Sapphires - Pay closer attention

September 23, 2017? What's going to happen?

    

This video is definitely be well worth your time. Now what is he saying? Will we have a rapture? Will we find the Ark of the covenant? or will the times of the gentiles be fulfilled? Maybe but what I think this is really about is the fulfillment of Israel and the Jews. That's what matters! Not the obsession of the rapture or who is the antichrist is but soon the vail is coming off and they are coming back to Abba and He is running to them. They are the love of His life, the apple of His eye and they are ones who have helped let us know who we are in Him. It is about time that we return that love and showing them who the Holy Spirit is, provoking them to jealousy. Remember, we are the ones who are grafted on to their branches, not the other way around. When Yeshua sets up His kingdom, the Jewish believers, like the Tribe of Levi, will be with Yeshua in Jerusalem taking care of the things of the Lord. We, the gentile believers, are like the other 11 tribes. Pray for them. Let them know who Abba is.

      

Good Or God

     About 2 months ago, I came across a program on "The Voyce Radio: The Gospel Sound Of Unity" radio station on my TuneIn Radio app. It was the author of "The Bait of Satan" John Bevere. Loved that book. He has his program on 8 to 8:15 am. I looked him up a couple of days ago on the app because I missed his program and found several books he did. Started listening to Good or God. The book is awesome. Well worth you time to read it or listen in my case.

Welcome Sweet Holy Spirit

It is so sad that this song is almost nonexistent in the Christian music world. You'll never find this on the radio ever again. People have quenched the Spirit. Where is the Spirit in Christianity now?

To all, this is an awesome read. Well worth your time. :O)

Irreconcilable differences

Today the presidential race stopped in Albany. (oh joy) Kind of crazy what has been happening in the past few months. I know for one thing, Abba is in control and no matter who He chooses, it will be by His will not ours.
So last year in February or March, I was talking to Yeshua about the election. I don't know how I got on the subject. Probably because Obama did something that made me very upset. I was talking to him about the candidates and who should replace Obama and He said "What about Trump? I had a puzzled look on my face because Trump wasn't running for office at the time and I said to Him, it doesn't really matter if he is in office, it depends on the people who he has around him helping him make the decisions. When you're in the Spirit, you feel His emotions. It is not just hearing what He says. Remember you are one with Yeshua. So when Yeshua was suggesting Trump, it kinda reminded me of the way when Abba suggested Job.

I don't know who Abba is going to put in office but I have a funny feeling it's going to be Trump. For some reason Trump reminds me of King Nebuchadnezzar. He was arrogant but when God stepped in, he humbled himself for a time and Abba was able to use him for His purpose and of course he became arrogant again and was humbled by God then used again till the end of his days. For whatever reason why He is not using the other candidates is for His reasons and His reason only. We need to be about our father's business, to pray and hear His Spirit guiding us.

Perfect storm

Sorry, I haven't been doing the blog lately. Last year the pharmacy that compounds my thyroid medicine, because I'm allergic to the synthetic thyroid med and fillers, had to change the formula because of government regulations. When they change the formula, it messed me up and the pharmacist wouldn't believe me. It made me very sick for a long time. Finally my doctor stepped in and had them change the formula. The new formula made me even worse and I became even more hyper sensitive to MSG and other chemicals. Also at the same time, I found out my sleep apnea machine hasn't been working properly for over a year. So for almost a year, I've been out of it, sick my stomach and extremely tired. So I haven't really been able to do these blogs but I do have a lot of posts that are incomplete. I just need to finish them. They were able to put me back on my original prescription of rice flour and natural thyroid and I have a new machine now that checks and put my therapy on the computer to track, pretty cool. So I will know now when my machine is acting up.
I went through a lot with this and still don't feel 100% yet, but I know Abba with me. It was really hard wondering why He needed to allow this to happen. No matter what we go through, we need to know that he loves us and is allowing this to happen for whatever reason. We need to trust Him.

Coming to pass

      With the events happening around the word today, I need to write this. I really didn’t want to but I know the time is coming very near and we must be one with Yeshua and hear the Holy Spirit as the early church did.

      About 2 years ago, I had just moved into the new apartment house. My old apartment had structural issues that needed to be addressed and needed to be seriously updated. My uncle moved me to another one of his apartments. Great for my 73 yr old mom, everything is on one level instead of three now. Anyway I discussed with his son, Steve the deflection issues I saw and why I was concerned. While Steve updated the house, they found out only (2) 2X6’ were holding up the 2^nd fl. It took him about 4 months to update the apartments. He fixed the deflection, knocked down some walls, & refinished the wood floors etc.

     While Steve was fixing the old apartment, I had a dream. I also always dream in color. I was in the old apartment helping my aunt & uncle’s new tenants. The apartment look different then when I had lived there. One thing I noticed that one of the walls were missing. The tenants were once Muslims who converted to Christianity seeking protection by the US. My mom came over asking me to convert a crochet design to paper for her. One of the refugees came in with a stoned look in his eyes. The Holy Spirit told me to leave now he is going to blow up the house. I grabbed my mom fast and said were late for the movies. As we were driving away. I heard and felt the blast then I woke up. In my Spirit I knew this will come to pass. Then Abba confirmed it. Several months later, my uncle invited me, mom and my aunts over to see the apartment. The main non load bearing wall was removed. The kitchen and the living room were opened. Everything was also painted white. As the same in my dream. It looked the same. When I came in, and saw everything, I remembered the dream.

     We need to be ready, to hear His Spirit. Just like the early church did, they followed Abba and obeyed Him. We are in the last days. Most of the church just wants the rapture. Really? What are we here for then? Just to go thru the motions and say Halleluyah once in a while? We must step up and become who Abba created us to be and stop being "Church People" and have true intimacy with Abba and hear His Spirit. He cereated us for a reason and knew it before we were born. Seek Him  and do His will before it is to late.

Psalm 139:1-7, 13, 15-16  For the leader. A psalm of David:

    "Adonai, you have probed me, and you know me. You know when I sit and when I stand up,you discern my inclinations from afar, you scrutinize my daily activities. You are so familiar with all my ways that before I speak even a word, Adonai, you know all about it already. You have hemmed me in both behind and in front and laid your hand on me. Such wonderful knowledge is beyond me, far too high for me to reach. Where can I go to escape your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? For you fashioned my inmost being, you knit me together in my mother’s womb. My bones were not hidden from you when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. Your eyes could see me as an embryo, but in your book all my days were already written; my days had been shaped before any of them existed."

The Chris Dupre Story

"Make God Smile" Sapphires magazine

Colossians 1:9-10 "Therefore, from the day we heard of it, we have not stopped praying for you, asking God to fill you with the knowledge of his will in all the wisdom and understanding which the Spirit gives; so that you may live lives worthy of the Lord and entirely pleasing to him, being fruitful in every good work and multiplying in the full knowledge of God."

"The Fullness of Joy" Saphires

Psalms 35:9-10,18 "Then I will be joyful in Adonai, I will rejoice in his salvation. All my bones will say, “Who is like you? Who can rescue the weak from those stronger than they, the poor and needy from those who exploit them?” I will give you thanks in the great assembly, I will give you praise among huge crowds of people."

"His Life"

     I have often wonder why people get so close to the Lord but then just stop. As if nothing else needs to be done. They just start acting different and their walk starts to change. Their speech, mannerisms, view just changes and they have no clue that this is happening. They get saved then forget about the Lord. Things start to happen in their life. They think Abba has left them. They start compromising their walk as if to test the Lord to see if he cares and then either walk away or stay defeated and become bitter. This remindes me of Israel in Isaiah ch 9.

     Isaiah 9:1-16 "The people living in darkness have seen a great light; upon those living in the land that lies in the shadow of death, light has dawned. You have enlarged the nation and increased their joy; they rejoice in your presence as if rejoicing at harvest time, the way men rejoice when dividing up the spoil. For the yoke that weighed them down, the bar across their shoulders, and their driver’s goad you have broken as on the day of Midyan’s defeat. For all the boots of soldiers marching and every cloak rolled in blood is destined for burning, fuel for the fire. For a child is born to us, a son is given to us; dominion will rest on his shoulders, and he will be given the name Pele-Yo‘etz El GibborAvi-‘Ad Sar-Shalom (Wonder of a Counselor, Mighty God, Father of Eternity, Prince of Peace) in order to extend the dominion and perpetuate the peace of the throne and kingdom of David, to secure it and sustainit through justice and righteousness henceforth and forever. The zeal of Adonai-Tzva’ot will accomplish this. Adonai sent a word to Ya‘akov, and it has fallen on Isra’el. All the people know it, Efrayim and the inhabitants of Shomron. But they say in pride, in the arrogance of their hearts, “The bricks have fallen, but we will rebuild with cut stone; the sycamore-fig trees have been chopped down, but we will replace them with cedars.” So Adonai has raised up Retzin’s foes against him and spurred on his enemies Aram from the east, P’lishtim from the west; and they devour Isra’el with an open mouth. Even after all this, his anger remains, his upraised hand still threatens. Yet the people do not turn to the one striking them, they don’t seek Adonai-Tzva’ot. Therefore Adonai will cut off Isra’el’s head and tail, tall palm frond and lowly reed in a single day. The old and the honored are the head, while prophets teaching lies are the tail. For those leading this people lead them astray, and those led by them are destroyed. Therefore Adonai takes no joy in their young men and has no compassion on their orphans and widows; for everyone is ungodly and does evil, every mouth speaks foolishly."

     What did Israel do? Why is Abba so mad? As true believers, what do we really see Abba is doing to His own? What does He want to see His child do? What He wants, is for His kids to forsake their ways and to turn back to Him, getting closer and more intimate. 

     For Israel, serving Him became a chore. The same old same old. No growth, just going through the motions following the rules and regulations. Started relying on their own means, their own desires walking away from Abba. Fighting with their brother & sisters in the Lord and with the world.

     So who does this sound like? What do you think has happened? This can be not only be applied to us but The Church in general. Has Abba created division or unity? What happened to the Early Church? The same as Isreal but worse because we have the Holy Spirit in us now doing the work of Christ. More and more believers were added daily in the beginning but what started to happen? Intimacy started to go away. The "church" was taken out of us and started to become an institution, a replacement for Abba. The Holy Spirit was quench. People were relying on their own means to get to God. A glass ceiling of sorts was developed. The Holy Spirit was pushed away and their intimacy with the father became nonexistent.

     Fast forwarding to today, what do we see in "The Church"? The pastor replacing Abba, the Holy Spirit being quenched, rules and regulations to control. People getting to a level in their "walk" and they hit the "glass ceiling" and become stagnant. The growth has stopped. Being a believer now becomes a chore, the same old same old, no life flowing thru them. They have learned everything the institutional church has given them and say now what? Where is God?  What do I do now? They have no peace. They start to find other means to fill that "void" How do I grow now? I need to start a church, go on a mission, read more books on how to know God, start a new job, etc, etc. or just start falling away. Changing the way they preach, indifference to God, having an affair, stop believing & walking away from Him. 

     Sound familiar? What has to change? Our intimacy with the Father. Abba wants us to hear Him. Walk in His ways, following His Spirit, learning of His love just as a true father would. We need to humble our spirit so His Spirit can bring us Life. Pride will always quench His Spirit. Abba will never force His kids to follow Him but will always get our attention! It is up to us to have intimacy with Him and grow. Break that glass ceiling the institutional church has put up and seek the Father. Walking in His true love, hearing His Spirit, having Yeshua in us as His life. 

Hebrews 10:22-23 Therefore, let us approach the Holiest Place with a sincere heart, in the full assurance that comes from trusting — with our hearts sprinkled clean from a bad conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us continue holding fast to the hope we acknowledge, without wavering; for the One who made the promise is trustworthy. 

Galatians 5:24-26 Moreover, those who belong to the Messiah Yeshua have put their old nature to death on the stake, along with its passions and desires. Since it is through the Spirit that we have Life, let it also be through the Spirit that we order our lives day by day. Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.

Complete Jewish Bible

I always love reading this version of the bible. For some reason it speaks to my heart better than the others. Here is a chapter I just read for my Sapphires daily bible verses. I read the whole chapter rather than just the verses. Enjoy :0)

Romans 12:1-21 I exhort you, therefore, brothers, in view of God’s mercies, to offer yourselves as a sacrifice, living and set apart for God. This will please him; it is the logical “Temple worship” for you. In other words, do not let yourselves be conformed to the standards of the ‘olam hazeh. Instead, keep letting yourselves be transformed by the renewing of your minds; so that you will know what God wants and will agree that what he wants is good, satisfying and able to succeed. For I am telling every single one of you, through the grace that has been given to me, not to have exaggerated ideas about your own importance. Instead, develop a sober estimate of yourself based on the standard which God has given to each of you, namely, trust. For just as there are many parts that compose one body, but the parts don’t all have the same function; so there are many of us, and in union with the Messiah we comprise one body, with each of us belonging to the others. But we have gifts that differ and which are meant to be used according to the grace that has been given to us. If your gift is prophecy, use it to the extent of your trust; if it is serving, use it to serve; if you are a teacher, use your gift in teaching; if you are a counselor, use your gift to comfort and exhort; if you are someone who gives, do it simply and generously; if you are in a position of leadership, lead with diligence and zeal; if you are one who does acts of mercy, do them cheerfully. Don’t let love be a mere outward show. Recoil from what is evil, and cling to what is good. Love each other devotedly and with brotherly love; and set examples for each other in showing respect. Don’t be lazy when hard work is needed, but serve the Lord with spiritual fervor. Rejoice in your hope, be patient in your troubles, and continue steadfastly in prayer. Share what you have with God’s people, and practice hospitality. Bless those who persecute you — bless them, don’t curse them! Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep. Be sensitive to each other’s needs — don’t think yourselves better than others, but make humble people your friends. Don’t be conceited. Repay no one evil for evil, but try to do what everyone regards as good. If possible, and to the extent that it depends on you, live in peace with all people. Never seek revenge, my friends; instead, leave that to God’s anger; for in the Tanakh it is written,“Adonai says, ‘Vengeance is my responsibility; I will repay.’” On the contrary,“If your enemy is hungry, feed him;if he is thirsty, give him something to drink.For by doing this, you will heapfiery coals of shame on his head.” Do not be conquered by evil, but conquer evil with good. 

"Jesus is Alive!"

Jesus Is Alive
By Ron Kenoly

Hallelujah
Jesus is alive
Death has lost it's victory
And the grave has been denied
Jesus lives forever
He's alive! He's alive!
He's the Alpha and Omega
The first and last is He
The curse of sin is broken
And we have perfect liberty
The lamb of God has risen
He's alive, He's alive
Jesus is alive!

2 Corinthians 5:17-21 Therefore, if anyone is united with the Messiah, he is a new creation — the old has passed; look, what has come is fresh and new! And it is all from God, who through the Messiah has reconciled us to himself and has given us the work of that reconciliation, which is that God in the Messiah was reconciling mankind to himself, not counting their sins against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation. Therefore we are ambassadors of the Messiah; in effect, God is making his appeal through us. What we do is appeal on behalf of the Messiah, “Be reconciled to God! God made this sinless man be a sin offering on our behalf, so that in union with him we might fully share in God’s righteousness.” 

"Deep is calling to deep"

Psalm 42:7-8 "Deep is calling to deep at the thunder of your waterfalls; all your surging rapids and waves are sweeping over me. By day Adonai commands his grace, and at night his song is with me as a prayer to the God of my life."
