Eyes That Refuse to See

“Let no one deceive you…” — 2 Thessalonians 2:3

There’s something heavy about the times we’re living in. It’s not just that deception exists—it’s that so many people don’t even want the truth anymore.

Truth is right in front of them… and they still turn away.

From the beginning, the enemy hasn’t needed force—just distortion. A small twist here, a subtle lie there. And over time, people begin to accept what isn’t real as if it were truth.

But the deeper issue is the heart.

Because the truth calls for something. It calls for repentance. It calls for humility. It calls for surrender to Yahuah. And for many, that cost is too high—so they choose what feels easier instead.

Yahusha warned us plainly: don’t be deceived.

That means deception won’t always look obvious. It can look close to truth. It can sound right. It can even feel right. But if it pulls you away from the Word, it’s not from Him.

We’re watching a world where:
• Lies are praised
• Truth is attacked
• And those who speak it are pushed aside

And still… many refuse to see.

Scripture says there will come a strong delusion—not just confusion, but a chosen blindness. A point where people cling to the lie because they’ve rejected the truth too many times.

So the question isn’t just “What’s true?”
It’s “Do I love the truth enough to follow it… even when it costs me?”

Because this walk was never meant to be comfortable. It’s narrow. It requires discernment. And sometimes it means standing alone.

But Yahuah hasn’t left His people in the dark.

His Word is still truth.
His Spirit still leads.
And those who truly seek Him will not be led astray.

So hold fast. Stay rooted. Test everything.

And don’t let your eyes become like the world—seeing, but refusing to see.

Prayer:
Yahuah, search my heart. Remove anything in me that resists Your truth. Open my eyes fully, not just to see—but to receive. Give me the strength to walk in obedience, no matter the cost. Keep me grounded in Your Word and led by Your Spirit. In Yahusha’s name, amen.

Return and Walk in His Ways

There is a call that has echoed since the beginning—a call not just to believe, but to return.

Repentance is not merely saying “I’m sorry.” It is a turning of the heart, a shifting of direction, a surrender of our will to the will of Yahuah, the Creator of Heaven and Earth. It is the moment we stop walking in our own understanding and begin walking in truth.

“Turn you at My reproof: behold, I will pour out My Spirit unto you…” – Proverbs 1:23

Yahuah does not desire empty words—He desires a contrite heart. A heart that recognizes its need. A heart that says, “Your ways are higher than mine.”

And this is where obedience is born.

⸻

Yahusha: The Way We Follow

Yahusha HaMashiach did not just come to save us—He came to show us how to walk.

He walked in perfect obedience to the Father:
• He submitted His will
• He kept the commandments
• He loved righteousness and hated iniquity

And He said:

“If you love Me, keep My commandments.” – John 14:15

This is the dividing line between words and truth.

To follow Yahusha is not just to speak His Name—it is to walk as He walked.

⸻

Repentance Leads to Life

True repentance brings:
• Cleansing
• Renewal
• Restoration

But more than that—it brings alignment.

When we repent, we come back under the authority of Yahuah. We step out of rebellion and into relationship. We stop resisting His voice and begin to hear Him clearly again.

“Let the wicked forsake his way… and let him return unto Yahuah, and He will have mercy upon him.” – Isaiah 55:7

There is mercy waiting—but it is found in the turning.

⸻

Obedience Is the Path

Obedience is not bondage—it is protection.
It is not legalism—it is love in action.

The world teaches:

“Follow your heart.”

But the Word teaches:

“Follow His commands.”

Because His commands lead to life.

⸻

A Call to Examine the Heart

Take a moment and ask:
• Is there anything I am holding onto that Yahuah has told me to release?
• Am I truly walking in obedience, or just believing in words?
• Have I repented fully—or only partially turned?

Yahuah sees all—and yet He still calls you back.

Not in condemnation… but in love.

⸻

Closing Prayer

Abba Yahuah,
Search my heart and reveal anything in me that is not pleasing to You.
Teach me true repentance—not just in words, but in action.
Help me to walk in obedience as Yahusha walked,
to love what You love and turn from what You hate.
Strengthen me by Your Spirit to follow You fully,
and not look back.

In the Name of Yahusha,
Amein.

The Name Above Every Name

“I AM THAT I AM.” – Exodus 3:14

There is power in a name—especially when that name is revealed by the Creator Himself.

The name Yahuah is understood by many believers as a vocalization of the Tetragrammaton (יהוה), the four Hebrew letters revealed to Moses. In The Bible, this Name is often translated as “LORD” in all caps, but the original Hebrew points to something far deeper—the self-existent, eternal One.

When Yahuah declared, “I AM THAT I AM,” He wasn’t just giving Moses a title—He was revealing His nature:
• The One who was
• The One who is
• The One who is to come

His Name carries His identity—unchanging, sovereign, and set apart.

⸻

The Son Revealed: Yahusha

The name Yahusha is understood to mean “Yahuah saves” or “Yahuah is salvation.”

This aligns with what we see in Scripture:

“You shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.” (Matthew 1:21)

The name commonly rendered as “Jesus” comes through Greek and Latin forms, but the Hebrew root points back to Yahusha—a name that directly reflects the Father’s Name within it.

This is powerful:

The Father’s Name is embedded in the Son.

Yahusha didn’t come to point to Himself apart from Yahuah—He came to reveal Him.

“I have come in My Father’s Name…” (John 5:43)

⸻

Why the Name Matters

This isn’t about language perfection or ritual—it’s about relationship and reverence.

Throughout Scripture, calling on the Name of Yahuah is tied to:
• Deliverance (Joel 2:32)
• Salvation (Romans 10:13)
• Identity (Acts 2:21)

And Yahusha is the fulfillment of that promise—the visible image of the invisible Elohim.

When you call on Him, you’re not calling on a distant concept…
You’re calling on the One who formed you, redeemed you, and knows you by name.

⸻

Ask yourself:
• Do I truly know the One I’m calling on?
• Do I approach His Name with reverence—or casually?
• Am I trusting in Yahusha as the full expression of Yahuah’s salvation?

⸻

Prayer

Yahuah, You are the Great I AM—eternal, holy, and unchanging.
Thank You for revealing Yourself, not hiding from us.

Yahusha, thank You for being the way, the truth, and the life.
You are salvation—not just a concept, but a living reality.

Teach me to walk in truth, to honor Your Name, and to trust You fully in these days.
Set my heart apart for You alone.

Aměn.

"Scripture repeatedly shows that downfall often begins not with open rebellion, but with unchecked desire.

In Genesis, Adam reaches for what was forbidden. In Judges, Samson’s strength collapses through misplaced intimacy. In 2 Samuel 11, David’s glance becomes adultery and violence. Even Solomon, whose wisdom fills 1 Kings, allows desire to redirect his heart.

The pattern is not subtle. Appetite reshapes allegiance.

Yahusha Ha’Mashiach intensifies the warning in Matthew 5:28, teaching that the battle begins in the mind. The issue is not merely behavior, but orientation of the heart.

Lust promises control and satisfaction, yet Scripture presents it as a force that erodes judgment and fractures covenant. It is treated seriously because it strikes at identity, not just impulse.

The urgency remains: what begins internally eventually surfaces externally. Discipline is not repression; it is protection."

Repentance is not saying sorry.
It’s not tears.
It’s not a moment at an altar.
Judas felt remorse.
He still died unchanged.
Repentance is when the behavior dies.
When the habit loses oxygen.
When the sin you used to defend starts to disgust you.
You don’t “struggle” with what you’re still feeding.
You don’t “fall” into what you keep walking toward.
The proof of repentance is not emotion.
It’s direction.
If nothing in your life is moving,
nothing in your heart has turned.
Because when you truly turn to Yahuah,
you inevitably turn away from something else.
And yes, it shows.

Eyes on Yahusha in a Chaotic World

“Set your mind on things above, not on earthly things.” — Colossians 3:2
“You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in You.” — Isaiah 26:3
“Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in Elohim; believe also in Me.” — John 14:1

The world around us is filled with turmoil. Wars, unrest, lies, and fear seem to surround every corner of life. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed, to let anxiety seep in, or to fix our eyes on the chaos instead of the Creator. But as followers of Yahusha, we are called to a higher perspective.

Our hope does not come from political leaders, economic systems, or even people we trust. Our hope comes from Yahusha—the One who calms storms with a word and holds all creation in His hands. When we look to Him, we are reminded that no matter how dark the world seems, His light is unshakable.

Focusing our eyes on Yahusha means daily choosing Him over fear. It means fixing our hearts on His promises rather than the headlines. It means relying on the Prince of Peace to guard our hearts and minds, even when confusion and uncertainty surround us. Peace is not the absence of chaos, but the presence of Yahusha in the midst of it.

Begin each day by consciously turning your gaze to Yahusha. Let Him be the first thought in your mind and the last in your heart.
Memorize Scriptures that remind you of His sovereignty and peace, such as Isaiah 26:3 and John 14:27.
When fear or worry rises, pause and speak to Yahusha, reminding yourself that He is your refuge and strength (Psalm 46:1).

Prayer:
Yahusha, help me to keep my eyes fixed on You. When the world feels chaotic and uncertain, remind me that You are my hope, my peace, and my refuge. Teach me to trust You fully, to let go of fear, and to rest in the calm of Your presence. Guard my heart and mind with Your perfect peace, and help me walk boldly in Your truth each day. Aměn.

Ask yourself today: Where have I been looking for hope? Am I letting fear dictate my heart, or am I truly resting in Yahusha, the Prince of Peace?

If you’re not bearing fruits in keeping with repentance, keeping the commandments, and seeking Yahuah DO NOT worry about the rapture/being hidden/removed from judgement - focus on not hearing “depart from me”

For it is time for judgment to begin at the household of Elohim; and if it begins with us, what will be the outcome for those who do not obey the gospel of Elohim? If the righteous is scarcely saved, what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?
(1 Peter 4:17-18)

Yahusha protects ONE church out of SEVEN from judgement.

Luke says “pray that you be accounted worthy to escape all these things.” Every single person who was removed or hidden from judgement was explicitly mentioned as righteous by Yahuah.
(This applies to me as well, I’m not talking *at* you, I’m trying to wake everyone up)

Everyone who hopes in him purifies himself as he is pure.
(1 John 3:3)

In Ezekiel severe judgement starts in the churches, beginning with the elders because they did not teach holiness, and then extends to the congregations who listened.

In Jeremiah the prophets and priests were both ungodly, Elohim punishes them with complete disaster. Same thing in Hosea and Isaiah.

I do not want to be part of wrath nor do I want any of you, let’s self-check and continue walking after Yahusha.

Give me your thoughts on this:

Scriptures that show why the Messiah’s true Name is Yahusha (יהושע), meaning “Yahuah is Salvation.”

Key Scriptures

1. Matthew 1:21

“And she shall bring forth a son, and you shall call his name Yahusha, for he shall save his people from their sins.”

• The Hebrew Yahusha literally means “Yahuah saves.”
• This matches the angel’s explanation: His very name declares His mission.

2. John 5:43

“I have come in My Father’s Name, and you do not receive me; if another comes in his own name, him you will receive.”

• The Son carries the Name of the Father (Yahuah) within His own: Yahusha.
• “Jesus” doesn’t contain the Father’s name, but Yahusha does.

3. Acts 4:12

“Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is no other name under heaven given among men, by which we must be saved.”

• Salvation is tied to a Name. That Name is not a later Greek/Latin version, but the original Hebrew: Yahusha.

4. Philippians 2:9–11

“Therefore Yahuah highly exalted Him and gave Him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Yahusha every knee should bow…”

• The exalted Name carries the meaning of salvation itself.

5. Joshua / Yehoshua = Yahusha
• The Old Testament figure Joshua is actually Yehoshua (יהושע) or shortened Yahusha.
• Hebrews 4:8 confirms this: the same name is used for Joshua, showing that the Messiah bore the same Hebrew name with prophetic meaning.

The Meaning
• Yahuah (יהוה) = “I AM,” the covenant Name of the Father.
• Yahusha (יהושע) = “Yahuah is Salvation.”
• His Name is both a declaration of who He is and what He came to do.

“Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us.”
Ephesians 3:20

God’s power knows no limits. We often come to Him with prayers shaped by our understanding, our fears, or even our imagination—but His ability goes far beyond what we could ever dream. He is not constrained by our weakness or by the boundaries of this world.

Paul reminds us here that God’s power is already at work within us. Through the Holy Spirit, believers have access to the same power that raised Jesus from the dead. That means we don’t walk through life in our own strength, but in His.

When you face challenges that seem impossible, remember: your prayers do not have to be small, because your God is not small. Trust Him with the desires of your heart, but also leave room for Him to exceed your expectations. Sometimes His answer won’t look like what you asked for, but it will always be greater, wiser, and perfectly aligned with His plan.

Prayer:
Lord, thank You that Your power is at work in me. Help me to trust You with my prayers and believe that You are able to do far more than I can even imagine. Strengthen my faith so I may walk boldly in the assurance of Your limitless love and power. Amen
