know that when WE seek HIM, He can always be found. In the end, it is all about HIS Esteem!

“But in their distress they turned to YHWH Elohim (God) of Yisra’el, and they sought Him, and He was found by them” (2 Chronicles 15:4).

The Disease Spreads :: By Terry James

Published on: by RR7

 

According to a report, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) put out the warning December 16. As many as 60,000 victims of the pandemic per month could die in the U.S. Apparently the dire prediction is supposed to have its genesis beginning this December.

I have no idea of the reliability of the information, but according to extensive reporting from Europe, a rapidly spreading disease related to COVID has governments in a panic. The United Kingdom, in particular, is in chaos over what to do about the new variant.

Omicron, according to Dr. Anthony Fauci and others, is raging across the globe and is swiftly making its way to America. Whether the health forecasters link this particular disease to the predicted 60,000 deaths per month, I guess it’s too early to know. They just make the prediction without detail at this point. But, to my sense of the story’s trending, they want us to think this new strain will somehow combine with delta and other new strains to kill Americans in ever-increasing numbers.

South Africa reported recently that the fast-growing outbreak of the omicron coronavirus variant, first identified in the country, has so far proved much milder than those before it. So how they can say it will kill so many is a legitimate question. Of course, to my observation, there have been many legitimate questions offered that haven’t been answered by the medical elite who put out the warnings and statistics.

For example, why do they insist on mask-wearing when it has been proven in numerous studies that the masks fail miserably to stop the spread? Yet the masking of small children in particular has been proven harmful in a number of ways to the little ones’ health. Another question: Why is it now being shown, beyond any doubt, that those vaccinated are more prone to be infected than those not vaccinated?

The omicron virus is creating havoc in many European states. Yet despite the panic–as I understand at present—not a single death has been attributed officially to this disease. Some experts I’ve read or heard say omicron reacts more like the common flu, and most recover quickly after having relatively noncrucial symptoms affecting breathing, etc.

Yet the panic has set in, and the lockdowns have begun. Boris Johnson, prime minister of Britain, has locked the country down, and it has cost a political upheaval that hasn’t been seen in the UK for 200 years, I’m told.

Raheme Kassam, a spokesman that appears on Stephen K. Bannon’s War Room, said that because of the lockdown, Johnson’s Tory party–hardcore conservative—was defeated December 16 in a special election. The party has remained undefeated, Kassam said, through world wars, depressions, and industrial revolution for 200 years. Now the people–made up primarily of factory and blue-collar workers—have rejected that party’s embrace of global manipulation.

And the UK is just the tip of the rebellion that has much of Europe in chaos, politically speaking.

While Boris Johnson says he doesn’t intend to lock down anything, he locks everything down with the suggestion that if people will just take the vaccines and boosters without pushing back, they can go back to the pubs and do all other of the activities that make for normal life.

The common man is apparently fed up, and the seas and waves of humanity are beginning to roar, yet the governmental controllers continue to wield draconian power that is driving the chaos, as the following article excerpt reports.

Globally, more than 75 countries have reported confirmed cases of the new variant. In Britain, where omicron cases are doubling every two to three days, omicron was expected to soon replace delta as the dominant strain in the country. The government has accelerated its booster program in response. Authorities in the 27-nation European Union say omicron will be the dominant variant in the bloc by mid-January…

People in the Netherlands, meanwhile, have been in a partial lockdown since November to curb a delta-driven surge. While infection numbers are now declining, the government this week ordered elementary schools to close for Christmas a week early amid fears of a new rise. Authorities also sped up a booster campaign as caretaker Prime Minister Mark Rutte cited Britain as an example of how swiftly the variant can spread…

“Let’s try to maintain the European solution,” Belgian Prime Minister Alexander De Croo said. “If every country goes it alone again, we’ll be even further from home.”

But ahead of the meeting, European nations were already acting to rein in the spread. Greece and Italy tightened entry requirements for travelers earlier this week, and Portugal decided to keep stricter border controls in place beyond their planned January 9 end.

France said Thursday that it will slap restrictions on travelers arriving from the UK — which is no longer part of the EU — putting limits on reasons for traveling and requiring 48 hours of isolation upon arrival. The new measures will take effect early Saturday.

French Prime Minister Jean Castex said the measures were being imposed “in the face of the extremely rapid spread of the omicron variant in the UK” (“Soaring infections in Britain driven in part by the omicron variant of the coronavirus rattled Europe on Thursday, prompting new restrictions on the Continent and fueling a familiar dread on both sides of the Atlantic about entering a new phase of the pandemic just in time for the holidays.” London AP, December 17, 2021)

The title for this article has a much more sinister meaning than merely biological. Preparation for the coming Antichrist regime is an infinitely more virulent disease of spiritual nature. Its chief damage to all upon the planet is the fear and chaos it wreaks. Its ultimate result will bring about soul-destroying enslavement by a pseudo savior who will foist upon the world greater deception than even that which the current world health tyrants have brought humanity to at this late hour in history.

But there is about to appear a True Savior. His name is above every other. Jesus Christ will, with a shout and trumpet sound, call all believers to Himself. It will be an instantaneous cure for all disease and sin that ravage this fallen planet.

If you want to be part of that call, here again is how to receive God’s saving grace.

“That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation” (Romans 10:9–10).
