Ecosystems Evolve, People Become

Dear Abba,

     Redemption is a plan no one should live and die without experiencing. To become is a process denoting internal and external change. It is a development exercise years in the making for anyone looking to make the most of their life.  Recently, I watched a clip of a man stating his love for God. He further expressed his intention to be born again on his deathbed, as he did not want to live for God now. When he mentioned the freedom of choice we all have, I immediately thought about idolatry. Many individuals worship free will and freedom of choice. 

     This category of people includes those who confess they are born again. Believers choose to accept Yahushuah and enter a covenant with God, yet they do not embark on the journey to become who they were created to be. They refuse healing, deliverance, discipline, and discipleship. They merely exist among the community of believers like those in a village without becoming a villager. Willful delay typifies self-sabotage. Image bearers delay becoming who they were meant to be in Abba Yah when they wait and stall making a life-changing decision. The process benefits life in the present and life in eternity. 

     Some people put off aspects of the present for a time in the future they hope to experience. That's prideful and presumptuous. If it weren't for the mercy of the Lord, ha'satan would end the lives of many who believe they have time. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I have come that they may have life, and have it in all its fullness. (John 10:10) 

     Judas Iscariot, a disciple, comes to mind when I think of someone without the fear of the Lord, steeped in pride and presumption. He had every opportunity to use his free will to stop stealing from the treasury belonging to Yahshuah's ministry; instead, he kept going. His sin escalated. I imagine the 30 pieces of silver he accepted for betraying the Son of God was less than any amount he stole from the treasury. Judas looked the part without becoming the person! Ecosystems evolve, and people become if they decide, dedicate themselves, and commit to the process of transformation in God. 

     Every born-again believer is responsible for their journey of faith. We should continually shed the old nature and take on the new nature while applying Christ's likeness to our daily life. Apathy has run rampant in our community. It is time for prevailing prayer, intercession, and discipleship to take center stage in our churches, small groups, and our homes. As a body, we must have the altars of our hearts purified for the fear of the Lord to return. In conclusion, it was over two decades that the Ruach would awaken me and say, "My people are sleeping about what hour we are in." This statement is applicable for today. 

     

Shalom, Shalom

Loving and Liking Your Position

  Dear Abba,       Some employees are in customer-facing roles in their jobs and they do not like working with the general public . I have had my issues with the public across several industries including ministry. Employees have valid reasons for disliking their jobs. They also have unreasonable expectations from working with the general public.       For example, customers will make requests according to their preferences for the products and services offered by the company . The workers facilitating the order may feel like the customer is taking something from them as they fulfill an order. They may feel more is required of them than what is received from their role .   An employee may feel a lack of appreciation depending on the interaction between the customers . The transaction can be taken personally by the employee . The truth is, the worker is doing a job they are paid to do . They are accomplishing their w...

I Don't Quit, I Shift!

Dear Abba,      This time last year I was stressed out functioning at full throttle. Adrenaline, and tension were driving me forward. Sometimes life happens and we maintain abnormal velocities to keep pace.  From October 2024 until April 2025 I would experience the longest sprint of my life. I was one of the caregivers for our mother as she approached the ending of her health challenges. While our relationship was not without hardship; I loved and honored her flaws and all. I may make her famed sweet potato pie in her honor this year for the holidays. 👀 Nevertheless, I am moving through life focusing on my future.       Thankfully, I am much calmer these days and my body, mind, and nervous system are finding a safer rhythm for me to live and thrive. The Most High made us with the capacity to adjust. Ruach helps us to regulate our emotions.  Kislev/November is the time we acknowledge Caregivers.  Happy Caregivers Month!     ...

The Best and the Worst of Times

  Dear Abba,      It is apparent to most of us that the best and worst are happening simultaneously. This is a new norm around the world. We have mixtures of war, peace, grief, joy, fair and stormy weather, and disasters of various sorts. However, our hope and trust is in You. We know you are good and   "You crown the year with your goodness."  (Psalm 65:11) The Best and the Worst of Times: What is the position of every believer?       Many of us like the statement, "God controls everything." There is no denying Abba Yah's sovereignty. We respect it. There is truth to us having control and Abba Yah gaining access in the circumstances. When Yahshuah would teach the disciples to pray, significant words from the prayer confirm my point.  "Your kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven."  (Matt 6:10)  In other words, our prayers of faith aligning with the will of Abba Yah "invite" Him into our situation. We ha...
