THIS IS THE WAY....WALK YOU IN IT!!!

"These figs are not good. Throw them all out." The customer yelled from the top of his throat. The produce clerk ran over and mentioned to the customer: "Give me a minute. I will assure you there are some good ones nourishing for you." The customer was convicted to stick around. What if you were that fig fruit? If Yehoshua was picking out his figs, would you be selected ? Yehoshua gave three years for the fig plant to bear fruit or be cursed. How long is it taking you or me to bear fruit ? Do we think we have all the time in the world ? Yehoshua reminds us that his awareness given to us brings accountability . Please do not be the fig that was naked in Luke 13:6-9 . Seek to be clothed in these last days .

I remember a son saying to his dad as they watched a family in a hot air balloon blimp reach elevated heights: "Dad... Is that big balloon not coming back down?" The dad looked intently down on his son and responded: "All puffed-up things will always come down." That response was the kicker of the reality of humanity's pride. Scriptures remind us of the diminishing of the world because of it in  1 John 2:15-17 . Scriptures direct us to avoid the helium of pride and select the deflation of humility in James 4:6 . The Messiah encourages his disciples to hang out with the lowly to prevent them from being pumped up by the worldly schemes in  Romans 12:16 . In these last days YEHOVAH is bringing this world low. We must continue to find ways to elevate in acts of service like our wonderful example YEHOSHUA in Matthew 20:28 .

I remember asking one of my favorite teachers in marketing class: "What do you love most about being a teacher"? He squinted his eyes and slowly responded,  "Mastering being a student." At first. I was puzzled, but then Yehoshua's words rang a bell in my mind:  "No student is greater than their teacher." The manual for one's living or the Scriptures reminds us that disciples are students of the Messiah. Peter & Andrew was told they would be   "fishers of men." In James we are told to be "quick to listen and slow to speak." Also James doesn't leave out that "Not many should be teachers." Now when we do come into the House of YEHOVAH , do we strive to make our words few? Let us be mindful there is a time coming when both the yisraelites shall be taught by Thee Eternal One.  As shall the gentiles be taught by Thee Eternal One. So.... Are you excited to see a world soon to be taught by their Eternal Maker as menti...

  "I'm not saying anything until I speak to my lawyer first." That's what rekindled in my head watching an episode of  the show "Law & Order." The accuser of the situation was very agitated, hoping the one being questioned would slip up by admitting guilt upon pressure and lack of evidence. That scenario plays out very well for us today. We see in the scriptures that  Satan is the "Accuser" of the brethren Revelation 12:10 His credits are up to par with accusations on Job , Joshua , and,  Peter . Oh yes, let us not forget YOU . How can we survive a demonic & unethical system  upon those of THE WAY ? Reach out to your Eternal Defendant ... YEHOVAH is not far from those who call out to Him. We are reminded that He is our Avenger ,    Refuge    and, High Tower . In a world so distant from their Maker doesn't mean The ETERNAL   is distant from  you . So Satan being the ruler of this world , now is striving to imprison us ...

  "Don't be late...We don't have all the time in the world you know". Interestingly, a phrase that echoes thirty 30 years ago feels fresh today. That's because the Scriptures allows this to be . We are told that no one fit for the Kingdom of YEHOVAH seeks to look back in  Luke 9:62 . The Scriptures also speaks to us to use time wisely as the days are evil in  Ephesians 5:15-16 . Even Satan who knows his time is short making the most of it in  Revelation 12:12 . The Scriptures produce two types of "PROS". Those who are "PROcrastinators & PROactivators"  in  Matthew 25:1-13 Since we all have been "Procrastinators" before. Let us be   "Proactivated" that we are not too late to hear in the future this wonderful line from the Messiah . So are you working on your spiritual tardiness?

 I remember an elder asking me a sincere question. How often do you speak to your best friend??? I just shrugged and said daily, as I live with her. She is my wife, with a big grin on my face. The Elder said not that best friend. I looked at him like he knew something that I didn't know. He did. He told me that the ETERNAL ONE is your best friend.  He then proceeded to inform me of a verse in John 15:14 . In turn, this leads me to a conventional verse in Proverbs 18:24 Since The ETERNAL ONE   has been there from the start.   Proverbs 17:17 started ringing in my mind. Reflecting on so many friends not being available in time of need, Proverbs 20:6 put me in silence because of The ETERNAL ONE availability. The Elder grabbed his books & started walking away.  I said. Where are you going ?? He responded,  "You need some catching up time with your best friend".
