Representation Matters

 Dear Abba,


     My hand in your hand enables me to continue this journey of faith! Ruach has led me through rough terrain over the course of three-plus months. I am forever grateful You are with me, You got me, and You are backing me. Trusting You is an adventure. I experience calm delight the more I shed my fears and concerns to allow myself to free fall into your loving arms. You are trustworthy! Thank you, Abba Yah. 

     All of us can attest to nail-biting difficulties. May we all experience intimacy with great measure with Abba and a boost in our resolve to trust in His love and goodness!

     If we are honest, we know we can trust the Father with every care. The trust endeavor trips us when we do not know when and how He will show up for us. The details challenge us. It is a fight to resist wanting to know what Abba does not share with us. I decided this most recent round of circumstances that I would not bow to them and all my prayers are asked and answered. No details are required. 

     Without sharing particulars, I described some of how Abba and Ruach would show up for me. I want to discuss how we represent the Messiah to the world. Firstly, we must solidify our identity. We are spiritually reborn, new creations in Yahshuah Hammashiach. We are heirs of Abba Yah and joint heirs with Yahshuah. We are peculiar, holy, and Yah's possession. 

     As believing Image-bearers, we do what Yahshuah did when we show up in spaces, places, and to people of every status. Secondly, we exude the love of Yah. We allow Ruach to build compassion within us so we may serve those needing a demonstration of Abba Yah. 

     Sisters and brothers, if there ever was a time to arise and shine now is that time. We must arise and shine as Modern-day watchpersons through Prophetic Intercession and Intercessory prayer. Thirdly, Yahshuah shared a parable where He metaphorically used business transactions to represent the gifts, talents, and skill sets believers have. {See Luke 19:11-13)

     From neighborhoods to nations, we must understand that Representation Matters. Fourth, there is no place or around any category of people we do not show up as ourselves! Be yourself in Christ, and share your story of redemption, healing, deliverance, breakthrough, and victory. Someone must know you are living proof that you survived and now thrive. 

     In conclusion, we have become comfortable in survival mode. We have nursed our pain, disappointment, and trauma for far too long. Let's be brave to confront ourselves. We need to get on our healing journeys and whatever wellness program to get out of the pits we are in as a collective.                

     The church has to come out of this weak state! We need fire on the altars consuming uncleanliness. We need our hearts ablaze with truth. We must put away idolatrous behavior and compromised intimacy with Abba Yah! We must get into position as His anointed ones. Creation is waiting for us. We must occupy with authority, Yah's power, and the will to see good works on earth. 

     Lastly, how you and I represent may differ in mode, and, delivery, however, the message is the same: Abba Yah loves all of humanity unconditionally and Yahshuah is mighty to save souls and strong to deliver them. Don't waste time and opportunities for representation. You matter and it is time you embrace it. Let's get busy and be blessed!


Shalom, Shalom

Freedom

  DEAR ABBA,                 Thank you, Father! Through hard times and hairy experiences, I am thankful. Here is a lesson I would learn about emotions. There is nothing wrong with feelings and processing emotions. They deserve whatever limited or vast amount of attention necessary to maintain honesty, self-control, and compassion for us and others. Relationships thrive when we allow healthy communication of emotions.                 For instance, someone shared a hurtful childhood experience with me.   I responded with logic. What I missed was apologizing for their experience. An apology is a healing balm whether we are the cause of a situation or not. Let’s not rush to explain the why or reason. Instead, make room for the pain of others. Hold their hand through the healing journey. #empathy #compassion (Matthew 9:36-37, bibl...

Shaking and Shaping

  DEAR ABBA,       I am holding space for parents who had to bury their children, parents caring for ill or special needs children, and parents whose children (juvenile & adult) are incarcerated. There is no sadness, grief, or despair impossible for the power of Adonai to heal. We don't have the right words to console the hurting hearts of parents. However, we know that prayer and intercession can go where we cannot. Kind Father, let your love shower these parents and their living children. We know your righteousness and justice will prevail in each situation. We release rivers of healing, deliverance, and salvation. In Yahshuah's name, Amen.     Some things can happen to alter the trajectory of our lives. The Ruach Ha'kodesh said to me,   "Shaking and Shaping."   We hear the Prophets of The Most High Yah speak about exposure, and changing of the guards, the remnants arising, and the unseating of leaders either by de...

Everything is working together

DEAR ABBA,         The month of April would enter with winter temperatures looming. The residue of a previous season cannot deter blooming and birth from a new season. I would not abandon my idea of Spring. The reality of Spring would fill my soul. Spring is one of favorite seasons. Sometimes we may decide to cower away from things we cannot control. I encourage you to position your mind in a firm stance. Do not let go of your faith in God. Dear Abba, help me to grip my faith tightly. April winds would challenge my resilience, but a word from the Lord would anchor my soul. Abba would remind me to create the world I would want to see using my words.           Genesis chapters one and two explain the formless matter awaiting creation. It would be from chaos God would create the heavens, earth, light, bodies of water, animals, humans and more. The Holy Bible tells us, God… said, saw, called, made, placed, created, blesse...
