Reach For the Stars

Do you know why your always in a battle? Do you know you are likened to a shining star? Metaphortically speaking of course. Ever wonder why Satan always goes after you, seeking to pull you down?

Have you ever wondered why since you came to the faith it seems like you're a Target even when you're doing right? Why is it when you Reach for the Sky something always seems to snap you back down. You may ask yourself 'who' are likened to the stars?

You are the light and salt of the earth, and so You are A Shining Star! Mind you this is my spiritual reflection and revelation, but There are three kinds of stars... We are the Sons of Elohim. So therefore the ones who are growing in spiritual maturity will undergo much tribulation from Satan, in his attempt to distract and pull down every good thing. But we should be careful before we give too much credit to Satan because we understand that everything happens first with permission from Father. In the example that we are misguided or rebellious to his commands, Father will allow us to undergo much turbulence in order to gain our attention and most importantly our Obedience. We see the hedge was not removed from Job until Father gave Satan 'Permission' first. Messiah is described as the bright morning star rev 22:16; 2 peter 1:19, and rev 2:28, likewise we are patterned after Him to be bright morning stars. We are to overcome with Messiah.. become like him [ie.] The New creature 2 Corinthians 5:17. Those of us who perservere 'to the end' will overcome. It is therefore Satans agenda to PULL down the Stars. You are very important to Father. Chosen. That makes you a hefty target. Not to worry though, when we remain in Father we are protected and in trials we will be joyful and stand the test! We will be vigilant and strengthened! The second kind of star... is the firstborn of every family. This was a revelation that came from Father for me personally. Let me share this short testimony to further explain. I was the first born of my parents. I was the only child of my parents, as they seperated at my tender age of 13 months. About the time I was still newborn to 3 months old.. I came down with a mystery illness. My parents rushed me to a baby emergency hospital to find the answer to this mystery. As it turns out I had a very rare disease that was usually only prevalent in first-born males. I had to go into emergency surgery to be healed. The fact that out of all my siblings by another Mother& Father; were never dedicated to Messiah at birth as this was done by my Dads insistence, and the fact that this rare disease was only caused in first-born males was spiritual in nature I believe. This revelation came to me while reading scripture and fasting. I was given to Father in Heaven.. well as firstfruit and dedicated to him for my life. Even to this Day if you were to hear my Dad speak about this 'dedication' to Messiah.. you will hear his overwhelming joy and believe me when I tell you, he can recall all of the details even to this day with Perfect Memory. It is because it was divine intervention and Father predestines each of his babies, his 'firstfruits' as we read here in Romans 8: For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren It is found in genesis 49:3 Rueban thou art my firstborn, my might, and the beginning of my strength, the excellency of dignity, and the excellency of power. In scripture we read time and time again how Satan comes after they're first born and these ones always have a very challenging time following Elohim. Also in the Old Testament we read.. Then YHWH spoke to Moses, saying, “Consecrate to me all the firstborn, whatever opens the womb among the children of Israel, both of man and beast; it is Mine.” (Exodus 13:1-2) You shall not delay to offer the first of your ripe produce and your juices. The firstborn of your sons you shall give to Me. (Exodus 22:29) All that open the womb are Mine, and every male firstborn among your livestock, whether ox or sheep. But the firstborn of a donkey you shall redeem with a lamb. And if you will not redeem him, then you shall break his neck. All the firstborn of your sons you shall redeem. (Exodus 34:19-20)

The third kind of star are those whom Elohim has chosen to attain a place of prominence in their families. Not just Kings and queens, rulers and leaders, prophets or disciples but think about this.. Are you the first person or the only person who is truly in Salvation at this time? Wow! Do you see how that makes you extremely important? It very well may be <YOU> are the only one who is standing in the Gap and praying and repenting and fasting and seeking not on just your own behalf but the behalf of your entire family for Generations going back! When you become important in your family through the Elohim’s grace, you become a star of that family. You are the Light! You have the fruit of the spirit and the gifts that Father bestowed on you for the greater glory of his kingdom assignments. Therefore, Satan will be after you; he is always after the stars to destroy. Likewise, as I said before nothing can be done without father's permission first. Knowing this will help us when we are discerning. If it is Father, we will always be left searching ourselves, which we are doing always anyway. It may be that in order for Father to get us conditioned for the war ahead, when I say War I'm not just talking about the spiritual war but also the greater Exodus .. we all are moving into the 'Promised Land' by way of spiritually, as we seek to be written in the lambs book of life, therefore their is a great deal of teaching, and strengthening, and guiding, and training involved for us to get there. Father has to allow Satan some degree of permission in the way that he chastises us sometimes. We never mean to sin, or mess up, but once we recognize that we are shining stars, and very valuable to Father, we can come to understand the spiritual matters of why we go through what we do. We do not fear the evil one, because Our Father controls him.. so he will attempt to pull down every shining star.. and Father will keep showing each of us how to remain strong and vigilant. Isnt it a glorious revelation to know who you are? HalleluYAH! So Reach for the Stars in obtaining the character and nature of our King of Kings Messiah!
