If you are considering drawing close to the Almighty the following are the key steps that I have identified based on my own journey -- designed to help you fast track your relationship with Him
Please consider what follows soberly and ask yourself whether you are willing to make the effort and sacrifice and then, IF the answer is "Yes", GO FOR IT
1. Make a high quality decision -- think it through, this should be a "no going back" decision, YES, you WILL waiver but it will be much easier if you started out with the right attitude
2. Start praying intensely -- see the page on prayer for examples especially pray to be helped to build a deep personal relationship with Father and all that comes to mind around that -- pray to be led into all truth, into close relationship, open doors, close doors, take people out of your life, bring people into your life, etc, etc
3. Worship daily -- see the page on worship for examples and songs to download sing these songs as prayers, they contain important prayers and principles, sing them with deep intention
4. Immerse yourself three times and undertake the other cleansing procedures in terms of anointing and shaving discussed on the page on immersion
5. Commence a program of fasts, I find a series of three day fasts at weekly intervals praying for cleansing, growth in relationship, truth, etc to be particularly valuable, see the page on fasting, undertake other formats of fasting as Father Yah leads you (7 day, 21 day, 40 day)
6. Listen constantly to what Father says and take notes, you will find that as you cleanse yourself and fast and pray to hear His voice you will progressively hear Him more clearly, initially you WILL make mistakes
7. Be instantly obedient to what Father tells you to do, if unsure ask for confirmation in the form of a sign, if in doubt, DO IT, you WILL make mistakes but will get it right more of the time with practice
8. Be willing to change ANYTHING and EVERYTHING no matter how difficult it seems
9. Focus on bringing JOY to your Father in Heaven EVERY DAY
10. When you are sure of your commitment and are in a stable life time sexual relationship or life time celibacy and with ALL other one flesh bonds cut off (see The Virgin's Covenant) pray to be put to death with Yahooshua that Yah may live through you -- realize that if you then get into fear, unrighteous anger, loose sex or other sin the anointing WILL drain from you and you may die so ONLY pray this when you are sure in yourself of your commitment
May Yah bless you and keep you and make His face to shine upon you and give you His peace as you embark on this journey
