While on the subject “from the beginning”, we love the words Kathryn Kent used “original intent” on a comment she left for us – our new two favorite words – thanks Kathryn. Of all the subjects, the most basic and simple revelation that has become the most complicated is Yahweh’s (God’s) original intent to speak and have an ongoing relationship with man. Throughout generations, a major stumbling block has been that Yahweh is a Spirit. Man has always wanted a tangible, touchable, visible manifestation – i.e. a king (person), or an idol (graven image).

One of the greatest gifts Apostle Ball ever gave to us was the revelation that we could have a one on one personal relationship with our Heavenly Father. By hearing His voice personally, hearing His voice within other’s voices, praying in the Spirit, and honoring Him with our first and our best, we will position ourselves to join heaven and earth together and permeate this world with the glory of Yahweh. Apostle Ball has not only preached this message fervently, but he has also lived it out before us every day. Thank you so much Apostle. You have always pointed everyone to the Father. You have been determined not to be a Moses. We are so thankful to the Father for you – you have great seed in the earth.

This walk with Yahweh for the last 27 years has been such an adventure. We really do not understand why anyone would want to have a substitute for the incredible relationship one can have with Yahweh. Although He is Spirit, if you have eyes to see and ears to hear, He makes Himself known in tangible ways every day. We can see His hand moving on our behalf with favor, great ideas, wisdom, insight, and peace. We have had so many taps on our shoulder with the words “Only I can do this for you” – times when we are amazed and overtaken with a blessing. We have so many funny, emotionally overwhelming, practical, and undeniable examples of Yahweh’s personal infusion in our lives. He knows us so well. Thank you Yahweh – we will always seek your face, hear Your voice, enjoy Your interactions, and pursue Your redemption of this earth. We will have no other god (man or graven image) before You.
