📖 Walking in Righteousness: Knowledge, Understanding, and Faithfulness Before Elohim 🙌🏽

AMOS 3:7 — WHEN YAH REVEALS HIS PURPOSE, HIS SERVANTS MUST LISTEN!

WBJMinistries | A Prophetic Message of Spiritual Awakening, Understanding, and Obedience

📖 AMOS 3:7

“Surely the Most High YAH will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.”

HALALUYAH! WAKE UP, PEOPLE OF THE MOST HIGH!

There comes a time when we must stop asking YAH to reveal more while refusing to obey what He has already shown us. Revelation is not about feeling superior, attracting attention, or claiming spiritual authority. It is about accepting the responsibility to walk in authenticity!

📖 AMOS 3:3 asks, “Can two walk together, except they be agreed?”

How can we claim to be guided with YAH while continually resisting His instructions? We cannot demand His blessings while deliberately rejecting the principles of righteousness.

🕎 THE SPIRITUAL TEACHINGS OF THE CHAKRAS

The seven chakras are concepts found in certain Eastern spiritual traditions. They describe centers associated with different aspects of human experience. Although they are not biblical teachings, we can use them as a reflective framework while keeping our faith rooted in the Scriptures.

🔴Root Chakra — Foundation and Security: Examine what grounds your life. 📖 Tellihim (Psalm )18:2 reminds us that YAH is our rock and fortress.

🟠Sacral Chakra — Emotions and Connections: Learn to govern your desires and respond with knowledge rather than impulse. 📖 Mishely (Proverbs) 16:32 teaches the value of meekness.

🟡 Solar Plexus Chakra — Will and Responsibility: Ownership should never become an excuse to ignore the role others played in someone’s situation. 📖 Galatiyim (Galatians )6:5 reminds us that each person must carry their own ownership.

💚Heart Chakra — Love and Compassion: Love is important, you can love someone and still refuse to tolerate their conduct. 📖 Qrinythim -1 (Corinthians )13:4–7 describes the character of love.

🔵Throat Chakra — Righteousness and Speech: Speak authenticity, carefully, and with sincerity. Ephesyim 📖 (Ephesians) 4:25 calls us to speak understanding.

🟣 Third Eye Chakra — Insight and Knowledge: Do not confuse every feeling, dream, or impression with divine revelation. Throughout Scripture, Elohim communicated through dreams, visions, and spiritual experiences. Just because we cannot immediately explain a spiritual experience does not mean it lacks divine significance. Test what you receive against Scripture. 📖 Yoḥanan 1 (John) 4:1 instructs us to test the spirits.

⚪Crown Chakra — Spiritual Connection: Different traditions associate this chakra with higher consciousness or spiritual connection. As believers in YAH, we must measure our spiritual journey by faithfulness, humility, and obedience to Him. 📖Ya’aqoḇ ( James) 4:8 calls us to draw near to Elohim.

 These comparisons are reflective applications, not a claim that the Bible teaches the chakra system or that chakras are equivalent to the Holy Spirit.

🦁 THE WARNING OF AMOS Chapter 3

When YAH reveals His righteousness, we must respond with humility and understanding. The prophetic calling is not about popularity; it is about faithfulness. A true servant must be willing to receive correction as readily as they desire revelation.

📖 Ya’aqoḇ (JAMES ) 1:22 reminds us to be doers of the Word, not hearers only.

🙌🏽 PROPHETIC DECLARATION

May YAH strengthen us to continue in authenticity, govern our desires, speak with integrity, love with compassion, and exercise knowledge. May we stop avoiding correction and begin accepting faithfulness for our spiritual growth.

HALALUYAH! ♥️ Revelation carries responsibility, and spiritual maturity is demonstrated through the way we live!

🙏🏽 CLOSING PRAYER

🙌🏽🌍🤲🏽📿🛐🙌🏽

Most High YAH, in the name of Yahusha, grant us knowledge, understanding, valor, and prudence. Help us explore our hearts, correct our ways, and continue faithfully in Your guidance. Let our lives reflect righteousness, humility, and love. Halaluyah! 💛

DANI’ĔL (DANIEL) 1: Obedience to the Chrakas Standing Firm in the Ways of the Most High

DANI’ĔL (DANIEL) 1 — OBEDIENCE OVER COMPROMISE

Scripture: DANI’ĔL 1:1–21

Family, Daniel was taken captive to Babylon, surrounded by a foreign culture, and trained to serve a king who did not worship the Elohim of Israel. Yet Daniel made a decision that demonstrated his commitment to the Most High.

📖 DANI’ĔL 1:8 — Daniel purposed in his heart not to defile himself with the king’s provisions.

The Chrakas Begin in the Heart

Daniel understood that his circumstances did not excuse him from honoring the Most High. His decision reminds us of the importance of the Chrakas, the commandments, statutes, and judgments that instruct us in righteous living.

📖 Deuteronomy 10:12–13 calls us to walk in the ways of the Most High and keep His commandments.

Obedience involves more than words. It requires us to examine our conduct, correct our wrongdoing, and live according to His instructions.

Obedience Requires Discipline

Daniel requested a 10-day test of vegetables and water rather than the king’s provisions (DANI’ĔL 1:11–16). His decision demonstrates conviction and discipline. The Torah provides instructions concerning clean and unclean foods in Leviticus 11 and Deuteronomy 14. Although Daniel 1 does not specify every reason for his refusal, his example shows that he took his responsibility to remain undefiled seriously.

The Chrakas also govern our honesty, justice, and treatment of others (Exodus 20:15–16; Deuteronomy 16:18–20).

🔥 We cannot claim obedience while knowingly practicing what the Most High forbids.

 Knowledge Comes From the Most High

📖 DANI’ĔL 1:17–20 records that Elohim gave Daniel and his companions knowledge and understanding. After three years of training, they stood before the king, who found them exceptionally capable.

Deuteronomy 4:5–8 connects the Most High’s statutes and judgments with knowledge and understanding. Study His instructions, develop your knowledge, and apply what you learn with humility and integrity.

🙏🏽 Prayer

🛐📿✝️🌍🙌🏽🤲🏽

Most High Elohim, give us understanding of Your commandments, statutes, and judgments. Strengthen us to obey Your instructions, pursue equity, and progress in righteousness. Help us follow Daniel’s example of beliefs, discipline, and understanding. In the name of Yahusha, our guide, we pray. Halaluyah!

📣 Final Word

Daniel remained faithful in Babylon because his principals were not determined by the surroundings. Let us study the Chrakas, understand their purpose, and put the Most High’s instructions into practice. Stand firm. Progress in obedience. Remain faithful.

CHRAKÁS: THE AWAKENING OF PURPOSE

THE CHRAKÁS AWAKEN: WHEN THE RUACH IGNITES THE VISION

🙏🏽 OPENING PRAYER

🌍✝️📿🙌🏽🛐🤲🏽

Elohim, awaken the light within us. Pour out Your Ruach Hakodesh and open our spiritual understanding. Awaken dreams that have been buried, visions that have been delayed, and purposes that have been forgotten. Give us fortitude to see, knowledge to understand, and devotion to transform in what You reveal. In the name of Yahusha, Halleluyah!

📖 YO'ĔL 2:28 declares, “Your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions.” This is where we understand the Chrakás: the awakening of divine understanding. The moment spiritual light begins to illuminate what was hidden, sharpen vision, awaken purpose, and give us discernment to acknowledge what Elohim is showing us. The Chrakás is not simply seeing. It is seeing with spiritual understanding. It is not simply dreaming. It is becoming willing to follow out the dream. It is the awakening that shifts you from “I can imagine it” to “I understand it, I believe it, and I will prepare for it.” Sociology teaches us to notice sequences Applied statistics helps us measure those cycles. A number such as 30 out of 100 can describe an experience, but it cannot determine the value or destiny of the individual behind the number. Systems can examine indication and issue assessments, however an assessment, does not reveal the complete story of a human soul. statistics can reveal conflict in a community, yet they cannot determine whether a person has the power to modify. The Chrakás teaches us to see beyond the surface without ignoring righteousness. Travel through Manhattan and you encounter museums, cultures, religions, universities, businesses, and generations of people searching for knowledge and meaning. The Metropolitan Museum of Art preserves centuries of human creativity. Polish lineage reminds us that generations can endure war, political transformation, displacement, and hardship while still carrying identity and hope forward.

One generation may survive what the next generation transforms.

💬Socrates challenged people to “Know thyself.” Buddhism reflects deeply on suffering and awakening. Catholicism emphasizes faith, mercy, and service. Islam emphasizes prayer, discipline, charity, and accountability. These traditions are distinct, still they demonstrate humanity's continuing search for righteousness and meaning. Joel declares something deeper: the Ruach can awaken vision.

🌟Yahusha said, “Ye are the light of the world.” Light does not have to become darkness to overcome darkness. It simply enters and darkness begins to lose its authority. That is the Chrakás.

It is the light of understanding entering a place where confusion once lived. It is resolve entering where anxiety once ruled. It is purpose awakening where disappointment tried to bury it. So I speak prophetically: Wake up! Dream again. See again. Understand again. Believe again. Build again. Do not allow your age to cancel your vision. Do not allow your past to bury your purpose. Do not allow statistics to define your destiny. Do not allow society's expectations to become Elohim's limitations. The Chrakás is awakening. Your vision is becoming clearer. Your purpose is still alive. And the illumination within you still has somewhere to shine.

Let us become illumination in our families, communities, and generation. May what You awaken within us become a blessing to those who come after us. In the name of Yahusha, Halleluyah!

🔥 When Your Senses Are Trained

🔥 Skilled to Understand: The Knowledge of Spiritual Maturity

📖ḆRIM (Hebrews) 5:14 says, “But solid food is for the mature, whose senses have been trained by practice to discern both good and evil.”📜

Elohim, open our understanding and teach us to understand righteousness and. Let the Ruha HaQadosh guide our thoughts, strengthen our judgment, and prepare us to receive the solid food of Your Word. 

In the name of Yahusha, Halleluyah!

Spiritual maturity is more than knowing Scripture. It is developing the ability to observe what is before us and proceed appropriately. That ability develops through prayer, obedience, experience, study, and correction.

The Seven Hermetic Principles, presented in The Kybalion, offer a philosophical framework for examining life. They are not Scripture and should not replace the Word, nevertheless they can provide interesting perspectives for reflection. The Principle of Mentalism centers on mind and consciousness, encouraging us to consider how our thoughts shape our perception. The Principle of Correspondence, expressed as “as above, so below; as within, so without,” considers connections between inner and outer conditions.

The Principle of Vibration describes movement and differing states of vibration. Philosophically, it can prompt us to reflect the effects our words and behavior have on our surroundings. The Principle of Polarity examines opposites and degrees between them, bringing attention to distinctions such as bright and shadow, knowledge and foolishness, and good and evil.

The Principle of Rhythm describes cycles and transforming conditions. Human life contains seasons of waiting, transition, hardship, and renewal. Understanding those seasons can help us respond appropriately rather than allowing one circumstance to define the whole journey.

The Principle of Cause and Effect teaches that conduct produce results. Scripture likewise presents the principle of sowing and reaping. What we often choose can effect both our character and our environment.

The Principle of Gender describes complementary masculine and feminine principles associated with generation and creation within Hermetic philosophy. Because this concept belongs to a particular historical system, it should be understood according to that framework rather than automatically equated with contemporary definitions of gender.

Ibrim>Hebrews 5:14 gives us the essential practice: examine what you encounter. Something does not become authentic because it is ancient, popular, intellectual, mysterious, or presented as spiritual. Learn its meaning, understand its context, examine its experiences, and compare it with the standard you follow. Our world gives us many ways of interpreting human life. Sociology studies social behavior and structures. Statistics helps us evaluate data. Geography places human experience within location and environment. Philosophy examines fundamental questions. Courts weigh description and indications. Museums preserve the beliefs and creations of civilizations across thousands of years. Buddhism, Catholicism, Islam, Hermetic philosophy, and other traditions each contain distinct histories and teachings.

Learning about these traditions does not require treating them as identical. Understanding contrasts is part of becoming thoughtful and informed.

The image of illumination gives us another lesson. When light enters a dark room, it reveals what was already there. In the same way, righteousness can uncover circumstances, goals, habits, or assumptions that were previously unseen. When something is revealed, we have an opportunity to communicate rather than remain unaware.

Socrates is famously associated with examining one's life. Scripture directs that examination toward the heart. Instead of constantly asking what is wrong with others, there are times when the better question is, “What is Yahusha showing me?”

🔥 The prophetic message is this: Do not allow your origins to become a prison. Let the lessons of your experiences inform the person you are becoming. What you have encountered may have taught you patience, boundaries, compassion, resolve, or greater awareness. You do not have to understand everything at once. Remain teachable, explore carefully, and allow each step to be guided by righteousness. The Hermetic principles can raise philosophical questions; Ibrim> Hebrews 5:14 calls us to develop the maturity to examine the answers.

💡 The Takeaway

When something unfamiliar comes before you, do not immediately accept it or reject it. Stop. Assess it.

Ask: What is it? Where did it come from? What does it produce? Does it agree with the righteousness I follow?

Then make your next shift deliberately.

That is the practice of mature clarity.

The Path of Knowledge

🔥 FILLED WITH SPIRITUAL UNDERSTANDING

QOLASIM (Colossians) 1:9–10

🙏🏼 Opening Prayer

📿✝️🙌🏼🛐🤲🏼🌍

Elohim, open our understanding today. Fill us with the knowledge of Your understanding, and spiritual clarity. Help us not only to hear Your Word, but to walk it, live it, and produce good fruit. Let Your illumination expose confusion and lead us into knowledge. Give us awareness to understand ourselves, our families, our communities, and the world around us without losing sight of You.

In the name of Yahusha, Halleluyah!

📖 Halleluyah — QOLASIM 1:9–10

Paul prayed that believers would be “filled with the knowledge of his will in all knowledge and spiritual understanding.” This is more than knowing Scripture. It is knowing how to live what Scripture teaches. We live in a world overflowing with information. Sociology gives us rhythms. Applied statistics gives us numbers. History gives us data. Courts give us laws and judgments. Museums preserve civilizations. Geography shows us where people live and how societies develop. Nevertheless information is not the same as revelation. A statistic can tell you what is happening. Spiritual understanding helps you discern how you should acknowledge.

🔥 Prophetic Message — Your Understanding Is Being Enlarged

There is a powerful principle here: Elohim is calling His people to move from information to understanding, and from understanding to righteous action.

The ancient Hermetic tradition expressed principles concerning correspondence, causation, polarity, rhythm, mentalism, vibration, and other ideas about how reality and human experience relate. We should be discerning with these teachings and not place them above Scripture. Nonetheless some of these philosophical principles can serve as illustrations for biblical reflection.

The principle often expressed as “as above, so below” can remind us that what happens within us can eventually manifest through our practices.

What is happening in your mind eventually affects your course. If your thoughts are filled with anxiety, anxiety can inspire your resolutions. If your heart is filled with bitterness, bitterness can influence your connections. If your mind is being renewed by righteousness, that renewal can guide your conduct.

That connects with QOLASIM 1:10:

> “That ye might walk worthy of the Master…”

The inner life and the outward life cannot remain completely separated.

🕊️ Guidance and Spiritual Depth

Illumination represents revelation.

When you turn on a light in a dark room, the furniture was already there, you simply could not see it. Spiritual understanding works the same way.

Elohim's light can reveal what was already operating inside us: motives, habits, anxieties, gifts, obstacles, and patterns. And this is where another Hermetic idea, the principle of cause and effect, can give us something to consider. Our choices have consequences. What we repeatedly ponder about can impact what we repeatedly do. What we repeatedly do can become trends. And trends can shape lives. Yet here is the good news:

A destructive pattern does not have to become your permanent future. Through repentance, knowledge, discipline, and obedience, the ways can change.

🌍 The World Around Us

Look at crime and violence.

We can measure incidents statistically, map them geographically, study poverty, explore family structures, education, housing, economics, and social conditions.

Those things matter. Though behind every statistic is a human being. Spiritual understanding teaches us to see the person behind the number. The same applies to gender, culture, religion, and lineage. Whether we study Buddhism, Catholicism, Islam, African traditions, or connected to Polish lineage and any other culture, we are looking at people trying to answer fundamental questions about existence, morality, suffering, identity, and purpose.

Humanity keeps searching for knowledge. Still QOLASIM reminds us that true spiritual maturity requires us to seek the will of Elohim and walk according to it.

🔥 The Serious Question

Do not simply ask:

“What do I know?”

Ask:

“What am I doing with what I know?”

Donoty ask only:

“What is happening around me?”

Ask:

“What is Elohim teaching me through it?”

Do not ask only:

“When will my circumstances change?”

Ask:

“What needs to change in me?”

That is spiritual understanding.

And QOLASIM gives us the progression:

Know His will.

Receive knowledge.

Gain spiritual understanding.

Live worthy.

Bear fruit.

Continue increasing in the knowledge of Elohim.

💖 A Word of Encouragement

Your past does not have to dictate your future. Your family history does not have to imprison you. Your mistakes do not have to become your identity. Your circumstances do not have to determine your character. Elohim can give you understanding that changes the way you see everything. The goal is not simply to become knowledgeable. The goal is to become insightful. Not simply to speak about light. However to walk in it. Not simply to hear the Word. Yet to become fruitful through it.

🙏🏼 Closing Prayer

🤲🏼🛐🙌🏼✝️📿🌍

Elohim, thank You for opening our understanding. Help us recognize the difference between information and understanding, knowledge and revelation, observation and discernment. Renew our minds. Correct our thinking. Order our steps. Help us see destructive ways and replace them with righteous ones. Let our thoughts produce good righteousness, our righteousness produce good fruit, and our fruit bring glory to You. Fill us with the knowledge of Your will. Help us walk worthy. Help us recognize beyond what our natural eyes can see. Let Your illumination shine through us.

In the name of Yahusha,

HALLELUYAH! 🙏🏼🔥

WHEN YOU DON’T KNOW

🔥 WHEN YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO — ASK FOR WISDOM

Ya’aqob (James) 1:5

📖“If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of Elohim.”📜

There are times when you are not lost; you are simply standing between where you were and where you are progressing. You have information, experience, and opinions from others, but you still do not know what to do. Ya’aqob gives us the answer: ask Elohim for insight. Knowledge tells you what you know, yet understanding teaches you what to do with what you know. We can look at the seven chakras as a symbolic picture of different areas within us that can affect how we receive and respond to direction. The root chakra represents grounding and stability. Before you shift, ask yourself, “What am I standing on?” Anxiety and desperation can make you rush into things that disturb your foundation. Knowledge teaches you to become grounded before you shift.

The sacral chakra is connected with emotions, desires, creativity, and associations. Ask, “What is really driving me?” Sometimes we think we are following direction when we are actually reacting from something, anger, disrespect, or pressure. Having emotions is human, however knowledge teaches us not to allow sentiments to become our guide.

The solar plexus chakra represents personal power, confidence, discipline, and action. This reminds us to explore whether we are trusting Elohim or trying to govern everything ourselves. Sometimes we pray for knowledge nevertheless have already established what we want. True knowledge requires a heart that is willing to be corrected and redirected.

The heart chakra represents love, compassion, forgiveness, and emotional healing. Sometimes the knowledge we need is not about shifting another person; it is about understanding how to stop carrying what learned about what they did. Forgiveness does not mean calling wrong right. It means refusing to allow yesterday's conflicts to control tomorrows. 

The throat chakra represents communication and expression. Scripture reminds us that our communication matter. We should explore what we continually express over ourselves and our circumstances. We can acknowledge difficulty without declaring defeat. We can say, “I don't understand,” while still saying, “I trust Elohim to show me the way.”

The third-eye chakra is traditionally connected with perception, insight, and discernment. Not every feeling is revelation, and not every thought is instruction. This is why we need guidance. We must assess what we see, test what we believe, and pay attention to where our resolutions are leading us. Sometimes the wisest words are, “I am still seeking understanding.”

The crown chakra represents higher awareness and spiritual connection. This brings us back to Ya’aqob 1:5. There is no shame in admitting that we lack understanding. We can ask Elohim with humility and an open heart, willing not only to receive an answer nonetheless also to follow it. You may be standing at a crossroads today, wondering what comes next. You do not need to see the entire road. You only need enough illumination for the next step. Ask Elohim, “What is my next righteous shift?” Then listen, understand, and be willing to receive when understanding comes.

I declare: I will not allow anxiety, confusion, or desires to govern my determinations. I will seek clarity before I shift. I will receive guidance without losing my identity. I will watch what I express, explore what I believe, and remain teachable. I will ask Elohim for wisdom, and when understanding comes, I will progress in it.

Ya’aqob 1:5 — Ask. Receive. Understand. Align. Progress.

Halaluyah. 🕊️🔥

Forward by Faith 🕊️

🌱 THE NEXT NEW THING

When Yahusha Is Teaching You to Adjust Distinctly

📖 Mishlei (Proverbs) 4:7

“Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.”

Sometimes the old way disappears before we understand why. A product we always used is gone, a routine changes, a door closes, or a ministry method no longer works. We may ask, “How do I get back to what I had?” But perhaps the better question is: “Yahusha, what are You showing me next?” 🌱

The seven chakras can be used as a symbolic framework for self-examination, while the seven Hermetic principles offer another framework for understanding systems, views, and growth. Neither replaces Scripture; Yahusha and the Scriptures remain our foundation. 📖

The Root Chakra represents grounding and stability, reminding us of Mentalism, our thoughts influence how we experience circumstances. 🌳 When something shifts, instead of immediately thinking, “Everything is going wrong,” pause and seek understanding. If your familiar beauty product disappears, you can remain  troubled searching for it or discover a completely new look. In ministry, a closed door can become a creative opportunity.

The Sacral Chakra represents creativity and adaptability and connects with Correspondence. What happens within us can inspire what wecreate outwardly. 🧡 If I controls us, it can affect our work. But when we become open to possibilities, creativity begins to move. A ministry message may stay the same while the presentaDissatisfactiontion becomes new—through video, storytelling, nature, the Cosmos, or everyday examples. 🎨🌌

The Solar Plexus Chakra represents confidence and discipline, connecting with Vibration—life is constantly moving. ☀️ We cannot remain exactly where we were. Learning something new does not mean we have failed; it means we are developing. You can say, “I have enough experience to know that I can still learn.” In ministry, confidence means knowing you do not have to copy someone else's voice.

The Heart Chakra represents love and compassion, connecting with Polarity—life can contain disappointment and opportunity at the same time. 💚 Losing something familiar may hurt while also opening another door. You do not have to deny disappointment; you simply do not have to let it become your final chapter. In ministry, compassion allows us to meet people where they are.

The Throat Chakra represents communication and expression, connecting with Cause and Effect. 💙 What we speak and teach matters. A parent constantly saying, “You cannot,” can influence how a child sees themselves. A ministry that speaks truth, wisdom, responsibility, and hope can help people see another possibility. Our voice carries responsibility. 📢

The Third Eye Chakra represents perception and insight, connecting with Rhythm. 👁️ Life moves through seasons. There are times to build, rest, learn, release, and begin again. Just like the body needs both exercise and recovery, ministry also has active and quiet seasons. A slower season is not necessarily a wasted season. 🌙

The Crown Chakra represents higher awareness and spiritual connection, connecting with Gender. The balancing of complementary qualities such as giving and receiving, producing and nurturing, listening and expressing. 👑 We cannot continually pour out without taking time to receive knowledge, study, pray, and renew ourselves. 🌌

And Scripture brings us back to the heart of the matter. Romiyim (Romans) 12:2 speaks of being transformed by the renewing of our minds. Our circumstances may become renewed, nevertheless we do not have to allow every external transformation to control our internal resolve.

🔥 This is the message of WBJMinistries:

Do not become so attached to one way that you miss what can be created next.

If the presentation transform > create.

If the routine renew > adapt.

If the opportunity grows > learn.

If your understanding evolve > prosper.

And if your ministry expression changes, remember:

🌱 The calling can remain while the expression evolves.

So instead of asking:

“Why is the previous path gone?”

Ask:

🌟 “Yahusha, what are You teaching me to create next?”

Because sometimes what we believe is being taken away is actually making room for something we never considered. 🌱 The former season may have served its purpose. 🌌 The next new thing may be developing your purpose. 🔥 And the next level may begin when you stop trying to recreate yesterday and become willing to discover tomorrow.

Halaluyah! 🙌🏼🌱🌌

🙏🏼 CLOSING PRAYER

🤲🏼📿✝️🛐🌍🙌🏼

Yahusha, give us knowledge when things shift and understanding before we make assumptions. Help us stay grounded, creative, disciplined, compassionate, wise in our sayings, discerning in our vision, and connected to purpose. Teach us to learn from every season without becoming trapped by it. Let our creativity serve righteousness, our experiences produce knowledge, and our voices bring understanding. When the former way is no longer available, give us the courage to stop asking, “How do I go back?” and begin asking, “What are You teaching me to create next?” 🌱 May we not hesitate to move forward. May we understand it, learn from it, and move forward with purpose.

Halaluyah! 🙌🏼

OPEN MY EYES 👁️🌈

📖 TEHILLIM (PSALMS) 119:18

👁️ EYES OPENED TO WHAT IS WITHIN

"Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law."

— Tehillim (Psalms) 119:18

There is a difference between looking 👀 and truly seeing 👁️. We can read the Word 📖 and still miss what Yahusha is revealing to us. The writer of Tehillim understood this when he cried, “Open thou mine eyes.” He was asking for more than natural sight. He was asking for understanding, awareness, knowledge, and revelation. ✨

As we examine what is happening within us, we can also reflect on the seven chakras, traditionally understood as centers connected with different areas of the body, emotions, and human insight. 🌿 Each is commonly represented by a different color, giving us a visual reminder to examine different areas of our lives.

🔴 The Root Chakra, traditionally associated with red, represents grounding, stability, security, and foundation. It causes us to ask, “What am I standing upon?” When everything around us changes, what keeps us grounded? Yahusha, open my eyes to my foundation. Show me where anxiety has become my foundation and teach me to establish my life upon righteousness. 📖

🟠 The Sacral Chakra, traditionally associated with orange, is connected with emotions, connections, creativity, and desire. This reminds us to look honestly at what we are carrying within. What emotions are controlling our selections? What associations have affected our peace? What pain have we never released? Yahusha, open my eyes to what I am carrying emotionally and teach me how to walk with knowledge instead of allowing every belief to direct my path. 🙏🏼

🟡 The Solar Plexus Chakra, traditionally associated with yellow, represents will, identity, confidence, motivation, and personal power. This causes us to examine our motives. Are we walking in confidence or pride? Are we exercising discipline or trying to regulate everything? Sometimes we want to know every detail of what is coming next, but Yahusha may be teaching us to trust Him one step at a time. Open my eyes, Yahusha, and show me where I need strength, humility, discipline, and Devotion. 🔥

🟢 The Heart Chakra, traditionally associated with green, represents love, compassion, forgiveness, and emotional openness. ❤️ This is where we must ask, “What is really in my heart?” Are we carrying bitterness? Anger? Grief? Lack of release? Sometimes we hide wounds so deeply that we forget they are still influencing us. Yahusha, open my eyes to what is within my heart. Where healing is needed, reveal it. Where forgiveness is needed, teach me. Where love needs to grow, cultivate it within me. 🌿

🔵 The Throat Chakra, traditionally associated with blue, represents communication, righteousness, and expression. 🗣️ This reminds us to explore our words. What are we speaking over ourselves? What are we speaking over our families? Yahusha, open my eyes to my words. Teach me when to speak, when to listen, and how to speak righteousness with knowledge. Let my words bring life rather than destruction. 💧

🟣 The Third Eye Chakra, traditionally associated with indigo, represents perception, intuition, insight, and understanding. 👁️ But not everything we feel is revelation, and not every thought is instruction. We need recognition to recognize what is righteous. Yahusha, open my spiritual understanding. Help me distinguish knowledge from assumption, awareness from emotion, and clarity from anxiety. Let my perception be guided by Your Word rather than by what merely appears before my eyes. ✨

🟪 The Crown Chakra, traditionally associated with violet or purple, represents higher awareness, contemplation, and spiritual connection. 👑 Yet our desire should not simply be to experience something spiritual. Our desire should be to gain knowledge that produces righteousness, obedience, and transformation. Let every level of our awareness bring us back to righteousness. Let our understanding lead us closer to Yahusha and deeper into His Word. 📖

So when we cry, “Open thou mine eyes,” we are asking Yahusha to reveal what is happening not only around us, but within us. 👁️ Open my eyes to my foundation. Open my eyes to my disposition. Open my eyes to my objectives. Open my eyes to my heart. Open my eyes to my communication. Open my eyes to my perception. Open my eyes to my spiritual understanding. 🙏🏼

Sometimes Yahusha does not immediately change the situation because He is first changing our understanding of the situation. YIRMEYAHU (JEREMIAH) 29:11

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares YHWH, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”YHWH knows the plans He has for you. Even when you cannot see the whole path yet.🌱

That is why we should never be afraid to pray, “Yahusha, I do not understand this yet. Open my eyes.” 👁️✨

Let the Word illuminate what has been hidden. 💡 Let understanding bring clarity. Let revelation produce respect. Let what Yahusha reveals become something we live rather than something we simply read. 📖🔥

Yahusha, open our eyes. 👁️ Open our understanding. 🧠 Search our hearts. ❤️ Examine our thoughts. Guide our teachings. 🗣️ Strengthen our foundation. 🌿 Give us the ability to distinguish.✨ Help us recognize what You are teaching us and give us the steadfastness to walk according to Your Word.

Halaluyah! 🙌🏼🔥

👁️ THE SEVEN CHAKRAS — A FRAMEWORK FOR SELF-EXAMINATION

Some traditions describe seven chakras as centers associated with different areas of human experience. We do not have to make them Scripture to use the concept as a reflection tool.

Ask yourself:

🔴 ROOT — FOUNDATION

What am I standing on?

Anxiety? Survival? Or righteousness and trust?

🟠 SACRAL — DESIRE & CREATIVITY

What desires are controlling me?

Are my gifts being used for purpose or distraction?

🟡 SOLAR PLEXUS — WILL & IDENTITY

Who am I becoming?

Am I operating from pride or walking in humility and purpose?

💚 HEART — LOVE & COMPASSION

What is living in my heart?

Bitterness? Resentment? Or Forgiveness and Compassion?

🔵 THROAT — TRUTH & EXPRESSION

What am I speaking?

Am I speaking righteous, knowledge, encouragement, or reacting from emotion?

🟣 THIRD EYE — PERCEPTION & DISCERNMENT

What am I seeing that others may not see?

But am I testing what I perceive?

⚪ CROWN — SPIRITUAL CONNECTION

What governs my understanding?

My ego? My emotions? Tradition? Or am I seeking knowledge from Elohim? 🔥 And here is where we must be careful:

Not everything we perceive is revelation.

Not every feeling is the Ruach.

Not every coincidence is a sign.

Not every dream is a prophecy.

Not every open door is permission.

📖 1 Yohanan (1 John) 4:1 teaches us to test the spirits.

🔥 Discernment means you do not just receive, you examine.

🧠 RENEW YOUR MIND

📖 Romiyim (Romans) 12:2

"Be transformed by the renewing of your mind."

Your mind cannot remain the same while you ask for a transformed life.

What you repeatedly think about matters. What you repeatedly practice matters. What you repeatedly speak matters. What you repeatedly tolerate matters. 🔥 Renewal requires participation. You pray but you also think differently. You receive revelation. Yet you also make different choices. You gain understanding. Still you also walk differently. 

🔥 THE WBJMINISTRIES QUESTION

Do not just ask:

“What am I seeing?”

Ask:

👁️ What am I seeing?

🧠 What am I understanding?

❤️ What is happening inside me?

👄 What am I speaking?

👣 What am I doing?

🙌🏼 Who can I support?

Because revelation that never produces righteous action is only information.

🔥 SEE → DISCERN → RENEW → OBEY → SUPPORT

That is the movement.

📖 TEHILLIM (PSALMS) 119:105

«“Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.”»

Notice:

The lamp gives you enough illumination for the next step. You may not see the entire road. You may not know everything. Nevertheless you can know the next righteous step. 🔥 Stop demanding the whole map when Elohim is giving you the next step.

🔥 FINAL CHARGE

WBJMinistries, your assignment is not simply to become more spiritual.

It is to become more discerning.

More righteous.

More disciplined.

More compassionate.

More intentional.

More guided. And more willing to support others with what you have learned.

👁️ Open your understanding.

🧠 Renew your mind.

❤️ Examine your heart.

👄 Guard your words.

👣 Order your steps.

🤲🏼 Use what you have received to support. 🔥 You are not being awakened merely to see. You are being awakened to support.

🔥 CALLED TO RIGHTEOUSNESS.

🤲🏼 SET APART TO SUPPORT.

Halaluyah! 🔥🕊️

🙏🏼 CLOSING PRAYER

🙌🏼✝️🌍🤲🏼🛐📿

Abba Yah, Father of Glory,

Open the eyes of our understanding. 👁️

Renew our minds. 🧠

Purify our hearts. ❤️

Guard our words. 👄

Order our steps. 👣

Give us knowledge to understand what is righteous and clarity to reject what is not. Do not allow us to confuse emotion with revelation. Teach us to test everything, hold onto what is righteous, and walk in obedience. And whatever You develop within us, teach us how to use it to support. Let our lives become a demonstration of transformation.

In the name of Yahusha,

🔥 Halaluyah! ⚜️

Set Apart: A Journey Into Righteousness

🔥 WHEN ADVERSITY BECOMES NORMAL, BE THE HOPE

Called to Righteousness. Set Apart to Support.

🙏🏼 Opening Prayer

✝️🌍🛐🙌🏼📿🤲🏼

Elohim, open our eyes to what is happening in our world. Give us knowledge to understand the numbers, fortitude to confront injustice, compassion for those who suffer, and understanding to recognize desolation without becoming part of it. Teach us to pursue Righteousness, protect life, seek equity, and walk in peace. Let this message bring awareness, healing, and action. In Yahusha's name, Halleluyah!

🌍 A WORLD THAT NEEDS LIGHT

One of the serious problems of our time is violence. Not only the violence we see in crime and war, but the anger, hatred, division, abuse, and dehumanization that can produce it.

New York City gives us an important lesson. In 2025, murders fell 20.2%, from 382 to 305, and shooting incidents fell to 688, a historic low. Manhattan murders fell 33%. Yet reported rapes increased 16%, showing us why we must look at the whole picture rather than celebrate one number and ignore another.

This is where sociology and applied statistics matter. Statistics help us recognize patterns, nonetheless every number represents a human life. Crime is influenced by many factors. Family, environment, opportunity, poverty, social connections, systems, and individual paths. Data should not replace compassion; data should sharpen compassion.

Geography matters too. Manhattan is one small island, yet its neighborhoods can have very different histories, populations, resources, and social conditions. We must never use geography to stereotype people. We should use it to understand communities and ask: What conditions help people flourish, and what conditions place people at greater risk?

📖 WHAT DOES SCRIPTURE SAY?

Halleluyah Scriptures — Bereshith (Genesis )1:27 reminds us that humanity was created in the image of Elohim. That means a person cannot be reduced to a crime statistic.

Shemot (Exodus )20:13 gives us the command: “Thou shalt not kill.”📜

And Mishely (Proverbs) 6:16–19 condemns hands that shed innocent blood and those who sow discord.

Notice something important:

 violence can begin before the weapon appears. It can begin with hatred.

With humiliation.

With prejudice.

With uncontrolled provoking.

With teaching children that sparking is strength. That is why the battle against conflict must also be a battle for the human heart and human character.

⚖️ EQUITY IS NOT REVENGE

The courtroom teaches us something powerful. Due process matters. The accused has rights, victims deserve uprightness, and society must be protected. However equity and revenge are not the same. Catholic social teaching emphasizes human dignity and the common good. Islam teaches fairness and places tremendous value on preserving human life. Buddhism teaches that hatred cannot be overcome by hatred. And philosophy has wrestled with this question for thousands of years.

💬Marcus Aurelius emphasized self-mastery. Socrates challenged people to examine themselves. Aristotle taught that character is developed through repeated resolved.

The lesson is simple:

It is not always about controlling ourselves because we do not have control over others. So, we must be responsible in our response in protecting ourselves.

Real strength is not, “I can destroy you.”

Real strength is:

“I can control myself.”

🏛️ HISTORY REMINDS US THAT PEOPLE CAN REBUILD

Walk through Manhattan's museums and you encounter thousands of years of human history.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection spans more than 5,000 years of human creativity and civilization. The Museum of the City of New York and the Tenement Museum tell stories of immigration, struggle, family, and rebuilding. The 9/11 Memorial & Museum reminds us that violence can produce unimaginable loss. Yet also remembrance, unity, and rebuilding.

Look at Polish history. Millions of Polish people migrated, carrying their language, culture, faith, and traditions across oceans. They experienced oppression and hardship, yet they built communities and preserved what they could pass to future generations. History may contain suffering without our future having to remain trapped in suffering. What happened before you does not have to determine what happens now.

☸️♀️♂️ WE MUST BREAK THE CYCLE

Gender studies also reminds us to examine how society teaches ideas about masculinity, femininity, power, vulnerability, and aggression. A man should not have to prove strength through violence. A woman should never have to accept abuse to prove love. Achild should not have to grow up believing conflict is normal. Every person deserves dignity, duty, safety, and the opportunity to become better. That does not mean excusing wrongdoing. It means understanding that equity can confront evil while still recognizing human dignity.

🌌 LIGHT, THE COSMOS, AND OUR PURPOSE

Now look beyond Manhattan.

Look beyond Earth.

Look into the Cosmos.

( Yeshayahu) Isaiah 40:26 calls us to lift our eyes and consider the heavens.

Science allows us to observe galaxies, stars, planets, and a universe far greater than our individual lives. And suddenly our arguments look different.

Our ego looks different.

Our hatred looks different.

We are small. However our directions are not meaningless. Light is more than something we see. Clarity reveals. Revelation guides. Understanding exposes darkness. Hope gives guidance. And spiritually, we are called to carry that illumination into places where people have forgotten hope.

🔥 Prophetic Message

I believe this is a time to break cycles.

Cycles of harm.

Cycles of hatred.

Cycles of abuse.

Cycles of hopelessness.

Cycles of division.

You may not be able to change the entire world today. However you can change what comes through you.

You can refuse to return hatred for hatred.

You can teach your children peace.

You can speak righteousness without cruelty.

You can pursue equity without revenge.

You can forgive without removing boundaries.

You can choose knowledge before reacting. The confusion does not need another person to feed it. It needs somebody willing to bring clarity.

Martin Luther King Jr. said:

> “Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that.”💬

So don't become what you are fighting against.

Be the radiance.

Prepared in the Wilderness: Called to Verity, Set Apart to Serve

CALLED TO RIGHTEOUSNESS— PREPARED IN THE WILDERNESS

Book of Yoḥanan 1:1–39

Called to Verity. Set Apart to Serve.

There is something very serious written in this account of Yoḥanan of the Wilderness: his assignment was spoken before he was even old enough to understand it.

Yoḥanan was not born simply to live an ordinary life. He was born with a purpose. He was to be filled with the Ruaḥ Ha’Qodesh, teach the people, turn hearts back toward the knowledge of the Torah, call people away from wrongdoing, and prepare them for the coming of the Deliverer.

That tells us something important about calling: Your purpose may begin before you understand your purpose.

There are things ‎𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 can place inside a person long before that person understands what they have been carrying.

But this calling came with a cost.

THE COST OF PROTECTING WHAT ‎𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 ENTRUSTED

Zeḵaryah was placed in a position where he had to choose between protecting himself and protecting the child entrusted to him.

He was threatened.

He was pressured.

He was told that his life was in the hands of Hĕrodĕs.

But Zeḵaryah refused to betray the child.

His response was powerful:

“If my blood be shed, ‎𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 Himself will bear witness to the deed, and innocent blood never cries out to Him in vain.”

That is not the language of someone who is controlled by anxiety. Zeḵaryah understood that there are moments when obedience requires courage.

There will be times when standing for righteousness costs you something.

There will be times when people misunderstand you. There will be times when protecting what ‎𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 has entrusted to you requires you to stand alone.

But remember this:

Fear does not cancel a calling. Opposition does not cancel a calling. And persecution does not automatically mean you are on the wrong path.

Sometimes obedience is costly because what you are carrying has value.

THE WILDERNESS WAS NOT ABANDONMENT

Elisheḇa fled with Yoḥanan into the wilderness. She lost what was familiar.

She had to survive in a difficult place.

Eventually, she died, and Yoḥanan was left without the mother who had protected him. Yet the account says that ‎𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 intervened, and Yoḥanan was raised by others until the day he went forth to announce the coming of the Deliverer.

This is where we need to understand something:

The wilderness was not the absence of ‎𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄. The wilderness became part of Yoḥanan's preparation. Sometimes ‎𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 will remove you from environments that cannot prepare you for where you are going.

Sometimes isolation is not rejection.

Sometimes separation is preparation.

Sometimes the season you wanted to escape is the very season developing the strength you will need down the road. Yoḥanan was prepared before he was publicly recognized. He was formed away from the crowd before he ever stood before the crowd. So if you are in a wilderness season, do not automatically assume that you have been forgotten.

Ask:

“What is ‎𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 preparing me to support?”

SET APART DOES NOT MEAN SHUT AWAY

There is another lesson here that cannot be ignored. The people who raised Yoḥanan were reverent, nevertheless they were also described as exclusive. They adopted outcasts and orphans, yet they did not concern themselves with others. Yoḥanan eventually rebelled against that exclusiveness.

Why?

Because he understood that the message he carried was not meant to remain hidden inside a private community. Righteousness was meant to reach the people. This is important for anyone who considers themselves set apart. Being set apart does not mean believing you are better than everybody else. Being set apart means being available for service. Holy does not mean hateful. Set apart does not mean inaccessible.

Righteousness does not belong to a private circle. If ‎𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 gives you understanding, it should produce responsibility. Not superiority.

REPENTANCE REQUIRES CHANGE

The assignment given to Yoḥanan was not simply to tell people that a Deliverer was coming. He was to give knowledge of deliverance through repentance and reparation. That means reversed course. It means acknowledging what is wrong.

It means changing direction.

It means correcting what can be corrected. It means making things right where reparation is possible.

True repentance is not merely saying, “I apologize.”

Repentance produces movement.

You cannot continually walk in the same direction and claim that you have pivoted. If righteousness has reached you, something about your life should eventually change.

DO NOT BECOME SO RELIGIOUS THAT YOU MISS THE WORK OF ‎𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄

There is also a warning concerning the religious leadership. The learned kohenim had their expectations about who the Mashiaḥ could be. They had their understanding. They had their traditions. They had their conclusions.

Yet ‎𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 was working in ways they did not expect. That should make us examine ourselves. We must never become so attached to our traditions, systems, titles, interpretations, or institutions that we become unable to recognize what ‎𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 is doing.

Do not let religion become so loud that you can no longer hear the Ruaḥ.

The question is not simply:

“What have I always been taught?”

The question is:

“What is righteous?”

And once vetity is revealed, we have a responsibility to respond to it.

YOḤANAN WAS A VOICE, NOT THE DESTINATION

Perhaps one of the greatest lessons in this passage is that Yoḥanan understood his position.

He was preparing the way.

He was not the Deliverer.

He was not the final goal.

He was the voice calling people to organize.

That requires humility.

A messenger should never become more important than the message.

And the message should never become more important than the One who sent it. If ‎𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 gives you a platform, use it to point people toward Him.

If He gives you understanding, use it to teach.

If He gives you testimony, use it to encourage.

If He gives you a ministry, use it to serve.

If He gives you Verity, do not use it to build your ego. Use it to help somebody find their way back.

THE CALL TO US

This passage forces us to ask some serious questions.

What has ‎𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 entrusted to you?

Are you protecting it?

Are you obeying it?

Are you allowing your wilderness season to organize you? Are you willing to stand when standing becomes uncomfortable?

Are you willing to repent when righteousness exposes something in you?

Are you willing to make things right?

Are you so focused on being different that you have forgotten to serve?

Are you pointing people toward ‎𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, or are you pointing them toward yourself? Because being called is not enough. Being set apart is not enough.

Knowing Scripture is not enough.

Talking about righteousness is not enough. Verity must produce obedience.

Obedience must produce character.

Character must produce service.

Yoḥanan's wilderness eventually became his place of proclamation.

The place where he was prepared became the place from which he spoke.

And that is the word I want to leave with you:

Do not despise your wilderness.

You may be there because you are being positioned. You may be there because ‎𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 is separating you from distractions. You may be there because your voice needs to become stronger before it reaches the people. You may be there because your character has to catch up with your calling. But do not stay in the wilderness forever. When the time comes, come out organized.

Come out with righteousness 

Come out with meekness.

Come out with Fortitude.

Come out ready to support.

Because the purpose of being set apart is not to remain hidden. You are set apart so you can minister.

CALLED TO RIGHTEOUSNESS.

SET APART TO SERVE.

And when ‎𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 gives you a message, do not make the message about yourself.

Prepare the way.

Tell the righteousness.

Call people back.

Serve with humbleness.

And point everything back to the Most High Elohim.
