Segullah Studios Podcast

Last week I talked about unlocking a doorway by mixing your faith with truth to enter into true rest in the moment—the now. In today’s episode, I'm going to come back to Hebrews 4 and discuss how Yeshua partners with us to help successfully access and enter into the Father rests. As well as, I talk about, the interchange between the Father’s immutable judgments and time, and the grace and mercy to empower us to live in the Now.

For several years now, Father's been walking with me as I learn and discover what it means to live in the now—how to live in the moment within the structure of time and space. Humanity so focused on time and it's influence on the culture around us.

Everything we do and think is about preparing for the future, and trying not to repeat the regrets of the past, but we've become so bound by the timeline—caught up by it's urgency. Are you living so much in the future that you're missing out on the Now, the Shabbat Shalom, the place of the true rest?

In this first part of the Living In The Now series, I begin to crack open the gateway that reveals how we can access the Shabbat Shalom, and enter the true rest through living in the Now.

Thanks for reading Segullah Studios! This post is public so feel free to share it.

The tiresome concept of time as an unwound never-ending, non-repeating line has always been a construct of the western culture. And it has left us in want ever since; want for rest, for truly arriving at a conclusion. Keeping us forever frustrated, always having more to do. But the Ancients had different perspective on time, that I think can help us re-think the was we behold and engage with time today.

In my journey of relationship with the Godhead over the past few years, one of the subjects that often comes up in our conversations is time. Time is a funny thing. It's so woven in the fabric of our consciousness that we've become focused—most of the time unaware that we're obsessed with it. It rules our days, our conversations, our decisions, our lives. And yet we really don't understand its affect upon us—how it governs us.

In one of my interactions with Hashilush Hokodesh, I was given another perspective on time and how, as Sons of God, we should view it and engaging with it. And I'd like to share it with you.

Today’s post is little more mystical. A little more vulnerable. I want to share with you an example of the kinds of encounters I have with the Father, Son, and Spirit. Although I don’t often share these intimate connections with the Godhead with others, they do play a very important part in what I produce with Segullah Studios. My hope, in doing so, is that it will spark an interest and inspires you to know and experience the Father, Son, and Spirit in a way that, perhaps, you’ve never thought was possible.

Blessings & Shalom.

We can't avoid suffering. We exist in suffering. The Mankind 1.0 operating system is built upon suffering. You can't get away from it. The idea of avoiding suffering is a fallacy. You live with suffering in your own skin, right now. It's unavoidable because it's inherent to the old system.

But…

The great news is that you’ve been invited into a relationship with Yeshua to experience His version of real life according to the programming of the new system—according the Father's original intent of relationship with mankind.

Is there any religion that has a character like Yeshua? One based upon having a personal and intimate relationship with God, You know, where you can actually have a one-on-one engagements, daily conversations?

What's more be invited to become like Him? To be included into the household of that same divinity? To participate in their incorruptible nature? To be transformed into their likeness and become members of the divine family, and household of God?

Perhaps this too good to be true for many. Perhaps, Yeshua's words were for only a special few. Perhaps he was only referred to the Twelve Disciples, as His brothers.

Or was he?

The Father wasn’t trying to save the old man. He sent Christ to replace him. Remake him. The new man, in the prototype of Christ, gives us the blueprint to follow, so that the old man, mankind 1.0, can upgrade to mankind 2.0. Today we have a choice of what version are we going to live in.

Psalms 139:14 declares that that we are fearfully and wonderfully made. The Hebrew word for "wonderfully made" is palah which means to distinguish, literally or figuratively—put a difference, show marvelous, separate, set apart, or “make wonderfully”. Each of us manifests a distinct perfection. What does perfection look like to your world, your realm, your being?

The power of the tongue has a profound impact on our lives, framing our reality with every word we speak, just like building materials construct a house. Practicing gratitude by speaking words of thanks can create a consistent mental reflection, keeping negative thoughts at bay and promoting an attitude of thankfulness. The transformative effects of positive thinking, reinforced by the power of the tongue, can change one's life from day to day, helping to establish a healthy heart and mind.
