PRAYER REQUEST

Please keep Helen and me in your prayers. We have sold our home and are packing and moving into a new place a few miles from where we are now. They have moved the closing date up so we are really busy. We will do our best to get the newsletter out daily until closing day. After that we may run behind on our daily emailing until we get our office set up at the new place.

Thanks for understanding

Russell Sanders

YHWH

The King James version uses LORD wherever the name of God appears as the Hebrew letters that transliterated into English as YHWH, or alternatively as JHVH (the same thing). Hebrew has no vowels, so we add vowels so we can speak it in English. The vowels are arbitrarily chosen, so his name comes out in English as Yahweh or as Jehovah. Both are the same name. The name embodies the fullness of the Godhead, Father, Son, and Spirit.

Let us break down the name Yahweh a little further. “Yah” is the name of the Father. “Yeshua” or “Yahshua” is the name of the Son. The Holy Spirit has no known distinct name but is the “spirit of the Father.” While “Yah” is Father’s distinct name, “Yahweh” is the name of all three and written in the KJV as LORD (all capitals). When written as Lord or God it is a different form of name with a somewhat different meaning.

The form written as “God” often is the Hebrew word “Elohim” which also embodies the full trinity in its action and affect. While Yahweh is frequently used in conjunction with Yeshua, Elohim is not used in that way. Elohim is the plural Godhead while El is the Father only. 

The English word “salvation” in the Old Testament is “Yeshua” in Hebrew. Let me give you some scriptures which show that Yeshua (Jesus) is part of and comes from Yahweh. I will use Yahweh where LORD appears and Yeshua where salvation appears:

·        Jonah 2:9; “Yeshua is of Yahweh.”

·        Isaiah 12:2; “Behold, El is my Yeshua…Yahweh Jehovah…is become my Yeshua.”

This shows Yeshua (Jesus) in both forms of God’s name, Elohim, and Yahweh, all in a single verse.

·        Psalm 88:1; “O Jehovah Elohim of my Yeshua…” This uses both godhead names, Jehovah (Yahweh) and Elohim together to show it is the same name for God the Trinity and has Yeshuah attached to both forms of the name.

A person who might think that Jesus originated with the Virgin Mary is ignorant of his name identified repeatedly in the Old Testament beginning with Elohim in Genesis 1:1 before the world was formed.

Jesus’ name is distinctly seen in three Hebrew forms translated in “salvation” in English. The three Hebrew forms are: [1] Yeshua [2] Yesha [3] Teshua. Yeshua occurs 64 times. Yesha occurs 31 times. Teshua occurs 17 times. That is 112 times his name is found. 

Oh, I overlooked “Yasha” which is another 3 times. John 1:1-5 also affirms that Jesus existed before the world was formed. It was by Yeshua’s spoken word that caused the world to be formed and all the life in it. The Father (El or Yah) designed it, the Son (Yeshua, Word) spoke it, and the Spirit brought it together. It took the fullness of the trinity (Yahweh, Elohim) to create everything that was created.

GOD’S PLAN NOT OURS

It is very easy to get into a position of comfort. Perhaps you have worked all of your life and retirement has come. Perhaps you have your home paid for and now you have plans to travel or maybe get involved more in your community. This is all well and good if it is God’s plan, but if it isn’t, then things will not go well.

I do not see anywhere in the scripture where anyone “retired.” They worked for the Lord as individuals or in their local church until God called them home. None of the disciples retired. They served God knowing that their service for the Savior would be rewarded when they “went to be” with Jesus in heaven.

That leads to Russell and me.  When we closed our thrift shop and church in a local strip mall, we didn’t know what exactly was next. We brought our church into our home for two months, but we both felt it was time to release it. It didn’t mean that we weren’t pastors anymore, but that it was time to give it up for a season. We visited many local churches for about five months then God called me back to preach on Sunday mornings via the internet.

About the same time God said to put out this newsletter daily to teach and equip the saints. Since studying and preaching the word of God is my passion, I was just fine with that. We had our first ministry school going for almost two years, so we continued with that also with several students. Some came to the school in person and others came by the internet.

 Then two months later God told me to start teaching 7 days a week. At first, I said, “you said what?” I had no idea that COVID19 would bring lockdown to the world and our teaching would bring encouragement to many that listened and watched over the internet. This was all God’s plan. Not our plan. We are thankful for going with God because many lives have been touched.

The Apostle Paul thought he was doing God a favor by raising havoc to the early Church, but when he encountered God, his path went 180° in the other direction. It was God’s plan, not his but he was obedient to the call.

What about you? Are you going with God’s plan even if you are over 60? What about God’s plan when you are young? One of the worst things that happened was when Lucifer said, “I will” instead of saying “thy will.” You will never be too old to have a plan when God is in your life my friends. Be willing and obedient and you will live a life with no regrets. 

As for Russell and me, we will continue doing what we are doing as long as God is in it. We may miss a few issues because of a move from our home of 12 years, because there will be a lot of work to do. It wasn’t our plan to move at the beginning of 2021, but God arranged everything that is happening, and we know that it is His plan. We are making His plan our plan as I write this. I pray that you do the same. His plan is always the best plan.

PROPHETIC EXHORTATION

You cannot steal second base; While keeping one foot on first base; You simply can’t do this; And still fully embrace and walk into what God has for you. It’s just not going to happen that way for you or for anyone else. You should always keep in mind that you FIRST must be in the correct POSITION...So that you’ll be able to totally turn loose of all the things that your hands and your heart are still so full of. Y’all be blessed and have a great day.
