SHEMA: Hearing the Second Call

As we started DAY 1, I shared the invitation with the ministry groups, yet I cannot shake the feeling that this second round is not being taken seriously by some.

As I was speaking with Abba YAHUAH, I opened my Bible while praying, and it fell open to the book of Yonah. What immediately stood out to me was the phrase “the second time” in Yonah 3:1.

This is also our second round of the 777 journey.

I know there are ministry members who did not truly hear Father’s first call to repentance regarding these strongholds, just as Yonah did not listen the first time.

We also read that Yonah spent three days in the belly of the great fish and we all know this prophetically points to YAHUSHUA, who was also in the heart of the earth for three days before His resurrection. Yet, in our own journey through the 777 and the seven nations of Deuteronomy 7, Father has likewise instructed us to walk through this process three times.

As I continued speaking with Abba, I found myself saying: “So many people hear the warnings. So many people are giving the warnings. Yet so few are truly hearing.“

As we journey through the fifth biblical month, the month of SHEMA — Hear and Obey, Father is graciously giving us three opportunities to deal with these strongholds.

Sadly, many will find excuses. Some will say they do not have time. Others will say their schedules are too busy to give attention to this important call that is on Father’s heart. But we must understand that this is Father’s heart for us.

He desires us to overcome these strongholds because every area we overcome becomes an area in which He entrusts us with greater authority. That is why He places such importance on repentance.

He calls us to Proclaim, to Prepare, and then He is able to Position us according to His Master Plan.This is therefore a call of urgency.

Many believers will fall away in the days ahead because the very strongholds they refused to confront will ultimately become the strongholds that overcome them. They will prevent them from entering their Promised Land and from walking in the victory and authority that YAHUAH has prepared for His people.

Let us not be like Yonah, who tried to flee from Abba in disobedience, only to find himself in the depths of the sea and in the belly of the great fish for three days.

Instead, let us SHEMA.

Let us hear.

Let us obey.

And let us deal with these strongholds before they destroy what Father longs to establish within us.

“And YAHUAH your Aluah shall drive out those nations before you little by little…” (Deuteronomy 7:22)

May we not ignore His call the first time… or even the second time… when in His mercy He is still calling us to Himself.

Be strong and courageous!
