DEAR ABBA

 Dear Abba,      We know You are NOT opposed to comfort. Otherwise, we would not have sent to us 'Another COMFORTer' (Helper, Advocate).  John 14:16 What is addiction to comfort?      Professionals purport "All addicts are driven by emotion," leading to impulse cues, obsession, and finally compulsive behavior. It is important to receive healing for damaged emotions. Furthermore, we must learn to regulate our emotions. Addiction to comfort is self-prohibitive and self-sabotage toward growth, change, and advancement. The outcome of addiction to comfort is stagnation.       Addiction to comfort undermines our ability to overcome adversity. Addiction to comfort displaces human grit and sheer will to move! It buries one beneath ease and relief. The scripture { Amos 6:1 } that comes to mind is," Woe unto them that are at EASE in Zion." In Luke 6:24-25 , Yeshua rebuked those who rested on their accomplishments and the laurels of succe...

 Dear Abba,      It is woefully apparent that many people declare, "The Most High is doing a new thing." Yet, the same individuals are closed off to change. They cling to the familiar when change requires letting go of one thing to receive something else. The mouth, mind, and heart must be aligned for change to unfold. Intrinsic division will obstruct advancement. Each of us has faced the future with either enthusiasm to proceed or the intimidation that causes delay. This year, I hope we can all renounce a fear of failure, doubts about the results, and lack of faith.      Whatever risks we have to take for the new thing in front of us, let's do it! Hesitation interferes with change. It makes one second-guess the decision to embrace anything new the Ruach blows into our lives. We need to receive change to remain aligned with the flow of the oil of the anointing. Otherwise, we fall behind or miss opportunities for more and overflow. "The miracle oil of G...

Dear Abba,      As we continue in the decade of the mouth ( Pey ), speech, expression, and the power of words. We can not go silent. Our words are meant to create, announce, warn, speak life, decree, proclaim, pray, praise, worship, exhortation, confess belief, and repentance for missing the mark. Believers are truth tellers. Revelatory truth and illumination of scripture are spoken from the mouth of believers. Assigned and designated voices must consecrate themselves, deny themselves, and obey Yah's unction to speak in timing and season.      Those among us who complain about not hearing The Most High speak to them must begin the habit of speaking to Him in prayer. Sit with the Holy Bible, reading the scriptures, and ask questions about what you read and for clarity and understanding. Ask for and receive wisdom to apply to your life what you now know.       There are strategies necessary to enable us to see, hear, discern, and remember....

Dear Abba,      The Venezuela situation took me by surprise; despite knowing America is an oil glutton and Venezuela has plenty of it! The alleged tyranny and corruption of the Venezuelan President and administration are reminiscent of that of Saddam Hussein. Granted, I am aware of the drug issues and the migration of many individuals and families from Venezuela to America and various places.  Arresting President  Muduro and Mrs. Munduro caught me off guard. President Trump and his leaders planned and executed the mission like a movie!  They managed to pull this off without involving the relevant channels, including Congress. What's Going on?!  Should that be a concern to us, given that we are a Republic with a democratic system?       Recent events and more to come punctuate the word of the Lord from March 2024... 'A Shaking and A Shaping.' I take comfort in knowing that the Prophets in the Lord's church have made the White House ...
