YHWH's  Truth Movement 

By G. Payne

I have noticed in the past 20 years since I first understood the truth of Yahweh and his Son Yahshua, that something is growing in the earth. It is a Movement.

Many  like to call it a cult, but a cult is one group following one leader, usually charismatic, and that is far from the shape of  this movement of which I speak. This Movement grows in the hearts of those seeking absolute truth. This is a movement of YHWH's Spirit on the face of the Nations.

All around the world, people are breaking lose from the traditional doctrines of Christianity, and are joyfully learning of the true foundations of their faith. Many are giving up holidays of the church (Christmas and Easter)  in favor of the Feast Days outlined and commanded in the Tanakh (The Old Testament). Many are giving up Sunday church-going in favor of true Sabbath observance and gathering with others of like mind and faith for study of the scriptures and worship of the Father.  Many are giving up pork and shellfish, and are striving to clean up the diet they consume and follow the scriptural guidelines for health and long life. Many are calling the Father by his true revealed name, pronounced “Yahway” and the son by his true revealed name, pronounced  Yah-shu-wa, or Yah-ho-shua. Many are doing ALL of the above, with no visible leader in sight! HalleluYah! The Spirit of YHWH leads them toward understanding by opening their eyes to comprehend His Word in a new and wonderful way they had never before known. 

But no movement is without resistance. Some  like to call these truth seekers and doers  “legalists”. Truly, a legalist is someone who “adheres strictly and literally to the law”.   A very wise man once said “ Sin is the transgression (breaking) of the law”- The Apostle John- 1John 3:4. Did the law of YHWH get hidden somewhere along the line?  Seekers  of truth are finding that the only “abolishment” of the Law of Yahweh that took place was by the Catholic church in favor of a different form of Law- Canonism.  Sunday worship is required-it is the law for Christians.  Protestant Christianity is no different, and Sunday worship is mandatory there too. That  is true legalism .  Easter and Christmas observance are also required. Giving up the 2 biggest Holy Days of Christiandom, and refraining from work to worship YHWH on the true Sabbath is frowned upon as though you are breaking some kind of law. Keeping the laws of men in place of the laws of the Creator is one of the BIGGEST errors of the Scribes and Pharisees that Yahushua preached against. If you don't think that Easter, Christmas and Sunday are LAWS for Christians, you haven't tried to stop keeping them yet. You will be persecuted in one form or another for not going along with the law of your church. Give it a try, for an experiment in who the true "legalists" are. 

All around the world YHWH's Truth Movement has begun, and the battle lines are drawn in the sand. Christian Leaders claim that Satan is at work here, drawing church members away, and out of the Grace of God  into bondage to the law again.  Christian Leaders  are trying with all their might to dissuade members from taking these Truths seriously. But interestingly, some who try to convince their “fallen” members and friends of the error of their ways (their leaving the laws of the church in favor of the Laws of YHWH), are finding facts for themselves, and are themselves being led to join the Movement! Praise to YHWH!!!!!  Even I myself was led into this marvelous light by trying to prove my Dad was wrong about Saturday being the Sabbath, and Christmas being an ancient pagan celebration! Because I sought truth, genuinely, I had to admit both to my Dad and to my Heavenly Father that I was completely wrong! I joined  this Truth Movement with one simple desire. To KNOW who my creator truly was, and what was his will for me- beyond any explanation that man or organized religion could give. I sought him out as I had never sought after anything before in my life. After I saw the truth begin to shine, I repented of errors and turned fully toward  YHWH, and he has blessed me until this day and kept me in his hand. 

The astounding fact of the matter is that this movement started as a trickle in the world, and is now upsetting Christian congregations worldwide. Members are leaving, picking up their Bibles and study tools, concordances and history books, and are learning things that the church had never taught them. And no one can argue with them, the things they are learning are the absolute truth! 

While Christian leaders call those who are learning and embracing such truths “cult members” , “sacred namers”, or  “legalists”, they still are at a loss to explain how these people, for the most part scattered abroad like the remnant that they  are, can believe almost exactly the same things so  uniformly!  They are learning at different paces, in different places, and there IS NO LEADER THAT IS VISIBLE TO THE HUMAN EYE!  The only real explanation is that Truth comes from YHWH's Word Alone, and no one can understand truth unless the Spirit of YHWH is present in them. How does one get that Spirit? The 10  Commandments given at Sinai are key. If a person commits his or her genuine effort to keeping them ALL out of Love for YHWH, and that includes His  7th day Sabbath, the Spirit of YHWH will begin to abide with that person and teach MORE Truth.  This is how worship in Spirit and Truth begins. YHWH is Spirit. We must worship him first in Spirit by desire to know Him, and to KNOW the Truth, the whole truth, and nothing BUT HIS Truth.

How can we explain such a worldwide phenomenon? 

Has Satan  deceived this remnant,  are they all being led to their doom? Will the whole world eventually be deceived by this Truth Movement? 

Or  is Almighty YHWH  preparing a remnant through His Spirit to lead toward victory, to worship in Spirit and  in Truth, because they have believed the words of His Son, and have begun to keep the very same commandments the Son kept and taught?

John 14:23 

Yahushua answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.

What words should we who love Yahushua keep, so that both the Father and Son will come unto us, and make their abode with us?  We should keep ALL the words OR Commandments of YHWH, as they are an integral part of His "Logos" (Divine Plan of Salvation).

John 14:10 

Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.

John 8:26

 I have many things to say and to judge of you: but he that sent me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I have heard of him.

John 12:49-50

 For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. (50) And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.

The Leader of this movement is Yahushua, to be sure.  The world does not see him, but those who keep the Commandments of YHWH know him, and he promises to show himself to them. This is how we have a movement with a head that the world does not see.

John 14:21 

He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.

Look around on the internet. Teachings abound about the truth of the Sabbath, Feasts, clean vs unclean meats, and Torah and True sacred names.  You will see small group after small group all teaching the same things in love- yet not conforming a central headquarters or office on this earth. You will find that they rarely have even met many others of like beliefs except via the internet. They truly are scattered.  Why is that? Because they are led by the Spirit of YHWH, and allow themselves to be taught by the prompting of His Spirit in all things according to His Word Alone! A true Movement toward worship in Spirit and Truth!  They have no need for a central leader or organization to support them with multitudes of converts and teachers. They have no need to receive a monthly subscription to a magazine to learn their faith. Yahushua dwells in the midst of them.   Look around on the World Wide Web and you will also see a great army forming against these little ones, wherever they are. Big churches are throwing shots at them, calling them cults, legalists, sermonizing against them, yet no one yet is able to prove they are wrong from the scriptures. And what's more, this Movement is gaining momentum! But so is the resistance.

Millions believe they are doing God a service by persecuting that remnant that has been freed of false man-made doctrine by the Spirit of YHWH.  Yahushua told his followers this would happen, and it has been going on since the day he said it!

If you are persecuting , either physically or emotionally, in your home or church, another human being for desiring to keep the Law of the Creator, please consider the following words of our Messiah Yahushua and repent:

Matthew 5:1-20

(1) And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him:

(2) And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,

(3) Blessed [are] the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

(4) Blessed [are] they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.

(5) Blessed [are] the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.

(6) Blessed [are] they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.

(7) Blessed [are] the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.

(8) Blessed [are] the pure in heart: for they shall see God.

(9) Blessed [are] the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.

(10) Blessed [are] they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

(11) Blessed are ye, when [men] shall revile you, and persecute [you], and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

(12) Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great [is] your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.

(13) Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.

(14) Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.

(15) Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.

(16) Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

(17) Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.

(18) For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

(19) Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach [them], the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

(20) For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed [the righteousness] of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.

Likewise, if you are being persecuted, either physically or emotionally by another human being, or family members because you desire to worship YHWH in Spirit (guidance of His Spirit) AND Truth (His Word alone is Truth), please know and understand  that there are many who are just like you who are praying for your strength during this persecution. We are all together, though we are scattered, in the hand of our Father.

Yahushua says to you, little one:

Matthew 5:43-48

(43) Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.

(44) But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;

(45) That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.

(46) For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?

(47) And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more [than others]? do not even the publicans so?

(48) Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

Those of us who have joined this Movement have prepared ourselves for the battle that lies ahead. We have as our Head the One anointed by YHWH, whose commandments are the same as His Father's commandments. 

Yahushua Messiah, who gives us the gospel of YHWH's Kingdom to take to the world.

The Movement toward worship in Spirit and Truth is quickly becoming an army for Truth. I dare say that none will be able to stop it, no, not even the largest army in the world.

Rev 14:12

Here is the patience of the saints: here [are] they that keep the commandments of YHWH, and the faith of Yahushua.

Shalom!
