Am I Right-eous?
Matthew 6
Go ahead, ask a friend, “Are you righteous”? Usually they will give you a blank look, and then realize it is a trick question. If I say “yes” then I’m not humble and I am self-righteous. But if I say no, then I need to say why I am not.
MILK of RIGHTeousness: Deuteronomy 6:25 25 It will be righteousness to us, if we take care to do all this commandment before Adonai our God, just as He has commanded us.’
* If you have been taught your whole life that we are "not under the law" (commandments). Then this verse might be like raw milk for you. You may have to start testing Yah's commands one at a time little by little until you can digest them. But this is the milk or basic first steps of righteousness. Obeying His commandments. All of them that apply to you.
Once we've grasped this, follow and love His commandments. Then we are also commanded to obey His voice. What does that look like?
Righteousness is a continuous process. Let me define right-eousness in a new way for you, with some questions.
Am I in the RIGHT place?
Am I doing the RIGHT job? (fleshly AND Kingdom)
Is it the RIGHT time?
Do I have the RIGHT motives?
Do I have the RIGHT "Hesed" Relationships (with my creator and fellow humans)
"Hesed" = Walking with Yah and fellow humans in mercy, kindness, peace, RIGHTness.
Do I have the right S.T.E.P.
* S - Supplies
* T - Tools
* E - Equipment
* P - People
DOING the things in this website will answer these questions, so this page will be teaching the concept of RIGHTeousness.
If I can answer “Yes” to the above 6 questions with peace and confidence, then I also know that the answer to these questions could change any minute, and that it is a constant pursuit to be in RIGHTness with Yah with these questions.
Let’s first ask these questions about Yeshua, knowing He is RIGHTeousness in the flesh.
Was Yeshua in the right place?
* Matthew 15: 24 He answered, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel.”
Was Yeshua doing the right job?
* Luke 1: 32 He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, 33 and He will reign over Jacob’s descendants forever; his kingdom will never end.”
Was Yeshua doing His job at the right time?
* Matthew 26:39....... “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.”.......42…… “My Father, if it is not possible for this cup to be taken away unless I drink it, may your will be done.”
*Also, the devil offered the earthly kingdom if Yeshua bowed down and worshiped. This earthly kingdom is ours (humans) Yah gave us dominion over this earth, however we gave it to Satan. So Satan has the power to give it to Yeshua, but it wasn't the right time 2000 years ago. Yeshua is coming to take His kingdom at the right time, when Yah gives it to Him.
Did Yeshua have the right S.T.E.P..? 53 Do you think I cannot call on my Father, and he will at once put at my disposal more than twelve legions of angels? 54 But how then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that say it must happen in this way?”
Let me explain: Yeshua is the rightful King (Right Job) of this world. He was sent to claim His kingship starting in Jerusalem and Israel. (Right place). Yeshua had the right S.T.E.P.. (swords, disciples, and legions of angels). However, it wasn't the (right time). He had to be rejected as King of Israel at that time. Yeshua knew His job, where his job in the Kingdom took place, He had the ability to call down legions of angels, but He submitted to His Father’s timing.
How about you? Most people that I watch submit to Yah will end up quitting, changing, or losing their job fairly quickly in their journey. In America, jobs are our idols, (the job / paycheck is what we trust and it defines who we are) So of course Yah will remove our idols first. If you are young, I would include college in this too.
Please read the other site pages about discerning His Holy Spirit, (dreams, visions, knowledge) to see if Yah is changing your career / job. Self reflect now…..Am I willing to put my 2 weeks notice in tomorrow? Close my business next month if I discern that Yah is calling me to do? Your heart in total submission is required first before Yah starts to speak. (more accurately said, total submission is needed for you to be able to hear / discern His voice. (usually).
If you aren’t ready to take a drastic step. Then please put your phone down now. It is better for you to not know, then for you to know that you are supposed to make dramatic changes and then disobey your King and Creator.
John 3: 12 I have spoken to you of earthly things and you do not believe; how then will you believe if I speak of heavenly things? Usually the 1st steps are earthly steps to check your obedience.
Draw 2 columns on a piece of paper.
Label the left side " YHWH's Kingdom"
On the left side write down all the "Right"
things to do in HIs Kingdom. Especially
the ones you are failing at now:
Do not lie
Do not steel
Do not eat pork
Do not celebrate like the pagans: (Christmas / Easter)
Etc. Etc.
On the right side, write down "Things"
Home
Job
Car
Spouse
Etc. Etc.
Here's the point of Matthew 6:33: Stop trying to do Yah's job! Don't even pray or ask about job, clothing, food, home, spouse.....Those "Things" are Yah's job to provide for you if you are truly His child in His Kingdom, those are His responsiblitly.
Your responsibility is to be a good citizen / child in your King's Kingdom. Seek to obey the King in every way shape and form. Start with the "Raw Milk" of obeying His Torah, seek out commandments and verses you currently aren't observing. Do them. Then seek His Voice and do the crazy things that you discern Him telling you. He might start with weird commands to test if you will obey or not.
