Yield Now, and Be at Peace

Prepare! This is the word for today – prepare, for something big is coming and there is no stopping it.

How do we prepare? Ask anyone and they will tell you, “Buy gold and silver; they are the only real guarantee that you will be able to purchase necessities soon.” Ah, but what if we have no money now? What if we’ve been living below the poverty level for quite some time… what about us? Do the poor folk have no recourse, in this very dark time? Again I ask, “How do we prepare?”

“Yield now and be at peace with Him; thereby good will come to you. Please receive instruction from His mouth and establish His words in your heart. If you return to the Almighty, you will be restored; if you remove unrighteousness far from your tent, and place your gold in the dust, and the gold of Ophir among the stones of the brooks, then the Almighty will be your gold and choice silver to you. For then you will delight in the Almighty and lift up your face to God. You will pray to Him, and He will hear you; and you will pay your vows. You will also decree a thing, and it will be established for you; and light will shine on your ways. When you are cast down, you will speak with confidence, and the humble person He will save. He will deliver one who is not innocent, and he will be delivered through the cleanness of your hands.” (Job 22:21-30)

I live in the wheat-heart of Oklahoma, where the drought is in its second year. Yesterday’s high of 109 degrees, combined with the humidity of 50% made it feel like 150 degrees here in the heartland. Things dry up quickly in this kind of heat, including the ability to make money. If it were not for the oil fields, I dare say there would be only a handful left out here. The weather conditions today are strikingly similar to those of the 1930’s – you know; during the Dust Bowl.

There are plenty of good-hearted, God-fearing people across the world without access to the resources available to middle-class Americans; what do we tell these people when they ask, “How do WE prepare??” To these people, and to all of the people of Adonai I say, “Return to Him; make Adonai the focus of your day, making sure to observe all that He has commanded and He will keep you safe.” Adonai will be our gold and silver, if we will only observe to do all that is written in His book.

“For behold, darkness will cover the earth and deep darkness the peoples; but the LORD will rise upon you and His glory will appear upon you. Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising.” (Isaiah 60:2-3)

A deep darkness is indeed covering the people of the world, with mass-shootings and vicious attacks on the rise and the glorification of the occult even within our classrooms. The youth of today have no idea just how dark they’ve become because it’s been too long since they’ve seen the light. The psychopaths running the world have convinced us that our light is darkness, hateful to innocent people who are simply trying to have a little fun. The truth is that their darkness is hateful to the real innocent people – the people of God.

It is time for us to arise and shine! We must remove the darkness from our lives and return to Him with our whole heart. We must throw away all of the nonsense we’ve inherited from those who came before by seeking His forgiveness not only for ourselves and our behavior, but for the behavior of our ancestors as well. We need to understand that our words have power and that can be used either negatively or positively; the choice is up to us. Shall we delight in the world and all of its riches, or shall we delight in Yehovah, our Adonai and Savior?

Shake off your slumber, open up the Word of God and receive some fresh oil, for our bridegroom approaches! The time has come to return to the ancient paths, so we can find rest for our souls, for they have been terribly wounded. Turn off the TV and open up Genesis and start at the beginning once again. Allow Adonai to minister to your wounded soul, and remove the curses that have weighed you down, so that the light of His countenance can shine through you. This can only be done by spending quality time alone with Him – on a regular basis.

Tomorrow may be too late! Start today, right now! Put aside time this very day to spend with Yeshua our Messiah, reading His word and telling Him what is on your heart. Repent, for the end is near! Confess your sins daily and He will begin a cleaning process that will truly make you white as snow, and then you will be able to shine forth in this dark world. Arise! Our time has come! Throw off this present darkness and allow the Sun of Righteousness to shine His light upon you!
