Thank you, BOTH, dear LQ and Tams for that interchange (and peace to you and to your dear households). I check in everyday, but have been a bit busy/preoccupied lately. I think I shared somewhere... trip to DC, broken tooth... puppy (Miss Layla) had broken tooth and so had to run her around a couple/few times... work... house... work... LOLOL!

stop in nearly every day looking for something new.
Well, hang onto your hat, dear one... because something is coming. Something HUGE. I would LOVE to share it but it's not mine to start, so I will let dear Armand (peace, luv!) start the sharing, then perhaps fill in/help, if needed, where need be. Maybe not at all, but just so he knows I'm here to do so if needed (wink! LOL!).
But... huge. Well, huge to me (and dear Armand and a few others whom we shared it with). And I think it will be huge to you. I would caution ALL of you, though, to keep an open mind, as it is not something many can received. Very few, actually, I think. Once it's shared, you'll understand why. And we're not the first to get this, but I think we may be [among] the first to get and understand it ACCURATELY.

Kinda quiet around here.
Well, maybe that's about to change, if only for a bit, luv. Although, I will share with you what our dear Lord once told me, many years ago that might help during these... mmmm... lulls:
He had been sharing with me for quite awhile and I had recently met dear 'Mom and FinalCall (peace to you, both!). When that happened, I/we began receiving a LOT. A LOT. And FAST. Just tons and tons... like a rushing river. And it just kept coming and coming and coming... by the day, hour, sometimes by the minute, literally. And we were literally gulping it all down as fast as it came and we could. And then one day it stopped. Just... stopped. Nothing. I heard nothing, we received nothing.
This went on for several days and both dear 'Mom and I began to panic. Of course, I/we had the usual thoughts one would have: have I/we done something wrong? Is he angry with me/us? Am/are I/we being punished? Will he ever come back/speak again? Is there more? Is this it/all there is? Oh, no, we've left the WTBTS... and now what?? Where do we go? What do we do (now)?????? It got to the point where we were beginning to not only get quite anxious... but begin to doubt.
And then my Lord, the HOLY One of Israel and Holy Spirit, JAHESHUA, the Chosen One of JAH (MischaJah), came to me and reminded me of the Israelites in the wilderness, particularly when nothing "fantastical" was occurring... or when Moses hadn't come back down from Sinai, yet. Then, they, too had such questions, such reasonings... such doubt. And then,
they began to murmur. They murmured... because they began to allow themselves to think that perhaps they had been abandoned... or worse, JAH didn't exist at all, that everything they had seen and heard even up to that point, had been some kind of trick, some kind of illusion, dream maybe... or that they had just been misled (by Moses, if not their own ignorance).
He then asked me as to the "law" given to Israel for the gathering and eating of the manna. My answer, of course, was that they had to gather it six days and on the sixth day they had to gather enough also for the seventh because they couldn't gather any on the latter. And that for the sixth day, they had to eat it all because any leftovers would rot and stink and be taken over by maggots.
"And what," he asked me,
"Were they to do on the seventh day?""Rest!" I said.
"And could they gather food on that day?" he asked me.
And of course, I said,
"No, my Lord, they could not.""And why not?" he asked.
Because no manna fell on the seventh day, of course, and so I said so.
He then asked me,
"And so they had to eat food gathered from a previous day, yes?"To which I agreed. And then... my "eyes" were opened: had he not already provided us with so much "food" we were almost unable to eat it all, yet were NEVER hungry or thirsty because the food and water had kept coming, kept being provided? And now, here we were... thinking perhaps we'd been abandoned, yet MAYBE... we were just in a REST! But what were we doing? Murmuring. Questioning ourselves, our dear Lord... acting like we believed he had led us OUT of the [WTBTS] only now to abandon us in a "wilderness."
My heart almost stopped.
I immediately called dear 'Mom and shared what I then understood, that more WOULD come, and a LOT... but in the meantime, we needed to learn to be "satisfied" with the "omer measures" we'd been given so far, feed on those things, and wait patiently, KNOWING that although there might be no "manna" on [the seventh] day, there WOULD be some the NEXT day. That perhaps our faith was being allowed to be tested - we were, after all, Israel. Would we prove ourselves to be JUST like our ancient ancestors, who began to complain just 3 days out of Egypt?? Of course, she got it. We then shared it with dear FC, who also got it.
And from that point on, we just never looked back... or worried. Even when weeks, months, went by... and nothing new was received. I've also learned to try and not by like Adham and Eve, whose actions showed that they believed the MOST Holy One of Israel, JAH of Armies, was holding something back from them, something they SHOULD have, SHOULD know. Was entitled to. I learned from my dear Lord that had they WAITED... until it was GIVEN them... versus trying to TAKE it... they would have received what they wanted: knowing good (life) AND bad (death)... and yet, living. NOT dying. Because JAH would NEVER withhold from them something they NEEDED, were SUPPOSED to have, or were entitled to.
And He doesn't with us, either. However, our dear Lord did say to his early disciples:
"I have MANY things to tell you... but you are not ABLE to BEAR them (yet)."And so, when things are quiet, I think either (1) there's either still something for me to grasp in what I've received thus far that I have not yet fully received, so let me go back, relisten to what my Lord shared and/or ponder on/ask about that, or (2) whatever I don't know/have not received yet... is something I am not READY for. Not able to bear... yet. BUT... it WILL come, my dear Lord WILL tell me. When I able to understand it, in its right context and in relation to all else he has shared with me. But he is not withholding anything from me. He's just handling ME with love.
I know, I know... a lot to say for such a little thing (nothing new lately/kind of quiet). And I certainly don't want to negate what our dear tec shared: ANYTHING we want to know we CAN and SHOULD go to the Master for. But I do get that it's fun (sometimes; sometimes not so much - LOL!) to share... and to learn new things. From the Master, of course. ALWAYS the best. NOTHING and NO ONE supersedes that/him. May it be JAH's will that we all get there, and soon, so that the prophetic words are fulfilled:
“The days are coming,” declares JaHVeH,
“when I will make a new covenant
with the people of Israel
and with the people of Judah.
It will not be like the covenant
I made with their ancestors
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 JaHVeH.
“This is the covenant I will make with the people of Israel
after that time,” declares JaHVeH.
“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 they teach their neighbor,
or say to one another, ‘Know JaHVeH,’
because they will all know me,
from the least of them to the greatest,”declares JaHVeH.
“For I will forgive their wickedness
and will remember their sins no more.” Jeremiah 31:31-34May it be so and may it be according to JAH's will and time!
Peace to you, all!
YSSFS of Christ,
Shel
