Matthew 17
The Transfiguration
1After six days Jesus took with him Peter, James and John the brother of James, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. 2There he was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became as white as the light. 3Just then there appeared before them Moses and Elijah, talking with Jesus.
4Peter said to Jesus, "Lord, it is good for us to be here. If you wish, I will put up three shelters—one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah."
5While he was still speaking, a bright cloud enveloped them, and a voice from the cloud said, "This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased. Listen to him!"
6When the disciples heard this, they fell facedown to the ground, terrified. 7But Jesus came and touched them. "Get up," he said. "Don't be afraid." 8When they looked up, they saw no one except Jesus.
9As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus instructed them, "Don't tell anyone what you have seen, until the Son of Man has been raised from the dead."
10The disciples asked him, "Why then do the teachers of the law say that Elijah must come first?"
11Jesus replied, "To be sure, Elijah comes and will restore all things. 12But I tell you, Elijah has already come, and they did not recognize him, but have done to him everything they wished. In the same way the Son of Man is going to suffer at their hands." 13Then the disciples understood that he was talking to them about John the Baptist.
******************************************************************************************************************
So many times we read the word of God not realizing the message is right before our eyes. In this passage Jesus goes up on a mount with James, Peter, John and his brother. And before their eyes Jesus is transfgured with a light shone upon him. The disciples see Elijah and Moses standing with Christ. Not realizing the symbolization of this meeting they attempt to make tabernacles for the three. Yahweh then speaks and says the Jesus is his son and he is well pleased with him.
How many times have you asked God to show himself in your life...allow his prescence to be made in a super natural way and then when Yah does, you disregard the moment given? I believe that is what happens in this moment for those who are chosen to partake. Then Jesus simply tells them that Elijah has already come when they question this meeting...They do not realize that the spirit of Elijah has come through John the Baptist who has made the way for Jesus. Once again Jesus is showing those who are yet walking with him that he is who he says he is.
You see our blessings don't always come in the packages we expect them to nor in the persons we think they should come through...But God knows what is best and by and by if we are faithful Yah will reveal his plans unto us.
You see the hebrew meaning of ELIJAH is The Lord is my God!! El I Jah and even though the brothers thought that the one who was for Elijah had not not come....Now it is revealed to them that the one had come. Yet will they believe. how many times does God allow transfigurating moments in your life and you simply turn the other way?
Stop! Don't do that anymore, allow Yah to use you in your tranfigurating moment and allow it to be a testimony for someone else. Although it seemed as though the brothers were completely lost insome instances these are the same ones who helped build up the CHURCH. Peter was the ROCK on which Christ built the church.
Matthew 16:18
And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it.
Because of the brothers constant will to seek the master's will and follow in the way of Christ they were used to serve in the high calling of their time. Yes you too were created to walk in the divine light of Yah and walk in your calling. Don't let your tranfiguring moment pass you by with out noticing the purpose of it. Seek and ye shall find, ask and it will be given unto you. And as Jeremiah 33:3 says:
'Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.'
When Yah reveals prepare your heart to recieve and you shall live abundantly. Peace and blessings Fam. I pray I have shared something you may gain insight from. May the Lord add a blessing to the reading of his word! Shalom

Stand Strong in the Face of the Adversary!!
Philippians 1:27-28
27Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ. Then, whether I come and see you or only hear about you in my absence, I will know that you stand firm in one spirit, contending as one man for the faith of the gospel 28without being frightened in any way by those who oppose you. This is a sign to them that they will be destroyed, but that you will be saved—and that by God.
Often times we may find ourselves facing obstacles, people, spirits that in no way form or fashion are supportive for us or to us. Yahweh has sent us an encouraging word through the life of our fellow brethren. We are to STAND STRONG in Yah and move accordingly. We must not allow ourselves to be afraid.... No matter the situation. It was hard for me to swallow this pill but yet the words are true and effective. We must remember:
Psalm 27:1
The LORD is my light and my salvation
whom shall I fear?
The LORD is the stronghold of my life
of whom shall I be afraid?
When everyone from immediate family and friends are against you and the path you have taken for Yah, Holdfast. You know in your heart and soul that Yah has directed your path let no one deter you. Yes the attcks of the enemy will come full force and the trials will be allowed to make you stronger. Yet even in these times you will feel at your weakest. It is then that you must allow the POWER of Most High- Yahweh to keep you and sustain you during the storm. The rains will come and the thunder will roll, lighting will flash, and the oceans will roar but know that you are not alone.
John 14:16
16And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor to be with you forever17the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you.
The Holy Spirit is with us...Jesus is with us...Yah is with us!! (the Trinity)
As I write this I encourage myself for I am going through this place of what I speak on. I have learned it is better to Trust in God than to depend on myself or man. I have faith and believe, I know Yah will work things together for my good. In the meantime I must GO THROUGH. Knowing that Yah is with me and that the SUN shall rise again. The wings of righteousness shall be revealed and all will see the Glory of my God through me and the trials that Yah will bring me through.
Remember Psalm 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
Be bold and brave! Stand in the Authority that Yah has given unto you. Bind demonic forces and wicked prinicipalities on earth as it is in heaven. And Loose Divinity, strength, confidence, wisdom etc. on earth as it is in heaven in Jesus name!! Cast down imagination and strongholds, you have the power...Yah has given it to you. You are heir to the throne. Be not decieved Our Lord is Alpha and Omega and no one is anything with out Yah. Be strong and stand firm in the promise of Most High.
I will pray that whoever comes upon this piece will gain and be able to share with others the insight that lies within. Peace and Blessings my brothas and sistahs. STAND STRONG in the FACE of the Adversary!!

"Yah Restores and Replaces."
In Job 2 the sons of Yah came to present themselves
before Him and satan was there among them too.
Yah asked if he considered His servant Job there's none
like him, question is, is Yah asking satan to consider you.
The adversary told Yah that he would make Job curse Him to His
face by what He would take Job emotionally and physically through.
Where Job had everything a man can receive at the hands of
Yah satan had taken it all except the wife who treated him like poo.
She said in the 9th verse, Do you still hold fast to your
integrity curse Yah and die.
You see she lost everything including her family and in her
heart she was bitter and knew that Job was the reason why.
In chapter 3 Job wished he wasn't born the emotional
pressure of the testing had taken its toll on him.
There are a lot of people who would break under what Job
went through and I mean plenty of them.
We can't compare the trials we're going and growing
through it may seem like the end but we're not there yet.
You may be hurting now and knowing what you know
the testings may make you want to regret.
Has Yah asked satan to consider His servant you because
if you're not being tested, or attacked something is wrong.
The trials and tribulations come into your life to prove
you fit and worthy they're there to make you strong.
Job had friends or so-called friends to visit him in his
misery remember misery Loves company also.
They tried to blame Job and he even for a moment got
self righteous and his side of the circumstance he tried to show.
Only the youngest of the crowd showed Job the error of his
ways when out of emotion he spoke out.
I find myself doing the same when I'm tested, all in
the Kool- Aid and don't know what the flavor is all about.
After Yah responded to Job and put him in his place
in 42:10 Yah released Job from his captivity.
After Job prayed for his friends he restored him and
replaced twice of what was his property.
Yah replaced the children that was taken and
He restored the Love of his wife.
Yah replaced and restored His servant Job and surely
as a servant you're no different He'll do the same in your life.
What satan uses to test you Yah means it for good.
