I promise you it is worth it. Yahweh and this Kingdom life are worth it! Whatever you may have to go through is worth it. If we are on a Kingdom path, we've probably been through enough trials and testing times to know that already, but in case you forgot...
Recently, I went through a time when I was afraid I would not be able to keep going. I was not sure I had the strength or fortitude to keep choosing the Kingdom path when the enemy was besetting me with so many opportunities to completely quit.
My ecclesia family gather around me quite a few times and helped me through that time (thank you!), but it was so very hard because I could not sense that Yahweh was with me. The worst part was that it was so hard to worship Him, not because He wasn't worthy or worship. I knew He was! I desperately wanted to worship Him, to enter His presence, but there was something blocking that.
I thought I was going to die. Literally. I knew if I quit, I would literally die. My purpose would die with me; my part in Yahweh's vision would die, too.
I also knew Yahweh was worth it and I would be ok if I could find Him again.
I did not find Him; He found me.
Not only was it worth it to keep going because I received what He promised me, but when I kept going, I remembered promises He made to me that I had forgotten, Words He whispered to my spirit at my very creation.
As we keep going, we receive much more than we think we will.
The enemy will try to kill us, try to stop us, try to get us to give up and walk away because it is such a hard path. But I ask you, what is easier, exactly? The path that leads to a place without Yahweh, that leads ultimately to death? If not our literal death, the deaths of our purpose and vision?
It is worth it. I never knew how worth it it would be. I knew just enough to keep going, but oh! There was so much more waiting for me on the other side than I ever imagined possible.

Somebody Has to Say Yes
It's been a long time since I've blogged. I've grown aeons in the past few months, and it seems like forever ago that October was or August began. I think it's been years, really. It's been a trip, but all things work together for good and I've learned so much in the past few months.
Today I was writing and I got a revelation. I realized that I matter, that I'm important. It's easy to think that's not true. The enemy loves to tell us otherwise. I mean, why would Yahweh really need us anyway? He is omnipotent, sovereign. He is able to redeem all things together for good. If His Word never returns void, even if I do not pick up the mantle, someone else will come along and carry it.
I've always thought that that meant that it didn't really matter what I did except to me. In other words, it would cost the Kingdom nothing if I were not in it, but it would cost me everything. Yahweh has always been my everything, and the thought of not getting to be with Him or receive the fullness of all He is and all He has for me has impelled me to keep going through the roughest times in my life. Still, I thought that was only my blessing, the ability to receive Yahweh. His is my inheritance and I love Him and I would go through anything to be with Him.
I never thought that it would be important to Him, important to His Kingdom. After all, He has decided to work through people, but He can work through any person, right? If not me, than somebody else will come along who will agree with Him and carry His Kingdom on to completion, right?
Tonight I realized that we could all say that, and we could be waiting for a thousand years for the next person who would agree to pick up the mantle, the anointing that Yahweh has placed in the Earth. Each and every one of us could pass the buck and say that somebody else can do it. Yahweh can redeem all things. His Word will never return void.
But somebody has to say yes. For Yahweh's Word to manifest in the Earth, He has declared and decreed that His people, in whom He placed His Holy Spirit, would have to have faith in His Word and come into agreement with the purposes, plans, and visions He has for not only their lives, but the metrons they live in, and the grander tapestry of creation.
We are the ones who will say yes. We are the sons creation cries out for, groaning with eagerness and awaiting our adoption. We are the ones who will carry His Kingdom on to completion, the ones Yahweh has been waiting for, the ones He has been scanning the Earth for.
He has been waiting for a people who would believe in His Word, and more than believe. He has been waiting for a people who would take His Word as a seed, meditate on it, grow it, nurture it. He has been waiting for a people who would bring His Word to the fullness of manifestation on the Earth as it already is in Heaven. We are a people who will not simply pray and ask Yahweh for His will to be done in the Earth. Instead, we will allow Him to work through us to make it so!
We are a strong nation, a mighty ecclesia, Yahweh's Zadokim. His people. We matter. We are important. Without us, He has to wait and wait and wait.
Yahweh has been waiting for a people of faith. I will not make Him wait any longer. I am a person of faith. I matter. I say yes, and amen. HalleluYah!
