Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, in proportion to our faith; if service, in our serving; the one who teaches, in his teaching...
Romans 12:6-7
I firmly believe that everyone is happier when they know who they are intended to be and embrace it. Discover who God has made you to be and then be that, not who you wish he had made you to be.
Besides, envying someone else's place in the Kingdom is a violation of the tenth commandment: “You shall not covet... anything that is your neighbor's.”
For as in one body we have many members, and the members do not all have the same function, so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another.
Romans 12:4-5
Feet are useless without knees, fingers without wrists, and vice versa. What good is a knee without everything lower? They don't make good feet. Shepherds are useless without flocks and flocks are useless without shepherds. Everyone has a role in God's kingdom and no one can fill every role.
If you are offended by what I am saying then I am in the right place. If I cause you to go confirm what I am saying then your brain is still working! If you believe 'tomato/tomauto' over the Word then your done moving forward. The mountain climb is to much for you and you are okay with setting up camp amongst the wolves in the valley. You should be offended that I am injured and am still going to push by you to continue to the top. Farming by hand is how Yahshua described the struggle of obtaining Life. The world jumbles everything together. They love to call Yahuah by anything, because they have no respect for Yahuah as the Creator. He is just another idol to them; so His Name can be whatever. We are called to be set-apart, completely, from the nations. All nations includes the pretenders waiving the star of Rempham. And we are all complete hypocrites. To the core so long as we keep even the slightest of ways that cut the slightest of corners of Yahuah's Word. People think that because Yahshua came that things got ridiculously easy. The sovereign following Yahuah meant peace for the nation. Now that it's about the individual, the goodness of your leader means nothing much except for the wellness of your flesh. And your physical action meant more back then, but now your heart is explained as equals. The heart is your flesh and the ruach is your mind. Your actions of the heart must also match the actions of your mind. Which must follow Yahuah's Torah as proof of your belief, or your belief is dead. And you must believe that Yahshua, by the power of Yahuah, can forgive your sins if you earnest turn from them, save your ruach from the second death. Sin is breaking if Yahuah's Torah. If you don't know Yahuah's Torah then you will not understand the Second Writings no matter how much you play your commentary games bouncing between languages to fit in.
For by the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith that God has assigned.
Romans 12:3
We shouldn't think of ourselves either more highly or lowly than we are. We should simply think of ourselves less and of Yeshua more. Although he expects us to improve on the raw material he has given, we are whom he has made us to be without regard to any effort or merit of ours. God creates people to be pastors, teachers, administrators, encouragers, givers and receivers of charity. All are necessary for the kingdom and none has any right to pride.
So Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. Pilate said to them, “Behold the man!”
John 19:5
After having been flogged and abused by the soldiers, Yeshua would have made an extraordinarily humble picture. Pilate was mocking Yeshua's accusers for their apparently ridiculous charges as much as he was mocking Yeshua himself. Even when he said "take him yourselves and execute him", he was mocking them. Everyone knew they had already tried and failed, though they had no authority to execute anyone.
And the soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on his head and arrayed him in a purple robe.
John 19:2
Israel's kings probably wore crowns and rich robes, but that was only out of pride. The High Priest was commanded to wear them. In mocking Yeshua as a king, the soldiers unintentionally mimicked the High Priest's garments.
By the partnership, do I mean being a part of Yeshua's Body by faith?
2024:3:12:GG
Yes indeed, as it is written, “the God set forth [Yeshua] [to be] (an)_atonement_(sacrifice), [effective] through THE FAITH, by_means_of his blood” (Roman 3:25 EMPHASIS MINE THROUGHOUT).
And it is not through just any ‘faith’ that one might have in or about Yeshua, but it says ‘THE FAITH’ -a specific faithfulness, a specific allegiance which was possessed by Yeshua's apostles and the first disciples, whose stories and beliefs and books we are privileged to read in the Bible.
This specific FAITH, through which the blood of Yeshua provides ongoing cleansing from sin is one with A CERTAIN PARTNERSHIP with the Father, with the Son AND WITH EACH OTHER, as it is written,
“which we_have_seen and we_have_heard we_are_announcing to_you also, so_that ye also may_be_POSSESSING (AN)_AGREED_PARTNERSHIP WITH US: yea, and the agreed_partnership -OUR (AGREED PARTNERSHIP)- [is] with the Father, and with his Son Yeshu` Anointed:...if we_be_walking in the light, as he is_being in the light, we_are_POSSESSING (AN)_AGREED_PARTNERSHIP ONE WITH_ANOTHER, AND THE BLOOD OF YESHU` HIS SON IS_CLEANSING US FROM ALL SIN.” (1 John 1:3,7)
They who are IN THIS PARTNERSHIP are called ‘BROTHERS’ (and ‘sisters’ are included) and there are MINIMUM STANDARDS OF REPENTANCE to enter and remain IN THIS PARTNERSHIP, as it is written,
“not to_be_being_mingled_together, if anyone being_named (a)_BROTHER would_be_being (a)_sexual_sinner, or covetous, or (an)_idolater, or (a)_reviler, or (a)_drunkard, or (an)_extortioner; with_the such NOT_EVEN TO_BE_EATING.” (1 Corinthians 5:11)
And also,
“A divisive person after a first and second admonition BE_THOU_REFUSING; knowing that such a one is perverted, and is_sinning, being self-condemned.” (Titus 3:10)
And Yeshua taught us how to maintain these standards, saying,
“IF THY BROTHER SIN, [STEP 1] go, show him his fault between thee and him ALONE: if he hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.
16 But if he hear [thee] not, [STEP 2] take with thee one or two more, that AT THE MOUTH OF TWO WITNESSES OR THREE every word may be established.
17 And if he refuse to hear them, [STEP 3] tell it to THE ASSEMBLY: and if he refuse to hear the assembly also, [STEP 4] let him be to thee as the (one of a) nation and the publican.
18 'Amen, I_am_saying to_you, What things soever ye shall bind ON EARTH shall be bound IN SKY; and what things soever ye shall loose ON EARTH shall be loosed IN SKY.
19 Again I_am_saying to_you, that if two of you shall agree on earth about any VERDICT (about)_which they might ask, it shall be done for them of my Father who is IN SKIES.
20 For where two or three are gathered together for_(the advantage of) my name, there am I in the midst of them.” (Matthew 18:15-20)
And thus, through Yeshua's assembly -הקחל, the εκκλησία, the true ‘Church’- of his “BROTHERS” ON EARTH united in this purity and mutual accountability, Skyly Father יהוה continues His manifestation of HIS WISDOM to the SKYLY BEINGS, as it is written,
“so_that NOW to the PRINCIPALITIES AND THE AUTHORITIES AMONG THE SKYLIES might_be_made_known THROUGH THE ASSEMBLY the manifold WISDOM of_the God,
11 according_to the purpose of the eons which he effectuated in the Anointed Yeshu` our Lord:
12 in whom we_have the boldness and the access in confidence THROUGH THE FAITH of_him.” (Ephesians 3:10-12)
-”THROUGH THE FAITH of_him” which I lay also before you, that WE -UNITED, loving not our SOUL even to DEATH, by the BLOOD OF THE LAMB and the word of our testimony- MIGHT OVERCOME OUR ENEMY in provoking the war of Meekha’el and those IN SKIES who call us “BROTHERS” to oust THE SATANA and his angels FROM THE SKIES for ever, leading to the consummation of all things -the establishment of Skyly Father’s Kingdom ON EARTH, that His will become ON EARTH as IN SKIES, as it is written,
“7 And (a)_war became IN THE SKY: Meekha'el and his messengers going forth to war with THE DRAGON; and the dragon warred and his messengers;
8 and they prevailed not, neither was their place found any more IN THE SKY.
9 And THE GREAT DRAGON was thrown [out], THE OLD SERPENT, he that is called THE SLANDEROUS_ADVERSARY and THE SATANA, the deceiver of the whole inhabited_earth; he was thrown INTO THE EARTH, and his messengers were thrown with him.
10 And I heard a great voice IN THE SKY, saying, NOW is come the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Anointed: for THE ACCUSER of OUR BROTHERS -the_(one) accusing them before our God day and night- was_thrown [out].
11 And they, THEY_OVERCAME HIM because of THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB, and because of the word of their testimony; and they loved not their SOUL even to DEATH.
12 Through this be_ye_ being_gladdened, O SKIES, and ye that tabernacle in them. (A)_lamenting FOR THE EARTH and for the sea: because THE SLANDEROUS_ADVERSARY is gone down to you, having great wrath, having_known that he_is_HAVING [ONLY] (A)_LITTLE TIME.” (Revelation 12:7-12)
So shall it be, amen! (Perhaps even soon!)
By THE PARTNERSHIP, do I mean being a part of Yeshua's Body by THE FAITH??? YES, AMEN.
And Skyly Father YHWH God Almighty has been very good to you to have granted you already to understand many of these things, that now you may understand what He is enabling you to see through this message: that it is not sufficient to be a part of ‘Christianity’ or of a ‘church’/’denomination’/’faction’/’DIVISION’ of your choice, or of ANY man-made religion -and neither is it sufficient to have any ‘faith in Jesus’ of your choosing in your comfort zone which is perishing with this present evil eon- but Skyly Father YHWH God Almighty calls us to “THE FAITH which was once for all delivered to the holy_(ones)” (Jude 3), THE PARTNERSHIP of Yeshu`’s Body.
Friend, will you unite in the agreed partnership of Yeshua's Body? If so, thumb up this message and I will open a chat with another brother or two so that we can check and fill up anything missing, and confirm you (and you us) in the partnership of Yeshua’s One Body.

Psalm 37:21, “The wicked borrow and do not repay, but the righteous are gracious and giving.” David compares the very hearts of the righteous and the wicked. The wicked are selfish, desiring only to satisfy themselves at the cost of others. The righteous are compassionate and choose to benefit the others around them.
