Who's the STRONGEST?

[Shmanu YAH]

shalom mishpacha, firstly: ALL honor, praises and glory to the Most High YHWH and "baruka ha'bo b'shem YHWH" aka "blessed is your coming in the name YHWH" ->>> Yahushua.

I pray all is well or know assuredly it will be soon.

This time around I'd like to quickly deal with the serious issue of strength, not if we ourselves have any strength but who or what we really honor as the ultimate source of strength or >>> OUR REAL STRONGHOLD.

In today's world there is always a fight and / or competition for who is the Strongest, whether a individual person or a team - we always want to know who the "King of the Mountain" is, and that's what sports is all about. Whether it be Boxing or Wrestling or MMA or Baseball of Football or Basketball or Golf or Soccer or Tennis or Weight Lifting, etc. But the same people focused on these competitions have to accept that the coveted title of "Champion" changes from year to year, .....none of these are permanent, just temporary carnal opportunities to brag on: WHO'S THE STRONGEST!

And other than the physical strife, we also have competitions to see who has the greater "mental strength" - this even starts in elementary school via the National Spelling Bee, Honor Roll, etc. Later we have to prove who's intellectually strong enough and worthy to earn Valedictorian credentials then College scholarships then "Who's Who" then the Dean's list etc., Not to forget the post-graduate honors. If that's not enough we then have more mental hurdles to jump to see if we are strong enough to be part of the Mensa Society, .....all for a valIdation of elite mental superiority,

BUT WHAT DOES THIS DO FOR A RELATIONSHIP TO THE CREATOR?

WHERE IS THE LEARNING TOWARDS EVERLASTING LIFE IN THIS?

WHY NO FOCUS ON SCRIPTURE STUDY AT A SCHOLARLY LEVEL?

Before we can search this out we must first get our hearts and minds in one accord, YES we still get our knowledge, wisdom and understanding from the book of scriptures but if the "ruach h'emet" aka the "spirit of truth" hasn't really dealt with you - then even that could be a problem.

My point: Many speakers today that lack humility and wisdom - revel in how well they can "go though the scriptures", chapter by chapter and verse by verse - but the rest of us with wisdom understand: it's more righteous to "let the scriptures go through you!"

Learn: If you just go through scriptures yes you can get knowledge, even to the knowledge of good and evil, but if you truthfully allow the scriptures to GO THROUGH YOU, you will get LIFE!, NOW - we can finally say .....selah

reiteration: In the very first verse of the torah to us, the masses fail to learn what the Most High was telling Moshe to teach and explain to us. It is translated as: "In the beginning Elohym created the heaven and the earth" (KJV) - but it is actually written as: b'rashyt br'a 'ALHYM at h'Sh'Mym w'at h'artz. We see twice in just this opening statement the word "at" from the letters aleph and taw that confuses the so-called Hebrew scholars and students alike. This little 2 letter Hebrew word has a BIG meaning, >>> It's constructed from aleph (ox head) which means: STRONG / MIGHTY and then taw which means: MARK / SIGN, so that little word "at" that most people only refer to in conjecture actually means: a STRONG SIGN.

YHWH showed he was able to create due to HIS STRENGTH that NOBODY else ever had or ever will .......haleluYAH !!!

So we now can read accurately what was intended: "In the beginning Elohym created as a STRONG SIGN the heavens and as a STRONG SIGN the earth" ( see how easy it is for me to clown them scholars .....lol ).

HIS CREATIVE SIGN ALREADY CONVINCED ME WHO THE STRONGEST IS!

We also saw in torah the first charge from YHWH for our ancestors to be STRONG, back in Deuteronomy 11:8 we read, "Therefore shall ye keep all the commandments which I command you this day, that ye may be STRONG, and go in and possess the land, whither ye go to possess it" ......~ Not only did he tell them to be STRONG, he first told them what would make them STRONG >>> keeping ALL the laws and commandments (where you at on this one?)

Then we see also in Deuteronomy 31:6, 7 & 23 that he reinforced the charge to "be STRONG and of a good courage". He later charged the next leader, Yoshua five times the same thing in Yoshua 1:6,7,9,18 & chapter 10:25. So "IF" we keep the Father's commandments we will see STRENGTH like we've never seen before, but if we don't >>> then our weakness and lack of power and surrendering to strongholds is a result of disobedience.

Years ago I wrote a message about addictions and strongholds called: "Throw down that crutch and walk", here is a relevant excerpt >>>
~ There are various types of addictions in today's society we use as crutches to mask those deeper issues we've not properly dealt with, and here are a list (some more dangerous than others) of the more notable common bad habits turned addictive:
alcohol, smoking, drug abuse, gambling, stealing, sex addiction, pornography, fame, seeking fortunes, food and sweets addictions, shopping, video games, texting, and some are even addicted to the internet ..... real talk! ~ ( end )

So IF the Most High is truly our STRONG healer, then why are we trying to medicate ourselves with substances? ......and why isn't it working? Many of us have read and listen "ad nauseam" to amateurs pervert IsiaYah chapter 58 and tell folks "cry aloud and spare not" is about exposing Israelites that sin or do things in error, >>> WRONG! ....."IF" they responsibly read it in context it's about 2 issues that were then and still are vexing the Most High, they are:

1) calling a fast to get YHWH's attention, and then perverting that fast with carnality,
2) profaning the weekly shabat with regular carnal behavior

And if we read what YHWH said to IsaiYah about a REAL fast we would know and understand there is STRENGTH and healing from On High in a REAL fast ( IsaiYah 58:6 ) that breaks these so-called Strongholds, YHWH promises to prove: WHO'S THE STRONGEST! - and a promise is a promise!

So in this hour as we examine ourselves we still have to ask:
WHO or WHAT HAS A STRONGHOLD OVER US and why? >>> is it YHWH or is it the crafty adversary? If you claim YHWH is your strength, then can you PROVE IT and use his power to break the chains of these carnalities? .....and if not why not?

If we can't PROVE IT then that means the adversary is truly our STRONG MAN and that's wrong on so many levels! If we dare confess that the adversary is our strength ( and very few ever will ) you then have to ask WHY? .....and what does he really have to offer us? That same clown tried to "upgrade" h'mashiach as we read whats recorded in Matthew 4 and Luke 4, but Yahushua wasn't having it! ......HE GOT HIS STRENGTH FROM A HIGHER SOURCE!

What made Yahushua so righteous is: he walked what he talked and it showed! Remember the example as we continued in Luke 4 and vs. 16-29, 4:16 And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up for to read. ( fast forward to vs. 28-29 ), 28 And all they in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with wrath, 4:29 And rose up, and thrust him out of the city, and led him unto the brow of the hill whereon their city was built, that they might cast him down headlong ......~ now here is a issue that the blind never see >>> the synagogues of those demon possessed Pharisees operated in peace and contentment as long as the weak and bogus Talmudic teachings went on shabat after shabat, .... but as soon as someone of strength showed up with enough guts to bring truth and light ->>> ALL HELLENIZATION BROKE LOOSE!

THIS REVEALS WHO THEIR STRONGMEN WERE!

Was it not stated by Yahushua in verse 18, "The Spirit of YHWH is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised", ......~ So if anyone truly listens and believes on Yahushua then they have NO excuse to be under any type carnal STRONGHOLD! ...... yes or no?

Maybe we keep ignoring that fact that Yahshua was STRONG enough in wisdom and qualified because he spent his first 30 years listening & learning ( as in torah Numbers 4:1-3, 21-23, 29-30 ) BEFORE he began using his mouth those following 3-1/2 important years ( almost 10 times as long listening and learning first! ), NOW HOW MANY OF US CAN CLAIM THAT? .......well?  Yahushua is no doubt the Son of YHWH, and being a proven child of the Most High has it's STRENGTH and privileges - that's why James stated in 2:19 "Thou believest that there is one Elohim; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble".......~ so why don't demons tremble when they see us? >>> why do they just laugh and attack?

Even in the days of old one of the physically STRONGEST men ever known Shimshon that we call Samson ( Judges chapter 16 ) didn't have the wisdom STRENGTH of Lemuel as what he wrote in Proverbs 31:3 given to him from his Mother, " GIVE NOT thy strength unto women, nor thy ways to that which destroyeth kings". ......~ Samson shoulda kept his strength in YHWH!

What's sad today is many folks give the adversary (h'shatan) too much credit because they carnally profess his manifested "attacking power" more than they can scripturally expose his cowardice,            ( what's up with that? ).

Did you ever notice in your scripture study that after b'reshyth / Genesis 3 when he got confronted by a REAL and EVERLASTING POWER he went into hiding and sneaking around for many years afterwards. You see Isaiyah mention his past behavior in chapter 14 and later Ezekiel compares the fall on the King of Tyre to the prideful fall of adversary in chapter 28., But you see that hater h'shatan really didn't manifest his cowardly self for a long time till Yahushua came in the flesh, so: CAN THIS COWARD REALLY BE STRONG? ....so why are we still troubled by this pathetic adversary?

The scriptures NEVER EVER says h'shatan is "strong", but only deceitful, crafty and wicked! ......it's the hold that YOU ALLOW over you that is strong.

In our much reading and talking did you ever stop to think: If you don't actually change whole-heartedly YOU really do constantly embarrass the Most High with your same old carnal behavior and actions leading to a declaration that someone is STRONGER THAN ABBA YHWH, ........wth?

I could have easily titled this writing: WHO'S YOUR DADDY? ...because remember what Yahushua told the Pharisees that's recorded in John chapter 8, 8:44 "Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it". .....~ So this is simply stated and easy to understand about THEM at that time, but where are YOU in this accusation? >>> WHO DO YOU ACTUALLY SHOW AS YOUR FATHER?

We all know and believe that YHWH is the creator of the heavens, earth and all that is within, that is a show of STRENGTH that just can't be paralleled!

now ask yourself: What did h'shatan ever do to show STRENGTH? .....well?
Our scripture teaches us "THE HATER" only comes to steal, kill and destroy ( John 10:10 ) >>> and anything dead or destroyed has NO POWER AT ALL!

We know there way are too many instances in scripture to revisit about our Father's show of STRENGTH, but if you think about it: ALL his appearances are ALWAYS STRONG!

( thus his title: ELOHYM ), But one of the more well renown accounts is with the three Hebrew youths Hananiyah, Mishael, and Azariyah as recorded in the book of Daniel chapter 3. After reading that account of power and salvation in the firey furnace do you think any of our ancestors ever doubted or questioned YHWH's might or power?

Even into the account many years later we read in Acts 10:38, How YHWH anointed Yahushua of Nazareth with the Set-apart Spirit and with POWER: >>> who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for YHWH was with him. ......~ here is a PERFECT manifestation of STRENGTH AND POWER from above: healing others (not badmouthing others) is a true sign of POWER and also actually going out doing good manifesting another sign of that spirit ( not just sitting behind a keyboard ) is also a sign of STRENGTH from YHWH, again: HOW MANY OF US CAN CLAIM THAT? .......well?

think: If you ever had any REAL male figure in your life growing up whether it be your Dad, Grandfather, Uncle, etc., you knew you could walk down any road, street or even back alley and you knew you would be in good hands because they would dare anyone to come against you for any type of harm, They wouldn't care less whether or not you were the perfect son or daughter or what kind of grades you were getting in school or any lack of perfection on your part, .......all they care about is you are with them and that's enough! Now ask yourself: if a human with limited strength would do anything to protect you, ....HOW MUCH MORE THE ALMIGHTY FATHER?
So does the Father know you are REALLY with him? .......you got proof???

final thought: Remember the wisdom Yahushua gave us as recorded in Mark 3:27, "No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strong man; and THEN he will spoil his house". .......~ so now you have to explain: " if " YOUR House or Home is seriously dedicated to the Most High, then that would make YHWH the real STRONG MAN of your dwelling wouldn't it? ......SO WHEN AND HOW DID H'SHATAN BIND ELOHYM TO COME SPOIL YOUR HOUSE? ........wth?

This impossible lunacy is a straight insult to the Most High!

Let's get ourselves together Israel and PROVE (not claim) who you believe and profess your real strength is!

selah and shalom
