Love Letter on Lifestyle

I have given a lot of time to tell you about many ungodly lifestyles believers have emulated on this earth. Such lifestyles create enmity between believers and God (Father YAH) whether they know it or not. James said it right when he said: You have become spiritual adulterers who are having an affair, an unholy relationship with the world. Don’t you know that flirting with the world’s values places you at odds with God? Whoever chooses to be the world’s friend makes himself God’s enemy (Jas 4:4 TPT)! Therefore, I summarize this category with the following:

On Ambition: You will only destroy Father YAH’s calling on your life and walk out on it like we saw King Solomon do while chasing ambition. All ambitions are selfish! James says: But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast and be false to the truth. This is not the wisdom that comes down from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic. For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every vile practice. But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere. And a harvest of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace (Jas 3:14-18 ESV).

On Talents: Never bury your talent by joining the world. You will be trying to bear fruit without Jesus when you do. Remember Jesus’ words: “I am a true sprouting vine, and the farmer who tends the vine is my Father. He cares for the branches connected to me by lifting and propping up the fruitless branches and pruning every fruitful branch to yield a greater harvest. The words I have spoken over you have already cleansed you. So you must remain in life-union with me, for I remain in life-union with you. For as a branch severed from the vine will not bear fruit, so your life will be fruitless unless you live your life intimately joined to mine. “I am the sprouting vine and you’re my branches. As you live in union with me as your source, fruitfulness will stream from within you—but when you live separated from me you are powerless. If a person is separated from me, he or she is discarded; such branches are gathered up and thrown into the fire to be burned. But if you live in life-union with me and if my words live powerfully within you—then you can ask whatever you desire and it will be done. When your lives bear abundant fruit, you demonstrate that you are my mature disciples who glorify my Father! “I love each of you with the same love that the Father loves me. You must continually let my love nourish your hearts. If you keep my commands, you will live in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commands, for I continually live nourished and empowered by his love (Jhn 15:1-10 TPT emphasis mine).

On Beauty: Your body is not a costume so do not treat it like one. Your face is not a canvas so stop doing Fine Art on your face. Take Father YAH’s idea of beauty because you are not ugly. Stop buying Satan’s lies.  God looked at everything he had made. And he saw that everything was very good. There was evening, and then there was morning. This was the sixth day (Gen 1:31 ERV). Your value is not in what you have or how you look. Rather, your value is who you are! Who are you to God? You are human! His child! His daughter! His son! His creation!

On Food: Be deliberate about what you eat. Know the source of your food and keep it clean. Keep both your physical and spiritual foods clean just as Father YAH wants you to do so that you can be strong to defeat Satan and his cohorts in all things. This healthy state helps with your prayer life and prayer potency. So, take personal responsibility for your foods! Obey Father YAH and you will live well on this earth. "All you people who are thirsty, come! Here is water for you to drink. Don't worry if you have no money. Come, eat and drink until you are full! You don't need money. The milk and wine are free. Why waste your money on something that is not real food? Why should you work for something that does not really satisfy you? Listen closely to me and you will eat what is good. You will enjoy the food that satisfies your soul (Isa 55:1-2 ERV).

Jesus answered him, "The Scriptures say, 'It is not just bread that keeps people alive. Their lives depend on what God says (Mat 4:4 ERV).'"

Events & Celebrations: I have given you many examples of how godless many Church events or even believers’ events are. Stop being a prostitute by trying to emulate the world and pleasing everyone. You can have only one master. Remember that Jesus said: You cannot be the slave of two masters! You will like one more than the other or be more loyal to one than the other. You cannot serve both God and money (Mat 6:24 CEV).

Vices: I spent time teaching about the purpose of vices in making humans a mass produced group. I also spoke of the destructive ways of vices and how to come out of it. I can simply say here that Apostle John said it right when He said: Loving God means doing what he tells us to do, and really, that isn’t hard at all; for every child of God can obey him, defeating sin and evil pleasure by trusting Christ to help him or her. But who could possibly fight and win this battle except by believing that Jesus is truly the Son of God (1 Jhn 5:3-5 TLB emphasis mine)? You are made for much more than that. You are valuable to God (Father YAH) because He paid the price of Jesus for your soul. There is a great dignity Jesus bought for you with His blood to make you a kingdom and priest for God (Father YAH). And they all sang a new song to the Lamb: "You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals, because you were killed, and with your blood sacrifice you bought people for God from every tribe, language, race of people, and nation. You made them to be a kingdom and to be priests for our God. And they will rule on the earth (Rev 5:9-10 ERV)." So, come up hither to where Father YAH wants you to be and do not stay in that fallen state! You were never created to be defeated!

            In sum, I say to all of creation: the aforementioned things done Satan’s way will always lead to the separation of the works of Father YAH’s hands from Him. Yielding to Satan and his values is sin and begets more sins so do not abuse yourself or destroy yourself this way. Look, the LORD'S power is enough to save you. He can hear you when you ask him for help. It is your sins that separate you from your God. He turns away from you when he sees them (Isa 59:1-2 ERV). Following the trend will never get you on the narrow path: The gate to destruction is wide, and the road that leads there is easy to follow. A lot of people go through that gate. But the gate to life is very narrow. The road that leads there is so hard to follow that only a few people find it (Mat 7:13-14 CEV). Take the corrections today and repent! Finish strong! You’ve got this!

All the best,
