We Did This
(#093 from Suffer Well Devotional Series?)
You have learned about patterns throughout your devotion time. The patterns of Yahweh are perfect every time. They are always meant to bless you, always meant to advance. They are always righteous even when enacting judgment.
But, what about you? What about us? What about the patterns of man (ego)? Think about the patterns that pass from generation to generation. Consider the patterns that have us locked in our worlds of pain, even now.
May we explain something to you? May we present the hard fact? Peace, be still; it is a fact that ultimately leads to freedom. Whatever pain you are experiencing, whether from the past or the present, it is caused by the sin of man. Take a deep breath and slow your mind. Take it in. This is a very delicate issue and must be dealt with in the heart of all true believers, so we cannot push it aside any longer. There are no victims in Yahweh's house. We say it again. There are no victims in Yahweh's house.
Let us phrase it this way. Is there any sin that you are not at risk of committing? Can you truly say that you are not capable of the “worst” sins? Could you commit murder, for instance? Yes, you see, it begins in the heart (center of intellect). For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies. (Matthew 15:19) Yes, you have murdered. Adultery? Yes, that too. Fornication, theft, lying, blasphemy, you ponder? If you think it, you have done it. For as he thinks in his heart, so is he (Proverbs 23:7) Yes, read Matthew 5:21-30.
This is the Kingdom of Yahweh. This is how He designed it; a perfect pattern. So, is the thought exactly like the act then? Actually, from a human perspective, in many instances, no. A murderer, who actually takes a human life, will sit in prison as a consequence. One who murders in his heart (yes, still murder), may or may not see a physical prison. But, the bars that surround his conscience, and defile it, will imprison him nonetheless. In Yahweh’s Kingdom (perfect thought and therefore perfect perspective), there is no variation of sin. Sin is sin, and all is forgivable. There is no variation. Be glad! All is forgivable.So what are we saying? None are innocent! A child sinner turns into the adult sinner and sin has consequences. Consequences can be felt by all humans. It is man who creates victims, not Yahweh. Yahweh has no victims in His family. Death is a human experience; there is no death in His Kingdom. Pain is a human experience; there is no pain in His Kingdom. Violence is a human experience; there is no violence in His Kingdom. Do not disengage from this exercise. Do not deny this pattern’s existence. Grieving is necessary, but grieving is of our kingdom, not His. Have this mind in you. “I am capable of the worst sins. This alone opens the door to my pain and the pain of those around me. Disease and death are caused by my sin. I shall sin no more.”This is the mind that steps closer to the goal of perfection, the mind of Yahshua the Messiah (1 Corinthians 2:16). Have this mind in you. Teach it to your children and grandchildren. Whom Yahshua (Yahweh saves) sets free, is free indeed. (John 8:36)
