Evidence of your Slvation
by; Dan’El Fraley
“This is the Way, walk in it”. YeshaYahu/Isaiah 30:21
The beginning of this scripture says; “whenever you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear this command behind you:………..I have a question for you; Do you hear that still voice telling you to stay on the path to salvation? You may say “I’m saved I am automatically on the path, and no matter if I stray off the path, I am forgiven”. That is true, but partially true. Salvation is a walk of faith the rest of your life. If you continually drown out that still small voice with the things of the world, you miss the commandments that teach, protect and bless our walk. We are in the process of salvation, (our unmerited kindness /grace of Yeshua), THROUGH our faith/emunah, which is His gift to us. This results in our desire to be obedient to Him. Our obedience is not what saves us, but is the evidence of our faith/emunah, and evidence that we are being saved. Salvation is not a flue shot or a herdale we jump over and feel we have achieved all we need. Yeshua was and is our Rabbi/teacher and we do not graduate until He calls us home. Yeshua taught His followers TORAH, the Word which is the mind of Yeshua, John 1. The TORAH is His everlasting covenant and simply defines how His bride should behave. This brings us back to the voice pleading for us to stay on the path of obedience. Salvation should bring us a desire to follow His covenant and it was the TORAH/Law/Instructions that brought us to the feet of Yeshua HaMashiach.
Obedience becomes our utmost desire after we give our hearts to Him. We are to serve one another and work towards His Kingdom. We can not do this without His loving and patent guidance which comes from reading His Word and listening to His voice. Turn off the TV, put down the video games and build a relationship with Him. Disobedience is lawlessness, so as you walk down this path of salvation listen and discern the input you receive from reading commentary and listening to preachers that have been taught lies in their seminaries. You can not depend on a denomination, preacher or friend to obtain salvation, it only comes from a relationship with the Savior Yeshua. His “chasid”, unmerited loving kindness, a gift of salvation becomes our faith because we desire to emulate Him. Some preachers will tell you all you need is to believe, not obey. They get this from miss interpretation of Paul in Ephesians 2:8-10. We are not trying to save ourselves by obedience, we obey because we love Him. Jeremiah 31:31 is where we are told of the “New Covenant” and that it will be written on our hearts. Written on our hearts, only means we have a loving desire to fallow TORAH, and not written on stone which means we must submit to the Law. Our atonement has always come from the shedding of blood through sacrifice, lambs in the old covenant sacrificed yearly, and Yeshua took that everlasting sacrifice upon Himself in the New covenant. TORAH never was about salvation or atonement, it was only instructions for a blessed life. If the children of Israel were obedient, they were blessed and they were cursed or chastened if they did not obey. They were slaves to the Law. We who are under the renewed covenant, are not slaves to the Law, but have a desire in our Heart to be obedient to show our love for what Yeshua did up on the cross. In the last days their is a remnant that obeys (the TORAH) and believes in Yeshua HaMashiach.
“And the dragon was enraged with the woman,
and he went to fight with the reminant of her seed,
those guarding the commands of Adoni
AND
possessing the witness of Yeshua HaMashiach.”
sra’el, will be blessed and those who curse Isra’el will be cursed”. I have heard and learned this biblical saying many times growing up even when I didn’t know a thing about Isra’el, and now that I do know about Isra’el I ask nothing but divine blessing. Yet I see on t.v. on most media channels how so many curse them, even our own country. The Hamas who have no country of their own is being played as a pawn by all the middle east countries and Russia. They want nothing more than the complete extermination of this beautiful people and it really sickens me both physically and spiritually. They cry unfair and the major players in the game such as the U.S. and England as well as the U.N. come in and tells Isra’el to give up more land to this group in hopes that it will satisfy them. Yet what it does is get the Hamas closer to its goal which is the extreme annihilation of Isra’el. They send in suicide bombers to kill and maim as many Israeli es as they can. Our own President Bush is forcing Ehud Olmert to give up even more land, this must end. Isra’el has strived for 60 years to be fully recognized as a nation. America has always been such a good supporter of this right since the beginning. Yet we fail every time that we force Isra’el to give up more land. Every time we get on the wrong side of the bargaining table America suffers, we don’t have to look very hard, just remember hurricane Katrina, have we yet cleaned up? We must not forget that we are at war with ”terrorists” and not with Isra’el. Do we not remember 9/11 2001 when nineteen hijacking terrorists took down three jetliners in to designated targets that the middle east demanded them to. I want you to remember the name “sunni” because they are the major financiers of this push, you might not know them personally but if you have ever bought oil then you know who they are. What if the 9/11 terrorists went about it as they do in Isra’el demanding land in exchange for peace, until there was no more U.S. Or better yet made concessions to Canada and Mexico that they would like to have land in the U.S. that they considered belong to them? What if the shoe were on the other foot, in other words if we switched roles with Isra’el what would we think then? Isra’el has always been an awesome supporter and ally with America never have they turned their back on us. Yet here we are making deals with Hamas and the Sunni’s, and stabbing Isra’el in the heart. If we were taught the true history of the birth of this nation back during the time that we were breaking away from Brittan, the Revolutionary War, we would see that a certain Jewish man went to some of his people and secured money to finance this war. I am not sure of the mans name, but the proof is right on the back of our one dollar bill. If you look above the head of the eagle you will notice thirteen stars in the shape of the Jewish star. It was put there as a memorial to this great people who helped us become who we are today. God as well blessed us for our endeavor in this great adventure of becoming a nation of Judeo/Christian values,and morals. What you need to remember is that Isra’el wasn’t even a nation yet, but they still blessed us. And now they need our help, and we as people of the Bible should stand firm with Isra’el in this resolve that they too become what we dreamed and achieved with the help of Isra’el. They want nothing more than to be free from oppression that surrounds them, free to breath and move around without fear of an attack. They blessed us so I think we should bless them. Write to your Senators, Congressman, even the President do what ever you can to help out Isra’el. What disasters we see in America from flooding in the mid-west to the still destroyed Gulf coast is all due in part to our wrong involvement in the affairs of Isra’el. You can even say that what is happening in our schools and colleges are not only a direct result of this but also the pushing out of God. We have squeezed God out and secularist have replaced this void. They teach untruth and anti-semitism. If we don’t do something soon there might not be an America to call home. We must live by our morals and convictions, and not our pocketbooks. We must stop sleeping with the enemy(sunni’s/ Hamas) and start thinking about the future of this country by protecting our brothers and sisters in Isra’el.Let us throw off this deception that plagues us and take a firm stand in what we believe in. Please stand with Isra’el and let the world know that we are not going to back down until our older brother Isra’el is given fair ear in this matter. I am so tired of hearing how Isra’el is the instigator of what the Hamas is doing. Hamas is the ones that are killing and all our brothers and sisters are doing is protecting what little they still have. Let us quit tying their hands and selling them off for what ever interests that suits our fancy (oil/ sunnis’) Isra’el has the power to bless and to curse, and our best “interests” should be right along with Isra’el. The world hates the U.S. and Isra’el and yet we would rather give ear to the devil (sunnis’/ Hamas) then listen to what Gods’ chosen would have to say. If America doesn’t side with Isra’el then we are destined to a very rude and bloody awakening. If our forefathers could see us now they would probably pack up their belongings forget the constitution and return home. Long live Yeshua the King and long live the blessed people of Isra’el.
