This blog post that I am going to share is of utmost importance right now in our time, especially with our young men and women in Messiah. There is a large falling away in Belief from the parents to the children in part because we ourselves don't take control and LEARN. Our parents are supposed to help us grow, not grow for us. We must have our own faith and our own ministry to reach out to others around us. I want to thank Ms. Katty Lyn of FollowingMatthew5:16.com for allowing me to post this up. May YHVH bless you and may we learn to be ONE people with ONE voice!

My heart really desires for the youth/young adults, the people of our generation, to come together as disciples of the Word and edify one another. This has been on my mind more than ever, lately. It isn't enough to passively understand YHWH's Truth. It isn't enough that the older generations are learning and sharing wisdom, if we don't do anything with it. We have an obligation to take the lamp and carry it to the next generation. If we don't, nobody else will. No one else can.
I feel like there are a lot of young people who are truly searching, desiring YHWH's Word, and trying to walk this path. But we are so far from each other in our communication. We need to bridge that gap, and bring this generation together in unison. We need to take up our cross, sharpen our swords, and carry the fight to the front lines. But we will all fall if we cannot come together as one, if we are always arguing between each other over the trivialities of our faith.
It's time for us to stand up for what we believe, to own up to who we believe we are. Yahshua died so that the Houses of Judah and Ephraim could be once again made whole, grafted together in His hand as one. We can be made whole. We are required to. But in order to fully become united we must accept each other, our existence, our differences. We must realize that all of Yisrael is one.
We cannot succeed in uniting under His banner if we continue to segregate ourselves according to bloodlines and personal preferences. There will be no Jew and Gentile in His camp. If you believe, if you have chosen the same Elohim, the same Torah, then you are one people. Isaiah 44 says that YHWH's people will call themselves by different names, but they are all the same to Him. They are His.
I believe that our messiah and bridegroom will be returning soon. Before that though, I believe that there are hard times coming. I believe very few will survive this time, relative to the world population. I believe that if the Youth do not aim to follow YHWH, do not have a strong belief in His plan, then it will be a major hindrance to the Camp, and a risk to everyone's physical and spiritual survival through the testing ahead of us. As such, we must succeed in this. We must have that strong foundation. We must get real and unite together under YHWH's banner.
Let's cut the small talk. Let's get to the depths of Torah. Let's learn and glean YHWH's truth together. It's good to talk of homes and hope chests. But if we do not have a good strong foundation beneath our faith, if we are not able to stand up for that, then it's all just straw to be burnt in the fire. So let's get serious about this. Let's work together, let's stand as one, on the foundation of YHWH's truth and deliverance.
The line has been drawn. Each of us must make a decision as to who we choose to obey, where we will stand. I choose to stand with YHWH.
Who among you will join me?
Until next time...
Shalom!
