What is The Will of God

By Royal Awakening — 7 years ago

What is the Will of God?

Many teach that the will of God is simply what He wants everyone on earth to do and that it is written in the Bible. While this is partially correct, it is not the full picture. When we study the Scriptures, we see that God is described as both the Righteous Judge of the earth and the Father of His children. A judge enforces the law and executes judgment, while a father leaves an inheritance for his heirs. This means that God’s will is not only His commandments and desires for how we should live but also His legally binding testament, which details the inheritance of His children.

God as the Righteous Judge

A judge enforces laws and ensures that legal wills are executed properly. The Bible confirms that God is the Supreme Judge over the earth:

  • Genesis 18:25 – “Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?”
  • Psalm 75:7 – “But God is the Judge: He puts down one and exalts another.”
  • Isaiah 33:22 – “For the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our lawgiver, the Lord is our king; He will save us.”

As the Supreme Judge, God determines who will receive His inheritance and who will be disqualified.

God as a Father – The One Who Leaves a Will and Testament

A loving father does not depart without leaving an inheritance and clear instructions for his children. The Bible confirms that God is our Father:

  • Deuteronomy 32:6 – “Is He not your Father who created you?”
  • 2 Corinthians 6:18 – “I will be a Father to you, and you shall be My sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.”
  • Romans 8:16-17 – “The Spirit bears witness that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ.”

As our Father, God has written a legally binding will (His covenant) that determines what His children will inherit.

What Is Written in God’s Will?

A. The Inheritance for His Children

God’s testament promises specific blessings to His faithful children:

  • Land – The promised land (Genesis 17:8, Psalm 37:29).
  • Rulership – Authority over the nations (Daniel 7:27, Revelation 5:10).
  • Eternal Life – Immortality in His Kingdom (John 3:16, 1 Corinthians 15:50-52).
  • God’s Presence – A restored relationship with Him (Ezekiel 37:27, Revelation 21:3).

This inheritance is only given to those who meet the conditions set in God’s will.

B. The Legal Terms of the Will

Like any legal document, God’s will has conditions:

  1. Obedience to God’s Law
    • Exodus 19:5 – “If you obey My voice and keep My covenant, you shall be My treasured possession.”
    • Revelation 22:14 – “Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life.”
  2. Endurance to the End
    • Matthew 24:13 – “He who endures to the end shall be saved.”
    • Revelation 2:26 – “He who overcomes and keeps My works until the end, I will give power over the nations.”

Not everyone will inherit the promises—only those who obey the terms of the will.

Judah’s Inheritance is Promised and Cannot Be Erased

The tribe of Judah was chosen for leadership and rulership among the twelve tribes of Israel:

  • Genesis 49:8-10 – “Judah, you are he whom your brothers shall praise; your hand shall be on the neck of your enemies… The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh comes.”
  • Psalm 60:7 – “Judah is My lawgiver.”

🔹 Implication: The leadership and rulership aspect of Judah’s inheritance is still intact. Judah is the tribe destined to govern, teach the law, and guide Israel. Despite captivity, oppression, and dispersion, God’s promise has not changed—the rightful inheritance remains.

Judah Must Awaken and Reclaim Their True Identity

One of the greatest attacks on Judah has been identity theft and miseducation. The prophecy in Deuteronomy speaks of Judah and Israel forgetting their heritage:

  • Deuteronomy 28:64 – “And the Lord shall scatter you among all people, from one end of the earth to the other…”
  • Jeremiah 17:4 – “And you, even yourself, shall discontinue from your heritage that I gave you.”

This prophecy describes the loss of identity among the children of Judah, particularly in the lands where they were sold and scattered.

🔹 Implication: The Royal Awakening is essential! The children of Judah must reclaim their identity, history, and culture as God’s chosen people, rather than accept the false narratives imposed upon them. The inheritance belongs to those who know they are heirs!

Judah Must Return to Covenant Obedience

As God’s lawgiver and leaders, Judah is responsible for upholding the covenant. However, the curses in Deuteronomy 28 were the result of breaking the terms of God’s will.

  • Hosea 4:6 – “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest for Me.”
  • Isaiah 1:3 – “The ox knows its owner and the donkey its master’s crib; but Israel does not know, My people do not consider.”

🔹 Implication: To restore the inheritance, Judah must return to the covenant—this means keeping the commandments, observing the holy days, and separating from Babylonian customs. This is part of fulfilling the terms of God’s will to receive the promised inheritance.

Judah’s Role in the Kingdom and the Coming Judgment

The will of God includes a future kingdom where Yahusha HaMashiach (Christ) will reign as King, and Judah has a special role in this government.

  • Zechariah 12:7 – “The Lord shall save the tents of Judah first.”
  • Obadiah 1:21 – “And saviors shall come up on Mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau; and the kingdom shall be the Lord’s.”
  • Revelation 5:5 – “Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has prevailed.”

🔹 Implication: Judah’s awakening is the beginning of the restoration of Israel. The kingdom will not be established without Judah playing their role. Judah must prepare now—not just spiritually but also mentally, physically, and communally—to govern righteously.

Judah Must Separate from Babylon and Lead in Righteousness

  • Jeremiah 51:6 – “Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and deliver every man his soul: be not cut off in her iniquity.”
  • Micah 5:8 – “And the remnant of Jacob shall be among the Gentiles in the midst of many peoples like a lion among the beasts of the forest.”

🔹 Implication: Judah must come out of false doctrines, pagan traditions, and the world’s system to stand as the righteous remnant. The Royal Awakening is about restoring the law, order, and kingdom structure that was lost through centuries of captivity and deception.

How to Prepare to Receive God’s Inheritance

To claim an inheritance, heirs must be prepared. Here’s how we can position ourselves to receive God’s promises:

1. Establish Your Identity as an Heir

  • Study the Scriptures to understand your heritage and divine calling (Deuteronomy 7:6, Isaiah 44:1).

2. Separate from the World’s System

  • 2 Corinthians 6:17 – “Come out from among them and be separate, says the Lord.”
  • 1 John 2:15 – “Do not love the world or the things in the world.”
  • Remove pagan traditions, avoid worldly distractions, and focus on righteous living.

3. Walk in Righteousness and Holiness

  • Leviticus 20:26 – “You shall be holy to Me, for I the Lord am holy, and have separated you from the peoples, that you should be Mine.”
  • Ephesians 4:24 – “Put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.”
  • Live a set-apart life, guarding your actions, speech, and thoughts.

4. Store Up Treasures in Heaven (Kingdom Investments)

  • Matthew 6:19-20 – “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth… but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven.”
  • Luke 12:33 – “Sell what you have and give to the poor; provide yourselves money bags which do not grow old, a treasure in the heavens.”
  • Use your time, resources, and skills to build God’s Kingdom—teach, help others, and grow spiritually.

5. Prepare for the Coming Kingdom

  • Matthew 24:44 – “Be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.”
  • Revelation 21:7 – “He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son.”
  • Stay watchful, pray, fast, and prepare for the return of the Messiah.

And the Gates of Hell Shall not Prevail…

By Royal Awakening — 7 years ago

The Gates of Hell: A Deeper Understanding 

In Matthew 16:18, Yahusha (Jesus) declares:
“And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.”

Many pastors and preachers interpret this passage as a call for believers to be strong and unshakable in their faith, likening them to a rock that the enemy cannot overcome. While the importance of a firm foundation is undeniable (Matthew 7:24-25), there is a deeper and often overlooked meaning in this passage regarding the role of the church in spiritual warfare.

What Is the Purpose of a Gate?

A gate, by design, is not an offensive weapon—it does not attack or advance. Instead, it serves as a barrier, keeping something in or out. A gate is only effective as long as it remains intact and unbroken. If a gate is torn down, opened, or breached, it has not prevailed because it has failed in its purpose.

Now, consider Yahusha’s words again: “The gates of hell shall not prevail.” If a gate cannot move or attack, then the church is not meant to be passively defending itself against hell—the church is meant to be on the offensive, tearing down the gates that hold people captive.

Spiritual Warfare: The Church’s Duty to Tear Down Strongholds

Scripture repeatedly affirms that our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against spiritual forces of wickedness that seek to imprison the people of Yah (Ephesians 6:12). The “gates of hell” represent these oppressive powers, which include false doctrines, principalities, and systems of control designed to keep Yah’s people in bondage.

The duty of the church, therefore, is not to remain stationary on the rock, waiting for the enemy to come. The duty of the church is to tear down these gates and liberate those held in spiritual captivity.

2 Corinthians 10:4-5 reinforces this:
“For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds; Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.”

Biblical Precedents: Yah’s People Breaking Free

Throughout history, Yah’s people have found themselves entrapped behind the gates of oppressive nations due to their disobedience. The Old Testament reveals a repeated cycle:

  1. Israel rebels against Yah by following other gods and refusing to heed His prophets.
  2. Yah gives them over to their oppressors, allowing them to experience hardship and captivity.
  3. In their suffering, they cry out to Yah for deliverance and repent.
  4. Yah raises up a deliverer, leads them out, and restores them—until they fall into rebellion again.

This pattern is evident in multiple accounts:

  • Egyptian Captivity (Exodus 2:23-25): “And it came to pass in process of time, that the king of Egypt died: and the children of Israel sighed by reason of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up unto God by reason of the bondage.” Yah then raised up Moses to break them free from Pharaoh’s gates.
  • Judges Cycle (Judges 2:18-19): “And when the LORD raised them up judges, then the LORD was with the judge, and delivered them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge.” Each time they repented, Yah provided a deliverer to help them escape their oppression.
  • Babylonian Captivity (Jeremiah 29:12-14): “Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. And I will be found of you, saith the LORD: and I will turn away your captivity.”

The extra-biblical texts also confirm this pattern:

  • Book of Jasher 75:12-14 records how the Israelites suffered under Egyptian bondage until Yah heard their cries and sent Moses.
  • Book of Jubilees 23:22-23 warns that disobedience leads to oppression, but repentance leads to deliverance.
  • Book of Enoch 46:6-7 describes the wicked rulers and kings who oppress Yah’s people but will ultimately be overthrown.

Historical Examples of “Gates” Built Through the Destruction of Knowledge

One of the most effective ways rulers and oppressors have historically kept people in bondage is through the destruction of knowledge and the rewriting of history. By eliminating access to truth, they have built “gates” to imprison entire civilizations in ignorance.

1. The Burning of the Library of Alexandria (circa 3rd-4th century BCE)

The Library of Alexandria, one of the greatest centers of knowledge in the ancient world, housed vast records of history, science, and philosophy. The destruction of this library—whether by Julius Caesar’s forces, later Roman emperors, or religious zealots—was a massive blow to historical knowledge. Many ancient writings that could have provided deeper insight into the world’s true history were lost forever.

2. The Council of Nicaea and the Suppression of Texts (325 CE)

At the Council of Nicaea, Emperor Constantine and church leaders decided which books would be included in the Bible and which would be deemed heretical. Many ancient texts—including the Book of Enoch, the Book of Jubilees, and other writings used by early believers—were removed from common circulation. These books, which contained deeper revelations about fallen angels, the Nephilim, and the spiritual battle between Yah’s people and wicked rulers, were labeled as “apocrypha” or “forbidden.”

The rewriting of religious history helped establish a controlled version of faith that aligned with imperial rule, making it easier to keep people under religious and political domination.

3. The Destruction of Indigenous Knowledge by European Colonizers (1400s-1800s)

During the colonization of Africa, the Americas, and other parts of the world, European powers systematically destroyed or suppressed the records, oral traditions, and religious practices of indigenous peoples.

  • The Burning of the Maya Codices (1562 CE): Spanish conquistadors burned nearly all of the Maya civilization’s written records, which contained advanced knowledge of astronomy, mathematics, and history. Only a few codices remain today.
  • The African Slave Trade & The Erasure of Identity: Enslaved Africans were stripped of their original languages, histories, and spiritual beliefs. European and Arab slave traders actively suppressed knowledge of their Hebrew and Israelite heritage, severing them from their true identity.
  • The Berlin Conference (1884-1885): European powers divided Africa and rewrote its history, promoting the idea that African civilizations were primitive. This false narrative was used to justify colonial rule and keep people mentally enslaved.

4. The Systematic Suppression of Black History in America

During slavery and segregation in America, enslaved people were forbidden to read or write. Laws were passed to prevent literacy because knowledge leads to liberation. Even after slavery, efforts to rewrite history continued:

  • The Lost Cause Narrative: After the Civil War, Southern historians promoted a false version of history that glorified the Confederacy and minimized the horrors of slavery.
  • The Destruction of Black Wall Street (1921): In Tulsa, Oklahoma, an entire thriving Black community was burned to the ground, and many records of Black economic success were lost.
  • Education Suppression: Even today, there are ongoing efforts to control how history is taught, ensuring that certain truths remain hidden or distorted.

The Call to Come Out from Behind the Gates

Many of Yah’s people today remain trapped behind these gates—bound by false doctrines, oppressive governments, corrupt leadership, rewritten history. and worldly systems. Just as in ancient times, Yah is calling His people to come out from among them before judgment falls.

Revelation 18:4 echoes this command:
“Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.”

This is why Yahusha’s message is not just about standing firm—it’s about storming the gates of oppression and setting the captives free (Luke 4:18). Those who remain behind these gates when judgment comes will suffer the same fate as their oppressors, just as Israel’s disobedient remnant perished in Egypt, Babylon, and other captivities.

Woe unto the Pastors that Scatter the Flock!!

By Royal Awakening — 7 years ago

God with wisdom and knowledge will judge each man by their works in their day of judgement and by what has led them. Have they been led by their lusts and desires of their mind, have they been led by that which was in their nature, or has the spirit led them and by each which have they been lead to do. That which is evil, unjust and unrighteous or that which is good, righteous and fair.   Those that have the disapproving, reprobate, debating, unmerciful, unrepentant minds and hardened hearts that have unwisely passed His judgements for Him before He has will be first.

Who are these with the disapproving, reprobate, debating, unmerciful, unrepentant minds and  hardened hearts that have unwisely passed His judgements for Him before Him?

Romans 1:21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

Sounds like this is talking about those who have not studied to show themselves approved to me…

29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,31 Without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

Not only do you not study the whole of the law of God and retain its knowledge and wisdom, but you know PARTS of the law which is only the judgement of the law that says fornication, wickedness, murder  etc. are worthy of death; and not only do you do those things, but have pleasure in those that do them as well.  Knowing that deceiving is wrong you still deceive.  Knowing fornication is wrong, but still father many children with many women and none of which you care about.  Not only do you do those things, but will watch movies and shows about murder and deceit faithfully and love them.  Will enjoy the services of a whore or prostitute or watch their antics in movies, television, and reality shows.  Then the parts of the law that only includes the judgment and not the whole of the law, they then without understanding, natural affection, implacable and given to a reprobate mind use those judgements to convict all without understanding. Matthew 23:15 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.  A proselyte is a person who has converted from one opinion, religion, or party to another, especially recently.

 

 

Romans2:1 “Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.”

Romans 2:3 And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?6 Who will render to every man according to his deeds.2 But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things. 4 not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?5 But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;2 Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.

When you seek to convict someone before they have reached the seat of judgement and before the fullness of their case is put before God when he will apply the WHOLE of his law with full knowledge and understanding then you push those away from the whole of the law and the understanding of it which will lead them to repentance.  But instead you take a partial knowledge of a law and judgement that has not been revealed fully unto you and use it to impose “the wrath of God” upon them that God has not imposed sentence on them in the day you condemned them.  WOE unto those who do that and scatter the flock making them feel as if their life is over and helpless because they have been condemned by the words of the preacher who has not studied to show themselves approved unto God.

 

Jeremiah 23:1 “WOE BE UNTO THE PASTORS THAT DESTROY AND SCATTER THE SHEEP OF MY PASTURE! SAITH THE LORD.”

Job 8:3 3 Doth God pervert judgment? or doth the Almighty pervert justice?Job 34:12  Yea, surely God will not do wickedly, neither will the Almighty pervert judgment.11 For the work of a man shall he render unto him, and cause every man to find according to his ways.24 For his eyes are upon the ways of man, and he seeth all his goings.

 

Those who take the laws and judgements of God and construe them to mean another thing and to condemn solely on part of the law and not the whole of the law is perverting the justice and judgements of God.  Those who spread the teaching of such perverted judgements spreads the perversion of the law to the people and not the whole of the law causing them to become perverted and corrupt in their ways.

 

Jeremiah 23:1 WOE BE UNTO THE PASTORS THAT DESTROY AND CATTER THE SHEEP OF MY PASTURE! SAITH THE LORD.

2 Therefore thus saith the Lord God of Israel against the pastors that feed my people; Ye have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited them: behold, I will visit upon you the evil of your doings, saith the Lord.11 For both prophet and priest are profane; yea, in my house have I found their wickedness, saith the Lord.13 And I have seen folly in the prophets of Samaria; they prophesied in Baal, and caused my people Israel to err.14 I have seen also in the prophets of Jerusalem an horrible thing: they commit adultery, and walk in lies: they strengthen also the hands of evildoers, that none doth return from his wickedness; they are all of them unto me as Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorrah.16 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, Hearken not unto the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you: they make you vain: they speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the Lord.17 They say still unto them that despise me, The Lord hath said, Ye shall have peace; and they say unto every one that walketh after the imagination of his own heart, No evil shall come upon you.21 I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied.22 But if they had stood in my counsel, and had caused my people to hear my words, then they should have turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings.23 Am I a God at hand, saith the Lord, and not a God afar off?24 Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? saith the Lord. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the Lord.25 I have heard what the prophets said, that prophesy lies in my name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed.26 How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies? yea, they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart;27 Which think to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbour, as their fathers have forgotten my name for Baal.28 The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream; and he that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat? saith the Lord.29 Is not my word like as a fire? saith the Lord; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?30 Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, saith the Lord, that steal my words every one from his neighbour.31 Behold, I am against the prophets, saith the Lord, that use their tongues, and say, He saith.32 Behold, I am against them that prophesy false dreams, saith the Lord, and do tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their lightness; yet I sent them not, nor commanded them: therefore they shall not profit this people at all, saith the Lord.33 And when this people, or the prophet, or a priest, shall ask thee, saying, What is the burden of the Lord? thou shalt then say unto them, What burden? I will even forsake you, saith the Lord.34 And as for the prophet, and the priest, and the people, that shall say, The burden of the Lord, I will even punish that man and his house.

You can not let these preachers, prophets and pastors stand in front of you saying I have a word from the Lord God when they have not studied Him, have not studied his words and his laws and have not sought to understand the whole of the law but instead teach and prophesy twisted up mangled distorted partial and perverted doctrines set forth by man and their opinions.  You must study to show yourselves approved.

Romans 2:5 the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;6 Who will render to every man according to his deeds:

Now use the wisdom of God and answer this: On that day when a gay man and a pastor stands before God, do you believe that He will say to the man that has been gay “you have done my works and been pleasant in your speech to draw people unto God. You have not judged them because you knew you would be judged, but instead you taught them the truth of what you knew. You have told lies, but I’ve seen the lies you told, I searched your heart and I punished you for that which was wicked and did not for which i did not see was wicked. Even when condemned convicted and oppressed  you sang my songs, you gave to the poor and fed those you seen were hungry, you loved people and told them of God, but your mind was gay and loved another male so off to hell and damnation you go.”

Then turn to  the pastors and say: “Thou hast read the book to the people, and taught them as sheep. Your churches gave to the people at times and in ways, but you personally did not. But you still taught words in the book and had a church with hundreds or even thousands and you as the shepherd were taken care of very well with homes, cars and money. You have wanted for nothing because you have been speaking words in the book to sheep, so the sheep made sure the shepherd is kept great. But as the shepherd you forgot the sheep when the sheep had no homes or cars , or food or lights. You preached the words of the book to the sheep saying have faith little sheep and give. While thou wast kept great. You did not study history and law to understand God and his wisdom, but read from the book that was given to you. And you have spoken words of the book saying Today a people are condemned and hated by God, and turned them away from God by the thousands with these words while thou hast not studied to show thyself approved. But you were my not gay, so enter into the kingdom my favored son?

Use the wisdom of God and know that if God has an army he would not want anyone to be turned away from it and that he will be searching the heart that day, and not the bedroom. Use the wisdom of God and tell me: how is it he will answer these two on this day?

Ecclesiastes 5:8 “If thou seest the oppression of the poor, and violent perverting of judgment and justice in a province, marvel not at the matter: for he that is higher than the highest regardeth; and there be higher than they.”
