Personal relationship with Yahushua
In the beginning, Adam and Eve lived in perfect harmony with YAH , Until they disobeyed YAH and their disobedience brought sin into the world and humankind was separated from the presence of YAH . YAH is pure and Holy and sin can not be in his presence, so those with sin in their lives that are not covered in the blood of Yahusha and forgiven are separated from YAH , but YAH made a way for humanity to have a relationship with him once again and this is through his Son Yahusha and his sacrifice.
Yahusha often spoke of sin in metaphors that illustrate the havoc sin brings into our lives. He described sin as blindness Matthew 23:16-26, sickness Matthew 9:12, being enslaved in bondage John 8:34, and living in darkness John 8:12; 12:35-46. Yahusha taught that this is a universal condition and that all people are guilty before YAH . Luke 7:37-48.
Yahusha also taught that both inner thoughts and external acts render a person guilty of sin Matthew 5:28. He taught that from within the human heart comes evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, envy, slander, arrogance, and folly Mark 7:21-23.
He affirmed that YAH is fully aware of every person's sins, both external acts and inner thoughts; nothing escapes His notice Matthew 22:18; Luke 6:8; John 4:17-19.
Of course, some people are more morally upright than others. But we all fall short of YAH 's Set Apart standards Romans 3:23. It makes no difference how much or how little you've sinned; you still fall short of YAH 's perfection.
YAH sees you as a precious treasure, and He desires to have a close relationship with you. More than anything He wants you to have an intimate love relationship and friendship with Him. YAH wants you to spend time with Him in intimately communication with Him, to enjoy fellowship with Him, to trust and follow his commandments, to give your life meaning and purpose through him.
It does not matter what you have done or who you are, YAH Loves you and you must know that he does not require you to clean up or get right before you can come to him for forgiveness. He is always there waiting on you to call on his name and ask him for forgiveness of your sins, so he can begin to clean you and forgive you of your sins and build a relationship with you. He will help you turn away from your sinful nature as you learn more about him and his ways. He loves you just as you are and wants you to trust him and rely upon him. To receive his sacrifice, so you can have a relationship with him and receive the promise of eternal life with him.
Yahusha said
If you really knew me, you would know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him. Phillip said, " Yahusha , show us the Father and that will be enough for us." Yahusha answered: "Don't you know me, Phillip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, 'Show us the Father? Don't you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you are not just my own. Rather, it is the Father living in me, who is doing his work. John 14:7-10
When you're deeply in love with someone, you can’t wait to spend time with them. You enjoy being in their presence as much as possible. No words need to be spoken. Nearness is enough. This is what we should desire with our creator and Savior because this is what he desires from us.
Having a personal relationship with Yahusha begins the moment we realize our need for Him, admit we are sinners, and in faith receive him as our Savior. Our heavenly Father has always desired to be close to us, to have a relationship with us. Before Adam sinned in the Garden of Eden Genesis 3
Both Adam and Eve knew YAH on an intimate, personal level. They walked with Him in the Garden and talked directly to Him daily. Due to their sin, we all became separated and disconnected from YAH .
We can sense that separation and distance from YAH because of our sin. The Bible tells us that "All of us like sheep have gone astray; each of us has turned to his own way." Our attitudes and immoral lifestyles are an active rebellion towards YAH and his ways and is evidence of what the Bible calls sin. The result of sin in our lives is death, spiritual separation from YAH . Although we may try to get close to YAH through our own efforts, we inevitably fail.
What many people do not realize is that Yahushua gave us the most amazing gift, the ability to communicate with YAH again and the opportunity to spend eternity with our Heavenly Father and our ha Mashiach and Savior Yahusha, if we will just trust and believe in Him and what he did for us on the cross.
“For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of YAH is eternal life through Yahusha” Romans 6:23.
YAH became a human being in the Person of Yahusha to give us the example of how we are to live and to take on our sin, be killed, and then be raised to life again in three days, proving His victory over sin and death. “Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Yahushua” Romans 8:1. (link to special video presentation)
If we confess our sins he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness 1 John 1:9. We are then forgiven and become acceptable to YAH then we can have a direct relationship with Him through Yahusha.
Yahusha is YHWH 's only provision for our sin. Through him we can know and experience YAH 's love and plan for our life.
Even though we deserve to pay for our own sins, we can not because the payment for sin is eternal death and this is Eternal spiritual death, separated from YAH ’s presence, which is Hell!
Yahusha died in our place so that we would not have to be separated from YAH again.
On the tree, Yahusha took all of our sin on himself and paid the ultimate price, the highest price that could be paid, so that no other payment or sacrifice would ever have be made again for sin. He did all this because he loves us so much and wanted us reconnected to himself again, so those that believe, call upon his name and live their live for him will become the body of Yahushua, the Church, the heirs to the Kingdom of YAH . Because of Yahusha's death on the tree, our sin doesn’t separate us from YAH any longer.
Yahusha promises eternal life, that he is the Son of YHWH and the only way we can know YAH and reconnected back to YAH again. This is why Yahusha said; "I am the way, the truth and the life; no one can come to YHWH except through me. John14:6
It was Yahusha's love for us that caused him to endure the tree. And he now invites us to come to him, that we might begin a personal relationship with him and the Father.
Yahusha came so that each of us could know and understand YAH in a personal way. Yahusha alone can bring meaning and purpose to life. Having a personal relationship with Yahusha means we should include him in our daily lives, we should pray to Him, study His word, and meditate on it in an effort to get to know Him intimately. We should pray for wisdom James 1:5, which is the most valuable asset we could ever have. We should take our requests to Him daily in Yahusha's name John 15:16. Yahusha is the one who loves us enough to give His life for us Romans 5:8, and He is the one who bridged the gap between us and YAH, so we can know him intimately.
A personal relationship with YAH is not as hard to have as we might think and there is no mysterious formula for getting it. As soon as we confess our sins and accept Yahusha as our ha Mashiach and Savior from within our heart and ask the Ruach ha Kodesh into our lives we become children of YAH, we receive the Ruach ha Kodesh and as we begin to study the word of YAH and pray daily, laying our lives down daily to be lead by the Sprit of YAH, become obedient to the commandments of YAH and surrender to the will of YAH through the leading of the Ruach ha Kodesh our hearts and lives will begin to be changed and we will begin to hear the voice of YAH .
Samuel heard the voice of YAH, but did not recognize it until he was instructed by Eli 1 Samuel 3:1-10. Gideon had a physical revelation from YAH, and he still doubted what he had heard to the point of asking for a sign, not once, but three times Judges 6:17-22, 36-40.
To hear YAH's voice we must recognize it. Yahusha, “My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me” John 10:27.
Those who hear YAH ’s voice are those who belong to Him and are those who have been saved by grace through faith in Yahusha. These are the sheep that listen and recognize His voice, because they know Him as their Shepherd and they know His voice. If we are to recognize YAH's voice, we must belong to Him; spend time with him and listening for his voice by being quiet before him.
We hear His voice when we spend time in prayer, studying the Bible, and quiet time listening for his voice. The more time we spend intimately with YAH and His Word, the easier it is to recognize His voice and his leading in our lives. We should be so familiar with YAH ’s Word that when the Ruach ha Kodesh speaks to us or leads us, it is clear that it is YAH.
Pour your heart out to him in prayer. He knows your secrets anyway, but when you trust him with your innermost hurts and longings, he will respond with his healing love, giving you comfort and understanding.
Praise YAH for his holiness. Thank him for accepting you with your faults and shortcomings. Read your Bible with a sense of expectancy, because YAH will speak to you from his written Word, giving the guidance and encouragement you need.
YAH speaks to us so that we may understand truth, receive revelations and direction. While YAH can speak audibly to people, He speaks primarily through His Word, through circumstances, through other people and sometimes through the Ruach ha Kodesh to our consciences. By applying what we hear to the truth of Scripture, we can learn to recognize His voice. Everything he speaks and shows us will be confirmed by the word of YAH.
This is how we have a relationship with Him, we must trust his word and believe he loves us and hears our prayers and that all his promises are true. Although we may not see changes immediately, we will begin to see them over time and all the truths will become clear.
When we seek YAH's favor or gifts instead of a deeper relationship with him, we are choosing the gifts instead of the giver. YAH wants our attention on him over anything else in our lives, as YAH is a jealous YAH. The commandment of YAH is that we should have no other GOD's before YHWH, YAH should always be first, then Family, then Work and play. If we put things in there proper order then even our personal relationships will become more rewarding and successful. Put YAH in the center of all your relationships and they will be blessed!
Yahusha assured us that if we first seek the Kingdom of YAH and his righteousness, all our needs will be taken care of. YAH is well aware of our needs and promises to fill them; you shall lack no good thing as long as you obey his commandment, surrender to his will and live according to his leading.
We're assured that heaven will be a place of indescribable beauty and joy, because that's where YAH is. The relationship you build with him while you are here on Earth will only be magnified when you meet him face to face.
So seek Yahusha for himself. Pursue him with all your heart, because he is the greatest gift of all.
Seek and you shall find
"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.
Matthew 7:7
* The Old Testament and New Testament words for “seek” means:
* to seek the face of YAH; to desire ; to examine or explore ; to seek earnestly ; to diligently search for ; to wish for ; to crave; to investigate ; to pursue.
Only YAH can touch our hearts and give us the desire to seek and to know Him and to want His will & ways above our own:
I will give them a heart to know me.” Jeremiah 24:7
“YWHW of our fathers, keep this desire in the hearts of your people forever, and keep their hearts loyal to you. And give my son Solomon the wholehearted devotion to keep you commands, requirements, and decrees...” I Chronicles 29:18-19
“For it is YAH who works in you to will and act according to His good purpose.” Philippians. 2:13
Intimacy with YAH and the fullest possible fellowship and partnership with Him comes as you desire and seekto know Him, His will and His ways. Prayer and spending time with YAH is all about desire & passion for YAH, it is not a “religious” discipline it a way of life!
“If you are pleased with me, teach me your ways, so I may know you and continue to find favor with you... Show me your glory.” Exodus 33:13, 18
“One thing I ask of the Lord, this is what I seek; that I may dwell in the house (presence) of the YAH all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the YAH and to seek Him in his temple.” Psalm 27:4
“As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, O YAH. My soul thirsts for YAH, for the living YAH. When can I go and meet with YAH? Psalm 42:1-2
“O YAH, you are my YAH, earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water. I have seen you in the sanctuary and beheld your power and your glory... your love is better than life...” Psalm 63:1-3
“How lovely is your dwelling place, YAH Almighty, My soul yearns, even faints for the courts of YAH; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living YAH.” Psalm 84:1-2
“Now devote your heart and souls to seeking the YHWH.” 1 Chronicles 22:19
“And you my son Solomon, acknowledge the YAH of your father, and serve him with wholehearted devotion and with a willing mind, for YAH searches every heart and understands every motive behind the thoughts. If you seek Him he will be found by you; but if you forsake Him, He will reject you forever.” 1 Chronicles 28:9
“For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. Jeremiah 29:11-13
“I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Yahusha my Messiah, for whose sake I have lost all things. O consider them rubbish that I may gain Yahusha.. I want to know Yahusha and the power of his resurrection...” Philippians 3:8-11
When you come to know Yahusha personally, then you begin to be able to trust YAH . If you don't know YAH, you're not going to trust him. What's amazing is when we come into a personal relationship with Yahusha the sovereignty of YHWH begins to take on a whole new dimension in our lives. The more you know Yahusha the more you will be able to let go of your life and give control of your life over into Yahusha's hands.
haSatan's chief tool in keeping us at a distance from YAH is materialism. When we get caught up in that, we begin to make idols out of our comfort, convenience and financial cushions. To really grow in a relationship with Yahusha we need to shatter those idols and when we do we're able to trust in YAH more.
When we come into genuine relationship with Yahusha, we fall in love and we will begin to have Love for YAH and our neighbors that we have never known. It's when we come to know Yahusha intimately that the unconditional love that Yahusha pours into our hearts, enables us to love Him back and flows through us into the lives of our family members and those around us, but most importantly into our relationships with our wives and husbands.
It is our duty and obligation to know our spouse intimately, to know each others likes, dislikes, how we like to be touched, loved and what is expected of one another, keeping in alignment to how the word of YAH says we should respect, love and treat each other. 23For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Yahusha is the head of the church: and he is the savior of the body.24Therefore as the church is subject unto Yahusha, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.25Husbands, love your wives, even as Yahusha also loved the church, and gave himself for it. Ephesians 5:23-25
Aspire to be like Yahusha. When we come into an intimate personal relationship with Yahusha, we begin to resemble him and are molded into the image and likeness of Yahusha.
Once we enter this intimate personal relationship with Yahusha, we begin to invite others into this relationship that we have discovered, because it is a relationship worth having and is the most beneficial relationship we can have.
The beginning of the relationship
By His sacrificial death on the cross, Yahusha took the sins of the entire world on Himself and made salvation available for everyone 1 John 2:2. But this salvation is not automatic. Only those who personally choose to believe in Yahusha are saved. This is the consistent testimony of Yahusha. Listen to His words:
* "For my Father's will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day" John 6:40.
* "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies" John 11:25.
Choosing not to believe in Yahusha, by contrast, leads to eternal condemnation: "Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of YAH's one and only Son" John 3:18.
When you believe in Yahusha the Savior, a wonderful thing happens. YAH forgives you of all your sins. All of them! He puts them completely out of His sight. Below are verses, which speak of the forgiveness of those who have believed in Yahusha:
"In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of YAH's grace" Ephesians 1:7.
Yahusha said, "Their sins and lawless acts I will remember no more" Hebrews 10:17-18.
"Blessed is he whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered. Blessed is the man whose sin the Messiah does not count against him and in whose spirit is no deceit" Psalm 32:1-2.
"For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him; as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us" Psalm 103:11-12.
Such forgiveness is wonderful indeed, for none of us can possibly work our way into heaven, or be good enough to warrant YAH's good favor. Because of what Yahusha has done for us, we freely receive the gift of salvation. It is a gift provided solely through the grace of YAH. Ephesians 2:8-9. All of it is ours by simply believing in Yahusha.
If YAH is speaking to your heart now, then now is your opportunity to believe. "Seek YHWH while he may be found; call on him while he is near" Isaiah 55:6
Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of YAH. We accept Yahusha by faith!
YAH saves you by his special favor when you believed. And you can't take credit for this; it is a gift from YAH. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it.
Accepting Yahusha means believing that Yahusha is the Son of YHWH, invite him to guide and direct our lives. Yahusha said, "I came that you might have life, and have it more abundantly." "I'm standing at the door and I'm knocking. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in."
If Would you like to place your faith in Yahusha for the forgiveness of your sins, thereby guaranteeing your eternal place in heaven beside Yahusha, then pray the following prayer.
Keep in mind that it's not the prayer itself that saves you. It is the faith in Yahusha and what he did for us that saves you. So, let the following prayer be a simple expression of the faith that is in your heart: The precise words you use to commit yourself to YAH are not important. He knows the intentions of your heart. If you are unsure of what to pray, this might help you put it into words: Yahusha, I want to know you. I want to have a relationship with you. Please come into my life and forgive my sins. I believe that you for died on the cross for my sins, so that I could be fully forgiven and accepted by you, providing a way to communicate with the father again. Only you can give me the power to change and become the person you created me to be. Thank you for forgiving me and giving me eternal life. I give my life to you. Please do with it as you wish. AMEIN.
Ruach ha Kodesh please Baptize me and fill me with your presence and power and lead me in this life, so that I may live a life pleasing to the father, help me to do the will of the Father and to line up with my destiny in this life. I ask this in the name of Yahusha, AMEIN
If you sincerely asked Yahusha into your life just now, then he has come into your life as he promised. You have begun a personal relationship with YAH.
What follows is a lifelong journey of change and growth as you get to know YAH better through studying the Bible, prayer and interaction with other believers.
*Link to understanding the translation of the name Jesus
Yahusha often spoke of sin in metaphors that illustrate the havoc sin brings into our lives. He described sin as blindness Matthew 23:16-26, sickness Matthew 9:12, being enslaved in bondage John 8:34, and living in darkness John 8:12; 12:35-46. Yahusha taught that this is a universal condition and that all people are guilty before YAH . Luke 7:37-48.
Yahusha also taught that both inner thoughts and external acts render a person guilty of sin Matthew 5:28. He taught that from within the human heart comes evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, envy, slander, arrogance, and folly Mark 7:21-23.
He affirmed that YAH is fully aware of every person's sins, both external acts and inner thoughts; nothing escapes His notice Matthew 22:18; Luke 6:8; John 4:17-19.
Of course, some people are more morally upright than others. But we all fall short of YAH 's Set Apart standards Romans 3:23. It makes no difference how much or how little you've sinned; you still fall short of YAH 's perfection.
YAH sees you as a precious treasure, and He desires to have a close relationship with you. More than anything He wants you to have an intimate love relationship and friendship with Him. YAH wants you to spend time with Him in intimately communication with Him, to enjoy fellowship with Him, to trust and follow his commandments, to give your life meaning and purpose through him.
It does not matter what you have done or who you are, YAH Loves you and you must know that he does not require you to clean up or get right before you can come to him for forgiveness. He is always there waiting on you to call on his name and ask him for forgiveness of your sins, so he can begin to clean you and forgive you of your sins and build a relationship with you. He will help you turn away from your sinful nature as you learn more about him and his ways. He loves you just as you are and wants you to trust him and rely upon him. To receive his sacrifice, so you can have a relationship with him and receive the promise of eternal life with him.
Yahusha said
If you really knew me, you would know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him. Phillip said, " Yahusha , show us the Father and that will be enough for us." Yahusha answered: "Don't you know me, Phillip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, 'Show us the Father? Don't you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you are not just my own. Rather, it is the Father living in me, who is doing his work. John 14:7-10
When you're deeply in love with someone, you can’t wait to spend time with them. You enjoy being in their presence as much as possible. No words need to be spoken. Nearness is enough. This is what we should desire with our creator and Savior because this is what he desires from us.
Having a personal relationship with Yahusha begins the moment we realize our need for Him, admit we are sinners, and in faith receive him as our Savior. Our heavenly Father has always desired to be close to us, to have a relationship with us. Before Adam sinned in the Garden of Eden Genesis 3
Both Adam and Eve knew YAH on an intimate, personal level. They walked with Him in the Garden and talked directly to Him daily. Due to their sin, we all became separated and disconnected from YAH .
We can sense that separation and distance from YAH because of our sin. The Bible tells us that "All of us like sheep have gone astray; each of us has turned to his own way." Our attitudes and immoral lifestyles are an active rebellion towards YAH and his ways and is evidence of what the Bible calls sin. The result of sin in our lives is death, spiritual separation from YAH . Although we may try to get close to YAH through our own efforts, we inevitably fail.
What many people do not realize is that Yahushua gave us the most amazing gift, the ability to communicate with YAH again and the opportunity to spend eternity with our Heavenly Father and our ha Mashiach and Savior Yahusha, if we will just trust and believe in Him and what he did for us on the cross.
“For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of YAH is eternal life through Yahusha” Romans 6:23.
YAH became a human being in the Person of Yahusha to give us the example of how we are to live and to take on our sin, be killed, and then be raised to life again in three days, proving His victory over sin and death. “Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Yahushua” Romans 8:1. (link to special video presentation)
If we confess our sins he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness 1 John 1:9. We are then forgiven and become acceptable to YAH then we can have a direct relationship with Him through Yahusha.

Even though we deserve to pay for our own sins, we can not because the payment for sin is eternal death and this is Eternal spiritual death, separated from YAH ’s presence, which is Hell!
Yahusha died in our place so that we would not have to be separated from YAH again.
On the tree, Yahusha took all of our sin on himself and paid the ultimate price, the highest price that could be paid, so that no other payment or sacrifice would ever have be made again for sin. He did all this because he loves us so much and wanted us reconnected to himself again, so those that believe, call upon his name and live their live for him will become the body of Yahushua, the Church, the heirs to the Kingdom of YAH . Because of Yahusha's death on the tree, our sin doesn’t separate us from YAH any longer.
Yahusha promises eternal life, that he is the Son of YHWH and the only way we can know YAH and reconnected back to YAH again. This is why Yahusha said; "I am the way, the truth and the life; no one can come to YHWH except through me. John14:6
It was Yahusha's love for us that caused him to endure the tree. And he now invites us to come to him, that we might begin a personal relationship with him and the Father.
Yahusha came so that each of us could know and understand YAH in a personal way. Yahusha alone can bring meaning and purpose to life. Having a personal relationship with Yahusha means we should include him in our daily lives, we should pray to Him, study His word, and meditate on it in an effort to get to know Him intimately.

To hear YAH's voice we must recognize it. Yahusha, “My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me” John 10:27.
Those who hear YAH ’s voice are those who belong to Him and are those who have been saved by grace through faith in Yahusha. These are the sheep that listen and recognize His voice, because they know Him as their Shepherd and they know His voice. If we are to recognize YAH's voice, we must belong to Him; spend time with him and listening for his voice by being quiet before him.

This is how we have a relationship with Him, we must trust his word and believe he loves us and hears our prayers and that all his promises are true. Although we may not see changes immediately, we will begin to see them over time and all the truths will become clear.
When we seek YAH's favor or gifts instead of a deeper relationship with him, we are choosing the gifts instead of the giver. YAH wants our attention on him over anything else in our lives, as YAH is a jealous YAH. The commandment of YAH is that we should have no other GOD's before YHWH, YAH should always be first, then Family, then Work and play. If we put things in there proper order then even our personal relationships will become more rewarding and successful. Put YAH in the center of all your relationships and they will be blessed!
Yahusha assured us that if we first seek the Kingdom of YAH and his righteousness, all our needs will be taken care of. YAH is well aware of our needs and promises to fill them; you shall lack no good thing as long as you obey his commandment, surrender to his will and live according to his leading.
We're assured that heaven will be a place of indescribable beauty and joy, because that's where YAH is. The relationship you build with him while you are here on Earth will only be magnified when you meet him face to face.
So seek Yahusha for himself. Pursue him with all your heart, because he is the greatest gift of all.
Seek and you shall find
"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.
Matthew 7:7
* The Old Testament and New Testament words for “seek” means:
* to seek the face of YAH; to desire ; to examine or explore ; to seek earnestly ; to diligently search for ; to wish for ; to crave; to investigate ; to pursue.
Only YAH can touch our hearts and give us the desire to seek and to know Him and to want His will & ways above our own:
I will give them a heart to know me.” Jeremiah 24:7
“YWHW of our fathers, keep this desire in the hearts of your people forever, and keep their hearts loyal to you. And give my son Solomon the wholehearted devotion to keep you commands, requirements, and decrees...” I Chronicles 29:18-19
“For it is YAH who works in you to will and act according to His good purpose.” Philippians. 2:13
Intimacy with YAH and the fullest possible fellowship and partnership with Him comes as you desire and seekto know Him, His will and His ways. Prayer and spending time with YAH is all about desire & passion for YAH, it is not a “religious” discipline it a way of life!
“If you are pleased with me, teach me your ways, so I may know you and continue to find favor with you... Show me your glory.” Exodus 33:13, 18

“O YAH, you are my YAH, earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water. I have seen you in the sanctuary and beheld your power and your glory... your love is better than life...” Psalm 63:1-3

“For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. Jeremiah 29:11-13
“I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Yahusha my Messiah, for whose sake I have lost all things. O consider them rubbish that I may gain Yahusha.. I want to know Yahusha and the power of his resurrection...” Philippians 3:8-11
When you come to know Yahusha personally, then you begin to be able to trust YAH . If you don't know YAH, you're not going to trust him. What's amazing is when we come into a personal relationship with Yahusha the sovereignty of YHWH begins to take on a whole new dimension in our lives. The more you know Yahusha the more you will be able to let go of your life and give control of your life over into Yahusha's hands.
haSatan's chief tool in keeping us at a distance from YAH is materialism. When we get caught up in that, we begin to make idols out of our comfort, convenience and financial cushions. To really grow in a relationship with Yahusha we need to shatter those idols and when we do we're able to trust in YAH more.
When we come into genuine relationship with Yahusha, we fall in love and we will begin to have Love for YAH and our neighbors that we have never known. It's when we come to know Yahusha intimately that the unconditional love that Yahusha pours into our hearts, enables us to love Him back and flows through us into the lives of our family members and those around us, but most importantly into our relationships with our wives and husbands.
It is our duty and obligation to know our spouse intimately, to know each others likes, dislikes, how we like to be touched, loved and what is expected of one another, keeping in alignment to how the word of YAH says we should respect, love and treat each other. 23For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Yahusha is the head of the church: and he is the savior of the body.24Therefore as the church is subject unto Yahusha, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.25Husbands, love your wives, even as Yahusha also loved the church, and gave himself for it. Ephesians 5:23-25
Aspire to be like Yahusha. When we come into an intimate personal relationship with Yahusha, we begin to resemble him and are molded into the image and likeness of Yahusha.
Once we enter this intimate personal relationship with Yahusha, we begin to invite others into this relationship that we have discovered, because it is a relationship worth having and is the most beneficial relationship we can have.
The beginning of the relationship
By His sacrificial death on the cross, Yahusha took the sins of the entire world on Himself and made salvation available for everyone 1 John 2:2. But this salvation is not automatic. Only those who personally choose to believe in Yahusha are saved. This is the consistent testimony of Yahusha. Listen to His words:
* "For my Father's will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day" John 6:40.
* "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies" John 11:25.
Choosing not to believe in Yahusha, by contrast, leads to eternal condemnation: "Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of YAH's one and only Son" John 3:18.
When you believe in Yahusha the Savior, a wonderful thing happens. YAH forgives you of all your sins. All of them! He puts them completely out of His sight. Below are verses, which speak of the forgiveness of those who have believed in Yahusha:
"In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of YAH's grace" Ephesians 1:7.
Yahusha said, "Their sins and lawless acts I will remember no more" Hebrews 10:17-18.
"Blessed is he whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered. Blessed is the man whose sin the Messiah does not count against him and in whose spirit is no deceit" Psalm 32:1-2.
"For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him; as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us" Psalm 103:11-12.
Such forgiveness is wonderful indeed, for none of us can possibly work our way into heaven, or be good enough to warrant YAH's good favor. Because of what Yahusha has done for us, we freely receive the gift of salvation. It is a gift provided solely through the grace of YAH. Ephesians 2:8-9. All of it is ours by simply believing in Yahusha.
If YAH is speaking to your heart now, then now is your opportunity to believe. "Seek YHWH while he may be found; call on him while he is near" Isaiah 55:6
Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of YAH. We accept Yahusha by faith!
YAH saves you by his special favor when you believed. And you can't take credit for this; it is a gift from YAH. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it.
Accepting Yahusha means believing that Yahusha is the Son of YHWH, invite him to guide and direct our lives. Yahusha said, "I came that you might have life, and have it more abundantly." "I'm standing at the door and I'm knocking. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in."
If Would you like to place your faith in Yahusha for the forgiveness of your sins, thereby guaranteeing your eternal place in heaven beside Yahusha, then pray the following prayer.
Keep in mind that it's not the prayer itself that saves you. It is the faith in Yahusha and what he did for us that saves you. So, let the following prayer be a simple expression of the faith that is in your heart: The precise words you use to commit yourself to YAH are not important. He knows the intentions of your heart. If you are unsure of what to pray, this might help you put it into words: Yahusha, I want to know you. I want to have a relationship with you. Please come into my life and forgive my sins. I believe that you for died on the cross for my sins, so that I could be fully forgiven and accepted by you, providing a way to communicate with the father again. Only you can give me the power to change and become the person you created me to be. Thank you for forgiving me and giving me eternal life. I give my life to you. Please do with it as you wish. AMEIN.
Ruach ha Kodesh please Baptize me and fill me with your presence and power and lead me in this life, so that I may live a life pleasing to the father, help me to do the will of the Father and to line up with my destiny in this life. I ask this in the name of Yahusha, AMEIN
If you sincerely asked Yahusha into your life just now, then he has come into your life as he promised. You have begun a personal relationship with YAH.
What follows is a lifelong journey of change and growth as you get to know YAH better through studying the Bible, prayer and interaction with other believers.
