🕊️ The Wilderness Journey; Preparing for Your Promise

Website: https://wbjministry100.wixsite.com/wbjministries

🌄 🙌🏼🙏🏼🤲🏼🛐📿

Abba Yahusha, Creator of all, we thank You for guiding us through every desert and dwelling place. Let Your Ruach Ha'Qodesh open our hearts as we study the wilderness journey. Teach us the meaning of stillness, order, and Your sacred preparation. We release all fear and receive Your promise. In the Name of Yahusha Ha’Mashiach, so be it.

– Halleluyah

🌾Introduction – The Wilderness as a Spiritual Classroom. The wilderness is not punishment. It is preparation. It strips, reveals, and aligns us.

“And you shall remember that Yahusha your Elohim led you all the way these forty years in the wilderness, to humble you, prove you, to know what is in your heart…”

— Debarim (Deuteronomy) 8:2, HalleluYah Scriptures.📜

🌀Spiritual Alignment Through the Chakras. The journey through the wilderness is also an inner journey, a clearing and realigning of our seven energy centers – just as Israel had to realign their hearts before entering the Promised Land.

Chakra Wilderness Symbol Meaning

Root (Muladhara) Manna & Daily Provision Trusting Yahusha for your basic needs.

Sacral (Svadhisthana) Water from the Rock Emotional flow, creative faith

Solar Plexus (Manipura) Cloud by Day, Fire by Night Willpower, divine direction

Heart (Anahata) The Tabernacle's Center Love, forgiveness, humility

Throat (Vishuddha) Moses’ Speech🗣️ Speaking truth 📢 with courage

Third Eye (Ajna) Vision of the Promise Inner wisdom, seeing Yah's plan

Crown (Sahasrara) Mount Sinai Revelation Spiritual awakening, divine connection. 📖 Sabbath Preparation in the Wilderness. Preparation Day (6th Day) was sacred. They gathered double manna so they could rest on the 7th day.

“Six days you gather it, but on the seventh day, which is the Shabbath, there is none.” — Shemoth (Exodus) 16:26.📜 The wilderness teaches obedience. Resting is trust. Sabbath is not just rest. It is rehearsal for entering the Promise.🔥Trials That Transform. In the wilderness, Yahusha proved them, not to break them but to build them.

“He afflicted you and let you hunger… to make you know that man does not live by bread alone…” — Debarim 8:3 📜

🌿 Spiritual Insight: Every “lack” is a lesson. Every delay is a divine design.

🏺Museum Symbolism & Culture

Artifacts of desert journeys, such as clay pots, sandal imprints, and scroll fragments, remind us of transience and truth. Just like ancient desert travelers, we carry stories in our footsteps. 🎨 A jar with cracks. Still used, still holding living water. Even in brokenness, you are usable.🕯️ Lessons from Other Traditions~Amadlozi (ancestral spirits in Zulu belief) remind us to honor the past as we walk forward. Buddhism teaches detachment, echoing Israel’s letting go of Egypt. Islam’s Ramadan wilderness mirrors purification. Catholic Lent mirrors Israel’s 40 years, fasting before promise. All paths teach this: the soul must empty to be filled. 🌈 A Promise Requires Preparation

The wilderness wasn’t the problem. They weren’t ready for the Promise.

“But they despised the pleasant land; they did not believe His word.” — Tehillim (Psalms) 106:24📜

Before you arrive, Yah prepares you.

🪔 Sometimes, the journey is the deliverance.✨ Final Reflection

➡ Where are you resisting wilderness lessons?

➡ Are your chakras (spiritual centers) blocked by bitterness, fear, or control?

➡ Are you preparing your Sabbath heart, or still striving in the sixth day?

Don’t fight the wilderness. Walk it with Yahusha.

🙏🏽🤲🏼🛐📿🙌🏼

Ruach of Yahusha, restore balance in us, body, soul, and spirit. Open every blocked place in our hearts. Let the lessons of the wilderness soften us, align us, and prepare us. May we enter the Promise not with pride, yet with praise. In the name of Yahusha, we receive the promise with faith and preparation.

– Halleluyah.

When the Fire Fades: Rekindling Your Relationship with Yah

🕊️ WBJMinistries Sermon~ When the Fire Fades; Rekindling Your Relationship with Yah 🔥🕯️

Topic; 💔 Healing From Spiritual Burnout

Scriptures; Psalm 23, Isaiah 40:31, Ezekiel 37

🙏🤲🏼🙌🏼🛐📿

Heavenly Father Yah, we come before You weary, nevertheless willing. Ignite the fire within us once again. Heal our wounded spirits and remind us that You are close to the brokenhearted. Let Your Word be the breath that revives us today. In Yahusha's name we pray!

halleluyah. 🙌

📖 

There are seasons where our spiritual flame dims. 💭

We worship out of routine. We pray... but feel unheard.

We show up... Yet we are not present.

Whether from church hurt, disappointment, exhaustion, or isolation, many are silently burning out. 💔🕯️

📜However Yah never leaves us in ashes. He is the Good Shepherd who leads us beside still waters to restore our soul. Tellihim ~(Psalm 23:3) 🌊🐑

🔥 Recognizing the Burnout. Do you feel drained, not just physically, but spiritually? Are you avoiding prayer, scripture, or fellowship? Has church become a wound rather than a refuge?

📌Even prophets got weary. Elijah wanted to give up. But Yah sent rest, nourishment, and a gentle whisper. (1 Kings 19:4–12) 🛏️🍞💨

Burnout is not failure. It is a signal. 🚨 Your soul is calling for restoration, not rejection. 🌬️ Return to the Source of Life. 📜 Yeshayahu)-Isaiah 40:31 tells us;

> “But those who wait on Yah shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles…” 🦅

The fire fades when we run on our own strength too long. Still waiting on Yah is like plugging back into the eternal power source. ⚡ Return to;

Stillness ~ Turn off the noise. Rest in His presence. 🧘‍♂️🧘🏼‍♀️ Scripture – Let His Word feed your spirit. 📖 Worship – Even when dry, let praise open the door. 🎶

Community – Find healing in honest fellowship. 🤝

💀 From Dry Bones to Living Warriors

In Ezekiel 37, Yah brings dry bones to life through His Word and Spirit.

> “I will put breath in you, and you will come to life.” 🦴💨 Your bones may feel dry... dreams dead... your flame extinguished... But Yah is breathing life into what seems lost. 🔥💫

You are not discarded. You are being restored. 🔁 Rekindle the Flame. Light a new fire by returning to your first love (Hazon)- (Revelation 2:4).❤️‍🔥Let Yah’s Spirit relight the candle of your heart. 🕯️🔥Release bitterness, forgive church wounds, and allow Yah to do a new thing in you ( Yeshayahu (Isaiah 43:19🌱

You are not just a servant~you are a child of Yah. You don’t have to perform. Just belong. 👑

🛐📿🙌🏼🤲🏼🙏🏼🕎

If you have felt far, broken, or burnt out, come home. Let Yah anoint your head with oil and restore your soul. (Tellihim -(Psalm 23:5) 🫧 You are not forgotten. You are being refined, not ruined. 💎

The fire that faded will burn again. HalleluYah. 🔥🙌

🙏🤲🏼🙌🏼📿🕎🛐

Yah, breathe on every soul feeling exhausted, distant, or wounded. Relight the sacred fire in us. Heal every scar from religion and restore true relationship. Let dry bones rise again. We receive Your strength today and rise on eagle’s wings. In Yahusha’s name

Halleluyah. 🕊️

When the Soul Cries

🕊️ When the Soul Cries The Power of a Righteous Lament

🙏🏼🙌🏼📿🛐🤲🏼

Heavenly Abba, we come before You as we are, wounded, wondering, and yet worshiping. You are the Elohim who sees in secret, who hears even the wordless groans of our hearts. As we open this message, may the Ruach Hakodesh guide us into truth, comfort, and renewed faith. Let Your light shine through even the darkest chapters of our lives. In the Name of Yahusha, amen.

📜📖 Lyob (Job) 6:2–3

> “Oh that my grief were thoroughly weighed, and my calamity laid in the balances together! For now it would be heavier than the sand of the sea: therefore my words are swallowed up.”

📖 Lyob (Job) 7:17–18

> “What is man, that You should magnify him? And that You should set Your heart upon him? And that You should visit him every morning, and try him every moment?"

📌 🕯️ Symbolism of the Broken Pot

In ancient Mesopotamian museums, we find clay vessels shattered and mended, displayed not as failures but as history, survival, and beauty through fire. Job is like such a vessel. Though shattered, he becomes the testimony.

🪔 Symbolic Visual: A cracked clay jar, glowing with firelight, not discarded, but honored. 🌍 A Global Cry of the Soul

,From the grieving rituals of the Mohegan tribe to the mourning songs of Polish Catholic grandmothers, and the chants of Buddhist monks, humanity has always cried out when life becomes too heavy to carry alone.

(IYOB's)-Job's lament is not weakness; it is sacred. Even in Islam, crying to Allah in hardship is a form of trust. In the African Amadlozi tradition, mourning is how the living speak with the ancestors, And (IYOB)-Job is speaking with Elohim, raw and unfiltered.

🗣️It is not rebellion to ask Elohim “why?” ~it is relationship. The righteous may break, but they do not fall away.

(IYOB)-Job teaches us that even silence from Elohim is not absence. He sees. He tests. He still holds. Philosophy & Sociology Tie-In; Sociologists remind us that grief, if not expressed, becomes cultural silence. Philosopher Søren Kierkegaard wrote; “The most painful state of being is remembering the future you WILL never have.” (IYOB)-Job teaches us that even crushed dreams become offerings when laid at Elohim's feet.

Modern Application📢👏🏼You may be like (IYOB)-Job right now; judged, isolated, misunderstood. You may have friends like Eliphaz who speak but do NOT see you. But Yah knows your frame. He remembers you are dust. NEVERTHELESS sacred dust, shaped by divine breath. 

🆑📕Closing Reflection; 🌬️ The wind may blow, yet the root remains. Even when your soul is tired of praying, let your silence be your song. Yahusha, the suffering Servant, understood Job’s cry and He echoes it on the stake when He says: “Why have You forsaken Me?”

In the end, Yah restores. Still today, this chapter reminds us; the cry is part of the covenant.

🙏🏼🙌🏼🛐📿🤲🏼

Abba Yah, strengthen every broken heart listening today. Let those who feel abandoned know that You are still present in the silence. Give courage to the misunderstood, grace to the weary, and divine comfort to those who mourn. Heal us, hold us, and hear us. Even in our complaints. We trust You even when we don’t understand. Halleluyah and amen.

🎙️ Is God Online? Finding Yah in the Digital Age

🌍 Faith in a Digital World
 Is God Online? Finding Yah in the Digital Age
🛐🙏🏼🤲🏼📿🙌🏼
Heavenly Father, Abba Yahusha 
In a world of constant notifications, fast connections, and online noise, our hearts still beat. Let our screens become sanctuaries and our devices vessels of truth. Guide us to use technology to glorify You, not replace You. May your presence be found in every click, scroll, and share. In the name of Yahusha, we pray.
Halleluyah.
📖 📜

🧠📌
In today’s world, we Google before we pray. We refresh our feed before refreshing our spirit. But beloved, Yah is not lost in the algorithm. His presence doesn’t require Wi-Fi, only willingness.
This sermon explores how we can use digital tools to draw closer to Yah, without letting technology take His place.
🔍 Is God Online?
No, God is not a trending topic. Still, His Word can tend through us.
Just as Moses used a staff, David used a sling, and Paul used parchment. We now have the tool of technology.
💬 Ask yourself; Am I using my phone to feed my faith or fears?
📱Tech as a Tool, Not a Temple
Technology is neutral, it becomes holy or harmful depending on how we use it.
✔️ Start your day with scripture apps
✔️ Use prayer reminders
✔️ Share verses and testimonies online
❌ Avoid gossip, comparison, or endless scrolling
(Qorintyim)-1 Corinthians 10:31 ~ “So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the esteem of Elohim.”
🤝Social Media With a Spirit
Social media is not evil; nevertheless, it needs spiritual boundaries.✨ Post light, not just lifestyle.🧭 Use discernment: Every trend is not truth. ⛔ Pause before posting; Does it glorify Yah?
(Tellihim )-“Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable before You.” (Tellihim)-– Psalm 19:14
💡 Yahusha walked dusty roads. Yet today He walks the data streams through us. Don’t disconnect from heaven while being constantly connected to Wi-Fi. Let us be disciples in the digital age, not just followers of men, nonetheless followers of Yah's eternal Word.
🛐 🙌🏼🤲🏼📿🙏🏼
Father Yah,
We give You our screens, our platforms, our voices. Cleanse our digital lives like You cleanse our hearts. May we shine Your light in every DM, comment, and caption. Help us unplug from distractions and plug into Your Word daily. May we always seek Your face, even through the glass of a screen.
In Yahusha’s name, Halleluyah.

The Danger of Stoicism

🗽Today’s NYC Chronicle; Stoicism Is Not an Option

📌On my way to the Manhattan Borough President’s Office today, I turned the corner and saw EMTs roll over what looked like a limp, frail woman. He checked her pulse. He checked it again, She tried to move but was too weak. Then he casually walked to the ambulance. No rush. No urgency. I thought, an unconscious body needs oxygen to the brain immediately. Why does it feel like trained professionals are moving slower than concerned strangers? Weeks ago, I saw the same thing on the subway. An elderly woman collapsed and the energy was... Action with concern. I expected more from trained professionals. We used to have a saying, more of a statement of purpose before "Make America great again" It was A phrase~that defined us!

👉🏾 “The American Way.”

It meant dignity, structure, compassion, strength, freedom, and action.

It meant doing what is right even when no one’s watching. Doing it from the heart. And Love for human life that built this nation 

Anyway! I kept going, dealing with an ongoing NYCHA issue. I was told to resubmit docs because the scanned PDFs weren’t clear. I offered a solution; "While I resend them, could someone just call housing management to get the process started?" He said, "Once I receive it, I will follow up." But let’s be real. If you serve the public, you should already know who your people need help from. And they should know you.

Then I went to the management office to drop off a letter about the issue, just be proactive. The front desk secretary told me to come back after lunch. I asked, “Can you just take my letter and give me a receipt?” She said no. Why not just post a sign saying you are on a lunch break? Why the barriers for basic accountability? Later, I picked up a prescription for someone. I have gotten it for years. And a crucial item was missing. I had to ask for it. Again, that same energy; some people behave as if they are doing you a favor and not their job.

I passed the State Office Building and saw flags of other countries flying alongside the U.S. flag. I believe in diversity. I believe in inclusion. But I also believe this country already has a foundation that includes everyone; civil rights, human rights, tenant protections, disability access, consumer advocacy. The American flag stands for that. Let’s not weaken our symbol in an attempt to validate what we already legally uphold.

📜The Constitution already protects EVERYONE under its laws;

🧑🏾‍🦽 Disability Rights

🏘️ Tenant Rights

🗣️ Freedom of Speech

🛑 Protection from Government Overreach

🛡️ The right to defend yourself, your family, your land

⚖️ Due process for all

We don’t need to hang ten flags to say we care. One flag represents all people when we honor what it stands for. 🇺🇸

No, I don’t support everything Trump says or does. I do support American values 💪🏾 Strong families

⚖️ Personal growth 

🧾 government

🗽 Constitutional rights

📈 Work and opportunity

However let us not act like the immigration crisis just started. This system has been broken through six presidencies. Now it’s mopping time. We ignored the spill long enough. We must turn to order, urgency, organization and principles. Because right now, systems are going rogue. Not from lack of money, but from lack of mission.

From EMTs to housing, pharmacies to policy. We must hold systems accountable. This is not just bureaucracy. This is social justice. Cultural anthropology. Geography in motion.

📣 We are better than this. America is one of the best countries on the planet. This is not criticism this is recognition!

The Silent Earthquake; Healing the Cries Within

📖 Sermon Title; The Silent Earthquake: Healing the Cries Within

By WBJMinistries

🙏🏽🛐🤲🏼🙌🏼📿

Heavenly Father, Elohim of peace, we come before you with trembling hearts. We see shadows creeping into the hearts of our children, our elders, and even into the spirit of the strong. Lift us from the miry pit of despair. Let your Ruach Ha’Qodesh breathe hope again into the dry bones of our generation. Let Your Word be the oil and balm that soothes our collective wound. In the mighty Name of Yahushua Ha’Mashiach, we pray.

Halleluyah.

📜 Scripture Reading ~ Tehillim (Psalms) 34:18 (Halleluyah Scriptures)

 “Yahusha is near to the broken-hearted, And saves those whose spirit is crushed.”

🎨 Museum Imagery & Symbolism. Imagine a museum corridor where each exhibit is a silent scream; A cracked mirror with a note beside it; “Am I enough?” A child’s hoodie lying beneath flickering neon lights, titled; “Last Seen.”

A broken hourglass, grains of sand frozen midair: “Time ran out.” These are not artifacts of ancient sorrow, but snapshots from today’s households, dorm rooms, and prayer closets.

🧠 Worldview, Philosophy, and Sociology~From a sociological lens, we face a paradoxπ technological connectivity has bred emotional isolation. In philosophy, Søren Kierkegaard once wrote; “The most painful state of being is remembering the future.”

That’s what anxiety is, fearing what has not yet come, and depression, mourning what might never be. Our youth are drowning not for lack of love, yet from too many counterfeit versions of it.

🌍 Cultural and Ancestral Symbolism. In Amadlozi traditions, ancestors speak through dreams when a spirit is unsettled. In Mohegan storytelling, the Great Turtle carries earth’s grief, layer by layer. In my Polish lineage, candles are lit not only to remember the dead however to protect the living from the darkness that circles. And in Buddhist thought; suffering is not a weakness ~ still an invitation to awaken.

So, what if this epidemic of sorrow is not a death knell, though a spiritual awakening?

🕯️ Spiritual Insight & Application. The rise in anxiety, depression, and suicide is not just a mental crisis. It is a soul cry.

We have wandered from the sacred paths; Families eat in silence. Churches echo emptier. Children are over-tested and under-heard. We must bring them back to the fire. Not just therapy nevertheless testimony. Not just pills but presence. Not just awareness nonetheless anointing.

🧪 Applied Statistics

According to the CDC (2024), suicide is now the second leading cause of death among people ages 10–34. Emergency room visits for anxiety and depression have doubled in the past decade. Beloved, we are not numbers. We are names written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.

📖 Scripture Reinforcement – Yeshayahu (Isaiah) 41:10 “Do not fear, for I am with you. Do not look around, for I am your Elohim. I shall strengthen you, I shall also help you...”

🔥 Call to Action (Parable Style) There once was a village where the children stopped singing. The elders wept, for they knew, without a song, a soul forgets it's purpose. Still one day, a widow lit her lamp, sang a lullaby outside her door. Soon others joined.

Not all were healed, yet none were alone.

Be that lamp.

Sing anyway.

Stand anyway.

Because even when your voice trembles, Yah hears you.

Abba Yahusha, wrap Your arms around the weary. Let no soul walk alone in this valley of shadows. Teach us to be vessels of Your healing, eyes that see, ears that listen, hearts that welcome.

Let joy rise like dawn. Let peace be our portion. We declare victory over depression, freedom from fear, and renewal of hope. In the name of Yahushua, our Redeemer and Restorer,

Halleluyah.

🎙 Sermon Title✓The Stones We Throw€ Cancel Culture and the Fire of Discernment

The Stones We Throw; Cancel Culture and the Fire of Discernment

🕊🙏🏼🤲🏼📜⏪◀️

Heavenly Father,

You who created the stars, the silence, the sound, and the soul,

Let Your Ruach Ha’Qodesh guide us today.

Open our hearts to wisdom beyond emotion,

and our minds to discernment beyond popularity.

We seek not just truth, but balance;

As above, so below; as within, so without.

Let our words heal, not harm. Let this message be Your light.

Halleluyah.

📖 Scripture Foundation (Halleluyah Scriptures)

> “Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone.” – Yoḥanan (John) 8:7

> “A fool’s displeasure is known at once, But a clever one covers shame.” – Mishlĕ (Proverbs) 12:16

> “Do not judge, that you be not judged.” –

L Mattithyahu (Matthew) 7:1

🌍 A Modern Parable: The Trial of Sevan Thorne

In a city surrounded by glass towers and noisy screens, lived a truth-seeker named Sevan Thorne. He spoke boldly, sometimes imperfectly. One day, Sevan questioned a cultural norm. Only to be dragged before the "Court of Public Opinion."

No trial. No evidence.

Just hashtags.

Just echoes.

Just rage disguised as righteousness.

Like many in our generation, Sevan wasn’t allowed to grow. He was canceled. His voice silenced. His intentions distorted.

🔮 The Chakras: A Map of Cultural Healing

Let us explore cancel culture through the lens of the Chakras, the seven spiritual energy centers, and their message of internal balance.

1. Root (Muladhara) – Safety & survival

Cancel culture creates instability, leading to fear of speaking truth. It feeds on groupthink. Survival becomes about silence.

2. Sacral (Svadhisthana) – Emotion & relationships

Emotion-driven judgments become weapons. We don’t dialogue ~we react. We unfriend before we understand.

3. Solar Plexus (Manipura) – Identity & power

Canceling gives a false sense of power. But it is power without accountability, without forgiveness.

4. Heart (Anahata) – Love & compassion

We forget; true justice includes love. Without heart, we become the same judges we once feared.

5. Throat (Vishuddha) – Voice & truth

Truth requires space. Yet cancel culture chokes dialogue~we stop listening. We stop evolving.

6. Third Eye (Ajna) – Wisdom & insight

To cancel is easy. To discern is divine. Statistics show that mass outrage often lacks factual foundation.

7. Crown (Sahasrara) – Unity & purpose

Canceling isolates, while the Spirit calls us to oneness. “He who falls seven times shall rise again,” says the wisdom of faith.

🏛️ Anthropology & Sociology: The Cultural Mirror

University lessons in cultural anthropology taught us that cultural relativism demands we understand before we judge. Cancel culture often violates this.

From the Rana Plaza collapse to Cambodian sweatshops, we saw how global systems marginalize, then scapegoat. However mass outrage without change or education is hollow.

We protest, then forget.

We cancel, then scroll on.

Sociologically, this is a moral panic~group behavior driven by fear. Though fear is not a fruit of the Ruach.

“For Elohim has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of self-control.” – 2 Timotiyos (Timothy) 1:7

📊 Statistics & Discernment

Cancel culture affects livelihoods.

Studies show over 60% of people have self-censored in fear of backlash.

Minority voices~ironically~are often the ones silenced by the very culture claiming to defend them.

Hypothesis testing~like in my MAT 240 course~shows we must test assumptions with evidence, not emotion.

🖼 Museum Symbolism; A Nation’s Memory

In the Metropolitan Museum, we see artifacts shattered by past societies~statues torn down by cultural purges, stories erased. Still history without restoration repeats itself.

Cancel culture is not new.

Only the tools have changed.

Let us be restorers, not wreckers.

🙌🏾 Call to Action: What Shall We Do?

Speak boldly, but wisely.

Let truth be spoken with grace, not venom.

If someone falls, guide them. Don’t destroy them.

Engage culture as Sevan Thorne would; through parables, peace, and persistence.

As a minister, as a student, as a child of the Most High, my assignment is not to join the mob, nonetheless to stand in the gap.

🌄 🙏🏼 🤲🏼 📜

Abba Yahusha, Heavenly Father 

Let our tongues be guided by compassion, not chaos.

Let our hearts be warriors for truth, nevertheless never executioners without mercy.

Help us balance justice with humility, and wisdom with love.

As we walk in the path of discernment, protect our energy, align our spirit, and ground our soul.

May our ministries build, not burn.

May our voices lift, not silence.

And may Sevan Thorne within each of us rise;refined, not erased.

Halleluyah.

No Weapon~Unmasking the Lie, Igniting the Light

🔥 Sermon Title; No Weapon; Exposing the Schemes, Standing in the Light

🙏🏽📖🙌🏼 Abba Yahusha, Heavenly Father, Most High, we come before you in reverence and trembling, yet boldness and peace. Let Your Ruach HaQodesh breathe upon us, giving discernment to see, power to stand, and faith to endure. We cancel every lie, every scheme, and every weapon formed by the enemy, for it shall not prosper. Open our eyes, our hearts, and our spirits to truth. In the Name of Yahushua Ha’Mashiach, amen.

Halleluyah.

🌍The Ancient Scheme; Lies from the Garden. It began in Gan Eden (the Garden of Eden)~not with a sword, but with a question; “Did Elohim really say…?”

— Bereshith (Genesis) 3:1

📌Satan’s first strategy wasn’t violence~it was doubt. His whisper was a knife to the truth. And today, it is no different. The adversary still speaks; “You’re not worthy.” “You’ve gone too far.” “Elohim has forgotten you.” But Yahusha says; “You are My servant, I have chosen you and have not rejected you.”

— Yeshayahu (Isaiah) 41:9

🎯 Expose It; The enemy's whisper distorts, divides, and distracts. Yet the truth of Yahusha restores, unites, and focuses.

🔥The Weapons of the Adversary

Satan’s tools are not always obvious:

Fear ~to keep you silent

Shame ~ to make you hide

Temptation ~ to draw you away

Accusation ~ to keep you bound

“For the accuser of our brothers… has been thrown down, who accused them before our Elohim day and night.”

— Ḥazon (Revelation) 12:10

But the Ruach HaQodesh exposes him. The Set-Apart Spirit is truth personified;

“He shall teach you all things and remind you of what I said.”

— Yoḥanan (John) 14:26

🛡️🐘 Counterattack; Speak the Word aloud ~ sword of the Spirit. Praise when pressured ~ confuses the enemy. Pray in the Ruach ~charges the atmosphere.

🌬️ Cultural Wisdom & Ancestral Vision. Our ancestors knew this; The Amadlozi (ancestral spirits) warned of dark spirits that rode on fear and envy. The Mohegan shamans wore symbols of truth to ward off spiritual attack. Polish highlanders placed cross-stitched scriptures on doors for protection. Catholic and Muslim elders recited sacred texts at dawn and dusk to keep the soul clean.

But we, set-apart ones, put on the whole armor of Elohim; “Stand, then, having girded your waist with truth… and take the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of Elohim.”

— Efesiyim (Ephesians) 6:14–17

🕎🕯️🌌☦️A Museum of Warning and Power

Imagine a great museum in Manhattan, filled with spiritual artifacts~ A shattered serpent mask labeled: “Deception Destroyed.” An empty prison labeled~ “Fear Broken by Faith.” A golden scroll glowing with fire: “Word Spoken in Power.” You are a living artifact of Yahusha’s glory, walking proof that the enemy can’t win.

✨ Final Declaration~ No Weapon

 “No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against you in judgment you shall condemn.”

— Yeshayahu (Isaiah) 54:14

No curse, no trauma, no whisper, no chain can stand in the light of Yahuha’s truth.

🙌🏽🙏🏼📖

Ruach HaQodesh, embolden us. Let every plan of the enemy be overturned. Let every hidden lie be exposed. Fill every dry place in us with Your waters of truth. We silence fear, cancel doubt, and declare: we are chosen, we are free, and we are filled with light.

In the power and Name of Yahusha Ha’Mashiach, we stand and say; Halleluyah! Amen.

Be Set-Apart: Walking in Faith Amid Popular Culture

Sermon Title: In the World, But Not of It

Theme: Should Believers Participate in Popular Culture (Music, Movies, Fashion etc)?

🙏🏼

Heavenly Father, Abba Yahusha,Creator of all things seen and unseen. We humble ourselves before you, open our minds to discern your truth and our hearts to live it. May this message bring clarity, conviction, and comfort to all who hear it. Let us not be swayed by the world but grounded in Your Word. In the Name of Yahushua ha'Mashiach, we pray. Halleluyah.

✨Scripture Foundation (HalleluYah Scriptures)~Romiyim (Romans) 12:2 – "And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you prove what is that good and well-pleasing and perfect desire of Elohim."

 Yoḥanan (John) 17:15-16 – "I do not pray that you should take them out of the world, but that you keep them from the wicked one. They are not of the world, as I am not of the world."

♨️

The heart of this message is not about whether music, movies, or fashion are inherently evil. But whether they align with the Ruach ha'Qodesh (Set-Apart Spirit) or draw us away from it. Let’s imagine a museum gallery deep in Manhattan. A place filled with global artifacts;

A Zulu tribal necklace representing identity and ancestral heritage. A Polish rosary, worn thin by generations of Catholic devotion. A Mohegan tribal cloak, symbolizing harmony with nature. A Buddhist prayer wheel, turning constantly to reflect focused meditation. Each piece is beautiful, but each serves a purpose within its belief system.And So too is, popular culture filled with sounds, styles, and stories. However the believer must ask; What is this leading me toward? Who is it glorifying?

✨Spiritual Symbols and Discernment

Not every beat is rebellion. King Dawid played the harp. Music was his praise. Though today's lyrics often glorify lust, greed, and ego. Ask; Does it build up the soul or break down the spirit?

Stories are powerful. Yahushua taught with parables. But are we feeding our minds horror, pride, or witchcraft?

 Tehillim (Psalms) 101:3 – "I set no matter of Beliya’al before my eyes."

Adornment is not a sin. The Mishkan (Tabernacle) was full of fine linen and jewels. Yet fashion that promotes vanity, exploitation, or immodesty can erode the inner set-apartness.

 1 Kepha (Peter) 3:3-4 – "Your adornment should not be outward... but the hidden Man of the heart."

⚜️Spiritual Traditions~In Amadlozi traditions, ancestors guide choices with spiritual discernment. In Islam, believers are taught modesty and purpose in appearance. In Catholicism, saints rejected excess and embraced simplicity.

In Chakra teachings, alignment comes when outward distractions are minimized.

These all echo what the Word already commands. Guard your gates. Eye, ear, and heart. Museum Moment√

Imagine standing before a screen playing two films~ One shows chaos, lust, and violence. The other tells of sacrifice, justice, and redemption. Both may win awards. Nevertheless only one aligns with the Kingdom. We must walk through this earthly gallery like wise curators. Not consuming everything, yet selecting with the Ruach.

 Exhortation 🙌🏼

Beloved, we are not called to hide from the world. Still to shine within it.

We can enjoy what is good, lovely, and true. However we must reject what is corrupting. Be the light at the concert. Be the salt on the runway. Be the truth in the theater.

(Phillipiyim)-Philippians 4:8 – "Whatever is true, noble, righteous, clean, lovely, good report. Think on these."

🙏🏼

Abba Yahusha, Heavenly Father, we thank You for the wisdom to discern the sacred from the profane. Help us walk wisely, not legalistically, using popular culture as a platform for truth. Not a trap for our souls. Let our minds be renewed, our hearts be guarded, and our influence be holy. We seek to glorify You in all things. In Yahushua’s Name, halleluyah.
