JN 5:37 And ABBA HIMSELF, which hath sent ME, hath borne witness of ME. Ye have neither heard HIS VOICE at any time, nor seen HIS SHAPE.
JN 5:38 And ye have not HIS WORD abiding in you: for whom HE hath sent, HIM ye believe not.
JN 5:39 Search the SCRIPTURES; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of ME.
JN 5:40 And ye will not come to ME, that ye might have LIFE.
JN 5:41 I receive not honour from men.
JN 5:42 But I know you, that ye have not the LOVE of GOD in you.
JN 5:43 I AM come in ABBA’S NAME, and ye receive ME not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.
JN 5:44 How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from GOD only?
JN 5:45 Do not think that I will accuse you to ABBA: there is one that accuseth you, MOSES, in whom ye trust.
JN 5:46 For had ye believed MOSES, ye would have believed ME; for HE wrote of ME.
JN 5:47 But if ye believe not HIS WRITINGS, how shall ye believe MY WORDS?

What I Have Learned
Many people ask me why YH’SHWH is so hard to get to. They ask, “How can I get close to HIM? How do I know when I am with HIM? How to I know HE is listening to me? How do I know when HE speaks to me?”
This is not YH’SHWH’S fault.
They wait for the reassurance of HIM letting them know HE is with them. They wait to feel comfortable around HIM. They wait for HIS response. They listen for that “still silent voice”.
None of this has ever happen to me. But, I know I AM with HIM. I know HE is with ME. I know HE listens to ME. I know HE speaks to ME. Because HE says so. (YH’SHWH’S WORD/LAW – Genesis to Revelation)
YH’SHWH’S WAYS are so against mine that I AM never comfortable around HIM (HIS SPIRIT in ME). HE asks ME to deny myself all the time. HIS decisions make ME look foolish because sometimes it looks like I AM not doing anything and then other times it looks like I AM not doing enough. Sometimes when I think I should get involved in a situation, HE says “NO” and I stand there, watching the situation progress, in frustration.
It is not until I realize how HE is conducting HIS BUSINESS and I see the results,
that I know what HE was doing and I AM so grateful HE uses ME..
FAITH is BELIEVING everything YH’SHWH SAYS.
I submit to HIS GIFT of SALVATION, through HIMSELF as MESSIAH,
And submit to HIS SPIRIT, WHO LIVES HIS WORD/LAW (Genesis to Revelation) through ME.
Now, HE asks ME to deny myself and let HIM BE HIMSELF through ME.
I AM HIS BODY.

LK 14:26 If any man come to ME, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be MY DISCIPLE.
Don’t try to COME TO HIM with your life “things” / “stuff”.
That is what is holding you away from HIM.
COME TO HIM with just YOU.
Once with HIM / in HIM, in HIS HOUSE, YOU will look through HIS WINDOWS (EYES)
and see that HIS LIFE and everything in this world belongs to YOU.
Now, in YH’SHWH, WE have HIS RIGHTS.
Because HE LOVES US.
Because HE wants US back.
Because WE belong to HIM.
WE are HIS PEOPLE and HE is our GOD.
LOVE,
RICOEL
