Have you crossed over to YHVH’s side, or are you still a Balaam?

Numbers 22:10ff, Crossing over. Carnal men want to be like YHVH’s saints, to be the recipients of the blessings of Israel, and to be numbered among YHVH’s chosen, but few want to walk the walk required to receive these blessings and privileges. Many will “court YHVH” by getting as close to him as possible without actually crossing over that spiritual river that divides the land of Israel from the rest of the world. Those who cross over become an Ivrit or a Hebrew, which means “to cross over.”

Have you decided to cross over?

Have you decided to cross over?

Crossing over means surrendering one’s life totally to the Elohim of the Hebrews who is YHVH. The sacrifice of doing so is too great for most people to pay. To leave spiritual Babylon and to cross over the Jordan River to YHVH’s side and come into the land of Israel as a spiritual Hebrew means that the fame and fortune that this world has to offer must be laid aside and one must become a servant-slave of YHVH.

Balaam couldn’t cross over all the way. He still preferred the riches and fame Babylon had to offer. He was willful, carnal and greedy (Jude 11). Many people in the mainstream church are like Balaam.

How serious are you about serving YHVH? The Scriptures say of the end-times saints that they loved not their lives unto death (Rev 12:11). Paul declares that followers of Yeshua must become “living sacrifices” in service of YHVH (Rom 12:1). Yeshua gave his very life for you. Are you holding back some of your life for him? Do the cares of this world, the desire for pleasures, material goods, money, entertainments or acclaim still have a grip on your heart? Are they preventing you from moving into your spiritual calling and destiny—to truly walk by faith?

  1. Natan, I thought i posted a comment here a few hours ago, but I don’t see it now. I probably omitted clicking the “Post Comment” button. However I don’t see your customary tag line at the bottom: “posted by Natan Lawrence and Leave a reply.” Would that have created a problem for leaving a reply? Thanks.

    Essentially my missing post was a commendation to youor this teaching and for several others in the past I to which I never got around to replying. I especially liked your testimony and your post about the Hebrew Roots (or did you call it Messianic?) Movement needing an infusion of Holy Ghost fire (my terminology)!!!
