Who would trust God… Who would not?  What is it that leads you to trust God [Yahweh]? How long have you trusted God, and when did you make the choice or decision to trust Yahweh? The psalm above seems to connect God’s “lovingkindness” to the children of men putting their trust in Him… The Bible says it is the “goodness” of Yahweh that leads men to repentance. Rom 2:4.  What is this mysterious “trust” relationship that some people have with Yahweh; and, why do some consider such an idea childishness and foolishness? How do you process these words of Paul:

“But as it is written: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.” 1 cor 2:9 nkjv   [And],

“while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.” 2 cor 4:18 nkjv

I think that if one has a personal and sincere trust in Yahweh that somewhere along their walk through their life that they must have had a life changing encounter with the living God… some may have had a more or less dramatic experience than others, but nevertheless, there are two Bible verses that relate to this concept. First:

“No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day. 45 It is written in the prophets, ‘And they shall all be taught by God.’ Therefore everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to Me.” jn 6:44-45 nkjv   [And],

And He [Jesus] said, “Therefore I have said to you that no one can come to Me unless it has been granted to him by My Father.” jn 6:65 nkjv

From the beginning, there are examples of men who, it seems, were simply minding their own business when Yahweh came along and intervened in their plans… i.e., Noah, Abraham, Moses… to name but a few. Moses at the burning bush in Exodus chapter 3,  it says he was tending his father-in-laws sheep when Yahweh suddenly ignited the bush and that Moses “turned aside” to examine it… consider this:

“So when the Lord saw that he turned aside to look, God called to him from the midst of the bush and said, “Moses, Moses!” And he said, “Here I am.” ex 3:4 nkjv

What caused each of us to turn to look at or listen to Yahweh’s signal for us to come to Him? Yeshua seems to say that this is how we come to Him… maybe we can’t remember any specific “invitation” or “distraction,” but I believe that because the Bible teaches that Yahweh “chose” us, that we surely must have somehow come by His doings… The real thing is, that we all [believers] have been adopted into the “unseen” eternal realm that Paul speaks of above. Yeshua teaches us that the “Kingdom” is within us… and that He indwells the temple “not made with hands,” within our hearts. It is significant, I think, that we understand the two worlds we live in… one is the unseen spiritual world and the other is the natural world around us.

As things get more complicated in our natural world, and the distractions of Babylon relentlessly bombard our sensory perceptions, it is imperative for our spiritual “health” that we don’t forget the battle that we are in. Modern technocratic dynamics are deviously employed to confuse our communication channels with our Heavenly Father… by example, consider we are being spun up in a centrifuge of confusion, hence “Babylon.” Many think that the “mark of the beast” includes the “mind stamp” that these deceptions and witchcrafts try to employ to “hijack” our thinking, or in computer terms, “hack” our intellectual and subconscious control system to implant spiritual viruses and Trojan code that deceive us. I don’t know if you ever consider such things or not, but the more I study the Scriptures and their warnings, and simultaneously study the news and technological advances, I think this is perhaps the devil’s main weapon we face that is attacking our understanding and our spiritual humanity. Paul told us that:

“For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. 4 For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, 5 casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, 6 and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled.” 2 cor 10:3-6 nkjv  Pauls further says:

“Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.” eph 6:11-13 nkjv

Now I have said all the above to suggest that I think we are embroiled [globally] in a smoke and mirrors, “good cop – bad cop” political production, by the cabal of darkness, that is ramping up to increase authoritarian control and deceptions aimed at sabotage of our once free and common sense defined lifestyles, underpinned with the rule of law [at least in the Western world]. We will soon, I think, be seeing unusual and unexplainable reports and fake news propaganda that will cause many to be fearful and unstable mentally and spiritually… in fact Yeshua [Jesus] said as much in Matthew 24, Luke 21, and Mark 13. These three chapters warn of the last days confusion that causes much distress and calamity world wide. The book of Revelation expands upon these issues.

It is necessary for the people who trust Yahweh to be firmly founded in His Word, and to relentlessly resist and cast down evil arguments that disagree and refute Biblical truth; they cannot be allowed to infect our thinking… Faith in Biblical truth will surround you with the “shield of faith.” Psalms 91 is a wonderful picture of the work of Yahweh’s Spirit and ministering angles doing battle in favor of the faith Yahweh’s people employ. It is the only defense against the delusions planned against humanity by the sinister demonic forces, here now and intensifying in days to come.

Once again, if you are a “chosen” one drawn to Yeshua by the Father, then you must come to terms with the rapidly changing world and the intensifying spiritual conflict that is upon us. Moses tried to talk Yahweh out of his assignment to confront Pharaoh to get the children of Israel out of Egyptian bondage… If Yahweh assigns us a duty to get persons out of the bondage of "Babylonian captivity" in our dysfunctional society, will we be up to the task? As long as we walk with Yeshua and keep our spiritual eyes on the things unseen, and trust Yahweh to lead the way… the road may be turbulent, but the arrival to the promised land will be certain.

Shalom, John
