Which Way Do I Go?

Two Realms
Most of us are aware that there are universal laws that govern the natural world we live in. Some of these laws (i,e. gravity) impact you every moment of every day whether or not you “believe” in them.

But did you know that, in a similar way, you are also governed by certain spiritual laws that impact your life? And again, they TOO govern your life whether or not you are aware of them and whether or not you “believe” in them. 

Some spiritual laws impact your relationship to the natural world while others are foundational to your general well-being and your relationship with your Creator. 

While there is nothing wrong with these things conceptually; religion, acadamia, science, entertainment, media, politics / government, and cultural issues: These and numerous other influences in our “modern” world often work to create barriers for us between the natural realm and the Godly, spiritual realm. But for thousands of years, the self-evident reality that there IS no separation between these two realms was common knowledge.

There is an Eternal Spirit who is Supreme over the natural realm AND the spirit realm. No one and no thing is above Him. He has always been. He is the Creator of all things and He binds all things together in every realm.

Following are some spiritual laws that you should know that can:

1) Help you live at peace with yourself and others     
2) Help you to unite with your Creator
3) Help you to experience forgiveness
4) Help you experience healing
5) Help you to live a fulfilled life
6) Much more

Law 1

The Creator LOVES you and He wants you to live a fulfilled LIFE in union with Him.

“How priceless is your unfailing love, O God! People
take refuge in the shadow of your wings.”
King David

Love
Ancient manuscripts reveal that the Creator of all things is loving by nature. They even reveal that “He IS love“. In other words, Love isn’t just what the Eternal Spirit DOES; it’s who He IS! 

The steadfast love of our Eternal Creator never ceases.
Prophet Jeremiah

Accordingly, extending love to His creation is simply an expression of your Creator’s Divine nature. Isn’t it “natural” for YOU to extend love to that which YOU create? Well, that’s the way that He is too.

What about when someone you love makes a mistake? Do you still love them? Of course you do. Again, your Creator is the same way. Even now He is waiting to extend His love, mercy, and forgiveness to you.

In America, there are many things that can make it difficult to see the love of of the Creator, let alone experience it: Life experiences, institutional religion, academic emphasis, increasing oppression, and materialism are just a few of those hurdles. 

Can a person who is physically blind see the sky? Sadly, No: But that doesn’t negate the reality of it’s existence. It is the same way with your Creator’s love. Just because you haven’t been able to see, feel, or comprehend it doesn’t mean it’s not there.

Life
Do you know Yeshua? You might recognize His English name; Jesus. He was a Hebrew: Yeshua is His Hebrew name and so that is How He is referred to here. Ancient manuscripts and historical records reveal that He was a Wise Teacher who walked the earth approximately 2,000 years ago. He profoundly shared the love and life of our Creator with all who would listen. There is more about Him below in Law 4.

Yeshua (Jesus) said “I came that they (all who follow Him) might have life,
and might have it abundantly”. 

In this context, the word “life” means far more than just mere “existence by breathing” or “material wealth”. The fuller meaning of this word (life), in this context, speaks of an “abundant“, fulfilled life of love, inner peace, harmony, and forgiveness. 

You might be thinking “OK… But if that is so, then why do so many bad things happen?
Why is it that more people are not experiencing this incredible, “abundant life” that is readily available to them? Why do so many bad things happen? Why is there so much anger, so much adversity, sickness and disease?

There are really only a four basic reasons for life’s challenges and disappointments. I have listed them here:

The first, primary reason for disharmony in our lives is we are out of alignment with our Creator. The Creator created His creation to live in harmony within His design both spiritually and naturally. The farther we stray from His perfect design the more disharmony and problems we encounter. Remedy: Learn how to align with the Creator and His ways.

The second, more common reason that we often encounter persistent, unusual challenges in our life is closely related to the first. It is this: There are simply ramifications of our own choices and decisions (both “good” and “bad”). Remedy: Begin making tangible changes in your life to come into alignment with your Creator. Take one step and then another. It is a lifetime process.

The third, very real reason that we experience persistent personal and family problems is that there is a very real, spiritual adversary (the satan) who has a multitude of helpers that are both in the spirit realm AND the physical realm. Together they roam the earth for the purpose of inflicting as much pain, destruction, sickness, and death on as much of God’s creation as they can. This includes ALL of the Creator’s creation; including you and your family both in the present and in generations past. Remedy: Learn the basic tactics of the devil and his demons but focus on releasing the light and life of God that is within you.

Finally, the fourth reason is fate. In other words, the rain falls on the just and the unjust; and sometimes we never really know why. The Creator doesn’t promise that He can keep EVERY offense from us. But he DOES promise to journey through life with us if we allow Him to do so. Remedy: Learn to flow like water, living in the peace of God and the confidence that you are united with the Creator.

Coming into union with the love and life of your Creator helps to bring clarity to all of these things. It also helps to overcome the destructive aspects that are attempting to derail us and, when possible, it helps us to right the wrongs in our lives.

There is a lot here. But be encouraged! The Eternal, Divine Spirit WILL help you if you genuinely take steps toward him: And we will too.

Law 2

Yeshua (Jesus) came to show us the way to truth, love, healing, how to live life, and to show us that it is all available to US here and now. (This is part of the “love” and “life” that was mentioned in Law #1).

While the devil carries out death and destruction, Yeshua / Jesus HEALS and RESTORES. Along with the many other things that He accomplished through the Eternal Spirit, Yeshua restored lives and healed every kind of sickness, disease, brokenness, and malady. 

Yeshua said: “The Eternal Spirit is upon me. He has anointed Me
to preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal
the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives,
and the recovery of sight to the blind, to
set at liberty them that are bruised,” 

As Yeshua showed us, your Creator is still healing broken hearts, minds, bodies, and lives including generational curses, demonic attacks, mental illness, emotional issues, physical challenges, relationships, sickness, and disease. Nothing is beyond His healing touch and you don’t HAVE to wait until you die to receive it. By His love, His healing power can help you in healing and wholeness of spirit, soul, and body.

Yeshua went about… teaching and preaching
the Good News of the [Eternal] Kingdom, healing all manner of sickness,
and all manner of disease among the people.
Matthew

Law 3

Unhealthy, and unprofitable thoughts and actions have separated you from your Creator.

Mankind was originally created with the innate desire to live in union with His Creator.

But over time that desire has been dampened by distractions and evil influences. Ancient manuscripts reveal that the Creator has identified certain Unhealthy, and unprofitable, thoughts, words, and actions as “sin”.

Generally speaking, individual sin can take various forms. But two basic categories are active rebellion and passive indifference. A few examples of these unhealthy practices (in no particular order) include being self centered, pursuing material wealth for wrong reasons, addictions, unforgiveness, “religious” religion, sex outside of marriage, disregard for creation (the planet, animals, others), irresponsibility, et cetera.

“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God”.
Apostle Paul 

Along with dealing with our own shortcomings and mistakes; as the result of living in a world laden with sin, it is becoming more and more common to find ourselves as the victim of someone else’s sin. When this occurs, a variety of very challenging physical, mental, and spiritual wounds can be created. Although it can be very challenging, what a blessing it is to know that Yeshua can heal in spirit, soul (mind), and body (Law 2) when we come to Him in the right way.

Regardless of the source, sin separates us from “God” and the fullness of life that is available to us . It adds to life’s challenges and makes it even more difficult. Sin can lead to a multitude of problems including spiritual and physical sickness and death.

But thankfully, your Creator has made a way for you to live in harmony with creation (as much as possible), to be (re)united with Him beginning right now, and to experience peace in a way that you may have never even imagined.

The fourth law explains how you can restore unity with your Creator that mankind once had so long ago. But it is something that you (everyone) must embrace individually: No one can do it for you.

Law 4

By uniting with Yeshua, you can know and experience your Creator’s love, life, healing, and plan for your life.

“For the Eternal, Supreme Being so loved the world,
that He gave His only begotten Son (Yeshua),
that whoever believes in Him should not perish,
but have eternal life.”
Apostle John

The American culture is generally disrespectful regardless of who someone is, what they have accomplished, their rank, position or anything else. Consequently, titles and other marks of respect have been largely discounted. For these reasons, up to this point, Yeshua has been referred to here simply by His name.

However, not long ago, even here in America, generally speaking people were both respectable and respected. In other cultures today, and certainly in Yeshua’s culture, He would have been addressed with respect by utilizing the title “Master” (or something similar): So that is how He will be addressed here from this point forward. 

History reveals that Master Yeshua (Jesus) walked the earth over 2,000 years ago. Along with being recognized as a wise “Master”, Yeshua is the Son of the Eternal God: The God of the Bible.  Even though many rejected the life, love, light, and peace that He offered, He profoundly impacted our world and He is still doing so even today.  

For example, the first year of our calendar is based upon the year of His birth. That is why the proper way to write the year is 20XX AD. “AD” indicates how many years it has been since His birth. Numerous ancient manuscripts predicted His appearance and numerous others recorded what He did. Volumes have been written about His life, death, resurrection, and ascension into the Heavenlies. Ancient writings even tell us that the earth couldn’t contain all of the books that would be required to record all that He accomplished.  But for various reasons many have distorted Him, what He said, and what He did. But His core message was love, peace, and union between Heaven, earth, and His people. 

But along with those things, history reveals that the Master Yeshua allowed Himself to be betrayed which led to His death. All of it was foretold by the Prophets and He knew it all. His body was then placed in a sealed, guarded tomb. But He defeated death; just as that too had been prophesied about Him. Three days after being crucified He arose from the dead. His burial tomb (a small cave) was found empty even though a Roman soldier was guarding the entrance as if his life depended upon it (because it probably did). 

While Master Yeshua was followed by multitudes, there were twelve men who followed Him very closely. After His resurrection He first appeared to one of them, “Peter, and then to all twelve of them.  After that He appeared to more than five hundred others”. But even now He is still alive and making His presence known.

But there is even more to the story. Master Yeshua was resurrected from death to life in order to show that you don’t have to be held captive by the sin, death and destruction that keeps you separated from your Creator. YOU can be “born again” into a better, new, spiritual life that will change everything for you. 

Even now, Master Yeshua is ready, willing, and eager to unite with anyone and everyone who will unite with Him. (Bible: John 3:1-22).

“For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, that anyone should boast”. 
Apostle Paul

So the first step toward experiencing your Creator’s love, forgiveness, and His plan for your life is to come into union with Master Yeshua and embrace Him for who He is: the prophesied and verified Messiah, Redeemer, Savior, and the Master of God’s people. 

“But to as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name”. 
Apostle John

Everyone makes mistakes. Everyone faces challenges, and the rain falls on the just and the unjust. But regardless of your past, your current situation, or what you think your future may be, Master Yeshua wants to equip you for the rain and stand with you against evil. He wants to help you make the right decisions and journey through life with you in the best of times and the worst of times whether or not “it is your fault”.

You don’t HAVE to remain condemned, defenseless or alone. You can trust that, if you enter into a genuine relationship with Master Yeshua, you will experience His love, forgiveness, and life.

HE WILL NEVER ABANDON A HEART THAT IS TURNED TOWARD HIM; EVEN WHEN YOU MAKE MISTAKES.

So regardless of your circumstances, no matter where you have been or what you have done, or what has been done to you: If you renounce your sins and unite with Master Yeshua, He is faithful and just to forgive, and to cleanse you from all unrighteousness. He already knows everything about you. He loves you anyway and always will. He is inviting YOU to enter into a genuine relationship with Him and asking you to allow Him to help you. 

Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear My voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will dine with him, and he with Me. 

Revelation 3:20 

But it isn’t enough just to know these four spiritual laws…

Conclusion

In order to receive the blessings mentioned above, it isn’t enough to just “know” or “believe” these things:  Nor is it enough to have an isolated emotional experience. We’re not just talking about what you “think” or “believe”. Rather we are talking about a new way of living, an interactive relationship with the Divine: A committed, yet fulfilled and blessed life.

Master “Yeshua said… ‘I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Heavenly Father, but through Me’”. 

You don’t have to have all of the answers right now. All you need to do is take a step. He will meet you where you are at.

Remember: “Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear My voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will dine with him, and he with Me.” 

But as you continue on, entering into an agreement with Master Yeshua will include:

• Accepting His love for you
• Sincerely asking Him to forgive your sins
• Turning away from your own desires (repentance),
• Releasing all of your life to His Higher ways
• Begin learning what it means to enjoy a love relationship and complete union with Him
• Allowing and trusting Him to make you into what you were created to be 
• Joining in relationship with and fellowship with others who are like-minded.

You can have a new, better life and it can start right now. You can know and experience God’s love, healing, and plan for your life both now and into eternity. As you begin to embrace more and more of these realities, the more and more you will see them manifest in your life.

In time, here is what you can expect if you align with the God of the Bible and His Son Yeshua: (copied from above).
1) Living at peace with yourself and others     
2) Unity with your Creator
3) Forgiveness
4) Healing
5) Fulfilled life

Yeshua can lead you to the life, light, love, and peace of the Eternal Spirit that will change your life. He doesn’t promise that it will be easy. But He DOES promise that He will help, lead and guide you.

He is saying to you now, “Behold, I am standing at the door of your heart and knocking. If you hear My voice and open the door, I will come in to live with you…” 

Your Creator is extending a personal invitation to you through His Son, Yeshua. He can heal the pain, forgive you for all of the bad things that you have done, give you a new, genuine life, and continue on with you into the future. 

Leave your old life behind and start over with a clean slate. 

As an act of your will, by faith, embrace the reality of Yeshua. Agree to enter into an eternal relationship with Him and experience the love, forgiveness, healing, joy, stability, peace, and reality of your Creator that only He can give you. He will never leave you nor forsake you.

Seek first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness;
and all these things shall be added unto you.
Master Yeshua

Additional Information

Entering into a relationship with God is very much like entering into a marriage covenant; in fact that is one way the Bible describes it. It is a relationship that, with proper commitment and attention, will only get better and better as the years progress.

Here are some points to consider in regards to what it means to enter into a covenant with God.

1. God loves you so much that He sacrificed His only Son for you so that you could live an abundant life (John 3:16).
2. God became flesh in the person of Yeshua(Jesus) the Messiah (John 1:14), and willingly died as a sacrifice, accepting upon Himself the penalty for your sins (1John 3:4) .  What are  The   Ten Commandments),
3. Are you willing to “repent” of your offenses against God?  (1 John 3:4)  (repent means both to ask for forgiveness for your offenses and to change your thinking so that you are no longer in conflict with God) (Acts 2:38)?
4. Do you accept that Yeshua / Jesus suffered and died on the cross, as a sacrifice for your sins, and that He rose again on the third day to defeat death and the devil for you, so that you could have abundant life? (John 10:10, 1 Cor. 15:3-4)?
5. Are you committed to entering into, and remaining in, a covenant relationship with Yeshua (Rom 10:9)? 
6. To be sure, the steps above do not complete the process: Rather they are only the beginning.

(Therefore), brethren, give diligence to make your calling and
election sure: for if ye do these things, you shall never fall
2 Peter 1:10

A New Life
As you begin your new life there will be many questions; it truly is an exciting adventure. You have just begun a whole new way of life and you will soon find that the more you pattern your life in the way that Yahweh God wants for you, the more you will be blessed and the more satisfying your life will become. He has your best interest at heart and He knows what is best for you. The more you allow Him to work in your life the more at rest you will be. The more satisfying your life becomes the more you will want to serve Him. And the more you serve Him the more satisfying your life will become. And the more you…..

As you proably know, ignorance is not always bliss:  In fact, it usually isn’t.  What you don’t know will hurt you.  Apply the following principles to your life to give yourself a jump-start to spiritual authority as you begin your journey.

As time allows, you can study the following principles further.  Choose one and ask God to lead you to revelation on the subject. Follow these basic principles and you will be on the road to a brand new life that will be more satisfying, more rewarding, more content and, at times, more adventuresome than ever before.

Feel free to contact us if you would like more information on any of these subjects.

Prayer
God always answers prayer. But just as children don’t always receive the answers they expect or want from their parents, we don’t always receive the answers from God that we want or expect either. But He will answer and He will always deliver, one way or another. Ask in faith and know that as you put His priorities first in your life; He will always be there for you too.

Water Baptism
The Bible says , “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Yeshua the Messiah for the remission of sins. . .” (Acts 2:38). Baptism is an outward expression of the commitment you have already made in your heart.

Fellowship
Now that you have entered into your new life, you will find it very helpful to associate with others who are like-minded. In fact, generally speaking, there really is no way to be a “lone ranger” Christian and while remaining within the will of God. This is where a Fellowship Community will be invaluable to you. They share your desire to love God, while fulfilling His call on your life while living in a way that is pleasing to Him.

Tithing
What a sad subject. I don’t know of any other that is so terribly abused. Still, some say there are more verses in the Bible devoted to finances than any other single subject. Whether that is accurate or not one thing is for sure; where your treasure is, that your heart is also. God knows this and it is His desire that we not be bound to anything of this world; including money. Seek God on the matter and follow your heart on this spiritual principle.

Spiritual Warfare
There is a war raging of which it seems only a few are aware. It appears to some as good vs. evil, and it is, but more specifically it is between Yahweh, the God of Righteousness and satan, the god of evil. satan creates pain, disease and turmoil in our lives often without us even knowing it. Until now, you have not been serving Yahweh God wholeheartedly. But now that has changed. You have given your heart to the King of Kings and what a wonderful experience that is as you are cradled in His loving arms. But the devil doesn’t want to loose you. He doesn’t want you to be blessed and enjoy life. He may fight to keep you so be aware. But praise God, Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world!  Click here for more articles about spiritual warfare.

Evangelism & Discipleship
In the Bible, the book of Acts chapter 17 verse 6, we have a record of the Apostle Paul and other followers of Yeshua who had come to town spreading the good news of the Messiah. The religious leaders of the day were threatened and replied “These who have turned the world upside down have come here too”.

As we share our faith with others we solidify the reality of God’s blessings in our own lives. There are so many who are lost and hurting; the privilige of sharing true life with them is blessing.  Click here for more about discipleship.

Giving Thanks and Faith
For the believer, every day should be Thanksgiving Day. Knowing that our testing and trials serve to build our endurance and that God is helping us to be all that we can be. In this way, we can even be thankful in the midst of challenges. Don’t loose heart! By His Spirit and all the many ways that Yahweh God helps us, He will see you through. Read on and you will see how giving thanks unto God, and having faith in Him, are intricately connected.
