James Chapter 4
1) What is the cause for which all of the arguments, strife, and fights that constantly arise among you? These things do not originate from those who willfully obey the Most Holy Rational Spirit within them as their guide through the everyday conduct of their lives. Don't you perceive that they rise up because of the desires and cravings for forbidden things that exist within your bodies? Do you not understand that these cravings, and all of the wisdom that they pressure you to consider and acquiesce to, are what is making violent war within your bodies against the much higher wisdom of the more honorably excellent principles and moral precepts of Yahweh's Truth and Order that the Most Holy, Rational Spirit of Yahushua constantly points you toward?
2) You crave, and you do not have fulfillment. You desire to have, and kill one another; and you cannot obtain what you desire. You physically, violently fight with one another and wage war in order to obtain whatever you desire; and yet you do not have because you do not ask... (See John 14:13; John 15:1 6; John 16:23-26) Asking the Father for all things, as believers of the Way of Yahushua who belong to the Master, are part of Yahushua; and are counted as beloved by the Father, is what should now be normal... prior to Yahushua, and His obedient restoration of the concepts of Yahweh's Order to the mind of man, it appears that the common approach had been to contend in some manner, conquer by whatever means necessary, and take over control of whatever it is that you desire to obtain while still maintaining the ability to live within a society. Be it physical, material, or the recognition of societal status. Prideful superiority and power over one another was a normal goal within the mindset guided by the spirit of the adversary against Yahweh. Violence and strife is obviously still a very prevalent way today. It is the way of the world. Even for many who profess to be serving the Master Yahushua, the way of the world is still a major stronghold that has yet to have been fully demolished within their individual minds; and the fruits of that way are clearly seen and understood...
*** The question is begged here, of just what is desired so much that contentions, hatred, jealousy, envy, physical violence and killing one another is the norm; and yet still is not obtained by the seeker?
3) You ask, so as to receive from Yahweh, but you do not receive what you ask for from the Father, because you ask improperly. The Spirit of the Father knows that you are asking so that you can expend what you ask for on the satisfaction of the cravings and desires that come from your bodies.
4) Adulterers and adulteresses!... 3428 moichalis {moy-khal-is'} - Unfaithful men and women!... Unfaithful men and women of Israel!... Do you not know that friendship... 5373 philia {fil-ee-ah'}... with the order of things that does not truly know Yahweh, is hatred toward Yahweh?... No Grey Area Here!... Whoever, for this reason, would be a friend... 584 philos {fee-los'} - would be someone who desires to be friendly toward... Whoever is someone whose intentions are to always be well acquainted with, and whose desires are to associate him/herself like a companion, in a closely familiar, intimate, and informal manner with... this order of things is the enemy of Yahweh.
1 John 2:15 15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world, the desires and cravings of the flesh, and the desires and cravings to obtain what is perceived by the eyes, and the pride that comes from having and obtaining through out the course of someones life, is not from the Father, but is, instead, from the world that does not recognize or obey Yahweh. 17 And the world passes away, and so do the forbidden desires of it; but he who does the will of Yahweh remains for ever.
5) Do you suppose that what has been written of through the inspiration of the Spirit of Yahweh has been written for no reason, which says: The spirit that dwells within us lusts for envy?... The spirit that lives within us as part of mankind, harbors within the depths of the hearts and minds of men/women, desires and cravings for recognition that are forbidden in Yahweh's Order. It is a haughty, prideful spirit. A well fortified stronghold. It stems from the forefather of all false accusations. The end result is a sense of discontentment. A jealous, resentful envy that is always against those who seem to us to possess these things if they are not realized within ourselves. We want to be envied for who we are and what we possess in our individual capacity and as members of whatever associations that we are a part of. We ultimately desire to be superior and sovereign in our pursuits and accomplishments, however great or small they may be, with the appropriate envious recognition of others who do not have what we have proven to be capable of; and we will take whatever steps to acquire, subtly or overtly, such recognition on a continual, consistent basis... It is this spiritual stronghold, which houses other strongholds within itself, that must be torn down, by whatever means necessary, so that Yahweh's Order remains Soveriegn for the believer of the Way of Yahushua...
***After a diligent search of all of what is called the Old Testament, from where Yacob would have been quoting this from, an exact or near quote could not be found which would incorporate all of the words and meanings found in James 4:5. From a collective view of the writings it can be stated that they are full of the meaning of what he is referring to. It is in this sense that we must understand his words... Yacob is truly pointing out the existence of a spirit that guides the hearts and minds of men so that they are not as they ought to be... These words are a reflection of the words which Yahushua spoke to those within the temple after the attempted indictment of the woman captured in the act of adultery...
John Chapter 8...
23) And He said to them: You are from below; I am from above; You are a part of this world... you are a part of this order of things which does not... cannot... recognize Yahweh or His Order...; I am NOT a part of this order.
24) It is for this reason that I said that you will die in your sins... You... you who are of the mindset that is sensual and earthy... you who are full of the wisdom and knowledge of the order of things that makes up mankind... You do not recognize Who or What I am even though I am now in front of you; and it is for this reason that you who are of this logic and rationale, collectively, will never see me... will never see Yah's Salvation... appear in future history; and will die while in violation of Yahwehs' Torah... in rebellion to Yahweh's Order...
25) Then they said to Him: Who ARE You? And Yahushua said to them: I am whatever I had been speaking to you about since the beginning.
26) I have much to say and to judge... I have much to evaluate... I have much to form an opinion of right and wrong about... as the Son of my Father... regarding you: But He who sent me is speaking the truth; and I speak to the world... and I speak to the order of things created by Yahweh that does not recognize Him... and I speak to the order that all mankind is a part of... about those things that I have heard from Him.
27) They did not understand that He spoke to them about the Father.
28) Then Yahushua said to them: When the Son of Man has been exalted... has been lifted up... has been killed by being raised up on a torture stake; and when He has been caused to rise up from the condition of His fleshly body being dead; and when He is finally recognized for Who and What He IS by those whom the Father Has drawn toward Him... it is then that you will know that I exist even though you do not recognize me; and it is then that you will realize that I do nothing from any sense of my own will or purpose; but instead, as my Father has taught me; I speak THESE things.
29) And He who has sent me is in/with/within me: the Father has not left me alone; because I ALWAYS do the things that please Him.
30) As He spoke these words, many believed on Him.
31) Then Yahushua said to those of the ruling religious order of the Jews standing nearby and listening, who believed on... who placed their confidence and trust in... Him: If you continue in MY word... if you continue with the concepts or ideas that I have spoken of... then you are truly my disciples... my students... my followers... my companions...;
32) And you will know the truth, and the truth that you will become aware of will make you free... will give you liberty... will make you free from the dominion... of the order and the disposition of sin... of error... of not being... of not existing... as you ought to be...
33) They answered Him: WE are the seed... 4690 sperma {sper'-mah} - we are the product produced by the seed... we are the offspring... we are the descendants... of Abraham, and we have never been in bondage... 1398 douleuo {dool-yoo'-o} - we have never been deprived of our freedom and reduced to a state of being in bondage...we have never been brought onto a condition of being dominated... we have never been brought under subjection... we have never owed our allegiance... our devotion... our loyalty... to any man: How is it that you say to us: You will be made free?.... set at liberty?...
*** Note: Some of those men standing around and listening while Yahushua taught that group of people , even though they had been raised up thinking, feeling, and taking action in their lives according to what they then knew, had become persuaded within their own individual minds to believe what Yahushua was telling them about Himself; but when He began speaking of them being slaves to a dominion and disposition that they did not perceive themselves to be a part of, they took exception to the concept He was presenting. The spirit of pride came to the forefront... attempting to cause a misdirection... even though the men themselves may not have recognized what was truly taking place...
34) Yahushua answered them: Truly I tell you: Whoever it is that commits sin... whoever it is that lives their life in error... in the attitude and manner that violates torah... whoever resists and refuses to be naturally obedient to the instructions for living life that are of Yahweh and His Order... is the servant... 1401 {doo'-los} - is the slave who owes allegiance to; and is devoted to serving the one whose dominion is that... of sin... 266 hamartia {ham-ar-tee'-ah} - of error... of being mistaken... from the disposition of, or natural inclination toward missing the path of life that is upright and honorable in the eyes of Yahweh... of being in a condition of being unable to partake of the approval of Yahweh because of not being a part of His Order...
35) And the servant... the one who has given himself over to the dominion of being in a state or condition of existence that is in error... does not remain in the house... the household that exists because of the order that the Master of the household desires... forever; but the Son of the Master of the household... whether natural or adopted... always remains.
36) These things being so, if the Son will make you free... if the Son of Yahweh will give you liberty from the dominion of the disposition of sin..., then you will, in fact, truly and in reality, BE FREE.
37) I know that you are the offspring... the genealogical descendants... of Abraham; but you are striving to kill me because my word... the truth of what my words say and teach has no place in you... Even though you are natural descendants of Abraham, you are not a part of the order of things that is of the household that I am a part of; and because I am not a part of your order of things, which you understand as being right, you want to be rid of me because I am upsetting to your order of things; and what I have to say and do while I am among you is not a part of who and what you naturally are...
38) I speak of what I have seen that has come from MY Father; and you do... 4160 poieo {poy-eh'-o} - you produce... you form... you make... you cause or bring about actions... that are according to what you have perceived from YOUR Father.
39) They answered and said to Him: Abraham is our father... Abraham is the one who is our originator; and it is His ideology and spirit that motivates us to do as we do... Yahushua said to them: If you WERE Abraham's children you would do the works of Abraham.
40) But now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth. The True Truth which I have heard from Yahweh. Abraham did not do this.
41) You do the deeds of YOUR father. Then they said to Him: We have not been born because of the act of fornication... we are not illegitimate children who have been born with the spirit that is from the result of fornication with other elohim... our parents were not unfaithful to torah, and we were not raised up in our beliefs from the worship of idols...; We only have one father... we only have one originator whose spirit we are motivated by; and that is..., Yahweh.
42) Yahushua said to them: If Yahweh WERE your father... If Yahweh were your originator; and if His spirit is what causes you to think, feel and decide things..., then you would love ME. You would love me because I was born of and have come from Yahweh. Nor have I come to this time and place in history to be recognized for Who and What I am from the drive of my own will and purpose; but instead, it is He... it is Yahweh... Who has SENT me.
43) Why don't you understand... 1097 ginosko {ghin-oce'-ko} - the words I say? Because you cannot hear... 191 akouo {ak-oo'-o} - you can't perceive the sense of what I am saying... You can't understand what I say because it is impossible for you to comprehend my logic and rationale...
44) You are from your father... you are from your originator... from the one who is the author of your societal structure and who has animated you with the same spirit that he has... who is the devil... 1228 diabolos {dee-ab'-ol-os} - the false accuser..., and the lusts... the longings... the cravings... the deep down inherent desires... of your father you will do. He was a murderer... 443 anthropoktonos {anth-ro-pok-ton'-os} - a mankiller... since the beginning... 746 arche {ar-khay'} - since the origin of killing men began to exist...; and even though he was surrounded by and aware of Yahwehs' Order, he did not cause himself to remain in the Truth... in the Reality... of Yahwehs' Order because there is no truth... no reality... within him. ...He left his first estate... He left his original state or condition... He left the Reality of Yahweh's Order that he was originally a part of... When he speaks a lie... 5579 pseudos {psyoo'-dos} - When he utters a conscious and deliberate falsehood... When he speaks of whatever is not what it seems to be..., he speaks from the depths of what pertains to himself. He does this because he is a liar... 5583 pseustes {psyoos'-tace} - he is one who is false and faithless...; and he is the forefather... the progenitor... the principal beginner... of the same inherent nature and mindset;
45) And you do not believe me because I teach and speak of the truth.
46) Which one of you exposes... brings to light the shame of... sin... the pathway of error... of mistake... of pride... in me?... Who among you can point out and convince me, by argument or proof of some kind, that I have left the pathway of life that is truly honorable and upright; and without rebellion against Yahweh... If you cannot expose rebellion against Yahweh and His Order in me; and I speak the truth, then why do you not believe me?
*** Shouldn't we who profess to know and understand Yahweh and His Salvation; and who claim to be guided by the Most Holy, Rational Spirit of Yahweh be saying the same types of things if the mind of Yahushua is working and living within us???? Do We Dare???
47) He who is from Yahweh understands the words of Yahweh: You, for this reason, do not understand them, because you are not from Yahweh.
Back to Yacob Chapter 4...
6) But, He... Yahweh... gives a greater gift, which supplies joy and pleasure and benefit without such serious consequences; and accordingly, He says through the same inspired writings: Yahweh resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble... Proverbs 3:34 Surely He scorns the scorners: but He gives grace to the lowly... He turns His back on those who are arrogant and turn away from Him; but, He gives favor and loving kindness to those who have a humble attitude within their heart, and who know their place before Him...
7) Subject yourself in obedience for this reason to Yahweh. Willfully set yourself against and oppose the adversary of Yahweh and he will seek safety by running away from you... Why? Because Yahweh will fight for you!...
8) Bring yourself near to Yahweh and He will bring Himself close to you. Make the source from which you gain your help clean and pure, you who are not free from sin... You who are not completely freed from the stronghold of rebellion against Yahweh that is the central core of the thoughts and feelings, and decisions made in everyday life by all mankind who do not have the Spirit of Yahushua dwelling within them...; and purify the center and seat of the spiritual life that you are now leading, you who are double minded and doubting within yourselves concerning the Real and True Truth of Yahweh.
9) Go ahead and feel afflicted and miserable; and mourn, and weep. Let your laughter be turned around and perverted into sorrow. Let your cause or occasion of joy be turned into dejection and gloom... for those causes of joy and laughter are not a part of the Truth and Order that is Yahweh's...
10) Humble yourselves... realize your true place... in the presence of Yahweh and He will exalt you.
11) Do not speak against one another brethren. He who speaks out against his brother, and has a condemning opinion of his brother, speaks out against the law,... against the rules of action which produce a state or condition of existence that is pleasing to Yahweh... and he who speaks out against the law of Yahweh's Order condemns the law; and if you pronounce a sentence of right and wrong on the law of Yahweh's Order, then you are not one who takes action in obedience of the law, but you have placed yourself above the law of Yahweh's Order and have become a judge both of Yahweh and His Order.
12) There is only one lawgiver who is able to rescue anyone from the danger of the destruction to come, and there is only One Who is able to cause this destruction to take place and destroy the rebellious. Who are you to think that you can condemn one another?... Isn't this part of the thinking that comes from a reprobate and perverse mind?...
13) Come now, realize what you say and do, you who say: Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, and stay there for a year, and buy things and sell them again and make a profit.
14) Because you do not know what will happen tomorrow. Realize what the nature of your life is. It is just like a vapor that appears for a short amount of time and then disappears.
15) Instead of that mindset, you should mean to say: If Yahweh will allow it, we will live and do this or that.
16) But now... at this point in time..., you... you who are of the heritage of Israel, and who have come to know and perceive the Way of Yahushua, and who cling to the wrong manner of thinking, and feeling, and deciding things in doubt of the Truth of Yahweh as you wrestle within yourselves... you do not think this way; but instead, you rejoice in your boastings and perceived capabilites; all rejoicing and boasting and self elevation of this type is evil... is not as it should be for those who are "as they ought to be" according to Yahweh...
17) It is for this reason that anyone who knows that he/she is to do that which is good and merciful in accordance with Yahweh's will, and does not take action to do so, to that man/woman such inaction is sin... it is rebellion against what should be according to Yahweh's Order...
