Ephesians 5:16-17

Joshua 24:15

New International Version (NIV)

“But if serving the ‘Lord’ [YHWH: Name, Word and Works, of Adam to YH’shua’s ‘Elohiym] seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the ‘gods’ [‘elohiym] your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the ‘gods’ [‘elohiym] of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the ‘Lord’ [YHWH: Name, Word and Works, of Adam to YH’shua’s ‘Elohiym].””

Paraphrasing YH’shua, ” ‘Your will’ (YHWH ‘Elohiym’s Word and Works) be done ‘on earth’ (IN US) as it is in heaven.” Also see: (John 14:12).

‘Amein’ [Amen: So be it, Truth, etc..]

2 Corinthians 3:6

“who also made us sufficient as ministers of the new covenant, not of the letter but of the ‘Spirit’ [Ruwach: Expression of a rational being, breath, etc..]; for the letter kills, but the ‘Spirit’ [Ruwach: Expression of a rational being, breath, etc..] gives life.

In the words of he who expressed YHWH’s will to his last breath, for the sake of bringing others to salvation, paraphrasing, “he who believes in me will do the work I do also; and greater things ..” (See: John 14:12).

A calling by Messiah’s doers, that others may replicate salvation’s message, as he did. Be light, as the ministers of Truth before us were; the original followers of the Hebrew Messiah, YH’shua.

Always in YH’shua (YH’Saves)!

Lord: a title that has replaced mention of the most significant name in the Bible, even seen in many prophets (IsaiYH, JeremiYH, etc..) – including our Messiah, YH’shua (YH’saves). But why has YHWH been replaced by Lord?

Did Greek and other pagan deity concepts enter into Israel and into us? If you see the Creator source as a white bearded fatherly figure, a Lord, who sits on a heavenly throne, or the more mystical invisible FORCE energy that is everywhere at once, then a quick study of history will clarify why.

When studied, such deities existed outside of Israel, that the true Prophets warned, “do not do as they do”. The second of ten commandments said this, “though shall not make an image of ‘Elohiym”, a warning to us all that we may not fall to those images in place of the Creator’s truth; paraphrasing the works of the heavenly ‘Elohiym YHWH, “the way, the life, the truth”..

My constant hope? the we all stand with YH, the prophets, and our Messiah, the purveyors of the truth.
