YOU ARE AN OVERCOMER BECAUSE OF; YOM KIPPUR ATONEMENT

  *Translate into your own language by clicking the icon to the right of the screen.* 

This Yom Kippur season is upon us and I have heard people speak of names being blotted out of the Lamb`s book of Life/the Book of Life.  We should not add things to the scripture that it does NOT say.  In Revelations it speaks of Yeshua NEVER blotting someone`s name out of the Book, who overcomes.  The over comer is often thought of someone who is working hard at something.  But I am telling you today; Yeshua was the ONE who Overcame on our behalf, with His atoning death on the tree.  This person who overcomes is the person who believes and puts their hope, faith, trust and love in Yeshua.  Read the passages below for yourself.

Who is the OVER COMER?
Rev 3:5 He who overcomes will, like them, be dressed in white. I will never blot out his name from the book of life , but will acknowledge his name before my Father and his angels.

It is NOT of your own works!
 1 John 5:5 Who is it that overcomes the world? Only he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.

NO ONE AND NOTHING (INCLUDING THE ENEMY) CAN TAKE YOU OUT OF GOD`S ALMIGHTY HAND!  If you really think that something or some sin can separate you from God`s love then, it is very possible that in your mind you have made Yeshua out to be a mere man like yourself.
John 10 says,
  ²⁷ My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. ²⁸ I give them eternal life(means being written in the Book of Life), and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand. ²⁹ My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand. ³⁰ I and the Father are one.”  No one can snatch you out of the hand of the Father or of Yeshua`s Almighty hand.  Do not doubt it only believe!

Romans 8

³¹ What shall we say about such wonderful things as these? If God (the Father) is for us, who can ever be against us? ³² Since he did not spare even his own Son, but gave him up for us all, won’t he also give us everything else? ³³ Who dares accuse us whom God has chosen for his own? No one—for God (the Father) himself has given us right standing with himself. ³⁴ Who then will condemn us? No one—for Christ Jesus died for us and was raised to life for us, and he is sitting in the place of honor at God’s right hand, pleading for us.

³⁵ Can anything ever separate us from Christ’s love? Does it mean he no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or threatened with death? ³⁶ (As the Scriptures say, “For your sake we are killed every day; we are being slaughtered like sheep.” ³⁷ No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us.
³⁸ And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. ³⁹ No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.

A FAITHLESS OR FAITHFUL GENERATION?

 It is not enough to know something, it has to be BELIEVED.
First, you do need the knowledge but secondly you need to put the knowledge to practice.  When we act upon something, we believe it.  This is why everyone who came to Yeshua were healed.  They came to Yeshua TO be healed.  In Yeshua`s home town he could do no great miracles because the people did not believe in Him.  Why would you ever go to a Doctor if you did not believe he could help you.  The people in Yeshua`s hometown did not come to Him to be healed therefore He could do nothing great there.  Unbelief is one of those things in the end that will cause people to miss out on Salvation.  It is also something(a Spirit) that will be thrown into the pit  when Yeshua comes to make ALL things new. 

Look at the story from Mark 9.
 Yeshua  Heals a Boy with an Unclean Spirit
¹⁴ And when they came to the disciples, they saw a great crowd around them, and scribes arguing with them. ¹⁵ And immediately all the crowd, when they saw him, were greatly amazed and ran up to him and greeted him. ¹⁶ And he asked them, “What are you arguing about with them?” ¹⁷ And someone from the crowd answered him, “Teacher, I brought my son to you, for he has a spirit that makes him mute. ¹⁸ And whenever it seizes him, it throws him down, and he foams and grinds his teeth and becomes rigid. So I asked your disciples to cast it out, and they were not able.” ¹⁹ And he answered them, “O faithless generation, how long am I to be with you? How long am I to bear with you? Bring him to me.” ²⁰ And they brought the boy to him. And when the spirit saw him, immediately it convulsed the boy, and he fell on the ground and rolled about, foaming at the mouth. ²¹ And Jesus asked his father, “How long has this been happening to him?” And he said, “From childhood. ²² And it has often cast him into fire and into water, to destroy him. But if you can do anything, have compassion on us and help us.” ²³ And Jesus said to him, “‘If you can’! All things are possible for one who believes.” ²⁴ Immediately the father of the child cried out and said, “I believe; help my unbelief!” ²⁵ And when Jesus saw that a crowd came running together, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, “You mute and deaf spirit, I command you, come out of him and never enter him again.” ²⁶ And after crying out and convulsing him terribly, it came out, and the boy was like a corpse, so that most of them said, “He is dead.” ²⁷ But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him up, and he arose. ²⁸ And when he had entered the house, his disciples asked him privately, “Why could we not cast it out?” ²⁹ And he said to them, “This kind cannot be driven out by anything but prayer.”
^{Yeshua is calling the disciples a faithless generation because they were unable to get rid of this demon.  Now remember, this was before Yeshua died, so they were not regenerated yet.   The reason to bring this up is-today we are regenerated-if Yeshua is calling them a faithless generation-what would Yeshua be calling us today?  Do we even care as believers?  Are we faithful or faithless?  Yeshua said these signs shall follow those who believe.....And these signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will cast out demons; they will speak in new tongues;  they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well."Mark 16:17-18}
