FROM THIS WEEK’S TORAH PORTION – BEMIDBAR:
Vadabeir YHWH el Moshe bemidbar Sinai... ~ “And spoke YHWH unto Moshe in the wilderness of Sinai...”
As we begin the fourth book of Torah, we are presented with the image of a vast host of people preparing to cross a great and lonely wilderness on the way to a promised land that is chalav ud’vash – “flowing with milk and honey.” We know this trek will be sadly interrupted and will result in forty years of wandering in a desolate place where many will fall because of disobedience. It is surely punishment of an incredible duration and magnitude. It is horrible to our mind’s eye and imagination.
Every person who comes to faith in YHWH and chooses to walk in the footsteps of Yehoshua will also pass through a time in the wilderness. Many of you who are reading this have already done so, some have yet to enter, and others are there even now. When it is our turn, most of us “kick against the goads,” rejecting this seemingly intolerable and unnecessary fate, and resenting YHWH for putting us through it all. We cry, “Why Abba?” and we wonder where grace and mercy are. Yet this seemingly excessive or unnecessary punishment is self-inflicted – we bring it upon ourselves. Soon after we first pray and repent, then turn and are saved, we quickly demonstrate our lack of faith by turning back once again to disobedience. Then, because of our own actions, YHWH has no real choice but to subject us to the ordeal of the wilderness.
YHWH disciplines His sons and daughters whom He loves, but not in order to visit revenge upon them and hurt them. He does it in order to teach and purify them for Himself, to bring them perfected and whole into His promised land. Those who are wicked He leaves to fate alone. The wilderness is where we become the righteous people we are meant to be if we are truly His – the Qedoshim, the Bride of the Most-High. There is no other way to accomplish this, so we should embrace this time in our lives and make the best use of it that we can. Some will not. Some will plod along as they have always done, actually doing and becoming little or nothing. Some will make great plans, promises and vows, but will not follow through on them. Some will fall away and perish. That has already been prophesied. But those who endure and remain will emerge from this iron furnace refined as zahav tahor – pure gold, fit for the King.
The haftarah for Parshath Bemidbar shows us the difference between our own frightful perception of the wilderness ordeal, and that of YHWH. We think of it as only a terrible punishment and an evil turn of events in our lives. But, of this time, He says,
“Therefore, behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak tenderly unto her.”
It is only in the wilderness that YHWH can get our full and complete attention then show us all that He wants and has planned for us. He is wooing you to Him even now. If you will come, then He has a promise for you:
V’eirastiyk liy l’olam; v’eirastiyk liy b’tzedek uv’mishphat uv’chesed uv’rachamim; v’eirastiyk liy be’emunah, v’yada’ath et YHWH ~ “I will betroth you to Me forever; I will betroth you to Me in righteousness, and in justice, in lovingkindness and in compassion. I will betroth you to Me in faithfulness; and you shall know YHWH.”
What will you do? Please, listen for His voice in the wilderness, brethren. Don’t fight it, complain or turn away from Him. He is calling to you. Then, answer Him in faithfulness and obedience. Claim your place at the wedding supper of the bride. Through the wilderness with Him is the only way there.

Day 32 of counting the omer. The number 32 in Hebrew is written with the letters lamed and beth, which form the word leb, meaning "heart"
WORD FOR TODAY “are our hearts any different today?”: Jdg 8:33 Then it came about, as soon as Gideon was dead, that the sons of Israel again played the harlot with the Baals, and made Baal-berith their god.
WISDOM FOR TODAY: Ecc 1:9 That which has been is that which will be, And that which has been done is that which will be done. So there is nothing new under the sun.

Exodus 17:15, “And Moses built an altar and named it The LORD Is My Banner.” A banner does not always need to be a flag, it may be an alter that reminds us who our Creator is.
A RENEWAL OF THE SPIRIT
There was once a church that was boasting new bells in their belfry. Since the church was built many decades ago, the congregation has held off on its plans to hang bells in a large open space above the sanctuary. Due to limited funds, the congregation suggested mounting a cross in the space or a series of liturgical banners that could be hung according to the seasons of the church’s year. In conjunction with the church's 25th anniversary, the church finally found the means to spring for three bells to fill the vacant hole. They are beautiful. However, you will never hear these bells peal on a Shabbat or any other day of the week for that matter. It does not have to do with city ordinances or complaining neighbours opposed to bells playing hymns. It has to do with the fact that the bells are not real. They do not have clappers. Although they look authentic, they are made of resin. At some point in our lives, most Moshiach followers can relate to those bells. We see, speak and do things that are representative of our faith in our Moshiach, yet deep inside we no longer sense the power of YHVH living inside of us. Through my years, I sense that many believers I come across, are in need of a spiritual renewal. They need a fresh injection of the Power of YHVH in their lives so that they can accomplish what He has called them to as faith-based social media platform owners and as individuals. And the place that they really need to start is with a renewal of Ruach HaKodesh in their lives. Let us do some soul-searching by considering three questions that are vital to Ruach Kodesh renewal in our lives. The first question we need to consider is this:
1. DO I NEED HOLY SPIRIT RENEWAL?
In other words, is this even an issue for me? Do I already have it together in this area or do I need some help? I have put together four questions that should help us each to make that decision.
A. Am I eager to serve YHVH? Am I spreading the truth of Gospel in my faith-based social media platform and in my life because it is something I feel obligated to do or because it is something I desire to do for YHVH? “But now we are delivered from the Law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of Spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.” (Romans 7:6) In this verse Paul is making the distinction between those that do things for YHVH because it is legally required of them, and those that do them because the Spirit of YHVH is empowering them to serve. Where are you at on this? If serving YHVH is drudgery for you, you are in need of Ruach Kodesh renewal.
B. Am I enjoying time with YHVH? Do you hesitate to approach YHVH in prayer? Has quiet time become boring time? Do you look forward to the times when you can spend time in YHVH’s Word? “For the Kingdom of YHVH are not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in Ruach HaKodesh. For he that in these things serveth Moshiach is acceptable to YHVH, and approved of men.” (Romans 14:17-18) Our experience with YHVH is meant to be enjoyable and fulfilling. If you are not experiencing that right now, you are in need of Ruach Kodesh renewal.
C. Am I growing in relationship with YHVH? “As newborn babies, desire the sincere milk of the Word that ye may grow thereby.” (1 Peter 2:2) This word “desire” means that this is something I long for and what I am to long for is the Spiritual Milk or the Word of YHVH. Do you find yourself in a state of desiring that time that you have with YHVH in His Word and growing closer and closer to Him? If not, you are in need of Ruach Kodesh Renewal.
D. Am I a follower of Yeshua example for others? Let us put this another way; would you be thrilled to know that every person in your faith-based social media platform was living life exactly the way that you do? If each and every one of us had the same level of commitment to YHVH and to His Church that you display in your life, would we all be better or worse off? “Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Moshiach.” (1 Corinthians 11:1) If we are experiencing a life empowered and enriched by Ruach HaKodesh, we should be able to say “Yes, others should follow me as I am following Moshiach.” If we cannot say that, then we are in need of Ruach Kodesh renewal. Identifying our need for renewal is not difficult. If you answered “No,” to even one of these questions, you are in need of Ruach HaKodesh renewing your life. The next step is more difficult, but very much a double thing. We need to ask and answer our second question if any of this is going to do us any good.
2. HOW CAN I BE RENEWED?
I would be shocked if less than 80% of you on any faith-based platform have not come to the conclusion that we all need renewal; in fact, I think the number should be higher than that. The fact is that each and every one of us, even I, needs renewal on a regular basis. This is nothing to be ashamed of; rather, it is good to just admit it, get it out of the way and then move on to becoming the person YHVH wants us to be. “And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of Him that created him.” (Colossians 3:10) Renewing the true faith-based social media platform is like remodelling your house: it takes longer than you hoped; costs more than you planned and makes a bigger mess than you ever thought possible. This applies as much to any faith-based social media platforms as to us as individuals. If you are reading this, hoping for a quick fix or easy solution, you are not going to get it. Rather, I am going to give you four necessary steps that need to be repeated every single time we find ourselves moving away from our relationship with YHVH.
A. Renew my commitment: I can remember as a kid in the Pentecostal church, that periodically someone would come forward at the end of the service and recommit / rededicate their lives to Yeshua Moshiach. These were people that were already saved, yet they had not been walking with Adonai as they should and coming under conviction of that, they decided to make a public recommitment of their hearts before the entire congregation. I really miss seeing that and I am not sure why people do not do it much anymore. A powerful thing happens to us when we renew our commitment to Moshiach; it is both a pledge to YHVH and a promise to ourselves that we are going to follow Yeshua as Adonai, while it can be done privately. When it is done before people, it encourages the any church to pray and to assist in the renewal process. “Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice. Create in me a clean heart, O YHVH; and renew a right spirit within me.” (Psalm 51:8, 10) To be renewed by the Spirit, I have to recommit myself to Yeshua Moshiach. If I am not committed to the process I cannot expect YHVH to bring renewal. It is not a matter of just praying to YHVH and Him giving us with a new heart; it is a matter of committing myself to YHVH and His will for my life.
B. Surrender my will: In the early 1990’s, in South Africa, a group of young people participated in an eight-year anti-smoking-campaign program. The results were not impressive. Of the group that went through the program, 25, 4% in the year 2000 smoke regularly. And of the control group, those who did not participate in the study; 25, 7% in the year 2000 smoke regularly. The education campaign hardly made any difference at all but the world believes education is the answer to any culture's problems. For some of them, it is, for many, it is not. People do not need new ideas or new techniques but a new power within. It is only by surrendering our wills to Ruach HaKodesh that we can be renewed before YHVH. “But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of YHVH dwell in you. Now if any man has not the Spirit of Moshiach, he is none of His.” (Romans 8:9) Now to be under the Spirit’s control implies what? That I am not controlling myself. Until I voluntarily turn over control of my life to Ruach HaKodesh I will continue to be defeated by sin, depression, lack of vision, lack of hope and will not be able to function as the fully empowered child of YHVH that YHVH wants me to be. If you were in the midst of a battle, with no weapon and the enemy was standing beside you with a gun to your head, what would you do? If you had any sense at all, you would put up your hands in surrender and voluntarily place yourself under the control of the opposing army. The good news is that when I surrender to YHVH, He does not put a gun to my head, nor does He wish me harm, He is waiting for me to admit that I have lost the battle by trying to accomplish victory in my own strength and I am now ready to turn it all over to Him. When people raise their hands to YHVH in prayer or when they sing praises to His Name, is it not that what they are symbolizing? We are saying, “YHVH, I turn it all over to You.” “And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit.” (Ephesians 5:18) What happens when you drink too much alcohol? You surrender your mind, body and will to it, don’t you? You come under its control. YHVH says, “Do not do that,” instead “let Ruach HaKodesh fill and control you.” Like alcohol, Ruach HaKodesh will take over your mind, body and will when you surrender to Him, but unlike alcohol, the results are all positive. Ruach Kodesh renewal must be preceded by a surrender of our will to YHVH.
C. Live in obedience: Henri Nouwen once said: I cannot continuously say no to this or no to that, unless there is something ten times more attractive to choose. Saying no to my lust, my greed, my needs and the world's powers takes an enormous amount of energy. The only hope is to find something so obviously real and attractive that I can devote all my energies to saying yes… One such thing I can say yes to is when I come in touch with the fact that I am loved. Once I have found that in my total brokenness I am still loved, I become free from the compulsion of doing successful things. Nouwen discovered that it was not difficult to say no to the things that drew him away from YHVH, when He knew that He was completely loved by YHVH. I have pondered this and I think that he is right, in many ways our acts of disobedience are driven by disbelief that YHVH loves us. We act out because, for whatever reason, we do not accept YHVH’s love for us. When we know that YHVH is committed to us, we live as people who are loved, which are clearly demonstrated by our obedience to Him. In other words, when we do not think we are loved by YHVH, we react by living in a way that does not demonstrate love for Him either. When we fully accept His love, we react by living in obedience to Him. “If ye love Me, keep My Commandments.” (John 14:15) And what is the result of obeying His Commands? We find ourselves living lives of renewal. “This I say then, walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.” (Galatians 5:16) “If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.” (Galatians 5:25) Yeshua knew, Paul knew and now we know, that our obedience to YHVH’s Commands results in life lived in the Spirit. And when we are living in accordance to YHVH’s Instruction, we are better able to relate to Him on a spiritually defined level. In other words, when I am obedient to YHVH, I am becoming more like YHVH and better able to understand and relate to Him, because I better understand Who He is and where He is coming from.
D. Hear the Spirit’s Voice: In the book of Revelation, Yeshua gives instruction to seven different churches. The one instruction that goes out to each one is that they must listen to the voice of Ruach HaKodesh. What is interesting is that while each is given the exact same initial instruction, a different promise is given to three of them. Ephesus: “He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the church; to him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of YHVH.” (Revelation 2:7) Smyrna: “He that hath an ear let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the church; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.” (Revelation 2:11) Pergamum: “He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the church; to him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.” (Revelation 2:17) Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea are given no particular promise, just told to listen to the Spirit. Now my point in all this is that YHVH has instructed His Church, which includes individual members of any faith-based social media platform, to listen and understand the Spirit. When we do that, a promise is given, each of which pertains to the life to come. But what is also true, is that when we listen to the Spirit in the here and now, we also benefit by being renewed by the Spirit in the here and now. I cannot go into all of the verses, but let me summarize: The Bible promises that if I listen and understand Ruach HaKodesh, He will empower me to be a witness for Yeshua Moshiach. He will be there to be my Counsellor and my Guide. He will teach me the truth and He will lead me into righteousness. He will teach me how to live in a way that is pleasing to YHVH. The fact of the matter is: I need to open up my ears and my heart to what Ruach HaKodesh is saying if I want to be a man or woman after YHVH’s own heart. When I allow the Spirit to enter into the secret place of my heart, I will become a person that has the power, the ability, the conviction and the wisdom that is necessary for me to be a sold-out, high-intensity, love-driven, sin-defeating, powerhouse for Almighty YHVH. No one and I mean no one; will be able to stop me in my efforts to become all that YHVH has created me to be.
A RENEWAL OF OUR VISION
Let me quickly give you the four questions again without additional comment just to refresh your memory.
1.) Am I eager to serve YHVH?
2.) Am I enjoying time with YHVH?
3.) Am I growing in relationship with YHVH?
4.) Am I a Godly example for others?
If you answer any or all of these questions, “No” you are in need of renewal. I need to talk about the need to renew our vision for Moshiach and His purpose. Most of you will remember when you first became a believer that you were fired up with a vision to reach people for Moshiach and to see His Kingdom grow. You probably spent considerable time in prayer asking YHVH to use you for His Kingdom and to make you a strong witness to others. You saw yourself as a champion for Moshiach, proclaiming victory in His Name and defeating the enemy with the sword of the Spirit. When you heard sermons or read letters about evangelism and outreach, you got fired up and clearly understood and accepted the fact that YHVH could use you in a mighty way but somehow, over the years or months, since your conversion to Moshiach, somehow that vision has faded and become nothing more than a distant memory. You might still talk about it and you know it is something that should be important to you but if the truth be known, it is the last thing on many your minds these days. Think about this for a minute; in this last week, how much time did you spend pondering the fact that YHVH has a vision for your life and for His followers? If you are like most people, you probably gave it little, if any, thought. I want to try and help change that by letting you in on something. You are an integral part of YHVH’s plan for this world and YHVH wants to give you the ability to fulfil that plan in your life and in your church. YHVH wants us to begin thinking on a much grander scale than we have been thinking and bring to us a personal renewal that focuses on a vision for the future. There are three sentences on your outline that we are going to complete together.
1. YHVH SAYS THAT…:
A.) …I AM COMMISSIONED: When you signed up to be a believer, you were also accepting the challenge of YHVH’s mission for your life. “And Yeshua came and spake unto them, saying, all power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of Ruach HaKodesh: teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.” (Matthew 28:18-20) This commission from Moshiach to make disciples, baptize them and teach them to obey was given to Yeshua’ disciples more than 2,000 years ago and is still given to us today. YHVH is telling us today that we are both individually and corporately accountable for fulfilling the mission He has sent us on. This is for men, women, young people, children, elderly, married, single, widowed, divorced, it is given to everyone and no one is given a pass. The sooner we understand this and take responsibility for it; the sooner we will begin to experience the renewal that YHVH’s wants us to have.
B.) …I AM EMPOWERED: Unlike any government, YHVH does not demand unfunded mandates. Do you know what I mean? Sometimes a government will pass rules, laws or procedures that are passed down to the States, County’s or Provinces, yet there is no funding given. YHVH does not work like that, He never asks us to do anything that He does not also give us the resources necessary to accomplish whatever He asks us to do. “But ye shall receive power, after that Ruach HaKodesh is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.” (Acts 1:8) The same power given to the early disciples is available to us today and that power comes from Ruach HaKodesh who indwells every believer. That power was specifically given to accomplish the vision YHVH had given. I can never excuse myself from service by saying that I do not have the resources necessary; YHVH promises me that He will empower me to fulfil the vision.
C. …I AM ENTRUSTED: There is a story that a young man applied for a job as an usher at a theatre. The manager asked him, "What would you do if a fire breaks out?" The young man answered, "Don't worry about me. I would get out easily." That is how we respond sometimes. "What would you do if Yeshua came back tomorrow?" "Oh, don't worry about me. I would be okay." But you are an usher! It is not enough just to get out ourselves; we are responsible for helping others get out! “But as we were allowed of YHVH to be put in trust with the gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but YHVH, which trieth our hearts.” (1 Thessalonians 2:4) YHVH has entrusted His vision to us as individuals and as a church. There is no other plan in place; YHVH is counting on you and on me to get the job done.
2. I NEED TO…:
A.) …SEE MYSELF AS YHVH SEES ME: I believe that one of the biggest contributors to lack of vision is a misunderstanding of just who we are in YHVH’s eyes. Until I see myself as YHVH sees me, I will not be able to comprehend the vision. In other words, I cannot envision my role in YHVH’s Kingdom until I envision myself as a fully equipped, loved and cared for, child of YHVH. YHVH sees me as a person that can accomplish His will for my life. He does not look at me or you as failures; He looks at us and sees people that can reign victorious in this life. I can remember when I was a kid in school, my mother would go to those parent-teacher meetings and the teacher would always say, “Your son could be a great student if he would just apply himself.” I wonder if YHVH ever looks at us like that. He is looking at us and saying, “I know that he / she has the ability to accomplish great things for My Kingdom, if he / she would just apply the promises that I have made, there would be no limits.” It is clear from the Great Commission that you read earlier that YHVH believes in us. But for some reason we many times do not believe in ourselves. I am not talking about self-confidence, self-esteem or building up a false sense of bravery, I am talking about recognizing that YHVH has instilled within us the supernatural power to accomplish His vision for the Kingdom. And when I am not seeing myself in that Light, I am denying the very promises that YHVH has made to me. We all need to take some positive steps to correct this and the first thing that we can do is continually remind ourselves that we can do what YHVH has asked us to do, not because we are so intelligent, so powerful or such wonderful people, but because YHVH is everything that He claims that He is and if He says I can do it, then I can do it!
B.) …REALIZE THAT I AM ONE PART OF THE WHOLE: “For as we have many members in one body and all members have not the same office: so, we being many, are one body in Moshiach, and everyone member’s one of another.” (Romans 12:4-5) When I first went into ministry I did not really understand this passage. I thought that if I personally preached well enough and worked hard enough, that YHVH’s vision would be fulfilled in my life and the life of the ministry. You could say that I thought everything depended completely on me. I have since learned that I am just one piece of a gigantic puzzle. Everything does not rise or fall with me or my abilities, it rises or falls depending upon whether we are each doing our part for the greater good. There are literally millions of believers throughout this world and they are from many different nations, they have many different colours of skin, they speak many different languages and belong to many different denominations. YHVH has put together a mosaic of people who, working together, will fulfil the vision that He has for His church. My and your part in the vision is realizing that we are part of the whole and that our own personal application of YHVH’s vision, combined with that of others on our faith-based social media platforms and millions of others throughout the world will manifest itself in an unstoppable force called the Body of Yeshua Moshiach. What I and you must do, is realize what piece of the puzzle YHVH has called me to be and place myself in the picture of YHVH’s overall will for His church. Paul said, “We are all one Body in Moshiach, we belong to each other, and each of us needs all the others.” (There is no room for an independent or isolationist spirit)
C. …ENCOURAGE VISION IN OTHERS: I discovered that everything does not rise or fall on me. One of the most important duties that I have as a believer is to encourage the development of vision in other people’s lives. And once that vision is embedded in your very bones, you need to spread it to others around you. If I am encouraging you and you are encouraging others around you and they are encouraging others, we will find ourselves well on the way to renewal. When I did a faith-based social media platform survey a few months back, I was pleased to find out that the vast majority of the truth platforms both understood and agreed with their vision and spreading the Gospel. Many of the platforms are doing a good job of vision casting and encouragement, but I think it is time that we take this thing to the next level. It is encouraging to know that YHVH is leading us to truth faith-based platforms where we can communicate and worship, but what is even more encouraging is knowing that the platforms will be used as a tool where YHVH’s vision for us can be implemented at an even greater level than ever before.
3. WITH MY PARTICIPATION…:
It is one thing to say we believe in YHVH’s vision; it is quite another to participate in the vision that YHVH is giving us. In my years of lecturing and ministry, people that had the most complaints were invariably the people that were the least involved in the work of the ministry. Do you know why that is? Those that sit on the side-lines and do not roll up their sleeves and help to fulfil the vision do not have the ability to focus on what YHVH is doing in our midst. The renewal process involves getting off the side-lines and getting into the game. There are no armchair players allowed on YHVH’s play field. And if I do not participate in YHVH’s plan, I cannot expect to hear a word from YHVH. The coach does not share His plays with those that are not in the game and YHVH does not speak to those that are not willing to help faith-based platforms fulfil His vision. If you are not feeling renewed in your spiritual walk today, perhaps it is because you have been standing on the side-lines for too long. The problem that we sometimes have is that we end up with a few people doing all the work for the many that do not want to get involved. My challenge for those of you that are not participating in spreading the Gospel is to start doing so today; it is not right for you to depend on everyone else to always be ministering for you, you need to do your part and YHVH expects you to do it. If every single person in the church would find his or her area of ministry and do their best at it, we would see renewal take place like we cannot even imagine. With each of us participating, four things will happen.
A.) …THE TRUTHFUL FAITH-BASED PLATFORMS WILL GROW SPIRITUALLY: Part of the great commission that Yeshua gave involves continued spiritual growth. We are not only called to win people to Moshiach, but to disciple and teach them. When you are doing your part and I am doing my part, the result is a group of fully dedicated disciples that are growing in their spiritual walk with Adonai. This stuff becomes contagious when we join together with YHVH’s vision.
B. …THE TRUTHFUL FAITH-BASED PLATFORMS WILL GROW NUMERICALLY: It is YHVH’s vision that all faith-based groups grow numerically. Over and over again throughout the book of Acts YHVH records for us the numerical growth of the church. I always find it kind of ironic when people say they prefer small faith-based platforms, because they cannot find any platform like that in the Bible! The faith-based platforms that are in tune with YHVH is growing, in fact if a faith-based platform is not experiencing numerical growth there has to be something wrong. With each one of us participating, this will happen.
C. …THE TRUTHFUL FAITH-BASED PLATFORMS WILL GROW FINANCIALLY: It is impossible to experience spiritual renewal if we are not giving financially to YHVH’s work to cover the high costs of the internet. As each person contributes as YHVH has instructed, the platforms will be blessed as a whole and each individual will also be blessed. This is YHVH’s plan and a part of His vision for the church and when YHVH is behind it we know that is going to work.
D. …THE TRUTHFUL FAITH-BASED PLATFORMS WILL GROW GEOGRAPHICALLY: Part of social media platforms plans are to expand internationally; they want to spread out as far and wide as they can as they implement YHVH’s vision. Perhaps you will be a person that they will ask to help with their new faith-based platforms as a core group and help us to fulfil YHVH’s vision. Yeshua said: “But ye shall receive power, after that Ruach HaKodesh is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.” (Acts 1:8) One of these days He is going to be saying, “You will receive power and will tell people about Me in England, in Africa, in Europe, to your neighbouring countries and beyond.” With your participation and mine, this will happen and we will continually experience the renewal that YHVH has planned for us. It is easy for us to get so wrapped up in plans, finances and programs, that we can lose sight of the vision that started a faith-based social media platform. While we are building a tool, it is a tool and it is not the vision itself. It is simply a means to fulfil the vision that YHVH has given to each one of us. While we must do all the work that is necessary to get the tool built, we cannot and must not lose sight of the fact that YHVH has called us to something much greater than just build a faith-based platform. YHVH has called us, all of us, to fulfil the dream that He has placed in our hearts to win people to Moshiach and to disciple them to maturity. If you do not dream that dream on a regular basis, you are in need of personal renewal and YHVH will give it to you, if you simply follow the steps above.
