The Church has been so Romanized after the signing of the
Council of Nicea that for the most part it still rejects the WORD
of YAH (God) - His laws and commandments. That is why moral
standards have become relative and homosexuals can actually
officiate in some churches. In many worship teams there are people
in some kind of immorality and many pastors hide the sin of lust
and adultery. Shabbat has been replaced by Sunday and the Holy
feasts (Leviticus 23) for Pagan Feasts. Most Christians call this
freedom but this is nothing but paganism because His laws have
become the enemy instead of carnality and sin being the TRUE
ENEMY!
We think that if we pray more then we will see REVIVAL and I
totally agree that PRAYER is an extremely important KEY for REVIVAL
but prayer should lead us to REPENTANCE for breaking Yahs
Commandments and for rejecting them altogether. In fact if we will
not repent of this and go back to OBEDIENCE our prayers will be
rejected!
He who turns away his ear from listening to the law, even his
prayer is an abomination. Proverbs 28:9
The Hebrew for Hearing the Law is the word SHMA which means: TO
HEAR AND TO DO!
Contrary to what many think, loving the Law of Elohim will not lead
us to LEGALISM. Legalism is a demonic religious spirit and attitude
that flows from a prideful, self righteous and unrepentant heart.
When we love the Law we always trust in His mercy and compassion
and we become totally dependent in His Holy Spirit. We realize that
we need His help at every step. Those that love His Law become
totally aware that in our weakness He is made strong. King David
kept an attitude of brokenness and faith before Yah. Loving His
Law-Torah makes us sensitive to His Holy Spirit and careful and
ALERT in our walk.
So then, my beloved, just as you have always obeyed, not as in my
presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your
salvation with fear and trembling; Philippians 2:12
Prayer and meditation in His Word becomes a way of life at all
times. The Fear of Yahveh rules our lives rather than the fear of
man or of circumstances! Keeping His laws and commandments is as
much a matter of a PURE HEART as it is a matter of RIGHT BEHAVIOR.
BOTH GO HAND IN HAND! Religious hypocrites may do the right thing
externally but their hearts are full of sin and that is why they
judge others rather than themselves.
"Behold, days are coming," declares Yahveh, "when I will make a new
covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah, not
like the covenant which I made with their fathers in the day I took
them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, My
covenant which they broke, although I was a husband to them,"
declares Yahveh. But this is the covenant which I will make with
the house of Israel after those days," declares Yahveh, I will put
My law within them and on their heart I will write it; and I will
be their Elohim, and they shall be My people. "They will not teach
again, each man his neighbor and each man his brother, saying,
'Know Yahveh,' for they will all know Me, from the least of them to
the greatest of them," declares Yahveh, "for I will forgive their
iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more." Jeremiah
31:31-34
The TRUE MARK of the New Covenant is that the LAW is written in our
hearts and minds, not in tablets of stone but in hearts of flesh.
When we reject Yahs Commandments, call them bondage and those
that teach them judaizers (which is a very Anti Semitic term), we
are actually rejecting the NEW COVENANT and the Agent of the New
Covenant, the Jewish Messiah! Many Christians are about to be
broken off the Olive Tree for rejecting the Law of God. (Romans
11:17-24)
"Many will say to Me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy
in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name
perform many miracles?' "And then I will declare to them, 'I never
knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.' Matthew
7:22-23
