Sisters
of the Faith
I have often wondered why this work if
ever it had received any support it has always been from
women believers. I could name two sisters from Texas: Tina and
June, and one sister from Michigan: Willonne. I kept on
pondering on that mystery for quiet some time, until
the following was made clear to me, recently.
From the very
beginning the book of Genesis made a most startling
proclamation. The last epic battle leading to mankind’s
liberation is between the Grand Deceiver and the Woman.
"I’ll put enmity
between you and the woman, between your seed and her seed.
He shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel."
(Gen.3: 15)
The book of
Revelation in its 12th chapter portrays the
woman at the forefront of this battle to establish light
over darkness.
It is therefore no
wonder that during Yahshua’s Ministry on earth, contrary
to what we’d think, it wasn’t the men of Judaism who came
running to Yahshua with their help. It was Sisters of the
Faith who gathered and surrounded the Master with their
unconditional love and support.
Their acquiescence
of a Divine Plan at work, here, dates from way back. While
yet in the womb, as the man sat fuming over and doubting
the Divine Revelation, it was a woman who first confessed
Yahshua to be in the flesh. Before a man could ever say it
Elizabeth recognized and titled the unborn child as "Adonai,
My Master". She literally announced the One prophesied in
Genesis 3: 15. Furthermore, from Elizabeth’s womb, Yohanan
worshiped Messiah.
This is very
symbolical to the way males are not coming forward in
numbers to raise this banner of the righteous faith. It is
going to take you, Sisters of the Faith, to show them the
way.
From burial to
resurrection, these Sisters of the Faith were there. They
saw the rising Messiah, first, and then, as they had been
the ones to announce Him to the world in the beginning,
they again reported what they saw to the disciples who
were afraid of going out of their holes.
Those Sisters of the
Faith are often desolate and alone. Right now, the life of
most of them is cheerless and lonely. Some of the
husbands, out there, are not leaders, responsible
disciples in the Path of Faith. They are slow thinkers,
unable to see far, to look with vision and take a stand
for total sanctification. They lead haphazardly. They show
no consistency in their role as priest of the family to
lead the flock to higher ground, even though prophecy is
fulfilling right now in the Middle East. But the Sisters
of the Faith have consistently demonstrate strong faith.
The nobility of the
souls of the Sisters of the Faith compels them to pursue a
consecration of life that is good for their entire family.
I know you have hard
and difficult lives with a taste of bitterness, sometimes.
I want you to know that the Messianic Hebrew Community is
your place of safety and renewal. Indeed you, sisters,
will benefit the most.
Your time has come
to deliver battle and crown the champion from your works
of piety, your dedication, and your gifts. I can clearly
see that through you those gifts of healing, promised to
Yahshua’s Assembly, will come back because as you
consecrate yourselves in prayers the Ruach HaQodesh will
immerse the entire Community with anointing.
Nabal could not see
the Working of Elohim in David, but Abigail had no
equivocation. She brought what had on hands to support
Yahweh’s mission (bless His name) which was being done
through David, I Sam. 25.
I now know that
those lives that need to be mended, the ruins that need
rebuilding, the ashes that need to be replaced by crowns of
jewels, it’s all about you.
I therefore welcome
you in advance, on behalf of Yahshua’s People.
I pray, o Yahweh (bless thy name),
Make of my heart a fountain of love!
