Shabbat Shalom Mishpacha!
There is another pandemic, a plague of spiritual blindness in the Body of YAHUSHA! And the blind are leading the blind. We have Shepherds tempting The Most High due to their disobedience to government, and YAHUAH's timing, and instruction. I see and hear many asking where are the Prophets and Watchmen during this time. We are out here! We are interceding for the Saints and Shepherds! The problem is many Pastors (Shepherds) are preoccupied being everything but a Shepherd. Today its not enough to be a Shepherd. He or She must be an author, a creative, visionary, actor, spiritual advisor, life coach, or anything else that is cool or relevant to the world. All of these things seem to have Pastors unable to fulfill their responsibility of submitting themselves before ABBA for the Saints. There is a large focus on MONEY and prosperity just as the Temple was when YAHUSHA walked the earth. In my prophetic voice blog "His Ruach is saying" I share what Ruach HaKodesh show me regarding Pastors who are still having church service but aren't serving... In another blog "Judgement of the Shepherds" I further highlight these things. As Ruach HaKodesh leads me I believe this is the ROOT of all that is happening. A plague of Spiritual Blindness connected to the Great Apostasy which must happen before YAHUSHA returns for His Bride (the church, us). YAHUSHA warned us over and over to not be deceived! The days were shortened for the elect (obedient and chosen) lest we be deceived. This is telling of the temptation to follow blindness or our own ways of thinking and the rise of the false prophets in the last days!
My people perish for a lack of knowledge! It's time to really dig in and ensure the foundation of your faith and salvation is based on the Living Word of our YAHUSHA HAMASHIACH and live by His Ruach! It's time to STOP following what you have been taught. Your traditions, like the Pharisees are making the word of The Most High of no effect. They are like a Cain offering. Unacceptable unto ABBA. There is a way that seems right unto man but the end leads to death. YAHUSHA told us in scripture that anyone who wants to be His Disciple must first deny themselves, take up their cross, and FOLLOW HIM! The Ruach HaKodesh dwells in you after you have received salvation in order to give you power to become Sons and Daughters of The Most High. Its His Ruach that will lead you to how you should live your life, not your Pastor or Shepherd necessarily.
1 John 2:27 Tree of Life Version (TLV)
27 As for you, the anointing you received from Him remains in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you. But as His anointing teaches you about all things—and it is true and not a lie—and just as it has taught you, abide in Him.
Remember flesh and blood didn't reveal that YAHUSHA was Messiah to Peter! It was His Ruach HaKodesh!
Brothers and Sisters, so many want this narrow path to be easy (no denying of self), but now is your time to connect to an open heaven. I have to inform you that YAHUAH ELOHIM is in control of everything, even this coronavirus.
YAHUAH ELOHIM is in control of everything.
If I shut up heaven that there is no rain, or if I command the locust to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among My people, when My people, 0ver whom My Name is called, humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their evil ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. Now My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to the prayer offered in this place. 2 Chronicles 7:13-15 TLV https://bible.com/bible/314/2ch.7.13-15.TLV
The fear of the Most High is the beginning of all knowledge! Don't expect everyone to understand you, especially if they don't have His Ruach!
Spiritual blindness – What is it?
Spiritual blindness is a condition that an individual has when they are unable to see YAHUAH ELOHIM, or understand His message. Although YAHUAH ELOHIM is working all around us, pursuing us and showing us His glory, some people cannot perceive His divine workings (Acts 28:26–27). A person who does not see YAHUAH ELOHIM, does not know YAHUAH ELOHIM, and unfortunately they are spiritually perishing (2 Corinthians 4:3–4;Revelation 3:17). In short, those who reject YAHUSHA HAMASHIACH are spiritually blind and they are lost (John 6:68–69).
Ruach HaKodesh has been speaking to me that many don't know the character of The Most High because they don't read the word and in particular the Old Testament. My challenge to use is to read the Old Testament and see if His Ruach doesn't reveal to you His name!
To be spiritually blind can also be translated as being spiritually undiscerning, as explained in1 Corinthians 2:14: "The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of YAHUAH ELOHIM, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned." This means that to a spiritually blind individual, spiritual things are meaningless (foolish).
Those who reject YAHUAH's Word are spiritually blind (2 Peter 3:3). They cannot understand the truth of Scripture, which sounds foolish to them (1 Corinthians 1:18). When an individual rejects Messiah's message, he is unsaved and needs his eyes to be opened to the importance of YAHUSHA in his or her life (John 12:48;Hebrews 2:2–4).
In the Scriptures, Paul describes Satan as the cause of spiritual blindness in his letter to the Corinthians. "In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of YAHUSHA HAMASHIACH, who is the image of God" (2 Corinthians 4:4). Satan, who is the father of lies (John 8:44), aims to lead humans away from YAHUAH's truth in any way he can. The Bible calls Satan extraordinarily evil (John 8:44), the cause of all temptations (Luke 4:2;Hebrews 4:15;1 Corinthians 7:5), and the destroyer of flesh (1 Corinthians 5:5). Satan even attempts to blind believers, seeking to trap us and cause us to distance ourselves from God through temptation, fear, loneliness, worry, depression, and persecution (2 Corinthians 2:11;Ephesians 6:11;1 Peter 5:8–9).
It is easy to succumb to the devil's schemes when we are separated from YAHUAH ELOHIM and relying on ourselves. The world is enticing, and humanity's strong inclination to make ourselves happy clouds over what YAHUAH wants for us. When people persist in disobeying YAHUAH and serving themselves, He gives them over to spiritual blindness (John 12:40;Romans 1:24–32). Graciously, YAHUAH offers a way of sight. Left to our own devices, humans are spiritually blind and without hope. But YAHUSHA is the light of the world and He can open our eyes to see.
In YAHUSHA, we are given spiritual sight. And we can exercise this spiritual sight by allowing YAHUAH to reign in our lives and by following His commands, which shield us from Satan's traps (1 John 4:13). Although Satan aims to blind even believers to YAHUAH's goodness and His promises, YAHUAH has provided us with the spiritual armor that we need to be safe from the devil's schemes (Ephesians 6:10–18).Mark 8:18 says, "Having eyes do you not see, and having ears do you not hear? And do you not remember?" We must remember that YAHUSHA is our light, and cling to His truth so that we are never blinded to YAHUAH. YAHUSHA is the light that can save us from living a life estranged from Him.
Whose Wisdom Is Foolish?
18 For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 19 For it is written,
“I will destroy the wisdom of the wise and bring to nothing the understanding of the intelligent.”[b]
20 Where is the wise one? Where is the Torah scholar? Where is the debater of this age? Hasn’t God made foolish the wisdom of the world? [c] 21 For seeing that—in God’s wisdom—the world through its wisdom did not know God, God was pleased—through the foolishness of the message proclaimed—to save those who believe. 22 For Jewish people ask for signs and Greek people seek after wisdom, 23 but we proclaim Messiah crucified—a stumbling block to Jewish people and foolishness to Gentile people, 24 but to those who are called (both Jewish and Greek people), Messiah, the power of God and the wisdom of God. 25 For the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
26 For you see your calling, brothers and sisters, that not many are wise according to human standards,[d] not many are powerful, and not many are born well. 27 Yet God chose the foolish things of the world so He might put to shame the wise; and God chose the weak things of the world so He might put to shame the strong; 28 and God chose the lowly and despised things of the world, the things that are as nothing, so He might bring to nothing the things that are— 29 so that no human might boast before God. 30 But because of Him you are in Messiah Yeshua, who became to us wisdom from God and righteousness and holiness and redemption— 31 so that, just as it is written, “Let him who boasts, boast in Adonai.”[e]
For the Saints we have this promise
Psalm 91
2 Thessalonians 2 Tree of Life Version (TLV)
The Man of Lawlessness
2 Now we ask you, brothers and sisters, concerning the coming of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah and our gathering together to Him, 2 not to get shaken out of your mind or disturbed—either by a spirit or a word or a letter as if through us—as though the Day of the Lord[a] has come. 3 Let no one deceive you in any way, for the Day will not come unless the rebellion comes first and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the one destined to be destroyed. [b] 4 He opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he sits in the Temple of God, proclaiming himself that he is God.[c]
5 Don’t you remember that when I was still with you I was telling you these things? 6 And you know what now holds back, for him to be revealed in his own time. 7 For the mystery of lawlessness is already operating; only there is one who holds back just now, until he is taken out of the way. 8 Then the lawless one will be revealed. The Lord Yeshua will slay him with the breath of His mouth and wipe him out with the appearance of His coming. [d] 9 The coming of the lawless one is connected to the activity of satan, with all power and signs and false wonders, 10 and with every kind of wicked deception toward those who are perishing. They perish because they did not accept the love of the truth so as to be saved. 11 For this reason God sends them a delusional force, to lead them to believe what is false, [e] 12 so that they may be judged—all those who did not believe the truth but delighted in wickedness.[f]
1 Corinthians 2 Tree of Life Version (TLV)
Wisdom that Rests on God’s Power
2 When I came to you, brothers and sisters, I did not come with excellence of speech or wisdom, proclaiming to you the mystery[a] of God. 2 For I decided not to know about anything among you except Yeshua the Messiah—and Him crucified. 3 I was with you in weakness and in fear and in much trembling. 4 My speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power— 5 so that your faith would not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.
6 We do speak wisdom, however, among those who are mature—but not a wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing. 7 Rather, we speak God’s wisdom in a mystery—a wisdom that has been hidden, which God destined for our glory before the ages. 8 None of the rulers of this age understood it—for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. 9 But as it is written,
“Things no eye has seen and no ear has heard, that have not entered the heart of mankind— these things God has prepared for those who love Him.”[b]
10 But God revealed these things to us through the Ruach.[c] For the Ruach searches all things—even the depths of God. 11 For who among men knows the things of a man, except the man’s spirit within him? In the same way, no one knows the things of God except the Ruach Elohim. 12 Now we have received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God—so we might come to know the things freely given to us by God. 13 These things we also speak—not in words taught by human wisdom but in words taught by the Ruach, explaining the spiritual to the spiritual.
14 Now a natural man does not accept the things of the Ruach Elohim, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned. 15 But the one who is spiritual discerns all things, and he himself is discerned by no one. For
16 “who has known the mind of Adonai, that he will instruct Him?”[d] But we have the mind of Messiah.
Scriptures regarding Knowing YAHUAH (which removes spiritual blindness)
“The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness For His name’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me All the days of my life; And I will dwell in the house of the LORD Forever.” Psalms 23:1-6
Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path.” Psalms 119:105
““It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’ ”” Matthew 4:4
“I love those who love me, And those who seek me diligently will find me.” Proverbs 8:17
“For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.” Hebrews 4:12-13
“All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.” II Timothy 3:16-17
“Your word I have hidden in my heart, That I might not sin against You.” Psalms 119:11
“Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.” Colossians 3:16
“Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” 2nd Timothy 2:15
“Thus says YHWH: “Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, Let not the mighty man glory in his might, Nor let the rich man glory in his riches; But let him who glories glory in this, That he understands and knows Me, That I am YHWH, exercising lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness in the earth. For in these I delight,” says YHWH.” Jeremiah 9:23-24
“For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. For it is written: “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, And bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.” Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? For since, in the wisdom of God, the world through wisdom did not know God, it pleased God through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe. For Jews request a sign, and Greeks seek after wisdom; but we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumbling block and to the Greeks foolishness, but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.” 1st Corinthians 1:18-25
“For you see your calling, brethren, that not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called. But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty; and the base things of the world and the things which are despised God has chosen, and the things which are not, to bring to nothing the things that are, that no flesh should glory in His presence. But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God—and righteousness and sanctification and redemption— that, as it is written, “He who glories, let him glory in the LORD.”” 1st Corinthians 1:26-31
“However, we speak wisdom among those who are mature, yet not the wisdom of this age, nor of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing. But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the ages for our glory, which none of the rulers of this age knew; for had they known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. But as it is written: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.” But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God. These things we also speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one. For “who has known the mind of the LORD that he may instruct Him?” But we have the mind of Christ.” 1st Corinthians 2:6-16
“Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? If anyone defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which temple you are. Let no one deceive himself. If anyone among you seems to be wise in this age, let him become a fool that he may become wise. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, “He catches the wise in their own craftiness”; and again, “The LORD knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are futile.”” 1st Corinthians 3:16-20
“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.” Romans 12:1-2
“If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us.” 1st John 1:6-10
“Therefore lay aside all filthiness and overflow of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls. But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror; for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was. But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does.” James 1:21-25
“But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.” John 1:12-14
“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.”” John 3:16-21
“And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.” John 17:3
“Yahshua said, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? For the Son of Man will come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and then He will reward each according to his works.”
““I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word; that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me. And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one: I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me. “Father, I desire that they also whom You gave Me may be with Me where I am, that they may behold My glory which You have given Me; for You loved Me before the foundation of the world. O righteous Father! The world has not known You, but I have known You; and these have known that You sent Me. And I have declared to them Your name, and will declare it, that the love with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them.”” John 17:20-26
“For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time,” 1st Timothy 2:3-6
Shabbat Shalom,
Prophet Brandon
