PSALM 96 O sing unto the Lord a new song: sing unto the Lord, all the earth.
2 Sing unto the Lord, bless his name; shew forth his salvation from day to day.
3 Declare his glory among the heathen, his wonders among all people.
4 For the Lord is great, and greatly to be praised: he is to be feared above all gods.
5 For all the gods of the nations are idols: but the Lord made the heavens.
6 Honour and majesty are before him: strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.
7 Give unto the Lord, O ye kindreds of the people, give unto the Lord glory and strength.
8 Give unto the Lord the glory due unto his name: bring an offering, and come into his courts.
9 O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness: fear before him, all the earth.
10 Say among the heathen that the Lord reigneth: the world also shall be established that it shall not be moved: he shall judge the people righteously.
11 Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof.
12 Let the field be joyful, and all that is therein: then shall all the trees of the wood rejoice
13 Before the Lord: for he cometh, for he cometh to judge the earth: he shall judge the world with righteousness, and the people with his truth.
In everything be thankful! Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7 KJV

The Son of the Most High God was sent to bare witness of His Father. He was also given to us to be an example and now a mediator. Our Messiah left behind the Holy Spirit as a comfort while we are under subjection from the things of this world. This place we live in was given to satan for a little while, meanwhile we are supposed to be living in love. Christ showed us how to live and if we live in love then we are following the laws of God automatically.
Our big brother better known as Jesus was given unto those that persecuted Him because they didn’t understand that He wasn’t trying to undo what was already done but He was actually walking it out how the Creator intended for us to live in and on purpose. He literally is the branch in which was offered for us to receive so that we may live eternally even after death. Christ came, lived,died and now until he comes again to divide the wheat from the tares he’s interceding for us. Being that satan is the accuser of me, you and our brothers/sisters, God’s Son is in Heaven standing between us and Him to lighten that blow (grace and mercy) that the enemy wants us to experience so we can be angry with God and go to eternal damnation with him when his time is up (which is very close now).
Who doesn’t want a pillow before they slip and fall? Although this is freely given by the Most High via our Messiah we have to agree to receive salvation. The comforter that He left behind (Holy Spirit), leads and guides us in everything we say, do and think…giving us discernment in making the right choices. This makes our Heavenly Father happy with us so that we can be in peace while enjoying the fruitful plain of life until this age is passed away. There is so much we have to endure as we unconsciously wait for the end but if we stay positive, always do our best and give God the glory then we’ve covered the basics.
I could go go on and on about how Christ benefits us and His purpose for coming into the world in human flesh but I’ll let you do some research on your own. Family, live in love and do what it is that the Almighty has placed on your heart to do. Be counted worthy and don’t vex others but do what our Deliverer, the Lion and the Lamb did and represent the Most High God to the best of your ability (giving the word to save souls, healing the sick, casting out unclean spirits, ect.). Shalom
What is Sharing: Have a portion of (something) with another or others or use, occupy, or enjoy (something) jointly with another or others. (via google definitions)
To sum up sharing in my personal view, is to give and take as needed and to do it selflessly. If we take unnecessarily or give unwillingly then we have missed the mark and it won’t be counted towards us as good deeds. Being forced to do well or taking anything without a cause demonstrates to others that we have no morals or values. We are supposed to teach and treat others how we want to be taught and treated. In my opinion it doesn’t make sense to take thing we don’t need or to give to someone what you still want for yourself. There are many Biblical stories (example: the married couple Ananias and Sapphira) that prove not so good outcomes when our hearts are not in the right place. Frankly we don’t even need religion or other motivations in order to feel good or make others happy because it will just feel like the correct things to do.
Although some of these are taught at very young ages, not everyone has adapted and this will be visible through greed and selfishness which are some narcissistic qualities. For more Biblical examples please read my book “Narcissists in the Bible” on Amazon Kindle. This particular post was motivated by me watching a YouTube video and also witnessing countless actions/activities between my 9 year old and my 5 year old second cousin. I call it the “me, me, me/I, I, I syndrome” it’s very entertaining to say the least. In conclusion, when you give and take please allow your heart to lead because what gave won’t give you pleasure and what you took won’t benefit you. Remember you’re being watched…literally!
This post is kind of a personal and controversial one to a multitude of people. After reaching my mid 30’s I found out exactly who I am according to the BIBLE (the history book of true Israel). No this is not a conspiracy theory but truth, finally! I always thought that I was a Gentile when I was in religion, I had no Biblical wisdom/knowledge/understanding. I was lost and blind, listening to Pastors and Ministers while paying tithes and following all the normal church protocol. I was trained in thinking that I would upset my Heavenly Father if I didn’t contribute to the Kingdom with money and obedience. But then one day I cried out, asking the Father what was His name and how was I supposed to maintain a relationship with a Creator who had no name for me to call upon. We read all the time in scripture “call upon my name” but if we don’t know his name are we then out of order? Who is actually getting the praise, honor and worship? Well to make a long story short, the Most High started revealing Himself to me little by little. I am desperate and thirsty to know more about Him still, spending many days finding ways to get closer to Him by following His laws, statutes and commandments plus loving on His people. Through Yah (one of the names I call Him) I also started to understand who His Son the Messiah is, more than just a man that died on a tree/ cross/Calvary for my iniquity or and transgressions. Not only did I find out that our Lamb of God has been there in Genesis from the beginning of time but I also found out that He has brown skin just like me, which is in scripture and a personal motivation. I didn’t see it before because I was reading the word through the eyes of the people that taught me religiously, who didn’t want me to see the whole truth due to their restrictions to receive 501(C)(3)’s. And now that I know who I am and who He is…who is that man in many pictures on the cross that we call Jesus? Whomever he is, he is not who the scriptures call “Salvation” in my spiritual history book.
Proverbs 14:12 There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.
Scripture states that there is nothing new under the sun….that includes violence and self-defense! As a people with a Biblical history the Israelites has had to defend themselves from after the time Cain killed Able until this present time. Our enemies hate us because it is a part of the punishment/curses we are under due to the disobedience of our ancestors and even now because of our own disobedience. However there is a just way, a perfect way and YHWH will avenge us of our enemies. We can call on our Father and place our petition before his feet as David did many times before he got permission to fight in battles. Yet and still we are allowed to defend ourselves in a righteous way that will not offend our El. The Most High has allowed our people to fight in many battles to defend holy things as well as territory.
Battles such as when the Philistines took the Ark of the Covenant in 1 Samuel and the fight against the Midians lead by Gideon in Judges 7 & 8. There are many instances that Yah has even helped us to bring home the victory and He will do it again, again until the end when we win anyway! One very important thing is not moving before our Power but waiting on Him to either fight for us or to give us the go ahead to defend ourselves. Sell your cloak and buy a sword.
Psalm 109 (King James
Version)
1 Hold not thy peace, O God of my praise;
2 For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful
are opened against me: they have spoken against me with a lying tongue.
3 They compassed me about also with words of hatred; and
fought against me without a cause.
4 For my love they are my adversaries: but I give myself unto
prayer.
5 And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my
love.
6 Set thou a wicked man over him: and let Satan stand at his
right hand.
7 When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his
prayer become sin.
8 Let his days be few; and let another take his office.
9 Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.
10 Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let
them seek their bread also out of their desolate places.
11 Let the extortioner catch all that he hath; and let the strangers
spoil his labour.
12 Let there be none to extend mercy unto him: neither let
there be any to favour his fatherless children.
13 Let his posterity be cut off; and in the generation
following let their name be blotted out.
14 Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with
the Lord; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.
15 Let them be before the Lord continually, that he
may cut off the memory of them from the earth.
16 Because that he remembered
not to shew mercy, but persecuted the poor and needy man, that he might even
slay the broken in heart.
17 As he loved cursing, so let
it come unto him: as he delighted not in blessing, so let it be far from him.
18 As he clothed himself with
cursing like as with his garment, so let it come into his bowels like water,
and like oil into his bones.
19 Let it be unto him as the
garment which covereth him, and for a girdle wherewith he is girded
continually.
20 Let this be the reward of
mine adversaries from the Lord, and of them that speak evil against my
soul.
21 But do thou for me,
O God the Lord, for thy name’s sake: because thy mercy is good,
deliver thou me.
22 For I am poor and needy, and
my heart is wounded within me.
23 I am gone like the shadow
when it declineth: I am tossed up and down as the locust.
24 My knees are weak through
fasting; and my flesh faileth of fatness.
25 I became also a reproach
unto them: when they looked upon me they shaked their heads.
26 Help me, O Lord my
God: O save me according to thy mercy:
27 That they may know that this
is thy hand; that thou, Lord, hast done it.
28 Let them curse, but bless
thou: when they arise, let them be ashamed; but let thy servant rejoice.
29 Let mine adversaries be
clothed with shame, and let them cover themselves with their own confusion, as
with a mantle.
30 I will greatly praise
the Lord with my mouth; yea, I will praise him among the multitude.
31 For he shall stand at the
right hand of the poor, to save him from those that condemn his soul.
2 Samuel 10 (King James
Version)
1 And it came to pass after this, that the king of the children of Ammon died, and Hanun his son reigned in his stead.
2 Then said David, I will shew kindness unto Hanun the son of
Nahash, as his father shewed kindness unto me. And David sent to comfort him by
the hand of his servants for his father. And David’s servants came into the
land of the children of Ammon.
3 And the princes of the children of Ammon said unto Hanun
their lord, Thinkest thou that David doth honour thy father, that he hath sent
comforters unto thee? hath not David rather sent his servants unto thee, to
search the city, and to spy it out, and to overthrow it?
4 Wherefore Hanun took David’s servants, and shaved off the
one half of their beards, and cut off their garments in the middle, even to
their buttocks, and sent them away.
5 When they told it unto David, he sent to meet them, because
the men were greatly ashamed: and the king said, Tarry at Jericho until your
beards be grown, and then return.
6 And when the children of Ammon saw that they stank before
David, the children of Ammon sent and hired the Syrians of Bethrehob and the
Syrians of Zoba, twenty thousand footmen, and of king Maacah a thousand men,
and of Ishtob twelve thousand men.
7 And when David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the host
of the mighty men.
8 And the children of Ammon came out, and put the battle in
array at the entering in of the gate: and the Syrians of Zoba, and of Rehob,
and Ishtob, and Maacah, were by themselves in the field.
9 When Joab saw that the front of the battle was against him
before and behind, he chose of all the choice men of Israel, and put them in
array against the Syrians:
10 And the rest of the people he delivered into the hand of
Abishai his brother, that he might put them in array against the children of
Ammon.
11 And he said, If the Syrians be too strong for me, then
thou shalt help me: but if the children of Ammon be too strong for thee, then I
will come and help thee.
12 Be of good courage, and let us play the men for our
people, and for the cities of our God: and the Lord do that which
seemeth him good.
13 And Joab drew nigh, and the people that were with him,
unto the battle against the Syrians: and they fled before him.
14 And when the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians were
fled, then fled they also before Abishai, and entered into the city. So Joab
returned from the children of Ammon, and came to Jerusalem.
15 And when the Syrians saw that they were smitten before
Israel, they gathered themselves together.
16 And Hadarezer sent, and brought out the Syrians that were
beyond the river: and they came to Helam; and Shobach the captain of the host
of Hadarezer went before them.
17 And when it was told David, he gathered all Israel
together, and passed over Jordan, and came to Helam. And the Syrians set
themselves in array against David, and fought with him.
18 And the Syrians fled before Israel; and David slew the men
of seven hundred chariots of the Syrians, and forty thousand horsemen, and
smote Shobach the captain of their host, who died there.
19 And when all the kings that
were servants to Hadarezer saw that they were smitten before Israel, they made
peace with Israel, and served them. So the Syrians feared to help the children
of Ammon any more.

Idolatry comes in many forms and is associated with many different lifestyles. Idol worship is conjured up by having the love of or trust in people/things/deity’s, etc. Having these gods are usually taught to us at young ages directly or indirectly, either way this is a learned behavior. The Most High Power whom we call God is very clear in His law given to the children of Israel through His servant Moses in Exodus 20:1-7. We are clearly in this world but we are not supposed to be of it…hasatan is given rule over this world for a time (season) and he uses every trick he can to accuse us of unrighteousness before our Father.
What is your weakness? Whatever you desire most just might be your god/idol, power/respect, money/career, love, your children/spouse, etc. Others idolize famous people, vehicles, sex, drugs/alcohol, etc.
Let’s keep it real, the enemy can also give blessings (increase) and this is why we are warned not to covet, many even turn to witchcraft to have what The Creator isn’t ready for them to have yet. Ignorance to satan’s devices or the fear of lack and poverty can also become our downfalls, this is when we have to put ALL out faith in what The Most High can and will do for us if we are obedient to His way, His will and His word! Family tare down your alters and let the Power/God of Heaven be your one and only true love so He may take heed to your prayers again. In the book of Jasher chapter’s 8-13 in the story of Abraham it shows that he chose the will of the Father for his life. Chase Him down, seek Him, believe on Him, honor Him for all He has done from the beginning, what He is doing right now and what He will do in your future. The great I AM has a plan for his children to live and to prosper because He doesn’t want any of us to perish…IN THE END WE WIN!
Leviticus 19:4 (KJV) Turn ye not unto idols, nor make to
yourselves molten gods: I am the Lord your God.
Psalm 16:4 (KJV)
4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another
god: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names
into my lips.
Colossians 3:5 (KJV)
5 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth;
fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and
covetousness, which is idolatry:
1 John 5:21 (KJV)
21 Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.
Ezekiel 8 (KJV)
8 And it came to pass in the sixth year, in the sixth month,
in the fifth day of the month, as I sat in mine house, and the elders of Judah
sat before me, that the hand of the Lord God fell there upon me.
2 Then I beheld, and lo a likeness as the appearance of fire:
from the appearance of his loins even downward, fire; and from his loins even
upward, as the appearance of brightness, as the colour of amber.
3 And he put forth the form of an hand, and took me by a lock
of mine head; and the spirit lifted me up between the earth and the heaven, and
brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the door of the inner gate
that looketh toward the north; where was the seat of the image of jealousy,
which provoketh to jealousy.
4 And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel was there,
according to the vision that I saw in the plain.
5 Then said he unto me, Son of man, lift up thine eyes now
the way toward the north. So I lifted up mine eyes the way toward the north,
and behold northward at the gate of the altar this image of jealousy in the
entry.
6 He said furthermore unto me, Son of man, seest thou what
they do? even the great abominations that the house of Israel committeth here,
that I should go far off from my sanctuary? but turn thee yet again, and thou
shalt see greater abominations.
7 And he brought me to the door of the court; and when I
looked, behold a hole in the wall.
8 Then said he unto me, Son of man, dig now in the wall: and
when I had digged in the wall, behold a door.
9 And he said unto me, Go in, and behold the wicked
abominations that they do here.
10 So I went in and saw; and behold every form of creeping
things, and abominable beasts, and all the idols of the house of Israel,
pourtrayed upon the wall round about.
11 And there stood before them seventy men of the ancients of
the house of Israel, and in the midst of them stood Jaazaniah the son of
Shaphan, with every man his censer in his hand; and a thick cloud of incense
went up.
12 Then said he unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen what the
ancients of the house of Israel do in the dark, every man in the chambers of
his imagery? for they say, the Lord seeth us not;
the Lord hath forsaken the earth.
13 He said also unto me, Turn thee yet again, and thou shalt
see greater abominations that they do.
14 Then he brought me to the door of the gate of
the Lord’s house which was toward the north; and, behold, there sat women
weeping for Tammuz.
15 Then said he unto me, Hast thou seen this, O son of man?
turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations than these.
16 And he brought me into the inner court of the Lord’s
house, and, behold, at the door of the temple of the Lord, between the
porch and the altar, were about five and twenty men, with their backs toward
the temple of the Lord, and their faces toward the east; and they
worshipped the sun toward the east.
17 Then he said unto me, Hast thou seen this, O son of man?
Is it a light thing to the house of Judah that they commit the abominations
which they commit here? for they have filled the land with violence, and have
returned to provoke me to anger: and, lo, they put the branch to their nose.
18 Therefore will I also deal in fury: mine eye shall not
spare, neither will I have pity: and though they cry in mine ears with a loud
voice, yet will I not hear them.
Psalm 135:15-18 (KJV)
15 The idols of the heathen are silver and gold, the work of
men’s hands.
16 They have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they, but
they see not;
17 They have ears, but they hear not; neither is there any
breath in their mouths.
18 They that make them are like unto them: so is every one
that trusteth in them.
Revelation 9:20 (KJV)
20 And the rest of the men which were not killed by these
plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not
worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of
wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:
Isaiah 44:9-20 (KJV)
9 They that make a graven image are all of them vanity; and
their delectable things shall not profit; and they are their own witnesses;
they see not, nor know; that they may be ashamed.
10 Who hath formed a god, or molten a graven image that is
profitable for nothing?
11 Behold, all his fellows shall be ashamed: and the workmen,
they are of men: let them all be gathered together, let them stand up; yet they
shall fear, and they shall be ashamed together.
12 The smith with the tongs both worketh in the coals, and
fashioneth it with hammers, and worketh it with the strength of his arms: yea,
he is hungry, and his strength faileth: he drinketh no water, and is faint.
13 The carpenter stretcheth out his rule; he marketh it out
with a line; he fitteth it with planes, and he marketh it out with the compass,
and maketh it after the figure of a man, according to the beauty of a man; that
it may remain in the house.
14 He heweth him down cedars, and taketh the cypress and the
oak, which he strengtheneth for himself among the trees of the forest: he
planteth an ash, and the rain doth nourish it.
15 Then shall it be for a man to burn: for he will take
thereof, and warm himself; yea, he kindleth it, and baketh bread; yea, he
maketh a god, and worshippeth it; he maketh it a graven image, and falleth down
thereto.
16 He burneth part thereof in the fire; with part thereof he
eateth flesh; he roasteth roast, and is satisfied: yea, he warmeth himself, and
saith, Aha, I am warm, I have seen the fire:
17 And the residue thereof he maketh a god, even his graven
image: he falleth down unto it, and worshippeth it, and prayeth unto it, and
saith, Deliver me; for thou art my god.
18 They have not known nor understood: for he hath shut their
eyes, that they cannot see; and their hearts, that they cannot understand.
19 And none considereth in his heart, neither is there
knowledge nor understanding to say, I have burned part of it in the fire; yea,
also I have baked bread upon the coals thereof; I have roasted flesh, and eaten
it: and shall I make the residue thereof an abomination? shall I fall down to
the stock of a tree?
20 He feedeth on ashes: a deceived heart hath turned him
aside, that he cannot deliver his soul, nor say, Is there not a lie in my right
hand?
Galatians 5:19-21 (KJV)
19 Now the works of the flesh
are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness,
lasciviousness,
21 Envyings, murders,
drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I
have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not
inherit the kingdom of God.
