As I am sitting here in the presence of our Abba Father, asking Him what I need to write to His children, my mind starts wandering… do I introduce myself? Do I tell a story about something I have journeyed with? Do I share encouragement or just a testimony?
Abba gently comes to reassure me that this isn’t something that needs logistics. Something that I can plan and do research about, it is something intimate that He will share that is aligned with His holy and truthful word.
Welcome then to the “Something different every time” blog!
This space within Rise Eves is purely for His Kingdom and not for our glory at all. Here Abba does not allow us to plan rather to rest and taste His presence. Habakkuk 2:1 (KJV) “I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved.”
In my spirit, I just feel the seriousness of the times we are living in. Days of unrighteousness and darkness. Days where the flesh is winning the battle. As we get into Covenant with our King Abba, Yeshua and Ruach Ha Kodesh, we enter a battlefield of war against the enemy. We are fighting him in all because he walks around like a roaring lion trying to devour the Shepherds’ sheep.
In this scripture Abba showed me how He wants His Bride to enter into a new phase. If you look at the Hebrew words on the Blue Letter Bible app for:
Stand: STRONGS H5975 aw-mad’
*A primitive root that can be translated as: abide (behind), appoint, arise, cease, confirm, continue, dwell, be employed, endure, establish, leave, make, ordain, be (over), place, (be) present (self), raise up, remain, repair, serve, set (forth, over, -tle, up), (make to, make to be at a, with-) stand (by, fast, firm, still, up), (be at a) stay (up), tarry.
Watch: STRONGS H4931: mish-mer'-reth
*Can be translated as: objectively preservation, or (concretely) safe; figuratively observance,—charge, keep, or to be kept, office, ordinance, safeguard, ward, watch.
Watch-tower: STRONGS H4692 maw-tsore'
*Something hemming in, i.e. (objectively) a mound (of besiegers), (abstractly) a siege, (figuratively) distress; or (subjectively) a fastness:—besieged, bulwark, defence, fenced, fortress, siege, strong (hold), tower.
Just look at the beautiful perspective this gives, it sums up everything Abba wants from us if we CHOOSE Him as our First Love.
John 15:4 "Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in Me.”
Deut 11:1 “Therefore thou shalt love the LORD thy God, and keep His charge, and His statutes, and His judgments, and His commandments, always.”
2 Corinthians 10:3-5 “For though we walk in the flesh, we do not fight according to the flesh. For the weapons we fight with are not fleshly but mighty in Elohim for overthrowing strongholds, overthrowing reasoning’s and every high matter that exalts itself against the knowledge of Elohim, taking captive every thought to make it obedient to the Messiah.”
Abba is calling His bride to arise as watchmen in His house and to incline our ears to His voice only. The scripture I am reminded of the whole time is ‘choose this day whom you will serve whether YHVH or Baal!’
He wants to meet us face to face in the Holy of Holies. He wants us to abide in His presence; He wants us to be His fully in Him and not with a part of ourselves in the world. Rather He wants us to choose life, to choose Him! He is not forcing you beloved, He is inviting you. YOU! He is calling your name, listen to His voice as you worship Him in His watch-tower (presence). I want to encourage you to answer the call and come back running into His arms. Get into His ark. Enter His protection. Moreover, love Him, because oh how He loves us!
I really pray that this blessed you. I pray that this makes you hunger for more, digging deeper and seeking closeness with our King. I bless you with this word Abba gave me on 21 May 2024:
“Tend the soil of your soul with Me. Let’s cut the branches of pride. (John 15) Let’s rebuild from the waste places. (Is 58:12) Let’s water your garden, My dwelling. (2 Corth 15:1) Wash yourself and plant seeds with Me. (Matt 13). Abide in Me and I in you.”
Till next time that will be different… Shalom!
