Leviticus 27:33

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!

The problem is many people are too distracted to listen! They fill their minds with noise instead of making room for Yah’s voice! They allow their minds to be dominated by worry instead of the Word of Yah! But those who start their day in Yah’s presence do not struggle to hear Yah’s voice! They have trained their ears to recognize His leading! They have positioned their hearts to hear His wisdom! They do not live in confusion because they have already submitted their day into Yah’s hands! When you walk through life with this kind of awareness you are never truly lost! You are never without guidance because you have already set your foundation on the solid rock of Yah’s truth! It is not usual that those who start their morning with Yah walk in divine favor! They make decisions with wisdom! They avoid traps others fall into! They experience breakthroughs that others only dream about! This is not because they are special! It’s because they have aligned themselves with the Word of Yah! They have surrendered their plans in return for His! They seek His guidance before stepping into the day! When you do this consistently you begin to see Yah move like you never imagined! Doors will open you were not even looking for! Opportunities will come out of nowhere! Protection will surround you! All because you decided to start your day with the one who holds all things together! There is a reason why the Bible says to seek Yah early! It’s not just about the time of day it’s about the principle of putting Him first! It’s about making sure before anything else takes priority! Before the worries of life try to take over! Before the demands of the day begins to pull you in different directions! You have already established Yah is the center of it ALL! When you seek Him first everything else begins to align! When you put Him at the forefront everything else falls in place! The chaos of the world may surround you, but you will walk through it with unshakable peace! The problems of life may arise but you will face them with great strength! Because you have already placed yourself under the covering of the ALMIGHTY! The more you do this the stronger your faith becomes! You won’t have to force yourself to trust in Yah! It becomes second nature! You no longer have to remind yourself to have faith! It becomes your default response! You begin to operate in a level of spiritual authority that changes everything around you! The people around you will begin to sense there’s something different about you! They may not be able to explain it, but they will see a type of peace that the world cannot give! They will notice you have a confidence that is not rooted in human ability! But in divine assurance! This is what it means to live a life that is full of Yah! Imagine waking up every morning knowing that Yah has gone before you! It gives you the confidence that you are absolutely covered! When you are consistently walking in Yah’s presence it will overflow in every part of your life! Everyone will notice the presence you carry daily! You become a light in a world that is full of darkness! A resource to a world that is full of fear! You become an example of a life that is fully dependent on Yah! The enemy knows if you commit to daily communion with Yah daily in the morning! His influence is broken! He knows if you trained yourself to read scripture every morning! His lies are destroyed! He knows if you step into your day with faith instead of fear! He will no longer be able to manipulate you! Start your day every morning with the Word of Yah! Read the scriptures over your life! Read Psalms 91!

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)

Twelve Principles of Authority in Relation to Your Calling




Understanding the Scope of Your Authority and Domain




The honor of your presence is requested....”




When you receive correspondence in the mail that begins with those words, you know you are being invited to a special event—a wedding, a milestone anniversary or birthday party, or another significant occasion. If such an invitation were to come from a head of state, it would be regarded as a particular honor. To enter into your authority is to accept the honor of a gracious invitation from the Sovereign of the universe to join with Him in fulfilling a significant purpose in the world.

In conveying the meaning of personal authority in preceding chapters, I have sometimes referred to it using additional terms, such as assignment, life mission or vision, vocation, work, occupation, and calling. The Greek word kletos, which is translated as “calling” in various places in the Scriptures, has the meaning of “invited.” The word calling is defined in Merriam-Webster’s 11th Collegiate Dictionary as “a strong inner impulse toward a particular course of action especially when accompanied by conviction of divine influence.”

These concepts provide a good description of personal authority. We were created with an inherent “impulse,” or motivation, to pursue a particular purpose in life in service to others, and we have been invited to fulfill that purpose by Yah Himself.

I have summarized the authority of our calling in twelve principles, and as we move to part three of this book, I want to highlight them so that you may be sure about the scope of your personal authority and domain. These principles summarize the nature of your own personal authority so that you can identify, understand, and take action to fulfill your calling with the conviction that it has been given to you by Yah to serve your generation.

Principle #1: Authority Is General

Human beings were given dominion, or a general authority over the earth, at creation (see Genesis 1:26), though they abandoned this authority. When you reconnect to your Creator through the Authorized Dealer, Yahusha Hamachiach, you are restored to this authority, and you are also given another general authority. It is to act on the Creator’s behalf in communicating to the world the opportunity for all people to be restored and reconnected to Him and to receive the benefits of coming under His eternal warranty and discovering their own personal authority. (See, for example, Matthew 28:18–20.)

Your connectedness to the Creator unites you with all others who are restored to Him. It is essential to understand that you have common purposes together with them, as those reconciled to the Creator, even as you exercise your personal authority. Paul wrote,

Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to one hope when you were called—one Most High, one faith, one baptism; one Yah and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.(Ephesians 4:3–6)

Principle #2: Authority Is Specific

In Ephesians 4, we saw that there is one body, Spirit, Most High, faith, baptism, and Yah and Father of us all, who is the Ultimate Authority and who unites us. The next part, however, begins with “But”: “But to each one of us grace has been given as Hamachiach apportioned it” (verse 7). There is individual grace (divine influence, or divine invitation) within the context of our oneness with others that enables us to carry out our specific callings. “Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering Yah’s grace in its various forms” (1 Peter 4:10).

Paul wrote about his own authority in a way that we can all take to heart:

I press on to take hold of that for which Hamachiach Yahusha took hold of me. Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which Yah has called me heavenward in Hamachiach Yahusha.(Philippians 3:12–14)

Principle #3: Authority Is Community Based

Authority is characteristically community based and interdependent. We all have something to bring to a community that will contribute to its life, no matter in what realm that community exists. We are meant to use our authorized power within such communities as we fulfill our unique callings.

Just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Hamachiach we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. We have different gifts, according to the grace given us. (Romans 12:4–6)

What then shall we say, brothers? When you come together, everyone has a hymn, or a word of instruction, a revelation, a tongue or an interpretation. All of these must be done for the strengthening of the church.(1 Corinthians 14:26)

Principle #4: Authority Is Central

True authority is central to your nature as Yah created you; it is an integral part of your personality and gifts. It is not something you have to put on as an addendum to who you really are, and it will not seem forced or uncomfortable to exercise but instead natural. Because of this, personal authority is liberating to the one who enters into it.

For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.(Psalm 139:13–16)

Principle #5: Authority Is Equipped

When Moses was called by Yah to lead the Israelites out of slavery in Egypt, he said, “O Most High, I have never been eloquent, neither in the past nor since you have spoken to your servant. I am slow of speech and tongue” (Exodus 4:10). Moses didn’t realize that power came with the authority he had just been given.

The Most High said to [Moses], “Who gave man his mouth? Who makes him deaf or mute? Who gives him sight or makes him blind? Is it not I, the Most High? Now go; I will help you speak and will teach you what to say.”(Exodus 4:11–12)

Yah had told Moses, “I am sending you to Pharaoh” (Exodus 3:10), so Moses wasn’t going to Pharaoh on his own merits but under the authority of Yah.

Like Moses, most of us don’t recognize the natural power of our personal domains, and we also don’t realize that our Creator stands by us to enable us to fulfill the authority He has given us. The book of Hebrews encourages us, “Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful” (Hebrews 10:23).

When you operate in the authority of your calling, you are automatically equipped for it because Yah is faithful to supply what you need. You are “self-sufficient” in the sense that you were born with a purpose, and you have built-in abilities that Yah assigned to you to fulfill it. Moreover, when you function under Yah’s authority, all His resources are on your side, as well, just as they were for Moses.

Principle #6: Authority Is Self-fulfilling

The gifts that the Creator has planted within you will grow and be fruitful as you trust in the power of what He has given you and commit its use to Him. Yah says, I am watching to see that my word is fulfilled.(Jeremiah 1:12)

As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.(Isaiah 55:9–11)

Principle #7: Authority Can Lie Undiscovered or Dormant

Even though personal authority is self-fulfilling, it can remain undiscovered or hidden inside us—sometimes for a lifetime—unless we awaken to its reality in our lives and put it into the context of a restored relationship with our Creator.

This is one of the reasons that Paul wrote to the first-century Ephesians,

I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe.(Ephesians 1:18– 19)

Authority will also lie dormant within us if we ignore, neglect, or reject it. Paul wrote to Timothy, “I remind you to fan into flame the gift of Yah, which is in you through the laying on of my hands” (2 Timothy 1:6), and Yahusha told this parable about the gifts and calling that are entrusted to us by Yah:

[The kingdom of heaven] will be like a man going on a journey, who called his servants and entrusted his property to them. To one he gave five talents of money, to another two talents, and to another one talent, each according to his ability. Then he went on his journey. The man who had received the five talents went at once and put his money to work and gained five more. So also, the one with the two talents gained two more. But the man who had received the one talent went off, dug a hole in the ground and hid his master’s money.(Matthew 25:14–18, emphasis added)

The parable continues with the master returning and the servants who had been entrusted the five talents and the two talents presenting their doubled talents to him. He replies to each, “Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!” (verses 21, 23). Then, the servant with the one talent—who we are told buried it out of fear (see verses 24–25)—came and gave it back to the master, having obtained no increase in the property.

His master replied, “You wicked, lazy servant! So you knew that I harvest where I have not sown and gather where I have not scattered seed? Well then, you should have put my money on deposit with the bankers, so that when I returned I would have received it back with interest. Take the talent from him and give it to the one who has the ten talents. For everyone who has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken from him.”(Matthew 25:26–29)

We do not need to fear having nothing to show for ourselves to our Creator if we invest in and exercise our natural gifts and talents and then wait expectantly in faith for the results.

In addition, when we use what we have been given for the sake of others, it is multiplied back to us: “Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you” (Luke 6:38).

Principle #8: Authority Is Refined with Use

Just as we need to put our gifts to work in the first place, we need to refine them by continual use, training, and development so that they can be optimally effective.

We constantly pray for you, that our Yah may count you worthy of his calling, and that by his power he may fulfill every good purpose of yours and every act prompted by your faith.(2 Thessalonians 1:11)

Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. But the man who looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues to do this, not forgetting what he has heard, but doing it—he will be blessed in what he does. (James 1:22–25)

Principle #9: Authority Is Permanent

Personal authority is a permanent part of our natures; it doesn’t go away, “for Yah’s gifts and his call are irrevocable” (Romans 11:29). Our authority may be recalled for misuse, but our essential makeup and gifts remain. If we realign our lives with Yah, He will restore us and renew our calls. “We know that in all things Yah works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose” (Romans 8:28).

This principle is the reason why the same ideas and dreams keep coming back to us throughout our lives. We must realize that our personal authority is connected to our identities and reflects our true purposes so that we will seek to pursue what we are called to do in life.

Principle #10: Authority Is Yah’s Perfect Will

Human beings were both created and restored with the purpose of authority, which tells us that authority is Yah’s perfect will for us. I didn’t understand authority for many years, yet as I studied its principles, I began to appreciate that authority was the best thing Yah ever gave us, for many reasons. I have presented a number of those reasons in this book—authority gives us purpose, protection, fulfillment, motivation, a place in life, order, peace, and much more.

His divine power has given us everything we need for life and Yahliness through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness.(2 Peter 1:3)

The more we learn about our inherent authority and exercise it in our lives, the more we come to understand how important it is in relation to Yah’s will for us.

Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what Yah’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.(Romans 12:2)

Principle #11: Authority Requires Personal Submission to Yah

Each of us must submit to Yah and allow Him to unfold His purposes for our lives as we exercise personal authority.

Focusing on what is happening in another person’s life rather than on what He has given us and how He is leading us will always pull us off track. Yahusha’ disciple Peter started to do this, but Yahusha’ response to him was, “You must follow me”:

[Yahusha] said to [Peter], “Follow me!” Peter turned and saw that the disciple whom Yahusha loved was following them. (This was the one who had leaned back against Yahusha at the supper and had said, “Most High, who is going to betray you?”) When Peter saw him, he asked, “Most High, what about him?” Yahusha answered, “If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you? You must follow me.”(John 21:19–22)

Principle eleven sheds additional light on principles one and two, which are that authority is general and authority is specific. Even though we all have general calls to authority in relation to creation and restoration, each of us must individually follow the Authorized Dealer as we obey the Word of Yah and follow the leading of the Spirit of Yah in order to fulfill the Manufacturer’s specific purposes for us.

All Scripture is Yah-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of Yah may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. (2 Timothy 3:16–17)

[Yahusha said,] “I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear. But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. He will bring glory to me by taking from what is mine and making it known to you. All that belongs to the Father is mine. That is why I said the Spirit will take from what is mine and make it known to you.”(John 16:12–15)

Principle #12: Authority Has a Time for Mature Administration

King Solomon wrote, “There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven” (Ecclesiastes 3:1). There is a time for everything, and there will be a time for the mature administration of your personal authority.

The Scriptures say that when Yahusha came to earth to fulfill His calling to restore human beings to their Creator, it was at just the right time:

But when the time had fully come [“the fullness of the time had come” nkjv], Yah sent his Son, born of a woman, born under law, to redeem those under law, that we might receive the full rights of sons.(Galatians 4:4–5)

The timing of authority is a significant principle for us to keep in mind. We need to be sensitive to the ways in which Yah is working in our lives. We don’t fully know the amount and type of preparation we may need for the mature administration of our authority, but we do know that the Scriptures teach the importance of our training, testing, and incremental growth, which lead to maturity and usefulness for Yah. We therefore have to be continually preparing to exercise our authority by developing our character, gifts, and skills so that we will be ready when Yah opens doors of opportunity for us.

In a large house there are articles not only of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay; some are for noble purposes and some for ignoble. If a man cleanses himself from the latter, he will be an instrument for noble purposes, made holy, useful to the Master and prepared to do any good work.(2 Timothy 2:20– 21)

Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much. So if you have not been trustworthy in handling worldly wealth, who will trust you with true riches? And if you have not been trustworthy with someone else’s property, who will give you property of your own? (Luke 16:10–12)

When those doors of opportunity open, you may find that you continually operate in your authority, or you may have periods when you pull back and regroup or rest before mobilizing again. But as you prepare yourself and your gifts, and as you stay connected to your Creator, you will know when it is time to get active and administer your authority. It will be for you “the fullness of time.”

Shabbat Shalom Fiveamprayer! Get ready for a New Season 5785! You must trust Yah in this next week! New Years is March 29th be prepared for the OPEN WINDOWS! DOUBLE GRACE! Completion and New Beginning! Fiveamprayer every season in life has a purpose! Just as the earth transitions from winter to spring! So does your spiritual life shifts from one phase to another! There comes a moment when heaven begins to announce that you season of blessings are at hand! The question is can you recognize the signs! Life is full of seasons! Each one carrying its own purpose, lessons, and challenges! When a new season is about to unfold it rarely announces itself with comfort and ease! Instead it is always proceeded by disruption, confusion, and unexpected changes, that challenges the very foundation on which we stand! What may seem like chaos in reality is divine orchestration! Old relationships and things begin to shift not because something is wrong, because something greater is on the horizon! The discomfort you feel is not punishment! It is preparation! In history divine disruption are seen as divine promotion! This pattern is seen in the lives that Yah has called to higher places! Before Joseph step into the palace he walked through betrayal, slavery, and prison! Before David sat on the throne he was hunted like an outlaw! Before the Israelites entered the promised land, they wandered through the wilderness! The common thread in all these stories is this.. every significant situation was first marked by an uncomfortable situation! When Yah is ready to move you into a new elevation! He will always shake the foundation of your current situation! What used to be stable suddenly feels uncertain! People you depended on may start to distance themselves! Opportunities that may have once seem secure! May begin to fall apart! Friends you made may no longer align with the direction in which you are being pulled. This is not the enemy working against you! This is Yah working for you! He’s disrupting the familiar to introduce the extraordinary one of the greatest mistakes we make in times of divine destruction is resisting the process! It is natural to seek comfort in what is known, but clinging to the past can delay what Yah is trying to bring into your life! Many times we pray for expansion! Yet we struggle to release what no longer serves us! If you ask Yah to enlarge you territory! Be prepared for the shifting that comes with it! He cannot pour new wine into old wine skins! The structures of your life must be adjusted! To contain the new season that is coming! Divine destruction often manifests in ways that seem unfair or illogical! You may find yourself questioning why things are happening the way they are! Why did that door close! Why did that relationship end! Why did that opportunity slip away! These are the moments when faith is tested. It is easy to trust Yah when everything is going according to plan! But true faith is revealed in moments of uncertainty! The challenge is to believe that even in disappointments that there is divine direction! Every no is a redirection! Every delay is a set up for something greater! Yah does not disrupt your life to leave you broken! He does it to bring you into alignment with His purpose! Sometimes we become too comfortable in places we were never meant to settle in! Just like an eagle stir its nest to push its young to fly! Yah will sometimes move the comfort of our lives so that we step into what we were truly created for! If the nest remains to comfortable we will never discover our wings! If life remains predictable we will never grow into the fullness of our potential! The disruption is not the end of the story! It is the beginning of something new! In the moment you may feel like you’re losing control, but that is Yah is taking control! What appears to be a setback is actually a set up for the next chapter of your life! What seems like a loss was a removal of distractions that were preventing you from stepping into your purpose! Some of the greatest breakthroughs come disguised as breakdowns! The job that you loss caused you to start your own business! The rejection that led you to the right people! The close door that positioned you for a greater opportunity! All of these are divine disruptions leading to divine promotions! It is in these moments that your perspective matters most! You can either see the destruction as destruction or as preparation! The way you interpret your situation determines how you walk through it. If you see it as an attack! You will respond with fear and frustration, but it you recognize it as a transition! You will embrace it with faith and expectation! The sooner you align with what Yah is doing the quicker you will move into your new season! The destructions are not there to destroy you they are there to develop you! The are preparing you for the weight of the blessing that is coming! When everything around you seems uncertain! Remember this! Before every great move of Yah there’s a period of shaking! Before every elevation there is the breaking of the old! When divine destruction comes do not resist it lean into it! Something greater is being done and what feels like ending is really the beginning of something extraordinary! Life is a journey of seasons and transitions and timing. One of the clearest signs that you are being prepared for a new chapter is when certain doors begin to close! These doors may represent opportunities you once desired! Relationships you deeply valued! Or familiar places that once provided comfort! When they begin to shut unexpectedly it’s natural to feel frustrated, confused, or even abandoned! But what if those closed doors are not a sign of rejection, but rather divine redirection! What if instead of being locked out! You are actually being led forward! Yah never allows a door to close unless He provides something greater on the other side! We often pray for open doors! For opportunities to come our way, for relationships to flourish and for circumstances to align in our favor, but what we fail to realize the answers to our prayers is not an immediate yes, but a divinely orchestrated not here not yet! When a door closes it’s not necessarily a denial it’s a shift in direction! The challenge is we do not see the full picture! Our vision is limited to whats in front of us, but Yah sees what is ahead! Too often we become attached to places, people, and plans that are only meant for a season! We settle into jobs that limit us! Relationships that drain us! And environments that keep us stagnant! WOW AND WOW SPEAK YAH!! But Yah is not interested in keeping you stagnant! He is committed to taking you to your destiny! If a door has closed it means whatever was behind it no longer serves your purpose! It may have been good for a time! But it’s no longer where you were meant to be! One of the most difficult challenges of divine redirection is trusting the process when you do not understand it! When a relationship ends it can feel like you lost something irreplaceable! When a job opportunity slips away it can make you feel like you’re moving backwards instead of forward! When a familiar place no longer feels like home you may question why are you bring up rooted! But in every closed door there is a hidden blessing! Sometimes Yah will remove what you think you need! To show you what you actually need! Consider this if Joseph would had never been betrayed by his brothers and sold into slavery! He would have never made it to pharaoh’s palace! If Ruth would have not left her homeland after losing her husband. She would have never stepped into her divine assignment! If Paul would have not been thrown in prison! Some of the most powerful letters in the Bible would not have been never been written! What seem like setbacks were divine orchestrations! The very doors that closed in their lives were the catalyst that positioned them for greatness! The problem is we try to force open doors that Yah has already shut! We hold onto relationships that are no longer serving our purpose! We chase opportunities that are no longer meant for us! We remain in places where our growth is stunted, but forcing a door open will never lead to true fulfillment! When Yah closes a door is because He has already prepared something better! Your job is not to fight the closure, but to trust the redirection! There is a clear difference between being rejected by man and being redirected by Yah! Man may reject you based on their opinion, but when Yah redirects you it is based on His plan! Some doors close not because you have failed , but because you have outgrown them! Some relationships fail not because you were unworthy, but because your destiny requires a different circle! Some opportunities slipped away not because you were not good enough, but because something greater is being aligned! Instead of mourning over what didn’t work out! Ask Yah what is He preparing for you! Instead of trying to open a door that is sealed shut! Starting looking for the Windows that are about to be opened in 5785! The key to navigating divine redirection is surrender! When you let go of what is no longer meant for you! You make room for what is! When you stop striving to control the outcome! You position yourself to receive something far beyond what you could have planned! At first the closing of a door may not make sense! It may feel painful, uncertain or even unfair! But in time you will look back and realize what you thought was a lost was actually the greatest gain! You will see that every closed door was part of a divine strategy to lead you to something far greater than you imagined! So do not fear when doors begin to close REJOICE!! Because it is a sign you are being directed to something greater! When you find yourself facing unusual opposition! When the challenges seem relentless and when the pressure in your life intensifies! Do not be discouraged! Be ENCOURAGED! Yah is establishing ELEVATION IS COMING! ALL PRAISE TO THE MOST HIGH YAH FOR EVERY DOOR BEING SHUT IN 5784! PREPARE YOURSELF FOR THE WINDOWS BEING OPENED FOR 5785! THE NEW YEAR IS MARCH 29TH GLORRRRRRYYYYYYY
