Grand Rising Fiveamprayer Family! Happy Day 6! Happy Preparation Day! Let’s Rest In The Most High Yah! The Word says Be Ye Transformed by the renewing of your mind! As we walk out of a Ruach of fear it’s time for a transformation! The Most High’s Word is just not a collection of ancient texts! It is the very power that can transform your life! When we talk about transformation we’re not talking about surface level changes! We’re talking about a radical shift about the way you think! In the way you see yourself! In the way you interact with the world! The Word of Yah has the power to break through the limitations of your mind and unlock the potential that lies within you! See your thoughts are the foundation of your actions! As a man thinks in his heart so is he! Your life is a reflection of the thoughts you think every day! The problem for many people is that their thoughts are filled with negativity! Limitations and doubt! But what would happen if you allowed Yah’s word to redefine your thinking! What if you began to think with His thoughts! See through His eyes and speak with His Authority! When you fill your mind with Yah’s Word it changes your perspective on everything! It changes the way you see yourself! No longer as a victim, but a victor! It changes the way you see your circumstances! No longer as obstacles, but as opportunities for growth! It changes the way you see your potential, not as something distant! But as something accessible right now! Yah’s Word is transformative! It has the power to radically change your life! But what does it mean for Yah’s Word to transform you! We often hear about transformation, but we must understand that this is not a superficial change! True transformation starts within! It begins in the mind! In the way you think! And how you perceive the world around you! When we look at the scriptures we find that transformation is a consistent theme! Romans 12:2 tells us do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind! This is a call not just to change our behavior, but to renew our thinking! It’s a call to allow Yah to invade our hearts and reshape our thinking! Because here’s the truth the way you think is the way you live your life! If your thoughts are full of fear, anxiety, or doubt they will shape the actions you take and the decisions you make! But when you begin to fill your mind with Yah’s mind it shifts your entire perspective on life! Imagine a person trying to navigate life with broken glasses! Their vision is distorted and they struggle to see clearly and no matter how hard they try their understanding of their surroundings will always be clouded! Similarly when we allow our thoughts to be shaped by the world negativity, fear, and doubt! We are seeing the world through a distorted lens! But Yah’s Word is like a pair of glasses! They help us see clearly! Corrects our vision! It helps understand who we truly are! What our purpose is and how we should approach life! Think about the story of David and Golliath in Samuel 17 here is a young boy facing a giant whom seems undefeatable! The entire army of Israel was paralyzed by fear, but David saw the situation differently! His perspective was shaped by his understanding of Yah’s Word! His promises and his power! When everyone else saw a giant! David saw an opportunity to for Yah to display His greatness! How could David see this, because Yah’s Word had transformed His mind! He had meditated on Yah’s faithfulness and it empowered him to act in Faith! His thoughts were not based on His own limitations, but on the limitless power of Yah! Now let’s bring this into our own lives. How often do we allow fear to run our thoughts! How often do we let the world opinion shape our reality? Yah’s Word tells us in 2 Timothy 1:7 That Yah has not given us a spirit of fear but of power, love, and a sound mind! But how many of us live our daily lives gripped by fear and anxiety? It’s because our minds have not been fully transformed by His Word! When we truly understand and embrace what Yah says about us! About our identity and about our future! We can walk in freedom, courage, and confidence! Here’s a real life analogy! Think about a catepillar transforming into a butterfly. The process is not instant! The caterpillar goes into through a period of complete change within the cocoon! It looks nothing like the creature it was when it first started! But when the transformation is complete it emerges as something entirely new! The same is true for us! When we begin to let Yah’s Word transform our thoughts it may feel like we’re going through a cocoon phase! The old ways of thinking. The negative patterns! The doubts and the fears all of that needs to be stripped away! But as we continue to meditate on Yah’s Word and allow it to penetrate our hearts! The transformation will come and we will emerge as a creation! Empowered to live the life Yah designed for us! What would your life look like if you truly believe what Yah says about you! If you allowed His Word to shake every area of your life! Imagine the possibilities! No longer will you be bound by the limitations of fear and self doubt! You will begin to see yourself as Yah sees you victorious! Capable and filled with purpose! But it all starts with transforming the way you think! So I challenge you today examine your thoughts! What are you meditating on? Are you focusing on the promises of Yah? Or are you allowing the world’s negative narrative to define you! Yah’s Word is alive! It has the power to change your thoughts! Your mind! And your life!! Allow it to transform you from the inside out! And you will never be the same! Your thoughts shape your life!! The Bible tells us in Proverbs 23:7 for as a man thinks in his heart so is he! This is one of the most powerful truths we can understand! The way you think directly influences the way you live! The life that you’re living today is the thoughts that you allowed to dominate your mind! If your thoughts are negative, defeatest it will reflect in your actions, decisions, and ever your relationships! On the other hand when you fill your mind with the truth of Yah’s Word! It has the power to transform everything around you! Think of a farmer planting seeds! Whatever seeds he plants! That’s what he shall reap! If he plants corn he will harvest corn! If he plants tomatoes he will grow! Similarly the thoughts we plant in our minds will produce results in our lives! WOW! If you consistently produce thoughts of failure, defeat, and unworthiness you will begin to live out those realities! But if you plant thoughts of victory, hope, and confidence in Yah’s promises! You will see those qualities manifest in your life!! This concept plays out in Numbers 13 in the Bible when Moses sent the 12 to spy out the land! They all saw the same thing! A land flowing with milk and honey! But also giants! Ten came back with a bad report of giants in the land verse 33 their thoughts of inadequacy shaped the way of how they view themselves and the task ahead, but two spies Joshua and Calbe saw the same giants! Yet their report was filled with confidence! They said if Yah is pleased with us! He will lead us into that land! Numbers 14:8 they see the giants but their thoughts were rooted in FAITH and the promises of Yah!! This is a great contras of spies seeing the same thing but two out of the twelve through the mind and thoughts of Yah!! ALL PRAISES TO THE MOST HIGH!!!

Grand Rising Fiveamprayer family! Happy Day 5! Five is the number of Grace and we are walking in Double Grace. On yesterday The Most High gave us a powerful teaching on Faith! In order for us to continue to stand on our Faith! We must not let Fear creep in! Trust me as Yah is testing us on our Faith! The enemy will try to bring a Ruach of Fear! I want to cover us in a powerful Psalms! Psalms 27! We must be very careful as we walk in the truth. The enemy will throw you a counter attack! Psalms 27 will change your life Faith over Fear! You know every single day you wake up you are presented with a choice. You can choose to walk in fear, anxiety, or uncertainty! Or you can choose to rise up in strength and confidence! Knowing that The Most High is your light and your salvation! Listen to the words of the Psalmist… The Most High is my light and my salvation! Whom shall I fear! The Most High is your light and your salvation! Fear has no place! This simple yet profound truth! Is the foundation of how we are meant to live our lives! We often face darkness in different forms! Whether it’s fear or uncertainty, pain, or the unknown! But what the psalmists is teaching us in this powerful declaration! That when The Most High is your light! Darkness cannot prevail! There is no room for fear when you are walking in the light of Yah’s presence! But too often we forget this and allow fear to creep in! Imagine for a moment a room without lights! It’s filled with shadows and every corner holds uncertainty! If you move around you feel hesitant, because you don’t know what’s ahead! It’s easy to trip, to stumble, to feel lost in that darkness, but now imagine the light being switched on! The room is illuminated you can see everything clearly and all of a sudden your steps are confident, secure, and sure! This is exactly what happens when Yah is your light! He brings clarity to confusion! Peace to turmoil and certainly to the unknown! Psalms 27 doesn’t just tell us that Yah is our light! It also says that He is our salvation! Salvation speaks of deliverance and rescue! It speaks of Yah pulling us out of danger, of bringing us into a place of security, peace and victory! When The Most High is your salvation you’re not bound by fear! Because you know no matter what comes against you! He is the one that saves you! Think about a time in your life when you were in a difficult situation! You felt trapped, uncertain, or overwhelmed! Maybe it was a financial struggle! A health challenge or relational issue that seemed in mountable and in that moment did you feel that you could make it out on your own or did you realize that on your own it would be impossible! This is where the concept of Yah being your salvation comes into play! Salvation is not just about an eternal promise! It about a present reality where Yah delivers you from the circumstances you face! When you acknowledge that Yah is your light and salvation it changes everything! No longer to you look at challenges through the lens of fear! BUT RATHER THROUGH THE LENS OF FAITH! Fear tells you that you won’t make it! That you’re too weak! Too insufficient! Too small in comparison to the problems at hand, but Faith tells you that your Yah is bigger than anything you face! That His light will guide you through any darkness! And His salvation will keep you from harm! We must ask ourselves why do we allow fear to take over! When we have the greatest source of light and salvation right in front of us! Why do we sometimes let our circumstances dictate how we feel? Instead of letting Yah truth define our reality! Fear thrives in darkness! It grows in the absence of wisdom and knowledge! But light dispels fear! When the light of Yah’s word shines in our hearts it reveals the truth about who we are and why’d we are! The key to understanding that fear is a choice! You have the power to choose whether you will walk in fear or in the light of Yah’s truth! It’s not always easy especially when the storms of life is raging around you, but the more you immerse yourself in His Word! The more you spend time in His presence! The more you begin to see clearly! And when you see clearly fears loses its grip on you! Imagine stepping into a situation where fear would usually take over and instead of shrinking back you stand tall, confident, and unshaken! You walk in the moment with boldness knowing that Yah is with you! You know no matter how dark the situation may get! His light will illuminate away forward! Yah’s light doesn’t just expose what’s around you! It also reveals what’s within you! When He shines His light in your heart, He shows your true potential, your purpose and your identity in Him! The darkness may tell you you’re insignificant! That you have no power! That you’re not worthy! But Yah’s light reveals your true worth! Your purpose and your destiny! The next time fear times to take hold on you! Remember this The Most High is your light and salvation!! Fear cannot stand where Yah light is shinning! So let His light guide you! His salvation protect you! And walk confidently in the victory He has already secured for you! When you do you will find out that fear has no place in your life! When you walk in His light it will destroy Fear! You don’t have to fear the challenges of today! You don’t have to fear the unknown! The Most High is your light and salvation that makes the difference! Battles reveal the strength in you! Not to defeat you! When we think of Battles we often think of pictures of struggles that are meant to break us! Overwhelm us or make us defeated , but in reality every battle you face is not meant to destroy you! Instead it’s a divine opportunity for you to develop your untapped strength, purpose, and resilience that Yah has already placed in you! Yah never waste a battle! Every struggle, obstacle, challenge, setback was an invitation to see how strong you really are when you stand in His power! Think of a blacksmith that forces metal! The metal is hammered under extreme pressure! On the surface it looks like the metal is being destroyed! It bends! It twists! And it changes! But what is really happening is that the blacksmith is shaping the metal into something stronger! Something more valuable! The same is true for you! The battles you face are not meant to destroy you! But to mold and refine you into something stronger! Faith over Fear! Yah will no longer have us ignorant of HaSatan devises!! ALL PRAISES TO THE MOST HIGH YAH!!!

Grand Rising Fiveamprayer Family! Happy Day 4! We have a fourth man in the fire with us! I was searching for a Word after yesterday’s Word! Be Still And Know That I AM YAH! I just kept hearing Queen Mary in my Ruach! Along with Queen Stephane and Queen Evelyn! The Ruach begin to speak to me on FAITH! This is not your normal teaching on Faith! I’m talking about Kingdom Faith! I want to talk about a topic that every citizen will face! The Testing of Our Faith! See faith isn’t just something we say we have, no faith is something that must be proven, refined, and purified! Like gold in a fire our faith must go through trials tested and unshakable! The Bible tells us in James 1:3-4 because you know the testing of your faith produces perseverance! Let perseverance finish its work! So that you may be mature and complete not lacking nothing! This scripture reminds us that Yah is not testing our faith to break us, but to build us up! So that we will lack nothing in our spiritual journey! Let me share with you seven signs that Yah maybe testing your faith! Have you ever been in a place that you’re on the cusps of something great! You prayed! You believed! You did everything you were supposed to do! But still nothing happened! That promotion you worked so hard for didn’t come through! The prayer you’ve been lifting up faithfully seem unanswered! The dream you see as far as way as ever and in that moment the frustration, confusion, and even discouragement can creep in! You start to ask questions Yah? Yah where are you? Why is this taking so long? Did I do something wrong! But here’s something crucial we need to understand about Yah’s timing! Delays are not denial! Delays in the divine plans are not meant to discourage or defeat you, but rather they are strategic test of your faith! The delays we experience is often a part of Yah’s greater process! A process that not only test us, but also refine us! Delays allows us to see where our true trust lies! Will we trust in Yah even when things don’t happen! According to our timeline or will we give up, because the journey is longer than expected! Yah’s timing is always perfect even when it doesn’t align with our own! We are often impatient and in our world of instant gratification! We want immediate results! We want our prayers answered now! Our promotions given now! Our dreams fulfilled now! But Yah in His wisdom sees far beyond the present moment! He sees what’s ahead! He knows the exact time you are ready for the blessing and more importantly when the blessing is ready for you! See it’s not us just being prepared for what we’ve asking for, but sometimes the circumstances around us are not lined up with Yah’s perfect plan! Take the story of Joseph which we all know very well! Joseph could have questioned Yah! Saying you showed me a dream! I don’t understand what’s going on? Even in those moments of delays his faith didn’t wavier! He continued to trust in Yah’s plan even when the dream didn’t look like it would happen! Eventually everything Yah promised was done in His perfect timing! The delays didn’t mean Ysh had forgotten him! In fact it was part of the process! Preparing Joseph for the great responsibility for the blessing ahead of him! The truth is there’s always purpose in the waiting! Yah’s uses these delays to teach us valuable lessons to grow our character! To increase our faith and to strengthen our trust in Him! Think about it this way if everything happens according to our desired timeline we would never develop patience, perseverance or the ability to depend completely on Yah! Delays push us to a deeper place of faith! Where we are not trusting in the outcome, but in Yah Himself! This is where real faith is birthed! Not in the fulfillment of promises, but in the waiting for them! Yah is asking will you trust me even when the timing isn’t what you thought it would be! This question challenges us to examine our hearts! It’s easy to trust Yah when everything is going smoothly and when the answers to our prayers come quickly and when the path to our dreams is clear, but true faith is tested when we face unexpected delays! It’s in the moments when we don’t understand what’s happening! We can’t see the outcome! That Yah ask us to trust His timing over our own! Will we trust that His plan is greater even when we can’t see the full picture! Will we remain faithful even when we feel like nothing is happening! When we look at women and men in the Bible delays played a big part in their journey! Think about Abraham! He waited 25 years! All these examples teaches us delays are preparing us for something greater! It’s in the waiting Yah builds our faith strengthens our trust and align our hearts with His purpose! The delays you face are not to discourage you, but to develop you! Every moment of waiting is Yah working behind the scenes and rearranging the pieces in ways we cannot see them! He is preparing the circumstances and He is preparing you! When the appointed time come everything will fall into place! You will find out that the waiting wasn’t a waste of time! So when you find yourself waiting! Remember Yah is testing your FAITH! Let’s talk about another way Yah test our FAITH! Silence from Yah! There are seasons when we cry out to Yah seeking His direction and guidance and it’s seems like the heavens are quiet! Be still and KNOW!! It is if like our prayers are bouncing off the ceiling and returning to us unanswered! This silence can be unsettling even disheartening! We’ve been taught that Yah is always near and He speaks to His people, but what happens when you hear nothing! What happens when it feels like Yah is distant or absent! In these moments many of us are tempted to feel abandoned! We begin to question whether Yah is still with us. Have He forgotten me! Why isn’t He answering? Is He angry with me! These are the thoughts that can flood our minds! But here’s the truth Yah’s silence is not His absent! Just because we can’t hear him doesn’t mean He isn’t there and it doesn’t mean He isn’t working! In fact sometimes Yah’s silence is the greatest test of our faith! When Yah is silent it often reveals where our faith really stands! Are we trusting in His voice? Are we trusting in His character? See it’s easy to trust Yah when we’re constantly hearing from Him! When he’s giving us clear instructions and immediate answers! But the real test comes when He seem quiet! In those silent seasons Yah is watching to see if we will still hold on to His promises. If we will still walk by faith and not by sight. We have to trust the test like Job! Yah didn’t answer Him! Yah was very quiet for a long time! Job said though He slay me! Yet will I trust Him! That’s silent FAITH!! Yah silence is not meant to frustrate us! It strips away our feelings on signs and external affirmations! It forces us to relay on the Word of Yah! On His promises that never change even when we can’t hear His voice! When Yah is silent He asking You will you trust what I already spoken! Will you trust the last word I gave you! Sometimes the silence is a test to see if you will continue to move forward in faith even when we don’t have new instructions. It’s important to remember that even in His silence Yah is speaking through His Word! The Bible is full of promises and Yah’s declarations! When you can’t hear His voice you can always return to His Word! His promises stand forever!! ALL PRAISES TO THE MOST HIGH YAH!!!!

Grand Rising Fiveamprayer family! Happy Day 3! Three is the number of divine intervention! Today I want to talk about something simple yet profound! Committing your day to Yah! It may sound like an act of just setting aside a few minutes in prayer or reflection, but it’s so much deeper than that! To commit your day to Yah! Is to align your life with His purpose! To acknowledge His sovereignty! And to trust Him to guide you every single step of the way! Imagine this for a moment! Everyday you wake up and begin your routine, but what it the first thought you had wasn’t about the challenges ahead or the things you need to get done, but about Yah! What if your first action wasn’t checking your phone, but checking in with your creator! Committing your day to Yah is not just a fleeting moment! It’s a powerful choice. That determines the course of everything that follows! When you commit your day to Yah! You’re saying Yah I commit my plans to You! Lead me! Guide me! And direct my steps today! This is where the power lies! Not in your own strength, but in the divine guidance you receive! Yah has a purpose for us each and every single day and we submit ourselves to Him! We position ourselves to walk in His Will! I want you to understand something crucial! Yah is sovereign! He is the creator and the one who sustains everything around us! When we acknowledge this truth! We remind ourselves that He is the one in control not us! So often we try to manage every detail of our lives! But committing our day to Yah! Means surrendering our plans! Into His capable hands! We trust that His wisdom will lead us to make the right decisions! Handle the tough moments with grace and see opportunities where others see obstacles! Prayer is the vehicle which we connect with Yah and it must be apart of your daily commitment! Before you engage with the world around you! Engage with Yah! Through prayer you receive the strength and wisdom needed to face the day! Your day becomes a reflection of His presence in your life! And it is through prayer that you invite Yah to intervene in every situation you encounter! As you move through your day! Remember you are not living for yourself alone! You are part of a bigger picture a divine Kingdom! Everything you do whether at work, with family or with your community to be seen as an opportunity to further Yah’s purpose! You are an ambassador of His love and truth! Your actions should reflect the Kingdom impacting those around you with the love of Yahusha! I know some of you may be facing challenges today! The temptation is to focus o your fears and worries, but I encourage you commit your day to Yah! Faith not fear trust that He’s in control! He’s the same Yah that brought you through every trial before and He will continue to sustain you today! And as you go through your day remember that Yah’s grace is sufficient! You don’t have to carry everything on your own! There will be moments of struggles, but Yah’s grace will be your strength! Start your day with a heart of gratitude for the grace He gives and you will find yourself equipped to face whatever comes your way! Remember committing your day to Yah is not a one time act, BUT A LIFESTYLE! This is something you must do everyday! Consistently! As you build this habit! You will see the transformation in your life! The more you surrender each day to Yah the more you will grow spiritually and the more you will begin to see His hand in every aspect of your life! So I encourage you today! Commit your day to The Most High! Start today not just in words, but in actions! Invite The Most High into every moment and watch as He leads you through your day with PURPOSE! PEACE! And POWER!! Everyday is a fresh opportunity! A new start! That carries with it endless possibilities! But the true significance of each day is not found in events or tasks! It’s found in the commitment we make at the very beginning! When we commit our day to Yah! We are acknowledging that the 24 hours that are ahead of us are not just random moments to be endured, but moments that hold purpose, divine direction, and opportunity for growth! The importance of daily commitment lies in the fact that each day is a building block in the greater plan Yah has for our lives! Our days don’t exist in isolation! They’re part of bigger picture! A tapestry of events, decisions, and encounters that shape who we are and where we are going! By committing each day to Yah! We set the foundation for everything that follows! It’s like laying the first stone of a structure! You can’t build something strong and lasting without making sure each piece is placed correctly from the start! When we wake up each morning! We are presented with a choice to live the day according our own plans! Or submit ourselves to Yah’s guidance and purposes! The truth is within daily commitment we run the risk of being led by our own whims! Our distractions! And the pressure of the world around us! But when we choose to commit our day to Yah! We are choosing to invite His presence into every situation we face! We are choosing to align our actions, thoughts, and decisions with His Will! ALL PRAISES TO THE MOST HIGH YAH!!

Grand Rising Fiveamprayer Family! Happy Day 2! I come to tell you this morning Something you have been praying for is About to Happen. Remember on Day 6 we walked in Jeremiah 29 I know the plans I have for you! The question to you this morning is ARE YOU READY! There comes a time in your life that heaven opens its door that what you have been waiting for! What you have been praying for! What you have been hoping for! You don’t see it yet, but the shift have already begun! The prayers you whispered in the silence! The tears you wiped, when no one was watching! The burdens that felt to heavy to carry! The Most High has been listening all along! There’s something stirring in the spiritual realm! Something so powerful that it will change the course of your destiny! But Are You Ready For It! Because when The Most High moves He doesn’t just answer prayers! He transforms life! I’m about to tell you why your breakthrough is closer than ever before! When The Most High sets something in motion nothing in the universe can stop it! The winds may rise! The storms may rage! And obstacles may stand in your way, but if The Most High has decreed a thing! It will come to pass! The enemy has tried to convince you, that your prayers are in vain! That your waiting is pointless! That heaven has forgotten you! But let me tell you something faith is not measured by how long you wait! But how much you trust the one who you’re waiting on! See we serve a Most High that operates outside of time! He is not define by deadlines nor is He restricted by human schedules! What may seem like a delay is often divine preparation! The Most High doesn’t just want to give you what you asked for! He wants to make sure you’re in the right position to receive it!! Because a blessing given at the wrong time can feel like a curse! The Israelites prayed for bondage from Egypt, but before they went to the promised land! They were taken through the wilderness! Not because The Most High was punishing them! He was preparing them! Their minds had been conditioned for slavery and The Most High needed to transform them into warriors! And that is where some of you are at right now! You’re standing in the wilderness questioning why The Most High hasn’t answered yet! You’re wondering if He even heard you! But what if I told you The Most High has already released the answer! What if I told you that everything you’ve prayed for has already been set in motion! But The Most High is waiting for you to be able to handle it! Some of you are praying for opportunities but The Most High is teaching you discipline! So you don’t waste them when they come! Some of you are praying for financial blessings, but The Most High is refining your character, so money doesn’t control you! Some of you are asking for relationships to be restored, but The Most High is working on your heart so when reconciliation happens it’s build on the right foundation! The Most High doesn’t just gives He PREPARES!! That why when you pray! You must also posture yourself for what is coming! Because when The Most High moves! He moves SUDDENLY! One moment Joseph was in prison! The next moment He was standing in front of Pharoah! One moment Esther was an ophan the next a Queen! One moment David was a shepherd the next anointed as King! The Most High doesn’t mind in small measures! He moves in ways that we cannot comprehend or understand! This is why you cannot afford to lose faith now! The enemy know that you are on the verge of breakthrough and he’s trying to make you give up right before it happens! This is why the attacks have intensified! The doubts have been coming into your minds! He’s making it seems like things are falling apart, but listen to me! The closer you get to what The Most have for you! The stronger the battle will become because the enemy is terrified of what happens when you step into the fullness of what The Most High has promised! But here’s the good news HaSatan does not have the final say over your life! No setback! No detours! No obstacles can override the will of The Most High! If Yah spoke it I! It will happen! The question is will you remain faithful in the waiting!!

Will you keep pushing forward when everything in you wants to give up! Because right now at this very moment your breakthrough is closer than you think! The spiritual shift is taking place! What once was blocked is now opened! The windows of heaven is opened! Your delay is now being released! What was once out of reach is now be handed you, but Yah is asking you to remain steadfast! To stand stern in Faith! To keep declaring His promises even when you don’t see them yet! Because faith is not about seeing! Remember it’s about believing! Do you remember the story of Elijah when there had been a drought in the land for three years and Yah told him rain was coming! Just like He’s telling us now the windows of heaven is open! Elijah didn’t see a storm! He didn’t see storm clouds forming! All he saw was a tiny cloud no bigger than a man’s hand! But Elijah didn’t wait for the storm to believe in the rain! He knew that only a small sign was proof that Yah was moving!! Some of you are waiting for Yah to show you the full picture before you will believe! You’re waiting for every problem to disappear! For every sign to be clear, but faith doesn’t work like that! Faith says Yah I trust you even when I can’t see how this is going to work out! I trust you even when the evidence is small! I trust you because you have never failed me before and you won’t stop now! Right now the heavens are opening over you! Right now things are moving in your favor! Right now the prayers you thought was unanswered are now being answered! But you must get ready, because when the answer comes you won’t have time to prepare! You must be in position now! You must be spiritually aligned now! You must be ready to step into what Yah has already set in motion! They are people who will not understand the season that you are in! They will try to convince you nothing is happening! They will try to plant doubt in your heart! They will try to keep you stuck in the past! When Yah is calling you into the future! But this is not the time to listen to voices of discouragement! This is the time to hold on what Yah has spoken! This is the time to walk by faith and not by sight! I don’t know who I am speaking to this morning, but you are on the break of a supernatural breakthrough! You are about to walk into the impossible! The struggles have been hard! The nights have been dark! But the dawn is here! Breakthroughs are happening! The promise is being fulfilled! Yah is about to shock you with how fast He turn things around. But I must ask you again? ARE YOU READY!! Are you ready to step into what you’ve been praying for? Are you ready to move when Yah says move? Because when the flood gates open! When the windows are wide! You won’t have time to second guess. You must walk boldly towards what Yah has for you! This is not the time to shrink back! This is not the time to doubt! Because what Yah had planned for you is bigger than you have imagined! What He is above to release will exceed every expectation! What He is about to do in your life will bring Him glory like you have never experienced in your life! But He is looking for those who will say Yah I am ready for the open windows of heaven! Rain on all the seeds which is your word that I have planted in good soil! I’m ready to walk in Your purpose and WILL! No matter what happens I will keep praying! No matter what obstacles I will keep moving forward! Something is shifting! Something you’ve been praying for is happening! Keep believing! Keep standing! Because Yah is not finished yet! The very thing you’ve been praying for! The breakthrough that you need is now! You may not see it, but it’s done in the spiritual realm! The foundation is laid, but here comes the most important part! Your faith must not be shaken! Because the moment before the windows are open! The hardest the enemy will work to make you walk away! The moment before the manifestation is when doubt start speak the loudest! This is where people give up they pray, stand, trust and believe! But when the wait becomes too long they question if they heard from Yah at all! But let me remind you! Yah is not a man that He should lie! He does not make empty promises! If He said it He will do it. If He declared it! It will manifest in your life! ALL PRAISES TO THE MOST HIGH YAH!!

New Year’s: The Keys To Maximizing And Redeeming The Time

Ecclesiastes chapter 3








Today we are walking in: New Year’s: The Keys To Maximizing And Redeeming The Time








Habakkuk 1:11




Then shall his mind change H2015, and he shall pass over, and offend, imputing this his power unto his god.










CHANGE






















Today we look to the word- CHANGE- H2015- haphak- a primitive root; to turn about or over; by implication, to change, overturn, return, pervert:—become, change, come, be converted, give, make (a bed), overthrow overturn), perverse, retire, tumble, turn (again, aside, back, to the contrary, every way).

Leviticus 27:10




He shall not alter it, nor change H2015 it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good: and if he shall at all change H2015 beast for beast, then it and the exchange thereof shall be holy.







Leviticus 27:33




He shall not search whether it be good or bad, neither shall he change H2015 it: and if he change H2015 it at all, then both it and the change H2015 thereof shall be holy; it shall not be redeemed.

Proverbs 24:21




My son, fear thou the LORD and the king: and meddle not with them that are given to change H2015:
















The most common gift that Yah ever gave any human is time. The word common includes all humans on Earth. The only thing that we are given that is common to everyone is time. All of us have different heights, weights, colours of pigmentation, economic status, families, ethnic backgrounds and cultures. All humans share the same common commodity which is time. Time plays a very important role. Because what you are, and what you become depend on how you use your time. Time works for everyone. The billionaire and the beggar both have 24 hours every day. The old and the young, the black and the white, the Indian and the Asian, are all given the same amount of time every day.

Time cannot be stopped but humans can control it. You cannot stop a day. You cannot stop an hour. Time has no respect for you. But you can control how it will be used. This means that even though time is unstoppable, it is controllable. And what you do with it determines who you become. Time is life and life is time.

And every time a year passes, you are measuring time. Because a year is the passing of time in our cultures. And an opportunity to redefine your priorities is why new year’s come. Firstly, a new year is an opportunity to refine your purpose. Secondly, a new year is an opportunity to redefine your life's vision. To see if you are still on course, or if you need to adjust. Thirdly, a new year is an opportunity to re-establish worthwhile goals. The term "worthwhile" is because some of our goals may not be worth pursuing anymore. Fourthly, a new year is an opportunity for you to bury the past and move into a new future.

The word “New” on New Year's Day means that there was an old one somewhere. In other words, time can be a blessing or a curse. Depending on how you manage it.

The truth about time is time is life. We measure life in terms of time. We define life by time. Life is measured by time because life is determined by what we do with time. Life is lived out in time. Life is qualified by time. Life is also the passing of time. What have you become is dependent on how you use time. Life is also stopped by time. When you die, time stops. When you die, you move out of time into what is called eternity. In essence, death is life leaving time. Time is temporary, but life is eternal. We were put in time to live a portion of life.

What is time? Time is an interruption in eternity. Time is also defined as a small measure of eternity. Time is a piece of eternity. Time is a slice of forever with a beginning and an end. Time is the limited period during which an action or a process exists or takes place. In other words, time is a measure of space. Time itself has its own power.

Ecclesiastes 3:10-11 have seen the burden Yah has laid on the human race. I have seen the burden Yah has laid on the human race. 11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet[a] no one can fathom what Yah has done from beginning to end.

The word beautiful in the above verse is the Hebrew word that means mature. Which means that Yah matures everything in its time. So, there's a time for maturity. In other words, Yah created time, but he doesn't live in it. Therefore, when Yah speaks to us, we have to be careful. Yah lives forever, but he placed us in time. He designed time to make life easier for us. Yah created time to give a piece of eternity a measure. Yah created time for us to live in it so that we could experience relief from eternity. If you live in eternity, it's a tough place to live. Because if you make a mistake in eternity, it's an eternal mistake so time is a relief.

We see in Genesis 1:14 that Yah created time. Genesis 1:14 Yah said, “Let there be lights in the vault of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs and seasons, and days and years. So, Yah created time by literally designing the universe to keep time. Many scientists interpret the universe as a big clock, and they say that someone must have wound it up. They try to explain that there must have been a creator because the universe is running with such precision that the planets not only revolve around stars, but they don't clash with each other. Someone seemed to have set this in motion. And Yah has designed all of that so that they can be measured for days and years. In other words, Yah says in Genesis 1 verse 18, that this is good.

What's the purpose of time? First of all, time was given to us to take us out of eternity. Secondly, time was given to us to protect us from forever. If you had a pain in your back in eternity, it would be an eternal pain. Time has a beginning and an end. Time is also given to us to measure the existence of life, to define life, and to measure the quality of life. Time is given to us to account for our lives, and to define the distance between our beginning and our end. Time is given to us to live life in doses. Time is given to us to measure the purpose of our life. Why do we live?

But time has some limitations. This verse is worth remembering if you're still breathing. Job 14:5-6 A person’s days are determined; you have decreed the number of his months and have set limits he cannot exceed. 6 So look away from him and let him alone, till he has put in his time like a hired laborer. In summary, Yah is saying, look, when I brought you on this earth, I hired you to do something, and I appointed a specific period for you to do it in, and you can't exceed that. Yah has set limits that you cannot exceed.

Time is determined. Psalm 39:4 “Show me, Most High, my life’s end and the number of my days; let me know how fleeting my life is.

Most High, make me know mine end and the measure of my days. Most High, let me know my destiny. Let me know what I'm supposed to do with my life. Psalm 90:12 Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.In other words, let me know how long and how much I have to do, so I can use my days effectively. Ecclesiastes 8:6 For there is a proper time and procedure for every matter, though a person may be weighed down by misery. This is a deep verse. In other words, there's a proper way and time to do everything. Time is so powerful in the hand of Yah. Time is measured in seconds. We are amazed sometimes at how fast time can leave us. And we measure time in minutes and hours and days and decades and centuries. But time measures life also in yesterday, today, and tomorrow. Whatever happened in the past separates you from the future. Time measures life in the past, present, and future. Time separates your past from your present and your future. Time measures life in seasons: winter, summer, autumn, and spring. Time protects us from living in a permanent condition. Time can resolve our problems – our hurts, our grief and our pains. With time things change. Time gives you the time to change relationships. Time can sort things out. Time changes everything. Nothing is permanent in time.

Time is the only commodity on earth given equally to every human being. Time is therefore the only commodity every human possesses. We don't possess the same amount of money. We possess the same amount of time. So, the key to life is what you become in life is determined by how you use the time you have. And that's why we use terms like spending time. Time is a currency. Every human has the same amount every day. And time, like currency, must be spent. And here's the problem. Time is used to buy life. So, whatever you are, you spend your time buying it. Even if you're broke, you use your time to become broke. If you're fat that means you use your time eating the wrong thing. You use your time not jogging. Time determines everything. If your marriage is under stress, it's because you haven't used your time in your marriage properly. Time is so powerful that whatever you invest your time in you become. Treat time just like you treat money. Time can be stolen. Time can be misplaced. Time can be shortened. Time can be wasted. Time can be misused. Time can be abused. Time can be put to good use. Time can also be lost. You can lose it. Just like money. Time can be squandered just like money. How you spend it didn't take you closer to your goals, didn't take you closer to your vision, didn't accomplish the things you wanted, and you spent it and squandered it on stuff that didn't count. Time is more important than money. That's why the businessman says time is money. Time can be depreciated just like money. Time can also be devalued. Every hour is important. What are you spending your time on? You can reduce the value of your life by the things you spend your time with, who you spend your time with, where you spend your time all day. The time can also be revalued. You can actually increase the value of your time by choosing what you do with it.

You can become a victim of time. You can never stop time. You can also never control it. You can't resist it. You can't compromise with time. Time doesn't adjust for you or anything. You can never buy time. You can't buy time. You can never slow time down. You can never speed up time. Until then, you are stuck in time. You are a victim of time. And therefore, all you have to do to make time for your friend is to manage it. You can measure time in life. Psalm 90:10 Our days may come to seventy years, or eighty, if our strength endures; yet the best of them are but trouble and sorrow, for they quickly pass, and we fly away. The average age of a human, Yah says, would be between 70 and 80.

What do you do with time? First, you can manage it. Secondly, you can use it. Thirdly, you can invest it. Fourthly, you can convert it. In other words, you can use time to develop build and construct things. You can turn your life into value by the way you use your time. You can use time to fulfill your divine purpose. Time itself is given to you as a gift from Yah. Ephesians 5: 14-16 says, This is why it is said: “Wake up, sleeper, rise from the dead, and Hamachiach will shine on you.” 15 Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, 16 making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Redeeming the time means maximizing every minute of your life. You are a product of how you use your time. Your life is how you use your time. Look at the next verse, he says what? Therefore, be not foolish, but understand what the will of Yah is. And be not what? Drunken with wine, where there is, there's riot, and be filled with the Holy Spirit, he says. Redeeming the time. Using it properly. Making sure that you invest it in a way that benefits you.

The word "deem" actually means to own something. To redeem something means to own it again. So when the Bible says redeem time, it means you had some time that you messed up. You lost it. You threw it away. He says now spend the next year making up for what you lost. That might mean you may just stay a little later. Cut off some friendships. Shut down some clubs you were part of. Change relationships with some of these organizations that are not taking you anywhere. Take an evening class. To redeem means that you can't have a normal life anymore. Cause you lost some time you got to make up for it. To redeem time means you have to work a little harder. To redeem time means that you have to be more focused and more disciplined. To redeem time means that you may need to throw off some things that were so nice and pleasurable to do some important things. Redeem the time. It means to recontrol time. It means to repossess and reclaim time. It means to fulfill the pledge that Yah promised you to fulfill. To redeem time means to convert time now into value. To redeem time means to fulfill or pay an outstanding debt. To redeem means to pay the debt that you owe. Not just to Yah, but to your life. If you wasted five years, you have a debt to yourself. You have to pay yourself back the time you lost. Everybody trying to get your time. And half of them don't deserve it. You have to assess who you will give your time to. People will abuse your time. To take ownership and control of your time. That's what it means to redeem time. To convert into an opportunity to fulfill your purpose. That's how you redeem time. In other words, you design your days to create value in your life. And the way you control time is by planning. You have to plan your day, or your day will be planned by somebody else. Time, like all commodities, must be managed. Time must be protected. It must have a focus. It must have a purpose. It must have a vision. It must be measurable in results.

Here's how to redeem your time:
Document a plan. Put a plan for what you want to accomplish in the year you are in. Put it on paper.
Establish your priorities based on that plan.
Pursue your passion only. Identify your passion and go after it, because so many people will distract you. You better stay with your passion. Not every invitation is a blessing. Not every opportunity is a blessing. The devil's greatest weapon to a disciplined woman and man is distraction, not sin. The devil knows you're too smart to commit sin. So, he does something more dangerous. He distracts you to do things that you are not supposed to be doing, even though they're good. Matter of fact, the enemy of doing the right is doing a good thing. And not everything good is right.
Protect your plans and your priorities. You will be attacked by so many opportunities. You must protect your time and your priorities from other people's interests.
Identify your value. In other words, identify what's valuable to you. If you don't do that, you're going to waste time.
Make decisions based on your destiny. If you know where you want to go, then design your decisions accordingly.
Inventory your associations. Spend the first day of this new year just making a list of all the people you're associated with, all the organizations you're associated with, all the places you're associated with, and see how many of them are taking you to your vision. You'll be shocked who is wasting your time.
Review your investments. Question, what are you investing your time in?

If you want to redeem your time, stop trying to make everybody happy. You cannot make everybody happy. Half of the folks smiling at you don't like you. Get over it. And the rest of them, they only putting up with you. Stop trying to get everybody's approval. Everyone will not like what you do. They don't even want to do what you do. Forget the past, design and pursue the future. Become an architect of your life. Anything that happens should be in association with where you want to go in life. You have been wasting enough time. It's over. Do something. Get back on track. Control your future by making a plan. Forget about what you didn't accomplish.

He brought me out into a spacious place; He rescued me because He delighted in me.”

2 Samuel 22:20 (NIV)




As we enter the new Hebrew year on Yah's prophetic calendar, the Most High has placed a few powerful words on my heart to speak over your life—words that will guide you into a season of promise and expansion. The phrase the Most High is highlighting for this new year is "spacious place."

Between March 2nd and 4th, many will begin to sense a powerful shift in the spirit, signaling the start of a new chapter in life.

The Holy Spirit is breathing new life into you! This is a time to step confidently into the fullness of Yah’s plans for your life. Most importantly, it’s time to speak the name of Yahusha with boldness and authority!

The year 5785 will be about stepping into a spacious land, a place where you can breathe deeply, where burdens are lifted, and where there is freedom to move in the fullness of our Father’s plans for your life. The Bible has a ton to say about the spacious place.

Job 36:15-16: “But those who suffer he delivers in their suffering; he speaks to them in their affliction. He is wooing you from the jaws of distress to a spacious place, free from restriction, to the comfort of your table laden with choice food.”

Exodus 3:7-8: The Most High said, “I have indeed seen the misery of my people in Egypt…So I have come down to rescue them from the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land into a good and spacious land, a land flowing with milk and honey.”

Psalm 31:8: “You have not handed me over to the enemy but have set my feet in a spacious place.”

David knew all about the spacious place.

After years of being relentlessly pursued by King Saul and forced to take refuge in caves and strongholds, David finally stepped into the moment Yah had long prepared for him. Though he had been anointed as king, the path to his destiny was anything but smooth—it was marked by trials, uncertainty, and seasons of waiting. Yet, in Yah's perfect timing, there came a moment when the Most High led David into a spacious place of peace and security where the fullness of Yah's promises began to unfold. Why? Because the Most High delights in His children! Isn’t that amazing?!

In 2 Samuel 22:20, David sings, "He brought me out into a spacious place; He rescued me because He delighted in me."

The "spacious land" represents more than just physical territory—it symbolizes a spiritual breakthrough, where the weight of past struggles lifts, and Yah's abundant blessings are poured out. The Hebrew word refers to a broad, open, or wide space. It symbolizes a place of freedom, relief from distress, and liberation from tight, constraining circumstances. It conveys the idea of being set free from oppression or restriction into a space where one can move freely and thrive.

A person evolves from a place of suffering to wholeness.

Psalm 118:5: “When hard pressed, I cried to the Most High; he brought me into a spacious place.”










A WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY

The year 5785 is symbolized by the Hebrew letter "hey" (ה), the fifth letter of the Hebrew alphabet. The shape of the letter resembles an open window or an open space, inviting us to look through and see things from Yah's perspective.

We are being called to return to a spacious and grace-filled relationship with our Heavenly Father, where His love, provision, and purpose flow freely into every area of our lives, bringing both restoration and expansion. I encourage you to literally start looking out the window, seeking the voice of our Father even in creation. He is speaking, and He wants to reveal wisdom and truth through what you see with your eyes.

In 5785, many will begin to see Yah’s plans with greater clarity, experiencing revelation that opens new possibilities for their lives, relationships, and callings.

Yah is shining His light into the areas of your life where there has been confusion, darkness, or misunderstanding, bringing divine revelation to guide and direct you into a future filled with hope. He sees the ways you've been mistreated, and He desires to set you free from every form of bondage, fear, and stronghold. In this season, Yah is going to reveal hidden truths, expose lies, and give you the understanding you need to walk in perfect alignment with His will for your life.

It’s important to remember that we are called to love our enemies, but that doesn’t mean we’re required to accommodate or appease them. When Yah instructs us to separate from someone or something, it’s vital that we follow His direction. Yahusha Himself set clear boundaries, never running after those who walked away but remaining focused on His mission.

Likewise, when Yah leads us into a spacious place, it demands our obedience and trust, even when it's challenging.

As you open your heart to the Holy Spirit’s guidance, you can expect breakthroughs in areas where you once felt stuck. Yah is going to clear the path before you. The fogginess from a past season will be replaced with clarity as King Yahusha brings peace and purpose to your life. You are Yah’s child and He cares about your heart. He is going to show you the way!

1 John 3:1 (NIV)
"See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of Yah! And that is what we are!"













Prepare: You Are Entering A Spacious Land!

“I have come down to rescue them from the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land into a good and spacious land, a land flowing with milk and honey...”

In both the stories of Moses and David, we see a profound journey toward spaciousness—a journey from narrow, confined spaces into wide-open territories, both physically and spiritually. For Moses, the people of Israel were bound in Egypt, enslaved under heavy burdens with little room to move or thrive. But Yah delivered them into a spacious land, a land flowing with milk and honey, one that promised abundance and rest.

In Exodus 3:7-8, the Most High says to Moses, “I have indeed seen the misery of my people in Egypt. I have heard them crying out because of their slave drivers, and I am concerned about their suffering. So I have come down to rescue them from the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land into a good and spacious land, a land flowing with milk and honey...”

This scripture shows Yah’s heart for His people and His desire to lead us out of a place of suffering and into a place of blessing and freedom.

David also experienced moments where he was trapped in tight, constricted situations, running for his life and hiding in caves. Yet in Psalm 18:19, David declares, “He brought me out into a spacious place; He rescued me because He delighted in me.” Yah didn’t leave David in those narrow places of despair; instead, He delivered him into wide-open spaces where he could thrive and fulfill his calling.

Beloved, Yah is calling you forth from the cave at this time. The training and hiding had a purpose, but now it’s time to stand and teach others how to evolve from merely surviving to truly thriving.

As we look to 5785, I believe Yah is inviting you into your own spacious place. This is a place where old limitations fall away, and new opportunities emerge. The Holy Spirit is saying that this year will be marked by divine expansions—spiritually, relationally, and even in your physical circumstances. Just as Yah enlarged the territories for His chosen people, He is expanding the spaces in your life where He wants to dwell, work, and bring you deeper into His purpose.

If you’ve felt like you’ve been in a tight space—emotionally, financially, or spiritually—this is the year to believe in a breakthrough. It’s important to trust in the Most High’s leadership. He is your Commander-In-Chief and your steps are ordered by Him. The spacious place He has for you is one of peace, joy, and abundance. It’s a place where you’ll be able to flourish and experience the fullness of His presence without the weights and restrictions of the past.

The spacious land will also allow you to be the hands and feet of Yahusha as we build His Kingdom together. We are called to love others and preach the gospel to all the earth. Through Yahusha, we are given the strength, wisdom, and courage to accomplish more than we could ever imagine, impacting lives for eternity.










5785: Prophetic Insight

As we step into 5785, it’s significant that the year begins and ends with the number 5.

In the Bible, the number 5 holds deep meaning, symbolizing grace, Yah’s unmerited favor, and divine empowerment. As we enter this new season, we are reminded of Yah’s abundant grace that surrounds us both in the beginning and the end of this journey.

Beyond grace, the number 5 also represents the five-fold ministry outlined in Ephesians 4:11—apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers.

These roles are essential in building up the body of Hamachiach, equipping the saints, and helping the church grow in maturity. In this year of 5785, I believe the Most High is calling His people to step more fully into their specific roles within this ministry. Whether you're called to lead, teach, speak, write, sing, or serve in any capacity, Yah’s grace will empower you to operate effectively in your assignment.

What’s also fascinating about 5785 is the presence of the numbers 7 and 8 at the center.

Seven, the number of completion and perfection, and eight, the number of new beginnings, are pivotal markers this year. The Most High is speaking that this year will be one where the completion of past trials, seasons, and lessons will give birth to new beginnings and the fulfillment of His promises. It’s a transition from a time of refinement into a time of renewal and breakthrough.

In this year, the Holy Spirit is also saying that many will be released from the bondage of past seasons.

Just as Yah heard the cries of the Israelites, He has heard your cries. This is the year He’s not only bringing you out, but He’s also bringing you into a new, wide-open space where you can breathe, grow, and thrive. Expect to see the hand of Yah moving in areas where you’ve felt stuck or pressed down. His grace is bringing expansion, and He is faithful to complete what He has started.

Yahusha loves you more than you can imagine. He is always near, watching over you with the tender care of a loving Father. His love for you knows no limits, and nothing in this world can separate you from it. Yah wants you to walk into every room with the assurance that you are cherished by the King of kings—fully known, fully loved, and completely accepted. You are His precious child, and He takes great delight in you. It’s time to step confidently into your future, knowing you are guided by His hand.

As you move forward, open the window and breathe in the fragrance of this new season. Yah's love and grace are like a fresh wind surrounding you, carrying you into spacious places filled with new opportunities and blessings.

Remember, as Yah’s child, you are also an heir to the throne, called to fulfill His purposes. Romans 8:17 says, “Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of Yah and co-heirs with Hamachiach...” And Ephesians 2:10 reminds us that “we are Yah’s handiwork, created in Hamachiach Yahusha to do good works, which Yah prepared in advance for us to do.”

You are not only loved but chosen, equipped to carry out the good works Yah has destined for you in this season of grace and expansion. Go forth in the mighty name of Yahusha!

Today we are walking in: Keys to Reestablishing Legitimate Authority on the Earth







Keys to Reestablishing Legitimate Authority on the Earth




Promoting Corporate Development through Freedom and Accountability




Imagine that you live in a nation ruled by a harsh dictator. The government of your native country has controlled every aspect of your life for as long as you can remember, and you have now been assigned to a forced labor camp. Your soul is crying out for freedom, and, in desperation, you join with several others who have planned an escape from the camp. After successfully escaping, you arrange to be smuggled out of the country. You travel in a small boat across the ocean for weeks with little food and water in search of a better life in a country that gives rights to its citizens and also defends them. Finally, you reach its shores. Now, all you need is someone in a position of authority in that country to grant permission for you to enter and build a better life. You need legal status to live there.

Unexpectedly, you are greeted on the shores of the new country by your older brother! He had traversed the dangerous seas a few years before you, and he had been in contact with those who were smuggling people out of your native country. Knowing you were coming, he had already made arrangements for you to receive asylum in the new land.

Your brother now lives in a community with members of your extended family whom he also enabled to gain freedom, and who now help him free others, as well. You are overjoyed as you enter your new life in the company of a loving, supportive family.

Welcoming People to a New “Country”

Similarly, people across the world who are living under false authority in its various forms are like citizens of an oppressive nation. Yahusha Hamachiach is their “older Brother” who has gone ahead and prepared the way for them to enter a new country, the kingdom of Yah, which is characterized by peace, order, and freedom, and where every person’s value and significance are recognized. “Those Yah foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers” (Romans 8:29).

When we have gained an understanding of genuine authority and have entered into its freedom, we become a part of our older Brother’s community in the kingdom of Yah on earth and can participate in helping to reestablish legitimate authority in the world. We are responsible for seeking to enable others to enter into a new way of life in which they can be free of the restrictions and abuse of false authority and can exercise their full personal authority in the context of their interactions and interrelationships with others. In this way, we are called to welcome people to a new “country.”

Let us look briefly at the oppressive “nation” that people need to be set free from, and then we will look at twelve keys for helping to release them from false authority.

The Steady Erosion of Authority

The false authority that we experience in the world today is both a long-standing issue—stemming from our first parents’ abandonment of authority—and the result of a slow, steady erosion of authority during the twentieth century.

The principles established by the Creator have been recaptured and implemented in societies, to varying degrees, during periods of human history, and a hundred years ago, people had a much clearer understanding of true authority and a corresponding respect for it.

Nations and cultures were certainly not living according to the Creator’s principles in all aspects of life. There were numerous social ills and injustices in the previous hundred years, as there are today. Authority structures were misused by individuals who operated within them, resulting in forms of oppression and the abuse of human dignity through systems that reduced people to subhuman status, forced people into servitude, and robbed them of their freedom. The twentieth century may have been the bloodiest on record, with its wars, ethnic “cleansing,” and the annihilation of millions by dictators and tyrants.

I stand against any and all misuse of authority that abuses, dehumanizes, and destroys people. The purpose of this book is to help rescue authority from this dark history and from potential future abuses. As I wrote earlier, many people throughout the world have abandoned the concept of authority, partly as a result of these outrages and their consequences. Yet genuine authority is still our only hope for this planet. It therefore needs to be our focus and priority in rebuilding the broken lives and struggling nations of our world.

A Recognition of the Essence of Authority in Former Years

Even with the misuse and abuse of authority in the recent past, there was still among many people in various nations a general understanding and acceptance of the essence of true authority and its supporting structures in society, such as the family, the government, the community, and business. Historically, the established role of authority in these realms was much clearer, and there was therefore more order and harmony. For example, there were certain expectations and boundaries in regard to having children in the context of marriage and an agreement that the marital union should be esteemed and protected. People generally showed more respect for their leaders and coworkers on their jobs. Young people were taught to esteem the elderly, and a value was placed on age and wisdom. There was a respect for sacred institutions. More honor was given to those who contributed their lives to the development of society than to celebrities, those who are often just “famous for being famous.”

Community and governing institutions were also more respected. This respect for civic and public offices was held not only by citizens and constituents, but also by the ones who held the positions. For example, one didn’t hear as much about mayors, teachers, and other leaders getting into moral or ethical trouble, because they honored the trust they had been given by their positions.

Of course, there were exceptions to this general attitude toward authority by people who flaunted and abused their positions and got away with it because they were never caught or it was never made public. But as a general rule, people valued and respected the role of authority in their lives.

Dismissal of Authority in Contemporary Society

As we have seen, in today’s world, there is a general confusion about and dismissal of authority, and that ignorance about authority has led to disordered lives. For instance, fathers, mothers, and children aren’t incorporating the principles of authority into family life. As a result, many parents are abdicating their roles as the senior authority in the family, many husbands and wives are not sure who is responsible for what, and many children do not esteem their parents. Another outcome is that few parameters are taught to the children, so that children themselves are having children, and the offspring of these unauthorized parents are not prepared to pass along any clear concept of what authority looks like.

In the realm of government, scores of citizens have little respect for their national leaders or esteem for their national symbols. Self-serving “politicians,” rather than statesmen, are prevalent. Many politicians pursue positions of authority not to empower others by serving their constituencies but rather to use their power to secure and preserve personal advantages.

In the realm of the church, some religious leaders have allowed their physical passions to overrule their responsibilities to the point where certain priests and preachers have used their authority to abuse, manipulate, and, in some cases, destroy the lives of the parishioners entrusted to their oversight.

In the realm of business, a pursuit of greed and speculation rather than honest enterprise has led some executives and their corporations into shaky or illegal practices that have sometimes caused the downfall of both executives and institutions. Some labor union leaders have also abused their positions of authority and the trust their members have placed in them to bring about just and equitable working conditions; they have used members’ dues for their own agendas while weakening legitimate companies—in some cases, putting them out of business and their members out of their jobs.

A Rise in Individualism

One of the factors contributing to the dismissal and erosion of authority throughout the world is the increasing popularity of the idea of individualism, which is often promoted through the political system of democracy. A pursuit of democracy has captured the minds of many people in nations around the world, and this has led to life-affirming freedoms and benefits for peoples who have long suffered under the oppression of false authority under communism, dictatorships, and colonialism.

While there have been many positive results from the spread of democracy, people’s concept of this political system often focuses on the idea of individualism to the point where they feel they are not answerable to anyone for anything, and that no one can tell them what to do. The abandonment of false authority was necessary, but it seems that many people have abandoned all authority along with it. An overemphasis on individualism can cripple people’s potential by causing them to seek power alone rather than genuine authority. At its extreme, an attitude of individualism ignores the reality that human beings are meant to live in community, in the various forms we have been discussing, and to contribute their strengths and gifts to one another. Significantly, it can also write off the necessity of personal responsibility and the give-and-take of established authority and submission that allows life to operate smoothly and brings order and peace in a nation.

Also contributing to the erosion of authority in our nations are changes in social mores, which have moved away from the Manufacturer’s original design. Again, an attitude of “I can do anything I want, and you can’t tell me what to do” has superseded a basic understanding of the value of living according to the Creator’s principles and laws. The trend today, allegedly in support of people’s individual rights, seems to be a dedication to eradicating foundational authority. Yet, this is the only thing that can renew and preserve our contemporary society.

For example, such a perspective can infringe on family life in a case where, if your thirteen-year-old daughter becomes pregnant, she has a right to withhold this information from you, and you have no authority in her life in this situation. Instead, the state, through the public school she attends, has the authority and influence over her. In this and other ways, parents have lost their authority to other authorities that are operating under false principles. Under such circumstances, do we wonder why society has continued to disintegrate? The question is, what kind of authority will be promoted in society —a false or a genuine one?

Ignorance of true authority is the father of anarchy. A society without authority is no longer a true society because a society is made up of social relationships, and social relationships need the framework of authority to function in a healthy and effective way.

This is why the principles of genuine authority must be clearly communicated to people in all nations. People need to understand the benefits of personal and corporate authority for their own lives, as well as the lives of others. True authority in a society brings a necessary structure, peace, and fruitfulness to life. Rejection of true authority sacrifices people’s purposes and vision, while adherence to authority protects people’s purposes and produces personal vision and the confidence to fulfill it. When everyone understands his purpose and role in light of the Creator’s purposes, this knowledge creates the smooth functioning of social relationships and the exercise of personal authority.

Without Authority...

Without authority, there is no basis for accountability, and people therefore feel insecure because they don’t know what they can expect from others. “Freedom” without law, or responsibility, eventually becomes chaos.

Without true authority....

• life has no order.







• there can be no confidence.

• purpose has no protection.

• there is no effective functioning.

• destiny is abandoned.







• power is wasted.







• energy is abused.







• potential is miscarried.

The authority that has eroded in our world needs to be reestablished. When true authority is put in place, it renews a sense of security, so that people experience less stress in their lives and reduced tensions in their relationships. This is why restoring true authority will promote national and global security, peace, and growth.

The following are keys for reestablishing legitimate authority in the earth:

Key #1: Acknowledge the Crisis of Authority

To restore legitimate authority, we first need to acknowledge that there is a widespread lack of genuine authority in all the basic realms of society—including our families, local and national governments, communites, and businesses—and that this is a critical problem that needs to be addressed.

Reestablishing legitimate authority will not happen if we think that some unnamed “group” or “the government” will fix things for everyone. It begins with each of us, individually, as we rediscover true authority ourselves and then communicate its truths and principles to others.

Key #2: Redefine Authority, Explaining Its True Nature

In communicating what authority is, we have to clearly define it. Authority has lost its meaning for most people, and they often mistake it for oppression or control. That is why I devoted several chapters in this book to defining and explaining the true nature of authority. The term must be reconceptualized and renewed in people’s minds. Authority is not inherently evil or even a necessary evil but rather a means for good.

You can utilize the principles throughout this book, but especially in part one, to help others understand the true definition and purpose of authority. You can also build on the positive aspects of authority that people recognize from everyday life. For instance, when people attend weddings, they usually hear the clergyman or justice of the peace say something like, “By the authority (or powers) vested in me by the state of _________, I now pronounce you husband and wife.” Or, when a university confers academic degrees on those who have completed their educational requirements, the president or academic dean will say something similar to, “By the power vested in me by the Board of Regents of ___________ University, I confer upon you the degree of __________, along with all the rights, privileges, and responsibilities associated with it.”

These are positive and joyful aspects of authority that establish new families and reward personal effort and achievement rather than oppress and constrict. In addition, personal and corporate authority involve the granting and exercising of rights and privileges from a higher authority.

Key #3: Restore the Foundations of Genuine Authority

All authority must be based on the Absolute Authority, the Creator, or else it will fall apart. Self-authorization is not authority; this is the historic mistake of what we have come to know as “humanism,” which promotes the idea that man is his own measure in life. Since true authority is always delegated, it would seem that the greatest culprit to the erosion of authority in this and previous generations is the elevation of human beings as the ultimate authority. Humans, in themselves, are no authority at all. Instead, people need a solid reference for who Yah is, especially as our Creator, and for our dependence on Him. “O Most High, you are our Father. We are the clay, you are the potter; we are all the work of your hand” (Isaiah 64:8).

In our contemporary societies, many people don’t want to accept the idea of absolute authority. Yet, as we saw earlier, the word absolute is defined as “fundamental, ultimate.” Whatever is outside of Yah and His ways is lesser or inferior. Again, true authority must be grounded in an author, and therefore, we must first identify our Author. We must begin with a general acknowledgment of our Creator and of His basic laws as recorded in His Word, the Scriptures.

Yah’s first commandment for His people given through Moses confirmed His absolute authority in their lives: “I am the Most High your Yah, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. You shall have no other Yahs before me” (Exodus 20:2–3). Recognizing and serving Yah as our Creator and Ruler will enable us to rebuild the age-old, sure foundations of society:

The Most High will guide you always; he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail. Your people will rebuild the ancient ruins and will raise up the age-old foundations; you will be called Repairer of Broken Walls, Restorer of Streets with Dwellings. (Isaiah 58:11–12)

The world needs to come back to its senses; we must return to the reality that there are absolutes, which are fundamental, strong, stable, and supportive to both individuals and society as a whole. As we do, we will be called “Repairer of Broken Walls, Restorer of Streets with Dwellings.” Communities will be restored and lives rebuilt.

Key #4: Identify the Laws of the Creator as Our Reference for Authority

The erosion of and disillusionment about authority within our nations can be traced to people’s movement away from the pillars of authority established by the Creator for the effective and successful functioning of His creation. The Author of all legitimate authority revealed Himself within the context of the biblical text, which clearly established the fundamental laws and principles by which all living things, including humanity, are to operate.

Building on key number three, then, after relaying the general foundation of the authority of the Creator in our lives, we need to identify His laws and principles, which are our reference for everyday living. This is the only way to effect the true restoration of authority.

Almost all nations are built on law because law produces and maintains a functioning and stable society. For healthy national development to take place, the whole nation must agree on what the law, or authority, will be. Many nations have a constitution, which we can define as “the basic principles and laws of a nation, state, or social group that determine the powers and duties of the government and guarantee certain rights to the people in it.”

A constitution establishes what has been called the “rule of law,” in which it is ultimately the law that rules the nation, not the president or prime minister, congress or parliament. Although we often repeat the phrase that “no one is above the law,” this principle has to return in practice. When people think they ultimately rule the nation based on their own opinions, then authority is weakened and even cancelled because people’s opinions can be arbitrary and changeable.

Governing through opinion polls might sound fair, until we see how inconsistent people’s attitudes can be from week to week and from month to month, depending on the immediate circumstances of their own lives and the events in the communities and world around them. This is why a solid foundation for governing can be found only in the fixed nature of established laws and principles.

Again, Yah’s authority, which He provides through His Word, is stable; it doesn’t change on a whim. Another definition of absolute that we looked at earlier is “independent of arbitrary standards of measurement.” We also saw that the word ruler refers to a Latin word meaning “to keep straight, direct.” True authority gives us a reference point, a clear direction in which to go.

The reality of the current crisis in our nations and the world is that we need to decide what our fundamental authority is and what direction to go in. To solve our problems, legitimate authority has to be instated, and this will happen only as nations learn to align their laws in keeping with the Creator’s principles.

Where there is no authority, there is no law. When there is a return to a respect for authority, there will be orderly development in a country. For example, if people value the law, crime will decrease because people will respect others’ property, and there will be fewer broken homes because husbands and wives will take seriously their vows to one another.

In other words, society needs to be reintroduced to its bedrock principles.

So this is what the Sovereign Most High says: “See, I lay a stone in Zion, a tested stone, a precious cornerstone for a sure foundation; the one who trusts will never be dismayed. I will make justice the measuring line and righteousness the plumb line.”(Isaiah 28:16–17)

We have to bring back the Creator’s justice and righteousness as our measurement for living. That will be the precious cornerstone of our individual relationships, communities, and nations. We need a cornerstone that has been tested and proven to be immovable—a solid Rock.

An anchor can sometimes be a good analogy for stability, but my experience growing up in the Bahamas has shown me that if a storm comes, an anchor is useless without a rock. Rocks don’t move, but anchors certainly can, and boats may be pulled away from their moorings and into dangerous waters. The Authorized Dealer, who is “the chief cornerstone” (Ephesians 2:20), is the One who leads us back to the Creator Yah and our stability as human beings. He said,

Everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.(Matthew 7:24–27)

Key #5: Teach that Everyone Must Be Accountable to Authority

The next key is that people must understand that everyone is accountable to authority and that submission is a voluntary surrendering of one’s independence for a greater personal or corporate good. We can never succeed in isolation. Life doesn’t permit that because we were created and designed for relationships.

In fact, if people don’t learn to submit voluntarily, society may make them submit. For example, when a judge sentences someone to prison for violating the law, he is simply taking a lawless person and placing him under authority again. A prisoner is told when to get up, when to go to bed, when to eat, when to bathe, what to wear, what work he can do, when to start working, when to stop working, who can see him and for how long, and so on. His life is subject to a strict authority under which his personal desires are set aside. So, even though the prisoner disregarded authority, he is made to live under it nevertheless.

It is much better to respect authority and receive its benefits than to suffer for ignoring it. Many people suffer from ignoring authority. They may not be in prison, but their lives are disordered, unsettled, and unproductive.

We must communicate to others that true authority and submission are for the purpose of giving and receiving what is good for our lives. Just as we submit to the oxygen that the plants produce, we keep one another thriving by respecting others’ authority and receiving what they are authorized to give. If you know what your authority is and what it is not, then you can respect other people’s authority as they provide you with what you need but do not have. We are not to control others but to use our authority to serve them, and we are accountable for the service that we use it for. Let us encourage people to trust others’ authority, respect it, and allow them to exercise their inherent gifts, as we exercise ours.

Key #6: Hold Authority Accountable to Its Authority

In the various realms of life, we have the right to hold someone in authority accountable to whoever is his higher authority, whoever has delegated power to him. This is essential for restoring legitimate authority to the earth. No one can be above authority, or he will misuse and abuse others. Parents, politicians, teachers and priests, and business leaders are in positions to either help or hurt others by their attitudes and behavior in their positions of authority.

For example, what contributed to the economic crisis that began in the first decade of the twenty-first century was that corporations were not held to responsible business practices. A reinstatement of authority in the form of safeguards and regulations is helping to address this problem. This type of reinstatement of sound principles is at the heart of restoring a culture.

Key #7: Teach the Benefits of Authority

People must especially understand the benefits of true authority if it is to be reestablished in the world. We have been taught the dangers of false authority for so long that we often don’t know that it is a distortion of something that is positive and life affirming. When people understand the true nature of authority and submission, it will become clear that there are more advantages to submission than to rebellion.

The benefits of personal authority have been highlighted throughout this book, but particularly in chapter 8: originality, awareness of intrinsic value, personal fulfillment, confidence, no competition, no comparison, no jealousy, no fear, internal

motivation and passion, and authenticity. The primary purposes of authority, outlined in chapter 6, are also advantages to authority that address the crisis in our world today. True authority brings order, maximum production, preservation, representation through validity and defense, safety, promotion, freedom, identity, and reality.

In effect, living in one’s authority leads to a clear and uncluttered life: When you understand authority, you know who you are, what you are meant to do, and whom you can appeal to when a problem or need arises. Thus, authority is the source of order and peace. It is the substance of simplicity.

Key #8: Discover Your Personal Authority so that You Can Delegate Authority

Of course, another essential key is to make sure we discover our own personal authority so that we will be qualified and equipped to delegate true authority to others. We can’t help to restore others if we haven’t been restored ourselves.

Make it a priority to ask the Creator to clarify your personal authority, and answer the questions in the Personal Authority Profile section at the back of this book. In this way, you will not only experience personal fulfillment but be able to show others how to enter into their true authority, as well.

Key #9: Allow People to Pursue Their Areas of Authority

A ninth key to reestablishing legitimate authority is to allow people to pursue their areas of authority and to encourage others to do the same.

Authority gives us total freedom within the boundaries of our personal domain and therefore lets us be who we were created to be without limitation. What are the boundaries? We are not to infringe on others or their authority, or we will be trespassing. If we have a clear idea of our authority—as in key eight, above—then we will know when we are overstepping another person’s boundary. Again, we must acknowledge that everybody is a leader as he carries out his Yah-given authority on the earth, and that we are an authority only in the area of our personal purpose.

We can also enable others to pursue their gifting by creating environments for them to find and release their personal authority. Parents can make a special contribution in this regard. If a child discovers early in his life what his personal authority is and what his position and role in the family is, and if he is taught what his position and role will be when he is an adult, then he will have clear guidance in how to live his life.

As people discover and start to exercise their personal gifting, the whole structure of interdependent authority will begin to be put back into place.

Key #10: Recognize that We Are Accountable to the Source of All Authority

Key number ten brings us full circle to an acknowledgment of Yah as our Author. We cannot just recognize the Source of our authority and not be answerable to Him. In the end, He is the one to whom we will give a report of our lives and how we have used the authority He has given us. Paul said, “It is written: ‘As surely as I live,’ says the Most High, every knee will bow before me; every tongue will confess to Yah.’ So then, each of us will give an account of himself to Yah” (Romans 14:11–12).

Reestablishing legitimate authority in the world will naturally include responsibility and accountability, and these qualities should begin with us. We therefore must be conscious of the fact that we will be judged and made to give an account for our lives before our Creator. And, as we discover, enjoy, and fulfill our personal authority, we can remember that...

Yah is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them. We want each of you to show this same diligence to the very end, in order to make your hope sure. (Hebrews 6:10–11)
