         Matthew 14:28-31 “And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water
And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.
But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.
And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?”🖤
   
 
      Beloved , A new season has come , and I feel inspired to write this blog. Away from social media , so that anyone with access to the internet can be encouraged. I don’t know how long I will write this blog.  I cant predict where I will be next year or next week. For I live on Ahayahs time and not my own  , but while I am allowed to  write and encourage I will .  This blog is to encourage anyone the Lord causes to stumble upon it. Each week that I am allowed to,  on Fridays.  The theme each time will be  staying faithfull , which is a broad subject, and completely influenced by The Most High. There is a reason I spell this word with two Ls and not one L.  Yes I pray for us to be a faithful, but also a life with Christ also requires us to be FAITH-full. Almost , about 5  years ago I was called upon the waters like Peter, and there have been times I have looked down and have been almost over taken by the waves , but praise The Most High God for grace, I have been able to overcome and stand right back and press on in faith, towards Paradise.

      Beloveds, this story above I encourage you to read. Many Post Constantine and Pre Constantine teachers mention this famous story, from encouraging us to maintain our focus on Christ, to even one a few years ago. A man who is a post Constantine (after the roman influence on Christians aka Christianity) Christian Pastor said , Peter should have stayed in the boat. He said Peter began to sink because he wasn’t in his lane. That right there , shocked me ,  to talk this way of the Apostle Peter, the man whom Christ said He would build His church. Peter the one who knew exactly who Christ was when everyone else didn’t. Peter the one who cut an ear off of a soldier to protect Christ. This Peter, whos two books of the bible surpasses Pauls many , in conviction and understanding .  This Peter who also denied our redeemer Christ 3 times, but instead of feeling sorry for himself gathered the Body of Christ and built the church and continued in the gospel with humility. This Apostle Peter  was FULL of Faith.
        We all have our lanes beloved, there were 11 other Apostles, who chose to stay in the boat.  Was it wrong for them to be in the boat while Peter walked in faith upon the waves? When I read this passage, that is not what I see. I see everyone in their place, Christ is our endgame, serving Him now so we can serve Him in heaven and eventually serve the Father in heaven, Apostle Peter is the rock, Peters Faith was meant to be a little bit extra, for Faith is a gift , we are not measured the same amount. (romans 12:3). The 11 that stayed in the boat were in their lane and Peter the rock was in His , being the example , being the leader, and walking by Faith so that others could follow suit. If Peter was not in His lane Christ would have said ” why didn’t you stay in the boat Peter”, but instead Christ said , Oh ye of little faith , why did you doubt. . Which is something you tell someone who is capable of completing a task had they believed in their abilities.

   Doubt, blocks so many blessings. It can keep us from our purpose and from our Father in heaven. doubting Christ, doubting His commandments and laws, doubting his messengers , doubting He could dwell and work in us , beloveds, is a sin  For it says it in romans (14:23) anything not of Faith is sin. Doubt has blocked me oh so many times. For some their lust is sexual, maybe they like to steal , or can not stop lying , gossiping , but for me , I fight daily the urge to doubt , my lane and to doubt that I heard the Father in heaven correctly. It is the doubt in myself and my abilities that has prevented me from trying some things and missing out on opportunities and blessings that the Lord gave. I do believe what is meant to be will be , and our destination has already been set. But how we get there is up to us, we can rack up blessings after blessings opportunities after opportunities or we can  miss out because we cant let go of the sin that hinders us. But when we let go and do our best use all of our strength to not sin habitually and presumptuously, and choose righteousness, our faith increases. Beloveds, I pray the future blogs will encourage you as it will encourage me to write them , to stay seeking The Most High God, to stay in Christ, to stay in the hedge of The Lord, which we get by meditating on the laws and commandments and keeping/sharing the testimony of Christ. I pray the blog will encourage you to depend on the Holy Spirit and the wisdom she provides from the Father in heaven and  not the wisdom in the world. For one will lead to Eternal Life and the other Death and Eternal Damnation and the lake  of fire. I pray for peace for us all and joy and constant growth and love, true love, the love that corrects us , the love that wont let us be but changes us and comforts us , this love from the Father in heaven and hangs on His law and commandments, and I pray we will endure faithfully with a smile , in Christ / Yashaya name . Ahman🖤

   Once again I will do this blog as long as I can , ofcourse missions and traveling and unforseen events may postpone one or another, but I will do my best. I choose to post here because , social media may not always be an option , and the truth is censored , so atleast here no one is need of a social media account to be encouraged 🖤🥰

Take care beloved , and endure this next week faithfully with a smile .

   The Sabbath started this Friday evening , I pray you are obedient to observe it , and wise enough to enjoy it . 🥰
