‘Joint Ambition’ (Yeshuah)

Joint Ambition (Yeshuah)

it is careless to say
you can't do something
when you can easily
go the way
each and every day

let Me† say
what I† need to say
keeping wolves at bay
if you have time
in your day

it helps to listen
what Yeshuah†
has to say

time is of the essence
time is slipping
but time is also awakening

you don't have to penalize
yourself
for what others
have to say

truth mocks no one
see brighter days
in the looks
on a poor man's face
who walks at a slow pace
one he cannot win
keeping up with greed's pace

the poor man accepts
instead
grace
what's gentle and easy
but hard and simple
his hands at work
singing a slow tune
beneath his breath
as he guides mules 
across a field
or sands along the edge
of a long board
or carefully places thread
in the eye of a needle
or slowly and carefully
cooks a meal
seasoning it just so
as the taste is divine

a poor man or woman
doesn't wrestle with time
each day is each day
resting and working
singing and enjoying
all God's† great creations

unlike the rich man
who runs carelessly
after material possessions
thinking about
what others are thinking
worrying, considering
worrying
how much money is needed
how much more
can be made

this unsettling way
leads to all sorts of sin
causing darkness
to fall
as light tries to come in

it is simple to live
but living has to be governed
trusting in a king
far, far away
justifies nothing
to the human race

it's not in their face
but it's ever so present
to slow down
a greedy man's pace
then speed it up again
for pure pleasure
of control

it's always been
God†, the Father†, calls for faith
in an unseen king
to have faith in self
to discipline self
to guide self

but man has a hard time
with self
facing self is hard, tiring
shameful, embarrassing
…all to self

so man focuses on
what he can get
instead of what he can give

a tiring world
always collapses over time
of man's need to 'get'

man works extremely hard
satisfying the ego
instead of the self

pride begins to consume him
until he can't admit
his faults, his injury

it's the way of man

only in his destruction
does he return to faith
and this time
only lasts a little while

history doesn't mend
blame doesn't weaken
but gets strong
because man needs proof
proof of his very existence
he cannot accept self
as the self lives now
not then, not will be
but now

since he cannot leave ego out
he's constantly searching
for this proof

in the ancient world
in the present world
in the world that is not yet

from outside the body
to inside the body

he stumbles on his own self
passing it by
as he rushes to find this proof
when 'existence' is standing
right in his shoes

in careful observation
while looking inside the body
man cannot accept
...he must look deeper
constantly searching

technology is making man
a fool
placing his strength
and his weakness
in a machine of wires

man will fail
for he's reaching 
too far in

Notes: The photograph chosen is from November 9, 2019: Certainty of Visions.

(August 12, 2022)—He led me after to Jeremiah and the Discourses: Jeremiah 23:1-4 through Jeremiah 23:7,8; Jeremiah 33:14-16 through Jeremiah 33:23-26; Jeremiah 31:27,28 through Jeremiah 31:38-40.

An example of the years in between the Prophet’s lives and that of Jesus: Abraham: approximately 2042 years (42 generations); Samuel: over 2,000 years; Elijah, Elisha, Debra, Amos, Hosea: over 1,000 years; King David: approximately 1,000 years (41 generations); Isaiah: 700 years; Jeremiah: 500 years. Just to tell you of a few….

Knowing the above numbers, below is a list of the Prophets and you can see how God sends His messages.

Eli is said to not be a prophet by scholars but he told Samuel’s mother that she would have a son, even though she had been barren. She had a son plus many other children after Eli spoke to her.

Seers (Prophets): Abraham, Moses, Aaron, Samuel, Elijah, Elisha, King David, Solomon

There were many Prophetess in the old Testament, Debra being one of the strongest. Ann of the tribe of Asher was the Prophetess in the new Testament who testified to the truth of Jesus’ birth, that of being the Savior, when His parents brought Him to the temple to be baptized.

The following Prophets all wrote testimony about Jesus the Christ, beginning 700 years before Jesus was born. King David was way before that and he, too wrote about the Savior, the King to come.

The Major Prophets of Jesus: Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Daniel.

The 12 Prophets (minor prophets because they have the shortest books in the Bible) of Jesus: Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi.

Pre-Exile Prophets: Obadiah, Joel, Jonah, Amos, Hosea, Isaiah, Micah. Babylonian Captivity Prophets: Zephaniah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Daniel. Post-Exile Prophets: Haggai, Zechariah, Malachi.

He had to remind them over and over of this coming Savior. This is how He works. And still many refuse to believe these things happened, refuse to acknowledge that there are some greater than the human race amongst us. There is.

Then after all of this prophesying about a coming Savior, as research says, there was 400 years of silence before Jesus came. That means God let them chew on the information given. During all this time, there were plenty of false prophets and God left the people on their own to decide. A testing of hearts. So when the time came, the people would surly be all mixed up because of the teachings of the Pharisees and the truth. Why? Because Jesus came here to die. His blood had to seal a New Covenant. This had to happen. God has to move things at a pace that will have the people move on their own accord…to see the fullness of their hearts.

Then Yeshuah (Jesus) came. Everything that had been written came to pass, and those riding the coattails denied Him because it would upset their ‘righteous‘ bandwagon…their status and their money and their personal glory among the people. They were so involved in the ego that Jesus walked right pass them and they didn’t recognize Him. They were looking for gold…glamour and glitz…when God sent humble!

It’s been 2,022 years since He resurrected and ascended to the kingdom. God has NOT been silent for 2,022 years! And now He is speaking loud and you, because like the time before Jesus, the people were all messed up, confused…So are you. God has left it open for discussion. He wants to know if you are worthy of a kingdom. Jesus has always been ‘alive‘. The things that you don’t understand because of false shepherds holding the yoke around your neck is frightening.

First Discourse—

Regathering of Remnant—‘Woe to the shepherds who are destroying and scattering the sheep of My pasture!’ declares the Lord. Therefore this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says to the shepherds who tend My people: ‘Because you have scattered My flock and driven them away and have not bestowed care on them, I will bestow punishment on you for the evil you have done,’ declares the Lord. ‘I Myself will gather the remnant of My flock out of all the countries where I have driven them and will bring them back to their pasture, where they will be fruitful and increase in number. I will place shepherds over them who will tend them, and they will no longer be afraid or terrified, nor will any be missing,’ declares the Lord.—Jeremiah 23:1-4

Righteous Branch of David—‘The days are coming,’ declares the Lord, ‘when I will rise up to David a righteous Branch, a King who will reign wisely and do what is just and right in the land. In His days Judah will be saved and Israel will live in safety. This is the name by which He will be called: The Lord Our Righteousness.’—Jeremiah 23:5,6

Restoration Will Be Witness—‘So then, the days are coming,’ declares the Lord, ‘when people will no longer say, ‘As surely as the Lord lives, who brought the Israelites up out of Egypt,’ but they will say, ‘As surely as the Lord lives, who brought the descendants of Israel up out of the land of the north and out of all the countries where He had banished them.‘ Then they will live in their own land.’—Jeremiah 23:7,8

Second Discourse—

Righteous Branch of David—‘The days are coming,’ declares the Lord, ‘when I will fulfill the gracious promise I made to the house of Israel and to the house of Judah. In those days and at that time I will make a righteous Branch sprout from David’s line; He will do what is just and right in the land. In those days Judah will be saved and Jerusalem will live in safety. This is the name by which it will be called: The Lord Our Righteousness.’—Jeremiah 33:14-16

Spiritual Leadership—For this is what the Lord says: ‘David will never fail to have a man to sit on the throne of the house of Israel, nor will the priests, who are Levites, ever fail to have a man to stand before Me continually to offer burn offerings, to burn grain offerings and to present sacrifices.‘—Jeremiah 33:17,18

Certainty of the Promise—The word of the Lord came to Jeremiah: ‘This is what the Lord says: ‘If you can break My covenant with the day and My covenant with the night, so that day and night no longer come at their appointed time, then My covenant with David My servant—and My covenant with the Levites who are priests ministering before Me—can be broken and David will no longer have a descendant to reign on his throne. I will make the descendants of David My servant and the Levites who minister before Me as countless as the stars of the sky and as measureless as the sand of the seashore.’—Jeremiah 33:19-22

Israel In the New Kingdom—The word of the Lord came to Jeremiah: ‘Have you not noticed that these people are saying, ‘The Lord has rejected the two kingdoms He chose’? So they despise My people and no longer regard them as a nation. This is what the Lord says: ‘If I have not established My covenant with day and night and the fixed laws of Heaven and Earth, then I will reject the descendants of Jacob and David My servant and will not choose one of his sons to rule over the descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. For I will restore their fortunes and have compassion on them.’—Jeremiah 33:23-26

Third Discourse—

Time of Rebuilding—‘The days are coming,’ declares the Lord, ‘when I will plant the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the offspring of men and of animals. Just as I watched over them to uproot and tear down, and to overthrow, destroy and bring disaster, so I will watch over them to build and to plant,’ declares the Lord.—Jeremiah 31:27,28

Personal Accountability—‘In those days people will no longer say, ‘The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children’s teeth are set on edge.’ Instead, everyone will die for his own sin; whoever eats sour grapes—his own teeth will be set on edge.—Jeremiah 31:29,30

A New Covenant—‘The time is coming,’ declares the Lord, ‘when I will make a  new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah. It will not be like the covenant I made with their forefathers when I took them by the hand to lead them out of Egypt, because they broke My covenant, though I was a husband to them,‘ declares the Lord. ‘This is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after that time,’ declares the Lord. ‘I will put My law in their minds and write it on their hearts. I will be their God and they will be My people. No longer will a man teach his neighbor, or a man his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ because they will all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest,’ declares the Lord. ‘For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more.’—Jeremiah 33:31-34

Israel Always Special—This is what the Lord says, He who appoints the sun to shine by day, who decrees the moon and stars to shine by night, who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar―the Lord Almighty is His name: ‘Only if these decrees vanish from My sight,’ declares the Lord, ‘will the descendants of Israel ever cease because of all they have done,’ declares the Lord.—Jeremiah 31:35-37

A Lasting Jerusalem—‘The days are coming,’ declares the Lord, ‘when this city will be rebuilt for Me from the Tower of Hananel to the Corner Gate. The measuring line will stretch from there straight to the hill of Gareb and then turn to Goah. The whole valley where dead bodies and ashes are thrown, and all the terraces out to the Kidron Valley on the east as far as the corner of the Horse Gate, will be holy to the Lord. The city will never again be uprooted or demolished.’—Jeremiah 31:38-40
