I Used To Back Into Things With My Vehicle.  For Me, The Final Straw Was When I Backed Into Our New House Garage After Only Living There For 4-8 Weeks And Hit The Side Of The Garage Entrance.  What Was Frustrating Is That When It Comes To Driving Forward, I Am Like A NASCAR Race Car Driver And I Have Seen My Own Quick Reflexes In Action When More Than Once Someone Has Cut Into My Lane Right On Top Of Me, (Not Realizing That I Was There).

Folks Say I Make A Great Carrot Cake, But After Making It I Realize There Is So Much Sugar In That Cake, That It Would Seem That This Cake Is Not So Healthy For Them.  But, I Make It For Them When They Request One, Because A Desire Fulfilled Is A Tree Of Life And That Is Better For Them If They Eat In Moderation Than Me Scolding Them Repeatedly For Eating Wrong~!

In The Same Manner, According To The Hebrews 3:1, Yahoshua Is The High Priest Of Our Confession, (He Gives Us Exactly What We Are Ordering With Our ‘Mouth’).  It’s Like If We Say Things That Yahweh Knows That Are Not Really Good For Us, He Just Says Nothing.  Yahweh Doesn’t Interfere With Our Free Will., {My People Perish For A Lack Of Knowledge, (Hosea 4:6)}.  So, Just Like Me Saying That I Was A Terrible Backer  Yahweh Like That Condition Exist As Yahoshua Was Being The High Priest Of Precisely What I Was Saying, I Was Having What I Was Saying And So, I Was A Terrible Backer.  But, I Didn’t Like The Results Of What I Had Been Saying.  So, I Changed What I Was Saying and Now I Can Back A Vehicle Very Well.

How Do We Hold Fast The Confession Of Our Faith?   First, Examine That The Word Profession / Confession As It Is The Same Greek Word For Both Words, (Strong’s Concordance #NT:3671); Translated Differently Into Two English Words, But The Same Word In The Greek / Aramaic Studies.  Most Modern Translations Will Translate This As Confession.  The Same Word For Profession Is Used In Both In Hebrews 10:23 & 1 Timothy 6:12-13 Where Yahoshua Who In His Testimony Before Pontius Pilate Made The Good Confession.  This Same Word Is Used In Other Places In The Scriptures As Well Such As

(Hebrews 3:1: 4:14; 10:23; 2 Corinthians 9:13; 1 Timothy 6:12-13)

Therefore, Holy Brothers, Partakers Of A Heavenly Calling, Consider The Apostle And High Priest Of Our Confession, (Hebrews 3:1).  Hebrews 3:1 & Hebrews 4:14 Also Uses This Word Profession / Confession And Vine’s Expository Dictionary Of New Testament Words Says This Word Means:, “To Say or To Speak The Same Thing”.  The Same Thing As What?, “To Say The Same Thing As What Yahweh Says”.  Yahoshua Is The High Priest And Apostle Of Our Confession; Or It Could Also Read Yahoshua Is The High Priest And Apostle Of Our “Speaking The Same Thing”.

Hebrews 10:22-23 ~ Let Us Draw Near With A True Heart In Full Assurance Of Faith, Having Our Hearts Sprinkled From An Evil Conscience And Our Bodies Washed With Pure Water.  Let Us Hold Fast The PROFESSION / CONFESSION Of Our Faith, {To Say With Your ‘Mouth’ ~ What One Confesses, [Professes]}, Of Our Hope Without Wavering, For He Who Promised Is Faithful~!

If You’ve Stated That Yahoshua Is Your Lord, Romans 10:9-10; Did You Do It Through A Profession Of Faith?

Mark 11:23
²³ For Assuredly, “I Say To You”, Whoever SAYS To This Mountain, ‘Be Removed And Be Cast Into The Sea,’ And Does Not Doubt In Their HEART, But Believes That Those Things You SAY Will Be Done, “You Will Have What You Say~!”

While, Through The Proof Of This Ministry, They Glorify God For The Obedience Of Your Confession, (What We ‘Say With Our MOUTH’), “To The Good News”, {“The Gospel”} Of Christ And For The Generosity Of Your Contribution To Them And To All, (2 Corinthians 9:13).  The Word Gospel, (G2098); Means ‘Glad Tidings’ or ‘Good News’.   What Is The ‘Glad Tidings’ or ‘Good News’?  What Will Make Folks Trapped In Bondage Rejoice With A Shout?  What Will Make The Person Indebted Up To Their Eyeballs Glad?  What Will Make The Blind Person, or The Person Who Has Lost Sight Of Yahweh’s Plans For Them Whoop For Joy?  What Would Be The Glad Tidings To Someone That Is Constantly Oppressed And Put Down?  Isaiah 61:1-3; Luke 4:18-19 Outlines Exactly What Is This Good News~!  ¹⁸ To Preach The Gospel To The Poor; He Has Sent Me To Heal The BrokenHearted, To Proclaim Liberty To The Captives And Recovery Of Sight To The Blind, To Set At Liberty Those Who Are Oppressed; ¹⁹ To Proclaim The Acceptable Year Of The Lord.

Preach, Set At Liberty, Proclaim & Confession All Have To Do With Our Mouth, And So Does Set At Liberty, (Declaring Parole).

What Is Good News To The Poor?  That They Don’t Have To Be Poor No More.
How Do You Heal The BrokenHearted?  The Joy Of Their Salvation Is Restored.
What Is Good News To The Captives?  They Have Liberty And Are Delivered & Free From Their Bondages / Addictions, (Porn, Drugs, Smoking, Overeating, Eating Sweets, Gambling, TV, Puzzles, Card Games, Excesses, A Detainment or Entertainment {or That Which Keeps Your From Entering In To The Presence Of Yahweh}).

What Is Recovery Of Sight To The Blind?  They Are Healed And / or Their Vision & Purpose Is Restored.  What Is The Acceptable Year Of The Lord?  We Don’t Have To Wait Any Longer.  Now Is The Time~!  Today Is The Day Of Salvation, (2 Corinthians 6:2).

Well, I Had Paid For That Cell Phone, And I Am A Tither, And One Of The Promises To Me As A Tither Is That, “I Will Rebuke The Devourer For Your Sakes”, (Malachi 3:11).  The Cell Phone Was Stolen.  But I Was So Convinced That We Would Recover It, That I Called The Emergency Room Twice To Have Them Search For It.

I Tried To Stand On The Word, But I Was Faltering, As I Only Had About 91% Faith And I Called My Brother, {And He Might Have Had Only 94% Belief}, But Together, (Matthew 18:19), It Was More Than Enough To Believe That Yahweh Would Do What He Said That He Would Do In His Word.

We Stood On The Word And Yahweh Impressed Mom To Tell Me To Block Services To That Cell Phone, And I Obeyed, (Important And Interesting That The Word Did Not Come To Me Directly), And Important That I Received My Mom’s Word As A Word From Yahweh And Obeyed.  Within A Matter Of Hours, A Wealthy Woman From DownTown Called And Said She Found The Cell Phone In Her Front Yard In The Grass.

Apparently, The Thief Had Been Using The Cell Phone, But When Service Was Interrupted, They Probably Just Tossed The Phone Out The Window Of Their Vehicle.  After My Mom Got Her Cell Phone Back, The Service Was Restored And We Didn’t Lose The Cell Phone~!

How Did This Come About?  Because, We Stood On The Word Of Yahweh, Even When Circumstances Looked Futile And Hopeless, And We Voiced It With Our ‘Mouth’ Out Loud.

Tomorrow—And Every Other Day Of Your Life On This Earth…d—Evil One Is Going To Try To Convince You That You Don’t Have Any Right To The Things Of Yahweh.  He’s Going To Try To Bring You Into Bondage Again To Sin In Order To Control Your Life.  But He Won’t Be Able To Do It If You’ll Re-Awaken Yourself Every Day To Who You Really Are In Yahoshua, {Jesus}, (Ephesians 1:3; Colossians 1:12-14; 2 Peter 1:4).

If I Had Said, “Well, I Guess That Cell Phone Is Lost, And We’ll Just Have To Buy Another One”, Then It Would Never Have Been Returned.  The Light Is On~!  Believe It And Receive It~!  Mark 11:24 ~ “Therefore I Say To You, Whatever Things You Ask When You Pray, Believe That You Receive Them, And You Will Have Them”.

Yahweh Is Not Moved By Our Need, {Actually Yahweh Was Moved By Our Need and He Has Already Met All Our Needs In Christ, (Philippians 4:19); When Yahoshua Went To The Cross For Us}, But Limited Because He Has No Legal Right To Help Us As d—Evil One Is The God Of This World, (2 Corinthians 4:4).  Until We Act By Faith There Is Nothing That The Angels Can Work With, Psalm 103:20-21, And Faith Always Works The Same Way By Believing In Our Hearts And Coming Out Of Our ‘Mouth’, (Romans 10:9-10).  Let Me Tell You A True Story Of What Happened To Us In Atlanta, Georgia Back Around 1982 As We Overcome By The Blood Of The Lamb, And Also By The Word Of Our Testimony, (Revelation 12:11)~!  We Moved To Atlanta Because I Had Been Told That I Had A Job As An Insurance Claims Adjuster With A Certain Company.  But, After I Moved There, They Told Me That Their Corporate HeadQuarters Had Frozen All Jobs, And That I Did Not Have A Job, And They Hoped That I Hadn’t Moved There.  But I Had Moved There.  Now, I Needed To Find A Job Fast As Bills Were Still Coming In, {Including The Moving Expenses~!)

So, I Went Job Hunting Driving All Over The Atlanta Metro Area Using The I-285 Loop To Cover A Very Large Amount Of Territory, I Would Be At The Fulton Industrial Park On One Day On The WestSide Of Atlanta Near The Charlie Brown Airport And On The East Side Near Stone Mountain The Next Day And Then Down South Towards Forest Park or College Park The Next, or At Midtown or DownTown And Then Back Up North Near Perimeter Mall, And (Hwy 400 Had Not Been Built At That Time).  Lots Of Traveling~!  Plus I Would Have To Drive Around Looking For An Address, (No GPS Back Then), So I Might Miss It And Have To Drive Around A Bit, Especially When The Job Was In An Office Building DownTown Atlanta And I Had To Also Find A Parking Space.  Then I Went Through A 3-Day Process With 234 Other Applicants And Finally Was Delighted That I Was 1 Of The 12 Finalist That Would Get Hired In Sales, And Then Finally I Was 1 Out Of 3, And Then I Was The Winner, Only To Discover It Was A Sham, And That We Would Be Selling From The Back Of Our Cars In A Shopping Center, And If The Police Came, We Were Told To Run.  Yikes~!  I Did Not Take ThAT JOB~!~!!!  But, Now I’m Back To Square One On The Job Search.

It Had Taken Me 45 Minutes To Get To That Job Interview And 45 Minutes To Come Home Each Day For This 3-Day Weeding Out Period.  There Was No Internet Back Then, And Computers Were Very Large.  I Later Got Hired By Wells Fargo, And Initially I Had Turned This Job Down Because I Thought The Minimum Wage Pay, ($3.25 per Hour), Was Too Low To Live On And I Would Be Guarding A Wal*Mart Parking Lot, (Wal*Mart’s Were Brand New Then).  But When I Said To Yahweh That No One Was Hiring Me, He Reminded Me Of This Job Offer At Wells Fargo, (Umph, Thoughts To Ponder, Why Does Yahweh Want Me To Have This Low Paying Job); And So I Was In The Process Of Calling Them Back To Ask Them If The Job Was Still Available, But Before I Could Pick Up The Phone, The Phone Rang; And It Was The Colonel At Wells Fargo That I Had Interviewed With Earlier.  So, I Immediately Told The Colonel Before He Had A Chance To Talk, That I’d Take This Job If It Was Still Available.  He Said, “No, That Job Had Been Filled”, But That Another Job Had Come Open That Paid $4.56 An Hour And That I Was The One That They Had Hoped To Get This Position And That’s Why They Were Calling Me And That He Had Hoped To Start Me Out With The Other Assignment First And He Wasn’t Sure That This Position Would Be Available, But Then If They Got The Contract To Move Me Into This Job~!  So, I Accepted The Offer.

But, For This Job, I Had To Take The Bus To Work Everyday From Sandy Springs, GA, To Downtown, Atlanta As My Wife And I Only Had One Car And I Would Take Her To Work, Then Start Work Everyday, Then Pick Her Up In The Evenings.  It Was A 45 Minute Drive To DownTown Atlanta, And I Had To Catch The Bus At 1:30 pm Based On The Bus Schedule, To Get To Work By 3 pm, (Until 11 pm), And My Wife Would Have To Drive Every Night To Pick Me Up.  And At The Same Time, I Was Trying To Get A College Degree By Going To The Local Community College, (So, We Didn’t Get Much Sleep).  But, Everyday, As I Rode The Bus, I Would Read My Bible On The Way, (To Kill Two Birds At Once).  And I Was Dressed In A Wells Fargo Security Guard Uniform In Bright Blue With Black Pocket Covers, {Actually, A Very Sharp And Impressive Looking Uniform}, And When I Got To Work I Had To Holster A Sidearm And Make Rounds In This `15 Story Bank Headquarters Building Once An Hour And There Were The Bank Employees Working On The Night Shift And Ride The Elevators With These New College Graduates, (Sort Of Degrading As They Were All Young College Graduates My Age or Younger, But Because I Was Poor, I Went Into The Navy First, And I Had Not Finished College Yet And I Was Four Years Older Than Them, And They Had Gotten Further Along The Path Of Success Than Me, A “Rent-A-Cop”).

But Every Single Day Without Fail, {While On The Bus, I Wore A Light Jacket To Hide Most Of My Uniform}, I Never Got To Read My Bible Without Someone Interrupting Me, And Saying, “Hey, Are You Reading The Bible?”, And I Would Say “Yes”, And They Would Say, “Tell Me What It’s Saying?”  So, Every Single Day, I Would Just Read The Bible Out Loud And Then Explain What I Just Read, And Everybody On The Bus Was Listening~!  If I Looked Up At The Other OnLookers, They Would Look Down And Turn Away As If They Weren’t Paying Much Attention To Me.  So, I Learned To Never Look Up At Them, {Other Than To Make Eye Contact With The Person That First Inquired}, As I Knew The Whole Bus Was Listening, And I Just Read To Them The Stories Of David And Goliath, And Jonathan, And Esther, And Ruth And Samuel.  I Mention This, Because It Wasn’t Obvious To Me Then That, “A Person’s Gift Makes Room For Them, And Brings Them Into The Presence Of Great / Important / Influential People”, (Proverbs 18:16), Although I Was Trying Hard To Just Read My Bible On The Way To Work, “My Calling Was Calling Me”, (I Had Been Called To Preach And Inside Of Me, I Felt Impressed Of This Since I Had Been About 11 or 12, But Since My Father Was A Preacher, I Thought Maybe, I Was Just Wanting To Follow In His Footsteps Of My Own Accord).

Working At Wells Fargo, I Worked DownTown Atlanta, In A The Large Headquarters For A Major Bank But Remotely From The Branches, {For Safety}.  Using A Big COMSEC Computer For All The Branches Of A Particular Large Bank From This Central Computer That Monitored All Entrances And Exits Of The Branch Including Janitorial Staff And Of Their The Folks Replacing Money In Their Adjoining ATM, {Low Pay, But Huge Responsibility As I Would Have To Guard The Guys That Put Money In The ATM’s And They Would Radio Codes If They Were In Trouble And I Would Have To Call The Police In And The FBI}.  Next To Our Office Was Such A Giant Computer That It Filled Up A 90’ x 65’ Room, (No Joke), And Had To Be Kept Very Cold With A Raised Floor, And It Still Used Reel To Reel Tapes.

However, Before This Wells Fargo Job Came I Used Up $969 In Gas On Debt From A National Known Gasoline Company Credit Card Within 3 Months Just Buying Gasoline For My Car While Going All Over Atlanta Looking For A Job, And I Had No Money To Pay This Bill~!  I’ll Get Back To That Story In A Few Paragraphs.

So, We Ran Out Of Money And Ran Out Of Groceries.  So, I Had To Make A Choice, Would We Eat or Pay Bills?  I Told My Wife That Yahweh Would Supply ALL My Needs, (I Didn’t Know Then That He Would Also Supply ALL My Wants And Desires As Well, (Psalm 37:4).  (That’s Just Where I Was.  I Was Walking It Out As You Might Be Now, Proving The Scriptures Out For Yourself That Yahweh Will Supply ALL Our Needs).

(Philippians 4:19; Psalm 35:27; Psalm 37:4; Psalm 118:25; Deuteronomy 8:18; Isaiah 1:19; Isaiah 45:3; Malachi 3:10-11)

So, I Told My Wife That We Would Pay The Light Bills, And Not Buy Food; As I Saw Food As A Need And Yahweh Said That He WOULD Supply ALL My Needs,  (Philippians 4:19).  We Had A Large Freezer, {3 Feet High By 4 Feet Wide And 2.5 Feet Deep}, But Only Empty Milk Jugs Filled With Water As I Had Heard That Would Use Up Less Energy.  On The Top Layer Of The Milk Cartons Was Cardboard And About 5” Clearance, With One Package Of Pork Chops On It.

We Tithed, {Gave A Tenth Of Our Money To The Local Church ~

(Genesis 14:20; Genesis 28:22 Leviticus 27:30,32 Deuteronomy 26:12-13; Malachi 3:9-12)}.

I Grabbed The Last Package Of Pork Chop, And We Cooked And Ate It.

Malachi 3:10-11
¹⁰ “Bring The Whole Tithe Into The Store-House, That There May Be Food In My House, And Test Me Now In This, ‘Says ‘Yahweh Of Hosts’, If, “I Will” Not Open You The Windows Of Heaven, And Pour You Out A Blessing, That There Shall Not Be Room Enough For.  ¹¹ “I Will” Rebuke The Devourer For Your Sakes, And He Shall Not Destroy The Fruits Of Your Ground; Neither Shall Your Vine Cast Its Fruit Before Its Time In The Field”, Says ‘Yahweh Of Hosts’ ,  “And All Nations Will Call You Blessed, For You Will Be A Delightful Land’, Says , Says ‘Yahweh Of Hosts’ ”. (WEB).

Was One Of My Benefits, That He Would Rebuke The Devourer For My Sake?  (Interestingly Enough, Not For His Sake).

I Wanted To Let This Bill Collector From The Gas Credit Card Know How God Had Supplied Our Need.  I Thought She Would Be Converted.  So, I Called And They Connected Me To This Same Woman In The Credit Department At The Gasoline Company, And I Told Her That The Youth Group Felt We Should Be Given Some Money, And That They Advised Me, $600 Was To For Bills And In Fact One Of The Youth Felt Like It Was To Pay For Just One Particular Bill.  Instead Of Being Happy For Us, This Just Infuriated Her.  So, She Said The Complete Balance Of $369 Must Be Paid In 4 Days~!  I Laughed Out Loud At Her, And Said If Yahweh Can Do It Once, He Will Do It Again~!  {Because I Am A Tither, (Read The Benefits Package At Malachi 3:10-11)}.

Oh, She Was Livid, And Made It Known That This Was No Laughing Matter. And That This Bill Had To Be Paid or She Would Call The Sheriff On Me, [It Doesn’t Seem Right To Me To Have Just Now Paid $600 Of $969.00 And Then Be Told That I Now Have Only 4 Days To Get The Rest In or She Would Call The Sheriff On Me, But I Didn’t Argue With Her.  I Just Said, “That’s Quite Alright~!  Yahweh Will Get The Money To Me Because I Am A Tither; And Yahweh Said That He Would Take Care Of ALL My Needs~!” (Philippians 4:19).  She Was Furious And Hung Up On Me, (Again).  Yahweh Is The “CareTaker”, “So I Allowed Him To Take All My Care~!”

I Expected The Money To Come In, But I Didn’t Know How.  I Was Out Of Money, And Couldn’t Use The Gas Credit Card Anymore To Get Gas To Look For A Job So, Instead I Was Calling Folks For Job Interviews.  So, I Was Very Surprised When The Same Youth Pastor Rang My Doorbell In About Two Days, And Said They Prayed And Felt That They Did Not Give Us Enough Money The First Time And We Should Get Another $569, And Two Hundred Was For Food And The Rest To Pay Off A Bill~! That’s $369, The Exact Amount Needed To Pay Off The Gasoline Company~!

Of Course, I Called The Gasoline Company And Talked To This Same Woman, And I Made Sure That I Told Her That Yahweh Did Supply ALL My Needs According To His Riches In Glory, {And He’s Got Golden Streets In Glory}, Just As His Word Said That He Would, And Gave Yahweh The Glory~!  I Closed The Gasoline Company Account With Her Right Then And Never Opened It Again.  She Huffed Off The Phone.  Obviously, She Had A Problem Believing Yahweh; NotWithstanding, You Can Be Sure Of This, That The Kingdom Of Yahweh Come Near Her; And That She Could Not Deny; And She Missed The Love Of Yahweh Because She Would Not Receive, (Luke 10:11), {Perhaps Her Father Was Cruel And An Alcoholic And Spent All The Family Money On Booze].  We Were 25 Years Old At That Time.

It Was At This Time That The Pork Chops Mysteriously Showed Up.  Here Is Just A Bonus, But I Want You To Make A Journal.  When I Was In The Navy, Someone Said To Us On Our Way To The Philippines, “I Have Stories That You Won’t Believe, But You’ll Come Back With Stories Greater Than Mine”.  That Turned Out To Be Very True, And The Same Goes For You~!  I’ll Spare You These Navy Stories, But They Surpassed My Expectations By Far~!

But, That’s Not Why I Am Encouraging You To Write Down What Yahweh Has Done For You.  One Day, You’ll Be Older, And Then Even Old, And You Just Won’t Believe How Much Encouragement To You It Will Be To Re-Visit In Your Mind The Things That Yahweh Did For As You Sojourned In This Life, (Read Them Over And Over Again, Like Make A Special Time Every Month On A Certain Date or Once A Quarter or On Your Birthday To Read All or A Portion Of Your Journey With Yahweh).  I Am Still Astounded At How Yahweh Multiplied Our Pork Chops, And Sent The Youth Pastor To Our Home Twice To Give Us Money~!  Such An Encouragement All These Years Later~!

This Youth Pastor Was An Older Man, {Like 43 Years Old}, And Said That He Missed God Early On And Didn’t Want To Work In A Church And Not Make Much Money.  But He Finally Yielded, And Became A Youth Pastor And My Family Would Have Missed Out Had He Not Just Done What Yahweh Told Him To Do.  He Said That Some Folks Aspired To Be A Youth Pastor Only As A Stepping Stone To Becoming The Senior Pastor, But Not Him.  He Wanted To Be A Youth Pastor all Of His Life, And That Really Spoke To Me Because I Think He Was Like A Junior High School Teacher In His Previous Station And He Would Be Out Of Place Teaching At A College, 1 Corinthians 12:18 Came To My Mind About “How Yahweh Has Placed And Arranged The Parts In The Body, Each One Of Them, Just As He Willed And Saw Fit [With The Best Balance Of Function]”.  Not Only That, This Man Became The Youth Pastor Of Sandy Springs Baptist Church Where The Rich And Affluent Went To Church And The Youth Drove Lamborghinis And Porches, And He Told Me He Was Paid Well Over What He Was Making In The Secular World, (And That Testimony Still Ministers And Resounds In My Heart To This Day).  Also Noteworthy, This Is Where Yahweh Told Me To Take My Wife To Church, And The First Day We Felt So Poor And They Were So Rich, That We Didn’t Want To Continue To Go There.  But The Holy Ghost Told Us To Stay.  So, Glad That We Did. I Used To Hobnob With The Pitcher Of The Atlanta Braves And Even Though I Obtained A Job As A Security Guard Wells Fargo, We Got Along Great~!  I Met Many Great And Influential Folks There And We Got Our Needs Met To Boot~!

Psalm 50:23 ~ Whoever Offers The Sacrifice Of Thanksgiving Glorifies Me; And To Them That Orders Their Conversation^§†§ Aright Will I Show The Salvation Of Yahweh.

(Matthew 12:34-37; Matthew 15:10-11; Mark 7:14-15; Luke 6:44-45; James 3:2-13).

It’s The Same Way For Everything, {Healing, Finances, Salvation, Deliverance From Additive Habits}.  It’s The Way You Got Saved~!

Deuteronomy 30:11-19; Romans 10:6-10
⁶ But The Righteousness Of Faith Speaks In This Way, “Do Not Say In Your Heart, ‘Who Will Ascend Into Heaven?’” (That Is, To Bring Christ Down From Above).  ⁷ or, “ ‘Who Will Descend Into The Abyss?’ ” (That Is, To Bring Christ Up From The Dead).  ⁸ But What Does It Say?, “The Word Is Near You, In Your Mouth And In Your Heart” (That Is, The Word Of Faith Which We Preach):

Psalm 34:12-13; 1 Peter 3:10
^{Psalm 34:12} Who Is The Person Who Desires Life, And Loves Many Days, That He May See Good?  ¹³ Keep Your Tongue From Evil, AndYour Lips From Speaking Deceit.

^{1 Peter 3:10} For, “They Who Would Love Life And See Good Days, Let Them Refrain Their Tongue From Evil, And Their Lips From Speaking Deceit, {No Guile, Speaking Lies},

(Proverbs 18:20-21; Matthew 12:37; Psalm 34:12-13; 1 Peter 3:10).

Death And Life Are In The Power Of The Tongue.  What You Say Determines Your Outcome, All The Time, Not Just When Situations Get Rough.  What’s Coming Out Of Your ‘Mouth’ Is Like A Water Shut Off Value.  Either It’s Off or It’s Allowing Water To Come Out, Even If It’s Just A Trickle.

Ezekiel 35:13 ¹³ Thus You Have Boasted And Magnified Yourselves Against Me With Your ‘Mouth’, Multiplying Your Words Against Me; I Have Heard It, (AMPC).

Malachi 2:17 ¹⁷ You Have Wearied Yahweh With Your Words.   Yet You Say, ‘How Have We Wearied Him?’ In That You Say, ‘Everyone Who Does Evil Is Good In The Sight Of Yahweh, And He Delights In Them;’ or ‘Where Is The God Of Justice?’ (WEB)

Malachi 3:13-14 ¹³ “Your Words Have Been Stout Against Me”, Says Yahweh, “Yet You Say, ‘What Have We “Spoken” Against You?’ ¹⁴ You Have Said, ‘It Is Vain To Serve God;’ And ‘What Profit Is It That We Have Kept His Charge, And That We Have Walked Mournfully Before Yahweh Of Hosts?  (WEB)

Concerning The Children Of Israel And Them Murmuring In Their Tents,

Psalm 41:9-11
⁹ Yes, My Own Familiar Friend, In Whom I Trusted, Who Ate Bread With Me, Has Lifted Up His Heel Against Me.
¹⁰ But You, Yahweh, Have Mercy On Me, And Raise Me Up, That I May Repay Them.
¹¹ By This I Know That You Delight In Me, Because My Enemy Doesn’t Triumph Over Me.

Did David Have Positive Results Saying Things Before They Happened?  David Did Cut The Giant’s Head Off, But Did You Notice That He Said That He Would Beforehand, When He Didn’t Even Have A Sword On Him.  That’s Faith Talking~!  Read Below And Notice The Many Times, David Said, And Watch What He Said, And Did It Occur Exactly As He Said That It Would?

1 Samuel 17:36-37, 45-47
³⁶ “Your Servant Has Killed Both Lion And Bear; And This UnCircumcised Philistine Will Be Like One Of Them. ³⁷ David Said, Yahweh Who Delivered Me Out Of The Paw Of The Lion, And Out Of The Paw Of The Bear, He WILL Deliver Me”.

1 Samuel 17:45-47, 51-53 ~ ⁴⁵ Then Said David To The Philistine, You Come To Me With A Sword, A Spear, And A Javelin, But I Come To You In The Name Of Yahweh ~ T’Sebaah, (“The Captain Of The Armies”), The God Of The Ranks Of Israel, Whom You Have Defied. ⁴⁶ “This Day Will Yahweh Deliver You Into My Hand”, “I Will Strike You, And Take Your Head From Off You”, “I Will Give The Dead Bodies ¤ Of The Host Of The Philistines This Day To The Birds Of The Sky, And To The Wild Animals Of The Earth”, ⁴⁷ “And That All This Assembly May Know That Yahweh Doesn’t Save With Sword And Spear: For The Battle Is Yahweh’s, And He Will Give You Into Our, {Plural ~ More Than One} Hand ~ ⁵² And The Army Of Israel, {Plural ~ More Than One} Slew The Philistines}”.

Matthew 17:20; Luke 17:5-6
⁵ The Apostles Said To The Lord, “Increase Our Faith”.

⁶ The Lord Said, “If You Had Faith. …
… Like A Grain Of Mustard Seed, YOU WOULD TELL This Sycamore Tree, ‘Be UpRooted, And Be Planted In The Sea,’ And It Would Obey You. (WEB)
The ESV Reads {You Will Say To This Mountain}, “Are You Asking, {Begging}, or Telling?”

The Berean Literal Bible Reads, “If You Have Faith Like A Grain Of Mustard, YOU WOULD HAVE SAID To This Mulberry Tree, ‘Be UpRooted And Be Planted In The Sea,’ And It Would Have Obeyed You”.

Yahoshua Basically Said, “Boys, If You Had As Much Faith Even As Small Of Amount As A Mustard Seed; Your Mouth Would Be Moving, And Since It’s Not, I Know That You Don’t Have Faith In Your Heart”.

Bonus: Read The Rest Of This Story And You’ll Find That ‘Faith Is Our Servant’, (Luke 17:7-10)~!

Extra Bonus: Philemon 1:6 ~ That The Communication Of Your Faith May Become Effectual By The Acknowledging Of Every Good Thing Which Is In You In Christ Jesus, (Webster’s Bible Translation).

Then We See A Few Scriptures Passed Where The Disciples Asked Yahoshua To Increase Their Faith At Luke 17:5-6, Yahoshua Does What He Had Instructed The Disciples To Do By Declaring With His Mouth Ten Lepers Cleansed And Healed; And They Were Healed As They Received Their Healing By Faith And Applying Action, {Being Doers Of The Word And Not Hearers Only, (James 1:22)}, By Going To Priest To Be Declared Cleansed And Made Whole.

Luke 17:12-14
¹² As He Entered Into A Certain Village, Ten Men Who Were Lepers Met Him, Who Stood At A Distance. ¹³ They Lifted Up Their Voices, Saying, “Jesus, Master, Have Mercy On Us~!” ¹⁴ When He Saw Them, He Said To Them, “ Go And Show Yourselves To The Priests”.  It Happened That As They Went, They Were Cleansed. (WEB).

Yahoshua Showed Us How To Get The Job Done By Talking To Those Ten Lepers And TELLING Them To Go Show Themselves To The Priest, (At That Time The Priest Was The Only One That Had The Authority To Certify That You Were Cleaned From Leprosy).  Today, It Would Be Like Aids or eBola or The Zika Virus, or The CoronaVirus, (COVID-19), And The Officials At The CDC Would Have To Verify That You Are In Fact Clean & Made Whole.  So, To Legally Satisfy The Prescription Of The Law, They Had To Go To The Priest).

That Was An Act Of Faith From Yahoshua And It Was From His ‘Mouth’.  Were They Healed When Yahoshua Said This To Them?  NO, The Facts Appeared To Indicate That They Were Still The Same~!  There Were No Physical Manifestations Of Healings Having Occurred, {It Happened That As They Went, They Were Cleansed.  Now, In The Spiritual Realm, Yes, The Opportunity And The Provision For Them To Be Made Whole Was Made The Moment That Yahoshua Spoke It, But If They Had Not Gone, They Would Have Remained The Same, And Their Healing Would Not Have Manifest, or They Would Have Lost Their Healing Because There Were Two Parts To This Healing Instructions, [Go Show Yourself To The Priest ~ They Had To Go Show Themselves To The Priest Which Took Obedience As Well As Faith To Believe Combined With Patience As Their Healing Wasn’t An Instant Manifestation].

Faith And Patience, {The Power Twins}, Are Like An Epoxy That Needs Both The Resin And The Hardener To Form An Adhesive.  They Had To Receive This Word By Faith.  They Had To Mix Faith, (Hebrew 4:2) With The Word They Heard, (Mark 4:20).  But Like Psalm 91:2-3, They Had To Act, To Obey, To Be Doers Of The Word, (I Will Say Of Yahweh… For [Then]).

They Cried Out, Help Us, or Have Pity And Compassion, {G1653}, On Us Seeing That We Are Leprous.  Yahoshua Said, Well, “Go SHOW Yourself To The Priest”.  In Other Words, “It’s A Lock”; “It’s A “Done Deal””~!  Yahoshua Was Saying, “I’m Telling You Are Healed”, But To Fulfill The Levitical Commandments, (Leviticus 13:1-39), One Would Have To Go To The Priest, So Go SHOW Yourself To The Priest~!   On Your Way Boys, Because You’ve Been Healed~!

A Lot Like A Son or A Daughter That Wants To Drive And The Father Says, Well Let’s Go Down To The Driver’s License Office On Monday.  The Son or Daughter Would Shout, “Yes”~!  Because This Means That They Are Going To Get A Driver’s License Once They Pass The Test.

Today Is The Day We’re Going To Go Get Your Driver’s License, (Today, Is The Day Of Salvation, Now Is The Acceptable Time, And We Can’t Go On Sundays As They’re Closed On Sundays But On The Acceptable Time).  The Window Of Opportunity For Your Healing or Deliverance Is Right Now. Now, Is The Acceptable Time, Today Is The Day Of Salvation,

(Isaiah 61:2; 2 Corinthians 6:2 Luke 4:19; Hebrews 3:7, 13; Hebrews 4:7).

What Would Have Been The Fate Of These Ten Lepers Had They Not Lifted Their Voices Unto Yahoshua?

Matthew 10:32 ~ Whosoever Therefore Shall Confess Me Before Men, Him WILL I Confess Also Before My Father.

Revelation 3:5 ~ ~ I WILL Confess His Name Before My Father And Before His Angels,
[Not Just Before The Father, But Also Before The Angels, {Must Be Important or It Wouldn’t Have Been Mentioned ~ (Psalm 103:20-21)}]~!

Yahoshua Didn’t Say I Hereby Am Making A Declaration, He Just Made A Decree, Yahoshua Wasn’t Asking, He Was, “Telling” or, “Declaring”, “You’re Clean Now”.  However To Be Cleared Of Leprosy, The Priest Had To Verify That They Were Clean.  All The Priest Did Was Give The Seal Of Approval, By Certifying With A Visual Inspection That They Were Clean, (Leviticus 13:1-39), And Then They, (The Former Lepers), Would Be Allowed To Mingle With Other Folks.

[Note: All Of Them Got Healed, {(Luke 17:17) ~ “Were There Not Ten Cleansed?   But Where Are The Nine?”} As They Went, So We See That They Departed From Yahoshua, And All They Had Was His Word, “Go Show Yourselves To The Priest”].

Allow Me To Pose This Question.  Did Yahoshua Ever Not Heal Anybody, or Leave Them As He Found Them?  Well In This Occurrence, Their Physical Appearance Remained The Same, As They Had Been When They Departed From Yahoshua; And, “It Happened That As They Went, They Were Cleansed”.  Then What Had Changed?  They Had A Word Of Faith From Yahoshua That They Should Go Show Themselves To The Priest, In A Direct Reply To Their Plea To, “Have Mercy or Have Pity On Us”.

So, If You’re Saying I Don’t Believe In All That, “Name It—Claim It”, “Blabb It—Grab It”, “Confess It—Possess It” Stuff, And Calling Those Things That Be Not AS THOUGH THEY WERE, (Romans 4:17).  Well, You Need To Re-Examine Your Belief System Because Yahoshua Was Our Example,
(Verses About Taking Up Your Cross, And Dying To Self, Enter Here).

Yahoshua Called These Lepers Healed When They Were Not As Of Yet.  As They Went, They Were Cleansed .

Yahoshua Did Not Continue Until They Were Healed In His Presence, And This Is An Example Of The Word Of Faith And Not The Gift Of Healing Where They Get Immediately Healed Right Off The Bat~! This Wasn’t The Only Time Yahoshua Called Those Things That Be Not AS THOUGH THEY WERE. 

Another Time, Yahoshua Said, “While I Am In The World, I Am The Light Of The World”. Not In The Sweet By And By, But While He Was In This World.  However, In That Crowd As He Spoke These Words Saying That He Was The Light Of The World, While He Was In This World, There Sat A Blind Man In This World That Could Not See Any Light~!  Seemingly Coincidental, (Proverbs 16:33).  After Saying This, Yahoshua Spit Into Some Mud And Anointed, (Strong’s Concordance #: 2025) It On The Blind Person’s Eyes, And Then Told Him To Go Wash It Off In The Pool Of Siloam.

John 9:5-7.
⁵ As Long As I Am In The World, I Am The Light Of The World.
⁶ When He Had Thus Spoken, He Spat On The Ground, And Made Clay Of The Spittle, And He Anointed The Eyes Of The Blind Man With The Clay, (Genesis 2:7).
⁷ And Said Unto Him, Go, Wash In The Pool Of Siloam, (Which Is By Interpretation, Sent”). He Went His Way Therefore, And Washed, And Came Seeing.

Can You See, (Pun) That When The Blind Man Left, He Was Just As Blind As He Was Before.  However, After He Washed In The Pool Of Siloam And Did Exactly, Precisely As Yahoshua Had Instructed Him, Then He Came Back Healed.

Sometimes Yahoshua Operated With The Gift Of Healing, But This Time Yahoshua Was Operating By Faith And Yahoshua Was Told By Yahweh, (¤ John 5:19-20; John 12:49)}, To Spit Into Mud And Put This Mud On This Blind Person’s Eye, {That Was Faith On Yahoshua’s Part}.  This Blind Man Wasn’t Immediately Healed Until He Acted By Faith On What Yahoshua Had Instructed Him To Do~!  {Question: How Did This Blind Man Find The Pool Of Siloam, Being That He Was Blind?  Was It Close By?  Did Someone Have To Help Him or Guide Him By The Arm?  And If So, Was This To Encourage The Other Person’s Faith?}.

This Blind’s Man Was Thrown Out Of The Synagogue, Because Of His Testimony.  But, What Is Really Awesome Is “Yahoshua Found Him”, (Yahoshua Had To Have Been Looking For Him, Probably Went Searching For Him, And This Was What Our Father Instructed Yahoshua To Do ¤).  Can You Expect That As You Get A New Revelation, (New Sight, or Insight), That Yahoshua Will Find You Also?  (Hebrews 10:32-35).

John 9:35-38
³⁵ Yahoshua Heard That They Had Cast Him Out; And When He Had Found Him, He Said To Him, “Do You Believe In The Son Of God?”
³⁶ He Answered And Said, “Who Is He, Lord, That I May Believe In Him?”
³⁷ And Yahoshua Said To Him, “You Have Both Seen Him And It Is He Who Is Talking With You”.
³⁸ Then He Said, “Lord, I Believe~!”, And He Worshiped Him~!

I See Here That The Lepers And This Blind Man Had To Receive By Faith The Word Yahoshua Spoke, or They Would Have Died With The Same Condition … Had They Not Gone To The Priest.  Luke 17:15; Says Concerning The Ten Lepers, “Now One Of Them, When He Saw That He Had Been Healed, Turned Back Glorifying God With A Loud Voice”.  This Leper Couldn’t Have Turned Back Unless He Had, “Been Going”, Nor Would The Blind Man Go Wash Into The Pool Of Siloam Unless He Believed The Words That Yahoshua Spoke Calling Those Things That Be Not AS THOUGH THEY WERE, *(I Guess We Can Call This, “Blind Faith”).  Is There Something The Holy Ghost Has Told Us To Do, Such As Call Forth The Elders When You Are Sick, (James 5:13-15), And You’re Waiting For Yahweh To Just Up And Heal You?

Exodus 4:12; Psalm 81:10; Psalm 103:5; Isaiah 50:4-5; Matthew 10:19-20; Luke 12:11-12; Mark 13:11; Colossians 4:6; James 3:2; Proverbs 15:23; Proverbs 25:1

However, The Word Used Here For ‘Mouth’, May Be Describing Ornamentation ~ Jewelry / Desires /
Trappings Of A Horse, {An Ornamental Covering or Harness For A Horse}.
The Word Trappings Originally Described The Decorations People Attached To Their Horse’s Bridle And Saddle.
The Goal Was To Make A Statement About The Rider’s Power And Privilege.
And The Word, <H5716> Is Used In Other Scriptures Such As Such …

(Exodus 33:4-6; 2 Samuel 1:24; Psalm 32:9;103:5; Isaiah 49:18; Jeremiah 2:32;4:30; Ezekiel 7:20;16:7,11; 23:40).

But, The Gesenius’ Hebrew-Chaldee Lexicon Acknowledges That Many Attribute To This Word The Significance Of ‘Mouth’.

But, My Point Is That I Want To Have My Youth Renewed Like The Eagles… So, I Am Quoting Psalm 103:5~!  Amen?  You Have To Read Psalm 103:1-2 To Know That This Is Yahweh, But Then I Say, “Yahweh Satisfies Our ‘Mouth’ With ‘Good Things’ So That Our Youth Is Renewed Like The Eagle’s”.  But, Since This Is The Word Of Yahweh, I Am Curious, What Does My ‘‘Mouth’’ Have To Do With My Youth Being Renewed Like The Eagle’s?  I Pondered This, But Could Not Find The Answer, So I Tabled It To Another Time.  Today A Woman Passed Our Table Where We Were Dining And She Had A Withered Arm.  I Thought At One Time In The Past That Arm Most Likely Worked Well, But Now She Has Probably Had A Stroke And A Side Of Her Body Has Been Paralyzed, And I Heard Voices In My Spirit Of People Saying, “If You Don’t Stop That, You’re Going To Cause Me To Have A Stroke”.  That’s What My Mother Used To Say All The Time, And Then She Had Several Strokes And Died Of A Stroke~!

Then Several Scriptures Went Off In My Mind About ‘Idle Words’, That We Don’t Think Nothing Of When We Say Them, (And We Might Even Say, I Didn’t Mean That, I Was Just Joking Or I Was Talking).  I Have Mentioned These Scriptures Before, But This Is Another Reason To Study Yahweh’s Word, So That When Yahweh Is Talking To You, The Holy Ghost Can Bring To Your Remembrance The Word Of Yahweh Regarding The Subject At Hand.

Proverbs 18:20-21
²⁰ A Person’s Stomach Is Filled With The Fruit Of Their Mouth. With The Harvest Of Their Lips They Are Satisfied.
²¹ Death And Life Are In The Power Of The Tongue, And Those Who Indulge In It Shall Eat The Fruit Of It [For Death or Life].

Matthew 12:35-37
³⁵ A Good Person Out Of The Good Treasure Of Their Heart Brings Forth ‘Good Things’, And An Evil Person Out Of The Evil Treasure Brings Forth Evil Things. ³⁶ But I Say To You That For Every ‘Idle Word’ People May Speak, They Will Give Account Of It In The Day Of Judgment. ³⁷ For ‘By Your Words’ You Will Be Justified And Acquitted, And ‘By Your Words’ You Will Be Condemned And Sentenced.

Proverbs 4:20-23; Proverbs 23:7, “Guard Your Hearts With All That You Do” ~ “As A Person Thinks, So Are They” … {Why Do We Need To Guard Our Hearts?  Because Out Of The Abundance Of The Heart The ‘Mouth’ Will Speak And That Will Bring About Whatsoever You Say).

Psalm 34:12-13; 1 Peter 3:10
^{Psalm 34:12} Who Is The Person Who Desires Life, And Loves Many Days, That He May See Good?  ¹³ Keep Your Tongue From Evil, And Your Lips From Speaking Deceit.

^{1 Peter 3:10} For, “They Who Would Love Life And See Good Days, Let Them Refrain Their Tongue From Evil, And Their Lips From Speaking Deceit, {No Guile, Speaking Lies},

(Proverbs 18:20-21; Matthew 12:37; Psalm 34:12-13; 1 Peter 3:10).

Death And Life Are In The Power Of The Tongue.  What You Say Determines Your Outcome, All The Time, Not Just When Situations Get Rough.  What’s Coming Out Of Your ‘Mouth’ Is Like A Water Shut Off Value.  Either It’s Off or It’s Allowing Water To Come Out, Even If It’s Just A Trickle.

Proverbs 12:13-14 ~ ¹³ The Wicked Is [Dangerously] Snared By The Transgression Of Their Lips, But The [Uncompromisingly] Righteous Shall Come Out Of Trouble.  ¹⁴ A Person Will Be Satisfied With ‘Good Things’ By The Fruit Of Their Mouth, And The Pay Of A Person’s Hands Will Be Rendered To Them.

Proverbs 13:2-3, 12-14 ~ ² By The Fruit Of Their Lips, A Person Enjoys ‘Good Things’; But The Unfaithful Crave Violence.
³ He Who Guards Their ‘Mouth’ Guards His Soul.  One Who Opens Wide Their Lips Comes To Ruin.

And Suddenly, I Knew Why We Would Want Yahweh To Fill Our ‘Mouth’ With ‘Good Things’? … So That Our Youth Is Renewed Like The Eagle’s.  I Don’t Need To Be Speaking Things With My ‘Mouth’ That Are Contrary To The Word Of Yahweh And That I Don’t Want, (Like Another Tie).  I Need To Be Vibrant, And Active And Alive And Not Dependent On Others When I Am Older So That I Can Be A Strength To Others, And Not A Burden.  I Need To Have My Strength Renewed Like The Eagle’s.  I Need To Be Saying The Things That I Do Want In My Life That Also Agree With The Word Of Yahweh.  Yes, By All Means, Yahweh, Fill My Mouth With ‘Good Things’~!  If This Weren’t So, Why Would Psalm 103:1-5 Even Be In The Scriptures?

But, I Don’t Have To Wait For A Word, For He Sends His Word, And Heals Us, And Delivers Us From Our Graves, (Psalm 68:20; Psalm 107:20).  So, We Both Can Start Right Now By Proclaiming ‘Good Things’ Over Our Lives.  Let Them Praise Yahweh For His Loving-Kindness, For His Wonderful Works To The Children Of Men~!  (Psalm 107:20-21).  But The Righteousness Which Is Of Faith Speaks On This Wise, (Romans 10:6).

Okay, Do This..  In About 4-5 Seconds From Now, Say Your Name Out Loud.  Right Now Count In Your Mind From 1 To 12… And While Counting In Your Mind, Say Your Name Out Loud.  What Happened?  Were You Able To Keep Counting?  No, You Were Not.  Your Thoughts Had To Stop To See What Your Mouth Was Saying.

Here Are Some Thoughts That d—Evil One Might Suggest To You Below And Some Insight Into His Wiles, So That You Will Know How To Combat Them. This Is The Same Way Faith Operates, Except It’s Fear This Time Around.  d—Evil One Will Present To You Symptoms Of A Disease, or It Will Appear That, “Your Employment Is Nearing The End”, or, “You’re Getting Old”, And ALL Kind Of Thoughts, Disguised In Your Voice, Or “My Child Never…”, Or “My Wife…” You Get The Picture.

If d—Evil One Can Get You To Say It, Then He Can Be Somewhere Else And You Might Find Yourself Already On, “Automatic Pilot”, If You Hear Yourself Saying, Something That Contradicts The Word, Clues Can Be Heard, If You Hear Yourself Even In What You Think Are Just Your Thoughts Saying, “I’m Afraid” or, “They Are Going To Terminate My Job”, or, “I Always”, etc.

Bottom Line: And That Is A Big Key To How We Take Thoughts Captive, (2 Corinthians 10:5-6).  You Can’t Fight A ‘Thought’ With Another ‘Thought’.  You Take Thoughts Captive By Saying… So, Contradict These Negative Evil Born Thoughts With The Word Of Yahweh Speaking Them Out Loud, Just As Soon As You Hear Them, (Even, or Especially If You Are In Front Of Other Folks, {“Whoso Is Ashamed Of Me Among People, I Will Be Ashamed Of Among Angels” ~

Here’s A Starter Kit Of Scripture Verses To Reply Back And To Stop And Take Captive Any Thoughts.

Here’s One Simple Thing You Can Do.  Say Out Loud Once You Realize That d—Evil One Is Trying To Pull Some Thought Bomb Over On You, “I Disagree” For The Blessing Of Yahweh Makes One Rich, And He Adds No Sorrow With It, And That’s Sorrow ”, (Proverbs 10:22).  I’ll Not Have That, It’s Like Ordering A Pizza And Getting Anchovies On It When You Didn’t Order Anchovies.  No, That’s Not Mine.  I Didn’t Order Sorrow~!  Sound Too Simple?  Try It~!

* Mark 11:14 Says That Yahoshua Answered The Fig Tree…

While In The Boat With The Strong Wind And They Were In Were In Grave Peril, And Their Lives In Jeopardy, (Seriously Deep Trouble-Danger ~ Luke 8:23 ~ The NAS Reads, “A Fierce Gale Of Wind Descended On The Lake”, And The Amplified Bible Classic Edition Says, “Whirlwind Revolving”.  Other Translations Call This “A Squall”, “Gale-Force Winds”, “A Tempest Of Wind”, “A Violent Windstorm” ~ Click On This Link, Luke 8:23, And Use Ctrl-F To Search For “Came Down” or “Descended”, ~ And You’ll Find That 31 Translations Say, “Came Down” or “Descended”.  The Strong’s Concordance Number For This Word, (G2597); Also Confirms That It “Came Down”.  Tornadoes Come Down Spiraling In A Funnel Cloud Twister, So This Was Of Tornado Proportions); And Yet In The Midst Of This Where The Hair Is Standing Up On The Back Of Their Necks), Yahoshua SPOKE To The WIND, And Then The Whirlwind Stopped.  Mark 4:37 ~ ³⁷ And A Furious Storm Of Wind [Of Hurricane Proportions] Arose, And The Waves Kept Beating Into The Boat, So That It Was Already Becoming Filled, {AMPC: Amplified Bible, Classic Edition}.

Then To Confirm This, Note What Yahoshua Did Not Say.  He Didn’t Say To The Disciples, Well Boys, This Kind Of A Miracle Takes A Lot Of Prayer And Fasting And Something That Only I Am Capable Of Doing.  Instead, Yahoshua Asked Them Where Was Their FAITH, {“Where Is Your Faith?” ~ (Matthew 8:23-27; Mark 4:35-39: Luke 8:22-25)}.  Was Their Faith In What They Could See, or Was Their Faith In What He Told Them?  Matthew 8:18 ~ ¹⁸ Now Jesus, When He Saw The Great Throngs Around Him, Gave Orders To Cross To The Other Side [Of The Lake].

This Puzzled Me For A Long Time, As I Wondered Why He Could Say To Them, “How Is It That You Have No Faith?”  That Was Until I Read Where He Said In Both Mark And Luke’s Gospels Where Yahoshua Had Said, “LET US GO OVER TO THE OTHER SIDE”, (Mark 4:35; Luke 8:22),  Since Yahoshua Always Has What He Says, And He Said, “LET US GO OVER TO THE OTHER SIDE”.  That Should Be The Hope To Which To Anchor Their Faith On, (Hebrews 6:19), And Would Not Mean That They Go Halfway And Get Shipwrecked or Drown.  That Meant That They Would Definitely Arrive Alive On The Other Side Of The Lake, Safe And Sound~!   Both Isaiah 53:9 And 1 Peter 2:22 Said This About Yahoshua, “There Was No Deceit In His Mouth”; {Strong’s Concordance ~ (H4820); Definition Of Deceit Used In Isaiah 53:9 Reads, “Fraud, Deceit. The Term Signifies The Intentional Misleading Of Someone Else Through Distorting or Withholding The Truth”}.  In Other Words, Yahoshua Did Not Say One Thing, But Do Another.  Healing Is Often Prevented Because We Are Contradicting Our Own Words~!

Yahoshua Had Just Showed Them His Faith When He SPOKE To The Wind And To The Sea.  ^{Mark 4:39} ~ He Awoke, And Rebuked The Wind, And Said To The Sea, “Peace~! Be Still~!”, The Wind Ceased, And There Was A Great Calm~!

I Can See Yahoshua In My Mind’s Eye With The Wind Blowing His Hair Flopping Every Which-A-Way.  “The Answer My Friend Is Blowing In The Wind”.  The Next Time You’re In Peril or Danger or Even If It Seems Like You Don’t Have Enough Money.  Speak To That Problem~!  Say, “Washing Machine, You Better Not Get Used To Being Broken, Because Yahweh Supplies All My Needs According To His Riches In Glory”, (Philippians 4:19).

“Where Is Your Faith?” ~ [Hint: We Walk By Faith, Not By Sight, (2 Corinthians 5:7)].
