Saying "Yes" to YHWH's "No"

Saying “Yes” to YHWH’s “No”

·         When we say “yes” to YHWH’s (GOD) “no” we come into agreement with Him, and we have peace.  Likewise when we say “no” to YHWH’s “no” we have no peace, and instead are bombarded by the access way we leave open to the Adversary to torment us and to make us feel fearful.

·         When we say “yes” to YHWH’s “no” our resolve to trust Him in faith is strengthened.  Likewise when we say “no” to YWHW’s “no,” our faith is weakened, and doubt begins to grow in us – we become unstable and double-minded, and easily tossed about just like a wave.

·         When we say “yes” to YHWH’s “no” we can accept His appointed times and seasons for transition into eternity for loved ones and others;  and we can accept the garment of gladness to replace or our garment of sorrow.  Likewise when we say “no” to YHWH’s “no,” we move towards great despair, depression and sadness; and our health becomes vulnerable to physical sickness, as we have no rest, no peace.

·         When we say “yes” to YHWH’s “no” to sin, and in particular a “no” pass on our own sins, we come to a place of brokenness and a contrite spirit because we have realized just how much we have offended the Most High God – thus giving us godly sorrow that yields repentance.  Likewise when we say “no” to YHWH’s Holy Spirit convicting us of sin, we greatly grieve and sorrow YHWH, as He desires to forgive us, but is awaiting our confession and prayer for forgiveness so He can do so.

·         When we say “yes” to YHWH and submit and surrender our will to His perfect will, doing as Yeshua (Jesus) stated in John 15:9-12,

⁹ “As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love. ¹⁰ If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love.

¹¹ “These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full. ¹² This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.

We learn that level of surrender, we can plainly see and learn that Yeshua added one commandment, but did NOT invalidate all the other commandments of the Heavenly Father.  Note in verse 9 above, the word “commandments” is plural and not singular.

So when we say “yes” to Yeshua’s admonishment to stay away from the traditions of men, we will fully hear what the spirit of the LORD is saying to us when we seek Him and His righteousness; and our spirits are compelled by His great love of predestining us, choosing us that we might avail ourselves to be restored to His original created purpose, “that we might be holy as He is holy” for His namesake and glory forever and ever.  A-men.
