Spiritual Connection

   As thoughts are being generated within our hearts and minds so are spiritual connections, we have all wondered at times where our thoughts came from.  If 10 people write a review on the same book more than likely there will be 10 unique ideas derived from the story or content.  We can't relegate our unique differences to environment or life experiences, each of us contains unique qualities and content which is also derived from our unique Spiritual Connections.  Our Spiritual Connection ultimately defines who we are, we represent the "Fruits" of our Spiritual Connections to the Material world, every choice we make, our speech, actions, careers, attitudes choosing of friends and acquaintances is a product of our Spiritual Connection.  Our Spiritual Connection is what energizes the choices and abilities we have.  Some prefer the word metaphysical over the word spiritual, we know that based on the input we offer our minds we produce many thoughts and ideas, but the choice also lies with each of us what we will feed our mind with.  If we read an interesting biography our minds form ideas of how another soul thought about life and chose to live and how they chose to apply themselves to life, in some cases we pick up ideas and possibilities to consider for ourselves, in others we learn how not to live.  But as we read about HaMashiyach our thoughts consider a soul who lived for others and taught a Way that unifies souls to YHWH and each other, making this connection with HaMashiyach makes everything else appear as mundane and temporal.  We all want and need Heaven to smile on us and enjoy time with our family and friends in this life and we want to know that we have lived our lives to the fullest.  As we connect to HaMashiyach we join with others in Spirit and in Truth, our faithful Friendship to Him is our highest calling, His Authority allows us to be true and real with ourselves.  We do not follow another man's will for our lives or even our own will which at times must be guarded, we express the Spirit of HaMashiyach through our souls.  Faithful friendship means accountability, transparency, righteousness, perseverance,  determination, care, love, forgiveness, gentleness, kindness and much more, these values have the makings of what defines us and our Friendship towards HaMashiyach and others, but there is also much more...

 

 

     HaMashiyach spoke about certain guests He invited to His banquet, but although they were invited they were very rude and dishonored him by not attending.  He was angry and He commanded His servants to go into the highways and byways to bring in others.  These new attendees were not originally bid to the feast, it was a last minute plan to extend invitations to others to join the feast, arrangements had been made for a large feast, but there were very few people who came.  Those who were originally invited but who would not enter represent religious people who did not have a "Spiritual Connection" with HaMashiyach.  The religious are so busy with traditions, material things and self made ideas they've missed the opportunity to walk with Yeshua HaMashiyach.  Men have committed the most severe and evil crimes against themselves and the rest of humanity through following religious traditions.  The Mashiyach is a Universal King who upholds equality for all, He says that those who "do His Commandments" are those who truly love Him.

     The most basic and obvious law of having a Spiritual Connection with HaMashiyach is to observe Torah and DO His commandments, this is how we grow and maintain a Spiritual Connection with Him.  There are plenty of questions out there regarding HaMashiyach, why if Y'shua is HaMashiyach did He suffer and not establish a Kingdom as required of the Mashiyach?  The answer to this question is best put to Mashiyach Himself, He said: "Truly, truly, I say unto you, except a kernel of wheat fall into the ground and dies, it abides alone: but if it dies, it brings forth much fruit. He that loves his life shall lose it; and he that hates his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal. If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour."

John 12:24-26  

     The Kingdom Mashiyach begins with the inner man, providing opportunities to grow our souls in spirit and in truth.  Abraham taught us how to die to self as did every other person who followed YHWH into truth. Lech Lecha is a parasha (portion of scripture Genesis 12-17) that alludes to what every child of Abraham was to experience after him.  Lech Lecha (go to yourself), and discover who we really are.  What is our real purpose in life?  What is the reality of our existence? Once we know this then how shall we live?  For some these questions are too difficult, life for them is a simple yet beautiful thing and they don't want to complicate it too much, but sometimes life leaves us wondering about how much more is there is to life?

     Everybody knows when making a good business plan, one starts from the end and works it back to the beginning.  It's easy to understand this but one of the most difficult things to do, we must prepare to die so we can live.  We must have a clear conscience in all things, all of what we are is not ours to own.  We belong to the One who gave us life.  This is what HaMashiyach Yeshua accomplished for us, He made a Way for us to have a Spiritual Connection with Him and to be able to share Him with others.  HaMashiyach is YHWH who came in a body to be the example to us all, those who reject Yeshua as HaMashiyach also reject Torah, Justice and Righteousness, those who follow HaMashiyach also know He who sent Him, "The Father" YHWH, it was for this reason that Yeshua came into the world.

 

YHWH be with you!
