YH’SHWH asks for HIS WITNESSES while a prisoner
JN 18:19 The high priest then asked Jesus of his disciples, and of his doctrine.
JN 18:20 Jesus answered him, I spake openly to the world; I ever taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither the Jews always resort; and in secret have I said nothing.
JN 18:21 Why askest thou me? ask them which heard me, what I have said unto them: behold, they know what I said.
JN 18:22 And when he had thus spoken, one of the officers which stood by struck Jesus with the palm of his hand, saying, Answerest thou the high priest so?
JN 18:23 Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil: but if well, why smitest thou me?
JN 18:24 Now Annas had sent him bound unto Caiaphas the high priest.

JN 18:27 Peter then denied again: and immediately the cock crew.

With no WITNESSES, HE is led to HIS DEATH
JN 18:28 Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas unto the hall of judgment: and it was early; and they themselves went not into the judgment hall, lest they should be defiled; but that they might eat the PASSOVER.
_______
This is what I believe.
I believe that YH’SHWH came to die for our sin.
I believe that YH’SHWH will use US, HIS CREATION, to complete HIS PLAN.
I believe that WE, HIS PEOPLE, are not YH’SHWH’S robots.
So, if you are going to get involved in HIS PLAN,
I believe that it is better to go all the way – HIS WAY.
Many say, that YH’SHWH had plans for Peter and John
And that that is why they did not WITNESS for YH’SHWH at HIS trial.
___
I pray that I am BLESSED with FAITH
to go through what I need to do,
when my time comes to WITNESS for YH’SHWH.
Dear GOD YH’SHWH, YOU have CREATED ME.
YOU have given ME YOUR SPIRIT to dwell in ME.
YOUR POWER is in ME.
May I submit to YOUR SPIRIT,
WHO will guide me in using YOUR POWER
in ways that are right in YOUR EYES.
May I do nothing to bring dishonor to YOU,
To me, to the ones around me, or to YOUR BODY.
CREATE in me a CLEAN HEART, OH YH’SHWH.
Renew my FAITH to submit to YOUR SPIRIT
That I may be worthy of the BLESSINGS that flow
From YOU and YOUR LOVE.
AMEN
