I am currently seeking actively to meet a woman who will be a suitable life partner.

I have come to recognize that it is absolutely vital that I find a woman who is strongly anointed by Yah and who can relate to and understand my ministry and finds it valuable.

This has raised the question – when I meet someone how do I establish whether they are an anointed one or not at an early stage?

Following are some thoughts, I would welcome your comments.

They talk about Yah in the context of their relationship with Him and they talk comfortably about that relationship.

Most have had diverse supernatural experiences with Yah and are comfortable with such experiences and yet still excited by them.

They walk by faith and routinely do things that do not make sense to people who do not have experience of these things.

Most have willingly made significant sacrifices in serving Yah, they may have lost money, businesses, family, been abused physically or mentally in some form.  They see these things as a necessary part of their growth and may even see them as being, in a sense, blessings.

Most have been immersed, many more than once, they are likely to speak in tongues and they probably have an appreciation for the covenant through Yahooshua.

It is possible for someone to have a deep relationship with Yah and NOT know of the covenant of Yahooshua.

I have met anointed Jews and Muslims who have deep relationships with Yah.

They have separated themselves from the world and things of the world at a material level.

They still live in the world and engage with the world but at a material level they separate themselves from the world.

In some cases they may be visibly different; there is something about them that distinguishes them from the people around them.

Conclusion

You might like to ask yourself whether a person meeting you would be able to discern some or all of the above about you.

And, if the answer is "no" or "not sure" you might like to go back to the previous article and review what steps you might want to take to change the situation.

May Yah bless you and keep you and make His face to shine upon you and give you peace.

I regularly encounter people who disagree with what is published on this list and on the ETI websites.

Some just walk away and refuse to have contact, others say nothing and some try and reason with me by stating what they deeply hold to be true.

In responding to your reaction if you disagree with something on this list or on the websites it is important to consider the following:

If what is on the list or the websites is error, that is my problem and if I do NOT come to correction and repent before my death I will burn for some part of eternity for that sin.  So, IF you do NOT agree with me the solution is NOT to be offended by my error but to pray that Yah will show me the error of my ways that I may repent.

Note that I have repeatedly stressed that we are each responsible for what we believe and it is up to YOU to decide what you believe of what is written on the list and websites.

Note also that on the old website http://www.etimin.org/ there are articles where my understanding has developed considerably over the years and it is therefore certain that some of the articles on that site contain SIGNIFICANT error so you should pray for guidance when reading articles from that site (and from the new site http://www.end-time-issue-ministries.org/ as well).

If YOU are in error then YOU will burn for part of eternity if you do NOT repent before your death.  So, if you disagree with what is published here it is important that YOU seek the truth diligently.

Somebody said to me yesterday that Yahooshua died so we do NOT have to pay the price for our sins, YES, BUT, ONLY if you repent in this life – Yahooshua did NOT die so we can be sloppy about what we believe and teach lies – Yah HATES that teaching and you will burn terribly if that is something you believe and worse still teach to others.

Then there is the dilemma faced by many people that they subscribe to what they have been taught at church or read in books, or what the majority believe, or what they were taught as children, etc – problem is, as we have seen, nearly everything that is taught is lies!

BUT

If a person challenges or questions what is being taught they are frequently told in no uncertain terms that they are in error, that the pastor has been to Bible School and they have not, that the majority agree, etc and people are made to feel stupid for disagreeing.  They are also frequently given to understand that if they persist in discussing their “wrong doctrines” or questioning the teachings of their leaders they will be cast out of the congregation.

Under such circumstances you will STILL burn for part of eternity for believing those lies and even more so if you have taught them or propagated them BUT the pastor, writer, etc will ALSO burn, not only for their own sin but the sin they have forced you and others into.

Please remember that nearly everything that is taught in the church is false, nearly everything taught in Bible Schools is false and just about everything that the majority agree on is false – Satan is IN the church and controls the church through his demons just as he controlled the “church” in the days of Yahooshua.

The ONLY reason you should believe on the basis of something that someone else forces on you is if they are willing to commit, IN WRITING, that what they are teaching is the truth AND that they indemnify you and will burn FOR you.

IF they do that they may be walking in presumption so you might want to get out anyway.

IF they tell you that “Jesus paid the price” and you will NOT burn if you are in error then GET OUT immediately!

IF they get sarcastic or aggressive, or harsh in any way then GET OUT.

You should NOT believe based on James Robertson, or Joe Smith, or Pastor X, or some imminent historical character (note that “The Final Quest” reports that “The Great Reformer” almost did NOT make it into heaven – see the article on “Where will YOU spend eternity?”) or EVEN on what “Jesus / Yeshua / Yahooshua allegedly said” based on your corrupt English translation (interpretation) of the Greek translation of the record allegedly recorded by someone who claims to have walked with Yahooshua {Jesus} in the book {bible}.

You should ONLY believe based on your PERSONAL relationship with the Almighty Creator, Yah the eternally self-existing {The LORD, God, Allah, etc).

The ONLY time you should believe someone else is in the case of a woman joined to a man in which case you are commanded to submit to him in EVERYTHING and that INCLUDES accepting his teachings {doctrine} and he will burn for your sin.

How do I make decisions based on personal relationship?, I hear you cry!

Well, first of all you need to realize that Yah created YOU to have a personal relationship with Him – if you do NOT have a personal relationship with Yah then your ENTIRE life is POINTLESS and at the end of your life you will be cast into the fire and consumed!

Secondly you need to pray appropriately.

I regard the following prayers, in no particular order, as vital and non-negotiable – all prayers should be prayed to the Father, Yah, in the name of Yahooshua so I will leave those parts out after the first prayer:

Father, I come to you in the name of Yahooshua and I ask you to show me the level of my present deception and how to correct it;

Judge me severely and correct me harshly – if you do nothing else, pray this;

Help me to overcome to the end and be found a good and faithful servant;

Help me to draw close to you;

Help me to hear you clearly and close my ears to all voices that are not from you;

By your Spirit blow away all that I have read or heard or thought that is not of you and imprint all that IS of You;

Where I am unable to hear you please speak to me in whatever way I am able to hear you through people, video, radio, TV, books, magazines, emails, websites, other people, etc, etc;

Open my eyes to see what you want me to see and close my eyes to what you do NOT want me to see;

Enlarge my territory in knowledge of You and Your ways and Your will and Your Kingdom and in relationship with You and in anointing with Your Spirit;

Please fill me with your Spirit;

Help me to put on the WHOLE armour of Yah, the belt of truth (note that truth comes first), the sure footed shoes of the good news of peace, the breastplate of righteousness, the helmet of salvation and the shield of faith, help me to wield the sword of the Spirit which is your commandments and to pray in the Spirit at all times without ceasing (note that you can ask Yah to teach your spirit to pray in the Spirit 24/7);

Bring the people you want into my life and take the people you do not want out; -- be prepared for lots of people to leave and all sorts of unpleasant things to be revealed;

Speak to me through your emissaries {apostles} and spokesmen and women {prophets} and send them across my path; -- be prepared for unusual and sometimes difficult people who may easily offend you

Open the doors in my life that you want opened and close the doors that you want closed;

Show me all demons and curses that are attached to me and how to get rid of them, send people across my path with the anointing to deliver me; -- you need to study demons and deliverance and seek out people who can help you to get free – guaranteed that unless you have put in MAJOR effort over a number of years to get free of demons you HAVE demons and they are corrupting your thinking and leading you into all sorts of sin – you need to deal with blood-line curses and the demons associated with them, etc, etc

Show me all the sins I need to repent of; -- this is an ongoing process for years and probably decades, sit down, pray and make a list of all your sins starting with blood line stuff that you inherited and then list year by year from birth to the present all the things you did wrong and repent of them AND pray for those that you harmed with your sins to forgive you – you will need to do this several times over a period of a year or more with the assistance of the Spirit of Yah before you have cleaned up and you will still find yourself remembering things years later – Yah may require you to go to people and repent of what you did wrong to them, you may need to make restitution, restore things your stole, compensate them for losses they incurred because of the wrong you did them, etc

Show me all the people I need to forgive; -- all the people who have wronged you, forgive them and release them from their debt towards you, including things they have stolen, etc – you may be able to just pray this but you may need to go to people and actively forgive them and release them

Teach me to quieten my spirit so I can hear your still, small voice;

Help me to qualify to sit on a high throne with Yahooshua for eternity;

Put my flesh to death so that I may live by your Spirit; -- if you are truly Spirit filled the strength of your physical body will diminish and you will become increasingly dependent on the strength of the set-apart {Holy} Spirit of Yah.  If something then happens like major sin, fear, anger, strife or other things that drain the anointing of the Spirit of Yah you will find that you become very weak and you will age rapidly – strife in a marriage is a particular problem here

Help me to bring You joy every day;

Whatever else you are led to pray at any particular time.

By the way, once you start praying the above it is probable that if you are still in the formal “church” Yah will take you out very quickly.

You also need to worship regularly – not “feel good” worship, definitely NOT worshipping Yahooshua or Jesus but worship that lifts Yah up and makes Him feel good and that humbly requests Him to move in your life, etc – refer the article “2011.07.05 Some important worship songs” for a list of songs that I have used for years and keep coming back to – there are many others but not that have the significance and anointing that those on this list have.

Praying the prayers is NOT enough.

You need to be sensitive and obedient – Yah can start closing a door but you can storm through it or block it open, or ignore it, or ...

You can ignore His voice.

You need to PRACTICE hearing His voice, you need to get on your knees so you can hear better, you need to do things because you THINK you heard His voice – if you think Yah has spoken to you then ACT, if you are unsure then ask for confirmation or guidance but if it is NOT a massive issue then just tell Him you are going to do what you think He has told you to do and DO it and check in with Him if you did it right – ask Him to guide you, to close and open doors, etc.

Spending hours or days, or weeks checking and double checking is SIN and it is NOT helpful – walk by faith – JUST DO IT!

Expecting other people to confirm and advise you -- if you are young and inexperienced -- well, maybe for a while -- but Yah wants YOU to hear Him and obey Him.

It is better to do something because you think Yah told you to do it but are not sure than it is to NOT do that thing.

Yah wants obedient servants and servants do NOT argue with their master – yes we do, but that is NOT what Yah wants.

You have to go through SERVANT to get to FRIEND and confidante – it will likely take some years before Yah takes you into His confidence and asks your opinion and consults with you the way He did, for example with Abraham and, unless you really work at it you are not very likely to get there – you do not get to become the Friend of Yah by accident, you get there through commitment and hard work and laying down your life.

If it is a really BIG thing, like sell everything, give it to the poor and move to … halfway round the world, THEN it is reasonable to do a bit of checking and ask for confirmation but even then there is a point at which Yah does NOT expect even such a decision to take you much time – when He tells you to raise your staff over the sea and tell it to open in front of millions of people Yah does NOT want you to take five months of arguing and asking Him for confirmation, He expects you to do it NOW and if you got it wrong take the risk of making a fool of yourself BUT chances are you DID hear Him because His ways ARE foolishness to the ordinary man (including almost all those who claim to believe).

In my experience the above is just the entry point.

It is NOT ENOUGH!

I only started to get dramatic revelation eight years after I had been walking intensely with Father when He led me to go on eight three day fasts at intervals of ten days – in other words three days fasting and seven days eating normally – in that case the fasts culminated on the 31^st of December 2000 and Yah then gave me the message “The Wrath of {God} Yah for the Church” and said the church was breaking ALL of the Ten Commandments.

During those 80 days I received massive revelation, about the true names Yah and Yahooshua, about the true Sabbath, about the true feasts, about the pagan and Satanic nature of Christmas, etc, etc.

On those fasts during the three days all I took was the bread and wine – remembering the covenant made by Yahooshua {communion} and limited water.

In the year that followed I continued to get continuous revelation, saw Yah move significantly in my life and wrote hundreds of articles which are included on the old website at http://www.etimin.org/msg3.htm

In the years that followed I fasted periodically, most significantly on the Day of Atonement.

Then, towards the end of 2010, Yah impressed on me to go on seven three day fasts at intervals of seven days, three day’s fasting and four days eating normally, culminating on the 26^th of December 2010 (Christmas).

On the first two fasts and the last fast I drank only a small amount of Grape Juice and ate a small amount of unleavened bread twice a day because I had to take medication.

On the remaining fasts I took the bread and wine morning and evening and drank a significant amount of water as well as I was advised that repeated withholding of liquid could cause permanent damage to my kidneys.  My kidneys were quite painful at the end of the seventh fast and took some months to recover fully – so there is need for caution, do NOT do total three day fasts unless you are SURE Yah requires it.

Note that a total three day fast is required to break certain witchcraft and get rid of certain demons and curses and shift certain other things.

Over that period of fasting and in the months that followed my understanding of various things consolidated and I wrote well over one hundred articles all of which are on the new website at:

http://www.end-time-issue-ministries.org/Articles/tabid/503/language/en-US/Default.aspx

In 2010 I was also told that in order to enter into full blown ministry operating in the power gifts of the Spirit of Yah, conducting spiritual warfare at a level where one could combat major demons, witches, etc, heal the sick, raise the dead and by used for other miracles it was necessary to go on a forty day total fast only drinking water.  I have met several people who have done such fasts and who walk in GREAT power and authority in the Spirit realm, one of these people had been used to raise about 19 people from the dead, one who had been in the morge for two days!

Note that you are likely to become extremely weak during a forty day water only fast and are unlikely to be able to engage in business or even normal domestic activities after about two to three weeks so the series of three day fasts is more practical for many people but is NOT a substitute for a forty day fast IF you are really going ALL OUT.

On the basis of this experience I have to say to you that IF you claim to be serious about serving Yah and you have not fasted at the sort of levels referred to above then you are kidding yourself and playing games.

IF you are serious about serving Yah you need to pray the prayers above REGULARLY and start fasting – it is as simple as that!

If you disagree with what is on the two websites, taking account of the fact that particularly some of the older articles DO contain error and taking account of the fact that I may still have error I have not recognized then you are welcome to let me know you think I am in error.

BUT

Taking account that I have prayed most of the prayers above over more than a decade, that I have been through ALL the sanctification processes I mention above AND others and that I have fasted extensively I ask you to understand that I will NOT pay much attention to what you have to say in disagreement with me UNLESS you have gone through a similar cleansing process.

So, rather than dismissing me as a madman or heretic, rather than walking away and cutting me out of your life, rather than speaking ill of me, pray ALL the above prayers sincerely and regularly, examine your life and clean it up comprehensively, go on at least one series of eight three day fasts at ten day intervals, walk the road you find yourself on after the fasts for six months and then IF you still disagree with me we can sit down and talk – I FULLY expect that if you do what I have outlined here you will almost certainly AGREE with me on all the critical issues (

AND

You will be far closer to Yah than you have ever imagined possible.

Conclusion

A high level of sanctification and hard work is required to come to a deep personal relationship with Yah and a clear understanding of what really IS truth.

May Yah bless you and keep you and make His face to shine upon you and give you peace.

In response to my recent article on "Covenant NOT New Testament" I was challenged about my statement that less than 2% of the bible is inspired.

The person who challenged me was coming from the perspective of teachings which claim that the entire bible "is the living word of God and breathed by God".

As I debated the subject with this person I came to a better understanding of what I was saying in that article which is basically that most of what is recorded in the bible is words written by men with limited or no specific anointing or inspiration.

In terms of what Yah said to me regarding less than 2% of the book being inspired this relates to words given directly by the Spirit of Yah.

By way of illustration, in Malawi in 1994 Yah spoke through me directly for about an hour as I prophesied over three other men and myself – during this time the only control I had over what was coming out of my mouth was that I could have chosen to shut my mouth.  I had no foreknowledge of what came out of my mouth, Yah was speaking through the vocal chords of James Robertson in the first person.

Yet we all knew that it was Yah speaking.

Thereafter I taught for about a further two hours and during those two hours I said things that again I had no foreknowledge of, we all knew it was Yah speaking through me although I was then speaking as James and the level of inspiration even then was lower than during the first hour.

Yah has NEVER again spoken through me with that level of anointing and inspiration.

I have written in excess of six thousand pages of documents relating to the things of the Almighty and I would like to believe that in most of these there has been some level of anointing or inspiration, yet I have to say that to my knowledge NONE of those documents were fully inspired.

I have also had Yah give me revelation in business and I would like to believe that there has been a fair level of anointing and inspiration in much of what I have written and done there as well.  Yet, to the best of my knowledge NONE of those documents were fully inspired either.

The rest of the time there has been some level of James Robertson in the message – Yah has been speaking to my spirit, my spirit has received the message and integrated it with my thoughts to produce spoken or written words which contain some level of anointing and inspiration.  However, in terms of the definition that I am seeking to develop in this article these words are NOT "inspired" in the full sense of the word!

It does not take inspiration to recount history although some level of anointing IS useful in ensuring that the most relevant information IS recorded – this applies to at least half of the bible if not more – so these historical accounts cannot be regarded as inspired.

Much of the rest of the bible comprises writings of one kind or another, including accounts of words spoken by various people that may be inspired at some level but are NOT fully inspired.

There are some limited passages which recount words spoken directly by Yah and words spoken by Yah through various spokesmen {prophets} including Yahooshua, Moshe, Ezekiel, Jeremiah, etc – this is the 2% I am referring to.  Much of Proverbs reports inspired words and some of the Psalms are inspired.  That is the limit.

And, once one lets go of the idolatry associated with believing that "the bible is the living word of God" then it no longer matters.  The bible IS a USEFUL collection of historical writings about interactions between the sons of Adam and Yah the eternally self-existing, in fact, arguably the most important collection that exists in widespread use – why does it have to be more?

Remember, Yah has spoken BILLIONS of words to the sons of Adam a minute fraction of which are recorded in the bible.

Yah has inspired billions of pages of writings at some level through the sons of Adam of which a minute fraction are contained in the bible.

Why limit Yah?

If YOU want inspired words then the best thing to do is to draw closer to Yah until He can speak directly and clearly to you and through you – STOP LOOKING TO OTHER SONS OF ADAM FOR THIS!

Remember also that Yah has called spirit filled believers to REIGN with His Spirit for a thousand years – Yah is looking to you and me to be filled with His Spirit but ALSO to exercise our discretion and intellect to execute Yah's will on earth.

Yah did NOT create us to be glove puppets, Yah created us to have an intelligent, deep, personal relationship with Him.

Conclusion

The quest for inspired words should take you directly to Yah.

Less than 2% of the words in the bible are directly breathed or dictated by Yah, the rest have some level of input from the writers.

May Yah bless you and keep you and make His face to shine upon you and give you peace.

In a recent conversation the subject of "I am executed with Yahooshua {Jesus} it is no longer I that live but the anointing of the Spirit of Yah {Christ} that lives in me" (Galatians 2:20) was raised.

Pondering this conversation later it occurred to me that many people do not know how to achieve this spiritual state in their own lives and so I thought I would write a bit about why one would seek this state and how one would go about achieving it should one decide it was something of value.

This article seeks to answer these questions.

Before we can discuss accomplishing death with Yahooshua we need to define what it is.

Death with Yahooshua is a spiritual state in which the Spirit of Yah {the LORD} indwells a person at such a level that the Spirit of Yah guides and directs that person at a level that in some measure it is Yah living in and through that person rather than the person living in their own strength and ability.

Death with Yahooshua is NOT necessarily a visible spiritual state.  Some who are truly dead with Yahooshua AND who have achieved a high level of anointing (infilling with the set-apart {holy} Spirit of Yah) will be visibly different but most of the time there is no visible difference.

Death with Yahooshua is a state in which the will, thoughts, words and actions of the person who has died with Yahooshua are subject in large measure to the Spirit of Yah and their own earthly desires are at some material level laid aside in order for Yah to live through them.

Most people would question why on earth one would seek "death with Yahooshua" – the short answer is that this is what we were created for – to have such a close and intimate relationship with Father Yah that He can live in and through us.

That is "the way" that Yahooshua refers to when he states "I am the way, the truth and the light" – it is the way of self-sacrifice, of setting aside self and worldly desires so that Yah can live in and through us and therefore reign on earth.

We are called to align our intellect, our minds, our wills, our words and our actions with that which we are lead to do by the Spirit of Yah in order that He can move through us.

This is the highest and most important spiritual state on earth, it is why we were created, to be in such close fellowship with our Daddy in Heaven that He infills and indwells us.

If you have any fear of the Day of Judgement, if you have any respect for Daddy Yah, if you desire to please Him and bring Him joy then dying with Yahooshua is a non-negotiable necessity.

If you are happy to blunder along from day to day, do not think there is a Day of Judgment and do not fear spending eternity in the lake of fire and brimstone then this article is NOT for you.

Without Faith it is not possible to please Yah.

Dying to self or dying with Yahooshua is first and foremost a work of faith.

It is an invisible state, a state that is not readily amenable to intellectual interpretation, it relates to a state of being and a level of relationship with Daddy Yah so, before one can seek this state one must believe by faith that Daddy Yah exists, one must choose by faith to seek to please Him, one must choose by faith to seek to die with Yahooshua and one must believe by faith that all these elements are valid, valuable and achievable.

Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things unseen.

Once you have chosen to exercise your will to seek death with Yahooshua by faith the next step is to speak the words that are necessary to bring this into existence.

All things are created by words, our entire knowledge of the things of the Kingdom of Yah is framed and defined by words and, in some cases, words associated with tangible experiences.

Prayers are simply petitions or requests to the Court of Heaven for consideration by the presiding Judge, Father Yah, assisted by our advocate, Yahooshua the anointed of Yah and opposed by the prosecutor or accuser Satan and his cohorts of Angelic and demonic beings.

Before you can die with Yahooshua you must at some level take a decision to seek death with Yahooshua and you must then SPEAK out the words that are necessary for this state to be achieved.

There is no simple recipe, each person will walk this road using different words, prayers, etc but the principles are valid for all.

Following are some prayers that you might choose to pray in seeking to die with Yahooshua.

All should be prefaced with wording along the lines of "Father Yah I come to you in the name of Yahooshua and I ask that …" and should end with wording similar to "I ask this in the name of Yahooshua" – it is up to you to determine the wording that seems most appropriate to you.

In praying these prayers please keep in mind that the change that you are seeking is complex, multifaceted, abstract, intangible and takes time to achieve – you will need to pray these prayers regularly for years and do what you find to do from time to time in order to reach the required spiritual state.

Be aware that this is a journey that you are embarking on that will last for the rest of your life if you are willing to walk this road for that long, and you should walk it for the rest of your life because it leads to the most important spiritual state available to us as human beings.

Prayers might include:

… I ask you to put my flesh to death with Yahooshua and to fill me with your set-apart Spirit that I may serve you more perfectly …

… I ask you to help me to overcome to the end …

… I ask you to help me to live my life so I may be found to be a good and faithful servant on the Day of Judgment …

… I ask you to help me to bring you Joy every day of my life …

… I ask you to show me the level of my present deception and how to correct it …

… I ask you to judge me severely and correct me harshly that I may serve you more perfectly …

… I ask you to enlarge my territory in knowledge of you and your ways and your will and your kingdom …

… I ask you to take the people you do not want in my life out …

… I ask you to bring the people you want in my life in …

… I ask you to close the doors in my life that you desire closed …

… I ask you to open the doors in my life that you desire opened …

… I ask you to grant me sensitivity to know when you are opening or closing doors or taking people out or in and I ask you to help me not to get in your way …

… I ask you to speak to me in whatever way I am able to hear you – through people, radio, TV, videos, movies, newspapers, magazines, books, emails, websites or in any other way I am able to hear you …

… I give my life to you totally to do with as you see fit …

… humble me when I become proud …

… correct me whenever I step out of line …

… my desire is to please you and serve you to the full extent that you desire for the rest of my life …

You should also pray defensive prayers, take the bread and wine of the covenant regularly (I do so daily), as discussed in other articles on the ETI List.

Pray anything as you are led and, by faith, expect that your prayers will be answered.

Be alert to guidance in whatever shape or form it comes to you and do your best not to kick against the guidance that will follow from praying prayers such as those listed above.

In the first year after I asked Father to take the people He did not want in my life out he removed a large number of people from my life.

Be aware that some of the above prayers may result in almost immediate answers but that most of the time the answers to these prayers will come on an on-going basis for years and years.  As a guide, death to self will probably take at least five to ten years of committed and obedient service to Yah before you reach a level where the level of death to self becomes apparent to those around you.  It can happen more rapidly if you really "go for it!"

During this time you may have many intense experiences and may experience great rejection, misunderstanding, opposition, criticism, etc.

The forces of darkness HATE people who make the choices and pray the prayers listed above so expect all hell to break lose against you when you start seeking this state of being.

Expect personal loss, financial loss, material loss, emotional pain beyond anything you have ever considered possible, you will, in time if you are diligent and committed experience the pain of death in a pronounced and enduring fashion.  BUT, IF (and it is a BIG IF) you continue, if your commitment does not cave it, if your resolve is significant you will eventually attain your goal.

You may not achieve the fullness of what is possible, very few people do and in this age there is no one who is walking at anything near the fullness of what is possible but that should not discourage you.

Your benchmark is Yahooshua NOT other people in this age.  Your goal should be to walk in the power and authority and anointing that Yahooshua walked in, to do the works Yahooshua did and GREATER works, to be an example to others and to roll back the oppressive deep darkness that blankets the world today.

In order to die with Yahooshua words are not enough, actions are also required.

Faith actions will be required as Father leads you down the road He has chosen for you.

He might ask you to sell all you own and give to the poor, He might tell you to move to another country, He might tell you to do any number of things and it is a measure of your commitment and death to self as to how readily you obey in what He calls you to do.

Father will not only call you to do things that involve what people might regard as noble sacrifice, He can ask you to do any number of things.

It might be as simple as stopping and giving a word of knowledge or encouragement and some money to a person at the side of the road but it could be much more than that.

However, in your quest to be put to death with Yahooshua one of the most important actions that Father is likely to require of you is fasting.

Yahooshua fasted for forty days in the wilderness before he began his ministry, there are other examples.  Moses fasted twice for forty days while he was on the Mountain with Yah.  In both cases they undertook total fasts – in modern terms it is probable that you will die before you can complete a forty day total fast with no food and no water – one must be walking under an extremely intense anointing before such a fast is possible.

However a forty day fast in which only water is consumed is entirely possible and I know a number of people who have undertaken such fasts, some more than once.  There is a school of thought which holds that one should not enter full time ministry without undertaking a forty day water only fast.

You should ONLY undertake such a fast IF Father clearly instructs you to do so and you should be careful not to engage in demanding physical activity.  It is probable that for the last ten to twenty days of the fast you will be too weak to do much and you may find yourself confined to bed.

It is vital to understand that it is entirely appropriate for you to feel weak – you are after all in a very real sense seeking the death of your flesh in a forty day fast and this weakens your resistance to the Spirit of Yah operating in your body and in your life.

It really is so that one is seeking a state in which the presence of the Spirit of Yah in your body is so great that you are dead without His Spirit and you are only able to live by His Spirit within you.

Anything less than this is a weak counterfeit of what Yah desires in your life.

I personally would suggest that if you do such a fast you might take a small quantity of bread and grape juice up to three times a day, pray the terms of the covenant and ask Father to put your flesh to death with Yahooshua and fill you with His Spirit. Others would see this as a compromise.

If you are not able to take time off work at the level that will allow you to be too weak to work for a period of several weeks you might consider other forms of fast.

I have once undertaken eight three day fasts at intervals of ten days – seven days eating normally and three days fasting and I have also once undertaken seven three day fasts at intervals of seven days – four days eating normally and three days fasting.

In the latter case I undertook a total fast barring a small amount of bread and grape juice for the first three days and last three days of the seven fasts – I was on medication that precluded me fasting absolutely totally.  For the remaining five fasts I drank reasonably large quantities of water.

It is regarded as inadvisable that one should go on more than one total three day fast (no solids or liquids) in a period of three to six months as there is apparently a risk of kidney damage.

Do whatever Father leads you to do at any point in time, this is NOT recipe stuff.

One may also make personal physical sacrifices in other ways such as spending considerable periods of time praying or worshiping or reading inspired texts – I once read the entire bible in about seven days spending the entire feast of unleavened bread reading.

Father may ask other sacrifices of you.

The issue is obedience and drawing close to Father NOT ritual or recipe.

As you journey down this road EXPECT to hear Father more clearly, EXPECT Him to test your obedience, the more you obey the more you will grow.

Different people will grow in different ways, if you do not find yourself healing the sick and raising the dead do not be discouraged, Father may be anointing you in other ways, including in wisdom in business.

Disobedience is the number one obstacle to achieving death with Yahooshua – if you refuse to do the things that Yah asks you to do, whether as simple as giving a beggar some money and encouragement or giving a prophetic message to a high profile minister of religion to giving away some asset you are emotionally attached to, to fasting, to … you will NOT grow in Him and you will NOT die to self and achieve death with Yahooshua.

The more you obey, no matter what, the more you will grow.

Worrying about what people think, particularly what people at church think or what the Pastor thinks or your wife or husband thinks or … is another major factor that will prevent you from growing in Yah and dying to self.  Fear of people and the reactions of people is probably the single biggest factor that prevents people achieving what we are discussing in this article or which causes people who have achieved very high levels of relationship, anointing and death to self to fall away.

If you go this route expect to be taken out of the formal church establishment as an almost guaranteed part of the journey.

Pride, lust and other factors can all get in the way.

Remember that the entire panoply of the forces of darkness hate those who seek to die with Yahooshua and they will do all they can to distract you, lie to you, tell you it is not important or that you have got there already, etc.

As you may have realized, the essence of death with Yahooshua is about becoming a truly anointed one.

You may also have realized by now that the lack of the above knowledge, prayers, fasts, etc is one of the major reasons why there are so few truly anointed one's on earth.  Remember that a few months ago Yah said to me that there were less than 100,000 people on earth who were truly anointed and of those there were less than 5,000 who were sufficiently anointed to be making some sort of difference on earth.

The question for you is whether YOU are one of those or whether you ASPIRE to be one of those and whether you are willing to pay the price to become one of those or to retain your standing if you are already one of those.

Remember that there are only two conditions – you are either getting closer to Yah or closer to Satan, you cannot get a certain distance up Yah's mountain and remain there indefinitely, you must keep climbing or the forces of darkness will pull you back.

Remember also that the word "Christian" at least nominally means "anointed one" and that virtually none of those who call themselves "Christian" are in fact truly anointed at a level where they are actually doing something of value for the Kingdom of Yah – where are YOU on this scale? – truly an anointed one or simple a nominal "Christian"?

Conclusion

The highest achievement on earth is to become a truly anointed servant of Yah, one who has put Yah first, who has died with Yahooshua, this is the MOST VALUABLE prize to bring to the throne of Judgment on THAT GREAT DAY!

Are you prepared?

Are you willing to make those sacrifices?

May Yah bless you and keep you and make His face to shine upon you and give you peace.

I have become increasingly aware that the worship songs one sings and listens to can have a profound effect on one's walk with Father

I have a small selection of songs, mostly from a CD called Vineyard Psalms 1 and a few from a Benny Hinn CD from about 15 years ago and a few from I think a Hillsong CD of about ten years ago all of which are on one composite CD which is almost all i listen to and worship with we have added a few more in recent weeks that seem particularly important

I have a large selection of CD's but i keep coming back to these

They include "Soften my heart Yah {Lord}" and others which speak to things that i hold to be vitally important

It seems to me that by singing along with these really important words one gets closer to Father while most music does not do this

Following is a list of the songs, the names have been changed to reflect the correct names of Father although the songs themselves still have the traditional names -- i substitute with the correct words as i sing

Draw me close to you

For the Lord Yah is Holy

Holy Holy Holy Yahweh Almighty

Holy is Yah on High

Holy Spirit You are Welcome in this Place

Holy Spirit Come and Fill me up

I am Yah that Healeth Thee

Let Me Live in the Glory of Your Grace

Purify my Heart

Release Your Power

Soften my Heart Yah

There is No One like You

This is the air I breathe

Unending Love

My Help comes from you

Yah Almighty I Adore thee

Yah can

Yahweh Jireh

You are my hiding place

You have turned my mourning into dancing

If you would like a copy of this CD please send me your postal address.

May Yah bless you and keep you and make His face to shine upon you and grant you His peace

Yesterday, while worshipping i was impressed to select a particular sequence of tracks on the CD i was listening to which is a collection of what i consider to be the most powerful worship songs that i have in my collection.

I was also impressed to note down key phrases from each track.

The context of the worship is that i was on the second day of the second fast of a series of seven three day total fasts which i feel the Almighty has impressed on me to embark on with regard to a very difficult situation in my personal life, getting free from some stuff that has held me in bondage and preparing for new ministry activities in 2011.

It seems to me that the message that these phrases give is relevant to others apart from myself and i have therefore taken the liberty of posting them to you as well.

3. Yah (the true name of the Almighty) can see the way

5. Yahooeh (Yah the eternally self existing) Yireh my provider

7. I know Your favour

11. Worship Yah on high, there is no one like Yah

15. Exalt Yahooeh our El (Mighty One) and worship at His feet

17. Yahooeh release your power and let your presence fall

I hope this blesses you as it blessed me.

Please note:

Yah is the true name of the Almighty and it blesses Him when we call Him by His true name

Yahooeh (or Yahweh) means Yah the eternally self existing and is the designation most frequently applied to Yah in the bible

Yireh is a Hebrew word meaning provider

Warm regards and blessing
