I am being told that I was “too spiritual and religious” and am seeking the truth of this matter in order to find out what it really means.
Shalom in your hearts and homes family of Yahu’ah my Almighty Aluah! I hope that you too are experiencing the purge and the removal of leaven from the inside out, as we all are being prepared by Yah to become as He sees fit unto righteousness, most importantly. Period!!
Seeking The Truth of A Matter
I had an awesome time in study coming into the Shabbat yesterday evening. So after waking up this morning and again took notice of where our minds, as well as hearts are really supposed to be. Then I pondered about the many times I was told by a few people the following statements:
“You think that you are Miss Holier than thou.
She is so spiritual.
You are overly religious.”
Because I had been told that I was “too spiritual and religious” and am seeking the truth of this matter in order to find out what it really means; in this post, based on the fact that we each have our own perceptions and I am trying to operate off of scriptural truth, I am going to search out this matter in that way; truth. First, what do these words really mean? Do these people even realize what they are actually saying, lets go outside of their lack of understanding?
What Does It Really Mean?
“He who has ears to hear, let him hear!” [Hazon 2:7, 11, 17, 29; 3:6, 13, 22; Mattithyahu 11:15; 13:9, 43; Marqos 4:9; Luqas 8:8; 14:35 – Mishle 28:9 “He who turns his ear away from hearing the Torah, even his prayer is an abomination.”]
Holy, Holier – qodesh [H6944] A sacred place or thing; [H6942] qadash to be clean; appoint, bid, consecrate, dedicate, keep, proclaim, purify, wholly; keep oneself apart or separate; devote; observe as set apart; to be honored or treated as set apart; to prepare to be separate and set apart.
Firstly, is there something really wrong with being more “set-apart” than one who may be operating in dysfunction and disobedience toward Yah?
Spiritual – Ruach [H7307] by resemblance breath; life, courage, mind [H7306] to blow, breathe, to smell or anticipate, enjoy; accept, smell, touch, make of quick understanding
Secondly, I AM NOT going to look at the definitions given by man, we are to worship Yah in spirit [Ruach] and in truth! What’s wrong with being prepared for Yah too much, in the mind of one that is dysfunctional, I mean can Yah breathe on us too much? Can Yah make us of quick understanding too much? Can we enjoy and anticipate our time with Yah too much?
Religious – [G4576] to revere, that is to adore, devout, worship [G2357] fearful, trembling, worshiping Yah
I am seeing now, however, what I did not some time ago. What would life really be like for a person who adores, fears [reverence and awe], and worships Yah so much!!?
Offended No More
Even though, I had been told that I was “too spiritual and religious” and started seeking the truth of this matter in order to find out what it really means, I see this differently. Honestly, those statements used to be offensive, yet after looking to the truth of what Yah says about these words, why?
Yohanan 5:19-20 Therefore יהושע responded and said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son is able to do none at all by Himself, but only that which He sees the Father doing, because whatever He does, the Son also likewise does. “For the Father loves the Son, and shows Him all that He Himself does. And greater works than these He is going to show Him, in order that you marvel.
Selah!
Bet Qorintiyim 2:15-16 Because we are to Elohim the fragrance of Messiah among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing. To the one we are the smell of death to death, and to the other the fragrance of life to life. And who is competent for these?
Qolasim 3:1-4 If, then, you were raised with Messiah, seek the matters which are above, where Messiah is, seated at the right hand of Elohim. Mind the matters above, not those on the earth. For you have died, and your life has been hidden with Messiah in Elohim. When the Messiah, who is our life, is manifested, then you also shall be manifested with Him in esteem.
Tehillim 110:1 יהוה said to my Master, “Sit at My right hand, Until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.”
Tehillim 91:14-16 “Because he cleaves to Me in love, Therefore I deliver him; I set him on high, Because he has known My Name. “When he calls on Me, I answer him; I am with him in distress; I deliver him and esteem him. “With long life I satisfy him, And show him My deliverance.”
There is Purpose
I could go on and on, however to sum up, there is purpose in being more qodesh than those of the world. Above all, there is purpose in being saturated with the Ruach HaQodesh; being fill with more of YAH and less of me. There certainly is deliverance in our worshipping Yahu’ah in the Ruach HaQodesh through the blood of Yahusha and not focusing much on the ways of this world.
The Messiah, Yahusha only did that which the Father did, and we too are too be like him. So , as a result, for now on when people say these things, I will praise Yah for doing more!
In conclusion, the outcome of my life is not up for debate!! I will know Yahu’ah my Elohim through Yahusha with the help of the Ruach HaQodesh!! Too much, in the mind of a dysfunctional individual, is still not enough for Yah. Yahu’ah is the “one in which I live and move and have my being” and “the earth, and the fullness thereof belongs to Him” so….. He that hath ears to hear…
Just a random thought!
Shalom.
Mattithyahu 7:22-23 “Many shall say to Me in that day, ‘Master, Master, have we not prophesied in Your Name, and cast out demons in Your Name, and done many mighty works in Your Name?’ “And then I shall declare to them, ‘I never knew you, depart from Me, you who work lawlessness!
Hoshea 4:6 “My people have perished for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I reject you from being priest for Me. Since you have forgotten the Torah of your Elohim, I also forget your children.
