Turning Point RanchPraising His Name! יהוה HalleluYah! |
IT'S NOT ABOUT US!We have been trying to walk in faith for many years now…in healthcare, religion, education, vocation, and finances…some years were fat and some have been very lean. But YHWH has been faithful. And as HE has instructed us on many occasions to do this or not do that, we have tried to be compliant. We are continuing this practice now. When we first started this pregnancy, we had no idea of its scope…we just took it as a blessing. As challenging as it has been, it is still an incredible blessing freely given by YHWH. It, like all other blessings we receive from HIM is one that we do not deserve. However, it has been very interesting to see the reactions of “Believers” to our dedication to allow YHWH to perform HIS will in the matter. Most have focused on their assumptions and fear of “physical danger” of the pregnancy, ignoring that this has safely happened before. Rather than receiving a simple statement of awe with understanding from our family and friends, ”Gee this is incredible and extremely difficult to understand, but Praise YHWH for HIS power”, we have been shunned, ignored, ridiculed, called irresponsible and insane, accused of having tumors or a false pregnancy, and even being possessed with evil spirits - with very little genuine exhortation. The only interpretation of this response is that the professed faith in the congregations is not up to the challenge in the physical realm. It is one thing to say you believe YHWH will part the Red Sea, and quite another to step off into the water. Our actions always follow our beliefs. But understand, we exercised no special power…we simply did as the Israelites did that day on the seashore…we took the only path available to us…and we are walking it now. Faith and belief are easily proved…by action! We are showing our faith through our works. Not to abide by the direction of YHWH, not to follow through on our promise to HIM, and not to allow HIM to control the entire event at this point would be a disastrous display of doubt. HIS faithfulness puts ours to shame. Yahshua warned that attributing the work of the Ruach ha Kodesh to Beelzebub was blasphemy…and that is a serious charge. Questioning YHWH in this matter to ask for confirmation or verification by allowing medical intervention at this point is tantamount to getting a second opinion to YHWH’s. This we cannot do. YHWH does not need our help. This is not about us…it is about YHWH. As much as our carnal side wants to be right so we can declare “we told you so”…we daily ask YHWH to suppress that fleshly desire and to make sure that the testimony is of YHWH and HIS power, strength, control, and faithfulness. We so hope that you will be one of the handful of believers who can believe without seeing. If that is not the case, we pray that you will be one who believes after having seen. We thank you for your concern and we indeed appreciate your prayers.
