It is Finished!

The nation just celebrated a holiday that in it's original intent, could completely transform the hearts and minds of multitudes. This holiday is known as Easter to the majority and Resurrection Sunday to a few. We believe that there are a few that keep the true meaning of Resurrection Sunday, but imagine if we as the body of Yeshua would magnify the power in His resurrection, how much more would we see the fulness of His Spirit released in our lives and in the lives of those who are compelled during this season to a state of repentance? We challenge you to research the origin of the pagan tradition of Easter. Too much to include in this blog, but it just makes you wonder why we as a set apart body could adopt such values. The Christmas traditions are included in this as well. What is it that God really requires from us? For us to behold His face through the sacrifice of His begotten Son and through the reception of this love, be drawn to be the true enlisted soldier and no longer be entangled with the affairs of this world. All of the enmity (carnality) that tries to keep us from truly glorifying Him has been dealt with on the cross of Yeshua and was confirmed when He said that "It is finished." We have to come to place in our hearts and minds where living for the natural rewards and pleasures are no longer appealing to us and long for the inheritances of what transpired on the cross.

Kidney Stone...

I finally know what Paul's thorn in the flesh was... it was a kidney stone, just joking but I'm pretty sure if anyone had to guess I bet they would say that he was referring to a stone in the kidney. I recently experienced this elephant stopping pain over the past two months and trust me when I say "you wouldn't wish this upon your worst enemy(s)" but then again my only enemy(the defeated foe) could use some pain every now and again. When I heard women say that they would much rather give birth to a child than to pass a kidney stone, relief flooded my body because I thought that I was being a weeny due to the fact that I moaned and groaned. Though I didn't cry, don't think the thought didn't cross my thinker. So I toughed it out like a big boy should for about 3 hours but lets just say I wasn't use to this kind of pain and was later admitted to the emergency room. After x-rays and exams the doctors found that I was carrying a little boulder in my kidney. Now lets transition into the meat and potatoes for a bit. One might ask well Kevin how could this happen to a Man of God or shouldn't God have stopped the pain after you prayed for the pain to stop. These are the questions that plague our church even to this day only because we don't have an answer for every question or every situation. Much like Job I couldn't understand why this was happening to me and also like Paul where God said His grace is sufficient though he sought God to fix the situation but one thing for sure, I wasn't going to allow this attack to make my faith waver. Many followers of Yeshua suffer from all sorts of illness and hardship but what I realized is that we should never blame God but most of all dig deep enough to learn the lesson from whatever situation you face (good or bad) and get back to business as soon as you can. Now I know God did not place this stone in my kidney but I know God good enough to know when He may be testing me to see what would I do when pressed to wall with all odds against me. Will I quit, get angry with God, complain, magnify the problem rather than the solution etc. Trust and know that I did neither but what I gained from this episode was a fresh remembrance of the suffering our Messiah and many other men and women of God went through and the other was that I can do no thing with out Him but with Him the Milky Way is the limit. I vividly remember the night after I had surgery to remove the stone, pain gripping my body again and I immediately thought "oh no not another stone" but thanks be to God it wasn't it turned out to be some other complication caused by the removal of the stone. But here I am again with death like pain and my wonderful wife just had it to the brim with these attacks so she stood up from her chair and reminded me of the one who lives inside of me and what He did on the cross and that nothing should stop me from praising the Father; lets just say that when we began praising the pain left and a deep sense of gratitude came over me and I began to sob like a baby because I knew God was showing me that He was still in control and that when I call upon Him, He is there. What we must realize is that God does not think or respond to things the same as we do and moreover He does care for our well being but He cares more for our reliance on Him and not ourselves.

A Leader With Out Followers

“He who thinks he leads, but has no followers, is only taking a walk.” John Maxwell made this statement in one of his many Leadership seminars that is partially true depending on the arena. Now before I begin with further review of this statement I wish to inform you that this is not a stab at John Maxwell or anything that he has accomplished for that matter. This is simply a spiritual and logical analyzation of something that has the potential to make or break a leader being fashioned by God. Each process is different. There is no cookie cutter determining factor of identifying a leader chosen by God. Every chosen leader by God has to be groomed first by God before the mantle or assignment is placed on them. The chosen leader of God is a leader the day he/she is chosen but as mentioned in the previous sentence, there is a process that must be completed. One thing to pay close attention to is the fact that when God chooses you to lead, no devil or man can approve or disapprove it.

In addition to the various processes that a leader will go through, we have to keep in mind that there are also different types of leaders. Think of Jeremiah or Jonah. They were chosen leaders by God that never had a following after their cause, but they took a stand and lead multiple individuals to a true state of repentance. A leader must identify who they are to lead and what they are leading them to. This will keep the leader afloat and focused as well as not looking for approval from natural occurrences.

On the other hand Abraham was a leader but he didn't have a large following, he only had his family and servants; Moses was a leader that had no followers until God had a place to lead them to and the followers he had were situational followers but none the less they followed; Jesus was a leader but during His preparation phase, there was none with him and then He had a permanent "11" and a couple hundred circumstantial followers; Elijah was a leader with no following all the way up till the end of his reign when God sent Elisha to him; Noah was a leader that had no huge following and on top of that everyone thought he was fit to be tied but Noah had to hold on to what God instructed him to do; Paul was ordained by God but no one believed him at first and he didn't have followers to support him during this stage but he continued the course and later the following came.

We can go on and on but the point to be made here is only directed to those chosen by God to lead but maybe confused with the standard set by society pertaining to leadership and may be discouraged because no one is supporting you; I suggest that you stay the course set for you by God.

Always ask God to keep you on the right path and in His will and if you happen to stray, simply stop and analyze yourself to make sure that you are not in danger of hurting others and get back on track.

The Trying of Your Faith

Cry aloud to our Father for He desires to be in harmony with His creation! Empty out your heart and all the darkest secrets that imprison you to solitary life without a cause. Return back to the Source of existence on this massive piece of dirt. Remember His past faithfulness. Cry tears of joy when an insurmountable situation arises knowing that win or lose, God still gets the glory. Don't allow inanimate objects to cry out in your place. Show our gratitude by obeying wholeheartedly. Remember that you were created a little lower than angelic beings. Depend upon every Word spoken out of the mouth of God. Remember to tell your mind to keep its thoughts to itself. Tell the world that Jesus lives with the fervent power of the Holy Spirit. Diligently fight every second of the day to commune with our Everlasting Father. Pursue it until it overtakes you and you can't recognize yourself anymore. Stick it out, and stick it out in love until you see the face of our Messiah.



Always in Love,
