I come before you today to declare a truth that will transform your life, not tomorrow! not next week! but today because when the Holy Spirit comes, He does not come to entertain. He comes to educate. He comes to liberate. He comes to reveal, and the Bible says you shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free, but hear me the truth does not set you free by existing! it set you free when you know it! and you cannot know it unless you are led to it! that’s why we cry out today. Holy spirit lead me to the truth. That sets me free because the greatest bondage in life is not physical. It is spiritual. It is not mental. It is not emotional. It is living life, believing a lie, calling the truth and wondering why you’re still in the same mindset! change comes When the Holy Spirit begins his work in your life the very first area he addresses is your identity! before he gives you direction! before he release his gifts! before he empowers you for your purpose! he calls you to confront the most important question you will ever answer. not what your resume says! not what your family or friends think! not even what life has told you! the question is who did Yah create you to be! One of the most tragic things in the world is to live your entire life as a stranger to yourself! the Holy Spirit comes to break that cycle. He comes to introduce you to your true self. The self that was formed in the mind of Yah before the foundation of the world scripture says in Jeremiah 15 before I formed you in your mother‘s womb, I knew you! That means Yah had a relationship with you before your body ever formed!your origin is not earth! it is heaven you came from eternity! stepped into time and you are here on assignment but when you don’t know your identity, you cannot walk in your assignment. This is why the enemy doesn’t have to destroy you. He just has to confuse you! because once you lose side of who you are, you lose your voice! You lose your confidence. You live your life reacting to lies rather than responding to truth. You become vulnerable to manipulation! to shame to cycles of insecurity and worst of all you begin to settle! you settle for relationships beneath your worth. You settle for jobs that don’t reflect your purpose. You settle for habits that destroy you slowly! you settle for versions of you that were never authorized by Yah , but the Holy Spirit comes with truth, not temporary comfort! not flattery truth he comes with revelation so strong that it breaks the grip of every label! you carry labels like failure! unworthy! rejected! too late! not enough! he comes to tear down. False identity is built by trauma! by culture! by broken families and even by religion Because religion will sometimes convince you that you’re worth is based on your performance, but the spirit reminds you that your identity is based on your relationship with the father. You are a son! You are a daughter and you don’t have to achieve to be accepted. You are accepted therefore you can achieve! Look at Yahusha before he ever performed a miracle before he preached the sermon before he walked on water or heal the sick the father said from heaven this is my beloved son and whom I am well pleased! the spirit descended upon him like a dove not after he proved himself, but before! why because identity comes before assignment, you cannot truly walk in power. If you were unsure of your position, that’s what the spirit does. he confirms your position! Romans 8:16 says the spirit bears witness with our spirit that we are children of Yah that means the Holy Spirit job is not just to empower you externally, but to affirm you internally! to be a witness! to echo the truth! that you already belong! that you were already enough! that you are already chosen! you are not trying to become something you are learning to be who you already are in Yahusha and let me say this to someone who’ve been living in guilt, shame, or confusion you are not your mistake. You are not your addiction. You are not your depression. You are not the abuse you experienced. You are not the opinion of people who couldn’t see your value. Your identity is not in your pain. It is in Yah’s promise and a spirit of Yah will never call you by your shame! he calls you by your assignment! That’s why when Peter was drowning in denial. Yahusha still called him rock! that’s why when Jacob the deceiver was wrestling with Yah! the spirit renamed him. Israel prince! because Yah does not speak to the version of you that you’ve accepted in defeat. He speaks to the version of you that he designed in victory. He is the thing! When the Holy Spirit revealed your true identity. It’ll confront everything you built on a lie! it would disrupt your comfort zone! it will challenge the way you think! the way you talk! the way you carry yourself! because when you see yourself correctly, you begin to demand more from your life! you stop settling for survival and start walking in significant! You stop saying I’m just getting by! and start saying I was born for impact! you stop hiding and start leading, you stop apologizing for your life and start letting Yah shine. The spirit will start showing you things in your past not to condemn you but to redeem you. He will take what the enemy used to shame you and use it as a testimony of transformation. You will begin to see that even your broken places were part of the process of becoming who you are! because identity is not found in the absence of struggle! the truth is you are created in the image and likeness of Yah! you were designed with dominion in your DNA! you were made to reflect the nature of your father, not just in form but in function! you are not weak you are not powerless you are not insignificant you are fearfully and wonderfully made, and the spirit is not here to give you a new personality. He is here to reveal your true nature if you’ve ever felt lost or like a stranger in your own skin! hear this the Holy Spirit is calling you home not to a place but to your true identity!he is calling you back to the image that was in the mind of Yah when he first imagined you, and once you embrace that identity, freedom follows. Confidence follows clarity follows, because when you know who you are You stop asking for permission to exist! you start walking with authority you start living with boldness!!you start praying with faith and you begin to live not as a copy, but as an original! uniquely designed! divinely crafted and eternally significant, that’s what the Holy Spirit wants to reveal to you the truth about you and when you know the truth when you live in it, breathe in walk it you will experience a level of freedom. This world cannot give and hell cannot take away. You’ll be free to live Free! to lead and free to fulfill. Everything. Yah place inside you! you will finally be free to be you the real, you! the kingdom, you that you! that health and heaven recognizes and that fiveamprayer is the truth that set you free! the greatest tragedies in the body of Christ today is that so many believers live powerless lives not because power is not available, but because they don’t know it’s theirs and I’m not talking about emotional power. I’m not talking about Charisma volume. I’m talking about spiritual authority, the kind of authority that shifts atmospheres! that dismantles darkness and declares Yah’s will into the Earth. The truth is most people have been taught how to survive! not how to rule! they’ve been trained to endure storms instead of commanding peace. They’ve been conditioned to pray from fear instead of from faith!!when the Holy Spirit comes into your life, He doesn’t just come to make you feel better. He comes to make you stronger. He doesn’t just bring comfort he brings power and that power is not random. It’s rooted in authority! authority is not something you earned. It’s something you receive! Yahusha said in Luke 10:19 behold I give you authority to trample over snakes and scorpions, and all the power of the enemy and nothing shall by any means overtake you! That was not motivational speech that was a legal transfer of dominion! that was Yahusha the king of all creation, passing the keys of spiritual authority into the hands of those who follow him and when you receive the Holy Spirit, you are receiving not just the presence! you are receiving a government! You are being reconnected to heaven‘s kingdom and authorized to represent its interest on the Earth, but here is the problem If you don’t know your authority you will always live beneath your potential. You keep praying for Yah to do what he’s already giving you the authority to handle! You beg Yah to remove Demons when he told you to cast them out! you’ll ask for peace in your home, when the spirit has already empowered, you to speak peace over your family! the Holy Spirit leads you into this truth you were born to rule! not just to react. Don’t misunderstand me. This is not arrogance. This is alignment. I’m not talking about controlling people. I’m talking about governing spiritual realities. You were never called to be dominated by fear, anxiety, sin, confusion, or the lies of the enemy! the Holy Spirit reveals that through Christ you have the authority to walk in victory over spiritual attack! that comes against you! that doesn’t mean battles won’t come. It means you no longer fight as a victim, you fight from a position of victory Think about Yahusha in the wilderness the enemy came to tempt him! to test him l! to break him, but how did Yahusha respond… was it with panic! Or tears? He responded with authority. It is written!!! that’s how authority speaks. It’s rooted in the word! it’s anchored in truth! and it is enforced by the spirit. Yahusha did not wrestle with HaSatan. He resisted him with truth. too very few people have the courage to talk about it! Yahusha needed to use the word under the spirit. How much more do we the Holy Spirit teaches you to stop tolerating what Yah told you to conquer l! you weren’t meant to live under the generation curses, addictions, fear, or spiritual stagnation. The enemy wants you to believe That you are weak! that you’re powerless! that you have to take whatever comes your way, but the Holy Spirit reminds you that the same power that raised Yahusha from the dead lives in you! You got greater power! Not less power not the diluted version! the same resurrection power abide in you right now! that means you don’t have to live on defense. You’re gonna live all on the offense but to walk in this truth, your mindset must change! too many believers have a slave mentality! in a kingdom, they’re called to rule. They approach Yah like orphans, begging for crumbs instead of sons and daughter seated at the table, but when you are filled with the spirit, you realize that you are not an outsider, you are an ambassador! you have a legal right to speak life l! to fight the words of darkness! to loose the purposes of Yah and to walk as a representative of the kingdom that’s why HaSatan works overtime to keep you ignorant! because authority that’s not understood is never activated. The enemy is not afraid of your church attendance. He’s afraid of your revelation. He’s afraid of the moment you realize who you are and what you carry! cause once you walk in authority his power is broken. You start recognizing his lies. Faster! you stop giving into cycles. You stop reacting, emotionally, and start responding. Spiritually! you become a threat! powerful authority grows with intimacy the more time you spend with the Holy Spirit the more confident you become not in yourself, but in who he is in you, you start to sense his leading! you hear his voice more clearly! you step out in boldness! not because you are fearless, but because you trust the one who sent you, you begin to walk like Yahusha walked Not begging for miracles, but releasing them! even in prayer authority shifts everything! you start praying sacred prayers! you stop giving Yah rehearsed, monologues of worry! you start praying from your seat in heavenly places! you pray from victory not for victory! you begin to speak with confidence command with humility and decree with faith because you know heaven back up with heaven authority! This authority isn’t for performance it’s for purpose it’s not for ego! It is for expansion! the expansion of the kingdom! the Holy Spirit doesn’t empower you to show off! he empowers you to tear down strongholds! to heal the broken! to declare the gospel with clarity! And to walk in freedom so others can be free! The authority he gives you is always connected to your assignment, and if you don’t understand your authority, you will always operate beneath the level of your calling! so today the spirit is inviting you to rise up, not in flesh, but in faith not in pride, but in purpose he’s reminding you that you are not fighting for victory you’re fighting from victory! the battle is real, but your position is secure! you are seated with Christ. You are covered by his blood you are filled with his spirit, and you are authorized to represent heaven on earth. You don’t need another prophetic word to walk in you need revelation, and the spirit is the one who brings it. He opened your eyes. He strengthens your heart. He breaks off the lies. I told you you were weak and he close you in the authority that Jesus died to give you so take up your position. Speak the word cast out what doesn’t belong. Find what’s been trying to bind you declare truth over your home, your mind your children, your city because the spirit is not just in you to comfort you. He is in you to commission you And the time to walk in your thought is not someday it is now because once you know the truth about your authority you will never live like a victim again you walk like a son you pray like a king and you live as one who knows they’ve been sent with heaven’s fall back Dunshire 24 do you think is not a luxury for the elite it is not reserved for pastors, profits, or people in public ministry purposes the divine reason for your existence, and the Holy Spirit has been sent to reveal it to you. The truth about your purpose is not something you invent is something you discover, and only the spirit of Yah can lead you into it because only the one who designed you know exactly why you were born. You are not a mistake. You are not an accident. You didn’t arrive on earth to simply pay bills! raise a family and die one day! hoping you did enough good! you came with an assignment. You were born with a mission that is placed inside you and the greatest tragedy is not dying! is dying full of potential! full of dreams that were never pursued! full of books that were never written! songs never song! businesses never build! messages never preached. The Holy Spirit comes to empty you into your purpose! to guide you into a life! that is poured out for Yah’s glory! for the enemy of your soul. Will do everything possible to distract you from your purpose. He’ll try to convince you that you’re not ready! that you’re not qualify! that you’ve missed your chance! that you’re too flawed! to old l! too young to broken! to ordinary, but the spirit whispers truth that silences those lies he reminds you that Yah does not call the qualified! he qualifies, and if he called you, he has already equipment you . The truth is your purpose is not found in popularity. It’s found in obedience. It’s not about how many people know your name. It’s about whether you fulfill the assignment attached to your name! And the spirit will lead you into a life of compassion! he lead you in the clarity! he shows you that your purpose! doesn’t need to look like anyone else’s l! you were not created a compete! you were created to complete the portion of heaven‘s agenda! that only you can fulfill! He’s not always loud sometimes He’s quiet! sometimes it looks like raising children in the fear of the law!!sometimes it looks like starting a business that’s fulfil kingdom work! sometimes it looks like mentoring a young man who’s on the edge of destruction sometimes serving behind the scenes! praying for your city building where no one sees, and when you trust Yah, even in the small things! Heaven takes notice! The spirit also shows you that purpose is not a straight line. It unfolds in seasons! it is progressive! he reveals it step-by-step. That’s why you must walk with him daily! not just for power, but for direction, you cannot fulfill a spiritual assignment in the strength of your flesh. You need the spiritual to interpret times and seasons to tell you when to speak and when to stay silent, when to move and when to wait! when to plant and when to reap! when to go deeper, and when to let go, purpose requires surrender, the Holy Spirit often lead you in ways that don’t make sense to the natural mind! he will call you to places that stretch your faith. He will ask you to forgive when you wanna fight!! he will lead you to build when you feel unqualified. He will ask you to let go of comfort to step into calling!!Because the path of purpose is faith with trust and where there is no trust! there can be no transformation! Think about Moses. He had a past full of failure insecurity and shame, but the spirit found him on the backside of a desert and reminded him that his mistakes didn’t cancel his assignment. The burning bush was not just about fired. It was about purpose and just like Moses some of you have been hiding thinking Yah can’t use you but the Holy Spirit is saying I don’t need your perfection. I need you. Yes is not about how strong you are. It’s about how surrendered you are and when you surrender the Holy Spirit begins to breathe on your gifts! he activates what was dormant! he stirs up what was buried! he resurrect what you thought was dead. The spirit will awaken your creativity, your vision, your passion, and you’re calling it’s not about elevating yourself. It’s about pouring yourself out for the glory of Yah and for the good of others but here’s the truth. You will never step fully into your purpose without identity and authority. That’s why the spirit establishes those truths first because until you know who you are and what you carry, you will never fully step into what you were sent to do! Identity gives you confidence!! authority gives you boldness!! purpose gives you direction!! and when all three come together, you become unstoppable. The Holy Spirit leads you away from busyiness into effectiveness! he teaches you to stop chasing opportunities and start steward in your assignment. He doesn’t just open doors he shows you which ones to walk-through. He doesn’t just give you ideas. He breathes on them and gives you strategy. He teaches you how to build according to heavens, blueprint!! not your own ambition because purpose without the spirit is just performance purpose with the spirit becomes legacy and purpose will cost you. It will cost your comfort! it will cost your pride. It may cost relationships, routines, and reputation, but it’s worth it!! because the moment you begin to walk in what Yah created you! for you come alive in a way that nothing else can satisfy you! You stop looking for validation you stop chasing things that don’t matter you stop wasting time in places Yah never called you to be you start living focused, intentional, joyful! fulfilled! not because life is easy, but because your life has meaning! you wake up knowing you are on assignment, you go to sleep knowing you poured out everything you had and the spirit continues to lead you deeper revealing new layers! new opportunities. New expressions Purpose doesn’t always come with a spotlight, but it always comes with peace, and when the spirit leads you into your purpose, he doesn’t just show you what to do. He walks with you through it. He is your wisdom when things get hard. He is your strength when you feel worried. He is your reminder when you feel forgotten, he is your compass when you feel lost because your purpose is not just a destination. It’s a journey With him and when your time on earth is done, you’ll be able to say like Paul I have fought the good fight. I have finished the race. I have kept the faith! that is the legacy of a life lived on purpose. That is the fruit of walking in step with the Holy Spirit! if you’ve been wondering, unsure of what you were created for! don’t look to the world for the answer, don’t look to culture or comparison ask the Holy Spirit because he holds the blueprint of your life. He sees the end from the beginning, and he is committed to leading you into the truth of your divine assignment and when you walk in the truth, you will be free free from confusion, free from fear free from regret you will be free to live the life you were born to live a life of purpose!! a life that matters a life that echoes eternity that is the truth that set you free! Fiveamprayer the spirit of truth is not just a comforter he is a guide. He doesn’t lead you to convenience. He leads you to clarity and once you know the truth once he leads you to the truth, your chains fall, your mind is renewed, and your purpose is ignited! so today lift your voice open your heart say it with faith Holy Spirit lead me to the truth that sets me free! because where the spirit of the Lord is there is, liberty and when truth comes, freedom follows that very second. ALL PRAISES TO THE MOST HIGH YAH!!!

Shabbat Shalom Fiveamprayer Family! I’m so glad to be here with you on this Shabbat! I don’t know how you came into this teaching maybe full of hope maybe full of questions or maybe you’ll here clinging to the last thread of faith but wherever you are in your journey, I want you to take a deep breath, exhale, and hear this truth with your whole heart! Act as if everything always works out not because we are pretending problems don’t exist, but because we serve a Yah who never fails several years ago, I hit a wall. I was in a season where nothing made sense bills piling up opportunities, slipping away. Prayers met with silence and I remember one morning Sitting in my car after I got another rejection call just staring at the steering wheel. I whispered Yah are you still writing the story because the pages feel blank right now and in that quiet, I sensed a whisper back not a booming voice, but a nudge in my heart skip! I had to align my perspective and get in line for destination. That’s why you go with her it changed me from that point! I chose to show up differently, I began to act as if the breakthrough was already on its way. I applied for jobs like I was already qualified. I woke up each morning and dressed like I had somewhere important to be. I prayed like the answer was already yes and overtime doors began to open, but more than that my faith grew roots. Interestingly, this isn’t just motivational talk. It’s biblical in Hebrews 11:1 scripture tells us now faith is the substance of things. Hope for the evidence of things not seen. Think about that. Faith is the substance. It’s the real stuff of the things we haven’t touched yet!its the evidence of what? still still invisible that means when you act as if you’re not living in denial You’re living in the truth of what Yah has already spoken, even if it hasn’t manifested it yet the heroes of faith didn’t wait for visible proof before they moved. Noah built the ark before the first drop of rain. Abraham packed up and left without knowing where he was going. David ran toward Goliath, not away. They lived like Yah’s promises were fulfilled because in Yah’s timeline! I wanna ask you? what would change in your life if you truly believe that everything would work out perfectly! but for your good and his glory! if you stop rehearsing defeat and started rehearsing deliverance because when you walk in that kind of faith, not fear, not fantasy but faith you don’t just wait for the promise you prepare for it and that kind of preparation moves heaven! let’s go deeper now let me explain how mindset affects behavior and the outcomes one of the most powerful things Yah has ever given us. Besides, a spirit is perspective the way you see something determines the way you respond to it and your response shapes your result. It’s not just what you’re facing that matters. It’s how you perceive what you’re facing that’s why I wanna talk about shifting your mindset act, as if everything always works out not from logic to fantasy, but from fear to faith is a world of difference between wishful thinking and acting in faith. Now let’s be real wishful thinking is passive it hopes for the best without preparing for it! it says maybe one day, but takes no steps to walk in that day. Faith on the other hand acts as if the promise is already in motion. It doesn’t wait for circumstances to change it changes its posture before anything externally! that kind of mindset move mountains not just metaphorically, but literally because Yah doesn’t just respond to needs he responds to faith. Let me tell you a story about a young woman. I know we call her Mariah. She had a dream of becoming a fashion designer, but life wasn’t exactly giving her runway lights and sewing machines. She was working a retail job, taking care of her siblings and didn’t even own a decent laptop. Everything around her said Not now maybe not ever but something inside her flipped one day she stopped waiting for the right conditions and started sketching during her lunch breaks to watch YouTube videos on design instead of binging shows she acted as if doors were about to open even when her reality said otherwise fast forward two years Mariah now runs her own small business with a thriving clothing brand. She didn’t wait until she had a studio to start she started in faith right in the middle of lack. She told me once I had to see it in my mind before I ever saw it in my life and that right there is the power of perspective! now if you think that’s impressive. Let me take you back to one of the most iconic moments in scripture one Samuel 17 when a teenage Shepherd name David stood in front of a seasoned warrior giant named Goliath. Everyone around. David saw an impossible battle. They saw he armor intimidation, and defeat, but David saw something else. He saw an opportunity for Yah to be glorified. His perspective was radically different from all those around him and the armies of danger. Listen to words in verse 45 you come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the Lord Almighty. He didn’t just believe Yah could win. He acted like it was already done. He ran toward the giant instead of away from him. Imagine with no sword no shield just a slingshot based on what His Faith in Yah! it was the kind of perspective that changes the game! It isn’t that life don’t always come 9 feet tall sometimes they come dressed as deadlines bad diagnoses, failing marriages, lost dreams or the voice in your head, saying you’re not enough, but how you see your giant will determine whether you hide in fear or rise in faith. The enemy wants you to magnify the problem. Yah wants you to magnify him. Furthermore, your perspective doesn’t just affect you! it impacts everyone connected to you when David stepped up the entire Israelite army gained courage his perspective set a new tone for his generation. You might be the David in your family. You might be the one who decides to act as if Yah is who he says he is and when you do, others will start to believe too, but let me make this personal. What if you stopped measuring your future future based on your present, what have you started viewing your challenges as invitations to trust Yah more deeply! Faith doesn’t ignore the fact it just sees them through a different filter. It says yes this is hard, but Yah is still able. Yes this looks impossible, but nothing is impossible with him. You might be looking at your bank account account and thinking there’s no way I’ll ever be free from this or staring a business. It’s barely breathing and wondering if you should just just give up But can I challenge you on today!!to shift your perspective? Ask yourself how would I act if I knew Yah was already working behind the scenes how would I plan give or if I believe that everything even this was gonna work out for good! the truth is Yah never promised we wouldn’t face battles but he did promise he never leave us in them! That changes everything and when your mind shifts from fear to faith your whole life start to move in that direction so today if you remember, nothing else, remember this Giants are only your perspective in life, not because of perfect strategy, but because of fearless, faith and fearless faith begins with a perspective that refuses to magnify the problem chooses instead to magnify the Yah who’s never lost a battle keep going that’s explore faith in action. It’s easy to say we have faith when everything‘s going well. It’s easy to raise our hands in worship when doors are opening and prayers are being answered in real time! what about the moments when nothing is happening when the job isn’t coming through the relationship is falling apart. The breakthrough feels like a myth. What does faith look like then! because real biblical faith isn’t just what you feel. It’s what you do faith isn’t passive. It’s incredibly proactive. It’s not about waiting around for a sign in the sky. It’s about taking steps even when you don’t see the path take Noah for instance Genesis chapter 6 through nine!!paints a vivid picture of a man who didn’t just believe Yah he obey him. Yah told Noah to build an ark because rain was coming now that might not sound too wild until you realize it had never rained before Not like that. Noah didn’t have evidence. He had a word and what did he do? We picked up tools he chopped wood he measured cubits he followed Yah’s instructions down to the nail! can you imagine the stares he must’ve gotten the conversations people probably thought he lost his mind. You’re building a what Noah for a what kind of storm, but Noah didn’t build the ark because the storm had started. He built the ark before the storm ever came. That’s what faith in action looks like it doesn’t wait for proof it prepares based on a promise likewise, James 2:17brings this truth home with piercing clarity. Faith without works is dead, not weak, but dead. In other words faith that doesn’t move is not faith at all. You can declare all the right things pray all the right prayers, but if there’s no movement, no obedience It’s empty because real faith doesn’t just believe Yah will do it. It behaves like Yah’s already doing, let me share a real story with you this one close to home a single mother, I know raising three children on her own, had a dream of launching a small catering business business no investors, no savings just her talent hustle, and her faith she could’ve waited until someone handed her a check or a perfect kitchen But instead she started cooking meals from a tiny apartment. She posted photos on social media walked flyers around her neighborhood and delivered food in her beat up car with her kids in the backseat. She didn’t wait until things made sense. She moved while it was messy and do you know what happened? People started ordering Then those orders turned into repeat clients then someone who tasted her food offered to sponsor her first small storefront kitchen it didn’t happen overnight, but it did happen through faith in motion. This woman didn’t hope for favor she walked toward it. She lived as if Yah was backing her because he was and he still is!!In fact, I wonder what is Yah is calling you to build? What business idea what ministry what book what step of obedience is sitting in your spirit right now waiting for action because let me tell you something powerful Yah often waits to release the provision after we take the step! we want the red seat to part before we move but sometimes you have to step into the water, just like the priest did in Joshua 3:10!and only then did the water begin to roll back and yes, it’s scary. Yes, it takes risk. Yes, people might not understand But your responsibility is not to make people understand your responsibility is to obey what Yah place in your spirit because when you move in faith, you’re not moving alone you are moving with the authority and backing of the king of Kings. Let me ask you today if you really believe that Yah was with you. What would you do differently? What emails would you send? What would you write down? Who would you forgive? What risk would you finally take because acting as if everything works out isn’t just hopeful thinking it’s a posture of obedience it says Yah I trust you so much. I’m gonna move before I see a sign. I’m gonna step even when I don’t see the staircase. I’m gonna build like the rain is coming I’m gonna sow like the harvest is already on its way and here’s the beautiful part when we move with that kind of faith we start to see Yah moving in ways we never imagined Not because we earned it, but because we trusted him enough to act before it made sense to get ready to discover faith in action regardless of circumstances, let’s get something straight today . Faith is not a feeling it’s not a moment It’s not just a few uplifting words during a Shabbat message. Faith is a force. Faith is movement faith is stepping into what Yah has said even when nothing around, you confirms it and more than that faith is active. It’s not sitting in a chair, waiting for the phone to ring or the opportunity to knock. It’s putting your hand to the plow because real faith doesn’t sit it builds take Noah for example, you can find his story between Genesis chapter 6 and verse nine Yah came to him with an assignment that made absolutely no sense in human terms build a giant boat in the middle of dryland for a flood no one had ever seen rain, what rain people probably thought he was delusional, but Yah didn’t give Noah a weather forecast. He gave him instructions, and Noah didn’t argue. He didn’t negotiate. He built day after day year after year with no proof, except a word from Yah now imagine the ridicule the whispers there goes crazy Noah again, working on that big boat for a storm that doesn’t exist, but Noah kept swinging the hammer he kept showing up not because he saw results because he trusted the one who gave the blueprint his faith didn’t believe it moved. That’s what set him apart and it’s the same for us. Faith without action is just noise James chapter 2 verse 17 says it plainly faith without works is dead, not effective dead. That means you can say all the right things post all the scriptures and still miss it if you’re not putting your belief into motion because talk is cheap obedience cost something I remember meeting a single mother a woman who had every reason to play it safe three kids, no spouse no financial backing just a dream burning in her belly and a conviction that Yah had more for her. She wanted to start a business catering, but she had no commercial kitchen no team no big break just pots pans and a vision rather than wait for the ideal moment she got to work she cooked meals out of a tiny apartment kitchen. She walked flyers daughter door. She offered samples at local events. She sold plates from her car. I watched her grind through exhaustion throughout through. She had to stretch every dollar, but she kept moving she kept believing, and she kept acting as if Yahvwas going to meet her on the other side of her effort and wouldn’t you know it he did! Someone invested in her dream and helped her secure a small storefront today she’s not just running a successful catering business she’s mentoring other women who are where she used to be. That’s what faith in action produces not just results but legacy so often we say we’re waiting on Yah but what if he’s waiting on us Waiting for us to pick up the hammer waiting for us to type the first page of the book waiting for us to apply for that grant make that call go to that meeting. See the arc didn’t build itself. You have to start before it rains. What’s powerful is that when we move we partner with heaven! Yah doesn’t just bless intentions. He bless his steps, think about Peter when he walked on water. He didn’t wait for the storm to come. He stepped out while the waves were still crashing. He walked not on water, but on a word and the moment he acted in faith, the impossible became possible likewise, you’ve got to act like Yah is backing you because he is you don’t have to wait for the crowd to believe in you. You don’t need the applause of people to start doing what Yah has called you to do The moment you align your faith with obedience things begin to shift, not always immediately, but certainly eventually and don’t be discouraged by slow progress noah build for over 100 years before the rain came that means faith doesn’t always work fast, but it always works faithfully you’re not building for applause You’re building for obedience your building because you trust that what Yah said is more real than what your situation looks like the question is simple what would you be doing? If you were sure Yah was with you would you start writing that business plan? Would you forgive someone? Would you so into someone else’s vision would you step away from what’s comfortable to pursue what kingdom has instructed you to do! let me tell you the world doesn’t need more talkers. It needs more builders more people who don’t just believe Yah!!in theory, but walk it out daily people who act as if everything always works out not because they’ve seen it yet, but because they know the one who holds the outcome And when you act like Yah is backing you! you start to see doors open not because of your power, but because of your posture, so move build because your faith doesn’t become real, when you say it, it becomes real when you live it! let’s talk about embracing delays without defeat. Sometimes the hardest part of faith isn’t starting, but waiting! not because we don’t believe Yah can do it, but because we thought it would’ve happened by now, you see it’s easy to be bold in the beginning. It’s easy to move with confidence when the ideas are fresh and hope is high But what are you doing when days turn into weeks! weeks into months and you’re still in the same place, praying the same prayer Yah did you forget me! this is where real faith gets tested not in the go! but in the wait!! Let’s talk about Joseph for a moment his history spans across Genesis chapter 37 to chapter 50 and if you read it before you know, it’s not a straight line from dream to destiny. Yah gave Joseph a vision, a clear one he saw himself rising to leadership! others, bowing before him! This was so significance, but instead of promotion, he got betrayal! instead of elevation he got thrown into a pit by his own brothers, and if that wasn’t enough, he was sold into slave slavery, falsely accused, and tossed into prison. Nowhere in the dream did prison show up, but he was!!nevertheless he didn’t let the delay destroy his discipline. He didn’t quit. He didn’t lose his excellent he didn’t say well since this isn’t what I expected. I’ll just sit back and do the bare minimum. No, he served. He interpreted dreams for others while his own dreams were still on hold. He managed the prison with integrity and when the time came when pharaoh needed someone trustworthy someone gifted someone prepared Joseph was ready because he acted as if Yah was still working, even when nothing looked like it! that kind of faith waiting without weathering is what opens the door for miracles so many of us miss what Yah wants to do because we mistake delay for denial, but delay is not Yah saying no it’s Yah saying not yet!!And let’s be honest not yet can feel like a gut punch when you’re giving your all when you’re praying with everything in you when you’re watching others get what you’re still believing for but hear me today! Yah does some of his greatest work behind the curtain! we see this echoed in Romans chapter 8 verse 28 and we know that in all things, Yah works for the good of those who love him who have been called according to his purpose notice it doesn’t say some things it says all things That includes everything that includes confusion that includes being overlooked misunderstood passed over Joseph couldn’t see it when he was in the pit, but the pit was part of the plan!!betray all the injustice the prison! all of it was positioning him for the palace. At this point you might be thinking well what do I do while I wait And that’s the right question cause the waiting season isn’t a wasted season unless you wasted! this is the time to sharpen your gifts. This is the time to cultivate discipline. This is the time to serve faithfully even if no one sees Joseph didn’t wait for a promotion to start acting like a leader. He lead in the prison first let me bring this home a friend of mine applied for a high-level job. She felt called too. She had the experience the education, the passion everything aligned, but the door didn’t open not once not twice but three times each time she felt that sting but instead of shrinking, she poured herself into a current role. She started mentoring other. She took extra certification. She showed up early and stayed late years later yes yes the company called her not only for the job she originally applied for, but for something even bigger than she had imagined, she told me had I gotten it earlier. I wouldn’t have been ready. Yah knew the pace I needed! not just the place I want it. That’s it right there. Yah is not preparing a place for you. He’s preparing you for the place and sometimes that takes time! but confuse divine timing with divine absence!!just because it hasn’t happened yet doesn’t mean it’s not in motion so keep doing what Joseph did show up. Stay excellent stay humble. Keep giving your best when no one is watching. Keep sewing seats even if you don’t see fruit yet your palace moment is coming, but the question is will you be ready when it knocks? Stay with me as we unpack self discipline the faith muscle discipline now there’s a word most of us don’t shout. Amen over. It’s not flashy. It doesn’t trend. It doesn’t get instant applause, but if you’re serious about living out your purpose, if you truly want to act as if everything always works out then discipline cannot be optional. It must become your default because what we call discipline heaven often calls faith and motion too often we separate the spiritual from the practical we say we trust Yah , but our schedule is chaotic. We say we believe in our calling, but we can’t wake up consistently to prepare for it. That’s why many miss it not in their belief, but in their habits and here’s the truth self discipline is not just a personal preference. It is a spiritual Hebrews chapter 12 verse 11 says it’s straight. No discipline seems pleasant at the time but painful later on however it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it!!did you catch that discipline produces a harvest in other words it’s not punishment it’s preparation now let’s be real Discipline doesn’t feel spiritual at first waking up early to read your Bible setting boundaries with your time choosing character when no one‘s watching these don’t always come with goosebumps, but that’s the very point. Yah is looking for people who won’t just feel inspired, but who will train themselves to carry what he’s about to release an athlete in the off-season no cameras no fans just early mornings, sore muscles, and repetition While others are sleeping. This athlete is grinding not because there’s a guaranteed win but because there’s a commitment to be ready when the whistle blows the acts of the championship is coming even when there’s no crowd in sight and it’s the quiet training that separates them when the lights turn off!!the assignment is real and I’m going to be ready before it shows up. That’s what walking by faith looks like you’re not waiting for the platform to start preparing the message you’re not waiting for the job to start building the skill you’re not waiting for applause to start showing up like a professional! Yahusha before his public ministry spent 30 years in the quiet 30 years of obedience 30 years of learning carpentry, honoring his parents studying scripture building character only three years of ministry decades of preparation because discipline sets the foundation for what destiny will demand and let me challenge you with something practical look at your routines. Look at how you manage your mornings look at how how you handle your gifts your body your mind are you stewarding them in a way that reflects where you’re going or where you’ve been Because if you act as if everything always works out, you won’t waste time you got it. You won’t scroll endlessly you’ll study you won’t just wish for change your train for discipline is not about perfection. It’s about posture. It’s about saying I trust Yah so much. I’m not going to wait until I see it. I’m going to live like it’s already mine and when you do that people may not understand your level of commitment they may say why are you trying so hard when nothing‘s happening yet but what they don’t see is what you believe you believe there’s more you believe something‘s coming you believe the harvest is on the other side of consistency and here’s the beauty of discipline it doesn’t just prepare you for success it protect you when you get there because open doors without strong discipline can crush a weak character, but when you’ve been trained by sacrifice by consistency by humility! so I’ll ask you again if you truly believe things will work out. What kind of discipline would you walk in today? What would you start doing now? Because faith without action is dead and action without discipline is aimless keep sharpening. Keep showing up. Keep living as if Yah’s promise is closer than it feels because it is and you discipline your declaration that you’re ready to carry it well together let’s uncover overcoming fear and doubt fear that invisible wall standing between where you are and where you call to be The tricky part disguises itself as logic whispers. What if you fail if you’re not enough what if this isn’t the right time let me flip that for a moment. What if everything does work out instead of fear being your forecast faith was your fuel fear is not just an emotion. It’s a spiritual thief. It robs clarity, paralyzes action and disguise his doubt as wisdom, but scripture couldn’t be clear and Timothy chapter 1 verse seven says for Yah is not given us a spirit of fear, but the power of love of a sound mind that means if fear is driving your decisions, Yah is not in the driver seat faith is not the absence of fear is the choice to trust Yah anyway!!think about Peter in Matthew chapter 14 verse 22 to 33. Yahusha is walking on the water and Peter sees him and says Lord if it’s really you tell me to come Yahusha says come that was all Peter needed he steps out of the boat and for a moment he walks on water think about a human being, defying the laws of physics. Fear only wins when you feed it and you feed it with overthinking with comparison with isolation but when you start feeding your faith with prayer with worship with the word, stave fear as influence, that’s why it’s so crucial to speak life over yourself sometimes you gotta look in the mirror and say I was not created for fear I was made for purpose. You got a declare scripture until your soul starts believing it and you’ve got to surround yourself yourself with people who push you towards faith not panic. fear there will always offer a counterfeit future one that says you’re abandoned and protected destined to fall but faith reminds you that you are covered, equipped and chosen the key is deciding who you’re going to believe because fear is just faith in the wrong outcome when you believe that Yah is who he says he is fear has no authority over your life When you believe that Yah is working all things for your good fear. so let me ask you again what if everything does work out what if the very thing you’re afraid to start becomes the breakthrough someone else is praying for what if your obedience unlocks not only your purpose but a chain reaction of miracles in the lives of others now is not the time to hesitate. Now is the time to silence. Fear with faith you have a sound mind you have power you have love, and above all you have a Yah who walks on water and calls you to do the same Step out the boat was never your destiny! Let Him open your eyes to productivity! aligned with purpose when we talk about productivity, many people people think of hustle long to do list and staying busy but productivity in the kingdom of Yah is not just about being busy it’s about being aligned Because you can be exhausted and still not be effective. You can be moving fast and still be headed in the wrong direction true fruitfulness comes when you’re doing lines up with why Yah created you in the first place now consider the parable of the talents in Matthew chapter 25 verse 14 to 30 Yahusha tells the story of a master who gives his servant different amounts of money, five talents, two talents, and one talent each according to their ability, the first two servants immediately go to work and invest what they’ve been given they doubled their portion, but the third servant is his talent in the ground. He doesn’t lose it, but he also doesn’t grow and when the master returns, the two who took action are appraised but the one who played it safe, he’s called wicked and lazy because doing nothing with what Yah gave. You is not safe. It’s wasteful similarly many people are waiting for a perfect plan or ideal conditions before they act, but what if acting in faith men simply using what’s already in your hands, what if alignment isn’t about having all the answers, but having the courage to start moving in the direction of Yah’s voice!productivity with purpose productivity doesn’t begin with action. It begins with clarity. You must first know your way before you chase your what when you’re not sure of your purpose. It’s easy to say yes to everything and produce very little but once your purpose is clear your priorities become sharper and your energy becomes focused. That’s when fruit starts showing up not just effort but results furthermore productivity is not something you chase alone. It’s a partnership with the Holy Spirit. That means you can ask Yah what would you help me focus on today? Where should I invest my time, my energy, my gifts because when you’re aligned with his plan, even your small steps carries supernatural impact you may feel like what you have is too small to matter, but remember Yah doesn’t ask you to multiply the talent on your own. He simply asks you to invest it. Take the step. Make the call. Write the plan. Send the email whatever your version of movement looks like like do it as if it’s going to work out because if Yah gave it to you, it already has purpose inside of it. The bottom line fruitfulness follows faithfulness when you’re faithful with what Yah has placed in your hand, he will multiply in ways you never imagined just like in Matthew chapter 25 versus 14 to 30 the reward wasn’t just more money. It was more responsibility and responsibility in the kingdom is a sign of Trust. Yah says you were faithful over a little I’ll make you ruler over much therefore don’t confuse movement with purpose, let your productivity be born out of obedience, not anxiety clarify your purpose. Make a plan take bold action, and trust Yah with the results when your work is align with your way, your impact becomes inevitable. Let’s move forward not with hustle with holy focus, and with that holy focus, something begins to shift Not just in what you do but how you do it you’re no longer working to prove your you’re working from a place of knowing your worth you’re not running around trying to make everything happen. You’re walking in step with the god who already wrote your story. Let me tell you one of the biggest misconceptions is that Yah’s calling should feel easy that if it’s really him doors will fly fly open clients will pour in. The ideas will be seamless, but that’s not alignment. That’s convenience. Alignment means that even in resistance you remain consistent even in delay. You remain obedient because you’re not working for results you’re working from revelation you’re moving because you know Yah told you to and that’s enough. Don’t get me wrong strategy matters systems matter. Yah is not glorified in chaos but strategy without submission is just noise Before you ask Yah to bless your efforts. Ask him if those efforts are even assigned to you productivity without purpose will leave you drained, but when you move in alignment, even your smallest actions carry eternal weight it might look like waking up early to write the book. No one‘s asked for yet it might look like serving faithfully in a job that doesn’t fully reflect your dream. It might look like launching the business, not knowing where the first sale will come from But every act of obedience plant succeed, and as it says in Galatians chapter 6 verse nine, let us not grow weary in well doing for induce season we shall reap if we say in other words if you just keep showing up in alignment with Yah’s purpose, the harvest has to come let me say this plainly Yah is not asking you to be perfect he’s asking you to be productive, not by the world of grind and exhaustion, but by the kingdom, standard of obedience, focus and faith It’s not about how much you do it’s about whether what you do reflects what he’s called you to build so what does it look like practically start by clarifying your purpose see him in prayer reflect on what stirs your heart pay attention to the doors. He keeps opening in plan set goals to define actions. Be intentional and act. Here’s a visual to show how you can help build generational wealth don’t bury you because you’re afraid it’s not enough the servant in Matthew chapter 25 verse 25 said I was afraid so I hid your talent and the master didn’t praise his caution. He rebuked it playing it. Safe is not the same as being faithful brand you were never created just to exist You were created to bare fruit. Yahusha said and John chapter 15 verse 16 you did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bare fruit fruit that will last that’s your assignment to be fruitful in your lane in your purpose in your calling to here’s your reminder today. Don’t just work hard work in alignment. Clarify your purpose. Make a plan and take bold. Obedient action act as if everything works out not because you’re delusional but because you’re walking with Yah who works all things together for you, let’s build let’s plant. Let’s Stewart what we’ve been given and let’s do it all knowing He’s with us his for us, and when we align our productivity with his purpose, the results are guarantee now this is how to finish strong you know it’s one thing to start something with excitement. It’s another thing entirely to finish strong. Anybody can start a race when the energy is high in the path looks clear, but it’s what you do in the middle and how you finish that determines the legacy you leave and that’s what I want to talk to you about right now living not just for victory but from it walking like it’s already done because the one who promised it is faithful as we begin to wrap up, let me remind you what Philippians chapter 1 verse six success, being confident of this that he began a good work, and you will carry it on completion until the day of Christ Jesus, that means you didn’t start the good work you responded to it. You didn’t manufacture the call. You answered it, and because Yah started that he is responsible for seeing it through nevertheless, we’ve all been tempted to quit. Maybe you’ve prayed and it feels like Yah is silent. You’ve given your best and nothing‘s moving. You’ve acted in faith aligned your productivity with purpose spoken life over your fears and yet the breakthrough seems miles away, but hear me just because you don’t see it yet. Doesn’t mean it’s not working. Yah does his deepest work in the unseen seeds sprout in darkness before they ever break through the soil in fact, i want you to understand that living from victory doesn’t mean ignoring pain.It means you face it with. Hope you move forward even with tears in your eyes you choose faith when fear feels more convenient. That’s what walking by faith looks like not always feeling brave, but refusing to be defined by fear. let’s be honest quitting is easy but finishing strong that’s where the power is that’s where the reward is because every act of endurance is a declaration Yah I trust you more than I trust what I see additionally, remember what we’ve covered together. We talked about the mindset shift from fear to faith The power of taking action like Noah in Genesis chapter 6 to 9 the discipline that shakes character in Hebrews chapter 12 verse 11 the strength to embrace delay without despair like Joseph and Genesis chapter 37 to 50 the productivity that flows from purpose and the courage to reject fear like Peter learned in Matthew chapter 14 versus 22 to 33 and now we land here homeowner Hold onto Philippians chapter 1 verse six and let it become your battle cry. He began a good work and me will finish it not might not maybe but will as we close. I wanna leave you with a challenge live this week as if the promise is already fulfilled. Speak as if the answer is already his plan is if the opportunity is already on its way worship like the victory has already been one because in Christ it has where you are in your journey at the start in the middle or near the end. Decide today that you will finish strong refuse to let delay become defeat refuse to let fear make decisions for you refuse to shrink just because the road is hard. It’s take a moment now not just to close this message, but to declare a truth over our lives, our families, our futures by the way, thank you that what you start you finish we declare that we are not people who quit we are people who endure we speak life over every dream every gift every purpose you placed within us we choose to live from victory not just for it and we trust that even when we can’t see the way you are making one give us a strength to finish strong Not in our own power but in yours in Jesus name amen like it’s already worked out like promise is on the way strong because the best is not behind you.Its just ahead!!!!!

Reinstating the Governor




A puzzle remains a puzzle until all the parts are in place.




Our entrance into the kingdom of heaven, also called the “new birth,” results in the restoration of our legal authority as rulers on earth. Then, our baptism in the Ruach HaQadesh results in the restoration of our power or ability to carry out that authority.




Understanding these two concepts will enable us to be effective as we live out the culture of the kingdom on earth, for both have to do with the reinstatement of the Governor to his place and role in the lives of human beings.




Let us now take a closer look at these two concepts, comparing the new birth to a well of water, and the baptism in the Ruach to the power of a moving river.




The New Birth:




Reinstating the Authority of the Kingdom




John the disciple recorded these words of Yahusha regarding the restoration of the Governor within humanity: “Whoever. drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.” Water in this context is a symbol of the Ruach HaQadesh. The reality of the new birth is that there is now a continuous reservoir of Yah’s Ruach within us. Picture a spring forever bubbling up with fresh, clean, life-giving water. As we continually drink deeply from this water of the Ruach within us, we will constantly be connected to the life of the kingdom.




Let’s look more closely at how the Governor restores the life of the kingdom to us through the new birth.




Reconnects Human Beings to the Government




When we initially receive the breath of the Ruach HaQadesh the return of the Governor within us we are given what theologian Paul of Tarsus referred to several times in his writings as a “deposit” showing that we now belong to the King and that he gives us an inheritance in his heavenly kingdom:




Now it is Yah who makes both us and you stand firm in Hamachiach. He anointed us, set his seal of ownership on us, and put his Ruach in our hearts as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come.




Now it is Yah who has made us for this very purpose and has given us the Ruach as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come.




And you also were included in Hamachiach when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Ruach HaQadesh, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are Yah’s possession to the praise of his glory.




Restores Human Beings’ Citizenship in Heaven




Whereas, before, we were merely inhabitants of the earth, we have become children of the King and full citizens in the realm. Paul wrote, “Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and aliens, but fellow citizens with Yah’s people and members of Yah’s household.” Our citizenship in heaven has been conferred on us by the King himself, with the full rights and privileges that encompasses.




Reinstates the Kingdom on Earth through Humanity




Because the Governor is resident in the kingdom citizens who live on earth, the kingdom of Yah itself is on earth. This reinstatement first occurred with the King-Son’s coming to live as a human being in the world, and first returned to fallen humanity when Yahusha breathed the Ruach HaQadesh on his disciples. The heavenly government has representatives on earth again through the new birth. The more inhabitants of earth who enter the kingdom of heaven, the more the kingdom influence should be felt in the world.




Restores Inter-Realm Communication and Access to the Unseen World




The new birth restores two-way communication from heaven to earth and earth to heaven. It is what I earlier called inter-realm communication. Humanity had perfect communication with the King-Father in the beginning, but we lost it when we lost the means of that communication, the Governor. With the reestablishment of our relationship with the King, he is now able to have direct access and contact with us, and we are able to have direct access and contact with him. The new birth means that we have admittance to the unseen world in which the King dwells, and even have influence there as we pursue the purposes of the kingdom. This is what Yahusha meant by the following statement, which we noted earlier:




I tell you the truth, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. Again, I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven. For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them.




Restores the Nature of the King within Humanity




This concept is what Yahusha taught to Nicodemus, the Pharisee, who was trying to understand the meaning of the new birth. Yahusha told him, “I tell you the truth, no one can enter the kingdom of Yah unless he is born of water and the Ruach. Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Ruach gives birth to Ruach. You should not be surprised at my saying, ‘You must be born again.’”




This account is the only reference to the term “born again” in the Scriptures, yet the expression has become almost a catchphrase today so that we have lost its meaning. Being born again means that we have received the Governor and have therefore been given a new nature that enables us to be citizens in the territory of the kingdom. We become “imitators of Yah” once more, as Paul wrote: “Be imitators of Yah, therefore, as dearly loved children and live a life of love, just as Hamachiach loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to Yah.” Because we are children of the King, we have his nature in our spiritual “DNA” and can now reflect it in the world.




The Baptism in the Ruach HaQadesh: Reinstating the Power of the Kingdom




The new birth, or conversion, prepares us for heaven for reconnection with the heavenly government and restored relationship with the King. The baptism in the Ruach, on the other hand, prepares us for earth for our restored dominion assignment to make the earth into a replica of heaven. I want to contrast these encounters with the Ruach because they are distinct experiences.




Just before the King-Son returned to the Father in the heavenly government, he told his disciples, “You will receive power when the Ruach HaQadesh comes on you.” The Greek word translated as power here is dunamis, which means “miraculous power.” Remember our earlier discussion about what we call “miracles.” They are merely the manifestation of the influence of the kingdom of heaven on earth. So this power comes directly from another world, the heavenly government, to enable us to exercise authority on behalf of the King in the world.




The book of John records these words of Yahusha: “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink. Whoever believes inme, as the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him.” John added, “By this he meant the Ruach, whom those who believed in him were later to receive. Up to that time the Ruach had not been given, since Yahusha had not yet been glorified.”




The Ruach already dwells within us at conversion. The baptism in the Ruach HaQadesh is our yielding to the King and allowing him to release in power what is already inside us. While the new birth is like a continuous well, the baptism is like a forceful river; it is like waterpower that is harnessed as energy to run equipment, such as in a mill, for the betterment of humanity and its needs.




Let’s look at how the baptism in the Ruach HaQadesh restores to our lives the power we lost at humanity’s rebellion.




Restores the Power of Dominion




While the new birth restores us to the heavenly government, the baptism gives us the ability to carry out the author- ity that the government has given back to us. Remember that power refers to our ability to influence and control circum- stances. This is the power we must have to exercise dominion over the physical earth and the various situations we will encounter in the world.




Restores Humanity’s Ability to Represent the Government




It is one thing to be recommissioned as a representative of the heavenly government, but it’s another to demonstrate proof that you have been sent by that government. The baptism gives you the power to prove the claims of your King. This is where the gifts of the Ruach become important. The context of the gifts is governmental administration on earth. The Governor empowers us to fulfill the assignments given to us by the heavenly government. So the gifts are not some strange supernatural manifestations but very practical endowments.




Yahusha said, “If I drive out demons by the Ruach of Yah, then the kingdom of Yah has come upon you.” He was saying that driving out demons was evidence that the heavenly kingdom had returned to earth. The same is true for all the gifts of the Ruach, whether we are talking about faith, healing, or miracles. The gifts are evidence of the presence, authority, andpower of the government of Yah on earth. This is what Yahusha was referring to when he answered John the Baptist’s questions about whether he was indeed the King-Son who had come to earth to bring back the Governor. The book of Matthew records,




When John heard in prison what Hamachiach was doing, he sent his disciples to ask him, “Are you the one who was to come, or should we expect someone else?” Yahusha replied, “Go back and report to John what you hear and see: The blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosy are cured, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is preached to the poor.”




Yahusha was giving John proof that he had come from the heavenly government and was exercising kingdom dominion in the earth. He referred to everything in terms of the kingdom, and since this was also John’s message, Yahusha knew he would understand his reference.Enables Human Beings to Prove the King’s Claims and




Demonstrate the Kingdom’s Presence




The book of Matthew also records this statement of Yahusha: “And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations.” The word testimony generally refers to speaking as a witness to the truth about a situation. The word in the original Greek in the above statement means “something evidential, i.e. evidence given.” Exercising power through the baptism is a means of presenting the truth to the world about the reality of the kingdom and its purposes.




Gives Human Beings the Ability to Display the Glory of the King and His Kingdom




The power of the baptism enables us to demonstrate both the characteristics and works of the almighty Creator of heaven and earth. The psalmist King David wrote,




The heavens declare the glory of Yah; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they display knowledge. There is not speech or language where their voice is not heard. Their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world.




The glory of Yah as demonstrated in nature transcends language. People of all races and nations and backgrounds see it; it is a continual and articulate testimony to the Creator of the world. In a similar way, the works that kingdom citizens do through the power of the Governor transcend human language and culture. If you were to go to another country where you don’t speak the language, and the Governor were to use you to bring healing to a man who had been paralyzed for years, it wouldn’t matter if he could understand your words; he would understand your action. The word glory refers to the essential nature of something. The man would come to realize that it is the nature of the King to be concerned about his personal needs, and that he has the power to meet them. He would be open to hearing about this King and his kingdom. As Yahusha told his disciples, “Let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.”




Gives Human Beings the Ability to Demonstrate Heavenly Citizenship




In line with this, the power demonstrated through the baptism proves that we are citizens of a heavenly kingdom. It is like a passport; it both identifies us as belonging to the King and gives us credibility in carrying out the work of the kingdom. Just trying to do the works of the kingdom is not enough; you must have the authority to back up your work. This is what the sevens sons of Sceva, written about in the book of Acts, found out the hard way. They noticed Paul driving out demons in the name of Yahusha, so they thought they would try it, too. But they weren’t a recognized authority of the heavenly kingdom:




Seven sons of Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, were doing this [trying to expel demons in Yahusha’ name]. One day the evil spirit answered them, “Yahusha I know, and I know about Paul, but who are you?” Then the man who had the evil spirit jumped on them and overpow- ered them all. He gave them such a beating that they ran out of the house naked and bleeding. When this became known to the Jews and Greeks living in Ephesus, they were all seized with fear, and the name of the Lord Yahusha was held in high honor.




Paul was an authorized citizen of heaven, and his authority in the heavenly kingdom was respected and obeyed by agents of the kingdom of darkness. The power of the heavenly kingdom is never to be used lightly, but only by those authorized by the King through his indwelling Ruach.




Receiving the Governor in Your Life




In coming teachings, I will be discussing more about the power that comes through the baptism in the Ruach HaQadesh. Right now, I would like you to consider how to receive the Governor in your own life, because this first step will reconcile you to the King-Father and enable you to receive the authority of his kingdom.




Reconciliation through the new birth is the best news you could ever hear! It means you can approach the King without fear. Yahusha has paid the penalty for your rebellion and independent Ruach. When Yahusha’ disciple Peter spoke to the crowds who had gathered on the day of Pentecost, and explained to them what was happening, the people asked him what their response should be. He answered, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Yahusha Hamachiach for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Ruach HaQadesh.” Therefore, to receive the new birth, you are to.




First, repent. Change your mind about how you have been living and desire to live by the standards of the heavenly kingdom.




Second, receive the forgiveness provided through Yahusha’ sacrifice. One of the greatest problems of humanity today is a heavy weight of guilt for the wrong things we have done, for the actions we have committed that are contrary to the nature of the King and his kingdom. To forgive means to release from accountability and guilt. So, in order to live in the freedom of the kingdom, you must accept the forgiveness provided for you through Yahusha, and then walk, as Paul wrote, in “newness of life.”




Once you have gone through the above steps, you will receive the gift of the Ruach HaQadesh within you. This is the “deposit” and proof of your entrance into the kingdom. Offer thanks to your King-Father for giving you this priceless gift.




Note that we are also instructed to be baptized in water. Being baptized in water in the name of Yahusha shows that you are submitted to Yahusha’ kingdom school, acknowledges that your allegiance and identification from this time on is to him as your Master Teacher, and demonstrates that you have received full forgiveness for your rebellion.




The new birth means you no longer have to try to figure out life on your own. The King has removed that burden and stress from you. Just as a colony relies on the kingdom to build its roads, supply its water, and so forth, a kingdom citizen has all his needs supplied as he puts the priorities of the King first in his life. This is why Yahusha said,




Do not worry, saying, “What shall we eat?” or “What shall we drink?” or “What shall we wear?” For the pagans [people outside the heavenly kingdom] run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.




This is the kingdom life: seeking the good of the kingdom first and allowing the King to provide for all your needs as you serve him in the authority and power he gives you through the heavenly Governor.

Restoring the Connection




The future of a plant is staying attached to the soil.




The King-Son had promised his disciples concerning the Governor, “He lives with you and will be in you.” He would connect them to the Father through the Ruach. After his resurrection, the work of preparing humanity to receive the Governor was complete. The Ruach of rebellion and independence from the kingdom was broken. Any human being who personally received the sacrifice of Yahusha, applying it to his own life, was now cleansed and qualified to be a residence for the Governor.




The Breath of Yahusha




Yahusha’ life, ministry, death, and resurrection therefore led up to his most important act on earth: the giving of the Governor. Shortly after his resurrection, Yahusha came to the room where his disciples had gathered, and said, “‘As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.’ And with that he breathed on them and said, ‘Receive the Ruach HaQadesh.’”




Note that Yahusha breathed on them. Does that act seem familiar? It was very similar to what the Creator did when he first made Adam a living being: “The Most High Yah formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.” But in this life-giving act, the King-Son specifically explained what this meant. He didn’t just say, “Receive the breath of life.” He said, “Receive the Ruach HaQadesh.”




The breath of life is the Ruach HaQadesh; the Governor is the life of humanity. Without Him, even though our bodies may be physically alive for a limited length of time, we are dead to the kingdom, to the heavenly influence we were created to live in, and to the Creator-King himself.




In other words, when the Creator first breathed into Adam, he was essentially saying, “Receive the Ruach HaQadesh.” Now, Yahusha was saying to his disciples, as the first human beings (besides himself) to be filled with the Ruach, “Receive the Ruach HaQadesh.” In the English language, we don’t use the word ceive as a verb, but the English word receive comes from the Latin re- (again) and capere (to take). When Adam rebelled, he lost the Ruach he had been given. So when Yahusha brought the disciples together after the resurrection, he was saying, in effect, “Humanity, take the Ruach again, as Adam did.” He was giving human beings back what they had lost.




In breathing on his disciples, Yahusha reconnected humanity to the kingdom of heaven. He was literally bringing his disciples into identity with heaven’s government. He was renewing human beings’ standing and authority in the kingdom. They were restored to their original assignment as vice governors of earth. So the disciples of Yahusha were the first human beings after Yahusha to receive the Governor resident within them again.




The return of the Ruach HaQadesh is the most important act of redemption in Yah’s program for humanity. At that moment, the kingdom of Yah returned to earth because the Ruach lived within humanity once more!




Note that, after his resurrection, Yahusha’ message continued to be the kingdom. Luke the physician wrote,




In my former teaching. I talked about all that Yahusha began to do and to teach until the day he was taken up to heaven, after giving instructions through the Ruach HaQadesh to the apostles he had chosen. After his suffering, he showed himself to these men and gave many convincing proofs that he was alive. He appeared to them over a period of forty days and spoke about the kingdom of Yah.




Some people question whether the kingdom of heaven is on earth right now. The answer is absolutely yes. In order to understand why, we have to remember the nature of kingdoms. Wherever the Governor is, the kingdom is present. Wherever the Ruach of the King is, the kingdom is. The Governor is the presence of the absent King. Luke recorded Yahusha’ response when he was asked about this very question:




Once, having been asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of Yah would come, Yahusha replied, “The kingdom of Yah does not come with your careful observation, nor will people say, ‘Here it is,’ or ‘there it is,’ because the kingdom of Yah is within you.”




The kingdom of Yah is within you when the Governor is resident within you. And when the Governor is resident within you, the kingdom of heaven is present on earth. Yahusha told his followers, “I tell you the truth, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the kingdom of Yah come with power.” According to Luke’s account in his second book, Acts, about one hundred twenty disciples were present when the Governor was poured out and fully reinstated on earth.




Waiting for the Fire




Yahusha’ purpose was to reintroduce the government that had been recalled from earth by humanity’s rebellion. After he had completed his mission of providing a way for the inhabitants to be holy again, he returned to the heavenly kingdom. The ascension of Yahusha was evidence of his finished work on earth, indicating that all was in readiness for the Governor’s full return. The gospel of Mark records, “After the Most High Yahusha had spoken to [his disciples], he was taken up into heaven and he sat at the right hand of Yah.” I believe he reported to the Father at this time that everything was in place for the Governor to be poured out on the inhabitants of earth. Yahusha had instructed his disciples about how they would receive this power from the Governor. On various occasions, he made these statements to his disciples:




And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor to be with you forever the Ruach of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you.




The Counselor, the Ruach HaQadesh, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.




I am going to send you what my Father has promised; but stay in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high.




On one occasion, while he was eating with them, he gave them this command: “Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about. For John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Ruach HaQadesh. But you will receive power when the Ruach HaQadesh comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”




Yahusha had already breathed the Ruach on his disciples. They had received the Governor into their lives and were connected to the kingdom. But they still needed to be connected to the kingdom’s power, which the King would soon send them. This is what John meant when he said Yahusha would baptize them with the Ruach HaQadesh and with fire.




After Yahusha returned to the heavenly kingdom, the “fire” would come, and his mission of both power would be fully realized.




In other words, Yahusha was saying, “For the last three-and- a-half years, I have been telling you that the influence of the heavenly government is coming. Every time I talked about the kingdom, I was referring to the Governor’s influence in your lives and on the world. Now, stay here in Jerusalem because you’re about to receive the fullness of the promise my Father made to you.”




Yahusha told them they would be clothed with power from “on high.” This point is vital: we are to receive our power from the heavenly country, from a place outside this world, because this world is controlled by the kingdom of darkness. Again, the King-Son sent the Governor to earth from the throne of the Father, just as a royal governor was sent to a colony from the throne of the king to carry on the work of the sovereign there.




The Ruach HaQadesh Poured Out at Pentecost




After Yahusha ascended to heaven, his disciples, along with over one hundred other followers, met together and awaited the coming of the Governor. His arrival occurred on the day of Pentecost, which means “fiftieth” in Greek. Pentecost was a harvest feast held on the fiftieth day after the Passover feast. Yahusha appeared to his followers over a period of forty days after his resurrection, and they waited ten days from his ascension for the coming of the Ruach. These fifty days bring us exactly to the day of Pentecost. Luke the physician recorded,




When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. All of them were filled with the Ruach HaQadesh and began to speak in other tongues [languages] as the Ruach enabled them.




When Yahusha’ followers were filled with the Ruach HaQadesh, they were given power to speak in the variety of languages spoken by the Hebrew people who had come to Jerusalem, from a number of countries, to celebrate the feast of Pentecost. The heavenly government gave them the ability to communicate the message that the kingdom of Yah had fully come so that people of many nations could hear this momentous news. Their speaking in these languages was an evidence that they were connected to the King and their assignment to bring the kingdom of heaven to earth. As recorded in the book of Mark, Yahusha had previously told his disciples, “And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will. speak in new tongues. ”




Luke reported that the people who heard them said, in essence, “Why are you speaking like this; what is going on with you?” The disciple Peter responded,




Fellow Hebrews and all of you who live in Jerusalem, let me explain this to you; listen carefully to what I say. These men are not drunk, as you suppose. It’s only nine in the morning! No, this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel: “In the last days, Yah says, I will pour out my Ruach on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams. Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Ruach in those days, and they will prophesy.”. Yah has raised this Yahusha [King-Son] to life, and we are all witnesses of the fact. Exalted to the right hand of Yah, he has received from the Father [King-Father] the promised Ruach HaQadesh [Governor] and has poured out what you now see and hear.




Once again, we see the promise of the Father announced; but this time, the news was that the promise was now fulfilled in the return of the Governor. Peter was telling them they were witnessing the influence of the government of heaven through the arrival of the Ruach HaQadesh.




When Yahusha’ disciples received the Ruach HaQadesh, and then were filled by the Ruach when he was poured out at Pentecost, this signaled a seismic change on earth. The way was now open, for all people who received the cleansing Yahusha provided, to receive the presence and power of the Governor. What separates the kingdom of heaven from all other philosophies, belief systems, and religions is that its citizens have within them the Ruach HaQadesh. Religions have doctrines, tenets, and lists of dos and don’ts, but they don’t have the indwelling Ruach.




The Power of Absence




As we saw in the previous teaching, while the Ruach HaQadesh once dwelled only in Yahusha, now He is able to dwell in millions of people throughout the world. He’s back home in the colony so that the whole planet can be filled with the glory of the King. Now that he has been poured out, he can be all over the world at the same time. He lives in people of all races and skin colors. He lives in both men and women. The physical Yahusha had only two hands with which to bless children and break bread for the hungry and relieve the sick. Now, through the Ruach dwelling in the lives of his followers, there are millions of hands doing the work of the kingdom. While Yahusha’ ministry was once limited to the area of Palestine, it can now be in Australia, China, the United States, the Bahamas, and all over the world at the same time. His purpose is to spread the kingdom of Yah on earth through a multitude of people, in a multitude of ways, in all spheres of life.




For example, if the Ruach lives within you, then, when you are at your job, the heavenly government is also present there. He wants you to bring about his influence in your workplace by your kingdom value system, attitude, forgiveness, love, and patience. If anyone asks you, “Why are you so different?” your answer can be the same as Yahusha’: “My kingdom is not of this world.” The King wants you to represent his kingdom in the midst of the kingdom of darkness, so others can be reconciled to the heavenly government, also.




Greater Works on Earth




John recorded this statement by Yahusha, which he made shortly before his death and resurrection: “I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.” How could we do greater works than Yahusha did on earth?




The word greater here has to do with magnitude, not quality. We could never improve on the quality of the works of Yahusha. But when we are aligned with the mind and will of the Father, and his purposes are foremost in our lives, Yahusha promised, “And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father.” The nature of the heavenly government will be spread throughout the colony, and this will bring due honor to the King of both heaven and earth. All who have received his Ruach will collectively multiply his works in the world.




The power of the Governor is that he makes the reality of heaven on earth possible. This is why everybody needs the Ruach HaQadesh. He is the only one who can connect us to the King and, through us, dispel the kingdom of darkness with his kingdom of light. He is the most important person on earth.
