The Kingdom of Heaven is ‘Korba at hand


How is your vision?
How are your eyes?
How is your heart?
How is your lungs?
How is your life?
The Word says, Without a vision my people perish.
Proverbs 29:18 Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.
Jesus says, I came to give sight to the blind.
Isaiah 35:5 Then will the eyes of the blind be opened and the ears of the deaf unstopped.
To mend the broken hearted;
Matthew 11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
To breathe My Spirit into them;
Ezekiel 36:26-28 26 I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit inside you; I will take the stony heart out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. 27 I will put my Spirit inside you and cause you to live by my laws, respect my rulings and obey them. 28 You will live in the land I gave to your ancestors. You will be my people, and I will be your God.
You see you have been adopted into the seed of Abraham who through faith was counted righteous. It is through your faith and not by your works that you are counted righteous.
It is said that your faith is only as good and strong as the object or person in whom you place it in. When you trust the finished work of Yeshua/ Jesus and place your faith and trust in Him, you are trusting in The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob… you are trusting in the God of the Bible, you are trusting in the Messiah your Savior. He had and has rules to live by that secure the blessings for us and for our children.
Is Healing for today? Yes! Undoubtedly. However, if you look back on the Scriptures it clearly states a prerequisite;
Deuteronomy 7:12-15 (if or because you listen to the words and obey them the Lord our God will bless you and heal your body and your land.
The KING of kings has a constitution to His kingdom. That constitution is our blessing, it is our inheritance that we rejoice at receiving. Most of us have essentially moved to the land but have not received our full citizenship in the Kingdom. The reason is because we are waiting to be taken up to Heaven in order to receive the full manifold destiny of salvation. However the KING has claimed you as His own and its time you received your identity. You are a citizen, end of story.
How many have received a traffic citation and never doubted their citizenship in the community they live in? How many walk around thinking that they still have more work to do before they can claim “full” citizen rights? True you may not be walking in authority of the KING but you still have rights and privileges.
Adonai has restored to us the dominion over the earth and over the fallen one. But, because we do not know the full character of Jesus we do not know His nature. We fear that we aren’t really His ‘am segulah’ His special treasure. Jesus/ Yeshua loves you with an everlasting love and pours out His mercy and His grace all up over you. When you receive your identity as a child of the Living God, saved by the blood/covenant/ marriage to the Lamb then by the Holy Spirit you will desire to walk in a manner that reflects your Savior’s lifestyle and no longer will we adhere to the lifestyle of our past. In essence you will be born again, AGAIN!
To adhere to the thoughts and mindset of your past is like bringing ‘soul ties’ into bed with you and your spouse. It is unacceptable.
The old is gone and the new has come. You are a new creation. Say it! “I am a new creation, the old is gone. I am made new through Christ Jesus, Yeshua Ha Moshiach. I am being made new each and every day, I will possess the land that was promised to my forefathers. That land is the Written Word of God/ The HaTorah. It is the very word that Jesus quoted time and time again. It is the bible that Peter, Paul, Timothy, Titus and Matthew, Mark and all of the Talmudim, Disciples read, studied and were confirmed in.
Within the Torah is the prophecy of our rebellion and our redemption. We are indeed in the Last Days and the Spirit of Yeshua; the Spirit of God is being poured out upon all men (and women). That Spirit will move you to return to the hearts of your fathers; Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. (Luke 1:17)
By faith we receive our inheritance, and inheritance of eternal salvation through Jesus/ Yeshua. But we need to have faith tied to instruction. That instruction is not found in gurus and magic potions or new age belief systems. It is found in the precepts, principles and attributes of our LORD and Savior Yeshua.
Real men love Jesus, but not enough of us know Him well enough to look like Him and we most certainly aren’t walking like Jesus. Won’t you join in the most important movement in our community today? It is the movement toward walking and talking and behaving in a manner that would be pleasing to our God.
How’s your relationship with Jesus?
Is it strong enough? For who?
Is it all you want, do you have enough? Are you sure? What would Jesus say?
Men your are the leaders of your homes, the providers for your family and the protector to your wife and children. Through He that lives in you, you can do all things. Can you show up for Shabbat?
I am looking forward to seeing you.

The Kingdom of Heaven is ‘Korba at hand. Make straight your path!
And all these blessings shall overtake you… because you listened and do the Mitzvot.

Shalom!

Pastor Donald and Annette Maher
