This email was sent to us by Dana, who does the
transcriptions for the M.H.I.'s audios.  We are including it
for your consideration because the topic of today's message
is Problem Resolution - Man vs Yahweh Part TWO. Dana writes:


I am writing this in encouragement to brothers and sisters
in this walk:

I listened to the teleconference(s) at least twice and I
listen for 2 reasons:  one is purely selfish in that the
message and participants bless me immensely.  The other
reason is twofold, to keep me accountable and to sharpen
myself.  By this I mean that when I hear something that I do
not understand or agree with, they force me to read it,
research it, find it for myself.  Exactly where He wants me.

The reason why as His child, I need to be uncomfortable,
squirming, insulted or what have you, is due to the constant
perfecting of the new man.    I often feel conviction and
most of the times that I do, is because I have chosen to be
ignorant or plain lazy.  Through conviction is how He makes
me to learn.  (No pain, no gain is so key in this walk for
me).

When I hear something spoken by Elijah or someone else that
is hard or not exactly something I want to hear, it is
because something is not correct.  Something I have learned
in my walk is that Yahweh is prophetic and he wants His own
to be aware in order to be prepared.  Our conviction should
signal that there is something not right, therefore only
through our Saviour can the proper change, comfort and
healing be fulfilled.  Most times, the problem lies with me
and not so much what is being said to me.

My responsibility is to be a doer of the Word, see that my
yes means yes and my no means no.

My prayer goes out to those who, in indignation get offended
and just walk away.  I see that as I was, apathetic.  Our
example absolutely needs to be of our Master, who did not
live to please any person on earth, only to please His
Heavenly Father in all that He did and said.  That is what I
see being done here in the work of M.H.I.

Continue to seek His kingdom and His righteousness.

in Him
Dana

Consider this one telling fact: Seventy percent of children
in state reform institutions grew up in single-parent homes.
An article from Newsweek magazine from a number of years
ago, entitled, "Breaking the Divorce Cycle," details how the
children of broken marriages carry deep wounds well into
their adult lives.

The article goes on to say: "Divorce remains a central issue
throughout their lives, no matter how well-adjusted they may
seem to be. A hole in the heart is universal; there is a
sense of having missed out on something that is a
birthright, the right to grow up in a house with two
parents. Compared with people who have grown up in intact
families, adult children of divorce are more likely to have
troubled relationships and broken marriages. A desire for
stability sends some down the aisle at to young an age, and
they end up in divorce court not long afterward."

So you see, the cycle can continue from generation to
generation.

Yet, in spite of these alarming statistics, the divorce rate
rose 700 percent in the 20th century and hasn't begun to top
out in century 21. There is now one divorce for every 1.8
marriages. Over a million children a year are involved in
divorce cases. In Tampa, Fla., you can now get a divorce
without leaving your car - drive thru divorces.

Problem Resolution - Man vs Yahweh Part TWO
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

We have an excellent recorded teaching which was captured
during one of our weekly teleconferences which everyone who
names the Name of Messiah should listen to and apply in their
life. http://marriagehealing.org/radio/?page_id=12
It is the audio (and greatly expanded) teaching of this two
part message.

In our previous message Part ONE (found at:
http://tinyurl.com/295l4g) we laid the foundation for
this message of problem resolution, Man vs Yahweh.
One of the first and most important reasons for Yahweh's
process of problem resolution is to create reconciliation.
However, that end is determined by the response of the
parties involved and when one of the parties fails to be
obedient to Yahweh's command then He has a process for
dealing with such.  We will look at that and more today.

Let's look first at one of the TWO witnesses (old & new
Testaments) going back to some passages which speak of
an important principle concerning how Yahweh has commanded
that the unclean (sin) be dealt with.

  And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying, Speak unto Aaron,
  and unto his sons, and unto all the children of Israel, and
  say unto them; This is the thing which Yahweh hath
  commanded, saying, What man soever there be of the house of
  Israel, that killeth an ox, or lamb, or goat, in the camp,
  or that killeth it out of the camp, And bringeth it not
  unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, to
  offer an offering unto Yahweh before the tabernacle of
  Yahweh; blood shall be imputed unto that man; he hath
  shed blood; and THAT MAN SHALL BE CUT OFF FROM AMONG HIS
  PEOPLE: Lev 17:1-4  (emphasis mine)

Now, the first thing someone may be tempted to do is say
"wait a minute, this passage has nothing to do with the
matter of problem resolution or reconciliation... OUT OF
CONTEXT!"  That seems to be so on the surface but let's
look more closely...

What the Heavenly Father is demonstrating here is His
perspective on the matter of acceptable and unacceptable
sacrifices and how He intends for those who IGNORE His
perspective to be dealt with.  The person who offers
unacceptable sacrifices to Yahweh is to "be cut off from
among his people."  Now let's tie that principle together
with a passage we find in the book of Matthew:

  Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there
  rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; Leave
  there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be
  reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy
  gift. Mat 5:23-24

You see, Yahweh changes not (Mal 3:6).  He does not want
the sacrifice of praise, worship or thanksgiving when you
and your brother have "ought."  He commands that the process
of problem resolution be started and completed BEFORE any
sacrifice is made.  To do otherwise would be rebellion,
(witchcraft) and place one in the position of dis-fellowship
from Yahweh and from His people.

  Will ye steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear
  falsely, and burn incense unto Baal, and walk after other
  gods whom ye know not; 10 And come and stand before me in
  this house, which is called by my name, and say, We are
  delivered to do all these abominations? Is this house,
  which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your
  eyes? Behold, even I have seen it, saith the LORD. But go
  ye now unto my place which was in Shiloh, where I set my
  name at the first, and see what I did to it for the
  wickedness of my people Israel. And now, because ye have
  done all these works, saith the LORD, and I spake unto you,
  rising up early and speaking, but ye heard not; and I
  called you, but ye answered not; Therefore will I do unto
  this house, which is called by my name, wherein ye trust,
  and unto the place which I gave to you and to your fathers,
  as I have done to Shiloh. And I will cast you out of my
  sight, as I have cast out all your brethren, even the whole
  seed of Ephraim. THEREFORE PRAY NOT THOU FOR THIS PEOPLE,
  NEITHER LIFT UP CRY NOR PRAYER FOR THEM, NEITHER MAKE
  INTERCESSION TO ME: FOR I WILL NOT HEAR THEE. Jer 7:9-16
							(emphasis mine)

See Lev 14:33-57.  Yahweh does not make ANY ALLOWANCE for
the unclean among His people or His "house."  We are called
the "house of Yahweh" (the Body of Messiah)  Where must
Judgement FIRST begin?...  at the "house of Yahweh."  We
are also referred to as the "living stones" which make up
the "house of Yahweh."  hmmm...

Now let's go back to the book of Matthew:

  And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it
  from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy
  members should perish, and not that thy whole body should
  be cast into hell. And if thy right hand offend thee, cut
  it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for
  thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that
  thy whole body should be cast into hell. Mat 5:29-30

Here we see the Living Word is teaching us that those
members of the body which offend (cause strife, division,
hatred, envy, gossip, slander and so on..) WITHOUT
repentance (meaning to be sorrowful, seek and give
forgiveness and CHANGE!!!) are to be CUT OFF from the body.
Yahweh does not want the whole body to be destroyed, like a
cancer, or leprosy... by the unclean member.  Our highest
and first priority is to make every effort to bring about
reconciliation and this is outlined clearly in the passages
in Mat 18:15-18 and 1Cor 6:1-11.  (More on these later)  But
in those cases where the offender is UNWILLING to repent;
they are to be sent outside the camp (dis-fellowshipped)
unless and until they truly repent and humble themselves.
There is no other solution offered by the Father. (see Num
5:3 and Num 15:22-40  esp. v30-31) See also Num 12 and how
Yahweh Himself dealt with Miriam for a sobering view of
His perspective on this matter.

In the book of 1Cor we see that the Apostle Paul has learned
of some schism in the body among the house of Yahweh in
Corinth and writes to the Corinthians... not a NEW teaching or
guideline for how to deal with such things but an OLD teaching:
(Read chapter 5 in entirety)  We find Paul JUDGING... <gasp>
this individual's works and binding it in heaven.  He does
not mince words and seems to be unwavered in his writing by
the potential backlash of Sunday Christians who will wag their
finger at him for "judging" (heaven forbid!)

This is how he concludes the matter:

  But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any
  man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous,
  or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an
  extortioner; with such an one no not to eat. For what have
  I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye
  judge them that are within? But them that are without Yahweh
  judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that
  wicked person.  1Co 5:11-13

You mean.... they were to CUT OFF that individual who refused
to repent and be obedient to Yahweh's commands???   YES!!

Reconciliation is the heartcry of the Father and the Son and
our Elohim says it thus:  "Behold, how good and how pleasant
it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!" Psa 133:1

Nevertheless, we have a command and clear instructions for
what to do once the process has been exhausted and the offending
party refuses to repent and be obedient.  There can be no other
outcome in such case.  The offender is to be cut off from among
the body, cast out of the camp and to be considered ANATHEMA...
unless and until they should repent.

Now, what exactly is the process we follow in between times?
Listen to the audio teaching above and you will learn how our
Heavenly Father wants us to deal with such things...

May His will be done
