Ozarks Hebrew Heritage Celebrating the Hebrew Roots of our Faith

Mercy Removed

On Friday, 7-19, a statement was made which went something like this: When everything is over and done, he wants to have found favor in Yeshua’s sight to be able to walk into His Throne room , to see Him face-to-face and say, “Thank You for all You have done”! It made me think of a song we used to sing, “If Jesus (Yeshua) would lift His mercy (Spirit or Presence) from me”. It came to me that if Yeshua would lift His mercy from me, where would I go, what would I be? If I no longer could follow the Cloud (this Cloud is the power of Yehovah, it is the same cloud the Children of Israel followed by day and the Pillar of fire by night). What would my destiny be (I would not have a future). Here are some scriptures which helped me . . .

Psalm 51:11 “Do not cast (to throw away with force, hurl) me away from Your Presence (Spirit), do not take Your Holy anointing from me”.

Psalm 51:12 “Restore (give back to my former state) to me the joy of Your salvation (give me the joy of loving and knowing You, let me return to my first love) and sustain (to endure, withstand) me with a willing spirit.”

Psalm 46:10 “Cease (to end or stop) striving (make a great effort, trying very hard) and know I am Yehovah God.” I just need to stop what I am doing and KNOW Yehovah is God.

Psalm 63:3 Your loving kindness is better than life (if we did not have Yehovah’s loving kindness, we would not have life.)

The only way Yehovah will lift His spirit is the following scripture. Deuteronomy 4:25: Act corruptly (say you are a child of God but do everything against Him and His instructions), make idols in form of everything and do what is evil in sight of Yehovah God so as to provoke (to make mad or anger). You have just done what it takes to have Yehovah lift his mercy fromyour life.

Here are some more scriptures to look at and take to heart. Deuteronomy 4:29, 31, 39 and 40. All of these promises are given to the children of Yehovah, who strive to love and keep His commandments (instructions).

Heed this warning, if you do not follow Yehovah’s law (Torah) and stay on the road you are traveling, you will see Deuteronomy 4:25 first hand.

In closing, this is my prayer: That I will find favor in Yehovah’s sight and be able to endure to the end so I can walk into His throne room and in humble adoration boy and tell him, Thank You !!!
